Chapter 722: The Whole Army Will Hunt (11)

On the east ferry of the Yellow River, a Yellow River ferry slowly parted the waves and came to the east bank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With such a majesty, the people on the boat they guarded, needless to say, were Liu Guangshi, who was the most pompous in the Western Army, and the generals were already waiting there, Han Tao was standing at the forefront, and at this moment there was still a light rain in the weather, and the rain slid down his pocket, making his face look extremely gloomy, and he couldn't see the joy of crossing the river smoothly and moving eastward.

The big ship slowly approached the shore, and the sound of drums and trumpets sounded under the boat, and more than a dozen sergeants hurriedly connected the cable and moored and set up the gangplank, and then saw those brocade clothes and iron armor guards, row after row with full honor guard flags driving down, and then extending the queue in a figure-eight shape on both sides.

When these brocade-clothed ironclad guards stood still, how many soldiers and soldiers bowed down and saluted together, roaring like thunder: "Welcome to the general!" ”

In the shouting, I saw two horse boys with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes come out first, leading Liu Guangshi's pure black, only the hooves have a circle of white Hexi treasure horse, and then eight personal guards got off the springboard and spread a big red felt strip in the mud, and the dark cloud covered snow Hexi treasure horse waited in front of the felt strip, without mud and water, and could go straight to the mount.

After these arrangements were completed, I saw Liu Guangshi staggering out, he had never put on armor, he was dressed in brocade, and he was still holding an iron ruyi in his hand, and he had done enough of the posture of a famous general, Han Tao's face was gloomy, if Liu Guangshi dared to go straight to the mount like this, he would be able to brush his sleeves and leave!

Fortunately, Liu Guangshi still had to give Han Tao a favor, and when he saw Han Tao standing in the front, he greeted him: "Why should General Han be polite?" Bring your mount and go! What can you ask for? Why don't you come to greet you? ”

"Returning to the general, now the leader is no longer Zhekeqiu, but Zheyanzhi!"

Liu Guangshi was stunned, and then stopped talking, Zhi Yanzhi's current official position is still above him, so he won't say much, but he still has more people, there are more than 30,000 people, and the Zhejia army is only 10,000 people at most.

A greeting made Han Tao's face look a little better, and a personal guard had already brought his mount over, Han Tao waited for Liu Guangshi to get on the horse first, and then he also turned over, and all the generals who greeted him also got up, and in the sound of drums and trumpets, they lined up and escorted Liu Guangshi to the location of the Chinese army and set up a big tent for the Chinese army.

As Liu Guangshi swayed his jade wishes, those brocade-clothed ironclad guards also got on the war horses that crossed the river first, and surrounded Liu Guangshi and Han Tao and splashed mud all over the ground.

And at this moment, in the north of the river, there are endless boats to cross the river, and on the east bank of the Yellow River, I don't know how many Yanyan Road troops are waiting to cross the river, and in the more than ten miles away, there are all sergeants, all chariots and horses, and all the flags in the army!

Although the strength of the Zhejia army is not much, but the camp can be seen that the standard of this army and horses is still good, every local work is very solid, there is no place to steal and cheat, and the patrol cavalry outside the camp is also meticulously dispatched, shuttling back and forth, and covering the left and close to the camp closely.

On the water, trestle bridges have been set up on the south and north banks to facilitate the arrival of follow-up military horses, and the people mobilized from Fengfu Lin Sanzhou are also going south with the army to transfer the military food and salary needed to support a war.

Inside and outside the camp, although the armor and ordnance of the soldiers of the Zhejia Army are not the most sophisticated, they are all very well maintained, and they all stand tall and bulge their bellies between the marches, as if they want to try their best to show the majesty of the Zhejia Hewai Army.

A large number of large numbers of Yan Yan army crossed the river, and then were introduced into various camps to settle down, compared to the small and capable Zhejia army, the Yan Yan army lineup looks a lot more chaotic, when the Western Army selected the elite to go out, the Yan Yan army as a remaining military town, the elite has been mostly drawn out.

Part of it with the funeral of the Huanqing army, part of it was also intercepted by the rest of the army, and it was not returned to the town, the Yan army stayed in Shaanxi for a few years, and the face of the Xixia Left Wing Shenyong Army Division has long become a soft persimmon, and the remaining military horses have not heard the flames of war in recent years, and they have lived a very moist life.

Originally, a large number of elites were transferred, and the drills and wars have not kept up in recent years, and the morale in the army has long been exhausted.

Now for Liu Guangshi to hurriedly mobilize and cross the river to the east, these Yanyan army officers and soldiers could not sort out the queue for a long time after crossing the river, and the manpower to arrange the camp was not very effective, some of the camp settled more people and horses, some of the camp settled down less people, there were some quarrels everywhere, and the generals had to rush to mediate.

In such a chaotic situation, even if the ferry boat prepared was enough, the speed of crossing the river could not be fast, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River shouted and neighed, and I really didn't know how many days it would take for this brigade of Yan Yanjun to cross it all.

Although the Yan army does not seem to have much strong fighting spirit, and the degree of training is not as good as the military horses of the Zhe family, but the strength of the lineup is extremely strong, Liu Guangshi crossed the river this time, and he is playing the idea of showing off his military might, and he also wants to show off his prestige before the Zhe family, so that the Zhe family can see clearly how much capital a certain family has, and if it wins in the future, no matter what benefits are gained, a certain family will naturally have the largest share.

In this eastward advance, Liu Guangshi did his best to mobilize the military horses under his command, and even mobilized the defenders in the border military villages! Even more oppressive localities tried their best to supply the people, transferred heavy grain and grass, counted the number of troops, and mobilized more than 30,000 troops and horses from the main army to the auxiliary army to the people!

In fact, it is not a good thing to mobilize so many men and horses, so many people and horses, relying on the three states of Fengfu and Lin must not be able to support it, and it is difficult to transfer grain and grass across the river, which is difficult in logistics, and the battlefield is not very large, but it is a place where the army of one or two states is concentrated, and it is difficult to mobilize and command.

But Liu Guangshi is greedy and seeking perfection, and he hurriedly pulled out many military horses, Yan Yan all the way, the people were in an uproar everywhere, and the military horses and civilian vehicles were on the way, and now a ferry is crowded, and there are constantly military horses and civilian men rushing here to prepare to cross the river!

However, although there are many troubles with military horses, such a lineup is enough to make people jaw-dropping, and they saw the Yellow River ferries shuttling back and forth, and unloading a large number of military horses one after another.

On the east bank of the Yellow River, I saw that the people in armor were covered with the ground and the sky, and the camp tents had been set up a lot, and they were still extending to both sides, and there were more military and horse flags on the other side of the river, covering the sky and covering the sun, and the sound of the golden drum and the order could be heard clearly across the river.
