Chapter 393: Reorganizing the Army and Preparing for War
Dalong's northern border gate is Yingzhou City.
Yingzhou City occupies a huge area, and the neighboring cities are not much larger than the capital city.
However, Yingzhou City can only be regarded as a second-class city among the six important cities at the border. The largest cities are Suzhou and Ganzhou cities, because Suzhou and Ganzhou cities are not only responsible for resisting the Turks, but also Defend the frontier of the Western Region.
Although the Western Regions have not invaded the border for decades, they are prepared for any danger, just in case someone from the Western Regions gets mad and starts a war.
In the General's Mansion in Yingzhou City, Zhang Kuang was busy going through documents one by one.
"Report. Huo Buyan, the last general, meets with the general."
"Fuyan is here, how is the matter handled?"
"General, the brothers of the heavy plate armor and heavy cavalry have almost gotten used to it."
"That's good. The plate armor looks weird, but it has no gaps compared to chain armor. It greatly prevents the possibility of being penetrated by the Turkic saber. Let brothers not have any resistance in their hearts. The biggest thing is to survive. .”
"Brothers all know the general's temperament, and there is absolutely no complaint at all."
"That's good, what are you here for?"
Huo Buyan laughed twice: "General, that guy Ke Yan is a miser. How about you order Mo Daojun to be given to the last general?"
Zhang Kuang put down the brush in his hand: "Confused, you are a heavy cavalry. Although the Mo Dao is powerful, it is not suitable for immediate use. It will not increase the combat power but will become a burden. The spearmen led by Ke Yan are the most powerful in using the Modao formation. Good candidates, each performing his or her duties, there is nothing you can’t say about it.”
"That's okay. It's okay if you don't want the Mo Dao. How about giving the Heng Dao to Mo Kai?"
Zhang Kuang was stunned and looked at Huo Buyan angrily: "Good boy, you are waiting for me here, but you are actually interested in my horizontal sword, right?"
"Hehe... General Mingjian, if your soldiers don't go into battle to kill the enemy unless absolutely necessary, why don't you give the five hundred swords to your heavy cavalry for use? The armor on them is cumbersome enough. , changing to a lightweight horizontal knife can also reduce the burden on the brothers."
"In this case, Xiong Kaishan's light cavalry is more suitable for horizontal swords."
"The general is aware that the general is right. The sword is sharp and light. Is there anyone more suitable besides the light cavalry?"
Xiong Kaishan, the commander of the light cavalry, walked in without knowing the right time and knelt down on one knee: "General, I have been ordered to bring the people from a hundred miles radius of Yingzhou to Yingzhou City, and promise not to leave a grain of food for the Turkic thieves!"
"Thank you for your hard work, don't the people have any resistance?"
"Don't worry, General. The common people know that the Turks are about to raid the grass and valleys, so they spontaneously pack up their belongings and follow the general into the city."
"That's good. How are the preparations at Zhong Qiang's place? Have the beds and crossbows been set up?"
"Don't worry, General. Vice General Zhong is letting people adjust the angle of the Eight Ox Crossbow. As long as it enters the range, it will definitely turn the Turks into candied haws."
"Has the equipment replaced by Deputy General Sha been sent to Suzhou and Fuzhou?"
"It should be almost done, I guess it will be changed soon."
"I'll rest assured that everything is safe."
"General, what are those things placed in the middle of the crenellations of the city wall? Could they be more powerful than thundering stones and rolling logs?"
Zhang Kuang was stunned and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."
"All right."
"Report, Hongzhang Scout is rushing the paperwork."
Zhang Kuang immediately stood up and said with a majestic expression: "Pass."
"Reporting to the general, traces of the Turkic army have been found three hundred miles away. The number is about 30,000. It is unclear whether there are follow-up troops."
"Explore again."
"Got the order!"
After the Hongling scout left, Zhang Kuang packed up his documents and put on his armor: "Huo Buyan, Xiong Kaishan will obey the order."
"The end will be here."
"Beat the drum to gather the generals, except those who come out three times and the drum fails to fall. If the drum fails to fall, the military law will be engaged."
"Got the order!"
A trace of bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Kuang's mouth: "You are not allowed to leave the border from the north, but you are not allowed to leave the city."
After a while, thunderous drums sounded in Yingzhou City, resounding throughout the city.
