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

Li Tao said: "As the name suggests, the auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary cavalry battles!" 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 it's about one person and four auxiliaries!"

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

Li Tao glanced at Li Sijing and said, "What you said is not right, with auxiliary soldiers, the sergeant can focus more on training and combat, and the 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? ”

"King Lantian said this very good!" Xue Ne smiled bitterly: "It's just this method, I'm afraid that only you Lantian King can make it in the entire Tang Dynasty, and if you change it to 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 Li Tao? Only Li Tao can come up with so much money. Besides, the various imperial courts of Zhechong Prefecture have all kinds of clear regulations, and only an irregular army like Li Tao can do this.

As they spoke. Luzhou group training has begun to get busy. In a short time, the cavalry was in formation.

Li Tao invited Xue Ne: "Go, look at my cavalry!" ”

Walk up to the cavalry. Everyone found that these cavalry were indeed like Li Tao said, each of them was a double horseman, and the horse lance, horizontal sword, and armor were the best equipment in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Haibin's eyes were sharp, and he asked Li Tao: "King Lantian, why are these cavalrymen all children?" ”

Li Sijing took a closer look, although these cavalry looked majestic. But the childishness on the face has not been taken off, and they are really children, the eldest is sixteen or seventeen years old. The youngest was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He said with some disdain: "I said, it's all like that." ”

Li Tao replied lightly: "Age is not a problem, I am fifteen or sixteen years old, but what I can do." You may not be able to do it. Whoever underestimates them. It's all going to be a big loss. ”

Xue Ne was afraid that Li Tao and Li Sijing would quarrel again, so he hurt his anger, and hurriedly said: "King Lantian, do you only have 800 cavalry?" ”

Li Tao replied: "Yes! My cavalry was divided into five teams, in addition to three cavalry teams of 200 men each, there was also a scout team of 100 men and a special team of 100 men. 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. That's also the best infantry. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao pointed to Zhao Langzhen of the First Cavalry Team and said, "This is Zhao Langzhen of my First Cavalry Team." Speaking of Lao Xue, you also know each other. ”

Xue Ne nodded slightly.

Seeing Li Sijing's disapproving appearance, Li Tao sneered: "You don't underestimate that he is just a team, twenty years ago, he was the captain of the Sixth Rank Zhaowu Martial Arts, 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, Li Tao looked at Li Sijing: "General Li, although you are now the general of the Right Guard, if I remember correctly, twenty years ago, you seemed to be the captain of Zhaowu of the sixth grade, right?" ”

Li Sijing was speechless, what Li Tao said was right, twenty years ago, he was indeed a captain of Zhaowu.

After taking a few steps forward, Li Tao pointed to another person: "This is Zhou Bo, the team leader of the second cavalry team of my Luzhou regiment." ”

Xue Ne smiled and said: "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 Bo had already been betrayed and beheaded. In order to save him, King Lantian had a dispute with Liu Zhennan in the Jinluan Palace, and finally used the method of demoting himself to save 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 said with emotion: "King Lantian has great kindness to this Zhou Bo, presumably he will fight to the death for you." ”

Li Tao 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! ”

Li Tao's words were loud, so that Wang Haibin couldn't help but be in awe of Li Tao.

Walking to the third cavalry team, Li Tao said: "This is the team of the third cavalry team of the Luzhou regiment training autumn white feathers. ”

Li Kailuo interjected: "Why does this name sound so familiar, maybe he is also a person with a background." ”

Li Tao gave a thumbs up to Li Kailuo: "General Li is really a god, and he can guess it." He was also a guerrilla general from Wupin in our Tang Army, and I am afraid that you are not familiar with his name, but if you talk about his nickname, you must have heard of it. ”

"Lantian King, what is his nickname?" Wang Haibin hurriedly asked.

"Divine Arrow Eagle Feather!" Li Tao said four words word by word.

"Huh? It's him? ”

Several people, including Xue Ne, exclaimed, no one in the Tang Army knew that the magic arrow Diao Ling, who was known as the first arrow in the army, was unmatched in the Tang Army in terms of archery skills. Just because his reputation is so great, not many people know his Qiu Baiyu's real name.

In the midst of the shock, Li Tao pointed to a young knight and said: "This is the team leader of the Luzhou regimental training special team, Hua Wenxuan, he grew up with me since childhood, and he is also my future uncle." ”

Li Tao pointed to the cavalry guarding around him and said, "In addition, I also have a scout team of 100 people, and the team is Zhou Bo's original subordinate Wang Lin. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao asked Xue Ne: "How is it, Old Xue, my cavalry is okay, right?" ”

"Of course you can, not only can, it's just too much." Xue Ne's speech was a little incoherent.

This time, even the most picky Li Sijing made an exception and did not say anything. (To be continued......)
