Under the gradually hot sun, the armor is bright and the flag is hunting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After Jiajing, the inspection of the inland guard station gradually became a formality, because the officers wantonly embezzled military salaries, so when the inspection was made, most of the idle men served as soldiers, and the officials in charge of the review often did not understand the military, and only judged whether the embroidered legs were good-looking.

However, such a situation is still very rare among the armies guarding the border on the nine sides and in the southwest. Since the 40th year of Wanli, there have been frequent wars in the southwest, and the battalion soldiers have gradually replaced the Weisuo army as the main force of the official army, and the wolf soldiers of Tusi are brave and untamed, and they are rebellious from time to time, except for a very small number of loyal people such as Shizhu Tusi Qin Liangyu, the enemy of the southwest border guards has always been these Miao Yi tribes who do not obey the king.

After the three war drums, the armies were assembled, and there was no sound on the huge school field, only the sound of the wind coming and going. The guards of honor on both sides of the high platform blew a dull trombone, and Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan, wore a royal flying fish suit and dragged it down, and put on a square-necked fish scale leaf waist-length armor, lined with a brocade swastika war skirt, wearing an eight-petal lotus brass waist hoop mouth hoop Ming iron helmet, the top was decorated with red tassels and helmet flags, and the ears were turned over on the helmet, all decorated with armor pieces, and the swords were hung on the belt, and the bows and bags and quivers were on both sides.

Hou Liangzhu was more than 50 people, he didn't see the sick face, he stood still in the high platform, looked left and right at the school field, and tens of thousands of soldiers brushed the ground on one knee, and the sound shook the sky: "My subordinates have seen the general soldiers!" ā€

"Get up." The military gate nodded slightly, and the herald banner officer with a loud and clear voice repeated the order loudly. I only heard the sound of the rubbing of the armor leaves, and the soldiers and generals got up together, but there was still no noise. Hou Liangzhu squinted for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "You have worked hard these days, and the children are all good. ā€

The generals behind him were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed down one after another, and they were diligent and cautious one by one, and the military men praised them falsely. Hou Liangzhu knew these tricks in the army very well in his heart, but he didn't bother to debunk them, so he laughed. Then he took a solemn step forward, opened his voice and shouted: "Today's reading, all the soldiers will do their best, there will be rewards for victory, and punishments for defeat!" Now that the barbarians are stupid, it is the time for us to wait for the warriors to serve the imperial court! There will be an order, if there is a winner today, a hundred taels of silver will be rewarded, and a pair of battle armor," he looked around to the left and right, and saw the irrepressible excitement on the faces of the soldiers standing nearby, stroked his beard and smiled: "Ben will have another benefit with him!" ā€

The flag officer loudly repeated Hou Liangzhu's words one by one, and the Ming troops in the battalions below immediately made a commotion, and the sound of discussion was like the sound of buzzing gnats, and the faces of the officers on the stage were not very good, Hou Liangzhu took these faces in his eyes, snorted coldly in his heart, but his face did not change, and only waited for the officers below to reprimand and restrain the soldiers to calm down, and then said: "Ben will sell a pass now, and the time is not early, now, let's start!" He didn't look at the looks of the people behind him, he sat down on a chair in the middle of the middle, and sat down on the first place under his left hand Liu Zhou, and when the generals sat down, he turned to Hou Liangzhu slightly, and said in a low voice: "Hou Gong's words today have disturbed people's hearts. ā€

Hou Liangzhu watched the boots of each battalion in the school yard retreat to the side one after another, making room for the upcoming school parade, and said noncommittally: "The children tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers and eat a mouthful of blood-stained food, are they really for the illusory righteousness of that idea?" With enough food in their stomachs and silver in their pockets, it is the luxury of many people to be able to feed their families and earn their lives from the battlefield. ā€

He seemed to answer Liu Zhou, and continued to say leisurely as if talking to himself: "Gold and silver wealth are moving, and I will promise heavy profits, and I am not afraid that the children below will not work hard." Since you are more afraid of death than the enemy, you win half of the battle. In this way, fewer people will die, and the more you are not afraid of death, the more you will not die. ā€

According to the process of reading, first each battalion displayed the formation and ordnance, only to see the battalion head open a posture, under the command of the commanding banner roaring back and running, or a group of several people, swords and guns to cooperate with the forward assault, or quickly formed a formation to defend. With such a difficult formation conversion, the natural level is high and low. There are those who are neat and fast when they are arrayed, and there are those who are procrastinating and chaotic soldiers scurrying around. The former naturally made the commander-in-chief smiling and his face colorful, while the latter made the battalion officer's face purple, and his forehead was full of shiny sweat.

Chen Xianda is an old god. His Xianzi battalion has performed well in all the readings, and recently his generals have added a little more attention to their daily drills because of the stimulation of Team D. With Chen Xianda's eyesight, he has long seen that the level of the Xianzi battalion in these camps is top-notch. Because it was a group of four battalion leaders, he caught the middle and back order when he drew lots, and now he is just waiting for his own battalion to play.

The command of Xu Nanwei made Liu Xinwu's face not very good. The head of the camp that made a big ugly guy just now was from his command. glared at the pale officer, thinking about how to clean up after the reading was over, and a not very pleasant laugh came from his ears: "Some people blow the conch so loudly on weekdays, and when they get to the field, they don't look like it." But when we are soldiers and eat food, what we see is the kung fu at hand, no matter how good it is said on weekdays, we will see the real chapter when we get to the school field. Hey, I'm a rough person, I can't say good things, I can't blow cowhide. Now this little face depends on the sons and daughters to fight for their anger. ā€

Liu Xinwu was furious when he heard this, he reluctantly pressed it down, looked sideways, and sure enough, it was a general who was not very good at dealing with him on weekdays and talked to an officer next to him proudly, looked at him, and asked him with a smile: "Commander Liu, is there any reason for what you said about me?" ā€

Chen Xianda was beside Liu Xinwu, and when he saw this, he hurriedly and quietly pulled his sleeve. Finally, Liu Xinwu's city mansion was not shallow, but he endured his anger, squeezed out a smile, and said word by word to the colorful general: "General He is not bad, our martial artists have to rely on their subordinates to speak, rely on their hands to speak, no matter how good this mouth is, it is useless." Speaking of which, although Xianda was attacked by barbarians when he returned to the camp this time, he almost suffered a big loss, but he still earned back dozens of heads, haha, it was not in vain that he worked weekdays. ā€

When he said Chen Xianda, the general opposite was immediately dumbfounded, his face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, but in the end, he only glared at the two of them. Liu Xinwu felt happy in his heart, snorted in his nose, turned around to talk to Chen Xianda, and said in a stern voice: "Chen Qianhu, when will the Xianzi camp end?" ā€

Liu Xinwu's voice attracted the attention of the neighbors. Chen Xianda sighed secretly in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to care, so he replied with the same expression: "Back to the command, the Xianzi battalion will draw lots seven out of ten, and the next one will be." ā€

Hou Liangzhu heard the faint noise behind him, his face showed a slight impatience, waved his hand to the soldiers on his side, and ordered: "Go and see, what is going on behind this?" When I was proofreading, all of them were Shangguan, and how many pairs of eyes did the sons and daughters look at, and they were not in a proper manner! ā€

The pro-soldier happened to look at Fang Cai in his eyes, and when he saw Hou Liangzhu asking, he said to him one by one, and finally said with a smile: "That Chen Qianhu's military achievements last time were not small, that is, the brothers talked about it on weekdays, and they were also envious." ā€

Hou Liangzhu looked at the few battalion leaders who were gradually retreating after the end of the drill in the field, suddenly raised his eyebrows, nodded somewhere, and asked: "If the general is not bad, it seems that the one who is going to play next is Liu Xinwu in his camp?" ā€

When the soldiers heard this, they looked up, and then called the officer next to them who knew the order to ask clearly, and Fang Sushou replied to Hou Liangzhu: "If you go back to the military gate, it is indeed the head of the battalion of Chen Qianhu under the command of Liu, called the Xianzi Battalion." ā€

In addition to the D team, the Xianzi battalion of the whole battalion was clearly what had happened on the parade platform, and they were still commanding the following team to enter the field under the command of the officer waving the flag, and since it was seventeen, they occupied the upper left position. Zheng Guocai and Zhou Qian stood down, and quietly looked up, as if they saw the figure of their own thousand households and commanders.

In order to look good, this kind of formation drill will actually inform the formation to be drilled a few days in advance, except for those battalion heads who are really not the same on weekdays, the general battalion leaders can always train at least or unsatisfactory, not to mention the first-class strong soldiers in the official army. They knew a few days ago that they were going to practice the fish scale formation today, and the difficulty was decent in several formations, and the Xianzi camp was naturally familiar with it.

After everyone stood still, the commanding officer waved the order flag, Zheng Guocai replaced Chen Xianda in the center of the command, he finished reading the order flag, and looked at Zhou Qian beside him in astonishment, Feng Baoqun hesitated and asked: "How can I look, it is not like fish scales, but like a crane wing array?" ā€

Zheng Guocai didn't have time to answer him, a pair of eyes stared at the officer in charge of the command flag, and then he waved the order flag again, and deliberately slowed down the rhythm for fear that someone would not be able to see it clearly-this time the whole Xianzi battalion saw it, and it was really a crane wing array.

Several team officers didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly issued an order to ask for a change of formation. Originally, in order to facilitate the deployment of the exercise, the Xianzi battalion used six columns when entering the field, but now it is necessary to change to two wings, and the crane wing formation in the center of the command will be able to complete the formation in a moment and a half? Fortunately, the Xianzi battalion did live up to the name of a strong army, although it was a little reluctant to be chaotic, but within a few breaths, the original six columns reassembled on the two wings according to different weapons, only to see the archers in the front, the long card in the center of the spearmen in the back, and the sword and shield at the end - sure enough, it was a crane wing array that could be attacked and retreated!

After the formation was completed, the whole army took a step forward in unison, and the generals let out three earth-shattering roars: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! "Swords and guns are out together, the armor is distinct, the left and right wings are properly arranged, and there is no chaos, and it is really not enough to be strong!

On the review stand, Chen Xianda's face only relaxed slightly, he turned around and wanted to talk to Liu Xinwu, but saw that the commander was also secretly wiping his sweat, and the two of them collided with each other, both of them were stunned, and then couldn't help laughing. Chen Xianda whispered and complained to Liu Xinwudao: "Commander, this is different from what I said before?" I remember that it was a fish scale array! How did you change the crane wings? If it weren't for the fact that the sons and daughters are still diligent on weekdays, they would be a big ugly man today! ā€

Liu Xinwu was also puzzled, and when Chen Xianda asked him, he also said: "If it is a crane wing, how can I talk to you about fish scales?" There must be a reason for this! He looked at the general soldier in the middle, a thought floated through his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "This on-the-spot change of formation, if there is no approval from the army, it will definitely not be allowed!" Could it be an order from the military? ā€

As soon as his conjecture came out, both of them stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

Hou Liangzhu saw this time, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad." Liu Zhou, who was next to him, sat on his knees, and smiled at him when he heard the words: "The military gate is so interested, but the generals are so frightened." I see that Commander Liu and Chen Qianhu's faces are all pale! However, this Xianzi battalion is really not bad, and it is also strong in the near change, and it is worthy of being called a strong soldier in eastern Sichuan. ā€

"Humph! Do they really think that Ben will not know about the flowers? It's just too lazy to bother with them! This formation, the emphasis is on changing the formation, thinking that you can rely on one formation to go all over the world?! This time it's about teaching them a lesson! However, the Xianzi camp is indeed a good performer, and this evaluation can be in the middle. He bowed his head and motioned to Liu Zhou to write it down, "After reading, the thousands of households in the Xianzi camp will give fifty taels of silver and a treasure knife." ā€

He looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked left and right: "In this Xianzi camp, there is a new team?" ā€

Liu Zhou deserved to be the head of his staff, and after a little thought, he replied: "The military gate is right, the report came up a few days ago, it is said that it is to bring people to join the army, called the Xianzi battalion team, and now in the southeast corner, the one who stands blue and yellow to recognize the flag is it." ā€

"Oh?" Hou Liangzhu narrowed his eyes, his eyes were still on the Xianzi battalion that was rehearsing the attack, but he said: "After the Xianzi battalion is finished in a while, pass Liu Xinwu and Chen Xianda to step forward, and then," he reached out and picked up the tea bowl from the few cases at hand, picked up the tea lid and skimmed the tea soup a few times, lowered his head and took a sip, and when he looked up again, he said slowly: "The battalion drill in the back will stop for a while, and the Xianzi battalion will come on the field." ā€

Whether it was Team D, who was quietly discussing and evaluating while watching the drills of his comrades on the field, or the officers and soldiers of the Xianzi Battalion who were shouting and sweating and waving weapons on the field, they didn't know that the big men on the stage had become curious about them, and Team D would also officially appear in front of all the Ming troops through this curiosity.
