Chapter 115: The Beginning of the War

The so-called reorganization did not disrupt the previous establishment, but was still stationed everywhere according to the previous establishment, and each unit sent the main force to guard the city wall, and the forward battalion, an assault force or cannon fodder unit, was stationed not far from the city wall in peacetime as a reserve.

After several wars, Dingbian County was captured by the invading army of the Ningyuan Empire, and then recaptured by the imperial army.

There are also those female soldiers who are similar to the cannon fodder units of the forward battalion, who have no fixed responsibilities and are transferred from their subordinate departments and gathered in the central area of the county, I don't know what their intentions are.

On the first day, the wind and waves were calm, there was no danger, and the enemy troops of the Ningyuan Empire did not appear.

The same was true on the second and third days, as the scouts expanded their reconnaissance and even crossed the border, but did not find any trace of the enemy, except for the occasional sporadic enemy scouts peeking into the distance.

On the fourth and fifth days, the recruits had roughly adapted to their new life, and every day, in addition to standing stupidly on the city wall, they were exercising their physical strength in the camp, or they were learning some basic knowledge of defending the city, and the logistics troops were transporting supplies between the county seat and the county town in the rear, and the days were a little dull.

On the tenth day, Tanma finally found the main force of the enemy, they were divided into two routes, there were about 50,000 people on the one road, the direction was southwest, the target was Guzhong County, and the other part was about 30,000 or 40,000 people, the target was Dingbian County, according to investigation, on the border side, there were still a large number of people and horses gathered near Yunfu County of the Ningyuan Empire, but the specific number and purpose were unknown.

At noon on the same day, Guzhong County sent an order from the general, ordering Dingbian County to strengthen its defenses and hold the city, and at the same time, send cavalry troops to harass the enemy's supply lines, and inform the defenders that the county town was already mobilizing men and horses, and would soon send troops to support.

After receiving the order, the guard general Shi Ping immediately ordered to enter a state of combat readiness, and transferred a thousand cavalry from the female soldiers, traveled lightly, and made a detour to attack the enemy's supply line, including Ma Lan's 300 female cavalry.

Getting this news, Yuan Fang was worried, although Ma Lan was a little neurotic and bullied Yuan Fang, but after a short period of getting along, Yuan Fang knew that Ma Lan's heart was not bad, but he was too impulsive and a little extreme, and he had a deep hatred for men.

Yuan Fang and Yang Xing asked Captain Tian for extended leave, and ran to see off Ma Lan, the female soldiers were newly integrated and stationed in one place, and the guards didn't know Yuan Fang and Yang Xing, so naturally they wouldn't let them in, so the two had to wait outside the camp.

After standing stupidly for two hours, a large group of cavalry poured out of the camp, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing looked forward to it, and finally, they found Ma Lan's figure in the middle of the team.

Ma Lan, dressed in slightly old leather armor, with a cavalry iron helmet on his head, his hair tied in the helmet, a leather dress covering his thighs, long riding boots black and shiny, a saber hanging from his waist, a short spear in his right hand, and a bow and arrow hanging next to the saddle, simple and neat, heroic and high-spirited.

The female soldiers attacked from afar, and naturally many people came to watch the excitement with this kind of thought, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing stood in the crowd and waved vigorously, but Ma Lan did not squint.

Seeing that Ma Lan was about to go away, Yuan Fang used his strength to squeeze away the muscular man in front of him, and shouted while waving his hand: "Ma Lan, Ma Lan." ā€

Ma Lan vaguely heard someone calling herself, followed the voice and looked back, and saw Yuan Fang and Yang Xing screaming and dancing with their teeth and claws, sneering, and waving their hands to the two.

Yuan Fang pulled Yang Xing and shouted: "Ma Lan, be careful when you go out, if you can't beat it, run away." Ma Lan was taken aback when he heard this, this thing was still so open-mouthed, he glared at Yuan Fang with disgust, then smiled gratefully, nodded slightly, wanted to say something, hesitated, but did not say it.

Ma Lan walked farther and farther, Yuan Fang stopped, and Yang Xing shouted: "Boss, boss, look, Wan Chunya." ā€

The female cavalry who had been captured by herself, Wan Chunya, who was a little shy, but her style was equally tough and unyielding, appeared in Yuan Fang's sight, she was similar to Ma Lan's outfit, a little simple, and her expression was serious without powder.

Yuan Fang smiled, waved his hand with Yang Xing and shouted, "Wan Chunya." The recruits who came to see the excitement around him cast envious glances, envious that these two inconspicuous guys actually knew so many female soldiers.

Wan Chunya had already seen Yuan Fang and Yang Xing jumping up and down in the crowd, and when she saw that the two of them still recognized her, she couldn't help but smile and wave her hand, but she didn't know what to say.

Yang Xing clasped his hands in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly: "Wan Chunya, you should be careful, come back alive, our accounts are not finished yet." ā€

Looking at the smiles on Yang Xing and Yuan Fang's faces, Wan Chunya's heart warmed, and she smiled and said, "I will, I'll clean you up when I come back." Then, in a voice that she could only hear, she muttered, "You guys, too, live well." ā€

A thousand women rode out of the city, the city gate was closed again, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing returned to the station and were scolded for a long time, because they came back late, the extended leave had already passed, and they were punished for cleaning the thatched house for five days, but Yuan Fang and Yang Xing did not regret it, and every time they cleaned the thatched house, they came to Tian Dashun's side, and Tian Dashun was afraid to see them, and he hid far away when he saw these two stinky guys.

More than 20,000 people produce a lot of garbage every day, especially feces, which must be cleaned up and transported out of the city for burial every day.

On the night of the second day after the female horseman left, dozens of miscellaneous soldiers who went out of the city to bury the garbage went out and never returned, and were ruthlessly killed by the invading army of the Ningyuan Empire, and the corpses were thrown in a stone's throw outside the city wall, which was provocative.

On the third day, the vanguard of the invading army of the Ningyuan Empire arrived and was stationed five miles away from Dingbian City, clearing the surrounding scouts and waiting for the follow-up main force.

The war is about to break out, the atmosphere in Dingbian County is tense, the recruits are nervous, the veterans draw their crossbows, the generals are worried, whether they are recruits or veterans, they are rookies who have never been on the battlefield, the enemy is in front of them, and it is false to say that they are not nervous.

The surrounding atmosphere became solemn, fear spread in the air, and Yang Xing asked uneasily: "Boss, why didn't you say that the above didn't assign us a task?" ā€

Yuan Fang rubbed his nose and said, "Why not, didn't you say that we should make up for it later, we will go wherever we need support there." ā€

The city gate opened, Yuan Fang was taken aback, and Tanma hurried into the city and went straight to the general's mansion. Yuan Fang muttered: "I don't know what's going on, alas, the information is not smooth, like a fool, I don't know anything." ā€

Yang Xing was puzzled and asked, "What do you want to know?" ā€

Yuan Fang sighed: "I don't know what happened to Ma Lan and them, whether they are dead or alive, there is no movement." ā€

Yang Xing teased: "Boss, you won't be in love with Ma Lan, right?" ā€

Yuan Fang jumped up like a skinny cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I like her, with her unreasonable character, who can stand it?" ā€

Yang Xing scratched his head and said, "Then what do you always worry about other people?" ā€

Yuan Fang glanced at Yang Xing: "Nonsense, no matter how you say it, you don't know each other, aren't you worried at all?" ā€

Yang Xing thought for a while: "Sometimes I'm quite worried. ā€

Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded, Yuan Fang was stunned, and pulled Yang Xing to the assembly place to meet with the others, and after a while, the entire forward battalion was ready to go.

Lei Hua galloped over with his own soldiers, looked at the subordinates who were waiting for the battle, nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "The enemy's main force has arrived, from now on, do not unload your armor at night, and be ready to fight at any time." ā€

A recruit named Erhua asked loudly, "General, what should I do without armor?" "These recruits only have military uniforms, not armor, and most of them come from families who are not wealthy, and most of them have no armor.

The corners of Lei Hua's mouth twitched, and he glared at Erhua and said, "You kid talks a lot, no, you won't grab one without you." ā€

Erhua was thin, looked around, and said with a bitter face: "How to rob?" I can't beat it. ā€

Lei Hua was full of black lines: "Who asked you to rob our own people, I asked you to rob the grandsons of the Ningyuan Empire." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

On the city wall, Chen Xin raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the enemy army gradually becoming clear in the distance, his face was expressionless, but the fingers that kept tapping on the city wall betrayed the uneasiness in his heart, and this was the first time he faced so many enemies.

Soon, the army of the Ningyuan Empire appeared under Dingbian City, and camped in an orderly manner like no one around, Chen Xin squinted his eyes and hesitated for a while, feeling that this was a very good opportunity, taking advantage of the enemy's long journey to camp unsteadily, and sent people to ask the main general for battle.

Shi Ping was cautious and conservative, seeing that the enemy army was so fearless, it was likely to lure the enemy, refused to go to war and ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, and watched the army of the Rather Empire set up camp.

The Ningyuan Empire's camp Anza is located east of the southeast corner of Dingbian City, which can take care of the two city walls, paralyze the defenders, and hide the direction of their main attack.

At night, a vigilant bonfire was lit in the wilderness outside the city to illuminate the land near the city walls, and the soldiers at the head of the city watched nervously at the darkness near the fire, for fear that the enemy would take advantage of the night to sneak attack.

The invading army of the Ningyuan Empire has traveled a long distance and needs to be repaired, of course, it will not choose a night attack at this time, and in such a large-scale battle, the night attack has great drawbacks, both the initiator and the bearer, because it is difficult to effectively command at night with the flag, and in the dark battlefield, it is difficult for the soldiers to get accurate instructions, and it is easy to panic and even collapse.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers of Dingbian City took turns to rest, and the scouts engaged in a fierce but unknown life-and-death struggle in the darkness of the wilderness. In the silent and dangerous night, the heralds risked their lives to travel back and forth between Dingbian County, Guzhong County, and the county town, delivering military orders and messages, and of course, some false information to confuse the enemy.

A busy night, a cruel night, at dawn, after statistics, this night, more than two dozen scouts and five heralds were lost.
