Chapter 27 Prelude
The military camp outside Kuche City was very strict and the battlegrounds were severe. The continuous camp tents showed that this was no longer the empty camp of the past. Several consecutive troops moved into the camp one after another, blocking the originally very loose camp tightly. The infantry and cavalry, who were in a hurry, seemed to have even looked much more serious. Judging from the number and the race of soldiers, we also knew that these troops did not belong to the same cluster. The warning around the camp suddenly became strict. It was strictly forbidden for ordinary people to pass within a radius of three miles, indicating that something major would happen. Although it came from all sides, one thing was surprisingly consistent, that is, almost every soldier had a glimmer of excitement and eagerness to try, and even the soldiers who were ordered to stand guard on duty always had a look of desire on their faces.
A group of cavalry surrounded several cavalry and swept up the yellow dust in the sky and rolled up along the avenue from a distance. Although you can see from a distance that the other party's clothing should be the Northwest Army, and there were only a few dozen cavalry, the guard posts at the gate of the camp and the lookout posts on the tower immediately entered a state of alert. The strong crossbows on the tower also quietly adjusted their aiming position to keep the person at a high alert state. The cavalry that was rolling up paused at the gate of the camp. After a vague command, the guard posts on the whistle and the guards at the gate salute respectfully at the same time, and a group of people immediately lined up in an orderly manner.
"Heizi, it seems that the commander of the legion is coming, right?" Seeing a group of people disappearing in the barracks, Lie's hand standing guard on the wardrobe asked Yu Zang, who was standing at the door with some excitement.
"Well, it's really the commander of the army. It seems that we have finally caught up with a good show this time. After holding it in for so long, our hands are almost itchy. Dance and swords are all exercises. Although it is a practical exercise, I always feel that I have not been able to make a living like the enemy's white knife, and the red knife is coming out. If we don't fight two battles, our Second Division will almost become a garrison." You Dongshou is obviously a veteran, and his bloodthirsty light appears on his dark and thin face. He smacked his lips and said unwillingly: "The last time we raided Yin De'an, we didn't get on our turn, but we asked us to deal with the bastards in the Western Regions. But these guys were too unscrupulous and stopped short of their time. They didn't even have enough addiction. Isn't this awesome?"
"I said Heizi, you're almost going to become a murderer, right? Look at the dozens of soldiers under your command, grinning all day long. I think they're all suffering. The last time the Loulan Military Law Ministry made you suffer is not enough? Don't think about rushing all day, you have to see the enemy clearly. If you kill the wrong civilians, you may not be able to take it away." Perhaps you were very familiar with this officer named Heizi, standing on the mail tower, looking around and looking around, and tutting.
"Hmph, why are we going to support our soldiers without fighting? We can't farm and we can't make irons, we can dance guns and sticks. We are born to live with this bowl of rice. If we don't fight, we always feel that we don't feel bad." You Dongshao replied expressionlessly, "I hope we can catch a good fight this time."
"Heizi, you said that we would never let us do some practical exercises again when we arrived here from Loulan this time, right? I am so tired of any practical exercises. I came here from thousands of miles away to do some other exercises. That would be really unpleasant." Standing at the top of the hood, Looking at the hand and pulling off the long bow hanging on the waist, taking a breath and exhale and testing the strength of the arm, lamenting, "If you don't let the bow on your hand taste the human blood, our bow technique will be abandoned."
"Hehe, this time I don't think it's that simple." The whistle with indifferent expression showed a proud look for the first time.
"Oh? Heizi, do you have any inside information? Let's hear it." The lookout on the mail tower suddenly became energetic, and quickly took back the bow and asked impatiently.
"Didn't you see who came this time? The First Division arrived two days before us, probably with us. The boys from the Western Regions United Army also arrived. It seemed that three 10,000 teams were coming, which led all the main forces out. I looked at it. They were all veterans. I heard that they had obtained the approval of Lord Li to form two 10,000 teams. If it was a drill, how could they not bring the new recruits to train, but bring the old team? Hehe, can't you smell the smell of this? Now even the commander of the army has rushed over. This is definitely a drill. It's obviously going to be a big battle." He glanced at his comrade who was standing on the high ground and listening to the roar. Yunying whistle and shrugged his nose, "Maybe it won't take long, we can smell the fresh smell of human blood again. I miss it."
"Heizi, are you saying we really going to fight?" The lookout was so excited that he even trembled. "I wonder if I went to the brigade leader to hand over the order yesterday, I saw the brigade leader accompanying the division commander to inspect the logistics supplies of each brigade. If it weren't for a big battle, the division commander would never have such good patience to inspect one brigade and one brigade. But, in the wilderness of Kuche, who is worthy of our big fight? Even the guys from the Western Regions United Army have used it. Could it be that Luo Beiren is not honest again, right?"
When it comes to which side the attack target is, the sturdy whistle of the whistle seemed a little inaccurate. After all, low-level officers like them just need to strictly obey the orders of superiors when they go into battle and fight hard to kill the enemy. It is really too difficult for them to guess who is the enemy and who is the friend. Luo Beiren has changed from an enemy to a friend, and has become an unpredictable position of enemies and friends. Even the political analysts of the empire find it difficult to infer what kind of relationship the relationship between Luo Beiren and the northwest is now, let alone ordinary people.
He coughed dryly, and Yu Dongshou showed a hesitant look on his face: "It's impossible. Now Luo Beiren still has the courage to provoke us? It's enough for us to not bully us. Could it be that the Indians and De'ans? It's worth our fight to teach them a lesson?"
The lookout standing on the mail tower was also confused, and he couldn't figure out which one was worthy of his mobilization.
Cui Wenxiu, who had just stepped into the military camp, had not even had time to finish washing up, a strong man in armor had already stepped to the door of the room.
"Hu Yanqiu has seen Lord Cui!" Hongliang's voice was slightly exotic, with a brown-yellow-mouthed tiger beard and a halberd, a spear-shaped slight flashing eyes, a thick leather armor cover, and several key points on his body were covered with iron leaves. A gorgeous and ancient meniscus waist knife hung obliquely around his waist, and the thick cowhide boots kicked the ground and brought out a trace of dust.
"Brother Huyan, why do you and my brothers be so dissatisfied? Come on, come in and sit in." Seeing the strong man coming in, Cui Wenxiu dropped the towel in her hand and signaled the guards to take the towel and hot water away. She smiled and greeted her, holding the other party's big hand and eagerly greeted her into the room.
"Haha, Brother Cui, first public and then private, and the courtesy should not be abandoned. If the people from the Ministry of Military Law see it, they will gossip again." The bearded man also smiled and blinked.
"Ministry of Military Law? If you and my brothers are bound by the people of the Ministry of Military Law, isn't Mi Feng's hand stretched too long?" Cui Wenxiu's eyes narrowed and she asked with a smile: "Why, Brother Huyan, who is not afraid of the heavens and earth, is he afraid of the people of the Ministry of Military Law?"
"But Brother Cui, you are not here to talk about your personal friendship today. I think we have more important things to do." Hu Yanqiu's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he grinned silently. "It seems that Brother Cui has some opinions about the people of the Ministry of Military Law. The Ministry of Military Law handles affairs independently, and even Lord Li cannot interfere casually. Brother Cui, you and I are all people who are outside the command of Lord Li. You have always followed Lord Li, so we should be more cautious."
"Oh?" Cui Wenxiu felt a stern. The other party seemed to have something in his words. He was just a random joke, which actually attracted the other party's words of rich meaning. This made Cui Wenxiu a little alert. "Brother Huyan, there seems to be no need to hide between you and me. If Brother Huyan thinks that Wenxiu has done something wrong, please just say it clearly."
"Haha, Brother Cui is so serious. Originally, Brother Cui was the commander-in-chief of the Central Continental War Zone, Hu Yanqiu and the Western Regions United Army were also members of the Central Continental War Zone. Some words should not be said by Hu Yanqiu, but Brother Cui and Hu Yanqiu are brothers, and some words are not unhappy." Hu Yanqiu's dark brown eyes were jumping with a wise splendor.
"As the commander-in-chief of the Central Continental War Zone, Brother Cui could take charge of all military affairs in the Central Continental, but this Indian and German affairs are probably not as simple as you and I imagined. Since the Tiks dared to ignore our existence on the Senge Plain and launched a large-scale attack on the Hyderabad people, they must have made a lot of preparations. I am afraid they have also estimated that the troops on our side are insufficient. At present, there are no strong enemies around the Tiks, and the troops they can mobilize are at least more than 400,000. Many ants bite to death. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Tiks army is probably not as vulnerable as we expected. According to what we know now, they have easily defeated several defense lines of the Hyderabad people, which at least proves that the Tiks army is not a weak person."
