Chapter 773: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (45)
He Lanyan's identity is extremely special in Hetao. In terms of military status, she is the commander of the Independent Cavalry Division of the Northern Field Army and a subordinate of Xu Yuan. But she also has another identity, that is, Gao Yuan's engaged wife. . Xu Yuan scratched his head a lot because of this. This was a character that was neither important nor taken lightly. He Lanyan was maverick and had a hot temper. Putting him here really made Xu Yuan worried.
He Lanyan's pregnancy had made Xu Yuan overjoyed. He thought that now his ancestor could finally leave the Hetao and return to Jishi City to rest. Who knew that God was not as good as man, but this ancestor refused to leave. In the end, Gao Yuan Doctor Qiu Debaoqiu could only be sent from Jishi City to be stationed in the army to take care of He Lanyan.
He Lanyan was already five months pregnant. Regardless of whether it was public or private, Xu Yuan felt that there was no need to notify He Lanyan about this war. But looking at He Lanyan's attitude now, he was afraid that he was going to launch an attack.
"General Helan!" He stood up, nodded with a smile, "You are inconvenient, you should rest, why are you here?"
He Lanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Yuan: "It turns out that Commander Xu still remembers that I am a general under your command. Then why did the senior generals meeting of the group army pull me down alone?"
Xu Yuan coughed twice: "Isn't General Helan physically inconvenient?"
"I'm inconvenienced!" He Lanyan walked up to Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei unhappily. The two stood up obediently. Gongsun Yi even pulled out the chair for He Lanyan.
"You two have really improved. You dared to come directly to the meeting without informing me. Do you want to take away my power?" He Lanyan stared at Gongsun Yi.
Sweat immediately fell from Gongsun Yi's face, and it was difficult to shake his hands. "General Helan, that's not the case. We want to report it to the general. But when we go, Doctor Qiu is conditioning you. Commander Xu's place is in dire straits, so we have no choice but to come here first."
He Lanyan sat down calmly and turned to Xu Yuan, "Commander Xu, everyone is here now, can we start?"
Xu Yuan sat down helplessly, "This time the combat mission is to capture Ningyuan and Jingyuan. Jingyuan is stationed with 10,000 Arundai cavalry, while in Ningyuan, Wusu Suotan leads about 10,000 cavalry. There are five thousand cavalry, and there are 20,000 troops adapted from Yan army prisoners of war led by Kumamoto. This time, the key to our battle lies in these 20,000 Yan army. "
He paused and said with some excitement: "Now, I can tell you with certainty that Kumamoto will no longer be our resistance in the future. Instead, it will be our help. They will be the key to our victory in this battle. "
"What the commander is saying is that Kumamoto will join us?"
"Yes,
Among the generals under Kumamoto, including his nephew Xiong Chixuan, three generals have reached an agreement with us, and Kumamoto also has dedicated people to convince him that we will get the final confirmation before the war begins. information. But in my personal opinion, this is a sure thing. Xu Yuan smiled and said: "So." This time the combat mission was a virtual one. It is true that we are going to attack Ningyuan. The first thing our army will dispatch will be the independent cavalry division. "
His eyes turned to the direction where Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei were originally, and what he met was He Lanyan's slightly excited eyes.
"The independent cavalry division will launch an attack towards Shizuhara, and the Second Army will then move in the direction of Shizuhara, making a large-scale offensive gesture to confuse the opponent, while the First Army and the troops directly under the headquarters will compete with Kumamoto's 20,000 The Yan army cooperated and set up an ambush to annihilate the troops from Ningyuan who went to aid Jingyuan. Wusu Suotan was wiped out, and Arundai could not escape the fate of failure. He had no other choice but to flee to Yulin. "Xu Yuan saw. Looking at the crowd, he said with a smile: "The Governor is currently cleaning up things there in Yuyang. After the incident in Yuyang is over, the Governor will come to Hetao again. When the Governor arrives, it will be the beginning of our large-scale attack on Donghu. But before that, I hope that our Northern Army can capture Ningyuan and Jingyuan without any suspense and turn them into a bridgehead for our attack on Donghu."
"Here!" Many generals in the room agreed loudly.
"The key battle of our army's attack on Jingyuan is the first blow of the cavalry troops. All of Arundai's troops stationed in Jingyuan are cavalry. Based on our understanding of Arundai, this person will never stick to the city, but will Leading the army to attack, we hope to defeat our army in the field, so the independent cavalry division has a very heavy task. The independent cavalry division has 15,000 cavalry, which is more than the opponent's. However, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the opponent's cavalry has more. The combat effectiveness is actually stronger than ours.”
"Commander, why should you embody other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" He Lanyan said dissatisfiedly: "In this battle, our independent cavalry division will show its prestige to show the commander. War is not about street busking, nor is it about bravery. Fierce warriors, we are no match for one on one, ten against ten we will still lose, and one hundred against one hundred, 80% of the time we will still lose, but once thousands of cavalry confront each other, I will have the confidence to defeat my opponent, now I have ten thousand There are five thousand cavalry, let alone Arundai's only ten thousand, even if he has twice as many as me, I can still defeat him!"
Seeing He Lanyan's head raised proudly, Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei on the side couldn't help but yelled "Hello", but when they saw Xu Yuan's sideways glance, they immediately lowered their heads.
"If General Helan takes action, then I will naturally feel relieved. Isn't it because General Helan is physically inconvenient? Therefore, this battle can only be commanded by Gongsun Yi. It is natural that I am a little uneasy! "Xu Yuan winked fiercely at Gongsun Yi.
He Lanyan looked at Gongsun Yi with her red phoenix eyes, "Are you the one commanding?"
Gongsun Yi didn't care about Xu Yuan's eyes at this time, and betrayed Xu Yuan cleanly: "Commander Xu appointed him, the last general can only accept the order!"
He Lanyan looked at Xu Yuan angrily, "Commander Xu, I am the commander of the independent cavalry division. I am a general appointed directly by Zhengdong Mansion. Why do you deprive me of my command rights? You are the commander of Zhengdong Mansion. Regardless of the law, if you can't come up with the order from Zhengdong Mansion, I think you are messing with your life. "
Xu Yuan was speechless for a moment, but He Lanyan was right. Generals at the division level and above in the Zhengdong Army were appointed by subordinates in the Zhengdong Mansion. Although he was the commander, he had no power to appoint or remove these senior generals. He Lanyan caught this, leaving him speechless for a moment. He could only look for help at Sun Xiao, who had not said a word.
Sun Xiao stood up with a smile, "Yanzi, Commander Xu, this is for your own good. You are pregnant with the governor's child. On our side, women who are pregnant with children, let alone cavalry, are riding horses." "Liuda, that's extremely dangerous. You must take good care of your fetus. Otherwise, if something happens, who among you can afford it? Gongsun Yi, can you afford it?"
Gongsun Yi waved his hands wildly, "General Helan, why don't you let me take command of this battle?"
He Lanyan glanced contemptuously at everyone present, "That's you. We Huns don't have such particularity. When my mother was pregnant with Liujia, she was still fighting bloody battles with my father on the horse. I was in the saddle. He was born above. He looks good as well. Besides, I also asked Qiu Debao. He said that it was very dangerous before three months. After this time, nothing will happen. "
"How did he know that General Helan was still thinking about going to war?" Xu Yuan shouted. "He's just being what normal people say he is."
He Lanyan snorted, "Commander Xu, in this battle, you will rest and leave me alone, unless you can come up with the Zhengdong Mansion's order to remove the commander of my independent cavalry division."
After leaving these words, He Lanyan walked away.
Xu Yuan's head was dripping with cold sweat. This was not a joke. If something really happened, not to mention that the governor would not spare him, I'm afraid that the ferocious beast He Lanxiong would definitely have trouble with him.
"Leave this matter to me!" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "After the meeting, I took my Duhufu guards to surround Yanzi's house, let alone people, even mosquitoes. If he can't fly one, when you start fighting on the other side, there will be nothing left for Yanzi."
"Well, thank you very much for protecting you. In this Hetao, you are the only one who has the courage to do this. This aunt, I am afraid of him. When the governor comes, even if my forehead is bleeding, I will ask the governor Please send this aunt back to Jishi City to rest and stop causing trouble here." Xu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his face and said, "Gongsun Yi, this battle is still under your command."
"The general knows." Gongsun Yi also wiped the sweat from his face, thinking that after this battle is over, the aunt will definitely be rude to him.
After the meeting, Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei returned to the camp. Without saying a word, they immediately raised their troops and set out immediately, leaving the aunt aside first. Although both of them were afraid of He Lanyan, they were more afraid of He Lanyan than letting the pain in He Lanyan's stomach. When something goes wrong with their child, the two of them still feel that the former will make them suffer less.
The army marched for more than ten miles, but there was still no movement behind them. Both of them let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Sun Xiao had really trapped He Lanyan. Otherwise, how could such a big movement of the cavalry's departure be hidden from someone like He Lanyan? Great expert?
The two of them were looking at each other and smiling, but there was a sudden commotion in the team. The two of them couldn't help being furious. The cavalry division under He Lanyan's command was very strict in running the army, because He Lanyan knew that it was difficult to compete with the Donghu cavalry in terms of the quality of the cavalry. To compete with each other, after the success of the Black Guard experiment, it was vigorously promoted throughout the cavalry division. This made the cavalry division pay more attention to discipline and rules than other units.
But when the two of them saw the two people who suddenly appeared from the commotion, their eyes widened. It turned out that one of the two people was He Lanyan and the other was her personal guard Sula.
"You, you..." Gongsun Yi pointed at the two of them, both of them stuttered.
"What are you? How can you hide your little calculation from me? Hey, Sun Xiao and his people trapped my other guard Wula. I have been hiding in the army a long time ago. I want to follow me Dou, you should be more mature." He Lanyan said proudly. (To be continued)
