In the palace, the father and son chatted. Outside the palace, the people who came out were divided into three groups. This was to discuss personnel and tactics, so they all separated from the other two groups.
Encircle, stay behind, and seize the camp. The former is easy to judge, and is rated as excellent, average, or poor according to the final number of prey.
If you stay here, it will be considered superior if you successfully hold the camp, and if you fail to do so, it will be considered inferior. If you capture the camp, it will be considered superior if you succeed in capturing the camp, and if you fail, it will be considered inferior.
In this way, all three parties have equal importance. If one party has three excellences, it is the leader. If there is no three excellences, it depends on how many are superior, how equal, and whether there are any inferior points.
The eldest brother said: "I will seize the camp. You can decide who will stay behind and who will attack the siege..." The third brother thought that compared with attacking and defending, the siege would pale in comparison and he would not be able to show off his abilities.
He immediately said: "I'll guard the camp. Let me be lazy. It just so happens that I've caught a cold these past few days and my legs hurt." He had already said this, so why should the Eighth Prince say anything else?
He brought a good bow and originally wanted to stand out in the siege. Unexpectedly, it has become like this and the siege has become an added bonus.
He said: "Then I will go for a roundup, but the two brothers also know that this roundup not only depends on the head, but also depends on luck. I don't know which area has more deer herds and which area has fewer deer herds." The third elder brother said: "
Anyway, when the time comes to draw lots to choose the place, my brother hopes that you will be lucky, Lao Ba." He said this and muttered in his heart.
This... this... I forgot about this... If the Eighth Prince was lucky, he wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation.
There is also the lucky ninth elder brother. The third elder brother feels inexplicably that he also seems to have a shortcoming.
The eldest brother took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was already midnight. The eldest brother said: "We came out early in the morning, so we don't want to send hungry soldiers. Let's pick people first and start the team at the beginning of the afternoon." The third brother was eager to win.
He thought more and said: "Brother, we can only pick 200 people in total. If there are three or three and three or three and the combat power is mediocre, do you want to guarantee two wins?" The elder brother has always been impatient to think about this and looked at the eight.
The elder brother said: "What does the eighth elder brother say?" The eighth elder brother also thinks that guaranteeing two wins is better than having an average fighting strength, but the elder elder brother is in high spirits now, and the third elder brother is not willing to suffer a loss. If he is in the same situation
The only solution is to reduce your manpower by then.
The eighth elder brother said: "The disadvantage of that is that we have to guard against others, Tian Ji, when the horse is racing. When the time comes, we will have to take risks if we lose and draw one. It is safer to distribute it equally." The elder brother felt that what the eighth elder brother said was reasonable.
.
After all, among the three teams, only our side has no weak players. It would be a pity to just give up a victory.
The eldest brother said: "Let's distribute it evenly first, wait until the field is on the field to see and then adjust." Seeing that both of them disagreed, the third brother said nothing.
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the two groups avoid the enemy's attack and attack each other's camp instead of attacking their own side.
In that case, although he won easily, he would not be able to show his ability. The third elder brother's heart moved, and he was actually looking forward to the frustration of the eldest elder brother and the eighth elder brother.
In that case, bringing your own troops to help will become the key to victory, and you will really gain face... *Prince Jane's Office.
Prince Jian was thinking about defending the camp before, but now he feels that the vanguard is more impressive. When the time comes, he will directly seize the camp with the yellow flag.
Otherwise, facing Baotai, the whole thing is relying on the strong to bully the weak, and there is no motivation. He said: "Brother, I will go out, let's go to the yellow flag camp!" The tenth elder brother said: "
Then you pick a hundred people, and Ninth Brother and I each have fifty." Prince Jian was not rash, and thought for a while, and said: "It's better to divide them equally. Needless to say, Ninth Brother will have luck in winning or losing. No matter what the order is, there is no very good chance of winning when attacking the camp. However, Lao Shi's defending camp is a good one if it survives two hours." Brother Ten said: "Then I'll let you allocate it." He originally thought that Prince Jian was belligerent. , that’s why we said that kind of allocation of people.
In this way, their side can guarantee a victory in the attack battle. Prince Jian is six years older than the ninth and tenth elder brothers. When he left to go to the study, the two younger brothers had already been studying for several years.
Prince Jian knew that the tenth elder brother was hiding his clumsiness. He looked at the ninth elder brother. The ninth elder brother thought that he had Erhe on his left and Chunlin on his right, so he didn’t need to be afraid of anyone. He immediately patted his chest and said, "We are walking around here. Don't worry, Brother Wang, we will maintain peace and strive for excellence!" Yaerjiang'a smiled, nodded and said: "With such ambition, good luck will follow, then I'll wait for you to maintain peace and strive for excellence!" After the three of them decided, Just go pick people up.
It only took two hours to prepare in total, and time was tight.* In the other group, Baotai was self-aware and directly asked the eldest brother Qi: "Brother Qi, how do you think the three of us should be divided? I can't ride and shoot well, so I'm afraid I'm going to hold you back. Unless I run into Brother Nine, I have little chance of winning." Brother Seven thought about the manpower of Prince Jian's team. Prince Jian said that he would sit in the rear, who can lead the troops to seize the camp. The only one left was the 10th Prince, so he said: "Then for you to conduct the siege, Prince Jian should choose the 9th Prince to conduct the siege." After hearing this, Baotai became more confident and said, "Okay, then I will conduct the siege." , try your best to beat the ninth elder brother and ensure a tie!" The seventh elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother again.
It is more difficult to win the camp than to defend. He said: "Thirteenth Brother will hold the camp, and I will seize the camp." There are battles to fight both offensively and defensively, but the Thirteenth Brother did not choose, and nodded: "Okay, then Leave the camp to me!" If it were the brother next to him, he would be a little more considerate, charge into the battle himself, and let his brothers hold the camp, so he would suffer less. But if it were the seventh brother, it would be difficult to say this.
Otherwise, it would be like being a younger brother and looking down on his older brother. The seventh elder brother is very thoughtful and knows that when the offense and defense are equal, the attacker will be at a disadvantage if the number of people is equal.
He said: "I will pick eighty people, and you will each pick sixty." Baotai and Brother Thirteen had no objection to the distribution of the number of people, so the three of them went down to pick people.
The people who came to Nanyuan with the Holy Spirit were all the elites of the Eight Banners, people from the Pioneer Camp and the Guard Camp. The eldest brother chose the manpower directly based on the bow power, and selected warriors with a seven-power bow or above.
A target was set up directly in front of the camp with a yellow flag, and those who signed up to finish the game had to shoot three arrows directly, and the second one would pass.
The soldiers who guard the military camp at the Three Banners accompany their troops to surround them every year, but this year is the first time that they receive half a year's salary as a bonus.
One by one, they were eager to try. There were also some people who were not looking for money, but for opportunities. There was a man who was promoted from the second-class bodyguard to the army guard leader and said: "Your Majesty, anyone can sign up? There is no limit on grade? I also want to try." Try." He is a third-grade official, his annual salary is one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and his half-year salary is sixty-five taels.
The noble son did not lack dozens of taels of silver, but he lacked the dignity. When he parachuted into the position of military guard officer, many people below him were dissatisfied.
This time, if he is the deputy and leads everyone to win the championship, even if he doesn’t accept it, he will accept it. The eldest brother immediately said: "As long as you have a yellow flag, you can sign up, regardless of grade..." At this point, there were also people watching the excitement. Many guards said: "If the guards are not on duty, you can also sign up!" Two clans
The guard immediately said: "Then let's sign up!" Prince Jian and Baotai didn't have any standards for selecting people. When they heard that the eldest brother was selecting people like this, they immediately recognized the talents and set targets accordingly.
There were a total of 6,000 soldiers who came with them this time. The Shang San Banners accounted for the majority, with about 3,000 people, of which the Pioneer Battalion and the Guard Battalion accounted for 50%.
It's equivalent to 1,500 people choosing 600. It seems easy, but the final result makes people frown. It's not that they can't draw the Seven Power Bow, but they are all young and strong, and it's not a problem to draw the Seven Power Bow.
But if you want to hit two out of three shots, you have to be really good. After a round, the three teams did not have enough people to choose two hundred, and they all had hundreds or dozens of people.
You must know that at the founding of the People's Republic of China, each of the Eight Banners wore armor with seven bows per capita. In less than a hundred years, not even one out of ten remained.
This is still the elite among the elites of the Eight Banners. When the elder brother saw this result, he couldn't help frowning. The third elder brother said: "Brother, don't delay, let's choose from the Xiaoqi camp for the rest!" Five hundred people also came from the Xianghuang Banner Xiaoqi camp. .
The eldest brother nodded and asked people to go to the Xiaoqi camp to select someone. Yaerjiang'a was impatient and made the selection again, so he ordered: "If the accuracy is not enough, the eight-power bow can be drawn to make up for it." If the bow is fully drawn, he can wield an eighty-jin sword and lift a two-hundred-jin stone lock. If his accuracy is insufficient and his strength is insufficient, he can stay in the camp and serve as a defense force.
The dozens of manpower shortages were filled in this way. When they arrived at Baotai, Baotai still had no idea and looked at the seventh elder brother.
The seventh elder brother asked Baotai: "How many guards can you draw out of the guards you brought?" Baotai thought for a moment and said: "We were prepared for the siege. We picked the elite of the palace, and the available ones can draw out thirty people. ." The Seventh Brother nodded and said: "Then I will collect twenty people, and there are about ten left. The Thirteenth Brother will choose people from the Zhenghuang Banner Guard Camp." In the past two years, the Guard Camp has also conducted assessments, and those who are not good enough to make up the number will be selected. Changed it.
The rest, riding and shooting were no problem. Baotai breathed a sigh of relief, it would be better if he can use his own people more, like an arm and a finger.
However, he was cautious and said: "Those who occupy the quota of Zhenghuang Banner will not take part in the bounty. If they win, the empty bounty will be replaced by sheep to provide extra meals to the soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner." The Seventh Prince nodded and said: "Well, This is better." Both brothers have their own manpower, but the thirteenth brother does not have his own manpower.
However, it is within the scope of the selection for the Thirteenth Brother to choose someone from the Zhenghuang Banner bodyguards, so there is no need for him to make a supplement.
It took an hour to select the people. When the men and horses with the yellow flag came up with smoke, the other two groups of men also got the news.
Prince Jian immediately looked at Brother Ninth and said, "How should we arrange the logistics and leave it to Brother Ninth?" Brother Ninth immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it..." There was only more than an hour left.
Brother Jiu immediately ordered his men to go down and prepare food as usual. The soldiers of the Eight Banners came out with their own dry food.
However, Brother Jiu also called Xing He and ordered: "Order ten people and quickly return to Beijing to buy sesame cakes, steamed buns and cooked food in Nancheng. The calculation is based on four hundred sesame cakes, four hundred steamed buns, and two hundred kilograms of cooked meat." Xinghe responded and left in a hurry.
Xing He led the people out of the paddock and fell into the eyes of the seventh elder brother. The seventh elder brother thought for a while and said to Baotai: "There is a deer house in the paddock. Do you want to borrow a few deer to make soup first?" Baotai said hesitantly: " There's only one hour left? Is it too late?" Brother Qi said, "If you have something hot to drink, pour it into the water bag to replenish your strength." Baotai nodded and said, "Okay, then let's all drink deer soup. , you can also drink deer blood first..."
