The person had already gone far away, so he sighed softly, and just now, an irrepressible killing intent suddenly surged in Lian Zining's heart! At that moment, he wanted to kill Xiong Tingbi to prevent future troubles!

Xiong Tingbi is Xiong Tingbi after all, even if he is a thief, his talent will not change, there is such a variable here, I don't know how many incidents will be born!

However, Lian Zining still failed to pass the level of interests after all, and if he killed Xiong Tingbi, the cooperation with the white-robed army would inevitably break down completely, which was not in his own interests.

At the same time, a conversation also unfolded in the chamber of the white-robed army.

Now the headquarters of the White Robe Army is the Ma Zheng Yamen, the commander of Zhou Xingbo, because it is the most spacious and magnificent mansion in the four counties, so it naturally becomes the headquarters of the White Robe Army. This hall is the lobby of the Ma Zheng Yamen, which is more than a dozen steps in a square circle, and it is very spacious and wide.

It was noon, and the scorching early autumn sun shone through the open doors and windows, illuminating the hall.

At the top of the lobby, a large chair was placed, and a complete tiger skin was laid on it, and the tiger's head was high and lifelike. Zhang Geng sat on it, frowning, as if thinking about something.

At the bottom of him, there were two columns on the left and right, and there were seven or eight people sitting in each column, and these dozen people, tall, short, fat and thin, old and young, all started from the reckless, but now they are all famous people!

At the top of the column on the left is Huan Xinchen.

"Strategist, can Lian Zining agree?" Zhang Geng wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, and finally asked a person next to him.

The one he called a military advisor was a young man who was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not tall, and a little fat, so it could be said that his appearance was not good. But those eyes are extremely bright, bright, and unforgettable.

He sat in the first place in the column on the right, and he was faintly on the same level as Eun Xinchen, and even Wang Zixiang, who was the leader of the three leaders and was extremely senior, was in his hands, and he was obviously extremely powerful in the white-robed army.

The young man was wearing a suit of chain mail, and the bright silver rings of this chain mail were already faintly blackened, and the corners were also a little damaged, obviously very old. After listening to Zhang Geng's words, he smiled faintly, got up and saluted very respectfully, and then said: "Back to the words of the big leader, in my opinion, that Lian Zining will definitely agree." ”

"I have traveled for many years, for a certain errand, and I have also stayed in Beijing for a short time, this Lian Zining is a famous man in the north, and I have heard some rumors about him in Xia." The young man in the green robe said eloquently: "This person designed to drag the person to the Shuntian Mansion because of a disagreement, and made a noise to all the talents, and sentenced that person to death!" Later, he had a conflict with the son of the squire of the criminal department in Sihailou, and even if he made a poem, he lost face and became a laughing stock! It can be seen that this person's surname is ruthless and violent, but he is also resourceful. Although he always disagrees and breaks out, he does not seem reckless, which is also what this person admires. ”

"This Wang Qianhu and him are already immortal, and with Lian Zining's surname, he must want to kill him quickly. Hehe, these officials are all people who only care about themselves and the country, and they can have this opportunity, but I am afraid that they will not be able to ask for it! ”

What he said was reasonable, and everyone was convinced, Zhang Geng's wrung eyebrows also stretched, and he said with a smile: "If it is really as the military advisor said, if you can fight with Wu Yijun in front and back and kill Wang Qianhu, the avant-garde of the government army will definitely be leaderless, and it will be a big defeat!" We can reduce the pressure a little bit. ”

Huan Xinchen also said: "The military division can be called a clever calculation, it is expected that yesterday the officers and soldiers will be lax, and the main attack on the battalion is really a success, and the officers and soldiers have gone through this battle, but I am afraid that the morale of the army has also gone to seven points." ”

The young man in the green robe was very humble, and he didn't even dare to say it, "Big leader!" "A person suddenly came out of the ranks, but it was He Lao Mao, his face was extremely haggard at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, how could he still be high-spirited when he led thousands of troops? He slammed the ground, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "His subordinate He Lao Mao, the battle is not good, causing our brothers to fall a thousand times!" The sins of subordinates are unforgivable, and I am willing to ask the adults to deal with them! ”

Behind him, several more people came out of the queue and knelt down in turn, which was the other thousand households.

The lobby instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhang Geng to see what he would do.

Yesterday morning, the four thousand households who were ordered to go out on the expedition returned with a disastrous defeat, which shocked the entire white-robed army, and before the war, none of the leaders and generals of the white-robed army who thought that this battle was like a snail in the battle, none of them wanted to believe that the four thousand white-robed army was defeated by two thousand foot soldiers of the imperial court!

There is great fear in their hearts, if the imperial army is so powerful, wouldn't it be a dead end for us to rebel?

And what made them even more frightened was that many soldiers were frightened and stupid, and their expressions were in a trance, and when they saw people, they said how powerful the firearms of the Wu Yi Army were.

If it weren't for the ruthlessness of the military advisor and the military law team, he would have killed a group of people, but I am afraid that the whole army would have collapsed before a battle.

At that moment, many people panicked, but at this time, it was the military advisor who stood up and explained to everyone what a firearm is, the advantages and disadvantages of firearms, and according to the soldier's description, it was concluded that the firearm used by the other party was the Five Thunder God Machine. According to the military advisor, the imperial court abolished firearms as early as twenty years ago, and these five thunder god machines are afraid that they are already the last batch of stocks in the imperial court, and it is absolutely impossible for all the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to have firearms!

After hearing these words, everyone's hearts settled down. Then, the military division strongly advocated taking advantage of the great victory of the officers and soldiers to attack the camp when they were unprepared, with killing and wounding as the secondary, and reducing the morale of the opponent.

After this battle, this military advisor of unknown origin and even with a background in the imperial court jumped above 10,000 people, and the third person in the white-robed army below the two of them, in terms of power alone, has even surpassed the second leader Eun Xinchen, and no one in the army is dissatisfied!

Zhang Geng looked at the few people kneeling below, his face was ugly.

When it was said that the decision to attack Wu Yi's army was actually made by him and his military advisor, attacking two thousand foot soldiers with 4,000 cavalry, any commander would make such a decision, so they are not wrong! And He Laomao didn't know that the other party had such a powerful firearm, and it was not much wrong to return defeated.

However, after all, it must be dealt with, otherwise, military discipline and military morale will be greatly affected.

In fact, Zhang Geng is still quite grateful to He Lao Mao in his heart, which is equivalent to He Lao Mao giving him a top tank.

At this time, Huan Xinchen opened his mouth and said: "The big leader, the four of He Qianhu, although they are at fault, they will not be severely punished, after all, Wu Yijun has firearms, none of us expected it, right?" In my opinion, how about giving them another chance, not saying that we will go to war with the officers and soldiers, give them an army, and let them make meritorious contributions? ”

He Laomao and the four couldn't help but be stunned, but they didn't expect him to intercede for the four of them, and they couldn't help but be very grateful in their hearts.

Zhang Geng was stunned at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he didn't know why Eun Xinchen would intercede, but after all, this also solved a big problem for him, nodded to Eun Xinchen, and said with a smile: "The second leader is reasonable, what do you think?" ”

These thousands of households naturally won't offend people, besides, they are also quite sympathetic to He Laomao and the four of them, and they immediately agreed with each other.

"Good! In that case, then I will give you a chance, and let the four of you old cat atone for your sins! Zhang Geng took out a token from the red lacquer plate on the side and threw it to He Laomao: "Take my fire paint brand, go below to recruit soldiers, and make up for all your soldiers." These people have a good rest and recuperate in preparation for the big battle with the officers and soldiers! ”

"Yes, thank you to the big leader, the second leader, the subordinates will definitely fight to the death, and they will be ashamed!" He Laomao kowtowed heavily and thanked him and retreated.

After disposing of this matter, Zhang Geng was obviously relieved, and said, "Everyone, what else do you have to say?" ”

The military advisor said: "Tell the big leader, my subordinates have something to say." ”

Zhang Geng glanced at him approvingly, and said, "If the military advisor has something to say, just say it." ”

The military advisor made Zhang Geng very satisfied with him, that is, his courtesy, Zhang Geng was born recklessly, but now after all, he is also the master of one party, and he has an army of millions of people in the four counties, and he wants to set up a system in everything. But these generals are all old brothers who have followed him for a long time, and they have been used to it casually, although they have emphasized it many times, but they are still very arrogant, and I am called me indiscriminately. The military advisor is different, he is a tall family, he reads a lot, he takes the upper and lower levels very seriously, and he is very respectful to Zhang Geng.

"The previous two wars exposed many problems, the first of which was that we couldn't go far! Officers and soldiers have bows and arrows, crossbows, and muskets, but we only have melee blades, so we can only fill a path with human lives, and then rush over to fight people! I don't know how many brothers died on this road! The military advisor sighed: "In a battle with Wu Yi's army, if we have bows and arrows, and the four thousand cavalry shoot while riding, they can't beat us, and drag him to death." Last night's attack on the camp, if we had bows and arrows, a burst of rockets would have been fired over, and the official camp would have been burned! ”

After saying this, everyone nodded again and again, everyone is a clear-eyed person, after these two battles, the arrogant heart that used to be has been put away, knowing that the officers and soldiers are not easy, and they are willing to face up to their own shortcomings. Almost everyone noticed that the white-robed army lacked long-range shooting ability, but it couldn't be as thorough as he said.

Zhang Geng nodded, and said with a solemn face: "What the military advisor said is that it's just that the big war is coming, is it too late to make bows and arrows and train archers now?" ”

The military advisor smiled faintly: "In fact, the production of bows and arrows is not complicated, when I was young, I once led the children of the military households in the guard to make bows and arrows by myself, and I only need to find a small tree that is more than six feet long, of moderate size, tough and soft, cut it down, remove the branches and leaves, and slowly bend it into a bow shape, of course, in order to prevent it from straightening and recovering, it is necessary to burn it with firewood." If you can't find a suitable tree, bamboo or rattan can be used instead. It only takes half a day, the bow is made, and the string is not difficult, just tie it with hemp rope. Of course, the hemp rope is not strong, which affects the range and strength of the bow and arrow, if there is animal tendon, then it is the best. Of course, the range of the bow and arrow made in this way will inevitably be much worse than that of the meticulous work in the hands of officers and soldiers, but it is enough to use. ”

"As for archers, it's not a big problem, we don't want archers, but as long as we can shoot arrows, we can shoot arrows. The army is fighting, arrows are raining down, and there is no calibration degree, so many people, no matter how they shoot, they can kill. Our soldiers, as long as they can get acquainted with these few days and shoot arrows fifty paces away, are considered qualified! ”

"The most difficult thing is the feather arrow, to fire paint, to iron tufts, to goose feathers, duck feathers, these are not in power. However, the military advisor said confidently: "If the great chief can transfer to me all the blacksmiths and carpenters in the land of the four counties, and then transfer me to a thousand soldiers, and give me the right to act cheaply with the land of the four counties, I have the confidence to make five thousand bows and one hundred thousand arrows for the big leader within three days!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Geng was greatly pleased, and laughed and said: "Military advisor, it is really a gift from God to us!" I have given you all the promise! This matter will require the military advisor to worry a lot. ”

"The big boss is too polite." The young man in the green robe arched his hand and said: "The big leader is not suspicious of Yuan Jing's official family, believe me and use me, you robes treat me like brothers, how dare Qi Jiguang not do his best?" ”
