The sergeant next to him walked over, looked at the falling wooden pillars, looked at Yue Qiang again, and said, "I said big brother, the prisoner car opened such a big opening, and you didn't run out?" ”

"Look at me now, where can I still run?"

"How heavy is the injury?" The sergeant asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Basically, the bones that should have been broken are broken."

The sergeant gave Yue Qiang a thumbs up, and then took out his tools to repair the prisoner car: "Normal, you dare to fight with the commander of my family, it's too normal, it's your luck not to burp on the spot." ”

Yue Qiang didn't know what to say, slowly moved his body, and suddenly remembered something: "I killed your commander, you don't seem to hate me much?" ”

He finished asking and looked at the sergeant carefully. He was dressed in an ordinary Zhao military uniform, which seemed to have no characteristics, but if he looked closely, he could clearly see the physical characteristics of the local people in the north. This sergeant should be from a nearby village, and he may still live next to Yuejia Village.

"Hate you? There's nothing to hate. The sergeant said, "I don't want to fight, I will go a few dozen miles ahead, and I will go home when I reach the ground." ”

"Huh?" Yue Qiang didn't understand, "Didn't you want the class teacher to return to the court?" In the army, you are still allowed to go home casually? ”

The sergeant gave him a strange look and said, "You are quite tall, aren't you a local, why don't you even know this?" ”

While repairing the prisoner car, he gave Yue Qiang a brief military introduction.

"There are a lot of wars now, and when we come out to fight, they are all temporary recruitment. Don't look at us as a thousand-man team, in fact, there are not many orthodox soldiers. There are only about a hundred people who came out of the capital Handan. ”

"These 100 or so people are all real people who are selected and trained, and they are official soldiers of Zhao State. But people like us, most of the people in the barracks, are hired. ”

"We usually work in the village, and we plant the land when we need it. When it was time to fight, the state gave a hundred gold, issued a set of basic equipment, and went to the battlefield. ”

"100 gold? So much? Yue Qiang asked.

"It's just a claim, it's just a claim. It's more effective than our own knife coins, and we can buy things wherever we go. The sergeant flashed the money wrapped around his waist and said, "So, we claim to be a thousand-man team, and when we walk back to Handan, there will be less than a hundred left." ”

"Like me, I'm a carpenter in the village." The sergeant danced a set of gadgets in his hand and said, "I have more strength, come out and make some money, if I don't die after the battle, the rest of the life will be much better." ”

Yue Qiang nodded, it turned out that Zhao's army was dominated by this kind of mercenary, and all the people were soldiers. Plain is farming, and when it comes to fighting, he picks up his weapons and puts on his equipment and becomes a sergeant.

"Actually, if you put it aside hundreds of years ago, it was all done by savages, and savages mean slaves, and now there is no such name. The main force is still people like us, also called wearing armor, which means putting on armor and being a soldier. But none of them are really regular armies. ”

"The real regular army came out of the capital city of Handan, and there were very few counties. Those guys have undergone rigorous training, and their physical strength and strength are much better than those of us mercenaries, and they are called Ruishi! ”

"Sharps?"

"That's right. Look, that's the one over there. The part-time carpenter gestured to a sturdy man in the distance.

After that, Yue Qiang had a further understanding of Zhao's army formation.

The conscription of the army is usually the conscription of the nearest conscription. This has two advantages, firstly, it saves the physical strength of the soldiers, and compared with sending troops from the capital city and participating in the nearest battle, there is no doubt that the nearby conscription can keep the sergeants in good combat effectiveness. The second point is to save the pressure of baggage transportation.

The soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved, and the war was fought with logistics. This method of conscription in the vicinity was very useful in the era of frequent wars. In particular, Zhao is still a country where all the people are soldiers, and the people are fierce, and any man in the prime of life has combat effectiveness above the average level.

Of course, the army can't be full of hired sergeants. Therefore, Ruishi plays an extremely key role as the core elite.

According to this carpenter who is a part-time soldier, the selection criteria for Ruishi are very high. Requirements: The armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the grain of three days, and the middle of the day and the hundred miles. He roughly explained that it required three layers of heavy armor and iron helmets, a strong crossbow of 800 catties, and three days of combat food, grass and weapons and equipment, and he could walk more than 100 miles in half a day.

Yue Qiang estimated that it seems that even his current self can barely meet this requirement. Especially the item of "the Twelve Stone Crossbow", I feel that the difficulty is too high.

Ruishi is also known as the selection of trainees, and there are only a few dozen of them in such a team of 1,000 people.

Their power is relatively large, at least at the rank of even senior. And in addition to fighting, some simple hand-to-hand combat skills are usually taught to ordinary armorers.

It is said that there are more powerful individual soldiers in the army, named Iron Eagle Ruishi, who are all cattle people who are one in a thousand, and even more powerful There is a mysterious class called "Black Clothes", but it is not something that the ordinary mercenary in front of him can understand.

"I don't know what level Zhao Yuan will be if he converts it to such a standard?"

"Are we in charge? Although his physical fitness is similar to that of an ordinary sharp, he is much stronger in fight. How much stronger it can be, we ordinary people have never seen those elites, and we don't know very well. "Then again, it's really rare that someone as weak as you can compete with our commander." ”

"Good to say, good to say, luck, luck."

The part-time soldier repaired the prisoner car, and then threw a chestnut cake to Yue Qiang.

Yue Qiang received it and was stunned for a moment. He hadn't eaten in a day, no, he hadn't seen a meal in months. Although this cake looks rough, it is indeed very fragrant, and the things of this era are all pure natural green pollution-free food.

"I said big brother, depending on what you mean, it is estimated that he will be escorted to the capital. I'm going home dozens of miles ahead, and I can't finish my rations, so I'll share a little with you. ”

"Thank you so much!"

The part-time soldier waved his hand: "Seeing that you are dying, you have to be a full ghost anyway." ”

The troops marched forward for a while, and sure enough, the sergeants were getting fewer and fewer, and the soldier who repaired the prisoner's cart went home. All the way to Handan City, there were fewer and fewer people in the army, and the rest were extremely burly and strong men. The armor they wore was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary sergeants, especially the powerful crossbows they carried, which were remarkable at first sight. It is estimated that it is the so-called Ruishi.

Ma Fujun Zhao Hao was no longer in the army and returned to the city ahead of schedule. His own army slowly followed behind, and when he came to the gate of Handan City, he was unexpectedly blocked by the sergeant guarding the gate.

There was a commotion ahead, and Yue Qiang looked over and found that there were many people blocked outside the city gate. There were merchants, carriages, soldiers, and these people had something in common, they all had horses.

Won't the horses let them into the city?

Hearing the sergeant next to him, he learned that there was a horse plague nearby, and all horses were not allowed to enter the city, whether they were rich merchants, nobles with status, or soldiers.

The guards were harsh and severe, and many people had gathered at the gates. Now that this army of about 100 people has come, it is even more chaotic.

Any horse would be stopped, even the military horse pulling the prisoner's cart.

When several escort sergeants next to him were worried. An imposing scribe led a white horse to the city gates, where he was stopped by the guards.

This scribe has a dashing demeanor, and the tall white steed beside him is very eye-catching.

He walked up to the guard and said, "My name is Gongsun Long. I'm going into the city. ”

Guard: "People can enter the city, and the horses will stay." ”

Gongsun Long asked politely, "Why?" ”

The guard coldly stretched out his hand and pointed to the notice next to him: "Horse plague is rampant, so as long as it is a horse, it is not allowed to enter the city." ”

Gongsun Longdao said politely: "But my white horse is not a horse." ”

The guard said coldly: "Why is the white horse not a horse?" ”

Gongsun Long originally looked very polite, but suddenly his momentum skyrocketed, not only did he speak several times more loudly, but he also flew with spittle, and he asked, "Is a snail a cow?" ”

"It's not."

"Are cockroaches wolves?"

"It's not."

"Is soy sauce oil?"

"It's not."

"Is the bride a mother?"

"It's not."

"Is a spider a pig?"

"It's not."

"Is Gongsun Long a dragon?"

"It's not."

"Is ****** a horse?"

"Isn't it?"

He asked a long circle, then patted the guard on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Then I'll ask you again now, is the white horse a horse?" ”

Without waiting for the stunned guard to answer, Gongsun Long had already led the high-headed white horse and swaggered into the city.

Everyone outside the city looked stupid. (To be continued.) )
