Chapter 46: The March (2)

The weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful.

The smell of an early autumn morning is refreshing. After leaving Yuncheng, the field of vision becomes broad, and the endless plains and mountains are in full view.

When the Yang Kaibu of the battalion in front of the formation marched, the hooves of the war horses stepped on the thick ground, making a clattering sound, mixed with the sound of the collision of the armor and weapons of the soldiers, and there were countless footsteps and carriages, which crushed the ground in a row, and the dust was raised in the military formation, almost burying the flag, with the occasional neighing of the healthy horses, like a majestic music.

The whole army grew into an array of snakes, meandering forward, spreading out a black line several miles long, difficult to see the head in front and difficult to see the tail in the back, boundless.

These days of recuperation and training, everyone is full of energy, they hang the saber on their waists, carry the spear on their shoulders, and occasionally meet Yang Kai when he comes up to inspect, they can also salute, most of them are new pawns who are used to the etiquette of the army.

At the forefront were Wang Biao and Zhao Hu, Cai Qian and several other thousand households and deputy thousand households, distributing the two wings of their own army and supervising the formation to be maintained by the march.

The peasant army has occupied Yuncheng for a long time, and the news of the gathering of thieves has already come out, so when they first entered Runing, they marched all day long, and all the villages and forts they saw were empty. Even if you can see a few figures, it is nothing more than the old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot escape.

There is not much food in the house, and it is not interesting to rob them, Yang Kai ignores these people, but they go out of Yuncheng and go up to Cai for only a hundred miles, even if it is at the speed of large-scale army circulation, it is only two days.

Thinking that with their long-term resting division, it would be okay not to camp and rest during the period, but Gao Yingen didn't seem to be in a hurry to break the city, and ordered the troops to stop after one day of marching, and also ordered the leaders of their various departments to gather to discuss important matters. Yang Kaibu had no choice but to turn back to his head.

I saw Gao Yingen get a suit of armor from somewhere, standing on the slope mountain, more than 30 personal soldiers around him and standing up straight, three old management teams who returned to the camp and came in and several new old management teams had come to his side to accompany him, seeing his face softened, his mood was also quite comfortable.

Tens of thousands of generals had gathered under the slope, and they were mixed with the people who were forming the army, young and strong juniors, middle-aged men, old men in their fifties, half-grown children, few military armor, most of them wearing tattered clothes, probably according to the location of their old management team, standing in several large piles.

The heaps were divided into small piles according to their mutual familiarity, and the memories of the happy times in the city were being discussed lively, and the unkempt women and children wrapped in them were crying one after another. If it weren't for the banners still being erected by the ministries, others would still think that the government was going to open warehouses for the first time to release grain.

While it was busy, there was a rhythmic sound of horses' hooves and cries from the south. Everyone at the bottom of the slope heard the sound and looked back at the past, only to see that the cavalry of thousands of people in front of him was still in a long snake queue, Wang Biao's horse position was almost the same as Zhao Hu, and the rear was divided into eight main and deputy hundred households, almost uniformly put on the armor pulled from the official army mountain, with helmets.

Only from the flanks can you see that behind the cavalry, there are also groups of foot soldiers rushing to this side, their steps are not neat, but the appearance of the army is definitely neat, there is no sound of play, neatly filling the only vacant position under the hillside.

When someone was drinking and eating meat in the city, they mentioned how it was rare to see Yang Kai's soldiers come to celebrate, and on the day of the victory celebration, they also ran to the field outside the city all day long, saying that it was a drill, but everyone thought they were stupid.

Isn't it hard enough to fight all day long, you should indulge yourself when you should have fun, and now when you see them with such momentum, you can't help but be speechless, even those hesitant women, they can't help but cover the mouths of the children around them in a panic to stop crying, and follow everyone's blank eyes to look at this army that is completely different from them.

After the cavalry filled the vacant position, Wang Biao raised the tiger flag, and the flag commander behind him flipped the small flag, and the eight main and deputy hundred households behind him, each leader listed four formations, and still maintained the queue of the generals in front of the soldiers, and everyone held the horse's head to let the mount not be restless.

The rear first archers, and then the foot soldiers followed suit, successively divided into four formations, and made up the tail of the cavalry array in front, the soldiers were so solemn that they could not look like they, and the sound of the guns and spears being put down in unison frightened some people's hearts.

Yang Kai, Han Bin, and Cao Mang led a few thousand households to follow from the flanks and came to Gao Yingen. Everyone had never seen such friendly troops, even Gao Yingen on the slope watched blankly as Yang Kai turned over and dismounted, and walked up to him:

"Why did you stop to rest at this time?"

They received a quick attack order from Lao Hui, and it really didn't make sense to stop here to rest and recuperate, Gao Yingen finally woke up in his question, and remembered the words he had already prepared in his heart:

"Ah, this is what I have commanded you to come and discuss. Let's rest in place first, and I have important matters to discuss with the old management team. ”

At this time, the discussion was only delayed, Yang Kai turned his head and gave a command, and the three armies gathered a solemn look, and everyone sat down on the spot, and the formation was still not scattered. Yang Kai nodded with satisfaction, and under the attention of everyone, followed Gao Yingen to the flank of the hillside.

Under the slope, with the arrival of Yang Kai's army, the three battalions of soldiers and soldiers who became silent with the arrival of Yang Kai's army were bustling again, and many people still gathered around, looking at the treasured animals, looking around at this army that was incompatible with them.

There are a lot of fingers, and there are many people who envy and mock, Yang Kai's soldiers, who have practiced for a whole period of time, boasted that they have learned a lot of skills, among which the old pawns are suppressed by the new pawns, and they are even more irritable, coupled with the lack of indulgence, at this time, all of them are like powder kegs that burn at one point.

Where do they see people around them judging and talking about long and short things? A foot soldier who originally only talked to his brothers turned his head and said loudly to everyone: "Look at your mother, a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, do you know what an army is?" I don't want to be beaten and rolled. ”

"You dog, who are you crooked melons and cracked dates?" Seeing that he was looked down upon, he shouted one after another, driven by a strong man with a full face and a meaty face.

The generals who are full of soldiers, the mood at this moment, are all the same as their own hundred households, all day of drills, although they are very tired, but since they have lost the habits of activities on the belly of their wives, and the time to spend all day drinking, their spirits have become super vigorous, and everyone is thinking about how to find an opportunity to show the skills they have learned during this time, so as to surprise others.

Now just wait for someone to stand up, as long as they touch the corner of their clothes, they will have an excuse to make a move, and they will beat these idle and irresponsible guys, and when the head of the house asks for the guilt, they will tell the other family to do it first, they are just self-defense.

The strong man didn't know what these people were thinking, so he just walked straight to the Baihu, but saw that the Baihu, who was so thin that he didn't know if he could withstand his punch, stood up and dared to look at him.

You must know that Yang Kai's subordinates, the reorganized hundred households, most of them are evil men who carried dozens of lives on their backs in the battle of Shanshan, killing people is already as simple as slaughtering dogs for them, how can they lose to others in temperament because their figure is far inferior? I saw that his eyes were calm, and he grinned:

"That's what I'm talking about, what?"

The strong man saw that his eyes were fierce, and the brothers behind him did not have the slightest intention of helping, they all looked up, and the heat of his eyes did not mean to look at his leader's joke, and he suddenly doubted in his heart, but the words had already been said to this, he had already ridden the tiger and was difficult, and in hesitation, he still rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight with the other party.

Unexpectedly, a person suddenly came out from behind him, and even said that the leader behind him had something important to do with him, and pulled him away. The hundred households spat in the direction he left, and the generals behind him all applauded loudly.

At that time, Cai Qian heard the movement, and also walked over from the front, and when he came to the side of the hundred households, he did not scold him at the first time, but looked at the onlookers and reprimanded: "Scattered, scattered, what are you doing around, looking for death?" ”

In the battle of the mountain stream, everyone had seen Cai Qian's bravery, and knew that he was the core figure of Yang Kai's department.

When I turned around, I saw that the hundred households had come to Cai Qian's side gently, and said in a low voice: "Qianhu, if I remember well, that guy is the Tan Sibu personal soldier who took the lead in the battle and retreated in the army of the Siege of Shanshan, causing us to not be able to capture the enemy's head, and he is really hateful like a fly, or we will do him?" ”

"Be your mother!" Cai Qian gritted his teeth and was about to give him a chestnut, but he only raised his hand and didn't knock it down yet. "Xingzi, don't know to do this and that all day long, they are still very useful to the master, what's the use of being him, we should only be those who can benefit us, understand?"

These hundred households are called Sun Xing, and they didn't seem to understand what they said, scratched their heads, and heard Cai Qian say again: "However, you did a good job this time, you didn't lose face to the family, and you are fine, why don't you sit down quickly?" When the family comes back in a while, I will definitely want you to look good. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"
