Thirty miles north of Yangping Pass is an empty place, there are few people on weekdays, even in the bustling western capital near Chang'an, it can be called quite desolate, but in the past month, it has become noisy here, and it is full of people shouting and neighing all day long. As the latest formation of the second army in the army, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, as commanders, are doing their best to train their soldiers, and training in the Yan army is an important criterion for considering whether the commanders are qualified, and the two who have recently been promoted to commanders have also pinned their hopes for battlefield achievements on these elite soldiers.

Compared with Gao Lan's Hurricane Army and Ju Yi's Fire Army, the foundation of the second battalion of Chang'an Sizhou is very strong, the 40,000 troops of Liang Xing, who originally guarded Chang'an, are all veterans of the battlefield, and the more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry captured by the Yan army in the first battle of Sizhou have also been in the battle array for several years, plus mutual help is the old tradition of the armies under Liu Yi, for the newly formed second battalion, whether it is Zhang Liao, the commander of the Yanyun Army, or Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Shirt Army, have given great support, No less than 3,000 military academies at all levels were supported into two battalions! Such a huge output will have an impact on the combat power of the two armies, but these generals in the Yan army have a public heart when treating their comrades, they believe that such losses can be made up for through excellent drills, treat colleagues well, and even defend them in the big war is advocated by the king of Yan, this truth is extremely simple to say, unity is strength, and seamless cooperation can better reflect the strength of the Yan army!

Zhang Xiu is eight in his Chinese New Year's Eve, his uncle Zhang Ji is now the Taishou of Luoyang, and was added to the Marquis of Mengjin by King Yan a few years ago, when the uncle and nephew both served under Li Ji Guo Huang's account, they were reused for their outstanding military skills, Zhang Ji led the army to sit in the Tiger Prison, Zhang Xiu was the general of Hangu Pass, Si Li fought Liu Yi and Ma Teng joined forces to sweep Li Guo and the two into the dust of the years, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew also both joined forces to serve Liu Yi, when Zhang Xiu was appointed as the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, which can be called a high position in the Youzhou army, In addition to his extraordinary martial arts, Zhang Xiu is also extremely talented in commanding the army.

Later, with the reorganization of the Youzhou Army several times, his military position changed, and he came to the Yanyun Battalion as Zhang Liao's deputy, mainly responsible for guarding the world's Xiongguan Tiger Prison! This work is six years, and his body has also been from the captain of Yangwu to the general of Anbei, Liu Yi is quite important to the third brother's senior brother, and it is not unkind to treat him, but what he lacks most in Zhang Xiu's heart is the real combat exploits, of course, it is not that he is incapable, but has been lacking the opportunity to cross the battlefield, Sizhou's strategy has always been to stabilize and the tiger has a very special status for Liu Yi.

It is difficult to get into the battle formation, but Zhang Xiu has never relaxed his tempering, the strength of the soldiers in Youzhou in the first battle of Si Li and Liu Yi's exquisite transfer of troops have left a deep impression on him, Zhang He, the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and Zhang Xiu, the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, has worked with him for too short a time to understand too much, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the Yanyun Battalion, has been on the plain west of Luoyang with less battles and more battles alone to be able to compete with the army led by Guo Yan himself, at that time Zhang Xiu had a trace of admiration for the opponent's use of soldiers, At this time, as colleagues, the relationship between the two is also harmonious!

Although he is a few years younger than himself, Zhang Liao has benefited a lot from his calm and capable skills in the use of troops and the way of generals, the same is to stabilize the overall situation in Sizhou, Zhang Wenyuan has never relaxed the strict requirements for himself and his generals and soldiers, it is precisely because of this that Zhang Hu can not be a director at the beginning of the first battle in Sizhou, Han and Zhang Lianjun won Xiongguan Hangu in one fell swoop, and almost all the army was wiped out under the death battle of the Qinglong Battalion, and the enemy army reached its peak regardless of military strength and morale! But under such an unfavorable military situation, Zhang Liao was also able to calmly analyze the situation, grasp the enemy's greedy and reckless psychology, boldly use troops to deal a huge blow to the coalition army, completely stabilize the crumbling situation in Sizhou, and also ensure that Liu Yi can personally lead the army to come here later, and the last battle will be successful!

In Zhang Xiu's eyes, Zhang Liao, the commander of the Yanyun Battalion, is the goal of his own imitation, when the second army of the wind and fire was newly formed, the call for him to be the commander of the fire army was very high, and he himself also placed great hopes on this, and finally King Yan chose Hebei General Ju Yi to serve as the commander of the post Zhang Xiu also had a great sense of loss, although he would not question Liu Yi's employment and decision, but as a general, who would not want to personally lead the first army to strengthen the army and make contributions to the world?

Fortunately, his loss did not last long, Guo Junshi went to Yongliang, Chang'an Liang Xing was persuaded to surrender, and all the 40,000 troops in the city were under the command of King Yan, Liu Yi did not hesitate to choose Zhang Xiu as the commander of the new Chang'an battalion, with the support of Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan and their own efforts, the Chang'an battalion at this time has formed a strong combat force, but Zhang Xiu still practices every day, and the battle array is always the best place for the general to prove his talent!

Just as Gao Ran Juyi regarded each other as competitors, Zhang Xiu's opponent at this time was Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, the commanders of the newly formed Sizhou Battalion! This person is a great Han general, a martial arts masterful, his ability to command the cavalry can not be underestimated, King Yan is very important to it, and Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu generally poured great effort into the corporaries, although the arms are different, but almost the same army time makes the two battalions naturally become the object of comparison!

In fact, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao have a deep relationship, when Guo Jia entered the land of Xiliang, Changshan Zhao Yun and Xiliang Huzi had a joint battle, the martial arts of the two made all the warriors in the Qiang tribe dare not face it, after Ma Chao was called the god of the heavenly general, but Zhao Yun's name of the silver armor god of war is still circulating among the aliens, his other identity is the husband of the Eight Qiang Holy Maiden Ma Yunlu, and also Ma Chao's brother-in-law, of course, in the daily interactions, Meng Qi has always been a brother Zhao Yun, And Zilong's master, Gun Wang Tongyuan, is also Zhang Xiu's mentor, and the two are the same brothers!

The competition between each other is just a means to enhance the hard work of the soldiers in the Yan army, in private Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao still have a good personal relationship, which is quite similar to the relationship between Xu Huang and Zhang He, the two have never been soft on each other in the combat power of the soldiers but are close friends, this situation can be seen everywhere in the Yan army, competition is for the public and for the pride of the generals in their hearts, but they will not do so when they exchange and learn.

The same gun master also gave the two more common language, Ma Chao's marksmanship needless to say, he has a talent and talent that even Zhao Yun admires on top of the spectrum, and he has been improving day by day in recent years; And as a disciple of the gun king Tong Yuan, although limited to talent Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is not as good as the little junior brother in the battle of Ke Sili, he and Zhao Yun also fought hard outside the lily, at least in Ma Chao's heart, and Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is of great benefit to the progress of his martial arts, such people in the Yan army originally only Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, which can be seen Zhang Gongxing's attainments in the spear in his hand!

Today's Chang'an battalion drill project is the formation of 10,000 people into an army, this kind of drill is generally only after the soldiers and soldiers practice tacit understanding, extremely test for the general's ability to adapt to the battle, when Zhang Liao can defeat Guo Yan's 30,000 troops with more than 10,000 steps in his hands without falling behind, the unpredictable use of the battle array is also one of the main reasons, Zhang Xiuwen Yuan did not have too much secret. At this time, the majestic cavalry on the opposite side of the military array is Ma Chao's Sizhou battalion, the soldiers are all tall and mighty, very imposing, Liu Yi is very important to the cavalry battalion in the role of the arrow, and speaking of this is the biggest pride of the new Sizhou battalion, they not only have the fierce general Ma Chao who is among the generals, but also has a general who is not inferior to the force, that is Pang De, in the first battle of Yanzhou, Pang Lingming was given a battle armor by the prince of Yan.

"Ling Ming, Brother Gongxing's rejection of horses is complete, but in the eyes of our state battalion, there is no unbreakable formation, you and I are all elite cavalry troops, this battle will definitely establish meritorious service for King Yan, we must not let the generals in the iron cavalry battalion see the joke, Ling Ming Zhonghua, divide the troops and attack on the side, and break through from the middle!" This kind of exercise is of great benefit to both sides, the Chang'an battalion can improve the ability to guard against cavalry raids, and the Sizhou battalion can also gain experience in how to effectively break through the enemy's battle formation, after all, in Zhang Xiu's heart, there is still a strong army like the dragon and the tiger Wei Yanyun to surpass, and Ma Chao naturally regarded the iron cavalry battalion as his own goal, and quietly observed the opponent's neat formation, Meng Qi quickly made a decision, Yan Wang said that the general's force is only secondary, and the emphasis is on the unified army, Ma Chao, who has always been extremely respectful, will never forget.

But after Pound and Ma Dai responded, the drills of the two sides did not start, the reason was that the red flag was erected in the military formation of the Chang'an battalion, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the two sides attached great importance to such exercises, and there was no sloppiness in the slightest, but at this time they shouted to stop at the touch of the moment, presumably Zhang Xiu must have had an important change, thinking of this, Ma Chao urged the war horse under the crotch and galloped to the opponent's formation, and Zhang Xiu also greeted him when he entered the battle.

"Meng Qi, Hanzhong Zhang Junshi urgently passed the book, Zhang Lu has already served the King of Yan, the military advisor asked me to rush to talk to his senior brother Zhang Ren immediately on the Xiongguan round, this matter is related to the great cause of the King of Yan, we must do it quickly, Zhang will set off, and I hope Meng Qi will help me more than 1,000 fine horses!" Zhang Xiu's words had a look of excitement on his face that could not be concealed, the military advisor really lived up to the trust of King Yan, once Hanzhong started and then won Xiongguan, Yizhou could become a place for the Yan army!

"That being the case, the military situation is the top, Brother Gongxing go quickly, there is a superline here, Zhonghua, you personally welcome a team of 1,000 people to go with Brother Gongxing to help Zhang Junshi, everything should obey Commander Zhang's orders!" Ma Chao replied without thinking about it, since the military situation is like fire, it should be resolute!
