Chapter 192: Denglai Gathers Troops
Two days later, Jing Haiwei quickly flew a report, commanded the gathering of troops, and ordered the Acropolis to assemble two days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Lie was dazed and ignorant, what happened on the road, there are only more than 100 guards in the Qianhu Institute now, and there are 500 soldiers who have no combat formation experience, if it is to aid Liaodong, it is a meat bun and a dog, I believe that someone Chang will not let him go, fortunately, Du Li gave the answer in the evening, Laiyang smelled the fragrance and taught 10,000 people to riot, Laiyang is Denglai's territory, so Denglai's general soldier Zhang Keda gathered troops to suppress.
Zhao Lie ordered the thousands of households to gather troops, this is also Zhao Lie's first expedition to the thousands of households, the entire thousand households were busy, according to the order, with the cooperation of Li Mingyu and other thousands of households, more than 30 carts, more than 60 mules and horses, 30 stone grains, as well as gunpowder, camp tents and other baggage preparations, at the end of the second day, all the soldiers gathered in Chishan.
"My lord, there are too few recruits this time, so it's better to be safe, and gather Jeju people as the top." Li Mingyu said that he was still worried that there were too few people, and he was deeply afraid of endangering Zhao Lie's safety.
"Mr. Li rest assured, this time it is Dengzhou General Zhang's troops gathering, and several guards in Denglai, as well as Denglai soldiers, will go into battle, and the military households of the guards are in the role of starting the battle, it doesn't matter." Zhao Lie said with a smile.
This time they are all chaotic people, I believe that the soldiers will definitely move forward bravely, this is a lot of opportunities to make meritorious contributions, how can you let it go, after this door, is it to find Jiannu to ask for war merits, that is, to find death.
"My lord, even the Denglai soldiers are mostly unbattled, and the guards are even weaker." Li Mingyu shook his head and sighed, he knew the details of Denglai, and he was quite unoptimistic.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, I won't fight to the end if something goes wrong, after all, there are still a large number of people in Jeju and Beihua who still need me to plan." Zhao Lie said.
"This is very good, the soldiers are in danger, adults take care." Li Mingyu said. Li Mingyu now hopes that Zhao Lie will take care of himself. He just wanted to see how far Zhao Lie could reach in the future.
Zhao Lie returned the salute and went out, and under the send-off of Alexandra and Li Mingyu and others, he set off with Zhao Da, Yu Dabao, Zhu Ying, and more than 100 guards under the command of 400 soldiers, this time Zhao Lie left 100 soldiers to guard Chishan.
Two days later, when Zhao Lie came to the Jinghai Acropolis, he saw nearly a thousand soldiers outside the north gate of the Acropolis standing in the cold wind, and saw that most of them were in rags. The big red fat jackets have lost their color, and some even reveal the yellow and black cotton wool inside.
The weapons in their hands were uneven, many of them were rusty, and Zhao Lie even found some grandfather soldiers with gray beards and thin baby soldiers in the army.
Zhao Lie also grinned, there are no surprises in the world of the Ming Dynasty, it is not bad for such soldiers to be able to take care of the home, it is wishful thinking to expect them to defend themselves against the enemy.
Zhao Lie arranged for Zhao Da to take charge of the troops, and he entered the Acropolis surrounded by Yu Dabao, Du Li and more than 30 guards.
When Zhao Lie entered the hall of the official office. I saw that the other four thousand households were waiting outside the door, and several people greeted them with a smile, since Zhao Lie agreed to contribute, several people got along well with Zhao Lie, and the little Zhao Thousand households were righteous and wealthy, and they could be handed over.
After a meal, Zhao Lie and others were called into the hall, only to see Chang Runing in the upper seat. Wu Hai and others accompanied.
After a few people knelt down, Chang Runing said. "This time the remnants of the Xiangxiang Sect made a rebellion in Laiyang and Fuyuan, and Lord Zhang, the commander of Denglai, and the commander of Lord Yu ordered the guards of Denglai to gather troops to suppress it.
Several thousands of households agreed with a bang.
From beginning to end, Lord Chang treated Zhao Lie as an air and completely ignored it. Zhao Lie is also happy, none of us is the best.
At noon, the soldiers outside the city had a meal, and after reporting a meal, all the soldiers started to pull.
When Chang Runing led more than 300 guards to the outside of the city, he saw the appearance of a group of soldiers. The nose is almost crooked, although the guard is decadent, but this appearance is too miserable, now it is a war, not to seek sympathy and ask for military salaries, look, in addition to the thirty or forty families of each thousand households, it is a beggar assembly.
Chang Runing scolded a few thousand households for a dog blood spray,
"My lord, there are more than ten years of arrears in the guard, and we are also unable to change the soldiers' robes and armor, I hope your Excellency will be aware of it." When scolding Tang Rong, Tang Rong replied with a stalk around his neck.
"It's just the armor, how can the old and weak go into battle, you should go out to practice this time, this time you go into battle to kill the enemy. Beware of losing your life and losing your official position. Chang Runing gritted his teeth and scolded. This Tang Rong relied on his uncle to command Tongzhi and did not give him face, and at this time Chang Runing took the opportunity to reprimand.
"My lord, now that the soldiers' salaries are in arrears, and most of the military households have fled, it is already the best of my subordinates to lead hundreds of soldiers to help, my lord." Tang Rong knelt down and shouted grievances.
Chang Runing was so angry that he almost fell off the horse, and he couldn't punish Tang Rong seriously, after all, he was the nephew of the top boss, so he had to turn the horse away.
When he came to Zhao Lie's soldiers, he was deeply shocked, a few days ago he went to Chishan not to see Zhao Lie's soldiers, but at that time Zhao Lie's soldiers were wearing red fat jackets, today's expedition, Zhao Lie's soldiers are all wearing dark iron armor, wearing iron helmets, and even face armor, like a small cluster of black and red woods standing there, motionless like a mountain.
Chang Runing glanced at Zhao Lie deeply and said nothing. is deeply jealous in his heart, this person or the Zhao family is really willing to invest in the family, it seems that the Zhao family's force must be extremely strong and difficult to deal with.
Under Chang Runing's order, more than 1,500 soldiers of Jinghaiwei were drawn out, and the Dengzhou army ordered the commanders of all guards to arrive at Qixia County in the northeast of Laiyang County within seven days to gather troops, and Zhang Keda, the chief soldier, ordered to enter and suppress them, so Jinghai Guards immediately marched to Qixia County.
The team walked out of ten miles, and the collapse of Chang Runing happened, the team changed from a relatively neat beginning, to several long snake formations intermittently, and many military households began to be unable to keep up with the team because of the old and young or because of their frailty, so Chang Runing had to order the team to slow down.
There is only one exception here, the hundreds of soldiers of Zhao Lie's own team walked in unison, without crying or stagnating, still retaining the appearance of the beginning, the spear was erected, and the upper shoulders of the fire guns moved neatly, like a silent moving wood, extremely dazzling in the chaos, so that Chang Runing could not ignore it.
Don't forget, they marched in full armor, and the other soldiers didn't even have cotton armor. No one in Zhao Lie's department weighed dozens of catties more, and Zhao Lie's army was extremely neat, while the other thousands of military households saw the queue fall in all directions, which was really fucking incomparable.
Li Hui took out a water bag and drank a few sips of water, took out a cotton cloth to wipe his sweat, and let out a sigh of relief. He didn't feel too tired, this speed was far less than the marching speed of the thousand households, that is, half the speed at that time, he was just sweating a little, he looked at the other soldiers sitting on the ground around him to rest, at this time the soldiers all lifted their masks, their faces were extremely calm, most of them drank water and rested, it seemed that this little distance was nothing. Li Hui muttered.
"Brother Hui, how are you tired?" The second fat of Uncle Guo's family on the side asked.
"I'm not tired, this little distance is far away, how can we be tired when we practice." Li Hui shook his head.
"It's like, if I walk so slowly during the exercise, I'll be blessed." Guo Erpang said with a smile.
"It's okay, when you become the commander, just let me wait to slow down." Li Hui said with a smile.
"Alas. Brother Hui, don't make trouble, I will be satisfied if I can be a hundred. Didn't think that far. The second fat replied with a salivating face.
"Yo he, Er Fat really wants to be a hundred presidents, yes, much better than your Brother Li." Li Hui said with a smile.
"Brother Hui, don't laugh at me, Brother Hui is now long, and Mr. Bai will definitely be able to become a 。。。。。 in the future."
"Up." An order was given. The soldiers finished their tea rest, got up and continued their march.
Chang Runing saw Zhao Liebing's behavior clearly, after all, he was riding on a horse, condescending, the more he looked closely, the more frightened he became, and the excellent armor could only show that the Zhao family had strong financial resources. And the purge of this half-day march shows that these soldiers have been carefully trained.
These 400 soldiers are the most elite Ming army he has ever seen, and the soldiers of the two battalions of Denglai are far inferior, and the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion have not been trained for a long time due to serious salary arrears, not to mention, the biggest question now is whether they can survive the battle formation, if they go through the battle formation and do not collapse, it is the top elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhao family really has a hand in training.
At dinner, the team was only more than ten miles away from the Acropolis, so that more than 100 soldiers were left behind, and even two veterans died of exhaustion on the road.
Chang Runing threw the horsewhip on the ground angrily when he heard this, this fucking is also a soldier of the Ming Guard, which is inferior to the homeless, and he can die of exhaustion in just ten miles.
The team began to set up camp, after all, it was cold on a winter night, and if you want to avoid being sinned at night, the camp must be prepared, which is a truth that the old soldiers understand.
After setting up the camp, Chang Runing saw that he was depressed again, and the camp tents of Zhao Lie's department were temporarily new and heavy, dwarfing the tattered and thin camp tents of the other thousand households, which made Chang Runing extremely uncomfortable.
Nima, even the camp tent of the Acropolis is much inferior, how much money does your old Zhao family spend on the small army prepared by Qianhu, Zhao Haiming must be a big greedy sailor, or a big smuggling maritime businessman, Chang Runing was in his heart for a while, and his heart was a little better.
At dinner, when the battalions were gnawing on the hard noodles and black cakes in the snow water, there were bursts of aroma wafting from Zhao Lie's camp, so that the soldiers in other battalions smelled the aroma and were really salivating, Tang Rong, Wang Geng, Fan Youlu, Ma Youjun and others came to Zhao Lie's camp one after another, only to see the soldiers drinking small dried fish and sea vegetable soup, eating large pieces of salted fish meat, and nibbling on black flour cakes.
"Brother, my brothers are here today," Fan Youlu said as he gulped down the fish soup, this hot soup was really warm to drink, especially in this ice and snow, it was really a supreme enjoyment. It is not the same as the noodle soup that he just drank in his own camp.
"It's a trivial matter, a few brothers will come here every day in the future, and I still have this bit of rice and grain." Zhao Lie said with a smile.
"This big yellow croaker has few bones," Tang Rong chewed on the fish, "I said, my brother is bold, brother, I'm not welcome, I will go to your camp every day to fire, and I have to bring the deputy thousand households of my thousand households, otherwise this old boy will definitely have to complain about me." ”
"Look at Old Tang's bear-like appearance, he has to bring people from outside to eat at home, it's really fucking justified." Ma Youjun smiled obscenely.
A few laughed and scolded while eating.
"My lord, several thousand households are all in Zhao Lie's camp." One of his subordinates whispered in Chang Runing's ear.
Chang Runing, who had always been very concerned about Zhao Lie's whereabouts, ordered several family members to pay attention to Zhao Lie's behavior at all times. Now Chang Runing has got this answer, which makes him angry, and they are all mixed up, is this the commander of the isolated body, what a big dog, Chang Runing has no appetite for the knife-cut noodles specially made for him by the firefighters in front of him, Zhao Lie, let's see.
