This time, the troops led by Liu Jingxiao had three infantry battalions, one baggage company and half an artillery company, with a total of more than 2,100 people.

The three infantry battalions were all fully equipped, each with more than 600 people, the baggage company was equipped with more than 30 mules and horses, and the artillery company only brought three two-pound cannons.

The two-pound gun was one of the most successful guns during the Republic. This gun was developed as a new battalion artillery in the fifty years of the Republic. However, many second-rate troops used it as a regiment artillery. The swordsmen from Weibei who were so poor that they even used it as a division artillery.

The gun has a relatively close range and is small enough to provide firepower support to infantry. Its biggest feature is that it is low price, easy to manufacture, and barely qualified performance. It only costs thirty smoothbore guns to buy a two-pound gun. Moreover, the gun is lightweight, four horses can carry it and two horses can carry it, making it very convenient to operate in mountains.

However, the three cannons assigned to Liu Jingxiao have been used for many years and have been eliminated from the main force of the Fengtian Army. The wear and tear is quite strong, and the range and power must be greatly reduced from the theoretical value.

The march went quite smoothly. The three battalion commanders cooperated with Liu Jingxiao very well, and nothing major happened along the way. However, Liu Jingxiao and Wanyan Yuzhuo's relationship became better and better. They could be called "glue and lacquer". Within two days, the entire army advanced to Linxi County.

Linxi County is Linxi Town, with endless business and travel, which is quite prosperous. It is adjacent to the Great Xing'an Mountains in the south, to the Xilamulun River in the north, to the Keshketeng in the west, to the Balin in the east, to the right, to the Daxingan Mountains in the east, to the Daxingan Mountains in the west, to the Daxingan Mountains through Linxi, which is the so-called "Lingbei", also known as "bashang". It is the Thousand Mile Plateau and the road that Liu Jingxiao came to Chifeng.

Linxi is the key point of Chifeng. If you occupy Linxi, you will control most of Chifeng. Chifeng is always the first line of defense outside Beijing. It is only 360 miles away from the outside. However, it is less than a thousand miles from Chifeng to Beijing. It can be reached by light cavalry for a few days. Therefore, the military book says, "If you guard Daning, you will go east to Jiyong, and you will rely on your horns in the west." Daning is Chifeng, and military strategists have always believed that if you guard Beijing, you must guard Chifeng. This is a place that the enemy and us must fight for. If you occupy this place, you can connect North China and Northeast. If you lose this place, the enemy can split the connection between North China and Northeast.

According to Liu Jingxiao's plan, the entire army first rested in Linxi for one day, purchased military supplies and replenished grain and ammunition. In addition, the cash received by each battalion from Chifeng a few days ago had been almost spent. Linxi happened to have a branch of Northeast Industrial Bank, which happened to receive several thousand yuan for military supplies. Liu Jingxiao also planned to pay two yuan of military salary each.

Wanyan Yuzhuo and Liu Jingxiao led a small team of people to the front, and all mules and horses were used to carry supplies, so Liu Jingxiao had to walk.

However, this is also the opportunity for Guo Junqing to create a marriage relationship for Liu Jingxiao, so that everyone can avoid it and let him hold Wanyan Yuzhuo's hand and move forward together. Although this pair of good friends did not have cheap vows, they felt like they were covered with honey in their hearts, and they unknowingly talked about Lin Xi's scenery.

Since ancient times, the Linxi area has been a must-fight for military strategists. There are many old cities along the way. Chifeng was originally a place where the Khitan Dragons rose. The upper capital and the middle capital are all located in Chifeng, which can be regarded as extremely prosperous. Later, when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty failed to fight against Alutai, he died on the way back in the Linxi Yumuchuan.

Liu Jingxiao then talked about the old stories of the Khitans for Wanyan Yuzhuo, and mixed a few love words like "The scenery here is so good, it would be great if I could be here for the rest of my life." Wanyan Yuzhuo heard it very interesting. The ruins of palaces could be seen everywhere along the way, but they all turned into broken walls and tiles. The prosperity of the past was no longer seen, which made Wanyan Yuzhuo feel like the world of change. When asked Liu Jingxiao, he realized that this was built by the Khitans, but it was mostly destroyed by war later.

Liu Jingxiao has the talent for telling stories. When he told boring and difficult old things, he could hear Wanyan Yuzhu's eyebrows stretching and showing a rare smile. Seeing this, Liu Jingxiao worked harder.

As he was speaking, a sound of horse hooves came from the front. Liu Jingxiao looked along the sound of horse hooves and saw two strong horses coming. The horse knight was wearing military uniforms, not old, and felt a sense of weakness. It seemed to be coming towards him, so he signaled everyone to gather together.

The two riders rushed to Liu Jingxiao and then pulled the reins vigorously. The dust raised from the horse's hooves splattered the front row of officers and soldiers, which made Guo Junqing feel heartbroken and sad that he bought the newly-built military uniform in Chifeng. The man led by the knight shouted: "Who is the head here?"

This man was quite rude when he spoke. Liu Jingxiao was very well-educated. He took a step forward and saluted, saying, "I'm going to get down to Liu Jingxiao, the infantry commander of the First Division of the Dingbian Army Recha Division, who is your lord?"

The two of them neither respected nor dismounted. They looked at Liu Jingxiao with contempt and said, "We are from the First Division of Rehe."

Liu Jingxiao said politely: "Hello!" But the two of them didn't reply, just sat on the horse, raising their chests high, and were extremely arrogant and rude.

Liu Jingxiao could still bear it. Seeing that her husband was humiliated, Wanyan Yuzhuo looked at the two officers again. When the two officers saw that there was a charming beauty in the other team, they stared at Wanyan Yuzhuo without any concern. Seeing this, Liu Jingxiao finally broke out: "Which unit is from? You can't even treat your superiors?"

He had already seen that these two officers were majors, and his own rank was a wartime colonel. Although it was a temporary rank that the general's office did not recognize, it was estimated that the other party also had a temporary rank, and it would be nice to have a captain in the formal rank.

The knight in charge was still standing on the horse and said in a slight tone: "I heard that the Dingbian army has produced an infantry commander who is still stinky, it turns out that it is true!"

At this moment, the subsequent troops followed. Xiao Rulang heard an accident in front of him and rushed up. He happened to hear the words of the leader's knight. This sentence was not only disrespectful, but also disrespectful to the Dingbian Army. They all started to attack one after another and stared at the two of them. The leader's knight knew that it had aroused public anger and was not afraid at first, but seeing more and more people surrounding him, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The man behind him saw this scene and jumped off the horse and said, "We are the staff of the division headquarters of the First Rehe Division. My name is Lu Li, and he is Chen Guangming. You don't have to go to Linxi!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but burst into noise, and Liu Jingxiao couldn't help asking: "Why?"

According to his plan, before the entire army marched into Lingbei, he had to go to Linxi to replenish it and then withdraw some cash. If he could not go to Linxi to replenish it, he was really not sure to lead this army to meet the cavalry battalion.

Chen Guangming still did not get off his horse and said in the tone of the superior: "Linxi trade is prosperous, but the border military discipline is not satisfactory. Our division responds to the people's calls and asks your troops to go with ease."

The Dingbian Army lacks funds, so it is normal for the military discipline to be slightly worse. According to conventional infantry registrars, the menstrual funding of the first infantry regiment should be around 21,000 yuan. Although the Dingbian Army has the scale of a strengthening regiment, the monthly funding is only 10,000 yuan, and the funds can only be filled. Therefore, it is not uncommon for officers and soldiers to force themselves to buy and sell, but bad phenomena such as bullying men and overbearing women have not occurred.

Liu Jingxiao also believed that his military discipline was good. In his heart, Major Chen Guangming was simply turning black and white. With a wave of his hand, Guo Junqing understood what he meant and pulled out his pistol. Seeing all this, Xiao Rulang also shouted: "Get the bayonet!"
