Chapter 26: The Guards
"Zhao Lang is getting more and more impressive."
The empress saw the hope of the Zhongxing Empire from Zhao Yan's self-confidence, and felt that she had picked up a treasure in her heart.
"Your Majesty, Yan's eyelids have been jumping hard recently, and I always feel unsteady without strict guards, and I have to go and see the Imperial Forest Army Battalion."
Although Zhao Yan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, his keen intuition told him that he was afraid that something big would happen.
And the pro-army of the Empress Gongwei Jingshi is only 40,000 Royal Forest Army.
According to the classification of soldiers in ancient times, combatants and non-combatants are calculated to be one-to-three, and only 10,000 of the 40,000 Imperial Forest Army have the combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army at most.
This is because the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for guarding the Beijing Division and protecting the safety of the empress, so they are all heavy infantry.
Just the iron armor weighs more than 80 catties, plus the weight of the weapon, a heavy infantry carries at least 100 catties when fighting.
Although heavy armor effectively protects the soldiers, it also has the negative effect of dragging.
When marching, you will never wear your armor neatly, and you will not be tired to death, and you will enter lightly in civilian clothes.
In this way, a large number of auxiliaries are needed to assist combat soldiers, including a series of auxiliary services such as logistics, and the basic configuration is that one combatant needs to be composed of three auxiliary personnel.
And Zhao Yan's ambition is so ambitious that it is beyond the imagination of everyone at the same time.
As Zhao Yan said, the rice should be eaten bite by bite, and he must first form a 3,000-person Modao team.
These soldiers must come from the Imperial Guards loyal to the Empress.
"Well, I also have the same idea, Zhao Lang's Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's rest quickly, it's not too late to go tomorrow."
Empress Jiang Lingyue opened the bead curtain with satisfaction, and a rock-solid bed appeared in front of Zhao Yan.
I don't know how ingenious the craftsman is, such a stubborn stone can be endowed with a life full of temptation.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his little waist, and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.
The sour grapes in his hand were overly frightened and fell out.
He really couldn't stand it, Jiang Lingyue was not only the empress of the world, but also the goddess of Brahmin, who could continue to fight all night.
"Your Majesty, without further ado, let's talk about Yan's sudden attack, and you can see how powerful the Imperial Forest Army is."
Zhao Yan didn't even care about politely retreating, so he fled in a hurry.
"It's so urgent, it's a pity that it's the full moon tonight."
Jiang Lingyue looked at the fact that he had already disappeared and couldn't see his back, and muttered to himself in infinite melancholy to the moon.
"Mom, fortunately, the master ran fast, isn't it time to take some tonics?"
Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly, maybe it was the recent effort to cause the decline in physical function.
Although the Imperial Forest Army camp is the Empress Gongwei, it is still far from the palace.
Ten miles away from the emperor's division, I saw the Beidaying, which was garrisoned by Jiang Lingyue's henchman Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei has enjoyed the emperor's grace for generations, and now he is in his early thirties, which is the age when he can fight.
"Aunt Guo, I'm here soon, my subordinates will go and say hello first."
Qinglong was kind and wanted to give Zhao Yan a front stop, so that Zhang Lei could go out of the camp to greet Aunt Guo.
After all, he came on behalf of the empress, and he had to give enough face.
"No, Lone just wants to see with his own eyes whether Zhang Lei is as good as his name."
Jiang Lingyue didn't understand military affairs, and praised Zhang Lei very fiercely in front of Zhao Yan.
And Zhao Yan also had the intention of letting Zhang Lei serve as the chief general of the Modao Formation.
So you have to know beforehand, the best way is to make a surprise attack and see how he manages the army.
Before they arrived at the camp gate, they felt that something was wrong, and they heard the noise in the camp like a market, and the lights were even more chaotic.
There is no comparison with the military camp in the battle sequence, giving Zhao Yan the feeling that where is the military camp, it is clearly a large-scale bazaar.
There were not even sentries standing guard at the gate of the camp.
Zhao Yan swaggered in with the guards.
"Sold and sold, a pair of tall buckskin military boots."
"I have red dates from my hometown here, ten old money a catty."
"You kid is out of the sun, see if I don't chop you."
The barracks is full of chickens and dogs, so it's not lively.
"This is the Guards?"
Zhao Yan frowned, always feeling that Qinglong had led the wrong way and walked into the emperor's night market.
"Uncle Guo, that's right, Qinglong often goes in and out of this camp, and he is also a good friend with Commander Zhang Lei."
Qinglong said affirmatively, but his face was a little unbearable.
He wanted to take the first step at the beginning, just to give Zhang Lei time to rectify.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan rejected him on the grounds of assault.
Listening to Qinglong's answer, Zhao Yan was like a frosted eggplant, and he suddenly wilted.
I still want to rely on the Royal Forest Army to fight for him and build a long-term winning army.
With this virtue, let alone often winning, Zhao Yan thanked God when he saw that the enemy did not break him up.
"What's the matter, who called the little lady, hehe, there's a good show to watch tonight."
A reckless man who drank was drunk and stumbled out of the tent to urinate, just in time to see Zhao Yan's arrogance.
Zhao Yan, who crossed over, had not yet had time to learn to ride a horse, and he couldn't walk for more than ten miles.
The empress also felt sorry for him, so she arranged for her proud son to save her physical strength.
At night, the sight was not good, and the big-headed soldier mistakenly thought that the little daughter-in-law had come in.
Usually, the big soldiers gambled, fought, bought and sold, and the prostitutes they called were all riding donkeys, which were all commonplace, but it was the first time that a proud man came in like this.
"Brothers, come out and take a look, hey, whose little daughter-in-law."
The single dog was like smelling something fishy, and groups of people ran out to watch the excitement.
There are even some brave ones who want to lean over and take a look.
Suzaku was arranged by Jiang Lingyue to protect Zhao Yan closely, so he naturally sat in the same pride as Zhao Yan.
Feeling threatened, the embroidered spring knife in Suzaku's hand was already unsheathed, just waiting for the daredevils to come and send him to death.
"Don't be reckless."
Zhao Yan knew that he was here to inspect, not to kill.
"Let me see."
A daredevil's rush is about to lift the curtain of pride.
Qinglong did not stop it, but wanted Zhao Yan to see the virtues of the real Beidaying Imperial Forest Army.
I can only mourn silently for my friend Zhang Lei.
It's just that before the daredevil's curtain could be lifted, he was kicked out directly by a fierce kick from inside.
This person was more like a kite with a broken string, flying upside down for more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
"Hahaha."
The man's embarrassment immediately drew a burst of laughter.
"Ge Laozi, don't talk about martial arts, hurt people secretly, see if grandpa doesn't kill you."
The daredevil, too, got up from the ground with a wheel, picked up a spear in his hand, and threw it at the arrogance.
When Zhao Yan saw the flying spear, his face turned green with fright.
"Save the orphans."
"Take the dirty paws away."
Suzaku said coldly.
