Three years ago, the whole army of the Han army introduced the establishment of engineer battalions in each main army, and this branch of the army in the first battle of Pingnan also showed its might, and the Nanban was convinced! In addition to the huge auxiliary role in the war, it is also where they play their specialties in the training in peacetime, for example, at this time, the training ground of the general's water village covers an area of hundreds of acres, and they simulated that in addition to the various terrains in the south of the Yangtze River, it also took three months to manually dig a lake with dozens of acres of water surface, which is extremely powerful, of course, three months is not enough to rely on more than 3,000 people in the engineer battalion, and there is also the credit of the people of Xiangyang——

The west side of the lake is a row of wooden three-story high platforms, on weekdays, when the naval army recruits drill or the army practices the water nature, the military Sima or the captain is commanded on this high platform, and more is used by the army, and the recruits of the Flying Tiger Army will be trained directly in the river after a month, and then they will be transferred to Xuzhou for sea practice. After Liu Yi, Guo Jia and the generals ascended the high platform, some flag-bearers waved the red flag, which was to inform the Xuanwu Battalion that Pei Yuanshao and his subordinates could start training.

More than ten landing boats of the Flying Tiger Army were parked in the lake, the length of four or five zhang was more than one zhang wide, and it could carry twenty soldiers in wartime, a red flag was raised, Pei Yuanshao immediately ordered, and the Xuanwu Battalion soldiers and fifteen people were quickly launched on a landing boat, and they were extremely agile and slid towards the opposite shore with their oars.

"Well, Yuan Shao's Xuanwu camp is really working hard, just see that this paddle can't come out in three months." On the high platform, Xu Huang couldn't help but bow his head after seeing the movements of the Xuanwu battalion, although Long Xiang Army is the army, but he is no stranger to the art of boating, Long Xiang Army stationed in Jiangling has not relaxed the training of the basic skills of the navy for a day, and if you want to grab military merit, you have to show excellent skills, although Zhang He took advantage of Zhang Liao that day, but the previous meticulousness was convincing to everyone.

"Gongming, you don't have to be humble, I'm afraid that the dragon army of Zhenguan will not be under the Xuanwu camp with this boat manipulation technique." Liu Yi said with a smile when he heard this, he knew him very well about his subordinates, and the well-trained Xuanwu Battalion in front of him could also satisfy him, and the only regret may be that this is the landing ship known as "Chopping Waves". At the beginning, he really wanted to introduce kayaks into the landing battle, and the equipment institute also carried out many practical exercises, but until now it has not achieved great success, and many craftsmen blame themselves very much, Liu Yi of course wants to be relieved and soothed, that is not a product of this era.

"How can the minister not go all out to work for His Majesty, Your Majesty, you see that eighteen that fool can actually operate the boat......" Xu Huang first said with a straight face, and then pointed in the direction of the Xuanwu Battalion boat.

"Hahaha, you don't need to learn the water nature of the eighteenth, others will sink in the river, but he is the only one who is floating, I think the second brother here can't compare to him!" Liu Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw it, more than ten warships and more than 100 Xuanwu battalion soldiers Zhang 18 is still dazzling, Zhang 18 after middle age is getting more and more blessed, this is not that he does not exercise hard but this kind of body type, he practiced water in the Xuanwu Camp in Luoyang that day, Zhang 18 can actually lie on the water when he gets out of the water.

"What His Majesty said is that everyone in Lao Zhang's hand must bow down." As soon as Liu Yi's words came out, all the generals were in a hurry, Guan Hai said loudly on the side, I remember that a few years ago, he also said that Zhang Shiba, raising himself like a pig, is he going to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Don't look at Zhang Shiba's fat, just ask the Situ madman in the Tiger Guard Army to know that when he arrives on the battlefield, our old man is definitely as light as a swallow.

"After this battle, it's time for Eighteen to be disarmed." Liu Yi said with emotion, from the beginning of his own army to follow him, more than 20 years of conquest to establish the prestige of "thousands of people", it is time to enjoy life, maybe it is the relationship of getting older, now Liu Yi is very cherished for every old soldier, light yì will not let them take risks, originally this time was not ready to let Zhang 18 come with the army, but he was not willing to stay in Beiping even if he died.

"Your Majesty, eighteen has fought for more than twenty years, if he is allowed to go home, it is estimated that his feet should not be put anywhere." At this time, it was Hua Xiong, the commander of the Xiliang Battalion of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, who was also empathetic, the previous time he drove the old Lang Zhong who persuaded him to recuperate from the barracks, Liu Yi learned that after a thousand miles of riding alone, he rushed to the station with a hemp rope to tie Hua Xiong to apologize to Lang Zhong, and then pressed him to rest at home, taking care of him meticulously, but at that time Ziwei was not strong, it can be said to be extremely uncomfortable!

"Ziwei's words are not unreasonable, but you can't fight for a lifetime, that's Hua'an, Ziwei, you have a successor." Liu Yi said with a smile, at this time, the landing ship of the Xuanwu Battalion had reached a place about thirty zhang offshore, and five soldiers on each boat jumped into the water neatly and began to swim across, and the first person who went into the water was eight feet long and extremely strong, it was Huaxiong's eldest son Hua'an, who is now the commander of the ironclad army, and the rules of the leader of the Han army to take the lead in the attack have never changed.

"This kid is also competitive, but he is still a little tender." Hua Xiong was also smiling when he heard this, the second generation of Zhonghua An of the generals under Liu Yi can be regarded as an outstanding one, which makes Ziwei very happy, and twenty years later, it is Hua'an who assisted Liu Xin, the king of Lu, on his expedition to Europe, and the battle of the Rhine made the other party frightened, and his outstanding military exploits also made him rank in the Meritorious Pavilion with his father.

"General Hua is polite, Hua An is not worse than me back then, but my kid is a little more tender, and he has to get rid of General Koji and train him a lot, if he is disobedient, I will clean him up fiercely." Xu Huang said with a smile, his eldest son Xu Zhen is eighteen this year, and he is the eldest in the Flame Army. After graduating from the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, the teenagers in the army all started from the chief of the army, and Liu Xin was the same.

Lu Yi smiled and didn't say much, he is not a good talker, generally on such occasions except for military opinions, he will rarely hear his voice, when he first voted for Liu Yi, he was the deputy commander of the Long Xiang Army, and the relationship with Xu Huang was very good. It is said that Jun Yi was still very angry with Gongming for a while because of this incident, but in the end it was over.

After the first wave of soldiers of the Xuanwu battalion entered the water, the speed of swimming was very fast, and the third and fourth waves of soldiers were all launched with iron armor in their hands, and they were not slow to swim at all, and these were the most proficient people in the camp. When the first wave of soldiers came ashore, there were already comrades rushing up with wooden sticks, although they belonged to the same comrades, they would never show mercy at this time, this is the rule in the Han army, training must start from actual combat, it is better to be injured on the training ground than to die on the battlefield.

The soldiers who grabbed the beachhead fought with the other side, and the follow-up soldiers established a defensive line behind them, and when the third wave of soldiers landed on the shore, they immediately rushed up to reinforce, and the ironclad army was placed on the ground, and the real ironclad army would not rush up until the fifth round.

After dozens of Xuanwu battalion soldiers landed on the shore, they immediately picked up the iron armor thrown on the ground by their comrades in a neat and orderly manner and put them on, not one but two people, the speed was very fast, and the iron armor could be worn in no more than eight breaths, even the size of Zhang Eighteen was no exception! Immediately after that, they formed a battle formation and began to move forward, and the soldiers in front extended to the two flanks......

"Yuan Shao has really worked hard, so with the advantage of the ironclad army, our army can indeed establish a stable defense line after the landing, as long as the navy always maintains the passage on the water and transports reinforcements and material resources continuously, with the gradual increase in the landing speed of our army, we can gradually launch an offensive." Watching the battle on the high platform are all battlefield veterans, the appearance of the Xuanwu battalion soldiers can see the clues in a short time, and behind the tacit cooperation of those skillful movements must be countless hard work and sweat, Xu Huang couldn't help but praise after looking at it for a while.

"What General Xu said is extremely true, I am afraid that the landing battle led by Commander Pei is no less than that of my Flying Tiger Sergeant." Xu Huangzhi's words said that Yu Ban Liyi and others nodded again and again, and Xuan Lang, the commander of Jiangling Water Village, also said that he was the most proficient in water warfare outside of Ganning of the Han Army, and this statement can be said to be the highest evaluation of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion.

"Your Majesty, if Commander Pei leads the crowd to land, please let Yuanba personally take the Aolong ship to cover it, and there are fifty heavenly cannons on this ship to ensure that there is not a single Jingnan sergeant within fifty steps of the beachhead!" On the side, another tower-like man came out of the crowd and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yi and said, it is Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion of the Han Army! The Vermilion Bird Battalion is also one of the old four battalions, his prestige was established when attacking one Xiongguan after another, with the sky-bombing cannon on the Aolong ship and Li Tieniu's personal control, it will give the opponent's blocking soldiers a heavy blow when landing, in other words, this is also another sense of infantry and artillery coordination, which is more advantageous and seizes the beachhead!

"Your Majesty, and my White Tiger Battalion, after the start of the Sky Bombardment Cannon, let my Cloud Piercing Arrow go next." After Li Tieniu, Zhou Cang also rushed out to kneel down in front of Liu Yi together, and said angrily, if the blow of the sky-bombardment cannon is the surface, the White Tiger Battalion's cloud-piercing arrow is the point, and this kind of weapon that is nearly sixty steps farther than an ordinary bow and arrow is also the biggest feature of the White Tiger Battalion.

"Wait for now, the military division will make its own arrangements later!" Liu Yi raised his hand and smiled.

"First of all, Yuan Shao's Xuanwu Camp, the two of you also came to join in the fun, have you discussed?" The two of them retreated to the side when they heard this, but Xu Huang came back to his senses, usually the four guys in the old fourth camp are like wearing a pair of pants, and now the Qinglong Camp Liao is incarnated under the command of King Jinghai, and today's table Xiàn must be a joint good of the three of them.
