Chapter 45 Sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, worship the ancestors, and sacrifice the flag! (1)
"Oh yes."
Ling Feng added: "Let the Armory Workshop prepare 10,000 more spears, and I will take them with me when I go on the expedition." ”
"No."
The two of them replied and left.
In fact, things like building weapons privately and going out with more weapons are not allowed in the barracks, and if all the generals are like this, then it will not be chaotic.
However, this is Ling Feng's prerogative, Huang Daoyi has long said that all weapons and equipment are given priority by the elite battalion, so when he said this, Lu Wen and Lu Chang didn't feel anything wrong.
As for the two mysterious weapons, Ling Feng didn't know what to say, they were what he had seen from the books left by his father, and their function was to assist the war horse to gallop, so that the soldiers could control the war horse faster and more steadily, and they could meet the battle more handily when engaged.
Stirrups, saddles!
These are the two things that Lu Wen and Lu Chang are about to create.
In this era, this has never happened, not only have the two of them never seen it, but even Ling Feng himself has never seen it.
In the end, he asked the armory workshop to prepare 10,000 more spears, Ling Feng believed that the strength of cavalry often lies in his speed and momentum, if he can use this momentum to throw the spear, the damage to the enemy will definitely be great, no less than bow and arrow shooting.
It is necessary to have 10,000 spears to throw; Regardless of whether there are soldiers from other battalions or not, the elite battalion must have them!
After giving everything orders, Ling Feng returned to his seat and sat down.
Although he didn't need to do these things himself, it was also very tiring to work hard, and the life of the entire elite battalion was in his hands, and Ling Feng had to be cautious.
"Oh, that's not right!"
He suddenly had a very serious problem!
A long time ago, he saw from that book that Pang Yi rebelled, and Taishi led his troops to fight, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations, Taishi was defeated, but Pang Yi was victorious, and it was precisely because of this that there was chaos in the world afterward.
Ling Feng gasped, this time he went on an expedition, but there were 600,000 people, and 400,000 of them were the elite of a hundred battles, such a strong strength, not to mention facing two or three hundred thousand anti-thieves, even if it was one million, there was a possibility of victory.
But it is written in the book that Qin Huai was defeated in this battle, and he was defeated extremely badly, and even Qin Huai himself died!
"600,000 people, can't defeat 200,000 or 300,000 thieves, there are such strange stories in the world."
Ling Feng muttered to himself, then took out the book from his arms and kept looking at it
Time flies, three days later.
In these three days, Lu Wen and Lu Chang had built fifteen hundred pairs of stirrups and saddles, and although they did not successfully complete the task, Ling Feng did not blame them, because what he was thinking in his heart was fifteen hundred pairs, and the elite battalion only needed fifteen hundred pairs.
The reason why he wanted to talk about two thousand at the beginning was completely Ling Feng's little trick, wanting to make the two of them a little pressure, so that they could do their best to build it.
With these, Ling Feng immediately made a thousand heavy armored cavalry and five hundred light cavalry equipped, and after half a day of running-in, the overall effect was not bad, whether it was the soldier's control of the war horse, or the speed of running, there was a significant improvement.
this day.
When the emperor's decree came to the barracks, the soldiers were all ready to go, lined up in one direction, about two hours later, the new barracks 200,000, the old barracks 200,000, gathered in the northern school field, there are also Qinhuai's most elite 200,000 horses, gathered together at this time like the tide of the sea, the momentum is sudden.
A full 600,000 people gathered here, and the North Campus became crowded in an instant.
As Qin Huai said that day, he finally persuaded the emperor and promised 600,000 people to go on the expedition together, as for how he did it, I won't list them one by one here, anyway, he said a lot of alarmist things, one scared the emperor, and the other told the benefits of the 600,000 army after the expedition.
The emperor thought about it for a long time and finally compromised.
Isn't it just to spend a little more food, the emperor admits it, as long as he can completely eradicate the rebels, he intends to bear any price!
At this time, Qin Huai and the others had not yet come, and the emperor had not come, Ling Feng and the elite battalion soldiers were erected in a corner, this place was a dead end, the left rear was a wall, only the right front was passable, Xiao Anzi, Han Ziyu, Lu Wen, and Lu Chang were all around him, with a solemn expression.
The battle is about to be launched, including Ling Feng and Han Ziyu, almost everyone here has never really fought, and no one can understand the cruelty on the battlefield, of course, here is talking about 200,000 new barracks, and the remaining 400,000 are exceptions.
Han Ziyu carried the wine jug in one hand and put the other hand in his waist, his eyes casually scanned the surroundings, and after a while, he chuckled: "General Ling, you have a lot of enemies, you have to be careful this expedition." ”
"Why did you say that, sir?"
Ling Feng asked.
He seemed to be casual on his face, but in his heart he had already thrown himself to the ground for the five bodies that Han Ziyu admired, and with such a casual sweep, he could see the situation in the barracks, which showed how vicious his vision was, anyway, Ling Feng was ashamed of himself.
Han Ziyu smiled and said, "General Ling, you might as well take a look left and right, those generals and captains who wear the same armor as you, which one of them doesn't grit their teeth and look at you from time to time, isn't this obvious?" ”
"Hehe, the grain and grass escort officer is a fat poor, everyone wants to take a bite, it's not strange, but you can't just think about it, you have to have the ability!"
Ling Feng's eyes glanced around, and he chuckled: "Taishi has a saying that is right, the elite battalion is an elite battalion after all. ”
"General Ling, it's not so simple to escort grain and grass, especially this time, you are worried about internal and external troubles!"
Han Ziyu reminded.
Of course Ling Feng knew this, but he wasn't afraid, if people like Liu Hai and Zhou Meng couldn't clean it up, then what else was there to mess with? As for the rest, there is no need to worry, those people are just envious, jealous and hateful, as long as a little benefit is given at the right time, no matter how big the matter can be settled.
He didn't say these words to Han Ziyu, he just pursed his mouth and said, "Let's wait and see." ”
Han Ziyu appreciates Ling Feng's self-confidence, but he is also a little worried, the so-called extreme things must be opposed, and overconfidence is arrogance, which is a big taboo for the enemy!
The two were silent.
After tea.
"The emperor has arrived!"
There was a shout in the distance, at this moment, all the soldiers looked towards a place together, only to see a large group of people driving into the school field, led by a middle-aged man in golden armor, behind him, surrounded by countless royal forest troops, as well as Qin Huai, Huang Daoyi and other senior generals, no need to guess to know, that middle-aged man is the son of heaven of the Golden Dragon Dynasty!
Today, he has changed his sick state in the past, he did not ride the dragon belt, nor did he take the royal family to rely on, but simply sat on a gold-armored war horse, with a great breeze, so not majestic.
If it was in normal times, he would never wear this kind of armor, thick and heavy, at least fifty or sixty pounds, for him who is pampered, it is simply a kind of torture; But today is different, he has to wear it!
The emperor is the backbone of everyone's hearts and a symbol of authority, if he is still sick when boosting morale, it will directly affect the morale of the soldiers, which is especially bad for the expedition!
With the sound of drums and the roar shaking the sky, the emperor and Qin Huai and others slowly walked onto the handsome platform.
There are three huge incense burners on it, and in each tripod there are three stalks of red incense about one zhang long, and in front of the three tripod furnaces, there is a table on which there are many offerings, such as pig's head, fruits, liquor, and so on.
