The soldiers who had walked in the desert for many days saw this green patch and cheered excitedly.

"Stay here for half a day, waiting for Chang Yuchun and Lu Bu to approach us. As soon as they meet with Chang Yuchun, we will set off immediately and take Wuwei County!" Luo Chen ordered. At the same time, because the possibility of animals and even people appearing in the oasis is greatly increased, Luochen dispatched nearly 1,000 patrols and sentries to ensure that the surrounding conditions for several kilometers are firmly grasped. Arrive for reconnaissance and draw up an attack plan.

Although Yan Qing's injury was serious, it was a little better, so she went to Luochen's tent to assist Luochen in handling affairs and discussing the next plan as usual. Luo Chen even personally asked about the injured wolf who was rescued, as if he was quite interested in this matter. When he went out for a walk, he personally went around to several tents for the wounded and sick to offer condolences, and then made a special trip to see the injured wolf. Sensitive medical practitioners may find that although this big wolf is very weak, his eyes are still fierce, and it gives people goosebumps. Only when he saw Luo Chen, his fierce and fierce eyes would slightly converge, replaced by some kind of confusion and interest, as if Luo Chen was very attractive to him.

Deliberate patrolling soldiers will find such a strange sight: a group of guards, surrounded by a man wearing a Western Han official uniform, walks in and out of the desert. This man in the official uniform of the Western Han Dynasty has a mustache and a broad face. Although he has a wide robe and long sleeves, he is not wearing a military uniform, but he is very agile. He rode on his horse and kept looking around, while the surrounding guards were far away, vigilant with their swords in their hands. There were many people wearing fancy clothes in Luochen Barracks, and they were all high-ranking officials, such as Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Heng, and Sun Yuanhua. Everyone was even used to it. This person, wearing the official uniform of the previous dynasty, with a sword on his waist, obviously has a noble status. However, experienced people may be more attracted by his calmness and skill in the desert. He pointed and talked loudly with the guards around him, laughing and laughing from time to time, as if he had been to all places, introducing and talking to others. Make fun of the desert here.

In fact, even the guards who followed him were stunned and confused. They were originally responsible for the safety of the fallen prime minister. They were the guards of the lord, and now they are the commander of Barrow, about a thousand people. Luochen transferred a team of 20 of them, pointed at the middle-aged man in the official uniform of the former dynasty and said, "Mr. Zhang is going out to check the patrol situation, you should pay attention to protect him, and Mr. Zhang's safety must be ensured without fail." ."

"Understood." Although this squad of guards was in charge of Luochen's defense every day, it was the first time that Luochen had received him alone, and he seemed flattered. But this Mr. Zhang, they have never seen it before, and they don't know where it came from. But since Luo Chen called "Mr. Zhang" so politely, he must be a heavyweight.

The guards followed him out the door, heading north. I ran for several kilometers. This Mr. Zhang saw that the patrols of the fallen army cooperated in pairs, and regularly changed their perspectives in the desert to observe the situation. The guards soon discovered that this Mr. Zhang was very easy to get along with, and he would laugh out loud when he said a few words. And what's even more admirable is that this gentleman is really familiar with the desert. It seems that he has been to every place in this area, happily talking about his past travel experiences.

Mr. Zhang, like a lively elder, quickly got along with the guards. ".'How powerful we are now! I didn't even dare to think about it before." Mr. Zhang sighed. "So many cavalry, so many horses, and innumerable supplies are consumed at one time. Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can have such a great talent in history."

The guards murmured in their hearts, because they were Luochen's guards, so they knew about Luochen's (alright) almost all senior officers and advisors. These civil and military elites often walked past them quickly and entered Luochen's large tent of the Chinese army, where they talked for an hour or two. But only this Mr. Zhang, they have never met, how can they feel how "before" was? He never appeared in the Fallen Army before...

The most fascinating thing about this Mr. Zhang is that he is both a newcomer and a completely unfamiliar face; he also has vicissitudes that are completely incommensurate with this, as if he had experienced every stage of growth of Luochen Group, as if he came Passing through this desert, and talking about it, like returning to his hometown, even—as if he had experienced it in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, otherwise why would he always talk about what happened to Emperor Wu when he talks... But this is obviously impossible, this Zhang Sir is not that old yet. .

Chapter 133 Encounter

The guards were fascinated by Mr. Zhang's stories about Emperor Wu's time. This Mr. Zhang was full of witty words, which was better than the storyteller. The guards were very happy to follow him. Suddenly Mr. Zhang stopped and stared at a certain place in the distance.

These guards were also elites. They suddenly found that Mr. Zhang was abnormal, and immediately formed a surrounding battle formation. There were three guards beside Mr. Zhang, and five were in the middle. . In just an instant, these guards formed a battle fortress around Mr. Zhang.

However, the guards looked in the direction of Mr. Zhang and did not find any obvious abnormality. It was just the rolling yellow sand, the most common scene in the desert, and there were no unknown soldiers or unknown creatures. In this large area, the guards and Mr. Zhang walked all the way just now, and at least confirmed with four patrols. As soon as they entered this area, a patrolman asked them for a password. These four patrols are divided into two groups, lurking in the desert for patrol and reconnaissance, it should be said that they have covered this place. So what anomalies can Mr. Zhang find?

"The gray one is an animal?" The guards found that Mr. Zhang's tone was also a little confused. 653 "Go and have a look." Mr. Zhang said calmly. The tone of the orders given by Mr. Zhang is very similar to that of Prime Minister Luo Chen, they are calm and firm, and people can't help but resolutely implement them.

"Don't surround me, how to fight how to fight, form an offensive formation, prepare to fight!" Mr. Zhang said sharply. As he said that, he pulled out the sword from his waist and nimbly straddled the horse. The soldiers looked at each other in dismay, but Luochen's order was to tell them to protect Mr. Zhang and not make any mistakes... Seeing that these guards were all looking at each other and unwilling to move, Mr. Zhang couldn't help frowning, and said sharply: "I am the battlefield commander now, Everything on the battlefield obeys the command and orders, and acts decisively and consistently, in order to win the battle and survive! Hesitating and hesitating, most of them are shot to death or hacked by the enemy!"

This Mr. Zhang, who usually laughs, is very casual, even dressed like a scholar, not here to fight. Unexpectedly, when it came time to fight, it suddenly seemed like a different person, stern and fierce, and murderous. "I don't need your protection! You new soldiers in the desert, you actually want to protect me. You were not born when I was riding alone across the desert (babg)!" Mr. Zhang scolded them and walked out of the protection. Circle, straddle the horse and run wildly north. The guards scrambled to keep up. On the one hand, they wanted to follow this Mr. Zhang to see how he fought. On the other hand, Luochen personally issued an order to them, and he must ensure that Mr. Zhang's safety is foolproof, so he must keep up to prevent accidents.

Two teams of patrolmen apparently also discovered the abnormal situation here. This unfamiliar gentleman led the twenty guards to run wild in one direction. Could it be that he found something? One of the two patrol teams quickly approached Mr. Zhang and the Guards, and the other team performed cover tasks on the side and back.

After running wildly for more than ten minutes, this Mr. Zhang suddenly stopped. The guards lined up warily around them. The two patrols on the side also flew over. "Do you have a crossbow? Give me one!" Mr. Zhang shouted to the guard beside him. Immediately, a crossbow was thrown into Mr. Zhang's hands.

The crossbow of the Guardsmen is a hard bow, or the form of pulling with the arm. Many of the Fallen Army have replaced them with crossbow machines, that is, wind the string and pull the trigger. However, although this thing is easy to use, it is more popular among infantry, and cavalry still use hand-pulled a lot. Because the cavalry at high speed is really inconvenient to wind up and then shoot. Of course, according to everyone's habits, there are also cavalry soldiers who choose crossbow machines. These people then carry large crossbow machines on their backs and gallop across their horses without losing their heroic appearance. In general, Luochen does not require soldiers to have uniform weapons, so many Qiang soldiers still accompany traditional scimitars. However, because the saber of the fallen army is really good, it has become the favorite weapon of the fallen army cavalry, and it is also one of the iconic weapons of the fallen army cavalry. . Among them, the smelting method, the steel technology is the key, which is also thanks to the technology that the dust is exchanged from the system.

The guards were surprised to find that this scholar-like old man could easily draw such a hard bow and point coldly in one direction. Suddenly, a big bad wolf slammed out of the sand a few hundred meters ahead, followed by another next to it. The two big wolves did not rush over, but turned around and ran, turning left and right, apparently afraid that the bow and arrow behind them would hit them.

With a "whoosh" sound, Mr. Zhang shot the arrow calmly. Unexpectedly, when the big wolf heard the sound of the arrow behind him, he ducked abruptly, and Mr. Zhang's arrow flew into the air. "Damn it!" Mr. Zhang scolded and threw the bow and arrow back to the guard next to him.

The guards in charge of the perimeter had already chased after them and fired arrows again and again, but they were deftly dodged by the wolf.

"What a sly wolf... there must be something tricky..." Mr. Zhang sneered at the corner of his mouth, "I'm still hiding in the sand, do you think I can't find you if I hide in the sand, from the first time your gray fur moves From the beginning, I found out where you are." As he spoke, he chased after him, taking the guard's bow again.

The patrolman who came to check the situation was probably the first time he saw such a powerful strange old man, who could easily identify a wolf in the sand several hundred meters away. Now that he saw the Great God, he followed the Great God and rushed over.

"Soldiers in front, pay attention to both sides, there may be wolves in ambush!" Mr. Zhang reminded loudly from behind. "Watch out for Lengjian! There may be someone!" Mr. Zhang reminded his soldiers over and over again. Then he scolded in a low voice: "Damn, there are so many tricks!"

Sure enough, one of the guards was running in the lead, when suddenly a big wolf jumped out of the sand pile on the side and threw himself on the horse. The sharp claws grabbed the wolf's flank and abdomen fiercely, and with a jerk, the horse howled suddenly, stumbled, fell directly to the ground, and threw the rider down heavily. The rider screamed and was thrown on the sand with a muffled sound, accompanied by a crack of broken bones, and the soldier screamed in pain. His leg was broken, but the soldier quickly drew his dagger and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

The wolf pounced fiercely, but suddenly there was a sharp whistle from the enemy's side.

It turned out that the moment the soldier fell to the ground, an enemy finally couldn't help showing his face. He quickly knelt up with his bow, and wanted to shoot the fallen soldier to death with an arrow. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang was faster and found him instantly. He shot an arrow directly at the enemy's head and fell to the ground.

The whistle sounded, and several large wolves rushed towards the enemy soldiers who had been shot dead.

"Don't hide it, the Huns." Mr. Zhang said coldly. .

Chapter 134 Emergency Meeting

Seeing such an organized and planned wolf pack, Mr. Zhang's first thought was that these wolves were tamed wolves. And behind the wolf, there must be some force. There are a lot of tricks in it.

The first second that the enemy soldiers showed up, the arrow that Mr. Zhang had already prepared was shot accurately. Also at this second, Mr. Zhang caught a glimpse of the soldier's helmet and weapons, a typical Huns turban, a typical Huns hard bow.

The arrow accurately stabbed the enemy soldier's forehead, and the soldier arrived instantly. The fallen soldiers are ready to rush over to confirm the identity of the body.

Obviously, there was more than one Xiongnu soldier in the Huns' human wolf team. The commander obviously found that his soldier was shot dead. In order to prevent his identity from being revealed, the enemy commander blew the whistle instantly, indicating to save people and evacuate.

All the wolves, including the one that was going to attack the fallen soldiers, stopped their attacks. Several wolves quickly lifted the corpse, while the other wolves took cover alternately and ran towards the desert in an instant.

The guards next to them wanted to rush over to pursue them, but Mr. Zhang stopped them. Mr. Zhang just sat on the horse and watched coldly until the wolves disappeared into the desert. "A man is sitting on the wolf's body?" Finally, one of the guards couldn't help it. Indeed, many people, like him, saw with their own eyes the soldiers in the Huns' costumes, galloping away, and they all stared in astonishment. eyes, speechless-.

I heard that Nanman rides elephants to fight, but elephants are docile animals after all, and they don't eat meat. In the south there are elephants as means of transport. Unexpectedly, I really can't believe that people can ride a wolf to fight. These wolves are **** killers. How do people tame wolves? After all, I have never heard that wolves can be used as means of transportation _

"Wolf Warrior, the rider on the wolf, the Huns... Interesting." Mr. Zhang said with a cold smile, completely ignoring the surprise of the guard next to him. Finally, he announced coldly: "The enemy nine-headed wolf, three riders. It seems that they are spying on our military secrets."

The Prairie Wolf Legion and the elite cavalry of the fallen army met for the first time in a dramatic way.

This meeting undoubtedly brought great shock to both sides. About an hour after the encounter between the guards led by Mr. Zhang and a patrol team of the Prairie Wolf Legion, the two sides held an emergency meeting at the same time. The participants all looked serious and nervous, and the two armies acted in the same way, as if they had arranged in advance together...

The large tent of the central army, with a rare line of guards outside. Chang Yuchun's horse rushed directly into the camp, went straight to the tent of the central army, rushed to the front of the densely packed guards, jumped off the horse, and without looking at the guards, flew into the tent. Barrow - The first time he became the commander of the guards, and now he is standing outside the central tent, and constantly has the squad leader reporting to him the situation of the defense deployment outside. Barrow seems to have a very noble status. But seeing Chang Yuchun's domineering entry into the tent of the Chinese army, Barrow flashed to the side with interest. He knew Chang Yuchun, but Luo Chen pulled out the general to be reused... In less than a moment, Lu Bu entered the same way. big account. Chang Yuchun only carried a saber around his waist, and Lu Bu also carried his Fang Tianhua halberd with him.

Luo Chen looked serious, but nodded slightly to the two of them. The four commanders of the Luochen Imperial Guard, as well as several generals from Chang Yuchun and Lu Bu also attended the meeting. Sitting on Luo Chen's left was a strange little old man in a Western Han official uniform. On the right is the familiar Yan Qing. Apparently the injury wasn't good, and there was a bandage around his neck.

Chang Yuchun had probably gotten the news earlier that the forces behind the wolves were basically finalized, and they were the Huns. The messenger who brought the message imitated Luochen's tone, and urgently demanded that he must quickly go to the central army tent for a meeting. In fact, Chang Yuchun's 60,000 cavalrymen were not far from Luochen's station. Chang Yuchun left behind the cavalry troops that were still advancing rapidly. He only brought a few generals and quickly moved closer to Luochen.

Sure enough, the tension was different from usual. According to Chang Yuchun's experience, more intense battles were inevitable. Both sides are deploying with great tension. According to Luochen's order, Chang Yuchun, who was closer, was quickly approaching Luochen. Once they joined forces, they formed a cavalry group to prepare for battle. However, because Lu Bu's troops were far away, they immediately formed a battle formation-type approach, and searched and advanced extremely cautiously. At the same time, the number of patrols dispatched abroad had reached an unprecedented number of nearly 5,000, that is, there were 1,000 teams participating in the patrol. It seems like a dense bee colony is escorting the aircraft carrier. Of course, the main function of these bee colonies is to search for information to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing in front of them, and to prevent the number of enemies from suddenly being much larger than they expected.

････ Asking for flowers ･･･

The layers of the Imperial Army outside the central tent said that this was an emergency meeting with a high standard, because Luo Chen did not like to have too many guards around him. All the senior commanders are here. On the side outside the tent, there are dozens of messengers, obviously ready to give orders at any time. And the strange little old man beside Luochen was also very curious. He seemed to be the most relaxed of all the generals here.

The generals greeted each other, Chang Yuchun and Lu Bu greeted each other, and also greeted Yan Qing cordially, but no one looked at the little old man in the corner, even though it was sitting next to Luochen now, it seemed to come from a lot... Only a few The guards who fought against him knew the man's strength and respected him.

......

"All commanders and generals", this is Luo Chen's opening remarks, very precise, the commander of the detachment and the generals are all commanders, while Yan Qing, Chang Yuchun and Lu Bu are generals, there is no commander in this group.

Then he pointed to the little old man beside him: "This is Zhang..."

"Next Zhang Cheng," the little old man smiled and nodded to everyone. But everyone looked at Luo Chen together, expecting him to give more introductions.

"Uh, yes... This is Mr. Zhang Cheng, the deputy military advisor, Mr. Zhang Cheng." Luo Chen seemed to hesitate for a while, which made people wonder if this person's name was Zhang Cheng. But everyone heard the position in front of him, deputy military division.

The deputy military division has limited military power in name, which means that under the order of the lord, the deputy military division can independently command hundreds of thousands of troops, or even more. In Luochen's system, all those who become military division rank are military ministers, ministers of the humerus, and veritable "ministers". There are generally three people at this level: Zhuge Liang, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Heng. The military generals that almost correspond to military divisions are generals, such as Xu Da. In the civilian system, the deputy military division is slightly inferior, and has limited military power, roughly corresponding to the general and the general. The later councillors and councillors have no military power and are veritable staff officers. .
