Chapter Seventy-One: Wu An
Wu'an, this is a place that has always been noticed, Su Qin, a longitudinal and horizontal family of the Warring States Period, and Bai Qi Li Mu, a famous general, were both named Wu'an Jun, which shows what kind of status this place has in the land of Yan Zhao, but after the destruction of the war, it will live up to the glory of the past. Wu'an is located at the eastern foot of the Queen Mother Mountain, and Wu'an City is also built on the mountain, and the Purple Mountain in its territory has the iron and stone that Liu Feng dreamed of, and the coal and stone mines of the Purple Mountain are also not less than that of Xianghe Mountain.
And now in the hands of Zeng Yu, there has been a change in just a few days, although there is not much change, but it has also become a look, Wu'an has the strong support of Liu Jiabao in terms of manpower and material resources, and it is changing with each passing day.
Wu'an City, built by the mountain, wood and stone is not lacking, Zeng Yu is also bold, the whole battalion except for a capital of riders on duty patrol, 1,500 sergeants, in turn were arranged to repair the city wall, and Liujiabao successively allocated 3,000 people and Wu'an local city people to help, also staged a scene of 10,000 people working together.
The city wall is based on the bluestone of the Purple Mountain, plus Wu'an is the old city, which has been in disrepair for many years, but the boulders on the original city wall still exist, which also saves Zeng Yu a lot of time, plus the city builders sent by Liujiabao, with the previous experience of building walls in Liujiabao, regardless of the distribution of labor or the design of the city wall, everything is carried out quickly and in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Zeng Yu also let go of Liu Feng's suspicion of him from his heart, you must know that Liu Feng is so heavy on him, Zeng Yu is still skeptical, in this era, everyone has a common concept, force represents everything. For Zeng Yu, even when Yu Taisheng was the city lord, he was restricted, and the young Liu Feng dared to hand over thousands of soldiers to him, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
However, the men and women carrying dustpans and baskets ran back and forth along the city wall, some craftsmen were directing the soldiers to polish the stones, and some craftsmen were directing the men to ram the fortress wall.
……
The city wall of Wu'an City, under the design and transformation of the original site by the craftsmen is slightly smaller than the original, the city wall within a radius of five miles needs to be repaired with a gap of more than 600 meters, the fort wall is not heightened by a brain, it is thickened and reinforced, about ten meters high, but the thickness of the city wall is eight meters, the original dilapidated city tower is demolished, and many corner towers that can accommodate three or five people are built on the city wall.
In the west of the city, close to the Purple Mountain, the new barracks have been built, the rammed earth walls are connected with the city wall, the trees that have been demolished from the city gate tower and other places have been put to use, in front of the newly built barracks, there is a spacious school field, the sergeants of Yidu are leveling the field, and in the planning of the craftsmen here, there is also a military hall for the officers to sit and command and rest.
At this moment, Zeng Yu only has two things in his heart, training! Forts! Every three days, the school field, which has not been completely repaired, has slowly become solid under the feet of this group of men. The sergeant sent by Liu Feng also gave Zeng Yu a great touch, the kind of strict discipline to the point of severity gave him the temperament of an iron army, as a veteran of many years of fighting, he knew that throughout the ages, all elite soldiers and strong armies were built on discipline.
What makes Zeng Yu even more surprising is that Liu Feng compiled a series of books such as "Tiger Guard Military Discipline Regulations", "Spearman Discipline", "Longbowman Discipline", "Sword and Shield Operator", "Rider Discipline" and so on. In Liu Feng's plan, in the future, these documents will be distributed to every captain, captain, and even sergeant, which seems like a whimsical approach under the condition that most people don't know how to read, but Zeng Yu still realized the great benefits of doing so.
The army implements strict military discipline and military law, and let officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers completely memorize military discipline and military law, first, to better implement strict discipline, and second, to completely improve the quality of non-commissioned officers and officers. In those days, veterans were always the backbone of the army, and that was because they had the experience of surviving on the battlefield. When these experiences form disciplinary regulations, the losses of recruits are greatly reduced, and those officers at the grassroots level will also have a direction to compare.
Zeng Yu realized this, so he was strict with the newly recruited sergeants, and some old sergeants who ignored military discipline were also returned to him for training. With craftsmen worried about the construction of the city wall, Zeng Yu stared at the training ground every day.
On the training ground, the scar-faced man Zhou Tieheng held a three-edged spear made by the Qiang battalion soldiers, and in front of the neatly arranged formation, he led a group of newly recruited sergeants to practice marksmanship.
Lunge forward stab, retreat back stab, sliding step, left and right stab, forehand stab, backhand stab, etc., these most basic movements are practiced repeatedly under the leadership of Zhou Tieheng, and with a roar, the entire spear position is also murderous.
On one side of the training ground, Cao Zheng was training longbowmen, and the longbow made by Liu Jiabao was shoddy in his eyes, the bow body was long and inflexible, and the bowstring strength was not long. But the victory was in the number, and there was a squad of sergeants standing in a dislocation around him, drawing their bows and firing arrows at his command, these longbowmen were selected from the recruited sergeants, their average height was about 1.8 meters, and they were all strong arms.
Not far from them, there are more than a dozen sergeants, holding a bow in their left hand, holding a string in their right hand, the bow is full of moon, but the arrows on the string are not triggered, and the bows they hold are also different from those sergeants, they hold their own special compound short bows, and some are iron-tire bows, which is also mentioned in Liu Feng's "Archer Drill Code", longbowmen practice their arm strength, and the bow and arrow cover when shooting arrows collectively. At the same time, you also need to train the special archer who shoots accurately! These are either veteran sergeants or hunters' archers, training themselves in their own ways as well as in the methods of others.
The sergeants on the training ground, everyone was sweating like rain, the standard military uniforms were already soaked, so they practiced meticulously with their upper bodies, these extremely simple movements, the old sergeants were trying their best to recover their physical condition, but the new sergeants were working hard for the meat that could be eaten every day in the camp.
The four levels of A, B, and C in the army will also be assessed after January, which is not only different in the treatment of sergeants, but also requires the qualifications of sergeants at the level to have the opportunity to be a captain, so that these sergeants are all training themselves.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In the shouting and killing, finally the smell of food wafted from the camp room, which made these sergeants train hard, and the sergeants on the training ground who were smiling were indescribably satisfied, satisfied with the state of these sergeants, satisfied with Liu Feng's arrangement of the treatment of sergeants, satisfied......
The sergeants finished the drill with the sound of drums and trumpets to eat, and one by one they went to the dormitory to receive food, and although there were not many kinds of mixed noodles, cakes, broth, salt-boiled wild vegetables, porridge, and so on, they were better than abundance, so that these sergeants could be fed. Except for the captains, who had guards to receive meals, the rest of the captains and captains could only squeeze in the team, and they sat around and ate their meals, and slowly they also felt cordial.
