Chapter 320: The Red Warrior Women's Army
Lan Jing'an thought for a while and made up his mind: "The left and right route armies are responsible for besieging the city, and the middle route army is responsible for cutting off all connections between Yuci and Jinyang." The military quartermaster was responsible for transferring more grain from Jizhou, and built more stoves around Yuci, and after besieging the city for 15 days, they began to cook meat porridge and other fragrant things. On the 30th day of the siege, the Red Army was responsible for calling the battle, and Qiu Zhonglang would take Yue Qi to respond. I'm going to take Yuci in a month's time. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard the idea of the great priest's order, you look at me, I look at you, and they were silent. Lan Jing'an's gaze swept over each of their faces, and he asked seriously, "Do you have any questions?" If you have any doubts, or find it difficult to do so. We can discuss it again. ”
Xiao Meng opened his mouth first: "I think this plan is feasible. The Middle Route Army can definitely do it. ”
Xiao Meng opened his mouth, and several other people also opened their mouths to say that their people guaranteed to complete the task. Lan Jing'an nodded, and decided on a second strategy. The rest of the parts can be slowly planned, but the siege of the city and the control of Jinyang need to be carried out immediately, so the three generals all took their leave first.
Lan Jing'an's body was soaked with sweat, but he still sat on the main seat and continued to discuss the matter of collecting grain with Bai Qingfeng. As he spoke, Feng Shen came in with a scout. As soon as the scout saw Lan Jing'an, he fell to the ground and reported the good news loudly: "Great Commander, Yingchuan Victory!" Yangcheng is broken, and the marshal has now marched into Luoyang. ”
Lan Jing'an stood up excitedly and praised happily: "Good!" Lan Jing'an looked at the other people in the military tent, and he was also full of joy. Brother Qingyun only took more than a month to take Yingchuan and march into Luoyang, and the speed was really fast. It seems that she is going to speed up a little more here.
Lan Jing rewarded the scout and told him to go down and rest. He discussed with Bai Qingfeng for a while, and suddenly rose up and took Biluan and Qiu Shaoze to inspect the Red Army.
Among the 100,000 people under her command, the Red Army is not a large majority, but because it is all female soldiers, it is a separate camp and does not mix with other armies. Although there are nearly 10,000 people in the Red Army, there are only less than 4,000 people who can actually use swords and crossbows, and they are qualified to go to the battlefield. Among them, Bi Luan even asked Qiu Shaoze to help her train a cavalry of 500 people alone.
When Lan Jing'an went to the Red Army, it was the time of training, and I saw thousands of women either practicing in formation, or practicing crossbow dancing knives, and the women's unique high-pitched voice was matched with a sassy heroic posture, but there were some styles that were rare in other armies.
Lan Jing'an patrolled all the way and listened to Qiu Shaoze's comments all the way. In the matter of training, Lan Jing'an trusts Qiu Shaoze the most. Waiting for the resting pergola, Lan Jing'an asked Qiu Shaoze in a low voice: "For another month, if there is no foreign army to help, how many troops do you think the Red Army can fight against?" ”
Under the scorching sun, Qiu Shaoze's cold face made Lan Jing'an extremely comfortable: "It's definitely okay to take four to five, and four to eight, it's possible, but it's not enough." Even if you have a repeating crossbow in hand, you have only been training for three months, and it is still relatively difficult to use four against ten thousand. ”
Lan Jing'an nodded, and said to Bi Luan on the side with a smile: "Listen to what General Qiu Zhonglang has to say." In a month's time, if you can't take 5,000 soldiers, don't blame me for being angry. ”
Bi Luan solemnly assured: "Da Si Ming, you can rest assured." If I can't take 8,000 soldiers, I'm willing to accept the baton. Lan Jing'an raised her eyebrows and glanced at her: "You are ambitious." Okay, when the time comes, I'll see the performance of the Red Army. ”
Lan Jing'an asked Qiu Shaoze and Feng Shen to go and do their own work, while she took Biluan to continue walking in the Red Army. Although Lan Jing'an didn't have any special concern for the Red Martial Army on the surface, she was the most concerned in private, and she and Bi Luan chatted while walking: "In Shangai, I don't let them go into battle, can there be complaints at the bottom?" ”
Bi Luan replied: "How could it not be. The widow's battalion, in particular, was the most resentful. ”
Lan Jing'an was not surprised when he heard this. These women who are willing to join the army are basically three types of people, one is their father, brother and husband who died in battle, and there is no one else at home, with hatred in their hearts and no one to rely on; One is to admire the demeanor of the great commander, knowing that General Wan Ping in the northwest also has a female soldier under him, and this is the goal of struggle; The last category is that there are family members in the Jizhou Army in Lan Jing'an who want to accompany each other.
Of these three types of women, the first group has the heaviest murderous intent, accounting for six or seven out of ten of the 4,000 people who can actually fight. The second group, which was the hardest trained and most determined, was dominated by the five hundred cavalry. The third group of people is the main force of auxiliary armies such as baggage and prison troops, and the proportion of 4,000 people is not high.
At the beginning, when Lan Jing'an recruited female soldiers, some people on the male soldier's side suggested that female soldiers be used as camp prostitutes, but they were scolded by Lan Jing'an, if it weren't for Bai Qingfeng and others trying their best to stop them, I'm afraid that Lan Jing'an would have ordered people to drag them out and kill them. Therefore, everyone knows that the great priest attaches great importance to female soldiers, and no one dares to speak disrespectfully and ill-intentioned about female soldiers.
Lan Jing'an even deliberately named this female soldier Hongwu, which means that red makeup is also mighty. The men and women were divided into camps, and without permission, male or female soldiers were to be punished with military sticks. Even family members who are concerned can only meet at specially arranged camps on designated days.
In the Battle of Shangai, Lan Jing'an did not let the Red Army actually fight. One is that she thinks that the training time of the Red Army at that time was too short and not qualified. On the other hand, she didn't take Xiao Qian's hundreds of thousands of people in her eyes at all, if she really wanted to deal with Yuwen Junping or Zhao Hu, she could wipe out Xiao Qian's hundreds of thousands of people in Shangai with the 50,000 elite soldiers in her hands alone.
Lan Jing'an calculates the days, holds back for another month, and lets the Red Army out, it will be like a tiger out of the cage. At that time, the first purpose of her trip to the state will be achieved.
Lan Jing'an asked Biluan again: "Which is Ayu's camp?" I've been here a few times, but I still can't figure it out every time. ”
Bi Luan smiled: "The girl is busy, so naturally she can't remember." But if Mrs. Xiao heard this, she would complain about the girl in her heart. Do you want to give me some benefits and buy me off? ”
Lan Jing'an looked around, saw that no one saw it, and secretly scratched Biluan's nose: "You are the most slippery." Say, what do you want? ”
Bi Luan smiled: "General Jiang asked me to practice swords tonight, but General Qiu Zhonglang said that he thought of a new formation for our Red Martial Army, and wanted to discuss it with me at night." ”
Lan Jing'an was a little strange: "Based on the relationship between a few of you, do you want to find Jiang Shaoheng to practice swords, or do you want to discuss with Qiu Shaoze and just say it directly." Why do you want to pull me? ”
Bi Luan pouted and complained: "You still don't know General Jiang's temper. I don't know why, as soon as I consulted with Qiu Zhonglang, he had to find some excuse to listen. You said, in the affairs of our Red Army, what did he do with a general left. I can't get sick of him like this. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I know." I will summon Jiang Shaoheng to discuss matters tonight, and when you are done discussing it there, you can come to me." ”
After Lan Jing'an finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at Biluan's eyes, and couldn't help but think in her heart, my Biluan really hurts. Look at these shadow guards, one or two want to rob people, and I don't know who has this blessing in the end to hold the beauty.
