Chapter 37: Replenishing the Battle Robe

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun said: The Beiping Administration Secretary was changed to Zhending, and the Minister of Justice Bao Zhao was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Justice.

Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, was appointed as the General of the Conquest, and gathered 300,000 troops.

He issued a letter to the prefectures and counties in Henan, Shandong and Shanxi to provide military salaries.

On the vast wilderness on the north bank of the Yellow River, people and horses slowly moved to the north like ants, and the rising dust lingers on the road like smoke.

Geng Bingwen actually only had 130,000 troops, but he was also a large marching formation.

The road was full of people, but there was no congestion.

The unicycle, the vanguard, the big carts driving mules and donkeys, as well as infantry and various artillery vehicles, walked in the middle, and the cavalry passed quickly from both sides, and the torrents of varying speed were in a staggered manner.

Southern infantry wearing wide-eaved iron-beamed heads lined up, with long spears and muskets being the most common weapons, and soldiers carried on their shoulders like thorny jungle.

Geng Bingwen, who had very white hair, rushed up the mound on the roadside, raised his palm to cover the dazzling sunshine, and looked around the team far and near for a long time.

He looked for a while, turned his head and saw that the gang general Sheng Yong was standing beside him. He stroked his white beard with his hands, raised his head and smiled: I thought I would never have the chance to wear a battle robe again in this life. Today I rode the horse on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, it was like going home!

Sheng Yong said: The veteran general has been in war for a lifetime, and the battlefield is where you are familiar with.

Geng Bingwen was full of energy and pointed to the north with a horse whip, saying, "The speed of the march must be accelerated!"The court had just changed the provincial government to Zhending, and the grain from all over the country was transported there. If Zhending was occupied by Yàn in advance, the army would have no support.

……

King Yàn: The prince supervises all matters in Peking, and the prince of Gaoyang County is in charge of the left guarding the horse army.The generals gathered their troops and set out to deter the sun.

As soon as dawn came, Zhu Gaoxu got up and washed and had dinner, and then put on armor with the help of Wang Gui, Cao Fu and Aunt Wang.

Wear a set of soft lock armor inside, and then a heavy armor made of thick iron sheets on the outside... In fact, there is a layer of leather suit inside the chain armor, with three layers of armor on the whole body weighing fifty kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary people to walk on this one, and Zhu Gaoxu feels good.

Zhu Gaoxu then put on a red cloak, took the iron helmet decorated with red tassels from Wang Gui, and put it on his head.He looked at himself blurred in the bronze mirror and suddenly felt a little strange.

Last month, I followed King Yàn's army out for a walk, but I almost had no chance to go into battle.But this time it was really good. The 300,000-strong army of the imperial court could not be so easy anymore.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little nervous because it was the first time he was on the battlefield!

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh: No matter whether he wanted it or not, it would be difficult to take off this iron sheet in his life. Near and far wars cannot be escaped, unless he surrenders and gives up!

Zhu Gaoxu let out a sigh, gritted his teeth and looked shaking, and reached out to take a few weapons one by one and put them on his body.

There are two weapons, one-handed long sword and the other short sword hanging around the waist.

There are also weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, and horse sabres, so you don’t have to carry them yourself now.

As for the heavy sword given by King Yàn, Zhu Gaoxu could only worship it at home because it was not very practical.

The sword can be used with his strength, but it is not a one-on-one fight on the battlefield. It is important to save physical strength. It is not a lot of benefits to holding such a heavy weapon except for the equipment.

Zhu Gaoxu has been practicing all kinds of weapons since he was a child and can use almost anything, but this time he went into battle, he chose the most ordinary spear with weapons.

The Chinese tribes started fighting with stones. After thousands of years, there were peace in a few years, and the number of wars was unclear... Until the Ming Dynasty, Taizu immediately won the world, governed the army and selected soldiers, and melee combat soldiers were particularly concerned about the skills of using spears. Whether the spears were used well is a must-evaluate.

This is not unreasonable.

Soon Zhu Gaoxu was wearing hard and sharp arms and armed his teeth.He stood for a while, then turned around and walked out the door, and the few people around him followed him out.

Walking out of the hall, dozens of people were standing in the yard. Professor Hou Hai was wearing green robe and black gauze, Baihu Weida and Wang Bin were all wearing armor, and there were dozens of fully armed soldiers behind him.

In addition to the people outside the gatehouse, there were more than 250 people in total.

These people were originally military households, but the most common thing they did was to carry all kinds of ceremonial guards, and their role was to decorate Zhu Gaoxu's appearance.

Now the ceremonial guards are useless. Everyone put on their armor and fucked their weapons, and followed Zhu Gaoxu to join the Fengtian Jingnan team.

Everyone was watching, staring at Zhu Gaoxu who had just come out.Zhu Gao is tall and big, wearing iron armor, and is still quite imposing.The troops immediately cast a trusted look.

Veda and the other three came up and clasped their fists and said, "Greetings to the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and nodded as a response.

Hou Hai looked back and said: Brothers have been following the prince. Once they go into battle, they will be the prince’s personal army. Be sure to protect them bravely!If you were not taken in by the prince or an ordinary military household, how could you be so fat and strong?

Everyone answered one after another, protecting the prince with their lives!Whoever runs, whoever runs...

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say much. When they finished yelling, he said: Let's go!

Wang Bin led the horse over and wanted to support Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu pushed it away roughly and stepped on the stirrups. Even though he was wearing fifty kilograms of armor, he was still as light as a Yàn and flipped onto the horse's back agilely.

The troops boarded one after another and rushed out of the gatehouse with Zhu Gaoxu.The people outside the door also rectified the queue and joined forces with Zhu Gaoxu. For a moment, the sound of horse hooves on the brick floor were heard.

When Zhu Gaoxu looked back, he saw Wang Gui and other servants standing at the door, bent down and bowing. Wang Gui and Cao Fu wiped their tears.

On both sides of the street, there were many families of the soldiers of the Yi Guard seeing him off. The women and children said goodbye in tears, with their faces full of worry.However, the soldiers were all excited and happy. Someone shouted: Fengtian Jingzhan, and he was granted the title of marquis and ministers!

The army was in high spirits and immediately shouted in unison to cheer up the fun. More than 200 people were in a big battle, like a tiger going down the mountain, shouting and roaring away.

Zhu Gaoxu led his men to sway and rushed straight to the Deshengmen schoolyard in the north of the city. More than 2,000 left-guarded horse troops were stationed here.

Zhu Gaoxu entered the camp gate, and the generals of Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu in the camp came up to meet him.

Zhu Gaoxu handed over the order of Wang Jun, asking everyone to check it out.Then we will show our respects to each other.

King Gaoyang, the last generals followed the military orders of the royal palace, but you only followed your leader. Now you are all obeying your orders.A general said next to him, and the generals agreed.

These soldiers and horses were all subordinates of King Yàn, so Zhu Gaoxu certainly didn't believe that they were following their leader.

Obeying orders is mainly because of the military power that Zhu Gaoxu obtained from the Yàn Prince's Mansion... Of course, appearance and momentum are also very important. The three sons of King Yàn Prince asked Zhu Gaoxu to take charge of the troops to follow the army; otherwise, with the fatty flesh of the prince and the thinness of Gao Sui, they might not be able to suppress them among these martial artists.

Zhu Gaoxu looked around first and saw smoke surging in the earthen walled barracks, and many soldiers had not had breakfast.

He then said to the generals: Have a full meal first, take a break, and reorganize the troops within an hour, and prepare to set off!

All the generals said: The last general will be ordered!

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he snapped away.

He walked inside, turned over, handed the reins to Wang Bin, and walked to the middle of the stroke.

The soldiers squatting over there drinking soup and chewing steamed buns stood up one after another and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

An ordinary guard was hit by a stroke and someone knew Zhu Gaoxu. A soldier showed a simple smile and said: Have you eaten, I'll scoop a bowl for you...

Someone immediately muttered: Even if the prince didn’t eat it, he wouldn’t eat this thing of yours!

I've eaten it, you guys continue to eat it.Zhu Gaoxu walked up, picked up an iron cup, stirred it in the pot with an iron spoon, scooped a spoon and poured it into the pot, and then took a big sip. I tasted it and said, it tasted pretty good.

The troops answered one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't stay much, and continued to walk around with the generals around him.

At this time, he found a team of soldiers lined up not far away, obviously he had eaten it.He walked up to watch with great interest, and the general in front of the soldiers hurried over and held his fists and saluted.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and looked at the queues, which were quite neat.Huh?Zhu Gaoxu suddenly found a young soldier in his teens standing inside, very familiar.

He walked to the soldier and stood still, and the soldier said: Prince, do you still remember the young one?The front hall of the Prince's Mansion...

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that the person who lies behind the hall mutiny was this guy.At that time, Zhu Gaoxu told him that farming was better than fighting.

Zhu Gaoxu asked casually: What is your name?

The soldier hurriedly said: My surname is Jin. From the villagers in the village and brothers in the camp, they all call me Shi Tou.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu grabbed his front and raised the heart protection mirror: Since you are going to fight, just do it well.

Jin Shitou blushed and said excitedly: I listen to the prince.

Zhu Gaoxu left the queue and looked into the distance. He saw teams of horse soldiers running, rushing past a row of targets, pulling his bow and shooting.

He was also interested, so he got on the horse and slapped over, asking Veda beside him to bring a badog riding bow, kicked the horse and rushed over.

His eyes were fixed on the target, he took a deep breath, and pulled the bowstring open.

Zhu Gaoxu now doesn't like practicing martial arts very much. He hasn't used bows and arrows for a long time. He was a little worried for a while. When he rushed closer, he let go of the bowstring.

With a bang, the arrow feather flew away, hitting the bull's eye, and most of the arrows fell into the wooden target!

The generals who watched stroking their hands and shouted: OK!good!

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that in ancient times, the generals who led troops could not just arrange troops and arrange troops, and they still had to learn how to arch, horse, ride, and shoot, otherwise they would not be able to be recognized by the martial artists at this time.

Even if you don’t know how to urge the soldiers?

He rode his horse back and smiled at the generals: I haven't practiced for a long time, but I'm not unfamiliar.

Veda hurriedly said: The prince is so skilled in archery and horses at a young age, and is the best in the three armies. He has long been famous in the Yàn place, so he has to accept it!

The military generals who belonged to the left guard also agreed, and Zhu Gaoxu let out a sigh of relief.
