Chapter 4 Self-cultivation
It has been a month since the direction of the Red Ocean is about to part.
The Caesars did not attack the city again in the end, because the follow-up troops of the Han army also arrived soon after. This was a real reinforcement. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed near the barracks and stalemates with the Caesars for several days. After more than ten clashes of all sizes, the Han army finally repelled the Caesars outside the border. However, these situations were not witnessed by Xu Haifeng, and he also heard from him.
Because all the people were scarred, they were able to return to Xijing City in the rear to heal. Among these people, Xu Haifeng was the least injured, and he was just too much blood. More than a hundred people who came back this time were treated like heroes and enjoyed the best food, accommodation and medical treatment. After several days of rest, Xu Haifeng had recovered most of the time, but the lost blood would not be able to be replenished for a while, so he had to wait until later to take care of it.
The person who received them in the rear was a side general from the Logistics Department. Such high-standard treatment made them flattered. Xu Haifeng was nervous and secretly ordered everyone not to disperse, not to cause trouble, and to recover from his injuries with all his strength. Although there are abundant supplies and complete medicinal materials, compared with the miraculous effects of his blood wine, everyone's recovery speed is as slow as a snail.
In fact, during the 20 days they were besieged, almost everyone was fatally injured, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness. But as long as they had a breath and drank Xu Haifeng's blood wine, they could recover and be full of energy in an hour, otherwise they would not have been able to create such a miracle.
The general named Tong Yifeng, who is in his early fifties this year, is different from the direction of the Red Ocean. He did not rely on his military achievements to join the ranks of generals, but he has achieved success by relying on his good achievements and his qualifications. This kind of person is the kind of old man who usually calls him. But it is such old man who is very well-informed and knows how to change his mind when he sees the wind. He knows that Xu Haifeng and others have made great contributions this time, but more importantly, they are deeply appreciated by Marshal Gu Daoyan, and their career will be bright in the future. At this moment, their military achievements are not shown and their identities are low, which is the best time to make a fortune to get a fortune.
Therefore, in the past few days, a letter from the children will be sent to the courtyard where they stayed. They will answer Xu Haifeng's various inquiries without any concealment.
Through Tong Yixun's explanation, Xu Haifeng finally got a rough idea of what happened these days.
A month ago, the Caesars suddenly launched a large-scale military operation and launched a full-scale war. Although the soldiers of the Han Empire resisted tenaciously, they were caught off guard and were forced to retreat a hundred miles. But at this time, the Han army led by the ancient Taolang suddenly discovered that there was a problem with the Caesars' dispatch, and they felt weak in succession. This change shocked them. You must know that since the Caesars dared to launch such a large-scale attack, it was obvious that the plan was not for a day or two, so how could such a big mistake occur? They performed so strangely that most people thought it was a trap.
However, at this moment, the Red Marine Corps, which was seconded from the north, arrived smoothly, and on the way, they also sneaked into the Caesar camp, and they learned the truth from the captives.
A hundred miles away, it turned out that at the first line of defense on the border between the two countries, there was a military camp that resisted the Caesars' bombing for twenty days, but still stood firm. This military camp was like a sharp blade nailed to the heart of the Caesars, making them restless. For this reason, they dispatched troops many times to remove the thorn in their eyes and the thorn in their flesh. However, no matter how hard they tried, they never achieved results. Instead, they lost tens of thousands of elite troops for this, which caused delays in the overall plan and caused the consequences of insufficient troops.
After many interrogations, they finally determined the accuracy of the news.
Gu Daoran has been a soldier for a lifetime and immediately realized the importance of this information. He made a quick decision and ordered the whole army to inform the matter, and immediately formulated a plan for a comprehensive counterattack. As the saying goes, heroes value heroes, and what soldiers admire most is this kind of iron-blooded man who would rather die than surrender and be brave. At present, many fist troops volunteered to take on the important vanguard and vowed to rescue these soldiers who promoted the power of the Han army.
Among all the troops, the lancers from the northern Red Marine Legion were the fastest, so Gu Daoyan appointed them as the vanguard to take the lead in reinforcements. In the meaning of Gu Daoyan, the military camp could hold on for so many days, and even if it could be kept safe, it would definitely be the end of the strong bow. Therefore, he only asked Shi Ming to move forward quickly, and how much he could save, and even gave up the military camp.
However, no one could have thought that Xu Haifeng and others not only had enough defense, but also had the power to attack. After seeing the lancers in the Red Ocean, Qin Yong was ordered to fight and attacked the 10,000-man formation with just over a hundred manpower. Facing a hundred times the enemy, he was fearless, and even caused extreme chaos to the opponent, forcing the opponent to adjust the formation. In this case, Xiang Ming and others were excited to see it. This is also the biggest reason why Xiang Ming could issue the order to attack with all his strength without hesitation when facing an enemy that was ten times more than him.
Fortunately, Shin Ming ordered in time, otherwise he might not have been able to achieve such a brilliant victory when the formation of the Caesars was adjusted.
With a record of over 30,000, the entire army was sensational. The Han soldiers were once more immense. The morale of the Caesars was completely restored. The Caesars were just the opposite of this, and their morale was severely low. In front of this barracks, they lost a total of 80,000 elite soldiers. In the end, the troops were insufficient and they were in short supply, so the entire army retreated.
So within one month, the attack and defense of both sides changed. Not only did the Han army lose all the land, but the troops advanced and expanded the border nearly a hundred miles. Due to the urgent military situation on the front line, it would be rare. As the saying goes, the opportunity should not be missed, and no more losses will come, so the generals led by the ancient Taoist bell came to the front line to command the battle, and strive to maximize the expansion of victory.
The turning point of this battle was the battle between the Red Ocean Cavalry and the Caesars. The biggest meritorious person was Xu Haifeng and others who had been defending the city wall for more than 20 days. So when Xu Haifeng and others returned to the rear, the super hospitality they received was taken for granted. Although they did not receive any rewards for the time being, the merits they made this time were indeed too great. Idiots also knew that as long as this battle came to an end, the greatest reward would definitely belong to them.
Marshal Gudaoyan has been operating in the West for many years and has always been famous for his integrity and justice, so their first achievements are certainly certain - they cannot escape. During wars, military merits are the first priority, and the rewards are of great importance to them.
After understanding the whole story, Xu Haifeng felt completely relieved. Thinking of the subsequent glory and wealth, he also jumped around in his heart. The days passed quickly under an impatient and uneasy mood. Before Xu Haifeng could summon Gu Daoyan, he first met an old friend, who was in a direction from the Red Ocean Legion in the North.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm in great spirits."
Xu Haifeng, who was chatting with Tong Yifeng in the yard, looked up in surprise and immediately saw a smile from the bottom of his heart on his honest and long face. Seeing his face full of dust and yellow sand, he had just returned from the front line and came to Xu Haifeng directly before he had time to wash up.
"See General, please see General." Xu Haifeng immediately stood up, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed. Although the general was the lowest-level general, he was also a general after all, and his identity as a soldier like him was far from that of a person. Of course, Xu Haifeng did not dare to lack etiquette.
"Oh, where are there so many etiquettes?" Shi Ming rushed over, grabbed Xu Haifeng and said loudly: "The military situation was urgent that day, so I didn't care about discussing with me in detail. However, there are very few people who deserve my admiration today, but I am definitely one of them. If you still like me, a rough person, please call me "Brother."
"How dare you take the official position in this way?" Xu Haifeng couldn't figure out the intention of Shining Ming, but judging from his appearance, these words were definitely not right or wrong, but were completely sincere. He couldn't help but feel aroused. Fortunately, he had been having a lot of time with Tong Yifeng these days, and he told him some official customs, and he didn't dare to accept it casually.
"Haha, this is not a military camp, we don't have to be called by our military ranks." After a pause, he said seriously: "I am a brave man in the world. Why is he so mother-in-law and a man? I'll say it with ease."
Speaking of this, if you refuse, it is pretentious or really look down on others. Xu Haifeng doesn't want to make a grudge with others because of this. The most important thing is that he admires Jing Ming in his heart. Now that he has the opportunity to meet, he is of course very eager to ask for it. He bowed deeply and said, "Since that's the case, I have met my elder brother."
The Shin-ming did not dodge, and received the gift with a smile, then helped Xu Haifeng up and said, "Okay, it's not in vain that I can make a fortune today, I'm traveling thousands of miles from the northern border to help."
"Brother, this is Tong Yifeng, the general from the Logistics Department. We have been recovering smoothly after we come back this time with his careful care." Xu Haifeng quickly introduced Tong Yifeng beside him to Xiang Ming: "General Tong, this is Lord Xiang Ming, the general from the front camp of the Red Ocean of the Northern Frontier Camp."
"I have long admired Daming, and Lord Fang's reputation spread throughout the army. Half a month ago, he defeated the Caesars' 30,000 formation with three thousand iron cavalry, and was the number one tiger general of the dynasty." Tong Yifeng hurriedly greeted him. He was knowledgeable and had known the record of Xiang Ming for a long time, but he met him. Now he took this opportunity to get to know him rightfully, and at the same time, a horse was shot directly.
