Volume XVI Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1673 Where are the five major armies now
Hu Wei is not wrong, Avril is indeed playing with fire. Of course, she didn't feel that she was playing with fire, but that she was enjoying it, enjoying the pleasure of torturing Hu Wei.
I don't know if it's the influence of the chip implanted by Li Chenggong, or Avril's own temperament is like this, or because of her love-hate for Hu Wei, Avril has obviously mastered the ability to destroy Hu Wei's thousand-strong army in one fell swoop, but she just doesn't want to do that, she wants to play with Hu Wei slowly like a mouse playing with a cat, slowly, little by little, and then let Hu Wei succumb.
Because of this ideological dominance, Avril did not send a large army to deal with Hu Wei after receiving the information that Hu Wei had an abnormal movement, but only sent a team of 100 people. A hundred pure squads of black heroes were ordered to set off.
"Why only send a hundred?" Renata kept refusing to ask, but she really couldn't help it, and if she didn't ask this, she would think about it all the time.
"Because a hundred is enough. Avril replied lightly.
Avril had estimated the strength of Hu Wei, and a hundred black heroes was the upper limit of their enemies. This number will make Hu Wei very uncomfortable, but it will not make him completely incapable of resisting. At least, it won't kill him.
Renata looked at Avril's departing back and was silent for a long time. This woman was getting farther and farther away from the woman she knew, and she wanted to tell SΓΉ Renata that the one who plays with fire must **, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Sighing, Renata saw Hou Baowu when she was about to leave. Hou Baowu came here and was not arrested by Avril as a prisoner, and Avril gave him a lot of freedom. Except that Avril can only enter Avril's big tent with Avril's consent, Avril doesn't care where he wants to go.
Hou Baowu still didn't understand why Avril would do this to him, but Renata knew why Avril did this. The reason is very simple, because Hou Baowu is from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and his background and the relationship between his family and Hu Wei determine that no matter how big a mistake he makes, he is still a member of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Avril waited for Bowu to be by her side. It is to let Hou Baowu witness the process of her struggle with Hu Wei, that is, to be a witness.
It is unlikely that anyone else would have done something like Avril, but Avril can no longer judge by common sense, and Renata would not be surprised by what she would do.
"General Renata. Hou Baowu bowed to Renata very respectfully. It's not a military salute, because Hou Baowu no longer treats himself as a soldier at this time. After making a counter-judgment against the Han and Tang Dynasties, Hou Baowu felt that he was no longer worthy of being a soldier.
"Something?" Renata glanced at Hou Baowu. She and Hou San are also familiar with each other, and remember that Hou San used to be her subordinate back then. After that, everyone chose a different path. But that friendship didn't go away. In a state of war, everyone is in charge. It's the identity of the enemy, and when there's no fighting, they can sit down and have a drink.
Hou Baowu said with a smile: "I got up this morning and beat the head deer, Chunli stewed it, and I want to ask the general to taste it." β
Renata glanced at Hou Baowu deeply, nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'm welcome." β
Hou San is a master of hunting, and Hou Baowu, as Hou San's son, will naturally not be too bad at hunting. But he wasn't hunting to satisfy his hunger. Rather, there are other plans.
After analyzing the forces on Avril's side, Hou Baowu knew that with his ability, it was basically impossible to get a breakthrough from Avril Lavigne or Li Chenggong, who was a higher level. And Li Yunxing's status in the army is too low, and he is cunning, even if he wins it temporarily. It won't do much either, the only thing that is most useful is Renata.
Renata is relatively high-status in Avril's place, although Avril doesn't discuss military affairs with Renata much. She no longer accepts Renata's opinion as before, but she still has a certain amount of respect for Renata, and Avril will not touch Renata unless there is evidence that Renata has indeed betrayed. And as Renata, she can naturally get a lot of action plans about Avril. This alone is very useful to Hou Baowu.
There is another point that Hou Baowu only thought of when he came to Avril. He hadn't thought about the Wolf Legion before, but when Avril asked Renata's father that day, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
Everyone knows that Renata's father, the real leader of the Wolf Legion, is dead, and the Wolf Legion has long since disappeared and no longer exists.
The question Hou Baowu considered was, even if Renata's father was really dead, where was the main force of the Wild Wolf Legion?
Others don't know, but Hou Baowu does. Although Renata once led the soldiers of the Wolf Legion to join the Han Tang Dynasty, and the number reached as many as 50,000, which is not a small number, but the real combat power of 50,000 is definitely not comparable to the Red Pink Legion.
The Red Pink Army is Ximen Yufeng's troops, and her troops were incorporated into the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it is understandable that she has strong combat power, and it is also very normal. As a unit on par with the Pink Legion, there's no reason why the Wolf Legion is too much worse than the Pink Legion.
The only possibility that can explain this doubt is that the main force of the Wild Wolf Legion did not join the Han Tang Dynasty, but has been hiding somewhere.
Hou Baowu's idea is very bold, but it is not unreasonable. Because in the history of wars in the Tianfeng Continent for more than ten years, it has never been recorded that the Wild Wolf Legion has independently fought a decisive battle. Although they participated in many battles, they fought in conjunction with other troops. In any case, it is unlikely that their main forces will be spurred by the destruction of their character.
Thinking of this, Hou Baowu couldn't help but recall the five field legions of Mandala back then.
Mandala used to be the most powerful empire in the Tianfeng Continent in terms of military power, although after more than thirty years of singing and dancing. The combat strength has dropped greatly, but the five major field legions are still not to be underestimated.
The situation of the Qingzhou Blizzard Legion is very clear, it was first reorganized into the Immortal Bird Legion by Hu Wei, and then renamed the Han and Tang Army, each of which is very clear, and there is nothing to doubt.
The Black Cross Legion in the east, fighting against Hu Wei's Immortal Bird Legion, was wiped out by Hu Wei and the Wolf Legion, and the legion leader was killed in battle. The army was de-organized, and there was nothing wrong with that.
The Red Pink Legion is Ximen Yufeng's troops, and after Ximen Yufeng married Hu Wei, it has been directly incorporated into the Immortal Bird Legion, and over the years, it has been completely included in the Immortal Bird Legion, which is nothing to doubt.
Originally, the Wolf Legion shouldn't have any suspicions, but now that I think about it, the main force of the Wolf Legion. It seems that they have never heard of being involved in a major war, where did they go?
"Not true. And the Royal Praetorian Guard?" Hou Baowu muttered to himself.
The Royal Praetorian Guard is the most powerful legion in the Mandala Empire, and its total strength is greater than that of the other four field armies combined. Back then, the white uniforms of the Praetorian Guard Corps were really powerful, even to the point that the common people would not dare to scold their mothers without giving money for meals.
Contrary to the Berserk Wolf Legion, the Royal Praetorian Guard of the Mandala Empire has participated in a lot of battles, and almost every major battle has their share, and in such high-intensity battles, the Praetorian Guard is getting weaker and weaker. It's normal to disappear eventually. But there is one thing that doesn't seem to be normal, and that's their field loss.
The battle losses of the Royal Praetorian Guard were very high, and the battle losses in each battle were almost the two generations of other troops, especially in the two battles against Anrong, the Praetorian Guards sent 200,000 troops at one time and 300,000 troops at one time. But those who were destined to return to the imperial capital were only 30,000.
In other words, 170,000 and 270,000 soldiers of the Praetorian Guard died in battle, respectively. If it weren't for the battle damage to An Rong that was too great, it would be almost impossible for the Immortal Bird Legion to have a chance to dominate the family in the future.
Losers are not worthy of sympathy. Back then, no one considered the battle damage of the Praetorian Guard, but put the halo on the undead bird legion of Hu Wei. But now that I think about it, did the Praetorian Guards really lose so much, and if the answer is no, then where have the soldiers of the Praetorian Guards who were reported dead but not died hiding for so many years?
The more Hou Baowu thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out, a mad wolf legion, a Praetorian Guard regiment known as the Royal Cavalry Regiment, their whereabouts are really a mystery.
Suddenly feeling that someone was pushing him, Hou Baowu raised his head blankly. Chunli saw that Hou Baowu finally had a reaction, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you thinking, so engrossed." I screamed a lot, but I didn't see you answer. β
"Oh, nothing. Hou Baowu shook his head. Chun-Li didn't understand military affairs, and there was no need for him to let Chun-Li know about this. Besides, these are all things that came to him suddenly, and it is still unclear what the truth is. And whether it's Hu Wei, Qin Ming or Red Leaves...... People smarter than him have gone to the sea, and they haven't suspected anything for so many years, so why should they doubt it, maybe they just think too much.
Hou Baowu didn't know at this time that he was not the only one who was thinking about this issue, and Hu Wei was also thinking about this issue.
Hu Wei has a gold badge on his hand, ordinary people don't know this thing, but Hu Wei does. The first time he saw this badge, he knew that it was unique to the Mandala Imperial Cavalry Regiment. It is a representative of the general as a superior officer, if Hu Wei was willing to transfer to the Royal Cavalry Regiment, he would also have such a badge, but he did not agree to transfer to the army at that time, and still stayed in the Blizzard Legion, so he did not have this badge, but now this badge is in his hand.
This badge is not his, he picked it up. There is something special about the place where they picked it up, it was in the village of Ropa that was burned by fire. When he found it at that time, he hid it easily, Luo Ba and Yang Xiaoxiao didn't know that Hu Wei had found such a thing.
A small badge is nothing, but why he appeared in such a small mountain village has to make Hu Wei think.
In the past ten years, Hu Wei has had endless military affairs. It made him overlook something he should have been thinking about. And now, he thought of these things again, but the age was somewhat old, and there was no clue as to what was going on.
"Daddy. Yaya shouted dissatisfied. She talked there for a long time, and when she wanted to ask Hu Wei's opinion, she found that he was there in a daze, and she couldn't help pouting.
"Oh, excuse me, where did you just go?" Hu Wei smiled apologetically. He felt like he was thinking too far ahead. would have suspected that the tragedy in their village was done by the Royal Cavalry Regiment. The names of the Royal Cavalry Regiment have not been mentioned for several years, how can this matter have anything to do with them?
But why did that badge appear there, could it be that in the village of Luoba, there were once people from the Royal Cavalry Regiment, and seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they returned to the village to live in seclusion, and then asked about the world?
It's possible, but it's not possible. Because of the officer-level figures of the Royal Cavalry Regiment. All of them are descendants of powerful families in the Mandala Empire, and there is no reason why they have anything to do with an unknown mountain village.
Suddenly, I felt that I was looking at myself angrily. Hu Wei raised her head and looked over, she was still looking at Yaya, at this time she was no longer pouting, but looking like she wanted to bite.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm distracted again. Hu Wei smiled embarrassedly. This military meeting was presided over by him, but he was distracted one after another. It's so shameless to give Yaya.
Yaya sighed and said, "Daddy, what do you think, I can't help but say it, let's discuss it together, maybe there will be a solution." β
"No, nothing, nothing to do. Unrelated. It's better to continue to discuss the retreat, I promise not to get distracted, and it won't be a while. β
Yaya glanced at Hu Wei deeply, she knew that Hu Wei must be thinking about something very important. But Hu Wei didn't want to say it, and he didn't have anything to do but continue the meeting.
The topic of this meeting was how to leave here and go back to Cloud City surrounded by Avril.
"Luo Ba, Yang Xiaoxiao, you come with me. β
As soon as the meeting dispersed, Hu Wei immediately found Luo Ba and Yang Xiaoxiao, they did not attend the meeting this time, but they stayed outside the meeting, and it was not difficult to find them.
"Young Marshal, do you have something to do with us?" Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask when he saw that Hu Wei had already taken them out of the barracks, but he still continued to walk forward.
"Let's go to the river. Hu Wei pointed to a small river outside the camp, where the current was fast and relatively open, and he was not afraid that someone would listen to their conversation.
Luo Ba didn't have any opinion on this, didn't ask a word, and followed Hu Wei to the river. Yang Xiaoxiao pondered Hu Wei's intentions by herself, but she didn't come up with anything, and she didn't think about it at all, anyway, what Hu Wei wanted to do would be known immediately.
"Sit down. Hu Wei was thinking in his heart how to ask questions, so as not to have a huge impact on the two children, after all, the people who died in the village were their relatives. Asking them about the village is tantamount to revealing their scars.
"Young Marshal, do you want to ask about the village?" Yang Xiaoxiao's brain was relatively active, and seeing that Hu Wei seemed to be a little embarrassed, he immediately thought of this possibility.
"Well, I want to ask you something about the village, but I'm afraid ......"
"Young marshal, you won't be afraid of hurting us. Luo Ba and I have already figured it out, people can't be resurrected after death, and the only thing we want to know now is who the murderer is!" Yang Xiaoxiao said with certainty.
"Me too. Luo Ba's eyes began to turn red again, and although he was very large, he felt rich, even delicate.
"Oh well. "Hu Wei's reaction to the two small ones is quite normal, and there shouldn't be any big problems when I think about it. Men, if you can't even face such a thing, it won't do much.
After pondering for a while, Hu Wei said: "I want you to recall, is there anyone in your village who was not in the village at the beginning, but came to the village later. β
Considering that the generals of the Royal Cavalry Regiment were all born into the powerful, Hu Wei thought that the owner of the badge was unlikely to be a native of the village.
Yang Xiaoxiao recalled for a while, then looked at Luo Ba again, and said, "I don't remember it, Luo Ba, what do you think?"
Luo Ba shook his head and said, "I know all the people in the village, I have seen them since I was a child, and no one is a person who has been out for many years and then comes back." β
Hu Wei was a little disappointed with this answer, but he had been prepared early in the morning, knowing that this matter would not be so easy to have an answer.
"Are you looking back at what happened in the village some time before the incident? β
Yang Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Hearing you say that, I thought of one thing. β
"Is there one?" said Robert, who didn't expect anything special.
"Why not, you forgot about jΓ¬. One day, when we were playing on the road, the third uncle once said to us that the mountains are not very peaceful, so let's not get too far from the village. β
"Yes, yes, there is such a thing. Later, when we went back to the village, you said that the atmosphere in the village was very wrong. Roba patted his head and said.
"Did the third uncle say why it wasn't peaceful?"
