Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 278
Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and continued: "But you don't have to worry, the Huns don't know that we have [-] reinforcements who have arrived in Wuyuan. Moreover, the camp was only besieged and did not suffer much loss.

I left you here because I want to ask you one thing, especially the Black Mountain Army, can you go to the battlefield? "

Zhang Yan and others immediately replied seriously: "The last general is willing to go through fire and water for his lord, and he will do whatever he wants."

"Okay, with your words, I don't have anything to worry about." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "It's just that the next step is to enter the battlefield. If you want to be promoted, get rich, and want to make military exploits, you have to go to the battlefield Fight hard, but if anyone violates the military order, I will definitely kill him."

"No." Everyone replied immediately.

"Well, all right, let's all go down and rest. We will go to the city tomorrow to change our clothes, and now we all go down to appease the soldiers." Gongsun Xu waved his hand and said.

Everyone retreated one after another, but Gongsun Xu's eyes stayed on the map, and at the same time, he muttered to himself: "Well, you Hun Shanyu, you are so courageous, and at the same time you sent someone to trip me up to win over the Black Mountain Army. Breaking through Yanmen messed up my rear, and at the same time led a large army to besiege my grassland camp, trying to swallow my Northern Expedition troops in one go.

Hehe, I really have a big appetite. If my camp was not built on the back of the water, I might not be able to stop your attack. Hehe, landlubbers also want to break through my camp by water, Gan Xingba should Give you a lot of color, hum, if you are sensible, retreat as soon as possible, if I lead the reinforcements to arrive, I will definitely let you lose a piece of flesh. "

It turned out that the situation in the Grassland Camp was actually quite bad. The Northern Xinjiang Army had been besieged for more than half a month. Moreover, the 1000 frontier troops who were good at field combat were almost encircled and suppressed by the [-] cavalry of the Huns. With the advantage of horsepower, I took a detour of more than [-] miles and returned to Wuyuan. I am afraid that I will really suffer a lot.

However, when the last [-] frontier troops left the camp, Gao Shun's field combat capabilities plummeted. Although there were still tens of thousands of elite cavalry from the Northern Frontier Army in the camp, the Huns obviously wanted to fight hard. If you send cavalry to fight at the right time, you can only end up in a situation where both sides suffer.

This is not what Gao Shun or Gongsun Xu would like to see. How precious are the cavalry of the Northern Border Army? There is no need to be so reckless.

At this moment, the Beijiang military camp is still very lively. Tonight is still the old rule, every ten people will be divided into one gazelle. These days, some of the prey hunted earlier are simply not enough to eat. Fortunately, the forward army and the servant army together Hunting is on the road, and there are really a lot of prey on the grassland, and there are a lot of harvests every day.

These days, in addition to hunting a large number of yellow sheep, many frontiers who ran farther away also captured fierce beasts such as leopards and lions. Some frontiers even encountered bison herds several times, and, just There are no less than ten thousand wild horses captured these days.

It is with such a good harvest that the camp can maintain its expenses. Furthermore, what Gongsun continued to say about ten people and one gazelle is just a standard. Sometimes it is a bison, and sometimes it is a wild deer. Anyway, after the rapid march Every night, every soldier can get at least five catties of meat to eat. Of course, this is not enough to eat in one meal.

The soldiers all gathered around the bonfire to barbecue. Some lieutenants and generals visited the camps one by one. When they asked what needs to be improved in the recent food, everyone shouted that the general is great, and the minimum five catties of meat a day , this standard is impossible for any army in the world.

However, the generals also conveyed Gongsun Xu's meaning that they will arrive in Wuyuan tomorrow, and there will be no such good treatment in the future. If they want to maintain this kind of treatment or want to improve their treatment, they have to go to the battlefield to fight Battle exploits.

The sergeants not only did not object when they heard this, but all of them agreed. These days, these sergeants eat much more meat than they have eaten in the past 30 or [-] years. How could they not understand this kind of treatment? It's something that can't be met.

How could they not understand that the great general Gongsun Xu treated them so well.After receiving this order from Gongsun Xu, all the soldiers expressed that they would go to the battlefield as soon as possible to kill the enemy and fight for fields for their families.

The emotions of the soldiers are quite normal, at least they are not afraid of going to the battlefield. In this way, the generals basically don't need to do any ideological work. Anyway, they will enter Wuyuan tomorrow, receive all the equipment, and then wait for Gongsun to continue. Just order the formation of soldiers and horses.

On the second day, after a hasty breakfast, all the soldiers set out on the road as quickly as possible. An hour later, the first wave of cavalry arrived in Wuyuan. For the infantry who have been running for so many days, it is purely a piece of cake.

After walking at a slow speed for an hour, the infantry marched hard this time. At the last distance, there was no need to save their strength. The soldiers all kept their formation and marched faster, and there was no need for the cavalry to continue to protect the infantry's flanks. And the rear, they also arrived at Wuyuan City early under the leadership of their respective generals.

Zhao Feng, the general of Wuyuan, was already waiting for Gongsun Xu outside the city. Fifty miles was an hour at most for the cavalry. When Gongsun Xu arrived at the foot of Wuyuan City, Zhao Feng immediately went up to him and said: Feng, meet the lord."

Gongsun Xu said little by little: "Get up, lead the way, and talk while walking."

"My lord, please come with me." Zhao Feng stood up and said, "The general has already prepared the equipment for the 2 army, but the general did not expect the lord to arrive so soon, and most of the equipment is still in the warehouse in the city. The equipment of [-] cavalry was transported to the newly built camp outside the city."

"It doesn't matter, the cavalry go directly to the camp to change their equipment." Gongsun Xu shook his hand and said, "The infantry enter the city one by one, enter through the east gate, exit through the north gate, and then enter the camp. It will be troublesome to transport it to the big camp."

"The last general thinks so too." Zhao Feng replied: "As for the logistics, the sudden increase of one hundred thousand troops, the existing food and grass in Wuyuan City may not be enough to sustain all the troops for three months, the last general has already sent someone to urge Over there in Bingzhou, I believe Master Tian Feng will send a batch of grain and grass over soon."

"Three months." Gongsun Xu muttered to himself, "It's been almost three months since the Northern Expedition started. According to the original plan, the migration of refugees should have ended after the Northern Expedition ended. Alas, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes." Ah, tell me about the situation at the Prairie Camp, there is the latest battle report."

"There has been no battle report for 20 days. It turned out that the battle report was sent every three days, but since the lord left the grassland camp, there has been a battle report from there." Zhao Feng replied in a deep voice: "Later, I sent someone to Inquired, but found that the nearby grasslands were blocked by the Huns.

There were only [-] cavalry in Wuyuan, which was not enough to pose a threat to the Xiongnu army, and the last general could only ask for help from Bingzhou. Later, [-] frontier troops suddenly came from the west of Wuyuan, and the last general led his troops to take them into the city. Only then did I learn about the situation at Daying. "

Gongsun Xu nodded and spoke in satisfaction. The [-] soldiers who broke through the siege the day before yesterday had found Gongsun Xu. The high wall was strong and there was a large army stationed there. The Huns voluntarily withdrew after failing to find a bargain. After all, there was Xiahoulan on the Great Wall, and they might come secretly to the Huns at any time.

However, the Great Wall is not a perfect barrier. The Henuo area has been abandoned due to years of war and the destruction of nomadic tribes. The cities are the horns of each other and echo each other.

If the Xiongnu's [-] cavalry hadn't retreated so quickly last time, Xia Houlan would have led an army to attack.

After Gongsun Xu and Zhao Feng continued to chat for half an hour, someone came to report that the army had arrived five miles outside the city and was on standby.

Zhao Feng exclaimed how the infantry's speed was so fast, it was simply super fast, and Gongsun Xu just smiled and said, "If you eat too much, you will have the strength to run."

Then, under the instruction of Gongsun Xu, the 1 cavalry of the Black Mountain Army directly bypassed the outer city and entered the camp, and the remaining [-] infantry entered the city in batches of [-] infantry.

Afterwards, Gongsun Xu handed over all the distribution of equipment to Zhao Feng, and he summoned officers above the school lieutenant to discuss the military situation. Now that the situation is urgent, the siege of the grassland camp must be resolved as soon as possible. , Gongsun Xu became more and more worried that there was something wrong with his dark chess, and there was no news at this time, Gongsun Xu felt that he should send someone to inquire about it.

Not long after, all the officers above the school lieutenant were present in the troops other than the selection front army, and the ten school lieutenants from the selection front army had already sat on Gongsun Xu's left hand side.

Looking at the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that it was because they were happy with the performance of the Black Mountain Army these days. In addition, they were about to go to the battlefield next, and they were able to earn military exploits. The generals of the Montenegrin Army who were attached were very excited.

Gongsun Xu looked at the general of the Black Mountain Army and said: "The army is currently exchanging equipment. After lunch, they will rest for an hour. In the afternoon, they must enter the training state. Now time is very tight. You must improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest possible time. Speaking up, I believe that the Black Mountain Army will be a brave and capable army, but everything needs to be proved by facts, do you have any problems?"

"No." The generals of the Black Mountain Army replied in unison.

"Very good, Zhang Yan, Bai Rao, Li Damu, Huang Tao, the four of you should straighten out the 10 troops of the Black Mountain Army immediately. We will set off tomorrow without delay. After the meeting is over, you have to prepare as soon as possible." Gongsun Xu looked The four ordered.

"In such a hurry, there is no celebration..." Li Damu said carelessly.

The other three had already turned their heads to stare at him, Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "I promised the soldiers, I will never break my word, you can rest assured. You must convey my meaning to the sergeants at all levels."

"No." Everyone replied in unison again.
