Chapter 80: A New Era
After all the generals received the general orders and issued the accounts, Chen Kefu walked out of the camp and looked at the busy camp at this time, the sky flashed, and a thunderclap sounded.
Chen Kefu looked up at the sky, the sky was still hanging with a bright moon, I don't know when the dark clouds started, at this time, after a flash of lightning, the sky suddenly opened up a big raindrop.
The raindrops hit the face, making people feel painful. The raindrops hit the ground, and after a while, there was a splash on the ground.
Luo Lin stood next to Chen Kefu, "This is naΓ―ve, it will change, just now it was still a bright wind and a pleasant moonlight, and it rained heavily at this moment." General, let's get in the account, don't catch a cold, this rain is really not the right time, it rains at this time, and His Majesty's army and our troops guarding the cities will be in trouble. With this rain, the road will definitely be muddy. β
Chen Kefu nodded, "Yes, it's raining at this time, but it's good to rain at this time." In a moment, the movement of His Majesty's army when it retreated could be hidden in this heavy rain. It's just that it's going to be a little more troublesome on the way, and there will definitely be a lot of delay at that time. β
In the heavy rain, there was already a large army in the camp that began to move, but it was the 50,000 vanguard army led by the two generals, Yuwenshu and Yang Yichen, who would take on the light cavalry and rush to Beiping County in case the rebels would really come to attack Beiping.
The black cavalry of Yishui, but although it was raining heavily at this time, no one in the cavalry dared to shout and scold. Everyone was strictly ordered not to be publicized along the way, and they had to leave quietly.
50,000 cavalry, this is almost half of the cavalry in the army of Liao, looking at the army like a dragon out of the water, Chen Kefu is also envious, when will he Chen Kefu also have such a hundred battles elite cavalry. The Han dynasty has been short of war horses since ancient times, and this Great Sui has successively defeated the Turks in order to have such a powerful cavalry. This Turk was known as the two million men who controlled the strings on horseback, but they were also defeated by the Sui army.
It's a pity that this Sui army is leaving now, and may never have the opportunity to return to Liaodong. Their spears and horizontal knives can no longer be slashed at foreign tribes in the future, they can only slash at the endless peasant rebels in the future, and even those noble rebels, maybe it won't be long before they will become a part of this rebellion, until there is no longer the banner of the Great Sui in this world.
"My lord, we broke the barracks and went out." Rollin said with some excitement.
Chen Kefu turned his head to look, and sure enough, Li Benlei's two thousand light cavalry was dispatched, braving the heavy rain, and the two thousand cavalry were no worse than the vanguard army led by Yuwenshu just now. Even in Chen Kefu's view, the cavalry of the broken army, who have won successive battles and failed to pay for their defeats, have an indomitable momentum, which is the sharp edge accumulated by the Lian Zhanbian Jies since the establishment of this cavalry. As long as they are undefeated, they can always maintain this kind of edge, unless they are defeated one day.
The rain was very heavy, but Chen Kefu was reluctant to enter the account, so he stood there and looked at these war horses, knights, and these warriors in the rain.
"My lord, there is another army out of the camp over there." After a long time, Luo Lindao, who was holding a big shield to carry the rain for Chen Kefu.
In the midst of the heavy rain, another army came out of the camp. However, it is not appropriate to call it an army, because it seems that in addition to the battle flag and sword soldiers, Team Kefu really can't see where this infantry army can have anything to do with the army.
The temporary officers, large and small, who were in a hurry, shouted one by one, "Hurry up, keep up with your team, and follow whichever team you are." β
In the heavy rain, all the people who distributed weapons basically had no rain gear. They were soaked in the rain one by one, but just like that, these sturdy-looking men were still holding their heads in their hands, shrinking their necks, and scolding in various local dialects in their mouths, "What is this official crazy about, and he has to hurry up in such a heavy rain?" β
Someone shouted, "What kind of official, that Zhang Teamzheng, was drinking with me yesterday." The officials above just now just pointed at him casually. Otherwise, it's not the same as you and me, where is there a horse to ride, this straight thief, now she is angry. β
The team in the dark night and heavy rain did not use torches, because they were afraid of being discovered by the defenders of Liaodong City, and they walked in the rain one by one in the dark, and the already chaotic team was even more chaotic. From time to time, someone shouted, "Give way, give way, you are blocking our way." β,
Shandong, Hebei, Jiangnan, Guanlong, many people who speak various local dialects are mixed together, and it has become a big market. Most of the people who were picked out in a hurry were also divided into townships and villages. The people in this battalion are all from Henan, and the people in that battalion are all from Shandong. And under a battalion, a team of people may all come from a county. The newly appointed temporary officers are all just some prestigious fellow villagers in various villages.
Everyone is in a group, and I am in a team, next to each other, touching, and crowding, and in order to rush the road, several teams of people even started a group fight. Everyone spoke in their own dialects and called out to their friends. Anyway, in the dark night, when I heard the sound of my hometown, I went up to help. This made the cavalrymen who had just been promoted from the commander and the squad to the officer position of several hundred people anxious one by one. can only keep waving the horsewhip, splitting the head and covering the face is a beating.
And those people who were very strong in the group fight, at this time, dozens or hundreds of people stood there, facing the whip that was drawn, but no one dared to resist, and one by one they quickly and honestly held their heads and jumped around.
More people can't find their own team in this crowding, one will run before, one will run back, but the team that can't find themselves will cry dad and call their mother there. They can only use their own dialects and shout the names of their neighbors, but basically they can't find anyone.
Looking at this chaotic scene, Chen Kefu frowned and sighed, these are the people's troops he wants to rely on as the cornerstone of Liaodong? With such a rabble, the Liao people only need to send a few hundred cavalry to scatter the group of people in front of him and scatter them everywhere.
Luo Lin also frowned and said, "General, do you really think these people are helpful to us?" I don't think these people will be of any use if they really start a war, and they might even mess up our own position. β
Chen Kefu touched his nose a little embarrassed, but these were also things he expected. Originally, the best way should be to install new recruits in the old army, and one or two new recruits in a group, and the veterans should lead the new recruits, which is the fastest and most appropriate. However, now that the war is coming, he neither has so many old troops, nor does he dare to arrange those new recruits into the old troops.
Now these noisy people in front of him are just like the peasants who are coerced by the peasant rebels, although they seem to be outnumbered and powerful, and they can claim to be tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at every turn, but such a group of people. If you fight a battle against the wind, these people can also play a role in helping to prestige.
But if things don't go right, these people can break up the entire army. But now he can't do it, he has a city, people, and equipment, but he doesn't have time. He had to seize every moment, and he also comforted himself in his heart, these people just need to go to the new city and wait for the city, and then with the city in the way, these people can train safely. Even if it is really a battle, this siege battle is no better than a field battle, and there should not be anything too worrying.
In the face of those noisy people, Chen Feng and the others had no choice but to let the temporary team of leaders below carry their own flags and shout, "Follow the flag, if it is the first division, it will follow the wolf on the flag, if it is the second division, it will follow the bear with wings in the banner, if it is the third division, it will follow the blue dragon on the banner, and if it is the fourth division, it will follow the white tiger flag." Everyone read carefully, don't go wrong. As for getting separated from your own team, it doesn't matter, when you get to the city, everyone will return to their own teams! β
The captains held a flag that was rushed out when they were facing, and kept running back and forth shouting, finally giving direction to the militias who were scurrying like headless flies.
Groups of people grinned, followed the banners of their respective divisions, stepped on the muddy ground in the heavy rain, and ran towards the unknown distance, gradually moving away!
"It's time for me to prepare, and inform the officers of the various teams that are still in the battalion. We went to meet the remaining 300,000 people, although these people have not been selected for the time being, but they are also very important, and we have to train them these days. β
Luo Lin held a big shield on his head and persuaded, "My lord, now that the rain is so heavy, you should go again tomorrow, now Your Majesty's army has also been mobilized, and everywhere is chaotic." The soldiers who broke the barracks are already taking over the camp, and the soldiers don't have time now, so I'd better wait until tomorrow. β
Chen Kefu asked, "Is there a third watch now?" β
"My lord, it's not the third watch now, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily tonight. Therefore, His Majesty decided to set off early, just in time for the help of heavy rain, so that there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Goguryeo people. Although this heavy rain came suddenly, it was not bad to think about it, it was best to continue for many days, so that we would not be able to stay in the camp, and the Liao people in Liaodong City should not suspect anything. β
Hearing that the emperor was finally gone, Chen Kefu felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart, and every time he faced Yang Guang, he always felt a great pressure in his heart. Now that he's gone, this Liaodong is what he says, and it feels so good. Yang Guang's era is about to pass, and his time is coming!
Asking for tickets, we have 400,000 younger brothers, and all those who don't give tickets are pulled to Liaodong to give Goguryeo women as husbands
