"Good!" Qiushou praised loudly. This plan was very clever. He concentrated his forces and defeated them one by one. Shou admired his lord more and more!”
"Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du have always been eyeing the three counties like tigers eyeing their prey. My lord, you must guard against them!" Gao Shun asked.”
Qiushou's eyes opened slightly as he stroked his beard and asked Gao Shun,""Bogao guessed that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan would take the opportunity to attack the three counties?”
Liu Heng nodded." Commandant Gao is right. That Gongsun Du has been plotting against Xuantu. Do you remember the time he came to see me training the new army?"
Not to mention Gongsun Zan, when he bought the position of prefect of the right Beiping, this grudge was formed!”
Ju Shou's gaze fell on Yuyang and Liaodong." That's true. We have to guard against the two of them. If they take advantage of the situation and cause the three counties to suffer losses, it won't be good.”
Hearing this, Liu Heng used the boxing case: "Alright, let's fight a big battle! [Command, Yang Le's Heavy Cavalry Regiment 1 and Xu Wu's Light Cavalry Regiment 2 to gather at Ling Zhi immediately.]
Liu Ping's 2nd Bow and Crossbow Regiment went to Fei Ru, while Wei Commandant commanded the 2nd Light Infantry Regiment to go north to deal with Su Puyan.
Commandant Gao will immediately lead the 1st Light Cavalry Regiment to Lingzhi. I will lead the 1st Crossbow Regiment and the 1st Light Infantry Regiment led by Commandant Sun.
Ju Gong stayed in Hanyang to dispatch and report the situation of the war to all parties at any time.
Chen Hu and Qin Feng led the 1,100 Xuantu soldiers and the 1st Heavy Infantry Regiment to defend Liaodong and Goguryeo. Zhao Feng and Du Lei led the 400 Youbei soldiers and the 2nd Heavy Infantry Regiment.
Xiao Gang immediately set off for Liaoxi to command the county soldiers to help the people take refuge and the army fight.”
The generals agreed in unison.
It was already late at night, and the people of Hanyang City, who had not yet heard the news of the Wuhuan's attack, were still immersed in the sea of joy. Gongs and drums were cheering, singing and dancing, and the celebrating crowd filled the streets and alleys.
However, the soldiers of the Heyang Military Camp had already returned to their rooms to rest. The huge military camp was silent.
The new army worked and slept according to the same standard: The reveille horn was blown at dawn and the rest horn was blown at night. All the soldiers went to bed on time. Of course, there was no lack of emergency training at night.
However, this newly-gained peace was about to be broken. The new army, which had been born for less than a year, was about to face the cruelest test since it was formed!
On the night of September 27th, the sixth year of Guanghe (AD 183), the quiet night sky was suddenly broken by a short and urgent horn. The emergency assembly horn sounded: "Wuuu
The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were suddenly awakened by the sound of the horn. After confirming that it was an emergency assembly, they immediately checked to see if there were still sleeping comrades around them. Then, they got up and put on their helmets and armor, ran to the weapons storage rack at the door, picked up their own sabers, and finally quickly ran to the stable according to the platoon formation.
When the orderly heard the bugle call, he immediately got up and equipped the horses in the stable with harnesses, crossbows, and arrows.
The entire camp could only hear the urgent bugle call and the sound of soldiers running.
Squads of soldiers rushed to the stables, mounted their warhorses that had been readied with horses and arrows, and galloped to the military camp.
Other than the company that was on patrol that night, the rest of the soldiers were in a state of high tension.
Gao Shun accompanied Liu Heng to stand on the platform and watch everything in the military camp. Two years ago, he had never thought of this scene. Occasionally, he would only hope to be promoted to a hundred-rank commander or a marquis.
Although he had made contributions in every battle, he was still a small sergeant after joining the army for several years because of the corrupt officials. If he had not met Liu Heng, let alone himself, Zhang Xian would not have been able to escape his bad luck.
Thinking of this, Gao Shun's usually serious face actually revealed a trace of gentleness.
Looking at the strong cavalry that he had personally trained, Gao Shun was clear in his heart: Liu Heng had fulfilled his promise, and now it was time for him to fulfill it.
On the drill ground, the cavalrymen were like streams of water flowing in and out, forming companies and battalions.
The sergeant chief checked the number of people and reported it to the company commander. After the company commander finished counting the total number of people in the company, he reported it to the battalion commander. Finally, the battalion commanders reported to the deputy commander,"Reporting to the vice commander, the 1st Battalion has assembled. All 256 people are here.”
"Reporting to the deputy regiment commander, the 2nd Battalion has assembled. All 256 people are present.”
When all the soldiers arrived, the deputy commander ordered,""Stand by and wait for instructions!"
In just 15 minutes, a full cavalry regiment of 1,000 cavalrymen had gathered.
Gao Shun handed over the transfer documents and transfer tokens printed by the Military Governor's Office and stamped with Governor Liu Heng's seal to the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment for inspection.
This document used the encryption technology created by Liu Heng. There were 100 words on it that could be interpreted in different ways. In the hands of each deputy commander, there was a corresponding booklet with the specific method of cracking it.
First of all, according to the first five words in the booklet, he found the corresponding series of numbers. Then, he found the corresponding words in the document according to the numbers. Then, he compared them with the words in the booklet. Only when they were exactly the same would he be able to obtain a real military deployment document.
Each deputy regiment commander had a copy of the code book, and each copy was different. It was also updated irregularly, basically preventing the occurrence of fake documents and false troop movements.
In addition, only in emergencies such as: Only when the enemy launched a sneak attack, when the enemy invaded, when they suppressed a rebellion, and so on, could they carry out emergency mobilization without the need for a military mobilization document, only using a token.
"The transfer order has been confirmed. The command of the 1st Light Cavalry Regiment will be handed over to Commandant Gao.”
Then, the deputy commander took half a step back and waited for his orders. "Please instruct me, Viceroy," said Gao Shun.”
Liu Heng scanned the surroundings and began the extremely important pre-battle mobilization."In the battle to exterminate the mountain bandits in July, because of the terrain, the cavalry was not able to be of much use. We could only watch the light and heavy infantry and crossbowmen show their might.
Many experienced veterans must have seen through this emergency assembly. Yes, this was not a training exercise, nor was it a drill. It was a real enemy attack! It was the Wuhuan who had been bullying, pillaging, burning and killing the villagers of Youzhou Province last year!”
When the soldiers heard that the Wuhuan had come to plunder again, many of them who had a deep hatred for each other immediately shouted,"I swear to kill the Wuhuan and avenge my loved ones!”
In an instant, his blood boiled, and the entire drill ground was immediately ignited with the flames of revenge.
"Many people know that the Wuhuan cavalry is powerful. They have swept across the grasslands and suppressed the Xianbei and Xiongnu."”
At this point, Liu Heng suddenly changed the topic."However, as the Governor of the three counties, I have to tell you this: The Wuhuan people are about to become history because we have the support and hope of the people of the three counties. We have well-equipped and well-trained soldiers. The weakness of the past no longer exists.
This time, the enemy has chosen to fight in Ling Zhi County, which has vast plains and forests. They want to bully us with their cavalry again. What do you think we should do?”
The soldiers were silent for a moment before they suddenly drew their swords and pointed them at the sky. At the same time, they burst out into a tsunami of shouts."Kill the Wuhuan and take revenge!"
Liu Heng was also infected by this atmosphere and said excitedly,"Good! The soldiers of the new army, please remember the earth-shaking cry tonight, remember this world-shaking spirit, go to the battlefield, use the heads of the Wuhuan people to pay homage to their dead relatives, use the blood of the Wuhuan people to comfort their fallen comrades, use the sabers to cut a path to victory, use the hooves to step on a bright future, and use the corpses of the Wuhuan people to tell the world that the new army is invincible!”
Gao Shun took a step forward and ordered,"All troops, listen up! Set off immediately, target Liaoxi Ling Branch!”
The Light Cavalry Regiment, which was the first to assemble, set off under Gao Shun's leadership. Liu Heng immediately rushed to the Infantry Barracks, where they had also assembled.
After the same passionate and inspiring speech, he immediately set off for the western branch of Liaoning.
In order to increase mobility, Liu Heng transferred all the carriages of the service regiment to the crossbowmen, hoping to strengthen the guards before Wu Yan's main force arrived.
The cavalry and crossbowmen left the forest camp and boarded the highway that was still under construction, heading toward Liaoxi Prefecture.
The infantrymen could only rely on their two legs to walk. However, Liu Heng already had a plan in his mind. In the future, the infantrymen would also have enough mobility.
On the same day, Mu Xin, who had a secret mission, left Hanyang with fifty soldiers.
Before they left, Ju Shou repeatedly reminded them," After we arrive at the Dun Yu tribe, we will discuss the purchase of extra horses with them. We will also ask them to help spread the rumors of the Han Dynasty sending troops to the Murong tribe, Que Ju tribe, and Su Li tribe. We just need to make the Wuhuan spread rumors."”
Mu Xin's expression was firm." Please rest assured, Duke Ju. Mu Xin will definitely arrive at Dun Yu Tribe within five days. After ten days, he will definitely cause the Wuhuan Tribe to be in chaos!”
Ju Shou patted his shoulder lightly." You have the most responsibility and the greatest relationship in this battle plan. You are the key to the overall strategy. Once it succeeds, it will make up for the disadvantage of our lack of troops.”
