"Xue Lang, we received an order from the Ministry of War to go to disaster relief?" Yin Ci and the others ran over eagerly, and immediately spoke to Xue Chongxun, who had just gotten off the carriage, and the generals on the side also had expressions of disbelief.

Someone said angrily: "We wear armor to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, the affairs of the state and county are related to our bird affairs, who likes to go, what are we going to do?" Didn't you rebel yet, and send troops to see the sun in the place where the bird doesn't lay eggs? ”

Xue Chongxun said quietly: "I played the music." ”

The generals looked at him puzzled, and most of them looked like the second monk was confused.

Xue Chongxun didn't explain, looked around at the surrounding generals, and said, "The herald is lined up with the colonel. ”

"Order!"

The generals each found their own soldiers and went to the barracks to convey the military orders, and after a while, more than 100 people came out of each camp one after another and lined up in the open space inside the gate. When sorting out the formation, Xue Chongxun actually heard the command "Look to the right", and the organized army was indeed more susceptible to the influence of the upper echelons.

There were four rows of queues, and soon they were standing neatly, and Xue Chongxun nodded slightly to show satisfaction. At this time, many soldiers between the barracks and tents were also quietly watching, and the officers were naturally very curious and concerned about the lectures they were given.

Xue Chongxun looked left and right, and saw a donkey cart unloading livestock behind him, so he stood up, and saw the generals standing straight and their eyes gathered on his body in unison, Xue Chongxun inexplicably had a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as a leader.

He said solemnly: "Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, and the elite division of the Shence Army must be diligent in training all the time. Not only do you have to practice formations, queues, archers, horses, and archery, but you also have to be fast and be able to quickly reach the battlefield when you need to! Otherwise, the enemy soldiers have come to our territory and robbed it, no matter how powerful the men and horses are slow to go, what use can they come in? ”

Yin Ci and other generals nodded yes, and Xue Chongxun took advantage of the situation to ask: "Qizhou is three hundred and fifty miles away from Chang'an, and it will start in half an hour, and all of them will arrive in Qizhou within two days and two nights, can it be done?" ”

"Xue Lang, don't worry, we will arrive on time." Everyone became more and more interested, and the generals thought that this matter could indeed achieve the effect of military training.

"Good." Xue Chongxun looked around at the neat queue of generals and nodded, "No matter how high a person's martial arts are, it is difficult to defeat ten people and hundreds of people, military discipline can gather the strength of tens of millions of people and become a powerful force that is difficult to defeat, the Shence Army is such an army, I believe there is nothing we can't do!" ”

The morale of the generals was stirred up, and they shouted one after another shouting long live the Shence Army. Xue Chongxun was also infected, so he said loudly: "After we train the army, what useful things should we do?" Some people say that we don't wear armor and hold on to disaster relief, so I ask you what you are doing to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? ”

The shouting gradually subsided, and the generals listened curiously to the fresh question.

"No one can answer? Then I tell you that if you don't have armor, the people who are sharp will take advantage of the fire to rob, and they will slaughter us like sheep! will step on our heads and spit on the untouchables...... As long as the Han people are weak, the Hu people will rob our family property and land, rape and adultery with our women, and treat us as ......military rations."

Immediately, the army was in an uproar, and Xue Chongxun asked when he saw this: "Are you willing to be the untouchables of the Hu people?" Willing to dedicate their sisters and children to be bullied and humiliated? Willing to be killed without the power to resist? ”

There was a lot of scolding around, and the ancestors of Siyi were scolded all over for nothing, and all kinds of unbearable filthy words filled the entire barracks, and some people also asked: "When will the King of Jin take us out?" ”

At this time, only Xue Chongxun and a few others could look calm, Xue Chongxun raised his hand to signal the generals to calm down, and said slowly: "Therefore, we must have strong strength, and discipline can make the four thousand people of the Shence Army twist into a rope and create an elite division." And I, the Han people, the military and the people, are the most popular people in the world, if they can unite as one to dominate the universe, why is it difficult? It is not the king's land under the whole world, and every inch of the sun shines on the king, making all those who hate us tremble with fear and tremble, which is what we should do...... Do you know why we are so persistent? ”

"Hooray...... Hooray......"

Xue Chongxun said: "The battle is not only on the battlefield, everyone wants armaments and military rations, and the people have to support it, otherwise how can you fight a war hungry?" The people in the disaster-stricken areas of Qizhou are in dire straits, and if we help them, we will be able to gain the hearts of the people and make us stronger and stronger. ”

As soon as he said that, the commanders of the battalions prepared to go. Because they were not going to fight, the army naturally threw all their armor and weapons in the barracks, and brought the iron shovels, hammers, firewood knives and other tools used for the march and camp, as well as mules and horses.

In less than half an hour, everyone was ready and assembled in the open space of the barracks.

"Let's go!" Xue Chongxun shouted, and there was no more nonsense. Yin Ci led the men and horses out of the camp.

The weapons were replaced with shovels and knives, and there was no armor, but no one in the onlookers would think of them as hard labor, and the traces of the army were still very obvious. Uniformly dressed and co-ordinated in a neat queue is something that only the military can do at this time.

The residents of Chang'an were very curious, and they had hardly seen such officers and soldiers used in war, and there were no long or short weapons, so why did they go and repair fortifications?

"Isn't that the shroud army that entered the city before, what are you going to do?" An old man asked on the side of the street.

A general on horseback turned around and said: "There was an earthquake in Qizhou, and the house fell down and buried a lot of people, and some can still survive when they are dug up." ”

When the people heard this, they were full of praise and shouted that they had made merits.

The equipment of the Shence Army and other Tang armies is almost a combination of infantry and cavalry, but the conditions of this kind of army with sufficient military expenses are better, everyone is on horseback, and some have to dismount to fight, so as to improve their wartime mobility ability. The infantry army has one person and one horse, usually does not ride and would rather walk to raise horsepower, when encountering an emergency military situation or participating in a rapid pursuit, only to ride a horse to keep up with the rapid movement of the cavalry, a day and a half of the horsepower is still competent, the main role is tactical maneuver.

But now they had to walk three hundred and fifty miles in a row, and they would definitely lose their horses if they rode their horses, so they ordered them to walk, and they did not sleep at night, and they were expected to reach their destination after marching for two days and two nights in a row. Yin Ci and other generals had to continue to boost morale, and the army was very tired, but no one fled, and they all insisted on going. G
