The next day, outside the south gate of Xianyang City.
It was dawn in the sky and most people were asleep.
Fifty cavalrymen had quietly gathered under the city gate.
These people are the military attachés who listened to Ying Zhengwen's order yesterday at Zhangtai Hall.
There was a man in the lead, who was obviously not from the hall yesterday, and he seemed to be only twenty-six or seventeen years old, much younger than the others. However, the pressure of the warrior on his body showed that he was at least the eighth level of physical training.
If you look carefully at his appearance, you will find that he is one of the major generals who personally refined Xie Changyuan's iron body near the iron mine.
He is the second son of General Wang Qian and is responsible for the leader of this operation.
Although there were only fifty people, the number of horses was three times that of people.
Each person has an ordinary war horse under his crotch, and then leads a heavy-loaded mule and horse behind him, and at the end are followed by tall, high-quality horses with bright coats!
These are the royal horses raised by the palace, all of which are thousands of miles away. Moreover, the royal horses raised by the Qin royal family are all trained according to the standards of war horses. Their ability to rush into battle is naturally outstanding. Coupled with the innately excellent bloodline, these horses
The horse is almost the best war horse in the Qin Kingdom.
On this trip south, Ying Zhengwen gifted these fifty royal horses and sent these warriors to march thousands of miles to the capital of the Song Dynasty to charge into battle!
They lined up in silence like this, with a ray of sunlight in front of them gradually shining on them, making their faces clear-cut and extremely resolute and brave.
Some time later, several carriages drove out of the city.
The carriage was packed with items, covered with a large cloth and secured with ropes.
Listening to the noise, it should be some armor or weapons.
There were three people on the leading carriage, and one of them was an old man. This man had dark skin, a tall figure, and a bald head. However, his arms were bandaged and hung limply on both sides.
He is Ou Yefeng, a famous swordsmith in the north, and the little girl beside him is her granddaughter and Xie Changyuan's happy enemy Ou Moxie.
As for the other tall and burly man, he should be Ou Yefeng's apprentice.
When these three people appeared, fifty cavalrymen immediately looked at them. They all jumped off their horses and looked at them solemnly.
The leading young cavalryman stepped forward in two steps and saluted the elderly Ou Yefeng with clasped fists.
"I've seen Mr. Ou!" the young man shouted.
"Young General, there is no need to be polite." Ou Yefeng nodded.
The major general's name is Wang Ben. In theory, although he cannot inherit his father's title in the future due to his status, his family's military achievements are outstanding, and he can still be promoted to a title in the future.
But when facing Ou Yefeng, he didn't have the slightest bit of unruliness like a nobleman, but instead showed great respect for him.
This is of course because the old man is the best in the world in forging weapons, and when he served for that army, that army used the weapons he forged to sweep across the Jin army, and even ultimately established the outcome of the Qin-Jin war.
That army is the Lu Family Army, led by Lu Fengnen, who is currently one of the great priests of the Twelve Divine Palaces.
And Xie Changyuan was the pioneer officer of the Lu Jiajun at that time.
Ou Yefeng's face looked a little tired, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Ou Moxie beside him couldn't help but look worried when he saw his grandfather's appearance. He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the sweat for Ou Yefeng.
Ou Yefeng showed a relieved smile to his granddaughter, and then glanced at the carriageway behind him.
"This batch of armor and war guns were all made by my disciples. Please take them with you and use them. When you arrive at Bianliang City, I will hand over the contents of the last carriage to Xie Changyuan."
Ou Yefeng's voice was hoarse, and the smell of exhaustion was very obvious.
Although this batch of heavy armor was made by his apprentices, Ou Yefeng's supervision was indispensable during the process.
Although he is disabled, decades of blacksmithing experience are the greatest guarantee for this batch of armor.
As long as this batch of armor is forged successfully, the possibility of these fifty Great Qin cavalry surviving will be greater. For this reason, Ou Yefeng and the other three have been busy for more than ten days, and almost sleep for less than two hours every day.
All the officers looked at Ou Yefeng and the others gratefully, and then neatly gave him a military salute.
Immediately, everyone hurriedly took off the heavy armor from the carriage, and then tied it to the backs of their own mules and horses.
They were all people with quick hands and feet, and they could divide the things in three strokes. As for the last carriage, it was still covered with cloth and tied tightly with hemp ropes. There were three mules and horses in front of it to pull the carriage.
Obviously, the things on this are very heavy!
When they heard Xie Changyuan's name, dozens of officers felt a little excited.
This man's name has long been known throughout the Qin Dynasty. He is young but has outstanding military exploits. He rose to prominence in the Qin-Jin War ten years ago. With his personal bravery, he rose from a soldier to a general. He also forged a deep friendship with Ying Zhengwen, who was still the prince at the time.
Before the death of the late emperor, he was even canonized as the front-line Zhengyin Pioneer Officer, making this military position that would only be assigned before the war an exception and becoming a fixed one. He also enjoyed the privilege of mobilizing an army of 5,000 men at any time, without the need for
Please call the emperor in advance!
With this honor, as long as Xie Changyuan stayed in the army, he would become a general sooner or later.
Unfortunately, the Lu Jiajun massacre occurred later, causing the young general to lose an eye and an arm. From then on, Xie Changyuan left the army and began to travel back and forth in the northern border, and proposed the Great Wall of the Northern Territory plan that shocked the whole country.
The Great Qin army naturally respected Xie Changyuan extremely. They had heard that he went all the way south to the coast of the South China Sea, but they did not expect that he was actually in Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty at this time.
This time, their fifty cavalry went south to support Xie Changyuan, to fight their way through the 80,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang City, and to obtain sufficient conditions for Xie Changyuan.
As long as it succeeds, the Song State will have the opportunity to form an alliance with the Qin State. At that time, the Great Wall Project in the North can go a step further. Outside the northern border, there will be another aid from the Song State, and in the future, it can successfully resist the representatives of the Twelve Divine Palaces.
The power of the West to invade civilization will become even stronger!
They were carrying a heavy burden this time, and they felt a mixture of emotions in their hearts, including the excitement and honor of participating in a big event, but also the nervousness of facing tens of thousands of troops.
But when I thought about meeting Xie Changyuan, enthusiasm emerged in my heart. Among them, the most excited person was Pan Si.
Because he was a soldier who retired from the army the day before the Lu Jiajun massacre. Although he was older, to put it bluntly, Xie Changyuan was his old boss.
After all, when Xie Changyuan first joined the army, it was Pan Si who taught him how to survive as much as possible on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, in the past ten years, Xie Changyuan has become a big shot, while Pan Si is just the cavalry commander of the imperial guard.
It's a sigh of relief. A real man never cares about the small status gap. Pan Si is still very happy at the thought of going south to find Xie Changyuan.
