Chapter 752: Patrolling The Battalion
Everyone else was fine, the three days of wanton galloping can only be described as joyful, even Xiao Ruxue had a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Everything else about Xu Qing is fine, except that after three days of polishing, the crotch is a little sore...
Not to mention that they are used to riding horses one by one, and they are also wearing battle robes, which can give the body the greatest degree of protection, and there will be nothing wrong with riding horses wantonly.
He doesn't have a shirt!
The three consecutive days of rushing the horse and whipping the whip really made him unbearable.
At this time, Xu Qing somewhat missed the time when he went to Liuzhou with the little girl, he could ride around on the horse, it was such a pleasant life.
This was the first time for Xu Qing to come to the border, and the first time to be on a real battlefield.
This place is really not comparable to the atmosphere of enjoying flowers and scenery in the capital.
First of all, there is a long supply line, which is transported by ox carts, constantly transporting food back and forth between the front barracks and the rear. These cattle were used to repay the debts from the grassland when the Liuli Wolf King was sold, and they will not be transported back to the capital in the future. Just came in handy.
Surrounded by banners and flags, there are sentries and patrolling soldiers, and the area of tens of miles is shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.
Now that they are so imposing before they even reach the real frontline battlefield, it is really hard to imagine what a real military formation would look like.
At this moment, a drop of rainwater hit Xu Qing's arm, and Xiao Ruxue, who was beside Xu Qing, looked at the already gray sky, and said, "Xu Qing, let's go back to the tent as soon as possible. It is going to rain."
Xu Qing nodded, and said, "I'm afraid our Chu country's expedition to the grassland will not be as smooth as imagined."
Xiao Ruxue wondered: "Why? We have firearms, and those war horses will be scared out of their wits when they hear the roar of thunder."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's already summer now, one and a half to two months at most, our firearms reserves can't conquer the huge grassland in such a short period of time. Then the grassland will enter the rainy season, and the use of firearms The power will be greatly weakened, and if the soldiers fight hand-to-hand, the cavalry on the grassland will not be weaker than our Chu army, and we have a tough battle to fight."
Xiao Ruxue was puzzled and said, "Don't we just have the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter? What is the rainy season?"
Xu Qing explained; "In some places, the rainfall will be concentrated in a certain period of time in a year, which is called the rainy season, and other times are the dry season. The dry and rainy seasons on the grassland will be obvious. Putting it on the grassland is quite detrimental to our army."
Xiao Ruxue snorted; "Prairie people are really cunning! They even put the start of the war in the rainy season!"
Xu Qing smiled dryly and said, "Xue'er, calm down, your father started the war, and...we seem to be on the aggressive side now."
"Ah?" Xiao Ruxue suddenly felt embarrassed: "Is that so?"
Xu Qing said with a smile; "Okay, let's go to the camp first, your father will definitely launch an all-out offensive when he arrives here, and defeat the main force of the grassland to the greatest extent, as long as we can defeat the Wanyan tribe within two months." Tiger, it doesn’t matter if you have firearms or not.”
Xiao Ruxue nodded and agreed; "Okay."
Chinese military account
King Xian, Zhao Hongyu, Yan Guang, and Xiao Ye are standing in front of the sand table and studying the current battle situation.
The sand table was invented as early as the Han Dynasty and was used for military purposes. Sand will be piled up on it as a terrain, marking the deployment of enemy and enemy forces.
The sand table can show the situation of the enemy and the enemy more intuitively than the map, and deduce the next action.
There are very few undulating terrains on the grassland, and many places are flat, with a little hill at most, so it is quite easy to arrange the sand table.
Zhao Hongyu's cupped fist in military uniform said: "My lord, our Zhenbei army has stopped advancing these days, and is constantly consolidating the new land it has opened up. It also treats the prisoners preferentially and treats the herdsmen according to the law. It does not slaughter the city or plunder."
King Xian has already put on his battle robe but has not put on his armor yet. He nodded and said: "Well, you did a good job. Now the army of Wanyan tribe may have arrived. As long as you can eat the Wanyan tribe The main force of the army, the rest of the tribes will not be a threat."
Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing walked in from the outside, Xiao Ruxue looked at the virtuous king and said, "Father!"
King Xian looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Why is Xue'er here? Didn't I ask you and Xu Qing to go back to the tent to rest for a while?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Father, Xu Qing said that the grassland will enter the rainy season in at most two months, and the rain will be concentrated by then, and the power of our firearms will be greatly weakened. If possible, it is best to wipe out the main force of the Wanyan Department within two months, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."
Hearing Xiao Ruxue's words, King Xian murmured: "Rainy season? This king almost ignored this matter. Firearms are most afraid of water. If it comes to the rainy season, not to mention using firearms to fight, proper storage is a big problem. You have a heart."
Xu Qing said: "Fortunately, the rainy season is still in the future. Even if it rains during this period, it will not last for a long time. We must plan ahead for a place to store firearms. We need a cool and dry place, and it is impossible to see the fire." exposure."
King Xian nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the Marquis of Anding County said is reasonable, Yan Guang, you go and handle this matter, this is an important matter of the military aircraft, and it must be perfect according to the words of the Marquis of Anding County."
Yan Guang immediately cupped fist and said: "Yes!"
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said, "You are as thoughtful as ever."
Xu Qing said: "In his position, seek his position."
King Xian nodded and said: "It's good that you are in his position and looking for a job. I don't intend to let you, a three-legged cat, go to the battlefield to join in the fun. From now on, I will entrust you with the patrolling of the barracks. You must fight Twelve points of the spirit, just like today, a hundred secrets without a single omission."
Xu Qing also learned the cupped fist way of military generals; "The last general takes orders."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue who was on the side said, "Father, I want to patrol the camp too!"
King Xian looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Sleep well at night, why are you patrolling the camp?"
Xiao Ruxue immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, Father, don't let Xueer stay in the boring tent at night, let Xueer go to the camp with Xu Qing, okay?"
The Xian King looked at Xiao Ruxue's big eyes, and finally he could only nod his head and said, "Alright, it's just that you can keep an eye on him, and don't let him doze off to be lazy."
Xiao Ruxue immediately said, "Father, don't worry, Xue'er will definitely not let Xu Qing be lazy to doze off!"
