Chapter 148: The Warrior at the Forefront
Zhao Yun was recruited into the flying cavalry camp by Lu Bu, although Lu Bu knew in his heart what kind of skills he had, but in the army, the place where military merit and seniority are most important, everything had to start from scratch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhao Yun had some expectations for Lu Bu's recruitment, and he had thought of this possible outcome from the time Song Xian deliberately brought him to see Lu Bu. Zhao Yun was not disgusted by this. With what he has learned, if he just huddles up in Zhending County to be the leader of the people, what kind of face will he have to see the master in the future?
It is said that a gentleman hides his weapons and moves when the time comes. Now that Zhao Yun has joined the strongest flying cavalry battalion in the world, even if it starts from the most ordinary cavalry, sooner or later he will have to get ahead!
The Flying Cavalry Battalion continued to march eastward, and met Zhao Feng and Xia Houlan who were waiting on the road. Zhao Yun told his brother that he had been conscripted into the army by the Tiance Army, and that the punishment that his brother needed to accept had been waived by General Tiance himself, and that he could return to Jizhou now.
Zhao Feng knew that his brother had great ambitions, and he had wanted to serve the country in the army since he was a child, and now he happened to have an opportunity to join the Tiance Army, which can be regarded as realizing his dream in life. He told Zhao Yun that when he sent the cart of grain to Lishi, he would return to Zhending, so that Zhao Yun would not have to worry, and he would train and sharpen in the Tiance Army, and strive to achieve his achievements as soon as possible.
Xiahou Lan saw that Zhao Yun had voted for the Tiance Army, and was a little moved, so she asked Zhao Yun to speak for him and recommended him to General Tiance. Zhao Yun thought of Xiahoulan's friendship with him all the way to Jizhou, so he came to see Lu Bu and recommended Xiahoulan to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu naturally would not refuse such a good thing. Although Xiahou Lan has always been overshadowed by Zhao Yun's light, he is also a person who has left his name in the history books, and including him in the army can not only make many military judges, but also make Zhao Yun feel that he is valued.
Hearing that Zhao Feng insisted on sending a cart of grain to Lishi, Lu Bu felt that the two brothers of the Zhao family really had the same character of paying attention to faithfulness, and he encouraged Zhao Feng and said: "Paying attention to faithfulness is the foundation of being a man, and people like you deserve to be respected and preferential." If you feel that your hometown is still short of horses, you can try to buy them from the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu people in the grass market in Yuanyin. β
Zhao Feng naturally understood the weight of Lu Bu's promise. As long as the Tiance Army allowed him to walk and operate between Jizhou and Bingzhou, it would be equivalent to sending a financial road to his feet. For Lu Bu's kindness and kindness, Zhao Feng couldn't refuse at all, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Lu Bu.
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan said goodbye to Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yun handed over all the two horses and twenty catties of gold that Zhao Yun rode in the future to his brother, and suggested that the brother take the gold to the grass market to buy two more high-quality horses for the county, and then bring them back together.
The Flying Cavalry Battalion delayed on the road for an hour, and then galloped forward again. Naturally, there is no shortage of war horses for Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan to ride in the battalion, and when the flying cavalry battalion goes out to fight, it not only brings reserve horses, but also pack horses, and in terms of logistics support, it is definitely the most in place among all battalions.
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were assigned by Lu Bu to Song Xian's vanguard battalion, and Song Xian directly commanded the two. Song Xian quietly told Zhao Yun that the snow-white war horse he was riding under his crotch now was the general's reserve horse, although it was not as valuable as the red rabbit, but it was also one of the several horses that the general liked before he got the red rabbit. Song Xian also told General Zhao Yun that he loved horses as his life, and he had a relationship with horses since he was a child, and all the horses he fancied were definitely the best horses in a thousand.
Song Xian said this, naturally reminding Zhao Yun to behave well in the future, and not to live up to the general's expectations and cultivation.
Zhao Yun doesn't like to talk big, he just silently wrote down the matter in his heart. Since the general did not hesitate to prepare horses for gifts, he rode this war horse to do something convincing!
The cavalry marched at a high speed, and two days later the cavalry battalion reached Tianjing Pass. Lu Bu personally met with Chen Tao, who was stationed in Guancheng, and praised and encouraged Chen Tao. The two Chen brothers are indeed good, since they joined the Tiance Army, they have shown a good family heritage and professionalism, and they are impeccable in their due diligence.
The 500 soldiers of the Chen family who were directly under Chen Tao finally saw the majestic flying cavalry camp with their own eyes, and they all lay on the high battlements and looked down, watching the knights of the flying cavalry battalion pass through the doorway under the gate in a neat formation.
"Is this the cavalry unit that defeated the Xianbei people three times in a row in the north?"
"Nonsense, for sure! The cavalry that can follow the general of the Tiance Army is naturally the Flying Cavalry Battalion! The Tiance Army has six battalions, but the flying cavalry battalion is all cavalry, which is under the command of the general himself! β
"Shhhh Ever heard of an armored ride? β
"I've heard that when they don't go to war, they can't see it. I heard that the equipment was disassembled and carried on a horse. β
"Hey, hey! Look at the pack horses in the back! All of them were identical black leather bags, bulging inside, and they must have been fitted. β
"Oh my God, with so many equipment, there shouldn't be any cavalry in the world that can beat the flying cavalry battalion, right?"
"That's for sure! I heard that there is a white horse under the command of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, who often fights against the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, and they are also very powerful, and the number seems to be three thousand; Ma Teng of Liangzhou had a Qiang cavalry under his command, and the number was several thousand, and they often rebelled in Liangzhou and fought with the Western Liang army. If these two cavalry units meet the cavalry battalion, I can guarantee that they will be defeated! β
"Yes, it will be defeated! The flying cavalry camp is the pride of our men, and it will definitely sweep Kyushu in the future and set foot in the world! β
The discussion of the defenders at the head of the wall to lower their voices continued, but Lu Bu had already sent Song Xian to lead his team through Taihang in advance and go to Hanoi to inquire about the military situation.
In the face of the Montenegrin army ravaging Hanoi, LΓΌ Bu was not blindly arrogant, let alone blindly optimistic. The Montenegrin Army was different from the Yellow Turban Army in the past, they had suffered from the encirclement and suppression of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the imperial court, and knew that they could make full use of the valley and jungle terrain to fight guerrillas, and there were many people, so it was very difficult to exterminate them.
The reason why Lu Bu didn't bring the infantry this time was because he felt that the speed of the infantry was too slow and it was difficult to play a role. Lu Bu does not have the idea of completely controlling Hanoi at present, he just wants to drive the Black Mountain Army back to his lair, and then transfer the people of Hanoi to Bingzhou, and then dig up some talents from Luoyang to get some benefits, and then withdraw to the party as soon as possible.
Song Xian took three hundred light horsemen to move forward cautiously in the narrow mountain valley road, and a certain gap was opened between the men and horses to prevent people from ambushing on both sides of the valley and suddenly launching an attack.
Zhao Yun changed into a leather armor and walked at the front of the team with an iron helmet on his head.
This is what he took the initiative to ask Song Xian.
Only a true warrior would dare to walk at the front of the line, taking the robe behind him against unknown dangers.
