Zuo Liangyu got the news that this guest army would come a few days ago, and to be honest, he didn't care about this guest army at first. The total strength of the entire Shanxi is only a little over 100,000, and it is precisely because the military department is worried that the combat capability of the local army in Shanxi is insufficient, so he transferred his army from Liaodong Town. At this moment, Shanxi wants to talk about the strength of troops, only he is the biggest, he is also well versed in the truth that the gun is hard and the waist is hard, and he walks sideways in the whole Shanxi, and Zheng Chongjian, who should have obeyed his words, did not take it seriously at all, and Hong Chengchou did not take it seriously, anyway, Shanxi Laozi is the biggest, as long as he does not make trouble, no one has to be afraid.

But the new arrivals made him feel an indescribable worry, they came too fast! A few days ago, he learned that this guest army would come from Annam to participate in the counterinsurgency, Zuo Liangyu guessed with the usual law that this guest army would not come to Shanxi until at least the end of March to the beginning of April, and when they arrived, it was estimated that they would have to make trouble with food or something locally, and they would probably not be able to participate in the counterinsurgency until early May or mid-May, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. But now the problem is that they have arrived! It's only been ten days, and he has already arrived in Shanxi from Annan, is every one of them a scud for thousands of miles?

When Zuo Liangyu received the notice to go out of the city to meet this guest army, he originally wanted to go immediately, but his master reminded him that as the leader of the legion, he could not show up in such a hurry in front of a group of foreign guest troops so rashly, once he did so, then his position in Taiyuan, the Shanxi pacification camp, would inevitably be affected, and it would make people feel that he, the general who led 100,000 people, had no confidence. Zuo Liangyu did so, when all the officials of Taiyuan came to the city gate to greet him, he did not appear at the city gate, but he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and quietly came to the city tower, he was full of curiosity and surprise at how the other party came here so quickly from Annan, thousands of miles away.

On the castle tower, he couldn't understand the dress of the three Annam officers under the city, these people were not wearing armor or helmets, wouldn't it be easy for someone to kill or kill them in close quarters in battle? In the army of the Wu Dynasty, the higher the rank, the harder the armor on the body, isn't that a theorem? However, the things that these people were wearing did make him feel very hot, and the coat that looked like another layer of velvet on the outside, and he didn't know if it was really as warm as he expected. Although the clothes on their bodies are very different from ordinary military officials, they have a completely different flavor, an indescribable heroism.

However, these people can't see weapons on them, of course, according to the etiquette system of the Wu Dynasty, military attachés are not allowed to carry long soldiers when they meet Shangguan, but they have a cowhide-colored sleeve tied around their waists with a wide white belt, I don't know what is inside, from a distance, it looks like a slingshot pocket - what is the use of a slingshot? Is it close to the face that is used to paste other people's faces?

What happened next surprised Zuo Liangyu, and with the sound of the password, hundreds of soldiers jumped out of those strange huge vehicles that had been parked on the side of the road in the distance, and there was no difference between the outfits of the three military attachés. According to the custom of the Wu Dynasty, it was to ensure that officers and sergeants were given priority to equip themselves with weapons and equipment, and the soldiers below were poorly equipped, but these hundreds of soldiers were all wearing military uniforms that were completely indistinguishable, and they were also not wearing armor. From a distance, the soldiers seemed to be holding firearms such as firearms, except for the few men who appeared to be officers at the front, with slender knives hanging from their waists. This made Zuo Liangyu and the dozen or so personal soldiers around him look at each other, how could there be such a way of fighting? Even the Zheng Jiajun, who shone some time ago, had pikemen in front of their firecrackers, and now this group of soldiers who were neither wearing armor nor helmets were all firearms, so should the officers be alone at the front of the queue to block the enemy?

Then they were in formation—the whole formation was refreshing to them, and the soldiers were like a plate of loose sand, gradually lining up in small steps that could almost shake the mountains and rivers, standing in three rows one after another. Such a formation looks full of intimidation, and the soldiers raise their guns to be paraded more like a forest of guns. This is not much different from the big parades that the Wu Dynasty army often conducts, but in terms of uniformity, these troops from Annam are far superior. When Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian walked in front of the queue, the heads of the soldiers slowly turned as the two officials walked, which made Zuo Liangyu's eyes even hotter, and he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to run down the city tower to personally inspect these Annan soldiers, and get past this addiction of being followed by everyone's eyes.

At this time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, came down from the city tower, mounted his horse under the service of several personal soldiers, and came to the city gate. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw a group of officials pointing at him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely not a good thing, but he didn't care at all, in his consciousness, he walked over in front of these officials as if he was a tiger and didn't need to care about the barking dogs on the side of the road.

When he came behind Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian, he heard that someone was asking the two of them to fight in Shaanxi dialect, which surprised Zuo Liangyu. How big of a Lou Zi has been stabbed in this Shaanxi chaos? Unexpectedly, the two new guest armies both asked for war as soon as they came, Zheng Jiajun was like this, and the Annan army in front of him was like this, where did he put the face of the general who avoided fighting?

The Zheng family army in front was also like this, as soon as he received the order to send troops, he traveled all the way to Shanxi, which was faster than his Zuo Liangyu from Liaodong Town, and arrived in Taiyuan in the first place, which ruthlessly thinned his face, and he almost sent Zheng Jiajun to the front line of Xiangling Taiping in the spirit of wearing small shoes. He originally planned to let Zheng Jiajun's people retreat and accuse him, so he could raise it high and put it down gently, right? It's just that those guys are a group of stunned greens, and they really passed under the temperature and snow. What he couldn't figure out was that such an army of the Zheng family, which was not very well stocked, actually defeated Wang's own rebels one after another in the battle. At this time, although the Zheng family army was surrounded by the rebels of the monk Wang in Taiping City, in fact, everyone knew that the situation of the Zheng family army at the moment was not dangerous, and the rebels used by Wang himself had been defeated by the Zheng family army, and their morale would definitely fall sharply in the next battle, not to mention the capture of Taiping City, even in the field situation, the tens of thousands of rebels may not be able to please much. Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian have been trying to force themselves to send troops, the only reason is that they are afraid of losing this strong army in an unexpected situation, they would rather sacrifice their 100,000 troops than lose the Zheng family's army, which is also the reason why Zuo Liangyu found all the reasons for not moving under Zheng Chongjian's repeated orders.

Seeing that the new leader of the Annan Army in front of him was asking for battle, he hurriedly spoke out to stop them, using the excuse of rewarding them for three days. According to his understanding, when a soldier eats food and eats food, who would die for the illusory "the whole world is not the king's land"? Isn't it just to be a soldier just to have the opportunity to loot and share the money? He deliberately said this paragraph loudly, in order to break the other party's intention to ask for war, even if the general who led the army had money at home and didn't care, and was heard by the soldiers below, it would definitely cause the army to be unsettled, and it might even cause a mutiny, who would want to run out on such a cold day to die?

But to his surprise, the soldiers not far away still stood there as if they hadn't heard him, their heads held high, their guns in their right hands, their left hands naturally drooping, and their eyes didn't even look at him. "Maybe it's pretended." Zuo Liangyu said secretly in his heart, and at the same time said loudly, "Brothers, you have come thousands of miles all the way, it is not easy to travel and travel, if you just go directly to the war, it will be too unkind, so you have to stop and rest for a few days to recover your vitality, right?" ”

Of course, Zheng Chongjian knew Zuo Liangyu's plan to delay the army, but what he said was completely reasonable, if it was not handled well, if the soldiers of the Annan Army mutinied, it would take more than half a month to end up with a little to say. He had no choice but to round the field and said, "Yes, these generals have led their troops from afar, and this journey has been hard ......."

"What are they working so hard for?" A person's voice suddenly appeared next to him, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and turned their heads to look at He Renlong, who was standing aside, and said with an understatement, "They sit on the car, neither need cattle and horses to pull it, nor do they need manpower to trample it, the car can move by itself, all the way down thousands of miles, just light a fire and boil the water to walk by themselves, and people don't need to sit outside the car to blow the wind." As he spoke, he pointed to the car in the distance, "It's like a Rolls-Royce, you just need to sit in the car and flick a few sticks to make the car walk freely." There was still heating in the car, it was hot, I was reluctant to come out when I went in, it was so comfortable, they sat twenty people in a car, not crowded at all, and there was a place to put things. There is also a kind of car dedicated to cooking in the car, cooking while driving, and when you arrive at the place, you can eat steamed buns or something immediately, and the soup can be made immediately when it stops, and it can come out in two quarters of an hour. Who is this who came out to fight? It's like a day out! ”

He Renlong shouted loudly, not only Hong Chengchou, Zheng Chongjian and Zuo Liangyu heard it, but even the Foreign Legion soldiers who were waiting for orders on the opposite side also heard it, many soldiers smiled, and couldn't help but laugh there, although it took less than two days to go from Jingcheng to Taiyuan, but He Renlong was bold by nature, and soon mingled with this group of Foreign Legion officers and soldiers. Don't look at the fact that he can't understand the Mandarin with Annan and Japanese accents, but it won't hinder him at all, just a burst of body language and sign language, and then a loud voice bombarded down, and a few soldiers with more flexible brains can basically understand and even shout Shaanxi dialect with two voices.

In the past two days in the process of riding in the car with the Foreign Legion, he not only saw the unparalleled logistics delivery capacity of the Chinese army, but also saw their support ability - the soldiers were really wearing the same as the officers, they were all thick and explained tweed coats, and he also specially tried them on, it was really very warm, the only pity was that because he had a set of people in the Oriental Port, he was relatively tall, so he couldn't get one for himself, otherwise he even wanted to get a whole set to wear on his body.

"Don't you feel that their coats are so warm! The wind can't blow in at all, the big cotton hat is worn on the head, even if it is resting outside to blow the wind, it only feels a little cold, and there are cotton gloves and suede boots! It won't get cold when you wear it! He Renlong didn't notice that Zuo Liangyu's face was blue beside him, while Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian's faces were bright, but they continued to croak, "Anyway, their guns are firecrackers!" That's great! Really good stuff! Ruthless and accurate, the fight is fast, and it can even hit three or four times in a breath, such a good thing, if you lose the fight with Monk Wang, there will be a ghost! I He Renlong asked, I will also take my soldiers and follow them to the battle, even if it is to clean up the battlefield for their plundering array! It's a sure-fire deal! ”

This passage punctured the hearts of the people present, Hong Jie said with a smile, "What General He said is the truth, we didn't actually work too hard all the way, and now we are full of energy, so we are looking forward to going out to fight the rebels and defeat them as soon as possible, so we should go home early, right?" ”

"What the little general said is very ......" Zheng Chongjian didn't leave a chance for Zuo Liangyu at this time, and hurriedly interjected, "If we calm down the chaos in Shanxi as soon as possible, we will be able to save the people of Shanxi from fire and water, and it is also a great luck for the people of the world!" I wonder when the little general's team will be able to start? ”

He Renlong strode forward, he was different from Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu relied on the soldiers he had at hand and did not take these officials in his eyes, and he was because he was Hong Chengchou's confidant and favorite general, so he could not be scrupulous and humble, and stepped forward and said to Zheng Chongjian and Hong Chengchou, "This is a native of Shaanxi, surnamed Hong, with a single name, and it is the general banner of artillery in this army." ”

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but gasp, artillery flag, isn't there a few cannons in this army? It's just that I don't know what kind of artillery it is, the chaotic army used by Wang Zi was originally a rabble, and the siege of Taiping City before was nothing more than relying on the number of people, but at this moment, there were artillery in the guest army, so as long as they poked at Taiping, the tens of thousands of chaotic troops used by Wang Zi would definitely be self-defeating, and he was in a mess for a while, and he couldn't figure out what he could do, and he couldn't even listen to the words of He Renlong who continued to introduce the remaining officers there with his throat pulled.
