Wu Yingying was a little annoyed at first, but this was a direct indication of his vigilance, so couldn't he be tactful? He knew that Xiao Jiu's position was embarrassing, so he patted him on the shoulder first to show relief, and thought about countermeasures in silence. Shu is rich, which also creates the habit of Shu people's duty and happiness, but every time the world is crowded, Shu is not alone. But the Shu people are weak and more fierce, the Yuan Dynasty died in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the Shu people resisted the most fiercely, and almost the province was martyred under the sword soldiers, so that there were many Huguang to fill Sichuan. In the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, when China was almost destroyed for the third time, a total of 3 million strong men were drawn from a province in Shuzhong, accounting for 20% of the total number of strong men in the country.

Thinking of this, Wu Yingying sighed, "Okay, just set up a separate camp for these Shuzhong disciples, called Jincheng." Fifty veterans from the Ya Barracks and Jinfan Battalions should be selected and trained first. According to the old rules, the captain of the 100 is recommended by the centurion, and the captain also lets them be elected by themselves. ”

Xiao Jiu's face was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Wu Yingying actually fully agreed to Wang An's conditions, and then it was dark again, Wu Yingying completely let go of the Jincheng battalion's self-selected officers, and he didn't even hint, which meant that he gave up his plan to include this battalion in the Lanzhou lineage. Xiao Jiu couldn't help but feel sorry for these Shu men in his heart.

"Excuse me, my lord, how should I train myself?" In order to prevent him from fully comprehending Wu Yingying's intentions, Xiao Jiu asked again. The Lanzhou infantry army now has a bow and crossbow battalion, a sword and shield battalion, a spear battalion, a baggage battalion, and a Mo knife battalion, and each battalion has different training methods. Since this Jincheng battalion is a side army, how to drill is exquisite, and you can't teach the tiger and harm yourself. Although Wu Yingying didn't mention it, Xiao Jiu, who was a Shu person, wanted to avoid suspicion.

"There are many mountainous areas in Shuzhong, and the bow and crossbow are sharp, so they practice according to the bow and crossbow camp first, and even the crossbow cart can give them two. Wu Yingying frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "This group of people is the seed of officers who Wang An is preparing for future troubles, and officers above the rank of ten commanders are willing to come to the Ya military camp to learn military strategy, and they are willing to do so." ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't expect Wu Yingying to have no intention of hiding his selfishness, and he also opened the military strategy training of the Ya military camp to them, and was about to thank these Shuzhong disciples, and heard Wu Yingying say again: "Just having a bow and crossbow is not good for close combat, and each hundred-person team will select thirty elites to practice swords, shields, and halberds." After speaking, he patted Xiao Jiu's shoulder and said: "Brother can rely on life and death, Brother Xiao doesn't have to avoid suspicion because he is a Shu person, the military instructors are all selected for them as much as possible, and the supplies such as food, clothing, etc. in the Jincheng battalion are treated equally with my Lanzhou battalions." ”

Seeing him like this, Rao is a person like Xiao Jiu who has experienced vicissitudes of life can't help but sigh with emotion, and the words of thanks can't be spoken, anyway, this body and Lanzhou have become one, and they have a clear conscience.

In less than half a day, he brought out from the warehouse the military robes, armor, horizontal knives, large shields, bows, arrows, and bedding needed by 500 people, and the special sweaters of the Lanzhou sergeants were also a set of sweaters, just waiting for the Jincheng battalion to learn to take care of the horses, and also distributed 50 baggage carriages and two crossbow carriages.

Although Xiao Jiu did not convey Wu Yingying's meaning to Le Yang Fu and others, these leaders are not fools, they want to set up a camp alone, but others treat it as their own and there is no discrimination. So the whole Jincheng battalion secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were determined to compete with the old battalions in Lanzhou in terms of combat skills and merits, and they must not make people laugh.

Shuzhong Jincheng camp settled down, its own tooth army, Jinfan two battalions of skilled veterans came to supervise and teach a variety of martial arts formations, every morning before dawn, Jincheng camp will have to get up for breakfast, tidy up housekeeping, and then run circles around Lanzhou City, forty miles of training is considered to be active to open the body, after a little relaxation, by the Ya military camp officers come to teach the recitation of military regulations, after lunch a little rest, practice bow archery, driving carriages, marching in line and other combat skills, until the evening. All the battalions in Lanzhou have heard of this Jincheng battalion, which is a single recruit and a new recruit, and the qualifications in the army are not a handful of sweat and blood, and all the old battalions are extremely disdainful and contemptuous of the Jincheng battalion, and the instructors who have been transferred to train and train the Jincheng battalion have also been somewhat affected and are extremely strict.

Thanks to these Shuzhong disciples, they actually endured it for life, and their physical strength and combat skills increased day by day. As for the actual combat power, it can only be seen when it is pulled into the battlefield. The ten commanders and centurions of the Jincheng battalion are also quite interesting, it turns out that the prevailing competition in Lanzhou is difficult to implement in this group of people, and after they humble me, they actually discharged the ten captains according to the year, and the original Shuzhong had already been appointed as a centurion with the teaching positions such as benevolence and wine, and the Leyang Fu who was loyal to Wang An's entrustment was promoted to the captain. Even Wu Yingying smiled bitterly when he saw the list of officers in the newspaper, at this level of force, the old battalion casually pulled a fierce soldier and ten captains to chase after all the officers of the Jincheng battalion.

In the era of cold weapons, you can change everything, in the skirmish, the personal courage of the sergeant is definitely the factor that determines victory or defeat, to win the ten commanders with bravery, one is to advocate the style of martial arts, and the other is to establish small team tactics around the brave ten commanders.

The people of the Jincheng battalion did not know that they had inadvertently provoked the anger of the people, the Shu people had a round and kind temperament, and many Jincheng battalion sergeants also made friends with the sergeants of other battalions, and gradually knew the inappropriateness of such an independent battalion. The most stressful is the centurion and the ten-captain in the battalion, the Lanzhou military robes are decorated with different military ranks, and the same ten-captain with a white wolf's head on his chest walks on the street. It is common for officers of the same level in the city of Lanzhou to compete in martial arts, and the ten commanders of the Jincheng battalion can only go out of the camp as little as possible, and even some necessary things are entrusted to the sergeants to buy on their behalf.

The life in the barracks was like a year at the beginning, and after everything was on the right track, I felt that the years were like the day. The wax moon has passed in the snap of a finger, the snow is thinning, and the annual big competition that is popular in Lanzhou is held in an open field outside the state city.

This place was originally farmland, but everything withered in winter, it was a good martial arts field, the craftsman battalion had set up a good general platform in the north of the open space, marked the line with white ash, divided the place where the battalion was stationed, and drew a test of horsemanship, archery, short soldiers, long soldiers, marching, holding a lance and other combat skills in the field, among which the most enthusiastic for ordinary soldiers was the challenge of the ten commanders in the ring battle, the ten commanders need to take the challenge of the ordinary soldiers of the base camp or the outer battalion every day, once in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the winner can replace the position of the ten commanders. Even if he can't win, the lieutenant will consider whether to increase the sergeant's salary according to his combat skills. The military salary of the Lanzhou army is only linked to ability, even if you have not made an inch, as long as your ability is high, the military salary will be high. As for the war merits, they are cashed out with rewards after the war, and those with great war achievements are also more likely to be promoted.

Wu Yingying smiled and watched the sergeants below scramble on the martial arts field. Captain Mi Di and his opponent both rode horses and shot three shots and three hits. He and a sergeant were now firing arrows backwards one by one. All the sergeants started out at the target on horseback from sixty paces, and both of them were three shots and three hits, and then they retreated to seventy paces, eighty paces, and a hundred paces, all the same. Mi Di's archery skills were the best in the whole army, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear a man who was better at riding and shooting, and he was in a hurry, so he circled his horse one hundred and twenty paces away, and fired three arrows in succession, all of which hit the bull's-eye, and the sergeants and civilians watching from the sidelines cheered loudly.

On the outer edge of the exercise venue, the 300 sergeants of the Jinfan Battalion and the 300 sergeants of the Jincheng Battalion were wearing heavy armor all over their bodies, carrying marching packages and blades and arrows on their shoulders, and began to trot forward from the starting line. The sonorous sound of the armor was quite neat, but it was drowned out by the bursts of colorful voices from the spectators on the sidelines. For the two people who couldn't steal the limelight and were trying to ride and shoot, these sergeants who participated in the marching competition didn't care at all.
