Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh hard work
"Your name is Li Minghui? I see on the roster that three of your brothers have joined the Tiece Army, but both of your brothers have died in the battle?"
The three hundred Iron Ce Army under the command of Lin Yi were still moving quickly, and the battle situation ahead was constantly changing. Although new military information continued to be transmitted along the way, he did not spend more time thinking about the battle situation. He just continued to follow the instructions
He discussed his thoughts with the sergeants he brought with him one by one.
"Yes, General Lin."
"Your mother has an eye disease at home. If you die in battle, she will probably have no one to take care of her. So this time on the battlefield, if there is a critical moment, you can leave first. If you can escape, you must escape. This is my permission.
Especially when there is no point in fighting to the death, you must not fall in love with fighting."
“…”
Although he knew that many generals in the frontier army would be familiar with each sergeant and remembered each sergeant's name and expertise, the sergeant of the Tiece Army who was following the carriage was still stunned when he vaguely heard such a conversation.
"Where can this be?"
Riding his horse next to Lin Yi's carriage, the Tiece Army sergeant who had been bowing his head to talk respectfully also raised his head in astonishment and replied subconsciously.
"Do your best, obey fate, and have a clear conscience." Lin Yi looked at this very loyal sergeant of the Tiece Army and said: "You fight to the death for the country. This is your duty, but to consider your affairs, it is my duty as a general.
This is my duty, not to mention this is my military order."
In the army, military orders are above all else.
The young sergeant lowered his head. He said nothing more. After saluting, he returned to the queue. However, when he finally raised his head again after a while, there was something unusual in his eyes.
Military information is still coming in one after another. The closer you are to the battlefield, the more you can see some sergeants and generals speeding past.
Some of them were carrying orders from the Ministry of War and would stop to briefly describe the latest military information, but some of them just took a look at the clothes of the Tiece Army to determine what kind of army they were, and then at most just nodded and said hello, and then continued non-stop.
Rushing past.
All military situations have one thing in common, that is, the current war situation is very unfavorable to Lan Huaigong's troops.
The Wei army gathered around Sicheng had exceeded 150,000. Lan Huaigong's 70,000 army was now completely suppressed and held on to Sicheng.
Although he knew that in addition to urgently reporting the arrival of the Zhenwu Army from the surrounding states, the Southern Dynasty military must also take other major measures, but even Lin Yi himself was prepared to die in battle.
On this kind of battlefield, the practitioner's chance of survival is not much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. In many cases, he can order such ordinary soldiers to leave, but as the commander-in-chief of an army, even if he leaves, he
He should be the last to leave.
Although it was the Xiao family's reason for joining the Tiece Army from the beginning, he did not feel angry or unlucky because of it. In his opinion, in such troubled times, no one could be spared. As a practitioner and
When fighting a foreign enemy, it is his duty to protect his family and the country. Especially when all his friends and relatives are involved in this war, it is absolutely impossible for him to hide somewhere and make peace.
In fact, he hoped that through his own efforts and those of many other generals, he could change the situation there.
Although in the eyes of many people, the Tiece Army was just a miscellaneous army, he knew very well that probably no Suppressing Wu Army in the surrounding states could surpass the Tiece Army.
…
It had been rainless for several hours along the way. Qi Zhuji, who had been in the carriage for a long time, felt suffocated. He asked a Tiece military captain for a horse and asked the captain to rest in his carriage first, while he himself
But he was riding a horse and walking along the road.
He seemed to be thinking about something alone. After being silent for a long time, he slowly rode towards Lin Yi's carriage, wanting to say something to Lin Yi.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly on the road on one side.
The sound of the horse's hooves was very heavy, and the hammer hit the ground like a dull drum. Along with the sound of the horse's hooves, there was also the crisp sound of many gold and iron hitting each other.
Soon, nearly a hundred heavy cavalry appeared in his sight.
Qi Zhuji's brows frowned slightly, then relaxed.
This was a regular heavy cavalry force of the frontier army. All of these people were wearing Xingyue Xuanjia of the frontier army, and coincidentally, he happened to know the general at the head.
A few hundred steps away, the heavy cavalry army made several gestures to the Tie Ce Army to signal them to stop.
However, the general who led him did not notice the presence of Qi Zhuji at the first time. The nearly one hundred heavy cavalry, with a formidable aura, directly crossed the road. Looking at Lin Yi who walked out of the carriage, the leader of the group
The famous general frowned deeply and said in a cold voice: "Tie Cejun?"
Lin Yi looked at the round-faced middle-aged general. Because he had many experiences along the way, he naturally reached out and picked up his general seal and said: "General Lin Yi of the Right Banner of the Tie Ce Army."
"Why are there so many people?"
The middle-aged general looked at Lin Yi arrogantly, frowning, and did not state his name first, but said this with some disappointment.
The deputy general beside him did not salute Lin Yi, but said: "This is my General Fangtai Huai, and we are the Dongyu Cavalry under General Lan."
Looking at the armor of the middle-aged general at the head, Lin Yi knew that the other man's official rank was two levels higher than his own. He didn't say much and said, "I have met General Fang."
"I heard from military reports along the way that there are thousands of your iron strategy troops? How come there are only so many people?" Fang Taihuai didn't return the greeting, but stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes.
"Most of the rest are behind. There are not enough carriages and horses, so we go ahead." Lin Yi replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"How long does it take for most of the rear to get here?" Fang Taihuai asked again in a deep voice.
Lin Yidao: "At least five days."
"So long?" Fang Taihuai was inexplicably angry, "What's the use of rushing so slowly? Could it be that they are deliberately delaying to avoid fighting?"
"General Fang."
At this moment, Qi Zhuji's voice rang out, "Long time no see, I didn't expect to see you here."
Fang Taihuai was stunned for a moment and turned around. The moment he saw Qi Zhuji's face clearly, he was startled again. He subconsciously bowed slightly and said, "Little..." He didn't react until he uttered one word.
Something was wrong, so he stopped abruptly and said: "Brother Qi Xian, why are you also in the Tie Ce Army?"
"I have been naturalized in the Tiece Army." Qi Zhuji bowed slightly in return and said calmly: "General Lin Yilin led the elite Tiece Army to go ahead and send reinforcements in advance within the time limit of the military order. Of course, it is impossible to avoid fighting.
It's just that the situation forced me to do it as a last resort."
"This..." Fang Taihuai hesitated for a breath, and was no longer as arrogant as before. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that there is a hard job coming soon, and I have to send your iron strategy army to accompany you. With so many people, it is very unstable.
"
"What kind of hard work?" Qi Zhuji frowned slightly.
"There is a batch of ordnance to be transported to Taoren City. The quantity is quite large. Moreover, according to military information, a small group of troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty have been encountered before, so we were ordered to go to the rescue urgently. The Ministry of War gave me documents, and I can mobilize passing troops along the way. It's just that time is urgent. Now
I'm afraid you are the only one who can do it." When Fang Taihuai said this, he stopped talking.
Qi Zhuji asked indifferently: "What kind of ordnance is it?"
Fang Taihuai hesitated again, but still said: "Caltrops, quicklime, and a batch of live poisons."
Hearing such an answer, Lin Yi and others were slightly startled.
Qi Zhuji's frown deepened, "Is it something from the Guo family in Bailan County?"
Fang Taihuai nodded.
Qi Zhuji also nodded and said nothing.
Fang Taihuai hesitated for a moment, and said with some anxiety: "The military situation is urgent, so I'd better bother you and Tie Cejun to do this hard work with me."
Qi Zhuji glanced at Lin Yi, and the deputy general next to Fang Taihuai quickly handed over the corresponding documents.
…
Since everything was in compliance with the rules, it was naturally impossible for Lin Yi to refuse.
He agreed, and the Iron Ce army, which had already changed its marching route once, followed the heavy cavalry.
"This person?" Lin Yi did not get on the car immediately. He walked beside Qi Zhuji's horse and asked softly.
"He is notoriously timid. He was known as Fang Persimmon in the previous dynasty." Qi Zhuji's expression remained unchanged, her lips moved slightly, and she said: "What I'm good at is pleasing the higher-ups. It's not easy to get into such a position. I
I knew that after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask us to follow him. It's just not a good thing to be with such a person."
"Although the items from Bailanguo's workshop are powerful weapons for defending the city, they are too vicious and were not taken away by the previous court. But now they have been sent here. Obviously the military is not confident in whether they can defend those cities." Lin Yi looked at it.
Looking at the heavy riders in front, he said softly: "I just saw what you meant before. Don't you think the things being transported are not important enough, so you can reject them?"
"Military orders are military orders. Since he is afraid of death, he will not take my face. But if he is really in danger, I will naturally weigh it." Qi Zhuji showed a slightly sarcastic smile and said: "You should be careful too, they should
When I sell you, I will never say hello to you first."
