"The big boss is back, the big boss is back!"

In the evening, when Li Zixiao returned with bags of loot and walked to a pass not far from the cottage, a figure appeared on a hill and shouted loudly in the direction of the cottage behind.

This is the forward outpost of the cottage, Li Zixiao has set up light and dark sentry here, once an enemy approaches the cottage, they will give the cottage an early warning as soon as possible.

As the people standing guard at the Ming Sentinel found Li Zixiao's team, they immediately sent a signal to the cottage, and Old Master Wei and others immediately brought people out to greet Li Zixiao and them.

"Congratulations to the big boss for his victory, return to the village safely, the meal has been prepared a long time ago, two pigs have been slaughtered, and now the pot is wafting with incense, and you can eat it when you enter the village."

Old Master Wei walked out of the cottage with Zhang Ergouzi and others, and when he saw Li Zixiao looking radiant, carrying a big bag and a small bag and laughing, he knew that he must have won the battle, so he hurriedly greeted him and said congratulations.

"Haha, old master, I still bother you to come out to greet you in person, you have worked hard to stay in the cottage, go, go back to the village together, and have a good tooth sacrifice tonight."

Today, with two battles and two victories, Li Zixiao was also in a good mood, and said to Old Master Wei very politely, waved his hand, and led everyone into the village.

"All the seized materials will be handed over to Old Master Wei for registration and storage, and after half an hour, everyone will gather in the hall." Back at the cottage, Li Zixiao gave such an order.

"Come on, come with me, line up, and register one by one."

Old Master Wei looked at Zhou Dazhu and the others carrying bags of food and other materials one by one, with an old face smiling like a flower, beckoning them to come over and queue up to register the materials and store them in the warehouse.

Entering the cottage hall, it was actually a big cave, Li Zixiao sat down on his leader's seat, and had a good rest, this day's continuous running and fighting made him feel very tired.

But physical fatigue is one thing, but Li Zixiao was still full of energy at this time, recalling that the two battles he had with his subordinates on this day were both victorious, which made him smile.

Today is the first battle of their descent after the completion of the training, not only did they do their old job, but they robbed a caravan, although it is Li Zixiao's own family, but that family does not seem to belong to them anymore.

In the second battle, he killed a defeated army of officers and soldiers, eliminating the natural fear of his subordinates for the officers and soldiers, and on the whole, Li Zixiao was quite satisfied with the results of this battle.

Although they defeated a rabble of officers and soldiers, at least they won a big victory at a very small cost.

This fully shows that his drill is still very effective, and in a short period of time, this group of peasants who have just put down their hoes can be trained into a third-rate team.

This strengthened Li Zixiao's confidence, and he was determined to continue to practice like this, so that his subordinates could have stronger combat effectiveness, and this group of loyal subordinates was the capital of Li Zixiao's life in troubled times!

When Li Zixiao's whistle sounded again, no matter what they were doing, they all let go as soon as possible, rushed to Li Zixiao's face, and quickly lined up in a horizontal line.

According to Li Zixiao's password, quickly keep up, the queue is more neatly arranged than before this battle, and the speed is also a lot faster.

And these guys straightened their chests one by one, revealing a fierce posture, today's two battles, so that these people all saw blood, and they really had a bit of a bandit appearance.

After Li Zixiao glanced at everyone with his eyes, he said loudly: "In today's two battles, everyone has worked hard.

However, we won both battles, not only intercepting a large amount of food, but also killing more than a dozen officers and soldiers, looking at those officers and soldiers are just like that, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, through today's two battles, it can be seen that our training some time ago is still effective. Therefore, even for the sake of your own wealth and life, you cannot relax.

In the future, the training of our cottage will still be carried out, and it will be more strict and hard, which is also for the sake of your life.

However, in today's battle, we have also exposed many problems, so don't be complacent because of these two victories.

Zhao Heitie was ordered by me to be shot by quartz, and he escaped from the battle, which is a betrayal of all our brothers.

If = if I don't decisively order Quartz to kill him today, and let him run away, I'm afraid you will also escape, and the team will be in chaos, then I'm afraid there won't be a few of you standing here alive now!

So no matter what, the phenomenon of fleeing from the battle is not allowed during the battle, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood.

We fight together, advance and retreat together, even if we die, the big guys have to die together, without a strict military rule, everyone is still a group of rabble, do you understand? ”

"Got it, big boss!"

The old brothers shouted in unison, pulling their necks in unison, that today's battle had indeed shown the group of guys the power of this kind of huddle fighting.

If it was a single battle, except for Zhou Dazhu and a few people, none of them were the opponents of those Li family guards and the routs of the official army, but when they lined up and fought together, they easily defeated these enemies.

Li Zixiao looked at the excited expressions of his subordinates, and he didn't forget that these guys poured a basin of cold water: "Do you feel that you feel great when you easily defeat the Li family caravan and the rout army today?" ”

"You don't have to be too excited, you feel very powerful, in fact, in my opinion, your performance today is average, and you are still far from the goal of elite soldiers in my mind!

In today's two battles, we were both taken by surprise and caught the enemy by surprise, and if we fought directly head-on, I think it would be good if you didn't break and flee.

Look, even if it is a sneak attack, Zhao Heitie can be afraid to ignore my orders and flee from the battle, if I didn't let Quartz kill Zhao Heitie in time, I'm afraid that many of you would be like him, turn around and flee.

If we had fought in an upright manner and given those officers and men time to prepare, then the outcome of that battle would not have been certain!

Think for yourselves, pikemen, did your guns go out as I ordered when I gave the order to stab?

Look at the time when you stabbed again, some of the spears stabbed to the left, some stabbed to the right, and some stabbed downwards, and it was a mess, and I forgot all about the steadiness and ruthlessness required of you during training.

Fortunately, that group of officers and soldiers was also a rabble, and we won the war, if today in exchange for a real elite of officers and soldiers, with your performance, you will definitely be killed by others without leaving a piece of armor!

To put it mildly, after some time of training, you are already a little stronger than the rabble. With a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, Li Zixiao yelled at these guys.

After listening to Li Zixiao's evaluation of them, the excitement of these guys also subsided, originally they thought that they were already good, but they didn't expect that they hadn't been able to make the big boss look at them.

And when everyone remembered the battle during the day, it seemed that it was really the same as what the big boss said, and many of them even had weak legs, and the spears that stabbed out were also weak.

After thinking about this clearly, these people were really a little ashamed, and they all lowered their faces, not daring to look at Li Zixiao again.

Li Zixiao saw that the effect of the warning had been achieved, and if he continued to teach them a lesson, he would suppress their self-confidence, so he hurriedly continued: "Okay, your deficiencies, I will correct them for you one by one in training in the future."

Anyway, we also got two victories today, and now it's time to reward the merits. ”

Hearing Li Zixiao talk about rewarding meritorious deeds, his subordinates became happy one by one, and their eyes lit up.

"Today, our attack on the caravan was successful, and the first credit should be credited to Zhang Ergouzi, it was the accurate information he obtained that allowed our attack to succeed in one blow.

Therefore, this merit should be given to Zhang Ergouzi, and Zhang Ergouzi is hereby rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and he will be responsible for the intelligence work of the cottage in the surrounding villages in the future. ”

"Zhang Ergouzi, take a step forward"

"Yes!" Zhang Ergouzi held back his neck, shouted, and took a step forward.

Li Zixiao walked up to Zhang Ergouzi, handed him two heavy silver ingots, and said encouragingly: "Continue to work hard, give full play to your expertise, and do a good job in intelligence work, our cottage not only needs brothers who can fight, but also talents like you." ”

Hearing Li Zixiao's words, Zhang Ergouzi was about to cry, he led the convoy back to the cottage first because he was afraid of fighting with the officials and soldiers, and waited for the brothers who came back from killing all the officials and soldiers, and their eyes were full of contempt when they looked at him, which made him very remorseful.

However, at this time, Li Zixiao's words completely moved him, it turned out that the big boss still attached so much importance to himself, and he was still useful to the cottage.

Li Zixiao patted Zhang Ergouzi on the shoulder, then stepped back and continued: "This second merit will be awarded to the quartz brothers, and the quartz silver will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver."

It was he who entangled the Liu Chong brothers in the battle before, so that we were able to defeat the Li family guards, otherwise the Liu Chong brothers would have been able to break up our queue with their horses.

Of course, now Brother Liu Chong is also the brother of our cottage, and the later quartz killed Zhao Heitie in time to prevent the rout of our team. ”

"Thank you, boss."

Li Zixiao handed over three heavy silver ingots to Quartz.

"Everyone but the two of them are doing well, and we now have plenty of food and cotton clothing, and I promise that soon all of you will be wearing a brand new set of cotton clothes that will not freeze this winter.

And in the future, as long as you train hard, I guarantee that you will be able to eat enough, especially tonight, smell the smell of meat wafting from the cauldron behind, today you eat with your belly open, and you are full! ”

"Whoa......" everyone cheered.
