Chapter 85: Entering the Barracks
After a lot of rushing, he failed to meet Shen Zhao, and Li Boyu knew that the guy was deliberately avoiding him. It's better to beg for others than for yourself, he simply didn't do anything and went directly to the barracks.
With the emperor's will in his body, he is not afraid that he will not be able to enter. Since the emperor regarded sending troops and generals as child's play, how could he stick to the rules.
Li Boyu walked to the door of the barracks, and with a little touch, the soldiers knew each other very well. Fortunately, stunned young people like Shen Zhao were a minority after all, and the little soldiers went in to report, and after a while, two people flew out of it. Both of these people are five short statures and are dressed in hob meat. With a sigh, the two shook their armor and saluted.
The older one stepped forward first and said, "The last general commands the forbidden army to make Yu Mao." ”
"The deputy commander of the forbidden army at the end of the general, Zheng Tong."
Yu Mao, the commander of the forbidden army, and Zheng Tong, the deputy commander, all ran to the gate of the camp to greet them, which directly broke Li Boyu's previous perception of military generals. For these two self-reported people, Li Boyu didn't know him at all, because he didn't pay attention to these things before.
This Li Mao looked like a big man, and he wanted to learn from the literati to speak, so he said: "Lord Commander, congratulations." ”
"Oh, why did Lord Yu say that?"
"You see that you were directly named the commander of the army, which is an honor that ordinary people do not have."
Zheng Tong also came over and said, "Congratulations, sir, on your ascension—"
"Alright, take me inside."
Li Boyu interrupted them, and said in his heart that there was nothing to congratulate on going to the battlefield, maybe they all had their lives to go or not to return.
"Please."
Under the guidance of Yu Mao and Zheng Tong, Li Boyu walked around the barracks and felt that it was not as big as he imagined. The soldiers were all bows, crossbows, knives and guns, and they didn't stand up, and they were very idle, so they almost wore their hats.
Li Boyu was a little disappointed, although he knew that in the era of cold weapons, it would not be easy to equip these things completely.
"Lord Yu, the 50,000 elite soldiers that the emperor asked me to lead are all here?"
Zheng Tong took out a pamphlet from his bosom and looked at it, and replied: "According to the documents of the Privy Council, 20,000 cavalry of the forbidden army will be allocated, and 30,000 infantry of the Western Army will go directly to the destination from the west to join you. ”
"Oh."
Li Boyu suddenly realized that his mind was now blank for what would happen three days later. Having never experienced it, coupled with his lack of knowledge, he had no confidence to lead his troops to war.
Later, I visited the armory and finally got to know the bow and crossbow. Li Boyu wanted to draw a bow and shoot arrows and try his skills, but he hesitated, because he hadn't practiced these for a long time, and he was afraid that if he missed, the two people on the side would see the joke.
"Lord Yu, Lord Zheng, you two pull your bows and show me."
Yu Mao was unequivocal, picked up a bow with his hands, put on the bow and arrow, squeaked away, and the bow and arrow flew out with a whistling. It seems that this guy's horizontal flesh is not long for nothing.
"Okay, Lord Yu's arm strength is outstanding."
"No, when the last general is young, he can draw a bow of 400 catties."
Yu Mao's words reveal the pride of the year, no matter how hard this guy is, fortunately, he is full of self-confidence.
Subsequently, Zheng Tong also tried his skills and was not in vain as a deputy commander.
After walking around, Li Boyu felt that it was not interesting. He was just about to leave when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a person in the distance on the Teach Army Field, picking stone locks. Familiar to him, he walked over.
……
"Vice Shen has all the strength, hey, look at this tendon meat, it is estimated that there is a thousand eight hundred catties of strength."
Li Boyu couldn't help but tease Shen Zhao when he saw Shen Zhao's shirt ** picking the stone lock there.
Shen Zhao threw down the stone lock, wiped his sweat, and glanced at the person who had mocked him.
"What? Li Dutong, also want to show his hand? ”
"No, no, I don't have the strength of Shen Jiaotou."
The two of you say a word, and I say a word, and there is unconvincing in the words. Especially Shen Zhao, his arrogance became more and more arrogant. Going to the battlefield with such a partner who is secretly competing with himself is the rhythm of looking for death, and Li Boyu is bitter in his heart.
Yu Mao listened on the sidelines, only when they were polite to each other. At this time, a small soldier ran over in a panic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince of Chu, the little prince, the prince of Tubo, etc., are here."
This sentence was not only shocking to Yu Mao and Zheng Tong, but even Li Boyu and Shen Zhao were also surprised, and everyone went to the camp gate to greet them.
If you want to say that the little prince Zhao Yan and the prince of Tubo Zhao Huaide came over, it makes sense, but I don't know what kind of excitement Zhao Qi, the king of Chu, came over?
After a polite courtesy, Li Boyu helped the king of Chu to walk to the barracks. He didn't deliberately want to offer affection, but when he saluted, he was held by the demon King Chu, and he started to do the work of a subordinate.
"Yo, Uncle Li, you have been the commander of the capital, shouldn't you thank this prince?"
"That's, that's, it's all up to the blessings of the prince of Chu."
Li Boyu smiled on his face, but he complained bitterly in his heart. I don't know why, looking at Zhao Qi, who is more enchanting than ordinary women, he has goosebumps all over his body.
Zhao Qi's status is the highest in this group of people, and he naturally enjoys the treatment of the stars holding the moon. Even the little prince Zhao Yan was covered by him, but that guy has always looked like an expert today.
Because the current deputy envoy of the Privy Council is not idle, with Zhao Huaide's side blowing warm wind all the time, Li Boyu has no chance to pour cold water on him.
"The weather is so nice today, this king has decided to see your strength. After all, this battlefield is not child's play, any skills will be revealed, so that the king can wait for good news in the rear. ”
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he winked at Li Boyu. Li Boyu trembled all over, and he lined up. Three days later, he should be considered the second-in-command in the army. Look at the number one Zhao Yan looked full of confidence, he also gave himself strong courage and confidence. Because the matter has come to this, I can only cheer up and rush forward. After all, morale in the army is also very important.
……
In response to the meaning of the king of Chu, the teaching army has already opened a formation. Shen Zhao was the first to jump out and perform. Draw the bow and release the arrows, swords, guns, shields, and halberds are all in the line. The onlookers applauded warmly from time to time, and Li Boyu was no exception, and Shen Zhao in his eyes was really a qualified soldier.
Later, some soldiers in the army came out to dance with knives and guns, and all of them would lose their efforts. Just as Li Boyu was watching with relish, the King of Chu next to him pulled his sleeve.
"Lord, what do you command?"
"I have heard that Li Dutong is strong in martial arts, and this king wants to learn from you."
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he stood up and waved his hand to signal the soldiers on the field to go down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now Li and I will practice swordsmanship in unison."
This Zhao Qi sword is in his hand, and it is still a little meaningful, not as weak and boneless as it seems. He danced his sword, and he looked very presentable. Li Boyu fought with him hard, of course, he could only play some good-looking and non-aggressive tricks.
came and went, Zhao Qi on the field laughed constantly, and he was very proud of his ability. As a result, the two of them were sweating, and they hadn't decided the winner yet. Li Boyu wanted to give Zhao Qi a cheap advantage, but the mud couldn't support the wall at all, and the sword dance was more like singing on the stage.
Li Bo Bird made a difficulty, he wouldn't trip himself up, right? In that case, he is not at ease, because Zhao Qi's two subordinates are not sure of their heads, and he is really afraid of being injured by mistake.
