Chapter 41: Weapons and Armor
The wind blew slowly, rolling up the flags in the school yard from time to time, and Chen Kefu rode on top of the green horse and carefully looked at all this in front of him. I left for only a few days, and when I came back again, the camp was still the same broken barracks camp as it had been, but everything felt like it was gone.
When the broken military camp was newly completed, although after the daily drill, His Majesty the Emperor would reward the broken military camp with a lot of good wine and meat, but for all the soldiers in the entire Liaodong battalion, the broken military camp did not impress them, and all this was just luck. The generals at the top looked down on the mere 3,000 men, the officers at the middle and lower levels were more jealous and disdainful, and the soldiers at the bottom were simply red-eyed soldiers who broke the barracks and had good wine and meat to eat every day.
This time he sent troops to Fuyu Dao and achieved such a record, which even Chen Kefu did not expect, until now, standing in this big camp, he still has a feeling of sudden dream. It was still the same broken barracks, but his men and horses had changed from 3,000 to 10,000, and 3,000 were heavy cavalry. Along the way, the eyes of the other soldiers in those camps also made Chen Kefu proud.
In the early morning school grounds, there were 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers standing in front of him in front of him, although compared with all the armies of the expedition to Goryeo, this was only a few tenths. But when these 10,000 people became his own soldiers, looking at the boundless queue, Chen Kefu finally felt a feeling of blood in his veins, this is his own army.
The emperor gave an order, and selected elite soldiers from various armies to expand the broken military camp, although the commanders of the twenty-four armies below were not very happy, but in the end, no one dared to disobey the emperor's will, and the more than 7,000 elite cavalry were transferred to the broken military camp in one day. According to the emperor's meaning, although today's broken military camp is nominally subordinate to Zuo Beishenfu, it is actually an army of its own, especially in this Liaodong battlefield, it does not belong to the jurisdiction of any army of the 24th Army of the Army, and has become an independent army, which is for the emperor's own army.
Chen Kefu rode a horse and watched the scene of the 10,000-person drill carefully with the old man Li Benlei, and Chen Kefu was still very satisfied with these newly transferred soldiers. After only looking at it carefully for a while, he found that the soldiers who were added this time were indeed elites, but such soldiers, if they were not properly organized, would not be so easy to bring up.
"Old general, this time our 3,000 people have been expanded to 10,000 horses at once, and only by reorganizing them as soon as possible can we transform these 10,000 people into combat effectiveness. This reorganization will be carried out according to our previous plan, but the next training will depend on you, old man, if you need anything, tell me directly. ”
Li Benlei nodded, "General, but please don't worry, I also hope that these 10,000 men and horses will be reorganized as soon as possible, so that I can go to the battlefield one day earlier, and then I will be able to kill a few more Goguryeo dog thieves." But now there is something to do, the emperor ordered the armies to send elite to expand the broken barracks, the commander of the 24th Army did not dare to be sloppy, but although they sent it, but when each person came, only a horse, a bright light armor, a riding gun, and the rest of the various equipment were not given. I also went to them, and their words were that since the people have now returned to our broken barracks, the equipment of these people will naturally have to be provided by us, and they can let each person bring a set of basic equipment, which is already good. My lord, although we have it now, we don't have the equipment. ”
Chen Kefu couldn't help but feel a little angry after hearing this, but the anger was only a flash, and this kind of thing can be regarded as a little stumbling block that those people have made to themselves. In this matter, if he goes to the emperor, he will definitely win the lawsuit in the end, but in this way, the relationship between him and the various armies will be completely stiffened, and then those people will not be jealous but hateful.
"Old general, you tell me what equipment we need, and I'll figure it out myself."
"My lord, we have all the armor and arms of the heavy cavalry, but we lack good horses, and the armor and weapons of the heavy cavalry are too heavy, and we will not be able to support it for long in battle without good horses, and the power of the heavy cavalry will be greatly reduced. At present, we can only pick out a thousand horses at most to be used as war horses for the heavy cavalry, at least two thousand are missing, and when marching, the equipment of the heavy cavalry should best be pulled by the carriage, so as to save physical strength, so we also need a large number of carriages. ”
"Well, I'll figure out a way to do this, what other equipment needs from the light cavalry?"
"War horses, 7,000 light horses, but we only have less than 3,000 war horses now, if you have a way, it is best to get 10,000 war horses back directly, so that we can also have some war horses in our hands that can be prepared. The other is the armor, although everyone brought armor, but most of them are all kinds of worn armor, it is estimated that when they came, the armies exchanged the damaged armor in the warehouse for the armor on their bodies. In addition, each light cavalry was armed with at least one horizontal sword, one crossbow, one light bow, one cavalry spear, and two pots of arrows. ”
Hearing such a long list of figures, Chen Kefu couldn't help but have a headache, this is not a little bit, such a large number of weapons and equipment, it is not easy to do it.
Patting his head, Chen Kefu frowned and said, "This is left to the old general to be in charge, I have to think of a way to get these equipment back as soon as possible." I haven't thought about these weapons yet, but I don't think it's a big problem with this war horse. This time back, we saved the life of Shaoqing Yu Wenhua of Taifu Temple, I guess he won't embarrass me, not to mention that we sent several boxes of gold and silver jewelry from Xincheng to Lord Yuwenshu yesterday, presumably this should be no problem. As for the weapons, if it really doesn't work, I'll go directly to the emperor when I do, and I believe the emperor won't watch the soldiers in my broken barracks go to the battlefield empty-handed. ”
"My lord, it's best not to do this unless it is absolutely necessary, if I do that, I will really be isolated by the army after I break the barracks." The old man said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I won't use this trick until the end."
Since Yu Wenhua returned to the camp in Liaodong City, he also felt a burst of fear, if it wasn't for Chen Kefu desperately to save him, his little life would really be lost in the wild of Liaodong. Yu Wenhua was very happy about Chen Kefu's sudden arrival, and by now, he has completely regarded Chen Kefu as his good brother. The two exchanged polite words, and Chen Kefu said about his lack of horses.
"How can this be reasonable, these Qiu Ba are so hateful, knowing that Brother Pojun is a subordinate of my Yuwen clan, they still make such small actions. Brother Pojun sat down for a while, I immediately went to tell my old man, and asked him to go to the emperor to sue those people, I want to embarrass Brother Pojun, and I don't look at whether my Yuwen clan is willing or not. Although Yu Wenhua was very willing to help, Chen Kefu was very uncomfortable listening to it, and his words revealed that those generals were embarrassed by him Chen Kefu made his Yuwen family very angry, because he beat the dog and did not look at the owner.
He understood Yu Wenhua very well and although he was very grateful for his life-saving grace, he didn't really treat him Chen Kefu as a brother, but just regarded him as a high-level slave of his Yuwen family.
calmed down the anger in his heart, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "Lord Yuwen doesn't have to be like this, if you really stab the matter in front of the emperor, although with the grace of the handsome in front of the emperor, you will definitely be able to solve the matter." However, it is not a good thing to trouble the marshal to find the emperor in everything. My lord, now that you are the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, you are not up to you to decide about this horse. ”
Yu Wenhua nodded, "Brother Pojun's words are reasonable, although Brother Pojun is not as young as Brother Pojun, but this Taifu Temple Brother can still be the master of the house." I will immediately ask the people below to select 10,000 high-grade war horses for Brother Po Jun, don't you still need carriages, and I will also allocate you 1,000 horses and 2,000 horses. We can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship, and I will do this for Brother Pojun no matter what. Luckily, you came early, or tomorrow, maybe it won't be easy. After speaking, he looked proud.
"Oh, what do you say about Brother Yuwen?" Looking at the way he smiled, Chen Kefu also knew what kind of inside information it might be.
After Yu Wenhua looked left and right to see that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said proudly, "This time I defeated the 80,000 Goguryeo cavalry of Eji Wende, and the emperor Longyan Dayue has been discussing with the ministers of the DPRK and China for the past two days how to reward the meritorious soldiers. I have listened to what my old man said, and after two days of deliberation, I finally have a result, and tomorrow the emperor will be in the imperial tent, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. This time the credit to the broken military brother deserved the first merit, the father of the big break of the Yizhi Wende is also a great achievement, to the younger brother I am also lucky this time, with the broken military brother before the performance, share some credit to me, so this time brother I also have a reward, I already know that the emperor will reward me tomorrow as the general of Zuotunwei from the third grade, so if the broken military brother comes to me tomorrow, I really can't help you with this. ”
Chen Kefu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it, he didn't expect that Yu Wenhua and such garbage could actually talk about such a big achievement, and he was actually named General Zuotunwei. I don't know what the soldiers who died in the fierce battle that day would have thought if they had known such a result.
"Congratulations to Brother Yuwen for his promotion, he is really a tiger father without a dog, Boss Yuwen is the number one general today, and now Brother Yuwen is so promising, he has been promoted to General Zuotunwei, and he will definitely become a famous general like Boss Yuwen in the future."
"Awards, awards. Brother Po Jun has discussed it as the first merit this time, and he will definitely get a bigger reward, but the rewards of the rest of the meritorious people have been agreed, but Brother Po Jun's has not yet achieved results, but the reward will definitely not be small at that time. By the way, I suddenly remembered that there is a person who can help Brother Po Jun solve the problem of equipment, so I will take you to meet him. ”
Happy New Year, everyone...... It's the New Year, if you have a vote, vote for me, hehe!
