Chapter 605: Raven Soldier Star Array (I)
"The Han people are really rich, especially the Jingbian army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The short and sturdy Gallard and Tabu Sang were gobbling up braised mutton, and the aroma of meat spread, making the two of them sigh wildly while eating.
Good fat sheep, or braised sheep, on the grassland on weekdays, where have you ever eaten such high-quality food? Even if the Naadam Festival is just like a roasted sheep, the taste is not to be talked about, and on weekdays, it is more to milk tea, dairy products, wheat noodles, fried rice, etc.
The impression of the world is that the grassland people roast whole sheep at every turn, but in fact, killing sheep and eating them is a big deal.
Just like the people of the Central Plains who kill pigs on festivals, they all have seasonal requirements, and they need to be killed when the sheep are the fattest, otherwise they will kill chickens and take eggs, no matter how many sheep there are, they will not be enough to eat.
Even the head of the tribe cannot eat cattle and sheep often, and if the landlord of the Central Plains cannot eat white noodles every day.
"Hahahaha......"
The murmuring nonsense continued, and beside Galed and Tabuang, there were all Mongolians with "Huhele" hairstyle, everyone laughed and laughed, eating meat and eating, while gulping salty milk tea.
Although the tea is not good, it is just made of green brick tea or black brick tea, but these Mongolians have been satisfied.
Tea is the life of the grassland people, and it is not okay not to drink tea for a day.
And the big vat of vegetables also made these Mongolians happy.
Why would they rather have one meal a day and tea three times a day? It is because of the lack of vegetables in the steppe, and vegetables. It is expensive on the steppe, and on weekdays, only the heads of large tribes can enjoy it.
"Gallard, this time I must cut off the heads of a few Tumut barbarians and make a military achievement."
Tabu Sang grunted as he drank milk tea and said to Gallard.
"Well, the merit must be established, but the sword and arrow have no eyes, be careful, I don't want Adu to have no man in the future."
Gallard will be calmer. Said solemnly.
Tabu sac in the tribe. is an outstanding warrior, who grew up with his sister since he was a child, and in the words of the Han people, he is a childhood sweetheart. To the two together. Gallard was in favor.
He has plans for himself. I hope to make military achievements, become a Yi, and divide the grassland. After that, the family's life will be guaranteed.
He silently took out his weapon and wiped it, his equipment was a pair of ancestral willow leaf armor, a meniscus knife, a horn bow, a spear, equipped with a hook to pull the opposing cavalry off the horse, and two horses, one for the main horse, and one to carry some baggage.
The tabu bag is similar, but the armor is a pair of Luo ring armor, the same as the willow leaf armor, all made of cooked cowhide, the surface is decorated with iron sheets, there are mottled traces of time on it, it seems, there is a faint smell, after all, leather armor is made of dung tanning.
These leather armors are thick and decorated with iron plates, which have good protection against bows and arrows and sword slashes, of course, if they encounter stabbing attacks such as swords and spears, it will not be of much use.
In addition to the horned bow and horse weapons, Tabu Sang had an axe and a hammer, and he was strong enough to use these heavy weapons.
Looking at the Mongols in this area, there are fewer equipped with Galed and Tabu Bags, and occasionally they see a pair of willow leaf armor or Luo Huan armor, after all, they have more than 200 people, and they do not belong to any big tribe, but they are just a Sumu under the Naiman of the Zhaowuda League.
The whole Naiman Division, 12 Zaran (Counselor), 50 Sumu (Zuo Ling), the leader Gonchuk, the first year of Chongde was crowned the king of Dorodar Han County, for Zasak, on the south bank of the confluence of the Huang River and the Laoha River, with a width of 95 li, 220 li of pastureland.
However, last year, the Jingbian army went out of the fortress, and the Naiman department was hit, and Su Muzhang Jinglu Boluo took the opportunity to break away, and the people of the leading department threw themselves into Wang Dou, because of the absorption of the scattered Naiman herdsmen, and now the population of the Lubo tribe has increased a lot.
However, according to the standards of the Jingbian army, they can only pull out 200 horsemen, with armor, less than 50, many people, but the leather robe is decorated with some iron pieces, like cotton armor, cotton armor used, the earliest is Mongolian.
A glimpse of the whole leopard, the steppe Mongols have declined, no longer the majesty of the year, the Mongols in the Mongol Yuan era, not to mention the armor, but famous for heavy cavalry.
The knights all had thick leather armor, iron armor, chain mail, etc., that is, the horses were covered with iron armor, the shields were also wrapped in metal, and the warriors had copper and iron helmets on their heads.
Because of good protection, the Europeans rained arrows and arrows on their armor, and they would not be seriously injured.
However, for now, even if the equipment is poor, the Mongols such as Galed are still very willing to fight in order to fight for a better life, hoping to make military achievements.
……
"Come on, Brother Han, brother wishes you a smooth trip and a victorious start."
In the big tent, Han Chao, as well as the Xuanwu Army, the general of the middle battalion, Lei Xianbin, the general of the left battalion, Xie Shangbiao, the general of the right battalion, Tian Qiming, the ambassador of the logistics department, Sun Sanjie, the general of the baggage battalion, and Zeng Yiyi, the general of the new attached battalion, were seated.
There was a slight chill outside, but it was warm inside, and on the desk, there was a lot of wine and meat, and everyone ate comfortably.
However, although there is a lot of meat, there is little wine, this is because if you want to go on an expedition, you can't drink too much in military discipline, so people like Lei Xianbin, Xie Shangbiao, and Zeng Yiyi who are good at wine have to mean it.
Qi Tianliang and Han Chao are old acquaintances, and when he and Wang Dou came out of a fire pier, they spoke at this time, and they were very sincere and concerned.
"Thanks to Brother Qi's auspicious words."
Han and North Korea drank it all, and this war on the Western Front can be regarded as his single-handedness, and with his calmness, he is also slightly excited in his heart.
Many years have passed, Qi Tianliang is still so thin and thin, but he has also cultivated his temperament.
Putting down the wine glass, he touched his beard, looked at Han Chao and said slowly: "The battle on the Western Front, the general sees it in his eyes, and the people of Xuanda also see it in his eyes...... Therefore, this battle must be fought well, and the prestige of the Xuanwu Army must be played. ”
Han Chao nodded, he knew that now the generals of the Jingbian Army, in the hearts of the generals, can really be alone, I am afraid that there is only Wen Fangliang, but he will prove himself with facts.
The right battalion general is the official Tian Qiming. Originally Tian Changguo Ding, for so many years, he has been fully integrated into the Jingbian military system, but he still maintains a shrewd and sleek personality.
He said with a smile: "Ambassador Qi's words really make the last general and others feel guilty, but they believe that as long as the grain and grass are continuous, the Xuanwu Army, under the leadership of the captain, will definitely play majestic and imposing." ”
Qi Tianliang laughed. In fact. He can talk to people like Tian Qiming, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, don't say that military discipline is here...... In terms of personal relationships, Lao Qi and I must also fully support Brother Han. The supply of grain and grass. Don't worry about it at all. ”
Tian Qiming hurriedly said: "There are words from Ambassador Qi. The last general will be relieved. ”
Han Chao got up from the case, walked to the huge map hanging by the tent, and looked at it for a long time. Said slowly: "According to the strategy of the General Staff Division, as long as there are five villages along the way, my army on the western front will be equivalent to winning most of them." Captives are harassment, and they can't change the general trend, only a decisive battle with me, a battle, can be decided in the south of the desert! ”
Lei Xianbin and the former Huang Yujin were subordinates of the Han Dynasty very early, and faintly guessed the hidden worries in the heart of the main general, he rubbed his face and said: "The army is out of the fortress, even if there are twists and turns, victory is inevitable, but I am afraid that the Tartars will see that the situation is not good and flee to Mobei." ”
“…… Even if you occupy the naturalization city, you are afraid of repeating the events of the Central Plains, when it is strong, the Tartars avoid the king's division, and even move west to the north, and when it declines, it will come back to the south again and fight with the Central Plains for dozens or hundreds of years. ”
Xie Shangbiao has a rough personality, even if he speaks on weekdays, it is like a roar, he said: "It is impossible to escape, Naturalization City and other Tartars, if you want to escape Mobei, they will flee as early as after the text is sent...... They are reluctant to give up this flowery area in Monan. ”
He said: "Besides, my Jingbian army occupies Guihua City and controls the first line of Monan, what about the Tartars fleeing to Mobei?" Across the desert, chase them and kill them all...... In the future, if you control Mobei, all the Tartars who dare to come in will be killed. ”
Han Chao nodded slightly, Lei Xianbin and Xie Shangbiao also exercised, both of them were rough and detailed, and they had a strategic sense of the overall situation.
The matter of the grassland, this is the case, if the Central Plains has been strong, the Hu people on the grassland have never been a problem, but unfortunately, there is no dynasty that does not decay, the Central Plains power has shrunk, and the Hu people who have been driven away have returned.
However, chatting with Wang Dou on weekdays, Han Chao faintly has a feeling that the current world pattern is different, and if the Hu people are eliminated or driven away this time, they will not be able to come back.
"Don't talk about that," he said. ”
Talking about the baggage with Qi Tianliang and Sun Sanjie, Qi Tianliang said: "Brother Han, according to the strategy ahead, this baggage transportation, in addition to some of Brother Sun's baggage vehicles and horses, your two second-class battalions of the Xuanwu Army must also be transported together, a wheelbarrow in the first class, a flatbed cart in a team, in addition to carrying grain and grass, there are also leather water cans......
"This outside the plug is not as good as the mainland, often walk dozens of miles, hundreds of miles, do not see a drop of water, people and animals do not drink water......"
……
On 3 August, the ROK and the DPRK looked at the large army below, with a clear-cut banner, a strong gun, and a prosperous army.
Every soldier also put on winter clothes at this time, the temperature of this grassland is lower than that in the mouth, and the ultraviolet rays that the general said, it is not okay to wear thin clothes, and there are dense baggage chariots and horses.
Han Chao shouted: "I'm Xuanwu Army." ”
"Mighty!"
"I'm the Xuanwu Army."
"Mighty!"
The soldiers below let out a tsunami-like shout.
"Let's go!"
According to the intelligence department's summary of the spy outside the country, the staff department has drawn up a detailed marching route, and under the guidance of the intelligence department's personnel, the westward expedition army will take the new attached battalion as the vanguard, the two second-class battalions as the middle army, and the Han and the DPRK will bring the middle battalion and the cavalry behind.
On this day, I traveled dozens of miles to the west, but I saw barren mountains and wild grasses all the way, dotted with some shrubs and birch trees, a desolate scenery outside the plug, because the terrain was not very undulating, and it was still easy to carry out with military vehicles.
However, due to the lack of water sources along the way, a lot of drinking water was consumed by the army on this day, especially the horses and mules in the army, and they were even more water drinkers.
On the 4th, the army began to pass through some shallow mountains and valleys, and large dense meadows, deep to the belly of horses, with patches of poplars, birches, and larch, were layered on top of each other in the valley and mountains.
At this time, the weeds are yellow, the yellow leaves of the road are piled up, there are many rat holes, horses are walking on them, and the vehicles are even more difficult to push.
However, there are many magnificent colors in the mountains, and sometimes you can see springs and streams springing up, which can replenish drinking water for the army.
The South Korean and North Koreas are very cautious, these areas are all places where people and horses can be hidden, and the army is in the sentry to expand the search area as much as possible.
The soldiers are also vigilant when they move forward, and the night of the sentry camp is not closed, and information has been transmitted that there are activities of the Tartar cavalry in the area of Daqingshan and Dongyang River. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
