Because most of the archers are newcomers, only the officers have some combat experience, so when they rotate out, they are generally rationed about three times the normal size, and if they need a flag team, they will send a bureau of archers, and if they need a team, they will send a flag team.

Sun Yao's flag team, halfway met a group of blind, the number of people is also nearly a hundred, the horse thief cavalry is very fierce, far away first came back to ride horses around the circle, shouting and roaring, used to intimidate the convoy, and then staggered galloping, shooting arrows in front of the convoy, and then charging.

Of course, these horse thieves suffered a shameful defeat, and more than thirty muskets were fired, and more than twenty horses were knocked over in one round, and the rest were frightened and ran away, and when they tried again, only a few horses were overturned, and all the horse thieves ran away.

Zhang Ziming stepped forward to watch, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

There were still a lot of arrows attached to the body, and Zhang Ziming felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Lao He, the accountant of his firm and Yusheng, came over, pulled out an arrow, looked at it, and said to Sun Yao: "Be more careful on the way back, it's best to take a detour." ”

Sun Yao said in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lao He said: "This arrow is a Tartar type of arrow, not a horse thief or a herdsman himself polished, this kind of arrow is made into tens of thousands, the way of grinding is the same, you see the iron head of this arrow, the method of grinding is almost the same, if it is a horse thief's arrow, eight out of ten arrows are different." I ask you, have their dead men been taken away and fled without abandoning them? ”

"Yes." Sun Yao said very calmly: "There are many of them, we only hid behind the car formation and shot them, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack." ”

A flag team, if it is all veterans, it may as well go out to chase and kill, but Sun Yao knows that his subordinates are all rookies who have just entered the battlefield, and it is not easy to send the bird gun steadily behind the car formation.

"I see." Sun Yao understood the principle of "listen to people's persuasion and eat well", nodded gratefully at the moment, and said: "Is my brother a member of the intelligence team, or a person from the field?" ”

He Yusheng has professional intelligence officers, and the specific personnel allocation and work process are not to be said to outsiders, even to people inside themselves, and Sun Yao has some regrets after he said it.

Sun Yao was a little speechless, but fortunately, Lao He didn't care, smiled, glanced at Zhang Ziming, who was a little stunned, and said: "The field service, the intelligence group, are all working for our adults and the proprietor. ”

"Yes, I lost my word."

Lao He said: "The situation has changed, we will try our best to send the news back, before the proprietor reacts, you have to be careful about these things." When you go out, meritorious service comes second, and life comes first. ”

"Yes, in the lower province."

When the two of them spoke, no one dared to interject, and then someone rode to the door of the trading house, and there were no bluestone slabs on the road, but there were more people walking, and the flattened dirt road was tamped with stone grinders, and the horses' hooves trampled on it, making a dull sound.

"Good, there's a flag team here!"

The man shouted from afar, then took out a bronze waist tag from his bosom and said loudly: "Urgent mission, who is the flag captain, now recruit your flag team!" ”

Sun Yao strode forward and took the bronze medal from Li Shouxin's hand for inspection.

The left side of the front of the bronze medal is engraved with the words "Archer Hundred Chiefs", the right side is written as the second bureau of the second division, and the back is written with the words "body and name", which is smaller and more detailed.

On the battlefield, the archers looked at the commander, in addition to the flag, there were also badges, swords, and obvious markings on the other side of the chest.

Sun Yao's robe was embroidered with an obvious military flag on the left chest, so that everyone knew that he was a flag captain.

According to the military order, when there is a scuffle on the battlefield, every soldier is close to the team officer, and the team officer leads the department to obey the promotion of the flag captain, whether it is his direct boss or not, the military order cannot be questioned.

Training in mixed formations and temporary formations has been carried out, and temporary call-ups, acting on the orders of unfamiliar commanders, have been trained many times in the ranks of archers.

Sun Yao didn't see the logo on this man's chest, because the other party was wearing an ordinary robe and no military uniform, but he checked the bronze medal and knew that this was Yang Sisun, the general manager of the second bureau of the second division, and he was also an old man who followed Zhang Han very early, and he was born in Lahu.

Half of the hundred and deputy hundred presidents of the second division are from Lahu, half are dart masters and night don't collect, the same is true for the first division, the two divisions are Wang Changfu and Liang Xing, in fact, Wang Changfu has a higher prestige, after all, Sun Yao and other people are trained by Wang Changfu, but Liang Xing is closer to Zhang Han, and has made a lot of contributions on the way to Liaodong, so these two can sit on an equal footing.

Sun Yao gave a military salute and raised his head and said: "Sun Yao, the captain of the second flag team of the fourth bureau of the first division, obeys the orders of President Yang Bai. ”

"Game four?" Yang Sisun said: "It was just established, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. Bai!"

At present, there are more than 1,000 archers in full, and according to the scale of 120 people in each bureau, plus the personnel directly under the bureau, the minimum number of people in one division and four bureaus is between 550 and 650.

Previously, there were only three bureaus in the two divisions, and the fourth bureau of the first division and the second division had just been established.

"Which of you is always in the hundred?"

"Mr. Li is employed."

"Oh, Lao Li."

Li Zhiye is not born at night, does not belong to the two major groups of Lahu and Porter, and can be regarded as a force that comes from behind. Li Zhiye himself has a gentle personality and excellent martial arts, and he is also very experienced, and everyone talks about it in private, Li Zhiye is softer, otherwise he is more clever than Wang Changfu.

"Very good, Mr. Li's subordinates must be strong, you come with me."

After a few words, Yang Sisun already felt that he had been delayed for a long time, and hurriedly ordered the entire flag team to set off with him.

Sun Yao hurriedly ordered that the team of thirty-seven people should first urgently line up in a horizontal row, and then form a column.

Because it is a long-distance escort, there is also a role in exercising riding skills, everyone is assigned a war horse, after forming a column, the pre-arranged people in the team hurriedly pull the horses over, and then everyone turns over and starts to move forward at a uniform speed.

The entire flag team soon disappeared in front of Zhang Ziming's eyes, and he and his son opened their mouths wide, and they didn't know that saliva was coming out.

After half a ring, Zhang Ziming said: "Lord Zhang's subordinates, I'm afraid that the strength is far greater than that of my Ming border army." ”

Although Zhang Ziming has lived on the grassland for many years and is already half Mongolian, he speaks Mongolian very slippery, and his sons usually speak Mongolian and don't speak much Chinese, but when he mentions his homeland, he still proudly says "I am Ming".

Lao He said with a smile: "I went to Li Zhuang to turn around, how can I say it, the archers trained by our adults cost ten times more energy and silver than ordinary border troops, and they are much more than the families of the town army." With such a practice method, it is difficult not to think of elite soldiers. ”

He also mentioned that Zhang Han took the dart division for the first time to attack, and was chased by the bandits of the Zhou brothers, and at the critical moment Zhang Han held the bird and did not retreat, and fired continuously, killing the bandit leader, and finally won the victory. ”

"I see."

Zhang Ziming agreed, but his heart was strange, the movement just now was not small, I don't know what happened, but he also saw that Lao He was deliberately talking to him, and did not teach him to walk around casually to inquire, at that moment Zhang Ziming had to hold down his curiosity, and continued to ask the guys in the store and the porter of the team to work together to carry a large number of goods onto the car.

Sun Yao and others went all the way to the north, Qingcheng was not small, they went out of the north gate first, and then continued to gallop for seven or eight miles, the speed of the horse gradually raised, there were some shallow ruts and horses in the middle of the grassland, they walked along this road, and soon saw a large piece of felt bags and a large crowd.

Yang Sisun took Sun Yao and the others to the west to Lixu, and made a detour from the other side.

There were some Mongols wearing leather robes and holding short bows guarding the outside of the felt bag, and when they saw Yang Sisun, they immediately let go of the passage.

"This is where we and Yusheng's big warehouse are located, and it is also the ranch of Silver Ingot Taiji."

Yang Sisun turned his head to look at Sun Yao and his subordinates, and seeing that no one spoke up, his face showed a look of approval, and said, "The good soldiers led by Captain Sun Qi are very good. ”

Sun Yao said: "The most important thing in the army is discipline, Xie Bai always praised. ”

Zhang Chunniu almost wanted to speak just now, but when he saw the black and red military stick on the side of the horse's belly of the flag team military judge next to Sun Yao, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and he couldn't speak during the march, and kept silent, this one sounds simple, but it's actually difficult to do.

At this time, everyone heard Yang Sisun's praise, and everyone straightened their chests, even Zhang Chunniu.

"All dismount!"

Sun Yao gave the order, and the two of them took care of the horses, picked up all the horses in one place, and gathered the rest together.

Yang Sisun said: "Everyone checks the tinder jar, blows up the fire rope, and puts on the medicine and projectiles. ”

Sun Yao gave the order, and then the thirty-five people took out the guns and cleaned the pipes, and there was a uniform clattering sound.

Yang Sisun came to Yang Sisun's side with a white-faced, tall white-faced descendant, Yang Sisun whispered to him, but Sun Yao and the others also recognized that person, knowing that it was Chang Wei Chang Young Master, the cousin of the inspection adult, when he was in Li Zhuang, Chang Wei usually followed Zhang Han's side, and would also run back and forth between Xinpingbao and Li Zhuang, bringing words for Zhang Han, and also going to Xinpingbao to see the operation of various shops, and checking those accounts and mule and horse shops along the way, in the understanding of Sun Yao and others, Zhang Han intended to cultivate Chang Wei, so it was not surprising to see this Chang Young Master here.

Chang Wei and Yang Sisun said a few words, and came over to Sun Yao and the others: "Very good, everyone hurry up the medicine, there is also a flag team over there, it is the brother of the first bureau of the second division, are you from the fourth bureau, your bureau is also the deputy chief of the first bureau, today you listen to the commander of the Duoer bureau." ”

Sun Yaoli said rightly: "We are acting according to orders, no matter which bureau is the same. ”

At this time, he knew that there was not only Yang Sisun here, but also Duo'er, the hundred general manager of the second division and the first game, a total of eight hundred total and two here, it seemed that the grassland was the focus of Master Zhang's layout.
