Cangyun [Sword Net Three]

Yang Jichuan has the right to appoint sergeants whose general rank is lower than his own.General Lang Qi is the official rank of the fifth rank, and Yang Jichuan can appoint someone to be the left and right former generals from the fifth rank.

Wu Lang really wanted to be a general, but he is now considered a general, and he was given such a high position as soon as he came, how could others be convinced.I have no choice but to be the governor first.But he still holds the Xuanjia Army of tens of thousands of people in his hands, so basically no one simply regards him as a general.

The Xuanjia Army is still weaving in the same team as when they were in Dongchangzhai, and the leadership of the four battalions remains unchanged.

However, after Yang Jichuan re-appointed the captain of Yuyang, Wu Lang picked some people to stay in Yuyang to guard.In terms of candidates, priority is also given to those soldiers who are more willing to station in places, have family members in Yuyang, and have a strong family complex.

Afterwards, Wu Lang followed Yang Jichuan on a long journey to Guangze, an important border town in Yongzhou.

Guangze and Yuyang are only twenty miles apart, but the climate is very different.With four distinct seasons and fertile land, Yuyang is a famous granary in Yongzhou.But Guangze and Yuyang are only separated by a big mountain, so there is drought and little rain, and it is windy and sandy all the year round.

As soon as Wu Lang entered Guangze City, he ate his mouth full of sand.

Yang Jichuan told him to get used to it, and Wu Lang spit out the sand in his mouth and rinsed his mouth with saliva.

Yang Jichuan also said that the water here is very scarce, so don't waste it like this in the future.His eyes glanced at the puddle of water on the ground.

Wu Lang suddenly felt that he had abandoned the comfortable life in Dongchangzhai and came to fight on the front line of the border where he could eat a mouthful of sand every time he spoke, maybe his brain was short-circuited.

Yang Jichuan quickly took him up to the city wall of Guangze to look out of the city.

Guangze is located on the border between Beirong and Dashang. Here, it is almost impossible to tell where Beirong begins and where Dashang begins.And because there is a large pure natural plain outside Guangze, for the Beirong army with more cavalry, the Dashang Frontier Army, whose soldiers are mostly infantry, is simply a standing target.The extremely difficult to defend terrain made Guangze infested by Beirong all the year round.The Beirong people are violent and good at fighting, and every time they attack, they often cause a lot of casualties to the soldiers on the border.

If it weren't for Guangze having the longest and highest city wall line in the whole Dashang, it might have been captured already and became the territory of Beirong.

However, what is even more troublesome for the generals on the border is that because of the topography of Guangze Town, the transportation is very convenient and extends in all directions.Once captured, the three prefectures of Muzhou, Nanlin, and Fengji living in the rear became beauties covered only by a layer of tulle, letting the Beirong wreak havoc.

This shows the importance of Guangze, a city that must not be lost.

With the restraint of arms and the disadvantages of terrain, Guangze Army must pay several times the number of casualties of the opponent every time it resists Beirong's aggression.This situation only improved a little after Yang Jichuan proposed the establishment of cavalry units a few years ago and began to train cavalry.

"However, there is a lot of resistance."

Yang Jichuan nodded: "Training infantry into qualified cavalry cannot be completed overnight. What's more, if you want to fight against the Northern Rong, you need both weapons and good horses. Dashang is an agricultural country and can mass-produce Horses are short-footed and not strong enough to be used in very limited places. And the output of mineral deposits is even rarer. There may be hidden mines in this country that no one knows, but no one can find them. And those that have been discovered are also rare. It is impossible to make better weapons than Beirong."

"If it's just these things, there are still ways to solve it. The most frustrating thing is the emperor's disapproval."

Wu Lang frowned, "I heard that the current emperor of Dashang puts a lot of emphasis on culture over martial arts."

Hearing this, Yang Jichuan seemed to think of something, and said, "There are some things you may not know."

"Oh! What is it?"

"The current emperor's biological mother was a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River. When the first emperor traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, she had a deep love for her and gave birth to a son. The first emperor liked this son very much, and immediately brought the famous prostitute back to the palace to make her a concubine Zhen. But at that time, the Li family The power is so powerful, how could the emperor allow this son to be the crown prince, so he conspired to kill the concubine Zhen to remind the emperor. The Li family is a high family in Heyang. Before its decline, it was the head of the four great families in the world. The Cui family can only hold their own. They acted very arrogantly. Although Mr. later destroyed the Li family and put the current emperor on the throne, the root of the emperor's hatred of military generals was pulled down."

"It turns out that there is such a layer of secret history of the palace. But the battle here in Guangze is so tight, since there is a better military and political proposal, the emperor has no reason not to accept it. I don't think he is so stupid."

Yang Jichuan sighed, and said: "It takes a lot of money to train a cavalry. In addition to raising soldiers, new armor, new weapon rations, countless good horses, and the supply of horse grass. Putting it all together, the money spent will be a staggering amount of money." Numbers. The emperor was unwilling to pay the money. In his opinion, even without cavalry, the defenders of Guangze have successfully defended for decades. Now it is suddenly said that they want to train cavalry, which is completely unnecessary. But I think the emperor has been selective Forget, the father and son of General Zheng Yi who were able to make Guangze as impermeable as an iron bucket back then are all dead."

Wu Lang was startled, and said, "Is the father and son of the Li family really so powerful?"

Yang Jichuan nodded sincerely: "It's amazing, even Wei Qinghuo Qubing from a big businessman will do."

"It's a pity that I can't see the twin walls of the empire with my own eyes. Then the Tiance cavalry you brought to Yuyang..."

Speaking of this, Yang Jichuan finally had a smile: "Yongzhou State Mu has helped me a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to support this cavalry division. It is our trump card, and we will not let them go to the battlefield until the critical moment."

"Hey, isn't Dongchang Village, where you are lucky enough to be a cavalry master today, a big face?"

"I didn't intend to use them at first, but Xue Tang came back in such a cold and embarrassing manner, I have to be more cautious."

Wu Lang said: "I'll take it as you are praising me. But even this can't cover up your act of selling teammates by pulling people into the trap!"

Yang Jichuan was taken aback, blinked his eyes, and it took a long time before he said: "...Sorry."

Wu Lang suddenly moved closer to Yang Jichuan, and smiled slyly: "A verbal apology is unnecessary. If you really feel sorry for me, just give me some help."

"Don't you have fifty thousand soldiers in your hand?"

Wu Lang shook his head: "After listening to your description, I feel that 1 soldiers are not enough. The Xuanjia Army is now divided into four battalions, and the shield soldiers in the Vanguard Battalion are full, and the number of shield soldiers is less than [-]. In such a large plain outside Guangze City, [-] How do people deploy troops?"

Yang Jichuan frowned, staring at Wu Lang carefully: "You mean..."

Wu Lang put his arms around Yang Jichuan's shoulders: "I mean, you made a lot of money!"

"My Cangyun's heavy armored shield soldiers are specially used to deal with these barbarian light cavalry. What's more, the money, equipment and food brought over from Dongchang Village are enough for us to arm an army in a short period of time. Heavy armored soldiers of sufficient size. If the Beirong cavalry comes again, the shield soldiers will line up in front, the sword soldiers will intersect behind, and the archers will be restrained behind. And your cavalry and infantry will harass and drive around."

"It's a good idea."

Wu Lang was well aware of Yang Jichuan's cautiousness, and knew that it was impossible to get him to agree immediately.But he was not in a hurry, so he said: "Of course, this is just a theoretical statement. In actual combat, we still don't know how much restraint the heavy armored shield soldiers can bring to Beirong. After all, there are many other factors to consider .”

Yang Jichuan took a deep look at Wu Lang, as if thanking him for his understanding, Wu Lang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, let my Xuanjia Army practice with your Tiance cavalry some other day? itchy."

"Okay, pick a good time."

Wu Lang rolled his eyes towards the sky, and said, "Superstition is out of the question! Do you want to go downstairs? Let me get the sand out of my mouth first. Just now, Yingfeng talked for a long time, and I feel like there is sand in my teeth."

Yang Jichuan smiled for the first time, and took Wu Lang down the tower.

Wu Lang walked behind him, secretly flicked the red feather feather hanging down his back with his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, you don't need to tell me the truth, others will praise you for being a leader of the army today." There's nothing you can't do."

Yang Jichuan didn't look back, and replied as if he was going down the stairs: "The situation in Guangze is serious. If you say good things a thousand times, you will still be exposed when Beirong calls. You must be very uncomfortable by then. Besides, I also I don't want to lie to you. This is the most dangerous place in the Great Shang Dynasty, and I don't want you to take it lightly and lose your life."

Wu Lang was a little happy, but he didn't understand why he was happy, he just felt that Yang Jichuan's words sounded good.He took a big stride and walked shoulder to shoulder with Yang Jichuan.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I have a shield to protect you from the abyss!"
