Chapter 183: The Preface to the Great War

Before the enthusiastic sun rose, Hu Wei put away the ash gun, wiped his sweat, and walked around the Dongwang City. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network

Hu Wei has now moved from the military tent to the City Lord's Mansion, and the 200,000 soldiers of the Blizzard Legion have all been stationed in the city from outside the city. The newly built Dongwang City is very large enough to accommodate them all.

In the distance, there was a neat sound of slogans, which were the soldiers of the Legion in practice. Due to the frantic expansion of the army, Hu Wei now has ten divisions in his hands, and of course all of them are named after immortal birds. The name Blizzard Legion is getting fading away now.

It's a vibrant city, and like Hu Wei, many people get up early to start the day's work. From time to time, when someone passes by, they will recognize Hu Wei, and then greet Hu Wei like an old friend. Hu Wei also responded very kindly. When passing by the morning market, there are some elderly people who will warmly invite Hu Wei to share breakfast. And Hu Wei always smiled and politely pushed it away.

This kind of thing happens almost every day, and the people of the city are not surprised by it. Everyone is used to the appearance of the actual ruler of this Dongwang City by their side. When there was no war, Hu Wei always liked to be among the people like this, without the slightest arrogance, and the people of the city also supported him.

The newly built Dongwang City has already made up the intention of a city, and it is probably more appropriate to say that it is a castle. Hu Wei not only spent a lot of money and manpower at the beginning of the construction of the city, arranged all kinds of city fortifications, but also established an identity file for every citizen of the city and gave him an identification card. People who don't have an identity card will receive a lot of attention in Dongwang City, and if they want to do something that damages Dongwang City, they will immediately have difficulties.

Don't look at the very leisurely appearance of these old city citizens, in fact, they are all worrying informants, and they all have tasks. Their task is to report special events or unreasonable phenomena that occur every day to the Ministry of People's Livelihood, a department specially set up by Hu Wei.

This Ministry of People's Livelihood is a department similar to the Intelligence Department set up by Hu Wei. It specializes in collecting all kinds of people's livelihood data, which is summarized and sorted out by professional personnel, finding out the key points, and then directly reported to Hu Wei.

Hu Wei will follow the uploaded information to understand the big and small things in Dongwang City, and give certain handling advice. Don't underestimate this Ministry of People's Livelihood, and don't underestimate those old people. Do you think they are all reporting on the theft of chickens by the Zhang family and the theft of people by the Li family?

To run a city is a different thing than to run an army. In this regard, Hu Wei has a lot to learn. This Ministry of People's Livelihood is a tentacle of his learning.

"General, it's early. ”

A pair of embroidered cloth shoes appeared in front of Hu Wei's eyes, with a white long skirt and a purple belt, Hu Wei didn't need to look at it to know that it was Chu Zhu.

This Chu Zhu, since he bought ten percent of the equity of the legion at a high price, he has not been a worrying maid anymore. She went back to the school she opened and taught the children literacy every day.

Hu Wei had been to that school to see it, but nothing special was there. Chu Zhu's identity is still like a mystery, making it difficult to guess.

Hu Wei smiled: "You are also early, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be beautiful again." ”

"Really? It can't be a lie. Chu Zhu said as he took out a handkerchief from his body and naturally wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead for Hu Wei. In the past, when she was a maid, she used to do this, so it didn't seem very sudden.

"Thank you. After Hu Wei waited for Chu Zhu to withdraw his hand, he thanked him.

"Hehe, when did the general become so polite. Chu Zhu smiled like a flower, and put away the handkerchief that had wiped the sweat for Hu Wei: "You never said thank you before." ”

Hu Wei smiled: "At that time, you were my maid, and everything you did was right." ”

Chu Zhu stuck out his tongue and said, "But you have never paid anyone." ”

Hu Youhou cheekily said: "You are richer than me, you won't care about that, hehe"

Chu Zhu was right, Hu Wei really didn't pay Chu Zhu a copper plate salary. Chu Zhu followed him for more than a month, which was in vain.

"It's better to say that you swallowed other people's wages. Chu Zhu glanced at Hu Wei, and changed his tone and said, "I heard that the general intends to start a war with Baohuai City?"

Speaking of the military, the smile on Hu You's face was put away at once, and he asked thoughtfully: "Who have you heard of?" ”

Hu Wei will start a war with Baohuai City in the near future, and now only he and Hongye know. Ma Zeben, who has not received the order yet, probably doesn't even know yet.

Chu Zhu smiled and said: "Some things are not so difficult to know, I still have things, I have to go first." I wish the general a victorious return. ”

Looking at the white dress that was gradually moving away, a trace of coldness shot in Hu Wei's eyes. One day, he will find out the secret of this Chu Zhu.

This time, Hu Wei chose to start a war with Ma Zeben, in fact, from two aspects. On the one hand, Hu Wei needs the resources of Baohuai City. Not only the iron resources of Baohuai City, but also the human, material and financial resources of Baohuai City.

On the other hand, Hu Wei wanted to borrow the 100,000 local garrisons in Ma Zeben's hands to train his troops. This time the army was expanded by 150,000, bringing the total strength of the legion to 200,000. In terms of numbers, the army has increased, but in terms of combat strength, it still needs to be greatly strengthened.

Hu Wei needs to use the battlefield to let these 150,000 recruits grow up quickly to cope with the unpredictable environment in the future. You must know that the Chihe Empire has been at war with the Sebai Empire for many years, and there is never a shortage of veterans in their army. Instead of letting those recruits encounter those terrible enemies as soon as they appear, it is better to let them fight with the local troops, hammer them with blood and fire, and let them grow up quickly.

Zhu Daneng walked into Hu Wei's study and reported to Hu Wei, who was looking at the map: "Boss, Baohuai City suddenly cut off the supply of iron ore to us, and threatened to stop selling us iron ore from now on. Master Lu You is jumping over this, what do you think we should do?"

Is it coming? Hu Wei sneered in his heart, and said to Zhu Daneng: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and he won't be able to sell it if he wants to." ”

Zhu Daneng looked at Hu Wei with some surprise: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Hu Wei snorted coldly: "My meaning is very simple, if he doesn't sell it, then we will take it ourselves." ”

Zhu Daneng said excitedly: "Boss, do you mean to start a war with Ma Zeben?"

Hu Wei laughed and said, "What's the matter, your hands are itchy?"

Zhu Daneng missed: "It's been itchy for a long time, my bones haven't been on the battlefield for more than a year, I really miss the days of blood and fire." ”

Hu Wei put down the map in his hand, stood up and said, "Don't worry, you have to fight." ”

Baohuai City, the city lord's mansion of Ma Zeben, is holding a military meeting at this time.

"Who the hell made you startle the snake, didn't I say that before you send troops, you are not allowed to act rashly" At the meeting, Ma Zeben jumped to his feet and scolded.

Ma Zeben scolded a town guard, who was in charge of the sale and purchase of iron ore in Baohuai City. The town guard said weakly: "Lord City Guard, I didn't act rashly. I'm just cutting off the supply of iron ore in Dongwang City, and that Hu Wei shouldn't know that we're going to fight him.

Besides, we're all going to go to war with him, so there's no reason to provide him with iron ore and let him process weapons. ”

Ma Zeben saw that this town guard still dared to fight back, he was really angry that the first Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha was born, slapped the table and scolded: "You know a fart." Hu Wei is that kid, he is as fine as a ghost, and he will know immediately if there is any trouble.

If he has a pig's brain like you, he can go from a small soldier to a cattle man with 500,000 horses in just over two years?"

The town guard seems to have taken the wrong medicine today, and he actually dared to open his mouth to correct Ma Zeben's mistake: "Lord City Guard, Hu Wei only has 200,000 troops, and he can't claim to have 500,000. ”

Ma Zeben was so angry, if the law didn't matter, he would have cut down this town guard a long time ago. Oh, it's wrong, Ma Zeben is the king of law in Baohuai City, and the law really can't control him. The reason why he didn't cut down this town guard was because this town guard was his own brother.

"Ma Zecao, you sit down for me. Ma Zemu, who was beside Ma Zecao, saw that the wind was wrong, and quickly pulled Ma Zecao away and sat down.

Ma Zemu is different from Ma Zecao, he was born with a smart mouth and is very good at talking. He deliberately made Ma Zecao unhappy, and then he spoke: "Big brother, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of that nonsense.

Although he now has 200,000 horses, 150,000 of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and they have only been in the army for a few months.

There were 50,000 veterans, and all of them were defeated goods. They haven't won a decent battle in Qingzhou, and we don't need to be afraid of them.

Although that Hu Wei has some ability, he is just a person, and he can't make much movement. As long as we guard against his elusive black arrows, we'll be fine.

Since you are afraid that he will be nervous, we might as well send troops immediately and catch him off guard. This time, the Valencian Emperor handed over the task to us Baohuai City, but the opportunity of our Ma family, as long as we do it beautifully, the benefits today will definitely not be less. Aren't you an aspiring state guard?"

"Hmm" Ma Zemu's words made Ma Zeben's anger disappear a lot. They are all their own brothers, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and it is useless to be angry at this time.

In his opinion, fighting a war is a very professional thing, and it is not a military uniform and a knife that can become a soldier.

"In that case, let's just. Command the troops, get ready for battle"

Ma Zeben is still very confident in his troops. Although he only has 100,000 people, in terms of numbers, there are fewer worries, but his 100,000 people have combat experience, and all of them are ruthless characters. Usually when he is fine, he will pretend to be a horse thief, rob a caravan or something, and beat up a miner, which is a whip that can bleed. Those recruits who are worried about it, in front of them, are not enough to look at Ben. This time Valencia gave them the opportunity to do something beautiful. The state guard, the old Ma family has never been a state guard

"My lord, Ma Zeben's troops are almost there. How are we going to do it. Hou San rubbed his hands and asked Hu Wei again. This was the third time he couldn't help but ask Hu Wei.

Hou San can't help but be in a hurry, this time in order to deal with Ma Zeben's attack, the four, five, six, and seven divisions of the ten divisions of the immortal bird have already received the task. His Immortal Bird First Division has the title of No. 1, but it has never even come out of the nest, so what can it be.

Hu Wei glared at Hou San and said, "What are you anxious about, you are now the commander of the division, you must learn to be calm, don't keep jumping around in front of me, sit down first." ”

As early as after Hu Wei received the news from Ximen Yufeng, he had already spread scouts widely, and every move of Baohuai City was all in his eyes.

"Red Leaves, the Eighth Division of the Immortal Bird, where is the position now?"

Momiji came to the map and drew a circle: "According to your previous order, they have sneaked to the east of Baohuai City, and they can raid Baohuai City at any time." ”

Hu Wei nodded and said, "Well, good job." Hopefully he won't let me down this time. ”

Hu Wei glanced at Hou San, who was fidgeting, and shouted, "Hou San." ”

Hou San jumped up, took three steps and did two steps, and ran to Hu Wei: "In, in, my lord, it's finally coming to us, what am I doing?"

Hu Wei pointed a seat on the map with his hand and said, "This time, I will give you a task, you take a thousand people to Fangshan Town." ”

Hou San suddenly had a bitter face: "General, then Link went to Baohuai City to bring 10,000 people, and I only brought 1,000 people, is it a little less." Give more, otherwise this quota is not enough, and the brothers below will have to scold me to death. Our Immortal Bird Special Combat Team is your old subordinate, you can't do this. ”

"Finished?" Hu Wei looked at Hou San coldly. Hu You, when there is no war, he can do anything, once there is a war, he is definitely the master of the same.

Hou San saw that Hu Wei was unhappy, and quickly covered his mouth. During this time, with the increasing power in his hands, he was a little complacent.

Hou San lowered his head and said, "That's it, general." ”

Hu Wei snorted coldly and said: "You know my temper, this time for the sake of the old brother, I will forget it, and next time I will bargain, and the military law will wait." ”

The beads of sweat on Hou San's head came down, and he replied again and again: "Yes, yes, general, Hou San remembers." There is no next time, absolutely not. ”

"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded and said, "Your task is to defend the mountain town." Soret, you know, you go and get him back for me. I don't care what you do, I want to live. That's it. ”

Hou San took Hu Wei's order arrow on one knee: "Yes, the general will get the order." ”

Hu Wei watched Hou San go out, and then set out the arrow and said, "Chen Dali." ”

Chen Dali came out: "The last general." ”

Hu Wei said: "I ordered you to guard the cave Wang City, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes, General. Chen Dali ordered to leave.

As the generals were ordered to leave, Harrison was the only one who did not receive military orders. Faced with such a situation, even with Harrison's composure, he couldn't sit still.

"My lord, what are we doing with the second regiment?" Harrison finally asked.

Because the second regiment led by Harrison, that is, the former slave camp, when the city was built, it was very good, and it was affirmed by Hu Wei. Therefore, the second regiment of the immortal bird was the first unit in the legion to be equipped with war horses. Harrison now had 10,000 horses in his hands, and his troops were readjusted to 10,000. In other words, Harrison's Second Regiment of Immortal Birds is an all-cavalry unit.

From slave soldier to cavalry, it's not just a matter of having one more horse. Slave soldiers are a special group, although they don't call anything on the surface, in fact, deep down, there is a little self-pity. Hu Wei gave them horses, which was equivalent to giving them self-confidence. Let their status in the army be raised all at once.

Hu Wei said: "The second regiment's mission this time is relatively heavy, I want you to take people around the outer battlefields and capture as many soldiers as possible for me." Remember, I only need soldiers. ”

After everyone received the order to leave, Hu Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, this battle was the first battle in Dongwang City, and it was also the first battle in which Hu Wei obtained the military power of the legion, and the significance was so important that it must not be lost.

If it is fought well, it can build up strong confidence for Dongwang City and the legion. In order to lay out this battle, Hu Wei has not closed his eyes for two days. He had calculated all the possible things in his mind, and this time, he must win.

A pair of jade hands gently pressed on Hu Wei's temples. Jade Hand is from Red Leaves, and only she knows how much pressure Hu Wei's psychology has.

This is a war deliberately provoked by Hu You, and Hongye knows that Hu Wei's biggest purpose is to train his troops. However, this is not a drill, and in the training of blood and fire, there must be people who want to stain the yellow sand with blood.

Hu Wei wanted to train the soldiers, but he didn't want the soldiers to lose too much, so he stayed up all night in order to find the best way to find the best way. Although Ma Zeben only had 100,000 horses, his soldiers were well-equipped and experienced in combat. It is not easy to defeat them with 150,000 rookie soldiers and 50,000 remnants. The side with a large number of people does not necessarily win, let alone win completely, and there are fewer deaths. It's a lot of nerves.

"Report, general, twenty miles outside Dongwang City, the vanguard of the enemy army is now"

"It's coming. Hu Wei stood up in a military uniform, and his eyes shot the resolute light in front of him: "Order all team sites to prepare to meet the enemy"

"Yes"

"Momiji, Jebel, follow me to the city, let's let Ma Zeben try it today, the power of our Dongwang City I want to make Dongwang City become Ma Zeben's nightmare!"
