Chapter 585 White Horse Ride
The deliberations of the Chengtian, Baotong, and Lianggongfang quickly came to an end.
Business is business, and it is absolutely different from unconditional giving.
In the past, when these merchants did business with the military and some powerful lords, there were naturally many special restrictions, but if we put aside all kinds of restrictions, and only need to consider the elite military strength of 1,500 people, the imagination of these businessmen and excellent craftsmen will be brought into full play.
Perfect, simply perfect.
Looking at the list that was finally gathered, Yuan Chengyun and Fu Linglong themselves felt admired, and they both felt that it seemed that they could fight a few beautiful battles if they had received such a set of sergeants with such armaments.
"We don't know when you want to join the party, General Lin, but the things listed in our list, except for the military horses that take a little longer, should be ready within a month and sent to Qitong County. ”
When Yuan Chengyun personally handed over this list to Lin Yi, he looked at Lin Yi's face, although he knew that Lin Yi was very young, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the hero was a teenager.
"You don't have to think about the horses, our food, our grass, and the medicine we need. ”
Lin Yi looked at the list in his hand seriously, and refused very categorically.
"Don't you even think about it?"
Yuan Chengyun and Fu Linglong were stunned, but then they saw a hint of a smile on the corner of Chen Baoyun's mouth beside Lin Yi, and the two of them suddenly came to their senses. "But we are stupid. ”
The Golden Crow Cavalry is recognized as the world's first cavalry, and even the cavalry of the powerful tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty who have been on horseback since childhood cannot be compared with it, in terms of cavalry, even for the choice of horses, as well as the trekking and fighting in various harsh environments, no one should be stronger and more experienced than the Golden Crow Cavalry.
Although the Golden Crow Cavalry heard that it also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Zhongli, the remaining Golden Crow Cavalry were all returned to Lin Yi's Tie Ce Army, so thinking about it, the five hundred cavalry of the Tie Ce Army in the future may be a new Jin Crow Cavalry.
Lin Yi and Chen Baoyun were still staring at the list of ordnance, and they didn't say anything for a while, Yuan Chengyun and Fu Linglong thought of this, but their hearts became more and more curious, they couldn't help but guess what kind of sergeants Lin Yi's new army would be composed of.
......
Six-two-seven.
This is the end of the Battle of Zhongli, except for some wounded and sick who could not move, and the number of this Tiece army that followed Lin Yi to the west.
Including Lin Yi himself, including the remaining people of the Sword Pavilion, including all the cultivators such as Qi Zhuji, Xiao Suxin, and Wei Guanxing, the total number of the Tiece army following Lin Yi at this time was six hundred and twenty-seven.
Among these people, there are the remaining Jin Crow Cavalry, the surviving defenders of Zhongli City at that time, such as Wang Chaozong, more than a dozen smuggler salt dealers, and the original Tiece Army.
Since Lin Yi was named the general of the eleventh class of Shenyong Zhenxi, the military strength of some Zhenwu troops along the way, including some reserve military strength, can actually be mobilized and supplemented and expanded into the Tiece Army.
However, since leaving Zhongli City, Lin Yi has not even recruited anyone.
Lin Yi and Chen Baoyun directly went to Chengtian and other firms, prepared a large number of ordnance, and Qi Zhuji went to Tongshan to supervise the serious criminals....Now Lin Yi's actions seem to be a bit reckless, and even if Chen Baoyun has that sentence to these firms, I am afraid that it will not be long before someone who is a little smarter will easily figure out Lin Yi's strategic intentions - elite soldiers and take the initiative to attack.
But before today, few people could understand what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Yi's gourd.
Now this Tiece army has not even applied for a unified military uniform, and it is completely like a miscellaneous army on the march.
This "miscellaneous army" was stationed in a field outside the city of Menglang at this time.
More than a dozen carriages were parked in an orderly manner, and the marching camp tents were also messy and random.
On the official road not far away, a local army of about 2,000 people happened to slowly move.
Ahead were about 800 light cavalry.
The horses ridden by these light cavalry soldiers were all snow-white, without even a single stray hair, and the color of the fur was very smooth, and the muscles of the horse's body were all high and bulging, which looked extremely strong.
The white feathers on the helmets of these light cavalry troops and the word "Chen" on the banners prove that they are the elite cavalry of the Dingzhou Army, the famous white horse horse.
Whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, the vast majority of cavalry troops do not wear any superfluous accessories, but some cavalry troops in the Dingzhou area have special traditions.
These white feathers are not meant to look heroic, but a symbol of honor.
Only cavalrymen who have experienced more than 1,000 people in battle, and have killed more than two enemies in the battle, are eligible to put such white feathers on their helmets.
These light cavalry marching on the official road, each of them has white feathers on their helmets, which means that in Dingzhou, this cavalry is definitely the elite of the elite.
In the distance, the cavalry had already noticed this "miscellaneous army" stationed in the field.
The generals of this army did not first send several horsemen to check and inquire, because looking at this "miscellaneous army" from a distance, the generals of this cavalry army already felt in their hearts that this might be the private army of a certain gate lord passing through here.
However, as they got closer and closer, and saw the golden armor on some of them, and saw some of the clothes of the Iron Army, the faces of these generals gradually stiffened.
The vague speculation in their hearts coincides more and more with a certain rumor.
Especially when they were only a few dozen feet away from this "miscellaneous army", when they could see the looks and emotions on the faces of these people, these generals and the sergeants behind them all had some strange feelings in their hearts, and even an indescribable chill was generated in their hearts.
The eyes of these people are obviously very peaceful and kind.
However, when they met these people's eyes, they inexplicably felt that these people had a completely different temperament from them.
A young general led by this cavalry army had a solemn face, and he slowly raised his hand.
The army behind him came to a halt.
Then he dismounted, left the official road, and walked towards the field where this "miscellaneous army" was.
He was Chen Zhi, the best young general of the Dingzhou Army, and he had not lost a single battle in his previous command.
In normal times, he is an extremely confident and proud general.
However, at this time, he looked at these people without the slightest pride in his heart.
There was also a constant coolness in his heart.
Looking at these peaceful but inexplicably terrifying "miscellaneous troops", the corners of his mouth even rippled with an imperceptible wry smile.
Could it be that this is the temperament that can only be possessed by a sergeant who survives and can achieve victory in the face of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?
"Dingzhou, white horse riding Chen Zhi, who are you?"
Looking at a general who looked a few years older than him, he bowed seriously and asked.
"Tie Ce Army, Shenwei General's Department, Dynasty Sect. ”
Wang Chaozong also bowed to him seriously.
The injuries he suffered in Zhongli City were very serious, although after Huang Qiutang's medicine, and then the Chen family's elixir, but at this time, he had not fully recovered, and his movements when he saluted were a little difficult, and his face was a little too pale.
Chen Zhi could feel his injuries.
Listening to his name, Chen Zhi's heart instantly swelled with great respect.
After Zhongli's victory, many details in the entire war process were ignored or intentionally forgotten, but these details are very clear to the military itself, and they will definitely be recorded in many storybooks in the future.
Wang Chaozong was the one who received the least reward among all the surviving generals in Zhongli City after Zhongli's victory.
Because he rebelled, and even killed the Shangfeng generals and hung them on the north wall, although this kind of thing, although based on his heroic fearlessness, based on his desire to defend Zhongli City, but for the military, it is still a matter of ignoring military orders, absolutely undesirable, and absolutely not vigorously declared.
In addition to blood and bravery, the army is more concerned with military discipline and absolute obedience.
It's just that the military considers the overall situation, and every general under it naturally has their own judgment on such a thing.
"It's an honor... It's a real pleasure to meet you. ”
Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then bowed softly in an extremely serious voice, "General Lin, are you not here?"
In the previous march, this Tiece army had also encountered local troops several times, so Wang Chaozong could understand Chen Zhi's mood at this time, he smiled a little apologetically, and said, "General Lin, they entered the city to do business, I'm afraid they won't come back soon." ”
"We were ordered to dispatch and not stop here, it seems that it is a mistake, and we have no chance to see General Lin. ”
Chen Zhi felt a deep sense of disappointment in his heart, he took a deep breath, thought about it, and then said seriously: "Is there anything I can help with?"
Wang Chaozong groaned slightly, but before he could answer, a girl who looked very quiet came out from behind the camp not far behind him, saluted Chen Zhi, and said softly: "There should be, if he has something to transport in the future, I'm afraid he will have to bother the general." ”
