Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Army Assembles
Not to mention, the Donglin envoy went to Licheng to invite the old wolf to send troops together At this time, Donglin City was in the city. Xiao Chen and the ministers had just made an agenda for the army to go to the southeast, and after a while, several heralds ran out. The general Wu Feng, Wang Ping, Luo Cheng, Du Dazhuang, and Zhang Jian immediately left the main hall and went to the barracks.
Zhang Xu, Zhao Long and others stayed behind to guard the four cities of Donglin City to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.
In the barracks, the heralds rode fast horses in order to drive quickly, and shouted loudly in the barracks of Nuoda: "The king has an order, the army is assembled, and then it will go to war!" After hearing the herald's shout, the little soldiers who were still playing their own games immediately put on leather armor and took weapons under the command of the commander and the sentry officer.
After that, the five hundred soldiers of each battalion lined up at great speed under the command of the battalion officer. Then, run directly to the school field outside the barracks.
20,000 soldiers, a total of 40 battalions, under the leadership of more than 40 battalion officers, like a long dragon. The company grew into a long slip, and the endless ran forward, marching to the vicinity of the school grounds. After arriving at the school ground, each battalion officer arranged his own 500 subordinates to form a large formation of 200 men and 100 people in cooperation with the dozens of battalions around him.
At this time, Xiao Chen was in the backyard of his house, quietly waiting for Concubine Xiang and Concubine Min to put on their armor. Khan, in fact, it is not so troublesome, but the two beauties are not shouting, what kind of king goes out to fight, and the concubines wear armor for the king. Xiao Chen thought about it, forget it, let these two girls help him put on his armor.
Concubine Min held the heavy fish scale armor in both hands, walked in front of Xiao Chen, opened the armor, and put it directly on Xiao Chen's upper body. And Concubine Xiang in the back took the armor, tied the rope buckle on the back of the armor tightly, and said softly: "King, this royal expedition must be careful!" ”
Xiao Chen suddenly held Concubine Xiang's little tender hand, and said with a smile: "My little Xiangyun, don't worry, don't look at who I am, who can kill me with Luo Cheng, hehe"
"And, Sister Xiang, don't worry about the king. With the husband's temperament, he will definitely drill back as soon as the war starts. Besides, with an army of 20,000, it will not be his turn to fight with a knife! In order to brush up on her sense of existence, Concubine Min struck Xiao Chen very harshly.
Xiao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, Nima, what kind of wife is this, is there a woman who talks about her man like this? Forget it, adults don't care about children, Concubine Min is still young, well, still young Although it is said that the speed at which the two concubines help themselves put on their armor is not slow, but Xiao Chen is still full of complaints. Nai Nai Di Bear, let the master stand for so long before he got it. It's better for the master to directly let the system help wear it, in a word, a few seconds of work is enough, which is like now, after wearing it for ten minutes, it is estimated that the group of soldiers in the school field are scolding themselves again.
Not to mention, wearing a suit of armor, Xiao Chen looked even more handsome. I thought that I couldn't find out where Luo Cheng was, although the mere fish scale armor made people gasp a little tired, but in order to be handsome and convenient to talk to a woman from a good family about various problems, I put up with it.
Dense fish scale-like carapaces spread all over the body. He wore a leather belt made of lion on his waist, Yunlu boots on his feet, and a purple and gold helmet on his head. Coupled with that slightly handsome face, a young and handsome little general appeared. At least, Concubine Min's girl is looking at it in a straight tone, no, what is this drooling, it should be full of little stars.
Bringing up a spear that Concubine Xiang selected from the treasury, she played with a gun handsomely, and it felt good. Who knew that a word of discord would be ushered in immediately afterwards.
"King, this is not how the gun flower is played, I will teach you when I have time, otherwise I will lose face if I save it." Concubine Xiang looked at Xiao Chen's four different guns, hurriedly corrected her mistakes, and was ashamed to teach Xiao Chen.
But Xiao Chen's face suddenly darkened, okay. The master admits that my brother is just curious, and he plays casually, not a gun-pulling flower.
In the end, in the reluctant gaze of the second daughter, Xiao Chen also reluctantly took the reins of the horse in Xiao Dezi's hand. I wanted to jump down and jump directly on the back of the little lion in the night. Who knows, in the past few months, this little lion doesn't know what to eat, and now he is taller than Xiao Chen.
Speechless again, he looked at the little lion in the night and compared his height, well, he definitely won't be able to jump. I had no choice but to let Xiao Dezi support myself, and I was stunned to get on the horse, sit on the saddle, and then run away without looking back.
Woo woo woo was going to take a second look at my concubine! You dead horse, labor and management just came up, you actually ran straight away, Tainyima pit masters!
Fortunately, Xiao Chen has brought the little lion back to school a lot before, and he finally didn't get lost, so he was really lucky. When I came to the colonel's grounds, the 20,000 troops who had been arranged to go out had already been assembled. The super phalanx that could not be seen at a glance, a warrior with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, mentioned that the one holding the Ge stood there without moving. The densely erected Changge makes people look terrifying, and the thick and wide infantry shields give people a super sense of security.
In the school field, the flag was dignified, and 20,000 soldiers in armor knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly after seeing their boss arrive: "Welcome to my king, long live my king!" ”
Xiao Chen clasped his ears twice with his little thumb very lightly, Nima, dare not be so loud, and I am not afraid of shouting out my voice. Twenty thousand people shouted in unison, even if everyone snorted, it was an earth-shattering existence, not to mention that now every bastard is dead and screaming.
Anyway, Xiao Chen almost didn't die on the spot, and it is estimated that the people in the city are also very unhappy. After all, 20,000 people in the early morning are screaming in the city, not just to disturb people's morning exercises.
Riding a small white horse, followed by a few guards, he came to the point in front of the military formation.
"All the soldiers are flat!" Xiao Chen roared loudly, and first the soldiers closest to Xiao Chen heard it and stood up. Then, when the soldiers in the back saw the ones in front of them get up, they also got up very consciously. Well, it's actually still a rabble. When you kneel down on one knee, it's still neater, but when you are flat, it's like a wave, and you get up one after another.
"Ahem, today, the world is in chaos, and smoke is everywhere. The princes were fighting, and the people of all the tribes were miserable. But fortunately, I smiled at the sky, and I got dozens of good ministers and generals, and thousands of warriors. He was able to break three cities and collect the people of four cities. At present, 200,000 people are living in good health, and there is no way to go. However, in the southeast of my Donglin City, there are still countless people, who are still surviving under the rule of the cruel tyrant. ”
"Brothers, my mighty men, say that we ought not to fight against the princes of all walks of life for the sake of the afflicted people. Save the people from fire and water, and save the city from the smoke? ”
"Save the people from fire and water, and save the city from smoke!"
"Save the people from fire and water, and save the city from smoke!"
Listening to the wolf howls of the tens of thousands of listeners below, Xiao Chen was so excited! It seems that this king is still very popular with the people, and the morale of the army is available.
As for the generals standing behind Xiao Chen, they were all speechless. Saving the people from fire and water? Now the people of that city are still hungry. Saving the city in Fengyan is even more fart, since you want to save the city in Fengyan, why do you have to send a large army to conquer. This oath master, why does it sound so light, this king is too, he doesn't even fight grass, he just screams indiscriminately.
But well, war, we still like it very much. Although the oath is not very good, it is very passionate and very exciting!
"Haha, good! The morale of the brothers is very high! Now I declare: the great army is on the march! Grab food, grab money, grab your daughter-in-law! Xiao Chen laughed loudly a few times and shouted.
Yes, the faces of the generals behind them were even darker. Originally, the oath was not good, but now it is like this again. The big-headed soldiers below, no matter what the oath is, it is the last words of their own boss, which completely ignites the passion of this group of Qiu Ba.
A group of hiccups shouted more than a dozen times in unison. Then, under the constraints of the battalion officers, they slowly marched towards the south city gate.
The first destination was Kells City, this time, Xiao Chen was not stupid and walked at the front of the team. I didn't know before, but now I know what's going on, and if I run forward, I'm losing face in front of this group of Qiu Ba. Therefore, Xiao Chen honestly stayed in the Chinese army, shouting Wu Feng, Wang Ping, and Luo Cheng, and chatted together.
Along the way, everywhere the army went, there were no people. There's no way, there is not a single family in the wild set up by the system, and all the population has returned to the city. Maybe a system update will change that later.
Majestic, high-spirited! Two thousand cavalry led the way, and a group of infantry behind them began to spray without worry. Squirted everything, including whoever got into his sister-in-law's room last night and had a good night's fun. Or maybe someone's little kid did something bad yesterday.
Xiao Chen couldn't figure it out, didn't this group of Qiu Ba stay in the barracks all the time? How could you know so much gossip, and even the little daughter-in-law of his mother's family took a bath and sprayed it like the real thing. Alas, it's worthy of spraying, and it's really limitless spraying.
The army marched slowly in a long line, and finally arrived at Kells City before lunch. At this time, the army had just reached the north gate of the city of Kells. Xiao Chen saw an unknown young general, leading a thousand elite soldiers guarding the city, and flat-headed people on both sides of the road, who were estimated to have been forcibly pulled over, standing on both sides of the city gate. What kind of flowers, grass, and so on in their hands?
As soon as the army walked in, a group of ordinary people vigorously waved the flowers and plants in their hands, and shouted: "Long live the king!" Long live the King! "Nima, why does the master feel so like a send-off. Welcome the army, is there such a welcome with flowers and plants in their hands? I really don't understand anything!
Turning his head to look at the generals around him, all of them had black faces. Especially Wang Ping, not only did his face darken, but his mouth was crooked. Where would Wang Ping have thought that such a thing would happen.
A while ago, his own boss summoned him back to Donglin City, and he picked a good young future to defend the city instead of him. Originally, looking at that young general, not only was he handsome, but his brain was not funny. What's going on now, I haven't seen you for a few days, this kid is in the water in his brain, or is he caught in the door panel? I was stunned to make the welcome ceremony a final ceremony, which made Ben mix up in front of the boss.
In the end, after Xiao Chen saw this young general again, he took a few soldiers and ruffians around him and beat the stupid hat fiercely. Then, he was dismissed directly, and it was okay if he didn't cut off his head.
Xiao Chen took a few bigwigs to a restaurant in the city, and after eating and drinking, he returned to the military camp outside the city. The military camp inside the city was too small, and the 20,000-strong army had to stay outside the city and set up camp. You must know that the large camp in Donglin City can only accommodate 20,000 troops after several expansions.
After entering the barracks, the 20,000 soldiers had just started their meal. After politely refusing the invitation of a few veterans to eat together along the way, Xiao Chen listened to the full belly and came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, several foodies, all patting their round bellies and burping. Sitting in a chair, four pairs of eyes looked at each other, and no one spoke. Because, everyone has nothing to say.
Well, a few people felt like they were looking at each other, and they had nothing to say, so they all closed their eyelids slightly and slowly enjoyed the warmth after the meal.
After lunch, the 20,000 troops in the barracks began to go about their own business. The recruits continued to face the sun and started new training, and the veterans took a shower bare-chested, gambled, rode a pony and walked the bend, and dried their clothes. That laid-back feeling is envious when I look at a group of hard-trained soldiers.
As a result, the recruits trained harder. One by one, they worked hard to learn the skills of surviving on the battlefield, and then dreamed of becoming a veteran, watching the next wave of recruits train hard, and they began to enjoy a comfortable barracks life.
In this way, there was a scene of prosperity in the barracks, as well as a scene of the Manchu Dynasty*. Well, this group of veterans is really too unpleasant, and they will have to be rectified in two days.
At this time, in Licheng, Xiao Chen's envoy also rode a fast horse and came to the palace of Licheng.
After being reported by the soldiers guarding the palace, the Donglin envoy, who was tired like a dead dog, finally entered the palace of his allies. is also about to meet the boss of Li Cheng, and at the same time, he must also let the old wolf send his army to his own army to Kells City, preparing to form an alliance and march south together.
The envoy of Donglin City, led by a guard, walked on the long staircase, thinking about what to say. In case, this boss of Li Cheng is unwilling to send troops, then after he goes back, he will have to be thrown into prison if he is not beheaded. Therefore, for the sake of your own future, you still have to think carefully
The boss of Donglin City was patting his belly leisurely, the Donglin envoy was sorting out the thoughts of the meeting for a while, and the old wolf was thinking, what was the one from Donglin City doing to find him
