"Knock knock knock・・・・・・" As soon as the sky was bright, there were several drums in Tuoyun Fort that wanted to burst the eardrums, which was the drum beat that summoned the sergeants to gather, and after the drum was over, everyone had to assemble in front of the military platform.

Xi Yunqing and Zhao Ziliang were already standing on the point platform at this time, a strong man next to him was constantly beating drums, and there were soldiers in armor and guns rushing to the trench in the open space in front of the point platform, and the three first team leaders who came immediately stood in front of the whole team, because Zhao Ziliang was also the third group leader, but he was the deputy castle master, so he planned to replace him with the first Shi Shi chief Wei Meng to replace him with the whole team.

Previously, Tuoyun Fort had not gathered so early for a long time, and many soldiers were late, and Xi Yunqing's face was a little unsightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "The castle master doesn't have to be angry, let the soldiers be lazy for so long, and it is normal to assemble and procrastinate, as long as you insist on starting early every day in the future, and often carry out emergency assembly training, it won't be long before the soldiers will adapt!" ”

Hearing Zhao Ziliang say this, Xi Yunqing's face looked better, and he nodded and said, "I hope it's like what you said!" ”

Except for the soldiers on duty and patrolling, all the others arrived, and the first group leader, Huo Kan, the second group leader, He Zhong, and the third group deputy group leader, Wei Meng, reported the assembly to Xi Yunqing respectively.

Xi Yunqing took a few steps forward and stood still and said loudly: "Soldiers, due to the lack of food and grass, we have not had morning exercises for a long time, and the daytime drills have been greatly reduced, but now it is different, there is a civil strife in the Turgish, and some tribes have no control, and they may come to attack our Tuoyun Fort and break into the hinterland of Anxi through us to plunder, so we must resume the previous morning exercises, resume and strengthen daily drills!"

Zhao Ziliang beside me was originally the first group of the first Shi Shi chief, because he has made great contributions, he has been appointed by General Fu Meng, the town guard of Shule Town, as our deputy fort master and deputy of the team, and awarded Renyong deputy lieutenant, and concurrently served as the third group leader, from today on, he is my deputy, to assist me in handling the affairs of Tuoyun Fort! Yesterday, Deputy Fort Master Zhao brought back enough food from Shule Town to feed the soldiers, so don't shout to Lao Tzu that you are hungry and have no strength to practice in the future, and then ask Deputy Fort Master Zhao to say a few words to the big guy."

After Xi Yunqing took a few steps back, Zhao Ziliang took a few steps forward, he looked at the heads with helmets below, and said loudly: "Brothers, I can be the deputy castle master, the deputy of the team, and also be awarded the second lieutenant of Renyong, not all of my own credit, first of all, the strong recommendation of the castle master, and secondly, the use of his brothers, in the encounter with the Tuqi cavalry a few days ago, except for Zheng San, who was sent by me to protect the envoy to withdraw to the fort, all the others were killed, and I was also lucky to survive, I picked up this life, without other brothers fighting to the death, I could not have survived, that time I captured a batch of booty, I left all the war horses, this time I went to Shule Town to sell everything else, and the money obtained was carried to their families through the post station! Although this money is not much, it will not make much difference, but I hope that the relatives of those dead brothers will have a better life! The reason why I did this is not to explain anything, but I just want that if I die in battle one day, my brothers who are still alive will be able to share a part of the money from the sale of the spoils of war to my family, and do their filial piety for me!

As the saying goes, although we are not brothers, we are closer than brothers, and we will be brothers in the future, believe in our robes, and rest assured that we will give our backs to him!

Now we may be attacked by the Turgish cavalry at any time, so the brothers must be cautious, all cheer up, once the Tirsee cavalry attack, we must resist with all our might, even if all the battle is killed here, we will never let the Turgish cavalry step over the Tuoyun Fort, because behind the Tuoyun Castle is the territory of our Datang! Guarding the territory and defending the country is the sacred mission of our Datang soldiers, as long as the Tuqi Shi people dare to come, we must kill him and leave no armor behind! ”

All the soldiers in front of the stage couldn't help but look excited, and they all raised their weapons and stood up and shouted: "No piece of armor will be left!" Leave no piece of armor behind! Leave no piece of armor behind! ”

Zhao Ziliang took a few steps back, and Xi Yunqing stepped forward to give Zhao Ziliang a secret thumbs up, and said in a low voice: "Good boy, there is such a hand?" I was so excited and excited to hear it! ”

Zhao Ziliang said modestly and retreated to the side.

Next, Xi Yunqing stepped forward to arrange the drill and patrol situation, "The lord of this fort has already discussed with Deputy Fort Lord Zhao, from today onwards, the morning drill and the previous daily drill, the intensity and intensity of the drill will be increased, doubled, there is no patrol and duty team, the official must take them to the martial arts arena for drills, and remember to double the amount of drills!" The soldiers at the checkpoint at the city gate must carefully check the identity of the merchants and their goods from today onwards, and once they find suspicious people and goods, they will be seized first, and if there is resistance, they will be killed! In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the business travel from the Turgish, and it is necessary to strictly check it, do you understand? ”

Everyone yelled, "Got it! ”

"Also, from today onwards, Deputy Fort Master Zhao will take the third group out of twenty miles to camp, as a peripheral stronghold outside the fort to reconnoiter the situation of the Turks at any time, in addition to stationing outside the fort, they will also set up a beacon tower on the nearby Dagu Mountain, if a large number of cavalry is found, the beacon will be lit, the soldiers on duty on the city tower must pay attention to observe, once they find that the beacon tower on the Dagu Mountain ignites the beacon smoke, they will immediately ring the alarm, remember?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, the gangs disbanded and began to have breakfast, and after breakfast, the soldiers who were not on duty were trained under the leadership of the officer!"

After breakfast, Zhao Ziliang took the third group to carry some grain, grass and ordnance and materials, and left Tuoyun Fort, along the Irkeshtan River, out of the Tuoyun Pass, and came to the east bank of Qingshui Lake to camp. In order to facilitate the retreat at any time, all the camps were made of cowhide tents.

Before noon, Zhao Ziliang and others set up all the tents, and when it was time for lunch, Zhao Ziliang gathered the five chiefs to discuss, the first chief Wei Meng, the second chief Wang Can, the third chief Chu Ge, the fourth chief Liu Ming, and the fifth chief Li Chengdu gathered in Zhao Ziliang's tent to discuss the next matter while having lunch.

Zhao Ziliang nibbled on a steamed bun and said: "After lunch, Chu Ge, you take your people and horses to carry a few bundles of dry firewood to Dagu Mountain to set up the beacon tower, and also build a hut for the people who guard the beacon tower to live, you have eleven people, work hard to build it before dark, and leave two people to guard there when you come back, and then take turns to send two people to guard every day!" ”

Chu Ge was a very handsome man, he got up and arched his hand: "Yes, Deputy Castle Master!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Can and Liu Ming again: "Wang Can, after dinner, you take your second Shi to patrol along Qingshui Lake from the right, Liu Ming takes the fourth Shi to patrol along Qingshui Lake from the left, once you find the Tuqi cavalry, as long as there are more than 20 people, immediately send someone back to report, and at the same time monitor them, if you don't have the certainty of victory, you must not fight with them, we will have more than 50 people, and one will die and one less one, do you understand?" ”

Wang Can and Liu Ming got up and said, "Understood! ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Li Cheng again: "Without armor, sharp blades, and strong bows, the combat ability of our cavalry is still not comparable to that of the Tuqi cavalry, you take your men to cut down trees in the afternoon, and erect some grass targets and wooden stakes next to the camp, which will be used for cavalry training archery and sprinting, and must be made stronger!" ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng at the end and asked, "I heard that two of your subordinates can fish?" ”

Wei Meng was a little puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what the guy commander commands?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "We can't let the soldiers eat pancakes and steamed buns all day long, we have to find a way to get some meat, but there are no wild beasts in our vicinity, we can only find another way, I brought back two fishing nets when I came back from Shule Town, although this Qingshui Lake is a plateau lake, but there must also be fish, you let your two soldiers who can fish spend two hours a day to go to the lake to fish, to replenish the meat for the soldiers, as for the others, help Liu Ming and them go to logging today!" ”

"Yes, man!"
