Chapter 216

Although Yu Tianxiang said that, she still appreciated Ye Zhiqiu. Two years ago, ye Zhiqiu was able to win the first place in the Chongyang exam. Although her father and aunt wanted to inspire the poor students, ye Zhiqiu's talent and learning were outstanding. Two years ago, ye Zhiqiu was one of the top 12 candidates in the exam Yan Zheng and Lu que belong to the same class, while others belong to another class.

Although judging from her current achievements, Lu que is no doubt ahead of everyone, including not only the students who took the Chongyang exam two years ago, but also her and Gu Qingcheng, Yun Xiansi and others who entered the school four years ago, and even the students of Gu Qianxue and Shang Qingchen six years ago. However, this does not negate the talents of Ye Zhiqiu, Yan Zheng and others. These people are the most potential and talented talents of Da Qian. After more than ten or twenty years, they will surely grow into the Prime Minister of Da Qian.

In addition, ye Zhiqiu's ability to take the position of chief of Qingquan Academy in the second year of entering the academy and become the new master of Qingquan ruishe has shown his talent. You know, among the people he defeated in the battle for chief, there was Liu xuansi, the second son of Prime Minister Liu no doubt. Otherwise, with Lu's careful mind and cautious character, he would not send Ye Zhiqiu to lead the army alone even in order to promote poor families. In the overall view, no one in the whole young generation of Da Qian is stronger than Lu, and he would never do anything impulsive and capricious.

"Duke Lin, marquis Xiao, I know that when the other side doesn't send out the same level of strong people, the strong people above the catastrophe won't attack the ordinary soldiers. This is also the rule of Qingmu continent. You stay in the middle army with our palace and see how my son Lang of Fengxiang army attacked Qianshui stronghold below. " Yu Tianxiang looks at the nearer and nearer water village, and her face doesn't change at all. She still smiles faintly.

"Princess highness, after all, this is the battleground between the two countries. In order to be safe, the princess will return to the cabin. If there is a stream of wounded princess, we can not tell her majesty." Although he admired the courage of the young princess, he frowned at the clothes she was wearing.

At this time, Yu Tianxiang was not wearing the general's armor or the hunting suit that was convenient for action. Instead, she was wearing the princess's costume that was only worn for important ceremonies. The cumbersome and beautiful style, the red color like a fire, coupled with her peerless appearance, really lived up to the reputation of national beauty. It's just that wearing such a suit on the battlefield is not conducive to action, but also too ostentatious.

"No, I'm the deputy commander of Fengxiang army, but I'm also Princess Daqian. If I win this battle, my palace will wear this costume to celebrate for the soldiers of all battalions. If I lose the battle, there will be Yu Tianxiang on the ancient road of huangquan. I'd like to use this ritual costume to guide the soldiers, and I'd like to join my hometown and fight for Daqian in the next life." Yu Tianxiang shook his head and said firmly.

"Fight for Da Qian." All the soldiers standing beside Yu Tianxiang were shocked by the words. There was a trace of fanaticism in their eyes. They all cried out.

"Fight

"War!"

"War

Soon other officers and soldiers on board also responded. The shouts of more than 35000 people made the whole river buzzing. All the officers and soldiers of the left camp of Fengxiang army's originally high fighting spirit rose again, and the surging fighting spirit swept away all the water and fog on the river.

"The order goes on. The bow crossbows of the fighting ships are ready to march with drums." Yu Tianxiang looked around, his face flushed with excitement, and cried out.

"Dong ~ Dong ~" one side of the army drum sounded in the fleet, the roaring sound was like thunder across the Guangji river. The new recruits of Tianxing, who are in the water stronghold, are scared when they hear the frightening drums. If the veterans who came from the army of Wangdu were not angry, they might not have the courage to fight with the fleet in the river.

Xiao Juntian and Lin Mingxuan, who are standing behind Yu Tianxiang, look at each other and show a look of approval. They did not expect that Yu Tianxiang, who was the first leader of the army, actually used such a way to boost their morale. You have to know that Daqian has been in power for more than 240 years, and Ming emperors have emerged in large numbers. In the hearts of the people of Daqian, the Yu family is the supreme existence. Now a legitimate princess is standing behind them in a national ceremonial dress. Although no one has ever used this method before, for these soldiers, This is more exciting than Princess Dagan fighting with them.

Because the princess needs them to guard and protect, and the only way to protect the princess is to win. Yu Tianxiang used a simple suit and words to make all the soldiers willing to die. This idea and skill really live up to the name of Shuangshu in his empire.

Yu Tianxiang listened to the sound of the drum, but his heart could not help surging up a trace of the pride of fighting for the country. He took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement. Yu Tianxiang put his hands in the Dantian position and looked at the nearer and nearer water village from a distance. He thought to himself, "Ye Zhiqiu, I've attracted the sight of the water village. Next, it's up to you."

At this time, ye Zhiqiu stood on the hill as the commanding point of the north bank, looking at the situation in the water village and the river, with a knowing smile on his face. He had heard the battle drums of the fleet in the river, and also felt the mighty fighting spirit and boundless military power of the fleet, and even observed the panic in the Tianxing water village after the battle drums sounded, The whole process was much smoother than he expected, which made him feel relieved.

After crossing the river, he sent 300 veterans of the scouting battalion to raid the four watchtowers on the mound. You should know that these 300 veterans were the only remaining Yulin scouting battalion. In the battle of Danshui ten months ago, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng used these men, together with the white wolf king's wolves, to annihilate the rear cushion army of the mad lion army, which was 30 times more than their troops, If we say that the three hundred veteran scouts like Yulin scouting camp, Fengfeng Qingqi, benlei Chongqi and Fengxiang yunqi are all famous and elite teachers in the world, then these three hundred veterans of Scouting camp are the elite among the elite.

After crossing the river, ye Zhiqiu gathered the veterans of the Yulin scouting camp who had already done the duties of commander, uncle, even commander and Sima, and raided the watchtower on the hill for the first time, To clear the way to attack the water stronghold from behind.

"Ye Jun Shi, according to the current speed of the river fleet, will enter the crossbow range of the sky star after half a hour. At this time, the attention of the village has been attracted by the fleet of the princess's highness. Shall we do it?" Li Chang, who was appointed by Lu que as the commander in charge of the scouting camp, came to Ye Zhiqiu and asked. It was he who led the scouting camp veterans to steal the four watchtowers on the hill.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and asked, "what's the matter with the interrogation? Are there any prisoners who guard the watchtower willing to join us and work for Da Qian?"

"No, none of them." Li Chang sighed and shook his head. "These people are obviously selected by Chai Yuanjian. If we didn't attack them suddenly when they were in a sleepy night, we might not be able to win the four watchtowers so easily. Although their combat power is much inferior to that of the scouting camp, they are all private soldiers of the Chai family and are loyal to Chai Yuanjian, All of them ~ "Li Chang sighed again.

Li Chang knew that the reason why Ye Zhiqiu asked him to persuade these prisoners was that he wanted to use these prisoners to cheat open the gate of Shuizhai camp, so that he could rush into the camp and win. But he didn't expect that the Tianxing soldiers who guarded the watchtower were so tough and loyal that he would rather die than surrender.

"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter." Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his temple.

"What should we do with these prisoners?" Li Chang hesitated and asked.

"Although we are not in charge of the army, these people can no longer pose a threat to us. We should not commit any more crimes. We should find some strong ropes to tie them up and deal with them together after the war. If these people do not die for their country and commit suicide after the fall of the heavenly star, they will all be our people."

"No Li Chang gave a military salute and turned to leave.

Looking at Li Chang's back, ye Zhiqiu turns to look at the captive under the mound behind him. He can't help shaking his head and sighing. Although Tianxing's language is similar to that of Daqian, there are some differences in pronunciation and intonation. No matter he, Meng Cang, Li Chang, or the soldiers of Scouting camp and Fengqi camp can speak pure Tianxing accent. Originally, he intended to use these captives to cheat open the camp gate of the water stronghold, and then fight in to create chaos. When Princess Tianxiang's army arrived, he would gather and annihilate them. However, he didn't want these captives to die rather than surrender, so he had to launch a surprise attack according to the original plan while the water stronghold's eyes were attracted by the fleet on the river.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the soldiers of the two battalions who were gathered under the earth mound, and there was a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. The soldiers of the two battalions that Lu que handed over to him did not live up to the reputation of being elite. They were excellent at marching and fighting. It can be said that few of them could compete with the soldiers of the two battalions in the twelve main armies of Da Qian.

At the beginning, there were only more than 300 people in the Yulin scouting camp that Lu que brought back to the imperial capital, and less than 2000 people in the fast wind Riding Camp. After being incorporated into the Changqing army, the Yulin scouting camp was renamed Changqing scouting camp, and the number of people increased to 2500, while the fast wind Qingqi was renamed Changqing Fengqi camp, and the number of people increased to 3000. In addition, both the thread horned horses of the scouting battalion and the fierce wind beasts of the wind Riding Camp were replenished in place at the first time. This is also the advantage that the Changqing army has over the other 11 legions. As the first army of Daqian, the Changqing army is the best in terms of military equipment and equipment, as well as the salary of Mount troops.

In addition, the soldiers of the Changqing army are different from those of the other 11 legions. The other 11 legions directly recruit men of the right age from the people through the military department of waige, including the Fengxiang army, which is a pro Royal Army. The soldiers of the Changqing army are selected from the other 11 legions. It can be said that they are all composed of veterans who have been to the battlefield and seen blood, These veterans have been in the army for three to five years. It can be said that both physical and mental health and combat skills are at the peak.

After Lu que returned to Beijing, it took less than a month to expand the scouting battalion and Fengqi battalion. He Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan trained for five months according to the previous training methods of Yulin scouting battalion and Fengqi Qingqi. It was only when Lu que transferred He Tao and others and handed over the two battalions to him that the training had just been completed, Although there is still a gap between the two battalions as recruits and the former two battalions in terms of overall ability, this gap is only reflected in the ability of each individual, and there is little difference in the battlefield of tens of thousands of soldiers.

With such an army on the side and the cooperation of the 35000 left army officers of Fengxiang army under the command of Princess Tianxiang, ye Zhiqiu is 70% sure to defeat and annihilate the garrison in the water stronghold even if it is not 30000 but 50000.

At the same time, Chai Yuanjian has returned to the army's big account in Shuizhai. After he got off the horse, he didn't have time to tie up his love horse, so Chai Yuanjian ordered people to ring the drum of Jujiang, and Jujiang raised his account.

After the Chinese army and the battalion commanders of Houying arrived, Chai Yuanjian took a deep breath and said, "as you may have known, Yu Tianxiang of Guangji county has begun to cross the river. There are 36 Fighting Ships and hundreds of walking boats in the whole fleet. Although the number of each other is not known yet, according to the number of ships, the left army of Fengxiang army in Guangji county should be out of action, The number should be more than 30000. "

"General Chai, you are the leader here now. You can give orders directly. I've long wanted these people to know that Tianxing is not so easy to bully. Tianxing soldiers are also famous hot-blooded men. I'd like to take my troops into the wooden wall of the water stronghold to guard against the crossing river Army." A tall and slender general with a pair of arms much longer than ordinary people came out and said.

"General fan is loyal and brave. I heard of the name of general Shenshe when I was in the capital. Since the general also had this idea, I won't say much. The general immediately took his troops to the river bank to reinforce General Chen." Chai Yuanjian took out a command arrow and handed it to fan Zhen. He said, "tell General Chen that I will lead the army in half an hour at most."

"No Fan Zhen took the arrow on one knee, got up and strode away. He was a general of the stars. Naturally, he knew that the army was expensive and fast. Now Daqian's warship had passed the middle of the river, and he could not tolerate any delay.

After fan Zhen left, Chai Yuanjian glanced at the soldiers with different faces in the tent, thought a little, and said, "ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the safety of Tianxing. Whether Tianxing can survive for hundreds of years is up to us, general Qiu of Zuoying."

"The end will come." A big man with stubble on his face took a step forward and saluted.

"You lead 3000 soldiers of the headquarters to stay in the camp."

"What?" Qiu Wenhui looks at Chai Yuanjian in surprise. He really didn't expect that Chai Yuanjian would ask him to stay at this time. You should know that his 3000 swords and spears are the elite soldiers of the Wangdu army. In the ten battalions near the river, his combat power can definitely rank in the top three. If it's a field battle, it's worthy of the first place. Now when Daqian crosses the river, does he want to stay?

"General Qiu, the barracks are as important as the riverbank. I'll take the other six battalions of the Chinese army and the rear army to the riverbank, and I'll give you all the barracks." Chai Yuanjian frowned slightly. Qiu Wenhui was born in the family of Qiu, the king's capital, and his family was as powerful as their Chai family. Moreover, this man's military seniority was deeper than him. If the Qiu family had not chosen neutrality when the four princes won the throne, he would not have been the leader of the water stronghold. If Qiu Wenhui resisted, he really had no good way, Even Yan Wensheng, who is now the star king, can't move easily.

"The end will take orders." Qiu Wenhui stares at Chai Yuanjian for a while. He can see that Chai Yuanjian is in a dilemma. Among the ten battalions in the water village, Chen Guangliang, who guards the wooden wall on the river bank, is the only one who really has the talent to lead the army. Fan Zhen and three of them have just left. Although the rest of them are generals of the first battalion, they all rely on their family power to serve in the army. If these people are allowed to recite the wind and the moon and lean on the red and the green, they are all good at it. But it's up to the ancestors to let them lead the army and resist the enemy. They don't have to be scared to make excrement and urine.

In fact, neither Yan Wensheng, the new king of Tianxing nor Qiu Xu, the commander-in-chief of the southern frontier war, knows what virtues these people are, but they have no choice. Tianxing kingdom is ruled by the royal family and Qing GUI. Without the support of Qing GUI and Hao, Yan Wensheng, the new king of Tianxing, can't recruit so many people to join the army in a short time. These people can serve as the commander of the first battalion, It's just a compromise in the political game.

"The five of you will guard the camp with general Qiu. Your troops will be led by the deputy general. Follow me to the river bank to meet the enemy." Looking at the other five battalion commanders, Chai Yuanjian saw that some of them were worried, some worried, some scared and some said impatiently.

"I will obey you." The five people thought they were going to fight with the big army like a wolf in the battlefield, but Chai Yuanjian made such an arrangement. They were all very happy. In their hearts, they had to save their lives before they could continue to enjoy life. As for the great cause of their family and country, it really had nothing to do with them. As soon as Chai Yuanjian's words came to an end, the five of them bowed to his promise for fear that he would suddenly change his mind.

"You go back to the whole army immediately, and I will only give you a piece of incense time." Chai Yuanjian looked at the deputy general behind the five and said.

"No Several deputy generals looked at each other, saluted and walked out of the barracks.

"Brother Qiu, the camp is up to you." Chai Yuanjian came down from the main position and patted Qiu Wenhui on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm in the main camp. Be careful yourself." Qiu Wenhui held his right hand in Chai Yuanjian's upper arm and said solemnly.
