Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality

The Qin and Han Dynasties left most of the purchased materials to the defenders of the Cuona Lake camp, while the accompanying tribesmen carried a large amount of spiritual rice and wheat purchased from the Ouyang tribe and a large amount of ordinary grain, enough to feed 300,000 people for the first half of the year.

Due to the burden of the sheep, they could only walk 80 kilometers a day. In order to quickly form the combat effectiveness of the Second Army, the first batch of 20,000 armors delivered by the Ouyang Department was divided into 15,000 sets for the Second Army. This is still the Second Elder Sect. With his eyes open, he would dare to sell anything, but even the soldiers who could not sell their lives had to cobble together relatively complete armors to get enough for 20,000 sets.

The Qin and Han Dynasties personally supervised and trained the Second Army and the Thirty-sixth Reserve Regiment. The Second Army is positioned for rapid response. It does not have the heavy equipment battalions and crossbows equipped by the First Army, but everyone is equipped with Mo Dao. They can change their equipment only after returning to Qianshui Lake Camp.

In particular, the Qin and Han Dynasties required the Second Army to have super long-range attack capabilities. According to this requirement, military commanders at all levels of the Second Army are also striving for this goal. They conduct raid drills every day, with a distance of at least 500 kilometers. The coordination capabilities between the brigades have also been greatly improved.

More than 20,000 people formed a formation on the grassland, galloping back and forth. Fortunately, the local herdsmen were members of the Qin and Han tribes, so they knew it was their own army, so they just had fun watching this constantly attacking army from a distance. Occasionally, when they wait, a logistics officer will come to the tribe to purchase supplies, and the prices are more reasonable than before. The young people of the tribe looked at the knights on horseback covered in armor with envy. Not only were they well-equipped and their chances of surviving after the war were much higher, but also the benefits after joining the army were very attractive, even for them. It is one of the few avenues for upward development.

Qin Han led the reserve group and also conducted some basic training, focusing on training organizational discipline and teamwork awareness. After the morning drill, it was patrolling and handling some conflicts. Since the Second Army was on guard to the north of the migrating tribesmen, safety was guaranteed. The reserve regiment is also responsible for the task of eradicating banditry. This is a required course for them to grow into qualified soldiers. Only an army that has seen blood can face the enemy calmly.

The small groups of horse bandits as small as grass seriously harmed the interests of Qin and Han Dynasties and posed a serious threat to his trade routes. Therefore, when the Qin army saw the horse bandits, they had only one policy: to destroy them. Follow the style of surrender or annihilation.

One of the principles of the Qin army is that non-military personnel are not allowed to be directly requisitioned. Failure to do so is considered treason by default. However, prisoners after the battle are military supplies, and there is a share of the seizure. Therefore, the Qin army was very enthusiastic about suppressing bandits.

Today, the reserve regiment once again wiped out a group of horse bandits. Not many enemies were killed, but many old women and children were captured. This situation also lasted three times. The reserve group reported this abnormal situation to Qin and Han.

Qin Han and Ouyang Feiyan discussed it. "Sister Feiyan, guess what the horse bandits want to express?"

"Ju Zai, we'd better be careful. No matter what conspiracy he has, we will dispatch the first unit of the Second Army to destroy him overnight. This is a good training opportunity."

"I have sent an order to Thirteenth Brother Qin Bei to make arrangements. I have also notified the reserve group to strengthen their vigilance."

The Second Army received military orders from Qin and Han on their way back. Qin Bei immediately called the eighth brigade commander and ordered him to search south immediately to find the horse bandits and annihilate them. At the same time, he ordered the 10th Regiment of the Su Guards to send a hundred-man team to assist.

The troops who received the order immediately separated from the main force and moved south. At this moment, three hundred kilometers due east of the migrating tribe, a large number of camps were hidden in the hills, very hidden in the night sky. There were also large groups of wild sheep roaming not far from the camp.

In a wide depression, a group of horse bandit leaders were negotiating.

"We can't attack a stone with an egg. Can we and others break the prestige that the Qin Army has gained in the past two years? Besides, there are more than 20,000 cavalry equipped with armor. They are more than our total number." A young woman in the middle of the second stage objected road.

"Red Lady, we are not fighting 20,000 armored cavalry. Our target is the 1,000 cavalry who are chasing us. Their equipment is not much better than ours. Besides, I am going to rob people. Twenty There are more than 10,000 people, so if I just grab some, it will be enough for us to eat.”

"Ying Lao San, you are the corn thief. You want to steal everything, and you will not let go of anyone you can get, but you have to choose your damn target well." The red lady said disdainfully.

"Red Lady, you stinky bitch, if I can't beat you, I will definitely let you taste my power."

"Just let the horse come over, I will continue."

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. I have news that may interest you." Liu Shenzhi smiled and waited for everyone's reaction.

"White-faced scholar, can you be more damn smart? Don't make people's appetites," Ying Laosan urged.

"Ying Laosan, please show some respect to your husband," the middle-aged man sitting in the middle, who had never spoken, stopped him. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

"According to the information I got from the caravan, this trip of 200,000 tribesmen to the east is very famous. The leader is still my cousin. This cousin of mine is the military leader of these 200,000 tribes. This time he went to the Ouyang tribe in the middle of Xizhou to pick up his wife. It is said that he has an army of one hundred thousand." Liu Shenzhi said mysteriously.

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard this.

"You motherfucker, stop scaring people. I don't believe in evil. If he really had so many troops, I would have been destroyed by him long ago. How could I be so cool now? You don't want to do your best for your cousin, so you scare me. Ours, right?" After Ying Laosan finished speaking, most people nodded in agreement.

Liu Shenzhi didn't bother to argue with him and smiled.

"What do you think sir?" Bai Daniu asked. Liu Shenzhi was not sure about this life-saving person. He suggested, "Brother Bai, I don't have a good idea, but if I were you, I would send someone to see you first."

"Oh, can't it be that we don't interfere with the well water and the river water?" Bai Daniu still wanted to struggle.

Liu Shenzhi shook his head and said no. Everyone suddenly became angry, and for a while, 'bold words' kept flying in the big tent. Only Red Lady and Bai Daniu were thinking calmly.

"Then let's wait here for them to fight. I, Ying Laosan, am not a vegetarian."

"Perhaps your wish will come true soon." Liu Shenzhi teased.

"What the hell do you mean? Did you tip off your cousin?" Yin Sanquan asked.

"Ying Laosan, what will you do if I tip off the news?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Liu Shenzhi in shock.

"Now, you have two choices. First, let me inform you. Second, just wait for them to come to your door." Liu Shenzhi said seriously, his face unchanged.

When it was everyone's turn to make a choice, there was chaos again. The red lady asked Liu Shenzhi, "Commander Liu, what do you think is the way out for our Red Scarf Detachment of Women?"

"Thanks to the life-saving grace of Red Lady and Master Bai, when the situation deteriorates, I will do my best to protect you two. The best advice is not to resist. It's up to you to listen or not."

The two looked at him deeply, and the three of them sighed in unison. As for the reason! Each is different.

In the end, Liu Shenzhi offered his advice and said quietly, "When it is irreversible, you two will tell the visitors: I have an old relationship with your military lords Qin and Han Dynasties. Remember, remember." After he finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore and sat back to watch the discussion. Diverse.

Everyone was in fear all night, but nothing happened. They are still afraid of fighting with the regular army at night, but during the day, if they can't fight, they can't run away! As soon as daybreak came, many horse bandits sent people to the west to inquire about information. Most of what they collected was of little value, but all the spies came back, which meant that the cavalry that had been chasing them did not take action. This means that the enemy has taken action.

The leaders gathered together again. This time the atmosphere was not as lively as last night, but the pressure of facing the battle was so full. They discussed for a long time without reaching a consensus. There are many ideas, some want to make a fortune, some want to leave now, and some want to go head-on. Most of them are just waiting and watching.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, scouts and detectives came from the north to report that an army was coming from the north with an unknown number. After that, he took his last breath. This was how he deceived the armor-piercing cavalry scouts by pretending to be dead while enduring serious injuries.

When they heard that the enemy was coming from the north, everyone knew that they were going to face an enemy army of 20,000 people. Everyone looked at each other, and after a while Bai Daniu said, "Strengthen the vigilance, build more fences and horse-stopping posts, and put more rocks on the road." As if they had found someone to support them, everyone went to work as arranged.

What they didn't know was that there were several pairs of eyes in the sky taking turns to see their every move. The horse bandits felt a little more at ease after seeing the preparations.

After receiving the information from the Qin Wei Army Hundreds, the Eighth Brigade Commander of the Second Army convened the commanders of each regiment for discussion. He used to be the deputy commander of the Seventh Regiment. Now that he has more people in command, he is much more cautious. What's more, the ground cavalry is far worse than the sky cavalry, so the combat effectiveness he can command has become weaker.

According to intelligence, there are more than 15,000 enemies, most of whom are young and strong men. There is a horse pit dug on both sides, and there are many traps. The only way to go west is that there are no traps. The five regiment commanders put forward suggestions one after another, and finally the brigade commander made the decision to use the techniques of harassment from the north, feint attacks from the east and south, and surprise attacks from the west to confuse the enemy's formation. The air brigade was responsible for guiding and concentrating the enemy's strength.

In the evening, the bandit leaders saw a large black mass of cavalry pressing towards him from the north, and stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow. Just when everyone was puzzled, the cavalry shouted and began to charge. They greeted each other with arrows, and the enemy threw bows and arrows round after round in front of the trap.

When everyone focused their attention on the north, they heard that the east and south were attacked at the same time. Everyone was overjoyed and felt that God was blessing them. After another quarter of an hour, the rumble of horse hooves came from the west. Everyone couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly drew up their troops to the west.

Their movement was interrupted by air strikes, and arrows rained down on them whenever the shadows were concentrated. Liu Shenzhi hurriedly called Lady Hong and Master Bai. He asked them to light a bonfire in the camp and place the Qin army flag copied by Liu Shenzhi next to it. Sure enough, after their move, air strikes no longer targeted them.

When the three regiments rushed into the temporary camp of the horse bandits from the west, the outcome was determined. The commander of the Eighth Brigade led a group of people and shouted to the surrounded horse bandits, "Come out and answer the question!"

When Hong Niangzi and Bai Daniu were about to speak, they were pulled back by Liu Shenzhi. They saw him walking out of the crowd and walking toward the commander of the Eighth Brigade with arrows aimed at them. When he reached 20 meters, the cavalryman raised his Tang sword, he stopped and shouted, "I am Liu Zhi, the cousin of your military commander Qin Han. The mother of your military commander is my cousin." After hearing what he said, the eighth brigade commander also said The man put down his sword and arrows and asked people to let him come over.

The messenger brought one to Liu Zhi and motioned for him to mount. After the two parties met, they briefly confirmed that everything was correct, and then ordered people to take Liu Zhi to the rear. But Liu Zhi hurriedly explained the reason. The two teams of Red Lady and White Daniu were not treated as prisoners. Their weapons and excess horses were collected, and they were held hostage in the army. This time, the Eighth Brigade destroyed this group of horse bandits at the cost of more than 100 killed and 500 wounded, annihilating more than 3,500 enemies, capturing nearly 9,000 people, and capturing countless items.

At noon on the third day, Qin Han led his troops to camp at the temporary camp of the horse bandits. It was the first time that he met his relatives on his mother's side, so Qin Han arranged the aftermath and immediately took Ouyang Feiyan to meet Liu Zhi. The crowd came to a special camp. When they walked into the tent, they saw three people. Both sides were looking at each other. Qin Han said, "Which one is my cousin?"

Liu Zhi cupped his fists in greeting and said, "I used to hear my grandparents say that they have an extraordinary grandson. Today I saw him and he is indeed so extraordinary. We have known each other for a long time. I am your cousin Liu Zhi. Please give me your advice in the future!"

"Cousin is so complimentary. It would be unfilial on our part to not visit our grandparents. We are going to visit them in a while. How can we expect my cousin to lead the way?" Qin Han laughed.

"If you go, my grandparents will be very excited. Then we will go shopping around Donghai City together." After saying that, he looked at the woman covered by the veil and said, "I guess these are my cousins!"

Qin Han pulled Ouyang Feiyan and introduced him, "This is my wife Ouyang Feiyan. Feiyan, this is my cousin."

"Hello, cousin"

"Okay, haha, okay, haha, great. I think that sanctimonious guy Zhao Chengfei will definitely be tired, but my cousins ​​gave me a sigh of relief." As he spoke, Liu Zhi shed tears.

"Cousin, although I don't know what harm my cousin has done to you, he and I are only cousins, and I can't vent my anger for you!" Ouyang Feiyan didn't mind talking about her and Zhao Chengfei.

"Okay, Feiyan! A man should not shed tears lightly. Cousin, why are you here?"

"Listen to me and tell me slowly." Liu Zhi explained the reason. He and Alian's childhood sweetheart were both talking about marriage, but the girl was a vassal clan of the Zhao family in Donghai City. Zhao Chengfei and Liu Zhi had a feud, so Zhao Chengfei specifically asked the Alian family to donate her to him. The loyal Alian Failing to do so, he was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea, leaving no trace of his body. Liu Zhi was so angry that his family couldn't tolerate it, so he ran away from home in anger. When he went to the grassland and inquired about Qin's situation, he immediately wanted to use the power of his relatives to speak out. He saw the status of Qin and Han, and found that his matter was just a word to Qin and Han. So when Qin Han went to Ouyang Department, he didn’t want to wait for a moment, so he went to Ma Xiang to go to Ouyang Department. He was almost killed and took away his wealth on the way. Fortunately, he met Master Bai who came to save him. Master Hong usually had many There is care.

Qin Han clasped his fists in thanks to the two of them, but the two of them did not dare to show off and returned the favor immediately.

"Since you are kind to my relatives, there are two ways for you. One is to join our army, and the other is to become an ordinary girl." Qin Han decided the fate of the two of them with one word.

"We have met the military leader. Thank you for your support and will never give up. We are determined to accompany you in life and death."

"Okay, Feiyan, I'll leave the red lady to you, you can figure it out. Master Bai will reorganize your department into a reserve regiment." Qin Han took care of Liu Zhi's face and did not immediately disperse Bai Daniu's department.

"Military leader, you should call me Daniu. It doesn't sound good to be the boss. I couldn't help it before." Bai Daniu said with shame.

"Okay, Daniel, you won't regret today's decision." After speaking, he took his hand and patted it. Seeing that he was as honest as he looked, Qin Han couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This Bai Daniu was in the upper second level of strength. No one would believe him if he said there was nothing wrong.

In this campaign against bandits, the Second Army's recruit brigade performed brilliantly. They distributed rewards in public according to the rules, with a minimum of twenty black spirit stones per person. The victims were announced to the entire army so that everyone could supervise the implementation of preferential treatment. The effect of this demonstration was remarkable. Other departments were enthusiastic in training and suppressing bandits, and even the reserve regiments followed suit.

Bai Daniu immediately fell in love with this atmosphere and worked hard to train troops according to the Qin army's method, and he also did a great job in loyalty education. Everything is in the eyes of Qin and Han.

There are 800 Hong Niang soldiers, and after excluding the men, a Feng battalion is established directly under Ouyang Feiyan. The first battalion commander is Hongyan, and the deputy battalion commander is Ou Bailan. Equipped with the upper section of first-level armor, a hundred-stone composite crossbow, a Tang sword, and one person with two horses. It was also the first time that the compound crossbow was equipped to troops other than the Qin Wei Army.

When Qin Han was organizing the reorganization plan for Ouyang Feiyan's camp, Ouyang Feiyan, who was known for his calmness, excitedly picked up Qin Han and kissed him hard.
