Chapter Twenty-Five: To the Border Town
Song Ying'an, who received the order from the military department, must return to the border army as quickly as possible and take charge of the Xuanzi battalion again.
At the moment when the casualties of the Xuanzi battalion were not clear, to deal with the barbarians who suddenly advanced to the border, the methods of dealing with the cavalry taught by Zhao Hengyi were particularly important.
In the past few days, the blacksmiths recruited by Song Ying'an have built a lot of barbed wire and thistles, but it takes a lot of time for these things to be transported to the border army, and it is obviously too late to face the fiery military situation.
And the best way Song Ying'an can think of right now is to bring his wise and demonic brother Zhao Hengyi back to the border army together!
The army guarding the frontier is not only a camp of Xuanzi Battalion, no matter how erosive the border army is, it has been operating on the current defense line for more than ten years, and there are also a lot of blacksmiths in the camp, rather than transporting barbed wire and thistles from Dangyang County, it is better to create convenience directly in the border army.
Zhao Hengyi thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
Zhao Hengyi is not unaware of the danger of this trip, the barbarians took the border in advance, and the unprepared border army was taken by surprise, and there was no military report in the dispatch order sent by the military department, and no one knew what the border supremacy was like now?
Perhaps, this time, the barbarian Koubian caused by the drought will move the border of the Great Yan Kingdom a hundred and ten miles further into the hinterland, just like more than ten years ago!
At that time, the current border will become the territory of the barbarians, and the border troops guarding the border will all become slaves of the ghosts and barbarians!
But Zhao Hengyi has a reason to go.
After getting along for several days, he did not only treat Song Yingan with false affection, but really had brotherly love.
Even from the perspective of the most selfish interests, in this Great Yan Kingdom, which has rotted to the bones, if there is no protection of Song Ying'an, who was born in the Mighty Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that everything that Zhao Hengyi operates in Elm Bay will be like a castle built on the beach, a huge wave will come and all disappear!
Whether from the point of view of emotion or interests, Zhao Hengyi must follow Song Yingan to the border town.
Zhao Hengyi didn't expect to help Song Ying'an turn the tide, he only prayed that in the worst-case scenario, he could help his brother escape!
For today's Zhao Hengyi, as long as Song Yingan is alive, the two brothers will have countless possibilities in the future, but once Song Yingan dies in the chaos, all the efforts made by Zhao Hengyi before will become a castle in the air!
This is the sorrow of being in the Great Yan Kingdom, as the lowest level of ant-like grass people.
For Zhao Hengyi to follow Song Yingan to the border army, the most panicked is naturally Miao Xiaoyu.
She couldn't understand that seeing that the days were getting more and more prosperous, and the people of the entire Elm Bay were slowly living a good life because of their husband, why did the husband still risk his life at such a moment?
Even in the eyes of Miao Xiaoyu, the daughter of a former wealthy businessman, it is an extremely dangerous thing to go to the border town to enter the army in the Great Yan Kingdom!
Only those who could not pay the taxes were sent by the government to serve in the border army.
And only two or three out of ten of those who can come back alive from the border army, and most of these veterans who can return to their hometowns are also people who are disabled, lack arms and legs, and are unable to fight in the battle array!
Because of poverty, there is no shortage of such old pawns in Elm Bay, and Wang Dahu, who left only one right arm, is one of the representatives.
In Miao Xiaoyu's eyes, her husband did not make a mistake, and he was like a brother to a big man like Dang Yangbo, so why did he let his husband go to the border town and join the dangerous border army?
"Xiaoyu, I have my own considerations when I go to the border town this time."
Facing Miao Xiaoyu and the six little ones who were crying, Zhao Hengyi was also reluctant in his heart, "But in life, there are some things that have to be done!"
My brother treats me like a blood brother, and I can't sit idly by when he has something.
And it's not as dangerous as you think, my brother said, I'm going to stay in the craftsman camp and be responsible for building some armor and artifacts, it's safe. ”
Zhao Hengyi also told the truth, the reason why Song Yingan took him back to the Xuanzi camp first was to let him lead the craftsmen who would make the camp to build tools to deal with the cavalry.
Zhao Hengyi said a lot of coaxing words, and broke the pros and cons and told Miao Xiaoyu about them, so he barely appeased his little daughter-in-law who had not yet completed the house.
As for the six little ones, Zhao Hengyi hugged and kissed them one by one, and the little girls were coaxed to laugh.
However, the industry left in Elm Bay does not need Zhao Hengyi to worry too much.
From the very beginning, Zhao Hengyi chose to delegate power, and most of the specific affairs were taken care of by the village chief and a group of elders.
Zhao Hengyi even introduced the work division system at the beginning, similar to the people's commune in the previous generation, which operated the entire Elm Bay iron bucket, and as the proprietor, he temporarily left, which would not affect the operation of the entire Elm Bay.
It's just that some radical plans need to be put on hold, just in time to give everyone in Elm Bay a stage to adjust to a new life.
Going to the border town, Zhao Hengyi was not alone.
Wang Dahu, a marksman from the Xuanzi Battalion, followed the proprietor back to the battle formation, and Wang Erhu, who was clever and clever and secretly called the embryo killer by Zhao Hengyi, also took the initiative to follow, and the other one was his blacksmith apprentice Zhang Daniu.
The purpose of Zhao Hengyi's trip is very clear, that is, to stay in the general camp, lead the craftsmen to build tools for the cavalry, and once the war is eroded, find a way to bring Song Yingan back safely!
The military situation is like fire, even if Song Ying'an is the uncle of Dangyang, he only prepared for half a day, and then took his personal guards and Zhao Hengyi to meet the four people, and quickly rushed to the border town by boat!
And the craftsmen recruited in Dangyang County did not stop and continued to fight to the barbed wire and thistle.
Song Ying'an is not optimistic about the war that has broken out, these barbed wire and thistle terrestris will be sent to the front line in a steady stream, once the war erodes and the border army is defeated, these craftsmen who stay in Dangyang County will become a new fire.
Hurrying all the way, Zhao Hengyi saw the other side of Song Yingan.
This young uncle, who is usually like a curious baby, showed a calm and sharp side at this time.
Even on the way, Song Yingan was trying his best to collect battle reports from the front line, and made plans in advance, so that he could quickly stabilize his position after regaining control of the Xuanzi battalion.
And for Zhao Hengyi, Song Yingan also felt a heartfelt surprise!
He never imagined that a young man trapped in the mountains and countryside would be able to understand military affairs without anyone to teach him!
In the plans he formulated, Zhao Hengyi contributed a lot, and often a casual sentence could bring him new inspiration, there are really people in this world who are born to know!
God treats me Song Ying'an well, and with the help of a virtuous brother, I will definitely be able to repel the barbarians!
