Chapter 201 - Going to Fuping
Four years in Xuanwu, on the third day of the first month, Zhao Chen left the Tongguan and returned to Chang'an!
He left on the third day of the first month, and on the third day of the first month, late at night, the sounds of emergency gathering came from the military camps several tens of kilometers away from the Tongguan!
Originally, the sound of the ordinary emergency gathering was the sound of a bamboo whistle, but this time, it was the sound of a war drum! In the darkness of the night, the dull drumbeats could be heard, and the entire Tongguan shook!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao were no longer soldiers. The two of them were now Academy Officer, and could be considered the leaders of a group! As for Wang Ying, he was a deputy general, the commander of an army! New recruits were different from old soldiers, the new recruit's commander was still one level lower than the old soldier's commander!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao had already gotten up and put on their clothes as fast as they could as they ran out of the army camp!
Once they were outside, countless soldiers were heading in their direction!
"Quick!" Form up immediately! "Points!" After the third echo, Yang Zheng and his subordinates, the new recruits had all arrived, Yang Zheng anxiously gave out his order!
In the shortest time possible, Yang Zheng confirmed that all the soldiers had arrived in this place.
The entire First Army was doing this!
"Reporting to the general, everyone is here!" Not a single one is behind! " Wang Ying stood there as a Academy Officer ran in front of him and said.
"Very good! The war drums began to sound late into the night. Something urgent had occurred! The orders from above would be passed down soon! Pass my order, all soldiers are to prepare weapons, food, and supplies. Wang Ying said.
immediately passed down the order, the soldiers of the First New Army quickly followed the order!
After half an hour, the First Recruit Army began to move towards the northwest!
Just as the First Forces of the new recruits left, almost all the new troops that were within ten miles of Tongguan began to move!
The Forbidden Army originally had 50,000 people. With the addition of 100,000 youths, the total was 150,000 people! By now, the one hundred and forty thousand of them had already started heading northwest! Only ten thousand veterans remained in the Tongguan to defend!
Yue Fei was riding on his horse, and beside him were a few armored officers, all of them frowning!
"Brother, are you sure that the Jin Army is heading towards Fu Ping region?" A young man in his early twenties said.
If Zhao Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this young man! So he was actually the person who had followed Zhao Chen to Tongguan back then, the brother of Yue Fei! The three most famous generals in the history of the Yue Clan, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian! Yue Fei was the commander, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were the vice commander-in-chiefs, at the moment, Wang Gui was still at the east side of the river, but Zhang Xian had already returned!
"When Jin Army lands from the Dragon Gate, her first target will definitely be Chang'an! Chang An's position was exceptionally important, it was the center of Guan Shan! If they wanted to go to Chang'an, they had to go to Fuping from the Dragon Gate! Let's rush to Fuping now and stand in front of them! " Yue Fei said.
Zhang Xian nodded!
Be it Yue Fei or Zhang Xian, both of them were somewhat worried. They never thought that the Nvzhen would actually land from the Dragon Gate! Yue Fei secretly blamed himself in his heart. He felt that not protecting the Dragon Gate crossing was a huge mistake! That was where Li Yuan had landed, and he had actually neglected this matter!
"However, we are different from before, our current military strength far surpasses before! I believe that Jingyuan Army, Tsinghua Army and Shanbei Forbidden Army have also received the news and will also head south! With so many of us together, there's no problem at all in trying to eliminate the female invaders! " Yue Fei said.
The so-called Shanbei Forbidden Army was Li Xianzhong's army! Li Xianzhong originally had 36 troops under his command, with 360,000 troops and horses, but now that it had been streamlined, there were still 100,000 soldiers and horses left. These 100,000 soldiers and horses were given the title "Forbidden Army", and Li Xianzhong was under the control of the Shanbei Forbidden Army!
It was snowing heavily, and the soldiers were striding forward!
Yang Zheng, Liang Hao were in the middle of the troop, he was urging the soldiers to move forward!
"The Nvzhen has landed from the Dragon Gate, they have already conquered the Korean City! I heard that there are at least a hundred thousand of them! With this many Nvzhen, are we really their match? " Liang Hao said somewhat worriedly.
"We can definitely defeat them! His Majesty had once said, 'Our army has an indomitable spirit, it wants to overwhelm all enemies, and will never be yield to them!' Didn't General Yue win against Nvzhen in the past? Those are just the Nvzhen bragging, don't be afraid! " Yang Zheng said.
"I am still a bit worried. We are all new recruits, our training time is too short!" The 100 thousand female soldiers are all from the Conquest of the South, all the way to the Central Plains, all the way from the Liao Country to our Song Dynasty, they really have a lot of fighting experience! Our combat experience is inferior to theirs! " Liang Hao said.
"You're too cowardly!" Yang Zheng shouted.
"I'm not a coward, I'm just worried! I'm not afraid of death. I believe none of my brothers are afraid of death. I'm just afraid that we'll panic and die a worthless death! If I can exchange my life for one life, if I can exchange ten thousand people for ten thousand people, then I will die willingly! " Liang Hao said.
"You two brats, don't move to say more! Once we are on the battlefield, as long as you follow me, as long as you continue to advance forward, don't even think about anything, we will definitely be able to defeat them! " At this time, Wang Ying came to their side, and smiled.
This was a newly formed army. In the face of a war, the army officers were very perturbed, this was a very common thing, at the moment, Wang Ying was doing the work of a general in the army.
"Remember those simple military tactics on the infantry exercise code, remember how to communicate and cooperate on the battlefield! Once we are on the battlefield, all we need to do is accept the orders from the higher-ups! If the General Yue uses troops like gods and follow the General Yue, they will definitely be able to defeat the Female Genuine! " Wang Ying said.
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao both nodded their heads!
On the third night of the first month, the army did not have any rest as they continued forward!
On the morning of the fourth day of the first month, the army rested for half an hour in a place with no wind. In this half hour, they ate and ate.
On the evening of the fourth day of the first month, they continued to advance through the wind and snow!
On the fifth day of the first month, they rested for another hour. On the evening of the fifth day of the first month, they finally arrived at a place east of Fuping County City!
After two days and two nights, they had almost traveled four hundred miles without rest! The ancient path was very different from the current one. Compared to the current one, it was much more difficult to walk on it. Furthermore, it was covered in snow, making the road even more difficult!
Towards such an achievement, all the upper echelons of the Imperial Guard, including Yue Fei, were very satisfied!
The first unit of the new recruits had arrived at their assigned position. The soldiers had been rushing for two days and two nights. At this moment, they were extremely tired, but the orders from the higher units were absolute!
"They gave us two hours of time! After two hours, Jin Army will rush here! In this hour, everyone had some hot water to polish their weapons! "Boys, your first battle is about to begin!" Wang Ying walked to the middle of the soldiers and said loudly.
Some of the soldiers were nervous, some were excited, and there were even some who were frightened! They were all very nervous!
"Are you afraid?" Wang Ying laughed.
"No!" However, the sound was not very orderly and it was not very loud!
"Are you afraid or not?" Wang Ying shouted coldly.
"No!" This time, it was much louder!
"Right, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! As long as one was human, there would be a day when one would die! It was just the difference between dying early and dying late! Some people live their whole lives without any success, and die on their kang at home. After death, who would remember him? What was the point of such a death? Even if we die, our names will be carved in the Shrine of Loyalty, and our descendants will always remember our names and achievements! Don't you think so? " Wang Ying said.
"Yes sir!" The soldiers said in unison.
"So, don't be afraid of death! At most, he would be another man in twenty years! "We are men, men. We must act like men!" Wang Ying laughed loudly.
The soldiers below burst into laughter!
The nervous and nervous soldiers were finally able to relax! Seeing that, Wang Ying's face revealed a sincere smile!
"After this battle, who knows how many warriors died here! We are all my brothers, I will do my best to keep them alive here! I must fight my way forward and set an example! On the battlefield, the braver you are, the more you will survive! " Wang Ying was also constantly cheering herself up in her heart!
Among the 140,000 troops, 40,000 of them were veterans of the Forbidden Army! And twenty thousand of the forty thousand were cavalry! Last year, after Yue Fei obtained several tens of thousands of horses from the Jin Army, he meticulously trained his cavalry, these twenty thousand riders could be considered as the elite of the elite. However, on the way, Wang Ying and the rest did not see any of the twenty thousand cavalrymen!
The sky was getting darker, and the sounds of the Imperial Guard gradually stopped. The atmosphere became more and more oppressive!
Gradually, they could feel the ground shaking. The scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping in the distance was truly terrifying!
