Sky Lake is not a lake, it is the name of a pass...... Tianhu Pass is located in the northernmost part of the Mandala Empire, and one kilometer further north is the border between the Mandala Empire and the Anrong Kingdom.

After Hu Wei received the general's order, he immediately set off and rushed to Tianhu Pass. There were three hundred men waiting for him. In the eyes of others, three hundred people may be nothing more than a very small unit, insignificant, and dispensable. But in Hu Wei's eyes, these 300 people are his spark, the hope that can illuminate his future, and the affirmation of his countless efforts over the past year or so.

Tianhu had 3,000 troops, led by the governor Deschamps, and three partial generals, namely Bokamp, Bierhoff and Morientes. Before Hu Wei arrived, Deschamps was in a meeting.

It was Bokamp who spoke at this point.

"Lord Governor, An Rong's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and we have to strengthen our vigilance. ”

Morientes also said, "Hmm. The momentum of the Red Turban Army is getting bigger and bigger, and our border passes are too passive. ”

"Fight, fight, afraid or something. I'm afraid they won't come. If they dare to come, I will cut one and kill one, and I will kill two pairs. Bierhoff said in a gruff voice. This member of Lu Jiang has never liked to speak very much.

Deschamps shouted: "Then if you come 10,000, come 100,000, can you kill it, it's really nonsense." The use of soldiers is a matter of life and death, and it is not a child's play. ”

As soon as Deschamps drank like this, Bierhoff lost his temper. Deschamps is his old superior, even if he dares to argue with Sumatra, he will not dare to be presumptuous in front of Deschamps.

"The current situation is not optimistic, I have received news that our legion may have to send people to Langtian in the near future, and when the time comes, our pressure will be even greater. ”

Hearing this, Bokamp changed color and said, "Your Excellency, how can this be done?" The manpower at the border is already very tight, and if we draw people again, how can we guard it here. ”

Deschamps shook his head: "This is also something that can't be helped. The Legionnaire Commander also has a headache right now. But that's what it means, and he can't do it. ”

Because of the tense war in Langtian, the defenders in many places at the border were withdrawn. Tianhe Pass is very important because of its geographical location, and it is still good in comparison, and it is still full until now. But in this way, the pressure on Deschamps was also very great, because according to wartime preparations, it should be stationed here as a mixed independent regiment, not the current division of 3,000 people.

The mixed independent regiment is a special formation, in fact, it is a miniature version of the regiment. There is no clear personnel regulation for the establishment of a mixed independent regiment, which is determined by the battle situation, about 5,000 to 10,000 people, and the commander is a general, and there are two or three subordinate generals. In other words, the combat strength of Tianhu Pass now, whether from the command level to the number of soldiers, cannot meet the standards of wartime. This is very dangerous.

Bierhoff exclaimed: "I don't understand why the Household Cavalry Regiment has not been mobilized until now. They had a full 500,000 men. Could it be that they all have to stay in the imperial capital to have children? ”

This time, Deschamps did not stop Bierhoff, and he also did not understand why the Royal Cavalry Regiment did not march into Langtian, but imposed martial law in the imperial capital, which is too puzzling.

Deschamps and they have been stationed at the border for a long time, the transportation is inconvenient, the level is not enough, where can they know about the imperial capital. Sumendal's previous conjecture was correct. The Royal Cavalry Regiment was stationed in the imperial capital, and for thirty-eight years without war, it had already become an ideal gilded place.

The child of a powerful family, he became a senior officer in the Royal Cavalry Regiment. Children born from wealthy families who have no power are petty officials there. Even if they are small soldiers, they are all children born in the imperial capital circle, and they have been quite wealthy since they were children. The soldiers composed of such a group are usually arrogant and domineering, bullying the common people, and they are quite set, and they really let them go to the battlefield, and one by one they have not seen the enemy army, and their legs and stomachs have begun to turn tendons.

The children of each family know each other, the officials and wealthy families in the imperial capital, who have no children in the Royal Cavalry Regiment, how can they watch their children and nephews go to the battlefield to die. Other people's children can be sacrificed, and their children, that is absolutely fine. That's a son, and losing a hair will hurt heart.

Because of this, the matter of Langtian had just broken out, and the ministers made a proposal to Valencia that in order to ensure the safety of the imperial capital, martial law should be implemented in the imperial capital. Their purpose was simple, to keep the Household Cavalry Regiment out of battle. As long as they keep the imperial capital, they will be fine. For the rest of the place, let them go. In addition to the Royal Cavalry Regiment, weren't there four major legions and local garrisons? In this way, the Royal Cavalry Regiment did not move with the original.

The meeting was depressing and dreary, and to put it mildly, it was all such a thing. It is impossible to increase troops, and it is impossible to increase food, and the only thing that is useful now is to pray to God not to let An Rong go to war, that's all.

"Newspaper. The voice of the herald outside the tent made the four people sitting hear something different.

Deschamps asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the Governor, the commander of the regiment has sent a new lieutenant down, and now he is outside the camp. ”

"Oh. Deschamps was shocked and asked, "How many men and horses did he bring?"

A captain of 300 people is a little less, but it is also a combat force. Now that the people are tight, they can get points.

"Ugh. The herald hesitated slightly, and then replied: "Your Excellency, this captain is here alone. I don't see any other people. ”

"Grandma's! Let him in. ”

When Hu Wei came in, he thought he was in the wrong place. The four big men under the tent all looked at him like a dead father.

Did you say that you had sold them counterfeit medicines?

"Your name is Hu Wei?" Deschamps only spoke after reading the handwritten letter from Sumadar that Hu Wei handed in.

"Lord Huidu, the last will be worrying. ”

"Well, I heard that you came back from the Columbia Military Academy. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Deschamps obviously didn't want to talk to Hu Weishen about anything, and waved his hand: "Bokamp, you don't have a lieutenant under you, so put him under your account." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Alright, that's it for today's meeting. Let's go back and get busy. ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Bowamp brought Hu Wei back to his army. Bokamp was the captain of the Horse Infantry Wing, and he had cavalry and infantry under him, so it was only natural that Hu Wei should be assigned to him.

"Sit down. ”

"Your Excellency. Hu Wei is still unaware of Bokamp's temper and does not dare to be presumptuous.

"You don't need to be so reserved, I like to be casual. If I'm not mistaken, we must have met for the second time. ”

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to meet the general once, but I didn't expect the general to remember the little one. ”

In Nabapo, Hu Wei and Bokamp met eyes once. At that time, Bokamp led the cavalry to gallop down Link, which was really majestic.

Bokamp shook his head and said, "No, not that time. ”

At Nabapo, Hu Wei was just a small soldier, and Bokamp and Ben would not pay attention to him.

"It was in Yangcheng, when you and Link returned to camp after a natural disaster. Yes, that was the time when I heard Kocu say that you saved his life. ”

Hu Wei replied: "I don't remember seeing the general in Yangcheng. ”

"You really haven't seen me, I've seen you from afar. Okay, whether we've seen it before or not, we'll have a common meeting in the future. ”

"Your Excellency is right. ”

"Since you're here for my troops, you'll have to do a good job. I don't care what happened to you before, but with me, you have to listen to me. ”

"The last will obey."

Bowamp thought for a moment and said, "Hmm. The order of the commander of the legion named you 300 men, and I will give you 300 men. You'll go to the third column. I'll go back and tell you, and someone will naturally take you to receive it. ”

Without Sumendal's specific order, Bokamp and Ben would not have given Hu Wei 300 men. Even if Hu Wei is a school captain, Bokamp will not give Hu Wei a full make-up. A newcomer like Hu Wei who has never been on the battlefield can give him fifty people. Hu Wei himself understands this. Being a captain has fewer subordinates than being a captain, and he is not without experience.

"Alright, we're done talking, let's talk about some personal matters. How is Mrs. Xiang now?"

"Mrs. Xiang?"
