"It's almost night, why are there still soldiers and horses coming? Which army is this? Could it be that he ......?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Lu Xiangsheng's face, he didn't hear the alarm of the sentry horse, and it was the army coming from the direction of Zhulu, it must be which Qinwang's reinforcements, but this people, which part of the reinforcements is it? A young face flashed in his mind, but he shook his head again, less than two hours had passed, and he couldn't have come so soon.

Soon, when the group reached a short distance from the camp, they stopped and began to form a formation outside the city. In a matter of moments, they were in a group, forming several neat phalanxes outside the city, not moving. And that's not all, while they were waiting, there were 6 soldiers and horses coming behind them, and although they were on their way, they were still neat among the ranks, and each team formed a phalanx, and after a quarter of an hour or so seven or eight phalanxes stood outside the camp, and each phalanx was neatly arranged.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at it for a while, they were still motionless, several arrays were still neat, this kind of military appearance and majesty can already be said to be a first-class strong army in the Ming Dynasty, although it is still not clear what their banner looks like, but Lu Xiangsheng is very happy in his heart, and there is another strong army, which greatly increases his chances of victory.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng was happy, a personal soldier walked quickly and reported to him loudly: "Qiyu Governor, Yueyang, the general of Xuanfu North Road, has been ordered to come to help, and he has arrived outside the camp and is listening to the orders of the governor. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback at first, and then said happily: "Okay." This Yue Yang was able to travel thirty miles in two hours, and his soldiers were well led! Call Yue Yang to see the official immediately! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the other generals in the camp also rushed over after receiving the news. There are also generals in Xuanda and Liaodong, and even many sergeants are also pointing at the outside of the agreement.

Soon, Yue Yang, who was still wearing a full set of gray-black armor and a bright red cloak, strode up to Lu Xiangsheng.

I saw Yue Yang striding in front of Lu Xiangsheng, flicking the scarlet cloak behind him, kneeling down on one knee, and clasping his hands into fists. shouted loudly: "The last general Xuanda Town North Road General Yue Yang, I have seen the governor Lord Lu, and the last general was ordered to arrive as scheduled. Governor Lu, please! ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yue Yang, a look of relief flashed through his eyes, and he nodded slowly: "Okay...... Yue Yang, you have lived up to the expectations of your official, and you can arrive within two hours in thirty miles. It shows that your soldiers are well trained. This official didn't look at the wrong person! ”

Yue Yang hurriedly said: "Thanks to the good teaching of the governors, the last general will not dare to take credit!" ”

"Good...... Get up! Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward to help him up, looking at Yue Yang, who was covered in dust, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "With Zhenghong's strong army, this official is not afraid of Tartars!" ”

"Humph......"

At this time, Wu Sangui also arrived, and when he heard Lu Xiangsheng praise Yue Yang so much, he was naturally very unconvinced and snorted softly.

Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "Yue Yang, this time this official ordered you to come to help urgently. Have you ever been smooth along the way? How far have the soldiers and horses arrived? ”

Yue Yang replied loudly: "Cavalry Governor, the last general will go out as soon as he receives the official document of the Ministry of War's transfer of troops." Day and night, the road was quite smooth, with 8,565 soldiers and 2,000 heavy soldiers all arriving, and none of them were left behind! ”

"Wow......"

As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, an exclamation immediately sounded, and both the generals of Xuanda and the generals of Liaodong were amazed.

In ancient times, due to the inconvenience of transportation, there would definitely be soldiers who were left behind on the way on long marches. Once the generals receive the mandatory order to arrive within the time limit, they will often rush desperately in order to arrive at the destination on schedule, so that the marching team will be longer and longer, the first day of the marching army will be one mile, the second day will become two miles, the third day will become four miles, and when they reach the destination, it is often good that three thousand soldiers and horses can reach five hundred, and the remaining soldiers and horses will generally arrive in the next six consecutive days, and three thousand soldiers and horses can generally find about two thousand, and the rest are often missing.

The general coach is naturally aware of such a situation, but the coach rarely punishes those generals for this kind of thing, after all, people are also trying their best to arrive on schedule, if it is for this kind of thing to punish subordinates, who will dare to arrive on schedule next time? Whoever is in charge will generally turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Even Lu Xiangsheng thought that this kind of evil disease in the army was already deeply rooted in the army, and he could not deal with those generals casually, as long as the commander of the army arrived, and the rest of the sergeants arrived in a few days.

And Xiang Yueyang's ability to maintain such a neat army during a rapid march can be said to be unique in Daming, which also has to amaze Lu Xiangsheng and the generals around him.

In fact, what Lu Xiangsheng and the Ming generals behind him did not know was that in the later generations of Chinese armies, whether an army could march forcibly and rapidly was one of the important criteria to measure whether the army was excellent.

Yue Yang, who grew up under the red flag, has watched so many film and television dramas, and naturally inherited this tradition, in his army, it is common to pull the team out for forced marching every once in a while, so that the team can be kept intact in the case of such a high-intensity march.

Not only Lu Xiangsheng, but even the many generals behind him were looking at each other, with a look of amazement on their faces, they were all people who led the troops, and naturally knew how difficult it was to do this. And Wu Sangui's face became a little ugly, although he prides himself on being a good general on weekdays, but his own family knows his own affairs, if his family is like Yue Yang, he will definitely not be able to rush all of them without pulling like Yue Yang.

At this time, although Wu Sangui was a little jealous in his heart, he knew very well that this was not his territory, and the land of Gyeonggi could not allow him to go wild at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Lu Xiangsheng and Yue Yang talked for a long time, and about two quarters of an hour had passed, but the phalanx of the army brought by Yue Yang outside the camp was still standing, and everyone stood neatly, allowing the sergeants in the camp to point and point, and everyone was forced to move, and such a neat military discipline made everyone's hearts shocked. Everyone is a soldier, so naturally they know how amazing the combat effectiveness of an army with strict military discipline is to enforce orders and prohibitions.

Even Lu Xiangsheng's personal general, Chen An, couldn't help but say to Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu beside him: "Although this official has not seen with his own eyes how General Yue fought the Tartars, after seeing such troops, this official is already convinced of General Yue's past achievements. ”

Not to mention how everyone talked about Yue Yang and his Yingzhou army, at this time, Lu Xiangsheng said to Yue Yang: "You have just arrived, and there is no good place to settle you for a while, so how about you be wronged and set up the camp next to the camp of the official superintendent?" ”

When Yue Yang heard this, this was not a grievance, but a compliment. The supervising battalion is the commander's pro-army, naturally where the commander is, the supervising battalion is there, and now Lu Xiangsheng actually asked Yue Yang to install the battalion next to him, which represents absolute trust!

With this kind of good thing, Yue Yang naturally would not refuse, he didn't even say a word of nonsense and turned out, and soon a neatly arranged army drove into the camp.

When a group of sergeants in gray-black armor walked into the camp in a neat procession, the whole camp was in a stir. Many sergeants and even officers secretly watched the new army from the sidelines.

There is a big difference between Yueyang's Yingzhou army and the Ming army at this time, and the biggest difference is in their armor. In the era when productivity was not yet reached, ordinary soldiers did not have iron armor on their bodies, and it was generally good to have a cotton armor or leather armor, and if there was an iron armor that could cover several key points, it was already an elite army.

But when they saw that Yueyang's army, from the officers to the soldiers, they were all wearing iron armor covering their whole bodies, and even their boots were wrapped in iron sheets. These are not counted, in the eyes of everyone, all the soldiers and horses led by Yue Yang are ruddy-faced, although they have been forcibly marching for several days, they are still in good spirits, and their every move is full of strong fighting spirit.

Wu Sangui looked at the seemingly endless queues, and the horror in his heart became even stronger, and beside him, a guerrilla muttered to himself: "There is no void under the fame, it is really a strong army!" (To be continued......)
