Chapter 14 The Great Army Expedition
Zhang Lang walked out of the hall, and Zhao Xu followed Zhang Lang. At this time, more than a thousand officers and soldiers had begun training on the training ground. They were practicing swordsmanship and archery. The whole military camp was in full swing.
Zhang Lang's heart suddenly moved, and he said to himself: "Look at these soldiers, they are all very strong, far better than the soldiers of my era. We can train them using the training methods of the special forces! Maybe we can train a force that is far ahead of this era."
A powerful brigade is coming!' At this thought, Zhang Lang couldn't help but get excited and immediately turned around and went back to his room.
Zhang Lang had been staying in the military camp to train, and time passed by like water before he knew it. In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of winter.
On this day, it was snowing heavily. Zhang Lang, accompanied by Zhao Xu, stood on a hill next to the military camp and looked at the plain in front of him. Since the snow had been falling non-stop in the past few days, the plain was completely white and devoid of any life.
The heavy snow has completely covered up the original appearance of the earth.
Zhang Lang and Zhao Xu saw several knights coming from the military camp, but only one of them was wearing armor and military uniforms. The others were wearing black cloaks and hoods to protect them from the wind and snow. They were all in casual clothes.
Not long after, those people came to the foot of the mountain on horseback. Zhang Lang and Zhao Xu saw clearly that one of them was Li Feng, who had been separated for several months! Li Feng got off his horse and ran up, shouting: "Brother Zhang.
!Brother Zhang!..."
Zhang Lang and Zhao Xu came forward to greet him. Li Feng rushed to Zhang Lang with an excited look on his face. He cupped his fists and said, "We haven't seen each other for several months, and Brother Zhang is becoming more and more heroic!"
Zhang Lang chuckled, patted Li Feng's slightly bulging belly, and said half-jokingly: "Brother Li, you are getting richer and richer!" Both Li Feng and Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Lang glanced at the entourage following Li Feng and asked with a smile: "Brother Li didn't come here specifically to see me, right?"
Li Feng said: "I'm also here to see Brother Zhang. In addition, I'm also here to convey orders." Then he waved to an attendant behind him. The attendant immediately stepped forward, holding an official briefcase in both hands and presented it to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang took the official document bag, opened it, took out the official document, unfolded it and read it over. He hummed and said, "The emperor plans to use troops against Nanchen in the spring." Zhao Xu heard from the side and couldn't help but get excited and shouted: "Mr.
Okay! Our soldiers have been gathering for several months, and we are just waiting for this day!" It is not an easy task for the army to gather food and prepare food, and it takes a lot of time, especially in ancient times. In fact, as early as Zhang Lang
Before he became General Ying Yanglang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty had already ordered the Yingyang Mansion from all over the country to assemble government troops, and at the same time, they were also intensifying the gathering of grain and grass supplies. It was not until the shocking events a few months later that the Yingyang Mansion in various places dispersed the troops among the people.
The soldiers gathered together to prepare the food and fodder needed for the army to go on the expedition.
Zhao Xu asked Zhang Lang excitedly: "Brother Zhang, are we leaving?"
Zhang Lang nodded and said: "The order above tells us to immediately set off to Chang'an to assemble after receiving the order." The gathering of soldiers in the military mansion is only the first step in assembling the army. The next step is to assemble.
The military and government troops from various places will then assemble at the army assembly area to form an expeditionary army. This process will take a long time. Therefore, although the government army system has obvious advantages, it also has outstanding disadvantages.
Zhang Lang said to Zhao Xu: "Stop training and have a good night's rest today." Zhao Xu agreed and immediately ran to the top of the mountain, picked up the horn, and started blowing.
The plain that was originally completely white, as if there was nothing there, suddenly surged, and then more than a thousand officers and soldiers appeared as if by magic. Li Feng suddenly saw such a scene and couldn't help but be surprised and rubbed his hands.
Eyes, he thought he had seen it wrong. Then he couldn't help but look at Zhang Lang's side face, and a feeling arose in his heart, he just felt that this Brother Zhang was really unpredictable!
Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led more than 1,200 men under his command to the Chang'an camp. At this time, the Yingyang Mansion army near Chang'an had arrived, and the camp was bustling with noise. Over the next ten days,
In the next day, a total of more than 200,000 troops from various military administrations arrived at the camp one after another. Zhang Lang heard that at this moment, another army of the same size was gathering in Luoyang.
After the army was assembled, only one day later, Yang Su took the oath to go to war.
Nearly 300,000 troops lined up in a long dragon formation and left Guanzhong along the official road east. Zhang Lang looked back and forth, but he could not see the end in front of him or the end behind him. The army was like a giant dragon winding in the wind and snow.
There were swords and spears like forests, flags like clouds, and the momentum was extremely mammoth. Zhang Lang had never seen anything like this in his time. Zhang Lang and his army were under Zuo Xiaowei, so they followed Zuo Xiaowei.
The flag of the general marches. General Zuo Xiaowei's name is He Ruobi. He is a feared general in this era. He has been in battle for many years and is invincible with a mace. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he can die in his hands.
How many.
Zhang Lang raised his head and glanced at the gentle general who was riding a horse not far away and leading Zuo Xiaowei's army. Who could have imagined that General Zuo Xiaowei, who was so powerful in the world, could be such a gentle man.
The armies of the Sui Dynasty marched southward despite the wind and snow, but at this moment, there was still a scene of singing and dancing in the Nanchen Imperial Palace. The Nanchen Emperor was drunk and in a daze, hugging his beautiful concubines happily.
Jiao Didi threw herself into his arms, and the overwhelming sound made people couldn't help themselves. The three huge palaces were brightly lit, making the Jiankang night look like day. The sound of silk and bamboo, and the laughter rippled far away, and the entire Jiankang people
Everybody can hear it.
That night, Emperor Nanchen received urgent military information sent by border general Xu Zijian, saying that he had carefully detected that hundreds of thousands of Sui Dynasty troops in the north of the Yangtze River were gathering and would soon invade the south. He asked the emperor to make a decision. However, Emperor Nanchen did not think so.
He thought and said: "The natural chasm of the Yangtze River, the sky is limited to the north and the south, is the real southern invader. There is only one reason to drown in the river, so what is there to fear!" Convict Kong, Shi Wenqing and other sycophants immediately started to flatter themselves, and they all
Emperor Nanchen said that he was like the emperor of Qin and Han Dynasty. If the Sui army came, he would be wiped out in a chat and laugh. Emperor Chen Shubao of Nanchen was so proud that he didn't take the Sui army's crimes to the south to heart. In fact, he didn't believe it in his heart.
The Sui army dared to invade the south. Every day, they were still drunk and dreaming, showing off their majesty on the beautiful bodies of the concubines, and they were so happy that they didn't know what the world was like.
