Chapter 114: The White Robe Becomes an Army
The team of 100 people stood in five rows, 20 people in each row, in order of height and height, neatly arranged from front to back, horizontal and vertical lines, all with high chests and convex bellies, eyes not squinting, standing solemnly on the bluestone square, in an orderly manner.
Ma Xintian stood in the first place on the left of the first column, staring at Wang Huan standing on the stairs, his whole face was expressionless like an ice sculpture, quietly like a tree.
Everyone in the hundred-person team is like this, except for the flashing of their eyes, there is no movement, even the sound of breathing can be faintly heard, and a hundred people form a forest, and the forest is quiet and the wind does not blow.
Zubian stood beside Wang Huan, his eyes were hot, but whoever led the soldiers, at a glance, knew that this was a group of excellent soldiers, just standing still could feel a fierce and majestic wind, unlike those guards in the Ming Dynasty, the same upright always made people feel that they were strong outside.
Zu Bian glanced at Wang Huan, and it was very hard to swallow the words that he wanted to take these soldiers under his command, he knew that this group of people was personally trained by Wang Huan, that is, his own soldiers, and he must not think about it.
Wang Huan is also very satisfied, in just over a month, it is rare to be able to train a group of thin and weak people into this appearance, look at their appearance, where is there still such a cowering and timid when they first joined the army, high-intensity physical exercises and strict queue training, strengthen the physique, enhance the will, and make the sheep become wolves, although I have not seen blood, but at this moment, it seems that there is already a strong army.
"Armor!" Wang Huan broke off and echoed in the square.
From behind him, a group of miscellaneous servants holding rattan armor poured out, and according to Xu Tiezhu's command, they rushed to the hundred-man sergeant standing still, and moved together to tie the rattan armor to the sergeants.
Xu Tiezhu personally held a set of rattan armor exuding the fragrance of tung oil, came to Wang Huan's side, and asked respectfully, "My lord, can you also put it on?" ”
Wang Huan nodded, and Xu Tiezhu tied a set of seven rattan armors to his body one by one.
Ma Chongming's eyes widened, he looked at the hall in disbelief, and then at Wang Huan, showing an incomprehensible look, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and finally he couldn't help it, and said loudly: "My lord, this, there is a sentence I don't know if to say?" ”
Wang Huan lowered his head and tied the belt on the armor, and said without raising his head: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
Ma Chongming said in a sullen voice: "Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers, passers-by know that this rattan armor has long been regarded as a useless thing, and it will catch fire when it encounters fire, why do adults still use it?" Adults know the past and the present, so they don't know this paragraph of the Three Kingdoms, right? ”
Before Wang Huan could make a sound, Xu Tiezhu poked his head out from under Wang Huan's armpit and said with a smile: "Horse-headed man, you can take a good look, adults have their own tricks, prevent fire attacks." ”
He tied the strap of the last piece of skirt armor on Wang Huan's body a few times, and took out a white thing from behind.
Ma Chongming stretched out his head to see that it was actually a big white robe, Xu Tiezhu covered it on Wang Huan's body, covered the armor of the whole body tightly, and tied it around his waist with a cowhide belt, and there was a copper buckle on the belt to hang weapons.
The soldiers standing in the square also wore such a white robe, with a belt around their waists, and the whole queue was covered with white robes, which added a kind of handsome temperament.
"Do you recognize this cloth?" Wang Huan asked with a smile.
Ma Chongming touched the corner of Wang Huan's robe with his hand, only to feel that the feel was a little rough, as if it was spun with some thicker thread, not much like hemp or cotton, and shook his head blankly.
"This is a fire cloth, it can't catch fire in the event of a fire, and no matter how big the fire is, it can't ignite this cloth." Wang Huan flicked the white robe and said leisurely: "Therefore, the inner layer of rattan armor and the outer cloth robe can prevent knives and arrows, and it can also be fireproof and burn oil, which is foolproof." ”
Ma Chongming was stunned when he heard this, and shouted in a lost voice: "Fire Huanbu? It turned out to be a fire raccoon cloth! Legend has it that this thing was originally introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, and it was a fire-avoiding artifact, but it was lost hundreds of years ago, where did the adults get it? ”
"It's nothing, I produce fire cloth in the mountains of Wanshou Valley, and I got a few spinning machines and made them." Wang Huanyun said lightly, as if this was not a big deal.
"Something made by a grown-up?" Ma Chongming's small eyes widened more and more, full of disbelief: "I have it in the mountains of Wanshou Valley?" My lord, are you lying to me? ”
Zu Bian's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "Horse-headed man, be cautious!" How could an adult lie to you? ”
Xu Tiezhu said with a smile: "Matou people, my lord didn't lie to you, this fire cloth is indeed an asbestos mine taken from the mountains by Lord Wang, and it is spun, but I am only shallow in learning, where can I think of it." ”
Ma Chongming believed it suspiciously, but his mind was flexible, his mind was full of business, his little eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of something, his face immediately turned happy, and he said happily: "My lord, I ......"
Wang Huan: "No! ”
Ma Chongming was stunned: "My lord, I haven't said it yet." ”
Wang Huan glanced at him, and said in a flash: "Huohuan cloth is a secret of my longevity city, and it is not allowed to sell it for profit, and the violator will be killed!" ”
Ma Chongming suddenly fell like a deflated ball, looked at the white fire cloth in his eyes, and muttered to himself that he didn't know what to say.
Wang Huan shouted loudly again: "Give weapons!" ”
Xu Tiezhu's miscellaneous servants poured out again, and hung a mountain-destroying crossbow and quiver on the belt around the waist of the soldiers, the mountain-destroying crossbow did not grow up, it was very suitable to hang on the waist, and the quiver was not big, because the bow of the mountain-destroying crossbow was only eight inches long, and a quiver was enough to hold many bows and arrows.
Another group of miscellaneous servants stepped forward, this time they were carrying a long spear, the spear is different from the general Ming official weapon, it is an ash rod to make the body of the gun, up to three zhang, there are iron tools at both ends, the upward end, the tip of the gun is two feet long, and there is a curved bladed iron hook in the middle, similar to the shape of a hook sickle, and the downward end is a heavy hollow iron ring.
The soldiers took the spears, held the spears in their right hands, put their left hands on the mountain-destroying crossbow at their waists, spread their feet, and wore white robes, and their heroic spirit jumped on the ranks.
Wang Huan did not hold a spear, but was equipped with a long sword, and the ancestors were also dressed in rattan armor and white robes, and the two of them stood on the ladder, one was heroic and the other was majestic, and Xu Tiezhu and others were envious.
Wang Huan took a step forward and said aloud to the hundred-man team standing at the foot of the steps: "Ladies and gentlemen, in troubled times, the people are not living, the court is weak, there are thieves, there are Tartars invade our land outside, and there are rebels and thieves who mess with our dynasty, and the people of the world are suffering from hunger and cold, and they are miserable, but when you enter my Longevity Valley, can you eat enough and dress warmly?" ”
"Eat well and dress warmly!" Hundreds of people replied in unison, and the sound was like thunder.
"What about your family? Are they doing well? Wang Huan roared.
"Well done!"
Ma Xintian in the queue slammed the spear in his hand, knocked the iron ring on the ground, and a dragon's roar sounded, and he shouted loudly: "What is the place where you can live and work in peace and contentment?" Who fed and clothed you? ”
"It's Wanshou Valley! It's Lord Wang! A hundred people roared in unison.
"I am willing to die for my lords!" Ma Xintian led the roar.
"I am willing to die for my lords!" Hundreds of people echoed together, and Ben Lei was still the same.
"Good! Training troops for 1,000 days is a time to use them. Wang Huan was solemn and said loudly, the echo in the empty square vibrate, and everyone could hear it clearly: "You are the first hundred-person team in my Wanshou Valley, not for putting flowers on a display for people to see, soldiers shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homes and defending their land, and they train weekdays, just to defeat the enemy when they fight." ”
"Today's awarding of armor means the establishment of our Wanshou Valley pacesetter camp, from now on, you are a wall, to defend the enemy, you are a knife, to open up the territory, you are a torrent, to gallop in the land of Kyushu, to restore my Han rivers and mountains!"
"Whoa!"
All the people in the square roared together, and even the handymen standing behind were infected by the stirring words and solemn atmosphere, shouting in unison, their faces full of excitement, looking at the white-robed soldiers standing in the square, full of envy.
Wang Huan lifted the white robe, raised his head, and knelt on one knee to the sky, and the sergeants below also learned his movements, kneeling neatly and uniformly.
"Wang Huan swears to the sky here, in this life, he is willing to be for the people of the Han family, for the common people of the world, to expel the Tartars, to restore my country, unswervingly, I hope that the sky will bless me, invincible!"
"God bless me, invincible!" The white-robed army roared in unison, and the sound shook the universe.
Ma Chongming, who had been squeezed to the back, his face was flushed, he could hardly help himself, his mouth trembled with excitement, he muttered to himself as he looked at the white-robed soldiers in his eyes and muttered to himself: "Chen Qingzhi, this is Chen Qingzhi, the white-robed god of war, is it possible that my stone pillar today will have a god of war that is rare in a hundred years?" ”
