Chapter 22: A New Mission
Liu Heizi's camp did not have a school field, so the second brother took the brothers to move the tent and made an open space for the soldiers to perform.
At this time, there were dozens of men around the space, and they were cheering, and the second brother in the middle and Wu Shizhao each led a sentry to fight against each other, competing for the victory of the drill.
Liu Heizi, the lieutenant, had three brigades under his command, of which the A Brigade controlled by Liu Heizi himself had the largest number of more than 200 people, Wang Jiaping's B Brigade ranked second with 70 or 80 people, and the least was the second brother's C Brigade with only more than 50 people.
According to Wu Shizhao's opinion, the second brother organized more than 50 men into four sentinels, each with twelve people, which was actually a killer team of the Ming army, but it was just a change of name in the camp.
These four killer teams, plus Gao Yihuan, have a total of forty-nine people, and the remaining seven or eight people have been organized into a logistics team, which is responsible for cooking, camping and other things.
For more than a month, the second brother has been trained to look a little better by his own research and with the help of the original brothers.
Now the four sentinels are competing in the Mandarin Duck Formation, and two sentinels have been eliminated, leaving the second brother and Wu Shizhao to each lead one whistle to decide the final victory.
In the middle of the field, the second brother held a rattan card in one hand and a wooden knife in the other, shaking his body flexibly in front, constantly blocking the spears and arrows wrapped in cotton cloth from the opposite side.
His position is a very important position in the Mandarin Duck Formation, which is generally held by the small flag officer, who not only has to protect the comrades behind him, but also commands the entire small array to fight.
"Pillars, see the opportunity to stab them!" The second brother was covered in sweat, and while flexibly blocking the spears coming from the opposite side, he ordered his subordinates around him.
Zhao Zhuzi behind him, his body was very strong, holding a wooden pole without a spear head in his hand, he was murderous, he found an opportunity, and stabbed a man with a spear on the opposite side to the ground.
When the second brother was happy to see him, a wooden arrow shot at the opposite side, hitting Zhao Zhuzi.
"Mother, Huang San, you shoot Lao Tzu again." Zhao Zhuzi threw away the wooden pole angrily, left the battle group unwillingly, and walked to the crowd cheering on the periphery in frustration.
Among the four sentinels of the second brother, many of them were drawn from the wounded barracks, and some of them also had some special abilities, such as Huang San was born as an archer.
The Mandarin Duck Formation is roughly divided into three parts, the front sword and shield, the middle long soldier, and the rear shooter. Among them, the shooter originally had to use a firecracker, but the army did not produce this, even if the second brother got a bird's gun from Zhou Ronghua, there was no stable supply of gunpowder, but it would affect the battle, so it was better to use a bow and arrow.
Among the two sentinels on the field, the archers on the second brother's side were obviously not good, and the cooperation was not as good as Wu Shizhao's team, and after a while, two more people were hit and exited.
Seeing this, the second brother was anxious, and saw that the formation could not be compared, so he wanted to fight, he blocked a spear with a knife, and then gave up the defense, and grabbed it one step by step, slashed the spearman, and eliminated one person, but the brother behind him lost his protection, but was shot two people......
The competition soon ended with the victory of Wu Shizhao's team, and the eliminated man looked depressed, and Zhao Zhuzi couldn't help scolding, "Why do these turtles and grandsons always win, next time they will definitely be killed." ”
He is physically strong, and few people in the whole brigade can compare with him when it comes to fighting alone, but in the confrontation, he has few chances of winning.
At the end of the competition, the sweaty second brother immediately said: "Okay, let's go here today, and we will have dinner in the evening."
The victorious dozen or so people immediately high-fived each other, and the others dispersed a little dejectedly, but they couldn't compare with Wu Shizhao's team in the confrontation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and they didn't have no chance in other aspects of the competition.
In order to mobilize enthusiasm, the second brother of the high school set a few projects, not just the mandarin duck array.
At this time, everyone dispersed, resting everywhere, waiting for the meal, but Xinghao came back with the logistics team and the mule cart, bringing back some grain, meat, and a few cotton armors.
"Second brother, it's all changed, that's all." Gao Xinghao came to Gao Yihuan's side, he was afraid that others would hear it, so he said in a low voice: "Zhou Zhanglu said that let's not go over recently, there is not much food in the Zhongquan Battalion, and he doesn't dare to get it out anymore."
Gao Yihuan walked over and saw the things in the car, his brows furrowed, just like that, he would have to finish eating in a few days.
"Second brother, what should I do in the future?" Gao Xinghao said a little worried.
Gao Yihuan patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, I'll find a way, but it really can't work, so I sold this mule." ”
Zhou Ronghua's house has stopped, which means that the Zhongquan battalion is also running out of food, and there should be new actions in the army, Gao Yihuan can only hope to get some money and food at that time.
The second brother Gao and Gao Xinghao were standing next to the mule cart and were talking, when a Liu Heizi's personal soldier suddenly came to his side and shouted loudly from afar: "Gao Zhanglu, follow me to the tent of the commander to discuss matters."
Gao Yihuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, since the incident last time, Liu Heizi had not summoned Gao Yihuan, and suddenly called him at this time, there should be something important, most of them were on a task from above.
"Xinghao, Zhu, you come with me." Gao Yihuan immediately called the two of them, and then greeted the pro-soldier, "Brother Liu, what's the matter?" ”
The Ming army relied on his family to form his combat strength, and the thieves relied on collecting righteous sons to gather their combat strength, and Liu Heizi was only in his thirties, but he had dozens of cheap sons in the camp.
"I don't know about this, Gao Zhanglu should go and ask my father-in-law."
At that moment, Gao Yihuan followed Liu Heizi's personal soldiers and went straight to the camp, and he didn't go a distance, but found that the Wang family had brought hundreds of thin men, ranging in age from fourteen or fifteen to forty or fifty.
He took these men to the camp, ordered the soldiers to watch them, and then went to Liu Heizi's tent as well.
The two happened to meet in front of the tent, each snorted coldly, and then entered the tent one after the other, inside Liu Heizi and Liu Er, another head of the brigade, had been waiting for a long time.
Liu Heizi saw Gao Yihuan and Wang Jiaping coming in, so he stood up and didn't talk nonsense, "There is a shortage of food in the army, and the general ordered that our team will go to Shangqiu with the general." Prepare your own and set off tomorrow morning. ”
Gao Yihuan listened, and clasped his fists with Liu Er and Wang Jiaping, "Yes, obey!" ”
Not long ago, Gao Yihuan reported the news of Sun Chuanting's supervision of Shaanxi, which made the army feel a little anxious, so he was very anxious to attack Kaifeng recently, and wanted to take Kaifeng before the Ming army's counterattack, and the siege of the city should at least let the soldiers be fed, so the consumption of military food was huge, and they could only go to the distance to get food.
Gao Yihuan thought that there should be a move in the army, and he didn't want to be so fast, so the task came down.
At this time, Liu Heizi glanced at Gao Yihuan again after giving the order, squinted and said: "Gao Zhanglu, your men and horses are not complete, you can pick some people outside and make up for them, if it attacks the city one day, I will entrust you with a heavy task and cultivate you well."
Gao Yihuan's heart sank, and his mother let Lao Tzu take the lead, wanting to consume Lao Tzu.
He was slightly angry in his heart, but the official level crushed people to death, Gao Yihuan remembered the old man's words, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, bowed down to receive the order, and then withdrew from the account.
After leaving the tent, Gao Yihuan went straight to pick people, and the people who came were all emaciated masters, who were purely cannon fodder for the battle, and it was impossible to have any combat power at all.
This is really as Gao Yihuan expected before, and there is really nothing good to add, but fortunately, he pulled more than 50 people up by himself.
These people Gao Yihuan didn't want it, but in the end, he took away sixty thin men and children to make up for his own establishment.
He was going to make five more posts for these 60-odd people, all of whom should be waved and shouted, and the momentum would be strong.
The establishment was all together, and the officers were in place, although Gao Yiyi did not come back for more than a month, and there was no news, but his position Gao Yihuan still kept for him.
"Yicheng, steam more noodles today and give them a full meal." Gao Yihuan came over with the soldiers, and shouted from afar.
