"Commander Zhao, there is no need to compete in the next few rounds, Commander Zhao's military orders, no one in my people dares to disobey." Ye Qing no longer sent people to compete, but came to Zhao Xun's side with five small leaders and said to Zhao Xun.

Well? So they threw in the towel? How can he say that he only tried two games, and he didn't decide the winner or loser, does he have other ideas? But looking at the demeanor of a few people behind him, it doesn't look like he's unconvinced.

Ye Qing saw that Zhao Xun's face had changed a few times, and he knew that the other party must be guessing his intentions, so he said: "This competition is not to compete with Commander Zhao for any commanding power, after all, this is just a few days. The purpose of this time is to let my brothers open their eyes and know that there are many heroes who know that they are stronger than them everywhere, so that they will not be arrogant and cause any trouble in the future. ”

"In that case, then I'm welcome, let's go and discuss the arrangements for the next few days." Zhao Xun is not hypocritical, since the other party has given up, there is no need for him to do superfluous things.

The big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the sentry officers and leaders sitting on both sides, Zhao Xun suddenly felt as if he was commanding the heroes, and tens of thousands of people bowed down. calmed his boiling heart, glanced at everyone, and said: "I know that everyone is very confused about this mission, but I can't tell you now, what are we talking about this time, your subordinates will ask them, they are here to train the army." In the next three days, we continued to follow the slogan we issued, each team trained and competed, one to check their own shortcomings, and the other to learn from each other's strengths. I hope that all armies will strictly abide by military discipline and not do things that will embarrass everyone, because everyone's face will not look good at that time. Have you memorized them all? ”

"Ordered!" Although Zhao Xun was not their direct boss, when each team came, they were instructed by the above to obey Zhao Xun's military orders. Besides, although today's competition did not continue, everyone from outside the world saw the essence of the Huolin Army.

On the first and second days, several thousand people outside Yanzhou Mansion began joint drills in many items, such as queues, military formations, drills of various arms of the armed forces, and offensive and defensive exercises. The forces that had paid attention to Zhao Xun's operation had relaxed their monitoring of them. However, Zhao Xun's move also caused quite a stir, and even the camp of the Longxiang army in the northeast of Yanzhou Mansion had heard of it.

In the evening, the leaders of each team gathered in Zhao Xun's big tent and listened to Zhao Xun's training arrangements for the next day.

"Tomorrow is the third day of our training, mainly the coordinated operation of cavalry and infantry, our goal is eighty miles to the east, there is the Huolin army plus the Wutong Yiqu Mansion army against the team led by Ye Commander plus Li Quchang's people. With equal numbers on both sides, let's rehearse the encounter in the field. Zhao Xun ordered the next day's training task.

"Eighty miles? Commander Zhao, isn't it too far, why don't you start training around here? Ye Qing asked puzzled.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "This is mainly to be more in line with the actual situation, if we do not follow the facts in training and go to the battlefield, but find that the reality is not in line with the usual training, how should we deal with it at that time?" ”

Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Ye Qing did not refute it. Not only Ye Qing, but also many people are puzzled by Zhao Xun's strict drill, the drills are all fake, why should they be so serious? However, despite thinking so, no one said it. In the two-day drill, all aspects of the Huolin Army were in front, which surprised Ye Qing, who had always thought that his subordinates were good, and as for the five small leaders under Ye Qing's command, they had already buried their heads in hard training. How to refute? Zhao Xun's facts are in front of him, his people are strong, don't you want to train? Yes, then you can defeat Zhao Xun's people.

Of course, Zhao Xun's strength lies in the strong discipline and overall cooperation of the soldiers, Zhao Xun envies the equipment of the government army, especially the armor, in his own team, there are less than a battalion of various armor, Zhao Xun has a kind of idea of robbing them all; Ye Qing's Black Flag Army is the strongest in individual combat, this strongest refers to the average Su zhì, to say that they are stronger than them, Zhao Xun's subordinates also have them, but too many recruits have reduced their combat effectiveness. The fighting power of the government army is not weak with the Black Flag Army, but it does not have the momentum of the Black Flag Army to exchange lives for lives, of course, this is related to the origin of the Black Flag Army, born as a bandit, wandering on the edge of life and death, I don't know how many more battles than Zhao Xun has experienced.

"Your Excellency wants to attack tomorrow?" After everyone left, Situ Liang said.

"Yes! On the surface, it was an army drill, but in fact it launched an attack, so as to ensure suddenness and secrecy. ”

"Are you afraid that there are strict spies in these teams?"

"There are a lot of people, and if there is a leak, it will be much more difficult."

Situ Liang slapped his palm and said: "Wonderful, nominally the training team, on the surface, there will be action after three days, but in fact, the matter has been over after three days." My lord! I admire you more and more! ”

Zhao Xun: "I said Situ Liang, when did you start to learn to pat on the back?" ”

"From the bottom of my heart! From the bottom of my heart! Situ Liang touched his chin and said with a smile.

"Drive! Speed up! We must show the Fire Lin Army how good we are! Yuan Gang said loudly after slapping the war horse under his crotch hard.

"But big brother, the foot soldiers behind us can't keep up! Commander Zhao said that it was necessary to arrive on foot and horse. Brother Ye also said, let's not rush too fast and pull too far from the foot soldiers behind. Yuan Gang's brother Yuan Jian hurriedly stopped.

"Bad luck! If our soldiers are all cavalry, galloping on horseback, we don't have to worry about being out of touch with the footmen. Yuan Gang said annoyedly.

Yuan Jian smiled bitterly: "I said big brother, you think this war horse is cabbage, how much do you want." Besides, it's Chinese cabbage, and it's not something you can have if you want it. ”

Yuan Gang suddenly said excitedly: "I heard Lord Zhou say that as long as this mission is completed, we will not be short of horses, and I don't know if it's true, if it's true, it will be too cool." ”

Yuan Jiandao: "I hope it's true, I don't know what this Zhao Xun wants to do?" He always let us train here, and he didn't tell us about the mission. ”

Yuan Gang said: "Whatever, don't say it, in the past two days, we have really learned a lot, this kind of training is still good for us, this Zhao Xun is really not simple." Don't worry about it, Zhao Xun won't always let me train here, didn't he say, I'll tell us about the mission tomorrow, I want to see what kind of task it is, it needs so many people to act together, and it's mysterious. ”

On the other side, Zhao Xun also assigned tasks to his subordinates at the same time as he was newly recruited.

"Presumably everyone already knows our task today, after the battle begins, Zhao Kang, you take the Shanzi Battalion to enter the town with the Black Flag Army and other teams, don't rush too forward, most of your Shanzi Battalion are recruits, this time the main task is to train the troops, as for killing, then hand it over to the Black Flag Army and the 1,000 government army. Li Lingfeng, you take the cavalry of the Huozi Battalion to patrol the surrounding area, and you must not let the enemies in the town escape, since you have come here, we will leave them behind. As for the recruits of the two sentinels, they are with the Shanzi battalion. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Zhao Kang and Li Lingfeng responded in unison.

"Situ Liang, Zhou Wenju!"

"The subordinates are here!" The two of them came out of the ranks.

"You take the logistics soldiers to take over the warehouses immediately after the other soldiers defeat the enemy army, don't let people make trouble, and when the time comes, I will let Zhao Shun bring the personal guards to assist you."

"Subordinates take orders!"

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, everyone be careful!"

In the morning, they set off before dawn, and at noon the armies arrived at the designated place, Zhao Xun and Ye Qing gathered together in the south and the north, as for the offensive training, of course, it was exempted, and the soldiers on both sides were already secretly complaining, tired and didn't want to move. The original purpose was not real training, and seeing this scene, Zhao Xun was exempted from offensive and defensive drills.

"How? Commander Ye, how is the effect of your team after a long journey? After setting up the barracks, Zhao Xun came to Ye Qing's camp and asked with a smile.

Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, we have never carried out this long-distance journey, especially with foot soldiers, and we have completely lost our combat effectiveness when we arrive here." As for the attack, if Commander Zhao leads people to charge, it is estimated that my camp will collapse immediately. It's still an adult's Huolin army, which is extraordinary, it even arrived before us and the government army, and it also set up camp, and it seems that the momentum is not bad. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled: "This is also the result of many long-distance training in our usual days. The government army, they are all wearing armor, so they move slowly, in fact, we are not stronger than them. As for the Black Flag Army, it has never done so, and therefore, it is lagging behind us. But from this operation, we should also find that there is still a difference between our soldiers and the truly battle-hardened army, for whom long-distance raids have become commonplace. Okay, let's let the soldiers rest first, after resting for an hour, I have something to announce, I hope that Commander Ye will adjust the mentality of his subordinates. At the same time, you must not let your men leave the camp. ”

When Ye Qing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, I will definitely not delay the important matter of Commander Zhao." ”

After Zhao Xun left, Ye Qing said to himself: "This Zhao Xun, I played everyone, it turns out that the task is today, it's really calculating, this Zhao Xun, I still underestimate him!" It's amazing to have such scheming at such a young age, no wonder Lord Zhou asked me to obey his orders. ”

"Master Wu, Master Li, how are the soldiers of your two songs?" Leaving the Black Flag barracks, Zhao Xun came to the two government barracks again, and summoned the two Qu Chiefs to ask.

Wu Tong smiled bitterly: "What else? Everyone was tired and half dead, but many soldiers had experienced such things, so there was nothing special. ”

"The government army is really the government army, and many people in the Huolin Army and the Black Flag Army are complaining." Zhao Xun sighed.

Wu Daodao: "Lord Zhao can train soldiers to be like this in half a year, which has already embarrassed our government army, compared to Lord Zhao, we are really far behind." ”

"Two lords, let your men rest for an hour after eating, cheer up and prepare for battle, I'm talking about the real battle, and when the time comes, it's up to you. An hour later cometh to my tent and listen to commands. By the way, from now on, none of your men can leave the camp. ”

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, didn't they say that they were training? How did it turn into a real battle again? However, listening to Zhao Xun's meaning, he was about to start fighting, but he didn't know who the target was. Is this the mission? The two thought secretly.

"Qingshan, take the personal guards, patrol the surroundings, and don't let anyone leave here! Zhao Kang and Li Lingfeng, after eating, let the soldiers prepare for battle, and tell them that this time we are not training, but a real attack, and we must not be careless. The sentinel set out immediately after eating, and carefully investigated the situation in Qingshan Town, and reported any changes immediately. ”
