In the battle of Baimagou, Xu Weiqin led a small team to successfully lure the snake out of the hole, and Yang Yan led the two people and horses to copy the back road of the thief through the mountain path. When the thieves snatched the grain and happily moved it back, he had already set up a formation, and Xu Wei also led the team to climb to the top of the ditch in a roundabout way. At this time, Ma Tai led his heavy cavalry to attack Baimagou from three miles away. The three heads are encircled, and the turtles are caught alive in the urn. At this time, Zhang Qing only led dozens of archers to go to the thief's nest, and he did not love to fight, but shot and retreated, and turned the tiger away from the mountain. In this battle, the Jingsui battalion annihilated more than 180 people, captured more than 230 people, and the rest of the people were scattered. Eight people were killed and more than 40 were wounded, of which more than 10 were self-inflicted.

But Xu Wei was not happy. First, the opponent is an untrained rogue, and he will not be able to win. Second, there is almost no military discipline at present in the Jingsui battalion, and when he led a team to disguise the merchants and fled, one of them greedily beheaded the rank and rewarded the silver, ignoring the danger of exposing the ambush soldiers, returned to kill a thief, and took the head before returning to the team. Third, the current strength of the Jingsui Battalion may be okay to exterminate these rogues, but compared with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, it is too far behind.

It was only more than two months before the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty. The top priority at the moment is, first, to continue to expand the army and train it strictly; The second is to collect military supplies through various channels, including weapons, equipment, and horses; Third, it is the most important thing, talent, including officers, scribes, blacksmiths, military doctors, and even men. The first point is not difficult, the old man is a veteran general of the Western Army, and he can be a staff advisor. The second point is quite difficult, the court has a word first, only care about the grain, grass and military salary, and take care of everything else. The third point makes his head even bigger, there are thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many outstanding talents in Hebei since ancient times, but why do people defect to you? Wouldn't it be better if you have the ability to join the forbidden army?

Just when he was anxious, the old man did him a great favor, a letter, and summoned several members of the old department of the daimyo to be responsible for training soldiers. Ma Tai's Lao Tzu was a blacksmith in Zhuangzhong, and he was highly skilled, so he gathered his fellow disciples and brothers scattered in the nearby villages and defected to the Jingsui camp. There were also wealthy merchants in Hangzhou who went south from the canal and went ashore in Xiajin, and when they heard about Xu Jiu's feat, they generously donated money and subsidized 2,000 yuan of silver and 1,500 catties of high-grade iron.

After solving the urgent need, Xu Wei focused all his energy on training soldiers. At this time, the benefits of him pulling up the team to fight without training came out. The man who saw blood on the battlefield was no less than being reborn once from the fire, and his spirit was very different. Coupled with the reward money paid by Xu Wei with the donation, it greatly boosted morale. Coupled with the commander himself, he ate and lived with the soldiers, sharing joys and sorrows, who would not strive to serve the dead? As a result, the public order situation in Xiajin County has greatly improved.

On this day, the sky was clear and blue. The wheat field was in full swing, and the **** soldiers shouted loudly and practiced diligently. Xu Taigong's old department, all of whom were middle- and low-ranking officers in the Western Army, returned to their hometowns due to injuries. Although these people were not high in rank in the past, they were good at training non-commissioned soldiers, and they were appointed by Xu Wei as the head of the instructor, in charge of swords, guns, equipment training and troop arrangement. Several instructors continued the style of the Western Army, treating the soldiers extremely harshly, and if they were not satisfied, they would be whipped and kicked. Xu Wei never interfered, and if he talked about the "humanization" of his former era in the Song Dynasty, he would wait for the whole army to be wiped out. Ci does not lead soldiers, the vast majority of these soldiers are illiterate honest peasants, and they can't tell the difference between left and right when they stand in line, can you expect soft-spoken enlightenment? You have to fight! If you're scared, you'll naturally remember it! More sweat in peacetime and less blood in wartime, in any era, it is an unchanging truth!

Xu Wei led the officers, shirtless, carrying a thick wooden stake with a basin mouth, and sweating like rain around the wheat field. Others said that Ma Tai was obese, and the more he ran, the slower he became, and he was overtaken by Xu Wei and Yang Yan three times. Don't underestimate Mattei, although this guy was timid and afraid of things in the past, it was due to his personality, which does not mean that he has no real skills. In Xujiazhuang, in terms of martial arts, Xu Wei is the first; On archery, Zhang Qing is the best; is not afraid of death, no one is stronger than Yang Yan; When it comes to riding strength, who dares to compare with Mattei? Don't look at his fat head and big ears, shaped like Maitreya, no different from flat ground on horseback, especially with excellent arm strength. In the battle of Baimagou, he killed six people with his own hands, which is why his old son Baba rushed to Xu Wei. The son earned eighteen times at once, how much iron did he have to fight in exchange for it?

"Deputy Envoy Xu, Commander Xu, Master Xu, Brother Xu, no, it's really not good......" Ma Tai sat on the ground and said breathlessly.

He was in his forties, with a beard, muscles as hard as iron, and his skin was black and red after years of fire. At this time, he came out of the iron shed, and saw his son sitting on the ground, and stepped forward with a kick: "A worthless foodie, get up!" Look at Deputy Envoy Xu, who is one and a half years younger than you! ”

"His father is a five-rank official, and my father is a blacksmith, can it be the same?" Mattei retorted.

Ma Da Niu was stunned, and kicked again: "Hey, it's strange that Lao Tzu is here......" Seeing Xu Wei coming, he didn't pay attention to his son, stepped forward to sing a fat promise, and arched his hand: "Deputy Envoy Xu, the iron offered by the rich businessmen in Hangzhou must be high-grade iron!" A few new weapons have been cast, and you and everyone will come and see if you can take advantage of them. ”

Xu Wei and the others unloaded the wooden stake and followed him into the blacksmith's shed, only to see a few freshly cast weapons placed on the wooden frame. Yang Yan didn't say a word, strode over, grabbed a gun, held it tightly, and said, "Don't rob me!" I've got a crush on this one! Brother Jiu, you definitely don't like this thing, do you? It's ugly and hard to ......."

The gun, the head of the gun is like a horse, there are arc-shaped curved blades on both sides, the head is sharp and the tail is large, the gun shaft is eight feet long, and the tail has a bottle, which is one of the standard weapons of the Song Army "gun nine colors", and is a famous curved blade gun.

Before Ma Tai could choose, his father took an all-iron cast mountain axe from the shelf and threw it over, scolding in his mouth: "It's all your grandfather's fault for giving me this broken name, Da Niu, and giving birth to a son is the same as a cow, take it." Ma Tai cracked his mouth and smiled, took the giant axe, swept through, whirring the wind, and Yang Yan was so happy that he was cool.

Zhang Qing had already stared at a weapon, and at this time he stepped forward to take it, like a halberd but not a halberd, like a knife but not a knife. It is said to be a halberd, but the head of the spear is like the head of a sword, long and wide; It is said to be a knife, and there is a crescent blade under the head of the spear. The total length is seven feet, and it is called "halberd knife", which is one of the "eight colors of the knife".

"Hey, what kind of weapon does Brother Jiu use?" Yang Yan asked suddenly.
