"Liutao? Wu Feng": "Where the use of soldiers is essential, there must be military vehicles, horsemen, galloping formations, and selecting fronts. "Xi Qi is strong with tricks, Wei is fighting with martial arts, Qin is winning with sharp soldiers, Han has three rivers chivalrous swordsman wizards, Wu is called to relieve trouble, Qi is called to be determined, Tang is said to be jumping, it is the alias of all choosing the front, and the victory of the soldiers is not preceded by this. Where the army has both, the general will be in the battalion, each selects elite soldiers, and those who must be outstanding in Qiao Jian and skilled in martial arts are selected by another team, about one out of ten people, and one thousand people are selected for ten thousand. The choice of widows should be done properly, and the choice of the heart and mind will be charged.

As the name suggests, the "selection battalion" in ancient times referred to the commandos and death squads composed of elite soldiers. Zhao Ta This is the first time to organize a death squad, because he knows that it is also the first time for the loyal army to deal with a heavily fortified fortified city like Lingzhou City, although Xiazhou City is also a strong city, but the defense is lax, the number of defenders is very small, and the loyal army uses surprise soldiers to sneak attack, so it can be easily successful, but it can't be copied with that method to deal with Lingzhou City.

And now he must show morale and prestige in this battle, first, it can deter Western Xia, make him timid, and dare not fight again, so that he can bargain in negotiations later; Second, by virtue of this battle, he should establish his position in the army, so that those arrogant and fierce generals in the Western Army will no longer dare to challenge his authority, and also lay the foundation for his future actions. That's why he has only been preparing for such a long time in this battle, and when attacking the city, he must go down with a drum, give Xia Jun a thunderous blow, and never give them a chance to turn the tables!

"Salute!" More than 200 people lined up in two columns and saluted the prince under the leadership of Wu Tao, the commander of the third battalion of the tiger general. Zhao Ta walked over and returned the salute one by one. Most of these team members are from the old army of Xiangyi, half of them are children of Xiangyi, and even his childhood playmates.

"Dabao, are you ready, is there anything else at home that you can't rest assured?" Zhao Ta walked up to a sturdy man, patted him on the shoulder, looked him up and down, and asked. In addition to their weapons, each of them wore a full steel helmet on his head, but instead of the leather armor commonly used by the loyal soldiers, he wore 'chain armor'. That is, the chain mail that we often hear in commentaries, but it is only half-bodyed, only a cuirass.

This kind of armor was not invented by the Chinese, but was introduced from Persia in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and it is also a foreign technique and made in China. The armor is made up of countless small steel rings densely hinged with each other to form a steel mesh, and several layers of steel mesh are superimposed on each other, and at the same time, the surface of the steel mesh is also decorated with a dense layer of fish-scale steel armor leaves, and there are a whole piece of steel shoulder guards on the shoulders, and there are two thick heart goggles on the front and back chests. This armor is much lighter than other metal armor, and it is flexible armor, which is more comfortable to wear than other metal armor and does not affect movement, and can withstand the slashing of ordinary swords or the fire of bows and arrows.

"Second master, it's all ready, two guns, one long and one short, and a quick knife are enough!" Dabao smiled and said, "My father and mother are not very old at home, and the work in the fields is still moving, and the second and third treasures are old enough to help." It's just a letter from home a few days ago. said that I gave birth to the second child, let me give it a name, the second master, you also know that I have two sons, so I want to ask the second master to marry a name! ”

"Son, girl? Why didn't you say it earlier, because I was afraid of inviting everyone to drink and break the bank! Zhao Tan punched him and laughed.

"Second master. This time, my daughter-in-law was angry and gave birth to a son! I'm not afraid to spend that money. It's just that everyone is busy and puts it down, and when they enter Lingzhou City, I'll pick a big restaurant for everyone to make up! Dabao Dalu said with a smile.

"Son! Hello son, there is a successor, he was born when we defeated the Western Xia in the Western Expedition, and he was called Pan Undefeated, how! Zhao Ta thought for a moment. …,

"A good name, it's called undefeated, my Xiangyi army is undefeated, loyal and brave, a good omen, thank you for the second master's name!" Dabao repeated his thanks, "Listen, everyone in the Xiangyi Army, if I can't go home, please inform my wife and children of this name on my behalf..."

"Zhuang Qin, you also entered the Xuanfeng camp, you were reluctant to come to my pro-army at the beginning, they didn't force you this time, right?" Zhao Ta approached another person and asked with a smile, this person he knew was a soldier selected from the 'four major battalions' in Beijing during the second expansion of the army, and he was not happy when he heard that the military law of the Xiangyi Army was strict, and he wanted to run several times on the road, but he was arrested, so Zhao Ta asked this question.

"The prince laughed, and no one forced him, everyone volunteered to enter the camp!" Zhuang Qin was mentioned by the prince in front of everyone about the ugly things in the past, and said with some embarrassment.

"Ha Luha, joke, I have seen everything after you arrived in our army, in the battle of Yamato Fort, you killed six members of the Xia army, and won the banner of Li Jifeng with all the brothers; In the first battle of Fengzhou, you were the head of the gang, the first to attack the head of Fengzhou City, promoted to the team leader, the official transferred to the Three Realms, and was protected by Yoshiro; In the first battle of Turbidity Wheel River, you led your own team to resist the Cha Ge pro-army, killed no less than ten Xia troops, and rose to the head of the capital because of merit, and received Wu Yilang. He is the pillar of our army! Zhao Ta said what he did in one go.

"Lord Wang, the prince still remembers the little things that his subordinates have done, it's really embarrassing!" Zhuang Qin is such a big man and the corners of his eyes are moist, "Lord Wang, after his subordinates joined the army, there was only the old mother in the family, and the two younger brothers were still young. ”

"Zhuang Dutou, you are too worried, the prince has already ordered the construction of a new village in Xiangyi to settle the widows and disabled brothers of the brothers who died in the army; There has long been an order, the families of the brothers or after retiring are willing to enter the Zhuangzi, unconditionally take in, even if you don't participate in the election, it's okay, but the prince is afraid that everyone thinks that there is a sense of 'coercion', so he has not said it publicly, but those who are interested will never refuse! Zhao Xin, who accompanied the prince, stepped forward to explain.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Zhuang Qin saluted again and retreated into the queue, with a look of determination on his face, obviously ready to repay his kindness with death.

"If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can say it, whether you live or die after this battle, this king will solve it as appropriate, but remember that you are going into battle to kill the enemy, and only by leaving a useful body can you kill the enemy, do not indulge in this state of retribution for death, this king needs you to come back alive, your wife and children are looking forward to your homecoming, the Great Song Dynasty needs you warriors to protect your family and defend the country, this king is waiting to drink with everyone in Lingzhou City..." But Zhao Ta was shocked when he saw it.

When fighting a war to the point of madness, it will make people have an irrepressible sense of pleasure, and people who do not go through ruthless fighting will never be able to experience this taste, just like fishing is addictive, he no longer wants to eat fish, but to experience this pleasure, to keep killing. This kind of brave and fearless mental state is of course precious on the battlefield, but if it is not well controlled, it is completely hypnotized by this emotion, which sometimes causes a lot of unnecessary casualties.

"We will be as the prince wishes, go down in a battle, and drink with the prince in the city!" The armies responded in unison.

"Brother Yao, isn't this Prince Yan a little..."Liu Guangshi, who was standing in the first team behind the commando, touched Yao Pingzhong and said softly, of course they are exceptions, they are not volunteers, but they are assigned to this crime and meritorious service, but they and those who violated discipline together are all assigned to the second echelon of support tasks, he has the highest rank in the selection battalion, but he can only do the work of a soldier. …,

"Who knows that Lu Dao, being a soldier and eating food is an errand to sell his life, and the picture is to fight for a famous background and seal his wife and son, he is strange in the army, as long as there are some unreliable things that can coax people to work hard for him!" Yao Pingzhong also saw something rare for the first time, and said a little strangely.

"Lord Wang, I also have something, can you tell me?" The two men were muttering, but one of them came out and shouted.

"Of course you can, though!" Zhao Ta saw that it was Han Shizhong, and said with a smile, I don't know what kind of moth this kid is.

"Lord, I don't want anything else, I just want this credit to really fall on us, can the prince dare to agree?" Han Shizhong said, but these words were provocative in the ears of the loyal soldiers.

"General Han, the law and discipline in my loyal and brave army are strict, and there will be no meritorious deeds, let alone merit and unrewarded, and there will be no punishment!" Zhao Yi glared at Han Shizhong and said.

"What are you doing, I'm asking the prince is not you, are you bigger than the prince's official?" Han Shizhong was not afraid of him, and said disdainfully.

"Of course you can, if you can make meritorious deeds, not only will you be exempted from your sins, but you can also be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and this king will never lose your merits!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, don't argue with him, and said to Han Shizhong with a smile.

"Does the prince dare to high-five the young general?" Han Shizhong didn't appreciate it, and still said unrelentingly, he was really scared.

At that time, Han Shizhong's department built a mountain from heaven on the border of Song and Xia, but it was soon captured by the Xia army. This was a common thing on the border of mutual tug-of-war, but Han Shizhong felt that it was a shame, he got up in the middle of the night and touched the wall alone, and cut down two Xixia people with a knife in his hand. When he went down to the city, he thought that the murder should be evidenced, otherwise the official would not admit it when he went back, so he turned around and cut off the two heads, and cut off two pieces of the felt of the parapet wall that fell from the sky and brought them back to the camp. He has done this kind of well-founded thing three times, but Tong Guan didn't admit it, didn't reward it, and everyone couldn't see it after the end, so he jointly asked for merit, and gave him a 'Jinyong lieutenant', which ranked second in the military rank of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was countdown!

"The eldest husband has a promise, why don't you dare!" Zhao Ta stepped forward and raised his palm to strike Han Shizhong hard.

"Okay, the prince is willing to go to the city with all the brothers of the forward, as long as he doesn't die, he will be the first to go to the head of Lingzhou City!" Han Shizhong knelt down on one knee and said... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
