Chapter 294: Watching the Battle (1)

"Drip~~Drip~~"

The sharp bamboo whistles woke Shang Kexi from his sleep, and when he opened his sleepy eyes, he looked out of the gap in the tent, only to see that in the blue-black sky, the stars were still blinking, and the faint light of the first morning light could be faintly seen on the ground outside the tent.

According to Shang Kegming's estimate, it is now only three to four o'clock in the morning, and the Liao army has risen too early, right?

You must know that he is in the military camp on Guanglu Island, even if it is the day when Shangguan comes to the colonel, before the first hour of the hour, don't want to let those soldiers leave the straw nest!

Oh, by the way, Chu Fan told him that today was the day to attack the Liu family's mansion, no wonder they got up so early!

After hurriedly getting up and leaving the tent, Shang Kexi didn't even bother to wash, and went straight to the camp gate in the north.

The camp gate had already been opened, and Shang Kexi saw a man in his thirties who looked like a battalion officer wearing a half-length armor was taking the roll call, "...... Geng whistle team, out of the village! …… Ding Whistle Xin team, out of the village! ……”

With the sound of his command, squares lined up neatly and neatly at the camp gate came out, shouting the slogan of "one, two, one", and the fish passed through the camp gate with neat steps.

Shang Kexi couldn't help but be amazed, such a strict queue, not to mention his own family, even Mao Shuai's hundreds of elite family members were afraid that they couldn't be discharged, let alone step on a neat pace.

After watching it for a while, Shang Kexi climbed the wall of the village and looked outside, and the scene outside the camp made him feel even more emotional.

In the brighter and brighter skylight, a few large cauldrons were propped up on the withered yellow grass, boiling rice porridge, and several huge bamboo baskets next to the rice porridge were full of snow-white steamed buns; A few men were busy sorting the steamed buns into the bamboo baskets on the small cart, and at the same time scooping the white rice porridge into the big clay jar on the cart with a large wooden spoon; Every time a cart is loaded, someone pushes it to each team.

The process of distributing the food is orderly: when the trolley comes by. The soldier sitting on the ground raised a wooden bowl to hold the porridge, and after taking the steamed bun, he munched on the pickles; Those who had not yet received the food or had already finished eating all lowered their heads and wiped the firecrackers in their hands, looking as if they were engrossed.

On the grass of hundreds of people, there was no noise except for the sound of chewing, which made Shang Kexi hard to believe that this was the scene of the army eating in front of him.

Eyes rolled. He finally saw a familiar scene: a hundred paces away, those Korean herdsmen were also eating breakfast, which was called chaos compared to the side of the Fuliao army.

Before the cart was pushed to the front, a group of people swarmed around, honestly waiting for the man to scoop the porridge, and the dishonest simply stretched the wooden bowl into the clay jar and scooped it himself; Steamed bread and pickles are also grabbed, and those who are fast grab two or three and stuff them into their arms, those who are weaker. I can only be squeezed aside and watch.

This is the scene of eating in the army that Shang Kexi is accustomed to--his men on Hirokashima are much more ruthless than this, and there are those who are in a hurry to use their knives!

The chaos didn't last long, and there were soldiers here to maintain order, and it took a long time to make the North Koreans reluctantly line up a crooked long line, and go to the cart in turn to receive food.

"Squeak~~Squeak~~"

He was looking at it, and there was a tooth-aching sound when the axle was turning, and Shang Kexi turned his face to look at it. I saw several carts being pulled out of the camp gate.

There was no cover on the cart, and it was all "threads" coiled in a circle -- Shang Kexi pondered from the bottom of his heart. Could this be the barbed wire in the mouth of the little radish head? Just this simple and inconspicuous "line" can defend against heavy cavalry?

He was still wondering, and the eight-ox crossbow that came out at the end and the two horse-drawn Franco cannons shook him up again - this was a good thing that Mao Shuai and even the entire Dongjiang Town dreamed of, but it was a pity that their tight salary was not enough to even eat enough, so these things could only be thought about.

"All of them have ~ stand up!" "Stand upright! Count! "One, two, three...... Sixteen! ”……

As the cart left the village and was placed, the grass soon sounded one after another with the sound of passwords and harmonies. Shang Kexi saw that the small phalanx of forty or fifty people moved one after another, and the soldiers adjusted the line step by step, which made him feel extremely fresh.

At the same time, several people who had been gathering around Chu Fan to discuss something also got on the horse, among which was the young man with a big waist and a round body. At first glance, he was a master—his mount had two shovels on the left and right on the buttocks, and a two-stone bow, and from the way he controlled his horse, he was extremely proficient.

The young man and another middle-aged man, who seemed to be unable to harvest at night, led some people to gallop to the Korean herdsmen on the left and right flanks, and began to form a team.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shang Kexi got down from the wall, got on his mount and walked out of the gate, and went straight to Chu Fan and said, "Brother Yixian, I want to watch the battle with the army, and I still want to give it to you." ”

Chu Fan nodded and smiled, "I don't dare to ask for it...... Brother Yuanji is a major general of the Dongjiang River, and he is willing to escort the Liao army for me, but he can't ask for it...... Please Brother Yuanji follow behind the brigade and strengthen my prestige! ”

Shang Ke was happy to see him arrange it like this, naturally he was worried about his own safety on the battle array, and he was also quite moved in his heart, and said with a faint smile, "Brother Yixian just rest assured, I am happy to fight Han Er, naturally I know the severity, I am far behind the team, and see how Brother Yixian kills the captives!" ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and came to the back of the brigade of foot soldiers, and watched quietly.

"Woo~~"

The low horn sounded first from the left wing, and then the horn from the right wing also sounded, and the trumpeters beside Chu Fan responded one by one with a bull's horn; The standard-bearer erected a big flag at this time, and Shang Kexi saw that the three strong big characters "Fuliao Army" on the bright red silk surface, followed by the three whistle flags of the T-character, Geng-character, and Gui-character were also erected.

After a long trumpet, the sentry posts marched towards the west one by one, in small formations; The Koreans on both flanks also began to move, and there were more than 300 horsemen on each side, although there was some chaos, but the momentum seemed quite huge.

Shang Kexi followed behind the infantry team slowly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Although he is only 25 years old, he is really experienced in a hundred battles, and the title of deputy general of Hirokashima is a solid fight!

Therefore, he only needs to look at a few glances to tell the strength of an army - the strictness and strength of this army in front of him are unprecedented to him!

From the march alone, he could conclude that the entire Dongjiang Town, oh no, the entire Guanning Theater, no army could catch up!

In terms of strict formation alone, even the elite of the Tartars, the Swinging Tooth Army, is inferior to this army!

Is Chu Fan really just a little showman? How did you train such a strong soldier silently? Shang Kexi was puzzled.

Looking at the flying banner of hunting in the autumn wind, the doubt in his heart turned into a surprise again.

Revenge Liao Army!

Looking at this banner, you know that Chu Fan wants to recover Liaodong! What a big breath!

If others played this flag, they would definitely be mercilessly ridiculed by Adjutant General Guanglu; But Chu Fan is different, the strict military column in front of him proves that he has this strength!

In the midst of his thoughts, the horn sounded again.

The heavy armored cavalry of the Liu family has appeared again! (To be continued.) )
