Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 19 Thousand Riders Roll Hiraoka (6)
Outside the Bianliang Nanfu Gate, the golden drum is noisy, and the flag is flying. Thousands of troops, in the newly established Nanxunmen camp school field, stand solemnly!
Bianliang Shenwu Changsheng Army is the commander of the sixteenth cavalry, along with a mink hat. The armor is piercing, and the blade is shining brightly. Just wait for the sacrificial flag to come out.
The rest of the four compartments of the Bianliang Shenwu Changsheng Army also sent soldiers to watch the ceremony. also wore armor and held soldiers, putting on an elite posture.
To say that although the camp outside the Nanxun Gate is vast, it is not enough to put so many people. Counting the regular soldiers alone, the Chinese army has the fullest establishment, with more than 7,300 officers and soldiers. There were also four or five thousand people who were recruited from the region alone. And the local counties along the way have the responsibility to cooperate with the recruitment of husbands and servants in the Hedong Army.
Standing in the middle of the school field at the moment, it is only half of the Chinese army. The infantry army is like an iron tower, forming a steel array. And the horses were all mounted on the same color, and the men and horses were silent. In the school yard, only countless helmets fluttered like blood.
These thousands of people are the backbone of the Bianliang New Army, the backbone of the Bianliang New Army, or have followed Xiao Yan through bloody battles, or they have grown up in the border areas, and they have relied on hard work to make a living since they can remember.
This army defeated the Khitan army and defeated the Jurchen army. Killed hundreds of thousands of rebellious Yandi people. Overcome the famous county of Xiongcheng. Xiao Yan armed them with the best equipment and supported them with the most abundant resources. This army is also eager to fight more, build greater feats, and win greater wealth. Never afraid of the overwhelming Hulu!
This is a group of arrays, as long as Xiao Yan's banner is directed. Just die a tiger wolf that doesn't spin his heels!
The rest of the four new armies each sent a commander to watch the ceremony. Even if the equipment is the same, the array is the same. Blades and armor are the same. He was equally speechless, just standing straight and waiting. But compared to the real evil aura exuded by the military horse in the center, I don't know how far it is!
On both sides of the school field, tents were erected. The princes of the court and the central government also came to watch the ceremony and send the army to the flag. In particular, there are many officials in the western province. Even in the East Mansion, there are also important ministers such as the governor in the train, which can be regarded as giving enough face to King Yan.
This time, Xiao Yan sent the Chinese army to aid Hedong first. In addition to Xifu, which is in Xiao Yan's own control, he must take out the strength to eat. Even Dongfu is also responsive, as long as King Yan speaks. are trying their best to be satisfied.
Not counting the money raised by the West Mansion itself, just counting the money provided by the East Mansion, there are almost nearly one million yuan of goods. Thousands of people hired from were hired in an urgent manner, and hundreds of boats were directly dispatched from the Rokuro Shipping Division. Thousands of carts. Thousands of mules and donkeys were purchased from the civilian population to supplement the army. Sent military rations and horse feed. The soldiers wore brand-new winter clothes and various utensils, piled up like a mountain, and I don't know how many there were.
Since the Song Dynasty, this expedition was probably the most efficient, and the military funds and food raised in the shortest time were the largest.
Although the Wenchen generation is eager to send this military horse out of the division, they are really among them. But they didn't have the relaxed mentality of sending the plague god, but they each lost their color. They personally raised a lot of military funds and salaries to supplement this army of tigers and wolves. I really don't know if it's good or bad for them!
At this moment. The Wenchen generation was not even in the mood to discuss. It's just that the goosebumps were aroused layer after layer by layer of goosebumps by this army. I just hope that the ceremony of sacrificing the flag will end soon.
Before the army, there was a high platform of earthen ramparts. The middle of the earthen ramparts. There was a red flag and a black flag.
Song Deshang fire, when there is a red flag. And the division goes to the north, and the north is water, and there should be a black flag.
Under the two flags, black oxen and white sheep were tied, and they did not know what they had eaten, so they were tied up and crouched together, without even a wail.
I don't know how long this atmosphere of slaughter lasted. Everyone only felt that they were being forced to get colder and colder by this murderous aura, and it was as if it was cold to the bones. It was so quiet that it seemed that only his own heartbeat could be heard.
Suddenly, in this solemn silence, several large drums rumbled. Every blow is knocked on the bottom of people's hearts.
Hundreds of generals standing in front of their respective queues waved their hands back at the same time. Thousands of tigers and wolves of the Chinese army shouted in unison: "Auspicious time!" Auspicious time! Auspicious time! Out of the teacher! Out of the teacher! Out of the teacher! ”
The shouting sound was like a tsunami, shaking the people watching the ceremony, everyone changed color, and their legs were weak and they almost fell to the ground!
After the earthen ramparts, there is a circle of brocade screen obstacles. At this time, I saw that in the shouting, two people turned out after the barrier. The first person was Xiao Yan. He's got a change of armor!
In the past, Xiao Yan was always in a courtier's robe, and his temperament was still too sharp for the people in Bianliang. Today, they saw what Xiao Yan's armor looked like. In addition to sharpness, it adds to the murderous aura!
The armor was not gilded and silver, but it was ordinary, dark and dark reflecting the cold light of steel. There are still traces of repair on the nail blades, this is the armor that Xiao Yan has personally put on since he led the army. But who doesn't know the old pawns in the army who are always victorious in the gods?
Black armor, lined with Xiao Yan's sideburns and white hair. There seem to be only these two simple colors in heaven and earth. It seems that only these two colors are the most suitable for this powerful military horse!
White is the cold light of the blade, and black is the armor of the body. Nothing else!
Behind Xiao Yan were the Hanlin Scholars, the Zhilong Pavilion, and the Privy Council all undertook Fang Teng. He also put on armor and pressed his sword, followed closely behind Xiao Yan, and went straight to the earthen fortress.
The drums died down. Once again, there was silence. Only the sound of Xiao Yan and Fang Teng's firm footsteps was heard.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan and Fang Teng were already standing on top of the earthen barrier. Turn to the whole army and separate by the sword.
There was a silence between heaven and earth, and suddenly there was an even greater cheer, just two words.
"King Yan! King Yan! King Yan! ”
If you watch the ceremony, the shout just now is just a change of color and weak legs. And now the huge sound of the word Yan Wang sounded. Let the spectators only feel that this frenzied cry fills all their perceptions. Keep them breathing, let them tremble!
At this time, everyone suddenly felt that as long as this elite team built by Xiao Yan was always by his side. Xiao Yan is almost indestructible. This is the case with a single Bianliang Chinese army. What kind of scene is the Hedong Shenwu Victorious Army at this time?
If you don't want to do it, you will dismiss that Shenwu Victorious Army!
Why did he face the genuine Shenwu Chang Victorious Army that day. But not the fears of today?
Many people just don't understand this question in their hearts. In fact, the reason is very simple, Xiao Yan was not King Yan at that time. Shenwu Changshengjun and Xiao Yan are more just relying on each other and struggling to survive in the Great Song Dynasty.
The commander wants the support of the army, and the army does not need a commander worth following? Xiao Yan has proven himself that the person who miraculously returned from the south is the king of Yan of the Great Song Dynasty. This made the original Shenwu army always win. There has been a radical change. The officers and men of the army have seen more prospects and more possibilities.
Even in the future. There are also countless bloody battles!
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was so arrogant that he sent this military horse out of Bianliang. Beside him, in addition to the hundreds of mink hats and Yan Wangzhi, there was only the unreliable four-box new army.
Xiao Yan pressed his sword and cheered against the army. Raise your hand slowly. Hand raised. The frenzied cheers immediately ceased. Countless eyes were focused on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Do you have any money on you?" If you take it, you will throw it down for Lao Tzu. ”
No one expected Xiao Yan to say this sentence, but the Chinese soldiers in the audience did not hesitate and immediately started to act.
The soldiers of the army are on an expedition of thousands of miles, how can they not carry a few texts on their bodies. At this time, there are no bank cards. Even if the army marches, there is food, food and shelter are in the army. But there are a few articles on my body, and I always feel at ease. But Xiao Yan spoke. Thousands of soldiers touched their waists. Then I heard a series of coins falling into the dust, clanging in the dust.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of dollars were lost in the school grounds. When the sun shines, it shines.
Xiao's tone was still cold: "When the army goes out, there is no hesitation, and when you leave the camp, you will treat yourself as a dead man." Died on the battlefield, keeping the goods cheap for the enemy? If you die in battle, your wife and children will naturally be supported by me, so that they can be mastered! If you return from victory, what is the reward I have given you, compared to this little treasure? ”
Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and pointed at the camp gate: "Give me a division, if you meet an enemy, you will defeat them, crush them, and kill them!" I have no doubt that you will return triumphantly! Shenwu often wins the army, but if he wants to go out, he will have the heart of death. But it is always our opponent who sheds blood on the battlefield! ”
A general suddenly responded and raised his arms and shouted, this general had obviously read a little book.
"But when you go out of the camp, you are a ghost. King Yan, wait for us to present yourself in front of you! ”
First, the generals began to respond, and then all the soldiers: "But when you go out of the camp, you will be a ghost male." But when you go out of the camp, you are a ghost! ”
If the morale of the army is like this, Xiao Yan finally nodded with satisfaction and did not hesitate. There was no superfluous move, and he turned around and signaled to Fang Teng. When the two men came to the black bull and white horse, they grabbed their heads and exposed their necks to face the flag, drew their swords and slashed at the throats of the two livestock. Perhaps both of these animals were fed herbs that accelerated the flow of blood. The throat was slit, and blood shot out, splashing on the surface of the two flags!
Blood splashed upwards, and the shouts of thousands of tigers and wolves were at their warmest!
Fang Teng returned the sword into the sheath and gave a military salute to Xiao Yan's flat chest. Strode down the earthen ramparts. A general had already brought in a mount. Fang Teng turned over and got on the horse neatly, and without looking back, he raised his hand to the north and took the lead.
Thousands of Chinese soldiers and soldiers, after saluting Xiao Yan one by one, turned around and walked out. The nail leaves collided, sonorously and loudly. The blade is like a forest, and the sun shines. Countless bloody helmets fluttered. This strong army left the camp silently.
The rest of the horses and the horses of the soldiers were already waiting outside. Then teams merged into this torrent of steel.
Xiao Yan pressed his sword on top of the earthen ramparts, and watched for a long time as his most reliable military horse in Bianliang gradually moved away. In the smoke and dust, only the silver coins left on the ground were crushed into the soil by countless pairs of military boots, and no one took a second look.
Such a ceremony of sacrificing the flag and going out of the teacher is not in line with etiquette, let alone redundant. But the rest of the rest of the school yard was as silent as death.
Yin Heli, the governor and leader of Kaifeng Mansion, who came to watch the ceremony today, finally reacted from this huge shock, and whispered to the henchmen around him through gritted teeth: "This son must be killed!" However, the Great Song Dynasty will die! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yong bent his legs and walked in the streets and alleys next to the Daxiangguo Temple, although it was not a bazaar with ten thousand surnames. Guarding this feng shui treasure, the surrounding streets and alleys are also very lively. There are restaurants and tea shops everywhere. It was the season of rice, and the aroma of wine wafted in, and Lu Yong only felt that his mouth was full of relish. The two eyes were just spinning around the wine flags on both sides, trying to find a family with less water to drink a few corners.
Lu Yong was recruited by Xiao Yan when he set up a new army in Bianliang, and he was originally a horse trader, raising horses for those merchants and driving horses. is a good horseman, and he has also fought with bandits in the Northland. After joining the army, he commanded ten generals for the Left Wing and the First Horse Army. (Played before, remember?) )
Today, King Yan sacrificed the flag and sent people to watch the ceremony. Lu Yong was also among them. The timely scene shocked Lu Yong to be a little confused now, and he only felt that his blood was rolling in his chest inexplicably. It's a dry mouth, and I want to drink a few corners of spirits.
This time, the Chinese army went out, and the whole army of Bianliang was rewarded. Lu Yong was carrying a solid ten-run pure copper in his arms, and the money bag tied to his waist was about to break the belt of his trousers. It was a great joy. But I thought of throwing away all the money that was all over the school. Lu Yong felt that he was not interested anymore.
But ten pure copper. You can eat any kind of wine and meat. Even if the store is good, Lu Yong has the confidence to drink until he gets drunk. After the Chinese army leaves the division, the whole army can leave the camp on vacation and return to the camp at night, except for being on duty in shifts. It's three days away. That's why Lu Yong only appeared on the edge of this Great Xiangguo Temple today. According to what the army said, this is King Yan wants to win over the hearts of the remaining armies, otherwise how can he have the time to practice for a few days?
Thinking of the robes in the army, Lu Yong felt that he had no taste for birds for a while.
In addition to the Chinese army, the four-box military man. Most of them were born in the forbidden army, and they were accidentally hooked in Bianliang like him. The strong men who were recruited into the army were pitifully few.
Those men who guarded the forbidden army, the night of the palace change got a great benefit. After the selection of the strong to serve in the army. Many people only regard this soldier's salary status as a deserved reward, and they complain about hardship if they practice diligently every day. If it weren't for the fact that King Yan's army has always been short of food and rice, he would have to leave the camp in trouble.
The rest are still mostly honest people, but the Gongwei Forbidden Army has been dismissed for a long time, and these people are more than thirty people. has been living hard in Bianliang, although his body is strong, he can also endure the exercises. But it's been polished to life without blood. And there are many families in Bianliang, and they are full of reluctance for King Yan to help Hedong.
In such a four-box army, what kind of bird is still talking about fame and wealth? The heroes of King Yan, those old gods and martial arts are also heroes. If you don't have a place at home, why didn't you join the Chinese army that day? Even if it is just a regular army, it is willing to eat a few less salaries every month!
It's a pity that I'm able to do it right away, but it's a pity that I'm so brave and bloody!
Just when Lu Yongshu was empty and aggressive, he only felt that his family was born at the wrong time. I heard someone on the side of the street shouting: "Lu Dalang, Lu Dalang!" ”
Lu Yong looked at it and saw that it was a robe in the army, and he was still in command. Called Zhang Qi. It was a rare person to be an idle man after the dismissal of the Gongwei Forbidden Army, and the town was fighting in the Fighting Society, so brave and ruthless, and his hands were bold. When the new army was established, he didn't choose such people to join the army, but he didn't know how Zhang Qi was born and got involved. Beside the commander is a personal guard. If you can hide, you can hide, play with money, eat and drink, and do everything. And the commander was one of the deputies next to Chen Wupo, a legendary figure in the original Gongwei Forbidden Army, who got this position, but he was an honest man, and he had something to do with Zhang Qi, so he couldn't be so broken, so he had to let him wander in the army.
Lu Yong didn't want to see such a character, but the two of them had a bit of a love for stealing wine together, so they could only agree: "Qilang, are you also eating and drinking?" ”
Zhang Qi was wearing a brocade suit, and the weather was not hot but also open, revealing his chest hair with black grits. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing tattoos all over his arms. grinned and said: "King Yan robbed Bianliang of the money and rewarded us, we are reluctant to throw it on the ground, just in the future to exchange for wine." Come, eat together, it's all Zhang Qiyi's! ”
said that Zhang Qi came to pull Lu Yong, but Lu Yong couldn't do it, so he could only follow him into the wine shop next to him. Zhang Qiqi turned around to the back and entered a private room, pushed the door in. I saw more than a dozen men sitting inside, eating and drinking, the table was full of messes, and the sound of fighting wine was deafening.
Seeing Zhang Qi luring Lu Yong in, more than a dozen eyes immediately turned over.
Lu Yong glanced around, and most of them knew that they were all military men in their own wings, and they were not out of the commanders on the left and right. They are all unruly men in this command. Somehow, it got together.
Zhang Qiyi patted Lu Yong: "Do you know Lu Dalang?" Good skills, good skills, good righteousness! There is such a brother, and seven or eight people are not allowed to get close. It's from outside the road again, and it has nothing to do with Chen Wupo's birds. I patted my chest seven to protect it! ”
Lu Yong subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but when he smelled the wine, his legs were a little weak. Thinking in my heart, I ate a few corners of wine, patted my ass and left, what birds want to do?
He was originally a person with a rough personality, and he was too lazy to think about so many and some of them. As soon as Zhang Qi pulled, he sat down half-pushed and half-pushed. A few words of politeness to the people around him, and the best wine in the main store was sifted out. Lu Yong drank it as soon as he took it, the cup was small and his throat was big, and it was not enjoyable. Simply put the wine jug, put the big mouth on the small mouth, and the pot went down. The best mutton in front of him, and the chopsticks are not used, and the local two and a half pairs are grabbed and put in the mouth, and the food is so that the mountain shakes the ground.
The men around him felt that they had the right appetite when they saw Lu Yong like this, and they just laughed when they clapped their hands one by one: "Lu Dalang is really a good man!" Drink and drink! ”
In an instant, Lu Yong poured three or four corners of wine, and it was rare that Zhang Qi invited wine this time, but the store did not mix it with water. I didn't drink in the camp for a long time, and the amount was narrow, so I felt a little dizzy. I just feel more and more excited.
At this time, Zhang Qiyi pulled Lu Yong, gritted his teeth and asked, "Da Lang, do you want to go to Hedong to die?" ”
As soon as Lu Yong looked at it in surprise, he saw that the eyes of those soldiers were all cast over, and some people even reached into their arms, not knowing what they were touching.
Straight lady thief, this cheap wine really has a bad time! (To be continued......)
PS: I didn't expect to have two more!
