I became the son of Renzong

"Yes, it's the sleeping bag. I was wondering if it's possible for the imperial court to equip the Western Army with sleeping bags?"

What a big deal?Really big deal.Don't talk about sleeping, even if you carry such a piece on your back, it is equivalent to having an extra layer of armor...

Sigh... A few years ago, when Zhao Xi was selecting soldiers for the guard battalion, he thought about generalizing it.It's a pity that tables, chairs and benches are the most popular objects displayed during the selection of soldiers.

There is really no way to tell these soldiers.

"Your Highness... I will take my leave..."

Seeing Zhao Xi's unhappy expression, Yang Wenguang spoke directly.

What is a guard camp?Everyone knows that, not to mention people's ability and quality, but to talk about the nature of the organization, even if the Western Army is indispensable in the country, it is not as good as the guard camp, which is the prince's army.

"Wait...Everyone, I, Zhao Xi, will give you a word today. Up to five years, the Imperial Guards will be fully equipped!"

It's really not worth a lot of money, Zhao Xi thought, even if the East Palace is all posted in the end, this can be afforded.

Sometimes it is really annoying to those people in the court, but the reality is like this.

Military men don't play court, but they can reach the level of commanders and envoys, so there is no fool.As far as Zhao Xi said, I understand...

"Zhongzheng, go out and say something. When the guard battalion is on duty, give up the sleeping bag."

The warriors of the Guochao should be the most easily moved, but with these two sentences, a group of old men are about to cry, and their eyes are a little red.

This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not any other civil servants.They also dared to meet His Highness at night because of their familiarity these days and the fact that they had won battles.

His Highness didn't blame him, he still treated them like this...

Those who have not received such treatment are generally those who teach military law, beat the bangzi to demote, and even have their heads beheaded.

Only Your Highness...

Everyone left, but Di Qing came in a hurry, holding a sword.

"Di Shuai, they just want a sleeping bag!"

Zhao Xi was sitting in a daze at this moment, his eyes were not focused, and his mind was in a trance.Even seeing Di Qing's anxiety, he raised his eyelids.

"When selecting soldiers for the guard battalion, I invited all the senior members of the fifth rank and above in the court. I didn't want them to see the military quality of those selected soldiers. I just wanted to let everyone see some armaments and training methods, so that they can be promoted in the court. And broadly."

"A weak country has no diplomacy. Given the current situation where the country is surrounded by enemies, as well as the relationship between the country and the Great Xia and Daliao, we can only scrutinize words in order to keep the cloak."

"Then, try not to think about the deaths and injuries of the frontier soldiers, don't think about the grasslands that come every year like the seasons come, and don't think about the soldiers who died after being defeated again and again."

"Just drilled in the reports over the years, and carefully calculated the winning rate of how many people were beheaded and how many times were defeated. From this, we can draw the conclusion that the country has a high winning rate."

Zhao Xi didn't pretend, and completely entered a world, a world of his own, just mumbling there, not even paying attention to Di Qing's wide-eyed eyes.

"A few years ago, Mr. Pang asked me: How do you view the difference between civil and military affairs in Guochao? As I said, people cannot walk on one leg. But a few years have passed, and Guochao is still limping!"

"Di Shuai, I am not a martial artist, nor am I advocating literature. I just want the country to have weapons that can scare neighboring countries on the basis of Wenhua. Why is it so difficult? Just like today's soldiers want a sleeping bag Same."

"The soldiers are all good soldiers. They are exhausted these days, but no one has any complaints. They are all immersed in the victory. Just this kind of victory, I am afraid that Guochao has never had it before?"

"You can't see it in the court, and you can never feel the hearts of the soldiers..."

Zhao Xi himself couldn't find the topic, and he didn't even know what to say, so he just threw out sentence after sentence, every sentence hitting Di Qing... He really regretted it, if he knew that those idiots just wanted sleeping bags, He didn't come here to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's remarks.

Di Qing even wanted to avoid it, but every word His Highness said was in his heart.Just accompany and listen in such a trembling manner.

He was very surprised that these two servants were not surprised at all?

"I'm talking nonsense again! Di Shuai forgive me."

"His Royal Highness discussed military strategy with Qing late at night, and there is nothing inappropriate about it."

Di Qing's words made Zhao Xi stunned for a moment... Also, with Di Qing's temperament, it's not bad if he doesn't run away, so expect him to agree?

Forget it, let's see.

Chapter 167 Over and over again

This time it was the most comfortable few days for Master Wang to go deep into the Annan Territory.

In this way, hunting wild game and recuperating in the deep mountains and dense forests, it was not until the fifth day that the soldiers who were released found that Annan's army from the direction of Lang Song was coming.

After several days of investigation, he is also very familiar with the terrain in this area.

The topography of Annan is a continuation of the topography of Guangnan, especially similar to that to the west of Yongzhou. The mountains and waters are sometimes separated and sometimes closed.

Therefore, there are many ambush sites.

Zhao Xi chose a gourd-shaped terrain stretching for about ten miles.

In this era, the level of splitting mountains and building bridges is not yet reached, and most roads follow the shape of mountains and waters.The same is true of Annan, who still use the valley between two mountains as the road.

The first narrow place should be the most suitable for ambushes, but Zhao Xi let it go.

"The generals of Annan's army have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not incompetent. In the last ambush, because it was urgent to support Lang Song, we focused on the possibility of the king's army occupying Lang Song. Therefore, the ambush can be successful."

"Lang Song is safe and sound, and has not fallen. On the return trip, Annan's army will definitely release sentries to scout along the way. This ambush point will definitely be focused on investigation..."

Seeing that they were all asking questions, Zhao Xi had no choice but to explain in detail.

War is never pure force.

And it is true.Annan's army has been searching and advancing since Langsong left the city.The width of the outpost is almost ten miles, even if it is a mountain, it will also climb mountains and ridges.

The bottom of the gourd has passed, and the waist of the gourd has also passed, and it is not yet the ambush point.

Zhao Xi chose a relatively wide area for the ambush point this time, but it was only relatively wide.

"The guard battalion is placed at the back and retreats after three rounds of bursts. The Western Army is placed at the front and withdraws after three rounds of gunpowder."

This military order...

"The cavalry of the front team turned back in shock, and the infantry of the rear team swarmed forward. The trampling chaos was more than the number of kills."

As Di Qing said, Zhao Xi really thought so.Even though he now has the upper hand in numbers, he never thought about fighting head-on.

War horses have not been trained in the explosion of gunpowder bombs, and they are bound to be startled after being projected.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that after the first ambush, Annan would think of a way to deal with it.

Zhao Xi thought about it carefully. He didn't think of any way to prevent the sound of gunpowder shells and shock waves from affecting the horse.

Plug the horse's ears?It's not just that the knight is difficult to control. Once the ears of the war horse are blocked, the shock wave will cause the horse to have nowhere to vent after being shocked, and the horse will become even more insane.
