Chapter 216: Fu Meng stands alone (thanks to Hui Chen floating red
More and more troops arrived at Dundo City. Tents were set up on the triangular plain where the rivers met, forming a company camp in regiments. From a distance, hundreds of felt tents dotted all over the place looked spectacular. All kinds of baggage and cattle were seen.
Cars and vehicles are arriving one after another, and several temporary granaries have been built in and outside Dundo City.
On the seventh day, Fumeng Lingcha arrived with all the remaining troops of Yuhou's army.
On the first day of his arrival, the general inspected the camps of all his regiments and had cordial and friendly conversations with every captain.
In fact, no, many generals of the Tang Army had bad tempers, especially before the battle, and Fu Meng Lingcha was no exception. He scolded all the captains who had irregular camp locations one by one.
"You farm slaves! Each one is stupider than the other! Even the pigs know how to occupy the space! Go and grab some damn Feng Shui land! Is this place reserved for you to use as a tomb?"
He pointed at the neatly arranged camps along the river and said loudly: "Did you see the three regiments over there? Dismantle the tents and rebuild them for me! Just follow their standards!"
When it was dark, he led his troops to patrol the camp along the river. His blushing face was as gloomy as cast iron at night. Even if he stood in front of you without cursing, he felt like a thunderous rage was about to be unleashed.
Li Siye, Ren Chengsi, and Zhao Yuanwei hurriedly came forward to greet them, bowed and crossed their hands in salute.
"For a humble position, see Fumeng Zhenshi."
Fumeng ignored them with a dark face, and walked towards the camp kicking the dust with his hands behind his back. When the soldiers with long spears saw him, they stood up straight and did not even dare to breathe.
He passed between the tents, suddenly stopped and looked left and right, then turned around and shouted angrily at Ren Chengsi: "The distance between the two military tents is too close! If there is a sneak attack by thieves and set fire! A gust of wind will blow over and even the entire camp will be destroyed."
It can burn! Is there a bag of feces in your head?"
Ren Chengsi quickly admitted his mistake: "The general taught me a lesson, and my subordinates told them to tear it down and rebuild it again."
"Don't let them take advantage of you! Do it yourself! This is your fault! Why bother the soldiers!"
Ren Chengsi responded repeatedly.
Fumeng Lingcha went to Zhao Yuanwei's camp again. Just because the hay was not removed near the campfire, Zhao Xiaowei was scolded by Fumeng and ordered to use a knife to weed the grass himself.
Li Siye felt a little nervous, just like encountering a harsh boss in the workplace. These people who care about every penny are obsessed with details, perhaps just to scold others.
Fumeng strode through the six military tents of the Eighth Regiment, scanning every corner with his sharp eyes, but couldn't find anything to scold? He turned back without giving up, held the horsewhip in his hand and violently opened the military tent's felt curtain.
The soldiers who were sleeping in the tent sat up one after another, holding their respective scabbards in their hands. The armor on their bodies was shining like fish scales, while half of the soldiers without armor were still sleeping soundly.
Fumeng Lingcha threw down the tent angrily and suddenly turned towards Li Siye: "Li Siye!?"
His tone sounded like a curse, and his blushing face was still tense. Li Siye did not dare to neglect, and immediately stepped forward and crossed his hands: "Here!"
He pretended to be nonchalant and looked at the other side of the Bohuan River, but his voice was not so harsh: "Half of the people in the tent were wearing armor at night, and they were very thoughtful. Although Dunduo City is in Anxi, it is far away from Tuqi Shihei, but it is still
Don’t take it lightly, be more vigilant, and keep one eye open when sleeping!”
"Here!"
Li Siye breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't ask for praise from the general, as long as he didn't get scolded, that would be fine.
The envoy Fumeng lifted his cloak behind him, turned around and left with his guards.
Ren Chengsi immediately dismantled the big tent, moved the sheep felt and set it up again. He swung the wooden hammer to drive wooden stakes into the soil with his bare arms, and there were soldiers holding him beside him. He stopped from time to time, spit into the palm of his hand, and continued to swing.
Sledgehammer.
He stopped again and stood on tiptoes to look at Li Siye's camp, but for a long time he could not hear Fumeng Lingcha's scolding. When he saw the general's red cloak disappearing in the distance, he couldn't calm down anymore and hummed.
He muttered: "Sure enough, he is his own! If he hadn't been Gai Jiayun's confidant, I would have chewed this wooden stake!"
Several brigade leaders and detachments were coming over to snatch the big wooden hammer from his hand, and explained with a smile: "General Fumeng has left."
"Fart, I have to do this job, get out of here!"
…
After Fumeng Lingcha arrived, the baggage regiments of the Yuhou Army on the left and right were also stationed. They were the main force responsible for setting up the camp. Even though it was a semi-temporary garrison, half of the forest on the hilltop was still cut down, and surrounding the
A row of wooden walls were built in the river triangle area, and arrow towers and watchtowers also rose from the ground. Looking around, the flags in the camp were flying fiercely, creating a spectacular scene.
The troops from Qiuci were arriving one after another. Soon the king of Shiguo, one of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in Central Asia, came with his troops, driving sheep and cattle to station on the other side of the Diaohuan River. Immediately afterwards, the American team also drove the livestock.
Come, the two groups combined have more than 7,000 people. Bakhanna's tribe arrived a month later, with as many as 9,000 string-controllers under his command.
It was already the beginning of July. Moheganda, a trooper with the surname Huang, had suffered successive defeats under the attack of the Black Fire-Tutting Immortal. However, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had not yet arrived. He Mo had to lead the main force to withdraw to Dundo City.
Stationed on the other side, he personally went to the city to hold talks with the Tang army, but found that no one had made the decision, and Gai Jiayun's Chinese army had not yet arrived.
Hemoganda was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the Tang army was as stable as a rock. They still mobilized baggage and transported grain and grass step by step, seeming to build Dundo City into a grain and grass transit supply center.
Before the arrival of Gai Jiayun, the highest commander of the Tang army stationed in Dunduo City was Fumeng Lingcha. Hemoganda had no choice but to harass him every day, hoping that he would urge Gai Zhongcheng so that he could return as soon as possible.
Arrive and organize a large army to fight the black forces.
As a subordinate, how could Fumeng dare to write a letter to urge his immediate superior, so he had to say perfunctorily to He Mo: "Don't be anxious, Khan. Whenever the army goes out, it is always necessary to ask the Yin and Yang family to divine an auspicious day. Before the auspicious day arrives,
Gai Zhongcheng won't move, just wait patiently."
He Mo had no choice. Their Tuqi Shi also had priests perform divination, and it was indeed said that the day would be auspicious, so he had to wait patiently.
By the end of July, 60,000 troops had been assembled on the front line of Dondo City, including more than 37,000 troops from the Tuqi Shi Huang, and a total of 16,000 troops from the Central Asian Shi Kingdom, the Mi Kingdom, and the Bakhna Army.
The Tang army actually only had more than 8,000 troops. Even if the Chinese army led by Gai Jiayun arrived, the Tang army deployed only more than 12,000 troops this time, which was equivalent to half of the total strength of the four towns in Anxi.
Li Siye and others were so idle that they almost had a bird's eye in their mouths, but the army still didn't move. They had to climb up to the beacon fort to observe the scenery. They looked around at the Nalen River upstream and the Dihuai River downstream. The Tang army gathered.
The camps set up by armies of all ethnic groups are arranged in a dotted pattern, with flags of various colors fluttering in the summer wind. In the distance of these companies, there are thousands of heavy oxcarts transporting grain and grass back and forth. The soldiers stationed in the camps take turns on patrol, and the Tang cavalry
Exploring around the camp with the scout troops.
Dundo City, which was once deserted and no one cared about, has become so lively. I believe that if the Tang army had been stationed here for a few more months, it would have become a more lively city than Dialong City.
So many troops gathered in such a place, and they were from different tribes and different skin colors. They were full of various emotions for two months, but they were still in order. This shows the general's coordination ability. Gai Jiayun's vision was not
Wrong, Fumeng Lingcha is indeed a unique talent.
On the last day of July, the excitement on the front line of Dunduo City reached its peak, because the Chinese army led by Qixi Jiedushi Gai Jiayun finally arrived belatedly.
