Chapter 54: The Right Army

Wang Liben squinted at the wild goose high above, and felt a little unbelieving in his heart.

This is not to mention the distance of 200 paces, and it is a vertical upward shot, Wang Li asked himself if it was himself, he might not be able to do it. I don't say anything at the moment, just a smile on my chin.

Han Xin took a deep breath, stared at it for a moment, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow flew out, and there was a mournful cry and fluttering sound of geese in the air, and then fell to the ground.

Wang Li looked at the situation and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the feather arrow actually pierced the body of a wild goose, and shot down another wild goose above in a row.

Although Wang Li is not good at archery in the Northern Army, his ability to shoot arrows and geese is unprecedented.

"Okay." Wang Li clapped his hands and praised, looking at Han Xin's gaze with a little more approval, "It's really good archery." ”

Win Ke cheered happily, stepped forward and pulled Han Xin's arm happily, with a smile on his face.

"Your name is Han Shin, right?" Wang Li already knew Han Xin's name from Ying Kena.

"Back to the big handsome, it's down there."

Wang Li looked at ease when he saw Han Xin's answer, he was respectful and not afraid of him, the marshal of the Northern Army, and his demeanor was also very decent, which was quite in line with his heart, and he appreciated Han Xin a little more in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Han Xin, the Northern Army is the elite of Great Qin, and the promotion and transfer are based on military merits and qualifications, if you want to follow Rong, I can only make you a Quhou at most, are you willing?" ”

Han Xin was overjoyed, this Qu Hou was a middle-level officer in the Qin army, and there would be more than a thousand soldiers under him. Han Xin is just a nameless boy who has just joined the army, and Wang Li can treat him so kindly, which shows that he has a heart to cultivate him and accept him as a confidant.

Han Xin bowed deeply to the end, "Xie Dashuai, Han Xin must live up to the expectations of Dashuai." ”

Wang Li stroked his beard lightly, and smiled slightly when he heard this, he really had the intention to cultivate this young man. Wang Li saw that he was strong in martial arts, so he moved the idea of accepting him as a confidant, Han Xin knew too much, if he couldn't accept his henchmen, he could only kill him. Xu Xuan said with a straight face: "Although you were recommended by my Wang Li, the Northern Army has always respected military merits, so when you get to the army, what kind of achievements you can achieve can only rely on yourself, and I will never interfere." ”

Han Xin arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Han Xin will not insult the tiger power of the handsome." ”

Wang Li laughed, then summoned his own soldiers and ordered him to take Han Xin to report in the army. Win was a little reluctant to Han Xin, pulled his sleeve tightly, and forced Han Xin to promise to come to see him from time to time before letting him go.

When Han Xin's back was getting farther away, Wang Li glanced at Ying Ke, who was still watching, and suddenly said softly; "Ke'er, you can just tell your uncle about these things, don't tell anyone else. You stay with your uncle first, remember, don't tell others your identity, just say that it is a distant niece of my Wang family, called Wang Ke. ”

Although the Northern Army has a large army of 300,000, most of them are soldiers, stationed in the eight counties of the Northland, and are under the command of the county captains. The official system of the border counties is slightly different from that of the Central Plains counties, which are respected by the county guards and supplemented by the county lieutenants. Most of the border counties are sparsely populated and mainly garrisoned by large armies, so the power of the county lieutenant here is much greater than that of the county guard, who is only responsible for some civil and logistical supplies.

The county lieutenant usually guards his own county, and in wartime, he commands the garrisons of each county to cooperate with the army, so there are many infantry.

Of the 300,000 troops of the Northern Army, 160,000 were soldiers, which belonged to the eight counties. The remaining 140,000 troops are divided into five battalions, front, rear, left, right, and center, which belong to the direct command of the commander and four deputy generals, and are used as mobile combat forces, so there are many cavalry.

Han Xin was placed under the command of the right general, Jing Jun. Jing Jun's background is somewhat similar to Wang Li, and he is also a disciple of the general, and was appreciated by the First Emperor and transferred to the deputy general of the Northern Army, but his qualifications are much older than Wang Lixiang, and the First Emperor came to the Northern Army in the 28th year, and also participated in the 33rd year of the First Emperor's huge war against the Xiongnu, and his military achievements were outstanding.

Jing Jun was the closest to Wang Li in the Northern Army, because he was very optimistic about Wang Li's future. As soon as he was born, he had a dazzling aura of life experience, and he was able to be appreciated by His Majesty, and when he was in his early twenties, he was ranked Jiuqing. After Meng Tian was dismissed, Wang Li took over, and Jing Jun became closer and closer to Wang Li, thinking that he was the first to look forward to everything, and he could be regarded as Wang Li's first confidant in the Northern Army.

The right army is one of the main battle corps in the Northern Army, and Jing Jun is Wang Li's left arm and right arm, which shows that Wang Li did not treat Han Xin badly.

Han Xin had completed some cumbersome formalities, and when he arrived at the camp of the Right Army, it was already past noon, two hours later. Jing Jun was not in the camp when he was out on patrol, and as his right general, he would not lower his value to show favor to Han Xin, a little Quhou. Therefore, Wang Li's personal soldiers did not lead Han Xin to the tent on the march, but directly went to find Xi Da, the military marquis of the fifth battalion of the right army.

Xi Da is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, not tall but powerful, and looks like a standard old Qin person.

He was born into a destitute military family, and his father was killed in the Battle of Changping. Most of the military service in Daqin was conscription, both for adult men to serve every few years or every time there was a big war, and they would be discharged and returned to the field as soon as the war was over, and Xi Da was a small number of professional soldiers who were similar to the mercenary style of later generations.

Since he joined the army at the age of seventeen, he has been serving for nearly 20 years now, and Xi Da has gradually been promoted to the position of marquis of the Northern Army by accumulating military merits. A son from a road-breaking military family, Xi Da was already quite satisfied with being able to get this position, so he became more and more respectful to Shangguan.

As soon as he saw that Han Xin was brought by the marshal's own soldiers, Xi Da came up very enthusiastically to greet him, helped Han Xin finish some copywriting for the entry, and then very affectionately pulled Han Xin around to familiarize himself with the military camp.

Although Xi Da is the kind of relatively straightforward Guan Long man, he has been in the army for many years, so he naturally knows some sophistication. He saw that Han Xin took the position of Quhou at a young age, and it was Wang Li's pro-army who led him to report, so he must have a great background, so he was very enthusiastic about Han Xin. Moreover, Qu Hou is also one of his important subordinates, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with him for both public and private purposes.

The battalion led by Xi Da was one of the nine battalions of the right army, with a total army of about 3,200 people, divided into three songs, and the second song that Han Xin was about to lead was one of them.

A month ago, Jing Jun led the right battalion to follow Wang Li to the north to expel the Xiongnu, and encountered the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. Xi Da also lost nearly a quarter of this one, and one of them, Qu Hou, was killed in battle, so there will be a vacancy for Han Xin to take the top.

In view of the large casualties of the right battalion, Wang Li let the rear battalion replace the right battalion, and Jing Jun took the right battalion back to the Fushi camp to rest and recuperate, and replenish the troops from the reserve army.

Along the way, Xi Da enthusiastically introduced to Han Xin: "The Right Army is one of the main combat corps of the Northern Army, which is divided into nine battalions, including four cavalry battalions, four infantry battalions, and one general's personal battalion. ”

"Oh." Han Xin was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Buying?" Aren't the Huns on the steppe all cavalry coming and going like the wind, how can the infantry battalion catch up with them? ”

Xi Da smiled and said: "You don't know this, the infantry battalion of the Northern Army is different from the infantry of the Central Plains, they usually follow the army on horseback, and the equipment is placed on the accompanying carriage, and in case of battle, they dismount and set up camp." ”

Han Xin nodded, 'oh', Xi Da pointed to a group of cavalry that was practicing in the school training ground not far away, and said, "That is the cavalry battalion in my Northern Army." ”

I saw that nearly 1,000 elite horsemen were practicing riding and archery in the school training ground, and a large group of knights were galloping around the school training ground, and dozens of straw men in the middle were already densely packed with arrow feathers.

Although the crossbow occupied an important position in the Qin army, it was widely used in the war of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and the northern drive of the Xiongnu. But the crossbow also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is difficult to manufacture and not easy to maintain, and in the pursuit of the cavalry of the Huns on the steppe, the crossbow is far less brilliant than the previous achievements. Therefore, there are few crossbows in the cavalry battalion, and most of them are used by the infantry battalion, and the corresponding requirements for cavalry and archery are much higher.

Xi Da saw that Han Xin seemed to be very interested in the cavalry, so he stopped and carefully introduced to Han Xin the various situations of the cavalry camp and the combat methods. didn't notice that some knights on the school training ground slowly stopped and gathered together, looking at Xi Da and Han Xin.

A black-faced man gently touched a handsome white-looking young man next to him with his hand, and said, "Look, isn't that the military marquis Xi Da of the fifth battalion, why is he pointing at our third battalion there, what does he want to do?" ”

The white young man's face was a little unkind, he squinted his eyes, snorted heavily, and said, "How do I know." After speaking, his eyes rolled around, and a few evil smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Stone, why don't we tease them in the past?" ”

"I remember the last time I was in the Victory Restaurant, Wu Xie of the Fifth Battalion beat us miserably with a lot of people, and today I just happened to look for the bad luck of their military marquis."

The stone hesitated a little after hearing this, and said; "That's not good, Xi Da is also our superior, he is a military marquis, we are just Quhou, if he is a prisoner, I am afraid that the young general will not be able to say. I think it's better to forget it, Ding Feng,"

Ding Feng swept him and snorted; "Who told you that we were going to offend him directly, we are practicing normal martial arts. Besides, with the major general here, we are afraid of what Xi Da will do. Even if he is a military marquis, can he still manage the affairs of our three battalions? ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi nodded, and also felt that it made sense, and his heart suddenly became lively. He was originally a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth and liked to cause trouble, but being provoked by Ding Feng like this made him feel itchy.

Han Xinzheng listened to Xi Da's explanation with great interest, and suddenly noticed a movement in the distance, his eyelids jumped, and his eyes swept behind Xi Da. Xi Da also felt that there was something wrong after his birth, and he only heard the sound of people stepping on their horses approaching, so he turned around.

This time, there were nearly hundreds of horsemen rushing towards this side, and the distance of just dozens of steps was instantaneous, and there was no intention of stopping the horse.

was trampled by the galloping horse team, even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured, Rao is Xi Da had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was so frightened that he turned pale in a hurry, and almost screamed out of his voice.

PS: Hehe, there is a recommendation that is different, the results of these days are more than my original two weeks, alas, it's a pity that I don't recommend it next week.
