At the end of October, it is the cold winter season.

The autumn rain is resting, and the wind is cold. Dark clouds have become the norm. The sky tentatively rained down a series of frosts, and the earth was gray and white, and the five colors were lost.

The mountain is cold, and a bird's nest is lonely on the branches. In a trance, a large number of persimmon trees on Hutou Mountain in Liangshan Mountain clenched a little frozen red lantern in the autumn wind, and the indescribable wandering in the forest was turbulent, and a duel between the wind and the autumn leaves was deadlocked, and it would wither at any time.

For more than ten days, Chao Gai witnessed the process of Liangshan turning green and yellow after entering the winter. The green mountains and green waters are still there, but they lack the vitality of spring and summer.

In addition, he also participated in the development of the plan to expose Fang La's private mission. The attack on Zhu Mian was proposed by him, and if he didn't kill him, he would teach him a lesson. The turmoil in Bianliang City, Tokyo, is guided by someone, and it is real and false.

Originally, he was also denounced in the trajectory, and suddenly he was exposed. It quickly occupied 52 counties in eight prefectures, and these eight prefectures were Shezhou, Muzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, Xuanzhou, and Runzhou. The total number of troops under his command is about 300,000, and it is a rich land with many talents.

With the appearance of Chao Gai, Fang La faced the imperial court two years in advance.

As for whether he has the ability to resist the attack of the imperial court, it depends on Fang La's means. Presumably, he should also shake off for a while and fight against the imperial court.

As the saying goes, friends who die do not die in poverty.

Chao Gai handled it calmly, and planned to send someone to contact Fang La to sell illicit salt for mutual benefit. Despite the sea, the best sea salt is still very popular.

Only the Song Dynasty was full of smoke and chaos.

Only then did the Chao family army have time to go overseas and expand its territory.

During this time, Chao Gai personally participated in the selection of soldiers in the process of inspection. Weapons secretly made in military factories are distributed and run-in training is carried out. Among them, the training of the pro-health camp is the earliest and the most effective.

He was running around and was so busy that he was flying. Several ladies were not idle.

Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi, and Yelu Tali are the three female generals who mainly focus on the army. The Tiger Girl Army was put in order. Renamed the Iron Lady Army, there are a total of twelve field battalions, guard battalions, tiger girl battalions, women's battalions, logistics battalions, reconnaissance battalions, medical battalions, etc., with a number of more than 8,000 people.

This is due to the fact that the people and herdsmen who migrated from the northeast did not come to rob them. Female soldiers are always being recruited. If it weren't for the elite route. Select the most elite female men, and the number can soar to twenty or thirty thousand.

The most amazing thing is that there are several women, who are strong in martial arts and have unique skills. can even fight with three female generals and be appointed deputy commander.

Master Li had a big belly, and in addition to leaving a group of backbones, the military band he trained quietly broke up and reasonably incorporated into various armies to form a military band. Recruit men and women who are good at musical instruments or talented, and even musicians.

Li Qingwan is not far behind, and the improvement of the bow and crossbow has never stopped. It's just that since pregnancy, I haven't been as obsessed as before. During this time, based on field trips, I had ideas about catapults again.

Li Qingzhao's cultural attainments are the highest, and he is mainly responsible for contacting the generals' families, leading the team to send some Jeju Island specialties, cheering for homely things, chatting, and getting along well with those who have family members in the family compound.

Chao Gai saw this scene in his eyes and sighed in his heart. Li Qingzhao, a talented woman through the ages, is worthy of being a strange woman, her parents are short, and she is also a good hand.

In other words, several of his wives belong to strong women and refuse to give in easily. This is especially evident at night, when everyone likes to look down on him.

Life is like this, often unimaginable!

Recently, the armies have been expanding at a rapid pace, and the reserve of officers is greatly insufficient. The most outstanding performance in the pro-guard battalion, following the longest-lasting 200 pro-guards to serve as commanders in various armies, helped to strengthen Chao Gai's ability to control the army.

It's not that Chao Gai doesn't trust the generals, this kind of cultivation of cronies is necessary. As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one is allowed to get lost in power.

Throughout the ages, the heights are cold!

On the way to achieving hegemony, you will gain a lot, and you will also lose something. Chao Gai didn't like this feeling, but he had to gradually accept the facts. He could clearly feel that many of his brothers were speaking more and more cautiously.

Perhaps as the Chao family army grows stronger, this situation will become more and more obvious. But Chao Gai can only try his best to remind himself, not to change the original intention, and not to forget always. Tell all brothers not to lose their way because of what is in front of you.

There is still a long way to go.

The establishment of the three major intelligence departments also has this aspect in mind. He didn't want to be famous that day, and there were not a few old brothers left around him.

The only thing that pleased him was that the ladies had not changed, they still loved to roll their eyes and pout, and the snake beads that were warm in winter and cool in summer were also occupied by them. I often ask him to accompany me to visit the scenery and changes on Liangshan!

I stayed on Liangshan for more than ten days, and I was very familiar with the generals and families of the family compound. No one came to make noise, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, they still wanted to live for a while, but due to the wet and cold climate on the island in winter, An Daoquan said that pregnant women should not live for a long time, and the second is that Chao Gai left Chaojiazhuang for almost two months.

Always show up and talk about business with your deceased.

One night, Chao Gai and several wives led the guards back to Chaojiazhuang by boat. Everyone dressed up in disguise and returned to the house without attracting anyone's attention.

The return of the eldest lord and lady was supposed to cause a sensation. However, it was decisively pressed down by Chao Gai, everything was as usual, and there was not much wind.

Master Li, Li Qingzhao will be born in more than three months.

The happiest thing is not Chao Gai, who is about to become a father, but Chao Kang, an old guy, who is smiling with old tears. tremblingly greeted his wife, and tremblingly turned around and told his son to hurry up and supervise the matter of inviting Wen Po.

This time, you don't need to be told not to run around!

The old housekeeper specially arranged for a few experienced old women to join the maid team to take care of them. Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao were served in place, no matter where they went or what they did. The old women will surely follow. You really feel the taste of having a small tail behind you!

You can only exercise properly every day, and you can't jump anymore, and it's impossible to add punches and kicks to each other. At this point, it has entered a stable stage of raising a fetus.

In addition to returning home at dusk to accompany his wife to dinner, Chao Gai devoted himself to training the army. But he didn't forget to dispatch the tiger girl elite to guard the inner house.

Among the largest military camps in the central area of Chaojiazhuang!

There were 5,000 soldiers in the trapping army, and the infantry did not block Mu Hong's seventh army except for Erlongshan. The remaining armies each drew a thousand men to form an army of 10,000 men.

These people were all dressed in new iron armor, and they were majestic, but the formation was scattered.

And the weapons in their hands are a little weird, some are holding a wolf's stalk with a metallic luster, some are holding spears with both hands, some are holding three steel forks, and at the forefront are two strong men in front of them holding quadrangular shields......

It looks like a mess, but if you look closely, you can see it in a squad. Then there are formations with each other, squads and brigades, interlocking.

It is the "Mandarin Duck Array" that makes the Qi family army famous.

The Mandarin Duck Formation was created by Qi Jiguang himself, and he created this formation, to put it bluntly, to deal with the Japanese army, and the essence of the formation lies in the word "cooperation".

According to Qi Jiguang's design, each mandarin duck array contains eleven people, among these eleven people, one is the team leader, and the captain's responsibility is to be responsible for commanding, giving orders to the team, directing forward and backward, and changing formations.

In addition to the captain, standing at the front of the Mandarin Duck Formation are two shield players.

These two shield players, one holding a large square shield, this person is called the "long player", and his duty is to use a thick shield to resist the enemy's heavy arrows, spears and other attacks, and is a purely defensive character.

The other shield hand is holding a rattan card, the so-called rattan card, which is naturally not as strong as the shield defense, but it can also resist ordinary attacks. The rattan is lighter, which increases the mobility of the rattan player.

It is also equipped with a javelin and a waist knife, so that the defense plus the output. Of course, whether it is a long player or a rattan player, the purpose is to cover the advance of the back team, and after these two, there are two "wolf players". While the shield hand is slowly advancing, or when the Japanese army is swarmed up, he will operate a wolf whack about five meters long, and follow the Japanese army is a fierce stroke. And this can cost half the life of the Japanese army.

Its main role is to break up the enemy's formation and prevent the enemy from getting close.

Therefore, the wolf handler is only a support role in the entire mandarin duck array, and the real damage output is the four pikemen behind the wolf hand. After that, there are the two boring rakers who are guarding the rear. Often when the other party does not think about it or falls to the ground, quickly solve the other party's life.

Any type of weapon in the Mandarin Duck Formation is vulnerable if it is placed on the battlefield alone, but several weapons can cooperate with each other, and the power is unimaginable.

The most important thing is that this formation can be said to be set up for the Japanese army, because of its mobility and flexibility, it can change the formation at will according to the battlefield situation, for example, it can be changed from an overall mandarin duck formation to two small formations on the left and right, and it can also become a "three-talent formation" of three squads, which just restrained the Japanese army, so the Qi family army will kill the Japanese army to the soul.

And Chao Gai began to practice this kind of politics and law.

In the past few days, the distribution of weapons and the transfer of manpower have entered the run-in period.

As the horn of the attack sounded, the shouts of killing shook the sky, almost stirring up the dark clouds. At the front of the army, three or five thousand men rushed out. Swing the strange weapon in your hand and pounce forward. It was a dense crowd of scarecrows, thousands of them, holding spears, vivid.

The two sides collided, one side relied on the length of the wolf's whire, and the head of the pocket was swept away, and the scarecrow was photographed, followed by the spearman, directly poking into the scarecrow's chest. Those with great strength will poke the other party first.

The two shield-bearers in the front held their shields and drew their steel knives to cut down the scarecrows. Even the boring rake who follows behind can pick up leaks very well......

"Hey, everybody look at me, look at my flag."

"That who, that who, run slower, form a formation."

"Little Liuzi, you idiot, defend the left side."

"Keep the speed, don't rush, kill slowly."

On the school field, because the team is the elite drawn from various armies. There was no tacit understanding before, and the battlefield was still chaotic. And with the shouting and reprimanding, the teams also began to cooperate.
