In the third section, Wu Ming and Liao Gang, Zhang Hao greeted him, and walked towards the guard camp, more than a hundred soldiers were practicing vigorously on the grassland, Yang Xiong also stood by and watched, and when he saw Wu Ming coming, he hurriedly gave a salute and said, "My lord." ”

Wu Ming waved his hand and said, "You go on, I'm just coming to take a look." "At this time, the sun has risen high, but as winter approaches, this sun does not have the slightest heat, but gives people a cool pleasure. The black armor army on the opposite side had finished training, and Li Yuan was riding on a horse, scolding and shouting to close the team. The black-armored sergeants lined up in a phalanx amid his shouting and scolding, listening to him brazenly speak there. With the sound of a gong, dozens of men carried large barrels and came out of the back camp with a clatter.

It's time for breakfast.

Yang Xiong waved the order flag, and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were sweating from their early practice, and at this time, they scattered the flags, and when they scattered, they surrounded those guys. The team, which looked neat just now, suddenly became chaotic. Yang Xiong looked at it, shook his head, and then sighed softly. Wu Ming was surprised: "What, Brother Yang, is there any problem?" ”

Yang Xiong put the flag in his arms, and then said, "My lord, look over there?" Wu Ming looked in the direction he was pointing. On the opposite side, it was Li Yuan's Black Armor Army, the number of Black Armor Army was dozens of times that of the Guards Battalion, and the camp was naturally much larger. At this time, thousands of black-armored sergeants were lining up in several long lines, taking turns to go to the gang's to receive breakfast. Although these queues are far away, they are orderly and not chaotic at all.

On the side of the Guards Battalion, there were only about 100 people, but the soldiers rushed up, surrounded the six men, and made a noise and shouting. These guys are just ordinary soldiers, how can they be the opponents of these warriors, and it is not good to offend this group of masters, they are already in a hurry.

In the past, the Guards Battalion was a separate battalion, and there was a special retinue responsible for daily life, so naturally they would not pay attention to this aspect. Although the Xuanwu team did not have many retinues, as a martial artist, it was naturally impossible to be as disciplined as the Black Armor Army. In this comparison, Wu Ming himself also blushed a little, and said: "Brother Yang, you will have to pay more attention to this matter of rectifying military discipline in the future." Fortunately, these brothers are all from civilian backgrounds, and without the arrogance of those big families, this matter of rectifying military discipline should be much easier. ”

The importance of discipline in an army is naturally self-evident. In the past, Wu Ming didn't want to care about these trivial matters, and Yan Hou naturally had to worry about these things, and he also mixed with the mentality of enjoying the shade under the big tree. Secondly, a large part of the warriors in the Guards Battalion are from the big families, and these people have always been free and casual, so it is natural to use the habits of the army to restrain them. But now that there is only half of the Xuanwu team left in the entire Guards Battalion, and they are all composed of civilians, Wu Ming has also become the actual leader of this team, and these problems are naturally solved.

Yang Xiong nodded, took out the flag again, and said loudly: "Everyone will line up according to the newly divided team and come one by one." The soldiers of the Guards Battalion suddenly dispersed, and several men from the baggage battalion breathed a sigh of relief and wiped their cold sweat with palpitations.

Yang Xiong is worthy of being the queen of Humen Yang, and he does have a hand in governing the army, and after a while, these soldiers are lined up in a neat line, and they go to get today's breakfast one by one. There were not many people in the first place, and it was distributed in a short time, and when Wu Ming went, all the soldiers received breakfast, and they sat around in twos and threes, eating and talking at the same time, but they were also happy.

He glanced at a few large buckets and found that there was not much left of the white-flour steamed buns, but there was still a thick layer of beef and mutton in the bucket, and there was a lot left. He pointed to the meat and asked, "Why is it so Lang Fei?" ”

When the man saw that it was Wu Ming, he served him steamed buns and meat, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord doesn't know, Lord Tao said that everyone has worked hard recently, so he specially added food for everyone." Wu Ming was taken aback, this Tao Ziqian has always been known for being meticulous and calculating, why is he so generous today.

Another man frowned and said, "Lord Wu, these are all kindnesses from the Southern Barbarian King, and your Excellency has to taste them." Wu Ming took the steamed bun and meat from his hand, tore a steamed bun, sandwiched a thick piece of beef in it, and then took a bite, only to feel that the meat was fragrant and tender, and it was indeed delicious. He swallowed the meat and steamed buns and said, "Not bad." ”

The man smiled: "This is natural, freshly slaughtered, and it must be much better than stored." Wu Ming suddenly realized, no wonder this Tao Ziqian is so generous, the 50,000 cattle and sheep stipulated in the last agreement, to make it clear, are the family trophies that Pabri indirectly extorted, and now the right to use it is still in his hands, Tao Ziqian will naturally not be heartbroken when he slaughters it.

Thinking of this, he also sat down happily and ate slowly. As soon as he ate two bites, there was a commotion in the camp of the Black Armor Army opposite. When I looked up, I saw a black-armored knight hurrying into the camp, shouting from afar: "Emergency military report!" Wu Ming was taken aback, could it be that something happened again?

The scout galloped all the way, ran to Li Yuan, and dismounted. Wu Ming was far away, and he could only see the two of them talking non-stop, and after a while, he saw Li Yuan rushing towards him, and when he was still at the camp gate, he was shouting: "Lord Wu, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

It seems that something really happened, and the trace of good mood that Wu Ming had just raised suddenly disappeared, he greeted him and said, "Lord Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yuan stopped, but his face was extremely solemn, and said: "Just now, the spies reported that twenty miles away from us, about 3,000 Persian troops were found, and there were hundreds of elephants in them, which is likely to be the world-famous 'invincible 10,000 people' in Persia. ”

"What." Wu Ming was taken aback. He had also heard of the Persian military system, and unlike the chaotic system of the Southern Barbarians, Persia was a country close to the combination of church and state, and almost all the citizens of the country believed in the Astronomical religion. The whole country was divided into five military regions, and the commanders of each military region were called military marquis, who were directly responsible to the emperor. Each marquis had a minimum of 50,000 men, i.e., five armies, each with 10,000 men. Above the princes, there are two grand dukes, namely Grandpa Wen and Grandpa Wu, who are in charge of civil affairs and military affairs respectively.

The Persian Emperor personally commanded a team of 10,000 people, composed of outstanding soldiers selected from each military region, and once there was battle damage, it was replenished. This 10,000-strong squad was well-armed and had a clear sign of it, and that was the Persian war elephants. More than ninety percent of the elephant soldiers in Persia were concentrated in this 10,000-strong team.

Because of its super combat power and well-equipped, it is also known as the "invincible 10,000 people".
