Chapter 369
The 30,000-person team is of course not small. Walking on winding mountain roads, it looks like a long chain of locks on the peaks from a distance.
Perhaps because they had not yet walked out of the 100,000 mountains, the soldiers are now chatting quietly, and most of the topics are about the frontlines, glory, barbarians, etc.... When they gather together, they are humming. Such behavior will naturally damage the military's power, but the officers of the army are as if they were ordered, and no one came out to scold and stop them.
Just like what Frey is saying now, of course he wouldn't have been to the front line alone, so not long after, news about the fierceness of the barbarians spread in the team.
And this is exactly the intention of the senior military officers. Although the gray-clothed army has fought for many years, and some veterans have even stayed in the army for more than ten years, they are all Bran soldiers and have no experience in fighting with the Northern Wilderness barbarians. The Northern barbarians are naturally different from the Bran second-rate soldiers, so it is necessary to let the soldiers know the true face of the barbarians.
Of course, word of mouth is inevitable to be biased, and the top leaders of the army naturally respond to this. The distance here is still far from the front line, and they have time to slowly pass on the information of the sorted barbarians to the soldiers. As for now, just treat it as a prelude to...
"This... Brother Frey, as you say, wouldn't we have no chance of winning this time when we go to the front line?" David scratched his hair, his face full of depression.
After Frey told the terror of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians and various elite troops, Tang En and the others were very shocked. To be honest, although they had never looked down on the Northern Wilderness Barbarians and knew that Bran’s neighbor was not a good person, it was also a fact that after so many years, the Northern Wilderness still failed to break through the Bran front. This inevitably made people feel that the Northern Wilderness Barbarians were not that big. But now Frey told them with facts that the barbarians were actually not that simple...
"Of course not!" Shaking his head, Frey waved his hand and explained, "The barbarians have the advantages of barbarians. We naturally have our strengths. The barbarians have strong bodies and developed limbs, which has an absolute advantage in melee combat. But we have a clever hands and intelligent brains, so we have alchemy, and there are Thor's hammers, large continuous city guard crossbows, etc."
He paused, "A ordinary barbarian can suppress and attack three Bran regular soldiers, and a Thor's hammer can kill nearly a hundred barbarians with one attack when defending the city. As long as he is good at using military equipment, the barbarians are not that scary."
"Oh..." David breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't think he could not beat the barbarians, it would be better to have an easy way to deal with it.
Tang En didn't relax so quickly, and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Frey, what you said just now is defending the city, what if you bump into it in the wild?"
"In the wild... unless you drag the Thor's hammer with you, it will only be a hard fight." Frey shook his head, "I was still in the army. In fact, the Bran army really defeated the barbarians in the open wilderness. One or two barbarians may not be a big deal, but when thousands of barbarians gathered into a square formation and formed a collective charge on the plain, that momentum... Well, it's really like the collapse of the world. Those who have not experienced it personally will never understand the horror!"
"In fact, after so many years of fighting with the Northern Wilderness, the final result is that the barbarians can never grab anything again and get no advantage, and they retreat by themselves. It is not a lie to fool the people. What's even more atrocities is that if the barbarians retreat, you can't chase them, or you dare not chase them. The terrain outside the border is mostly flat grassland, and fighting with the barbarians there will undoubtedly suffer a great loss. Well, there is another saying here. Marshal Ziyi is known as a military god among the people, but in the army, few people call it that because they think Ziyi has never really attacked the Northern Wilderness, so he is not worthy of this title... Tsk tsk, even Marshal Ziyi is afraid of this, so no one dares to go out and seek death."
Tang En grinned as if he had a toothache when he heard this, because he thought of a possibility and asked Frey: "Well, we can be considered new recruits and have no experience in fighting against the barbarians. He should have been sent to defend the city, right?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's unlikely..." Frey looked at Tang En, and a few bitterness appeared on his lips: "To be honest, this is also a problem I'm worried about. I also got some information from the front line, and it's very chaotic now. In addition to the defense zone of the Zichen Legion, Thunder and Cangyan Legion's border line have been in name only, and now it has retreated to the defensive depth of the second and third lines. In other words, about a few hundred kilometers of the front line are unruly zones."
Speaking of this, Frey turned his head and looked around the soldiers around him, "This time we have 30,000 people going to the front line, of which the food and grass are provided by Bran, and the equipment is provided by Bran. Haha, after taking so many things, will they let us go easily? We will probably be put into these unruly places hundreds of kilometers to face the barbarians in the wild. Well, in other words, we may be used as cannon fodder."
"wipe!"
The conflict between the Gray Clothes Army and the Bran army has been around for a long time. Many people have died on both sides over the years. This is not a problem that can be solved by just a single agreement. Now the Gray Clothes Army is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Bran army, and it is almost certain that it is worn to be worn.
"But Brother Tangen, don't be too anxious." Frey comforted, "After all, we are friendly troops here to support, and they shouldn't dare to do too much. Moreover, we also have a special liaison officer responsible for mediating the affairs of both sides. Well, we should be able to curb some problems." The reason is good, and the same is true for the words, but the two rather unconfident "should" in it still express that Frey is not optimistic about the prospects.
"They dare! If they dare to provoke me, I won't beat him to death!" After waving his fist, a slight sound of breaking through the air came out. David was not like Frey. He and the Gray-Clothed Army had been with him for several years, so naturally he had no good feelings for the Bran Army.
"It's all me! It's fine if you don't come and provoke me. If you dare to play with me, I won't mind touching him in the middle of the night and taking away his dog's head..."
...
Looking at David and others who suddenly became excited, Frey and Tyton looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was quite tricky, I just hope it wouldn't happen then.
In the next few days, I was still rushing. However, an officer-level person was recruited to attend a meeting, but Tang En went there. It was not the old Marshal Oumeng who presided over the meeting. He was now in charge of the rear. This time, Daniel, the commander of the original First Army.
The military meeting was quite a military style. The brief answer was straightforward. There were two main things. One was that each person sent a stack of information about the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness and asked them to take them back to tell the soldiers. As for the second thing, it was a mandatory rule that all soldiers of the Gray-Clothed Army were not allowed to conflict with the Bran soldiers. If there were any conflicts or provocations, they would directly contact the liaison officer to communicate.
Judging from the regulations specifically listed, Daniel and others also know the hidden dangers and difficulties of this matter. Everyone knows that no matter where the soldier is, there will never be a lack of hot temper. Therefore, although punishment measures have been issued, it is really hard to say what the result is...
...
...
Late at night on the fifth night after the 30,000 troops left Shuguang City, a short body carrying a huge bag slid down quickly on the outer wall of the East City Gate. I have to say that the time she chose was very good. Just as she was resting on the ground, the patrol soldiers who had just changed the guard of the city wall slowly walked past above.
"Hehe, Brother Tang En, I'm going to find you... Oh, it won't work for the time being. Brother Feirui said that only Sister Joshia knows Brother Tang En's whereabouts. Yes, go find Sister Joshia... Mountain Creek City... east..."
While muttering, the short figure left the city wall. About half an hour later, she touched a hill with a leeward neighing, and then a horse neighed and ran alone towards the east.
"Captain, Captain Harry... The target ran away." A sound suddenly sounded at the top of the hill.
"Ah... I ran away, who ran away?" A slightly fat figure stood up first, opened his mouth and yawned, looking quite lazy, but then after seeing the blurry short cavalry in the distance, his body was shocked: "Ah, I finally escaped! I deserve to be the eldest sister, so I am so patient! Well, I am a little lacking in common sense. I hide the horse here and ask me to feed it for a few more days... Tsk tsk, it's indeed this road. I really have to thank Fei Rui!"
"Uh, Boss Harry, do you know her goal?"
"As long as you don't go to the front line, it's fine... Well, it's okay to go out and relax. Let's go. Our mission this time is to play with the princess!"
"yes."
