Ma Fuji's new annex army originally had more than 2,300 people, including nearly 1,000 soldiers. Ma Fuji led half of his troops to Chilong Mountain, and in the battle of the tidal flats, the Dragon Bird Army killed more than 100 on the spot, and then pursued and killed nearly 100 people, and there were those who fled into the mountains and fell into the sea...... Nearly 700 new annexes, after this battle, less than 200 prisoners. In addition, the more than 300 people left behind in Chilong Mountain all surrendered, and finally fell to more than 500 people.

The more than 1,000 new attached troops who stayed in the Wan'an Army camp were led by two thousand households, each guarding the gate of a battalion. Originally, there was a complete camp defense, even if it encountered a musket unit, no matter how panicked, it could hold out for a while, at least until the horse should. Unexpectedly, there was an additional local snake Hong Siniang.

This battle was taken by Hong Siniang to take the initiative, why? If Ma Chengwang is the culprit of the suppression of the Sanba pirates, then Ma Fuji is the real executioner.

In the battle of the second battle in the tenth year of Xianchun, Ma Chengwang was the commander, but it was his eldest son Ma Fuji who really led the army to fight. In other words, the extermination of the Samba pirates, the burning of Lianzhu Village, and the capture and torture of Chen Mingfu, Chen Gongfa's brothers, and Hong Siniang's only son were all caused by Ma Fuji.

Hong Siniang's hatred for Ma Fuji is by no means under Ma Chengwang. After seeing Zhao Hunt's strange and terrifying weapons, Hong Siniang's confidence in the Dragon Bird Army's pacification of Ma Fuji was more than Zhao Hunt's, how could she let go of this opportunity to fall into the well, take revenge, and make contributions?

Because of the ten-year Ping pirate war in Xianchun, Ma Fuji was quite famous among the Li Fang in Qiongzhou, and when he recruited Li soldiers from Zhuli Tong, he received a lot of responses. There were nearly 300 Li soldiers in his army, and a considerable number of them came from Hongbo Litong.

Hong Siniang is the lord of Hongfan Li Tongtong, and no matter how prestigious Ren Ma Fuji is, his influence on the Li people cannot be compared with Hong Siniang. Therefore, Hong Siniang secretly infiltrated the Wan'an military camp, and under some operation, Li soldiers should respond, and the internal should be completed.

So Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou attacked head-on, and Hong Siniang secretly responded and burned the camp and broke the village. In the chaos, the new annexed army suffered many casualties, and many people took advantage of the chaos to flee, and in the end less than 700 people surrendered.

Zhao Lie screened the more than 1,200 captives, regardless of soldiers, auxiliaries, and servants, as well as Song, Han (the remnants of the former Northern Song Dynasty), and Li. Those who meet the requirements are conscripted into the army, and those who are outstanding are utilitarians, ordinary ones are soldiers, and again they are auxiliary soldiers. Those who do not meet the requirements shall be served as servants. Those who did not wish to serve as servants remained in the captive camp. Of course, you can't raise it in vain, you have to participate in the construction of the city and do coolies.

Although Zhao Hunt's Dragon Bird Army is short of people, it will not accept soldiers when they see it. These new annexed troops must go through screening, assessment, and other formalities to eliminate the inferior and retain the good. Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, but that would have been done by that army. Zhao Lie also made this decision at the suggestion of Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Shi Yang and other generals. The problem lies in the fact that after listening to the suggestions of the generals, after careful consideration, combined with the experience of later generations, he came up with a guiding principle for screening: eliminate the inferior and retain the good.

In this era, most of the general armies also dealt with the soldiers, but they basically eliminated the weak and left the strong, that is, they planted the weak and left only the strong and brave soldiers. After all, this is a war in the era of cold weapons, and the physique is not strong, let alone wielding a knife and a gun, and killing the enemy in battle, even a suit of dozens of catties of armor can't hold up. Therefore, it is unheard of for someone like Zhao Hunt to retain the good and the poor.

"Our musketeers don't need great bravery, or even strong physique, we need real soldiers who obey orders and prohibit. Those ruffians and veterans must not stay in the army! Faced with the doubts of the generals, Zhao Lie said.

"It is our duty to obey orders." This fresh mention made Jiang Fenglie's eyes light up and he praised it.

Ouyang Guanhou also nodded secretly.

Shi Yang also shouted: "That's right, our musketeers don't need to wield broadswords and heavy axes, nor do they need to wield crossbows and strong bows, no matter how strong their personal martial arts are and how strong their physique is, they are no different from babies in front of guns." Kuromaru's capture of that big guy is the best proof of this. ”

And so it was settled.

The screening of the new attached sergeants was held at the north gate of the original camp. A table was set up, and the scribe sat behind it, counting according to the military register. Each named captive must first be evaluated by a group of new annex troops who have passed the assessment. Characterized by red, white and black mud pills, red represents the purity of the person, white represents the average, and black represents the bad deeds. As long as more than half of the people throw black mud pills, they will be brushed off.

The passing personnel held washed military uniforms, bowls, alkali horns and other daily utensils, stood on the other side of the school field, and waited for half an hour. This is the first test, and if it can be passed, it proves that the person has a certain level of discipline and can proceed to the next step of the assessment. It's just that the scorching sun is scorching, and if you keep standing still, how can you endure it for some arrogant soldiers and ruffians with a short temperament?

After a few days, a lot of veterans were brushed off because they couldn't pass the assessment and military posture pass. These people thought that with their own martial arts, everywhere they went, the armies were vying for containment, but they didn't expect to be brushed down, and the fire of dissatisfaction accumulated more and more, and finally caused chaos.

This is the fourth day of screening.

The scribe just read: "Liang Ertiao, pass the preliminary examination, come up to receive the ...... of the quilt"

A thin soldier answered, and hurriedly ran over, and just stood still at the table, when a strong force came and knocked him out.

When the soldiers were in an uproar, a stout man appeared in front of the table: "Such a guy who falls down as soon as the wind blows can also pass, are you dragon sparrow army recruiting a good man or a sick man?" ”

The group below gathered together and laughed in unison, apparently in a group.

The scribe's face changed slightly, and his eyes not only slanted at the sides, but also on the east and west sides of the school yard a hundred paces away, and twenty musketeers were placed in each department for Shan suppression and deterrence. Although they also saw the situation here, they could not fight among the troops, so it seemed that it was not appropriate to use force, so they could only be vigilant and concerned.

At this time, Lao Wan, one of the members of the screening team, hurriedly walked over, pulled up Liang Ertiao, who was knocked out of his mouth and was bleeding, and said angrily to the stout man: "Liu Dahulu, don't make trouble, don't forget your current identity." ”

The stout man always carried a wine gourd because of his addiction to alcohol, and he was nicknamed Liu Dahulu, at this time he glared: "Lao Wan, you don't bluff." Identity, the identity of the master is the head of the brand, even if you go to the Song Army, you have to give an escort officer to be equal. Damn it, it's you shitty group who brushed the master down...... Lao Wan, last time the master beat you once, did you take the opportunity to retaliate......

"Fart!" Lao Wan was furious, "If Lao Tzu has a bow in his hand, see how you die!" ”

Liu Da Hulu smiled: "Lao Wan, I heard that you became a guard in the recruits, yes, very lucky, promoted." Ye is just a servant now, how is it? Can the escort officer block the servant's fist? ”

Lao Wan heard that something was wrong, and shouted while guarding: "Liu Dahulu, don't mess around!" The Dragon Sparrow Army wants pure soldiers who are orderly and stoic, and no matter how brave you are, you will not tolerate it......"

Liu Dahulu punched out, Lao Wan was one-handed, and his arm hurt and staggered back.

The new attached army Han Wei laughed and coaxed: "Liu Dahulu, you should be the screening officer, whoever can block your punch will be qualified." ”

The harmony at the bottom sounded four times: "That's how it should be!" ”

Liu Dahulu was proud, his hands on his waist, and he looked forward to being proud.

At this time, a young man's voice sounded behind him: "Can you give me a blow?" ”

Liu Dahulu looked back, lowered his head, and suddenly laughed. The young man in front of him was only fourteen or fifteen years old, at most up to his shoulders, thin and lean, his thighs were not as thick as his own arms, and he dared to say such big things.

"Whose woman's crotch are you leaking little hairy child? Grandpa can poke you to death with one hand, no, one finger can poke you to death believe it or not. "Liu Dahulu and others are naturally vulgar and vulgar.

The young man ignored Liu Dahulu's violent laughter, and said to himself: "I am Ding Xiaoqi, the escort officer of the Dragon Bird Army's junior team. Do you know why the Dragonbird Army would use a teenager like me instead of a bastard like you? ”

Although the words of this young man named Ding Xiaoqi were thorny, the identity of his escort officer still shocked Liu Dahulu, and he couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

"Because I can kill you with just one finger." Ding Xiaoqi was full of anger, and as soon as he raised his hand, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Liu Dahulu.

Bang!

The fire flashed, and the blood exploded.

Liu Dahulu stared blankly at the bloody chest, suddenly screamed, clenched his fists, and took one step, two steps, and three steps forward...... Suddenly fell, his forehead was facing Ding Xiaoyi's toes.

Ding Xiaoqi didn't bother to look at it, he blew on the muzzle, and the revolver circled twice between his fingers, and steadily inserted * into the holster. Eyes swept sharply: "If there are any more people who disobey the screening, disrupt the order, and provoke our army, this bastard will be the end!" ”

If there are hundreds of soldiers in the big school field, at this moment, it is so quiet that you can hear the needle falling.

Zhao Lie, who had just arrived in front of the school field, stopped and sighed slightly: "This little ...... Guy, it's been reborn. War is really a training exercise. ”
