I’m The King

Chapter 566: : Predecessor

Just after a spring news, the water level of the Liaohe River suddenly rose by more than one meter. The Liaohe River, which looked gentle and gentle in the past, suddenly became hideous. The river water rolled down with a lot of sand and was clear. The river water became extremely turbid. Xu Yuan was standing on the bank of the rumbling Liaohe River, looking at the long river that traverses the earth, suddenly his mood became agitated, just like the magnificent, billowing long river.

Five years ago, he was a little-known county lieutenant in Liyang County. He was not liked by the county guards. He was largely excluded from the local government. During the Yanzhao battle, he was pushed out as a substitute for dead ghosts. Yang, he even had the idea of ​​concealing his surname when he was a deserter, but fate is really a trick for people. This seemingly lifeless journey allowed him to embark on a completely different life from then on.

Now I am the commander of the First Army of the Northern Field Army of the Zhengdong Dudu Mansion. The former Liyang County Lieutenant is now a senior general in the Zhengdu Mansion. I dare not say that he is famous in the world, but in Yan Kingdom, It was definitely a person with a name, and what made him even more emotional was that the journey of conquering the East Mansion had just begun.

Western Liaoning, rivers, grasslands, such a vast land, almost equivalent to another Yan country, and now, the army is divided into two groups, and they are advancing towards the vast area of ​​Liaodong controlled by Donghu, waiting to win Donghu and conquer Donghu. The strength of the government will completely surpass Yan Guo.

Like Meng Chong, Xu Yuan is both literate and hyphenated. Although he is not as knowledgeable as Meng Chong, Xu Yuan can even proudly call himself a Confucian general compared with ordinary generals.

After reading a book, the knowledge is naturally different. The promulgation of a series of policies in the Zhengdong Mansion allowed him to see the ambition of the leader, and he seemed to see another Qin country, which was growing vigorously.

Most of the policies of the Zhengdong Mansion seem to be no different from those of the Qin State, but when examined in detail, they are quite different. Xu Yuan even moved his mind to study it carefully. Of course, not at this time, now he, first of all, has to make all the preliminary preparations before the arrival of the commander of the group army Sun Xiao.

Commander! Thinking of this official position, Xu Yuan was a little funny. The leader's mind was filled with countless fantastic ideas, which made it difficult for him to digest for a while, but it didn't matter. I only need to do my job well, and the military system that the leader came up with has indeed made the command of the upper and lower levels easier and more transparent.

However, according to the size of an army envisioned by the leader, the current self can only be regarded as a short-headed army commander. The number of an army can reach more than 30,000 people, but now, the forwards he brings are full of calculations. Even the head soldiers counted, there were no more than 3,000, which was more than ten times worse.

Whenever he thinks that he might command an army of thirty thousand, Xu Yuan is fascinated. But returning from a dream to reality, looking at the three or two prawns and small shrimps under him, he felt that this dream would come true, and I was afraid that it would be a year of the monkey.

As long as you can summon soldiers. I'll make an allowance for you, pay you money, and give you weapons. These are the original words of the leader. Of course, there are also requirements for the recruits, and it is impossible to get a group of farmers casually. This means that the generals under his command can cross the sea with the Eight Immortals and show their magical powers.

Now he has 1,500 elite infantrymen and 1,000 cavalry under his command. The cavalry is basically the Huns, commanded by Gongsunyi and Luo Lei, and 1,500 my infantrymen are divided into two. The battalion, each with 750 soldiers, was headed by Ni Huazong and Tao Jiawang. According to the organization of one battalion, one quarter was missing.

It is obviously unrealistic to wait passively for you to transfer troops to fill the vacancies. The four army groups under the East Mansion, Ye Zhongye Zhen's command, are completely empty shells. Almost all the elite soldiers in the East Mansion have been enriched to the north. Even if recruits are recruited from the Eastern and Eastern Group Army, the Northern Group Army is so far away from the base camp, I’m afraid that for a while, it’s not my turn. The entire Imperial Army is short of major generals. There are 30,000 people together.

"I'll listen to all four of you. We are a corps, but the number of people is not enough for a regiment. I am a sergeant who has a false name, let alone you. If you want to live up to your name, you can be as fast as possible. , Grab territory, grab people, and expand your own army. Gongsunyi, you partner with Ni Huazong, Tao Jiawang, you and Loray partner with each other to form a regiment-level combat unit. I will put it first, and have the right to appoint officers below the division. In the hands of the group army, it is the division commander. You only need to report to the group army, and the capitol will not reject it. So, you all show your magical powers. Whoever expands your army to a regiment while maintaining combat effectiveness, then he is the regiment leader , Expand to a teacher, then he is the teacher."

Tao Jiawang was an old man who followed Xu Yuan from Liyang County and had a close relationship with him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laughed, "Commander, if I get a soldier! Can I be a commander? ?"

Xu Yuan snorted, "If you get a soldier and want to be the commander of the army, I will chop off your head first and **** it."

Several people laughed.

"In a few years, Yan Peng’s Second Army is coming. He is fully staffed with four thousand foot soldiers. The Governor’s Mansion will equip him with another thousand cavalry. The strength is much stronger than ours. You guys, don’t want to be When the Second Army goes down, let’s work harder before they arrive.” Xu Yuan looked at the four generals and pointed to Liaohe: “The Dudu Mansion wants us to use Liaohe as the boundary, so we should be afraid to consolidate this side. Build cities, farm fields, and lay a solid foundation, but we are not forbidden to cross the river. On the other side of the river, not far from us, there are the Xiongnu tribe, the Donghu tribe, and a large number of people. You two camps, with ten For a period of days, one battalion will be garrisoned, and one will attack. Before the Donghu army has arrived, you can fish as much as you can. When the Donghu army arrives, there will be no such good things."

"Understood!" The four of them were very excited. The two groups looked at each other, and both saw the atmosphere of competition in each other's eyes. This is not only a problem of ability, but also a problem of face. No one wants to lose to anyone.

The large camp of Xu Yuan’s First Army was about ten miles away from the Liaohe River. The building of the large camp was based on the method that Sun Xiao built the Niulanshan large camp in the past. First, a large number of trees were cut down and the trees were used as stumps. A wooden stake with a width of about one meter was then nailed to the railing, and then soil, stones, and tamped were poured into it. It became a simple city wall. Although it can’t run horses, the infantry can stand on it and bring a crossbow. , Installed one every tens of meters to form a powerful long-range attack firepower, coupled with the pawn-mounted crossbow, from one mile away, it formed a dense firepower network.

Although it is troublesome to build a camp in this way, it has laid the foundation for building the city in the future. After the large troops come, they only need to widen and reinforce the current city wall, and build a strong stone or blue brick on the outside. City wall.

Xu Yuan arrived here with his army a few years ago. The large camp now built is not large, just suitable for the stationing of more than 3,000 troops. He is greedy and not chaotic. Xu Yuan has to consider the result of a sudden and large-scale attack by the Donghu people. .

Fortunately, the attention of the Donghu people seems to have not been transferred to this place, which made Xu Yuan not be disturbed in the slightest when establishing this large camp, and now, he has begun to establish a second stop for the follow-up troops. .

Sun Xiao's headquarters will not reach such a frontier, but will be set up in Dayan Lake, which is the place that has been selected when it retreats high.

The originally empty bank of the Liao River, because of this large camp, with the presence of thousands of soldiers, it is extremely lively. Although the city wall is simple, in Xu Yuan's view, in the near future, this simple large camp, It will become a strong fortress, and countless soldiers of the Northern Army will depart from here, endlessly driving across the river, across the Hetao Plain, through the mountains, and into the hinterland of Donghu.

The banners were fluttering above the city wall, the weapons were sharp and the soldiers stood upright, Xu Yuan was full of accomplishment.

Outside Daying, trenches were dug up and down. In the eyes of Donghu people, these trenches were irregular. One here and one section seemed to be dug out at will, but in the eyes of people like Xu Yuan , But it is a natural protection, which is naturally not dug out on a whim, but a line of defense specially set up to prevent attacks.

The Huns cavalry in the army are now familiar with these arrangements.They can gallop between these trenches without difficulty, and they can gallop out of the camp to kill the enemy at any time.

After the Huns joined the East Army, the biggest change was that they began to understand countless ways of using terrain and using their infantry cooperation to kill the enemy's vital force as much as possible while minimizing their own casualties.

Naturally, the soil obtained by digging these trenches will not be wasted. Part of it is used to build city walls and part of it is used to build houses. They are to stay forever. The Huns are used to tents, but a large number of Central Plains pawns are more accustomed to thick houses. .

Xu Yuan strode into the most spacious house in the camp. This was his house and the place where the generals were called for discussion. Within ten feet of this house, there were all vacant lots, and there was no building to block it. In sight, one by one guards protected this place extremely tightly, and I was afraid that even a mosquito would not be able to fly in silently.

These soldiers belonged to Xu Yuan's guard battalion.

After walking back to the big case and sitting down, Xu Yuan drew out a map. This is a brand-new map, which is not yet complete. On the side of the Liao River where they are standing, mountains, waters, hills, roads, etc. It's clear, but on the other side of the Liao River, there are only a few shallow strokes, but Xu Yuan knows that with the passage of time, this map will become more and more perfect, because he has sent a dozen outposts. Riding, sneaked into the opposite bank, and began to draw a detailed map of the opposite side.

Know yourself and the enemy, and never end. (To be continued~www.wuxiaspot.com~
