    The military camp is no longer divided into civilian camp and military camp, but is divided into left and right camps, and everyone is wearing military uniforms.

    Before approaching the military camp, I heard cheers and laughter.

    "Compared with the atmosphere in the city and the busyness of the civilian officials, the military camp is actually more relaxed.

    Zhang Xiaoqian and the officers first went to the military camp to explain the chores to the general in charge, and then hurried to the school grounds. The excitement in the school grounds was not over yet, with cheers accompanied by the violent sound of horse hooves.

    Zhang Xiaoqian squeezed in and saw only ten horses galloping in the spacious school yard. The soldiers on the horses were tall, wearing light armor, equipped with horns, bows, strings, guns, hammers, sticks and other strange weapons. They were very close to each other.  But the speed did not slow down at all. His body undulated and swayed, and he followed the galloping horse around the wooden posts.

    Accompanied by the whistling of the iron whistle, the soldiers standing on both sides raised their crossbows and fired bamboo arrows. Immediately, ten people leaned down almost at the same time, with different agility and different postures, causing the onlookers to exclaim and cheer.

    After passing the arrows, the soldiers on horseback did not get up. They opened their horned bows and shot at the straw men of different sizes standing in front of them. The arrows hit the vital points.

    Accompanied by cheers, the cavalrymen crossed the grass target. They lowered their bodies and got up. They somehow put away their horns and bows, and already held weapons in their hands. This time the weapons were different for everyone. There were guns, knives, etc.  With sticks, they roared and rushed into the straw man in front, hitting them with one blow.

    The thunderous shouts and shouts in the school grounds made people's blood boil. Zhang Xiaoqian's face turned red with excitement. He didn't reluctantly leave until the guards behind him poked him.

    "The cavalry is so majestic." The noise behind him after leaving the military camp became smaller and smaller. Zhang Xiaoqian still talked about this to himself, "Look at their horses and their weapons."

    ??What man doesn¡¯t want to follow the Emperor Wu with a white horse and a golden saddle, and a hundred thousand flags hanging in the Yangtze River?

    "Zhang Xiaoqian, give up, these cavalry are selected very strictly."

    "Yes, it is said that in addition to height, there are also requirements for arm length."

    "Zhang Xiaoqian, you are too short."

    The fellow guards were laughing and joking.

    Zhang Xiaoqian was unconvinced: "This is only the first batch of light cavalry fighters, and there is a second batch of scouts." The hand holding the reins tightened, he must strive to be selected by then

    "Zhang Xiaoqian, Zhang Xiaoqian, are the rebels coming?"

    When the people on the roadside saw the guards, they immediately asked repeatedly, interrupting Zhang Xiaoqian¡¯s imagination.

    Zhang Xiaoqian took a deep breath and repeated the answer: "No, don't worry." He galloped past the people, holding the reins tighter in his hands.

    He wants to be a warrior who kills the enemy, and uses the sword and gun in his hand to appease the people, rather than using words.

    "What's wrong with the words?" Yuanji stood in the corridor and looked at him, frowning.

    " If Mrs. Wu is a fairy, Yuanji is her messenger in the world. She has a high status in Dou County and not everyone can come into contact with her. However, although Zhang Xiaoqian is just a servant, it is not difficult to meet Yuanji.

    Yuanji is the savior of him and their village, and they have a friendship to fight together.

    Zhang Xiaoqian stood in the yard with his cheeks bulging: "Anyway, I don't want to be a servant. I want to be a soldier. I want to go out and kill the enemy. Master Yuan, don't you have to choose a second batch of cavalry? Let me try."

    Yuanji said: "To kill the enemy, you don't have to go out of the city. You have to be a soldier and use swords and guns. Words are just as powerful."

    Zhang Xiaoqian pursed his lips: "Master Yuan, please don't use your words to deceive me."

    Yuan Ji smiled: "Why am I deceiving you? Xiao Qian, don't underestimate the power of the people and words. You can kill thieves if you stabilize the people's hearts."

    Zhang Xiaoqian looked at him, doubtful.

    "Ten panicked people can destroy a city, but ten unarmed people inspired by words can also kill an enemy." Yuan Ji said, "Zhang Xiaoqian, you are a police officer of Dou County, a native of Dou County, Dou County  The people trust you, you can appease them, and you can also make them form an army. Are you more powerful at killing an enemy by yourself, or are you more powerful at killing an enemy by yourself with hundreds of soldiers?"

    ¡°That¡¯s it, Zhang Xiaoqian straightened his chest and his eyes brightened.

    "Xiao Qian, whether we can wholeheartedly kill the enemy outside depends on whether the rear is stable." Yuan Ji said, patting him on the shoulder, "Young Madam also often said that only with the people can we have soldiers, and only then can we have real soldiers."  Stable and invincible, whether we can go out of the city and fight invincibly, whether Dou County is invincible depends on you."

    Zhang Xiaoqian¡¯s voice was loud and clear: ¡°Master Yuan, don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Looking at the young man who walked in like a fighting cock, he looked like a gooseWen Kuo left, Yuan Ji smiled, turned around and entered the room.

    The room was very lively. In the hall, Jinjie took the woman to watch the juggling. The juggler held a chirping bird in his hand. Kumquat took the woman's hand and stroked it carefully. The juggler took his hand back and put it on his body.  After swaying forward, accompanied by the perfect scream of kumquat, the juggler stretched his hand to the woman's hand again, and what the woman touched was no longer a bird, but a round dried fruit.

    The woman smiled, picked up the dried fruit, put it in her mouth and ate it.

    Yuan Ji withdrew his gaze and walked to the other side. Li Minglou was sitting in front of the case, looking down at something. The table was filled with books of all sizes. Opposite was the chief bookkeeper. Yu Qian and other officials were sitting with books in their hands.  .

    "What's the matter, Xiaoqian?" Li Minglou asked.

    Yuanji said: "I have already persuaded him to join the second batch of cavalry."

    Li Minglou smiled.

    The chief clerk frowned and said: "The second batch of cavalry is really not good, the cost is too high."

    He shook the booklet in his hand.

    "A person needs to be equipped with three horses, as well as a veterinarian, a groom, and the consumption of beans, wheat and straw. One cavalryman is comparable to raising ten people."

    Li Minglou asked Yu Qian: "With this kind of equipment, can we still raise two hundred cavalry?"

    Yu Qian, who was dark and thin, had a timid look on his face. Although he was in charge of Li Minglou's money, he rarely came to talk to Li Minglou. However, his words did not hesitate at all and he immediately answered: "People's  The consumption can be reduced by another three points, but it can last up to five months.¡±

    "What are the trends of Andezhong's rebels?" Li Minglou looked at Yuanji.

    Yuan Ji walked to the map and pointed at the location of Huainan Road: "Almost all the east side has been lost. In addition to the soldiers and horses from western Zhejiang, the thieves hiding on Xuanwu Road are also very likely to invade Huainan Road. However, according to the information from the scouts,  Ande Zhong's troops avoided our vicinity of Dou County."

    The chief secretary breathed a sigh of relief and murmured something.

    "It's not like they won't move us." Yuanji drew a half circle on the map, "There will be a siege outside Dou County."

    "How long does it take to call?" Li Minglou asked.

    Yuanji said: "It depends on how quickly other places fall."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Less than five months." Yuanji concluded.

    "Then there won't be enough time to practice cavalry." The chief clerk said happily. After speaking, he raised his hand and gave himself a small mouth.

    What¡¯s so happy about this!  Life is so comfortable, why not eat minced meat!

    Yuanji didn¡¯t laugh, and continued what the Chief Registrar said: ¡°Time is not the main reason. We don¡¯t have enough war horses, and we don¡¯t have enough blacksmiths to make weapons.¡±

    There are only so many war horses in Dewey¡¯s military camp in Dou County. The weapons are all brought from the government road. Dou County is not qualified to make them by itself. The blacksmith in the small town can only draw the gourd, and neither the quantity nor quality can meet the demand.

    From the time she occupied Dou County to the present, the people she took in could barely support a military camp. The supplies she had hoarded were enough to feed the soldiers and civilians in Dou County, but there were almost no supplies for the war.

    Li Minglou sighed, Dou County is still too small.

    ?¡­

    ?¡­

    When the rapid sound of horse hooves came, the children running in the field raised their heads warily. This time, they did not relax, but became nervous.

    The abnormality made the working people raise their heads and look over.

    There was a group of soldiers and horses galloping on the road. They were soldiers and horses from Dou County, but this time their bodies were stained with blood. The horse in the middle was carrying two people, wearing military uniforms, covered in blood, and they didn't know whether to live or die  

    Are you encountering an enemy and fighting?  The rebels are already approaching Dou County?

    The people in the fields were panicked and looked at the chief. The chief carrying the gong was also very nervous, but there was still no order to return to the city.

    They are working outside, and there are soldiers and horses on guard both in front and behind. If there is danger, a warning will be issued.

    The director took a few deep breaths: "Nothing, just keep working."

    Even so, he didn¡¯t dare to loosen his grip on the gong.

    The people were worried but obeyed the orders, lowered their heads and continued to work. Life is different from before. If you don't obey the orders, you don't know how to live.

    This group of soldiers passed along the street and rushed into the county government office. They helped the two injured soldiers down. One soldier was unconscious, and the other barely opened his eyes and saw people wearing official robes and a man in black robes.  And the person covered by the black umbrella appeared in sight

    It is like this in the legend. With the last bit of his strength, he struggled and fell towards the figure.

    "Mrs. Wu, please go and save Fucheng quickly. Guangzhou Prefecture is about to be captured." He burst into tears.

    Weeping for his relatives who don¡¯t know whether to live or die in the city, crying for his comrades who died along the way, crying for his comrades who raised their swords and guns towards him, crying for the despair of not knowing what to do
