Chapter 179 A Calm Day
The sky gradually dawned, and the sun showed its smiling face, shining on the land of the white colt salt field.
Although he only slept for two or three hours, Zhang Yang got up immediately. This bed was used by the commander during his occasional rest. The head of the bed was carved with hollowed-out patterns and covered with soft silk bedding. It's really comfortable to lie down.
After a simple wash of his face, he rushed out immediately.
Outside the salt field, it is already overcrowded at this time. The 100-man team of the first battalion newly recruited yesterday has all assembled and is starting a simple assassination training.
And in front of Li Shanchang, a large number of people are gathered around him, ready to sign up and join the team.
Zhang Yang was very puzzled. He had planned to send people to recruit people this morning, but he didn't expect that why so many people came to join his team at dawn?
It seems that he is really popular. Zhang Yang is a little proud.
"Big brother!" Xu Yi saw Zhang Yang coming out and immediately ran over.
"Well, how much grain did you borrow last night?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Brother, I borrowed about 500 stones of grain yesterday, which were all pulled back by horse-drawn carriage. There are also a few big households who didn't borrow it. Are you going to continue?" Xu Yi asked.
"Good, you tell Dingchen about this and ask him to send someone else. You have been busy all night and have a rest first." Zhang Yang said.
500 stone grain? These big families really have a lot of food at home!
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze." Li Shanchang said, "Now, it's the third 100-man team. The people who just signed up have all gone to the second team over there, waiting for training! What's your name?"
The third? That is to say, in a blink of an eye, two hundred-person teams have been established? Zhang Yang looked over, and Shi Wenshang was giving them weapons and preparing them to train.
It seems that we have to move to the Arctic Hall tomorrow.
The second 100-person team, each of them picked up the bamboo pole and began training.
"Everyone has only one action, thorn!" Shi Yi was demonstrating in front of a hundred-person team, "One team of ten people, one ten husband in each team, and the other nine people should obey the orders of the ten husbands. After the enemy approached and heard the command, all the people raised their spears flat and stabbed them out!"
With that, Shi Yi took the bamboo pole and said, "Stab!" After saying that, he stepped out with his left leg as a bow and arrow, raised the bamboo pole with both hands, and stabbed it hard, making a sound of penetrating the air. Then, he took the recovery with both hands, pulled the bamboo pole back, and stood upright to the ground.
" OK, let's start, listen to my command, stab!"
A hundred bamboo poles were stabbed forward together, but they were crooked and twisted without any strength.
"Everyone, pay attention, you now think that there is an enemy in front of you. You should stare at the other party and concentrate on it. Every time you stab it, you must use the strength of your whole body. Under one blow, you should pierce the other party!" Zhang Yang shouted, "Since everyone has joined the team, they should train carefully. If you don't train well, it will be the price of blood on the battlefield!"
"I want your kind of fire, but I don't want a bamboo pole! At least it has to be a fine steel spear!" A voice shouted.
Zhang Yang changed color: "Who said that?"
"Me!" Just now, the one who didn't know the depth and the weight shouted.
Zhang Yang looked over and was an unknown villager. At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Yang with eager eyes, but he did not find that he had seriously violated discipline by saying so.
"What's your name? Where is it?
"My name is Liu Dezhi. I'm from the western village. Last night, I went to Liu Shancai's house to borrow food. When I saw Brother Xu Yi, I hooked my finger and killed the fierce yellow dog of Liu Shancai's family. I also want that kind of weapon."
"Haha." The 100-person team laughed, and the villager also felt as if he had said something wrong and blushed.
"I emphasize again, everyone, please note that since you have joined the team, you are an ordinary soldier. As a soldier, you have to obey the officer's orders. Don't try to make any demands. What you need is absolute obedience. If you don't want to, you can leave now. When you get to the battlefield, if there is anyone If you dare not obey the order, or even dare to negotiate with the officer and make a request, it will be immediately dealt with by military law!" Zhang Yang said harshly with a straight face. Everyone has no right to choose weapons. Today, we will train with bamboo poles first, and tomorrow we will send spears to you. As for the fire, whoever has made great achievements in the battle will be sent to you! Did you hear it clearly?
"Yes!" Everyone shouted together.
Xu Yi, this Xu Yi, why did you go to Liu Shancai's house to borrow food and kill his dog? But it's good. When these people see that their weapons are so sharp, I'm afraid they all want to have them. If they want to have them, it's very simple and make contributions. In this way, fighting is the way to stimulate them to kill the enemy bravely.
I don't know if Zhang Yang knew that Xu Yi not only killed his dog, but also didn't let go of any of them. I don't know how he would feel. However, those people did a lot of evil, and most of them died in the hands of the villagers. Xu Yi would have been ready to talk. Besides, if it hadn't been for the big families last night, With a strong effect, can so many people come to him today?
Zhang Yang inspected the salt farm and took the guard to ride to Lv Zhen's headquarters in the south. He was still waiting there to see if there was any enemy. If the people in Dingxi Farm were dispatched, they would definitely pass by here.
Lv Zhen chose a Gaogang. Below the Gaogang, there is a path connecting the major salt farms. There are withered weeds on both sides. not far away, there is the slowly flowing Chuanchang River. To the east, you can see the endless sea.
"Brother, we didn't bring a boat when we came here this time. What if they attack from the water?" Lu Zhen asked.
"Don't worry about this." Zhang Yang said, "We had a raid last night. If we took the waterway, it would be too slow. We captured a large number of horses. Of course, we still took the land faster. Therefore, if the tars want to rescue the Baiju salt farm, they will definitely choose to go by land. Besides, as long as it is past today, Shixin will come with weapons, and we can attack them from the waterway.
Lv Zhen nodded. It's already afternoon. It seems that there is still no movement over there.
"Brother, did you move too fast last night to destroy all the enemies in the salt field, and no one ran out to report the news?" Lu Zhen asked.
"This... The tars dare not say, but those salt diced people, one by one, the other. There must have been a run out. Now, it depends on what those salt farms plan. If they don't move, we have to take the initiative to attack. Zhang Yang said.
Zhang Yang looked at Dingxi Field in the distance, in the south. Why hasn't it moved yet? Is it that they have not reacted so fast that they have done it by themselves?
Zhang Yang stayed quietly for an hour, but still didn't find any movement. He very much hoped that the enemy would come over. On this dangerous plain, hundreds of tar cavalry would also be killed by Lv Zhen's men. However, if he went to the salt field and hid behind various items, he would bring more injuries to himself. Death.
When he returned to the salt farm, Zhang Yang found that the first battalion was full. Moreover, Shixin, who usually slithe, has actually shipped the weapons this time. Although the base is not very far from here and it is also windy, Zhang Yang is still relatively satisfied that it can be transported so quickly.
Five hundred soldiers have got the fine steel spear and held it in their hands. It's heavy. This is the sharp weapon to kill! They are more energetic, and the newly arrived Tianque is their goal.
The setting sun has gone down, and the distant sky, the sunset glow reveals a gorgeous fuchsia. Will it be so calm tomorrow?
