Chapter 46 The Battle of the Two Powers 1
When Xing Tianjun arrived about ten miles east of Hancheng Town, the whole army stopped with Xiao Tianjian's order. With the waving of the flag, the second and third battalions immediately pushed forward and began to line up side by side in front. Each of them arranged a standard Xing Tianjun march.
The soldiers who came with the army followed Xiao Tianjian's guard company and were arranged behind the two phalanxes. As a reserve force, they ensured that the back road would be fine. On this open land, an inverted formation was immediately formed, blocking the road from Yiyang County to Yongning County.
The company of military engineers immediately rushed to the front of the team with more than a thousand people who were recruited locally, began to cut down trees nearby, divided some of their manpower, and began to dig a trench in front of the phalanx of the two battalions.
The engineering company is equipped with engineering shovels, short picks, big saw axes, machetes and other things specially designed for them according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements. All of them are good guys made of fine iron after many quenching. It is quite easy to use. Along the way, the drill gopher led this The brothers of the engineering company can be said to have made great contributions to the rapid advance of the Xingtian Army, and the reason why they have done so well is also inseparable from these tools.
The people around Yongning County who were recruited by the army are all good at doing farm work. It is definitely impossible to use them to fight, but when they are used as earthwork, they are all good hands. After getting the shovels and shovels of engineers, they can be said to dig trenches, which can be said to be fast.
The reason why these people and strong people came to fight against the officers and soldiers with the Xingtian Army is not afraid of death, but because after the Xing Tianjun captured Yongning County, they had no offense to the refugees gathered outside Yongning County, and then opened the grain warehouse in the county, took out a lot of food, and set up outside the city. The porridge shed helped these refugees, so that many refugees saved their lives because of Xing Tianjun's porridge.
This is not to mention. As soon as Xing Tianjun took Yongning County, he made a list outside the city and announced the way for them to divide their fields, saying that the good land belonging to the original Yongning County belonged to the King of Wan'an and several local gentry would be allocated to these lost land and exiles.
After the exiles heard the news, they immediately boiled up. In this troubled world, they were like ants, bullied and killed by everyone, but no one pitied them and sympathized with them. When Xing Tianjun came, they were also afraid, but the reason why they did not escape was that they had already He was so hungry that he had no strength to escape, so he could only watch Xing Tianjun pass by them.
But they never thought that this Xingtian Army was actually a benevolent and righteous army. Compared with all the armies they had seen before, they were much more benevolent and righteous. Not only did they eat and farm, but these exiles were naturally grateful to the Xingtian Army. As soon as they heard that Xing Tianjun was going to recruit some of the people to follow the army. Fight against the officers and soldiers, and promise that they will never expel them to fight, but only let them do what they can. The young people among these exiles should participate actively and rush here with the Xing Tianjun.
Xing Tianjun did not oppress these soldiers and civilians along the way. He made them eat two salted mixed dough cakes. I dare not say that they were full. At least compared with the days when they couldn't drink a mouthful of porridge a few days ago, it was in the sky. Generally.
Therefore, these exiles who were drafted spared spared no effort to do whatever they wanted to do along the way with the army. If they did a good job, they could get a bowl of bone soup to drink. Therefore, just for this delicious food, they also worked hard.
As soon as the army stopped, they rushed forward and worked crazily according to the requirements. Soon, they dug a shallow trench two feet wide and more than half a person deep in front of the two battalions, and there were many people. They quickly cut down a lot of trees nearby, according to the requirements of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army. , quickly threw into the shallow trench, erected these tree trunks in the shallow trench, and quickly filled the excavated earth and stone into the shallow trench, compacted the virtual earth, and formed a strong fence with more than one person in front of the two battalions.
With the rewards of the scouts, the gophers stood between these people and shouted, "Become brothers!" Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down! The rest will be left to the good men of Xing Tianjun! Our general has an appointment, and he will never drive you to die! Go to the back and eat whatever you want!"
After listening to this, more than a thousand people were completely relieved and cheered one after another. They picked up the tools in their hands and flew back to the back of the rear of the array from the two squares. They squatted far away behind the array. A group of soldiers had already carried out a large basket of cakes and sent them to them, grabbing them one by one. The big cake chewed fiercely, looking forward with excitement and nervousness, eating and chatting with each other.
"I said this brother, do you think the good men of Xing Tianjun can be the opponents of the officers and soldiers? In case the good men of Xing Tianjun can't beat the officers and soldiers, then won't we be unlucky again?
"Daw, let's talk about our fate. It was given to us by the good men of Xing Tianjun. Don't you see what kind of people the good men are? That's all the same as the gods who came down to the earth. I don't know how General Xiao brought out the soldiers. Anyway, I have seen a lot of soldiers and horses of all kinds. I have never seen such a majestic man like the Xing Tianjun men before. The officers and soldiers are not good. In front of these good men, they are nothing. This battle will definitely win. !"
"Yes! I fled here from Nanyang. In the past two years, I have seen many officers and soldiers and the Rebels, but I have never seen such a majestic soldier and horse, and I have never seen such a benevolent soldier and horse. Although sometimes some Rebels will open warehouses and release food, they all eat one place and change another place. They have never said that they will give the old. The people divide the fields. God has pity on us and sent us such a benevolent and righteous army. Please bless us and let them win!"
"I've thought about it. If this Xing Tianjun wants someone later, I will also work for General Xiao. Look at their style and make me warm..."
For a while, the people squatted behind and said everything.
Xiao Tianjian came to the front of the array, rode the horse back and forth a few times in front of the array, and then pulled the rein. The yellow horse immediately let out a long hisss, and his two front legs soared up. Now Xiao Tianjian's riding skills have been longer than when he first came to this world. It's not what it used to be. Such a move really looked heroic, and immediately made the generals in the army cheer.
Xiao Tianjian grabbed the rein of the horse and raised his right hand into a fist. The cheers gradually subsided. He glanced at the soldiers of the Xingtian Army in front of him like electricity and shouted to them, "Brothers! Today! We came here, but the government didn't agree to drive us away from here. I want to ask you, do you agree?"
After listening to this, the army immediately shouted loudly, "No! ......”
Xiao Tianjian clenched his right fist again and raised it high. He continued to shout at the soldiers and generals, "Behind you, there are countless people like you. They are looking at us with countless eyes, cheering for us, and sweating for us. There is no reason to let them down!
So I order you, no matter what kind of enemies we are in front of us, we will never retreat. No matter how fierce they are, we will always be strong in front of our Xingtian Army! I'm here. Among you, I will never take a step back! I will fight side by side with you to the end, so that the government can know, and let the current court know that our Xing Tianjun is invincible!"
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's agitation, the generals all raised their arms and roared, "Xing Tianjun will win! ...Bight to win!" The head of countless long guns flashed with cold light, shining in the sun, as if it were a steel jungle.
(I will spend a lot of money to describe this battle between Xing Tianjun and Guan Ningjun. Please be a little patient!)
