Chapter 150: Chariot Battalion
Liu Yu beat the horse and came to the young lady, stopped the horse, and said, "The king asked me to send a message to the lord, Yelu Na Xionglan and his party have passed the Juyong Pass, and they can go to Jicheng tomorrow." The king asked the lord to get ready, there is no need to go to the court tomorrow, and tomorrow morning he will go to the chariot camp outside the north city gate, and greet Yelu Nalan Xiong and his party with the general. ”
The young lady said, "My lord, please come with me to the house to talk." Then he turned back.
Liu Yu said: "I still have to inform Xiangguo Ji Ping and Ji Biao that I won't go to the house today." ”
The young lady arched her hand and said, "Lord Lao has come to report, I already know, please slow down." ”
Liu Yu arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of Xiangguofu.
The young lady watched Liu Yu go to the horse and turned back to the mansion.
The young lady returned to the cave, sat on the jade bed and thought for a while, came to the jade table, picked up the Fuxi Bagua Heart Sutra, and read it.
The next day, the young lady dressed neatly and rode to the chariot camp outside the north gate.
Standing at the south gate of the chariot camp, the young lady looked at it: the blue brick wall of the chariot battalion, covering an area of three square kilometers, was neatly arranged with chariots, and the east side of the chariot camp was a row of horse sheds and warehouses, and many horses in the chariot camp were missing, and the west was barracks, and the north and south sides were open.
was watching, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and the young lady turned the horse sideways and looked back, it was Ji He who arrived.
When Ji He came to his side and stopped the horse, the young lady bowed to Ji He on the horse and asked, "How shall we go to meet the Grand Chief of Yelu and his party?"
Ji He said: "Yesterday, I sent someone to come and arranged a chariot of honor, and we took the chariot to Wuliu Pavilion, ten miles away, to greet him. ”
The young lady had not yet ridden in a chariot, and said, "This still needs to be taught by adults, and the subordinate officer does not know much about military affairs." ”
Ji He said: "It's okay, you can just follow me." "The heart says that leading soldiers is different from fighting alone.
The two rode into the south gate, and Ji He said: "This chariot battalion has 800 chariots, 260 armor soldiers, and 100 slaves. ”
The young lady asked, "I don't know where Liang Jiangjun is deployed?" The young lady and Liang Jin were overly strong, and they were most impressed by this person, so they asked.
Ji He said: "The Liangjiang army is deployed in the third camp post, if the adults go to the East Wilderness Gang, they can meet it." ”
The young lady asked, "I don't know where the three northern passes are?" ”
Ji He saw several soldiers walking towards them and said, "Wait a minute, now let's go and choose a chariot first." ”
While talking, the two met with several soldiers, and one of the soldiers bowed his hand and said, "The chariot battalion dispatcher has seen two adults. ”
Ji He took out half of the tiger talisman, raised it to Che Da, and asked, "How are the honor guard chariots, armor chariots and transport chariots that you arranged yesterday?"
Che Dadao: "General Huiyu: All the equipment has been completed, and seven armor soldiers have been selected, and they can set off at any time." ”
Ji He said: "Now you go to the car and wait for departure at the north gate." ”
The big chariot agreed and took a few soldiers to pick up horses and set up carts.
After a few soldiers went, Ji He led the young lady to walk the horse towards the north gate, and said as he walked: "The three northern passes are Juyong Pass, Crouching Tiger Pass, and Huangya Pass, which are garrisoned by three national captains. ”
The young lady said: "The dispatcher just now was prescient, and named Che Da, which is really appropriate in this chariot battalion." ”
Ji He said: "That Che Daben is a slave militia, without a name, because of his bravery in battle, he saved the national captain Ji Yong, so he was given the current name, given an identity, and transferred here to manage the chariot battalion." ”
The young lady said, "I see. I thought: "No wonder there is a deep scar on the big surface of the car, and it seems that the injuries on the body are also indispensable." ”
The young lady was riding on a horse, and saw that several soldiers were pushing out the three chariots, and said to Ji He: "The lower official has never been in a chariot yet, go and see it." With that, he turned his horse's head and ran to a chariot that was being launched.
Ji He turned the horse's head and followed the young lady with him.
This is the chariot of five soldiers, one is an archer, one is a man, one is a charioteer, and two are pawns. The five of them pushed out the chariot of the armor and were about to push the cart to the north gate to set up their horses, when the young lady and Ji came over.
The young lady observed the chariot: a horizontal log about five feet long in front, through a curved log, was connected to a carriage about five feet wide and more than two feet deep, and there was a door behind the carriage, and on both sides of the carriage were two large wooden wheels about three feet three inches in diameter.
The young lady turned to Ji He, who was beside her, and asked, "What kind of chariot is this, and how can I use it?"
Ji He said: "This is a chariot of armor, each car is three people, one person is in the chariot, two people are fighting, each chariot is also equipped with thirty soldiers, six cavalry, but there are people on the car, there is a soldier on the top." ”
At this time, three GIs carried the chariot with their backhands, and the two GIs pushed the cart behind and began to move towards the north gate.
The young lady hit the horse and came to a chariot that was pushing towards the north gate, and this time Ji He took the initiative to say: "This is a transport chariot, which can carry three people and several weapons. ”
The young lady observed the transport chariot: it was similar in structure to the armor chariot, but it was much wider, nearly six feet long, and more than two feet deep, and there were a bunch of equipment flags in the carriage. Four of the ten GIs were in front, and six were pushing the cart towards the north gate.
The young lady continued to walk her horse forward to the chariot at the front. The chariot was about the same width as the armor chariot, more than three feet deep, many parts were replaced by bronze components, and a wooden dome was attached to the carriage. The five GIs were also three in front and two in the back, pushing the cart towards the north gate.
The young lady turned to Ji He and asked, "This should be the chariot of honor, right? I don't know what it is for?" I thought to myself that this chariot looked gorgeous, as if it had no practical purpose except for display.
Ji He said: "This car can be used as an honor guard chariot in peacetime, and it can be used as a communication relay in wartime to transport personnel and materials." ”
The young lady said, "Please tell me more about it." "When I said that I was in Donghuanggang, maybe I would have to deal with these things, so I took this opportunity to quickly understand the military system.
Ji He said: "The combat vehicles of each country are basically the same, but the troops equipped are slightly different. Our country is responsible for defending the frontier, has close contacts with the border and has sufficient horses, so each chariot is equipped with sixty-six soldiers and six cavalry. ”
The young lady asked, "I wonder how many chariots there are in our country?" Why did you just say that each chariot is equipped with thirty soldiers?"
Ji He looked at the young lady and thought, "I said that I fainted." With a smug look on his face, he said: "There are four chariot battalions in our country, and the chariots are 2,300 times. The 30 pawns and six cavalry I mentioned earlier are small army formations, which are used in small battlefields, and if there is a big battle, the large army establishment must be implemented, which is the 66 soldiers and six cavalry configurations just mentioned. ”
The young lady said: "I see, I don't want to have knowledge here." After speaking, he continued to ask: "I wonder which country still deploys chariots like my country?"
Miss wants to develop outside the border, I don't know what the future holds, here I have to learn some common sense of soldiers.
