() In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xia led the Tiger Guards from Yongle City and went straight to the southern Xinjiang border garrison camp.
The southern Xinjiang border guard army has been stationed in Taizhou for many years and knows everything about Taizhou.
If we want to attack Taizhou, without them, there will be constant troubles.
Wang Xiaoyong was killed yesterday, and now the morale of the southern Xinjiang border army is in chaos, and everyone is in danger. In addition, coupled with repeated defeats, if we don't rectify it now, I'm afraid this army will be completely destroyed.
In less than two hours, they arrived at the southern Xinjiang border guard army camp.
Before entering the camp gate, I saw the guards patrolling outside to enforce martial law. They were all dejected and depressed.
Most of their military uniforms were in tatters, and some soldiers were not even wearing military uniforms.
Judging from their age, the young ones are too young, while the old ones are all like haggard trees with low cultivation levels. They are obviously working in the army to earn a living.
If you knew that this was the imperial border guard army, if you didn't know better, you would have thought it was a ragtag group of people from a village.
When Liu Xia met Yunzong before, he was not far from the military camp of the Northwest Border Guard Army. Although the Northwest Border Guard Army was not even the elite troops of the Tianji Dynasty, it was more than a hundred times stronger than them.
No wonder the pirates encircled and suppressed us every year, but they became more and more aggressive every year.
It was very different from Liu Xia's previous imagination of them.
Originally, there were pirates outside and bandits inside. Under such external and internal troubles, the southeastern border guard army should be a group of men who can conquer and fight. It seems that in recent years, pirates and bandits have not given them up.
After being sharpened, the Nangong family's army was sharpened as sharp as a blade.
It's no wonder that the Nangong family's army abandoned their armor and fled in despair.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is not as cold as a day to freeze three feet. The situation of the southeastern border guards today did not happen overnight. I am afraid it will take some effort to rectify them."
At this moment, Duan Lingxiao, who was accompanying Liu Xia, whispered.
Liu Xia nodded silently and said: "Enter the military camp."
Immediately, the tiger guards escorted Liu Xia to the camp gate.
The guards guarding the gate of the military camp were shocked when they saw the Tiger Guard.
The team in front of them had bright armor and murderous intent. It looked quite big at first glance. When they saw the dragon pattern flag following Liu Xia, they immediately opened the camp door and called people in to report.
Liu Xia rode on the wind chasing beast and did not enter the camp, but waited here.
A full quarter of an hour passed, and everything seemed to be suddenly in chaos in the camp.
It took another quarter of an hour before Liu Xia saw a group of officers-looking people hurriedly arriving in front of Liu Xia.
"The general will bow to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Immediately, a group of generals saluted one after another.
Liu Xia lowered his head and glanced at these generals. He immediately got off his horse and said, "Everyone, please get up."
The generals then stood up one after another.
The entire southeastern border guard army has one chief commander and three deputy commanders, with a thousand households, a hundred households, etc.
Among them, the commander-in-chief was appointed by the imperial court. The current commander-in-chief was murdered after the Nangong family rebellion. The commander-in-chief Wang Xiaoyong was killed yesterday.
Nowadays, the place is leaderless.
The generals who came to see Liu Xia today were three deputy commanders plus a general named Fu and several guerrilla generals.
After the southeastern border guard army was defeated by the Nangong family, its organization was no longer complete.
As for these generals, many of them were disheveled and some even smelled of alcohol. They looked at the tiger guard behind Liu Xia and frowned.
The war is about to begin. How can such an army fight a bloody battlefield with the enemy?
"Your Highness, the tent is ready."
At this time, a deputy commander standing at the front clasped his fists and said.
Liu Xia saw that he was also sweating coldly and his body was still shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.
"That's all. I'm here today to see the might of our southeastern border guard army. Beat the drums to send orders, and I'm going to conduct a military parade in person."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"this……."
Several generals behind him wiped cold sweat one after another, hesitated and did not dare to say a word.
"Um?"
Liu Xia's expression suddenly changed.
"promise!"
Immediately, these generals led the way for Liu Xia, and they arrived at the school grounds a moment later.
The school ground was in an open space outside the military camp. Liu Xia climbed onto the stand and immediately heard the sound of war drums.
Suddenly, the entire military camp was in a state of excitement and excitement.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the first man entered the school grounds.
It took a whole stick of incense for the army to be assembled.
When assembling, the team was in chaos. People bumped into each other, people were dressing while running, there were some who were not sober, and there were even some veterans with walking sticks.
Even though Liu Xia was well-informed, he was stunned when he saw this scene.
Not only Liu Xia, but also Liu Liansheng, Song Hanxing, Tong Dawei, Zhang Zong and others behind Liu Xia were stunned.
It’s hard to imagine that this is the same mighty warrior who fought bloody battles with pirates in the memorial.
When Liu Xia wiped out the bandits, the mob in the village was already weak, but compared to them, it was much stronger.
The generals standing in front of Liu Xia were like sieving chaff, their faces were red, their ears were red, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Liu Xia sat on a Taishi chair and watched all this with cold eyes, feeling furious in his heart.
In recent years, in order to defeat the pirates, one-tenth of the imperial treasury was spent on the southeastern border guard army.
However, now it seems that everything is cheaper for the Nangong family.
No wonder the Nangong family dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that it was these southeastern border guards who made the Nangong family fat.
"Of the three commanders, who can give the orders?"
Liu Xia asked with a smile.
"Mo, Mo will."
At this time, a deputy commander came out of the line tremblingly, clasped his fists and said.
"Okay, give the order."
Liu Xia smiled.
“Nono!’
Immediately, the commander turned around and shouted with some trembling: "Array!"
The war drums sounded again.
The so-called formation refers to the division of the army into changing formations. This is the most basic thing for training the army.
As a result, when the war drums sounded, more than 40,000 people and more than a dozen square formations were in chaos.
These soldiers simply didn't know where to go, where to go, or what to do.
The entire campus was covered in dust, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.
Seeing the two military formations colliding with each other, there was a lot of shouting and cursing, which was very lively.
All the while, the generals of the border troops knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowing like they were pounding garlic.
Obviously, they know that they can't escape today.
At this moment, Liu Xia's face was ashen.
"stop!"
At this time, Liu Xia suddenly stood up and drank loudly.
Suddenly, the sound of the war drums stopped, and the chaotic situation on the school grounds improved slightly.
Liu Xia stepped out of the stands, walked to the front of one of the phalanxes, and stood in front of a soldier.
This soldier looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a childish look on his face, and his clothes didn't fit him well. At first glance, he thought he was a little beggar.
"Show me your weapons."
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
Immediately, the soldier knelt on the ground shaking and handed the weapon to Liu Xia.
In the Tianji Dynasty, every soldier in the army must at least be equipped with a black iron sword, a three hundred stone long bow, a fine steel spear, and a set of armor and helmet.
After all, in the army, those who have master-level cultivation are considered elites and can at least serve as hundreds of households.
Most of the master-level masters are already Qianhu, and the master-level masters are often high-level generals.
However, at this moment, when Liu Xia held the simple knife in his hand, he could tell that it was made of pig iron.
Because the Xuantie Pu Dao weighs at least more than one hundred kilograms.
The basic requirements for joining the army are to be able to draw a 300-stone longbow and to be able to simply use a simple sword to practice a set of sword skills.
If you are not qualified, you will not be able to enlist in the army.
"Hanxing, give me your knife."
Liu Xia turned around and stretched out his hand.
Song Hanxing drew out his long knife without saying a word.
Song Hanxing's long sword is standard equipment.
Immediately, Liu Xia handed the sword to the soldier and said: "Take it, let me practice the sword technique to defeat the enemy."
The child was scared and didn't dare to say anything. He just grasped the long knife with trembling trembling, and then he staggered.
Obviously, he couldn't hold the knife at all.
According to common sense, he cannot join the army.
After Liu Xia supported him, he reached out and pulled off his armor.
He tore off a piece of nail at random and crushed it with his hands, and the nail instantly turned into powder.
Although the armor equipped by ordinary soldiers is not as sophisticated as that of generals, it can withstand three hundred stone longbow arrows from a distance of one hundred meters.
However, the armor on the soldiers, let alone the 300-stone longbow, may not be enough for the 30-stone longbow.
"Everyone, can one of you explain to me what is going on?"
Liu Xia asked.
Immediately, the generals kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
"Drag them out and kill them all!"
Liu Xia said coldly.
Immediately, about a hundred tiger guards rushed forward and detained the more than thirty generals. They immediately raised their swords and dropped their heads. Immediately, more than thirty heads fell to the ground.
"Lingxiao."
"The end will be here."
"Immediately go to count and verify the number of troops and re-register them. Unqualified soldiers will be given severance pay and let them go home."
Liu Xia said coldly.
"As commanded."
Immediately, Duan Lingxiao shouted: "The army retreats, all the thousands of households stand in line and stand by."
Immediately, the sound of ringing gold rang out, and the army dispersed on the school grounds. After the army was gone, only a thousand households of less than 5,000 were left waiting there.
They were all frightened and trembling, waiting for orders.
"Bring your roster and follow me."
Immediately, Duan Lingxiao headed towards the military camp.
"My lord, please calm down. I'm afraid this man and horse can't be counted on."
Liu Liansheng behind him sighed softly and said.
"It doesn't matter, let's leave it to Lingxiao for training. Anyway, it will take some time before the war starts. If you can use it, use it. If you don't use it now, you will use it in the future."
Liu Xia sighed softly and said.
After all, even if the Nangong family is pacified this time and the pirates are destroyed, the southeastern border guard army will still exist.
If we don't rectify it now, we will be in trouble sooner or later after the war.
Later, after Liu Xia stayed in the military camp for three hours, he left Duan Lingxiao here and returned to Yongle City with his men.
