Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 72 The General Arrives
Although there had been no major war between Izumo and the other three kingdoms for hundreds of years, there were occasional skirmishes along the border, and Togo often entered the Izumo waters to drive away fishing boats, and even did not wear a military flag to pretend to be pirates to plunder merchant ships.
As the frontier, Langya Water Village had to assume the responsibility of escorting and protecting the territory, and competed with the Dongwu Water Division all the year round, and the two coaches also knew each other very well.
On this day, the commander of the Langya Navy Division, Shangguan Wuji, was deducing the battle situation with several generals on the sea chart with military chess, and confronted the vanguard of Dongwu for several days, and his own side was at a disadvantage, and many ships were lost.
Just because the Dongwu Water Division is equipped with a new type of firearm, this kind of firearm is accompanied by loud noise and fire when fired, and the range is more than twice as much as that of the Langya Water Division's ballista, he can beat you but you can't beat him, Langya can only be beaten passively.
There has been a saying since ancient times that the width of the sea area owned by the country depends on the range of your ballista.
According to the information obtained, the firearm used by Dongwu is called the 'Thunderbolt Vulcan Cannon', which is written by the Thunderbolt Hall, and there is no more detailed explanation other than that.
When Shangguan Wuji was in a state of grief when the enemy situation was unknown, the herald came to report that a fleet of ships flying military flags had come from Shuizhai, and the person who came claimed to be the vanguard general appointed by the emperor himself.
Shangguan Wuji was in high spirits when he heard that reinforcements were coming, and immediately led the generals out of the gate to greet him, but when he saw that there were only dozens of broken boats, his mood turned sharply.
Looking at the hundreds of people on the ship who were dressed in coarse linen clothes, some were carrying rice bags, and some were waiting to get off the ship with vegetables, which reinforcements were not much different from those who fled.
Although disappointed, but after all, these are also for the country, or the first to meet the general of His Majesty's personal title, at this time it must be a good general who said in a loud voice: "Where is your general?" ”
As a general, Yun Hao was not in a hurry to see the governor of the capital after entering the water village, since ancient times, the soldiers were in a nest of generals, as long as he first looked at the state of the sergeant, he knew the general's ability to lead the troops, because he took the yellow satin edict and quickly walked around the barracks unimpeded.
At this time, Yun Hao walked over the land with a folding fan and said, "General Ben just made a rough tour of the barracks, and the military appearance is acceptable, but the morale is a little low, and you can be regarded as doing a good job." ”
Shangguan Wuji was puzzled: "Who are you?" ”
Yun Hao straightened his clothes and said: "The partial general Yun Hao personally appointed by Emperor Izumo is also, you can take the edict here." ”
Shangguan Wuji chuckled in his heart, he thought that a good general would come, but looking at Yun Hao's posture, it was clear that he was Brother Gongzi, and it seemed that the young master of the imperial court member must have come to the military camp to gild, and he would wait for a while to ask for some military merits to make a name for himself.
Therefore, Shangguan Wuji didn't plan to read the edict at all, and asked the school officials to arrange a place for them to go, while he and the generals went back to the commander's tent to continue to study the tactics of war.
Shangguan Wuji let out a long breath, gathered his mind and asked, "Where is the vanguard of the enemy army now?" ”
This time, the opponent was not the Changping Lake defender, but a general 'Shi Liang' who had never met before, this person's tactics were cunning and changeable, and his line of conduct was also different from that of previous opponents, so it was difficult to judge the direction of his attack, which made the defense very difficult.
The general pointed to the chart and replied: "They attacked several fishing villages near the rocky beach yesterday, and by the time we arrived, it was too late, and this was the last time they were discovered. ”
Shangguan Wuji slammed his fist on the chart and said, "I can only strengthen coastal patrols and tell the chief of the coastal fishing village to temporarily move the villagers inland." ”
"Fishermen depend on the sea for food, and it is not difficult for them to relocate, but they are not suitable for farming, and it may be difficult for them to make a living. ”
Shangguan Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "Allocate some military rations for relief, and then let people go to the city to collect grain, those big jade merchants have earned a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, and they should be allowed to bleed, but if the merchants do not produce food, let the soldiers come to eat every day." ”
"By the way, let the new boy do it, and if it's done, I'll send him away as soon as possible."
At this time, he took Yun Hao to the junior colonel of the station, and came back to report: "Governor Dadu, the new general said that he wanted a battalion of soldiers and horses, saying that it was His Majesty's will. ”
Shangguan Wuji was upset, and said angrily: "People are not big and officials are not addicted, give it to him!" The T-shaped battalion was transferred to his command. ”
The general immediately said: "Dadu Governor, the T-shaped battalion is actually some old and weak soldiers, after all, he came with His Majesty's edict to offend." ”
Shangguan Wuji was not used to it, and roared: "If you are a person who can lead soldiers, even if you are old, weak, sick and disabled, you can train into a tiger and wolf army. ”
Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was angry, the junior colonel trembled and said, "He also said that he wanted military uniforms, ordnance, and grain and grass. ”
"Give it to him! But you can't give him a boat or a boat, just let him stay on land honestly. "Shangguan Wuji knows the virtues of these sons, if he really dies outside when he goes to sea to play, it will be troublesome.
He also said、、、 "The little school only started talking, but did not dare to continue."
Shangguan Wuji was so angry that he almost slapped the table, "What else did he say?" ”
"He said there would be a military intelligence meeting later, so everyone waited." The little colonel was already sweating profusely after speaking.
This really made Shangguan Wuji laugh angrily, "Does he have any misunderstanding about the position of a partial general, you go and tell him, saying that he doesn't have time to play with him, let him stay where he is cool." ”
The little colonel took the order and fled away from the tent, he was naturally not stupid enough to repeat the original words of his boss to Yun Hao, only saying that the governor of the capital understood that the general needed to rest well when he first arrived, and the military affairs were not in a hurry.
The lieutenant first led the Quartermaster Department of Yun Hao Dao to receive the required items, and only after he was busy did he bring the soldiers of the T-shaped battalion allocated to Yun Hao to the station.
Responsible for receiving is the former Haiyan Hall stall head Zhang Beihai, before joining the Three Rivers Society, he had joined the army to serve, the past experience in the army is just used to train soldiers, since arriving at the station, Li Fengbo and Jiang Liuer received Yun Hao's order, with the same five hundred brothers out to do business, only Zhang Beihai is worried that there is nothing to do, the T-shaped battalion will be sent to the door.
But when he saw the military appearance of the T-shaped battalion, Zhang Beihai was not happy, not to mention the old, weak, wounded and disabled soldiers of this battalion, not to mention the total number of horizontal and vertical less than 1,000 people, not to mention the battle, even the march was difficult.
Among them, there are many wounded soldiers, and it takes a lot of effort to recuperate and heal the wounds, think about where you have come to join the army to fight, it is clear that you are here to do miscellaneous!
Zhang Beihai left the barracks before because he couldn't get used to seeing the generals squeezing out each other, the quartermaster eating empty salaries, and the military leaders drinking the blood of the soldiers, but he didn't think that even if there was an edict from Emperor Izumo this time, he still couldn't escape this so-called old rule.
