On the official road from Jingbian Fort to Zhenbei Fort, a team of about 1,000 people walked slowly along the winding road.

I saw that this team was divided into three columns, everyone was wearing white clothes, wearing white helmets, carrying gray-black arquebuses on their shoulders, walking slowly and neatly, from a distance, the whole team was a line horizontally and vertically, there was an inexplicable beauty.

At the front of the procession, there was a gloveled flag-bearer holding a flag with black letters on a red background and a big word 'Wang' written on it.

On the side of the flag bearer, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a military general, at this time, this military general was looking left and right unwillingly, and his mouth was still babbling and whispering: "Damn, I don't know where they will appear?" ”

"Mr. Wang Qian, what are you talking about?" Another man dressed as a military general beside Mr. Wang Qian asked with a puzzled face.

"It's nothing, Vice President Qin, I'm thinking that Jingbian Fort is very far away from Zhenbei Fort, and we're just afraid that we will have to walk for a long time!" Mr. Wang Qian replied.

"Who's to say it isn't! Master Qian, Jingbian Fort is 30 miles away from Zhenbei Fort, usually we can get there by horseback, that is, we can get there in an hour and a half, and now we are wearing three layers of heavy armor, and we have to walk to Zhenbei Fort, and I don't know how long it will take to get there. You also know that the three layers of armor together weigh more than 60 pounds, which is really heavy. "Vice President Qin has a negative airway.

"You know what! This is called field training, exercising our physical strength. Wang Qian criticized.

"Master Qian, I think this is rectifying us, you see, how can you still wear full armor when you march!" Vice President Qin continued to mumble.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime, I don't know how many times the general has said it." Wang Qian replied.

"This is true, but why is it that only our firecrackers have to go to Zhenbei Fort on foot today, but they don't use it? Isn't General Liu angry that we have been thieves, and he still makes it difficult for me to wait? Vice President Qin said depressedly.

"What did you say!?" When Wang Qian heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled, he looked back left and right, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and hissed: "Qin Debin, be careful when you speak, don't let the general be placed in the army to hear this!" Otherwise, you and I will be in trouble. ”

"Hey, hey, yes, yes." Qin Debin was reminded by Mr. Wang Qian, and he also realized that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly echoed a few words.

"Vice President Qin, originally we were a second-class army, with only two pairs of armor, this is indeed a fact, but later the general considered that it was not easy to train us, and did not want us to be easily killed and injured, so he issued us a pair of armor, although we are nominally a second-class army, but the salaries and weapons are no different from those issued by the first-class army, why are you not satisfied? Why do you want to give birth?

In the past, when you were a border army, the poor jingle sounded, and I didn't see you have any resentment, but now General Liu provides us with good food and drink, and also gives our family a field, you still complain, you say, are you human? Mr. Wang Qian's face was dark, and Mr. Qin came down.

When Qin Debin heard this, he thought for a while before replying: "I really shouldn't think like this. ”

"That's right, if you think about the general's treatment of ordinary thieves, and then think about our situation, you can know that we are lucky enough, it can be said that if it wasn't for my king's early surrender, he would have been like the prince and them now, and he couldn't leave a whole corpse when he died." When Wang Zuohang said this, he suddenly sighed.

"What Mr. Wang Qian said is, but I think it's strange, why only my people want to train, and other people don't need it?" Vice President Qin said persistently.

"Lao Qin, let me remind you, your thinking is very important, the general's order, you and I just have to carry it out, otherwise the general has always been ruthless, if he knows that you are dissatisfied, you will definitely die without a place to be buried." Wang Zuohang saw that Qin Debin had been around for a long time, and he was still thinking about this thing, so he simply used his trump card and moved out of Liu Renyu's name to suppress the other party.

Sure enough, when Vice President Qin heard this, he stopped talking, but he didn't hurry silently with a black face, so the fire gun team under Wang Zuohang's department had no other sound except for the sound of walking footsteps and the impact of armor.

Jingbian Fort to the left of the official road to Zhenbei Fort is near, a relatively open terrain, surrounded by mountains, in the middle of a relatively flat small basin, Liu Renyu, dressed in white uniform, sat on a horse safely, and asked the herald in front of him: "How far is Wang Zuo's hanging department from us?" ”

"If you go back to the general, it's still 5 miles away from us." The herald replied.

"Very good, Tie Niu, Renjie, the terrain here is flat, suitable for cavalry action, those slopes are not very high, just to hide the figure, you two wait until the king's left-hanging troops come here, and then suddenly rush out, and see how he king's left-hanging troops and horses deal with it. I'm hiding on that hillside, and I'm going to see how you guys are doing. ”

"General, you can rest assured, we have a lot of veterans under our hands, and veterans are fighting with new recruits, no problem." Zhang Tieniu patted his chest and reassured.

"I believe in you, but you have to remember that when you take people to the drill later, don't be careless and don't do your best because it's just a fake war, you must make it clear to the soldiers that you must fight it as a real battle, that is, you have to fight a fake war seriously, can you hear it clearly?" Liu Renyu advised.

"It's clear." Liu Renjie and Zhang Tieniu responded in unison.

"This is very good, this exercise must be fought seriously, and at the same time, we must pay attention to safety. Wait and remember, if a soldier is hit by a clay bullet and falls from his horse, he must protect his head and neck, and the cavalry following behind him must not step on the person in front. Liu Renyu admonished again.

"I will make it clear to the soldiers after waiting for a while, please rest assured general." Zhang Tieniu and Liu Renjie assured.

"Okay, you guys go and prepare, and when the king's left hanging department comes, you decide for yourself when to start fighting, I'll just watch from the side." After Liu Renyu said this, he was about to turn around and leave, but Zhang Tieniu smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the general, who is the commander-in-chief in this operation?" ”

"How about you?" Liu Renyu smiled.

"Tie Niu is a fighter, but he is not the commander-in-chief!" Zhang Tieniu replied with a smile.

"Hey, you are a little measured, I appreciate you, as you wish, Renjie is the commander-in-chief of this operation, and you can discuss the matter of the exercise." Liu Renyu commanded.

"General, I'm ........" Liu Renjie saw that Liu Renyu arranged for Zhang Tiniu, who was more senior than him, as his deputy, and felt that it was inappropriate, he was about to shirk it, and he didn't watch out for Liu Renyu but didn't give Liu Renjie a chance to speak, only to see him suddenly shout: "Renjie, what is the first article of the infantry drill code?" ”

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" Liu Renjie replied solemnly.

"That's right, let you be as you are, don't be wordy, okay, you wait and get ready, they should be there in a while."

"Yes, General." Zhang Tieniu and Liu Renjie responded.

When the three generals had finished speaking, they dispersed and prepared to go.
