Chapter 197: Military Order
There are only two people in the huge Chinese army's big tent, Liu Yu and Huo Yuan.
Huo was wearing wide armor, and a pair of eyes barely leaked out under the helmet. Holding a halberd that was two heads taller than his body, he stumbled when he walked.
Liu Yu raised his hand and asked him if he would sit.
Huo Yi wanted to sit, but the armor was "piled up" on his body, and if he sat down, he would definitely fall apart.
"I'll just stand. If there is anything to ask me, hurry up and say, I'm very busy. Huo Yi spoke with a sense of momentum.
Liu Yue knew that it was difficult for Lu Dao to teach this wild boy the rules, and it didn't hurt to be free and easy in the barracks, and he was not a formal person.
"Literate?" Liu Yu spread out the military map and asked casually.
"Yes." Huo Yi thought for a while, "Just four, Huo, Sick, Two, Tiger, no, it's five, I also know that one." ”
Liu Yu remembered that Huo Yi mentioned the big tiger Yunyun yesterday, so he asked again: "Your name is Erhu?" ”
"Hmm. Erhu is my original name, I only know that my surname is Huo, the name is given to me by Brother Big Tiger, Brother Big Tiger said what the name is nothing, I used to get sick often, he said that it is called Huo disease, so that there is no disease and no disaster to live a long life, all fucking nonsense, I still get sick every year. The four of us were all picked up by Brother Tiger in the pile of dead people, and we all had no father or mother. Those three, three tigers, four tigers and five tigers lined up. ”
Only then did Liu Yu realize that they were not related by blood, brothers of the opposite sex.
It's rare that the big tiger is willing to take in these people, but it's a pity that the person is dead, otherwise this kind of affectionate and righteous person is worth befriending.
"Will there be a war?"
"What kind of battle? Let me be a halberd guard, and I still have to fight? ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "Of course those who are soldiers have to fight." What else would you do besides being able to shoot arrows? ”
Huo Yi raised his head triumphantly and said, "It's going to be a lot." See what you want. ”
"Will the siege be?" Liu Yu pointed outside. "Like Weicheng, how can you attack? I mean, if you were in command of the whole army, how would you let the soldiers take this city? ”
"That's not easy, just climb in it and it's over, even the smallest five tigers, it's trivial to climb such a high city wall."
Liu Yu originally thought that this Huo disease was bragging, how could such a high city wall be said to climb in?
Huo Ill's words are conclusive, and Liu Yu also wants to see it. In order to verify, I found someone to take Huo to try it on the spot.
I saw Huo Yi take off the armor on his body, find a corner under the city wall, support the wall with both hands, and go up, and then turn around and wave his hand triumphantly when he jumps on the city wall. Even Yang Lie, who was originally very contemptuous of Huo Disease, couldn't help but be stunned, even the most sophisticated guards of the Imperial Forest Army did not have the ability to climb the wall with their bare hands.
In order to show his strength, Huo Yi climbed down the same way from the wall again, and his whole body was free up and down like a gecko. When he jumped in front of Liu Yu, Huo Yi said proudly: "What's the matter, it's not bragging, right?" ”
"Not bad. Quite capable. Liu Yu smiled, "If you find a few people to train you." How many days will you be able to learn this? ”
Huo Yi looked at his head and said disdainfully: "Then it depends on whether they have this talent." ”
Liu Yu said: "Then I will promote you to a captain, and you will choose people to train them in their ability to climb the wall." Do you want to do it? ”
From a small soldier to a full lieutenant overnight, this can be said to be a great merit in the army, and a few have to cut off the heads of more than a dozen enemy soldiers on the battlefield to obtain the honor. But Huo Yi was still reluctant, and asked, "Is there a difference between this captain and the halberd position?" ”
Huo was illiterate, and he didn't know the difference between Wei and Wei, and thought they were ordinary soldiers. Of course, I don't think it's any honor.
"When the halberd guard only has 50 catties of military rations a month, and as a full lieutenant, not only does the military ration have 200 catties per month, but also ten copper plates a day, do you think there is a difference?"
Huo Yi almost exclaimed in surprise when he heard it. Originally, fifty catties of military rations were enough for him and his three little followers to eat and wear, but now they suddenly add so much, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it all every day.
"That'...... Hurry up and make me a lieutenant. Huo Yi looked at Liu Yu, and then looked at Yang Lie, who was silent next to him, showing an extremely impatient appearance.
Liu Yu just wanted to let Huo Yi burst out with the motivation to fight, and he was not in a hurry to speak at this time, he shook his head with a smile and said, "No." As you said, to get such a big benefit at one time, it depends on whether you have the ability or not. You are given three days to train a hundred who can climb the wall, and you don't have to climb with your bare hands, you can use ropes to hook them. Come back to me when you're done. ”
Liu Yu looked at Yang Lie again and said, "General Yang, you can help this kid do the selection of people." Don't bury his good skills. ”
"My subordinates understand." Yang Lie also smiled on his face, Liu Yu was still puzzled when he asked him to try to keep this hairy boy, but now it seems that this is still a capable person with unique skills. Keeping people is the right thing to stay.
Now that there is a shortage of siege baggage, if you can train a group of masters who climb the wall, you can save even ladders and rushing cars. Save money, save manpower and material resources, and get more than one stone.
He is ready for all the Royal Guards to come and learn, originally the Royal Guards are good at all aspects, and it is not difficult to learn.
On the second day, the Chinese army continued to be stationed in Weicheng, but the flank had been divided into three roads, each with 2,000 soldiers and horses approaching Suicheng, the main assembly place of the Fucheng rebels, forming a three-bread clamp trend. Originally, the rebellion in the eastern part of Guanzhong was only within a radius of two or three hundred miles, and the overall movement of the counterinsurgency army also made the scope of the activities of the Fucheng rebels repeatedly narrowed. Because the counterinsurgency army carried out the strategy of crossing the city without attacking, what they were most afraid of was that the rebels would sneak attack from behind, but judging from the march in the past two days, the rebels were obviously afraid of the might of the officers and soldiers, and even if the army passed by, they only cowered within the city wall and did not dare to come out.
By the third day, the Chinese army, consisting of the Imperial Forest Army and the Women's Army, began to advance towards Suicheng.
On the evening of September 12, the garrison of the army was less than 20 miles away from Suicheng, where the main force of the Fucheng rebels was stationed.
Liu Yu called Huo Yu to ask him about the results of his training, and as soon as Huo Yu saw Liu Yu, he shouted: "I'm in a hurry, how can I practice without a wall?" ”
"There are no walls, there are always trees along the way, and you can climb trees." Liu Yu thought that this kid had not completed his goal.
"No need. I've trained them and I've gone above and beyond the task. Huo Yi said, it turned out that Yang Lie gave him no less than five hundred, except for some who were born with insufficient hand and foot strength, or were afraid of heights, most of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army have mastered the essence of climbing the wall, but they are not at home yet, and they may fall off the wall, and they must use ropes.
"Now you can make me that lieutenant?" Huo couldn't wait to ask.
"The training was done well. But I didn't say that I would give you a promotion to lieutenant after training. Liu Yu held the book in his hand and said for a long time.
Huo Yi was angry on the spot, these days he got up early and trained those royal forest soldiers to climb the wall, and now Liu Yu actually regretted it.
"What kind of teacher is pretending to be a teacher, holding a book, and playing scoundrels like those people who are full of hypocrisy, right?" Huo Yi couldn't go up and tear Liu Yu up violently, but fortunately, Yang Lie held this kid down.
"I didn't say I wouldn't mention it to you." Liu Yu pointed in the direction of Suicheng and said, "There is a city twenty miles away over there, so you will take someone to climb the wall and open the city gate tonight." I will call someone to support you outside the city, and if you do a good job, you will be promoted to a lieutenant immediately, if you don't do a good job, the rebels will find out and your head will be cut off, I can't collect your body, I'm afraid that even the three tigers will starve to death on the streets. ”
Huo Yi struggled to open Yang Lie's arm, pointed at Liu Yu and said angrily: "You are ruthless!" "Then we have to get out of the tent.
"Wait."
Liu Yu suddenly stopped Yang Lie, took out a piece of paper with words written on it and handed it to him: "Sign it on it." ”
"This ...... What is it? Huo Yi looked at the paper, and he didn't recognize a word.
"It's called a military order." Liu Yu said, "The above said that there is a deadline for your mission this time, of course, it is also written above, if you complete the task, you will be promoted to be a captain." If you can't do it, it's also your own free will, don't sue me at Lord Yama. ”
Huo Yao's panting was uneven, and he exhaled: "I signed it, I was cut off and had a big scar, and I was a good man again eighteen years later." ”
With a stroke of the pen, two crooked words were written on it, among which Huo was still missing strokes.
"Let's go!"
When Linhuo went out, Liu Yu still shouted gloatingly in the back.
As night fell, Huo Yi also set off at night with more than 400 Royal Forest soldiers who had learned to climb the wall. As the commander of this special force, Lan Jing will assist Yu Huo from the side.
After waiting for the group to set off for a while, Yang Lie came back and looked at Liu Yu, who was still reading, and asked, "General, what should we do now?" ”
"The army does not move. Fucheng must have found someone to monitor the Chinese army camp. You first arrange for the three hundred cavalry in our battalion, ten cavalry as a group, to go out of the city in the appearance of patrolling the camp, and then assemble on the rocky slope outside the east gate of Suicheng City. All you have to do in a moment is to wait for the blue fireworks signal at the east gate of the city, and then bring 300 cavalry to kill the generals, and then the army will march away again. ”
The security range of the encirclement was five to ten miles, and Liu Yu specially stationed the army twenty miles west of Suicheng City, just to paralyze the Fucheng rebels. Let them think that the army is ready to rest for a day before attacking the city, and at this time the garrison in the city must also be dominated by the west city gate, which gives Huo Yi a chance.
With the departure of Huo Ill Lan Jing and Yang Lie one after another, the camp was still very stable, and Xu Xuanzhu originally planned to let Liu Yue sleep peacefully earlier, preparing for a tough battle in the coming day. Liu Yu took Xu Xuanzhu's hand and said with a smile about the family.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Xu Xuanzhu felt that Liu Yu was not quite right, and couldn't help asking.
Liu Yu sighed and took out a battle report, which was the battle report of the Jianghuai generation that had just been passed from the starry night in the capital, where the Huai King had already sent troops across the Yangtze River and continued to advance westward, connecting six cities in one day.
King Huai's undeclared war was also tantamount to officially starting the war for the throne.
"We don't have soldiers, we don't have food, and the fire in our backyard hasn't been extinguished. Madam, I am really afraid that one day King Huai's army will kill Chang'an City, and our family will suffer a catastrophe because of my original decision. ”
"Husband, as long as our family is born together and dies together, there is nothing to be afraid of."
As he spoke, Xu Xuanzhu's gaze also became eager. (To be continued......)
