Chapter 11: Changes in the Cavalry

The autumn wind is bleak, the leaves of some trees around the Gyeongju military camp have withered and yellowed, and they are crumbling on the branches, and the huge Gyeongju military flag on the flagpole of the Gyeongju military camp is shaking against the autumn wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info/。 qВ5, \ tow, under the flagpole, the remaining Gyeongju sergeants stood vigilantly on the city wall.

At the foot of Hengduan Mountain, Zhao Lei was dressed in a light cavalry light armor modified from a foot armor, riding on a war horse, looking at the Gyeongju Army infantry in front of him who was trained in heavy armor.

"Quick! I haven't eaten! I want to run the last place and go back to Jiajing Station! Hurry! General Zhao watched from behind, and he promised everyone that the first ten would add vegetables tonight, and the live sheep that had just been bought from the Qiang people, whoever ran first would have roasted whole sheep tonight! Tang Jie's leather whip was whipped on the armor of the last soldier in the group, and he said loudly to the soldiers marching in front.

The Gyeongju soldiers, who had just slowed down on the march, heard Tang Jie's words, thinking about the aroma of the roast pork leg that the first few people had eaten in the training last night, and immediately felt like drooling, and his already tired body was immediately full of strength, and he ran towards the front with speed.

With the morale and combat effectiveness of the Gyeongju army that had begun to recover, Zhao Lei, who was riding on the war horse at the end of the marching team, nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Lei's side, Zhao Ming and Fan Quan, two Qiang people, are standing behind him, these two have officially joined the Gyeongju Army in order to take revenge, although they are only the lowest-level soldiers, but they serve as Zhao Lei's personal guards.

Zhao Ming and Fan Quan are typical Qiang people, they are brave and fearless, strong and aggressive, and they are very good, and they are only behind Yang Wenguang, Di Qing and Zhu Dali in the Gyeongju army. Much better than Tang Jie and others.

"General! The cavalry battalion has been out for ten days, and today is the time to return to the barracks, are we going back to General Yang! Zhao Ming said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

"Ten days! Why hasn't it rained yet? Could it be that history deceives people, no, there will definitely be heavy rain, it is estimated that the heavy rain will appear in the next few days! Zhao Lei ignored Zhao Ming's words. Looking up at the gray sky, he muttered.

"General!" Zhao Ming looked at Zhao Lei who was muttering to himself, and said carefully.

"Back to the barracks!" Zhao Lei reflected at this time, looked at the two thousand five hundred Qingzhou foot soldiers who were gradually moving away, and turned his head to Zhao Ming and said.

……

On the square of the Gyeongju barracks, five hundred soldiers moved huge stones on the square with sad faces, and their bodies were wearing sandbags of sizes customized by Yang Wenguang from Gyeongju City, and the weight of these sandbags was comparable to the heavy armor of a foot man. These people, like fools, moved stones from one end of the square to the other.

On the stone platform next to the square, Yang Jinhua and Xiao Ruoruo followed the example of Zhao Lei and others, holding leather whips and standing proudly on the stone platform.

"You! Hurry up and move things! Deliver supplies slower when fighting. It is possible to put my Great Song soldiers in danger, so we must be quick and accurate! Yang Jinhua pointed at a slow soldier and said in a loud voice.

Yang Jinhua's words made the left-behind soldiers in the barracks secretly laugh, and the ground servants in the square. The already sad face became even more bitter.

Syllable! With a heavy sound, the leather whip in Xiao Ruoruo's hand had a close contact with a lazy servant. Pumping the servants, wah, wow, wow, wow, wow

"I'm actually lazy under my aunt's nose, I don't want to live anymore!" Xiao Ruoruo was as fierce as a tigress and yelled at the lazy servants.

"Lord Yang! Lord Xiao! Lord Zhao is back. The gatekeeper said loudly to Yang Jinhua and Xiao Ruoruo at this time.

"Brother Zhao Lei is back." After Yang Jinhua finished speaking in surprise, she pulled Xiao Ruoruo towards the city gate.

"Keep training, don't be lazy!" Xiao Ruoruo did not forget to warn those soldiers loudly when he left.

"Lord Zhao is back!" The soldier in charge of guarding the city gate said respectfully to Zhao Lei, who rode into the barracks, that the original blue and black scars on the soldier's face had disappeared, leaving only potholed scars.

"Is General Yang back?" Zhao Lei asked indifferently to the guards guarding the city.

"Returning to your lordship! General Yang has not returned. However, someone sent a copy of the military intelligence report, which has been placed at the command post. The guard replied respectfully.

"Military Intelligence Mansion!" Zhao Lei said stunned.

"Lord Zhao! You're back. Yang Jinhua walked to Zhao Lei's side at this time and said sweetly.

"You're back, how are you training your soldiers?" Zhao Lei looked at the cute and lovely Yang Jinhua and asked dotingly.

"That's good! Under our training, those soldiers are much stronger than before, and their weight, degree, and proficiency have increased a lot. Yang Jinhua said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

"That's good, you can continue to train the soldiers! I went to the command post to report to the military intelligence office. After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he turned around and left and walked towards the command post.

"Let's go together and see what news the imperial court has sent!" Xiao Ruoruo was also annoyed in the square, so she followed Zhao Lei and walked towards the command post, leaving Yang Jinhua to continue to stay in the square to train the soldiers.

Zhao Lei and Xiao Ruoruo walked all the way towards the command post, and there were soldiers left behind on the road who greeted Zhao Lei respectfully, it seems that Zhao Lei spent 60,000 yuan to remove the thorns on the soldiers' faces, which is still a very cost-effective thing.

……

In the command post, Zhao Lei took the military intelligence report sent and looked at it carefully, and Xiao Ruoruo next to him was curiously playing with the sword that Yang Wenguang gave to Zhao Lei.

"What did you say in the newspaper?" Xiao Ruoruo held the sword in his hand, looked at Zhao Lei and asked.

Zhao Lei looked at Xiao Ruoruo's unsheathed sword pointing at him, the ghostly and shining blade was chilling, and hurriedly said to her: "Ruoruo! It's okay not to face me at Jianfeng, so close, I want to murder you and me! ”

"Whose official are you? Don't be ashamed! Xiao Ruoruo heard Zhao Lei's words, and a trace of blush floated on her pretty face like a flower, and she said shyly. As he spoke, he returned the sword to its sheath.

"I'm Xiao Ruoruo's official! Don't forget that your father handed you over to me, and you agreed to marry me, I am not your official, who is! Zhao Lei said to Xiao Ruoruo with a smile.

"Nasty! I won't tell you. Xiao Ruoruo was even more shy, stomped her foot and turned her head to Zhao Lei.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the news in the newspaper! Yuan Hao sent troops to fight. After Sunuer was defeated and captured, Yuan Hao was furious, gathered 100,000 elite soldiers, and personally commanded the attack on the frontier city of Maoniucheng against the Western Xia, Maoniucheng had 50,000 soldiers, relying on the city wall, tenaciously defending the attack of Western Xia Yuanhao, Western Xia Yuanhao has besieged Maoniucheng for nearly half a month, suffered heavy losses, and still did not conquer Maoniucheng. Now it's a bitter battle. Zhao Lei looked at Xiao Ruoruo and said with a smile.

"The war between Xixia and Western Xia, what are you smiling so happily for?" Xiao Ruoruo looked at Zhao Lei and smiled happily and asked suspiciously.

"In fact, it doesn't matter who wins or loses this war, it's a nomadic people, even if the war is lost. It's a big deal that they just move away, and what I want to see most now is that the war and the Western Xia are in a bitter war, and the longer the war drags on, the better, so that the losses of the Western Xia will be greater. It is more beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"I see! I don't know how my father is in Western Xia, I used to be able to receive the news of my father's safety in Bianjing, but now I can't hear from my father when I come to Gyeongju. It's because I'm thinking about him! Xiao Ruoruo looked in the direction of Northwest Xixia and muttered to herself.

"Don't worry! Uncle Xiao didn't have anything to do in the Liao State before going deep behind enemy lines, and Western Xia was far worse than the Liao State, so there would definitely be nothing wrong. Seeing that Xiao Ruoruo's eyes began to turn red, Zhao Lei immediately comforted him.

At this moment, Zhao Lei and Xiao Ruoruo suddenly heard the sound of heavy and neat horses' hooves, and it seemed that Yang Wenguang had returned from training with the cavalry battalion.

Yang Wenguang's training this time was carefully prepared by Yang Wenguang, Zhao Lei and others, and they rushed to Linzhou in Sanbian within ten days. Then he returned to the Gyeongju barracks, and marched nearly 2,000 miles in ten days, which was a very challenging training for the Gyeongju Army cavalry battalion, which had no logistical support.

Zhao Lei, Yang Jinhua, and Xiao Ruoruo came to the city gate to greet Yang Wenguang, and as soon as they saw Yang Wenguang, they immediately burst out laughing.

In the city gate, five hundred cavalry were rushing into the barracks, and Yang Wenguang, who was in the lead, couldn't help but laugh in disgrace.

Yang Wenguang's face was covered with dust, and there were a few dead grasses on his head, and his body was also covered by dust, and there were some wounds and blood stains on his armor.

Scars and bloodstains! Did you run into the Tangut people? When Zhao Lei and the sisters in the army saw these things, not only did they not laugh, but they looked solemn.

At this time, Zhao Lei saw the five hundred cavalry behind Yang Wenguang, these five hundred cavalry were all gray and scarred, and some of the cavalry were seriously injured, and they had to rely on ropes to tie them to the back of their horses to come back.

But to Zhao Lei's surprise, the expression of these five hundred cavalry is very different from when they came out, if they are like proud roosters when they come out, beautiful on the outside but no strength on the inside, but now the cavalry looks like a small eagle that has just stepped into the blue sky, although it is young, but it already has sharp claws, as long as it experiences wind and rain, it can transform into an eagle fighting the blue sky.

"General Yang! What have you encountered, and how has their mental outlook changed so much? Looking at the sharp and fierce eyes of the cavalry, Zhao Lei asked Yang Wenguang in surprise.

"Nothing! We met a group of steppe wolves in Linzhou, and we were accidentally surrounded, and after we eliminated those steppe wolves, we became what we are now. Yang Wenguang said lightly, but his flat tone made Zhao Lei feel the danger after encountering the wolves.

"Something doesn't seem right! Is there a loss? Those cavalry don't seem to be five hundred, huh? Yang Jinhua looked at the cavalry who entered the barracks and said in shock.

"Not bad! Some guys fell off their horses in fright when they saw the wolves, and some people vomited in fear when they saw the blood, and they also fell off their horses and were eaten by the wolves, but those people are the most unsuitable soldiers for cavalry, and if they die, they will die! Yang Wenguang said with a sneer.

"How many died?" Zhao Lei asked in surprise.

"Forty-six!" Yang Wenguang replied expressionlessly.

So many deaths! Zhao Lei, Yang Jinhua and Xiao Ruoruo thought of it in surprise at the same time.
