"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

On this day, near Zhen'an County on the South Road of Guyuan Military Town, an army was slowly marching along the road.

Compared with ordinary border armies, the momentum of this army is extraordinarily different.

Although it was a field march, it was still orderly, both horizontal and vertical, the queues were all neat and uniform, and the sergeants were all young and strong men, fully armed and armoured, and all of them had straight waists and solemn faces!

The most incredible thing is that this army can keep the same pace as they walk, and you can hear the same roar as they walk in the distance!

On the fields on both sides of the road, there are some people who are planting in autumn, and after seeing this army, they can't help but be in awe, although the people don't understand the art of war and military strategy, but they can also feel the powerful military power and heroic spirit exuded by this army!

This unique army is naturally Qi Bin's new army!

With the strong support of Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen, Qi Bin's new army has now expanded to a scale of 3,000 people, of which the number of cavalry is small, only about 500 people, but the number of musketeers is relatively large, about eight or nine hundred, all of whom are equipped with the finest flintlock pistols of the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining sergeants are all pikemen wearing heavy armor and holding spears.

It can be said that Qi Bin's new army is not only well-groomed and well-trained, but their equipment is also far stronger than that of ordinary border troops!

In the middle of the army, Qi Bin rode on a horse and kept scanning the surrounding sergeants, and a trace of satisfaction occasionally flashed in his eyes.

After this period of marching exercises, Qi Bin's new army has indeed grown extremely fast!

At the beginning, the formation of the new army soldiers would be chaotic every few dozen steps, and the team had to be reorganized, but after this period of training, the new army soldiers could still maintain a tight queue after walking a thousand steps.

For this era, such an achievement is extremely amazing, and it also makes Qi Bin deeply satisfied.

"After more than a month of hard work, although it slowed down the march very slowly, it was all worth it! The soldiers can now keep the queue in line for a long time, which shows that they have integrated queue training into their bones...... As long as they are still in a neat queue and orderly in attack and defense after they go to the battlefield in the future, the soldiers can provide the greatest support to each other, and different branches of the army can also play their best roles...... By that time, this army, although only 3,000 men, was enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Mongol Tatars! ”

Thinking of this, a trace of arrogance flashed on Qi Bin's face.

After all, such a strong army was all trained by him!

And just when Qi Bin was thinking, a military attache wearing a general flag costume rode a horse to Qi Bin's side, and asked respectfully: "General Qi, it's already three poles in the sun, and now it's the weather of the autumn tiger, it's really stuffy, and the sergeants have been walking in armor for a whole morning, all of them are hungry and exhausted...... Do you think we stopped the army and rested for half an hour? Or so that the soldiers can take the opportunity to eat some dry food? ”

This military attache is only in his early teens, fair-skinned, handsome, his attitude at this time seems to be humble, but there is still a hint of arrogance in his expression, between his hands and feet, there is both the ability of a soldier, but also the wealth of a child of a family, obviously from an extraordinary background.

After seeing this military attaché, a trace of complexity flashed in Qi Bin's eyes, both admiration and satisfaction, as well as disgust and vigilance!

This military attache claimed to be named Wang He, a person from Yiwu, Zhejiang, from a small landlord family, since he was a child, he loved martial arts, made good use of spears and sticks, and also read some military books, Qi Bin recruited more than 1,000 recruits in Yiwu a few days ago, and Wang He was one of them.

When Wang He joined the army, Qi Bin thought that the children of landlords like Wang He were often pampered and difficult to discipline, and he was a little repulsed in his heart, so he put forward a harsh requirement - Wang He must wear heavy armor and run three miles, otherwise he could not join the new army.

But to Qi Bin's surprise, Wang He actually passed the test!

In this way, Qi Bin also changed his views and included Wang He in the new army, and because Wang He was proficient in martial arts, literate and reasonable, and his foundation was far better than that of ordinary soldiers, Qi Bin also focused on cultivating him, hoping that Wang He would be able to take charge of himself in the future!

Wang He did not disappoint Qi Bin, he did not have the arrogance and squeamishness of a gentleman, he had to work harder than ordinary soldiers during training, and he also had his own opinions on the art of war, and he quickly learned all the knowledge needed by low-level officers, and his leadership skills gradually showed were also supported and embraced by ordinary sergeants......

In this way, Qi Bin attached more importance to Wang He, and soon promoted him to become a deputy flag officer, a small flag officer, and then a chief flag officer.

As long as he is promoted to another rank, Wang He will become the deputy hundred households in the army and officially enter the ranks of middle-level military attachés.

Originally, Qi Bin thought that this day would not be too far away!

But just when Qi Bin was about to recommend Wang He to the Yulin General Soldier to become the deputy hundred, he accidentally discovered something!

That is, Wang He's name, origin, and origin are all fake!

This person's real name is Zhao He, and he is not from Yiwu, but a descendant of the Zhao family of the Yangzhou clan! And the most famous clansman of the Zhao family in Yangzhou is Zhao Junchen, one of the powerful ministers of the current court, the head of the household!

Then, under the intentional investigation, Qi Bin discovered many things one after another!

For example, Zhao He has always tried every means to buy people's hearts and form gangs in the new army!

For another example, in addition to Zhao He, there are several people in Qi Bin's new army who are related to the Zhao family in Yangzhou, or Zhao He's relatives and brothers, or the generations of the Zhao family in Yangzhou.

For another example, Zhao He and the others would receive a large amount of silver every once in a while, and all of this money was used by them to buy people's hearts.

These things were added together, and Qi Bin quickly understood one thing, that is, Zhao Junchen had been secretly infiltrating his new army, intending to control the military power, and his ambitions were extremely great!

Qi Bin originally had a good impression of Zhao Junchen, thinking that although Zhao Junchen was notorious, he was also a capable minister, and he understood the happiness of the border army very well, but because of these things, Qi Bin soon became wary and alienated from Zhao Junchen.

This time, after Zhao Junchen came to Shaanxi and Gansu, he suddenly overthrew Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides, and became the actual controller of the military and government of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Therefore, after receiving Zhao Junchen's conscription order, Qi Bin was worried that after he led the army to arrive at the Huamachi camp, Zhao Junchen would take away his military power, and the new army he had worked hard to train would also make a wedding dress for Zhao Junchen, so he was always perfunctory and procrastinating!

According to Qi Bin's plan, he will arrive at Huamachi Camp after the official war between the Shaanxi-Gansu border army and the Mongolian coalition army, and at that time, due to the urgency of the military situation, Zhao Junchen will not dare to easily take away Qi Bin's military power, and then wait until Qi Bin has repeatedly performed miraculous feats and gained fame with this new army, and he will have some resistance power, and Zhao Junchen will have scruples if he wants to take away Qi Bin's military power!

*

Thinking back to the change in his mentality during this period of time, Qi Bin's mood was a little dignified, and he looked at Zhao He deeply.

Qi Bin's attitude towards Zhao He is a little complicated, not only admiring his talent and ability, but also disgusting his bad intentions.

However, Qi Bin has not yet caught tangible evidence, and the money and food of the new army are inseparable from Zhao Junchen's support, so Qi Bin just endured it for the time being, and there was no showdown, and he still kept Zhao He by his side.

At this time, seeing that Qi Bin did not answer his inquiry, but just looked at himself deeply, Zhao He's mood was a little apprehensive, and he tentatively asked again: "General Qi?" Do you think we're going to stop the army and take a break? ”

This time, Qi Bin finally nodded and replied: "Just according to what you said, let the soldiers rest in place!" Set off again in half an hour! ”

Zhao He nodded, and immediately turned around to arrange, and his actions were quite capable!

Looking at Zhao He's back, Qi Bin sighed secretly, feeling that Zhao He was indeed a rare malleable talent, but it was a pity that he was not of the same heart as himself.

In a way, Qi Bin realized Zhao Junchen's helplessness at this moment!

Then, with Qi Bin's order, the originally neat and uniform new army team suddenly became chaotic, and most of the soldiers couldn't wait to throw away their armor, and even threw their blades aside.

Seeing this scene, Qi Bin frowned again.

According to Qi Bin's idea, the officers and men of the new army should maintain the capable state of soldiers at all times.

But Qi Bin also knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry, although the soldiers of the new army were marching very slowly along the way, they were not only wearing heavy armor, but also had to ensure that the pace was consistent and the queue was neat, which was far more fortunate than the ordinary rapid march.

You must know that when the ordinary army is on the road, the soldiers do not really wear armor with blades, and most of them carry the armor on their backs, which is far easier than the soldiers of Qi Bin's new army.

Wearing heavy armor of more than 50 pounds, coupled with the hot weather after autumn, it is definitely a lucky errand to rush in this situation!

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the gaffes of the officers and men of the new army.

*

After a short rest, the soldiers of the New Army took out their dry food and water to fill their stomachs.

Although Qi Bin is the chief general of the new army, he does not have any privileges, he also sits on the ground and gnaws on dry food, and his dry food is also a coarse dough cake that is difficult to swallow, which is no different from the dry food of the soldiers.

Qi Bin never excluded himself from sharing weal and sorrow with the soldiers, so he was deeply supported and had a high prestige among the new army.

However, just when Qi Bin and the sergeants were filling their stomachs together, a mutation protruded!

In the distance of the road, there was a sudden roar of horses' hooves!

Qi Bin's complexion changed, and he quickly judged by the sound of horses' hooves that the other party had at least three thousand people, and all of them were well-trained elites!

In the Northwest Frontier Army, it is rare to see such a large-scale cavalry!

Nowadays, the fire has become more and more intense, although Zhen'an County is located in the hinterland of Shaanxi and Gansu, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Mongolian army!

Could it be that this is an attack by Mongol cavalry?

Thinking of this, Qi Bin hurriedly stood up and ordered loudly: "All the soldiers obey the order and immediately line up the army!" Prepare for battle! ”

With Qi Bin's order, the officers and men of the New Army, who were originally lazy and lazy, suddenly changed their attitudes, and in a very short time, they became capable and strong again.

Qi Bin's painstaking training was not in vain, if an ordinary army encounters a surprise attack, it will inevitably become a mess, the officers can't find the soldiers, the soldiers can't find the officers, it takes a long time to be able to reorganize the team, even if the opponent's cavalry attacks in front of them, it can't be effectively organized!

But the soldiers of Qi Bin's new army had already integrated their respective formation positions into their instincts, and it only took a cup of tea to put on their armor again and reorganize the queue!

Then, the spearmen and shieldmen were in the front, the musketeers were in the back, and the cavalrymen were mounted and ready to go, and everyone was ready to fight.

Then, Qi Bin finally saw a large force of cavalry running in the distance!

After seeing that these cavalry were all wearing the mandarin duck robes unique to the Ming army, Qi Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he was just a false alarm, this cavalry was not a Mongolian Tartar, but a friendly army!

But soon, Qi Bin found that something was wrong!

The cavalry of the other side obviously also discovered Qi Bin's new army, but not only did they not slow down their horses, but they further accelerated their horses, and when the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, the knights on the horses raised their sabers one after another!

This cavalry, which seemed to be a friendly army, actually wanted to attack Qi Bin's new army!

"Could it be that this cavalry is a Mongol disguise?!"

In addition to being shocked, Qi Bin was not confused, but his expression was full of seriousness, and he ordered loudly again: "Change the formation!" Get ready to kill! The other side is not a friendly army! ”

With Qi Bin's order, the spearmen in the front row put up their shields and raised their spears one after another, the musketeers in the back were ready for gunpowder and ready to go, and the cavalry moved towards the two wings of the military formation, ready to outflank the enemy at any time!

For a time, the spears were like forests and the giant shields were like mountains!

If it is an ordinary border army, it will take at least half a pillar of incense to prepare these things, but for Qi Bin's new army, these things only need half a cup of tea time to prepare!

However, although Qi Bin's new army is extremely fast, the cavalry of the other side is also all well-trained elite.

In just a moment, this cavalry team had already rushed to three hundred meters away from Qi Bin's new army!

According to this trend, in the next moment, the two armies will collide together!

A big war, on the verge of breaking out!

PS: The bugs found that they were really not good at describing the military! This chapter was written and deleted, but I was not very satisfied.

But in any case, the bugs will definitely guarantee the quality! Strive to finish the plot of Shaanxi and Gansu within October!

In addition, if there are any good-looking ancient war themes, I hope you recommend them, so that insects can learn from one or two,
