In the early morning of the next day, the first horn sounded in the barracks. All the soldiers who were ready to set off were assembled in an orderly manner in the large open space outside the barracks.

After finishing the formation, Cao Mengbo walked out with four deputy generals, looking at the black pressure below, Cao Mengbo suddenly felt confident.

Cao Mengbo began to speak: "Some people say that the state army of ours is not as powerful as the frontier army, but I don't agree with it! Maybe the imperial court will choose the best of the frontier officers and soldiers and the Beijing army. But this does not mean that you are inferior to him! At least you work hard, you are young, you know how to obey, and you practice the formation hard, this is the emperor who lives up to his painstaking efforts, and one day, you may go out of Huizhou and go to Saibei to be a great general to resist the barbarians, go to Taiping City to protect the emperor, or even become a general in other places! Please remember that your strength has not yet been fully tapped, and your armed forces are approaching the peak.

There was a boiling below, and the slogan sounded: "Huizhou elite soldiers, pillars of the imperial court; serve the country, heroic and heroic!" Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, shaking the mountains.

Cao Mengbo was very satisfied, although he had not taken over this army for a long time, but it was full of spirit, and in time, it was possible to become a royal elite soldier.

The slogans came and went, and they were shouted three times in succession, and Cao Mengbo was very pleased: "Brothers, when you go out today, you are facing martial arts masters, and their single combat ability is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than you don't know. Therefore I ask you, when you have reached the foot of the mountain, to camp on the spot, and not to be too far from each other. This time it's not a war, it's a confrontation, you don't need the art of war, what you need is unity, can you do it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" three times in a row, deafening.

Cao Mengbo pursed his lips deeply and said, "Very good! You are all good! Come here! Sacrifice the flag!"

Everyone looked at it, and there were already two sergeants escorting Xu Sheng, who was already unconscious, to the handsome flag, which was the rule of the Xiao Dynasty army before each expedition, and it was necessary to find someone to sacrifice the flag and use human blood to sacrifice to heaven.

Cao Mengbo's face was expressionless, and he was not emotional, and talked about Xu Sheng: "This person is my staff officer, but he is also the former leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, Long Yingtian. This person also secretly encouraged General Li Wu to sell gunpowder pills, and later completely wiped out all the involvement, although he was talented, he was also a villain. Back then, Long Yingtian controlled the entire Dragon and Tiger League to oppose the imperial court, and now that Long Yingtian is dead, the general has an order, so he will sacrifice the flag with this person's blood to the heavens!"

"The great general is mighty! General Cao is mighty! Mighty! Mighty!" The morale of the armor soldiers was high, and they were quite heroic.

With Xu Sheng's blood stained on the Cao Zi Shuai banner, morale reached its peak.

"Luo Xing, Chen Mao!"

Cao Mengbo gave an order, and the two generals below stood up in front of the line and responded loudly: "The last general!"

Cao Mengbo said: "You two lead the Shenlong Camp first, and you must be densely set up at the foot of Taiqing Mountain within two hours!"

"Order!" the two men received the general's token and transferred an army.

"Zhao Hande, Xu Biao!"

Two more generals came out of the military formation: "The last general!"

Cao Mengbo said: "You two lead the cavalry to follow closely with the Shenlong Battalion, and build a camp tent behind it, and it will take two hours to complete the construction, and there can be no delay!"

"Order!" the two generals led another group of soldiers and horses out.

"Mu Hero, Ma Nan!"

Cao Mengbo gave an order, and two more generals appeared in the military array: "The last general!"

Cao Mengbo said: "The two of you lead the Divine Archery Battalion to follow closely, and all the heavy crossbows must be brought!"

"Order!" After the two generals went down, Cao Mengbo then shouted: "Liu Bai, Zhao Meng!"

"The last general!" These two generals are one white and one black, as their name suggests, and Cao Mengbo likes this pair the most.

Cao Mengbo ordered: "The heavy armor battalion is a combat force, you two will count it again, and after confirming that it is correct, we will open up Taiqing Mountain together, and there will be no delay!"

"Order!" the two men received the general's order, and also took an army with them.

It was originally dark underneath, and after a loud noise, only a few sergeants remained.

Cao Mengbo smiled and said to them: "It's not a big deal, these are enough." Liu Huang and Xun Yi are responsible for managing the remaining 8,000 men and horses in the military camp, and the stable supply of grain, grass and weapons must be ensured. Xu Da and Xu Er, you stay in the General's Mansion and watch for me. I have arranged for Shi Wenlong to deal with the affairs of Huizhou, and he will properly assign and deal with them, if it is not an important matter of military aircraft, it must be reported to Shi Wenlong, and other trivial matters can be decided by himself. Yang Tao, Geng Zhongping, you go with me. "As soon as the arrangements were made, these generals received their own orders and did not ask much.

Cao Mengbo looked at Yin Lichou Wudao: "In fact, there is no shortage of masters in the temple, these subordinates of mine are all from the original Huizhou army, or they are excellent in martial arts, or they are courageous, and they can be ordered in danger." ”

Yin Li smiled and said: "The general is really majestic today, and the talent of the general is fully displayed." ”

Cao Mengbo shook his head and said: "I can only deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if it is really a war, I am afraid I will not be competent." The general asked you to come to my aid, and if you can really help, I will definitely say a few kind words in front of the general. ”

Yin Li said worriedly: "Yes, we have already thrown ourselves to the imperial court." ”

Lei Zhenmen martial arts training ground.

He Zhennan specially invited Xiao Tiantu to the martial arts training ground to watch the disciples' morning exercises.

Xiao Tiantu praised three times in a row: "Okay, good, good!"

He Zhennan explained: "We who practice martial arts don't have to go to the battlefield to fight, and we don't have to defend our families and countries on the frontier. Most of the people who come to Lei Zhen to practice martial arts are also ordinary children, and most of their parents can practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives. ”

"It's a good body to prolong life. Xiao Tiantu praised He Zhennan with great satisfaction: "This is the original intention of practicing martial arts." Those grandmasters, how many people can really reach their strength, most of them are still ordinary people. My Xiao family dynasty is still martial, and the people naturally follow the practice of martial arts, which is the original intention. If one day a foreign captives come to invade, the whole country will be heroes, and they will definitely be able to come and go, and they will never dare to walk nomadic on the frontier again!"

He Zhennan boasted: "The general has a big heart, and He is not as good as He." ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "He is humble. Lei Zhen has many disciples, and it can be regarded as a peach and plum world. is not an official or a general, and it is very accessible to be able to do this. ”。

He Zhennan said modestly: "The master has accumulated fame, and I will sit back and accept it." If there is no teacher, He is just a reckless man, let alone today's general. ”

Xiao Tiantu nodded and said: "You are loyal to the imperial court and an example of martial arts, I will not lose you." ”
