During the morning run, to Li Zhongyi's surprise, few of these united township soldiers were left behind, and most of them could keep up with Guo Huai's pace.

Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing, he actually hit it crookedly and earned it.

Although these villagers have poor discipline and do not have much collective combat effectiveness, they are all villagers from the nearby mountains, and their strength to climb mountains and walk with heavy weights is their strength.

In other words, the basic body is excellent, but it is not organized with strict discipline.

There is no impermeable wall, and the paper cannot contain fire!

At first, the baggage battalion was only a capital that supplied Guo Huai with high standards, and there were only about 100 people, and Meng Renyi's generals, even if they knew that Li Zhongyi had taken some more supplies, no one dared to speak.

Now, more than 2,000 united township soldiers all asked to be supported according to high salaries, and Meng Renyi's generals quit, and they gathered together to give advice to the commander.

"Big handsome, the team is not easy to lead, and the little cubs now want to be united township soldiers......"

"Master Hou, you listen to a small persuasion, you can't let the township soldiers who don't have any combat power ride on the heads of the officers and soldiers instead, right?"

"A bunch of mud legs, eating meat at once, how can this be?"

"The ...... of the thief girl" is all there is everything.

To be honest, Meng Renyi is also not optimistic about Li Zhongyi's unity of the township soldiers. With his experience in leading troops, it is impossible to train an elite unit without a few years of work.

After Li Zhongyi learned about the situation, he didn't say a word, and forced Meng Renyi and several of his henchmen into the barracks of the united township soldiers.

Only facts speak louder than words!

"Di ......" The sharp and piercing assembly bamboo whistle suddenly sounded.

The villagers who were originally taking a lunch break were pouring out of the barracks in all directions.

"Standing ......"

"Look to the right ......"

"Looking Ahead......"

"Take a break......

Right under the noses of Meng Renyi, more than 2,000 united township soldiers were already neatly lined up under the general stage in less than half an hour.

During the whole assembly process, there was no noise from anyone, let alone any noise. The officers' commands and bamboo whistles were so clear even if they were mixed with the dull sound of footsteps.

Although they did not hold weapons, they were pressed into a large area of black press, which looked like a straight line horizontally and a straight line vertically, and they held their chests high, staring at the front of them, and not moving at all.

Not to mention anything else, this awe-inspiring momentum that does not move like a mountain is really shocking.

Meng Renyi sighed secretly, he turned his head, and glanced at the generals standing behind him, their mouths opened wide one by one, obviously stunned.

Half an hour, just half an hour!

You must know that if the regular forbidden army of Shu can be assembled within an hour, it can already be regarded as a well-trained elite army.

What should be displayed has been shown, and the strength has also been revealed!

Since it is to defend the city and save his life, it is impossible to unite the township soldiers with just such a little bit, Li Zhongyi does not want to offend Meng Renyi's henchmen.

Li Zhongyi sighed and said: "It's just some fancy shelf, it's okay to bluff the common people, if you really go to the battlefield, these township soldiers who haven't seen blood will probably turn around and run." ”

Hearing Li Zhongyi say this, Meng Renyi's subordinates felt much more comfortable, and when they looked at Li Zhongyi, they were also much friendlier.

Meng Renyi shook his head secretly, he knew very well in his heart that in such a short period of time, it was absolutely impossible for him to turn the chaotic township soldiers into a silent Cheng dù.

The facts are in front of him, but Li Zhongyi adheres to the principle of leaving a line in everything, not only did not make excessive demands, but reduced it to ten on the basis of supplying twenty sheep in seven days.

In this way, Meng Renyi's generals feel more comfortable, and their handsome brothers are very good at being people!

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Meng Renyi's subordinates to put forward their opinions.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, how can there be a reason that the regular army is treated worse than the militia?

Now, Li Zhongyi took the initiative to give in a step, and the generals of the regular army had less resentment in their hearts, and the pressure on Meng Renyi naturally became smaller.

Only when it is convenient with others can it be convenient with yourself!

In fact, although Li Zhongyi has never been on the battlefield, he has a deep understanding of people's interests.

Even if the mutton could really be served openly, it would be impossible for Li Zhongyi to let all the soldiers eat meat in large chunks every day.

There are comparisons and differences, so that there is the motivation to forge ahead!

Killing two sheep a day, the first 300 people with excellent training performance that day are eligible to eat fragrant mutton stewed radish.

The rest of the villagers, at most, drank a bowl of mutton bone soup and ate a few bites of green vegetables with only a few pieces of meat.

Although the supply of "mutton," a major target that everyone is paying attention to, Li Zhongyi, under the care of Meng Renyi, secretly obtained 300 pairs of iron armor and more than 2,000 pairs of leather armor from the ordnance warehouse, uniting the township soldiers to ensure that everyone has armor.

Although Shu produces iron in China, however, limited by the constraints of production technology and metallurgical level, the total amount of iron armor is still not much.

Among Li Zhongyi's united township soldiers, only officers above the rank of fire commander were assigned a pair of iron armor, and ordinary soldiers could only wear leather armor.

As for Li Zhongyi himself, he also got a set of Mingguang armor that only senior generals in the army are qualified to wear. However, after the armor weighing more than 2o kilograms was put on his body, he had a hard time even walking, let alone lifting his legs to escape.

Out of curiosity, Li Zhongyi put the leather armor on the straw man, and asked Guo Huai to stand a hundred meters away, draw his bow and release arrows.

The result of the verification made Li Zhongyi very disappointed, the arrow not only shot directly through the leather armor, but also flew several meters away.

Guo Huai retreated to a distance of two hundred meters and fired the arrow again, but the leather armor was still pierced, but it was not deep.

Li Zhongyi was holding the leather armor in his hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, only when he was running for his life, he would worry about someone releasing arrows behind him.

Instead of that, it is better to move the half of the leather armor behind you to the front. As soon as he said it, Li Zhongyi found a few leathermen in the army and asked them to disassemble the half of the leather armor behind them and install it in front.

This time, Guo Huai directly pulled his bow and released arrows two hundred meters away, and the leather armor was still shot through. Happily, the arrow only penetrated a few centimeters.

It seems that the improvement work has been fruitful.

Li Zhongyi used his brains, and found a blacksmith and asked them to knock out a piece of iron, inlay it between two and a half pairs of leather armor, and then tie it up with a burlap bag.

This time, Guo Huai didn't shoot through the thickened leather armor with iron pieces until he was one hundred and thirty meters away.

Guo Huai couldn't help but be greatly moved when he saw that Li Zhongyi was so attentive to the lives of ordinary soldiers.

However, Guo Huai also put forward a professional opinion, "Li Gong, although the defensive power of this armor has increased greatly, but in the melee, because the cuirass is too thick, the center of gravity is forward, it is likely to affect the soldier's freedom to swing the knife and slash......"

Li Zhongyi just smiled and didn't answer, according to his understanding, when defending the city, the biggest damage to the defenders was the bow or catapult outside the city.

However, deep in the hinterland of Longshang in Hechi County, the mountain roads are rugged and narrow, and the large catapults of the Zhou army cannot cross the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan at all.

Hechi County is the largest county within a radius of several hundred miles, because it is the logistics camp of the Shu army, and there are heavy troops stationed, and the rich people in the nearby ten miles and eight townships have lived in the county because of the problem of security.

As a result, about 100,000 people gathered in the county, resulting in a kind of deformed wartime prosperity.

There are many people and great strength, and Li Zhongyi used the name of the inspector of the Hechi to catch the guard (acting commander of the Hechi garrison), and summoned hundreds of poor women who knew how to needlework, and asked them to cooperate with the blacksmith to help change the leather armor.

During the work period, Li Zhongyi not only took care of the meal, but also put 50 yuan a day's salary per person.

You must know that because of the war every year, even the so-called ordinary rich families are just a mix of food and clothing, with a slight surplus.

The decision that conforms to the logic of the market economy is a good policy, and a large group of women, who are full of energy, will complete the transformation of all leather armor in less than seven days.

The villagers have always been cannon fodder in the front and fleeing behind, and consumables in the eyes of the generals.

Now, wearing the thickened leather armor that has never been equipped, the spirit of the village soldiers immediately became high-spirited.

Li Zhongyi was a famous doctor in his last life, a real famous doctor, and he must be proficient in psychology.

In his opinion, regardless of the ultimate utility of leather armor, because of the psychological effect of autosuggestion, the sense of security of the village soldiers has skyrocketed.

Well, that's what you want!

Next, Li Zhongyi put the refined spears, bows, crossbows, swords and shields he received into the hands of the villagers.

After more than a month of intensive training, the township soldiers under Li Zhongyi have become uniform, and they have the posture of a strong soldier.

The fly in the ointment is that the costumes of the township soldiers are still scattered and varied.

On the issue of clothing, Meng Renyi warned Li Zhongyi that once the township soldiers unified the standard clothing, it would no longer be the establishment of the township soldiers, but the regular forbidden army.

Privately building a forbidden army, according to the laws of the imperial court, is a felony of rebellion that will lose one's head, and even Meng Renyi cannot cover it.

Fortunately, when Li Zhongyi transformed his leather armor, he uniformly chose black linen as the pocket bag for thickened leather armor. As long as you don't look at the outfit on the lower half of the body, you can easily identify who is an ally with each other.

Next, Guo Huai led the archers to train everyone's obedience. The requirements are actually very simple, the archers line up in a neat line, follow the direction pointed by the military flag, divide into three rows, and shoot in turn.

Li Zhongyi personally trained sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, and the essentials of tactical movements were also very simple.

The sword and shield soldiers made two moves, blocking the shield with their left hand and slashing with their right hand.

The pikemen's tactical movements were even more simple and rude, stabbing at a 45-degree angle.

Why not a 3o degree angle?

In practice, the sparring villagers themselves said that in the 45-degree angle of the assassination, the spear was aimed at the upper part of the chest and abdomen. Under the big sun, the cold light flickering on the tip of the gun was clearly visible, and people couldn't help but want to dodge.

"Kill!" At the same time as the assassination, it is necessary to shout to kill.

According to Li Zhongyi's requirements, the shouting and killing must reach the hoarse Cheng dù before it can be regarded as passing. According to his field observations, the more deafening the shouts of killing are often raised, the more uplifted the morale of the township soldiers.

Li Zhongyi himself does not know martial arts, and there are no martial arts masters in the army, so it is impossible to teach the villagers too complex fighting skills and movements.

However, according to Li Zhongyi's method of training nurses in his previous life: simple work, after repeated practice, many skilled nurses can accurately complete a complete set of intramuscular injection actions even if they close their eyes.

In the process of sparring with a wooden knife, Li Zhongyi showed a sword and shield soldier, and when he swung the knife and slashed, he was easily injured by the opponent due to the long distance of the action.

It's a pity that in the current Shu ** team, the sword, this kind of weapon, has disappeared without a trace.

Li Zhongyi felt very regretful, no wonder the soldiers of the Roman legions were all shields in their left hands and short swords in their right hands, which was obviously scientific.

Half a month later, it was already late August, and there was still no news of the Zhou army's attack from Qin and Feng Prefectures in front.
