The barracks are now not divided into civilian camps and military camps, but into left and right camps, and everyone has put on military uniforms.

Before he could get close to the barracks, he heard cheers and laughter.

Compared to the atmosphere in the city and the busyness of the civilian officials, the barracks were relaxed.

Zhang Xiaoqian took the officers to the barracks to find the general in charge to explain the chores, and then hurried to the school field, the excitement in the school field has not yet dissipated, and the cheers are accompanied by the violent sound of horses' hooves.

Zhang Xiaoqian squeezed in, and saw that there were only ten horses galloping in the wide school yard, and the soldiers on the horses were tall, wearing light armor, equipped with horns, bows, lines, guns, hammers, sticks, and other strange weapons, they were very close but their speed did not slow down in the slightest, their bodies swayed undulatingly, and they went around the stakes with the galloping horses.

With the roar of the iron whistle, the soldiers standing on both sides raised their bows and crossbows to shoot out bamboo arrows, and immediately ten people leaned over almost at the same time, with different agile postures, which caused the onlookers to shout and cheer and their emotions fluctuated.

Passing over the arrows, the soldiers on the horses did not get up, but directly opened their horned bows and shot at the straw men of different sizes set up in front of them, and the arrows hit the vital point.

With the cheers, the cavalry crossed the grass target, and they only got up with their bows bowed, and they somehow put away their horn bows, and they already held weapons in their hands, this time the weapons were different for everyone, there were guns, knives and sticks, and they roared and rushed into the straw men in front of them with a single hit.

The shouts in the school yard were like thunder, and Zhang Xiaoqian's face was red with excitement in it, and he didn't leave reluctantly until the servants behind him poked him.

"The cavalry is really imposing." The noise behind leaving the barracks became quieter and quieter, and Zhang Xiaoqian still talked about this, "Look at their horses and those weapons." ”

Which man doesn't want a white horse and a golden saddle from the martial emperor, and a hundred thousand long Yang.

"Zhang Xiaoqian, you have to die, these cavalry are strictly selected."

"Yes, it is said that in addition to height, there are also requirements for how long the arms are."

"Zhang Xiaoqian, you're too short."

The fellow officers laughed and laughed.

Zhang Xiaoqian was not convinced: "This is only the first batch of light cavalry combat, and the second batch of scouts." The hand holding the reins clenched, and at that time he must try to be elected.......

"Zhang Xiaoqian, Zhang Xiaoqian, are the rebels coming?"

When the people on the side of the road saw the officers, they immediately sent out repeated inquiries, interrupting Zhang Xiaoqian's imagination.

Zhang Xiaoqian took a deep breath and replied repeatedly: "No, don't worry." The horse galloped past the people, and the reins in his hands were tightened.

He wants to be a warrior who goes to kill the enemy, and uses his sword and gun to appease the people, not words.

"What's wrong with words?" Motoyoshi stood under the porch and looked at him, frowning.

If Mrs. Wu Shao is an immortal, Yuan Ji is her messenger in the world, and her status in Dou County is very high, not everyone can come into contact with it, but although Zhang Xiaoqian is just an errand soldier, it is not difficult to see Yuan Ji.

Motoyoshi is the life-saving benefactor of him and their village, and he has the love to fight together.

Zhang Xiaoqian stood in the courtyard with his cheeks puffed: "Anyway, I don't want to be an errand soldier, I want to be a soldier, I want to go out of the city to kill the enemy, Master Yuan, don't you want to choose the second batch of cavalry, let me try." ”

Yuan Ji said: "If you want to kill the enemy, you don't have to go out of the city, you have to be a soldier with a knife and a gun, and your words are just as powerful." ”

Zhang Xiaoqian's mouth: "Master Yuan, don't coax me with words." ”

Yuan Ji smiled: "What am I coaxing you for?" Xiaoqian, don't underestimate the power of the people and words, you can kill thieves if you stabilize the hearts of the people. ”

Zhang Xiaoqian looked at him and was skeptical.

"Ten panicked people can destroy a city, but ten unarmed people inspired by words can kill an enemy." Yuan Ji said, "Zhang Xiaoqian, you are an errand officer of Dou County, a person from Dou County, the people of Dou County trust you, you can appease them, you can also make them soldiers, you are powerful at killing the enemy alone, or is it powerful with hundreds of soldiers by yourself?" ”

In this way, Zhang Xiaoqian straightened his chest and his eyes lit up.

"Xiaoqian, whether we can kill the enemy wholeheartedly outside depends on whether the rear is stable." Yuan Ji said, patting him on the shoulder, "The young lady also often said, only with the people can there be soldiers, and only then can there be real stability and invincibility, whether we can go out of the city and fight invincible, whether Dou County is unbreakable depends on you." ”

Zhang Xiaoqian's voice was loud: "Master Yuan, don't worry." ”

Looking at the young man who walked in like a fighting, leaving as steadily as a goose, Motoyoshi smiled and turned around and went indoors.

The room is very lively, the kumquat in this hall takes the woman to watch the juggling, the juggler holds a chirping bird in his hand, the kumquat takes the woman's hand and caresses it, the juggler takes his hand back, shakes it in front of him, with the kumquat just the right exclamation, the juggler stretches his hand to the woman's hand again, and the woman touches it is no longer a bird, but a round and lost dried fruit.

The woman smiled and picked up the dried fruit, put it in her mouth, and ate it.

Yuan Ji retracted his gaze and walked to the other side, Li Minglou sat in front of the desk and looked down at something, the table was full of large and small books, there was a master book opposite, and the officials such as Yu Qian were sitting, and they were all holding the booklet in their hands.

"What's the matter with Xiao Qian?" Li Minglou asked.

Yuan Ji said: "If you want to join the second batch of cavalry, I have already persuaded him." ”

Li Minglou smiled.

The chief bookkeeper frowned and said: "The second batch of cavalry is really not good, the cost is too high. ”

He shook the booklet in his hand.

"A man should be equipped with three horses, and he should also be equipped with a veterinarian, a groom, and the consumption of bean fodder and wheat grass, and one cavalry is comparable to raising ten people."

Li Minglou asked Yu Qian: "According to such a configuration, can we still raise another 200 cavalry?" ”

The dark and thin Yu Qian looked timid, although he was in charge of Li Minglou's money, he rarely came to Li Minglou to speak, but his words did not have the slightest condensation, and he immediately answered: "The people's consumption can be reduced by three points, but it can last for five months at most." ”

"What is the movement of Andezhong's rebels?" Li Minglou looked at Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji walked to the map and pointed out at the location of Huainan Road: "The east side has almost been lost, in addition to the soldiers and horses from the west of Zhejiang, the hidden thieves on the Xuanwu Road side are also very likely to invade Huainan Road, but the news of the scouts, An Dezhong's soldiers and horses have avoided the vicinity of our Dou County." ”

The master bookkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and muttered something in his mouth.

"It's not like they're not moving us." Yuan Ji drew a half circle on the map, "An encirclement will be formed outside Dou County." ”

"How long will it take?" Li Minglou asked.

Yuan Ji said: "It depends on the speed of other places. ”

At present, the speed is very fast, and the main book and the rest of the money do not need to look at the map to know, and the news from outside is being sent day by day, and it is almost not long before there is news of the loss of the city.

"Less than five months." Motoyoshi gave a conclusion.

"Then there won't be enough time to train cavalry." The master said happily, and after finishing speaking, he raised his hand and gave himself a small mouth.

What a joy this is! It's really a comfortable life, why not eat minced meat!

Motoyoshi didn't laugh, and continued with the words of Lord Bookkeeper: "Time is not the main reason, we don't have enough war horses, and we don't have enough blacksmiths to build weapons. ”

There are only so many war horses in Dewey's barracks in Dou County, and the weapons are all brought from the prefecture, Dou County is not qualified to make them by himself, and the blacksmiths in the small town can only draw scoops according to the gourd, and the quantity and quality cannot meet the demand.

From her occupation of Dou County to the present, the people who took in her barely supported a military camp, and the hoarded materials were enough to feed the soldiers and civilians in Dou County, but there were almost no materials for the war.

Li Minglou sighed lightly, Dou County is still too small.

......

......

When the sound of horses' hooves was heard, the children running in the fields raised their heads vigilantly, and this time they did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became nervous.

The anomaly made the people who were working look up too.

There was a team of soldiers and horses galloping on the road, it was their soldiers and horses from Dou County, but this time their bodies were stained with blood, and the middle horse was still carrying two people, wearing military uniforms, covered in blood, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.....

Is it encountering an enemy fighting? The rebels are already approaching Dou County?

The people in the fields were panicked and looked at the chief, and the chief who was carrying the gong was also nervous, but there was no order to return to the city.

They work outside, and there are soldiers and horses on guard in front and behind, and they will warn them of danger.

Li Chang took a few deep breaths: "It's okay, keep working." ”

Having said that, the gong that was clenched in his hand did not dare to let go.

The people were worried but obeyed the order and bowed their heads and continued to work, the days were not the same as before, and they did not know how to live if they did not obey the order.

The group of soldiers and horses rushed along the street and rushed into the county office, helping the two wounded soldiers down, one soldier was unconscious, and the other barely opened his eyes to see a person in an official robe, and a person in a black robe and a black umbrella appeared in sight.....

Legend has it that was the case, and with the last of his strength he struggled to pounce on the figure.

"Young Lady Wu, please go and save the city, Gwangju Mansion is about to be breached." He burst into tears.

Crying that his relatives are now dead or alive in the city, crying for his comrades who died all the way, crying for his comrades who raised their swords and guns to him, crying for despair who don't know what to do.
