Chapter 485 The General Is Back

War is the killing of soldiers at the bottom. Their mortality rate is very high. Few soldiers come back without any injuries.

Yuan Shao doesn't understand why the Xiliang army came up with so many insidious moves to defend the city, such as splashing oil and feces, which can be called a natural injury. However, whenever the skin is splashed a little, it is painful. The coalition is no better than the Xiliang Army. The number of Langzhong is limited, and the soldiers at the bottom are injured so much, and it is difficult for Langzhong to If you take care of it, you have to rely on your own skills. If you can survive, you can only say congratulations. If you can't survive, find a place to bury you, and also save food and fodder for the army. As for the matter behind you, I'm afraid no one will deal with you.

The news of Jia Rong's return to Chang'an also spread to Guo Yan. For a moment, he felt that his whole body was full of fighting spirit. Even if the vassals invaded, it didn't matter. Jia Rong was the pillar of the army. He not only inspired every low-level soldier, but also cheered the general. Even if he was looking at it from afar in Chang'an, it could make people feel Rest assured.

"The swordsman is indeed the one who keeps his promise, but he has recruited more than 300,000 allied troops of the Central Plains princes for this general. The Hangu Pass is in danger. It's really a big deal." Jia Rong took a sip of tea and sighed.

Wang Yue's face remained unchanged and said lightly, "How can the princes of the Central Plains be compared with the Western Liang army? More than 300,000 troops have been in the Hangu Pass for several months without any merit. I'm afraid there is only one way to defeat, but the general can take this opportunity to enter the Central Plains. The great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains are not comparable to the barren land of the border."

Jia Rong looked at Wang Yue in surprise. He didn't expect that this martial arts knight would have such insight and said, "Swordsman, anyway, you have made contributions to the Xiliang Army. What reward do you want?"

Wang Yue's body was slightly shocked, and there was no indifference in his eyes. He stared at Jia Rong with burning eyes and said, "I am an ignorant martial artist. I am respected by the general. I am willing to serve the general. If there is any violation, the sky will thunder, and the arrow will pierce the heart and die." After saying that, he knelt to the ground.

Jia Rong knew that this was Wang Yue's expression of his mentality and helped him up and said, "The swordsman is superb. I don't know if he is willing to train a swordsman for the Xiliang Army?"

"But it's up to the general!" Although Wang Yue was slightly unhappy, he also leaned over and said.

"Swordsman, I hope to see these swordsmen can dominate the world in the future, not just martial arts. They should know how to cooperate with each other. When the army attacks the city, they will secretly respond. The responsibility of opening the gate will be borne by them. Once there is a need, they are the sharpest martial arts in the Xiliang army. It is impossible to take people's lives, and even seize the city. Jia Rong slowly said his thoughts.

Wang Yue thought for a moment, figured out the key, and said, "Dare not to obey!" He also knew that in addition to the method of swordsmanship, he was not competent as an official or a general. If Jia Rong's job can be done, every time the army attacks the city, the first person is the swordsman. It is a little difficult for Wang Yue to train a swordsman, but he has many apprentices under him. He only needs to be responsible for patrolling. Just check it.

"Swordsman, this matter is of great importance. Don't miss the news. These swordsmen will become a great weapon in the hands of the Xiliang Army in the future." Jia Rong said, "Wang Yue, I have appointed you as the commander of the assassination, directly under the command of the general. From now on, I will do my best to train swordsmen and make achievements on the battlefield in the future."

Wang Yuebai said, "Thank you, General!" During this period of time in Chang'an, Wang Yue has studied the official position of the Xiliang Army. In the army, the regimental generals belong to the upper class. It seems that Han Sui and other people who have no real power in his hands are not counted, and he has become an army directly under Jia Rong. His position in the army is detached, which is absolutely a great favor. What a fierce general Lv Bu is, has set up a great battle for the Xiliang Army. At the beginning, he was still a battalion general. In the Xiliang Army, no matter who he was, he had to start from the bottom step by step. Like himself, there were few people who could lead an army alone. He was not afraid that he could not convince the masses and train swordsmen. Apprentices everywhere would be recalled. With these people as the backbone, there would be no need to worry about being empty. It can be said that from Since then, Wang Yue has also become a senior officer in the Xiliang Army, and is only under the command of Jia Rong. This alone is enough.

"From now on, you can choose the best qualifications from the camp for training, and the number of people is tentatively set at 500." Jia Rong said, "But I believe that assassination does not require so many soldiers, only a hundred people. The assassination must be the most elite soldiers, one for ten to a hundred."

"No!" Wang Yue hugged the boxing, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar. What he had dreamed of for many years was finally getting it. In the future, the Xiliang Army and even the whole world will have its own place.

Assassination is not more than other charging troops, just like lone wolf soldiers, stabbing and spying intelligence, all of which are elites and masters.

A gorgeously decorated carriage is driving in the direction of Hangu Pass.

"It's better for my Chang'an carriage!" Jia Rong looked at the decoration in the car and sighed.

This carriage can be said to be the painstaking efforts of the workshop. The wheels used are also made of steel. The inner layer of the car body is wrapped with a layer of iron plate similar to armor to ensure the safety of the people in the carriage. The carriage is used in springs. No matter how bumpy it is, the people inside can't feel it, and there is nothing that ancient people said to ride a horse. The car is hard, and the spring can be said to be the representative of the pinnacle in the craftsman's workshop. Don't underestimate this thing. It may be everywhere in later generations, but in ancient times when technology was backward, otherwise, it is difficult to forge steel with such flexibility.

There are fragrant tea, wine and a dry meal in the carriage. The person who designed the carriage thought that it was extremely thoughtful. There was also a couch behind Jia Rong, and he could take a break on the way.

The war in Hanguguan is critical. There is also a cement road about three meters wide from Chang'an to Hanguguan, food and other materials, which is very convenient to transport.

The princes stopped attacking, and the successive losses made them unable to afford it. The ten-day and ten-night attacks were extremely sharp, and they still couldn't help the Xiliang army. The soldiers lost nearly 50,000 people, and more than 300,000 troops lost one-sixth at a time. However, the price paid by the Xiliang army was also not small. The princes and soldiers After countless attacks on the city wall, once it almost took control of the city wall.

Guo Yan, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals stood respectfully in front of the team and looked forward from time to time.

About a quarter of an hour, just as Guo Wei wiped his sweat, dozens of carriages appeared on the road, and more than 500 cavalry looked around with vigilance. If you carefully observe the equipment of these soldiers, you will find that even the blood guard of Commander Zhao Yun is still so inferior to these soldiers, not only the equipment, There is also momentum. After all, the blood guard of Commander Zhao Yun has been changed again and again.

The luxuriously decorated carriage slowly stopped. Jia Rong stretched out his waist. With the help of the maid, he carefully walked out of the carriage and sighed in his heart, "This life is really a little luxurious. There are beautiful women taking care of."

"See you, Lord!" The general in front of him knelt on one knee and worshipped.

All the soldiers bowed and shouted in unison, "General!"

Jia Rong's hands trembled slightly. If it hadn't been for these people fighting at Hangu Pass, what a great loss the Xiliang Army would have suffered.

The movement under the gate naturally attracted the attention of the defenders. In the Xiliang army, I'm afraid that he is the only one who can take this big gift. The soldiers who have always been calm are not excited. If it hadn't been for the strict order in the army, I'm afraid they would have rushed to tell each other, "The general is coming, and the vassals outside the city will be unlucky."

He picked up Guo Yan and Guo Jia and whispered, "Hangu Pass can resist the coalition of princes. You two have made great contributions. Let's talk about it after you get to Guanzhong."

"Please get up!" Jia Ronglang said.

After coming to the barracks and understanding the current situation, Jia Rong no longer has an indifferent expression when he first came. 40,000 defenders have lost more than 10,000 horses. At this time of wind and rain, the Xiliang Army has to guard against the enemy. It is impossible to transfer too many troops to Hangu Pass. The soldiers are mobilized and consume too much materials. There are 60,000 in Chang'an City. The army is a standing army, specially prepared for war.

"The humble position is incompetent, and I have failed to live up to the heavy responsibility entrusted by the master!" Guo Yan said goodbye.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others also said, "Please punish the Lord!"

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "The vocation of soldiers is to fight. Since it is a war, there will definitely be sacrifices. No matter how difficult the money is, we must give pensions to the families of these soldiers. We can't let our heroes shed tears after they bleed."

"No!" The field was full of generals. Hearing this, my heart was surging. The generals fought on the battlefield and were not afraid of death. Defending the country was just a big slogan. In fact, I still thought that I could let my relatives live a good life, not suffer from the war, and not let the heroes shed tears after bleed. In a word, it was clear that all the voices of the soldiers and generals.

"Try me up and close it. I heard that the princes' coalition is fierce. If I don't greet you, it will be a little rude." Jia Rong said slowly.

"The coalition of princes is really strong and strong!" Jia Rong sighed that if the former crusade against Dong Zhuo's allied forces had such a momentum, I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold the Hu prison. After years of war, the soldiers in the hands of the princes were all elites. Otherwise, the Xiliang army would not have lost so many soldiers. It seems that it still underestimated the princes of the world.

"Lord, there is a kind of siege weapon in the vassal army, called the Thunderbolt Car, which can throw stones from under the city, which is very powerful." Guo Jiadao.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, there is such a momentum when the Thunderbolt car is thrown from the bottom of the city to the city. What will be the result if our army throws the Thunderbolt car from the city?"

Guo Jia's body was shocked and said, "Lord, is it that there is also this kind of weapon in our army?"

Seeing a general staring at him, Jia Rong nodded slowly and said, "When I learned that there was a Thunderbolt car in the princes' army that day, I ordered the workshop to speed up the production. The power of our army's Thunderbolt car is difficult for the princes to shoot horses. Let them see the power of the Thunderbolt car in the future."
