Chapter 201 Going to Fuping
On the fourth year of Xuanwu, on the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen left Tongguan and returned to Chang'an!
He left on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month. Late at the third night of the first lunar month, waves of emergency gatherings came from the military camps dozens of miles around Tongguan!
Originally, the sound of an ordinary emergency gathering was the sound of a bamboo whistle, but this time it was the sound of a war drum! In the night, the dull drum sounded, and the entire Tongguan was shaken!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao are no longer soldiers. They are now lieutenants, but the commander of the first regiment! As for Wang Ying, he is the deputy general, and the commander of the first army! The new recruits are different from veterans. The commander of the new recruits is still one level shorter than that of the veteran commander!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao had already gotten up as soon as possible and put on their clothes. They had already run out of the military camp as fast as possible!
After they arrived outside, countless soldiers were also coming in this direction!
"Hurry! Complete the team immediately! Points!" After the three-way drum, Yang Zheng and Liang Hao's new recruits had all arrived, and Yang Zheng hurriedly issued an order!
His soldiers began to complete the team, with points, and in the shortest time, Yang Zheng confirmed that all the people had arrived!
The entire No. 1 recruits are doing this!
"General, everyone has arrived! No one is behind!" Wang Ying stood there, and a captain ran to Wang Ying and said.
"Very good! The sound of war drums rang out late at night, and that was an urgent matter! The orders above will be conveyed soon! Passing my order, all the soldiers will immediately prepare weapons, food, supplies, and we will set off soon!" Wang Ying said.
The captain immediately conveyed the order, and the soldiers of the First Army of the recruits quickly executed the order!
Half an hour later, the first new recruits began to move, and they headed towards the northwest!
Just as the first new recruits set off, almost all the troops within dozens of miles around Tongguan began to take action!
The imperial guards originally had 50,000 people, plus the 100,000 young people who were added, a total of 150,000 people! Now 140,000 of them have begun to move towards the northwest! Only 10,000 veterans stayed in Tongguan to defend Tongguan!
Yue Fei was riding on the horse, and there were several generals in armor beside him, and these generals were frowning!
"Brother, are you sure the Jin soldiers are going to advance to the Fuping area?" said a young man in his early twenties.
If Zhao Chen was here, he would definitely recognize this young man! It turned out that this person was Zhang Xian, the brothers and brothers of Yue Fei who followed Zhao Chen to Tongguan! The three most famous generals in the Yue family army in history, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian! Yue Fei is the head coach, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian is the deputy commander. At this moment, Wang Gui is still in Hedong, and Zhang Xian has returned!
"The first target of the Jin soldiers landed from Longmen is Chang'an! The location of Chang'an is extremely important, and it is the center of Guanshan! If they want to go to Chang'an, they must go from Longmen to Fuping! Let's hurry to Fuping now and stand in front of them!" Yue Fei said.
Zhang Xian nodded!
Both Yue Fei and Zhang Xian were a little worried. They didn't expect that the Jurchens would land in the Longmen! Yue Fei secretly blamed himself, thinking that it was a huge mistake to not defend the Longmen Ferry! When Li Yuan landed from there, he actually ignored this matter!
"But we are different from before. Our current forces are far greater than before! I believe that Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, and Shaanxi Imperial Army must have received news, and they will also go south! We have so many armies together, so there is no problem if we want to destroy the invading Jurchen!" Yue Fei said.
The so-called Shaanxi Imperial Guard is the army under Li Xianzhong! Li Xianzhong originally had 36 rebels and 360,000 soldiers and horses, but now after simplification, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses left. These 100,000 soldiers and horses are also given the title of "Imperial Guard". Li Xianzhong is the commander of the Shaanxi Imperial Guard!
*******
It was snowing heavily in the sky, and the soldiers strode forward!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao followed the team, and he was urging the soldiers to move forward!
"The Jurchens landed in Longmen, and they have already captured Hancheng! I heard that their number is at least 100,000! The Jurchens are invincible. With so many Jurchens, are we their opponents?" Liang Hao said with some concern.
"We will definitely be able to defeat them! Your Majesty once said that our army has the spirit of moving forward. It must overwhelm all enemies and never be surrendered by the enemy! Why do you say that the Jurchens are invincible? Didn't General Yue defeat the Jurchens at the beginning? Those were just the Jurchens bragging about, don't be afraid!" Yang Zheng said.
"I'm still a little worried. We are all new recruits, and the training time is too short! The 100,000 Jurchen soldiers fought south and north, fighting from thousands of miles away to the Central Plains, from Liao to our Song Dynasty. Their combat experience is really rich! Our combat experience is not as good as theirs!" Liang Hao said.
"You are too timid!" Yang Zheng shouted.
"I am not timid, I am just worried! I am not afraid of death. I believe that none of my brothers are afraid of death. I am just afraid that we will be in panic and it is not worth it to die! If one life can be exchanged for one life and ten thousand people, I will die willingly!" Liang Hao said.
"You two boys, don't talk too much! When you arrive on the battlefield, as long as you follow me, just move forward and don't think about anything, we will definitely be able to defeat them!" At this time, Wang Ying came to them and said with a smile.
This is a newly established army. When facing war, the generals of the army were nervous. This is a very common thing. At this moment, Wang Ying is doing the work of the generals in the army!
"Remember the simple military tactics in infantry exercises, remember how to contact and cooperate on the battlefield! When we arrive on the battlefield, we recruits only need to accept the above orders! General Yue is like a god. Following General Yue, he will definitely be able to defeat the Jurchens!" Wang Ying said.
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao nodded one after another!
On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, the army did not rest at all and went forward!
On the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, the army rested in a leeward place for half an hour. During this half hour, they ate something. Some soldiers seized the time to boil water. They could finally drink some warm water and continue moving forward!
On the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, they were still moving forward bravely in the wind and snow!
On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, they rested for half an hour again. On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, they finally arrived at the east of Fuping County!
For two days and two nights, they almost had no rest and drove the four hundred miles of road! The ancient roads were very different from the current roads. They were much more difficult to walk than the current roads, and it was ice and snowy weather, so the road was even more difficult!
The senior officials of the imperial guards, including Yue Fei, were very satisfied with such achievements!
The First New Army of Recruitment had arrived at the designated location above. The soldiers rushed on their way for two days and two nights, and were extremely tired at this moment, but the order above was that they could never rest!
"We have given us an hour! After an hour, the Jin soldiers will come here! At this hour, everyone drinks some hot water and polishes their weapons! Boys, your first battle is coming!" Wang Ying came to the middle of the soldiers and said loudly.
Some of the soldiers were nervous, some were excited, and some were frightened! They were all very nervous!
"Are you afraid?" Wang Ying laughed.
"Not afraid!" But the sound is not very neat, and the sound is not very loud!
"Are you afraid?" Wang Ying shouted coldly.
"Not afraid!" This time the sound was much louder!
"Yes, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! As long as you are a human being, you will die one day! It's just the difference between dying early and late! Some people are mediocre all their lives, dying on the kang at home. Who remembers him after they die? What's the point of such death? Even if we die, our names will be engraved in the Martyrs' Temple. Our descendants of the Han people will always remember our names and achievements! Do you think so?" Wang Ying said.
"Yes!" the soldiers said in unison.
"So, don't be afraid of death! At most, you will be a hero again in twenty years! We are men, man, you have to show off your man, man!" Wang Ying laughed.
The soldiers below laughed together!
The soldiers were a little nervous and nervous, but they suddenly relaxed! Seeing this look, Wang Ying showed a sincere smile on her face!
"After this battle, I don't know how many soldiers died here! They are all my brothers, so I will try my best to make them die less here! I must work hard to move forward and set an example! On the battlefield, the braver you are, the more you can survive!" Wang Ying kept cheering himself up!
Among the 140,000 soldiers, 40,000 were veterans of the Imperial Guards! Twenty thousand of the 40,000 were cavalry! Last year, Yue Fei carefully trained cavalry after getting tens of thousands of war horses from the Jin soldiers. These 20,000 cavalry are considered the elite among the elites. Every warrior has carefully selected them, regardless of their physical condition and mental realm, which is the strongest group of people in the Imperial Guards! However, at present, these 20,000 cavalry have not been seen, and Wang Ying and others have not seen these 20,000 cavalry along the way!
The sky became darker and darker, and the sounds in the imperial guards gradually stopped, and the surroundings became more and more depressed!
