Chapter 216: Fu Meng stands alone (thanks to Huichen Piaohong for the reward)
More and more troops rushed to the city of Dundo, and the triangular plain where the river and water intersected set up camp tents one after another, forming company camps with regiments as units, and hundreds of felt tents were scattered from a distance. All kinds of heavy ox carts and vehicles have arrived one after another, and several temporary granaries have been built inside and outside the city of Dundo.
On the seventh day, Fumeng Lingcha arrived with the rest of the forces of the Marquis of Yu.
On the first day of the general's arrival, he inspected all the regimental camps under his command and had a cordial and friendly conversation with each of the lieutenants.
In fact, no, many Tang Army generals had a very bad temper, especially before the battle, Fumeng Lingcha was no exception, and he scolded all the captains who were not arranged in the camp in an irregular manner.
"You Tanshun! One is stupider than the other! The pigs know that the place is full! Go grab a fart feng shui treasure! Is this place left for you to be a tomb?"
He pointed to the neatly arranged camp by the river and said loudly, "Do you see the three regiments over there?" Tear down the felt tent and rebuild it for me! Just by their standards!"
When it was dark, he led his own army to patrol the camp by the river, and his blushing face was as gloomy as pig iron in the night, and even if he stood in front of you without scolding, he felt that a thunderous rage was about to be vented.
Li Siye, Ren Chengsi, and Zhao Yuanwei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and saluted.
"Humble duties, see the envoy of Fumeng."
Fu Meng ignored them with a dark face, and walked towards the camp with his hands kicking the dust, and the soldiers with their spears and swings stood up straight when they saw him, and they didn't even dare to come out.
He walked between the tents, suddenly stopped and looked left and right, and then turned to Ren Chenghei and sprayed angrily: "The distance between the two military tents is too close!" If there are thieves attacking and setting fire! A gust of wind blows and the whole camp can burn! Do you have a dung bag in your skull? ”
Ren Chengsi hurriedly admitted his mistake: "What the general taught him is that his subordinates will tell them to dismantle and rebuild."
"Don't take them! Do it yourself! It's your fault! Why bother with soldiers!"
Ren Chenghei responded again and again.
Fu Meng Lingcha went to Zhao Yuanwei's camp again, but because there was no hay shoveling near the campfire, Captain Zhao was also scolded by Fu Meng and punished him to use a knife to weed himself.
Li Siye has a little drum in his heart, just like meeting a harsh boss in the workplace, these people who must be strict about the details, maybe just to scold people.
Fu Meng strode through the six military tents of the Eighth Regiment, his eyes swept around every corner, but he didn't find anything to scold about? He turned back without giving up, and with his horsewhip in his hand, he violently opened the felt curtain of the military tent.
The soldiers who were sleeping in the tents sat up one after another, their scabbards in their hands, their armor flowing like fish scales, and half of the unarmored soldiers were still asleep.
Fu Meng Lingcha threw down the tent stupidly, and suddenly turned to face Li Siye: "Li Siye!?"
His tone sounded like a curse, and his blushing face was still tight, Li Siye didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Oh!"
He pretended to be casual and looked at the other side of the river, but his voice was not so stern: "Half of the tent at night is dressed in armor, and it is very thoughtful. Although Dunduo City is in the territory of Anxi, it is still far from the surname of Tuqi Shihei, but it should not be taken lightly, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance, and sleep with one eye open! ”
"Whoa!"
Li Siye breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask for praise from the general, as long as he wasn't scolded, it would be good.
The envoy of Fumeng shook his cloak behind him, turned around and left with his guards.
Ren Chenghei immediately dismantled the big tent and relocated the sheep felt to erect it again. He swung a wooden hammer bare-chested and drove a stake into the soil, supported by a soldier next to him, stopping from time to time, spitting two mouthfuls into the palm of his hand, and continuing to pick up the sledgehammer.
He stopped again and stood on tiptoe to visit Li Siye's camp, but he could not hear Fu Meng Lingcha's scolding for a long time. When he saw the general's red cloak disappear in the distance, he couldn't calm down anymore, and muttered, "Sure enough, it's my own!" If he hadn't been Gai Jiayun's cronies, Lao Tzu would have gnawed on this stake and eaten it! ”
Several brigade leaders and teams were coming over to snatch the big wooden hammer from him, and explained with a smile: "General Fumeng is gone. ”
"Fart, I've got to do this job, get out of here!"
……
After the arrival of Fumeng Lingcha, the baggage regiments of the Marquis of Yu on the left and right were also stationed, and they were the main force responsible for building the camp. Even as a semi-temporary garrison, half of the forest on the hill was cut down, a row of wooden walls were built around the triangle of the river, and arrow towers and watchtowers were also erected.
Qiuzi's army was arriving one after another, and soon the king of Shiguo, one of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in Central Asia, led his troops to arrive and camp on the other side of the river with sheep and cattle. Immediately afterwards, the Mi team also drove livestock, and the two teams together had more than 7,000 people. The Bahans arrived a month later, and there were 9,000 men under his command.
At this time, it was the beginning of July, and the Tucai Shi Huang surnamed Mo He Ganda was attacked by the black surnamed Tu Huoxian, but the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty had not arrived for a long time, and He Mo had to lead the main force to withdraw to the opposite bank of Dundo City and settle down. He personally went into the city to talk with the Tang army, but found that no one was in charge, and Gai Jiayun's Chinese army had not yet arrived.
He Moganda was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the Tang army was as steady as Mount Tai, and still mobilized baggage to transport grain and grass step by step, as if he wanted to build Dunduo City into a grain and grass transit and supply center.
Before Gai Jiayun arrived, the supreme commander of the Tang Army stationed in Dundo City was Fumeng Lingcha, and He Moganda had no choice but to harass him every day, hoping that he could urge Gai Zhongcheng so that he could come as soon as possible to organize a large army to fight a decisive battle with the black forces.
As a subordinate, how dare Fu Meng write a letter to urge his immediate boss, so he had to say perfunctorily to He Mo: "Don't be anxious about the Great Khan, but whenever the army goes out, you always need to ask the Yin and Yang family to divinate an auspicious day of the zodiac. ”
He Mo had no choice, they also had a shaman divination, and there was indeed an auspicious day, so he had to wait patiently.
By the end of July, 60,000 troops had been assembled on the front line of Dunduocheng, of which there were more than 37,000 troops under the surname Huang of the Tuqi Cavalry, and 16,000 troops from Shiguo, Miguo, and Bahanna in Central Asia, while the Tang army was only more than 8,000 people, and even if the Chinese army led by Gai Jiayun arrived, the army deployed by the Tang army this time was only more than 12,000 people, which was equivalent to half of the total strength of the four towns of Anxi.
Li Siye and the others were so idle that they were about to fade out of their mouths, but the army did not move for a long time, so they had to climb the beacon fort to watch the scenery. , look at the Naryn River in the upper reaches, and the Diao River in the lower reaches in full view. The tents set up by the Tang army gathered the armies of various ethnic groups were lined up like dots, and all kinds of flags fluttered in the summer breeze. In the distance of these companies and camps, there were thousands of wagons carrying grain and grass back and forth, and the soldiers stationed in the camp took turns patrolling, and the Tang cavalry and scouts explored around the camp.
The once deserted city of Dundo has become so lively. It is believed that if the Tang army is stationed here for a few more months, it will inevitably form a more lively city than the exchange city.
With so many troops gathered in such a place, and they were of different tribes and different skin colors, and all kinds of emotions were overflowing for two months, but they were still in order, which shows the general's ability to co-ordinate. Gai Jiayun's vision is not wrong, Fu Meng Lingcha is indeed a talent who stands alone.
On the last day of July, the bustle of the front line of Dunduo City reached its peak, only because the Chinese army led by Gai Jiayun finally arrived late.
