Guo Dong was very excited today, and he was still tossing and turning at night when he was excited.

Of course, Xu An, who was sleeping beside him, knew why he was like this, and it wasn't because he saw Uncle Hirano during the day?

Xu An was not as excited as Guo Dong, because he was not a Yan person.

For the Yan people, worshipping Uncle Hirano is an inevitability.

The imperial court needs to create a hero;

And Uncle Hirano, he doesn't even have to deliberately beautify it, because his record and his deeds are really taken out, and they look even more beautiful than what others have beautified.

In Meng Shou's words, it is to add color.

Xu An doesn't like Yanren very much, because in Yingdu, Yanren are always superior.

The merchants of the Yan people, the soldiers of the Yan people, the officials of the Yan people, and even the Yan people who migrated from the Yan land to settle the land, their eyes always carried an extremely clear arrogance.

When the godfather was drunk once, he scolded and scolded these Yan people for looking at them as if they were looking at inferior people.

Then, the godfather cried again, crying and saying that if these Yan people hadn't come over at the beginning, they, the Jin people, wouldn't even be able to do it.

After sobering up, the godfather said again, this is the way of the world, your fist is bigger than his, and if you subdue him, he will naturally be tougher to you.

When a man comes to our borders, he is a man.

Since ancient times, it has never been heard that the people of a normal country still grovel in the face of people from countries weaker than themselves, and their own people still regard themselves as inferior.

Xu An couldn't understand many of the godfather's words, but there was one thing he could understand, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Yan Ren's arrogance, just like the godfather looked down on the leaders of several other Lifu gangs after a few group fights, which was very natural.

But if you don't worship it, you don't worship it, and after learning that his family was assigned to this uncle, he was quite satisfied.

From what Yingdu gathered here again, what he saw and heard, and then Guo Dong's story about how they came here from the ancient county of Yan Kingdom, Xu An knew that here, the food should be the best.

Before, Xu An was still wondering why his gang didn't bring grain and grass when they came here.

Now, he understood, because the grain would be brought in from the snow customs.

Xu An couldn't help but think of his godfather, who once said that the official in charge of his own Lifu gang can be described as a real wealth, and people look down on their filial piety, just to find an errand to do things, even if they don't give filial piety, it is enough to maintain the stability of the market and not have a strong husband to make trouble.

Perhaps, Uncle Hirano is also "wealthy".

Other soldiers and horses rely on the people to transport grain, and he brings his own soldiers to fight.

On the other hand, Xu An knew Uncle Hirano's ability to fight, and there was no soldier who didn't like to fight with the victorious general, and the auxiliary soldiers and the people were no exception.

This night,

Xu An fell asleep thinking about it,

GUO Dong,

then insomnia.

Following

The snare drum sounded.

Xu An immediately got up, and at the same time shook Guo Dong on his side awake.

The two men immediately put on leather armor, took their blades, and quickly rushed out of the tent to assemble.

They are no longer people's husbands, but auxiliaries, full-fledged auxiliaries, who don't have to work anymore, just need to be ready to work hard.

There were five people, and they assembled late.

They were ordered to be arrested by the captain of the Yan people, and each person was whipped with five lashes to set an example.

forthwith

It's drilling.

The big guys lined up and started running and drilling.

The newly established auxiliary corps is not so strict in discipline.

Guo Dong couldn't help but ask Xu An beside him while running;

"What about horses? What about horses? ”

After all, when the Savage Rebellion did not break out in the early years, the snow field was like the back garden of the Jin people, and the horses would be continuously transported into the Jin land from there.

When Guo Dong's group came out of Guxian, they actually brought horses, although most of them were pack horses, but they also had horses that could go to the battlefield, and these horses were carefully cared for along the way.

When needed, it will be rationed to the most skilled young people in Guxian County.

Yandi has always had the tradition of preparing its own armoured horses to march from the king, and in some places, it will also gather the financial and material resources of a village, a town or even a county to match their young and strong with the best war horses and armor, so that they can go to the battlefield to earn military merits;

When the war is over, they will also come back to the village.

After meeting Uncle Hirano yesterday, Guo Dong was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and he was always looking forward to the picture of himself riding a war horse and following Uncle Hirano into battle.

outcome

What about horses,

What about my horse?

Xu An replied;

"Siege mile, where can you use horses."

It was like a basin of cold water, splashed directly on Guo Dong's head.

Halfway through the run, the captain of the team signaled that they could put down their steps and start marching.

When he walked to the outskirts of the camp and was about to go back to eat, Guo Dong saw his father pressed to the ground and whipped by two Yanren armor soldiers.

Guo Dong's eyes widened immediately, it was his father who was beaten!

but

He still didn't dare to go up to stop him, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Guo Dong's father, Guo Dayong, was originally the small leader of the people's husband team in Guxian County, and after the reorganization, he became the management team of an 800 people's husband team.

When the Yanren officers inspected the trench outside the camp, they found that the depth was insufficient, and the angle inside was not dug out according to the requirements, so Guo Dayong was punished for the crime of slackness.

Being whipped is nothing, but it is really humiliating to be whipped in front of so many people and his own men.

Guo Dayong is also a prestigious family in Guxian County, otherwise even if Miss Ashui's family declines, she will not agree to marry her son.

but

Should be beaten or be beaten.

The strict military discipline in the Snow Customs was transplanted into this camp.

After the fight, you have to continue to work, and take your men to renovate the trench, and if you fail to complete it within the time limit, the punishment will be increased.

The auxiliary team returned to the camp, and the quartermaster began to distribute food.

Dry rice, one marinated meat per person, plus a large spoonful of sauce.

It's not very rich, but when you go out, you can have this food standard, it's really okay.

Guo Dong was shedding tears while eating.

"Your dad is fine." Xu An comforted.

"I'm crying for my horse, and I've been waiting for it all the way."

"......" Xu An.

After the meal, the auxiliaries were given shields and began to run back and forth in a line with shields in the open space outside the camp under the leadership of the captain.

This training is more rigorous, and whoever is out of place or slow or fast will eat the whip.

And this extremely boring shield-raising training lasted for three days.

Every day, I get up early, run and exercise, come back from running and drilling, eat, finish eating, raise my shield and start to turn back and run, and change those fixed formations.

Guo Dong is not a hard-working person, but under the spur of the whip, he does not dare to slack off.

In between training, Xu An suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped him,

"Look, over there."

Guo Dong looked over and saw two people standing on the tower over there.

One was dressed in armor, the other in a black tunics.

Although the distance is a bit far, it can be seen that the other party is very cleanly dressed.

There are strict rules in the military village, and there is only one who can dress casually here.

Guo Dong shouted happily:

"Look, Uncle Hirano is watching us there!"

"No noise!"

A soldier came over with a leather whip, but instead of dropping the whip, he kicked Guo Dong.

Then, after the break, when everyone began to practice with their shields raised, it was obvious that their spirits and morale were completely different from before, and everyone used all their strength to complete the training task with the strictest standards, just to satisfy the figure in the distance.

even if

The figure may not have been looking at them at all.

Uncle Zheng really wasn't looking at them, he was peeling oranges, and Liang Cheng was standing next to him.

"Tomorrow, we should be able to gather all kinds of soldiers and horses, right?" Uncle Zheng asked.

In fact, more than 10,000 soldiers have already arrived, Jin Shuke, Ke Yandongge, and Gao Yi have already arrived, Ding Hao and Zuo Jiqian's town soldiers and horses are responsible for staying at the Snow Customs, and Xu Youcheng's part is still on the road.

The reason why Xu Youcheng's part was so slow was because that team was in charge of monitoring and escorting nearly 30,000 savage slave soldiers over.

The 30,000 tribes led by Sang Hu came to vote, but the selection of the right one was just over 10,000, and the siege battle on the snow field before also collected more than 10,000 prisoners of war, and the two sides put together, less than 30,000 people.

In fact, there will be follow-up, because the various departments of the snow field are also required to sacrifice young and strong cattle and sheep, but they are all on the way.

This wave is just the strength that Snow Customs has to invest in the early stage.

Counting up, there are a total of eleven battalions of Yuan Xuehaiguan soldiers, which is almost 16,000 soldiers.

There are 30,000 savage slave soldiers, but fortunately, the composition of these 30,000 people is different, after all, they have fought against each other, so they can restrain each other.

In addition to the two wings of Uncle Zheng's military village, there will also be other Yan and Jin armies stationed, theoretically it is not that Uncle Zheng relies on 16,000 people to guard over 30,000 slaves, but hundreds of thousands of troops around him are helping to watch over them.

In addition, there are more than 6,000 people who have received from Yingdu, and nearly 10,000 people have come out of the Snow Customs.

Among the more than 16,000 people, 6,000 auxiliary soldiers were selected.

If you follow the calculation method of the number of troops that include the people, and then make it whole, Uncle Zheng can completely play the banner of "100,000 troops".

But how to say it, it doesn't make much sense.

After all, now everyone is fighting against soldiers, and next, they have to fight to the death in front of the Chu people's defense system dominated by Zhennan Pass, what is the use of bragging about it?

"Tomorrow should arrive in batches, according to the report of the messenger soldiers, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life should have arrived, the army's food and grass are still sufficient, and the first round of war should be able to begin."

The army is on the front line, plus the chewing of the people's horses, every day, is an astronomical amount, and the grain and grass will never have an absolutely sufficient day, so we must not wait completely stupidly, as long as the food is enough at present, then the battle in front of us will be fought first.

In terms of logistics, I will replenish it while fighting.

Unless Tian Wujing plans to use a method similar to the "Battle of Changping" to compete for national strength;

But this is obviously unrealistic, and the logistical pressure of the Yan army is much greater than that of the Chu people.

"Okay, it is estimated that it will not be long before the account of the Chinese army commander will be ........."

"Report !!!!!!"

A messenger galloped on:

"King Jingnan's order, summon all the generals to listen to the order tomorrow!"

"Look, it's coming."

Uncle Zheng didn't go down to receive the order, but just stood on the tower and waved to the herald.

This seems to be very domineering,

The Great War Ahead,

If other generals dare to treat the commander's order so perfunctorily,

Change to other handsome,

It is estimated that he will have to behead it first to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

But Uncle Zheng is pampered and arrogant, and he also believes that the personal soldier in charge of the order will not chew his tongue when he goes back.

"Look, here, to be honest, fighting under Tian Wujing is quite simple, he likes to mark all the movements and purposes of the soldiers and horses for you, and you will have a clear goal to complete."

Handsome, not everyone can have it.

generals, Dayan is not lacking;

And for the difficulty of being a general and being handsome, the gap is not ordinarily large.

Therefore, on the battlefield, being a "puppet" is actually quite happy, and it is better than letting you go alone and face the complex environment to catch the blind.

"Lord, as his subordinates said at the beginning, his subordinates feel that Tian Wujing's method of using troops can be better played in this kind of positional warfare, he likes to command everything in a stripping away, but it is the kind of roundabout combat of the cavalry corps, and there are too many unknown variables."

"I know that I know, the previous battles were all wronged by Lao Tianbei, hehe.

That's right

You talk about it first, what kind of fighting style has to be in this battle so far, I'm worried that when Ming'er has a meeting, Lao Tian will let me speak first. ”

As the proud protégé of King Jingnan, he naturally enjoys this special treatment.

Therefore, in order not to destroy his image in Tian Wujing's heart, but also to give Tian Wujing a sense of satisfaction and pride in training the next generation of military gods,

Uncle Zheng still habitually goes to the question and then memorizes the answer.

It's not cheating,

It's called a dress rehearsal.

"The Chu people have long been in business and have long been prepared, and this battle will inevitably be protracted, so my subordinates feel that since General Nian Yao has built so many castles and military villages based on Zhennan Pass, then we can let the Chinese army press the formation and resist the main force of the Chu army in Zhennan Pass, and the rest of the troops will take turns to attack a castle or military village;

First, you can pull out the thorns set by the Chu people on the periphery of Zhennan Pass;

Second, it can give the Yan army, which has always been good at field warfare but not good at siege, a good opportunity to exercise. ”

"Hmm, it's over?"

"Dafang, in fact, that's it, Zhennan Pass is there, in fact, both sides of Yan and Chu are playing with open cards, before breaking the game, in fact, both sides have no good opportunities.

It was nothing more than the Yan army attacking to the death, and the Chu army defending to the death. ”

"Wait, wait, Ah Cheng, I believe in you."

"Lord, my subordinates think it should be okay if you elaborate on this at the meeting."

"Not enough."

"Not enough?"

"After the meeting, Tian Wujing will probably leave me and say a few more words, what is the opportunity you said earlier?"

"For the Chu people, it is natural that the logistics of our Yan army are poor, or there is chaos in Yan or Jin, and they have to retreat, at this time, the Chu army has a lot to do.

As far as our army is concerned, after all, we are the attacking party, and since it is the attacking party, it must still be able to occupy the initiative, and when the thorns outside Zhennan Pass are pulled out, we can try to attack Zhennan Pass.

Don't seek to break through Zhennan Pass first, but you can try to push down the two large military villages on the east and west sides of Zhennan Pass.

In fact, the so-called checkpoints, just like our original Shengle City and the current Snow Customs, the effect of the checkpoint depends on its radiation range.

Once our army can clean up the area around Zhennan Pass, make Zhennan Pass an isolated city, and reduce its radiation influence to a minimum, then our army can divide its troops and attack and bypass Zhennan Pass into Chu.

Whether to break its grain route or harass its place, forcing the army in Zhennan Guanli to come to the aid of the battle, the initiative is still in our hands. ”

"Oh, I see, I see."

Uncle Zheng crossed his waist and nodded.

"By the way, I remember that Ming'er reminded me to take the "Siege Rules" that I asked the blind man to write and print, and I can send it at the meeting."

"Yes, Lord."

Snow Customs has always had a beautiful landscape, that is, the blind man lights the lamp, the blind man reads the letter and the blind man writes the book.

"The closest to us should be the Suicheng of the Chu people, right?"

"Yes, Lord, it's actually just a castle, and the defenders should be less than 10,000."

"What's going on with the Chu people?"

"There are some impulsive meanings, although they know that their side is the main guard, but when they think about it, they still hope to do something, which is not something that General Nian Yao can decide and control.

In the past few days, the small cavalry of the Chu people has been biting with our sentinels, and it is obvious that they are not willing to be turtles with shrunken heads from the beginning.

Our people and sentinels, these days, there are also some casualties. ”

"In my name, inform the friendly troops on both wings, and make overall arrangements for everyone's respective sentinels, they should give me this face."

"My subordinates feel that after tomorrow's meeting, the friendly forces on the left and right wings, Tian Wujing should be handed over to you to co-ordinate, after all, on the northeast side, there are only three of us soldiers and horses."

"Well, I'll ask Ming'er."

………

After dark,

Guo Dong and Xu An began to pick blisters on each other's shoulders, which were sharpened from practicing shields these days.

"Shhh

Guo Dong shouted.

"Don't you have pads? Useless? ”

The day before yesterday, Guo Dayong sent his son a leather pad to tie to his shoulders and several other places.

As a father, he still feels sorry for his son.

"That thing is tied to death, I'm useless."

"Well, there's no need to use it, if you grind it for a while, you will have calluses."

Then

A soldier came over, lifted the tent, and said:

"Guo Dong, there are your villagers looking for you in the outer camp."

"Okay, I got it."

After the armor soldier left, Guo Dong immediately said to Xu An with a smile;

"It must be my father who came to bring us food, he has been cutting wood in the outer woods with people for the past few days, and he can often come back from hunting to make tooth sacrifices, waiting for Ah Anzi, we can add dinner again tonight."

Xu An smiled and nodded.

A quarter of an hour later,

Guo Dong lifted the curtain,

Standing at the mouth of the tent in a trance.

Xu An asked:

"What's wrong?"

Guo Dong suddenly cried:

"Anzi, my father, my father is gone, my father is gone!"

I have to have classes in the morning for these two weeks, which has led to a squeeze on the update time, but fortunately, the class is almost over, and I will be on a shift tonight, a little too tired, take a break.
