Listening to Li Xiao's sonorous and powerful statement, Wu Liang still looked worried. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The students hope that Master Li will think twice, our army's strength is still weak, if the consumption is too great in the battle against the Tartars, and the damage is fundamental, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses."

"Mr. Wu, your thoughts, this official understands it. This official is now only a thousand household officials, and his official position is low, and he is quite taboo according to the two territories of Chifeng Fort and Iron Dragon City. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good, and if the rank of the official is not promoted, it is difficult to try to expand the territory and the army. Li Xiao paused, and said with deep eyes: "We are the Ming generals, and we have won the famous battle since ancient times, and it is also our duty to fight for the country." If you can win fame and become a knight, then the space for this official to display in this Shandong land is much broader. If you are timid and only care about your own thoughts, what is the difference between this official and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong who is bent on personal gain. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Wu Liang finally nodded and sighed: "Adults have far-reaching ideas, but students listen to the arrangement." ”

After agreeing with Wu Liang, Li Xiao immediately conveyed the military order.

He ordered that the general army of Tian Weijia, which is now stationed in Iron Dragon City, that is, three teams of shield soldiers, five teams of spearmen, 40 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, and 50 flying harrier light cavalry, will be the main force of this expedition. In addition, all 60 Lu Mi gunners of the firearms unit also accompanied the army.

The logistics team of this expedition was in charge of Chen Monkey, the head of the former naval division, and brought 60 auxiliary soldiers from Chifeng Fort as logistics laborers, and used the ten new four-wheeled carriages that had been made at the moment to arrive in Shanxian County, and then transferred 10 four-wheeled carriages from here, a total of 20 vehicles, in the form of three people per carriage, to carry silver, grain, carriage accessories, firearms and ammunition and other materials.

In addition, Zhang Tongzhu blacksmith and Dr. Chen Mazi of Chifeng Fort also brought some capable assistants and men respectively, prepared tools and medicinal materials, and set out with the army.

Now Wang Yishou B, who is stationed in Chifeng Fort, is led by Wang Yishou, and two teams of shield soldiers, two teams of spearmen, 40 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, and 50 flying harriers are light cavalry, and they come to Iron Dragon City to take over the defense. At Chifeng Fort, only one team of shield soldiers and two teams of spearmen and artillery troops were left to garrison. Another team of spearmen was stationed on the mountain to guard the bandit laborers, as well as the three workshops of the brick factory, the lime factory, and the quarry.

Li Xiao also arranged that after the soldiers went on the expedition, the Iron Dragon City was still built as usual, and all its management work was taken care of by Wu Liang. The related management of Chifeng Fort and Squatting Dog Mountain is fully responsible for Xu Xiuqing.

After all these preparations were made, Li Xiao led his army north, went to Wuding Prefecture on the border of Shandong and Beizhili, and joined Yao Wenchang's department, and then went to Beijing together, and then listened to the next dispatch.

Li Xiao's orders were quickly implemented.

In the past few days, Wu Zhuang, a laborer of the new annexed army who was carrying bricks and sand, was surprised to see that a large number of new soldiers had arrived in Tielong City, and there were also a lot of horse-drawn carriages carrying food and goods.

Wu Zhuang envied those soldiers from his heart, looking at the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, thinking that he was full of martial arts but it was difficult to fight on the battlefield again, Wu Zhuang yearned in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel inexplicable melancholy.

Don't think too much about it, let's make a good transformation of yourself. After all, that Xu Jianfu also said that as long as he behaves well, he will definitely have the opportunity to become a member of Li Xiaojun as soon as possible.

I hope that with my own efforts, I can make this day come as soon as possible.

Wu Zhuang stopped thinking nonsense, stood the sand on his shoulders steadily, and strode towards the city wall.

"Urna man, come here!"

Hearing that someone seemed to be calling himself, Wu Zhuang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, but saw a bald man beckoning to him.

Wu Zhuang recognized this person, it was Monk An who had mixed into his own rogue camp some time ago, and hurriedly put down the sand and walked over quickly.

"What do you command?"

After Wu Zhuang said respectfully, he didn't expect that Monk Na'an shouted loudly and swung a punch at him.

Wu Zhuang was startled, and then quickly turned around to dodge, and Monk An's fierce fist style was worthy of passing his face.

The two immediately fought in one place, and you fought back and forth for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Wu Zhuang had an idea, selling a flaw, and Monk An saw that his chest was open, and he didn't know what to do, so he roared and slammed his fist.

Seeing that he was deceived, Wu Zhuang avoided it sideways, swept cross-legged, and tripped Monk An's right foot that was supported.

"Lord An, I agreed."

Wu Zhuang walked over and wanted to lift Monk An up from the ground.

Monk An pushed him away, bounced up from the ground with agility, clapped his hands and laughed: "Good guy, if your martial arts are really good, then Xu Xiu recommended you to me, but you have a vision." ”

Wu Zhuang was stunned, he didn't know what Monk An meant by this, he turned his head, but saw Xu Xiu accompanying Li Xiao, the official of the thousand households, and walked towards him with a smile.

"Master Li, this person is the martial artist recommended to you by the student, during this time, this person has been actively reforming, extremely serious and responsible, and has a good martial arts, but he is a good man." Xu Xiu introduced to Li Xiao as he walked.

"Master Li, I want this person, his skills are really fucking good, it's really suitable to join my rampant team." Monk An saw Li Xiao approaching, and also laughed and said to Li Xiao.

Wu Zhuang became more and more confused, he shrunk his hands and feet to stand, a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Wu Zhuang's confused look, Monk An patted him on the shoulder vigorously and laughed to explain to him the rampant team that was about to be established now.

It turned out that in the past few days, Li Xiao had been thinking about it for a long time, and planned to select a group of people who were skilled in martial arts and strong to set up an elite heavy armored infantry team called the Hengxing Team.

After the last time he fought with the Tartars, Li Xiao was extremely impressed by those white-toothed soldiers who were heavily armored and rushed into battle. The white-toothed soldiers wearing heavy armor, with only 5 of them, were able to break through Li Xiaojun's battle formation, causing many casualties.

The white armor is trapped, and one is ten. This method of warfare is the secret of the Later Jin's defeat of the Mongols and the invincible Ming army in Liaodong. When the battle formation is in a stalemate, it is easy to disrupt the opponent's position with such an elite heavy infantry to charge the formation, and finally achieve the effect of collapsing the opponent.

Last time, Li Xiao seized hundreds of pieces of rogue armor, although it was worn, it was still wearable. Therefore, Li Xiao decided to imitate the battle mode of the Later Jin, and became a heavily armored charging force wearing three layers of armor and iron helmets, using heavy weapons such as tiger knives, tiger spears, and long-handled knives captured during the battle in Jinzhou.

The rampant team, this majestic name, was named by Li Xiao as the exclusive team name of this heavy infantry unit that is a bit like a special forces.

Since there were only about 40 pieces of Houjin heavy weapons captured, Li Xiao decided that the newly established rampant squad would tentatively have a number of 42 people, and the personnel would be selected from the infantry who were brave in battle and tall and strong.

Although it only includes the captain and deputy captain and the second-class team members now, Li Xiao decided that if there are more suitable weapons and armor in the future, he will continue to expand.

To Li Xiao's surprise, the soldiers heard the news, and almost everyone wanted to join this team with great warriors and male pride, and even cavalry wanted to join it.

After all, such a heavily armed soldier armed to the teeth, like a miniature tank in motion, rushing into battle and killing all sides, is the ultimate dream of almost every hot-blooded boy.

What Li Xiao didn't expect the most was that as soon as he said this plan, he was the happiest, the most happy, and the person who enthusiastically recommended himself was actually the deputy gunman Chang'an monk.

Monk An almost begged Li Xiao to become the captain of this rampaging team.

Seeing Monk An's eager and eager face, Li Xiao couldn't feel happy in his heart, he remembered that when Monk An went to serve as the captain of the spearmen, Monk An had forced him to only teach the spearmen to practice a stabbing arrangement, and the helplessness and unwillingness were still vivid.

I do have some grievances against this guy with outstanding martial arts and superb marksmanship.

Then, the rampant team that can allow him to show his marksmanship talent is the most suitable position for Monk An.

Monk An was afraid that Li Xiao would not agree, and even told Li Xiao that he could not be the deputy sentry commander of the spearmen, but also the captain of this rampant team. When Li Xiao heard this, he laughed loudly.

Li Xiao finally agreed to his request, but temporarily let him serve as the spear sentry commander. Moreover, the members and vice-captains of the rampant team, as well as the four subordinate captains and deputy captains, were all selected by Monk An.

Monk An, who successfully served as the captain of the rampant team, was overjoyed, and he shouted to Li Xiao excitedly: "Please rest assured, Lord Li, I will do my best to bring you a majestic and powerful rampant team!" ”

He then suggested to Li Xiao that due to the urgency of time, the rampant team could select suitable candidates from the thousands of new annexed troops who had surrendered. If you pick from the existing Lancers and Shieldmen, it will take a while for the new recruits to become familiar with the formation, and time no longer allows for that.

He told Li Xiao that he had been in the rogue for many days and knew very well which people were strong in martial arts. These people, if they are added to the spearmen or shield team, will also need a period of time to hone the formation, but it is a pity that they have a lot of martial arts, and now there is this rampant team, but it is just right for them to show their skills.

Li Xiao agreed to Monk An's suggestion, but he emphasized that the supervisors of the Supervision Department must recognize that these new annexed army ideas are indeed more reliable before they can join the rampant team.

Only when both ideology and military skills are strong can they become qualified rampant members. This is an iron rule that Li Xiao has determined.

In the end, Monk An and the following supervisors selected the list of selected personnel. The supervisor of the rampant team was Xu Xiu.

And Wu Zhuang, who was active and strong in martial arts, was actually considered by Monk An and Supervisor Xu Xiu to be the best candidate to serve as the vice captain of the rampant team.

So, the scene just happened just now.

After this fist and foot exchange, Monk An recognized Wu Zhuang's ability even more. After all, a vice-captain, if his martial arts are not outstanding, the team members below may not be convinced.

When he learned that he had been appointed as the deputy captain of the rampaging team, Wu Zhuang felt that he had been invaded by a huge happiness, and he knelt down to Li Xiao with an excited face to thank him, and his speech was a little stumbling: "Wu Zhuang, a prisoner of crime, has been appreciated by Lord Li like this, and he is really grateful, and he is only willing to serve Lord Li and drive away, in order to answer the emergency." ”

Li Xiao smiled and helped him: "Wu Zhuang, this official said that as long as you perform well, this official will definitely not hesitate to give you a chance to perform." I also hope that you will work harder today, build meritorious deeds for yourself to gain fame, and set a good example for the officers and men of our army. ”

Wu Zhuang promised repeatedly, and Li Xiao ordered that the set of high-grade mountain pattern armor that was peeled off from Zheng Longfang's body that day be rewarded to Wu Zhuang to stimulate his ambition.

An Heyan joked on the side: "Wu Zhuang, you guy, it's good luck." The set of white iron armor that Lord Qianhu gave me that day was not as good as yours. ”

Seeing that he was so appreciated by the Lord of a Thousand Households, Wu Zhuang had tears in his eyes, and knelt down on the ground and thanked him: "Lord Li is so deeply gracious and virtuous, Wu Zhuang has nothing else to say, and he will repay him with his liver and brain!" ”

Soon, the 4 captains and deputy captains and other team members were also selected. Monk An gathered them together and began to lecture in high spirits.

"You guys, you guys, it's good luck to get into this elite rampaging team. Grandma, I don't talk nonsense with you, just say two points, the first point is to obey Lord Li's orders, and Lord Li will do whatever you tell us to do, which is very important, and it is the basis for you guys to settle down in our army. The second point is to rush to the front, dare to fight, and raise the prestige of our rampant team. We are such an elite team, if someone escapes from the battle, afraid of death and afraid of battle, I will definitely chop this embarrassing bastard with one sword. Do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Be louder, don't be like a!"

"Got it!!"

"Well, very good, you dogs, whenever you go in the future, you need to keep in mind the words of this team today, okay, let's start distributing armor and weapons."

The rampaging team members took the armor with a happy face, and chose the weapon they thought was most convenient.

Each person has a set of close-fitting leather armor, then a set of cotton armor, and an outermost set of iron armor. Subsequently, everyone was issued with iron helmets, and Monk An, Wu Zhuang and the four armor chiefs below were even equipped with fine iron tasseled helmets with face armor.

At this time, Wu Zhuang was wearing close-fitting leather armor inside, and the gorgeous mountain pattern armor was covered outside, and the whole person looked more and more heroic and strong. He picked out a heavy tiger knife similar to Li Xiao, and danced a few times, feeling very comfortable.

And Monk An, the captain of the rampaging team dressed in fine white iron armor, chose a heavy tiger tooth gun.

"Grandma, I really want to go and fight with those Tartars as soon as possible, I didn't kill a single Tartar in Jinzhou that day, but I was suffocated." Monk An danced the tiger tooth gun, but his mouth was scolding hatefully.

Seeing that the rampant team had started training, Li Xiao explained a few words to the supervisor Xu Xiu, and then turned around and went back to the house.

Li Xiao opened the door, but saw Zu Wan'er sitting on the wall with her back to her back without saying a word.

"What's wrong. Still angry. Li Xiao smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Hmph, Li Xiao, if you don't take me with you, I'll fight with you every day." Zu Wan'er didn't look back, and her tone was ruthless.

"Alas, my eldest lady, our army is going to fight with the Tartars, not to travel to the house, this time to go, it is dangerous and abnormal, how can I take you there."

Zu Wan'er turned around and looked aggrieved: "Then Doctor Chen, they can all go, why can't I go!" Li Xiao, don't underestimate people, do you know no, in the past few months, my medical level has grown a lot, and I can do things such as dispensing, bandaging, and assistants. Dr. Chen also praised me for my medical care skills, which were better than those of his fellow workers. I will go this time, and I can also help you treat the wounded and the people, and I will not eat your food for nothing! ”

Li Xiao was stunned, shook his head again, and said, "Cough, Doctor Chen's kind words to praise you, you still can't take it seriously." This official is a general of the imperial court, and life and death battles are commonplace. It's just that I'm worried that if Wan'er has an accident, the official won't be able to explain to your parents. They are just a daughter like you, like a pearl in the palm of your hand, if you destroy my hands, wouldn't Li Xiao die to atone for his sins. ”

Zu Wan'er pursed her lips: "Hmph, I'm not worried about you, you are a cat, you can't die." ”

Li Xiao deliberately lowered his face: "Look at you, how do you speak." ”

Zu Wan'er twisted her face to the side: "I don't care, if you go to Beizhili or Xuanfu Town, then I will definitely go too, I am alone here, and I want to die every day when I think about you." ”

Li Xiao showed a weird smile on his face: "Then you really want to go?" ”

"Yes, it's going to go!"

"Well, then I'll say it again, no!"

Li Xiao stopped drinking tea, turned his head and opened the door and left. Zu Wan'er's face turned pale with anger, she looked at the back of Li Xiao who was walking away quickly, and scolded: "Li Xiao, you bastard, tell you, this girl is going to go, you are not allowed but you can't do it!" ”
