Chapter 4

When Cui Po and the seventh men roared into the west schoolyard of the city, they saw a crowd of chaos, untidy soldiers, and soldiers carrying pots and pans. What is even more incredible is that there are many small vendors who are pushing carts and carrying loads in the camp to start business.

The noise of soldiers, the playful children, and the hawking of vendors were mixed together. This military camp was only more lively than the vegetable market. Even though Cui Po had been mentally prepared, this situation still made him laugh and cry. The eight family members who accompanied him were even more stunned. Several of them looked at each other, just wondering if they had gone to the wrong place.

Cui Po stopped the horse for a moment, suppressed his anger and changed his appearance to a harmonious look. He rode his horse slowly into the camp. A soldier with fast legs came in to report. At a moment, he saw Wang Daniu and dozens of military officers wearing various costumes greeted him.

After the mutual greetings, Cui Po accompanied everyone to the reading school stage to sit down. The terrain here is quite high, and the clamor below is full of clamor and silence.

Wang Daniu and others were about to beat the drum to gather the soldiers who were leading the military rations for review, but they reached out for Cui Po and stopped him, "I'll say it when they get it. It's okay if you and I are waiting on it." This sentence immediately brought a lot of admiration that "Mr. Cui loves soldiers as much as his son". There was also a brigade general Cui Pokpo, who was reborn in Bai Qi and Li Guang's return, which was worse than that!

This kind of praise only made Cui Po feel chilled all over his body. Even though he claimed to be calm, he could not stand it. Seeing the sky, he was a distance from Wu Fashion, so he interrupted: "Everyone is too proud. Now, please ask the general to introduce the military system to me?"

His voice was only made these low-level military officers feel extremely comfortable. Without waiting for the speech of the Captain Wang, who was closest to him, an impatient bearded military officer had already answered, "I'll explain it to you." After saying that, he raised his head and looked around proudly, and had to exchange for countless contemptuous gazes.

"Sir, look! Most of the soldiers who received money and grain were gathered together. These fifty people were teams, and they were run by one team. The two teams formed a brigade, with one brigade commander; the two brigades were one regiment, and the chief officer was the captain of the Rong; the fourth regiment was the first military palace, and the commander was led by the Renyong Clerk; the prefectures in this prefecture had four military palaces, and the military government led by the captain Wang of the school has three regiments, responsible for the protection of food and grass during the operation of the army. As for the united soldiers, they were all mud legs for farming. Although the system was the same as ours, it was impossible to fight a war." Although this beard seemed very rough, he was quite clever and clever, and his explanation was clear. However, in words, he showed disdain for the united soldiers of the militia organization everywhere, which made Cui Po sneer in his heart: "Just wait for such a 'regular army', what is the difference between you waiting for such a 'regular army' and the united soldiers of the mud legs?"

"Oh, this general's words are indeed very good as a martial artist. His words are concise and simple, okay!" After gritting his teeth and saying these two good words, Cui Po suddenly pointed to a soldier with a bright hair in the schoolyard and asked: "Why are there so many elderly soldiers in this army? In this way, if a sudden war occurs, how should this combat power be guaranteed?"

"This is a custom of the state. Once you are a military member and are less than 60 years old, you cannot return home. Otherwise, you will be treated as a deserter. This is a beheading. Fortunately, you don't expect them to fight on weekdays, just do chores of burying pots and making rice and cleaning the market." The person who answered this time was Wang Daniu beside him.

"In recent years, they have suffered disasters every year and the miscellaneous taxes are high. They can't survive at home, so they have to come to join their relatives who joined the army. After all, they can be considered a reunion and have a meal. Except for a few wealthy vassal states in the south, this is the case in the north." Seeing Cui Po looking at the women and children walking in the camps, Wang Daniu had already answered in advance without waiting for his question.

"I have to take the family and take the family in the war, and there is no way to fight this battle!" Cui Po sighed in his heart. This is also the reason why the Tang Chu's powerful soldier who had been stuck and won repeatedly now has few wins and more defeats. But he knew that this matter was too wide and it was not something he could worry about now, so he could only sigh and give up.

While they were chatting here, it was already the day when they were traveling through the sky, and it was getting closer and closer to noon. At this time, the military camp that had been chasing for a morning had just gradually calmed down, and the distribution of money and grain was coming to an end.

Just as Cui Po was about to gather the army with his drums, he saw a few men with fleshy faces running on the stage, wearing soldiers. The one in front lifted up his shirt and wiped his sweat while whispering: "I'm so tired. Today is so tired. Ye Xiaoman, this damn Ye Xiaoman asked him to receive forty liters of rice grain, but he still dared to make noise. He took a few old punches from the old man to be honest. By the way, Lao Wang, what's the matter with you looking for brothers to come?"

"Rareless! Haven't you seen the new director of the military officer here? Why don't you pay a visit to me quickly! It's Lord Cui who wants to see you." Wang Daniu glanced at Cui Po with an awkward face and shouted.

The five people were as sniffed as a hoist, and they were afraid of him when they heard this. After sneering, they looked at Cui Po, and then went forward to salute and worship. Lord Cui gritted his teeth and comforted the "heroes". After seeing them off the school reading stand, he suddenly shouted "beat the drum!"

The loud shout was accompanied by the rumbling sound of war drums that had just calmed down. The military camp that had just calmed down suddenly jumped up. After listening to the sergeant who had been no longer trained for a long time, he woke up like a dream and ran back to the camp tent. He hurriedly dragged out his spear and put on dusty armor. While tying a rope, he rolled and crawled towards the schoolyard.

After only three incense sticks, thousands of soldiers like hungry people arrived one after another, and then half of the incense stick was finally arranged in order. They looked at Cui Po in black armor on the school reading stand in a daze, and they wanted to see what the new military officer wanted to play.

However, what awaited them was a dead silence. The only thing left in the field was the rumbling sound of war drums that shocked the world. The sound of war drums obscured all other sounds. The soldiers raised their eyes and stared at the high school reading stand. Almost no one noticed that a team of black iron cavalry with thousands of people had already entered the school ground under the cover of war drums.

It was not until these black-armored cavalry formed a formation in the three mountains and earth, and scattered them to tightly surround the entire schoolyard. Many soldiers in the schoolyard were suddenly awakened and looked at the knights with swords drawn out of their sheaths, crossbows, and cold-faced knights. The atmosphere of doubt and uneasiness spread rapidly in the field. The more sensible veterans saw the way and exclaimed: "This... this is the whirlwind cavalry led by Li Crazy."
