After all, it seemed too hasty to gather the troops and rush on the road in the heavy rain, and the unfavorable battle situation on the front line was piling up in everyone's minds like a haze at this time.
All the Tiece Army sergeants felt a little anxious. In their imaginations, as the highest general in the army, Lin Yi should say something before setting off.
However, Lin Yi didn't say anything.
When the three hundred Tiece Army soldiers were assembled, he just nodded to all the Tiece Army sergeants who were waiting for him to speak, and then got on the carriage.
He didn't look worried, on the contrary, he was calm.
It was as if that was where he was supposed to go.
Sometimes, silence can make people more panicked, but at this time, his silence carried an unspeakable power.
The uneasiness in the hearts of many Tiece Army soldiers suddenly disappeared.
The three hundred iron troops selected by Wei Guanxing were all the best riders among the iron troops. The horses used for these people were only adequate, and the quality was uneven. Following a few carriages, it gave people the appearance of a situation.
But it's not rushed.
Xue Jiu was also among the 300 Iron Ce Army. He was the most familiar with Lin Yi. According to Han Zhengbei, Lin Yi might not know much about these 300 Iron Ce Army. During the war, Xue Jiu pressed
I'm afraid it would be more convenient for military orders to assist in dispatching.
However, in fact, the army had just been mobilized, and Lin Yi had already taken the roster of the three hundred sergeants in the slightly dimmed carriage and read through it carefully.
This was a habit formed by his father and many generals in the past.
Not only do they know themselves and their enemies, but they also know the strengths of every sergeant under their command. The most important thing is that these are all living people. When they rush forward after listening to military orders, if they die in battle, the general who leads the army will
It is extremely disrespectful to describe strangers like them without even seeing their names.
In the army that his father commanded back then, even the generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops could remember the names of most of the sergeants under their command.
Now he is confident that he will get to know all of these three hundred people during the more than ten days of traveling.
The heavy rain stopped after half an hour, and the road was already muddy. A Tiecejun primary school commander took out the marching map from his waterproof bag and looked at it, then looked at the sky, and he admired Wei Guanxing even more in his heart.
Most of the people in the Tiece Army are veteran soldiers who are good at fighting in the wild. Just like this young man from the Tiece Army named Song Luomu, he is very good at watching the wind and clouds to deduce weather changes.
According to his deduction at this time, there should be rain of varying sizes during the march in the next three days, and the road will be even more difficult to walk. However, looking at the march map, the red dots that Wei Guanxing had marked before were
Judging from the positions that must be reached every day, Wei Guanxing has taken all these factors into account.
Lin Yi looked through the roster. At noon, the sky cleared up, and a green mountain and river could be clearly seen in the distance, as well as a yellow earth city.
That was Yilan Village. It was just a horse farm for the military before. But after the war with the Northern Wei Dynasty started, a lot of labor was used to build the city wall. There should only be more than a hundred sergeants stationed there. Before that,
It is said that many wounded soldiers sent from the front line were placed here.
The roster of three hundred sergeants has been flipped through, but on the last page there is a single page with seven young people recorded.
Lin Yi was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that these were the seven young people who took the initiative to join the Tie Ce Army.
These seven young people were all practitioners who came to see him fight with Ni Yunshan that day. He had left them to Wei Guanxing for training before, so he had neglected their presence. This time Wei Guanxing said that the practitioners other than Jiange were...
These seven young people were also directly assigned to him.
Looking at the relevant introductions on the roster of these seven young practitioners, Lin Yi's eyes gradually showed a look of surprise. He thought for a moment, opened the car curtains, and said softly to Xue Jiu who was riding next to him: "Let me
Situ Nian came to see me."
Xue Jiu was slightly startled and didn't ask any further questions. He just reined in his horse and shouted several times at the rear array.
The young practitioner named Situ Nian came out of the queue and soon reached the carriage where Lin Yi was.
This is a young man with dark skin. According to the date of birth recorded on the register, he is nine months younger than Lin Yi, but his face looks older.
He is shorter and thinner than Lin Yi, but looks very capable.
Like the other six young men, he only wore the same armor as an ordinary Tiece sergeant. It was difficult to tell at a glance how he was different from an ordinary Tiece sergeant.
"You have a grudge against Xiao Jin?"
Lin Yi didn't get out of the car. He rolled up the car curtains, then looked at the apparently unsmiling young man seriously and asked softly.
"have."
The dark-skinned young man saluted Lin Yi on horseback, and then said: "My father is Situ Huang, but he had a dispute with Xiao Jin during the previous dynasty. When the new dynasty was changed, my father did not
He was not considered a royalist, but he was eventually killed by Xiao Jin and died at Liuma Pass."
"When the old dynasty changed to the new dynasty, there were many grievances, but most of them had to be kept in mind. But when you interviewed General Wei, you did not shy away from your hatred. You said that you wanted to take revenge when you joined the Tie Ce Army?" Lin Yi
Looking at the young man's eyebrows seriously, he still said softly.
"good."
Situ Nian nodded indifferently and said: "Actually, I am different from the others. Before they came to watch the scene between you and Ni Yunshan, they had no idea of joining the Tie Ce Army, but they had thought of joining before.
Tie Cejun just came over from the north. It just happened that the time came together."
Lin Yiping asked simply: "Why?"
"Because except here, in the entire Southern Dynasty, no one should dare to take in people like me." Situ Nian laughed, and wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes, which made him look more and more aged. "Wei Guanxing was originally informal.
A general of the same rank, and you are the same person. If you dare to close the sword pavilion, it means infinite possibilities. And I heard that you and the Xiao family are not getting along well."
"I understand what you mean." Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at the young man with a lot of pain in his smile and said seriously: "It's just between state affairs and personal hatred. Naturally, state affairs come first. I firmly believe that state affairs come first."
Although Tie Cejun can accommodate you, it may mean the possibility of revenge in the future in your opinion, but before you are able to take revenge, you must be no different from ordinary Tiece Jun."
"I also understand what you mean." Situ Nian suppressed his smile and said solemnly.
"I checked these seven people and there is nothing wrong with them."
After the conversation between Lin Yi and Situ Nian ended, Bai Yuelu, who was sitting in the same carriage as Lin Yi, glanced at him and said.
"I know there should be no problem."
Lin Yi looked at her and said, "If there was a problem, you should have told me already."
Bai Yuelu said nothing more to him, because at this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the distance again.
The dull sound of the horses' hooves hitting the muddy road is even more inexplicable and depressing.
The three horses came flying in, and the mud had already covered the horses and their bodies.
"The city of Xian has been defeated. Your iron strategy army must reach Sicheng within twenty days."
These three horsemen were all serving as messengers from the military. After checking each other's identities, the leading official just said this in an unusually simple manner, and then began to gallop on his horse.
Although there is no formal document, the identity of the other party is correct, so this is naturally a new military order.
Sicheng is located farther than Zhongli City. Although it is only half a day's journey, it is still a big burden for the current situation.
At dusk, when approaching Yilan Village, another military order came over.
"Zhongsu City has been destroyed."
The sky was already dark, and the faces of everyone in Tiece Army were also gloomy.
Two cities were destroyed in one day.
Although Xian City and Zhong Su City were not big fortresses, they were not close to each other. Zhong Su City was close to Sucheng, while Xian City was behind S City where they wanted to aid.
According to the previous military situation, Wang Yuanying's army in Zhongshan should be extremely exhausted, but suddenly it was able to divide its troops and run a long distance. No matter how you look at it, it seems that new troops have arrived.
"Most of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying's troops have begun to besiege Sicheng."
Before dawn, new military information had arrived.
