For the rest of the year, the recruits were trained. It's not that I really expect to be able to train them in a short period of time, but the main thing is to polish the temperament of these people, and it is enough to obey the command.

Unlike the rest of the barracks, the only thing the soldiers below need to do, and the most important thing is

"Obey orders and listen to commands"! The whole barracks is a whole, and the ordinary soldiers inside do not need or allow them to raise objections, and they only need to unswervingly carry out the orders of the commanders.

Every time a command is given from above, the people below ask for one

"Why", think about it

"Isn't that right", then there is no need to fight this battle, surrender as soon as possible! And what the recruits lack most is this awareness, the subjective will of the individual is too strong, and they do not really integrate into the collective.

This state of theirs is a great source of instability, and if a war breaks out, it may drag down the other brothers in the camp, so it must be polished!

When the training was almost over, Lin Yan and the others were divided into different teams, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Yan understood the reason for the conscription in the military camp.

According to the configuration that should have been in the battalion, the number of people left at the moment is really too small, and some of the team members are even less than half of the full quota.

According to some veterans, intentionally or unintentionally, they had experienced a large-scale battle with the barbarians not long ago, and there were many losses on both sides.

In order to make up for the shortfall, it was necessary to recruit soldiers on the spot. It is estimated that it will not be long before the barbarians will invade again, which means that these newly recruited recruits will not be able to go to the battlefield in earnest, and there is not much time left for them!

Taking advantage of this period of training, Yang Dayan also figured out some of the circumstances of these recruits, and the previous assignments were also based on their specialties to a certain extent.

For example, Lin Yan, after he showed his riding skills and archery skills, he was assigned to the only cavalry team in the battalion, after all, it is still rare to be able to recruit this kind of talent!

Of course, Lin Yan is a special case, and the requirements for entering the cavalry team are not all as good as his standard.

As long as you can ride a horse and can do some simple horse combat, then you can be classified into it. It can also be seen from this that the shortage of soldiers in the barracks is very serious, otherwise the standards would not have been set so low, and laymen would not have been sent directly to the battlefield after a long time without a long period of training.

In addition to the cavalry ranks, the rest were infantry, among which there were subdivisions, spearmen, archers, sabers and logistical teams.

What caught Lin Yan's attention the most here was the sabre team, and the knives used by these people were completely different from the rest of the team.

The style of the knife is a long-handled broadsword, one zhang long, a two-sided bladed knife, the minimum weight is 20 catties, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to wield it, so most of the soldiers of the saber team are strong men with strong physiques.

This knife is held by the infantry, especially for cutting horses, so it is also called

The "sword of chopping horses" is a favorable weapon to restrain cavalry. Of course, its style is not unique, in addition to the long-handled broadsword, there are also the appearance of the blade and the handle is almost the same length, the blade is a horizontal knife or double-edged tip, which is also intimidating!

For this kind of heavy knife, Lin Yan is still a little itchy, after all, he has not had the opportunity to contact it before, and he also wants to try its power.

However, this kind of knife is expensive to build and the production process is complicated, so it is strictly controlled by the Tang military, as long as it is not from the military, even high-ranking officials and nobles are not allowed to have it.

Moreover, even if you are a general, you must leave the knife in the barracks after returning to old age and cannot take it with you. This kind of knife is even more unlikely to be buried in the tomb as a funerary item with the general and other big people, and the waste is on the one hand, mainly to prevent it from being captured by the enemy, take its craftsmanship, and deal with the Tang people in turn.

In the barracks, the Mo knife even has a separate number on the knife body, the person is in the knife, even if the person is gone, the knife must be there, and there is no room for loss!

It's a pity that there is a division of labor between the teams, Lin Yan has been assigned to the cavalry team, and it is impossible to come into contact with this kind of heavy weapon for the time being, which makes him feel a little regretful in his heart.

Time flies quickly, and on this day, with the Malay newspaper outside the camp, a message was brought: those barbarians have moved again!

After hearing this, Yang Dayan shot the case directly, and scolded viciously:

"These southern barbarians, after holding back for so many days, finally can't hold it back! It's okay, this time let's count the old and new hatreds together! ”

"Pass my order, send people, always pay attention to the movements of the barbarians, and attack directly after entering the attack range, this time these barbarians will definitely be severely damaged, so that they will not dare to invade our borders again in a short time!" When the soldier who reported the news heard this, he bowed his head and said:

"Yes! Captain! Then he withdrew from the camp, and in a short time the neighing of horses sounded, and he went away, presumably to continue to inquire about the movements of the barbarians.

There are also orders on the side of the barracks, and the teams of each team are in charge, and they have already put their ranks together and are ready to go out at any time.

Soon, the horses reported that the barbarians had already stepped into the border and were driving their horses to the border villages to plunder. Yang Dayan frowned when he heard this, and scolded:

"Damn, these Southern Barbarians are really haunted, are they really muddy when I am a Tang person?"

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will attack!" As the order was issued, the teams that had already been prepared quickly assembled, and then began to march in an orderly manner under the arrangement of their respective commanders.

With the help of war horses, the cavalry team moved the fastest, and under the order of Yang Dayan, they took the lead as the first march, and must stop the barbarian cavalry to prevent their danger to the people from further expanding.

At the same time, it is necessary to hold back the barbarians as much as possible, wait for the arrival of the rest of the teams, and work together to severely damage the barbarians!

The cavalry team led the way, and Lin Yan was among them, and under the leadership of his own commander, he marched towards the place where the barbarians were.

The team of their team was a somewhat taciturn middle-aged man with a hideous knife wound on his neck, named Wu Qi.

It is said that he was injured in a battle with the barbarians, and if it weren't for his fate, he probably would have lost his head.

So don't look at him on weekdays

"Stuffy gourd", but when he meets a barbarian, it is like beating chicken blood, he is excited, and he seems to have inexhaustible strength.

The cavalry has always assumed the role of vanguard and main force in the battle against the barbarians, performing the most dangerous missions.

After all, when it comes to horseback archery, barbarians are naturally good at archery, and even if the Tang people are trained, it is difficult to reach the same level in a short period of time, so they have suffered heavy losses in battles over the years.

And in the face of these small-scale invasions of the barbarians, it is impossible for the Tang State to send a large group of heavy armored cavalry, that is undoubtedly it

"The mountain smashes mosquitoes" is too overkill, and the cost and benefit are very different, and it is not worth it!

This also led to the barbarian cavalry at the border becoming more and more unscrupulous, and the border soldiers of the Tang State often had to pay a great price to deal a certain blow to these barbarians.

The speed of the cavalry team was very fast, and Lin Yan saw the smoke emitting from a distance in front of him, and the rest of the people obviously also discovered this and drove their horses under the leadership of the team.

When they got close and saw the miserable scene in front of them, everyone, including Lin Yan, felt that their hearts were beating faster, and a nameless anger rose violently in their hearts.

The place is littered with collapsed houses, and the flames emit smoke that will not be extinguished. The ground was stained with blood and littered with more than a dozen corpses, some with their heads cut off, some broken in two, and the bodies of two children, about seven or eight years old, charred in the flames and emitting a pungent smell.

"These damn southern barbarians!" Wu Qi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Then he commanded:

"Leave ten people behind, check if there are any living mouths here, and the rest will follow me to chase the barbarians!"

"Yes!" The soldiers all clenched their fists and took their orders. The cavalry team drove away, leaving behind exactly ten people, including Lin Yan, and the chief who led them was a bald man, and everyone called him

"Old horse". Lao Ma is over half a hundred years old, has not married a wife, and naturally has no children under his knees. In his words, a person like himself, with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, may leave his life on the battlefield one day, and it will be troublesome to marry a wife.

But as he grew older, he became envious of those who had children. Don't say anything else, there's a concern!

Therefore, he poured all his feelings into the barracks, and these junior soldiers were taken care of by him like his children.

Even for newcomers like Lin Yan, Lao Ma didn't have the slightest arrogance and gave them a lot of help.

Under the leadership of Lao Ma, Lin Yan and the others quickly began to search within the village destroyed by the barbarians.

Although there is little hope, but what if there are people who survive? At this moment, an exclamation came:

"Old horse, quick, there's a living mouth here!" The old horse and the rest of the people quickly followed the sound and gathered around, only to see a man in tattered clothes lying behind a collapsed earthen wall, with a hideous wound on his chest, which had cut out his stomach, and a lot of intestines flowed out of it, and blood was spilled all over the ground.

Looking at the man's tragic situation, the hearts of everyone present sank. This kind of injury, even if the miracle doctor is alive, most of them can't be saved!

And every second that this man lives is going to suffer greatly, I really don't know how he survived until now!

The old horse stepped forward, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and asked:

"Brother, we are Tang pawns, if you have anything else, you can tell me." When the man heard this, a flash of brilliance suddenly emanated from his dead eyes, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the blood in his mouth gushed out uncontrollably, and he said with difficulty:

"Save ...... Save my daughter, she was ...... by the barbarians Taken captive! Beg...... I beg you...... ......Before the words were finished, the man's body finally couldn't hold on, and his arm hung down weakly, losing his vitality.

The old horse stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the man's eyelids, and said:

"Don't worry, we will definitely try our best to save your daughter!" The man has endured great pain until now, maybe he can't rest assured about this!

The old horse turned his head, his eyes were sharp, and said:

"Whole team, set off to save people!"
