Part 2 Ambition Section 1 Conquest of North County (6)
However, I didn't expect that the city gate would be easily slammed open, and the city would be empty! I twisted the red cannon, and the left and right armies rushed into Guangyuan, but I didn't see a single enemy. We finally gathered in the arena in the middle of the city and looked at each other.
How did they get out? How did Xu Wei and the more than 20,000 ghost fire troops in the city disappear out of thin air with their strange, advanced, and cumbersome equipment?
While we were puzzled, the scout reported that there was an extra path in the north direction in the mountains outside the city, which, according to his experience, had just been trodden a few days earlier.
Oh, it turned out that I took the mountain road back to North County. I let out a long sigh, since this is the case, I can wait until the soldiers and horses drill in the spring of next year is completed, and then attack Beijun. If you're lucky, when you capture Beijun, you can hurry up and fulfill the agreement with Bing'er to enjoy the flowers. I left a group of generals in the county to defend the city, and ordered Yang Jian and Mo Yun to stay behind to assist, and I moved my soldiers to Gaoling, which is located at the northern end of Gwangwon County. This castle is connected with the high wall castle at the southern end of the northern gun, and the entrance can advance to the northern gun, and the retreat can hold the gate of Gwangwon-gun, the geographical location is excellent, and it is a good place to garrison troops.
So from the beginning of the lunar month, I trained the army every day, selected elite soldiers suitable for both swords and swords, and selected a force of four or five thousand people; Chen Bao's Xuanjia Army is also becoming more and more sophisticated. I have to say, I've come to enjoy this kind of life. There is no blood, no killing, no parting of life and death, and you can also walk around this Gaoling City and the nearby mountains and forests with her in your spare time, so that you can appreciate the feng shui of the northern country, and you can hunt some strange things from time to time......
Thirty days is a quick time. Bing'er and I bathed in the evening breeze of the thirtieth month of the 40th year of Yangwu, and while the generals who were drinking and feasting together were not paying attention, we slipped out of the lobby and quietly touched the roof of the county government and sat down. Bing'er and I are both dressed in the regular clothes of military generals, I am dressed in pure black, and he is dressed in red and wearing makeup: it can be said that anyone who looks at it more will be distracted.
Such an indescribable fairy-like figure fell into the hands of me, the leader of the thief army. I smiled silently, thanking God, and thanking her and myself.
She leaned on my shoulder. "In a while, it will be the first year of Tianfeng."
I sighed too. "Alas, yes, it's like an arrow...... "Inadvertently, I raised my hand to touch my chin, and I felt a few soft, sparse beards.
She suddenly asked, "Time is so fast, will we have gray hair like this......
“…… When that happens, will you dislike me......"
I felt the feel of these beards, and I couldn't help but smile a little sadly. "When you get old, I will become an old man older than you, and if you don't dislike me, I'll be content......"
Twelve bells rang, followed by fireworks from the houses of the city. They all rose into the sky, turning the otherwise calm sky of Takamine into a colorful color.
The life of military training is long, but it is not boring. In addition to training, the generals and I also take the soldiers on vacation for the holidays, so the veterans and recruits love us, and we also reduce the negative emotions caused by the daily high-intensity training. From thousands of miles of ice to the grass growing and the warbler flying, we have persevered. One day on 13 February, I suddenly remembered that Xu Wei's father, Xu Feng, seemed to be in my army, so I sent people around to look for him. However, their reward was:
"Fourth General, Brother Xu died in the Ghost Fire Array last winter."
I was silent.
I don't know how Xu Wei would feel if he knew the news.
A scout crashed in.
"Report! Four generals, the general's military order, your black-clothed branch will break away from Xiaoruishi on the same day and be renamed the black-clothed guard! Please turn in the Snapstar Banner! ”
I was stunned. "Can you tell me why?"
The general said that in order to strengthen the functions of the respective branches of the armed forces, they should not be confused. The general also separated the second general's cavalry division, renamed it the wind cavalry, and has come to support here. ”
"Okay, I got it. Take all these flags with you. ”
"Yes!"
"Jun Cao, help find the generals."
I called the generals to come in, and jointly designed a white stripe on a black background, and a tiger face logo with a bloody mouth open as the banner of the black guards, and all the personnel wore imitations according to my armor, which can be personalized designed, but the surface is similar. In order to further confuse the enemy, we decided to unify our soldiers and use our swords. In order to distinguish the generals, ordinary soldiers do not wear robes, elite soldiers wear black short robes, and the deputy generals have white tigers tattooed on their black robes, and they are tattooed with red tigers. And because Pixiu has the nickname of "Pixiu Big Tiger", the deputy commander has a white Pixiu tattoo and a red Pixiu tattoo. All the generals changed their armor to black, and even Zheng Xiao, who had always been dazzling with golden light, painted his golden gun and unicorn armor with a black layer of oil.
Everything is ready, and then let this army become a man-eating cloud on the battlefield.
On 1 March, when I felt that the army was ready, I gathered all the generals and stood on the black platform. At this moment, in addition to the deputy commander Chisha Wolf, the other deputy commander Xiahou Feng had also recovered from his injuries, and returned to the army with his ring head knife and a set of black leather armor. Chu Rui and Zheng Xiao's robes also turned into black robes with white Pixiu tattoos, standing on their left and right sides. This is the earliest high-level of the Black Guard.
"The generals will obey!"
"In!"
"All of us march to Takagaki and strive to return home as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
When I was pulling, I found Bing'er in the army again. "Bing'er, the two enemy generals who defeated us last time were in Beijun, do you still want to go?"
Bing'er is also wearing black armor at the moment, with a white tiger on a black background tattooed on her robe, and she looks a little more cold and arrogant. "Of course, you don't remember what I said that day?"
"Okay." I reached out and gently touched her head, turned around and whipped my horse, and went to lead the front army.
