Chapter 114 The millions of troops of the Northern Barbarians came to the gate!
"The six counties have begun recruiting civilians to escort the grain northward." Chen Gong nodded.
"Go ahead and arrange it. Each county will mobilize enough food to feed 5000 people for two months. Remember, they need refined food, and they will be secretly escorted to the No. C military formation!" Chu Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Also, there are 10 taels of silver to escort the iron ore!"
"Follow the order!"
After that, Chen Gong began to write the secret letter. Since Chen Gong was born, Chu Jiang stopped writing the secret letter himself and left all the power to Chen Gong to write it.
For six counties, two months of food for each county is enough to feed 5000 people for a that Chu Jiang's forces have just begun to take shape, Chu Jiang is preparing to summon an army in the C-shaped military formation, an army composed entirely of Youwu guardsmen, an army that is completely loyal to Chu Jiang.
At present, there are many soldiers summoned by Chujiang, but they are all distributed among the Liangshan Army as generals, and there is no army composed entirely of was scattered among the Liangshan Army. Although they secretly controlled many armies, it also affected the elite level of the army.
Sometimes the army is spread out and commanding a larger army, and the combat effectiveness that explodes may not be as good as that of well-trained elites.
Chu Jiang had wanted to do this for a long time, but because there was not enough food in Military Town C, he had no choice but to give up the all, an army cannot be raised just by asking. Raising soldiers requires a lot of money. Even if Youwuwei does not need military pay, he must at least have food.
When the number of people in No. C Military Town was the largest, there were nearly a hundred more military guards. This was the limit that No. B Military Town could accommodate. If there were any more, the food would be exhausted. This is also The reason why Chujiang did not leave a large number of soldiers in military towns in the later food allocated by the imperial court was only enough for five hundred soldiers.
……
As time passed, the prime men of the Northern Barbarian tribes began to gather. The dense army pressed towards the border. The entire Northern Territory suddenly became filled with smoke. A large amount of food was pulled out of the warehouse and continuously sent to the major cities in the Northern Territory. Among them, there are also expendable weapons such as rolling stones, hammering wood, and feather arrows.
Everyone in the entire Northern Territory is preparing for the upcoming war. The three hundred miles of fortresses in the Northern Territory, every city, and every military town are filled with the sound of sharpening knives during the day. Not only the army sergeants, but also The young people in the city.
The young men in the border towns are citizens in their leisure time and soldiers in time of like in the No. C military town in Chujiang, there are only 500 soldiers, but there are 1000 young and strong people. Once the situation is critical, these young and strong soldiers will be the soldiers!
In this tense atmosphere, half a month passed by in a flash.
Dayan is a hundred miles north!
Endless camps stand on the grassland as far as the eye can see. The endless camps stretch for nearly a hundred miles. From a high altitude, the area of the densely packed camps of the Northern Barbarians is even seven or eight times larger than that of Liangshan City! In the middle of the camp, there was a large tent that was ten times larger than an ordinary tent. Surrounding the tent were guards with sharp eyes and burly front of the big tent, a three-meter-long flag was erected. On it were written the three characters of King Xiutu in barbarian script. At the top of the flagpole, a lifelike golden goshawk spread its wings and was about to fly!
The Golden Eagle Flag of the Northern Barbarians, this is the symbol of the Royal Court of the Northern Barbarians. This is the flag of the Northern Barbarian King, the royal flag of King Xiutu of the Northern Barbarians. The king's flag is here, which means that King Xiutu of the Northern Barbarians is also here! Inside the big tent, the entire tent floor was covered with wolf skins. The interior of the huge tent was as grand as a palace, and the interior was extremely luxurious. At the top of the big tent, a burly man with a golden sword sat on a snow-white bearskin chair. Six small caves were set up below, and six barbarians were sitting on the couches. One of them was the Northern Barbarian Natuhou who had fought Wang Hu before - Tieying! "See the great King Xiutu, according to your instructions, millions of cavalry have been assembled and ready to attack at any time!" A general wearing leather armor saluted respectfully.
King Xiutu's eyes lit up instantly, and a fierce momentum like a ferocious beast swept out, "Okay!"
"You six, two of you can deal with one state, Beiliang Qianshan Pass, I will deal with it myself!" "Yes!"
The six princes who sat down behind Xiaotan stood up immediately and said.
King Xiutu led a group of princes to the front of the big tent. Looking at the endless tents in front of him, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted: "Bring out the camp!"
With the blessing of Gang Qi, King Xiutu's voice spread throughout the camp like thunder. As King Xiutu's voice fell, desolate horns suddenly sounded throughout the camp, and a large number of northern barbarian soldiers began to move.
After a while, the entire camp was divided into seven parts. One king's flag and six Hou's flags were flapping in the wind. The army was divided into three parts and each attacked the three states to the north of Dayan.
Wanren City! Wei Tian walked quickly to Wei Yuan, clasped his fists and saluted: "Father, the Northern Man King has dispatched [-] cavalry, and each of the six major princes has dispatched [-] cavalry. In addition to the recruited small and large tribesmen, there are a million troops in total. Come knocking at the gate!"
As the Northern Barbarian army was about to knock on the gate, Wei Tian couldn't stay in Liangshan City any longer. He didn't care about finding any hidden forces, and after using his momentum to intimidate, he immediately returned to Wanren City.
Wei Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, "A million-strong army is knocking on the gate. There hasn't been such a big movement in the Northern Barbarians for several years. It seems that the new King Xiutu's cultivation has broken through to the True Gang Realm."
"Pass my military order, Murong Han... and six others will go to the northern frontline to take charge. You stay and take charge of Wanren City while I go to Qianshan Pass!"
"Yes, General!" Upon hearing the word "military order", Wei Tian immediately changed his foster father's name to "General".
"Also, no one is allowed to mobilize the Zhenbei Army without my order. Remember, it's anyone!" Wei Yuan said seriously.
"Yes, the general is here, please don't worry, general. The general only recognizes the tiger talisman of the general, and ignores the rest!"
At the same time, No. C Military Town!
Chu Jiang's face changed slightly when he looked at the information he had just received. A million troops came to the gate. This time, the Northern Barbarians actually went to war in such a big way!
There is a battle before winter starts and a battle after winter ends. From time to time in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, small groups of Northern Barbarians go south to fight against the autumn wind. This is the traditional habit of Northern Barbarians.
And often the battle after winter is the battle in which the Northern Barbarians invest the most is a saying in the northern barbarians that the battle before winter is the hibernation of winter, just like the hibernation of wild beasts.
The battle at the end of winter is the first battle of the new year. It is a battle that inspires morale and blood. It is a battle that awakens the blood that has been frozen by the cold. It is also a battle that is willing to sacrifice for the people in the previous tribe. The old man's fight for revenge.
Therefore, when winter is over and spring has not yet arrived, it is the most dangerous and cruel time in the entire northern border! (End of this chapter)
