The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 805
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin would not know about such things. If he knew how the Black Banner Army was formed, he would definitely not think about creating another Black Banner Army.

There is a popular saying in the killer world, that is to be proud of beheading thousands or ten thousand people. You must know that everyone in the Black Banner Army is beheaded by thousands or even ten thousand people.

Now these people have a thirst for blood, and if they want to go to the battlefield, what kind of pleasure on the battlefield is it for.

Once these people are on the battlefield, they have an aura that makes people dare not approach, which is also one of their invincible magic weapons.

If you think about it, when you show up and shock others, how can you fight this battle? This is the unique aura of the Black Banner Army.

How many people's lives were used to train it, do the Forbidden Army have such conditions, even if they did, they wouldn't work so hard!
"Why can't the Black Banner Army be trained? Don't you have a Black Banner Army? How can you say that you can't train it now? If everyone has the strength of the Black Banner Army, the world can be unified as soon as possible. At that time, the common people You don’t have to suffer from this war anymore.”

Zhao Kuangyin thought that Zhao Xu didn't want to do this because he wanted to be lazy, so he said it.

"That's not the case. Even if I gather all these black flag troops, we won't be able to train a black flag army early. It's not a question of whether we want to, but a question of whether we can."

Zhao Xu could only explain it this way. As for how Zhao Kuangyin understood it, Zhao Xu didn't know. Do you think he didn't want all the troops to become like the Black Banner Army?

But it can't, this is the most painful thing for him, and he can't do anything about it, Zhao Kuangyin thought he didn't want to be responsible for such a thing!
"Don't give me a sloppy eye. The quality of the forbidden army is already good. Now it is a bit difficult to train them to be like the black flag army, but it should be possible."

The Forbidden Army is the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty. Even though it is not as good as the Black Banner Army, the difference is not very big!

"Let me tell you the truth. Do you know why all the people in death row all over the country disappeared overnight? According to the investigation, they were all executed, right?"

Zhao Xu knew that if he didn't talk about it now, Zhao Kuangyin would not let it go, so let's do it honestly.

"I know, did I send someone to investigate back then? What's wrong?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand what Zhao Xu meant by saying this at this time.

Back then, Zhao Kuangyin was still worried that there was some conspiracy in it, but anything can be done.

"These people, the Black Banner Army, wouldn't be those..." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly came to his senses. When Zhao Xu asked this question at this time, didn't that mean that the Black Banner Army were those people?

Zhao Xu nodded affirmatively at this time, indicating that Zhao Kuangyin guessed right, the Black Banner Army was composed of those prisoners.

At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin sent a large number of capable generals to investigate this matter, just to see what happened here.

But the people who went there got nothing, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything in order to stabilize the overall situation, but he never forgot about it.

"You guessed right. It is these people, those prisoners who have died. These people form the current Black Banner Army. Do you think we can have another Black Banner Army now?"

Zhao Kuangyin got an affirmative answer from his son, he was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Why did you want to use these death row prisoners in the first place? You must know that I have been worried for a long time."

"Actually, at that time, I didn't expect that there would be today's Black Banner Army. It was just by chance that I learned that some people in this death row were strange people. Law, become a death row prisoner."

People in troubled times can't help themselves, and human life is not as good as dog life. Naturally, there are quite a lot of people in prison.

"At this time, Khitan is not honest. Our Great Song Dynasty is in the initial stage, so I decided to use these death row prisoners. Anyway, they are all dead. Now give them a chance to survive. They agreed, and I also promised that if they If they have made meritorious service or died in battle, they will take care of their families."

"So these people were willing to work for you at that time?" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help interjecting.

Thinking about it is also true, now not only do not have to die, but also have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and survive. For the current death row prisoners, this is a life-saving straw, and of course they will grasp it.

"You're right. I just wanted these people to inflict serious damage on Khitan. It took half a month, but they practiced the phalanx. Although it wasn't perfect, it was okay. So they went to Khitan."

Zhao Xu said it very easily, and it was done in a few words, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't think so.

The hardships involved are beyond ordinary people's comprehension, otherwise the Black Banner Army wouldn't be so powerful.

"Did you know that they hacked and killed no less than a hundred people every day, and the continuous days of fighting made their eyes red and thirsty for blood. More than 2 of them survived in Khitan and less than 5000 came back alive. They later fought There are 10 people left at the borders of various countries, but no less than [-] people died at their hands, this is how the Black Banner Army became famous."

The Black Banner Army is trained with blood and life, and it is fought every day on the edge of life and death.

"Why are these prisoners the ones who massacred those Khitans in Khitan? That's why Shu thought that Song Dynasty was going to attack them. It was these people?"

Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't believe that it was the Black Banner Army who made Khitan into such a mess. No, they were still prisoners at that time.

At that time, more than 3 Khitan's elite wolf army were wiped out. The identities of these people were unknown. Although there were corpses left on the ground, it was impossible to confirm that the weapons they used were all Khitan's.

Then these people continued to attack Khitan's camp. According to statistics, Khitan lost a total of nearly 9 people.

Because he didn't know the identity of the attacker, the Khitan emperor Yelujing thought that the Khitan's internal forces were against him, so he also killed many Khitan nobles.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be these death row prisoners. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know until today that they were the death row prisoners trained by his son.

If there were a few more black flag troops like this, wouldn't this Khitan be over long ago, and unifying the world would not be a piece of cake.

"Now that you know how these Black Banner Army came to be, the current imperial army is absolutely impossible, no matter how hard they train, they will not be like the Black Banner Army, because they can't have so many bloody battles to let them go. They go to actual combat, especially what kind of murderous spirit, to be honest, the Black Banner Army cannot be copied."

The aura of a bloody battle that has not been experienced will never be raised. The Black Banner Army was honed in the battle of life and death. No one knows what they have experienced, but judging from their aura, they have killed a lot.

It is impossible to train such an army now, so the Black Banner Army cannot be copied, and maybe there is still a chance in troubled times.
