As the general next to him said, this newly formed recruit lacks clothes and guns, and it is very likely that he will be defeated the first time he goes to the battlefield. Although victory and defeat are commonplace, if the name is called Invincible, it is not plain to provoke others to laugh?

However, since everyone wanted Xue Chongxun to give him a name in person, it was difficult to refuse, so he had to bow his head and think about it. Clueless for a moment, when he looked up into the distance, the first thing he noticed was that the sky was full of snowflakes, floating between the vast sky and the earth. The north gate tower is in front, and the quaint city tower is in the snowflakes, which is full of classical atmosphere.

"It's called the Divine Army." Xue Chongxun blurted out a name that was more in line with the times. The generals all agreed when they heard it, and their words were generous and easy to remember...... However, their nickname of "Shroud Army" may be difficult to get rid of.

The group braved the snow and rode their horses to the school field, and sure enough, there was a group of people in black and green clothes standing on the white snow. The team stood neatly, the horizontal and vertical phalanx was half the size of a court, and although there was no armor, the clothes of the same color looked neat and neat. The first thing to practice in military training is the queue, and it is necessary to let people form a formation to form a collective consciousness before they can be called an army, and the army is not a master of martial arts, but originally relies on coordinated operations. This group of people has been practicing for nearly a month, and the formation is already in shape.

But Xue Chongxun knew that it would be a big tragedy to pull them out to fight, thinking that he was only such a useless person in his hands now, his face was naturally not very relaxed.

Xue Chongxun pulled the fur coat on his body, turned around and said, "It's cold, tell them to move, don't they all become snowmen when they stand like this?" ”

Everyone knew that this was a euphemism for him to see the effect of the training, and they all smiled. General Yin clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

The commander in charge of training the recruits is called Yin Ci, and he is now the commander of the right brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and at the same time temporarily leads the commander of the new army. Xue Chongxun was actually not very familiar with this person, because Yin Ci was just a team leader at the beginning, and it was difficult to enter Xue Chongxun's sight. However, Zhang Wulang appreciated him very much, and he had already released words to be promoted. Later, the personnel of the Flying Tiger Regiment was adjusted, Zhang Wulang was transferred to the Shanzhou Army as a guard, Bao Cheng as a captain, Li Kuiyong as the commander of the left brigade, and the position of commander of the right brigade was vacant.

I saw that he was twenty or thirty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a clean face with only a small beard, and an elegant air between his feet, but a bit of Confucian demeanor. Just looking at his appearance, Xue Chongxun felt that it might be more suitable for this person to follow the path of literature, but I heard that when he fought in front of the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace, he was very brave when he killed several people in a row...... Thinking about it again, Zhang Wulang also has a vassal and elegant temper, and it is normal to appreciate such a person as Yin Ci.

Now 2,000 new recruits have been recruited, and most of the generals have been transferred from the Flying Tiger Regiment. This incident made the generals realize that in addition to the functions of the guards, the soldiers and horses of the Flying Tiger Regiment were close to Xue Chongxun's officer team. This kind of thing is very normal, because they are the first group of old people to follow Xue Chongxun.

Yin Ci didn't say much, and he didn't have Bao Cheng's means of slapping his horse and showing his face, so he rode his horse from here to the school yard, got into an open-top carriage that served as a command car, and ordered to beat drums to simulate the march.

The sergeant on the "Knock, Knock ......" car beat a cowhide drum rhythmically to coordinate the pace of the troops and maintain a tight formation. Seeing this, Xue Chongxun said in his heart: This drum sound is similar to the modern military training shouting "one, two, one".

After a while, the heralds waved their flags and beat drums as trumpets, and the generals shouted for the regiments to change their formations and form various shapes, such as phalanxes, circles, and pinzigs.

Just like a beautiful dance, all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment around Xue Chongxun watched with great interest. Li Kuiyong's round head was still following the rhythm little by little as if it was beating the beat, Xue Chongxun glared at him speechlessly, and then he touched his head and hurriedly stopped.

Bao Cheng said with a smile: "General Yin has two strokes, and he has practiced well in just one month." ”

Li Kuiyong was speechless, and directly slapped him in the face with words: "It's a showcase, it's useless." ”

Bao Cheng glanced at Xue Chongxun with an embarrassed expression, and forced a smile and did not answer.

Xue Chongxun's eyes showed a hint of worry, and said, "Go and send a message to Yin Ci, tell him not to leave in unison, and let everyone take a look." ”

A general rode to the edge of the school field, waved his arms and shouted "hey", and only after attracting Yin Ci's attention did he give the order.

After a while, the Shouyi army was separated from the left and right, and stood opposite each other in two groups, and the officers and men each held long and short wooden sticks for training and lined up in two phalanxes.

At the sound of the order, six or seven horns of long and short lengths were blown in the open ......space, and then the drummers beat the war drums, and everyone shouted, and rushed together with long and short sticks, and after the short and short soldiers met, the two sides crackled and beat each other.

At this moment, Li Kuiyong suddenly laughed, and Xue Chongxun frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Li Kuiyong forcibly endured the ridicule and said innocently: "Look at their softness, I can't hold back my laughter for a while." Their posture is wrong, and the stance is strenuous but not lethal. This chopping and thorn have their own exquisiteness, and the crops are a reason, the arm strength and waist strength are well used, and the provincial body is strong enough; It's useless in the right place, his hands are full of blood blisters, but he can't do much work. ”

Bao Cheng said angrily: "As long as you are an expert, it is not too late for you to beat Xue Lang before you come to the class to get an axe, right?" How long has it been since the 'book bag' can take care of it? ”

Xue Chongxun heard the two of them arguing, guessing that the "book bag" might refer to Yin Ci's nickname. Bao Cheng is sleek: knowing that Li Kuiyong is still a little stupid, he is not afraid of offending him, but he helps Yin Ci to say good things in front of him, which is really a good thing.

Li Kuiyong was unconvinced and said: "I said it was a fancy style, don't believe it!" If you don't believe it, I will take a hundred people from the Left Brigade to with wooden sticks, and I can't break it if they let two thousand people attack, believe it or not? ”

Xue Chongxun spoke at this time: "Then try, the Flying Tiger Regiment is a cavalry, and you are allowed to ride horses." His words were orders, and a general went to inform Yin of his resignation, while Li Kuiyong turned around and went to lead the left brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment.

"Brothers, put away your weapons, go to the school yard to get sticks, and teach those boys how to fight." Li Kuiyong roared with a grin.

A general whispered: "The radish head really has to be tough." Xue Chongxun was silent after hearing this, just sitting on his horse and watching.

In the distance, the open-top carriage glanced over to this side, and had to order all the troops to form a formation and stand on both sides with the left brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment. There was an uproar on the school ground, probably because they thought that it was too nonsense for so many people to fight with a hundred people, and the number of people was twenty to one, and many people in the new army felt that it was a humiliation, and they had begun to curse and quarrel.

The generals over there crackled and shouted with their horsewhips, and finally let everyone settle up in formation. Once you're ready, you're still hedging on both sides as you did just now...... Two thousand people rushed a hundred.

The two groups of men and horses shouted and rushed together, not like they were closing in the middle and fighting each other like at first...... Now, with a face, the Left Brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment immediately broke through the defense line of the Shouyi Army and went straight in. Those recruits came up with wooden sticks to block, but they were beaten so hard that they couldn't stop it at all, and the sticks in the hands of those knights pointed like they had eyes, and the recruits were beaten so slow that they cried and cried and shouted that they had no power to parry.

The Chinese army shouted loudly: "Order, the fourth regiment will go out to the left and cut off the horse team!" ”

The drums rumbled and the flags were waved constantly, but tragically, the Flying Tiger Regiment's horse team was in chaos in the recruit camp, and its military orders could not be put into action in time. The lieutenant of the fourth regiment who received the order was about to shout loudly, but the positions of his men were already in chaos, where could they be coordinated? Everyone rushed in a mess, all of them were angry and murderous, but they were beaten as soon as they arrived.

Seeing this, Yin Ci sat down and did not give any more orders.

The recruits who were idle were just pounced, and some of them were beaten to pull the knights off their horses...... If this is a real battle, it will be over with one knife, how can it give you the opportunity to pull people under the beating?

"Change!" Li Kuiyong suddenly shouted, and the sound was so loud that every corner of the wide school field could be heard clearly. The cavalry of the 1st Brigade efficiently gathered in the center and formed a dense defensive formation. Let the surging new army surround him, but the contact surface is only so small, and there are no bows and arrows in this kind of group frame, no matter how many people there are, there is no way to take others.

Xue Chongxun looked at the large number of people in the school field who were in a hurry, and sighed and said, "That's it, it's over." ”

He suddenly turned his horse's head in a dejected manner, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw three horsemen coming from the city gate, and the person in the middle was not Li Yi, the general of the Jiannan Army?

Xue Chongxun glanced back at the scattered group of shroud soldiers, and said angrily: "It's okay to be embarrassed in front of outsiders!" ”

Li Yi rode over, glanced at the commotion on the school field, and said with his fists hugged: "I went to the state government to look for Xue Lang, Wang Shaobo said that you came to the north of the city, and I had to rush over if I had something urgent." ”

Xue Chongxun asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yi said eagerly: "I just received an order from the Jiedu envoy, and I have ordered the Jiannan Army to accompany Xue Lang to the west to reinforce Shancheng. ”

Xue Chongxun's dull face suddenly became vivid, a little more joyful, and he hurriedly asked: "The main force of the Tang Army on the southern front has defeated Tubo?" ”

"There is no result yet, but the Shancheng army has been holding the city for more than two months when the enemy is outnumbered and lacking supplies, and the festival can not abandon it, so the whole army of the Jiannan Army was ordered to move west to relieve the siege of the Shancheng army! Xue Lang also went with us. Li Yi said.

Xue Chongxun asked with some doubts: "Envoy Cheng Jiedu specifically said that he wanted me to go with me?" Now the defense of Shanzhou Prefecture is under the management of the Jiannan Army, and your whole army is dispatched, and this will become an empty city, so you are not afraid that Tuyuhun will send out light cavalry to attack Shanzhou? ”

Li Yi said hesitantly: "This is not known to my generation, since it is the military order of the Jiedu envoy, you only need to be ordered to attack...... Didn't Xue Lang recruit a new regiment of 2,000 people to train the army and let them defend the city. ”

Xue Chongxun glanced back at the school ground, and now he was restoring military discipline decently, but these people ...... If an enemy soldier really attacks, they can hold on to it.

"Without further ado, Shancheng is in danger, with the order of the Jiedu envoy, let's set off as much as possible!"

"Okay, General Li is going to gather the army, and I'll go back to the state capital to explain the matter and leave." Since he was going to save Zhang Wulang, Xue Chongxun naturally agreed with it neatly. As for the safety of Shanzhou City, although he is a assassin, he really doesn't care very much, and he doesn't have the consciousness of his parents at all. Even if the city is really breached, the account will not be counted on his head.

Xue Chongxun walked towards the city with all the soldiers, thinking to himself on the way: Although the southern front has not yet ended, Cheng Qianli must have received the news that the Tubo army is about to retreat, otherwise he has held out for so long, why did he suddenly change his mind? A person like Cheng Qianli is scheming, he should be a person who arranges everything before doing it, and it is absolutely impossible for his conscience to find out about his next decision.

As long as Tubo is ready to withdraw its troops, its servant state Tuyuhun will definitely run fast, they have spent so long in Shancheng that they have not reaped the benefits and are already miserable, I am afraid that it is impossible to have any strategic offensive thoughts. Thinking about it this way, Shanzhou is relatively safe.

Cheng Qianli's hand was just right, sending troops to rescue before the end of the war, which not only achieved the purpose of the operation, but also did not easily fall into the handle of not saving him if he died...... The so-called both being a and wanting to set up a torii is about that.

"Prepare some grain and grass, and the Flying Tigers will follow me west." Xue Chongxun thought about it and said to Bao Cheng.

He thought about it again: Shanzhou may not be dangerous, this speculation is very likely, but it is still speculation...... The enemy soldiers were dozens of miles away, and this empty city was not completely safe. So he decided to bring Cheng Ting with him, so he didn't have any worries, and Wang Changling, as his advisor, naturally had to follow.

In any case, there is hope that the matter will be resolved, and Xue Chongxun's mood has become a little lighter, and he is seeing that there is a plum tree next to the wall of the state government that is being developed in the snow, and the resolute flowers seem to bring the breath of spring.

……

Shancheng was dead silent, the enemy soldiers had long ceased to attack frequently, and everything seemed to be sealed under the snow. People are hiding in their homes, and there are few pedestrians on the streets of the market, which seems to be a dead city.

But the calm beneath the surface is not tranquil, and the undercurrents in the army are surging, and the shadow of the mutiny lingers, like the haze in the air.

In an opaque room, several generals were sitting around an oil lamp the size of a bean, and the light was very dim, as if it was not daytime but at night.

"Chen Tuanlian hijacked the chief general of the seclusion, it is the following crime, what we did was not a mutiny but a martyrdom, and there is no merit!"

"What's the use of all this empty talk? It's damn opposite, we just don't want to eat people. The gang of criminals in the camp are from other places, they naturally have no scruples in order to survive, we are born and raised in Shanzhou, how do we behave after eating the villagers? It is better for everyone to die happily, lest their parents and brothers be poked in the back. ”

"Brother Zhao, we can't use this excuse for the mutiny. Although this is the case, there is a clear reason, he Chen Tuanlian hijacked the main general is a rebellion, why don't we use it if the division is famous? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and discuss, when to do it! Luo Duwei has a lot of ink in his stomach, think about it thoroughly, let's just listen to you! ”

Luo Duwei, who advocated the famous division of the division, said unhurriedly: "There are four of us here, I have three regiments of soldiers and horses in my hands, and each of your captains has a regiment, a total of five regiments. Although there are few people and there is no advantage, don't say it to others again, one is to prevent leaks, and the other is to do it quickly! Chen Tuanlian's move is unpopular, and when the time comes, others will not necessarily help him, so let's not be afraid of fewer people, the odds are great. ”

When everyone heard him say one by one, they suddenly felt a little more confident and nodded yes.

Luo Duwei said again: "The swimming camp of the three regiments is a diehard loyalist of Chen Tuanlian, and it must be eliminated!" They are now on duty in Xicheng, and they will return to the West Barracks to rest when they are on duty. Let's seize this opportunity, after the time has passed, two sticks of incense, and then we will start: they will definitely relax when they return to the camp after a long day, which is a great opportunity. I, Captain Zhao, and Captain Huang concentrated the soldiers and horses of the fifth regiment to focus on exterminating the camp, and the other two regiments directly rushed to defend and capture the Xingyuan, control the center and rescue General Zhang. After these two things are done well, the winner is the winner! ”

"Brother Luo is right, in addition to his die-hard loyalty, there is also a general presiding over the overall situation, if an order goes down, what else is Chen Tuanlian fluttering?"

Luo Duwei said in a deep voice: "It's so decided, after the two incense sticks in the unitary time, take the bell of the Nancheng Tower as the signal, and when you hear the bell, you will lead the troops to go to the goal!" Remember, I said to the soldiers: Chen Tuanlian hijacked the general and committed rebellion, and we will make meritorious service and reward for meritorious deeds. ”

At this time, someone said worriedly: "We are on duty, abandon the civil war, what if the Tuyuhun people take the opportunity to rush in?" ”

Luo Duwei said: "There is no food to defend the city, there are no soldiers in the field, and Shancheng has long been a dead place." What do you care about now? ”

The people thought so, and they decided to leave the house one after another, and scattered. At this time, it was already the time of application, and it was less than an hour before the agreed time, and it was very efficient to complete the process from planning to implementation within one hour. Sure enough, the rebellion is still a powerful martial artist, and he doesn't care about the details at all, if it is a group of literati, he may not be able to make a decision after ten days and a half of discussion.

They are not strict about this matter, a few generals left their posts without permission and quietly gathered to do it without knowing it, as soon as the news left, they were accidentally heard by the people on Chen Tuanlian's side, and hurriedly went to report it.

Chen Shitang was shocked and angry when he heard this, although the news is not very accurate and there is no real evidence, but what evidence is there at this time? There is a general Jian yì said: "In the line of the subdued Yijia soldiers, summon them to come: as soon as they come, they will be killed; If you don't come, there must be a ghost in your heart, let's just seize the head and transfer troops to break it! ”

Another hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, you go to give orders, and others will sit and wait for death?" In this way, it will startle the snake and miss the opportunity. The regimental training should be decisive and immediately dispatch troops and horses to work directly. ”

"There is no evidence, if it's just a rumor, aren't we fighting in vain and opening our chests for Tuyuhun to stab?"

The generals looked at Chen Shitang: "Chen Tuanlian is decided!" ”

Chen Shitang paced a few steps left and right, and said ruthlessly, "Go to Xicheng Tower, order all battalions to be on guard, and summon them to meet in the city." ”G
