Chapter 462: Bargaining

Li Xiang glanced around, saw that everyone had a little eagerness in their eyes, and said: "Shaoxi Mansion originally had 3,000 government troops, and later there were many casualties in the Battle of the Yangtze River, but it was helped by more than 1,000 people from Liang Wuling in Enzhou, and now there are 3,000 government troops from Chongqing Mansion borrowed from them, plus 2,000 people recruited by Chongqing Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"It's full of battles, and my Shaoxi Mansion army is nearly 10,000 people," Li Xiang looked at Gao Meng and the others a little embarrassed, among them, such as Gao Meng and others, they had already been generals in the imperial court, if they hadn't been rejected by Ding Daquan, maybe they would have been under the control of one side; Even people like Liu Shirong are also a group training: "How much do you think cavalry should be better?" ”

"That's definitely the more the merrier." Gao Meng is very calm, from the general to the small soldier, he does not have any discomfort.

Guo Gelu saw that everyone didn't care about his identity, but he also relaxed a little, shook his head and said: "The number of cavalry is not much, my Great Song Dynasty has always been mainly crossbow arrows, and the cavalry is mainly auxiliary, plus I have an artillery battalion in Shaoxi Mansion, and the soldiers are not many in the elite, and I think that there are 3,000 elites enough." ”

"Bang", Li Xiang almost didn't fall to the ground, three thousand cavalry, that is to say, at least three thousand war horses, where to find this.

"You find someone to do it yourself." Li Xiang glared at him: "I said Guo Xixia, your appetite is too big, right?" ”

"What about 2,000 people?" Guo Gelu collects debts and repays debts, as if this imaginary cavalry has already been in his hands.

"No way."

"A thousand?"

"Five hundred?"

"It can't be any less, three hundred." Guo Gelu said very seriously, the cavalry in this air pavilion seems to have been galloping in front of his eyes, and the cavalry can only really show its combat power after more than 300.

Yang Wushu was depressed: "I said Guo Xixia, this cavalry is an adult and not your sheep, why are you working so hard?" ”

Guo Gelu smiled awkwardly: "My lord, this, this." ”

Gao Meng smiled and said, "Guo boy is good, but he can be the head of the cavalry." ”

Dizzy, how do you talk about this?

Li Xiang also nodded and said, "In this case, why don't we wait for a discussion and give Lao Tzu's cavalry a name." ”

"Tiger Hill Ride!" I don't know where Guo Gelu saw this name, back then, the Great Song Huqiu Army, the Liao State Tielin Army, the Western Xia Iron Harrier, and the Jin State Tiefutu were called the four major heavy armored knights, and they were very popular.

Back then, Li Jilong fought with Yelu Huge, who selected 30,000 elites from the Tielin Army and 50,000 cavalry from other troops, totaling 80,000 troops.

However, Li Jilong's Dingzhou camp only had more than 10,000 people, and the Tiger Hill army only had 1,000 horsemen. The Song army has always lacked horses, but the Huqiu army all used good horses from the Western Regions, equipped with more sophisticated armor and weapons of the Song Empire, and the knights were all masters of Hebei martial arts.

The next day, the Liao army all crossed the Tang River, 80,000 elite cavalry lined up the formation, hunting with banners, exhaling like thunder, the Song army on the opposite side was only 10,000 people, but what made Yelu Hugo could not see through was that Li Jilong did not put out a large array to defend against the enemy, on the contrary, Li Jilong launched an active attack on the Liao army from the front

The Tiger Hill Army was mighty and strong, and the Liao Army could not beat its front in the front, and was quickly rushed out of the formation, Yelu Hugo waved the flag, and the arrows rained down, but the Tiger Hill Army relied on its strong armor and strong martial arts, and rushed in in the rain of arrows!

The Liao army has always been accustomed to dealing with various formations of the Song army on the outside line, but today it was rushed into its own position by the Song army, and in the panic, it was already defeated. Where the Song army's iron cavalry rushed through, no one could stop it; Where the bow and crossbow lead, the Liao cavalry fell down; The person who swung the sword at the piercing knife opened his body and cracked.

Yelu Hugo could not stop the defeat, so he could only flee towards the north bank, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, pursued and killed until the Cao River, beheaded 15,000 ranks, captured 10,000 war horses, and countless weapons and armor.

That's a myth.

In the eighth year of Xianchun, Tiger Hill rode into an army, with a tentative quota of 300 people, with Guo Gelu as the commander and Zhu Wenwu as the deputy commander.

"My lord, the Tiger Hill Cavalry has a quota of 300 people, but the reason why the Sichuan envoy helped me to form an army in Shaoxi Mansion is to rescue Sichuan, so I think that the current sailor should be the main force of our army." Although Lu Xiufu is Lu Wende's person, he is willing to sincerely contribute to Shaoxi Mansion, but after all, he is a person who attaches great importance to state affairs, a person who values love and righteousness, and Lu Wende has the grace of knowing him, seeing that everyone is a little forgetful, he hurriedly said.

Although Gao Meng was relegated to his hometown by Ding Daquan as a hermit, after all, he was an old general cultivated by the country, and loyalty and patriotism still dominated the ideology, and he also nodded: "Sichuan is in danger, Sichuan survives, the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and if Sichuan dies, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger." ”

"At present, there are more than 100 warships in Shaoxi Mansion, eight steam ships, and the others are flat-bottomed boats, which can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and it is recommended that the sailors of Shaoxi Mansion have a tentative crew of 3,000 people." Li Xiang glanced around at everyone and said, "The commander of the water division is Gao Meng, and the deputy commander is Zhao Yi, I don't know what you think?" ”

"No, no," Gao Meng didn't wait for Li Xiang to finish speaking, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My old man has finally calmed down, you kid don't pull it on me." ”

Li Xiang hurriedly made a gesture and said seriously: "Gao Shuai, you have always seen the situation of Shaoxi Mansion, although we have sharp spirit, we do not lack courage, but after all, we are rushing to promote the army and lack experience, Gao Shuai, are you willing to watch the Shaoxi Mansion Army finally formed, and you really can't bear to watch the Shaoxi Mansion Army be destroyed?" ”

"This," Gao Meng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then the old man will temporarily take the position of commander of the water division, but you kid must promise my old man to change people as soon as possible." ”

"Absolutely, absolutely." Li Xiang hurriedly agreed, if he didn't agree, he couldn't do it, the old man Gao was on the court with a number, in case Sichuan broke the siege, the old man Gao estimated that he would have to pack up the package and go back to his hometown, don't forget that Ding Daquan is still half the boss in the court.

"Zhao Yi, it's your blessing to be able to follow Gao Shuai, you must listen carefully to Gao Shuai's teachings." Li Xiang looked at Zhao Yi, who was about to move, and reminded: "The sailor of Shaoxi Mansion has just become a master, and everything needs to be arranged by Gao Shuai. ”

"My lord," Zhao Yi asked embarrassedly, "What about trivial things such as grain, grass, and silver?" ”

Li Xiang patted his brain, Zhao Yi had been in charge of the logistics, and he was also dizzy, and hurriedly said: "That's Lao Lu's business, you can leave it to him." ”

It doesn't matter if it's Lu Xiufu's business or not, anyway, if it is handed over to Li Xiang, he is willing to run ten laps on the school grounds.

"Since the sailor has become an army, please ask Gao Shuai to worry more about specific things, if there is any shortage, please ask Gao Shuai to command at any time." Li Xiang arched his hand to Gao Meng, and hurriedly set the name first.

Gao Meng smiled bitterly, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy. His life in his hometown was quite nourishing, because Zhu Wenwu brought a few Tartar heads to cool his heart and warm it again.

Zhao Yi is a good hand on the water, and everyone is recognized as him, so naturally he has nothing to say, and Zhao Yi was born and died with Li Xiang.

"My lord, you're too partial." Yang Wushu was impatient, and seeing that Guo Gelu, who was also from the Forbidden Army, had found a position, he couldn't help but say loudly.
