The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1830 Investigating the details of the Black Banner Army
"Your Highness, according to your deployment, the Black Banner Army has already fought against those Khitan dogs, and has achieved a decisive victory. According to our observations at the front, after some Khitan casualties, they closed the door tightly. Presumably they are investigating The matter of the Black Banner Army."

"Okay, that's what I want. As long as I can hold them back for a few days, my plan will be implemented. How much of my Black Banner army will be left at that time?" Zhao Xu's eyes were a little deep, and the black flag The Black Banner Army was formed by him alone, and he has not experienced many battles. Now he uses the Black Banner Army for more important battles in the future. This Black Banner Army is no longer the previous Black Banner Army. There are more than 1000 people, all of whom are in the capital now.

These black flag troops are the second batch, and the level of training is a bit different from the first batch, but we still try to pick one out of ten thousand. These treasures are not in the battle order of the Great Song Army on weekdays, so ordinary people don't even know With this army, they usually don't gather together, and they only act in small groups.

Although the Khitan people didn't know this army, they definitely had dealings with them, because they had penetrated deep into the hinterland of Khitan. These people were horse thieves, and they had brought the worst disaster to Khitan. The Banner Army is a team of dozens of people at most, and cleans the Khitan.

This is also a way for them to maintain their combat effectiveness. Now they are all gathered together, so the Khitan people are very strange to them. Everyone should be cautious about opponents who don't know the details, right?

The Khitans hadn't left the city for three days, and they were urgently collecting news about the person opposite them, but they had some clues.

"Black Banner Army, Black Banner Army, looking at their black suits and armor, they are indeed the Black Banner Army!" Ye Yelu Haowu kept repeating these three words, and the few cards he held in his hand were exactly the three-day information about the Black Banner Army. investigation.

"This is a unit that is not in the Song Army's establishment. According to the information provided above, they have not played many times. The first time they appeared was when Zhao Kuangyin had just ascended the throne to quell the Huainan rebellion. At that time, thousands of them were Dispersed Li Chongjin's tens of thousands of troops."

This is the information provided by Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu knows about the Black Banner Army, so the information he gave Khitan is relatively detailed.

"My lord, this is a strange army. They are not in the Song Army's combat organization. Zhao Pu doesn't know how they gathered. It's like where they came from this time. Our insiders didn't send them out. According to the information, Zhao Pu didn't know their survival mode, at least they were not given food, grass and salary in the household department of Song Dynasty. These people are really strange. We really don't know what to say. Such people are really impressive. strangeness."

How can any army have food, grass and salaries that do not pass through the court? These should be recorded, but this black flag army did not. They seem to fend for themselves, and there is no army in the Song Dynasty.

Even if it is a secret army, there should be part of the expenditure in the food, grass and salary of the Ministry of Households, but this army called the Black Banner Army does not, which is why they cannot be found in the court, and few people know about it. Black Banner Army.

In fact, the Black Banner Army was well-known in the past, but everyone knows that the Black Banner Army has been protecting the emperor in the palace for so many years. There are only more than 1000 people. They have never been out of the palace for so many years, and they are all very old.

This is the most accurate record. These people used to be in the Song Army's army formation, which can be found out, but the black flag army now has no provenance. This is the most terrifying, even their details They didn't know, or they didn't know anything. Zhao Pu had written to them a long time ago, saying that he would give them definite information about the Black Banner Army just a few days later.

Zhao Pu is the Prime Minister with great energy. Although the Black Banner Army is secretive, it is still very easy to check something. All the Khitan people have kept their city gates closed these days, which is equivalent to hanging up the card of avoiding battle.

Morale has been affected to a certain extent, and the Black Banner Army on the opposite side is also calm. They seem to be very relaxed every day. The army is so arrogant, so I want to teach them a lesson. These people are also Khitan's trump cards. They are restrained by the few black flag troops. Can they swallow this breath? No, so they want to compete with these people in private After a while, the city gate was closed, and they could not go out through the city gate.

They had no choice but to sit on a hanging basket from the city wall, and they called for formation directly in front of the formation. What happened? These people were wiped out, which once again proved that the Black Banner Army was the hungry elite among the elite. How many of these Khitan trump cards remained? Hundreds of corpses were in front of the formation, and this time the Black Banner Army did not collect their corpses.

"Okay, just wait a few more days, and strictly order the battalion personnel not to act rashly. Isn't the lesson from the day before yesterday not enough? We must avenge our revenge. When we find out their details, we will wipe out these people in one fell swoop. People, but whoever disobeys orders during this period will be dealt with according to military law."

Yeluhaowu reiterated the order again. The hundreds of people who ignored the order the day before yesterday went out of the city privately, and ended up being killed by the enemy. He felt sorry for his colleagues and was even more angry that they did not obey the order. Fortunately, no big trouble was caused, but it was like this Losing hundreds of people in vain is called a coward, so now he reiterated the order again and asked them to climb up patiently for a few more days. In fact, the more days they wait, the more resentment these people will have. The bigger it is, this is the reason why the underdogs must win.

In fact, the current Khitan soldiers are indeed suffocating. They have always won battles, but now they can't do anything in the city. Anyone will get sick, but orders are orders, and no one can disobey them. Military orders are like mountains. , anyone must obey.

By now, four days had passed, and Zhao Xu was walking back and forth, looking very impatient and irritable. The people around him did not dare to speak directly, so they could only watch Zhao Xu walking back and forth.

"There's no news yet. How many days has it been? Haven't they reached the designated place yet? Has something happened?"

Zhao Xu asked as he walked, it was the critical moment of his plan, and he must not make any mistakes, otherwise, although they would not be wiped out, all the hard work for so many days was in vain, then Zhao Xu will black It would be in vain to summon the Banner Army again, and it is very likely to cause great casualties.
