Horse on the World

Chapter 901 Tang Hu's City Defense Army
Tang Hu stood upright outside the gate of the camp, his whole body was armored, and he was actually fully armed. Although it was still morning and the sun was not so fierce, Tang Hu's face was soaked with sweat, and his eye mask was already wet.Behind him, two rows of city guard generals, like their superiors, were fully armed and stood straight and straight outside the gate, while behind them, two rows of soldiers lined up from the camp gate to the inside.

Li Qing rode his horse to the gate, seeing this scene, he couldn't help being angry and funny, what kind of tricks was Tang Hu playing?Seeing Li Qing approaching, Tang Hu trotted over, his armor clinking, he stretched out his hand to hold the rein for Li Qing, and supported Li Qing with the other hand, "General, you are here!"

Li Qing scolded with a smile: "I'm not seventy or eighty years old, do I need your help for the next horse?"

Tang Hu chuckled and didn't argue, but he didn't let go of the hand that supported Li Qing. Li Qing jumped off the horse, raised his whip, and pointed at the gate, "What is this for? Show me that you are good at running the army?"

Tang Hu grinned and said with a big smile: "I knew I couldn't hide from the commander in chief, Du Mazi, Du Mazi, get out of here, look at the bad attention you gave me, the commander in chief can see it at a glance !"

"Who is Du Mazi?" Li Qing wondered.

Tang Hu sniffled, "Marshal, it's the master I invited. Marshal also knows how many brushes I have. Although Jing'er forced me to read a lot of words, I can read books and military newspapers by myself now, but I don't know how many brushes I have. The writing is really like a dog crawling on the stage! So I hired a master to help me write the military newspaper and sort out the copywriting. No, when I heard that the commander-in-chief was coming, Du Mazi asked me to straighten out the military appearance. Didn't I come here to let the commander-in-chief see my ability to govern the army?"

While speaking, an old Confucian scholar came out from the gate. When he saw Li Qing, panic flashed in his eyes. When he came close, he knelt down, "Du Yundong, a grassroots man, has seen the lord!"

"Forget it, forget it, since you are Huzi's master, there is no need to be formal, get up!"

Wielding his horsewhip, Li Qing walked inward while sizing up the soldiers on both sides, "Well, yes, yes, Master Du's attention is good, Huzi, you are quite capable, the city defense army has changed a lot. Lo!"

Hu Zi proudly said: "Of course, Commander, although it's a bit short of pulling them up to fight now, I have figured out the appearance of the army first."

Li Qing stopped in his tracks and turned his head, "Your military appearance has been improved, but I heard that the logistics department of the military department has been tormented by you. For thousands of sets of Kaijia, you are ashamed of the logistics department. A few chief officials blocked the official hall for a long time, and they gave up when they got it, why, isn't what I gave you enough?"

Tang Hu laughed dryly: "Commander, this person relies on clothes. You don't know that when I came to the city defense army, the city defense army was just a bunch of beggars. They didn't want anything. Although the commander brought some equipment, but Not enough, there is a gap, I am too embarrassed to hit you again, I can only go to trouble with them, fortunately, they are very face-saving, once I go, I will ask for clothes, knives and knives, whatever you want , isn’t this what the City Defense Army looks like now?”

Li Qing smiled slightly.

Since Feng Guo's rebellion, the city defense army has been reduced to a marginal figure. A large number of officers have been dismissed and liquidated, and a group of soldiers have been retired. Later, when Yang Yidao was in charge of Dingzhou City Defense, it was also when he formed the Central Group Army. In fact, the newly established Central Group Army is in charge, and the city defense army is also marginalized.Such a group of guys whose parents don't love and grandma don't love, the treatment can be imagined.

But when Tang Hu arrived, it was quite different.Everyone knows the friendship between Tang Hu and Li Qing, the brothers who passed away, and the in-laws of his sons and daughters, are even regarded by Li Qing as his confidant. What's the matter, the logistics department was blocked by Tang Hu, in fact, it was because a large amount of ordnance had just been sent to the front line, and there was really nothing in the warehouse. Even so, Tang Hu chased him hard until he promised to send the things to the front at what time You have to get out of here.

The current city defense army can be described as a shotgun replacement, all the original equipment has been replaced, each of which is the latest and sharpest weapon in Dingzhou, the hundred-shot crossbow, first-grade bow, hand crossbow, steel armor, the best horse, decadent The city defense army that had been fighting for several years finally began to feel proud again.

There is a martial arts exercise on the school field. On the high platform, a general is waving a command flag and changing the semaphore, while the soldiers on the school field change their formation from time to time according to the change of the semaphore. One advances and the other retreats. You come and go. , although he was busy but not chaotic, Li Qing and others stopped to watch. The general on the stage obviously saw Li Qing, so he waved the flag a few times, and the team who was practicing shouted, and Xiaobu started to run. , It has been gathered into a neat and huge square array.A drill team of about 1 people was formed in no time, and even Li Qing, who had high demands on the army, nodded his head.

"Who is this general, why don't I know him?" Li Qing asked Tang Hu in a low voice.

Tang Hu said: "Commander, his name is Pang Dabiao. He was originally the deputy of Feng Guo in the Panshi Camp. Later, something happened to Feng Guo, and he was also implicated. He was imprisoned for a year or two for review. In the end, the Overwatch Council determined that he had nothing to do with the incident. Only then was he released. Although he retained his military position, he was unemployed at home. I knew him in the early years, and knew that he was a capable person. The commander also knew that I was good at fighting and charging. Practicing soldiers, playing with the formation, it would kill me, so I went to find him, and went to the military headquarters to guarantee my head, and then I got him back into the army. The city defense army can look like it is now, It’s all up to him, as for me, I’m actually just a housekeeper, getting weapons and supplies for the city defense army, and leaving the military training to him.”

Li Qing nodded, "In this way, he must be very grateful to you. You have found a good helper."

Tang Hu grinned, "That's right, the commander-in-chief doesn't know, the one who was promoted to the general with him back then is now the worst general Zhenyuan, only he is still a general Mingwei, and he is a bit miserable. He fished it out, and he was really grateful!"

Li Qing was silent for a moment, "Back then, the Panshi Battalion was burdened by Feng Guo. Although the entire army was not disbanded, the name of the battalion was cancelled. There were not a few officers from the Panshi Battalion who were implicated. Most of them were completely implicated. Huzi, now that you are in charge of them, I will give you the name of the Panshi Battalion again, after all, this name was given by thousands of soldiers back then, and it cannot be overwhelmed by Feng Guo alone!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Tang Hu's complexion changed, and he knelt down and saluted Li Qing very seriously, "I thank Marshal on behalf of the thousands of soldiers in the Panshi Battalion."

"Get up, get up!" Li Qing helped Tang Hu up, "What do you and my brother say about these empty etiquette?"

Just when Tang Hu was lifted up, a person not far from them burst into tears. It was the Pang Biao who was directing the drill on the stage, "Da Biao, why are you crying! A big man, every tear is not lightly flicked." !” Tang Hu said dissatisfiedly.

Pang Dabiao came forward, knelt down in front of Li Qing, his forehead became red and swollen, "Thank you, Lord, for restoring the Rock Camp."

Li Qing nodded. He won the title of Panshiying back then, and countless people died. As the deputy general of Panshiying back then, he was deeply moved to see the revoked Panshiying reappear!

"Since General Tiger trusts you and reuses you, I hope you will live up to his trust! Otherwise, your military uniform will be hard to protect." Li Qing said plainly.

"The minister must be so heartbroken that he is the master, and he will do his best in this Dingzhou!" Pang Dabiao kowtowed again, choked with sobs.

"Get up, the Panshi Battalion fought ferociously back then and was as immovable as a mountain. I hope you can restore its proper combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"

"I understand!"

Holding Tang Hu's hand, the two walked towards Tang Hu's Chinese army tent, Li Qing whispered: "This trick was taught by Zhong Jing!"

Tang Hu opened his one-eyed wide, and said somewhat dejectedly: "Nothing can be hidden from the commander-in-chief, indeed. Jing'er said that a person like me who leads the army must train and abolish the army. If you want to deal with your great affairs, Commander-in-Chief, there will be no redemption for a hundred deaths, so he gave me this notice, saying that as long as you find Pang Biao, let him return to the city defense army, and keep him to do things for me with all his heart. Unexpectedly, you also know this !"

Li Qing smiled hesitantly, "I guess you can't think of such a trick with your stupid head, but it's good. In this way, you can control this army more effectively. When you tell Pang Biao later, just say that you have already told me If you recommend him to be promoted to a higher level, he will soon be General Xuanwei."

"The commander-in-chief is asking me to sell him another favor?" Tang Hu opened his eyes wide.

"Wouldn't it be better to make him appreciate you more?" Li Qing chuckled.

"That can't be done. I have to tell him that this is the commander-in-chief. You saw that he trained well, and he personally pulled it out. He should also be grateful to you!" Tang Hu said seriously.

"You stupid head!" Li Qing smiled and tapped Tang Hu's helmet with a whip, making a loud noise, and Tang Hu couldn't help laughing.

"What about the five hundred black charcoal heads? Didn't I give them all to you? How about it?" Li Qing asked.

Tang Hu spread his hands, "Commander, this group of guys are tall and powerful, with terrifying strength, they are indeed good fighters, but they don't understand the language, so it is impossible for them to cooperate with other armies. Well, there is no good way, but when I was in Luoyang, I saw that Luoyang's Iron Armored Army was really powerful, so I came up with a trick, equipped them with Chongkai, issued a Mo Dao to each of them, and then focused on training them Queue, during the rehearsal, let them line up neatly, chanting and marching forward in unison, swinging knives together, tsk tsk, commander, guess what?"

"It's powerful?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"It's not only good, five hundred against two thousand, killing Pang Dabiao to the point of shame!" Tang Hu said triumphantly. "Look, Commander, that's my Chongkai Modao Squad!"

Li Qing raised his head and saw that outside Tang Hu's central army tent, a group of steel monsters were carrying Mo Dao, standing there like a city wall.
