Chapter 560
It is late at night on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is the third day.
Around the huge fortress of the Lu family in Fanyang, there are dozens of miles of continuous aristocratic coalition camps.
The entire coalition camp has more than 200,000 temporarily armed aristocratic si soldiers. These more than 200,000 soldiers come from thousands of aristocratic tyrants of four counties in northern Hebei near Yuyang, Hebei.[]
There were thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, and the few little landlords had only dozens of people and they also ran over to join the coalition forces. The more than 200,000 coalition forces gathered here were nominally all commanded by Lu Che, the head of the Lu family.
Lu Che proclaimed himself the King of Yan and most of his confidants of the Lu clans were granted the title of Duke and Marquis of the Kingdom to the Lord.
In fact, those who come to vote are also very generous in making wishes for officials, and basically everyone is rewarded.
However, the 200,000 coalition forces were basically a tribal system, and whoever brought the troops would be commanded. Then, more than 200,000 people were divided into the five armies in front, back, left and right, and the five largest clan leaders led the troops, among which Lu Che led the central army composed of the Lu family's children.
In name, the coalition forces had subordinates to each other, but in fact they still had their own jurisdiction. More than 200,000 troops set up camp outside Lujiawu Fort, and they came first and then arrived, and they all liked wherever they were stationed. One part east and one part west, two hundred thousand troops, but the camp was more than twenty miles in a radius.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are tents everywhere.
The camp was just a tent. If it wasn't for snow, they wouldn't even bother to build their tents.
He barely set up a tent. As for the fence, the morgue and the antlers, what is that thing? With more than 200,000 coalition forces here, even if the imperial army comes, one person can drown them.
After eating the lively wine and meat in the evening, more than 200,000 coalition forces returned to their tents and scattered everywhere on the plains. By the third day, most people had already fallen asleep in this cold twelfth lunar month by the time of the third day.
The heavy snow outside was still falling, but the soldiers on duty were more and more at ease. How could the soldiers of the imperial court march overnight with such heavy snow?
I don’t know when, in the snow several miles east of the coalition camp, countless moving white shadows appeared.
With the help of the moonlight, these white shadows kept moving forward and making a slight squeaking sound, and stopped before going two miles of the camp.
Lujiawu Fort is a large castle, which is even stronger and taller than an ordinary county town. They form a dock wall with enclosed houses on all sides and then connect the docks one by one to form layers like Hui, with eight layers of large dock arrays.
In the middle of the dock walled house on each corner, a tall tower was built specifically to look forward to the enemy situation.
The squeaking sounds from time to time in the snow made the captain of the housekeepers on the tower in the east amaze. He looked carefully at the snow in the east. Although there was no moon on the snow, the Lu family had burned a bunch of bonfires in all directions of Lujiabao before dark. The firewood was enough for the bonfires to burn all night, so that they could stand on the tower in the fort and see clearly around the castle.
He and several servants searched carefully for a long time, but under the illumination of the fire, he saw nothing but a vast piece of white snow.
"Zhang Tou, I think it must be the wind and snowy day. There is something to watch immediately. But look at this white piece, how could there be something? Don't look at it, come and have a few more sips. The colder the hell will be. If you don't drink a few sips, you won't be able to change shifts until dawn." Zhang Tou looked carefully and saw nothing, so he turned back and squatted down, leaving most of his body to hide in the low wall of the watchtower.
On the east side of the coalition camp, if you could see the scene here with that head, you would be shocked.
At this time, countless people and horses had gathered here. Whether it was people or war horses, everyone was holding a big white cloak. As long as you were careful, you would be hiding in it. On this vast snowy night, as long as you didn’t see it near, you would not have discovered that such an army had already reached the two places of the coalition camp.
"Master, the brothers from the Pojun camp have arrived, and the five thousand heavy cavalry are waiting for the commander's orders at any time."
In the snow, a young general who was also blatantly blazing a large number of winds came on the snow and stood in front of the Jinwu Guard General Li Benlei.
Li Benlei had agreed with Chen Kefu before that he would withdraw from the front line and not go to the battlefield. He originally wanted to leave some opportunities for his grandchildren. After all, if he led his troops outside, it would be unlikely that his three grandchildren would have too many opportunities. Since then, he has been staying in the capital, although he still holds several important positions.
But he was not actually in charge of the troops. Even the soldiers and horses of the inner army, Jinwu Guard, were only named, and the ones who really commanded the troops were all the generals and commanders.
This time, most of the generals in the court were in Huaibei, Shandong, the battlefields of the north and south and Hedong, either stationed at various key passes and the rear of Liaodong. In a hurry, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the court had to divide troops into multiple troops in a short period of time.
Li Benlei was also invited by Chen Kefu to come out again. The light cavalry rushed to Linyu Pass and mobilized a large army to wipe out the chaotic troops in several counties such as Yuyang. This time, in order to completely wipe out these rebels, he transferred 50,000 troops from Linyu and Liaodong.
Among them, there is the ace troops of the Liaodong Army guarding the Xiongguan in Linyu, the Pojun Camp and the Heavy Cavalry Battalion, the most honorary camp of the Liaodong Army, and a super-organized battalion of 5,000 people.
Now all the generals of the Liaodong Army want to command the ace heavy cavalry unit, led by Zhang He, the veteran general of the Liaodong Army. Zhang He was one of the fifteen Yueqi cavalry captains when Chen Kefu first established the military camp. Later, they were all top officers of the Liaodong Army and were always one of the commanders of the seven main forces.
However, when Chen Kefu was preparing to rebel against the court, he hesitated. Because of this hesitation, he was just a idle general for a long time and lost his original position and honor. It was not until the ambush with Shibi Khan that he used 3,000 light cavalry against Shibi Khan's 70,000 wolf cavalry, but achieved more than 10,000 enemies and had a huge record of minor casualties, and gradually returned to the front line of the Liaodong Army.
Several performances were performed, and Rang Hua was summoned by Chen Kefu not long ago. After reminiscing about the past, this veteran of the Liaodong Army, one year younger than Chen Kefu, was finally reused and served as the general of Linyu Pass, and also served as the commander of the Liaodong Army's Pojun Barracks and the heavy cavalry battalion.
Li Benlei looked at the comrade who fought side by side with him in Liaodong, and was happy for him as he looked at his current love.
"General Zhang, the Lu family Yuyang clan coalition has gathered more than 200,000 people. But you have also seen that they are just a group of birds, even far worse than some peasant armies. But we cannot underestimate the enemy. This time I got a task not only to defeat them, but to completely annihilate the prisoners.
We will never allow any fish that escapes the net to escape to other places to harm Hebei. When I came, I had already photographed the xiongjia in front of the hall to ensure that this time, Your Highness trusted me so much and asked me to be responsible for the rebellion in Yuyang. I feel very honored."
"Similarly, I trust you very much. Now I will give you a task. After launching an attack, I will use your five thousand heavy cavalry as the attack arrow. Before the coalition forces react, they must break through their camp. For a twenty-mile camp, you only need to lead the crowd from east to west to complete the task. What's left is the tasks of our light cavalry and infantrymen. How about it, are there any difficulties?"
Facing Li Benlei, the second-in-commander who had broken into the military camp, Zhang He was not dissatisfied with him.
Raising his fist and hitting it hard a few times on the xiongjiao, Zhang He said firmly, "The last emperor will never lose the honor of the Po Military Camp founded by His Highness, and the last emperor will ensure that the task is completed."
"Okay, go back and let the Pojun Camp re-mounted armor. As long as the armor is ready, start attacking immediately."
"yes"
Zhang He returned to the snow in Pojun Camp and conveyed the latest attack mission to his subordinates, so the generals and the school were all moved.
When the heavy cavalry conquered Liao, they repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and attacked the mountain cavalry of the Liao people many times, making countless contributions to Liaodong. Later, the Liaodong Army was expanded, and the heavy cavalry battalion was split and divided into various troops and formed a battalion of two to three hundred people. The elite heavy cavalry of the Pojun camp only retained about one thousand people. Although it increased later, its combat power decreased.
It was not until Liaodong was stabilized that Chen Pojun once again ordered that the small camp heavy cavalry betting were kept unchanged, and a heavy cavalry with 5,000 people were expanded and formed separately. Moreover, this time the heavy cavalry was awarded the most honorable Pojun camp to the Liaodong Army.
In addition to a thousand elite veterans, the remaining four thousand were also drawn from the entire Liaodong army to form the most elite cavalry. The rebuilt Pojun camp has been training all the time, and the lowest rank of all knights is also the rank of second lieutenant, which is the trump card among all officers.
After the reorganization, they have never been on the battlefield. These elite knights who have been transferred to the Liaodong Army for so long have been unable to hold back. When they hear that they can go to the battlefield, they almost roared.
The auxiliary military camp, Tanlang Camp, came with the Pojun Camp, is an auxiliary army, which specializes in helping transport the armor of the Pojun Camp, as well as to help the soldiers of the Pojun Camp put on armor before the war, and then lowered armor after the war, and even when necessary, they would ride horses to attack with the camp.
This is the only auxiliary camp that has obtained the battalion number in the entire Liaodong Army so far. Although they are auxiliary soldiers, they are not ordinary old or weak. Instead, the same cavalry is even stronger than ordinary light cavalry. These people are named auxiliary soldiers, but they are actually the first alternates of the Chongqi Battalion. Their real identity is the Light Cavalry Greedy Wolf Camp, but these powerful cavalry have always regarded themselves as auxiliary soldiers of the Pojun camp, and they follow each other in order to join the Chongqi Battalion.
The three thousand people's Greedy Wolf Camp immediately removed armor and cavalry equipment from one sled after another, and began to assemble armor for heavy cavalry and war horses in the military camp.
The north wind yelled, and the heavy cavalrymen in the military camp were on armor!!!
