Above the school ground, the red flag rolled up, and the west wind was cold.
Three thousand white-rod soldiers were arranged neatly. Some historical books recorded that the white-rod soldiers were very tall and even had a slight height. However, if you think about it, you will know that it is impossible. These Tujia men grew up in mountains and wilderness and had poor nutritional levels, so how could they be too high?
Basically, the white-rod soldiers are less than 1.6 meters tall, with a clever body, running across mountains and ridges, like walking on flat ground, each with a strong body. Each person has a 16-foot-long white wax pole, with a spear head made of fine iron in front, similar to a hook and sickle spear, and an iron ring behind it, which can be used to climb and attack the enemy.
Since An**'s arms were delivered, the equipment of the Baigang soldier has been greatly improved. Everyone has put on bright breastplates. Ma Wannian has specially drawn out 500 elite soldiers and equipped them with powerful muskets.
After several months of training, the Baigang soldier once again showed his strength to the world.
Qin Liangyu, these people, has recovered a lot of health when they meet happy events. When reviewing the army, she insists on wearing a strong and holding a sharp sword and hanging a sword, just like the female general who fought on the battlefield decades ago.
Standing on the earthen platform, his eyes swept across every young face below, and looking at these newly equipped white-rod soldiers, Qin Liangyu could no longer stop his sadness, and tears rolled down from his eyes.
Gu Zhenhua stood beside Qin Liangyu. He could not understand the sadness of the hero's old age. What stood in front of him was not a person, but a book and a legend!
Qin Liangyu slowly walked to the soldiers, and his thin big hands patted his strong shoulders.
"You. Are you Peng Yutian's grandson?"
"Report to the old lady, that's right!"
"Okay, it's great! When the Bozhou Rebellion was pacified, your grandfather charged in the battle. My son still remembered that again, his stomach was pierced and his intestines flowed out. He didn't even know that he helped him bandage it."
Peng Xiaoye held back his tears and said loudly: "Old lady. With this armor, she will be charged in the battle and will no longer be afraid!"
Qin Liangyu nodded with relief. He looked at the young man next to him again and said, "You are Ba Hong's son. Your father escaped from the Battle of Hunhe. When he returned to Shizhu, he cried bitterly for three days. He kept saying that the Liao soldiers were shameless. He fired his own people and he would never serve the Ming Dynasty again. Why did you join the army?"
"Old lady, my father left five years ago. A few days ago, the major general sent my family fifty taels of silver and two stones of food. I, I can't let my husband down for his kindness!"
"Okay. Thank you for your kindness, you are all good!"
Qin Liangyu slowly looked at everyone. Finally, he smiled with relief: "You are all juniors of the old body. Now you have caught up with a good time. The rewards and punishments of the Zhongshan King are clear, and the Ming Dynasty is expected to rejuvenate. You all remember that when the Baigang soldiers arrived, they are loyalty and righteousness first. If anyone forgets these two words, they are not worthy of being the soldiers of Shizhu!"
As he finished speaking, all the soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted loudly at Gu Zhenhua: "Loyalty to the prince, revitalize the Ming Dynasty! Loyalty to the prince, revitalize the Ming Dynasty!"
When will talents be the most precious? Although it costs 2 million taels of silver, it is definitely a cost-effective business to be able to get the loyalty of Bai Gan Bing!
Gu Zhenhua waved his hand with a smile, making everyone get up.
"Brothers, from now on, you will be my king's soldiers and a member of An**. The first lesson to enter An** is military salute, you are optimistic."
Gu Zhenhua raised his right hand briefly and vigorously, and raised it to his right eyebrow.
"Brothers, when you arrive at the battlefield, there are only high and lows. I am the commander, you are soldiers, and you must obey orders. But there is no high and low. Everyone is a brother who entrusts his life, a brother and a relative. An** can grow rapidly and fight against the Tartars, relying on unity. At critical moments, you can hand over your back to your comrades with confidence. Do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand!"
Ma Wannian and Ma Wanchun raised their arms at the same time, and the white-rod soldiers behind them followed closely. Although they were not skilled enough, their enthusiasm, even fanaticism, was beyond comparison to anyone.
The military academy review was finally over, and everyone was ready to go. At this time, Qin Liangyu pulled Ma Yanran aside, took off his helmet, and carefully put it on his granddaughter's head.
"Grandma! You..."
"Hey, grandma is old, she always supports her hard in the past. Now that she has the King of Zhongshan, she can rest assured. Yanran, the women of our Qinma family can fight on the battlefield, and you are no exception. Grandma's mantle will be passed on to you!"
Ma Yanran looked at Qin Liangyu's mottled temples, and suddenly shed tears and couldn't help falling. From childhood to adulthood, her grandmother, who was like a mountain, has also grown old, and her biggest reliance!
"Silly girl, why are you crying? Can you still hide your little thoughts from grandma?"
Ma Yanran asked foolishly: "What's the point?"
"You ran to Kaifeng and when you came back, you were thinking about the King of Zhongshan. Grandma has also observed these days. Gu Zhenhua and Wenyun are civil and martial, with a broad mind and a corporal sect. He is indeed the first-class person in the world. Grandma is very satisfied!"
Ma Yanran said shyly: "Grandma, do you really agree?"
"What's the use of my agreement? He is a noble prince. It's still unknown whether he can fall in love with you, a wild girl! Listen to the old man, fight hard and make contributions, and have a status, everything is easy to say!"
Ma Yanran looked like a frightened rabbit, covered her mouth with her little hands, her eyes flashed constantly, and she finally nodded vigorously.
"Grandma, don't worry, granddaughter won't embarrass you!"
...
Three thousand white-rod soldiers, together with Gu Zhenhua's guard regiment, and the An** brought by Xia Shouli in advance, finally a team of 7,000 left the Shizhu and headed towards Chongqing.
Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong dong, dong dong...
The loud sound of war drums came, and Qin Liangyu could no longer go to the battlefield. She could only use this method to inspire the younger generations. The drums were rumbling and shocking. It was desolate, and even more hope. All her hopes for the future were placed in the sound of drums. They were swaying and echoing in everyone's ears.
When Ma Wannian and the others heard the drums, their eyes were red. They clenched their fists tightly.
After leaving the stone pillar, he walked for five days, the army arrived at Changshou, which was the place where Liu Jinzhong agreed to hunt. According to the scout's report, Liu Jinzhong had already brought the army with him three days in advance. The total number of their troops was as high as 30,000, and the army was lying in the camp. It was impossible to see at first sight.
According to convention, before the war started, Gu Zhenhua summoned everyone and discussed it together.
Ma Wannian was young and energetic, patted his chest and said, "Prince, the Western Army is a bunch of waste, not worth mentioning. My white-rod soldiers are now fully equipped. There is no need to be afraid of them at all. Bei Zhi is willing to charge and capture Liu Jinzhong alive!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed coquettishly: "Brother, do you remember what grandma said? You are not allowed to underestimate the enemy!"
To everyone's expectations, Ma Yanran, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke. Ma Wanchun next to him pulled Ma Yanran's sleeve and whispered: "Sister. Don't talk too much about the marching matter!"
"Brother. It's not that I'm talking too much, knowing myself and my enemy. The number of our troops is far inferior to that of Liu Jinzhong, so we can't do it recklessly!"
Gu Zhenhua smiled and looked at Ma Yanran. He didn't expect this little girl to have such an experience.
"Miss Ma, you may as well say anything if you have any opinions. An** is not without a female general. As long as you speak with reason, I will definitely adopt it!"
Ma Yanran breathed a long sigh and said calmly, "Prince, this time Liu Jinzhong invited his grandmother to hunt. In fact, he just saw that his grandmother was old and wanted to bully the old man. But it seemed that he didn't know that An** had entered Sichuan, especially the prince himself. I think he could use the trick to lure Liu Jinzhong to hunt, and then attack the surprise attack to solve the thief!"
After Ma Yanran finished speaking, she blushed and lowered her head. There was no sound for a while. The little girl didn't know if she was wrong and looked around in panic.
Just facing her eyes, Gu Zhenhua's praise of his eyes.
Slap sex...
Gu Zhenhua took the lead and slapped her face and said with a smile: "The general's tiger girl is well-deserved. I think what Miss Ma said is reasonable, so I will do it according to her idea!"
...
"Sir, your move is too clever. Qin Liangyu is old and the white-rod soldiers have suffered heavy losses and are vulnerable. The villain thinks that this time, Qin Liangyu is just solved and he will get the entire Dongchuan."
Liu Jinzhong is a general under Zhang Xianzhong, second only to Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, and has a high status. He has one problem, which is that he likes martial arts warlocks, and always follows a large group of semi-immortals and living gods. Especially after the increasing power, the bigger the team around him.
The first person to finish talking was Wang Banxian. On the other side, Hu Shenxian curled his lips and smiled disdainfully: "Is this just Dongchuan satisfied? Is it necessary to go out of Huguang, or even go down the river to fight to Nanjing!"
Liu Jinzhong was also shocked. He did not have such great ambitions.
"Zhenren Hu, can what you said work?"
"Hahaha, planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven." Hu Shenxian said, stretching out his finger and counting back and forth.
"The prince is a tiger, and he is born with a noble life. If the dragon and tiger fight each other, you may have a day of promotion!"
Liu Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sincere, Master Hu should be a protector!"
While they were joking wildly, Ma Wannian and Ma Wanchun came to them with their men.
Ma Wannian said loudly: "Is General Liu on the opposite side? The old man Zhongzhen Hou was waiting there personally. When will the general start hunting, we are all waiting!"
When Liu Jinzhong heard that Qin Liangyu was really coming, he was also shocked. He looked at him and found that there was indeed a female general standing in the middle on the opposite side, looking at the outfits that were as good as the legendary Qin Liangyu.
Old lady, you really dare to come!
Liu Jinzhong smiled proudly and said, "Since Mrs. Qin is here, the general is also anxious to appreciate Mrs. Qin's style. Let's start hunting now!"
Liu Jinzhong waved his hand and the Western Army had already driven all the preys to the woods between the two armies. Liu Jinzhong took the lead and rushed towards the woods.
Chapter completed!
