Zhang Bao'er nodded: "Of course it's on the march!" ”

"How long will it be for thousands of people on the march to set up their chariots?" Xue Ne was a little incredulous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Bao'er was a little embarrassed and said: "My training is not in place enough, if you encounter a sudden attack by the enemy, how can I give you so much time to set up a car formation?" ”

Xue Ne looked left and right, and Li Sijing, Li Kailuo, Wang Haibin and others all lowered their heads.

In their opinion, it would take at least half an hour to suddenly stop from the march and then set up a chariot formation to repel the enemy, and this must be a well-trained elite army. And they only delayed for a quarter of an hour on the road, and the Luzhou regimental training set up a standard circular car formation, how could they not be shocked?

"Grand Duke, go, I'll take you to see my army!" Zhang Bao'er dismounted and greeted.

"Oh, good!" Xue Ne dismounted.

Zhang Bao'er said to the herald behind him: "Order the scout team to be on guard all around, the horse team and the thunder team are reviewed, and the auxiliary soldiers are on standby!" ”

"Yes!" Riding on a horse, the commander received the order, drew the red and white flag from behind his back, and began to wave it.

Xue Ne asked curiously: "Dingguo Gong's order to pass the flag, why can't I understand it?" ”

Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "Luzhou regimental training is not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and the way of ordering the flag is naturally different. ”

"Dingguo Gong, what is this auxiliary soldier for?" Wang Haibin asked timidly on the side.

Zhang Bao'er said: "As the name suggests, the auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary cavalry to fight!" The cavalry was only responsible for fighting, and everything else such as baggage, camping, pitching tents, cooking, and other things outside of fighting was done by auxiliaries. ”

It was also the first time Xanne had heard of auxiliaries, and he asked with interest, "How many auxiliaries are there for each cavalry?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I have 800 sergeants here and more than 3,000 auxiliaries, so I think there are about four auxiliaries for one person!"

Li Sijing muttered on the side: "This soldier is too comfortable, right?" ”

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Li Sijing and said: "What you said is not right, with auxiliary soldiers, the sergeants can focus more on training and combat, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved." These sergeants are all going to fight for their lives with the enemy, so let them be treated better and have no worries, shouldn't they? Besides, not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment. If you want to be a true warrior, you must be one in a hundred warriors, which is also an honor. In this way, they will fight bravely for the sake of honor on the battlefield, is there anything wrong with that? ”

"Dingguo Gong said this is very good!" Xue Ne smiled bitterly: "It's just this method, I'm afraid that only you can make it in the entire Tang Dynasty, and if you are someone else, you can only sigh with hope!" ”

Xue Ne is not wrong at all, how much does it cost to equip a cavalry like Zhang Bao'er? Only Zhang Baoer can come up with so much money. Besides, the various imperial courts of the Tang Dynasty have all kinds of explicit regulations, and only an irregular army like Zhang Bao'er can do this.

While they were talking, the Luzhou group practice had already begun to get busy. In a short time, the cavalry was in formation.

Zhang Bao'er invited Xue Ne: "Go, look at my cavalry!" ”

Walking in front of the cavalry, everyone found that these cavalry were indeed like Zhang Bao'er said, each of them was a double horseman, equipped with a horse lance, a horizontal knife, and armor, all of which were the best equipment in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Haibin's eyes were sharp, and he asked Zhang Bao'er: "Dingguo Gong, why are these cavalrymen all children?" ”

Li Sijing took a closer look, although these cavalrymen looked majestic, but the childishness on their faces was still not shed, and they were really children, the oldest was eighteen or nineteen years old, and the younger ones were fifteen or sixteen years old. He said with some disdain: "I said, it's all like that." ”

Zhang Bao'er replied lightly: "Age is not a problem, what I can do at the age of fifteen or sixteen, you may not be able to do it." No matter who it is, if you underestimate them, you will suffer a big loss. ”

Xue Ne was afraid that Zhang Bao'er and Li Sijing would argue again, so he was hurt and angry, so he hurriedly said: "Dingguo Gong, do you only have 800 cavalry?" ”

Zhang Baoer replied: "Yes! My cavalry was divided into five teams, in addition to three cavalry teams of 200 men each, and a scout team and a thunder team of 100 men each. Don't look at their young age, as cavalrymen, they will not fall behind in a fight with the Turkic cavalry. Even if they abandon their horses, they are the best infantry. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer pointed to Zhao Langzhen of the First Cavalry Team and said: "This is Zhao Langzhen, the team leader of my First Cavalry Team, and you also know Lao Xue." ”

Xue Ne nodded slightly.

Seeing Li Sijing's disapproving appearance, Zhang Bao'er sneered: "Don't underestimate that he is just a team leader, twenty years ago, he was a six-rank Zhaowu captain, I don't know how many times he rolled in the pile of dead people, and the enemies who died in his hands were not hundreds, but dozens of people." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er looked at Li Sijing: "General Li, although you are now the general of the right guard, if I remember correctly, twenty years ago, you also seemed to be the captain of Zhaowu of Zhengliupin, right?" ”

Li Sijing was speechless, Zhang Baoer was right, twenty years ago, he was indeed a captain of Zhaowu.

After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Bao'er pointed to another person: "This is Zhou Bo, the team leader of the Second Cavalry Team of my Luzhou Regiment." ”

Xue Ne smiled: "This is another character, he is a ranger general of the fifth grade, although I have not seen him, but his reputation for being good at fighting is not small." I heard that Liu Zhennan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, blamed Zhou Bo after the defeat of the army, and Zhou Boben had been betrayed and beheaded. In order to save him, Dingguo Gong reasoned with Liu Zhennan in the Jinluan Palace, and saved Zhou Bo's life. I thought that Zhou Bo was hiding incognito in other places, but today I found out that he actually made a team leader here with you. ”

What Xue Ne said, everyone had heard it in the army, and they thought it was a rumor that was not credible, but today they know that it is true.

Wang Haibin sighed with emotion: "Dingguo Gong has great kindness to this Zhou Bo, presumably he will work hard for you." ”

Zhang Bao'er shook his head and said, "Wang Duwei's words are wrong! It's not that Zhou Bo thanked me, but that Datang should thank Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo fought bloodily on the front line and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I can't see him bleeding in front and crying in the rear after being wronged. Don't say it's Zhou Bo, even if it was you Wang Duwei at that time, I would have to come to the rescue! ”

Zhang Baoer's words were loud, which made Wang Haibin awe Zhang Baoer.

Walking to the third cavalry team, Zhang Baoer said: "This is the team of the Luzhou regiment training the third cavalry team. ”
