Chapter 051: Promotion in the Line of Fire (I)
Hu Wei stayed overnight in Luyou's Tibetan Gold Building that night, which was the most comfortable night in so many days, and the day of the rush was not comfortable...... c Early the next morning, Hu Wei replenished the dry food and water, took the arrows newly created by Lu You, left the imperial capital, and continued to go north to Qingzhou.
Hu Wei has not had time to pay attention to Lu You for the time being. Lu You is a chess piece he has arranged for the future, and it is quite crucial to use it, but now, Hu Wei can't use it. Because Hu Wei has not yet reached that height, exposing Lu You too early will not do him any good.
Hu Wei's primary goal now is to rush back to Qingzhou to seize the opportunity that belongs to him. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and if they are missed, there will be nothing at all. Hu Wei knew that he was already a step too late, and he had to work hard again, and he didn't allow himself to miss this opportunity.
After leaving the imperial capital and passing the Acropolis pond, Hu Wei's road became difficult to walk. The road was full of people fleeing from the disaster. dragged the family with the mouth, and almost blocked the road.
Because the imperial capital has been under martial law, the imperial capital, including the Six David Cities, is very strict, and the victims of the disaster cannot enter the city. As a result, the victims who did not reach the shore at both ends could only gather outside the city in large numbers, forming a wave of refugees.
The living, the dead, slept on both sides of the road, and the heralds used the whip to clear the way. They were a team of 100 people, and they rushed forward with whips in turn, and those who dodged slowly were whipped a few times, which was not bad. If you are unlucky, you will directly step on the horse and die. After the hundred-man team passed guò, there was not even a piece of whole meat left.
But even then, they weren't fast enough. Some of the victims even deliberately jumped out of their guò and died under their horses. For them, who can't see hope, this may be a good relief.
For these, what can Hu Wei do except shake his head and sigh. The people are the foundation of the country, and who regards them as the foundation of the country now? In the eyes of the officials, they are nothing more than grass that can be trampled on at will.
After Hu worried, he no longer took the official road after Pusha Town. With some food, he inquired about a mountain road from an old mountain man. The trail is difficult to walk, but it is quieter. Those cries that ring in the ears all the time are a kind of torture for people's nerves. But the most important thing is that some people see him alone and want to rob him of his Malay food. It's a big trouble for him. Anyway, there are horses that can't go fast, so Hu Wei simply gave the horses to a group of fleeing women, and instructed them to find a secluded place to kill the horses.
Let's hope they survive.
After trekking through mountains and rivers, it took Hu Wei two months to return to the headquarters of the Qingzhou Yangcheng Blizzard Legion. Two months away from the crowd in the mountains and wilderness, Hu Wei has made great strides in both physical fitness and perseverance. What made Hu Wei happiest was that he finally had a tacit understanding with the Sun Changing Bow.
The danger in the mountains and forests is everywhere and unpredictable, and the long-range lethality of the Sun Changing Bow is the best means to save Hu Wei's life. For two months, he barely left his hand from the bow, and the bow did not leave the person. As soon as there is any wind and grass, even if he is asleep, Hu Wei can bend his bow and arrow at the first time, and walk through the yang in a hundred steps.
The streets of Yangcheng are much deserted than before. The smiles on people's faces are not easy to see. Hu Wei found a place, briefly freshened up, and immediately rushed to the military aircraft building.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Hu Wei was nearly a kilometer away from the military aircraft building when he was stopped by the defenders.
"Don't get me wrong, brethren, I'm here to see the Legion Commander. Facing the sharp arrow pointed at him, Hu Wei raised his hands, indicating that he had no malice at all. Now it's different from the past, everyone's nerves are very nervous, Hu Wei doesn't want to rush back by his hard work, he is here to make an arrow target.
"Stand still. A pawn soldier jumped out from behind the bunker, cautiously came to Hu Wei's approach, about five or six meters away, and said with a knife in his hand:
"Which part are you?"
"Report to Lord Dianjun, I am Hu Wei, the leader of the 1st Squad of the 2nd Division, 2nd Division, 2nd Wing, 3rd Column, 2nd Division, and 1st Squad. ”
"New 1st Regiment?"
Dian Jun looked Hu Wei up and down, and suddenly shouted: "You are a spy!"
"Lord Dianjun, I'm not a spy, I'm really from the new 1st regiment. My Lord Link's men. Hu Wei stood up straight.
Dian Jun asked, "General Link?"
"Yes. Link is a partial general. I was still with him during the disaster. ”
"General Link's troops should be in Mengzhou now, how could you be here. ”
"I was assigned by the commander of the Sumen Dahl Army to study at the Tende Columbia Military Academy, and when I heard that there was a change in the country, I rushed back day and night. I just arrived in Yangcheng today. ”
Dian Jun listened to Hu Wei's reasonableness, and finally relaxed his guard, but his hand still did not leave the handle of the knife.
"Your military badge. ”
"Yes, yes. Hu Wei slowly pulled off his clothes with both hands, revealing the military badge hanging around his neck. Everyone in the Blizzard Legion who is ordered to go out will have such a military badge on their body. It's proof of identity.
"Untie it down and give it to me. The soldier said with a safe gesture backwards.
"Yes. Lord Dianjun. Hu Wei took off the military card and handed it to the pawn army.
Dian Jun took it, and after carefully identifying it, he returned it to Hu Wei.
"Are you an immortal bird?" said Dian Jun's expression softened.
Hu Wei smiled: "This is all joking and screaming nonsense by the brothers, it can't be taken seriously." ”
"This is no joke, people who don't have the ability are not qualified to get nicknames. I've heard about you. On the first day of enlistment, he was promoted to captain, hehe, our Mandala Empire is your only one. Dian Jun also had a smile on his face.
"I'm not the only one, didn't Captain Qin Ming also be promoted to husband on the first day. ”
"Qin Ming, hmph, that Blood Shura, the guy who doesn't take the life of a soldier, I get angry when I mention him. A distant cousin of mine worked under him, went to the Linmei Forest, and never returned.
Others don't know, but I know it very well. He ascended solely because of you. But this person has a good brain, he can drill, there is no way, and it is useless to be angry. He's been promoted to me now, and he's a lieutenant now. ”
Hu Wei was shocked when he heard this: "Qin Ming has already been promoted to captain?"
"No, it just rose a few days ago. Forget it, let's not talk about that. You wait here, I'll go and report to you. ”
Hu Wei saluted and said, "Thank you, Lord Dianjun." ”
"Come on, come on, don't be so polite. With your ability, maybe in a few days, it will be time for me to salute you. ”
The army arranged Hu Wei in an ear room and walked to the military aircraft building. He belongs to the perimeter guards, and he can only go outside the door, and he can't get in.
Sumentar had just finished a meeting and was reclining in his chair, his eyes closed. The busyness of the past few days has made this old general, who is almost sixty, full of exhaustion written on his face.
The storm set off by the Red Turban Army this time was so great that even Sumendal, who had always been a visionary, did not anticipate it. The crusade of troops is being transferred more and more, but the Red Turban Army is getting stronger and stronger, and Sumadar's life is not easy.
What makes Sumatar the most angry is that the local garrison troops, who usually ask for money, food and territory, are as fierce as anything. There was a real war, but it was completely useless. Langtian claimed to have 50,000 garrison troops, but when the real fight started, there were not even 20,000 horses. On a wave day, they dared to eat the empty salaries of nearly 30,000 people. Now that Langtian is lost, that Langtian City guard Huang Chuqiu actually came to beat a rake and buckle the basin on the body of the Blizzard Legion.
In fact, Sumatra's most dissatisfied was Mandala III Valencia, but he didn't dare to speak out about this dissatisfaction. Huang Chuqiu and his family, before Langtian actually started the war, had already abandoned the city and ran away. Valencia not only turned a blind eye to this, but desperately let Sumendal put down the chaos.
Sumatra has already transferred 110,000 troops to Yanzhou, and now there are only 90,000 horses left in his hands. After the rebellion of the Red Turban Army broke out in the empire, An Rong did not stop for a day. Doing things twice in three days is just trying to provoke disputes. Once they find out that the Blizzard Legion is nothing more than an empty shell, they will definitely pounce on it.
Sometimes, when he was in a hurry, Sumental really wanted to ask the Emperor of Valencia if he had to use the soldiers of the Blizzard Army to destroy the Red Turban Army, and what were the other four major legions doing. In particular, the Royal Cavalry Regiment has a full 500,000 troops, and so far it has not moved a single soldier. Are they all good-looking?
Thinking of this, Sumental felt his heart hurt again. This old problem has been getting more and more dense recently, and Sumatar really doesn't know how long he can last.
"Alas, the empire has been troubled since then. Sumental let out a long breath and muttered as he looked out the window at the dead vines and old trees.
"Report!"
"Come in. ”
"Report to the commander of the corps, Hu Wei asks to see. Kochis, the head of the guard, knelt down on one knee in front of the table.
"Hu You?" Sumentar didn't remember who Hu Wei was for a moment.
"The Legion Commander is the squad leader you sent to the Columbia Military Academy. Kochishi reminded. The chief of the guard was a close confidant of Sumatar and knew a lot about it. He also dealt with Hu Wei's matter at that time, and he naturally remembered it.
"Well, I remember, the kid who got the nickname of the immortal. Has he already graduated?"
"Probably not yet. Kochishi knew that Sumental was interested in Hu Wei, so as soon as he received the news of Hu Wei's return, he immediately reported it. He only hurriedly said a few words to Hu You, and he didn't talk deeply, and he didn't know much about Hu You's sudden return.
Sumental thought for a moment and said, "Let him in." ”
"Yes. ”
Hu Wei followed the chief guard into the room, and without raising his head, he saluted first: "New 1st Regiment, 2nd Division, 2nd Wing, 3rd Column, 2nd Detachment, 1st Squad Captain Hu Wei, see Commander of the Legion." ”
Hu Wei didn't know at this time that because of the war, the two new corps had already been broken up and mixed into other corps. The numbers of the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment have long been removed.
"Get up. ”
"Captain Xie. Hu Wei stood straight in front of Sumandar. The two were five or six meters apart, and they could see each other clearly.
"Hu Wei, you don't take your class in the military academy, what are you doing when you come back?"
Hu Wei had long known that Sumendal would definitely have this question, so in his heart, he already had a draft.
"Back to the commander of the army, the last general received news in the military academy that I heard that there was a rebellion in the empire, and the soldiers of our Blizzard Legion fought bloody battles every day to quell the chaos for the country.
As a member of the Blizzard Legion, how can the last general attend classes with peace of mind at this time. I also thought that the battlefield was the real military school, and that only on the battlefield could soldiers learn the ability to kill the enemy, so I rushed back.
The last general knew that he had violated the will of the commander of the legion and asked the commander to punish him. I only hope to save a small life and calm the chaos for the country. ”
