The 257th chapter closes the heart (1)
Chapter 257: Concentration (1)
In Wolong City, although everyone knows that the war is coming, there is no tense atmosphere in the city where storms are about to come and plants are soldiers.
Whether it is the direction of the sound of the road or the prosperity of the road, it has done a good job in calming people's hearts.
On the left side of the city are the 20,000 front troops of the Sky Eagle Legion, which is located on the right side, and on the right are more than 30,000 elite cavalry withdrawn from the northern camp.
After the Northern Camp suffered this disaster, only more than 20,000 people were able to return to the Western Front. Once they arrived at Wolong City, as Jiang Kongming expected, Xiang Ming naturally took over the command of the troops. Including the five thousand cavalry he had brought, he formed a brand new red ocean with a population of nearly 30,000.
In the battle of the Northern Frontier, although the Northern Camp was lost, there were many people who escaped. Because they wanted to cover Liu Zhengqi and his party, most of the soldiers scattered. After leaving the battlefield, some of them avoided many interceptions and went through a lot of hardships, they finally arrived at the western front again. Therefore, the number of people in the Red Ocean was increasing, and so far it has exceeded 30,000.
These two military forces are extraordinary. They are all elite troops in the Han Empire. Even if they compete head-on with the eight major legions of the Caesars, they will never lose their luster.
In addition, within Wolong City, there are still 30,000 new recruits serving as the city guards.
Although they have never been to the battlefield, all the middle and low-level officers graduated from military academy and trained together for more than a year. Judging from their training results, they are no longer inferior to the elites of the five major legions. Of course, the actual combat effectiveness does not depend on their usual performance, but only after the test of blood and fire can we get the real answer.
What they lack is a war.
Most of the more than 30,000 people were recruited by local people. They were originally the people of the Tufan Kingdom, but under the call of Lin Wanxian, they all joined the army.
If they were loyal to the Han Dynasty and Xu Haifeng, it would be better to say that the target they were loyal to was the princess of the Kingdom, Lin Wanxian.
Jing Ming's attitude towards these 30,000 people was ignored, while Jiang Kongming was very caring. All his salary, equipment and food were treated better than the first-level army, and his treatment was definitely not under the two major legions.
Su Chunwei and others complained about this, but under Xu Haifeng's strong insistence, they were unwilling to break up completely, so they had to make a promise.
If these strength above the signs is not enough to calm people's hearts, then the Black Flag Army hidden in the Taihang Mountains is definitely a reassurance with extraordinary effect.
Although no one has seen this legendary army from beginning to end. However, as long as Xu Haifeng is still there and as long as he, the general, is still in Wolong City, no one will doubt the whereabouts of this team.
Therefore, when they knew that the Caesars in front of them were only 50,000, even the pessimistic people would not believe that they could break through Wolong City. Half a month ago, Abu Soren ordered the entire army to retreat to Mingdian City. The news came, and the city was celebrated, as if they had won a great victory that was enough to determine the outcome of the entire battle.
The courtyard is deep, and a slow sound sounds from the garden.
"Have you woke up?"
"Mr. Military Advisor, my son-in-law has not woken up yet." A pretty maid replied with a smile.
After carefully looking at the beautiful little girl in front of her, Jiang Kongming frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this girl, Wanling, one of Lin Wanxian's two close maids.
The little girl smiled cleverly, but she refused to give in. Who is Jiang Kongming? He naturally knew that this was done by the little girl's family on purpose.
If you want to dominate the world, you don’t just whisper two words. Anyone with this mind will be destined to be a lifelong hard work.
Although Xu Haifeng is assisted by Jiang Kongming, the universal military advisor, he cannot completely withdraw from the outside. After all, there are many things that Jiang Kongming cannot replace.
Yesterday, Xu Haifeng took a break for half a day and had sex with Lin Wanxian and all night. He slept late. The little girl was considerate and naturally she could drag her down.
Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is nothing big. It's just that some masters from the northern martial arts world have already arrived in Wolong City under the leadership of Hu Sizhong. They just want to meet their lord."
Wanling frowned and said disdainfully: "Who knows who is in that Hu Temple? Our son-in-law is the lord of Wolong City, so how could he pay attention to the martial arts figures? Why would you please send me off if you are a military advisor?"
When the little girl said this, she suddenly saw Jiang Kongming's eyes showing a smug look, and she was surprised. She was about to ask a question, but a familiar voice came from behind: "Wanling, don't talk too much, take care of your lady."
Wanling turned around in surprise. Xu Haifeng, who was still sleeping soundly, was standing behind her with energy at this moment. The little girl didn't notice when he came. She didn't dare to refute, responded aggrievedly, blessed her, and walked inward.
I heard Jiang Kongming's laughter: "I heard from Miss Wanling that the lord is dreaming? Why did he come out like this?"
Xu Haifeng replied angrily: "Your Grand Secretary Jiang's voice is so high that even if Xu wants to sleep, it is impossible."
Wanling's steps were getting slower and slower, and she stomped her feet hard and left angrily.
At this point, she realized that when Jiang Kongming spoke just now, his voice gradually increased, but the amplitude was not large. Even though she was close to her, she had never noticed it. However, the master Xu Haifeng was not just a vain. He was very clear-headed, and he was far beyond his imagination. He woke up. He didn't care about washing and ran out in a hurry.
The little girl's thoughts were not placed on the hearts of the two men in the hall. They lowered their voices, but what they discussed casually was that they could determine the national affairs of tens of thousands of lives.
"How does the military advisor plan to use these men in the world?"
"Well... what to use it... It sounds so ugly. I just give them the opportunity to be loyal to the country." Jiang Kongming said shamelessly.
Xu Haifeng laughed in silence and said, "Okay, don't be in a mess. If you have any plans to say it."
Jiang Kongming restrained the smile on his face and suddenly changed to a serious expression: "Lord, these men from the martial arts world, although they are skilled in martial arts, are arrogant and unwilling to accept the order. If they are allowed to hang out in the army, students can guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the troops will only be reduced but not increased."
Xu Haifeng nodded. Not only did he know this truth, but even the veterans who had fought on the battlefield for many years knew it.
When the Huns invaded in all dynasties, there were no few who initiated their own initiative in the world, summoned their disciples and went north to assist in the war of resistance. However, once these passionate men came to the battlefield, the role they played immediately became minimal. The martial arts they learned were even less than 30% of the time they were usually on the battlefield.
In the collision between thousands of troops, without the cover and support of companions, unless it is a super existence of the Grandmaster level, once it is trapped in a siege, there will be no way out.
Generals at all levels in the Han army were very troubled by how to use this group of rare new forces.
"Oh... it's really useless." Xu Haifeng sighed.
It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away. This is Xu Haifeng’s real evaluation of them.
It would be great if these martial arts masters could have the iron-like discipline in the army. In his mind, he even thought of blood wine. If they were all turned into blood wine warriors, then naturally they would have no worries.
But, this is absolutely impossible.
"In fact, if used properly, these experts in the martial arts world will be an unimaginable powerful force." Seeing through Xu Haifeng's thoughts, Jiang Kongming took out his feather fan and fanned leisurely, saying.
Xu Haifeng's eyes lit up and he suddenly clapped his hands: "I thought of a good idea."
"What?" Jiang Kongming's feather fan paused in the air for a moment, and looked at Xu Haifeng suspiciously.
"Since you, Grand Secretary Jiang, are there, what else can I use to think? Let's leave it to you to deal with it with it with all your power." Xu Haifeng breathed in relief.
"Lord? Why do you always do this..." Jiang Kongming lamented.
Once Xu Haifeng discovered something difficult, he always liked to push it at him. He really didn't know whether this habit was good or bad. However, it was obvious that if Su Chunwei and others were within their ability, they would definitely be overjoyed.
After savoring the fragrant tea, Xu Haifeng said: "As you, Military Advisor Jiang, since you asked this, you must have a solution. Is that right?"
Jiang Kongming was stunned and then smiled and said, "The lord is the lord. The students do have some ideas, but it is not implemented, so it is hard to confirm."
He looked at him strangely and said, "When did you miss your military commander Jiang? Let's finish your words quickly. Xu listen here."
With a smug smile, Jiang Kongming said: "Lord, the people who have been leading the martial arts world in Hu Temple are all men who have been practicing martial arts for many years. If we look at personal qualities, they are definitely unparalleled in the world. However, because they are more skilled, they look down on ordinary soldiers and want to train them into iron troops who follow the orders like the five major legions, which is extremely difficult."
"Extremely difficult? Isn't it impossible?" Xu Haifeng asked in surprise.
This problem has long been unanimously recognized by all the senior generals of the Han Dynasty. It is impossible to make this problem change when Jiang Kongming's mouth is heard. Could it be that he really has the magic of defiance?
"If it were someone else, it would be impossible, but lord, you are expected to do it." Jiang Kongming said solemnly.
Xu Haifeng's face suddenly became a little strange, and he asked softly: "Blood wine?"
Jiang Kongming's eyes spoke and said, "If this matter is also done with blood wine, then what face does the student have to meet his lord?"
Xu Haifeng was overjoyed and asked leisurely, "Speak up quickly, Mr. Military Advisor."
Jiang Kongming knew that there was no outsider here, but he still covered his lips with a feather fan and whispered.
After hearing this, Xu Haifeng ignored it and finally said for a moment: "Doing this may not be beneficial to their future growth."
"It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's better to escape from it than to die on the battlefield and do nothing." Jiang Kongming said lightly.
