Chapter 372: Raising Troops

Xuanhe is the last year name of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, in the history books, the first year of Xuanhe and the second year of Chonghe are together, and for Li Jing, it means that there is not much time left for him in the Xuanhe period. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis broken ship of the Great Song Dynasty will crash into the iceberg at any time, and in the far north, this old guy has already blown the final blow to the former grassland overlord.

In the early morning of 16 April, the entire Lijiazhuang was awakened early in the morning by the sound of war drums, and the general Li Jing would lead a large army out of Yuncheng today to attack Tianhu entrenched in the area of Bingzhou. The five armies accompanying the battalion will all go together, and the momentum is huge.

Zhenwei, Zhenwu, Jianwei, Jianwu and the Five Guards Army, totaling more than 120,000 people, appeared on the school field, Zhenwei Army commander Luan Tingyu, deputy commander Wu Song, Zhang Qing; the commander of the Zhenwu Army, Hu Yanzhuo, and the deputy commanders Liang Zhong and Luda; Jianwei Army Commander Gao Chong, Deputy Commanders Yang Zhi and Dong Ping; Lin Chong, the commander of the Jianwu Army, Xu Ning and Zhu Tong, the deputy commander of the Guards, Li Daniu, the commander of the Guards, and Hua Rong and Shi Jin, the deputy commanders, gathered on the general platform.

"This time, I went out of the northern army to exterminate Tianhu, but our army was established for the first time, and the food was sufficient but the soldiers were not proficient, and it was not as good as the Zhenwei army of the year, and it was not as good as my guard battalion, so from Yuncheng to Daimyo, the training was mainly carried out along the way, and the commanders of each road marched in five ways, a hundred miles apart, and swept the bandits along the way. Rectify local law and order, build the reputation of our northern army, and secondly, we can also train troops, and the soldiers do not see blood, how can we march and fight? Li Jing glanced at everyone.

"The order of the great general." After hearing this, the generals felt a pang in their hearts, and they all felt sad for the thieves along the way, even in the face of a large army all the way, there were more than 20,000 people, how many thieves would have to resist it, it is conceivable that from Yuncheng all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, and even after entering the state, the thieves along the way will be hit hard.

"The march of the army, the first priority is military discipline, military discipline is not strict, it is impossible to achieve victory at all, even if you can achieve victory, you can't achieve victory forever, Zhou Yuan, declare military discipline." Li Jing looked at Zhou Yuan and shouted.

"Subordinates obey." Zhou Yuan strode out, opened the hinge, and shouted loudly: "By the order of the general, the military regulations of the Northern Army are promulgated as follows, from the general to the warriors of the army, listen to and abide by them." Hearing the drum does not advance, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded; The name should not be called, the time is not enough, the deadline is not reached, the law of the division is changed, this is called a slow army, and the offender is beheaded..."

With Zhou Yuan's voice, it instantly spread throughout the entire school field, under the general's stage, dozens of soldiers with loud voices loudly announced military discipline, on the general's platform, many generals turned pale after hearing this, and their eyes showed a trace of fear, Li Jing's military regulations have seventeen forbidden laws, and there are twenty-four beheadings, the soldiers of the three armies who were beheaded were terrified, and many generals had cold sweat on their foreheads, and these people had heard of the situation of twenty-four beheadings, which was the rule set by General Han Xin, and later the generals marched and fought according to this, But there are very few who can really do twenty-four chops.

The entire school field was silent, Li Jing's military discipline system was so harsh, everyone here knew it, these twenty-four slashes would not appear above everyone's heads, everyone didn't know, but what if?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general gave the highest salary among the generals of the imperial court, the general can achieve clear punishment, the general gives the soldiers the money is not comparable to the forbidden army, but there is one thing that the general wants to tell you, charge ahead, do not retreat, do not harass the people, obey the order, violator of the order beheaded, this is the most basic requirement of the general, if anyone dares to offend, no matter who you are, the general will behead you." A cold light burst out of Li Jing's eyes, and he glanced at everyone coldly, like Luan Tingyu, these people have been following Li Jing's side for a long time, and their hearts are a little better, but people like Hua Rong, Shi Jin and others have changed their complexions.

These two people are very brave, they are not in charge of the army during this time, but they are a small soldier, carry out the most basic exercises, and the most demanding is discipline, after three months of painstaking training, the requirements of this discipline have been trained to the bones, from the initial discomfort to the current subconscious reaction, as soon as Li Jing's words came out, everyone changed color.

"Beat the drums, let's go!"

A burst of war drums sounded, the army slowly set off, in front of the Jianwei army general Gao Chong, with 3,000 elite cavalry to open the way, the leader of the army is Gao Chong, holding a golden gun, the army lined up in a neat line, from the school field. Although the horses ridden by these cavalrymen were not the same height, three thousand elite cavalry was still extremely rare in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Jianwei army will be followed by Li Jing's guards, and they will pass through Bianjing from the official road with the Jianwei army, and then cross the Yellow River to the Daimyo's mansion, and in the Beijing division, Zhao Ji will review this strong army at the head of the city.

Li Jing's guards only have five hundred war horses, all of them are short war horses, different from other elite war horses, they look extremely short and not suitable for cavalry, but as the leader of the army, Li Da Niu knows what kind of goods the five hundred cavalry he leads, charging into battle may not work, but long-term combat is difficult for other armies to do, as long as they occupy the initiative in the war, even the three thousand cavalry of the Jianwei Army are not the opponents of these five hundred elites, let alone other infantry.

Li Daniu also knew that after arriving at the Daimyo, Li Jing would replace all the 3,000 elite cavalry with this kind of Uzhumuxin war horse, and at that time, the cavalry of the Northern Army would be even stronger.

In the distant Tangyin, just when Li Jing was recruiting Tian Hu, on a small hill, in front of a newborn tomb, Yue Fei knelt there, paper money flew in front of him, and Yue Fei kowtowed respectfully.

"Master, in your eyes, Senior Brother Li is your most proud disciple, but the disciple thinks that Li Jing is a hero, a thief dressed in loyalty, and Cai Jing and others are in cahoots, and sooner or later he will cause trouble in the world. Didn't you say that your disciple's martial arts are inferior to Li Jing? The disciples will go around to learn from their masters, and one day they will surpass Li Jing, and then they will join the army, and sooner or later, I will surpass Li Jing. Yue Fei looked at the tombstone in front of him and whispered the words in his heart, which he had never dared to mention in front of Zhou Tong before.

After half a ring, Yue Fei stood up and looked at the small village under the mountain, which was the place where he was born and raised, but from today on, he will leave here to learn from his teacher, hoping to surpass Li Jing one day.
