Xiang Mihaha smiled: "I knew it, Brother Jinu, oh, no, the commander-in-chief would not really leave me idle. The Chinese army in this battle is actually the reserve team. In fact, it is... …”
At this point, he paused: "But, do I need my subordinates to carry the luggage for this battle?"
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Combat soldiers don't need to carry anything except dry food. A day's ration is only one pound of cakes and steamed buns. With the weapons and equipment that you carry, you can't carry an extra pound." The food won’t be able to move.”
Xiang Mi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, these are just trivial things. As long as you don't have to bring bulky things, such as fodder, tents, and fences, it's all easy. Like crossbows, catapults, etc., we can also... …”
Liu Yu nodded: "You have reminded me that these war machines cannot be thrown away. The eight-oxen crossbow is still carried forward by a group of four people. As for the catapult, it is pushed forward by a group of twenty people. Just take twenty groups with the cupping troops. These will be carried out by the auxiliary soldiers and baggage troops, not your three combat troops."
Xiang Mi said in a deep voice: "Follow the order."
Liu Yu looked at Wang Zhongde and said: "Zhongde, you will lead the auxiliary troops and heavy supplies this time. You are mainly responsible for long-range attacks, controlling these crossbows, catapults, etc., and supporting the battle ahead in critical moments." ,Understand?"
Wang Zhongde smiled slightly: "We finally transported fifty eight-oxen crossbows and thirty catapults across Daxian Mountain. It would be a pity to throw them away, and my subordinates would not agree. Don't worry, there are some in the supply camp this time. Many blacksmiths are strong men and can push carts across mountains without any problem, and this battle will never hold back the army."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Liu Zhong, and said: "Half of the entire army's cavalry has been given to Shen Linzi, and the other half is with you, as well as the more than 5,000 pack horses here in the Chinese army. They can also carry troops and maneuver in emergencies." , I’ll leave everything to you to command, no problem.”
Liu Zhong has never smiled since the death of Meng Longfu. He gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "It's my fault that the fierce dragon died in the battle. In this battle, I only ask for my ability to kill the thief, not for him." . Whenever the commander-in-chief orders him, he will go through fire and water, even to the death."
Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk about life and death lightly. We want the enemy to die and we to live. I hope everyone here can live to celebrate the victory!"
Liu Zhong nodded seriously, bowed and left. Standing in the middle was only Hu Fan, who was silent. Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Hu Fan, how are the preparations for the Shenjian Camp now?"
Hu Fan said sternly: "The three thousand divine arrow commandos left behind by General Tan have committed serious crimes. They dare not forget to atone for their sins one day. They have been practicing hard and working with the deputy general Xu Chite to train them to perfection." All of them can pierce Yang Yang with a hundred steps. In this battle, I eagerly want to contribute to the Jin Dynasty, but..."
When he said this, a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face and he remained silent.
Liu Yu laughed: "It seems that Huzi you are not satisfied with staying in the Chinese Army. Will this affect your ability to kill enemies and perform meritorious service?"
Hu Fan gritted his teeth: "The last general is a reduced general. I don't dare to ask for the opportunity to make contributions. It doesn't matter how the commander arranges for me. It's just that this Shenjian Assault Battalion is the old brother left by General Tan. , are all elite soldiers with superb archery skills. It would be a pity if they only protect the central army. I hope you will..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Okay, I understand what you mean. The Chinese Army does not need too many guards and soldiers. It's just that Her Highness the Queen is here and only relies on more than a hundred Forbidden Army officers to protect her. She is a bit short of manpower, so I thought want…………"
Wang Miaoyin said: "Liu Cheqi, don't worry about us. I made it clear just now that everything is aimed at winning. With thousands of soldiers guarding us, we are already safe. Besides, there are also all the adults who have joined the Chinese army. The guards, as well as the troops and horses prepared by the two generals, and of course, you, a contemporary hero who can drive thousands of people alone and have unparalleled martial arts, what do I have to worry about? The archery skills of General Hu's men, I I saw it with my own eyes along the way. A hundred steps away, shooting at a target the size of a copper coin was like searching a bag for something. It would be a pity that such a fierce man is not placed on the front line of the battle."
Liu Yu nodded: "I understand what you mean. So, where are Xu Chite and Mao Dezu, the two deputy generals of the Shenjian Assault Battalion?"
Xu Chite came out with a happy face to accept the promise, and a strong man about forty years old with a purple face and a long beard named Mao Dezu, a native of Xingyang in the Central Plains, followed Liu Yu to defend Luoyang and went south with the army, in the south of the Yangtze River. After settling down in troubled times, he led his fellow villagers to join the army. He first served under Hu Fan, and later joined Hu Fan in the Divine Arrow Assault Battalion and became a deputy general. He was also a skilled archer with many battles and experience. Rich, but because he was not from the Beifu Army system, his official position was not high.
Liu Yu looked at the two men and said sternly: "There are three thousand archers in the Shenjian Assault Battalion. Each of you will lead a thousand archers, assigned to the left and right armies respectively. The subordinates of General Tan Shao and General Zhu Lingshi will obey orders. "
The two agreed at the same time, and Hu Fan's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Commander, the general still can't..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Huzi, I have other plans for you here. Needless to say. Good steel is used on the blade. In this battle, you will stay with me. I guarantee that you will have the opportunity to make contributions. .”
Hu Fan turned around and laughed: "With these words from the commander-in-chief, I can rest assured and wait for your orders."
Liu Yu smiled and pointed at the tallest and largest black man in the crowd, slightly taller than the bear-like Liu Jingxuan and Shen Tianzi, and said: "Ding Governor, fierce bull, come here."
Ding Ao, nicknamed "Fierce Bull", has accumulated some military exploits in these years of fighting in the north and south. He is no longer the new soldier in front of Luoluo Bridge. His physique and strength, even in a single He is also outstanding among the generals of Beifu who have gathered many fierce men. However, with his current military position, he is only a building leader and guardian. He can only lead 500 soldiers. According to the rules, he is not allowed to attend such high-level generals. At first, everyone thought he was just a Chinese army guard, but when Liu Yu called him, they realized that this person was actually his own peer. They were a little dissatisfied, but when they saw this person's figure , these generals, who had experienced hundreds of battles and knew many warriors, began to nod slightly one by one, and even secretly inquired about this person's situation, hoping to recruit his subordinates.
Liu Yu looked at Ding Ao and said with a smile: "Mengniu, you said that I protected you during the last battle at Luoluo Bridge. If you appreciate my kindness, you will also protect me one day. Isn't that right?"
