Chapter 683: The Last Trumpet (4)
The bleak wind blew through the military flag of the Shenwu Army, and there were several soldiers of the Shenwu Army with resolute faces standing under the rattling military flag, and a group of soldiers on the huge school field in the distance were constantly waving the weapons in their hands under the command of the officers, and tens of thousands of war horses in the distance were galloping, and the knights above were also constantly waving the weapons in their hands to practice. The barracks are full of vigilant soldiers, every soldier is looking coldly into the distance, the big handsome flag flutters in the air, and the red gold characters are embroidered with a Korean character, this is the main force of the Shenwu Army, the largest corps of the Shenwu Army led by Han Xin, and it is also the strongest corps.
"Report, Dashuai, the latest battle report of the imperial capital. A scout rushed into the camp and gave the information in his hand to Han Xin, who was discussing the military situation with his soldiers. One of Han Xin's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and the general reported it and gave it to Han Xin. At the same time, several scouts sent the latest information, and several military reports were presented in front of Han Xin at the same time. Han Xin's face did not change at all, in the days when the army was stationed here, this kind of military report was no longer strange,
"Where is the vanguard army?" Han Xin finished reading the information in his hand, stared at the sand table in front of him carefully, and asked loudly to the generals around him, the battle situation in the imperial capital did not exceed Han Xin's expectations. Han Xin's troops were stationed on the border of Sizhou, and they met the combat troops from all over the place on both sides, especially the Wang Jian Corps that fought in the north, and the troops that echoed with Li Jing's Corps to contain the Eight Great Emperor Shang. Han Xin's army was close to all the troops except for a small number of baggage troops in the rear, and Han Xin also sent 50,000 forward troops in the direction of the imperial capital to find suitable fighters.
"Commander, the vanguard army is marching at a fast pace. We bypassed the Tiger Prison line. At present, it has been driven here, and there are still three days away from Wang Qian's department. Military advisor Sun Bin pointed to a spot on the sand table and said to Han Xin. Han Xin nodded, the advance of the vanguard army was already very fast, but Han Xin was not very satisfied. The tens of millions of troops in front of him pressed on Han Xin's heart, but Han Xin also had a heavy pressure.
Han Xin looked at the sand table with a solemn face, thinking about something around the sand table, and dozens of generals stood coldly beside him. Han Xin suddenly walked to the left side of the sand table, drew the saber at his waist, and slammed the bell on the enemy's camp on the sand table. The huge sand table was instantly cut off by Han Xin's sword. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the scene in front of them, what did Han Xin mean by this, was he finally planning to make a move? All the generals looked at Han Xin excitedly, they had been stationed here for a while, and they couldn't wait for a bloody battle with the enemy.
Han Xin glanced at the generals in the tent, and all the generals looked at Han Xin excitedly. Han Xin nodded heavily, walked to the handsome chair, stood and said loudly to the generals under his command: "Everyone, we have been stationed here for a long time. What is the morale of the soldiers under his command now? Can they fight?"
"Marshal, now the morale of our army is high, and the officers and men are all shouting for battle. As long as the commander gives an order, the general is willing to be the vanguard and cut off the head of the enemy commander. Fan Hao said loudly to Han Xin. walked out and said to Han Xin, the other generals also left one after another to ask for war, Han Xin's subordinates are all militants, these days the garrison here has made this group of people completely anxious, every day is to ask Han Xin for battle, but Han Xin pressed down. Now that Han Xin has cut down the camp on the enemy's sand table with a single sword, the generals immediately understood what Han Xin meant.
Han Xin nodded heavily, full of confidence in the soldiers under his command, and his combat effectiveness and morale can be guaranteed. Now what worries Han Xin the most is whether he can conquer the enemy's camp in one fell swoop, the enemy's combat effectiveness is also very strong, and Han Xin wants to fight this battle but does not want to lose too much, otherwise the main force of the Shenwu Army under his command will completely lose the opportunity to compete for power. Han Xin's more troops the better, but the opponent's strength in this battle was also a headache for Han Xin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Great War in the Imperial Capital is still going on, our army has been stationed here for some time, and the Lord is waiting for our reinforcements in the Imperial Capital every day. Han Xin said loudly to the generals under his command: "Now the main force of our army in the north is divided into two parts, one part is fighting against the Xiliang army, and we will be the main force in this operation." If we win this battle, the Shenwu army will survive, and if we lose, the Shenwu army will die. ”
"Now the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, and the generals are even more than 10,000 subordinates, and our soldiers and generals want to win the victory of this combat effectiveness, and all departments must be prepared for a bloody battle, and we can only win this battle, not lose. Han Xin said loudly to the generals under his command, and each of the generals under his command looked at Han Xin with flickering eyes, and his blazing eyes were as if dozens of hungry and thirsty strong men had seen a Ren Jun picking.
"I order the whole army to shrink at once, and all the officers and men to prepare for battle from now on. Han Xin shouted loudly to the generals under his command, everyone's spirits were lifted, the big war they were waiting for finally came, everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, everyone looked at Han Xin with a strong eagerness, this battle is destined to be a war that leaves a strong mark in the history books, and the direction of this empire will be completely determined by the outcome of this war.
"Dashuai, why do you suddenly want to fight?" Just when all the generals were excited, Sun Bin suddenly asked on the side. Sun Bin and Han Xin both have the same idea, it is not suitable for large-scale battles with the enemy at present, first, they are less than each other in terms of troops and the number of generals. It is not an exaggeration to say that the enemy has tens of millions of troops and tens of thousands of generals, and what worries everyone even more is that their enemy still has a steady stream of support troops.
"I don't want to, but the war in the imperial capital has become more and more dangerous, the battle report just sent said that the imperial capital's forces have begun to shrink their forces, and the main force is defending around the palace, and the Yue Fei division of the Yongzhou army has been blocked by the enemy in the north of the imperial capital, and the scouts have also found that the enemy has moved abnormally recently, if my guess is correct, they want to shrink their forces to attack the imperial capital. Han Xin said to Sun Bin with a solemn face, the battle reports of the emperor have been delivered to the hands of the various corps commanders as quickly as possible, especially the generals like Han Xin and Wang Jian who are stationed outside with the corps, and the information they receive is the latest battle report. After receiving the military report, Han Xin did not have a bad estimate of the current situation. But it's definitely not optimistic.
The generals' brows were furrowed. The war in Dijing has always been their biggest heart disease, Han Xin did not want to fight with the other party too early, and the other wanted to use the army to deter Dijing and Dong Zhuo, but he never expected that the enemy's troops would be abundant to such an extent. The generals never imagined that the enemy would oppress Han Xin's army with a large army, and on the other hand, he would continue to draw troops to press the imperial capital.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, we will be fully armed and rewarded. Tomorrow we will launch a zuihou battle against the enemy, whether the Shenwu army lives or dies is tied to us, I have only one word for you, so I can do it myself. Han Xin's zuihou words made every general present change their faces very much, Han Xin also knew that what he said at this time was superfluous, a good self-action contained too much content, and a good self-action made all the generals' faces change very ugly.
In the empty and uninhabited field, two sentinels of the Shenwu Army frantically whipped their sitted war horses and headed towards their destination. The hooves of the horses were beating on the pipes, and the two sentries were prostrate on the horses, and the continuous rush had exhausted the strength of these sentry agents. pipes in the grass. Several pairs of eyes stared closely at the two sentinels of the Shenwu Army on the official road, and their eyes released a greedy gaze of predation.
"Go tell Big Brother. Two cavalrymen entered our territory, and the armor and equipment on each other's bodies looked like soldiers of the Shenwu Army. A man in a turban said to a skinny man beside him, who bent over and disappeared into the grass around him. The man with the turban immediately led several of his men into the distance. Secretly signaled to several subordinates who were ambushed in the distance, and several of his subordinates nodded.
"Law and Law" although the fatigue is abnormal, but the two sentry detectives are unusually alert, the front of the horse rope pulled up, the two sentry immediately stopped the horse sitting down, the two sentry spies glanced at each other, immediately turned the horse's head towards the preparation to escape, and the man who was ambushed around was also surprised, too late to praise the riding skills of the two sentry agents, they surrounded from all directions, and immediately surrounded the sentinel of the Shenwu Army in the center.
With a bang, the two sentries pulled out their sabers at their waists, controlled the restless horses, and coldly pointed at the enemies who came up around them with the stings in their hands. The two sentry scouts shook their horses, the two glanced at each other, and one of the sentry spies yelled at the enemies around him: "Who are you? Why are you blocking the sentry of my Shenwu Army!"
This place is not far from the territory of the Shenwu Army, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army naturally do not need to hide their identities, and loudly reprimand the enemies who come up around them. The surrounding enemies saw the faces of the two Shenwu Army sentries change slightly as soon as they revealed their identities, but they quickly returned to normal. This is not the territory of the Shenwu Army, even if it is the territory of the Shenwu Army, with the military law of the Shenwu Army, they are a dead word.
"Don't talk nonsense, your Shenwu Army is now in a difficult position to protect itself, where can you be in the mood to care about us people, stop talking nonsense, immediately hand over your war horses and weapons and leave. The man in the lead looked at the two soldiers of the Shenwu Army coldly, and his heart was also heavy when he heard the name of the Shenwu Army, but in the end he still mustered up the courage to shout loudly to the two sentinels of the Shenwu Army. They have already stopped the Shenwu Army from burning the sentry cavalry, and the Shenwu Bureau is the closest garrison from here, and it will take a day for them to escape with enough time, after saying that this place is inaccessible, even if they kill these two Shenwu Army sentinels, the Shenwu Army may not find their heads.
Boom, the two sentinels of the Shenwu Army glanced at each other first, and were just about to break through, when suddenly there was a violent shaking sound on the ground. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from far and near, and a large number of cavalry were coming from afar, and the faces of the dozens of men surrounding the Shenwu Army suddenly changed, this large group of cavalry was definitely not their people, there were no cavalry in their shili at all, what kind of people were these cavalry.
"What are you doing here! Don't run yet, the cavalry with square horns in Youzhou is coming!" The two sentry detectives heard the sound of the horses' hooves, and their faces suddenly changed, and they scolded even more after they identified the direction in which the cavalry was coming. Dozens of men all changed their faces when they heard the square corner troops, and the name of the square horn troops was too famous.
The troops of the square horn are famous not because their army is very combat-ready, nor because of the special composition of their army, nor because of the beliefs of their army or the banner of their army. but because of their ferocity. Square Horn took control of Youzhou. But he was suppressed by Liu Fan, and he couldn't get out of Youzhou at all. And although the land of Youzhou is rich, there are too many troops in Fangjiao, not to mention that the limited few small ports in Youzhou are still blocked by Liu Fan's not very powerful navy, and it is impossible to support more than five million troops in rich places, not to mention that there are more and more troops under his command.
The land of Youzhou is now about to become a hell on earth, except for those who believe in and join the Fangjiao army are slightly better, those families who do not believe in the Sun and Moon God Cult have accidents, and the food is collected lightly, and those who do not have food to hand in are even caught by the Sun and Moon God Sect members to work as coolies in the army. Women were used as military prostitutes, and the elderly and those who could not take care of themselves were secretly disposed of as military rations. Youzhou is desolate, it can be said that Youzhou is now thousands of miles uninhabited, the land is barren, and there is no source of income, so it naturally aims at the territory outside Youzhou.
But Fang Jiao met no one well, he met the Shenwu Army, and several times he sent troops to attack the strategy, he was beaten by the Shenwu Army all around, and his nose and face were swollen, and he didn't have any ability to expand at all. Of course, Liu Fan's Shenwu army did not have the ability to attack Fang Jiao for the time being, although Fang Jiao's army was composed of a group of believers. But the liliang of religion must not be underestimated. Liu Fan is deeply aware of the horror of religious liliang, so Liu Fan has never thought of moving these armies composed of fanatical religious elements. But Liu Fan didn't move the square corners. It doesn't mean that Fang Jiao doesn't fight the idea of the Shenwu Army, he was suppressed too much by the Shenwu Army, so he could only fight a little and sneak around to fight the autumn wind, making the people in the four realms of Youzhou miserable.
Fang Jiao came out to fight the autumn wind, but the surrounding people suffered serious suffering, these people who surrounded the Shenwu Army also fled from Youzhou, they finally escaped from Youzhou, and they were forced to have no way to hit the idea of the Shenwu Army. As soon as everyone heard the arrival of the cavalry with square horns, the people around them immediately scattered in a hurry and fled wildly in all directions. The cavalry of the square horns made a deep impression on them, they were not a group of cavalry at all, but a group of demons, a group of demons through and through.
"Damn, you find a way to inform General Ao Bai of the Linshan battalion, and say that the hungry wolf in the north has begun to march. The two sentries looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and looked at the scattered people who fled in all directions, and their faces suddenly changed, and it was obviously impossible for them to send a letter to Ao Bai by themselves, and at this time they could only pin all their hopes on these people. The two sentries shook their horses, and fled in another direction in a circle, while the man wearing the turban stopped and looked at the two retreating Shenwu Army sentinels, and the expression on his face moved.
"General Ao Bai of the Linshan Battalion, fortunately we didn't kill these two cavalrymen of the Shenwu Army. The man in the turban gasped when he heard the name. Although they have just come here with the name of Aobai, they have all heard of the name of Aobai, not to mention how this person is, even his brutality is no less than that of the troops of the square horns, and even more so.
"Second brother, are we really going to the camp of Aobai?" A small man walked to the side of the man wearing a turban, his voice trembled a little, the name of Aobai is absolutely just hard enough, and Aobai can be said to be the king of this territory on this territory, one side is protection, and the other side is also a demon. Even Liu Fan, who threw Aobai here, didn't expect Aobai to be able to achieve such an achievement, if Liu Fan had known that things would develop like this, he would have thrown Aobai to a more haode place.
The man wearing the turban looked coldly at the two sentinels who disappeared, gritted his teeth and said, "Go, people have paid for our lives to cover us, and we won't go." ”
The camp of Linshan and the banners revealed a strong murderous aura in the barracks, the neighing of the war horses, and the sentries standing tall looked around coldly. This is the military camp of Ao Bai, who was equivalent to Liu Fan, when Ao Bai was still a young and vigorous young man, Liu Fan asked him if he dared to go out by himself, and Ao Bai left with a money rat braid. Ao Bai is not a stupid person, he can see that Liu Fan doesn't like his dress, but Ao Bai is a dead head, and he just refuses to cut off his tail, so he walked out of the camp with dozens of horses and came to this remote place.
Ao Bai is indeed capable, relying on his dozens of cavalry to play his own piece of the world in this place where birds don't and chickens don't lay eggs, and now Ao Bai is no longer the young man he was back then, and after coming here for a few years, Ao Bai finally understood what Liu Fan meant, which is simply to use it as the most important big future, throw him to the border area and let him develop freely, what does this mean, this is clearly to tell Ao Bai that I want you to solve the trouble of Fang Jiao for me.
Of course, the meaning of Ao Bai is not what Liu Fan means, Liu Fan just doesn't like these generals with tails in the Qing Dynasty very much, just look at the generals who were sent here, Hong Chengchou, Yue Zhongqi, Yue Le, are all generals of the Qing Dynasty, and now the Linshan camp is also full of talents, there are not many soldiers, but the generals are extremely brave.
