Chapter 1776 (1/2)

Qingyun state, Kongzhou in the north of Xinjiang, is full of mountains and lots of people.

The so-called barbarians are a group of powerful nomadic people outside the northern Xinjiang. They are tall and rude. They covet the land in the north of Qingyun country. They love to invade in spring, summer and autumn every year.

The total number of troops in Kongzhou's Northern Xinjiang is 100000. Apart from the northern Xinjiang army, the local government Garrison has another 100000 and 200000 troops that do not return to a single battalion. However, if barbarians invade, occasionally two sides cooperate to fight against the enemy.

The northern Xinjiang army is under the jurisdiction of general Gu Chao, and the garrison is under the control of general Qiao Ding.

Qiao Ding has a trouble in this period of time. The source of trouble comes from a soldier named Rong Ye.

Rong's surname is not uncommon in Qingyun. At first, Qiao didn't take this soldier named Rong seriously. He joined the Kongzhou garrison in February 2014 when the spring soldiers were recruited.

He was not tall, with thin arms and legs. He stood with a group of rookie like recruits, crooked melons and cracked dates. At a glance, he was not heroic.

In addition to the daily training, most of the time, the new soldiers do the physical work of guarding and patrolling. They will be occasionally sent to run on the mountain, help the nearby mountain people resist something, help the old, the weak, the women and the children climb the mountain path and so on. It's not difficult. They are all grass-roots work.

This is called the little soldier of Rong Ye. At first, he was so common and ordinary. Except for his skin and flesh, he was occasionally ridiculed by the old pundits. There was nothing special about him.

It started in March this year.

In the early spring of March, the barbarians invaded again. After a winter rest, the barbarians had enough to eat and drink, and began to prepare for the war.

At first, it was only a small-scale harassment. Later, the three tribes of barbarians were integrated. In mid March, they unified 90000 troops and horses, and made a direct and large-scale advance.

As soon as the northern Xinjiang army returned to Beijing about the invasion of barbarians, the counter attack agenda was put on the table.

There are 90000 barbarians and 200000 troops in Kongzhou. Can you be afraid of him? It must be not afraid, but we can't fight under the gate. There are people outside the city. There are many good fields and water sources. The army of Kongzhou is not the only way to win. They want to drive the barbarians out of Kongzhou, at least 100 miles.

In this process, they have to not only expel the enemy, but also ensure that the good farmland and water source are not damaged. If conditions permit, they have to protect several mountains outside the city. The mountains are rich in materials. Kongzhou is a war city. Nowadays, the people in Kongzhou are not easy. The so-called ”relying on the mountains to eat the mountains”. These mountains are lost. At least a small half of the people will not survive.

Some people ask why Kongzhou is located at the border and there are so many people living there?

Otherwise, three generations of ancestors are in Kongzhou. They have no money or ability to roam outside. They are all farmers with their own share. They can still have farm produce in their hometown. They can work in the fields and hunting. If they really go outside, what are they going to do? Do small jobs for people or beg for food?

Because if we want to protect the fields, water sources, mountains and fight, we will be tied up and look forward to the future.

Originally, the northern army was able to deal with barbarians by itself, but it was not easy to fight. In the end, it adopted a combination of two armies, i.e. a hundred thousand troops of the garrison, which had to follow to help, suppress the number of troops, and fight nine out of 21.

After a month of fighting in this battle, both sides suffered a lot, but in general, the Qingyun army was still strong. What's more, the recruits from the new barracks, who had been rejected by Qiao, made a lot of contributions because of this battle.

According to the imperial court, as many enemies as generals can kill, they can earn as much merit. In short, they can use their heads to accumulate achievements.

The recruits who Joe had never looked at before were brave enough to enter the battlefield. They killed three barbarians in the first battle. Then, a month later, they used their heads directly and piled up a hundred captains.

Oh, a good recruit! If you dare to fight and rush in battle, you will always run at the front. It's clearly infantry, but it's faster than cavalry. When cavalry steps on people, you'll lift your hand and shoot. If you don't know, you think you're fighting with each other and are being watched and trodden by the high horse of barbarian, you can still run away from the hoof of the horse. You can't look like a person or have extraordinary skills!

This Centurion made recruits Rong Ye directly one of the leaders of the boot camp. When they were drinking and eating meat and fighting with blood, their feelings came out naturally.

As for the young talents emerging from the new barracks of the garrison, Joe decided that this leader was in the eye. In order to condole and inspect, he called this Rong Ye alone and encouraged him. He also sent him a new gun. The old gun was not pulled out and lost when killing a barbarian army.

The barracks are harmonious and everyone is good.

It turned out that one day at the end of April, a group of people suddenly came to Jingmen. They found Qiao Ding and asked him to pay them seriously.
