Lord Xinling walked out of the tent, and the soldier who was waiting three feet away from the door turned around and saluted, saying: "I'm reporting to you, no one is approaching the other tent!"
Lord Xinling glanced at the soldier with great interest: "Do you know who I am?"
The soldier said: "Master Xinling, everyone in the world knows you!"
Lord Xinling said: "Then you have seen me?"
"I am a subordinate of Daliang Wei, and I once witnessed your grace in front of the court!"
"Oh, everyone in Da Liang Wei knows about it!"
"When your Majesty arrives at the camp, someone has already recognized it, and word has spread among the army that your Majesty has arrived in the army!"
"How to call it?"
"Your Majesty calls me Erhei."
"Which camp are you in now?"
"I am originally a corps commander under the guard of Daliang. I am willing to fight to the death and serve as a soldier in the middle camp."
"How many people will the Daliang guards pull out this time?"
"Two battalions in total."
"Are all the soldiers in the middle camp selected from the two battalions of the Daliang guard?"
"yes!"
Daliang City has a total of twelve gates, and each city has a guard, who is in charge of the soldiers and civilian troops guarding the city. Daliang Gate is the main entrance of the palace, and there are also Daliang gate guards. Therefore, there are a total of 13 Daliang military soldiers, about 50,000 people. This is the legacy left by Wu Qi in Hexi, but it was transformed from a border guard into a guard army guarding the capital. Lord Xinling knows this. As the troops guarding the palace, the Daliang Gate Guards are naturally the best among the best. There are two battalions of guards in Daliang, with a total of 1,000 people, one from every tenth, forming a total of one pawn. As a soldier recruited by the Daliang Gate Guards, he has strong fighting ability and unquestionable loyalty. It is a natural choice to guard the Chinese army. This is also consistent with the plan in Lord Xinling's mind, but he seems to have a vague feeling that something is wrong.
"Are the people serving in the big tent also the soldiers in the middle camp?"
"Yes. Ten people take turns guarding the tent."
"Oh, yes!" Lord Xinling seemed to respond casually and ordered: "Lead the way back to the big tent!"
When he came to the big tent, the people waiting in front of the tent did not stop him. Lord Xinling walked directly into the big tent and saw Jin Bi and Mang Mao leaning on each other for a few seconds. Mang Shen had already returned to the camp and was sitting in the tent with his eyes closed and taking a nap. When the tent was lifted, light shone in, awakening the three of them. When they opened their eyes, they saw it was Lord Xinling, and they quickly sat up. Lord Xinling met him as a guest, and the two of them quickly stepped aside.
Lord Xinling said: "I think it's getting late and the army will be arriving soon. I want to go around and check whether each camp is properly set up."
Jin Bi and Mang Mao each saluted: "I would like to accompany you!"
Lord Xinling said: "Second Qing has worked hard and is stationed in the military tent. All I have to do is ask General Mang to guide you!" Then he turned to Mang Shen: "Young General has been working hard day and night, but he feels uneasy!" Mang Shen hurriedly returned the greeting and continued I dare not. Then go out and prepare the car.
Lord Xinling said to Jin Bi again: "It's time for Zhang Yu and others to arrive. I'm afraid they will go straight to Guancheng. Please send someone to greet them on the road and tell them to come here." As he said this, he untied his waistband. Jade pendant.
Jin Bi took the jade pendant and nodded in agreement. Lord Xinling walked out of the tent and waited for Mang Shen to prepare his car and drive over. Lord Xinling looked under the tent and saw that Erhei was still waiting under the tent. He waved his hand and said: "Erhei, get on the car and be the right driver!"
Erhei was startled and said: "I followed you as soon as I got out of the car. I didn't hesitate to do anything, but I didn't dare to get in the car. I was swaying from side to side, dizzy, and couldn't stand!"
Lord Xinling said: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Mang drives the chariot smoothly. I'm specially allowing you to support Shi with one hand, so you can stand firm."
On the right side of the car is the samurai who is responsible for hand-to-hand combat. He is also the vigilant of the whole car. He must maintain a fighting posture at all times. Therefore, he cannot hold him up unless he has to, and he must stand firmly on his two feet. This is difficult to accomplish without long-term training.
When Erhei saw Lord Xinling say this, he boarded the chariot with his halberd and stood on either side of Mangshen with Lord Xinling. Mang Shen shook the reins lightly and the carriage started. Behind the car were ten armed soldiers guarding him.
Lord Xinling said to Mang Shen: "Go first and then camp." Mang Shen understood and drove the carriage out of the middle camp.
Thousands of military commanders were selected from the 15,000 soldiers in the entire army and were still divided into three camps. The middle camp has a complete five-pawn system; the left and right camps still have five pawns, but each pawn only has fifty people, no companions, and direct jurisdiction over the five pawns. The three camps were divided into wings, no more than a mile apart. The camp Mangmao selected for the civilian army (big army) was placed behind the gap between the three battalions of military soldiers. There were five camps vertically on the left and right, stretching for several miles. Due to the small space, these five large camps are actually located on the left, right and rear of the middle camp. From the center camp to the west, you can see the camps of the two columns on the left and right at the same time.
As the carriage drove away from the middle camp, Lord Xinling looked with interest at Erhei, who was holding a halberd in one hand and holding a shi in the other, his whole body tense, and asked: "Are your ancestors also scholars?"
"Yes, how did your Majesty know?"
"You know a lot about car etiquette, it is naturally inherited from the scholar family! He family?"
"It seems to be Xu. Anyway, no one called me. I don't know car etiquette, but I heard that it is very uncomfortable to stand on the car. I feel dizzy and unsteady, and many people will fall off the car!"
"That's right," Lord Xinling agreed. "Some scholars cannot stand for the rest of their lives. When marching and fighting, they can only tie themselves to the cart!"
"Tie it to the car?!" Erhei grinned widely, "If you can't stand firmly, do you still have to march and fight?"
"Of course. As a scholar, you must join the army and conquer!"
"Do you still have to take a car? Can't you walk?"
"When a scholar fights on foot, he loses his dignity and is inconsistent with etiquette."
"Scholars are trouble. A war is a war, and it must be done with etiquette. If you are tied to a chariot, you can't even stand firmly, so how can you fight? How can you fight on foot? It's better!"
Lord Xinling was moved in his heart and asked, "Are you brave enough to fight on foot?"
Erhei smiled "hehe" and said, "When I was choosing soldiers, one of my commanders gave me fifteen stones, but I didn't even stop him. I was directly promoted to corps commander!" There was a hint of pride in his words.
Lord Xinling smiled and said: "After this battle, there is hope that you will be promoted to great heights!"
Erhei still said with a silly smile: "It would be great if I could give you a few more acres of land..."
Mang Shen, who was driving the chariot in the middle, suddenly shouted: "You are ignorant and lying! In the world, only the virtuous live. You won the land with bravery. You are extraordinarily kind, but your heart is not enough. How can you be so virtuous? What can you do?" Stay on one side!"
Erhei shrank his neck in fright after being scolded all over his face, and he no longer dared to speak. Although he couldn't quite understand what Mang Shen was saying, the young general was obviously unhappy, which was obvious to all.
When Lord Xinling saw Mang Shen interjecting, he stopped talking and let his carriage gallop towards the rear camp. Erhei stopped talking and gradually got used to the movement and bumps of the carriage. His left hand no longer held Che Shi as tightly as when he first got on the carriage. The grass was not flat, and from time to time there would be rocks or ridges that would cause the carriage to bump. At this time, Erhei would help Che Shi tightly.
Behind the car is a temporary guard composed of ten elite soldiers. In order to keep the car running smoothly, the speed of the car was not high. They trotted behind the car and followed it without any effort.
There are no fences on the left and right sides of the camp. Only four halberd men stand at the four corners. A three-foot-high bamboo pole is planted in the middle as a big flag. Each of the four gates is marked with two halberds. The other five soldiers sat around under the flagpole, and in the middle sat the leader of the team. Not long after, the chariot arrived at a small river ditch. There were two more camps across the river bank, obviously the rearguard of the two columns.
The ditch is neither deep nor wide. There are only stepping stones placed in the middle of the river. It is possible to cross the river on foot, but it is difficult for vehicles to pass.
Lord Xinling asked Mang Shen: "Is there no bridge here?"
Mang Shen replied: "There are no bridge-building equipment in the death camp."
Lord Xinling said: "We can order the former military industrial camp to build the bridge first."
Mang Shen replied: "In this case, I would like to return to the camp to ask for the Festival Talisman. Without the Festival Talisman in the army, not a single soldier can be mobilized."
Lord Xinling said in surprise: "Those two blacks..."
Mang Shen said: "My father has been ordered to march and transfer two black men to guard the young master."
Lord Xinling said: "That's not necessary. We can't see the river until we drive here. Let's abandon the car and go to the camp to have a look."
The three of them jumped out of the car one after another. Mang Shen left five soldiers to guard the vehicle and horses. Lord Xinling asked Erhei to take off the ax from the vehicle and hold it in his hand. A group of people walked towards the camp on the left.
