Chapter 134

奉承彰武42年3月15日，比规定时间早了3天，温泉寨寨兵1500骑到达兴督寨。

Xingdu Village, an ordinary village, is as unremarkable as most military villages in the empire.Compared with the hot spring village, it is not on the main road of transportation, but it is in the core of the fortress group, so it is not necessary.However, after being determined by Liu Fa as the gathering place for the army, Xingdu village swelled up, and the population increased exponentially day by day.

With the arrival of Liu Fa, the officials of Yangwei General's Mansion moved to work, and the Zhizhai of Xingdu Village took the initiative to move out of the village.Outside the village, tents were erected one after another, and the scale of the camp was infinitely expanded. Looking at it now, there are endless seas of tents everywhere. White tents stand on the grassland, like millions of soldiers!
Lin Yang and others were very surprised when they saw it for the first time. For Zhang Cai, who had seen hundreds of thousands of horses galloping and hundreds of thousands of soldiers killing each other, his heart was like still water, and it was difficult to make waves.

Outside, Qianqi stopped, and Lin Yang patted his horse and shouted loudly: "My hot spring village knows Lin Yang and Lin Yunji, come here under the order of the general!"

Someone answered loudly: "Do you have a military badge and arrow? Do you know the official seal of the village?"

"Everything!"

After Lin Yang finished speaking, he took out the military badge, command arrow, and official seal from his pocket.A group of soldiers came out to take it, and then they went back. After checking for a while, a civil servant came out with ten or twenty soldiers.

He bowed his hands to Lin Yang: "Hot Spring Lin Zhizhai?"

Lin Yang replied: "Of course!"

The clerk spread out the roster, carefully compared Lin Yang's handsome face, and nodded.

"Identity verification is complete, and the command of the great general, Hot Spring Village dispatches 200 horsemen, 500 crossbowmen and shield soldiers, and 300 spearmen. There are a total of 1500 soldiers. Can the army come?"

After finishing speaking, he unconsciously glanced at the cavalry behind Lin Yang, it was so eye-catching.

Lin Yang replied: "I made up my own mind and led 1500 riders to Wenquanzhai. The number of soldiers the general wants is not bad!"

The civil official frowned after hearing this: "Although I am a small official, Lin Zhizhai's reputation is like thunder, and he is a good man! But in the army, the military order is in charge, and Lin Zhizhai violated the military order, but it is not counted. Violating the military order, I can't be the master, please wait a little longer outside, I will ask Sima for instructions! How about it?"

Lin Yang didn't think much about it: "Of course it is possible, but our troops are on their way quickly, and people need food and horses, so I hope you will."

"I understand, this will be arranged for Zhizhai."

Back in the team, Yi Shang couldn't wait to ask: "Zhizhai, what did the little official say to you? Where are the brothers stationed?"

Lin Yang said simply: "It hasn't been decided yet, we need to discuss it with Sima of the General's Mansion."

Zhang Cai was puzzled: "I still need to discuss with Sima about the station, he has no right to make a decision?"

"It's just a small official. Those who are running around under the account naturally need to ask for instructions."

When Lin Yang said this, everyone stopped talking, and Zhang Cai also shut up, but he put his hand on the Xiuchun knife, as if he was on guard.Lin Yang ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest on the spot. Ten minutes later, the civil servants arranged to arrive, and all the wine and meat were delivered. The soldiers happily ate the wine and meat and waited for the next step.

Zhang Cai didn't eat a bite of the wine and meat that was handed out, and gave it all to the sergeants.He kept his armor on while resting, put the lotus-leaf hood next to his hand, and squinted his eyes while holding the Xiuchun knife.There is wine and meat Lin Yang trusts and drinks some to suppress his alcohol addiction, and then sees Zhang Cai's state, he is startled at first, and after the shock, he understands Zhang Cai's caution, smiles helplessly, and leaves her alone.

Zheng Wei said from the side: "The wine and meat are very delicious, why doesn't the secretary drink?"

Zhang Cai said righteously and awe-inspiringly: "Who can predict the changes in the battlefield when you are out on an expedition? And we reined in and rested, and did not send sentry cavalry. Although we are in the rear, we are extremely safe? How can we drink badly and be defenseless?!"

After hearing this, Zheng Wei sneered and retreated, his hot face sticking to his cold ass.

After 20 minutes, the civil official finally came back, and after telling Jiang Sima's punishment of "not being an example", he arranged the soldiers in Wenquanzhai to rest in the camp.Before leaving, he told Lin Yang that Jiang De wanted to see him, and Lin Yang went to visit him. Jiang De took time out of his busy schedule, and as expected, he only praised and took care of him. After all, Lin Yang's identity is here, and the imperial court Heavy identity.

This is the end of the day, and on the second day, Lin Yang wandered around the camp, first to get to know the relationship between fighting and fighting, and second, to see if he knew himself, so that he could have help during the war.I don't want to really know each other, Xiong'an Zhizhai Lu Ludeng Boyan was transferred here, and he brought 1500 soldiers from the village just like himself, and they obeyed orders.

Talking with Lu Deng, I learned that apart from Lu Deng himself, Lin Yang's other two sworn brothers, Liu Tong, the Zhizhai Zhizhai of Dong'an Village, led 1200 soldiers, and Hao Feng, the Zhizhai Zhizhai of Xingping Village, led 1000 soldiers.Although the difference in numbers is not large, the quality is vastly different. The Xiong'an Village soldiers are not bad, with mixed infantry and cavalry; the Dong'an and Xingping Village soldiers are all infantry, and they are quite passive once a battle starts.

"I really don't know what the general is thinking. He mobilized the soldiers but did not order the grassland army and Shuofang army to join the battle. Relying on these legions and some garrison soldiers alone, the horse army is no more than [-] cavalry. I'm afraid this battle is quite difficult. It's exhausting."

After drinking at night, Xingping Zhizhai Hao Feng was a little drunk.

Lu Deng said indifferently: "It's hard for a bird, it's nothing more than taking back the Siqing village, not crossing the river. If the iron man dares to attack, he will just block it along the river."

Liu Tongdao: "Brother Lu is right. It's just a matter of beating the iron man to the other side of the river. What's so rare? Just wait for all the field armies to arrive, it's not a matter of one effort!"

Lin Yang was surprised after hearing this: "There are still legions yet to arrive?"

Lu Deng said unintentionally: "The victorious army is short, it doesn't matter, there are still 3 days."

After the four of them had finished drinking, Zhang Cai reluctantly looked away from the military map to clean up the wine.

--------------

On March 3, with the arrival of the last victorious army of the field army, the three armies had arrived so far, and the countdown to the battle entered.

"came back?"

"came back."

Zhang Cai took the glazed Wujinhu helmet handed over by Lin Yang, and asked, "The general has held back for so long, have you come up with any strategy for using the army?"

Lin Yang shook his head: "Didn't tell us, just let us stand by, stand by, stand by, and wait for orders."

"By the way, Jiang Sima revealed to me that the general is going to build a complete formation and advance slowly."

"The Formation of Perfection?" Zhang Cai was very confused, "What is this? How can it be a perfect formation? Has that teacher Yu Xiong talked about this kind of formation? Anyway, I haven't heard Teacher Duan talk about it."

"You'll know when the time comes. Don't look at me like that. I'm just here just like you. If you don't know, I don't know either."

Zhang Cai received a suspicious look.

"Oh, by the way, 1500 cavalry from our hot spring village will accompany the general's headquarters to take action!" Lin Yang suddenly recalled and added.

"Oh~~~" Zhang Cai nodded lightly, and walked with the commander, taking care of her again.

Just at this time, a soldier from outside the tent came to report: "Report to Zhizhai! There is a person outside the tent who claims to be a friend of Zhizhai, please meet!"

Lin Yang froze for a moment: "My friend? What's your name?"

The soldier shook his head not knowing, but handed over a name sticker.

Lin Yang took it, and saw the lifelike guardian bird on the skin at a glance, and flipped through it again, and knew who it was.

"Brother Boda, why are you here?!" Lin Yang hurriedly said, "Please!"

The curtain was lifted, and Tan Yang in a blue robe walked in, smiling all over his face, "Yun Ji, are you okay?"

"Why is Boda here?" Lin Yang asked impatiently, "You didn't return to the Imperial Capital?"

Zhang Cai served tea, Tan Yang said hello, took a sip, and said, "Of course I'm going back. If I don't go back, how can I give an order? Wouldn't it be a desertion? It's just that there are too few friends in the imperial capital. Shi Ziyi and the others went back to their homes. Yuan Benchu , Uncle Yang went to another place to practice, and Zhu Ruoban studied hard in the military academy. Li Yuanhong was the only one they could see from time to time. It was too boring, so I didn’t waste my time. I just took a long vacation and came to the border to mix with Liu Yangwei. Experience in the mansion is better than wasting time in the imperial capital."

Suddenly he said to Zhang Cai: "How is it? Are you still used to living in the hot spring village?"

"What's wrong with this?" Zhang Cai casually perfunctory, and then asked: "Boda, you work in Liu Fa's mansion, do you know what Liu Fa's Perfect Formation is?"

"The Formation of Perfection!" Tan Yang groaned, and suddenly asked Zhang Cai, "What do you think?"

Zhang Caidao: "I can't figure out the perfect formation, but if I lead troops, I will have a perfect strategy. The initiative is in my hands, and I must travel day and night to break through Qinglang Village, Qingtang Village, Qingni Village and Qingwazhai, and then push the line of defense to the river, confront the enemy across the river, and then it depends on the reality. But I guess the iron man has already taken action by then, so he will see the tricks, if he crosses the river, he will attack halfway. He does not cross the river, but digests the land he has obtained."

Then Zhang Cai added another sentence: "The soldiers of the empire fought a defensive battle across the river from the Iron Man, so we can't end up with a disastrous defeat and corpses everywhere!"

Lin Yang coughed lightly: "The battle is imminent, don't say unlucky words!"

"Well, what Yun Ji said is, don't say anything unlucky. But Zhang Cai, you are so conservative in your military deployment this time, it is indeed a perfect strategy. Is it because you are in command of the infantry, and you are not as bold as Yinshan, beheading tens of thousands of people. "Tan Yang commented.

Zhang Cai didn't answer: "What does he think?"

Lin Yang's face was also full of curiosity, Tan Yang looked around, and then went outside to check, and after confirming that there was no one else, he whispered: "These are military secrets, don't spread them to the outside world!"

"Prior to this, several members of the Yangwei General's Mansion who joined the army made many plans, and I won't talk about the worst of them. Anyway, Liu Yangwei's plan now is to ensure that the four villages are won first, and he is doing the destination! That is Said, as long as the four villages are not captured, Liu Yangwei will not take a step north!"

Tan Yang finished speaking quickly and quietly.

After Lin Yang finished listening, he said very sensitively: "Listen to what Boda said, does the general intend to go north and cross the river to attack the enemy?"

Zhang Caixiu frowned, and immediately said angrily: "If this is the case, our army will be defeated if we cross the river for 30 miles! It will still be a disastrous defeat!"

"Zhang Cai?"

"Let her speak!"

Tan Yang gently pressed Lin Yang.

Zhang Cai said: "Based on my understanding of Iron Man, its military system is to entrust the princes with soldiers and people at the same time. The advantage is that all the people are soldiers and increase mobility, but the shortcoming is that the time for mobilization and assembly will be longer, unless it is directly under the army. But right now. What is our army doing? The massive mobilization has given Iron Man enough time to prepare. Once the river is crossed, the prairie will be safe. Under the attack of the enemy cavalry, and the harassment of the enemy cavalry day and night, I don't need to say what the end will be. "

After a pause, he said again: "This time the general wants to take advantage of the iron man's main force to go west and go north to take advantage of it, so he shouldn't make a big move. He should send a small group of frontier soldiers to attack, and the scale should not exceed [-] people. He will fight slowly and quickly to regain the army stronghold." .”

"In the same way, even if you want to cross the river, you should send some troops to cross first, build a solid bridgehead, and then make a big mobilization to cross the river to the north. Not only is it safer, but it can also save a lot of food."

"In this battle, the general made a big mobilization, and even the soldiers of the villages were assembled. Once there is a loss, many military villages will lose enough defensive forces, and the defense of the villages will be greatly reduced, which will be taken advantage of by the iron man cavalry."

Finally, Zhang Cai made a point: "Liu Fa was promoted through qualifications!"

Tan Yang said lightly: "Heroes see the same thing, and I think so too!"

Tan Yang sighed: "I hope Liu Yangwei is still awake, stop at Siqingzhai and don't cross the river."

After Zhang Cai heard this, he sniffed: "The mobilization is so strong, does the General and his family use a hemp saber every time they eat chicken?"

Tan Yang is silent
