Chapter 30: The Great Army Begins
"Bo Xiao is really in such a hurry!" , Zhong Xuan, who was dressed in an official uniform, took the newly recruited officials in the government to the military camp where he was busy packing up materials, and looked at Jiang Qi, a young man who had been in contact for several months and had already become a confidant, and asked.
Although Zhong Xuan looked nervous, Jiang Qi, who was busy, did not answer in a panic until he finished sending the last tiger talisman in his hand, and then turned around and said: "Brother, I am a general of the Han Dynasty, and the military order is like a mountain, Qi has to follow, Qi wants to brother and also hopes that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible!" ”
"That, I don't have much to say for my brother, I will wait for my brother's affection, and I will keep it in mind. The battlefield sword has no eyes, and the virtuous brother must be careful. On the day of the triumph of the army, our brothers will reunite. Zhong Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart and said.
"These days, my brother's teachings, Qi will be used for life, and Qi will be waiting for my brother in Luoyang in the future." The separation was imminent, Jiang Qi solemnly said to this friend who was also a teacher and friend.
"Okay, on the day of the triumph of the virtuous brother, I will visit for the brother." , Zhong Xuan also solemnly replied.
"Fourth brother! The army is ready to go! At this moment, Guan Yu, who was dressed in armor, opened the curtain and saluted Jiang Qi and said.
Now Guan Yu has been relieved of the position of Sima of the Yuecai Battalion, and the position was successfully handed over to Zhang Fei, after the handover, Guan Yu was transferred to the Zhongjun Camp as the marching Sima, and commanded the whole army during Jiang Qi's absence.
"Okay, immediately give an order, Zhao Yunbu is the vanguard of the whole army, Tong Feibu is the rear escort material, Xu Huangbu follows the Chinese army, the Yue Cavalry Battalion guards the left and right, and let the whole battalion of the Sword Battalion go out to explore the road." , Hearing that the army was ready, Jiang Qi hurriedly ordered.
"No"
After receiving the order, Guan Yu turned around and went out of the tent, and when the personal soldiers moved the air army, Jiang Qi and others also followed. As Jiang Qi and the others walked out, the camp tent was overturned, and looking at the original dozens of camp tents, there was nothing left except for the ashes left by cooking.
The Han army pulled out the camp and left, and then the hundreds of soldiers who were ordered to garrison Changshe also lived in the big tent vacated by the Yue cavalry camp in Changshe City.
These soldiers who stayed behind were part of the wounded soldiers of the Han army who were originally left behind, and in addition to the wounded soldiers who stayed behind, the rest of the soldiers who were relatively strong after recovery were about 500 people, and they had been divided into three infantry battalions.
These wounded soldiers are now Jiang Qi's treasures, and since they can get off the battlefield alive, this kind of experience is a hundred times better than training.
With Jiang Qi's order after getting on his horse, the army began to march north, and thousands of battalions of the army gathered for several miles and marched slowly.
Unexpectedly, while marching, a warm scene appeared, the army walked along the official road all the way, until it walked out of the territory of Changshe, and there were people on both sides of the road who came spontaneously to see them off.
Kind-hearted people took out the dried meat and eggs that they had treasured at home for a long time and were reluctant to eat and stuffed them into the soldiers passing by.
Looking at the people who were gracious, the soldiers were moved to tears. Only then did they understand why their own generals would let them help the people do things every day.
Of course, Jiang Qi had already ordered the soldiers not to receive the items sent by the people. After the soldiers refused, they instead gave the dry food in their arms to the young children who saw them off, and the people were also moved to tears.
They all know that once the Banzai Army leaves, they may never see the army that treats them as relatives again in this life. At the same time, they were also worried that they didn't know how many people would survive this expedition.
The people looked at the departing soldiers with emotion, and when they saw Jiang Qi wearing gorgeous armor under the Qilin flag, with a sparse beard and a disheveled head, they began to bow down one after another.
In their hearts, this mighty young man has the virtue of regeneration for them, and there is an endless stream of 'Qilin Generals'. It was at this moment that Jiang Qi's nickname of 'General Qilin' began to spread.
Although the people and soldiers were very excited all the way, as the commander of the first army, Jiang Qi was surprisingly calm at the moment.
Jiang Qi didn't know the bottom of his heart about going north this time, after all, the Yellow Turban Army in the north was elite, and it could hold on to the Han Army for half a year without falling behind, and it could already be seen that they were powerful and resolute.
You must know that Lu Zhi, who is known for his strategy, and Dong Zhuo, who is known for his bravery, have not been able to take advantage, what can he do as a fledgling teenager.
Fortunately, Jiang Qi also knew that this time he was just opening the way as the vanguard of Huangfu Song, and as for how to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't have to worry too much about it at the moment.
Now that the war is starting, Jiang Qi should be worried about the soldiers under his command, for the thousands of people in his hands, although they are all young and strong who have been on the battlefield, but after all, the training is only more than three months, even if it seems to be orderly now, but after all, it has not been baptized by war, and it cannot be called an army.
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
The autumn breeze in August is the time to send cool, with the full opening of the Huangfu Song army, the devastated Yingchuan gradually restored calm, whether it is the Han army or the Yellow Turban army, it is a burden for the people. Fortunately, the people of Yingchuan were very lucky, and they were finally peaceful.
The army was in full swing, but Jiang Qibu, as the vanguard battalion, stopped and stopped, and the road was very steady, and it didn't look like it was rushing to the aid of the Changshe at all. After traveling eighty miles every day, he buried the pot to make rice, and Jiang Qi did not hide his whereabouts.
Of course, this time I went to Jizhou, which was controlled by most of the enemy army, Jiang Qi just wanted to hide, and it was not so easy, it was better to make a big show to strengthen the momentum, so that it could also save physical strength.
Of course, Jiang Qi also has his own ideas about why he is like this, and last time he was alone in the lead, which made him feel that there were some things that had to be guarded against. marched slowly all the way, so that they were soon caught up by the Chinese army led by Huangfu Song, and in the end the two were only a day's journey apart.
Regarding Jiang Qi's behavior, Huang Fu Song did not urge, Huang Fu Song was scheming, of course, he also knew the meaning of Mu Xiu Yu Lin, and now there are only a lot more people looking at him than Jiang Qi.
In this way, Jiang Qi and Huangfu Song seem to have a tacit understanding, I will go if you go, I will stop if you stop, and go towards the north without hurry.
But no matter how slow they go, there will be a day when they go, and their actions have made the time for the war much earlier.
In Guangzong City, in the tall mansion, the iron-clad general shouted to the golden-armored warrior who was surrounding the sheepskin map: "I have already seen the general of the people!" ”
"General Bu is here, come here," Seeing that his henchman Ai General was coming, Zhang Liang didn't say much, and directly pulled him to the map.
"Why is the general so nervous?" , Looking at Zhang Liang with a sad face, Bu Ji said with a solemn face.
"Our righteous army and the imperial court army have been facing each other for nearly half a year now, each with its own victory and defeat, and since the imperial court replaced Lu Zhi, the old horseman, our army has gained the upper hand." Zhang Liang pointed to the layout of the two armies on the map and said.
"Dong Zhuo, a man who sells his reputation and reputation, how can he be the opponent of the Heavenly Father and the Human Prince, within a month, the Han army will definitely be defeated!" Bu has sworn and said.
"But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, our spies came to report that the Han army that had already been probed was coming from Yanzhou, and the person who commanded the army was Huangfu Song, who defeated the Bocai army. And their vanguard officer is said to be the commander of the Yue cavalry battalion who burned the Changsha and was known to the world as the general of the Kirin. Zhang Liang said in a heavy tone.
"Hahaha, the Yue Cavalry Battalion is known as the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and everyone in the world knows it, but compared to the Xiliang Cavalry, it is not still beaten by our army, and the general only needs to give the people of the next school to take the head of the pioneer officer." Bu has laughed and said unexpectedly.
"Haha, good! Since General Bu is so confident, Nabu has listened to the order! Looking at Bu Ji, who was full of confidence and volunteered to ask for his life, Zhang Liang picked up a command flag on several cases and said.
"The last general!" Bu had hurriedly saluted.
"Order you to lead 10,000 elites to Yanzhou to resist the Han army, and it will only take one month to 、、、、," Zhang Liang ordered loudly.
"No, my humble position will not dishonor my reputation as a peace." Bu had already taken the order flag after receiving the order.
As soon as the military order was given, 10,000 well-equipped Yellow Turban troops came out of the south gate, and the Yellow Turban Army who went out just saw that they were all dressed in leather armor and holding standard weapons, which already explained the status of the army, not to mention that in addition to weapons and armor, there were also a small number of horses in the army that went out. The equipment of the army is so grand, which naturally shows that Zhang Liang attaches great importance to this battle.
When watching 10,000 elites rushing out of the city, the Han army, which was originally firmly surrounding Guangzong City, not only did not attack, but cooperated very well to get out of the way, so that the Yellow Turban Army could get out of the city without a fight.
Bu had already led the Yellow Turban army all the way to the starry night, and finally met the vanguard army led by Jiang Qi in Dongjun in Yanzhou.
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
"Lord Qiqi, I met a large number of moth thieves ten miles away, and I saw that there were more than 10,000 people under the banner, and I didn't mean to stop!"
Not long after leaving the eastern county town, I saw the scouts of the Han army's armor, and hurriedly reported to the young general in bright silver armor under the Chinese army.
"Probe!" , Regarding the sudden military situation, Jiang Qi ordered after frowning slightly.
"No、、、、"
Looking at the spies of the Sharp Arrow Battalion who were beating horses and leaving, Jiang Qi thought for a moment and said, "Order the whole army to immediately set up camp to resist the enemy!" Zhao Yun's division was on the left, Xu Huang's division was on the right, and the Yue cavalry battalion occupied the hillside five hundred steps away from the left side of the official road, and ordered the Tong Fei division of the rear army to step up the march! ”
"Nuo" Jiang Qi gave an order, and a few heralds with the order flag were quickly separated behind him, and they rode away.
"Second brother, yesterday General Huangfu said how far away is the army from our army?" The herald left, and Jiang Qi asked Guan Yu beside him.
"According to yesterday evening's intelligence, the two armies are one hundred and twenty miles apart, and if they travel day and night, they should be able to converge in the early morning of tomorrow." Guan Yu said. After gaining Jiang Qi's trust and handing over all the big and small affairs to him, Guan Yu can be said to know all the affairs in the camp by heart, and everything is done in an orderly manner.
"Send a messenger to explain the current situation of our army." Jiang Qi immediately ordered.
"No、、、"
With Jiang Qi's order, two phalanxes that soon occupied the advantageous terrain appeared on both sides of the official road, and the front of the formation was full of antlers, horses and other objects that had just been built to intercept the enemy's charge.
A hundred steps before the rejection of the horse are also full of bowl-sized traps, as long as the war horse passes, I don't know how many horse legs will be broken. Now that the enemy is not clear, Jiang Qi can only use the conservative Yanling Array to defend first.
But it would be a big mistake to say that Jiang Qi only defended and despised him, there was still an ace iron horse on the slope of the slope, ready to fight hard at any time under the command of the brave Zhang Fei. For a while, the official road was full of pre-killing solemnity.
Cangting and Dongjun, an inconspicuous small place, are now densely covered with two sabre-rattling armies.
Two armies with the same skin and the same language meet in a narrow way. If it weren't for the war, perhaps some of them would have become friends.
But now they have their own beliefs and missions, and they are destined to fight to the death. The soldiers in the battle formation now have only one idea, and that is to take out the enemy on the opposite side, no matter what the cost.
When he learned that he was blocked by about 3,000 Han troops in front of him, he rejected the persuasion of his generals and insisted on leading the army to kill.
The two armies faced each other, and they did not have any battle formations, relying on a completely ruthless force.
Of course, you can't blame Bu Ji, he didn't know a single word since he was a child, and he can get to this day by relying on a ruthless word. However, it is not accurate to say that he is a reckless man now, because when he looked at Jiang Qi's army, which was waiting for the battle, he did not hold it up, and quickly ordered the army to stop advancing and form a formation on the spot.
It's just that it's a formation, but the Yellow Turban Army, who has never been trained, knows the formation, and the so-called formation is just imitating Jiang Qijun in front of him and forming a large square formation.
Of course, the Yellow Turban Army, which has not received strict training, has no military literacy at all, and it would be good to be able to form a formation. The sparse phalanx naturally seems to have its own line, but not its god.
