I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 245
More than [-] pacers set off from Chengdu and went straight to Songzhou, the gateway of Xichuan.

There has been peace in central Sichuan for a long time, especially in the Yizhou Plain, which is the core area, and there has been no war for a hundred years.

After the Red Lotus Army entered Shu, although they coveted Chengdu, they only wandered in the border area between Sichuan and Chu, looting everywhere, accumulating strength, and did not have the confidence and ability to attack Chengdu.

Therefore, people in Yizhou, Mianzhou, Shuzhou and other places saw such a large-scale army marching for the first time in their lives.

On the field, the officers and soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty marched forward.

The army of more than [-] people belonged to the Gui Zheng Army, the Ping Japanese Army, and the Shence Army respectively.

Among them, the Reformed Army has 6000 people, all infantry.It has [-] mules and horses to transport armaments, supplies, and grain.Hundreds of chariots.

There are 1 Japanese troops, all of whom are cavalry, of which there are only four regiments with 500 armored cavalry.

The whole army has [-] army horses, [-] mules and draft horses, and thousands of people attached to the luggage team.

There are 1 people in the Shence Army, one of which is the Cavalry Army with 500 people, and the other four are the Infantry Army with 500 people.

Five thousand horses and two hundred chariots.

In addition, there are civilian husbands and garrison troops temporarily recruited to assist the army in transporting luggage and food.

However, because in the domain, they all know the prefectures and counties in advance, and transport the military rations to the necessary places on the marching route.

At the same time, there are also Yabing soldiers directly under Fu Jinchuan. Except for the [-] Shangjing children, the [-] Yabing soldiers who originally belonged to the governor of Yizhou and controlled by the King of Shu have now become the Yabing soldiers of Fu Jinchuan, the Jiedu envoy.

Although the king of Shu was not good at running the army, Zhao Yuanqi was the leader of the thousand and five hundred soldiers.The eldest son of the Shu king, he is quite knowledgeable about soldiers.

Therefore, the dental soldiers of Yizhou Governor's Mansion were trained by Zhao Yuanqi to some extent, and they had participated in several Pingshanman rebellion battles, but they barely caught Fu Jinchuan's eyes.

The king of Shu also asked him to take care of his eldest son, because Zhao Yuanqi was still appointed by Fu Jinchuan as the leader of this dental army and went out with the army.

The marching sequence followed the order of the Japanese Army, the first six battalions of the Reformed Army, the headquarters of the Jiefu, the supply camp, the last six battalions of the Reformed Army, and the Shence Army.

Counting civilian husbands, auxiliary soldiers, etc., the number of the army exceeded 20. If there were such a large number of soldiers during the melee in the Central Plains, it would be called the "[-] army".

As the saying goes, "If there are more than [-] people, there will be no boundaries."

In this case, simply relying on a person's naked eyes, it is impossible to see the specific number of such an army.

It was like a boundless black wave, rushing towards Songzhou, the junction of Xihai Plateau and Xichuan.

The six banners of Jiedushi are very conspicuous, flying high in the queue.

Under the banner, Fu Jinchuan rode the tall and strong Qinghai Cong, Lei Bo, the envoy of the Guizheng Army, Fu Weichuan and Zhao Yuanqi, the guards, Xu Yinglong, the judge of the Jiefu, Cui Shuji, the chief officer, Zhang Gao, Li Fazhen, and other generals followed is behind

There are eight hundred dental soldiers composed of Shangjing children all around.

According to their grades, many honorable sons were all dressed in red and green round-neck official robes, and the subordinates were all white military robes, and they rode military horses to accompany them.

Fu Jinchuan, on the other hand, was wearing a unicorn military uniform and a soft-winged head.

From the generals to the soldiers, except for some cavalry who acted as front guards and scouts, the army marched in the area without armor.

Whether it is a man or a horse, you can only put on armor before the battle, otherwise, going forward with the armor will consume a lot of energy, and the man and horse will be exhausted before the battle.

"General Lei, come forward and ride with me."

"promise."

Hearing the coach's call, Lei Bo urged his horse forward after responding, half a ride behind Fu Jinchuan.

"What happened after the Guizheng army entered Shu? Are there any unacceptable conditions, are there any diseases in the army? Are there any soldiers who are homesick?"

Fu Jinchuan asked casually.

Lei Bo said: "Returning to Lord Hou, the soldiers of the Guizheng Army came to Shu from Huainan, and the soldiers still had some resistance, but it has calmed down a long time ago. The army is not short of food and salaries, so no one dares to make trouble. All armies strictly follow the marching rules. Besides, the climate in central Sichuan is not much different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are all southerners who are heat-tolerant and have no worries about acclimatization or disease. As for homesickness, it is unavoidable, but the imperial generals have military orders like mountains, so how can they talk about it?"

"Is it possible to fight?"

"Able to fight. Since Lord Hou returned to Beijing, the training of the Guizheng Army has been the same as that of Lord Hou. They practiced twice a day and never stopped. These soldiers have experienced wars and undergone rigorous training. Now they have The true nature of an elite teacher."

Although Lei Bo was born in a wealthy family in Huainan, he has successively commanded the Jingnan Army and the Guizheng Army, and he is considered Fu Jinchuan's trusted general.And he is a general who can stand on his own.

Two years ago, before Honglian's incident, he was just a Sima of a state, commanding only a few hundred soldiers, and the rest were regiments.

The reformed army, which now commands more than [-] people, has already commanded more troops than many governors of the lower and middle mansions.

This kind of promotion speed is certainly blessed by military exploits, but without the influence of Fu Jinchuan, it would be absolutely impossible.

"It's so good, Pang Yun, Jiang Wu and others, can they still be used together?"

"The generals are from the personal guards of the generals, they are well versed in the military system, and they are impeccable in running the army. It's just that the general thinks that they must be better at riding and fighting. When marching, they always feel that the infantry walks too slowly. "

Fu Jinchuan smiled after hearing this: "Hahaha, it's natural. They have been cavalry with me for three years in Hexi, and now they are asked to command the infantry. They can only reluctantly do so. By the way, how about Chen Jiao? "

Chen Jiao, who was originally a general under the King of Wu, was not punished after he surrendered. Instead, he was appointed by the court and is currently serving as Lei Bo's lieutenant in the Guizheng Army.

The deputy general is not a deputy military envoy, but only assists the chief general in handling military affairs, and does not have the right to directly command the army.

"Vice General Chen is experienced in military affairs, and it's a lot easier to have him as the last general."

Fu Jinchuan said: "Let him lead a battalion alone and try it out. A Shulie, Wu Sidu Ji Pu Gu Huai'an, and Pang Yun and Jiang Wu, I have to transfer them out sooner or later. You need to find some Candidates fill their places."

Lei Bo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

This is not the first time this has happened.

When the Guizheng Army was just formed, Fu Jinchuan took away all the officers from the Jingnan Army who were from the Forbidden Army.Later, it was Fu Jinchuan who filled the Jingnan Army with the dental soldiers in Yangzhou, and promoted some of the meritorious officers and men as the backbone of the officers, and then supported the Jingnan Army again.

Not long after the reformed army's training here, they are going to draw people from here again.

Fortunately, what Fu Jinchuan meant was to draw only the commanders of the battalions. In this case, it is only necessary to promote some powerful generals in the army in the next battle to fill these vacancies.

But why did Lord Hou suddenly call out so many generals? Could it be that there are new troops or surrendered troops who need to be trained?

Could it be Qingtang's 10 people?

No way, the battle hasn't even started yet, and the preparations for a rainy day have already been included in this one?
If Fu Jinchuan knew what Lei Bo was thinking, he would only tell him that he was thinking too much.

It's just that Pang Yun, Jiang Wuqu, Twelve, Li Sikou and others, and the three people from the north, all told him that they didn't want to work in Huainan, and that they wanted to go back to Shangjing, or go to the border town.

And when the battle is over, the Reformed Army will split up sooner or later and return to Jianghuai to station in various places. Fu Jinchuan is not going to put all these confidants in Jianghuai.

After all, they are all from the north, and if they want to make contributions, they must go to the four towns in the northwest or Hebei.

If you want to relax, of course you have to go back to Shangjing.

Although Jianghuai is good, there is no place for them to use their skills.
