Chapter 542
Chapter 542
In fact, don't look at the lively fighting of Daqian in the south, but the situation of the Han army is actually very good.
But the situation of the Han army in northern Xinjiang is not like this. At least the Guiyi Brigade is about to face the enemy's pressure.
"How's it going? Do you have enough arrows in reserve?"
"That's enough, that's enough. The combat rations include 16 arrows, which is plenty!"
"It's not enough. Let's add more. Let everyone work hard and reserve more arrows, and strive to reserve 20 arrows!"
"How are the arrows used by the militia prepared?"
"It's about the same. Although the types are single and the sizes are different, the quantity is enough to ensure that every archer has a pot of arrows."
"It's not enough, keep stocking up."
Under the rule of the Guiyi Brigade, it can be said that all the common people who could be mobilized were mobilized. The militiamen gathered for training, the soldiers trained frantically, and others built fortifications and made simple weapons.
It can be said that before the enemy arrived, the Han army had mobilized [-] people to prepare hard for the war.
Not only that, a large amount of food began to be transported into the city to ensure food reserves.
In this way, there are enough people, enough weapons, and high enough walls to resist the enemy until the beginning of next spring.
Moreover, northern Xinjiang has a lot of wind and snow in winter. In theory, there will be no war in winter.
It's freezing cold today, and when the cold wind blows, it feels like your ears will freeze off. Even if the boiling water is poured out and it won't turn into ice crystals, it will definitely turn into cold water after it hits the ground.
If you enter thirty-nine days, some drops of water turn into ice, some pee turns into pillars, or some unbelievers insist on sticking out their tongues to lick the frozen sword.
In short, one word is highlighted, that is ‘cold’.
And in this weather, no one wants to go to war.
Not to mention the cold weather and the thick snow, it would be difficult to tell where the road was, and no one knew what was ahead.
In this case, everyone must retreat.
So don’t think that the Guiyi Brigade is in danger, but in fact as long as they can persist until the first snow in winter, they can win with the weather.
Even if the Rakshasa barbarian bastard is determined to besiege the Guiyi Brigade, the Guiyi Brigade is just indifferent to this.
Anyway, they weren't the ones suffering the cold outside.
It is more in line with the interests of the Guiyi Brigade.
If nothing else, it is said that the other nobles of the Rakshasa Barbarians were jealous of Viscount Henrietta and felt that his distribution was unfair, so that they blocked his march and bought a lot of time for the Guiyi Brigade.
If these Rakshasa nobles can drag the so-called Viscount Henrietta until winter, then their Guiyi Brigade will not have to fight this year.
Although it's a bit wishful thinking, I don't mind thinking about such a sweet dream in my spare time.
But this was just a dream after all. Viscount Henrietta did not know what price it cost, but he persuaded most people and opened the marching channel.
"The war is coming!" This was the answer given by the Guiyi Brigade's generals.
"All the scouts are withdrawn to detect the enemy's movements."
"The cavalry is ready. As long as the enemy has a small team that is alone, they will attack quickly to eat them!"
"Arrange for everyone to enter the city without any delay. Make sure there are no more of our people outside!"
"Have all the children been sent away? We need to solve the worries of all the soldiers and civilians!"
"Everyone, this is a big battle, the biggest battle since the Guiyi Brigade entered northern Xinjiang."
"Although we are defending the city, brothers, we must fight hard and beat the enemy hard, so that we can gain peace!"
For a time, many orders were passed around the Guiyi Brigade station, and then the propaganda reached the ears of every common people.
It can be said that all the soldiers and civilians of the Guiyi Brigade are ready to defeat the Rakshasa Man.
Not long after, less than five days later, a Rakshasa barbarian army that was attacking the Guiyi Brigade hurried to the county town closest to the Guiyi Brigade, and then simply prepared the army and replenished the food and grass. , and couldn’t wait to move towards the Guiyi Brigade.
This army was that of the younger Baron Henrietta, son of Viscount Henrietta.
This team consists of a baron's private army and three knight armies, with a total of 2000 people.
As for the armor coverage, it's not average.
They rushed towards the Guiyi Brigade in such a hurry, instead of waiting for the reinforcements to gather before attacking. They obviously regarded the Guiyi Brigade as a soft persimmon like Daqian.
Seeing this, after confirming that the enemy had no follow-up reinforcements and no traps, Lin Shi's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted to the first battalion:
"Mingzhi, Li Yunlong!"
"exist!"
"Aren't you eager to fight? Now I'll give you a mission to wipe out this so-called baron army. Can you do it?"
Mingzhi and Li Yunlong were delighted when they heard this and immediately saluted and issued military orders.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Jiejiu, if my First Battalion cannot destroy them with this small force, I will pluck my head and let you kick it as a ball!"
Lin Shi laughed and scolded: "Go away, what do I want with your head? Remember, destroy them!!"
The two said in unison: "Yes!"
The two of them took the order and hurried out, and soon the first battalion left the city and rushed towards the incoming Rakshasa army.
One thing I have to say here is that in this environment, the Guiyi Brigade's investigation is obviously better than that of the Rakshasa Man.
For example, the Rakshasa Man didn't know that the Guiyi Brigade had sent troops, and they were still pulling the long team to continue marching.
However, this advantage is actually not too obvious. At least these Rakshasa barbarians have fought in battles. Even if they are underestimating the enemy, they still have the necessary scouts.
After all, these nobles value their lives more than their enjoyment.
Perhaps it was because of the rapid advance of the Rakshasa barbarians that the Han army had no time to set up an ambush and could only attack directly and then fight hard.
Therefore, after the Han army reached the sight of its scouts, the Rakshasa barbarian army had already begun to form a formation to respond.
This is a mountainous area, so in order to march better, the army must walk along the road. The same is true for the cities built by the Han army. There must be roads connecting each other. This is the lifeline and cannot be careless.
"This group of people is very courageous!"
Listening to the scout's report, young Baron Henrietta couldn't help but look solemn. He was not a novice. Although he looked down on the Daqian army, he still valued the Daqian army that took the initiative.
Not because of anything else, but because the large army that defended the city were all weaklings and cowards. When they saw them, they didn't dare to let go of their arrows, so they abandoned the city and ran for their lives.
But what is different from them are those large-scale armies that take the initiative. These armies are still bloody and often dare to fight and die. The servant armies that have fought several times collapse.
Even in the end, the nobles led their elites to expel or kill him, but they postponed the attack because of the fluctuation of people's hearts, and once extended Daqian's life for a long time.
The reason why they occupied northern Xinjiang instead of going south again was because there were not enough people in their own country, but they also wanted to avoid forcing Daqian to win.
After all, Northern Xinjiang is actually relatively close to the capital of Daqian. Who knows if continuing southward to Daqian will explode, and then directly push them back.
If something like this really happens, the land they currently occupy may be lost, which is something they don't want to do.
Therefore, if you don't use a treaty to drain his blood, he will be devoured later when his morale is weak.
Of course, these are secondary wishes. The real reason is that there are too many people in Daqian, and His Majesty is uneasy!
"Line up and prepare for battle!"
Soon, some members of the Rakshasa barbarian army walked down the road, and then began to form formations in the valley, quietly waiting for the Guiyi Brigade.
At the same time, their scouts began to dispatch frequently, vowing to make the battlefield transparent.
