"I don't know if my niece can ...... with Ding Xiaoniang Vice General Ding cooperated well...... My niece has a bit of a temper. ”

Wan'an Military City, the main hall of the temporary palace, Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Shi Yang, Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan and other generals are all present.

At this time, Ouyang Guanhou was talking about something, and his tone was a little unsteady.

Zhao Lie, who was sitting at the top, laughed when he heard this, and shook his head slightly: "Which one of the soldiers has no temper?" Can you calm people without this momentum? Don't worry, Xiao Yi, I understand, the temper is also a little rushed. But as long as you have real skills and convince her, in front of business, there will be no two words. ”

It turned out that Ouyang Luoyan was Ouyang Guanhou's niece, Ouyang Guanhou was a hero in southern Gansu, a family with guns and sticks, and his sons and nephews all practiced martial arts, no wonder Ouyang Luoyan was so skilled.

However, the reason why Zhao Lie chose Ouyang Luoyan as Ding Xiaoyi's deputy and served as the training officer of the Yanling team was not only because of this woman's good skills, but more importantly, Ouyang Luoyan's identity - she was the only female Darkclaw in the Black Crow Darkclaw Organization.

The members of the Darkclaw organization are good at assassination, infiltration, camouflage, and ambush, and they are all good materials for spies. Nearly 20 of them have joined the martial arts team and the sentry battalion, giving full play to their skills and becoming the backbone of the martial arts team and the sentry battalion.

But Ouyang Luoyan did not join the Dragon Bird Army, she had been performing various tasks of black crows in southern Gannan until this time she crossed the sea with the old man in black robe Jiang Zongjie and came to Qiongzhou. The first is to carry out the task of escorting and supervising the families of the volunteers who accompanied the ship south; The second is to see the hope of the Great Song Dynasty mentioned by my uncle in the letter - the Dragon Bird Army.

Ouyang Luoyan really fulfilled his mission, and on the way with the ship, he found out three (female) pirate spies who served Meng Yuan, which was highly appreciated by the sect leader Jiang Zongjie.

After arriving in Yacheng, Ouyang Luoyan was ordered to continue to lurk, and played an important role in screening the female dependents and camp prostitutes who were killed by the Yuan army.

When the official sent it to Ouyang Luoyan, she could hardly believe it. You must know that in the three years since she entered the black crow with her uncle, she has assassinated seven officials in various state capitals of Mengyuan and Yuan, including three civil officials above the seventh rank and two military generals with more than 100 households. disguised himself as a maid in the official mansion of the Meng Yuan general, stole all kinds of information, and made great contributions to the loyal and shun army to repeatedly defeat strong enemies. These feats were either stronger than what she was doing now, and they were more difficult and dangerous. And what she gets, in addition to material rewards, is only the promotion of status in the sect and becoming one of the leaders of the group. And other fellow disciples, even if their merits are not as good as their own, they also get various ranks, and their status is completely different.

Ouyang Luoyan occasionally has a faint resentment, but the worldly torrent, as a woman, can do nothing.

Unexpectedly, this time when he went south, he only did a few small things with very little danger and no effort, and he was awarded the rank of official and became an officer from a white body. This world is so big, there are tens of millions of women, except for those who are born in wealthy families or have husbands and sons, and those who have earned such glory by their true skills, there is only one Ding Xiaoyi and her Ouyang Luoyan!

After that, a paper order was sent to Jiang Zongjie. Jiang Zongjie found Ouyang Luoyan and asked her what she meant, if she was willing to enter the Dragon Bird Army to serve, Ouyang Luoyan agreed almost without thinking - in the world, how many people don't want to realize their self-worth? The more strange the woman, the more unwilling to lie in wait!

After Ouyang Luoyan joined the Dragon Bird Army, the first task he received was to serve as the training officer of the newly formed Yan Ling team and train the dark claw skills of Yan Ling's female soldiers.

It should be noted that this training officer does not mean "officer in charge of training", but is an official official title.

The correspondence between the military positions in the late Southern Song Dynasty and later generations is basically as follows: training officer (platoon commander), general (company commander), preparation general (non-main battalion commander), deputy general (sub-main battalion commander), general (main battalion commander), commander (regiment commander), commander (division commander), metropolitan commander (army commander), system envoy (provincial military district commander), and Xuanfu envoy (commander of a large military region).

Therefore, Ouyang Luoyan, the training officer, is equivalent to the platoon commander of later generations, and in the Yanling team, he is the deputy captain, second only to Ding Xiaoyi.

This appointment is simply tailor-made for her. So Ouyang Luoyan happily went to work, and after getting off the ship, he seized the opportunity to give Ding Xiaoyi and other female soldiers a dismount, shocked the women, and established a foothold in Yan Ling's team.

Of course, these things are not things that Zhao Lie should pay attention to. What Zhao Lie has to consider now is how many troops to mobilize to fight Qiongguan.

According to the intelligence, Qiongguan originally had a Zhongwan Household Mansion with 5,000 troops, plus about 1,000 people from the Xuanwei Division, a total of 6,000 troops. Ali Hague invaded the south and requisitioned 10,000 households in Qiongzhou to lose The Hague and 3,000 elite soldiers. There are only 3,000 soldiers and horses left in Qiongzhou, most of whom are auxiliary soldiers, and they are all weak.

If Ali Hague had been defeated at the beginning, before the Qiongguan Yuan army had time to react, the Xing Dynasty could quickly integrate its forces and move north. Even if there are only three or five thousand soldiers and horses, they can break the power of a strong enemy and fight in a city.

It's a pity that due to the persecution of the Queen Mother's party step by step, Zhao Lie, not to mention that the whole army went north, but he was not sure that he would return to the north safely. The Xing Dynasty thus lost a good opportunity to recover the entire Qiongzhou. After the Yacheng Incident, it will take several months for Zhao Lie to clean up the mess and rectify the dynasty. During this time, information from Qiongguan and all aspects of the coast flew like snowflakes: Qiongzhou Xuanfu made Long Wenxiang urgently recruit native soldiers and expand the army to 5,000; Qiongguan Prefecture City levied and issued levies to strengthen the city; Guangzhou and Leizhou urgently sent 3,000 troops into Qiongguan; The state capitals of Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road began to recruit troops and horses, and there was a movement to assemble southward; Leizhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou shipbuilding......

By the end of April, the strength of Qiongguanyuan's army was 8,000, equivalent to a 10,000-household mansion.

Eight thousand, it sounds like a lot, but Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Shi Yang, Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan and other generals analyzed it according to intelligence. These 8,000 men and horses are far inferior to Ali's army in The Hague, and even inferior to the 8,000 soldiers and horses who lost The Hague to besiege the Wan'an army at the beginning. The 8,000 troops were divided into three parts: 3,000 soldiers and horses in the original Qiongguan, 2,000 newly recruited native soldiers, and 3,000 troops newly lost in the coastal states.

Qiongguan's 3,000 soldiers and horses have low combat power, which is equivalent to 1,000 ordinary new annexed troops; The native soldiers are brave, but the language and customs are different from the Han soldiers, and it is difficult to integrate. The 3,000 soldiers and horses requisitioned along the coast are all new annexed troops used by the state capitals to defend the city, and the conscripts account for the majority, and there are not many elite soldiers, at most they are only equivalent to 1,000 ordinary new annexed troops.

Calculated in this way, the combat power of the 8,000 Yuan army is only equivalent to the 3,000 new annexed army at the bottom of the Mengyuan army sequence. It can be seen that the impact of Ali's defeat in The Hague is really not small, which makes Mengyuan's coastal forces stretched, and it is not an overnight effort to reorganize such a powerful boat division as it was at the beginning.

Eight thousand inferior soldiers, in the words of Ouyang Guanhou, are "quite a lot of rats, all of which are fed to cats".

So, how many troops does the Dragon Sparrow Army need to use to destroy these 3,000 "rats"?

The generals analyzed to the end, and they all had the bottom in their hearts. Zhao Lie was about to ask the generals to express their opinions, when Jiang Fenglie suggested that everyone write a number.

Su Jingzhan, who has the humanistic feelings of his ancestors, immediately agreed.

Zhao Lie smiled when he heard this: "Shi Yi's proposal is good, come here, pen and ink wait." ”

So each person has a pen dipped in thick ink and draws in the palm of his hand.

After counting the breaths, the six generals stretched out their left palms together.

Under the candlelight, Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, and Shi Yang all wrote: five thousand.

Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan wrote: eight thousand.

Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan were both startled and were about to open their mouths to explain.

Zhao Lie laughed: "Don't be surprised, the two of you don't need to be surprised, the habit of our Dragon Bird Army, when attacking, only the number of soldiers is remembered, except for the conscripts." Well, 5,000 soldiers plus 3,000 conscripts is exactly 8,000. I'm waiting for six people to coincide, it's 6, it's 6, it's 6, hahaha......"
