Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 27 Prelude
The barracks and battle field outside Kuqa City are very strict. The continuous tents show that this place is no longer the empty barracks of the past. The hurried infantry and cavalry seemed to have a lot more serious expressions. Judging from the numbers and the race of the soldiers, they knew that these troops did not belong to a group. The passage of ordinary people indicates that something important will happen. Although they come from all sides, there is one thing that is surprisingly consistent, that is, almost every soldier's face is shining with excitement and eagerness, even the soldiers who are ordered to stand guard always have a longing look on their faces .
A group of cavalry surrounded several cavalry and rolled up the yellow dust from a distance along the avenue. Although it was clear from a distance that the opponent's clothing should be the Northwest Army, and there were only a few dozen cavalry, but the battalion The sentry post at the gate and the lookout post on the sentry tower immediately went on alert, and the crossbow on the sentry tower quietly adjusted its aiming position, maintaining a state of high alert. The cavalry who came all over the camp paused at the gate of the camp. After a vague password, the guard post on the guard tower at the gate and the gate guard saluted respectfully at the same time, and a group of people entered in a neat line.
"Heizi, it seems that the army commander has arrived, right?" Seeing a group of people disappearing into the barracks, the lookout who was standing guard on the sentry tower excitedly asked the mobile sentry standing at the door. road.
"Well, it's really the commander of the legion. It seems that this time we finally caught up with a good show. After holding it in for so long, our hands are almost itchy. The whole day is full of exercises and training. Although it is an actual combat exercise, I always feel that it is not as refreshing as the enemy's white knife in and red knife out. If we don't fight two more battles, our Second Division will soon become a defensive team." The mobile sentry is obviously a veteran soldier. Son, the bloodthirsty light appeared on his dark and thin face, he smacked his lips, and said a little unwillingly: "The last raid on Indian was not our turn, but let us deal with the **** in the Western Regions, but These guys are too disappointing, and they died down in a short while, and they haven't even had enough addiction, isn't this a tantalizing thing?"
"I said Heizi, you are about to become a **** murderer? Look at the dozens of soldiers under you, grinning all day long, I think they are infected with bloodthirsty disease, come on Isn’t it enough that the people from the Loulan Military Judiciary Department have made you suffer? Don’t think about rushing all day long, you have to see the enemy clearly, and if you kill the wrong civilians, I’m afraid you, the captain, will have to walk away.” Probably because he was very familiar with this officer named Heizi, he stood on the sentry tower and looked around while looking around while tsk-tsk.
"Hmph, why are we raising soldiers if we don't fight wars? We don't know how to farm the land, we don't know how to forge iron, we can dance guns and sticks, we are born to eat this bowl of food, and we don't fight all the time. It's not a taste." The swimming whistle replied blankly, "I hope this time I can catch up with a good battle."
"Heizi, you said that we came here from Loulan mysteriously this time, so you won't let us have another actual combat drill, right? I'm so tired of actual combat drills, so I came all the way to do it again What kind of drill, that's really unappetizing." Standing on the top of the sentry tower, the watchman reached out and took off the longbow hanging from his waist, took a deep breath, tried his arm strength, and lamented: "If you don't let the bow in your hand taste the taste of human blood, our bow skills will soon be ruined."
"Hey, I don't think it's that simple this time." The indifferent Whistle showed a complacent look for the first time.
"Oh? Heizi, do you have any inside information? Let me hear it." The lookout post on the sentry tower regained energy, quickly retracted the bow, and asked impatiently.
"Didn't you see who is here this time? The First Division arrived two days before us, and they probably set off with us. The boys from the United Army of the Western Regions also rushed over. Look It looks like a team of 30,000 people has come, which means that the main force has been pulled out. I took a look and found that they are all veterans. I heard that they have formed another team of 20,000 people with Master Li's approval. If it is a drill, why not Bring the new recruits to train, but bring the old team? Hehe, can't you smell the smell? Now even the army leader has rushed over, this is definitely not a drill, it is clearly to fight It's a big battle." Somewhat showing off, he glanced at the comrades who were standing on the high place who were beaming with joy, and shrugged his nose, "Maybe it won't be long before we can smell the fresh smell of human blood again. , I really miss it."
"Heizi, are you saying that we are really going to war?" The lookout post was so excited that his voice trembled a little, "No wonder when I went to the battalion captain to give orders yesterday, I saw the regimental captain accompanying the division commander. The head of the regiment inspected the logistics supplies of each brigade. If it wasn't for a big battle, the head of the division would never have such patience to inspect each brigade. However, in the wilderness of Kuqa, who is worthy of our big fight? Even the guys from the Allied Army of the Western Regions have used it, so the Luobei people are dishonest, right?"
As for which side the attack target is, the sharp-looking mobile whistle also seems a little uncertain. After all, low-level officers like them only need to strictly follow the orders of their superiors to fight the enemy. It is really too difficult for them to guess who is the enemy and who is the friend. The Luobei people have changed from enemies to friends, and from friends to enemies, and they are now in such an unpredictable position. Even the political analysts of the empire find it difficult to deduce the relationship between the Luobei people and the Northwest. What kind of relationship, let alone the average person.
Coughing dryly, Wandering Whistle showed a hesitant look on his face: "Impossible, the Luobei people still have the guts to provoke us now? It's enough that we didn't bully them. Could it be the Indians? Is it worth our trouble to teach them a lesson?"
The lookout post standing on the watch tower also looked puzzled, and couldn't figure out which one was worthy of his side's mobilization.
Cui Wenxiu, who had just stepped into the barracks, hadn't even had time to finish washing when a burly man in full armor strode to the door of the room.
"Huyanqiu has met Master Cui!" The loud voice had a slight foreign accent, and he had a brown-yellow beard, long beard, flashing eyes, thick leather armor, and several spots all over his body. The vitals are all covered with iron leaves, a gorgeous and simple crescent-shaped waist knife hangs obliquely on the waist, and thick cowhide boots kick up a trace of dust.
"Brother Huyan, why are you and I so alienated? Come, come, come in and sit." Seeing the strong man come in, Cui Wenxiu dropped the towel in her hand, motioned for the guards to take the towel and hot water away, and greeted him with a smile. Go forward, hold the other person's big hand and greet him eagerly to enter the room.
"Hehe, brother Cui, public affairs should be put before private ones, and etiquette cannot be broken. If someone from the military law department sees it, they will gossip again." The bearded man also smiled and replied blinking.
"Military Judicial Department? If you and my brother's private friendship is also restricted by the Military Judicial Department, then is Mi Feng's hand too long?" He asked rhetorically: "Why, Brother Huyan, who is not afraid of anything, is also afraid of people from the Military Law Department?"
"But Brother Cui, you didn't come to Kuqa today to talk about personal friendship. I think we have more important things to do." smile. "Brother Cui seems to have some opinions on the people in the Military Judicial Department. The Military Judicial Department handles affairs independently, and even Master Li cannot interfere casually. Brother Cui, you and I are both in charge of the army outside, and you have been following Master Li all the time. Under his command, we should be more cautious."
"Oh?" Cui Wenxiu's heart trembled ~IndoMTL.com~ The other party seemed to have something to say, and she was just a random joke, which attracted such meaningful words from the other party, which made Cui Wenxiu a little bit Be vigilant, "Brother Huyan, there seems to be no need to hide between you and me. If Brother Huyan thinks that Wenxiu has done something wrong, please feel free to speak up."
"Hehe, Brother Cui is serious. Originally, Brother Cui is the commander-in-chief of the Central Continent Theater, and Hu Yanqiu and the Western Regions United Army are also members of the Central Continent Theater. There are some things that Hu Yanqiu shouldn't have said, but Cui Brother Since Huyanqiu is a brother, he can say some things well." Huyanqiu's dark brown eyes were full of wisdom.
"Brother Cui, as the commander-in-chief of the Central Continental War Zone, originally, Brother Cui was in charge of all military affairs in the Central Continent, but this Indian affairs may not be as simple as you and I imagined. Since the Tik people dared to They must have made a lot of preparations to attack the Hyderabadians ignoring our presence on the Senge Plain. I am afraid they have also estimated the lack of troops on our side. At present, the Tik people have no strong enemies around them, and the troops they can mobilize At least more than 400,000, ants kill elephants, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Tik army may not be as vulnerable as we expected. According to what we know now, they have easily defeated several lines of defense of the Hyderabadi. This at least proves that the Tik army is not weak."
"Brother Cui also knows that although my lord's focus has always been on the east, India has always been my lord's favorite place. If we recklessly intervene in the Indian war, once the battle goes wrong or comes to a stalemate , It will definitely endanger our reputation and influence on the Senge Plain, and this is probably worthy of our prudence." Hu Yanqiu did not take into account the other party's expression, and expounded his own point of view on his own.
