Chapter 118: Departure

(The second watch arrives, the brothers who didn't vote for the red vote lose a few votes!) That's a big chapter of nearly 5,000 words! Come on! )

After the recruits entered the village, it was still the old rule, and a group of people without exception were driven into the stream in the ravine first, and they were first scrubbed and cleaned, and all their previous tattered clothes were taken away, and handed over to some women in the cottage to be carefully cleaned and sewn, and returned to them, so that they were all much cleaner.

And they killed a lot of enemies in this battle, and when they cleaned the battlefield, they naturally took back the materials as much as possible in line with the principle of never wasting them, and even did not let go of the clothes and shoes of the enemy's dead, and they all took them off, so that the women could clean them, sew them up, and put them into storage for later use.

The work of washing clothes alone has kept Master Jin busy, originally there were very few women in their village, and they had to do so much work at once, it was really too busy, and the men had other things to do, so they couldn't help at all.

So Xiao Tianjian gave Jin Fuzi an idea, asking him to take out some food, make cakes, recruit some women outside the mountain, temporarily help the village clean and sew these bloodstained clothes, and exchange labor for some food to subsidize their lives.

This time can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem of lack of manpower, the women among the homeless people outside the mountain heard that they could help the Xingtianjun clean and repair clothes in exchange for food, so they flocked to the work, took over the work, and soon completed the work, washed and sewed the seized clothes and shoes, and returned them to the Xingtianjun.

According to Xiao Tianjian's words, this is remuneration according to work, even if he has money and food, it is impossible for him to feed so many people every day, and people have to use their own hands in exchange for the right to survive, even if he is a prisoner, there is no lunch that can be eaten for nothing!

Although the old clothes have been washed and sewn, the blood stains on them are not easy to wash off, and many clothes still have spots of dark red blood, but even so, these clothes are already rare for these recruits who lack clothes and wear less, at least now the big guys have shoes and don't have to walk barefoot.

A team of soldiers lined up neatly on the school field, everyone had leggings, a wide-brimmed felt hat on their heads, and each person also carried a coarse cloth cloak, but now because the weather is too hot, these soldiers rolled up the cloak according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, and the folding workers carried it neatly on their backs. For the first time, he brought iron helmets, which were also obtained from the officers and soldiers in this war, and now they are all equipped by Xiao Tianjian to his subordinates, so that the personal protection ability of the elite soldiers and generals has reached a new level.

Because the number of soldiers is nearly 500 people, after this battle, Xiao Tianjian's command only has suona and waist drums, but it still can't fully achieve the effect of effective command of his subordinates, especially when pursuing or retreating, it is easy to have new problems, and the subordinates of the officers of various departments are easy to mix together, so that the soldiers can't find the generals, and the soldiers can't find the soldiers.

Therefore, on the basis of the original, Xiao Tianjian ordered a small number of women in the village to make some new flags and distribute them to each company and platoon, so that each company and platoon had its own flag, so that his subordinates only needed to look at the flags of their own teams, and they could quickly assemble together according to the establishment.

It's just that the specifications of these flags are one size smaller than their Xingtian flags, so as not to cause confusion, and each company and each platoon has a flag bearer, who follows the officers closely, and this matter is handed over to the escorts of these officers, and each squad leader has a small back flag, which is directly carried behind the squad leader and is listed in the center of the squad team, so that the sergeants and soldiers of the army can easily see where their commander is in wartime.

In this way, after hundreds of people lined up, although they were still in shabby clothes, their momentum seemed much more powerful, and there were a lot of flags between the spears standing neatly in the sky, and these flags were displayed in the wind, and it seemed that the phalanx of the Xingtian Army had been cleaned up a lot, and there was no longer the appearance of a rabble!

And behind the battle team, there are three hundred new recruits, this group of people has just been recruited into the army, this queue is naturally far inferior to the front of the soldiers, but the spirit is very excited, like the Xingtian Army, they are still the first time in their lives to see, from the beginning of entering the cottage, everything here makes them feel novel, everyone is in order, there is no chaos at all, everyone is busy with their own things, what to do and what to do, the soldiers on the school field are under the leadership of their respective officers, Shouting what the earth-shattering drill is ongoing, from time to time someone will be picked up and slipped out to beat the military stick.

After the beating, they stood up and asked loudly for instructions and returned to the team, as if they were fine, and they didn't see any dissatisfaction with this, but the people who were beaten still had a look of shame on their faces, and they practiced a lot harder after returning to the team.

Even those soldiers who did not practice on the school field were nervously busy with the things at hand, and no one had the leisure to get together to chat and chat, and there was an orderly scene everywhere, which surprised these newly recruited recruits one by one, and their hearts were much more stable.

In line with the principle of not raising hungry soldiers, as long as the people who join the army, the food supply will ensure sufficient supply, which has become the tradition of the Xingtian Army, from the beginning of their foothold, it has been implemented, the reason why the officers and soldiers of the court and many righteous troops have poor combat effectiveness, in addition to various other reasons, for the generals either can not support their own soldiers, or they will deduct food and salary, so that the soldiers are always in a state of semi-starvation, if such soldiers can still be trained into strong soldiers, it is really hell.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian has never been stingy in supplying the food of his subordinates, and he dare not say that he is open to let them eat meat, but at least meat is common, and the big biscuit food makes everyone full.

When they heard the sound of the assembly call, a group of soldiers and recruits rushed to the school field under the leadership of their respective officers, and soon lined up in a phalanx, waiting for Xiao Tianjian's orders one by one.

There was a tall flagpole erected in front of the school field, and the Xingtian Army flag hanging high above it spread along with the mountain wind hunting, and everyone felt a kind of solemnity, silently watching their Xingtian banner.

With the sound of horses' hooves, everyone saw Xiao Tianjian wearing iron armor and riding a maroon war horse, slowly walked to the front of the team, pulled the reins under the flagpole, and with a flick of the horse's head, the war horse turned around to face all his subordinates.

After nearly half a year of continuous conquest and tempering, Xiao Tianjian's military temperament on his body has become much more obvious, and the lines on his face have become more rigid, coupled with his deliberately grown short beard, which makes him look more upright and tough like a pine, and his eyes are also very sharp, riding on the back of his war horse, it looks majestic, and everyone can't help but secretly shout hello.

He simply stood towards it, and naturally attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him with eager eyes, waiting for his words.

Xiao Tianjian is very satisfied with his appearance today, riding on a war horse to give a lecture to his subordinates, it feels really good, he can let his subordinates really feel his majesty, if it is changed in the future generations, he will feel that he is a bit of a villain, but he believes that here, no one will think like this, so he will come to such a stylish appearance, put on a full score, and make a high-profile appearance.

After glancing at the team of nearly 1,000 people in front of him, Xiao Tianjian was very satisfied, everyone was firmly attracted by his appearance posture, and many people still had a fanatical gaze in their eyes, obviously in their minds, he Xiao Tianjian has become their idol, the entire school field, except for the war horses of Shi Ran's scout team lined up on the right side, there was no other sound, it seemed very quiet, only heard the sound of hunting and showing the wind blowing the battle flag, Xiao Tianjian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had achieved his goal.

"Brethren!" After Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath, he sat on the back of the horse and shouted to the subordinates in front of him.

All the soldiers instinctively made a standard upright movement, knocked their heels, stood more straight, and raised their chests as much as possible, because they knew that Xiao Tianjian was going to lecture next, so they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Brethren! Today I have gathered you together to tell you, today! I'm going to take you to do something big!

Li Fengtian, the old man of Lijiazhuang, is rich and unkind, rampant in the township, oppresses the people, and kills my brother! Commit my Heavenly Army! If this revenge is not avenged, how can our Heavenly Army gain a foothold in this world?

The reason why I, Xiao, rose up because the court was incompetent, the government was unreasonable, and the rich were rampant in the township, forcing us poor people to the point where we could not make a living! If we don't do this, we will only have a dead end, so we can only split a life and death path with our own hands, and there is no other choice!

I Xiao don't know how to make you bloody men follow me, Xiao feels a heavy burden for this, and I don't dare to slack off all day long! I just want to take you and others to create a world of our own in this troubled world! To survive in this troubled world!

Since everyone believes in me, then I can only go down with my brothers, and from now on, let the world know that whoever commits my punishment to the heavenly army, no matter who it is, must pay a heavy price! Let them know that we can't be provoked!

Although our Xingtian Army is still at the beginning of its creation, I can't give you more than limited things! But I Xiao Tianjian believes that as long as our brothers work together, we can make a profit, I don't dare to guarantee that all of you can live with me, but I can assure you that as long as you follow me Xiao Tianjian, every day you are alive, you can live with dignity, and you will not be like before, wandering like wild dogs, being looked down upon, being slaughtered and bullied!

Although I can't give you much now, I can take you to the landlords and gentry who are unkind to the rich! There is a way that there are no guns and no cannons, the enemy makes it for us, there is no food and no clothing, and the enemy sends us forward! As long as you dare to do it, then there is no place we dare not go.

And today, we are going to go to the old Wang Ba of Lijiazhuang and get back what they owe us!

What is the slogan of our Heavenly Army? Tell me loud! Xiao Tianjian sat on horseback and impassionedly shouted to everyone in front of him, as a person of later generations, he knows the importance of pre-war mobilization better than anyone else, and every successful person can be said to be a genius of speech, a good speech, enough to mobilize people's enthusiasm, and as a leader, he must learn to demagogue, this is also the experience he summed up after coming here, so every time he is at the right time, he will make a speech to his subordinates, Gradually, now he feels that his oratorical level has improved greatly.

When they heard Xiao Tianjian shouting and asking them, these soldiers who were standing at the forefront immediately raised their arms together, raised the weapons in their hands and roared in unison: "Xingtian Dance is a good thing, and the fierce will is always there!" The Xingtian Army will never say never! The Xingtian Army will never admit defeat! ……”

Even the soldiers standing at the back of the line shouted together at this time, and even the recruits who had just been recruited into the village couldn't help but raise their arms and shout along with them.

Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath again, listening to the roar like rolling thunder in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little blood boiling, and after listening to these people roaring for a long time, he opened his right hand and slowly raised it.

Seeing Xiao Tianjian raise his right hand, these soldiers who had already roared red and blood-boiling slowly closed their mouths and gradually quieted down.

That Gao Cheng also stood at the back of the team in the baggage team, clearly heard Xiao Tianjian's speech, and was also excited to be excited, when he saw the person in front of him yelling, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and he couldn't help the agitation in his heart anymore, and he also jumped high and yelled, I don't know when, he suddenly felt blurred in front of him, and tears soaked in his eyes, covering his vision, but he was still yelling with everyone, letting the tears flow wantonly.

He still doesn't quite understand every word Xiao Tianjian said, but he knows that from now on, he will also become a member of the Xingtianjun, and will never wander around with his younger brother again, and he will also work for the Xingtianjun from now on, but he is willing to do so, because he has no choice, since their father and mother died, there is no home, a year later, he took his younger brother to taste the suffering of the world, and after coming here, he has a feeling of finding a home, so at this time, he, Not to mention letting him follow the soldiers to the battlefield, even if he was given a knife and let him rush to the front, he would not hesitate to do it.

It wasn't until someone pulled his sleeve that Gao Cheng found that he was the only one left on the school field still shouting in a dumb voice, and everyone else had stopped yelling, so he quickly wiped the tears on his face and quickly closed his mouth.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Tianjian's mouth, what he wanted was such an effect, these people had been completely mobilized by him, so he could take them to battle next.

"Good! You've all remembered! Our Heavenly Army will never give up! Now it's all there! Listen to me! Target Lijiazhuang! Let's go! Xiao Tianjian spoke up again.

"Kill!" When the soldiers heard this, they raised their arms again and shouted, and a forest of guns immediately rose again on the school field, and the sharpened tips of the guns flashed a little cold under the sun.

Shi Ran flicked his horse's head, and immediately ordered the scouts under him: "The scout team listens to the order!" Launched! Let's go! ”

After hearing this, dozens of scouts gave orders in unison, turned over and jumped on their horses, and with a flick of their horses' heads, they followed Shi Ran and rushed out towards the mountain gate, raising a cloud of dust behind them.

"It's all in a row! Turn left! Walk in unison...... Walk! Let's go! Yan Chongxi turned back, facing the generals under the command of his company, and with a wave of his hand, these sword players and musketeers collectively turned left, bypassed the phalanx, and strode away from the school field and walked towards the mountain gate.

"Two consecutive orders! Departure ......"

"Three in a row! Departure ......"

Under the leadership of their respective company commanders, groups of soldiers turned to the left one after another, and groups of soldiers strode towards the mountain gate.
