I’m The King Chapter 612: : Higher skies

Keeping the soldiers of Hejian County under the command of Yan Peng to remain independent was one of the conditions for Yan Shenghao to lead Hejian County to surrender to Gaoyuan. Hidden danger, Yan Shenghao wants Hejian County soldiers to come to Hetao to make contributions to prove the value of Hejian County. And Yan Peng is very proud of their last army, but obviously, they all overestimated the ability of this army.

Fortunately, Yan Peng realized it too early, although this realization was bought with the blood of countless soldiers. Let Hejian County soldiers voluntarily accept the reorganization, this is what Gao Yuan wanted.

Besides that, perhaps Luo Weiran and Chen Bin, the two former generals of the Yan Army, had a lot in common. They both served under Kumamoto and came from commoner families. If so, the two of them have already reached the pinnacle of their military careers when they reached the level of a lieutenant general. A soldier who came from a commoner, for more than ten years, relied on his own ability to reach the position of general step by step, and there would never be a weak person.

In fact, the two of them survived in Kumamoto's vanguard army, which has proved their worth. In this battle with Yu Wenke, the two of them showed abilities far higher than ordinary people.

Now that the two of them are in the Eastern Expedition Army, they are both holding heavy soldiers. Perhaps, in the Yan State Standing Army, they will never imagine that they will have the status they have today. They may still have some nostalgia for the Yan State Standing Army, But Gao Yuan believes that these two people will become the pillars of the East Conquest Army in a short time.

Shangguan Hong walked in lightly, "Captain, Chen Ping is here."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Gao Yuan said, "Let him in."

Chen Ping was a little apprehensive. He didn't know why Gao Yuan was summoned alone. Both of them were born as commoners, but differently, in just five years, this high governor has become famous all over the world. There is no man who doesn't want to dominate the situation. People like them in the world and privately regard Gao Yuan as an idol in their hearts.

Luo Weiran had already left Pioneer City and returned to his army with Yan Peng, and after the two met, they didn't even chat privately, not because they couldn't, but because they didn't want to. Their identities are a little embarrassing. In such an army, they all hold heavy soldiers. Any strange behavior may be suspected by others. Both of them are cautious people. Generals of their background, if they are not careful Be cautious, and there will be no today.

Walking into the room, Gao Yuan was reviewing a report with his head down. Chen Ping did not interrupt, but carefully looked at the General Zhengdong in front of him, who had always made him feel heartbroken. , Gao Yuan is young and enviable. At the age of more than 20 years old, he already holds several counties in his hands, controls tens of thousands of soldiers, stomps his feet, not to mention the whole world, Yan Guo is going to shake three earthquakes anyway. As for himself, already in his mid-thirties, he had only "mixed" into the position of a lieutenant general, and finally became a prisoner shamefully, although it was not his fault.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. Compared with many of his colleagues, he was already considered lucky. There was no way out, and there was another village in the dark. He thought that his military career had come to an end. But I didn't expect that there would be a day when thousands of soldiers and horses in the palm of their hands would launch a desperate charge towards the enemy.

My heart trembled slightly, looking at the young man who was still writing hard, could it be that the turning point of my life would come true in this person? He is also from a commoner background, and the generals he uses, except Yan Peng, are basically from the poor family, like Sun Xiao, Xu Yuan, and they all hold high positions in his system, and their abilities can be compared with those of others. Not worse than them.

Although Gao Yuan was writing in his hand, he kept his attention on Chen Bin, sensing his gaze, his breathing, from rapid to steady, then to rapid, and finally completely After relaxing himself, Gao Yuan raised his head with a smile, "General Chen Ping!"

"Captain!" Chen paralleled a military salute, and Gao Yuan noticed that he was performing a military salute unique to the Zhengdong Army, not a common etiquette among Yan's standing army.

"Sit down!" Gao Yuan smiled, pointing to a chair beside him.

"There is no seat for me in front of the governor!" Chen Ping shook his head.

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The army is full of Paoze brothers, and right now it's not a Chinese military account that marches and fights to issue orders. You may not know that when Xu Yuan and the others came to my place, they always just pull up chairs and sit when they see good things. Just put the guy in your arms, don't be restrained."

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment, walked to the chair with big strides, sat down flat and steady, put his hands on his knees, and kept his upper body straight.

"You are in the Eastern Conquest Army, are you doing well?" Gao Yuan leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his fingers, very relaxed and casual.

"Very well, if Commander Xu hadn't sent troops to rescue us, I'm afraid we would still be under the whip of the Donghu people and plow the fields for them. I can even command a combat force of 5,000 people, which I never dared to imagine before.”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Xu Yuan knows people and is good at responsibility. It is because you have this ability that he will give you this opportunity. Similarly, you have done a good job and have lived up to his trust."

"A scholar dies for his confidant."

Gao Yuan nodded, "I came to you today mainly to inquire about the situation of the Donghu army. I am not afraid of your jokes. Everyone in the world says that I am the nemesis of the Donghu people. They say that I have won every battle against the Donghu people. , I have never lost a battle, this is actually nonsense, not to mention anything else, just because of our Eastern Expedition last year, I escaped from Donghu with my tail between my legs. Therefore, I really want to know about the Donghu army, especially their The specific situation of the palace guards."

When Gao Yuan mentioned the war last year, Chen Bin's eyes showed pain, but in an instant, they turned into fierceness again, and the two expressions flashed in his eyes , but still did not hide from Gao Yuan's eyes.

He took a deep breath: "Returning to the governor, after entering the Donghu control area from the west of Liaoning, our vanguard army has been fighting tough battles, from being vulnerable at the beginning, slowly starting to be evenly matched, and finally , we finally had a head-to-head battle with their palace guards under Helin City."

He looked up at Gao Yuan, "The palace guard army is completely different from other Donghu troops."

"To be more specific, how is it different?"

"The number of palace guards is not large, and it will never exceed 30,000 cavalry. The last battle with us at Helin City is less than 10,000 cavalry." Chen Bin raised his head and closed his eyes slightly. The **** scene of the last battle kept flashing: "Different from the general Donghu army fighting, the palace guard army has strict combat formation and formation changes, quick response and quick response. I just saw it. Our Yan army does not have many cavalry, because we usually pay more attention to this change of formation, so that we can rely on the strength of the team to fight against the enemy, but the general Donghu army doesn't care about this, they rely more on their superb skills. It is good to say that such an army can fight with the wind, but once it fights against the wind, it cannot last long. Of course, this is also determined by the characteristics of nomads, but their palace guards, But it subverted our idea, because their superb riding skills made them more tolerant of changing formations. Many of the tactics we had imagined before the Yan Army could not be completed because of the quality of the cavalry, but in their hands, It's easy. Our vanguard army can be regarded as one of the most capable troops in the standing army, but in the end at Helin City, they were still defeated by them. That feeling is a little hopeless."

"How many of you were left?" Gao Yuan asked.

"At that time, there were less than 10,000 people left in the vanguard army." Chen Bin said, but he went on to say: "But the commander, the number of cavalry is about the same as ours, but when the infantry formed a tight battle formation, the cavalry There is nothing to be afraid of, because what they are afraid of is only the first round of impact, so we will still have the belief that we will win, of course, the result gave us a heavy blow.”

Gao Yuan frowned, Chen Bin is not a person who is afraid of death, as can be seen from his performance in this battle, but he is obviously afraid of the palace guards.

"After this battle, have you thought about how to defeat this palace guard army?" Gao Yuan asked.

Chen Bin finally cheered up a bit, "Of course I want to, I dream about it, but there is no good way, unless there is a cavalry with similar combat effectiveness as them. There is a glimmer of hope.”

"Oh, do you think the Zhengdong Army is capable of fighting them?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise: "To be honest, I don't think the combat effectiveness of the Zhengdong Army is much higher than that of the standing army?"

"The Zhengdong Army has a sharp weapon against cavalry!" Chen Bin said.

"You are talking about arms crossbows."

"Yes, with a crossbow arm and a longer spear. Most of the standard spears in the army are over two meters old. It's okay to deal with ordinary Donghu troops, but it can't be used against the Palace Guard Army. At least you have to have Four meters long."

"Four meters long?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, four meters long, there is no need to use good materials, as long as a four-meter-long wooden pole is equipped with an iron spear head. This way, a large number of infantry can be equipped. Zhang Nu conducts cover shooting, and first conducts long-distance strikes as much as possible, and then fights with the opponent, with this four-meter-long long spear stabbing, it will be victorious.”

"How much will it cost?"

"It depends on the specific situation." Chen Bin told the truth, "If our side is prepared, the casualties can be controlled at two to one, and a large number of casualties will only occur in the short-term contact between the two sides. Within a certain period of time, it will be under the control of our army in the future, and if we are not prepared enough, there is no chance of winning."

Gao Yuan took a deep breath. Doesn't this mean that they have 30,000 palace guards, and they have to use 60,000 to fill them.

"Since you think this method is feasible, this matter will be 'entrusted' to you to do it. Arms are tense, as much as you want, and as much as you are given, the long spear you just mentioned is not troublesome, if you want to do it yourself You can do it well, how long do you need to train?"

"Three months to half a year."

"Okay, let's take this as the deadline. After half a year, we will meet each other's palace guards. At that time, I hope you will not let me down." Gao Yuan said.

"Definitely not!" Chen Bin suddenly stood up.

Gao Yuan looked at the other party, and suddenly asked with a smile: "General Chen, if one day you can return to the standing army of Yan State, will you go back?"

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Commander, I am just a small lieutenant general in the standing army. I am worried that I will not be able to keep this position. Whenever some descendants of aristocratic families come to the army to cross the gold, we are all terrified, but when it comes to the Eastern Expedition Army, I am now leading an army of 5,000 people, and I even fight with the Eastern Hu people My journey in the standing army has come to an end, but in the eastern army, my journey has just begun.”

Gao Yuan laughed, clasped his hands together and said: "This is a good word, do it well, the Eastern Army will help you get what you want, as high as you can fly, I will give you as high a sky as possible."
