Chapter 198 New Year's Eve of War
The soldiers of the Sui army far on the prairie in the northwest are about to spend the first Spring Festival in their lives, which is not spent in their homeland. Tomorrow is the thirtieth year. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else will find friends who are familiar with each other to chat together. The difference between the Han people in the Central Plains and the Yuan people in the East Chu and Mongolia is not only a difference in appearance but also a difference in personality. The Chinese love their home, and the words of their parents not far away have spread to this day.
Dongchu people are accustomed to traveling north and south, and they regard traveling businessmen as life. In their conception, home is just a word. The Mengyuan people lived by grass, and they were used to driving cattle and sheep to live a nomadic life. Even if they can't get out of the tribe's fiefdoms, the grasslands of at least a few thousand miles are enough for them to go back and forth.
The soldiers got together to discuss the topic, which was inseparable from what the people in their hometown were doing at this time. Someone licked their lips and said they really wanted to eat a dumpling. This sentence resonated with many people. Jiangnan soldiers don't yet have a particularly strong feeling for pasta, but northern soldiers' love of dumplings has exceeded the scope of food. In their opinion, dumplings represent more than just eating.
People in the camp with a radius of more than twenty miles came and went. In order to make the soldiers feel a little old-fashioned, the generals even managed to find some red cloths and carefully decorated them in the military camp. I don't know where the quartermaster turned out some big red lanterns and hung them outside the large tents of the Chinese army, looking at the extra kind.
The soldiers kept talking until the time was about to start dinner, and then they were surprised to find that everyone could get half a catty of cooked meat for today's dinner. For the army who did not have any cattle, sheep, horses or horses on the expedition, everyone could get half a catty of cooked meat. It is worth cheering. You must know that the pork was shipped from Kannai. For the supply of 700,000 troops, the manpower and material resources consumed by this meal is an astronomical figure.
General Li Yuanshan inspected his camp in the dark. As the most northwestern general of the garrison, he played a pivotal role in this war. And ... The biggest advantage of You Xiaowei compared with other guards is that Li Yuanshan, as a general, has spared no effort to build a 2,000-strong heavy armored cavalry.
You Xiaowei's heavy ride is the first heavy ride since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Equipped with armored warrior swords and swords, they will not invade the feathers and arrows. When they charge, they will easily crush the enemy into a powder like a heavy tank. This heavy ride of 2,000 people, each cavalry enjoys treatment incomparable to other soldiers. Each of them had two obediences that belonged to them only. In addition to a tall and majestic war horse, there was also a mule carrying personal belongings. After all, they can't wear at least forty pounds of heavy armor all day long, and their horse stables are much larger and heavier than ordinary soldiers.
The fine step battalion is the standard configuration of each guard, which is nothing outstanding.
However, because Right Xiaowei is the most northwestern garrison in the army, the number of soldiers is also greater than the number of soldiers in the empire's hinterland. According to Da Sui's military system, there are 36,000 soldiers per guard and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the total number of people in other military positions is less than 50,000. Right Xiaowei has the emperor's special purpose. It can recruit 12 thousand more soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. In total, one right Xiaowei has almost one-third more troops than other guards.
As far as Da Sui is concerned, the only army team that can be compared with the right Xiaowei and is larger is the left front garrison in the southwest. So some people in the North Koreans have compared, for example, Li Yuanshan in the northwest and Luo Yao in the southwest, two Optimus Primes in the western empire.
Li Yuanshan was ordered to be the vanguard of the Western Expedition, and his army was always at the forefront. But after several successive fights, the loss of Right Xiaowei was not too big. The soldiers and horses recruited by the emperor from various parts of the empire are also under the control of several generals. On the battlefield, these soldiers and horses transferred from various places are the true pioneers. No big general will be stupid enough to try his best. Relatives.
Including the 5,000 men and horses led by Li Xiaozong in the first battle, although they were under the banner of Right Xiaowei, the soldiers of Right Xiaowei actually counted as a camp.
"General, the first battle after the New Year is still up to us ... it's a bit unfair, let's work hard in the front, and some of them will pick up the ready-made cheap ones in the back!"
Yin Poshan, one of the seven tiger generals under Li Yuanshan, said a little dissatisfied.
Li Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty takes the right Xiaowei as the vanguard, and we naturally rush to the front, don't just look at the losses. If this war is won, the vanguard will get far more than others. Did you forget Luo Yao? In the war of empire destruction, Luo Yao's left forward always rushed to the front. When more than 40,000 men and horses conquered Yongzhou, there were less than 15,000 left, which is indeed a heavy loss. But now What about the Emperor and His Majesty both felt that they owed Luo Yao a lot of indulgence? How many people and horses does Luo Yao know now? "
"Our right Xiaowei fought this battle, and the loss of death and injury will not be small, but the glory of the people who survive will also be small, even greater than Luo Yao's left forward!"
Li Yuanshan said indifferently: "I keep telling you that your vision should be longer. Even if you can't see ten years later, you should also try to see three years later and five years later. The longer you look, the The future is bigger. "
"Subordinates understand."
Yin Poshan headed down.
Li Yuanshan shook his head: "You don't understand. I don't understand your temperament. It's not much easier for you to think about these things than for you to have a child. Of the seven of you, the most stable temperament is Xu Xiao. Now, Li Xiaozong and Xu Xiao are almost the same. That's why I gave the vanguard of the vanguard to him, not you. "
"The general is ridiculous, and his subordinates are sinners ..."
Li Xiaozong, who followed him, said abruptly.
"What are you guilty of?"
Li Yuanshan smiled: "The first battle was done in accordance with my intentions. If you are guilty, wouldn't I be guilty?"
"but……"
He paused and said, "The first battle after the year is going to be more beautiful. Wang Ye Fei Pigeon passes the book to let us act realistically. Let ’s play a few victories first to please His Majesty, rejoice first, then disappoint. Your Majesty's anger will be even greater. So you have to remember that in the next battle, you can fight as you like. If you lose again, I will pick you guys to eat first. "
"Oh!"
Several generals echoed.
Li Xiaozong hesitated for a while and whispered, "General, please allocate another 5,000 subordinates, this time the subordinates will definitely play beautiful."
"you are tired"
Li Yuanshan waved his hand: "The battle below will let Xu Xiao fight. You have to rest a few more days."
Li Xiaozong's face changed suddenly, and there was a flash of resentment in his eyes. This hate is as strong as the night. Although fleeting, it was exceptionally clear. Li Xiaozong promised to hide his expression of dissatisfaction by bowing his head, but there was a fire burning in his heart.
...
...
A dozen people in black night clothes stepped on the moonlight shattered by clouds and walked down like a wild animal in the grass. Instead of covering their faces with black cloth, they even wrapped their heads tightly, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. These dozens of people are like fish swimming in the sea. The wide and vast grassland is their home, so even if the night is getting darker and thicker, their speed has not slowed down by a minute.
The headed man in black stopped suddenly during the run, and then made a gesture. A dozen men in black fell to the ground immediately, lying motionless in the grass. Not long after, more than twenty war horses passed by not far from where they were hiding, and the black armor of the knight on horseback declared their identity.
It's Da Sui's ride.
This place is less than three miles away from the Sui Army's camp, and the number of Sui Army's patrols has become increasingly dense. The dozen or so black men moved forward cautiously along the way. After avoiding this team of riders, their speed decreased a lot.
The headed man climbed a high and lay down in the grass watching the brightly lit Sui Jun camp. In such a deep night, the lights of twenty miles seemed like a shining lake wave. The undulating camp is the waves of this great lake.
"The banner owner said that Sui people's New Year's Eve is as important as our fasting season, and sure enough ... you see ..."
The headed man in black pointed to the Suijun camp and said: "Although the defense still looks tight, the torches moving in the camp are patrolling soldiers, which seems to be a lot less than before."
The man in black next to him sneered lowly: "Master Qianfu, the Sui people, and the nation known as the most war-savvy nation, you see, there are red lanterns hanging outside the large tents of the Chinese Army. This is an idiot to the extreme. It's like telling us that those tents are where the Sui Jun's coach lives. "
The leading captain is called Agudamu, a powerful warrior under Nirvana Mandu Wolf. Although he is young, he is so deep and cold-hearted that he does not blink.
"This is a difficult habit."
Agu Damu whispered: "Admiral General once infiltrated Fan Gucheng as a herdsman and knows the habits of the Sui people. On New Year's Eve, the Han people will hang a red lantern in front of their house. Eat one Grow food called dumplings and firecrackers. It's like we are carnival for Ramadan. On New Year's Eve, the Sui people are almost unguarded. Their soldiers also go to drink and eat meat, even if they are in prison. The criminals here will also get wine and cooked meat. Especially during the New Year's Eve, they have the lowest alertness. "
"This time, even if we couldn't win, we were caught off guard by Sui and never ran."
Another humane in black.
Agudam shook his head and said, "It can't be careless. Even if the Sui people have many habits that are difficult to change, you see real soldiers in front of them, and they are too many."
"A thousand sheep can't stop the attack of a wolf."
A man in black laughed: "Wait, we will let those Sui taste the machete tomorrow."
Agudam muted, pointed to the front and whispered, "Press one hundred steps forward and see if you can no longer see clearly. Spread apart, everyone chooses a good place to hide, when you have When the hourglass fell, we immediately returned here to assemble. Before dawn, we had to rush back to report to the master and general of Shaoqi. "
"Huha"
The man in black responded in a low voice, then chose a direction and dispersed.
Agudamu remained on the high slope, staying on the high ~ EbookFREE.me ~ On another high less than 150 steps away, there were several people lying on the grass lying with grass covered with grass. people. They have camouflages on the hats and clothes on their heads. Even in this night, they cannot easily find their existence.
One of them put down his clairvoyant and lowered his voice and asked a petite man beside him: "Master Qianhu, would you like to take one back and torture?"
The person known as Qianhu shook his head slightly, and habitually picked up a hairy grass and licked it in his mouth: "Let them see as much as possible, and tell the riders to catch a few before leaving. If it is so easy to let them go, Instead, they will be a little skeptical. Let's just stare at anyone close to the big camp, and the arrest of people on the battlefield will not be under the control of the inner guard. "
Listening to her turned out to be a woman.
"喏"
The interrogator responded with a sigh and raised a thousand miles to look at the opposite high slope.
The female Qianhu, who was lying on the grass, looked up at the moon blocked by the cloud, and wriggled her lips to chew the fur grass. The grass is yellow, so there is no bitter taste.
She remembered the young man who was far away from Chang'an City, and she felt sweet. That guy knew how to use weed camouflage at a very young age, wear different colors of clothes in different environments, apply some ugly colors on his face, and even stay in a place for a day without moving. It won't move when it's scattered in the pants. He said it was a means of survival. She looked down on him at the time, and then slowly realized that these means were really good.
They changed into hay-yellow clothes, and they would not be noticed even if they hid in the grass during the day. Relying on this color of camouflage, the staff of the Inner Guards Station repeatedly approached the Mandu Banner camp.
What is he doing now?
She was thinking.
There is no shadow of him in the moon, but she looks so absorbed.
