Chapter 16 Review
During these three months, Xu Haifeng had not taken a step forward in the military camp. He could only feel a little safe when surrounded by the soldiers. He was not sure where he provoked Gu Dashen, but the obvious affirmation was related to Qin Yong's eye-catching performance that day. He even guessed an idea that he couldn't believe but was closest to the facts. Jealousy, Gu Dashen was jealous of his subordinates having such excellent warriors.
Although he has barely entered the ranks of generals now, compared with the commander of the entire Western Front camp, his agent is not even a big deal. He has thought of anesthetized with blood wine. But first of all, he has no chance, and secondly, he knows the sequelae of blood wine. If the ancient Taoist beard suddenly becomes his follower or becomes unaware of it, then the entire Western Front may be all messed up, and the Caesars will eventually benefit. Even without the threat of the Caesars, such a commander can immediately see the flaws, and how can he justify himself at that time? Therefore, Xu Haifeng will throw this idea behind him.
He made up his mind to minimize the chances of meeting Gu Daoyan in the future, and to be low-key and low-key in dealing with people. In short, he could no longer add any thoughts to Gu Daoyan that were unfavorable to him.
Although Xu Haifeng was working behind closed doors and ignored the outside world during this period, it was difficult to know such earth-shaking things as the imperial army personally fought. The great camp reported three times a day. His Majesty the Emperor finally came to the front line a month and a half ago, and brought the Huanglong Legion, the imperial guards, which were said to be the best equipped and the strongest training among the five legions. With the concerted efforts of the second legions, the Caesars' defense line collapsed, and the Han army defeated one town after another, captured thousands of enemy troops, and seized countless money and food. This situation was not curbed until half a month ago.
Before reaching the border of the Han Dynasty, the Caesars destroyed the Tufan Kingdom. In order to attack the Han Dynasty, they used the capital of Tufan, Lin'an City, as the temporary base camp in the east. They hoarded countless supplies over the years and expanded it once. When the Caesars received the news of the defeat on the whole line, they knew that the defeat could not be restored, so they issued an order to shrink the entire line. Most of the elite Caesars gathered in Lin'an City. At present, there were no less than 100,000 Caesar's regular army in the city. In addition, merchants, fugitives, etc. from the east, the young and middle-aged people who could fight were more than 150,000.
The Han army was able to achieve such brilliant results successfully, which was closely related to the Caesars' active avoidance of war. The defenders in many places were simply the Tufan people conquered by the Caesars. They were far from the second legion in terms of equipment, morale and combat capabilities. The Han army had surrendered more than those who resisted.
Lin'an City is a crucial checkpoint at the junction of the East and the West. The Han army finally inevitably came to this magnificent and majestic city.
Here, the two armies encountered unprecedented strong resistance. Only then did they know what kind of fish troops they had encountered before. The real elite Caesars were definitely no worse than them. The Han army successively reinforced. When His Majesty the Emperor and his generals came to the city, the total strength of the Han army had reached a terrifying 250,000. However, the Caesars were prepared for a long time. They responded calmly and were not arrogant or impatient. In addition, the city was sufficient supplies. After half a month, the Han army suffered heavy casualties because they were attacking the city. If this continues, I am afraid that before the Caesars die, the Han army will finish the game first. With no choice, His Majesty the Emperor had to order the attack to be suspended, and the situation was in a stalemate.
Under such circumstances, Xu Haifeng welcomed the first general to visit him in three months.
"General Tong, why do you have time to come to my small place to wander?" He held Tong Yifeng's hand intimately. If someone who didn't know about it looked at it, he would think the relationship between the two was so good. In fact, the relationship between the two was really good, at least he could be called a friend of wine and meat.
Tong Yifeng sighed and said, "I'm going to tell you my brother, our logistics department has been busy these days, so who can still have that leisure time?"
Xu Haifeng nodded sympathetically and said, as long as he thinks about the things consumed by the Han army more than 300,000 troops every day, as well as countless chaotic matters such as prisoners and occupied areas, they must belong to the Logistics Department. Xu Haifeng knew that his words were not exaggerated at all.
"I came here to see how my three-month training results are like." When the two arrived at the tent, Tong Yifeng sat down and drank the fragrant tea delivered by the personal guards before he spoke out his meaning.
"Oh, three months have arrived, but why did the Military Department send you here?" Xu Haifeng asked strangely, knowing that the Operations Department and the Logistics Department are two different things. There are a lot of generals who can be accepted. When will it be the turn of a logistics department to inspect the future?
"Oh, don't mention it. Your Majesty was frustrated this time. Long Yan was furious and gave the death order. If Lin'an was not defeated, all the generals and officials were not allowed to return. If I were not from the Logistics Department, I really wouldn't dare to come to you. Now, General Gu knew that I was going back to dispatch a batch of supplies, so he ordered me to come here to visit. If your army has been on the table, then let you go to Lin'an City with my baggage team."
Xu Haifeng frowned, and Tong Yifeng said it relaxed. What does it mean to be on the table? Isn’t it obvious that he looks down on his own troops? But it cannot be blamed for him. No matter who he is, if he knows that Xu Haifeng’s subordinates are only three thousand slave soldiers and has only been under three months of training, he may have been too much after a glance. He dares to slap his chest immediately and make a promise to ensure that these people have no combat power.
"Since that's the case, please ask General Tong to review the troops first. If you think it's OK, let's go on the road."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here. You can let them line up first. Is half an hour enough?"
Xu Haifeng's breathing was suffocated. If it took half an hour to line up, it would be better not to go to the battlefield for such an army, otherwise it would be possible to die and even drag down friendly forces. His mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile with difficulty, saying, "It should be enough." After that, he waved to Lin Changkong behind him and said, "Order the troops to line up."
Lin Changkong bowed and did not speak, and went out of the tent directly.
Tong Yifeng sat in the chair, chatting with Xu Haifeng in a mess, and was actually listening to the movements outside the door, but since Lin Changkong went out, he became a stone to throw the sea, without any news. There was no sound of the army gathering outside the door. Five minutes later, he couldn't help but care and said: "Brother, your subordinate doesn't seem to be in charge. You'd better go there yourself, or let Qin Yong come forward, he should be able to suppress the slaves killed these days."
Xu Haifeng smiled jokingly and said, "Maybe, why not ask General Tong to go out with me?"
Tong Yifeng shook his head secretly, thinking to himself whether you really don’t understand or not. I’m doing this to let you go. If I let me go out together, I can’t shirk responsibility. I have to tell the truth, I’m sorry to you. He thought to himself, opened the door of the tent, looked up, and suddenly his whole body trembled, his feet became weak, and he almost couldn’t stand it.
It turned out that outside his empty tent when he first entered the camp, there were countless men with strong and murderous intent standing. Although these people were just empty-handed, they held their hands behind their backs, looked straight ahead, and stood in parallel with their legs. The neat queue had a fierce murderous aura. What was most shocking was the eyes of these people. Their eyes were filled with tyrannical aura that destroyed everything. Looking at Tong Yifeng's eyes seemed to be looking at a corpse, and there was no other expression. If only one person was like this, it would not be worth making a fuss. If ten people were like this, it would only be a little surprised. But if hundreds of people and thousands of people had this look at this at the same time, the pressure formed would be to an unimaginable level. It is extremely rare for Tong Yifeng to remain standing in such a situation.
"General Xu, is this... this... your... your slave soldiers?" Tong Yifeng asked stammered. He was trapped by the powerful military power in front of him, and he was no longer as calm as before.
"It is the fifth column of the young general, and I want to ask General Tong for more advice." Xu Haifeng said proudly.
"When did they...when did they come out?"
"Huh? General Tong forgot? Didn't I just ask him to order the queue in front of you?" Xu Haifeng pointed at Lin Changkong in surprise and said, "He felt secretly happy. Who made you look down on my team? Now I'll give you an unexpected surprise, let's see if you dare to do this again."
Looking at the majestic team in front of him, Tong Yifeng couldn't believe his eyes. He had served in the logistics department for many years, and he had seen many soldiers forming what kind of team. However, the team in front of him was a iron-blooded lion that had experienced many battles. However, three months ago, they were just one of the slave camps. Such a drastic change occurred in such a short time, which completely subverted his perception and could not say anything for a moment.
"General Tong, in your opinion, can I still get on the table?" Xu Haifeng asked boldly.
"If they can't do it, then I think there is probably no team in this world that can be on the table." Tong Yifeng said bitterly, looking at the young Xu Haifeng in front of him. At this moment, the rising sun emitted a soft light from behind Xu Haifeng, bathing him in the warm and comfortable sunlight. However, in Tong Yifeng's eyes, he felt that this young general who always brought miracles was emitting brilliant light, and it became more and more intense, and it gradually became as bright as the sun.
