Chapter 710 IX Frontier War

The more than 300 cavalrymen I saw this morning, together with the more than 30 people who were killed last night, all came from a certain county in the west of Yue State.An army is formed in a hurry, good and bad are mixed, and soldiers are good and bad.Because of the looting, more than 30 bad guys were killed by him. The other soldiers did not have much bad deeds. Arrogance and domineering are inevitable, but the crime does not lead to death.It's just because the general was greedy and issued a wrong order, adding a hundred dead souls in vain. It was a bit embarrassing to say it, so Zhang feared that it would be easy for the remaining cavalry to let them go back.

This time it is a nationwide 'sentence' deployment of troops, with the number reaching 160 million.The northern soldiers joined forces in the capital and set off to the south in batches and by road.The southern soldiers gathered nearby for rectification and drove to the front line.

As for where the front line is, why the troops are being transferred, and what is the difficulty of going to Jing, the answer is simple, Wu Guobing is here.

The terrain of the mainland is very irregular. Yue State borders Qi State in the south, and Wu State and the sea lie in the south of Qi State.

To put it simply, the southeast of the mainland looks like a slash, below the slash is the sea, and the slash is occupied by many countries, and the country that occupies the most is Wu.

The coastline of Wu State is the longest. The whole State of Wu seems to have a crescent crescent sticking to the seaside. On one side is the sea, and on the other side is the Death Mountain, one of the two strange places in the mainland. The sea and the mountains form a long and narrow Wu State. The roads lead to Qi and Yue respectively.

The junction of the Wu and Yue countries is a pass, and a five-mile-long and five-mile-wide channel is split off the coast of the Death Mountain.

The country of Wu is the country with the most wars and "chaos" in the mainland. The "chaos" has continued for many years. It is divided into thirteen forces. They all use Wu as the name of the country. Bordering Yue State is Bai Wu.

The country of Wu was in chaos all the year round, and the cultivators also fought in chaos. As the thirteen major forces gradually unified the regions, the cultivators also formed thirteen major sects of cultivation, and each sect of comprehension was the pillar of a country.The national pillar of Bai Wu is the White Lotus Sword Sect, outsiders are used to calling it the White Wu Sword Sect.

The State of Yue borders many countries, but the only ones that are constantly fighting are the barbarians in the north and Bai Wu in the south.The brutality of the north and the state of Song are great enemies, and correspondingly, they rarely send troops to the state of Yue. Later, the monsters caused chaos, and the war was stopped directly.In the hundreds of years since then, the frontier defense of the entire Yue State has been Bai Wu.There were never less than 60 troops stationed on the border.

Just to guard a mountain road five miles long and five miles wide, 60 troops are required to be stationed, which shows how fierce the Baiwu army is.

In the Thirteenth Wu in the south, men began to receive combat readiness training from childhood. After going through wars as adults, those who survived were all elite soldiers. The whole country had such soldiers, and soldiers from the Yue Kingdom could not compete with them at all.

The court of the Yue Kingdom understood clearly that if they could not defeat them, they would use their lives to fill the gap, and they would use soldiers several times the size of the Bai Wu army to guard the pass.Unexpectedly, Bai Wu didn't think much of the Yue country at all, he just took the soldiers of the Yue country to train his troops, and sent some recruits here to hone them, trained them into strong soldiers and brought them back to fight against the fierce Wu, Jin and Wu in the west.This situation has existed for a long time, until this year, the western Lie Wu, Jin and Wu allied forces attacked, defeated Bai Wu, fought seventy battles in a row, broke seventy cities in a row, and reduced Bai Wu's territory by one third.

The people of Wu fought fiercely and were not afraid of death. Soldiers fought against soldiers, practitioners fought against practitioners, and lost [-] consecutive battles. The Bailian Sword Sect and Bai Wu suffered a huge blow. In the end, they had to invite two swordsmanship masters from the Bailian Sword Sect. Thanks to the hard work of these two masters, they finally stopped Bai Wu's defeat.Re-formed a stalemate with Lie Wu and Jin Wu.

With the soldiers of Bai Wu, it is impossible to defeat the coalition forces of the two countries and regain the lost ground in a short period of time.But if the lost land is not regained, the fortunes of the country will be worsened, and the number of soldiers will be reduced a lot. Then some ministers proposed to attack the Yue State, occupy its territory, recruit its elite soldiers, and develop and grow as soon as possible. The army, and then gather the elite Baiwu soldiers to attack, and regain a piece of lost ground if possible.

The king adopted this suggestion and expanded the war between Yue and Wu.There were several wars since then, with heavy casualties on both sides.Bai Wu saw it, this is not good, isn't this a fight on both sides, and damage on both sides?Invite the sword cultivators of the White Lotus Sword Sect and ask them to help defeat the enemy.

The monks of the White Lotus Sword Sect have the pride of cultivators, and they don't want to bully ordinary people. They sent a dozen people at random, thinking that they would retreat if they encountered cultivators from the Yue Kingdom.However, the Demon Sect in the south of the Yue Kingdom could not hide, and the small sects did not dare to contend with it. These dozen or so low-level sword cultivators became the supreme existence at the border, and by the way, the outcome of the Yuewu War was decided.

In addition to death in battle and fleeing, the captured soldiers of Yue State reached as many as 40.As a result, the whole court was shaken, so the Jingnan Army was established, and the Dai Viet Dynasty tried their best to gather 160 million troops, and they also wanted to recapture the prisoners and recapture the pass.

It's just that I didn't expect that there were too many soldiers, and there were also many bandit soldiers. The road was very disturbing, and Zhang feared that he happened to meet along the way.So go to the barracks and see if there are other bastards doing the same thing.In addition, he also has to go to the pass.

Bai Wu Xingbing, the unlucky ones are the people of Yue.Of course Zhang Fear couldn't stand it, he would personally rescue three thousand lost children, not to mention the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how could he ignore it?The Buddha asked, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?Answer, Zhang is afraid of going to hell, he has the courage to go to hell.

There were 81 horses in their party. Counting Zhang Pai, they were divided into 65 horses, and there were [-] horses left. Except for one pretending to pull a small carriage, the rest automatically followed without reins or control. behind the car.

Who wouldn't be envious of this line of team?Even if you don't know horses anymore, you will give a thumbs up when you see such a brave dragon.It's a pity that the knights on the horse are all children, which makes people sigh again and again.

When they left the city gate, the common people and the guarding soldiers were very jealous. When they reached the military camp fifteen miles away, they were surrounded by knights frantically.

Those who blocked them were not ordinary soldiers, they were all officers, one at first, and then two, and gradually more and more gathered, and Zhang was afraid of buying horses by force.See what that means, Zhang is afraid that if they don't sell it, they will grab it.

Afraid of ignoring them, Zhang took a look into the big camp. The soldiers were either lining up or packing up the tents, ready to leave the camp and go south.There are more than 6000 people in total. Because the army has not been united for a long time, the general order cannot be carried out smoothly, and things are not unified, which shows the strength of the battle.

This place is located in the Ning River basin. Zhang feared that he still remembered that when he left the Yuewu Pass, he went west and arrived at the Ning River two days later. Not long after going down the Ning River, he entered the sea, and going upstream along the Ning River was the city.

Think about it for a while while riding a horse. Seeing that the camp is moving slowly, the situation in the south should not be too tense.

He didn't speak, an officer got angry, stretched out his hand to grab him, and shouted: "Sell the horse!"

Afraid that Zhang would not speak, the dragon horse under his seat raised its hooves and kicked the man in the chest, but he didn't use much force. He only touched it lightly, and the officer flew three meters upside down and fell to the ground.

This kick made all the officers angry, and some of them wanted to chop with knives.Zhang was afraid to give them a blank look, and said in a low voice: "Get out of here." In a tent that was about to be put away, there was a wooden frame on which was hung the general whom he had seen this morning. It's flogging marks.But did not see the soldiers punished.

He scolded the officer, and the officer was of course angry. Someone wanted to raise a knife to kill someone at that time.At this time, a small school ran out of the barracks, held the command flag and shouted: "General's order, order all generals to go back to the camp and take care of their own soldiers, and leave the camp before the time comes." .

Zhang Ai sounded very curious. He grew up so big, and it was the first time he heard about the army marching in the afternoon. This general was a little interesting.

After all the officers had left, the small school said again: "According to the general's order, civilian horses are recruited into the army. Please leave your name and place of origin, sir. After reporting to the Ming court, the government will buy these horses with funds, and the money will be sent to your door at that time."

Zhang was afraid of being happy, but the general was still ruthless, so the white wolf forced all the horses to stay empty-handed.His subordinates wanted to spend some money for fun anyway, the old guy not only gave out money, but also put on the hat of the imperial court to suppress me, damn it.He came to the camp to see if there were any poor people like the four women in the morning.Unexpectedly, I didn't see the poor people, but attracted a group of greedy people, alas, these are soldiers, these are the soldiers of the common people today.

In the past few years when the Ninghe River was flooded, he killed many corrupt officials, and now the sergeants use force, what is the emperor of Dai Viet doing all day long?Can't manage your subordinates?Sighing and shaking his head, he waved his hand, and the horse team set off, moving slowly along the way.

The small school saw that Zhang was afraid to ignore him, and regarded the military order as nothing, so he hurriedly shouted: "Disobeying the military order in wartime is the crime of treason, come and stop them." Hula ran out of a hundred healthy soldiers, each holding a knife and gun across the road ahead.

Afraid that he didn't want to get angry with these bandits, he raised his finger to the general who was hanging on a wooden frame in the barracks and said, "Go and ask him why he was whipped."

Xiaoxiao's complexion changed slightly when he heard it. Others couldn't understand what the words meant, but he understood them very well.In the early morning, the general led 300 people out of the camp to search for escaped soldiers, and brought 200 people back in the morning, saying that the rest of the soldiers were dead.The general was furious, because he feared that beheading the general before the battle would be disadvantageous in the war, so he spared his life, but he was ordered to be whipped for ten days, and he was not killed, but he was made to suffer every day.

This order was passed down by Xiaoxiao. Hearing what Zhang Fear said, Xiaoxiao wondered, could it be that he killed more than a hundred soldiers?

He was just sending an order, knowing that the general's subordinates were killed, but he didn't know the details, otherwise there would be no doubt that Zhang Ai did it, with a bunch of children and a bunch of horses around him, how could such obvious signs be mistaken?

The general knew about these things, and he also knew that Zhang was afraid to come outside the camp with a group of children, but he didn't believe what the general said, that a young man could kill a hundred soldiers in an instant, so he sent people out to snatch horses and kill people along the way.

There were sergeants blocking the way, all of them with fierce faces and murderous looks on their faces, which scared dozens of children. You are afraid, remember, nothing is scary!" The children looked at him in bewilderment, the people in front of him all took knives, isn't it scary?
