Minister

Chapter 5

5【Six Years of Jiankang】

Two days later the army began to cross the river.

Several iron cables have been pulled up on both sides of the river bank, and the boat moves forward by these iron cables.The boatmen in charge are all soldiers under Ji Gangfeng's command, and only these specially trained soldiers can send these ferries across the Suijiang River.Driving in such raging waves, I am afraid that there is no other word to describe it except natural danger.After all, Wei Chi is from the south. Although he feels dizzy, he can still support himself. Populus euphratica has already vomited in a mess, and he can only stand firm by supporting Wei Chi's shoulders.The Wei River was not too wide, and it took less than half an hour to reach the bank. Looking back, I could only see the blurred river bank and the troop carriers undulating in the waves.do not!Da Qi!Wei Chi said silently in his heart, looking up into the distance, he saw some green shoots sprouted on the cold black soil, and the thick color stretched to the sky.This is Monan!

Once you cross the Suijiang River, you are considered to have entered a war zone. Although you are marching, you must pay attention to the formation.Xue Yi led the front army, with supplies and other officers in the center, light cavalry on the wings, and heavy cavalry and heavy infantry in the rear.In the event of an attack, the troops can quickly disperse and transform from a marching team to a wartime form.

The Qijiang River is fast-moving, and if attacked on the river bank, it will almost be suppressed by the riverside and unable to raise its head, and the natural moat of defense will become a dead end. Therefore, the army dare not neglect, and set off immediately after setting up the formation. It is not necessary to reach the distance in the evening. Set up a village in the Chahar Grassland a hundred miles away from the river.

After seasickness, there was another quick march, and Hu Yanglin was exhausted and went to bed early.Wei Chi reviewed military cases alone in his tent. The Chahar Grassland is flat and has a wide field of vision. The army needs to rest here for a day before going on the road.Judging from King Qin's military report, they will enter Wotulei's fief within two days.The terrain of Monan is pear-shaped. The junction between him and Daqi is narrow and the east is open. There is a huge frozen desert in the north and the natural danger of the Yijiang River in the south.Bayantala, the fiefdom of Wotulei, is at the junction of the northernmost part and the desert, and Ulanqab, the capital of Monan, is in the middle of Monan.There is a stretch of Ikezhao Mountain Range between the two places, and it is because of the existence of this mysterious and huge mountain range that Monan King can rest assured that the rich Bayantala will be entrusted to Lord Wotolei.

Is the Wang family army preparing to go north to respond to the King of Qin... or is it preparing... Wei Chi took out a tin tube from his cuff. This was the first flying letter he had received since he sent troops. There was only one sentence on it

"Tang Jingshi was beheaded, so Shaohu has nothing to worry about."

Tang Jingshi was the Zuo Cheng of Honglu Temple, Wei Chi smiled slightly, and already had an idea in his heart.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Yunyi greeted two staff officers and three officers to enter the account.

Wang Yunyi already seemed smug, and it seemed that he might have received the message earlier than Wei Chi.The two staff officers are Wang Yunyi's confidantes, it seems that today they came to ask the meaning of the three counselors.Except for Wei Chi, the other two were battle-tested generals. It was not difficult for them to guess Wang Yunyi's intentions, and they all agreed with Mr. Wang's proposal.

Wang Yunyi nodded, turned around and said to Wei Chi who was sitting beside him, "What suggestion does Wei Canling have?"

Wei Chi pondered for a moment: "Master Wang, this plan is very good, but it is still a question of whether it can be concealed." Wei Chi has already received the letter from King Yan, so naturally he will not object to Wang Yunyi's proposal, but how to do it is not clear. It did make him suspicious.

"Wei Shenling," Wang Yunyi's first-class staff officer Du Qihuan concluded, "Do you know the difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry?"

Wei Chi made an arch: "Heavy cavalry each carry heavy loads, and both horses and cavalry are fully armored. In addition to knives and bows, they are also equipped with three-eyed or five-eyed blunderbusses. Armor, only two sets of armor, equipped with bows, crossbows and swords, not firearms. Heavy cavalry is mainly calm and fast, and is mostly used for field battles. Light cavalry is mostly used for surprise attacks."

Wang Yunyi nodded appreciatively.

Du Qihuan smiled mysteriously: "The current Qingqi has firearms!"

Although most people in the army believed that Wei Chi came because of King Yan, they naturally looked down upon him.But how did Wang Yunyi not know the relationship between the number one scholar of the Geng family and Wei Chi?And Lao Geng informed him, so naturally he was not regarded as the king of Yan.What military commanders hate most is that civil servants don't know how to pretend to understand, and they are still stubborn. They are afraid that some nerds will contradict him today, but seeing this Wei Chi is so humble and stable, he is unavoidably happy.

"What's the use of talking about it?" Wang Yunyi waved his hand: "Take Wei Shenling to have a look."

Du Qihuan agreed.Wang Yunyi added another sentence: "Take him to see the food, grass, luggage and so on."

After Du Qihuan and Wei Chi walked out of the big tent, the leader of the camp, Ning Yuan, smiled and said, "General Wang is really generous."

Wang Yunyi waved his hand: "This battlefield is no better than the imperial court. Since he has entered this big tent, he is naturally regarded as a brother, let alone a smart and motivated person?"

Ning Yuan nodded.

Du Qihuan took Wei Chi to the convoy camp on the west side of the camp. After the battalion commander greeted him, he took Wei Chi into the convoy.There are a total of [-] chariots in this expedition. At this time, the chariots are not used for fighting, but for transportation. Horses are no longer used for driving, but oxen are used instead. One is because of the lack of horses in the Central Plains, and the other is because of the stamina of oxen. Stronger than horses and less prone to injury.Wei Chi looked at these cows carefully. They were all cows. If there was a stalemate in a battle and the supplies were insufficient, these cows could still provide milk and meat... With such thorough consideration, it seems that the emperor really put a lot of effort into it, Tang Jingshi She thought that the emperor had fallen into her trap... but how could she have expected that she had fallen into the emperor's trap?

Du Qihuan lifted the oilcloth on the car, picked up a musket and handed it to Wei Chi: "Look carefully."

This musket is much smaller and lighter than the general three-eyed blunderbuss. The whole body is white and made of fine steel. It has only two holes, the handle is slightly curved, and there is an extra handrail in the middle of the barrel.Du Qihuan handed over another one while looking closely. This one was much heavier than the previous one, with eighteen holes, a longer handle, a round shield attached to the handle, and a bayonet cast at the end of the barrel.

"The one in front is a rifled gun, and the one in the back is a magic gun. Let's go out and try!" Du Qihuan led Wei Chi out of the convoy, and ordered the engineers to set up the target)

Two hundred paces away, Du Qihuan took a test shot with a rifled gun and hit four out of six rounds!

"What a god!" Wei Chi exclaimed. In the past, the range of muskets was only a hundred paces and the accuracy was extremely low. Du Qihuan could still shoot such a result.

The divine electric gun was loaded from the breech! !As soon as it is sent out, it pierces through the air like eighteen poisonous snakes. Not to mention infantry, even cavalry may not be able to avoid it!Wouldn't it be raining bullets if all the gunshots fired at once?

"How is it? Wei Shenling chin down!" Du Qihuan smiled and helped Wei Chi's wide mouth.

"From this point of view, the general's plan will surely come true!" Wei Chi shook Du Qihuan's hand excitedly: "It is said that the cavalry in Monan are magic soldiers. Compared with my cavalry in Daqi today, I am afraid that they will lose this title. Already!"

"Wei Canling, do you want to go for a walk with me?" Du Qihuan stroked his mustache in a spirited manner.

"Why don't you go?" Wei Chi pulled Du Qihuan on and ran into the convoy...

This morning, Wei Chi was eye-opening: General Iron Cannon, Second General Iron Cannon, Little General Bronze Cannon, God Gun, Big Bronze Folang Machine, God Cannon, Flying Cannon, Immediate Folang Machine, God Arrow, Tie Xuan Wind Pao, Tassel Pao, Tie Fu Lang Machine, Tiesan Pao, Wankou Pao, Xiao Shen Pao... He was dazzled by seeing it, and he was still unsatisfied after parting with Du Qihuan. In the past five years, the imperial court has increased taxes by more than ten This time, all industries except agriculture have been increased a lot... It seems that the Shenji Battalion of the Ministry of War has really lived up to these white money!

"Wei Canling! Wei Canling!"

As soon as Wei Chi looked up, he realized that if Populus euphratica hadn't been pulling him, he would have almost hit the stake!

"Mr. Hu Qian, you came here..." Wei Chi was a little embarrassed.

"It's past noon..." Hu Yanglin looked at Wei Chi's nose with a bit of complaint...it's so straight, it must hurt if it hits it...

"Oh..." Wei Chi just came back to his soul, and it seemed that he was going back to eat cold food again.

This time it was Wei Chi who chewed the vegetables for twenty times, Hu Yanglin couldn't stand it any longer, and decided to ask, "Shaohu? Shaohu?"

"Oh..." Wei Chi returned to his senses.

"What happened to General Wang's tent this morning?"

"Ah...no, I was just surprised when I saw the drills of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion." After all, Hu Yanglin was a junior officer, and Wei Chi couldn't say much.

"But those cannons?" Hu Yanglin laughed.

Wei Chi nodded.

"Shaohu knows that the strength of the Monan cavalry is not because of the number of soldiers, but the speed. It's on your neck."

What Hu Yanglin said was true, even the two sharp guns I saw today couldn't handle the cavalry in Monan at a reload speed.

"And the ammunition is limited, and the weapons of our ancestors are still reliable on the battlefield." Hu Yanglin was referring to the Jiuqu Spear.

The former Hu Yanglin and Du Yun accompanied Wei Chi to choose one. Wei Chi has already learned a little bit, but Wei Chi's physical fitness is poor, the strength of his waist and arms is not good, and his progress is getting better and better. Small.In the words of Du Ran, it is more and more developed towards the direction of embroidering legs.The moves are still quick to learn, but it is not good to really fight against people.Hu Yanglin saw that Wei Chi was fascinated by firearms, and mistakenly thought that he was going to give up learning the Jiuqu Spear. As a general, he should choose weapons with high mobility. Although firearms are good, they are not suitable.

Thinking of Wei Chi, the Jiuqu Spear, made him annoyed, and the more he practiced, the more he remembered that he was a woman.In fact, he has almost forgotten that he is a woman... It seems that he has never been a woman for a day since he can remember.

"Shaohu has only practiced for such a short time...the level is naturally limited." Hu Yanglin quickly comforted: "Everyone is like this, but I have practiced for ten years!"

In fact, Hu Yanglin was also quite worried about Wei Chi's thin arms... But he is still young, isn't he?Practice for a few months and you will get stronger.

Seeing Populus euphratica's confident appearance, Wei Chi felt guilty in his heart. The feeling from a long time ago came back to his heart, ten years ago, right?

After dinner, Du Yun came to oversee the army, and Wei Chi followed him out to practice guns in desperation.

Wei Chi has already learned the one hundred and eight moves of the Jiuqu Spear. Seeing Wei Chi dancing the spear proficiently, Du Ran was surprised, surprised by this person's memory and imitation ability, but... this level alone is not enough , because this is a battlefield - bloody, fickle...

"Stop! Stop!" Du Yun gestured: "Stop making gestures too... Come, fight with me."

Wei Chi hesitated.

"War, fight, of course you are fighting with people. You have learned the moves well, so it's useless to practice any more. Come! Fight with me!" Du Yun raised his sledgehammer while greeting.

Wei Chi looked at the gleaming sledgehammer... swallowed a mouthful of saliva... in the midst of this mouthful of saliva, Du Yun jumped forward and hit him!

"Ah!" Wei Chi couldn't help shouting, and moved his left foot back, narrowly avoiding it. In an instant, Du Yun, who was still smiling just now, was already full of murderous aura.Du Yun didn't give Wei Chi a chance to stand firm on his left foot, so he turned around and hit him on the waist.

"Use a gun! Use a gun!" Hu Yanglin shouted from the side.

gun!Only then did Wei Chi remember that he still had a gun in his hand, so he hurriedly stuck the end of the gun into the ground to temporarily prevent the hammer from directly hitting his waist, but the barrel of the gun couldn't withstand the attack of the sledgehammer at all, and it hadn't been completely formed for Wei Chi. The gap between turning around was smashed away.Wei Chi tried his best to walk and dodge, while desperately grabbing the barrel of the gun and not letting go. At the moment when the handle of the gun turned from bent to straight, Wei Chi felt that his entire arm had been shaken to the point of losing consciousness.You can't get so close to him, you have to jump away!Wei Chi tried his best to jump behind Du Yun and turned around.How could Du Yun not know what he was thinking?Before Wei Chi could get into position, Du Ran approached him again.At this moment, Wei Chi felt that the weapon in his hand was a burden: "Stop! Wait a minute!" Du Yun seemed to really want to take his life, and fell down with a heavy hammer!

Wei Chi was forced to fall to the ground and tightly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the sledgehammer was only one foot away from his Tianling Cap.And Du Yun, who was holding a sledgehammer, returned to his usual smile.

"First, fighting a war is not a show. No one will wait for you to put on a good posture. Of course, it doesn't have to be a good posture." Du Yun put away the sledgehammer and stretched out his hand to lift Wei Chi on the ground: "Second, don't tell the enemy to wait. You. Third, don’t close your eyes at any time!” In fact, there are many things that Du Cane wants to say, but these three are the most important, which are related to whether you will become a warrior or a fighter in the end.

"That's all for today, and I'll come to fight with you every day in the future!" Du Yun looked at Wei Chi's dazed look, nodded his nose, turned around and left gracefully.

"Oh!" Wei Chi covered his nose, this guy's hands are too heavy!Is this the point? ? ! !

"Ah!" Hu Yanglin yelled in a low voice almost at the same time, he pulled Wei Chi's hand away and saw a painted face.That's right, Wei Chi's hand was bleeding just now... and a lot.Seeing that the nerd still looked stupid, Hu Yanglin shook his head and dragged him to wash his face with medicine.

After that, the soldiers of each battalion could watch Du Ran chasing and beating Wei Shenling every day, and the jumping and dancing was very exciting.Wei Chi, who was terrified of being chased, actually didn't know what level the big man was chasing her. If she knew, he would feel very honored.But Du Yun felt that if Wei Chi could escape under his fierce pursuit, then it would not be a coincidence or a miracle to survive the harsh battlefield.

Before and after setting up camp, Wei Chi always looked at the military case, looking around in a daze.But now I don't dare, Du Ran almost always falls from the sky.For the first time in his life, Wei Chi felt very tired. After leaving Chahar, the army marched all the way north towards the Ikezhao Mountains. The road became more and more difficult to navigate. Hailstorms and snowstorms were commonplace. After marching every day, they had to enter the army camp When discussing affairs, you have to approve countless military cases, and you have to think about various problems in your mind, and you must prevent Du Ran from chasing and killing you when you think about problems.

Just when Wei Chi was tortured by Du Yun and was about to collapse, rescuers arrived and successfully diverted Du Motou's attention—on the third day of the march, the army encountered the first wave of enemies, a small group of cavalry from Monan .The army quickly formed a formation, and Du Yun led more than a hundred cavalry to encircle and suppress the enemy.This was Wei Chi's first time facing the slaughter on the battlefield. It was as if a mother beast was using prey to show her child how to hunt, slowly and easily annihilating the enemy.Standing on the horse, Wei Chi found that he was not as flustered as he expected. He carefully watched Du Ran's every move, sprinting, slashing, circling, encircling and suppressing, and the words in the book of war were interpreted vividly.

It took only a quarter of an hour for the army to set off again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Du Yun also returned to the team alive and kicking. Seeing Wei Chi next to him secretly turning his face away, Du Yun smiled and got closer to him. Wipe on the body of the pool.

"Ouch!" Wei Chi finally vomited.

When they arrived at the campsite, Wei Chi was so smoked that he almost lost his strength, and walked into Wang Yunyi's big tent in a daze.

"Pfft!" Du Qihuan spit out a sip of tea: "Wei Shenling is so embarrassed, it seems that he was bullied by the younger generation of the Du family."

"Officer Du still has the heart to make sarcastic remarks..." Wei Chi was annoyed.

Du Qihuan waved his hand: "Wei Canling, this is a battlefield, it's not good to be too clean! I heard that you take a bath every night."

Wei Chi shook his head, rubbing with a bucket of water counts as washing?Du Qihuan was an airless person, and Wei Chi knew him well, so he went straight over to grab his tea and drank it: "Today, on the marching road, I saw a place that looked like a house had been burned down. But this The shepherds on the prairie were robbed by robbers?"

Du Qihuan snatched back the tea and drank it in one gulp, saying, "The people on this grassland are all robbers. How can there be any separation between shepherds and robbers? When the water and grass are abundant, the Monan people are shepherds. The Monan people are bandits, and those you saw were their inns, which were wiped out by General Xue Yixue of the former army."

The emperors of the former Monan dynasty standardized the post station system on the grassland. The messenger soldiers on the grassland are not comparable to those in the Central Plains. Every time a post station passes by, they change horses without changing people. The fastest one day can cover more than 250 miles, and it is rainy or not.The management system of the post station is very strict. If the prepared horses cannot run two hundred miles, the horse feeders will be whipped.If there is any difference in the prepared dry food, no matter how much the difference is, it will be a capital offense.It can be said that these stations are more reliable and faster than Yanwang's pigeons.

However, this perfect transportation network is about to be broken, Wei Chi smiled secretly, the previous generation of Monan King may not have expected that Da Qi would also invade the grassland one day.

I'm so excited in this chapter...a lot of episodes, hiding my face

This is the end of the daily update, girls, see you next Saturday~~~╭(╯3╰)╮

====================================================================================================================================================================================== =============

The reason why Wei Chi is set as a general is because this position is quite special, and it feels like he can hold both civil and military positions, and he is considered a senior general from the general to the top. It is too unreliable to let Xiao Wei start from a small soldier. She is not expected to kill people.According to the habit of governing military affairs with literature, Comrade Wei Canling is still very respected in the army.But there is a habit in the army, that is, they can't get used to new recruits. Of course, many people can't get used to those who temporarily jump in the queue like Wei Chi~~~ This is also the most original reason why Tang Tongxue can't get used to Mr. Wei.One of the characteristics of soldiers is that they are dicks, so the army is full of dicks.It's a pity that Comrade Wei Chi's job is to take endorsement exams. Not only is he not a dick at all, but he also puts nasty words like "you are polite, ask your seniors" all day long, which makes a group of soldiers very angry. It's cool~~~~ This is also the reason why everyone gives her more face and is willing to help her teach her.

I'm not good at writing wars~~ so I urgently hope to make this part of the story more reasonable.Please give us your opinions, bye!
