(Continue to ask for tickets, the recommended votes are too miserable, and please take care of most of them!) ）

Ma Chao was slightly proud in his heart, since Meng Da changed his name to the lord, he had obviously returned to his heart, as long as he treated him sincerely, he might not rebel in the future. In addition, Meng Da is still young, talented and extraordinary, and has a very strong surname, so he only needs to find a teacher who is both loyal and righteous, and his achievements in the future cannot be underestimated. Immediately picked up Meng Da, Zhengse said: "Life should be brave to inquire about loyalty, death is also liver and gallbladder Kunlun, my good man in Xiliang should be like this." After that, he turned around and pointed at Pang De and said: "Nan'an Pang Ling Ming Pang General, bravely crowned the three armies, is familiar with the art of war, has experienced a hundred battles, and can be your division." ”

Although Pang De is only in his early twenties, he has a very high prestige in Ma Teng's army, and Meng Da is only a long one, so he naturally knows Pang De's ability, and immediately rejoiced: "General Pang's courage is only under the lord, and the son is willing to worship General Pang as a teacher!" ”

Pang De was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but it was difficult to hide the admiration in his eyes, and he said humbly: "Young master, this matter is not appropriate, how can the last general He De?" The young master Wen Taowu is far better than the last general, and he hopes that the young master will take back his fate. ”

Ma Chao shook his head when he heard this: "Nan'an Pang Lingming, the moon is bright; Mighty cannot be bent, and temperance cannot be changed. This is my voice, isn't it that Brother Dang doesn't dare to take responsibility? ”

Pang De trembled when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate, Pang Mou will be arrogant, Zi respects the young and brave, and has a clear mind, you and I should encourage each other and make progress together to help the young master achieve great things." ”

Meng Da was overjoyed and was about to apprentice immediately, but Pang De hurriedly grabbed him, and said: "I'm just a few years older than you, and the matter of apprenticeship will never be mentioned again. ”

"This" Meng Da hesitated for a moment, and after seeing Ma Chao nodding slightly, he said loudly: "The eldest brother is above, please accept the worship of the younger brother!" This time, Pound did not stop him, but returned the half-salute, and the relationship between the two as teachers and friends was determined.

At this time, people crossed the gate one after another, Brother Xiao Ma personally checked, asked about the name, place of origin and other things one by one, most of the fifty centurions were grassroots non-commissioned officers in the army, and it was not surprising that they could stand out, but it was a pity that there were no historical figures he knew among these people, and it was inevitable that there were some regrets in his heart.

After another stick of incense, a total of more than 6,000 and nearly 7,000 people stepped into the gate, but the forty-mile rush had already reached the limit of the physical strength of most of the sergeants. As soon as the sergeants entered the door, they sat undisciplined on the ground, in groups in the east and in clusters in the west, like a plate of loose sand.

Ma Chao shook his head secretly while registering and making a book, and about half an hour later, after the list of middle- and high-level officers in the army was sorted out, he walked up to the general platform alone. At this time, the Xiliang soldiers who had been eliminated had already returned to the camp, and the huge exercise ground was extremely empty.

Brother Xiao Ma took a deep breath and said loudly: "Soldiers, you are all good, you can be called the most elite soldiers of my Xiliang Army, I am very relieved!" But our opponent is the Hun Iron Cavalry, all of them are murderous and unblinking, I don't want to see the Hun Iron Cavalry step into the territory of my Han again, let alone see the Huns burn our people, rob our women and food, so this expedition can be described as a long way to go, even nine deaths, if it is too late to withdraw now, I will never add guilt. ”

"Swear to die and not retreat, swear to kill the Huns!"

"Swear to die and not retreat, swear to kill the Huns!"

Nearly 7,000 people roared loudly, and their voices were not much lower than the tens of thousands just now, and not one of them was willing to leave.

"Okay, I'm proud of you, I'm going to thank you for the souls who died under the Huns' iron cavalry, and for the people on the border who have been bullied by the Huns all year round, please accept my worship!" Brother Xiao Ma was also in a mood, and bowed down on the stage.

"Swear to follow the general to the death, swear to kill the Huns!"

"Swear to follow the general to the death, swear to kill the Huns!"

Nearly 7,000 people knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, the momentum was earth-shattering, and they were eager to immediately raise troops and rush to the battlefield.

Seeing that the army's heart was almost bought, Xiao Ma got up and shouted: "But going into battle to kill the enemy is not child's play, we must not only have an iron will, but also have an iron discipline, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty." Now Ben will issue the first order, and those who can complete it will be my fellow brothers of Ma Mengqi, and I will share weal and woe with my own brothers, and treat them as brothers and sisters; If you can't do it, please leave, and don't let any undisciplined soldiers under my command, for such soldiers will not only kill themselves on the battlefield, but also kill my brothers and sisters. ”

"Please give the general an order!"

Ma Chao held the halberd in his right hand and slammed down, and the halberd immediately stood on the platform, then straightened his chest and abdomen, stood straight with his legs together, looked ahead, and said loudly: "It's very simple, all the soldiers have also seen it!" With the same posture of this will stand motionless for two hours, those who can't do it will be eliminated immediately, and those who successfully complete it will be a member of my Shenwei Battalion, I will regard it as a brother and sister, and in the future, life and death depend on each other, never give up, glory and wealth, fame and fortune, etc. ”

Although thousands of people didn't understand what Xiao Ma's intentions were, it was not difficult to think about it, so they immediately put down their weapons and stood up in a military posture, and for a time there was silence on the huge martial arts arena.

Brother Pony sneered secretly, it was easy to stand in a military posture, but it was difficult to stand motionless for four hours, and he knew this. In the same way, standing in a military posture is not the goal, the purpose is to establish military discipline, it can also be said to be dismounting, if he can't even complete his first order, he will only become a black sheep if he comes.

At the beginning, it was relatively neat, and no one dared to move more than 7,000 people, but as soon as half an hour passed, some people couldn't hold their breath and began to shake slightly.

Ma Chao saw it clearly, and shouted loudly: "General Pang De listens to the order, and this general orders you to lead Wang Shuang, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Meng Da to go down to inspect, and if you find that there are disobedient people, you will immediately rush out of the military field!" ”

"The last general obeys!" The five people who were standing in the military posture were liberated at that time, and the six of them went in different directions after a little discussion, and their eyes glanced at the thousands of people standing upright. And Ma Chao himself was still motionless, and after speaking, he stood on the podium like a javelin, which invisibly increased the pressure on the thousands of people in the audience.

After another half an hour, finally someone couldn't help but scratch his nose, and was immediately pulled out by Pang De not far away, and drove out of the arena without saying a word. The man was full of unwillingness, and he was aggrieved and regretful, but the military order was like a mountain, and no one would listen to his complaints, so he could only return to the headquarters in frustration, causing a laugh.

The gun shot the first bird, and everyone saw that Ma Chao was playing really, and immediately hung their hearts up, and cheered up their spirits, although their backs hurt and their legs were numb, but still no one dared to move, unless they wanted to fall short, and they were ridiculed at the last moment when they were driven out of the military field.

However, there were always people in the crowd who were lucky, and when they were uncomfortable, they took risks and tried to hide from the supervision of the five, and as a result, more than 30 people were driven out in less than half an hour, and by the end of two hours, nearly 100 people were eliminated from the competition.

Ma Chao rubbed his shoulders, and he was extremely satisfied when he looked at the soldiers moving in place under the stage. After counting the numbers, a total of 7,238 people passed through the selection and allocation, which was nearly half of the 5,000 people they had planned. But Brother Xiao Ma has no reason to give up, this is the elite of the elite, as long as the plan can be successful, there is almost no burden to feed two thousand more people.

Ma Chao discussed with Pang De, and ordered some matters, so he told Ma Teng about this idea, after all, his net worth is almost zero now, and Ma Teng has to make decisions when it comes to war horses, weapons, and money and food. The latter agreed with Ma Chao's idea after a little thought, anyway, the army is idle and idle, rather than wasting food and grass in vain, it is better to follow Ma Chao's expedition.

After getting Ma Teng's approval, Brother Xiao Ma was very happy, and after coming back, several people decided to divide more than 7,000 people into a team of 7,000 people, Ma Chao, Pang De, Wang Shuang, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Meng Da each led a team of 1,000 people. He also asked Pound to select talents who were good at horses among the 7,000 people, and Ma Teng's army had more than 30,000 war horses, and Pound's task was to go to the horse farm to select 7,000 good war horses.

And Ma Chao took the three brothers to urge Ma Teng to buy bows and arrows, war knives and fine iron and other materials. Ma Teng also calculated the blood capital for this, and it was easy to fight with knives, spears and armor, after all, this army was formerly an official army, and the equipment was still quite sophisticated. Only the two-stone bow is more troublesome, because the two-stone bow that Ma Chao wants does not refer to the longbow in general, but the actual two-stone bow.

In ancient times, thirty catties were jun, four jun were stones, and two stones were two hundred and forty catties (equivalent to the current strength of about 100 catties) to pull the bow, which definitely belonged to the category of strong bows. All the eligible longbows in the whole army were only nearly 3,000 together, and Ma Teng had no choice but to ask the craftsmen to rush to work all night, and it took nearly ten days to calculate the number of 7,000 strong bows.

After completing most of the preparations, Ma Chao led the army to leave the camp and marched through most of Wuwei County for five days, until it was only fifty miles away from Beidi County in a place full of water and grass before pressing the camp. There were also 3,000 auxiliaries, all of whom were selected from among the sergeants who had been eliminated by Brother Xiao Ma because they were over twenty-five years old. At the beginning, these sergeants gritted their teeth and were excited when they heard that they were going to send troops to the Huns, but who knew that Brother Xiao Ma kicked them out of the game with a word.

Unwillingly, these veterans collectively petitioned Ma Teng to fight. The father and son discussed, and in order to take care of the emotions of these veterans, Brother Xiao Ma decided to add 3,000 logistics auxiliaries to accompany the army. So Brother Xiao Ma personally selected 3,000 elites from the more than 20,000 soldiers who asked for battle, including 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry troops. In terms of combat effectiveness, these 3,000 people are definitely not worse than the 7,000 elites, and even stronger.

Before setting out on the expedition, Brother Xiao Ma gathered these 3,000 people together to brainwash, knew them with affection, moved them with reason, and successfully persuaded these former battlefield murderers to turn into auxiliaries. Auxiliaries, on the other hand, generally do not directly participate in battles, but are mainly responsible for burying pots and cooking, building barracks, escorting baggage, patrolling and guarding the camp at night, and supervising prisoners. Led by Yang Yuan, a general under Ma Teng, he was under the command of Ma Chao and had full authority to obey Ma Chao's command and dispatch.
