Chapter 188 North
On the Yanqian border line, a fighting had just ended. Some of the soldiers were bandaging their wounds, while others were arranging their arrows.
War can turn people with rich individual emotions into pieces of machine parts without emotions. The scene here is the best interpretation of this.
No one was sad, no one shed tears, no one played the flute or guzheng, and no one saw how the setting sun matched the current scene.
There are many poets in the Qian Kingdom, and many frontier fortress poets have emerged, but no one knows how those frontier fortress poets from the Qian Kingdom "touched the scenery" to write such majestic and powerful works during the nearly hundred years of peace between Yan and Qian. The poetry of the magnificent battlefield.
Zheng Fan had studied the poems of many famous people in the Qian Kingdom. Because of the environmental and political situation in the Yan Kingdom, he focused on the frontier poems to see which one was better than the ones in his mind compared with the poems of this era. In the future, It can't be said that it is useful.
It turns out that when Gan Ren’s poems and articles describe wars and border crossings, they give people the same feeling as those superior traditional writers of later generations who directly piled up “simple”, “simple” and “unsophisticated” when writing about the countryside. The rhetoric of "honest" is average.
People who don’t know the truth will think “that’s it”, while people who have truly experienced the baptism of war environment will sneer at it.
There was no wailing, no calling, even the seriously injured person just hummed slightly in his throat. The wolf, even if it was licking its wounds, had its own way.
This is already the sixth encounter in this period of time.
The Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army combined a total of 250,000 cavalry to go south and attack the hinterland of Qian Kingdom. However, to the surprise of many officers on the front line of Nanwang City, the armies from the three sides of Qian Kingdom did not come back for reinforcements. They remained stable. Stay within the defense line you have built.
They even took the initiative to send troops and horses northward, and their eagerness to try was very clear.
In the beginning, it was just a test, that is, the scale of one or two thousand, but slowly, this test turned into a preparation for the war, and the number of troops heading north began to exceed tens of thousands.
There are a lot of cavalry on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom. When Zheng Fan led the Cuiliubao cavalry south to harvest military achievements, he encountered the interception of the cavalry on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom. In addition, the three sides of the Xishan Camp of the Western Army More than ten thousand cavalry were dispatched, and the number of cavalry on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom has reached an extremely impressive scale.
Previously, what just broke out here was an encounter involving tens of thousands of people. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the end, it ended with the Gan people retreating, and the Yan people were unable to take advantage of the situation to pursue them. Once they came, their own side also They need to seize the time to recuperate. Secondly, no one knows whether there are ambushes from Ganren's other armies in the opposite direction of Ganren's retreat.
The two generals were sitting together. One leg had been slashed with a knife, and the bone was visible. Even if it was cured, it would be difficult to ride a horse again, and even walking would have to use crutches.
Another general soldier was hit by an arrow in front of and behind him. Because he was protected by armor, although the arrow penetrated his body, it was not a serious injury. However, he still had to grit his teeth when taking out the arrow. Live with the pain.
In fact, for the two of them, their own injuries were not the most painful. What made them most distressed was the fallen soldiers on the surrounding battlefield who could never stand up.
The military system of the Yan army was very rough. Just as civil servants looked at whether they had enough soldiers, generals looked at whether their soldiers and horses were strong or not.
Similar to the desert barbarians, Emperor Yan may be the royal court, and the generals and their tribes who command the troops below are the tribes in the desert.
Although there are differences in performance, the biggest thing on the minds of these warlord leaders is actually to preserve their strength, just like when Zheng Shou was at Cuiliu Fort.
“Old Liang, if we continue to fight like this, we will lose all our family resources.”
“Who says it’s not the case? After decades of hard work, After finally accumulating these belongings, we originally thought that we could snowball a few more rounds while His Majesty headed south. Who would have thought that we would have to fight such a stupid war here on our own. "
" Fatty Xu claims to be from the north, so he thinks he knows military skills. Yes, the Zhenbei Army can fight, but what does this have to do with Fatty Xu? I really can't stand it if the war continues like this. These brothers have been following me for so many years, so they can't all be here. They have to leave some seeds."
"Haha, what's the use of talking about this now? The gangsters are coming more and more fiercely every time. Next time, the little family foundation we have left won't even be enough to fill up.
Although Our subordinates are not as good as the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, but they are all good at riding and shooting. Definitely no worse than Gan Ren’s cavalry, but he was forced to confront Gan Ren!
Prodigal, straight bitch, what a damn prodigal!”
The two chief soldiers are here! While they were cursing,
a group of people came out of the woods behind them, and the leader was a mountain of meat.
Fortunately, there was a brave beast riding under the meat mountain. An ordinary war horse would really not be able to bear this weight.
Even so, when Pi beast ran up to him, he was already panting and looking like he was overdrawn.
Xu Wenzu rolled down and behind him were three general soldiers.
Because of the cold weather, the smell of blood on the battlefield was not very strong. The blood on the ground was either solidified or frozen.
But the sight of corpses strewn across the field still tells the story of the cruelty of the previous war.
When Xu Wenzu came over, the two commanders in chief acted as if they had not seen him.
Xu Wenzu was not angry either. Seeing that the two generals were injured, he immediately squatted down in front of Liang Guohong with concern, looked at Liang Guohong's legs, and said with great distress:
"This... ...This...this...why are you so careless?"
This emotional catharsis is a little too forceful and too rich.
Liang Guohong said a little stiffly:
"Master Xu was joking. The sword on the battlefield has no eyes. When it's time to add some red, it has to add some red. You can't hide even if you want to. Besides, no matter what, at least I still have one life. Than Thinking of those men who were already lying on the ground and could never get up again, someone I am really lucky."
Xu Wenzu retorted: "Although I have never personally led troops to charge, I also know that it is easy to get a thousand troops but it is hard to find a general. The newly recruited soldiers from Nanwang City. There are already quite a few good family members, and there must be senior ones. The veteran will take him with him. You go down to recuperate first and train the new soldiers."
"What, you want me to leave my troops and go to Nanwang City?"
"You still want to go to Nanwang City? Can you lead troops to fight? Besides, those good people also need someone to lead them. Bring."
"Oh, what's the use of recruits? Even though martial arts in my country are popular, and almost everyone in Dayan can ride a horse, if you really want to pull it out and you can become an army, so can you and me. Know that this is impossible.
Master Xu, I don’t want any good family, I just want my soldiers, the soldiers I brought all the way from Huwei County! "
Guo Tongsi, who was treating an arrow wound next to him, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Liang Guohong, indicating that in front of the soldiers, what would it be like if the generals like him started fighting among themselves?
Xu Wenzu smiled and said: "I know, I know. "
Guo Tongsi said: "Master Xu, this battle really can't be fought like this. All of our general soldiers combined, only these men and horses, although they are not as good as the elite of the Zhenbei and Jingnan Second Army. But looking at the four countries, they can be regarded as first-class cavalry. It is really a loss to fight head-on with the Qianguo people like this! ”
With such fierce fighting and charging, although the Yan people won several consecutive battles and the Gan people were defeated, their own losses were also huge, and the mobility advantage of the cavalry was not used at all. Come out.
Liang Guohong also answered:
"Master Xu, even if you want to take action, don't be so eager."
As soon as these words came out,
not only The expressions of Guo Tongsi and the other three general soldiers around him also changed.
Liang Guohong’s words are really too heartbreaking,
This is almost pointing at Xu Wenzu's nose and saying, even if you want to reduce our strength so that you can secure the top spot in Yinlang County, you shouldn't be so hasty, it will be too ugly.
Xu Wenzu didn’t mean to be angry at all, but continued to smile and said:
“But you must not say that. I, Xu Wenzu, have always been a good person and I believe everyone can see it. , everyone is calculating and calculating behind closed doors. I, Xu Wenzu, can calculate better than you. I get fat and get hungry quickly, so naturally I eat more;
But what we are facing now is dryness. Man, this brother is at home After fighting, we still have to stand together to resist external humiliation. I, Xu Wenzu, still understand this.
Originally, you are the most capable team under my command. I also know that he is from Cuiliu Castle. Wasn't that army sent south by Marquis Jingnan, but I still have a family with several thousand riders. In this way, I won't keep any of them, and will directly hand them over to the two brothers in a group. .”
What Xu Wenzu said surprised Liang Guohong, and he subconsciously asked:
"Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true!"
Xu Wenzu seemed to be I was too tired from squatting, so I simply sat down on the frozen soil, pulling on my collar and continuing:
"You have also seen that I am so fat that it is difficult for the brave beast to carry me, let alone lead the troops to charge. Although I have not seen battles before, they were all in Beifeng County. I have never really managed such big scenes as encircling and suppressing horse bandits or fighting against small barbarian tribes, so I have to rely on you.
You can divide the troops and horses under my command, and any good family members who will join the army in the future can be sent to you first.
I will not ask for the soldiers and horses I sent out again. I have said these words in front of you today. You are not worried that I will go back on my word in the future, right? "
Liang Guohong looked a little confused and asked:
" Mr. Xu, why are you doing this? ”
We are all military chiefs, and after finally getting to our current position, we naturally understand the importance of the troops under our command. Xu Wenzu directly gave away his family’s fortune. This kind of behavior is really disappointing. It's a bit hard to understand.
"Hey, it's time, don't tell me apart from mine. In the eyes of Ganren, we are all Yan people."
Xu Wenzu got up from the ground with some difficulty and pointed to the east.
Tao:
“To tell you the truth, a war has begun in the east of the Jin Kingdom. It is said that the incoming force is not small. The two major clans of the Jin Kingdom, the Helian family and the Wenren family, both have full family backgrounds. How many details are there? The soldiers and horses don’t know, but the east side can There are 50,000 Jingnan Army rear camp plus 100,000 imperial troops and county soldiers for defense, but the fight is still very difficult.
It is impossible for the court to send another soldier to support us. , the two princes have also led their troops to go south. , although I don’t know why, there seems to be no movement of reinforcements from the three sides, but if they really want to go north, between Yanjing where Your Majesty is and them, except us, who else can we count on to stop them? < br>
Brothers, I also know that you feel sorry for these young soldiers under your command, and my heart aches too. Straight mother-in-law, don’t forget who gave you the food, the armor, and the horses. If I use these things to harm the public and enrich myself, then I will What’s so hard about gaining weight twice?
But we can't retreat now, we can't retreat a step, and we can't avoid its edge. Gan Ren is testing, and Gan Ren is also afraid. It's true that they didn't come back, but they don't dare to really do it. Those who went north in large numbers were afraid that the two marquises would come back to kill them.
We don’t know when the two princes will come to kill us, but we have to do our own thing well. What do we Qiu Bahans believe in?
It’s just the swords, guns, arrows and horses in our hands. If we risk our lives to fight for it, we won’t lose anything.
If we give in, if we retreat, if we think about it in the long term, it will be like giving reassurance to the Qian people. If we can't do it, we will really dare to send a large army to the Northern Expedition to try.
So, right now, we will eat as many people as we can. Even if we fight to lose both sides, even if we spend all our money, we can’t retreat. Everything depends on one breath, and we have to keep carrying this breath. , must also be carried! "
Xu Wenzu faced the north, in the direction of Yanjing,
said:
" To be honest, it is not so much that we are protecting His Majesty this time. Say we are protecting Dayan.
Our ancestors sacrificed their lives and fought hard, so that our country, Yan, could be at peace for a hundred years. In the past hundred years, it is not that there have been no wars, but no enemy troops have ever really penetrated deeply into our country, Yan. In this territory, I, Dayan, have never lost an inch of territory!
If we can't hold on, we will die and go to the ground in the future, but we will really have no shame to see our ancestors.
Everyone, this is what I, Xu Wenzu, mean. We have laughed at Ganren for a hundred years. We have always laughed at Ganren for not having the talent, and at them for not having Luanzi.
Now, it’s time to see the real chapter. It's time, let's show these gangsters what it means to be a real big man! ”
There was no applause or agreement.
Everyone’s expressions seemed rather indifferent.
They are all soldiers who have been trained in the military camp, and they are not young and energetic recruits who can make people scream with just a few words.
What they value is not what you say, but what you are going to do.
At this time,
Liang Guohong looked up at the clouds in the sky, opened and closed his mouth, and said slowly:
"My leg is useless. I originally wanted to With this little family fortune, I can leave it to my son. Yes, but my family knows their own business. My son can be a captain in the field. When he is not fighting, he can be a general soldier to earn money and water. It is not a big problem. In this regard, he will follow me. , hahaha;
But now I really want to lead thousands of brothers under my command to fight against the Qianguo people. This kid can't do it.
That's it, you guys can all divide up the remaining men under my command. Now I can't ride a horse either. I just happened to go to Nanwang City to train the good men who were recruited. It's so short. I don't have time to train them into elites. I just need to instill a little more murderous intent. "
Xu Wenzu smiled beside him, his fat face full of relief.
Liang Guohong turned to look at Xu Wenzu and said:
"Master Xu, there is a saying, I have been saying this for a long time. ”
"You say, I listen."
"The way you smile is really disgusting."
Xu Wenzu smiled even brighter,
At the same time Responded:
“Actually, when I first came here and saw that your leg was disabled, I was quite happy.”
