271 Pre-war preparations

Let's just say that it is certainly not a good thing for this messenger to deliver news in the winter.

Since ancient times, how can there be a war in the winter?

Especially this winter, it was surprisingly cold - even marching outdoors was enough for people, let alone picking up weapons to fight.

My uncle, seems to have a little problem with his brain......

Even if you have to compete with Qin for the title of overlord, you might as well fight again in the spring of next year.

In this big New Year, leaving home to fight, swallowing wind and snow, can the morale of the soldiers be high?

Seeing Xiong Wuliang's strange face, the messenger hurriedly explained in detail...... When he learned the origin of this battle, it was Wei Ran who asked the King of Chu for his own ...... Xiong Wuliang's face is even more strange!

Bengbu live spicy!

Are these Qin people stunned?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The king sternly refused, beat Wei Ran out of the stick, and then worshiped the prince as a general, commanding 50,000 troops to resist the Qin army! The messenger said.

Xiong Wuliang was still 10,000 unwilling in his heart just now...... At this moment, it's still acceptable.

This battle is for his own free body!

It is absolutely impossible for Xiong Wuliang to serve the Qin State - the Qin people have a grudge against the Marquis of Quyang for killing their father, and the high-ranking officials of the Qin State are high-risk occupations...... Since the Qin State is struggling with each other, they can't hide from it...... Then beat him up!

The envoy said respectfully: "Please prepare as soon as possible, take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, and go to Yingdu to receive the letter of the military talisman!" ”

……

The fiefdom, which was sealed by heavy snow, was lively again.

The New Year is approaching, and leaving his hometown to fight at the border at this time is really difficult for Xiong Wuliang to speak.

It's like you're about to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the leader calls you to work overtime.

Xiong Wuliang planned to use the method of volunteering to go on the expedition, selecting 35,000 people from the 10,000 Quyang new army to accompany him on the expedition...... But when these sergeants heard that they were going to fight with the Qin State, they all signed up enthusiastically.

"The Qin people have a blood feud with me! This battle must be fought! ”

"My brother died at the hands of the Qin people in the Battle of Danyang...... The hateful corpse was separated, and in the end, only a head could be carved and buried hastily...... Every time I think of this, my heart hurts! ”

"Kill Qin Man, welcome your father's heroic spirit home!"

"Listen, my sonβ€”if you kill the Qin soldiers on this trip, you will also chop off their heads and avenge your father!"

……

The fiefdom quickly became popular - the Qin State and the Chu State had a great enmity, and when it came to the Qin State, every household could name two or three blood debts.

Now that they are going to fight with the Qin State, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies is surprisingly high...... I didn't care about the New Year, so I packed up my armor one by one, brought my ordnance, and went to the battlefield with the lord.

Those soldiers of the new army who migrated from the former Yue State, although they did not have such a deep blood feud with the Qin State, were also infected by such an atmosphere.

For a time, the fiefdoms of the four counties were very lively!

The sergeants packed well, and the old mother and wife gathered around the stove, took out the dark bacon jerky that was originally reserved for Chinese New Year's Eve, and put it into the soldiers' bags while giving thousands of instructions.

In less than two days, 10,000 soldiers of the New Army had been assembled and were waiting for the review of the little lord in the school field.

Zhong Hua came to Xiong Wuliang - since Zhong Hua lost the five fingers of his right hand, this guy seems to have let himself go, he wears coarse cloth clothes on weekdays, and rarely wears a sword or armor.

But today's Zhong Hua is actually dressed in a full set of armor, carrying a short sword and a war bow at his waist, and carrying a large shield - a typical image of a samurai.

"The land of Danyang is the place where the ancestors died." Zhong Hua gritted his teeth.

"There are more than 700 brothers in Paoze, all of whom died in Danyang, and their bodies have not been returned to their homes to this ......"

"Every time I think of this, Zhong hates it deeply!"

"Now that the little prince is going to fight Danyang with the Qin people, the old minister will definitely fight to the death to avenge the revenge of the ancestors! If you can't win by fighting, you're willing to die in battle and follow your ancestors! Zhong Hua's words were loud.

Xiong Wuliang took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a while.

The land of Danyang is the place of heartbreak in the line of Quyang.

Now that he wants to return to Danyang to fight, the opponent he faces is still the hateful Qin people...... It is also reasonable that the fiefdom is boiling up and down.

Like Zhong Hua, an old guy who has always been calm, he is so excited...... The morale of the young men must have been even higher...... Putting aside the situation of the 50,000 Chu troops for the time being, anyway, the 10,000 Quyang soldiers under his command definitely do not have low morale!

Xiong Wuliang patted Zhong Hua on the shoulder, put on a heavy fur cloak, and climbed onto the high platform-

As far as the eye could see, 10,000 Quyang new troops stood like a forest, silent in the cold wind.

Xiong Wuliang wanted to say a few words to boost morale, but at this time, he found that he didn't seem to need to say anything.

Zhong Hua took a step forward, raised his arms and shouted: "Revenge with Qin!" ”

The 10,000 Iron Party side formation made a tsunami-like voice: "Revenge with Qin!" ”

"Revenge with Qin!"

"Great Chu Wansheng!"

……

Intensively planning a pass - in this battle, Qu Yuan still stayed in the fiefdom and summoned the slip to go out with the army.

Shaohu commanded 10,000 Quyang New Army, and Zhong Hua commanded 800 pro-military camps, all of which were dispatched.

Huang Wu and Yin Yu's Qing Yu Wei and Black Yu Wei had already taken the lead and went to the land of Danyang to collect information.

This battle is a winter battle, which is rare in ancient times.

Especially this winter, it was exceptionally cold...... Xiong Wu's conscience knows very well that this battle is not a conspiracy and a battle of wits and courage...... Fighting is logistical ability!

Who can resist longer in the wind and snow and have less non-combat attrition...... Whoever wins!

"All the furs that were purchased were made into warm coats and distributed to the whole army." Xiong Wuliang commanded.

The state of Chu did not produce furs - these furs were the specialties of the northern Yan, Zhao, Qin and other countries.

After being transported to the fiefdom, the price increased several times, which is also considered high.

Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang has a lot of family resources.

All the furs, whether they were cheap sheepskins or expensive tiger bearskins, were used to protect the expeditionary soldiers from the cold.

Shi Er agreed: "The minister obeys!" ”

"From now on, the production of brocade and cloth will stop exporting and will be used to make thick clothes!"

"The industrial park is fully committed to burning charcoal for the army!"

Xiong Wuliang gave several orders in one breath, and Shi Er agreed to them.

A few days later, 10,000 Quyang new troops marched to the Danyang front line under the leadership of Shaohu.

And Xiong Wuliang took 800 personal soldiers and went straight to Yingdu to accept the salute of King Chu Huai.

……

"Da Sima, Quyang Marquis go to the palace to meet ......" The warriors outside the hall shouted loudly.

Xiong Wuliang shook the snow on his shoulders - the military situation was urgent, and he was not allowed to change his clothes and rest in the post station, and as soon as he arrived in Yingdu, he came directly to see King Chu Huai.

Xiong Wuliang at this moment is still very embarrassed.

I couldn't take care of it anymore, Xiong Wuliang was dressed properly, strode into the hall, and didn't bother to take care of those whispering Zhaoju henchmen, and went straight to King Chu Huai in the middle of the hall and said-

……
