Chapter 533: Helpless
Yang Xing patted Yuan Fang's shoulder and said seriously: "Boss, I believe you must have a way, if you really can't do it, then you can only give up those two counties, rest assured, the second batch of at least 100,000 horses will arrive at the end." ”
Yuan Fang also knew that there was no better way now, it was a bit unrealistic to transfer troops from all over the country, the empire was worried about internal and external troubles, and even Chang Xun was sent out to deal with the turmoil that might arise, and it was really difficult to transfer troops.
Yuan Fang glanced at Chen Xin unwillingly, turned his head and asked Yang Xing, "What about him?" Hasn't General Chen Xin's new army been training for a long time? Can't you let him go with me? ”
Without waiting for Yang Xing to answer, Chen Xin took the initiative to speak: "It will take a long time for Tang Jian's people to come to the emperor, and it will be delayed for a long time to recruit troops when his people arrive. ”
Yuan Fang sighed: "Alas, it can only be like this, General Chen, you have to hurry." ”
Yang Xing comforted and said: "Boss, you can rest assured, don't forget that there are still a lot of centaurs on Tang Jian's side, as well as the Rock Legion and the Lone Wolf Legion, these are all the elites of the forbidden army." Yuan Fang's heart was a little relieved, with the combat effectiveness of these two legions, plus the expansion during this time, it should not be difficult to solve the siege of the enemy army with their help.
Yuan Fang's abacus played well, but when he arrived in Dongzhou, he found that it was not the case at all, the Rock Legion, the Lone Wolf Legion, and Tang Jian's troops were all stationed in various military locations, and they couldn't get out of it at all, and the only force that could really be used was the 10,000 people he brought, and most of them were recruits.
This matter can be regarded as a fool, Yang Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not reluctant to give Yuan Fang more people, let alone want Yuan Fang to die, he really had no choice, and the plan that Chen Xin and Yuqing discussed before Yang Xing was also very clear, the plan was perfect, at least Yang Xing couldn't think of a better way, so he could only give Yuan Fang so many people.
Before leaving, Yang Xing took Yuan Fang's hand and repeatedly explained that it was impossible to retreat immediately, this time Yuan Fang's task was not to repel the enemy army but to harass and contain, so that the enemy army did not dare to attack the city with all his strength, so as to relieve the pressure on the defending troops and give them enough confidence and hope, so that they could continue to hold on, and wait for Chen Xin to recruit enough recruits to rush to Dongzhou, then it was the time to solve the crisis, and the last group, that is, Chang Xun and other generals who finally came to the royal family to calm down the domestic turmoil will go to Dongzhou as soon as possible, That is the real decisive battle, as for whether he can achieve enough advantages before, it depends on Yuan Fang's ability.
Without any more nonsense, Yuan Fang stepped off the stage and turned over his horse, accompanied by Yang Xing and Chen Xin, and led a group of guards out of the barracks, and joined the military medical team led by Xiao Lu and Lu Ling, who were waiting outside the camp, and waved goodbye to Xiaomei, Damei, Qin Cao, Yan Yue and others who came to see each other.
The cavalry force of 10,000 people can be said to be magnificent, along the official road all the way to the east, the sound of horses' hooves is endless, at the same time, the smoke and dust all the way has never disappeared, looking at the foggy imperial capital behind him is getting farther and farther away, Yuan Fang turned his head to look at Yuqing beside him and said angrily: "Did you already know, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Yuqing pretended to be stupid and said, "What do you know? ”
Yuan Fang stretched out a finger and drew it around, and its meaning was self-evident. Yuqing smiled awkwardly: "I know this." ”
Yuan Fang glared and said, "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”
Yuqing said confidently: "You didn't ask. Yuan Fang was speechless.
Yuqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, these recruits have been training for a long time, and they are all elites carefully selected from various legions, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated." ”
Yuan Fang pouted and said, "Elite? What kind of elite method? ”
Yuqing pointed to the new army in front and said: "Look, their riding skills, you are looking at their physical fitness, let's put it this way, these people are cavalry when they ride on horses, heavy cavalry when they put on heavy armor, heavy infantry when they get off their horses, and they are qualified light infantry even if they don't have armor." ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "No matter how good you say, it's useless, didn't you say that they are all recruits?" I haven't been on the battlefield, I haven't experienced war. ”
Yuqing said disapprerovingly: "The recruits I'm talking about are relatively speaking, in fact, many of these soldiers have been soldiers for a longer time than us, but they haven't been on the battlefield." ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "Are you saying that they are not newly recruited?" ”
Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang: "Of course not, didn't I say it, they are all elites selected from various legions." Hearing Yuqing say this, Yuan Fang's heart was a little more comfortable, and then looking at those so-called recruits, he really found that they were all vigorous and skilled, and they were more than a little stronger than him.
Looking back at the handsome flag held high by the flag soldiers behind him, Yuan Fang asked Yuqing: "By the way, what are we?" A legion or a ragtag army? ”
Yuqing was dissatisfied and said: "How can it be said that it is a ragtag army, we are a legion, although it was formed temporarily, and these people will also return to the original army in the future, but now we are a legion." ”
Yuan Fang nodded and asked, "Then what is our legion called?" ”
Yuqing spread her hands and said, "I don't have a name yet, Your Highness means to let you name it." Yuan Fang nodded slightly and fell into deep thought, no matter what, no matter whether he can win or not, whether this army is disbanded in the future or not, Yuan Fang still intends to take a majestic name.
Xia Yi proposed: "Brother-in-law, I think it's better to call it the Women's Army, right?" ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "It's not only female soldiers, if it's called the Women's Army, what about those men?" Are you going to have sex reassignment surgery? ”
Huo Bingyan asked curiously: "Sex reassignment surgery?" What is that? ”
Yuan Fang explained: "It's similar to a eunuch, turning a man into a woman or a woman into a man. ”
Huo Bingyan was surprised and said, "I know the eunuch, but can a woman become a man?" Isn't it okay to change the gender casually? ”
Yuan Fang shrugged: "Theoretically, yes, but after changing the gender, some physiological functions are gone, such as not being able to have children or something." ”
Ye Qingru interjected and said, "Brother-in-law, is it off topic?" ”
Yuan Fang slapped his head and glared at Huo Bingyan: "It's all you, don't interrupt, everyone thinks about whether there is a nice and majestic name, which makes people feel very powerful or scary when they hear it." ”
Lin Menghan opened his mouth and said, "Scary? How's it going? The Legion of Ghosts, well, I think it's pretty good. ”
Yuan Fang shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, we are all big living people, and we are not fooling around, what you said is the army of necromancers, not for us." ”
Yuqing asked curiously, "Necromancer?" What is that? ”
