"Everyone come here, not only Erlang, but you can also sign up if you want, it's not too crowded. This officer thinks so: If we can change the horse stumbling block and turn it into a special operations force, which specializes in infiltrating the enemy's rear to kill, burn and loot, sabotage the enemy's transportation, water conservancy, and animal husbandry facilities, killing and injuring a large number of the enemy's soldiers and civilians, sneaking up on the enemy's small-scale military forts, attacking and killing their officers, and even going to the wells of the enemy's cities to poison and spread rumors, wouldn't it be more helpful for the army to fight? ”

Hong Tao has never trained special forces, let alone contacted special forces. His thoughts were all based on the plots in movies and television, plus the experience of taking the Jinhe Empire Marines in the past to plague Southeast Asian countries. I think it's useful in the south, and it's not too bad in the north.

"Poison in the well...... It is impossible to bring so much poison, and if you bring it, people will find out that there is something wrong in the water. "Jiang Erlang is an expert in this regard, but he used to be petty and petty, and he didn't have such a scale and grade as a horse.

"You don't have to worry about this, if you can make such a small crossbow, you can create a poison that only needs a kettle to poison half of the city's people. But what I need for special forces is not only to be able to ride and shoot well, but also to be able to climb in the mountains, survive longer than ordinary people in the wilderness, be proficient in the language of friend and foe, and be good at camouflage, sneak attacks, ambushes, and long-distance marches. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will leave with one blow and do not entangle with the enemy. ”

took out a large cake painted on paper to feed Jiang Erlang's specific questions first, Hong Tao continued to talk about his understanding of special operations, right or not, no one can discuss these details with him at present.

"Everything else is easy to do, just mountain climbing and language, I'm afraid it's not a one-time effort......" Jiang Dalang's mind was meticulous, and he heard the problem here in an instant.

They are all veterans in their forties and fifties, their physical functions and learning ability are declining, and they only rely on experience, and they do not have much advantage in this new type of combat unit.

"Learn while fighting, these requirements of this official are not aimed at you, but for your disciples. I want to secretly establish such a special force on your basis, the number of people, first control it to less than 500 people, and I can't afford to support more officers. Regardless of whether the Song people or the Fan people, whoever is suitable will be chosen. You will teach them, if you don't, I will find someone else to teach. It is more reassuring for you experienced veterans to take them to life and death, after all, they are all under the command of their own officials, and they can't be sent to death in vain for the sake of long experience, so the speed of forming an army is too slow. As for the issue of treatment, this is the easiest. If there are casualties, Wu Jinxing will take out a pension, and the amount will be enough to raise the two children and send the two old people away. The children of the special forces can go to school, or they can enter the workshop in Weiqiao Town as apprentices, and after entering, they will be in the third year of high school. This is compensation for their father's contribution to the country, but they can't fight for money in the enemy territory on weekdays, and they must abide by the law after returning to the Great Song Dynasty. And the identity of this unit cannot be told to outsiders, the military registration is temporarily hung in the box service, only in this way can the officer keep you and others, otherwise once you are detained as a private army, we will all be finished together, can I make it clear? ”

Jiang Dalang's problem is also more worried, Hong Tao does not plan to use these veterans to be the main force of the special forces, but just wants them to be instructors and commanders, or he wants to use them as a skeleton to try to build a small army from scratch that is different from the conventional in terms of formation and tactics.

The real leaders of this army in the future will not be them, but some children in the children's regiment. Not everyone is suitable for entering society and pretending to be normal people, such as a female man like Wang Da, who may play a greater role in the development of the military.

Of course, these are still rough frameworks, and the details need to be refined slowly. Hong Tao is only good at innovating in the general direction, with his consistent style, most of the details will be thrown to others to use their brains to improve, and then he will find faults.

In the end, there were fourteen people who signed up for the special forces, and the Song people signed up except for Fu Ji. Fu Ji originally wanted to sign up, but was rudely vetoed by Hong Tao for the simple reason that it was not suitable!

The other eight were all Tibetans, and some of them could understand Chinese, and when they learned that there was no distinction between Fan and Han in this army, they immediately chose to join, and they valued the treatment more than the danger.

Isn't grazing dangerous? If you calculate carefully, it seems that you might as well be a special soldier. Those who don't have enough food and clothing all day long, and the children have no way out. After all, being a soldier can enjoy it first, and it brings a glimmer of hope to future generations.

And follow the Liming clan along the path to see the Xixia people's city construction site is this newly established special forces, no need to go, led by the deputy captain Jiang Erlang, assisted by three Fan people, plus a wasp.

The wasp didn't volunteer, it was forced by a colt. He was the only one who learned some basic knowledge of mapping, because Hong Tao not only visited the herdsmen along the way, but also carried another important task, which was to simply map the general terrain along the way. This job can't be done alone, so Wasp becomes an assistant, and he learns this quite quickly.

"Don't just stare at the place where the city was built, take a closer look at the surrounding mountains, rivers, forests, and rivers, and describe to me what can be measured and what can't be measured. In addition, you must always pay attention to safety, don't care about anyone in case of accidents, and try to run back to save your life. ”

Before leaving, Hong Tao called the wasp aside and whispered a few words in private. This guy is not good at riding and shooting, but he has a great ability to hide, track and escape, and if he wants to run, it is really difficult to catch.

"In addition to the master, the adult is the first to care about the life and death of the villain." The wasp didn't know which nerve it had touched, and actually squeezed out a heroic tear.

"Don't think about it, if you die, Your Majesty will think that this official is deliberately cutting off the ears and eyes, and be suspicious. You've been in the palace for so long, you should know what it will be like if you don't be trusted by the emperor. ”

Moved by a eunuch and shed tears to himself, Hong Tao did not have any sense of accomplishment, but felt that he was afraid that he was really sick, and he was not lightly ill. Otherwise, if a normal person didn't move one, it was the eunuch who was moved first.

It may be that it was affected by the thick grief of the wasps, and God was also very worried, so the sky began to change from this night, and the rain was sandwiched in the snowflakes, and I don't know whether it was solid or liquid, and it rained for more than a day.

There was nothing to see in the mountains, it was all a thick fog. Hong Tao's duvet is also over, it is very warm, but the fabric is not waterproof, and the result is that even the inside and outside are damp, and the thermal insulation performance is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, Fu Ji still had a surplus sheepskin covering, otherwise he would have had to freeze in this nameless valley without waiting for the wasps to return.

In addition, this bad weather also caused a lot of trouble for the pathfinder team, who were supposed to return at noon the next day, but they were not seen until the morning of the third day.

Jiang Erlang, the vice captain who had just been appreciated, was also injured, the mountain road was too slippery, and he slipped on the way back, if it weren't for the fellow Fan companion who grabbed his kettle strap, this is the shortest time in office The deputy captain of the special forces, it is estimated that no one can break his record for a long time.

His life was saved, but his ankle was twisted, and he was carried back by everyone in turn. Without the coercion of his companions' scorpion crossbows and wasp stingers, he would not have returned.

The people of the Lili tribe will throw him as a burden and leave him to fend for himself in the mountains, this kind of road is dangerous to walk alone, and he still carries one, who wants to play this life for a few knives.

"I didn't hurt my bones, I lit it with water every day and rubbed it for half an hour, and it will be fine in a few days. The wasp and I returned with Erlang first, and the shopkeeper continued the transaction of the camel caravan, since he had made an appointment with others, he should not lose his trust. ”

Seeing the bulging paper roll in the wasp's bag, Hong Tao didn't have the heart to look at the trading site anymore, he wanted to hurry back to Huangzhou to plan the next step. But I don't want to delay the business of the camel caravan, so far the income of the camel team is very important, and there are still many places to use the money in the future.
