c_t;“ Recruits who have never seen blood have very poor combat effectiveness, and the tougher they fight, the faster they will grow. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info/ "Liu Jinhui has also been in the army for many years, and he still has some opinions on these things.
"Okay, after everything is arranged, we will attack immediately, Shouyang City is only a hundred kilometers away from the Flail Blue Pass, we must start acting immediately. Sun Wu reminded.
Fang Rui nodded: "Finish all the aftermath work, and then we'll set off." ”
Shouyang City had just been occupied, and there was still a lot of aftermath work to be done, so all the officers of the Dragon Soul Legion stayed up all night, quickly arranging various affairs. Fang Ruitao first asked Wu Cheng and the most attentive Li Bing, to bring a small group of Dragon Soul Legion soldiers and more than 2,000 Sun Wu's cronies to escort the group of honest thieves to the direction of the Dahengduan Mountain Range, they would take another direction, away from the possible marching route of the Chagatai cavalry. In order to cover up people's eyes, Fang Ruitao deliberately escorted the thieves into Beijing on the grounds that they were of great importance, and the team of thieves who had committed great crimes and needed to be escorted to the military headquarters was also escorted by a brigade led by Liu Jinhui himself.
For the sake of insurance, Fang Ruitao transferred the two daughters, Gu Xinlan and Long Hanyue, plus Lucia, Diao Chan and others from the god-making space.
"Something happened to Brother Fang, we are having a good fight. Long Hanyue pouted and was unhappy, just now she was about to kill a very strong dark knight, but Fang Ruitao directly summoned out of the space.
Fang Ruitao said with a serious face: "Something has happened, I need you to stay outside all this time, just live in this Shouyang City." ”
"Is there any problem?" Gu Xinlan said, "It can't be a counterattack by thieves, maybe we should ask my father for help." ”
Fang Ruitao shook his head and said: "It is more serious than the counterattack of the thieves, it is the 100,000 cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate that broke into our territory, and the military department requires us to block them." ”
"How is this possible, I am going to see my father and ask him to take back his life. Gu Xinlan frowned, this task was almost impossible, and she was extremely angry at her father's decision.
Fang Ruitao stopped: "No need, your father also considers the overall situation, soldiers sometimes have to have the spirit of sacrifice for the country, not to mention that we may not necessarily sacrifice." ”
Long Hanyue said: "Brother Fang, how about you guard Shouyang City, as long as you can guard here, I will go and plead with my father and the emperor for you." ”
Fang Ruitao shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible, Shouyang City is not the only way for the Chagatai cavalry, I am afraid that they will bypass Shouyang City and go straight to the imperial capital, and I will inevitably be guilty of dereliction of duty at that time." What's more, if we don't dare to meet and block the other side, how many people will suffer from the war, and this makes us unbearable. ”
Looking at the two women with a lonely expression, Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, we are not fighting alone, the Third Legion will assist us in blocking the enemy together." ”
"Hmph, do you think Gu Chen will care about the overall situation so much? It's good if he doesn't stab you in the back. Long Hanyue pursed her lips, she was even more worried.
Lucia said: "I will accompany you to the battlefield, and it is natural for slaves to follow their masters, which is not within the scope of the clause that non-military personnel cannot accompany the army." ”
Fang Ruitao shook his head and said: "You are all my women, I don't want any of you to be hurt, you must stay here and help me defend Shouyang City, maybe at a critical juncture, we still need this place to avoid pursuit." In order to stabilize the women, Fang Ruitao had to coax them first.
"Diao Chan, you also stay, your role on the battlefield is very small, it's not worth the risk there, in addition, I will leave a large group of men and horses to defend the city, and you can cooperate when the time comes. Fang Ruitao's words could not be questioned, and the women finally nodded.
"Mr. Sun, I'll leave this Shouyang City to you. Fang Ruitao turned over and rode on the cloud horse, and said to Sun Wuyi.
Sun Wu said with a smile: "With Lord Situ Yu here, we will definitely defend this place, and hope that the lord will return victoriously as soon as possible." ”
"If necessary, my brigade will be ready to reinforce the Legion Commander. Situ Yu was still a little depressed about not being able to go to the battlefield.
Fang Ruitao waved his hand: "You are mainly defending the city, those hand-pushed ballistas are too cumbersome to move, in order to speed up the march, I will leave them all to you, as long as they are used properly, it is not difficult to defend this city." ”
Situ Yu had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "I must do my best to defend this city and reserve a way back for my lords." Fang Ruitao nodded, he asked Situ Yu to guard here, which was exactly what he meant.
"Well, it's not too early, the whole army is out. Fang Ruitao waved his hand, and the army of the Dragon Soul Legion, which was standing straight on the school ground, began to move slowly, marching towards the city gate.
The military situation was urgent, Fang Ruitao did not dare to delay, the Dragon Soul Legion traveled under the stars and nights, and finally came to a hilly area called Gaoyang Hill located south of the mountain range before the Chagatai cavalry walked out of the Dahengduan Mountain Range. When Fang Ruitao's Dragon Soul Legion arrived, Gu Chen also arrived here with the first division of the Third Legion, since it was to jointly fight against the enemy, Fang Ruitao naturally wanted to meet the other party. What's more, he has another purpose, that is, to provoke it away, so that he will not stumble himself at the critical moment.
"My lord, Fang Ruitao, the leader of the Dragon Soul Legion, asks to see you. A personal soldier walked into the big tent and reported to Gu Chen.
"What?" Gu Chen thought he had misheard, and he cried out in a lost voice. For Fang Ruitao, he has an unsolvable hatred. Originally, he thought that this time the two sides would fight each other, but he didn't expect the other party to come so soon, obviously wanting to put down his body and seek cooperation.
Thinking of the meager strength of Fang Ruitao's men, Gu Chen smiled slightly: "Do you want me to fight the Chagatai cavalry to the death? I won't be fooled and use light infantry to fight the cavalry, do you think I'm stupid? What's more, my brigade is hundreds of miles away, and I can't rescue it at all, so I will take such a division and men and horses to send me to death?"
Gu Chen muttered to himself, he suddenly remembered that Fang Ruitao had a heavy infantry unit that could resist the ironclad cavalry, and a trace of envy flashed in his heart, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for this force to have only one squadron now. Gu Chen secretly thought in his heart that if he could have a wing of heavy infantry, he would not be afraid of those poorly equipped Chagatai cavalry.
"Let Fang Ruitao come in and listen to what he has to say. Gu Chen asked his own soldiers to bring people in, and he himself was also demoted to greet him, after all, the two of them were of the same level on the surface, and he couldn't be rude.
"Lord Gu is fine, Fang Ruitao is polite. Fang Ruitao greeted Gu Chen warmly as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't want to be estranged from him at all. After being outside for so long, the current Fang Ruitao has finally learned the city government that a politician must have.
