Looking at the group of routs encircled at the gate of the camp, Li Chu got an answer that made people laugh and cry.
"Lord Commander, our battalion has not been defeated, the whole battalion has been wiped out, and only a few of us are left."
"Yes, our battalion is about the same, there are more than 400 in the battalion, and now there are more than 20 left, please take us in."
"Commander, your soldiers are the bravest, we want to join your army, fight the Tanguts together, and avenge the death of my brothers."
"Commander, we are all soldiers of the Western Army, all of us are brave in battle, please ask the commander to let us join."
Li Chu raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop and be quiet. This group of defeated soldiers wanted to join the Qilin Army, and Li Chu also wanted to accept them in his heart, but there was one more important thing, that is, what was the situation in the north.
When Fang was discussing in the city, there was not a lot of information in the city, and more specific news had to fall on this group of defeated soldiers.
When Li Chu asked about this, everyone said everything about the situation in the north, and Li Chu had a detailed understanding after hearing it.
In the northern defense line of Yan'an, there are more than 10,000 forbidden troops stationed here, most of which are stationed along the vicinity of the Great Wall Ridge, because this has always been the entrance where the Tanguts most often attack the Song Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this time the Tangut people attacked the west, bypassing the endless Baiganshan Mountain Range, forcibly crossing the mountains and mountains to assault Yan'an, and as a result, the Great Wall Ridge was attacked inside and outside, which led to the loss of the Great Wall Ridge and a large number of Tangut people entered Yan'an.
According to him, the group of forbidden troops stationed in the Great Wall Ridge was almost wiped out, and most of this group of defeated troops came from Ansai and Pingrong, and fought and retreated in the attack of the Tanguts, some were divided and lost contact with the large army, and some were wiped out, and then chased to this side by this group of Xixia people.
As for the reason for asking to join the Qilin Army, the above shouting is one thing, more importantly, they are all forbidden troops in the north, and in the area of Yan'an Prefecture, Li Chu's military rank is the highest in the military system, and the other four roads are the Xiang Army, they will not beg to go, and the other two battalions are battalion commanders, one is that they have no authority, and the other is also the pride in their hearts, looking down on this group of people stationed in the mainland to enjoy a peaceful life.
In addition, the Qilin Army took the initiative to attack the Western Xia people and saved their lives. Then they heard the good news of the Qilin Army's total annihilation of the Western Xia people, and thought that the Qilin Army was the place where they could take revenge or make meritorious contributions, and the equipment of the Qilin Army also made everyone envious.
This Commander Li is definitely a good general who loves soldiers like a son, otherwise he would not have spent so much money to equip his subordinates with such good equipment and weapons, which is much stronger than in their original forbidden army.
And Li Chu naturally welcomes them to join.
It's a bunch of veterans.
Being able to survive the battle with the Tangut people is a strength in itself, not to mention the Western army that lives on the northwest border all the year round and fights with the Tangut all year round.
As for the rout, it doesn't hurt, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to escape, it doesn't matter much, in this military system, many soldiers who have been disabled on the battlefield and retreated have joined the new barracks to fight again.
What Li Chu's current army lacks is this kind of veteran who has been fighting all year round. His subordinates, whether they are the Qilin Army, the Junshui Army, or the Rapid Reaction Force, still belong to the New Army, and the Rapid Reaction Force is a bit special, most of them are the first batch of soldiers to follow Li Chu, and they have also experienced a lot of battles, so they can barely be regarded as soldiers.
But the group in Rufen Town is different, there are more than 3,000 soldiers who have not been trained on the battlefield on the south camp of Jiangdian Town, and this time Shi Tianyi took the initiative to issue a recruitment order, and recruited another 3,000 people, so far, the number of all the soldiers in Li Chu has added up, there are more than 8,000 people.
The number of the routs was counted, six hundred and sixty-six.
666, that's a bit of a 6.
In this group of defeated troops, the highest-ranking military commander was a captain who also served as a hundred generals, and the higher-level battalion commanders were all killed in battle.
Immediately, Li Chu mixed all this group of defeated troops into a reinforced battalion, appointed Ding Wu as the battalion commander, and the 100-man general as the deputy commander.
This battalion was temporarily placed under the name of the Kirin Army.
The veteran of six hundred and sixty-six has picked up a treasure this time.
Ding Wu was flattered, and then followed Li Chu out twice, which directly served as the commander of the battalion, which was unthinkable before, and had quietly followed Peng Ju to the town to play before, he was particularly envious of those conductors, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he had already sat in this position.
Although it was incorporated into the name of the Qilin Army, it can't just be let go like this.
In addition, it is now in wartime, and it is needed at any time, but it is not easy to directly issue such sophisticated equipment and weapons as soon as Li Chu is recruited.
So Li Xuan was appointed as the instructor captain of this battalion, responsible for training and running in this veteran new army.
Li Chu went into the city with the latest news to find He Zhizhou.
After absorbing this group of defeated soldiers, I unexpectedly got a piece of good news.
30,000 Xixia people poured into Yan'an Mansion, although the slogan was 30,000, the actual number should be about 25,000, plus the battles along the way, the Tangut people also died a lot, and the northern part of Yan'an was not completely lost, this group of Xixia people did not choose to occupy a large area, but like a sharp sword across Yan'an.
On the road from the Great Wall Ridge to Yan'an, there were many remnants of the Western Army attacking and harassing the Western Xia people from time to time.
Therefore, it is estimated that there will not be too many Western Xia people who can go to Yan'an Mansion, and there will be no more than 7,000 people at most.
Seven thousand!
If it is 7,000 people, plus the Xixia people are not good at attacking fortifications, at least most of the Xixia soldiers are like this, they can use the Fushi City to defend with high strength, and then wait for the reinforcements of the Western Army, when the reinforcements arrive, the Xixia people will naturally retreat.
As soon as the Western Xia people retreated, the safety of Fushi City was over.
On the morning of the second day, He Zhizhou invited Li Chu and others to come to Fucheng to discuss matters, although it was a discussion, it was actually a banquet for everyone to eat and drink, and to thank everyone for their safety in the city.
Just when He Zhizhou was smiling, a battle report came, but this result shocked everyone.
"Report, there are a large number of Xixia people near Qinghua Town, and the number of people is about more than 5,000 ......."
"What, Qinghua Town."
He Zhizhou sat up in shock, and Li Chu also sat up in shock.
How did this Xixia man go to Qinghua Town.
"It's not good, I'm afraid the purpose of this Xixia people is not in this Fushi City, He Zhizhou, Li is going to leave, and the Qilin Army will also withdraw from Fushi City."
Li Chu immediately got up and said goodbye to He Zhizhou, this time the Xixia people only sent less than 2,000 people to rush the army to attack Fushi City, but more than 5,000 ran to Qinghua Town, he had a very uneasy premonition.
This city can't stay here anymore.
