At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already come out and shouted: "What are you doing!" If it doesn't work, something will be reported to Ben Shuai. ”

Only then did everyone put away their weapons and fierce faces, and Wang Fuchen said: "Inspector Yuan, the camp arranged for us by the Chinese army is really uninhabitable, and I ask the supervisor to order a change of place." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said dissatisfied: "The army pays attention to uniformity, it is impossible for everyone to take care of the big camp, just such a little place, if everyone wants to occupy a good terrain and set up camp, it is not chaotic, if there is anything in the future, don't overstep the level and report to the enemy, at present, Ben Shuai and General Liu have no time to care about these trivial things of you, you don't understand the rules when you first arrive, forget it this time, forget it next time, the noisy handsome account will be cut and scattered." ”

Yuan Chonghuan seemed to be angry, ignoring Liu Ziguang and entering the handsome account, Wang Fuchen snorted angrily: "You are not allowed to skip the level to report, so who should we contact for the affairs of the forward battalion?" ”

A flag officer of the Western Army said proudly: "The forward battalion has been assigned to our General Liu Bing to control it. ”

Liu Zongmin said to Wang Fuchen: "Yuan Dashuai has ordered the forward battalion to return to Tongguan, and the battalion will be dispatched before entering the camp, and then rush to make trouble. After speaking, he bowed his hand to Liu Ziguang, which seemed to be apologizing for the conflict just now, and it seemed to be provoking.

Liu Ziguang said: "Since General Wang said that the camp cannot be occupied, it must not be fabricated out of thin air, why don't you go to inspect the camp, if they deliberately make trouble, it will not be too late to deal with it by military law." ”

Liu Zongmin wanted to refute but couldn't help but said: "Then the last general will accompany the general to take a look." ”

Wang Fuchen led everyone to a pond to the west of the camp and said, "This is the camp that the Chinese army arranged for us!" ”

Everyone looked over, only to see that the pond was low-lying, with rotten grass and vegetable leaves floating on it, and the roofs of several tents could be faintly seen, and there was a foul smell permeating the roof, which was clearly the place where the entire camp was used to discharge sewage and flood water, presumably it was not the pond that was flooded by a rainstorm last night.

Wang Fuchen said indignantly to Liu Ziguang: "Boss, look at it, this is the camp they have prepared for the forward battalion!" It's not a place for people to live. ”

Liu Zongmin said angrily: "It's like this when marching and fighting, if you don't feel comfortable, go home and drill into the crotch of the old lady." As long as you're still a soldier of the Western Army, you'll have to live here for me!" What's wrong with the pond, it's not the same when it drains up, and the old men didn't complain about it when they climbed the soldiers and lay in the snow. ”

Wang Fuchen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Ziguang, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Tell the brothers to drain the water, carry the soil and raise the ground, and set up camp." ”

After a long time of experience in the court, Liu Ziguang already knows the way of power, although he is carrying the brand of the general of the expedition to the west, but when he first arrived here, he was not familiar with the place, and there was an old superior, who wanted to grab the class and seize power, it was impossible to fight bravely, provoke the struggle with the western army, and it was even more unwise, people clearly want to deal with you, don't you play the handle to others, now you can only do endure! Wait for your own large army to arrive, and then make an appearance to show this group of Western troops what the Red Shirts are.

The marshal had all spoken, and Wang Fuchen couldn't say much, so he could only endure his anger and beckoned the soldiers to come and work, but the poor brothers of the forward battalion were drenched in the rain all night, and they didn't even mix a hot soup with a hot soup, so they had to work a hungry stomach, and the military orders were like mountains, no matter how hard and tired they were, they could only endure it.

Liu Ziguang called Zhou Peigong again and confessed a few words, which was nothing more than to maintain unity and forbearance, and nodded again and again for Zhou Peigong, saying yes, but Wang Fuchen, who had a hot temper, couldn't help but say: "What should I do if the handsome man can't bear it?" ”

Liu Ziguang paused, stared at Wang Fuchen's eyes, and said: "Now what you have experienced is not enough treatment, Ben Shuai feels that it is completely bearable, you don't pretend to be a red shirt army now, just think of yourself as a recruit of the Western Army, of course, it is so unbearable that you don't need to endure the fight anymore, you should make trouble, and the marshal bears it, but there is one thing that you are not allowed to lose!" Did you write it down? ”

Wang Fuchen's chest rose and fell, and Liu Ziguang's words obviously gave him great confidence: "Remember! ”

Solved the problem of camping, Liu Ziguang took three hundred soldiers to follow Yuan Chonghuan into the city, to the west is Tongguan City, a strong city, between the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River, controlling the exit of the Guanzhong Plain, this city and Shanhaiguan have similarities, are surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous, Liu Ziguang entered the city, Yuan Inspector has already prepared the official residence for him, and even the three hundred personal guards have arranged a clean and comfortable barracks, as well as hot and fragrant mutton steamed buns waiting for them.

After the feast of receiving the wind and washing the dust, Yuan Chonghuan led Liu Ziguang to the city to wait and see, Tongguan to the west is a long valley area, at a glance, there is no trace of the past, only a group of crows hovering in the sky, Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the west and said: "There is the camp of the Xixia people, since the last time the governor in the city defense greatly injured their vitality, they have not dared to invade the border for a month." ”

The city wall was rebuilt during the Hongwu period, and later strengthened several times, although it can not be compared with Beijing and Nanjing, but it is also tall and majestic, and can be called a majestic pass, Liu Ziguang noticed that there are many places at the mouth of the city wall, the color of the bricks is different, obviously it was repaired later, it seems that there must have been many fierce battles here.

Liu Ziguang picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, except for the dead skeleton on the side of the road in the distance, he didn't see anything, it was early spring, but there was not even a trace of green in this valley, and his eyes were full of desolate earthy yellow.

"What are the characteristics of the Tangut people fighting wars?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"The Western Xia people are similar to the army of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, divided into several levels of troops, there are the emperor's guard's cowardly Xue army, well-equipped chain mail and Western Regions horses, as well as ordinary light cavalry, Mongolian horses and scimitars, bows and arrows, combat power is only slightly inferior to the cowardly Xue army, but it has been able to reach the level of the Manchu Eight Banners Brigade, in addition to artillery soldiers and foot soldiers, these horses are numerous and complex, there are various ethnic groups in the Western Regions to descend the army, organized into Turkic people, The Arabs are not a minority, of course, there are also some Han people, whether it is a field battle or a siege and defense of the city, the Xixia people have a set of return artillery, building cars, rushing cars, fire oil tanks, are very skillful, it is really a difficult enemy to deal with. ”

Liu Ziguang sneered: "It sounds very powerful, but now the times have changed, in front of the artillery of my Celestial Empire army, all this is scum." ”

Yuan Chonghuan wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he still patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder and said in the tone of an elder: "Ziguang, the last is to underestimate the enemy." ”

Liu Ziguang shrugged his shoulders and continued to look west with the clairvoyant mirror, and suddenly a human head appeared in the clairvoyant mirror, and then the head slowly rose into a man and a horse, full of exotic pointed helmets and iron mesh woven chain mail, dusty cloaks and high-headed horses, Liu Ziguang was startled and turned the direction to look over, after this ride passed, the entire horizon appeared in the same dress of cavalry, black pressing.

At this time, the lookout post on the arrow tower next to it also appeared, and the enemy shouted while knocking on the bang: "The Tangut people are coming." A large number of soldiers rushed up to the city wall, each in place, the cannons adjusted the angle, the bed crossbow stirred the bowstring, the firebolts lined up, and the soldiers lined up in a row in the sound of the small flag, collectively charged and loaded the bullets, and the action was also skillful, and it seemed that they had dealt with the Xixia people many times.

There were more and more cavalry on the horizon, lined up in three columns, about 10,000 people, and then there were brigades of foot soldiers, all kinds of flags fluttering in the air, looking at the past from a distance, chaotic but murderous, tens of thousands of horses drove from the wilderness, the momentum was frightening, Liu Ziguang looked back at his subordinates, the senior students of the martial arts hall looked nervous, their lips were dry, and their fingers trembled slightly, but their eyes were still shining.

"Are you scared? It's normal to be afraid, Lao Tzu was also afraid when he faced the Qing army for the first time, but he was afraid of killing them, losing his armor and losing his armor, he was two arms against a head, and he would die if he went in, who was afraid of whom, today, even if you met Yuan Inspector, he said that the Xixia people did not come to make trouble for more than a month, and today you will come to join in the fun on the first day you arrive, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let you see the real city defense war. ”

In the end, Liu Ziguang still cared for these academy elites and future staff officers, and did not let them pick up the firearms and stand on the front line to fight, but followed behind him and watched the battle with a clair-mile mirror.

The enemy army is getting closer and closer, and can clearly see their clothing through the clairvoyant mirror, the cavalry is mostly iron net, chain mail and pointed iron helmets with nose protection, with small round shields and scimitar bows and arrows, some of the infantry wear iron helmets, some of them wrap their heads with cloth, their clothes are colorful, they have weapons, and they are also relatively monotonous, there are no tasseled spears and scimitar shields, and then there are a large number of bows and arrows that are slanted on the body, this kind of bow is not a recurve bow of the Central Plains style, but a single bow up to five feet long.

The Western Xia army walked to a place a stone's throw away from Tongguan City, and a person came out of the queue, and muttered for a while in a language that he didn't know where, and then someone translated in Chinese with an obvious accent: "Yuan Dashuai, we came to get the silver according to the agreement, I hope this time we won't let us down." ”
