"Deputy Director, the Seventh Soldier Battalion is ready. Can we set off?" Zhang Sancha looked at Li Shuheng.
The seventh combat soldier camp only changed its name from the supply camp and added a deputy battalion commander who was sent from the third combat soldier camp. Everything else was the same as the previous supply camp.
"You and the 7th Soldier Camp will stay in camp for one more day." Li Shuheng said, "This time you are going to meet up with the 1st Soldier Camp. You will be followed by a brigade of armored cavalry on the way."
When Zhang Sancha heard that there were also cavalry leaving Daheihe this time, he immediately stood at attention and said: "Yes, I obey my order."
Ma Yunjiu, who was standing next to Li Shuheng, suddenly said: "Tan Zaiwang, your First Cavalry Brigade is on the road with the Seventh Cavalry Battalion."
"Yes." Tan Zaiwang, who was standing behind, agreed.
Li Shuheng said to Zhang Sancha at this time: "Your seventh combat soldier camp will see what else is needed. I will ask the third combat soldier camp to cooperate with you to prepare everything you need."
"Replying to the deputy director, the Seventh Soldier Camp is lacking everything. However, if Zhang Yingzheng is willing, he can give the two nine-pound cannons to his subordinates." After saying this, Zhang Sancha winked at Zhang Hong. Blinked.
Zhang Hong's face darkened and he said, "I can tell you didn't hold it in well enough just by looking at your pout. You're actually thinking about my two nine-pound cannons. You want them? There's no way."
"Zhang Yingzheng, you can't say that. What do you mean I didn't hold my shit in? I can't use those two nine-pound cannons just because I put them in your hands. What a waste. Why don't you give them to us?" The military camp is used to fight the Mongols, so it can be considered a good use." Zhang Sancha said with a smile.
Zhang Hong raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Sancha, and said with a smile: "Get away, don't worry about the nine-pounder cannon of our Third Soldier Battalion. It's like our Third Soldier Battalion doesn't fight the Mongols."
"Stingy." Zhang Sancha curled his lips.
Zhang Hong's face turned dark and he said: "You are so good at getting an advantage here. The cannons of the Seventh Soldier Battalion are provided by our Third Soldier Battalion. Why don't we be stingy? Otherwise, you will use up all those cannons." return."
There are also cannons in the supply camp, but there are not many of them. There are only four cannons in a large camp. It is not like a military camp. Any squadron with hundreds of people is equipped with four cannons.
Li Shuheng watched the two people bickering and said with a smile: "The nine-pounder is difficult to carry, so I won't give it to your 7th Soldier Battalion, but I can give you a six-pounder."
"Yes, my subordinates all obey the deputy director." Zhang Sancha stood at attention and saluted, grinning widely.
He originally had no hope of getting a nine-pounder cannon from Zhang Hong. The six-pounder cannon was his target. Now that he had a six-pounder cannon for free, he was so happy that he almost grinned to the back of his head.
When he heard that a six-pound cannon was about to be sent out, Zhang Hong felt a look of pain on his face.
They don't have many six-pounders in the Third Soldier Battalion, and now they have to allocate one to Zhang Sancha's Seventh Soldier Battalion. Moreover, this is an order from the deputy director, so he must give it to him even if he is reluctant to part with it.
Seeing Zhang Sancha's face beaming with joy, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to slap him in the face with the sole of his shoe.
Li Shuheng smiled at Zhang Sancha and said: "Okay, your camp is quickly bringing back the news that your supply camp has been transformed into a war camp, so that they can also be happy and happy, and by the way, prepare everything that needs to be prepared, and tomorrow morning About to leave."
"Yes." Zhang Sancha gave Li Shuheng a military salute with a tiger-shaped flag, then looked at Zhang Hong and said with a smile, "Zhang Yingzheng, don't forget to send the deputy Yingzheng of our 7th Soldier Battalion over when you turn around. , and don’t forget the six-pounder gun by the way.”
Zhang Hong's face turned darker.
Zhang Sancha laughed loudly when he saw Zhang Hong's expression, and then left.
Li Shuheng said to Ma Yunjiu beside him: "Let the armored cavalry battalion also prepare."
"Yes." Ma Yunjiu agreed, turned and left.
Leaving with him were two cavalry captains from the armored cavalry battalion.
At this time, only Wu Bin and Zhang Hong were left beside Li Shuheng.
He smiled and said to Zhang Hong: "Don't feel bad about your cannon. The Seventh Soldier Battalion will be the main force against the Mongolian army in the future. With one more cannon, maybe there will be more security."
"The deputy director is right, my subordinate is angry." Zhang Hong nodded vigorously.
It's not that he didn't know that giving the cannon to Zhang Sancha's 7th War Soldier Battalion would play a greater role, but as the commander of the War Barracks, no one would be willing to give away their good stuff to others for free.
There used to be some of the earliest people who came to the grassland to build forts in the Daheihe Dunbu. Since the Tiger-Character Banner came to the grassland to build forts again, these people have arranged to build new forts.
However, some of this group of people still chose to stay in the fortress of Dahei River and formed a team of thousands.
The backbone of this thousand-man team is composed of soldiers from the Third Soldier Battalion, which can be regarded as the reserve team of the Third Soldier Battalion.
This also makes the Third Soldier Camp nominally a camp of more than 3,000 soldiers, but in fact it is a special camp of nearly 5,000 soldiers.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Heng dared to transfer Zhang Sancha's supply camp, leaving only the Third Soldier Battalion to garrison here in Daheihe alone.
Different from other newly built piers, the pier garrisoned by the Third Soldier Battalion is the closest to Qingcheng and Bansheng City, and is also at the forefront. It is not connected behind like other piers, so it can be supported at any time. .
It can be said that the Dunbao where the Third Soldier Battalion is stationed is an isolated city. Once a war breaks out with Tumut Ten Thousand Households, it may be besieged by the Mongolian army at any time.
The day passed quickly.
As soon as daylight dawned, Zhang Sancha led the newly established 7th Soldier Battalion and left the pier guarded by the 3rd Soldier Battalion, along with Tan Zaiwang's armored cavalry brigade.
It's officially hot season.
You can only rush in the morning and evening. When the weather gets hot at noon, the team needs to stop to rest and escape the heat.
An army of 4,000 people suddenly appeared on the grassland. Naturally, it could not be concealed from the Mongolians around the pasture. What's more, there were sentries posted by Mongolian Taiji in the Dahei River. As soon as the army left the fort, the news was passed back by these sentries. .
There were also some Mongolian sentries following Zhang Sancha's team, observing the team along the road.
These Mongolian sentries could not escape the eyes of the cavalry led by Tan Zaiwang. However, because the Mongols had not officially started war with the Tiger Banner, he could only send cavalry to drive these Mongolian sentries far away.
Zhang Sancha's seventh battalion of soldiers were all infantry, and they carried nearly twenty cannons, so their marching speed was not very fast.
The armored cavalry brigade that came out of the fort together served as the eyes of the Seventh Soldier Battalion, and sent out sentries scattered around to guard against Mongolian sneak attacks.
The relationship between the Tiger-Character Banner and the Tumut tribes has reached the edge of war at any time. As the Tiger-Character Banner soldiers and horses marching on the grassland, they must be on guard against the Mongols at any time.
