? In the distance, the snow-capped mountains are covered with snow, and the black battle flag flutters. The well-equipped Qinghe army is marching along the green grassy river valley.
The terrain of the barbarian areas in the western part of the Far Eastern Empire is constantly rising, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of primitive desolation, and many places are inaccessible and barren.
Most of the barbarian tribes also gather in some relatively flat valleys and valleys, and some live in mountains and dense forests, where the dragons can't see the head and the tail.
This time, Li Changqing of the Far East Empire's Security Corps dispatched a reorganized Eighth Banner Regiment of Security to enter the barbarian area.
?They not only went to support Guo Wei and the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security, but they were also ordered to set up military stations, contact points and draw a simple map of the terrain along the way.
Behind the Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment all the way to the western provinces of the empire, they have established five depot supply points and more than 20 liaison checkpoints along the way.
They left at least one centurion guarding the supply points and contact checkpoints of each military depot.
These centurion soldiers left behind not only shouldered the task of surveying the surrounding terrain to ensure the smoothness of the road, but also shouldered the task of building a beacon tower to keep watch.
That means that once something happens on the front line, these beacon towers will be able to transmit the news to the western provinces as quickly as possible.
As the army led by Guo Wei penetrated thousands of miles into the hinterland of the barbarians, Li Changqing, the head of the Security Corps, also deliberately included this large strange area as the territory of the empire.
When it was hot, Li Changqing's report to the court had not yet received a reply, but he was already starting to build a military station and a beacon tower.
These military depots and beacon towers are like a knife inserted into the barbarian area, and will play a role in containing the barbarian tribe.
In the future, even if the empire has no intention of occupying barbarian areas, these beacon towers that go deep into barbarian areas can also play the role of early warning of barbarian invasion.
The Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment advanced all the way, and behind them was a solid military depot and transportation channel.
The Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment entered the barbarian area in an organized way. Such a large-scale army had to open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water, so the speed of marching was relatively slow.
Those elite scouts were one step ahead of the army, and under the leadership of some bribed barbarian guides, they were responsible for scouting the way for the army.
"There seems to be someone on the other side!"
When a scout team from the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security arrived at an unnamed river and was about to stop to drink some water and rest, a scout soldier suddenly saw a person lying on the other side of the river.
Hearing that there were people on the other side, the rest of the scout soldiers immediately drew their swords, took off the bows and crossbows they were carrying, and stood on guard.
Fortunately, except for the meandering snow water, the surroundings are quiet and there is no hostility.
"Go and have a look."
After the scout captain looked around, he ordered two scout brothers to cross the small river to check the situation.
The two scout brothers rode war horses and carried crossbows into the icy cold river, and soon reached the opposite bank.
"It seems to be our brother! Still alive!"
When they turned the dying man over and saw the tattered Qinghe army uniform he was wearing under his sheepskin jacket, they also showed joy on their faces.
"Give him some water¡ª"
They untied the water bag and gave the dying brother a drink of water. After waiting for a while, the soldier opened his eyes with difficulty.
After the captain of the scout on the other side learned that it was his own people, he quickly crossed the river with the rest.
"Brother, are you from the Seventh Banner Regiment of Security?"
The scout captain asked after holding the badge he got from the soldier.
"We are surrounded by barbarians, hurry up and save the brothers."
This dying brother was a messenger sent by Guo Wei, the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security, to ask for help at night.
It's just that there are too many barbarians around. After they broke through the heavy blockade, he was left with only one person.
When I got to the river, because I lost all the dried meat during the battle, I fell here under the hunger and cold.
"Where are they surrounded? How far is it from here?"
Hearing that the brothers of the Seventh Banner Regiment of Security were surrounded, the scout captain also showed anxiety on his face.
"Thirty or forty miles to the west, the river, by the river"
The brother who reported the letter finished speakingFinally, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, his head tilted, and there was no sound.
The captain of the scout put down the brother who was killed in the 7th Banner Regiment of Public Security, stood up and gave him a standard military salute with the scouts.
"You go back quickly to report the situation, and the rest follow me to the west, hurry up!"
The scout captain also quickly made deployments. After sending two people back to report the news, the rest rode westward to investigate the situation.
"The Fourth Banner Battalion left behind the escort team, and the rest marched lightly!"
When Gao Wenxuan, head of the Eighth Banner of Public Security, learned that the Seventh Banner of Public Security was dozens of miles away and was surrounded by barbarian troops, he also had a serious look on his face, and quickly issued an order to march quickly.
He personally led the three infantry banner battalions to rush westward with light equipment, while the fourth banner battalion and the supply troops stayed behind.
When night fell, the Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment finally discovered the troops of the Public Security Seventh Banner Regiment that were breaking through.
This is already the fifth day since the troops of the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security were surrounded by barbarians.
At the very beginning, Guo Wei wanted to lead the army to occupy the high ground by the river and stand by for help, but when the battle reached night, he finally made up his mind to break through.
?Because he didn't know whether the victory team he sent back to the western provinces safely, so he didn't know if there were reinforcements.
Instead of sitting still and waiting for illusory reinforcements, it is better to actively save yourself and break through.
However, they are surrounded by barbarians, and their road to break out can be extremely difficult.
Along the way, they fought and retreated. All the cattle and sheep used as food were lost. Even the captives in the Black Bear tribe were all abandoned by them, and only some barbarians and high-ranking nobles were captured.
Precisely because they grabbed the barbarian chief Tatar and others, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and they were bitten by the barbarians.
At the beginning, they went deep into the barbarian area alone, chasing the barbarian chief, and they were completely newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers.
The scattered barbarian tribes had no idea that such an army had entered their sphere of influence.
Now the great chief of the barbarians has finally reacted and summoned the barbarians from all over the place to rescue, so Guo Wei and the others are also in danger.
In the dark night, the barbarians holding torches were madly attacking Guo Wei and the others, and the remaining troops of Guo Wei and the others were less than 300 people, and they were in a bitter battle.
Even Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, and Gu Xingteng, the head of the banner, fought the barbarians with their sabers.
However, they were so exhausted that they were no match for the barbarians who were attacking wildly. Seeing a brother lying in a pool of blood, Guo Wei felt very annoyed.
Had they known that they would encounter such a crazy attack from the barbarians, they shouldn't have gone deep into the heart of the barbarians to capture some great chief, causing the deaths and injuries of the brothers of the Seventh Banner Regiment of Security.
"Ang woo - woo woo woo -"
When the battle between the two sides was at its fiercest, the horns sounded passionately in the darkness in the distance.
A large number of soldiers from the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security of the Qinghe Army, holding torches, swarmed from a distance and rushed to the fierce battle.
