Zhao Tai looked at the school field and saw that the soldiers were practicing well. He couldn't help raising his whip and praised first, "Yes, it's like that. Everyone has worked hard."
Chen Zhong smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief is ridiculous. This is what we should do. People like me are just afraid that they don't do well enough to satisfy the commander-in-chief."
"It has only been a year since we formed the Zhongyi Army, but we have won great victories one after another. All of this is due to your contribution. I am very satisfied." Zhao Tai changed the topic, "However, I have a small suggestion. Each battalion trains Everyone, they are working behind closed doors. I think we should choose a place for them to practice. The whole army will compete, and the top three will be rewarded by the commander and the soldiers. "
As soon as everyone heard Zhao Tai's words, they immediately became interested.
"Commander, how do you compare?" Liu Dun rubbed his hands.
He is the commander of the Panshi Battalion, and his subordinates are well-equipped, so he will definitely be in the top three.
Zhao Tai stroked his beard and pointed his whip at the training troops, "Just like this infantry army, if you train well, you will panic when you see thousands of horses rushing on the battlefield. I think I can let the cavalry and A fight with infantry so that both sides can gain valuable experience.”
Liu Dun immediately looked at Wanyan Chengde, "My Panshi Battalion is in formation, do you, the Tiger Cavalry Battalion, dare to charge?"
Wanyan Chengde frowned slightly, and Wanyan Chenghu at the side immediately said: "Why don't you dare?"
"Your heavy steps are forming in the wilderness, how can the cavalry charge at you?" Zhao Tai waved his hand, looked at Li Chunzhu aside and said: "Let the Huaiyuan Camp compete with the Huqi Camp."
Li Chunzhu did not expect that Zhao Tai would order his general, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When Wanyan Chengde heard that he was fighting with the Huaiyuan camp, he immediately said: "The last general has taken the order. Commander Li, I will let your troops get into formation first."
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Each battalion competes and strives to be true. Li Chunzhu, your troops will set off from the camp and go to Liujia Town, twenty miles north of the city, and arrive within three days. Wanyan Chengde and your Tiger Cavalry Battalion are responsible for blocking the attack. If Huaiyuan When the battalion arrives at Liujia Town, it is judged that the Huaiyuan camp is victorious, and vice versa, the Tiger Cavalry camp is victorious. The winning side will eat meat for five days."
Upon hearing this award, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it.
They have just been appointed, and if they can bring their subordinates to eat meat, they will definitely gain the support of the soldiers.
Zhao Tai glanced at the two of them, "Do you two have any objections?"
The two of them immediately clasped their fists and said, "In this humble position, obey the commander's orders!"
Zhao Tai immediately said: "Put on the training equipment and prepare for half a day before starting the drill."
In the afternoon, Wanyan Chengde led the Tiger Cavalry Battalion to leave the camp early and formed an array directly outside the camp.
Huaiyuan Camp is a battalion of new recruits, and the road to Liujia Town is a smooth plain. Every soldier of the Tiger Cavalry Camp is full of confidence and ready to eat meat.
"Commander, when the Huaiyuan Battalion comes out, I will immediately lead my cavalry to attack and ensure that the battle will be resolved within an hour!" Wanyan Chenghu, riding proudly on his horse, had a arrogant look on his face.
Wanyan Chengde was also quite confident, "Today, the commander-in-chief will take a look at the results of our training with the Tiger Cavalry Battalion!"
In the camp, the soldiers of Huaiyuan Camp were still eating.
Qianhu Zhou Baoguo came over angrily, "Commander, Guisun from the Tiger Cavalry Camp is too bullying."
Li Xizhu said calmly: "What's going on?"
"Those turtles are blocking the gate of the camp. They want to defeat us when we go out!" Zhou Baoguo said angrily: "They are just looking at me as a new recruit. They are jealous that the commander will gain the commander's trust and be the first to be banned." For the commander!"
Li Xizhu heard about the Tiger Cavalry Camp and blocked the door directly, feeling a little unhappy.
Wanyan Chengde and Wanyan Chenghu wanted to embarrass him in the entire army.
"Ignore them! Send the order to rest today and leave camp tomorrow morning!" Li Xizhu said.
Zhou Baoguo said in surprise: "The commander, the marshal and the brothers from other battalions are all looking at us. If we don't go out, won't people think we are afraid of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion."
Li Xizhu smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief gives us three days. Why are you in a hurry? Just do what I want."
Zhou Baoguo could only accept the order, then walked to the crowd and said to the soldiers who were packing their bags: "Stop packing, we are all taking a rest."
In the distance, Zhao Tai led a group of people to watch the exercise. After waiting for a long time, the Huaiyuan camp was not seen leaving the camp.
"Commander, the Huaiyuan Battalion is probably frightened and the battalion is afraid to come out. Why don't we let the Tiger Cavalry Battalion retreat further!" Liu Dun said with a smile.
"Yes!" Sun Li said: "Wanyan Chengde went a little too far. After all, he is his brother. It is a bit unethical to block the door directly."
Zhao Tai glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "If we were enemies, would we save face and maintain friendship with you?"
After hearing this, several people lowered their heads, feeling that Li Chunzhu would be in trouble this time and would probably be bullied by the Tiger Cavalry Battalion in front of the entire army.
At this time, a group of cavalry galloped over, "Report! The commander of Huaiyuan Battalion ordered that the whole battalion rest in the camp and leave the camp tomorrow morning!"
The scope of the exercise was relatively wide, and Zhao Tai could not have a panoramic view, so he asked the two armies to report the decision to the exercise command post when making a decision.
Zhao Tai and many generals will be able to understand the situation of the exercise and make judgments through the decisions made by both parties.
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "Continue to deliver the news."
At this time, the Huqi Battalion had been stationed outside the camp for a long time, but the Huaiyuan Battalion was not seen coming out. Wanyan Chenghu couldn't help but asked: "The Huaiyuan Battalion was frightened by us and did not dare to leave the camp!"
Wanyan Chengde frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not a real war. No one will die. What do they have to be afraid of? I think they think we are blocked outside the door and have no chance to come out now, so they want to go out at night." Camp, quietly head to Liujia Town!"
Wanyan Chenghu asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Wanyan Chengde said: "Stand back and send scouts to keep an eye on them!"
Early the next morning, Zhao Tai got up from bed, came to the command post, and asked, "What's going on?"
Sun Li, who was on duty last night, said: "Last night, the Huaiyuan Camp sent a small group of troops to create noise. The Tiger Cavalry Camp was afraid that the Huaiyuan Camp would quietly leave the camp, so they almost didn't sleep all night."
Zhao Tai nodded, "It seems that there are quite a few problems for the Tiger Cavalry Battalion to win."
At this time, a general came in and said, "Commander, Huaiyuan Camp has come out!"
"Oh?" Zhao Tai said immediately: "Have a look!"
At that moment, Zhao Tai came out of the tent and climbed up to the watchtower. He saw three thousand soldiers from the Huaiyuan camp forming a formation in the wilderness.
Three thousand soldiers, one hundred in number, formed a phalanx in the wilderness with spears outside and crossbowmen inside.
Compared with large formations, these small formations take less time to form and quickly take shape, which is a good way to deal with cavalry surprise attacks.
Because it takes time to set up a large formation of several thousand people in the wilderness, this small formation can be set up in a very short time.
At this time, the cavalry of the Huqi Camp saw the Huaiyuan Camp forming an array out of the city. Wanyan Chenghu immediately clamped his horse's belly and led the cavalry to attack the Huaiyuan Camp...
