Chapter Forty-Nine: The Black-bellied Emperor

"Oh, what did you say?" Xia Qi browsed this twist and turn, listening to Xu Sanyuan's reply casually. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Back to the emperor, the slave just received the news that Shen Yan beat Lai Junji." Xu Sanyuan lowered his head, thinking that Shen Yan almost kicked Lai Junji's little brother, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a smile.

"Shen Yan beat Lai Junji, what's going on?" Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a big question mark appeared in Xia Qi's eyes. Lai Junji is very brave in battle, extraordinary skills, three years ago when the sixth inspected the north and found that the other party was a fierce general, so he was transferred to Jinling to serve, and then awarded the fifth rank of the infantry military captain, by the sixth as the first thug in the army, but also by the good deeds nicknamed Jinling infantry army Optimus Prime, how could he be beaten by Shen Yan, who was powerless?

"Your Majesty, the slave really didn't expect that Master Shen usually looks polite, but when he fights, he completely changes to a different appearance." Xu Sanyuan immediately truthfully stated the information told by Chang Wu Zhangsheng to the emperor.

"How could Shen Yan be so insidious?" After listening to Xu Sanyuan's statement, Xia Qi frowned, and whispered in his mouth, Shen Yan has always had the impression that he is sunny and capable, but he didn't expect to fight with people but become so insidious, and he can use such a bad trick to attack people and go down to Yin, do you want to re-examine your senses for Shen Yan?

"By the way, didn't Lai Junji want to suppress the news that he was defeated by Shen Yan, then I will help him, Xu Sanyuan, you want to find a way to spread the news that Lai Junji almost hurt humanity, remember, you must not let the other party find out that this news is from your side."

"The minions obey." Xu Sanyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: Shen Yan, the emperor has made it difficult for you, see how you pass the test.

"Pei Xiangdong, you choose a group of soldiers who are good at using long weapons like spears, Wei Chong'an, you choose a group of soldiers who are good at using short weapons like single knives, Guo Jinarc, you choose a group of soldiers who are good at long-range shooting like bows and arrows, and after selection, divide into three teams and stand up." After Shen Yan defeated Lai Junji in one move, he told Fang Butong a few words, and then took Chang Wu Zhangsheng to the training ground of the large army, seeing that the third team had completed the trust development training, a trace of an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly commanded.

"Mr. Qian, can you reveal the intention of doing this?" Zhu Mingxuan ran to Shen Yan's side and asked with a grin.

"I knew you were going to have doubts." An inexplicable smile appeared on Shen Yan's face, "Your strength is very strong, and after trust and development training, you are already a qualified team, but the enemy we will encounter in the future cannot only be infantry, there will be cavalry, archers and even heavy troops, so our training focus cannot be limited to foot combat, but we currently do not have the ability to develop cavalry, and we can only train a mixed army at present, which can not only crush the infantry, but also defend against cavalry." ”

"Mr. Qian, isn't it a subordinate who says negative things, is it useful for us to think so far?" A faint sadness flashed in Zhu Mingxuan's eyes, and he didn't seem to have much hope for the future.

"I can't pat my chest and tell you that this must be useful, but as the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, as a soldier, it is a sadness to not be able to go to the battlefield, but it is even more sad to go to the battlefield." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a sadness and realization that he had never felt before, yes, soldiers can't go to the battlefield, and practicing martial arts is equivalent to nothing, but going to the battlefield means that there will be casualties, which will cause many families to be broken.

"We have been abandoned, and in order to go further, we must learn to think more than others." Shen Yan shook his head gently, as if he wanted to shake off the inexplicable emotion in his mind, "The emperor gave the military name of the Great Xia Royal Army in the hope that we will do better than the active army and have stronger combat effectiveness. ”

"In the same way, once we meet the emperor's expectations, the Great Xia Royal Army will definitely expand, and you will also have a better platform, and you will also face various challenges in the future, and you will also face the competition of different arms." A blazing heat flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, as if a ray of dawn was blooming in front of his eyes, "Since we have this goal, why don't we think about it a little more, do a little more, and become a model for others to follow." ”

"It is precisely with this consideration that I will have the idea of creating a mixed class, as for the actual combat effect, this still needs to be tested, and at the same time, you can also judge with your experience." Shen Yan did not say very bluntly that his idea must be feasible, nor did he use power to pressure them to implement it, but first drew a blueprint for them with a bright future, and then let them think for themselves.

"Mr. Qian, a total of one hundred and twenty-seven people have been selected by his subordinates." Pei Xiangdong finished selecting the soldiers who were suitable for using long weapons, and stood on the left side in formation, walked in front of Shen Yan by himself, snapped a military salute, and said loudly.

"Mr. Qian, a total of two hundred and thirty-four people have been selected by his subordinates." Wei Chongan asked the selected soldiers to stand in the middle, followed closely behind Pei Xiangdong, walked in front of Shen Yan, and after giving the military salute, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he said loudly.

"Mr. Qian, my subordinates have selected eighty-three people." Guo Jin walked slowly in front of Shen Yan and let the selected soldiers stand on the far right.

"Zhu Mingxuan, the remaining thirty-six people, what do you say to do?" Shen Yan motioned for Pei Xiangdong and the three of them to return to the team of soldiers he had chosen, squinted, and looked at Zhu Mingxuan, and asked indifferently.

"The subordinates don't know the overall deployment of Qianzong, and they don't dare to say anything." Although Zhu Mingxuan has always been very straightforward, in the face of the question thrown by Shen Yan, he pondered for a moment, touched his head, and shook his head gently.

"Yes." Shen Yan nodded lightly, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, "Although we only have five hundred people, although the sparrows are small and have all five organs, my idea is to set up five brigades, with five generals leading them separately, thirty people under each of them using long weapons as the front row, forty-five people as archers to kill the enemy in the middle, and twenty people using short weapons to defend in the back." Of course, no matter what weapon is used, it is not limited to the use of this one type of weapon, and all the weapons that the team needs must be dabbled in and proficient. ”

"The role of the general is not only to charge into battle, and the enemy alone, but also to command, is the layout, is the order, where the general order, no matter the front is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, the soldiers under the jurisdiction must rush forward bravely, with spears, bows and arrows, with a single knife to kill the enemy." A majestic picture flashed in Shen Yan's mind, he delegated power to the general, they formulated corresponding strategies according to the war situation, and the soldiers acted in unison according to the order, which was shocking.

"Fang Butong's special operations team is to cooperate with everyone to fight and give the other party a blow at a critical time." Shen Yan said sonorously, "This is my assumption, no matter what battle we encounter, we must go all out." ”

"The person Fang Butong needs, I have already given him, and the content of the training has been instilled in him, and the rest is up to him to explore, as for you, I only awarded two generals, and there are still three places, I originally wanted to reassess you for a period of time before awarding, but the current plan has undergone some fine-tuning, and someone needs to take the lead in doing this, so I plan to temporarily select three people to be temporarily responsible, and finally according to the situation, whether to give them the position of general."

"Guo Jinarc, Zhu Mingxuan, and Qin Huai'an are out of the ranks." Shen Yan said this, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, "I now grant the three of you to be in charge of the other three teams temporarily, and the three of you, Pei Xiangdong and Wei Chongan, will select the right personnel according to my plan, and then concentrate on training the drill column and formation together." ”

"Subordinates receive orders." Pei Xiangdong and the five of them walked to the front of the team, snapped a military salute, and replied loudly.

The so-called drill formation is a combat formation deployed according to the specific conditions of the terrain conditions, the strength of the enemy and the enemy, starting from the basic one soldier, one army, one column, until the whole army, so as to establish the army, set the ranks, and be vertical and horizontal, Sun Bin listed eight formations in the art of war, which are the square formation, the circle formation, the sparse formation, the several arrays, the cone formation, the hook formation, and the Xuanxiang formation.

"The five of you will first discuss the selection of candidates, and then conduct drills according to the requirements, and the main training item in the afternoon is to drill the formation, don't be too boring, this is the most basic thing in the future war." Shen Yan looked at Pei Xiangdong's five people, signaling that the five people could discuss the selection of people, and they did not have to stick to a certain form, but combined with their personal strengths and potential development.

"After the afternoon drill formation, in the evening there was another weight-bearing cross-country run, each carrying ten kilograms, and again, the last hundred still had no meat to eat. Tomorrow morning, I will have cross-country long-distance running and combat skills, and I can't improve your combat power in this regard for the time being, so I can only rely on your own exploration. The corners of Shen Yan's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, smiled faintly, and then said, "Tomorrow after lunch, I will select fifty people among you to go to round up Fang Butong's special operations team, you must hit with one blow, don't give them a chance to escape from your roundup, if they succeed in escaping from the roundup, they will win." ”

"The people who weren't picked continued to train cross-country, skills and formations." After finishing speaking, Shen Yan asked loudly, "Do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

"Mr. Qian, my subordinates just heard a piece of news, I don't know whether to say it or not." After Shen Yan briefly explained to Pei Xiangdong and the five of them the key points of the formation training, he left with Chang Wu Zhang Sheng, and handed over the training to the five of them to explore on their own, and on the way back to the camp, a trace of hesitation appeared on Zhang Sheng's face.

"Say, there's nothing to say between us." The corners of Shen Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he smiled indifferently.

"We told Father-in-law Xu about Mr. Qian's beating of Lai Junji earlier, and Father-in-law relayed it to the emperor, who knew that the emperor instructed Father-in-law Xu to secretly reveal the news." Zhang Sheng's communication channel with Xu Sanyuan, Shen Yan has never asked, and he has never been clear, but he really didn't expect them to communicate the news so quickly.

"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?" The corners of Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, his eyes were a little dazed, and he immediately understood the intention of the emperor's move, which was to force himself to stand on the opposite side of the military, and to force himself to win the victory in a month, after thinking it through, Shen Yan couldn't help but say: Your Majesty, you are really dark.
