Five hundred rangers, dressed in leather armor and carrying the banner of the Dragon Guard, were the first to appear on the school grounds.

To its left is a thousand sword and shield soldiers dressed in foot armor; On the right are a thousand pikemen dressed in foot armor.

They were followed by five hundred crossbowmen.

There is no shortage of short crossbows, long crossbows, gun crossbows, bed crossbows, all the same.

Carrying the banner of the Dragon Guard, the ranger took the lead in rushing to the school grounds, waving the flag in his hand, causing the people to scream again and again.

After rushing to the bottom of the stands, the rangers in the Dragon Guard army restrained the horses and waited for the infantry behind them.

"Boom......"

Sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and crossbowmen stepped into the school field step by step with heavy and neat steps.

The Buren Armor, which weighed more than sixty pounds and was composed of 1,825 armor pieces, weighed heavily on the soldiers of the Dragon Guard, making it impossible for them to speed up at all.

But, that's exactly what happened.

It makes their steps more steady, their steps more consistent, and the sound of their march is calm and heavy, like a beast moving slowly, unhurried, but full of momentum.

When the people saw the foot soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army entering the field, they were also intimidated by the heavy momentum, and they subconsciously held their breath one by one.

Less.

A deafening shout erupted.

Three points better than before.

The people don't understand war and government affairs, but when they face the imposing soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they will always involuntarily feel some pride, some excitement, and some excitement.

What made the people even more excited was the blades in the hands of the soldiers of the Dragon Guard.

It was a real knife and a real gun, not the silver-like pewter head used in martial arts exercises in the past.

"What a god......

"Eighty percent of the ...... to move the real character"

"Surely the dead will ......"

“……”

"In previous years, when I used martial arts, I used a silver-like pewter spear head, but it was always a little less imposing, but this real guy was more ...... feeling"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

“……”

The people talked and whispered.

The 3,000 soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army gathered under the stands.

Qi Lin, the commander of the left wing of the Dragon Guard Army, carried a glaive knife and saluted Zhao Zhen in the stands.

"Ministers and other officials see the official ......"

"See the official ......"

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army who followed behind him shouted loudly at the top of their voices.

They seemed to have exerted all their strength, and the voices of 3,000 people actually overshadowed the voices of hundreds of thousands of people around them.

Zhao Zhen heard the shouts of the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army, and he was shocked.

He has been practicing martial arts for more than two years, and he has long since departed from that soft and weak appearance.

Although he still looks soft and weak on the surface, he has a little more blood in his bones.

Therefore, after hearing the inspiring shouts of the soldiers of the Dragon Guard, I couldn't help but stimulate the blood courage in my heart.

"Good ......"

Zhao Zhen shouted hello.

Although Zhao Zhen prefers the Tiger Character Army in his heart, the Long Weijun performed well, and he naturally couldn't help but praise it.

After all, whether it is the Tiger Army or the Dragon Guard, they are all his army.

It's just that one was raised by him, and the other was given to someone else for foster care.

Kou Zhun coughed lightly.

Zhao Zhen realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly suppressed the small emotions in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Not bad...... Blood Courage is still good......"

The dragon guards were praised and saluted again.

The Long Wei Army, led by Qi Lin, arrived at a corner of the school field.

Zhao Zhen couldn't see the joy and anger on his face: "Xuanhu Zijun enters ......"

Chen Lin shook off the dust, walked to the most eye-catching place in the stands, and shouted loudly: "Xuanhu Zijun enters ......"

The soldiers of the forbidden army around the school grounds once again moved out of the way.

"Boom ......"

The sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded.

It's like a torrent.

The earth shook and trembled.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a thousand people galloping into the stadium on horseback, with uniform armor, uniform blades, and uniform horse coats.

Like a black-armored heavenly soldier stepping on a red cloud, he poured into the school field.

The appearance of the Dragon Guard Army is good-looking, and the appearance of the Tiger Army is even better.

The black armor and the red-maned horse that brushed together seemed to fill the heavens and the earth with black and red in an instant.

Five hundred spearmen and five hundred crossbowmen, guarded on the left and right sides.

The remaining 1,000 sword soldiers, followed.

The people watched the Tiger Army, which was more good-looking than the Dragon Guard, appear, and their shouts became more enthusiastic.

One by one, the little guys with cyan hats, when they entered the tiger army, poured into the crowd, took out pieces of paper from time to time, showed them to the people, and then took away the coupons from their hands, consistent copper coins.

The layman is watching the excitement, but the insider is watching the doorway.

Cao Wei, Gao Chu Gong, and Cao Yong, the three battlefield generals who were sitting not far from Zhao Zhen's side, raised their eyebrows when they saw the Tiger Character Army appear.

Without waiting for the three of them to speak.

Kou Zhun stared at the military formation of the Tiger Army, frowned and ordered Chen Lin beside him, "Go and call that stinky boy from Kou Ji to the old man." ”

Chen Lin agreed and sent someone to call Kou Ji.

Cao Wei and the three of them had a chance to speak.

"A thousand rangers, five hundred spearmen, five hundred crossbowmen, a thousand swordmen?"

Gao Di Gong said with a puzzled face, looked at Cao Wei and asked, "The Tiger Army wants to give up defense?" ”

In the empty school field, the shield soldier is definitely the main force of the main force.

As long as the shield soldiers formed a series of iron walls, they withstood the momentum of the enemy's charge.

Rangers, crossbowmen, and crossbowmen, under the support of shield soldiers, can win by flying kites alone.

Song Liao, Song Xixia, when fighting.

The kite flying tactic, with shield soldiers as the main force, has always been the most practical tactic.

The Liao army, which is proud of all countries and has unparalleled combat power, has repeatedly suffered in the kite flying tactics with shield soldiers as the main force, not to mention the tiger army, which has just been prepared for less than a year.

Cao Wei frowned and said: "The Tiger Army is already weak, and it took the initiative to give up defense, do you want to replace it with merit?" ”

Gao Zhi smiled disdainfully: "Replace the guard with merit? Joke! Although the Dragon Guard Army is not strong in combat, in terms of defense, it is also one of the best in my Great Song Dynasty. Just relying on the new troops in the Tiger Army who have only been honed for less than a year are like breaking through the defenses of the Dragon Guard? ”

"It's a bit arrogant indeed...... Not only does he plan to replace the defense with merit, but he also plans to use 2,000 soldiers and horses and 3,000 soldiers and horses to break the Dragon Guard......"

Cao Yun, who hadn't shown his presence in the court for a long time, frowned and said with a gloomy face.

When Gao Chu Gong and Cao Wei heard this, their eyebrows were raised.

After carefully looking at the thousand sword soldiers, his pupils shrank slightly.

"Auxiliaries?!"

Gao Chu Gong and Cao Wei are both veteran generals on the battlefield, and just now they only focused on the problem of the Tiger Army giving up defense, and did not pay close attention to the sword soldiers in the Tiger Army.

Now after Cao Yu's reminder, take a closer look.

I actually found that the 1,000 sword soldiers were actually auxiliary soldiers.

Auxiliaries.

As the name suggests, it is a soldier who assists in combat.

Generally, when they go to the battlefield, they help the main army escort grain and grass, clear the remnants, or help the main army lead horses and change armor.

The status of the auxiliaries on the battlefield is only one level higher than that of the people.

"There are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the school field, and others can't wait to use every soldier with elite soldiers, they ...... They actually wasted their troops on auxiliaries......"

Takachi said in disbelief.

Cao Wei frowned, and shouted in a dissatisfied low voice, "Arrogant......"

Gao Zhigong heard Cao Wei's shout, and slightly recovered from disbelief, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "In this way, it's also good...... The two armies of Japan and Tianwu did not come out. The two guards of the dragon god are enough to beat the tiger army all over the ground to find teeth.

At that time...... Hey, hey, hey......"

It seemed that he had seen Kou Ji bent down in front of him, and his hands were presented with new materials for forging armor.

The smile on Kyoshi Takachi's face became even brighter.

"You're going to lose...... There's nothing more to see...... I'll go home first......"

Cao Yong's face was gloomy and he whispered.

Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Yong and said, "Brother Cao, what difficulties have you encountered, you have been looking sad when I see you these days." ”

Cao Yu opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.

After groaning for a long time, he barely squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.

"Nothing...... Maybe it's because I'm tired of dealing with government affairs...... A few days off and it's fine......"

After Cao Yong said this, he prepared to get up and leave.

Cao Wei said in a deep voice: "Brother Cao, today's school performance is martial arts, but the official family has allowed it, and now the official family has not left, how can you go first?" ”

Cao Wei was slightly stunned for a moment, as if he had just come back to his senses, hugged Cao Wei, and said with a little embarrassment: "Thank you for reminding me, then I won't leave." ”

Cao's reaction also attracted the attention of Gao Zu Gong.

Cao Wei and Gao Chugong glanced at each other, and they both saw that each other's eyes were full of doubts.

Cao Yu was afraid that he had something on his mind, so he behaved strangely.

It's just that Cao Yu refused to say, and they didn't want to ask.

Just when Cao Wei and the three of them spoke.

Kou Ji put on his official hat, swayed the two long feathers on the hat, and went to the stands.

Kou Ji first gave Zhao Zhen a salute, and then gave Kou Zhun a salute.

Kou Zhun waited until Kou Ji gave the salute, and said with a somewhat unsightly face: "You arranged the military formation of the Tiger Army?" ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Does my grandfather have any grievances?" ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly and shouted in a low voice: "Nonsense! ”

Although Kou Zhun is far from being as proficient in military formations as Cao Wei and the others, he has experienced hundreds of large and small battles since he entered the ranks, and he has more or less understanding of the way of military formations.

Kou Ji didn't deliberately conceal the formation of the Tiger Army, so what Cao Wei and the three of them could see.

Kou Zhun could also see it.

"The Master doesn't have to be angry...... The Ministry of Kou Gong probably knew that the Tiger Army was not the enemy of the forbidden army, so it put on this formation. Although it is possible to lose badly, it is not a bad thing to use this to make the people happy. ”

I thought I was going to get a cheap high place Gong, and said with a smile.

Kou Zhun glared at Gao Chu Gong with a gloomy face.

Gao Ji closed his mouth, but the smile on his face did not dissipate.

Kou Zhun was about to glare at Kou Ji again, but Kou Ji hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandfather is relieved, he won't lose." ”

"The Ministry of Kou Gong is really ......"

Wang Qinruo stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Kou Ji glanced at Wang Qinruo, put away the smile on his face, and said lightly: "I have confidence in the Tiger Army......

Wang Qinruo smiled a little sarcastically: "It's a good thing to have confidence, but if you lose too badly, you will be embarrassed and thrown out of the country......"

As he spoke, Wang Qinruo's gaze swept around those Fanbang envoys.

As if to tell Koji that the envoys were watching.

Once the Tiger Army lost too badly.

The bad reputation must have spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Wang Ministry, when I came to power just now, I saw that among the people, someone secretly opened a market again, betting on the winner or loser of the tiger army. Why don't we take a gamble too? ”

As soon as Kou Ji's words came out, Wang Qinruo raised his eyebrows slightly.

When the other officials heard this, they also pricked up their ears.

No one refuted Kouji's gamble.

In order to make themselves comfortable, the ministers not only called going to the Qinglou Teaching Workshop to have fun, which was an elegant thing, but even gambling was regarded by them as a kind of thing to cultivate their sentiments.

Therefore, gambling was not within the rules of the imperial court.

When the officials heard that there was a gamble, not only did they not stop it, but they were eager to try it one by one and wanted to participate.

The battle put forward by the Tiger Army will definitely be lost.

Except for Kou Ji, no one is optimistic about the Tiger Army.

Now Kou Ji wants to send money to everyone to spend, and there is no reason not to agree.

Wang Qinruo smiled and said, "Then the old man will accompany you to gamble......"

After a pause, Wang Qinruo said again: "It's just ...... Ordinary bets, the old man can't look at it. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Qinruo, "What do you want?" ”

Wang Qinruo stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You know what the old man wants." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "If you win, something will be given to you." ”

Wang Qinruo nodded with a bright smile.

Kou Ji continued, "But if you lose, you have to give me something of equal value. ”

"Hahaha......"

Wang Qinruo smiled loudly, waved his hand magnanimously and said, "As long as the old man can take it out, I will give it to you." ”

"How about counting me in?"

Gao asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Gao Gong said: "If I win, I want your craftsmen to forge new materials." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "What if you lose?" ”

Gao Chu Gong smiled confidently: "I can take whatever you can see on my high mansion." ”

Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Subsequently, some people spoke up and bet with Kou Ji one after another.

Kou Ji also responded one by one.

Surprisingly.

The envoys of the Liao State, the envoys of Goryeo, the envoys of Western Xia, the envoys of Dali, and the envoys of Qingtang all opened their mouths to bet with Kou Ji.

The envoy of the Liao State directly offered 5,000 good horses as a bet on the method of forging iron in Kou Ji's hand.

The bets made by the other envoys were much the same.

But they all want the method of forging iron in Kou Ji's hands.

However.

Kou Ji didn't agree.

As the saying goes, man is not as good as heaven.

Although he and Di Qing and the others are no longer worth it, the Tiger Army will win the Dragon Guard.

But what if something happens?

If there is really an accident, do you really want to hand over the method of steelmaking to the envoys of Liao, Western Xia, Goryeo and other envoys?

Steel was the most important thing he used to lead the Song Dynasty.

He would never allow steel to appear outside of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji gambled with Wang Qinruo, Gao Chugong and others, and he could afford to lose.

can bet against envoys such as Liao, Western Xia, and Goryeo, and he can't afford to lose.

Don't dare to lose.

In that case, why bet with them?
