Chapter 151: Show of Force

After the two sides met, Xiao Tianjian personally invited Luo Rucai and his party to get on the horse, and then walked side by side with Luo Rucai, along the way kept talking about the current situation and talking about the heroes of the world from time to time, Xiao Tianjian was even more respectful of Luo Rucai, giving Luo Rucai enough face, and did not mention Luo Rucai's defeat this time and ran to him for refuge, which made Luo Rucai quite comfortable, and couldn't help but feel that Xiao Tianjian was a very knowledgeable person, and his vigilance against Xiao Tianjian was lowered a lot for a while.

And Liu Yaoben, Situ Liang and others also took the opportunity to talk to Dongshan Tiger Han Fang, showing that they were very enthusiastic about Dongshan Tiger, but they were very cold to the general, as if they didn't take him seriously at all.

The Collapse of the Sky General on horseback along the way can be said to be like sitting on pins and needles, and how awkward it is in his heart to be, looking at the Dongshan Tiger who is talking and laughing with the generals of the Xingtian Army, he is even more jealous and gritted his teeth.

Xiao Tianjian made an exception for this banquet to be very luxurious, all kinds of delicious dishes were sent up in a steady stream, Luo Rucai and his generals were all full of joy, the only fly in the ointment was that there was a man's world in the Xingtian Army, there were no maids to serve at all, and there were no courtesans to entertain, asked this question, Xiao Tianjian even said: "The heaviest thing in my Xingtian Army is military discipline, and it is strictly ordered that no female dependents shall be carried in the army. I have to take my female dependents with me, but now the army can't tolerate the existence of this kind of thing, not only for the generals, even Xiao himself, his family members are not allowed to accompany the camp! Only in this way can the officers and men in the army ensure high morale and not be mistaken by women! Therefore, there is a lot of negligence this time, and I hope that General Luo and all the generals will bear with me! ”

After Luo Rucai listened, he was a little embarrassed, in his army, the situation was just the opposite, he Luo Rucai no matter where he went, he brought a lot of beautiful dependents, and the generals in the middle of the army all brought wives and concubines, three or five were few, and it was common to act in the camp and prostitute when he was fine, and the interest came, and even in the big tent, it was even more customary to let some beautiful women who were caught singing and dancing, but looking at the military appearance and military discipline in the Xingtian Army, how not to make him feel ashamed?

It is no wonder that the Xingtian Army has won many battles against the official army, and rarely encountered defeats, Xiao Tianjian, the big boss, has indeed built the Xingtian Army under his command into an iron army, which is beyond his Luo Rucai's ability.

However, Luo Rucai is not very ashamed, after all, except for the outlier of the Xingtian Army, the other rebels also have the same virtue as him, who doesn't have a large number of family members in the camp! They change places in a few days, and they don't even have a nest, so they can't throw away their wives and children!

However, the Dongshan Tiger Han Fang was quite appreciative of Xiao Tianjian's methods of governing the army, and he drank a few more glasses of wine, a little gaffe, slapped the table and claimed that it was, and repeatedly said that Xiao Tianjian should do this.

This made Luo Rucai even more disliked Dongshan Tiger, and said in his heart, who are you? Why do you want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?

Since there is no woman to cheer up, then this wine is a lot less delicious for Luo Rucai and others, so a wine banquet did not last too long, with the help of wine, Xiao Tianjian ordered the wine banquet to be withdrawn, and invited Luo Rucai and others to the school to watch the Xingtianjun drill.

Luo Rucai also just wanted to see how the Xingtian Army was different from them, why the Xingtian Army could win more with less against the official army, but they often had an advantage in the upper official army, but they would still lose the battle, so Luo Rucai readily agreed.

After leaving the big tent, everyone was blown by the cold wind, and they all shivered, and after this season, the weather was already cold to death, but look at the people of the Xingtian Army outside the tent, but they were all still standing in the cold wind, maintaining a straight posture, and did not show a trace of slackness, and the cronies brought by Luo Rucai, although they tried hard to perform better, but at this time, they were all red and red, and their steps were staggering, and they couldn't stand firm at all. Where can it be compared to the soldiers of the Xingtian Army!

The troops of the Xingtian Army on the school field are still shouting in the cold wind and following the officers to practice, one by one the phalanxes with companies as the unit, constantly changing formations on the school field, marching drums are beating, and the soldiers and generals are stepping on the drums and marching neatly, the spears are like a forest, the swords are shining, and the drills are steaming, so not majestic.

On one side of the school yard, there was a row of thick wooden targets, and with the roar of the officers, the firecrackers holding their own firecrackers lined up in front of the targets in rows, and with a command, they quickly operated the firecrackers to quickly load.

"Put!" The officer gave the order.

A row of muskets immediately pulled the trigger of the self-generated firecrackers, only to hear a bean-like sound, a corner of the school field rose up a piece of gunsmoke, such a volley of muskets, so that Luo Rucai and others were excited, the strength of the wine disappeared a lot, and when they looked closely, they just saw that the row of wooden targets was suddenly hit by the firecrackers and sawdust flying around.

Before they could let out an exclamation, the second row of firecrackers stepped forward again, lowered the firecrackers on their shoulders, squinted their eyes against their shoulders and began to aim, and then with an order, the second row of firecrackers sounded again......

The faces of Luo Rucai and his generals suddenly began to change color, they didn't expect the firearms of the Xingtian Army to be so powerful, if they were facing the Xingtian Army's army now, not to mention that they were only three or four thousand people at the moment, even if they were restored to the hundreds of thousands of troops in their heyday, they would definitely be the same, and they would be beaten to the ground by the Xingtian Army, and they would not be given a chance to resist at all.

At this time, Luo Rucai completely put away the contempt for Xiao Tianjian in his heart, and he didn't dare to hold it up at all, and then thought about the proposal that the Falling Sky General gave him a few days ago, Luo Rucai couldn't help but shiver in his heart, fortunately, he was not so confused that he listened to the advice of the Fallen Heaven General, and took the opportunity to copy the back road of the Punishment Heavenly Army and lead the troops to capture the Lu family, otherwise, it is estimated that he has been wiped out by the Punishment Heavenly Army now.

After such an observation, Luo Rucai and his subordinates became much more respectful to Xiao Tianjian, and they no longer dared to show a little madness, and praised the Xingtianjun again and again for being really powerful.

"Huh! It's average! This is just a battalion under my command, and there are more than a dozen of the same battalions as this battalion under Xiao's command, but they are temporarily stationed everywhere at the moment, and I won't see them today! It just so happens that our cavalry battalion and artillery battalion have also returned with me, are you still interested in going to see Xiao's cavalry battalion brothers drilling? Xiao Tianjian said to Luo Rucai and the others with a modest expression on his face.

After hearing this, Luo Rucai felt a chill in his heart, these Xingtian Army troops they saw just now, he originally thought that he was already the most elite soldiers under Xiao Tianjian, but listening to Xiao Tianjian's meaning, this is just a battalion among his many soldiers and horses, so calculated, Xiao Tianjian's such elite generals are not so many people at all, at least there are more than 20,000 people, and he actually has a special cavalry team and artillery team, so that the combat power of the Xingtian Army is quite terrifying, no wonder he can fight a place, Occupy a place, and the government can only watch the defeat of one battle after another, but it cannot recover these lost territories.

No matter what Luo Rucai thought, Xiao Tianjian still took them to the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion station in the east of Lushi County, as soon as he entered the artillery camp, Luo Rucai saw that in the open space, there were more than 20 shiny black cannons that had been wiped down, and hundreds of gunners of the Xingtian Army were surrounding these cannons, practicing in full swing according to various orders, repeatedly pushing the cannon, aiming, filling the simulated ammunition into the cannon chamber, simulating the cannon, taking out the simulated ammunition, clearing the chamber, and repeating the action again, Everyone was nervous, orderly, and methodically carrying out the actions they were supposed to do.

Not far away, in the big clearing, there are nearly a thousand healthy horses under the control of the riders, in the repeated rush training, one by one cavalry lightning galloping across the school field, with the spear in their hand or the saber repeatedly against the wooden stakes in the open space to carry out the action of slashing and assassinating.

This scene of the full horses made Luo Rucai and others all shocked, the lack of horses in the righteous army is a common thing, but there are so many healthy horses on the side of the Xingtian Army, and at a glance, you can know that most of the healthy horses are from outside the Guan, and more of the war horses are still marked by the official army, and the discerning person will know at a glance that this is the unique brand of the war horses of the Guanning Army, and they can also imagine where the war horses of the Xingtian Army come from.

They just heard that Cao Wenyao and Zu Kuanzu Dale and other fierce generals from the Guanning Army were defeated by the Xingtian Army, and they were a little unbelievable, but after seeing these war horses and cavalry with an accent outside the Guan, they no longer had any doubts.

Luo Rucai was originally a little ambitious, but after watching the performance of the generals under Xiao Tianjian's command today, he suddenly became a little disheartened. Look at the people's punishment army, it's really better than people, and the goods should be thrown away! Even if he leads these brothers to continue to fight in the future, can it be even greater than the achievements of the Xingtian Army in the future? At this point, Luo Rucai had already been thrown out of the clouds, and he couldn't help but start to be a little discouraged, instead of suffering like that, why don't you follow Xiao Tianjian to get a background?

Looking at Xiao Tianjian's performance, he can also see that Xiao Tianjian is a very ambitious person, with so many elite soldiers under his command, the officers and soldiers have become local chickens and dogs compared to them, not to mention their rebels, and he also saw Xiao Tianjian's heart for him from the banquet just now, although he didn't say it explicitly, but secretly he still showed something.
