Southwest Wind and Clouds Seventy-Seven Draped into battle
At the beginning of August of the thirteenth year of Longwu in Southern Qi, the barbarians of southern Xinjiang knocked on the border and invaded the border, and they also joined the army.
It has been four or five days since Yi Tianhang took office, and sure enough, as Mu Ziyu said, the five hundred elite soldiers under his command did not take him seriously at all, for no other reason, and he was appointed as Qu Governor at a young age.
Although the position of Qu Governor is not high, only seven grades, but it is also a military position that the vast majority of people cannot climb from birth to death, and the soldiers are naturally dissatisfied, and everyone does not know his details, only know that he is a friend of Xing Duwei, Tang Tingshan used a strategy to break the barbarian army in the first battle, but many people have not seen it with their own eyes, and they are not convinced at all, and Yitianhang's temperament is much more ruthless than Xing Zongliang, and today he made up his mind to stand up and stand up.
After the drills of the battalion were over, Yi Tianhang did not disband the soldiers, and shouted directly to the five hundred people under him on the school field: "This governor has just arrived, I know that some of you are not convinced, you are all battle-hardened warriors, and it is reasonable for me to be dissatisfied, this hairy boy is also reasonable, this matter is understandable, but! Now that the Governor is standing here, you must recognize the reality that it is me, my young man, who has made your head! In the future, you will need your full support to kill the enemy on the battlefield! ”
After finishing speaking, all the soldiers in the audience turned their heads and ears, not taking Yi Tianhang in their eyes at all, just like Xing Zongliang did back then.
Yi Tianhang slowed down, glanced at all the soldiers, and saw disdain on their faces, and said secretly in his heart: "This is equivalent to saying in vain, okay, since this is the case, don't blame Ben Shaoxia for being ruthless." ”
Yi Tianhang continued: "The Governor happens to have some free time today, if any of you want to move your muscles again, you can go down and have a discussion with the Governor." ”
As soon as these words came out, these five hundred elite soldiers instantly cheered, these people had been waiting for this day for a long time, but they didn't expect this Yiqu Governor to take the initiative to send it to the door, and as soon as several tun chiefs were combined, they discussed the promotion of the highest martial arts appearance, and before the candidate was decided, he heard Yi Tianhang say: "Don't delay the time, ten tun chiefs will go up together!" ”
This statement is extremely arrogant, and the chiefs are very angry, this is obviously looking down on people!
With just a cup of tea, Yi Tianhang overturned all the tun chiefs, and said with a cold face a famous saying that would be widely spread in the Shu Army in the future and extremely hateful: "A man may have no ability or ability, but he must be self-aware!" Who else is not convinced? Come along! ”
Five hundred soldiers were furious when they heard this, and in an instant, dozens of strong soldiers stepped forward to beat Yi Tianhang, at the beginning of the crowd still had a move, after fighting for a long time, it was like a street fight, crowded, and Yi Tianhang could no longer be seen.
"Oh no, this Yiqu Du won't be killed, right?"
"Do you want to report to Captain Xing?"
A soldier watching the battle whispered.
The onlookers saw that there were people wailing and falling to the ground, but they didn't see their comrades stop in the field, knowing that Yiqu Du had not yet been defeated, everyone stared intently, for fear that Yi Tianhang would stand out and come around, and even more saw that they couldn't fight for a long time, and they also went down to participate in the siege, and there were seventy or eighty people who beat Yi Tianhang before and after.
After a stick of incense, no one stood in the audience, only a cry of pain and wail.
Yi Tianhang's hair was scattered and his clothes were tattered, and he stood up from the "corpse" in that place, and the set of leather armor and leather helmet on his body had long since disappeared.
The more than 400 people who watched the battle were already stunned, and Yi Tianhang hugged his long hair and said: "This governor battle armor, you will pay for it!" ”
Yitianhang's rhetoric was too radical and failed to convince the public, so he could only rely on strength to intimidate.
The battle of Liwei in the Yitianhang School Field, there were many people watching other dramas, which can be said to be famous in the first battle, and it spread throughout the entire Zizhong Army on the same day.
"I heard that the newly arrived Yiqu Governor overturned dozens of people in order to establish his authority and serve the public, which is much more ruthless than that time of Xing Duwei."
"Alas, nonsense, it's obvious that Yiqu Du put down one or two hundred people, it's like a monster."
"You two are bragging rights, how can we be so unbearable for a hundred warriors? I have heard that Yiqu Du beat and blackmailed his soldiers. ”
。。。
A few days later, Yi Tianhang was notorious for "beating" the soldiers, although he was beaten by dozens of people that day, but in the eyes of others, it was someone who made a provocative speech as soon as he took office, beating dozens of outspoken men, and causing these dozens of people to faint to death on the ground, the perpetrator was not only unharmed, but also asked the injured to extort money on the grounds that the armor was damaged, which is simply unreasonable!
Yitianhang military tent, this ruthless young man was looking at Xing Zongliang and Yu Siren helplessly at the moment, and said: "Two, you say that I recruited someone to provoke whom, and it has only been more than ten days since I took office, and it has already spread far and wide, and it has spread throughout the entire Zizhong battalion. ”
Yu Siren gloated a little, and said without hiding a smile: "Cough, I said 'Yi Daxia', I heard that Lao Yu, you knocked out Qian Duwei who came to lecture yesterday, Ma Duwei, Yang Duwei, and Wang Duwei who came to lecture Qian Duwei?" These people have already gone to General Mu to complain... You always work harder, and strive to make Captain Dong also... ”
"Get out! You dead fat man, look at your fat body, you have been in the army for more than one time, and you are stunned for a while. Yi Tianhang replied.
"What's wrong? Bentun Chang is called a bear and a tiger, and 'Yi Daxia' should not be jealous. Yu Siren said proudly.
Xing Zongliang knew that Yu Siren was deliberately teasing Yi Tianhang, so he said: "Tianhang, there is no need to think about it when the matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter if you overturn dozens of people, what can you do if you offend a few captains?" General Mu has been pretending not to know about this matter, and Captain Dong has not shown up, and the attitude of these two is the key. ”
Yi Tianhang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and no longer dwelled on this "notoriety" matter, and said: "I heard that there is a report from a sentry that after the two southern barbarian armies arrived in Jiawu and Jiangyang, they did not rush to attack, but set up camp and build a fortress dozens of miles away from the city, this is a long-term plan?" ”
"Yes, when you beat your soldiers five days ago, these two barbarian armies were already set up camp." Xing Zongliang replied.
"The army wants to move, grain and grass come first, this southern barbarian army mobilized the people to trek from the hinterland of southern Xinjiang for several months, but did not attack? There must be a conspiracy in it. Yi Tianhang thought for a while and said.
"General Mu and the Marquis of Danqu also found that the behavior of the Nanban is different from the past, it seems that there are masters planning, a few days ago, the traces of the Liukou were found in the territory of the capital, on the occasion of the confrontation between the two armies, at the moment of the last moment, the hinterland of the rear of our army has a group of thieves out of thin air, this matter is very suspicious, General Mu intends to send troops to exterminate it, there are many people in the army who ask for war, the general hides it, I am afraid that he is considering who will take this military merit." Xing Zongliang has been in the army for a year, although he still has some Jianghu spirit, but at this time, he has a deep thinking face, but he has the steady style of a veteran general in the army.
Yu Siren stroked the two mustaches on his lips and said, "This credit will definitely not be taken by our 'Yi Daxia', and General Mu also has to consider the meaning of several captains." ”
These three people, you and I said one sentence to me, and the guards outside the tent who listened to them scolded secretly in their hearts, thinking that there was no part for them to make meritorious contributions to Kou this time, and Yiqu Du offended several captains, and eighty percent of them would be arranged to stay in the camp.
Just when the three people in the tent had no idea, when the guards outside the tent greeted the elders of Yi Tianhang, they saw a fast horse galloping to the front of the tent, and the knight immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Yi Tianhang listens to the order, according to the order of General Mu, Yi Tianhang's department immediately set up troops, thinking that it was the vanguard, and went to search for the thieves who were wandering in the south of Zizhong. This is a warrant from the general, and his subordinates still have military affairs, so they will leave. ”
The knight said, without waiting for Yi Tianhang to come out of the tent, handed the codex to the guard outside the tent and left, the guard took the codex, stunned in place, and did not react until Yi Tianhang and the others came out of the account.
The military situation was urgent, and Yi Tianhang, Xing Zongliang, and Yu Siren didn't have time to think about it, so they each returned to the camp with a snicker, and the big pie smashed on Yi Tianhang's head.
Point soldiers, oaths, Yi Tianhang is dressed in military uniform, full of leather armor, is indeed heroic and extraordinary, and Captain Dong contacted related matters, then took the lead, led the army to set off, the tent is even more morale-boosting, this Qu Du as the vanguard to lead the army, the first time the Shu army opened the world, this is also the descendant of General Mu?!
The military system of the Southern Qi Dynasty is strict, and the identity of the army is distinguished by the category of armor, and the soldiers below the tun commander can only wear leather cuirasses, the tun commander can wear leather helmets and shoulder armor, and the Qu Du can wear arm armor, leg armor, skirt armor and other full-body leather armor, and the lieutenant and general wear iron fish scale armor. Of course, if the official is a lieutenant and has money, no one cares if he goes to create more expensive armor by himself, as long as he does not exceed the system, he can't wear silver armor from King Qi, and a five-grade general wears a blinding gold armor to swagger through the market.
It has been three days since Yi Tianhang led the army out of the city, and this is the first time he has led the troops, and his heart is not very steady, and he is indeed inferior to Xing Zongliang in this regard, after all, Xing Zongliang has ordered three thousand gangs.
During the march, the first Huangtun chief of his subordinates leaned forward and said: "Qi Yu Yiqu Du, scout report, there are still five days away from the place where the rogue is infested, and the traces of the thieves have been found, and there are about hundreds of people in the place where the thieves are buried. ”
Yi Tianhang heard the words and replied: "I don't know where Captain Dong's army is going, if there are only a few hundred thieves, we can fight alone in this battle, but the rogues of this Shu land have always been hidden in the uninhabited mountains and forests of Jiawu, Jiangyang, Jiangzhou and Wuling, and most of them are active on the border, how can they suddenly venture into the territory of Zizhong." ”
Yi Tianhang seemed to be talking to Huang Tunchang, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
How could Huang Tun have the heart to distinguish the meaning of Yi Tianhang's words, he only heard the lone battle thief, and his heart was instantly excited, and he directly asked: "My lord, do you speed up the journey of our people and take this credit alone?" ”
"No, if you march in a hurry, the soldiers will be tired, and if the thieves are prepared, the gains will outweigh the losses. How many days do my men and horses have rations? ”
"Back to my lord, when the army was dispatched, all the soldiers brought seven days of rations, and now there are four days left, if you march in a hurry at this moment, find the enemy for three days, and fight a decisive battle for one day, and capture the thief's food, then the food and grass will be enough."
This Huang Tun Chang is not giving up, and wants Yi Tianhang to eat this gang of thieves alone, and the people below will naturally have a lot of military merits.
Yi Tianhang couldn't hear the meaning of the words, and said directly: "Huang Tunchang's meaning, this governor understands, it's just that this battlefield can not be child's play, if you can't find the thieves in three days, the brothers' rations will be exhausted, and their morale will fall greatly, if they can't find the whereabouts of the thieves in five or six days, the grain and grass will be exhausted, and then the army's morale will be disheartened and their lives will be endangered, so how can I explain to the brothers." ”
When the Huang Tun chief heard this, he replied: "The lord is very worried, everything is subject to the orders of the lord, and the subordinates will retire." ”
"Wait a minute, quickly send a fast horse to contact Captain Dong and inform our department that the traces of the thieves have been discovered, and they may fight with the thieves at any time in two or three days, and I hope that the army will come to support with grain and grass as soon as possible." Yi Tianhang thought about it for a moment and then ordered.
"Subordinates obey." Huang Tunchang said that he would withdraw from the arrangement.
Yi Tianhang led his troops to the south for another two days, and the fast horse to contact Captain Dong had returned, but he did not see the light cavalry coming to help. According to the report of the sentry, the thieves have moved in the direction of Zizhong today, and according to the trajectory of the two armies, they can meet tomorrow and tomorrow, but looking at what the thieves are doing, it is not like ordinary bandits, but like barbarian disguises.
"Advance according to the predetermined plan, send more scouts and spouts, and report any changes in the thieves immediately."
"Subordinates receive orders."
There are 500 people in this song, divided into 10 tuns, 50 people in each tun, and there are 10 tun commanders, although these soldiers admit that Yitianhang is brave and martial, but because of Yitianhang's request for armor compensation, they are all related and unconvinced.
Although the Chinese army is elite, after all, it is not as good as the Jiawu and Jiangyang armies guarding the frontier, and there are often military merits to be desired, so the vanguard is of great significance to these people, although I don't know why General Mu arranged a Qu Du as the vanguard general, but at this moment, the complaints in the mouth of these five hundred people are a lot less.
