"Damn! This movement is too loud, it looks really scary~"
When I stood on a sentry tower about ten meters high, holding a telescope in my hand, I looked at the endless army of golden soldiers in the camera lens, which seemed to cover the entire world.
Immediately, I took a deep breath in my heart, and at the same time, I instinctively cursed in my mouth.
Later, when he put down the serious telescope that was finally no longer DIYed with bamboo tubes but wrapped with copper pipes, he looked at the New Army soldiers under the sentry tower.
You can clearly see the faces of almost every one of those people immediately.
There was an indescribable look of solemnity and tension, and many people's bodies were even trembling.
There is no way! These soldiers are all rookies who have never seen blood.
Even if each one has gone through a three-month recruitment period and a four-month running-in period, it can be said that they are well-trained in this year.
But they are essentially just rookies. When facing the terrifying Jin army, they are still panicking...
That's right! It's just like what Hu Biao said when he rushed to the street and promised that the Jin army will definitely come.
In the first year of Maode, on the first day of October, the West Route Army, which was considered the absolute main force of the Jin Kingdom's army against the Song Dynasty, finally arrived at the preset battlefield of Zhuxian Town.
To be more specific, in fact, it was September 23, the second day after the new army of the Song Dynasty arrived in Zhuxian Town.
Traces of a small number of Jin Bing's horse-detection troops appeared outside Zhuxian Town.
The number was still small in the first day or two, but after September 25th, the number of such horse exploration troops, including the forwards, exceeded 3,000.
There are only three thousand people, which is not a lot to say the least.
But it was enough to push the Song Dynasty's new army back to the main camp with only a few night cavalry.
From this day on, the new army of the Song Dynasty was squeezed into Zhuxian Town, an area centered on the town; the remaining vast area became a private area where Jin Bing and others could move freely.
Fortunately, thanks to the previous action of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, all the people were moved into Kaifeng City.
By the way, they took away everything they could, such as food. Even the houses that couldn't be taken away were set on fire, and all the wells were blocked.
Or, some livestock carcasses were thrown in, polluting the water source.
In this way, these golden soldiers would have to run a long way to fetch water from the canal, not to mention what supplies they could get. Even if they wanted to drink water.
But even so, this kind of people can only be trapped in the camp.
Watching the Jin men's scouting team swaggering past outside the camp from time to time still made the rookie soldiers of the new army feel a lot of pressure.
But they soon learned that this kind of pressure was just the beginning.
On September 27, the Jin forward troops arrived at Zhuxian Town.
Although it is said to be a forward force, it is still a force of 50,000 people, all composed of cavalry; the strength of this forward force alone is almost comparable to the entire strength of the New Army of the Song Dynasty.
Not to mention these guys, each of them has a good war horse for the Song army.
That kind of rush came at the same time, even though smoke and dust rose into the sky from far away, and the ground shook violently, it made many rookie soldiers turn pale at that time.
The only good thing is that the forward troops of these Jin people sent a small group of troops to provoke outside the camp and did not launch a direct attack.
On September 30th, the Jin's large-scale Chinese army arrived in Zhuxian Town one after another.
Why do we use the adjective "continuously"? It's because there are too many central troops in the Jin army.
As the old saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, it is boundless, and the black army of golden soldiers is arriving one after another, seemingly endless in number.
Counting the civilians who were captured and forcibly driven in the newly occupied territory, and the captured prisoners, the number of such a Chinese army definitely exceeded 300,000.
Therefore, it took more than a day, and finally at noon today, the first day of October, they all arrived at the battlefield.
The camps they set up were connected one after another, stretching for more than twenty miles, and they looked really scary.
So there was a scene like the beginning.
Not to mention that the rookie recruits were frightened, even a semi-rookie like Fu Feng was trembling in his heart.
The reason is very simple. One of the netizens is considered one, even veterans such as Hu Biao, AT, Xu Feng, and Cangguan who participated in the mission for the first time.
This was the first time for them to encounter such a big scene.
Not to mention Gui Feng, a semi-rookie who only joined the team during the last mission and had seen the largest battle scene with only the combined forces of both sides amounting to 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Good guy, this scene has suddenly increased more than ten times, who is not feeling guilty...
*****
"It's okay, brother, you must stay steady and don't show a panicked expression.
You know, you are now the deputy commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, and so many of your subordinates are staring at you. If you panic, they will definitely panic even more."
After thinking of something in his mind, a burst of wind told himself this.
So what! In this mission, including Hu Biao, a total of 31 netizens joined.
Among them, three people including Fengrui, Zhan Xiang, and Ali were teleported to the Yanshan area. Originally, there were 28 people left in the Kaifeng battlefield.
But there were two unlucky novice netizens who died on Chubing Mountain.
So now, each of the remaining 26 people has been entrusted with important tasks.
Ten of the chief and deputy commanders of the five infantry divisions were eliminated at once, and another four of the chief and deputy commanders of the two independent artillery brigades were eliminated.
The arrangement of two people in a unit also means that if one person dies in battle, the other person can take over.
Lang Qing and Yu Hanfeng stayed in Kaifeng City to take charge.
The former, Lang Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, needs to continue to manage the workshops of the Ministry of Industry and continuously produce weapons, armor, and ammunition.
God knows how long this war will last and how staggering the consumption will be.
The latter, Yu Hanfeng, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was responsible for the safety of Kaifeng City, but also had a more important matter: to uncover the traitors in the Song Dynasty court.
Various signs indicate that there is a Jin insider hidden in Kaifeng City, and his level is not low.
If it is not discovered, it will be a bomb that will go off at some point.
The remaining ten people, including Hu Biao, were also responsible for different tasks such as general command, staff, logistics, and intelligence. Anyway, no one could be idle.
In this way, it is completely normal for a semi-rookie like Xiu Feng to become a deputy division commander.
It was precisely because of such an important responsibility as the deputy division commander that Liao Feng ignored his social fear attribute. After taking a deep breath, he pretended to have a calm expression.
"Dangdang~" After getting off the guard tower, he said calmly to the soldiers around him:
"Brothers, don't worry, you are very clear about the power of our brand new weapons such as muskets and artillery.
As long as the fighting formation is kept in order, no matter how many these Jin people are, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs in my eyes."
After hearing this sentence, they thought of the power they had never seen before when the volley gun was fired.
Especially if the independent artillery brigade fires with all its strength, it will be such an earth-shattering power that the recruits instinctively hold on to their muskets and at the same time feel calm in their hearts.
But what they didn't know was that the deputy master who said this actually had no confidence at all.
Without him! The Jin people have too many cavalry.
Historically, for infantry to be fearless against cavalry in field battles, it had to wait until a weapon like the machine gun was born and equipped with a large number of weapons.
Before the birth of the machine gun, the cold weapon cavalry defeated the musketeer infantry, which actually happened too many times.
Even the famous lobster musketeers of the John family were defeated by the cold weapon troops of the Zulu infantry, and one unit was completely wiped out.
The only good thing is that they have a large number of artillery, which is also an advantage.
Unexpectedly, just when Xiufeng was trying hard to build himself up mentally and gradually gained some confidence in himself, a messenger from the headquarters came galloping over on a war horse.
He dismounted his horse, gave a military salute to the gust of wind, and handed over an order.
I finished reading it in a hurry, and a gust of wind immediately came out of my mouth, and I cursed angrily: "What the hell~"
Because in such a short order, the content is as follows: According to the deduction of the staff department, the Jin soldiers will launch a probing attack early tomorrow morning.
In order not to expose their strength prematurely, the main force of the Jin army was transferred and then attacked other areas.
In tomorrow's battle, the 1st and 2nd Independent Artillery Brigades will not participate in the battle unless the worst happens. Please be mentally prepared in advance...
