Chapter 3274 I think it's all right
In the south camp of Pingyang City, the main forces of cavalry and infantry directly under Feiqian set out in sequence.
The cavalry was led by Fei Qian himself, and the infantry was handed over to Xu Chu.
The main cavalry wings are equipped with medium-equipped and light-equipped rangers. Most of these cavalry are not responsible for frontal combat, but are only used to expel the opponent's scouts, and at the same time disrupt the enemy's rear line to facilitate the main legion to fight.
Behind the cavalry are red battle robes, gathering like rivers. The most eye-catching thing in the infantry formation is the heavy artillery. Around the artillery, there are craftsmen who check the ground in front of the road, and then allow subsequent vehicles to pass in sequence.
Fei Qian's troops were not a single cavalry unit, but a compound legion mixed with cavalry, infantry, engineers, etc.
This kind of legion is extremely challenging for the generals' basic skills.
Xu Chu has been with Fei Qian for a long time. This is the first time he has commanded such a large-scale combat force, and it is also the first time he has walked to the front stage. Unlike Xu Chu in history or in the game, Xu Chu has not won the title of "Tiger Idiot" at the moment, because he does not need to play an idiot role by Fei Qian.
The fighter jets among the garbage are still garbage.
The tiger among the idiots is still an idiot.
The name "Tiger Idiot" in history sounds quite awesome, but in fact it is still scolding Xu Chu. After all, too many people wanted Cao Cao to die at that time, and Xu Chu undoubtedly blocked the last line of defense in front of Cao Cao, which naturally attracted people to resentment.
Feiqin's infantry array is not for attack, but for protection, so it is equipped with a large number of large shields.
These shields are placed on vehicles advancing with the infantry array and dragged by horses.
Below Xu Chu, there were also military academists like Xue Ping and Wang Dang running back and forth, responsible for the coordination of each small part. The passing commanders carried high flags and appeared and disappeared in the military formation.
The forward had already started to set off for half an hour, but the back formation had not yet taken a step forward.
Although there is no general numerical measurement, the length of troops of ten thousand people is about ten miles.
Because the length of an ancient army was a variable, it would be affected by a variety of factors, including soldiers' equipment, terrain, marching speed, etc. Even the way of soldiers formation would affect the length of their marching. The vanguard troops had moved forward one after another, built a temporary watchtower on the edge of the official road, and inserted a road marking on the road as a guide.
Fei Qian followed the army and went all the way to the Fen River.
Five new floating bridges were built on the Fen River, connecting the original two bridges, allowing the army to cross the Fen River relatively smoothly and then climb up Emei Ridge.
Zhang Xiu and several guards stood by the Fen River to greet each other. When he saw Fei Qian, he immediately bowed and bowed.
Fei Qian signaled Xu Zhu to command himself, then jumped off the horse and walked to the side of the road with Zhang Xiu, "Have the main force of Cao's army passed Anyi?"
"The last scout detection, the main force of Cao's army was moving forward, but because Anyi City was surrounded, there was no way to get the exact information." Zhang Xiu replied, "But according to the banner, the Cao general's flag had reached the bottom of the slope. Xun Changshi believed that the Cao army under the slope might be bait, and he had already brought some of his troops to test it."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "It is indeed very likely that it is bait. What's the situation with Wenxi?"
"The day before yesterday, the scout sent a message saying that a unit of Cao's army had passed Gushan and carried a large number of people. They should be the people of Yuncheng, Hedong... moving towards Wenxi. The banner of the main general is "Ro", not Cao or Xiahou." Zhang Xiu reported.
"Lu?" Fei Qian repeated it and asked Zhang Xiu, "How do you deal with this Cao army's partial army? How should you deal with the people carried by the Cao army?"
Fei Qian was preparing to send Zhang Xiu to fight Wenxi.
Zhang Xiu laughed and was about to show his passion, but when he saw that Fei Qian's expression was a little wrong, he suddenly felt a sudden heart, "Ah, this...
Fei Qian said: "Then do you know why Xun Changshi led his team to test the Cao army camp at the foot of the slope, not you?"
Zhang Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and these things seemed a little different from what he had originally thought. He looked along Fei Qian's gaze and saw heavy objects such as artillery crossing the river on the Fen River.
Unlike the floating bridges where ordinary soldiers walked, artillery and supplies vans walked on the stone bridge originally built on the Fen River. Although they had to go further, it was obvious that no one would let artillery and other objects go to the floating bridges...
Why?
"Ah!" Zhang Xiu lowered his head and bowed, "I understand."
Fei Qian nodded, "Tell me and see."
『Due to time, place, person, and object." Zhang Xiu said, 『There was actually said in the martial arts hall...』
Fei Qian looked at Zhang Xiu, "It's not bad, but it depends on how you do it. Not only does it look at Cao's soldiers, but also on Cao's people. If this battle is fought well, you will be asked to go to the Northern Territory. If it doesn't work, you will have to be tempered for several years..."
"Go!" Fei Qian waved his hand.
Zhang Xiu ticked the ground on one knee and bowed, "Abide by the lord's order!"
Immediately, Zhang Xiu stood up, whistled, and led his own guards to the east.
...
...
Just as Fei Qian led the brigade to Emei Ridge, in Jizhou, a flag of Cao's generals fluttered high in the wind.
Under the flag was a majestic team of soldiers. All the soldiers in the queue were wearing armor and neatly dressed. You could tell at a glance that they must be elite soldiers of the Cao family.
Cao Ying walked in the queue with a calm face, and from time to time he would squint his eyes at Wei Yan who was following him.
These soldiers and horses, under the banner of the Cao army and wearing armor, were no different from those of the Cao army, were naturally Wei Yan and his party.
After creeping into Jizhou, Wei Yan seemed to have returned to his hometown.
By the way, Wei Yan is from Nanyang himself, so when he speaks the fluent Yuzhou dialect, no one would think he is a "Shanxi native".
Gao Rou walked in front of the queue with some embarrassment.
After Gao Rou took Wei Yan to trick Cao Ying, Wei Yan immediately abandoned Gao Rou like a waste and even sent Gao Rou as a errand to deal with the Cao army team he encountered.
Gao Rou didn't dare to run away or do any other small moves.
After all, the injury on his leg has not healed yet. He can ride on the horse and pretend to be like he really wants to run...
Of course, the key is not injury, but Wei Yan said that if Gao Rou did something 'irrational', he would abolish Cao Ying, but he would also guarantee that Cao Ying would definitely be treated by Cao's army.
This is troublesome.
Gao Rou absolutely believes that Cao Ying is not a loyal and honest person, nor is he a broad-minded person. Cao Ying dared not hold a grudge against Wei Yan, but he will definitely remember the hatred on Gao Rou!
I can't say I'm holding a grudge now...
When Gao Rou thought of the consequence, she was so honest that she was even regretful that she did not fight with Wei Yan at that time, but betrayed Cao Ying in fear of death? Who knows why she lost the courage at that time? Before she met Wei Yan, Gao Rou thought that she should be a tough guy with a strong backbone.
Alas, it’s really like that if you make a mistake!
Moreover, Gao Rou's miscellaneous soldiers are now imprisoned in the prison in Liyang County.
Of course, the order was issued by Cao Ying...
Some civil servants in Liyang City thought they had a conflict with Gao Rou and Cao Ying.
Anyway, it’s very wonderful here in Shandong.
No official would ask more why, nor would any official report anything beyond the level, because this is very taboo in Shandong officialdom.
Anyway, since Cao Ying issued the order, they are executing it.
What you can't figure it out is also execution.
Cao Ying's current situation is also very troublesome.
He imprisoned Gao Rou's soldiers and was likely considered Wei Yan's accomplice.
Because no officials in Liyang knew what was going on. They just followed Cao Ying's orders and were doing things. If they showed up, Cao Ying would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had two mouths.
So, until Cao Ying and Gao Rou really came up with something to completely solve the problem of Wei Yan, they did not dare to move around.
But Wei Yan is still trying to make trouble.
Even in Jizhou, there are more and more troubles, and they are getting worse and worse.
Due to the drought, everything in Jizhou has undergone many changes.
Nowadays, the main focus of local gentry is on the fields, and no one is interested in cooperating with Cao Pi and Chen Qun to care about the cavalry and horses that are wandering everywhere. As long as Wei Yan does not cause trouble for them, they don’t want to pay attention to anything other than the fields.
The afterglow of dusk shines on the earth.
The flying dust seemed to be smiling in the air.
The once fertile land is now cracked into countless tiny pieces, dry and powerless.
The rain has not been rained for several days, causing this land where China has nurtured countless creatures to lose its vitality as it used to be.
The crops in the fields lowered their heads, and their shriveled bodies seemed to silently tell the hardships of life.
It is obvious that due to the drought, the groundwater level is also falling, causing some well water to dry up.
The farmer had to go further to find water. The water in the canal gradually became turbid, and the amount of water was significantly reduced.
Every time you get water, it is like a farmer engaging in an arduous game with nature.
The pedestrians on the road were also dejected, as if they were aware of their upcoming fate.
In the face of such a disaster, the organizational ability of the government is naturally the most important.
But unfortunately, Wei Yan never saw any officials organizing self-rescue activities along the way.
This may be the tradition of Shandong. The disaster relief officials in the court always seem to be late. Even if they come, the food and water they bring are just droppings of water. The villagers are waiting in despair, hoping that a rain of rain will come and rescue them in dire straits. Anyway, only when the worst situation occurs, the people are about to come, or have rebelled, will someone exclaim, "Save them!"
It was like these people just got up after learning a foreign language and suddenly realized that the tuition fee was not enough.
Under such circumstances, death became the norm, and people leave the world every day due to hunger and disease.
The grief of the living and the silence of the dead are intertwined, forming a tragic picture.
But the classic scene seems to like to appear repeatedly.
Wei Yan could still see the children of the gentry who were dressed in bright clothes and horses, standing with eagles and dogs, and were outing and enjoying the scenery and singing in the wind.
To be continued...
