The two sides of the officials and thieves were fighting, and the troops were nearly 300 meters apart, and they used their strength to shout and cheer from time to time, either elated or listless.

This is the reason why Zhao Yue can detect the fight from afar.

Zhao Yue looked at the battlefield like a costume drama that was not well rehearsed, and felt funny and sad.

It's not that the Song army likes to fight generals, and it's not that the generals are keen to show their skills with their lives, and there is never a simple fight with foreign races, and the generals are also encountered in the melee.

Domestic bandits often release arrows first, followed by fighting generals.

Zhao Yue is very clear about the reason: people can live a difficult life, but they cannot be hopeless.

The border army has the spiritual factor of defending the homeland and relatives behind them to fight against foreign races, and they will not be afraid of death, and the soldiers will be willing to fight bravely. In order to ensure the support and combat effectiveness of the army, at least to ensure that they are not abandoned by their subordinates or even killed by plots during the fierce battle, the rewards for military merits are relatively affordable, and the deduction will not be too ruthless. Especially generous in wartime. In short, there is a little hope for being a soldier.

Safe inland soldiers, the generals are corrupt and enjoyed, and the military funds allocated can't be all out of their own pockets, and they have a little merit to take up all the good promotions, and they have a good example of the palace marshal Gao Yu, and they also boldly learn to find ways to drive the soldiers to become free volunteers for the benefit of his family. There is no hope for the soldiers to live in a daze, let alone fight to the death in the war, it is hot and cold, walk more, wield a knife and spend a little effort, no matter how well-trained, if you really go to the battlefield, you will soon reveal the essence of vulnerability.

Suppressing bandits and not fighting generals, the poor mainland soldiers who only have their lives left think that the leaders are unwilling to take risks just to send them to death, and they will find a reason to avoid war in their hearts. When they went up, they fought against soldiers, and the Song army often fooled around a few times and saw the opportunity to be defeated. The leaders won. When the soldiers see the hope of making some benefits, they will have some fighting motivation.

Also, a strong army is fought.

Both equipment and combat effectiveness need to be tested in actual combat.

No matter how good and strict the military training is, no matter how powerful the weaponry is calculated by science and the Internet, it is still a showcase, and it is necessary to suffer repeated losses and sacrifices on the battlefield and be reborn in the torment of war.

If you don't really fight, it's hard to know the true strength of your opponent.

This is also the reason why a certain country is looking for opponents everywhere to fight and provoke.

There were already two corpses lying on the singing battlefield in front of them. The generals on both sides wore Praetorian armor. It's hard to tell which character died. But looking at the excitement of the bandits, it should be the officer who died.

The two generals who are fighting are making a long knife and a horse lance, and it is difficult to distinguish who is on which side.

Suddenly, a horse's head flew up, the corpse fell from the horse, and the winner raised a bloody knife in demonstration. The thieves applauded loudly and shouted that the owner of the village was mighty. The conclusion goes without saying. Zhao Yue shook his head and frowned slightly.

This cottage cannot be a sub-village set by Wang Qing, because it has no practical significance. Wang Qing is limited to troops, and he needs to concentrate all his efforts to deal with the repeated blockade, encirclement, and suppression of officers and soldiers, and will not idle this unit.

All the villages were destroyed. This is the only place where it stands.

Zhao Yue believed in his heart that there must be resourcefulness and extraordinary skills to support the officers and soldiers here, and the officers and soldiers were helpless, but when he saw the battle with his own eyes, he was greatly disappointed.

The knife that was shouted as the owner of the village will be at best Liangshan Xiaobiao riding, perhaps comparable to the bantam tiger Wang Ying.

It is too strange that such a family can lead a mountain alone.

The officers and soldiers lost three generals in a row, and the main general was furious: "Who bravely took the lead and took this thief with this general?" ”

It's pitiful to say, inland soldiers. In wartime, the general can also force his subordinates to fight to the death, because the generals are too small to manage. The future and fate are in the hands of the commander-in-chief, and the officers and soldiers are obedient in peacetime, but it is different in wartime. Because the law does not blame the public, no matter how angry the main general is, it is impossible to kill the soldiers who are afraid of war, otherwise it will cause a mutiny, and the main general will not die under the enemy's sword, but will be divided by his subordinates.

The Great Song Dynasty was not a general who was not killed by the mutiny.

What about sending dignitaries from above to investigate harshly?

Rioters cannot be dismissed at once. If you let go, you will inevitably become a bandit, and you have to keep it, but you don't need it, the habits of the officers will not change, and the soldiers who are recruited will soon be like that, and they will have to spend a lot of effort, money, and time to retrain.

If you want to severely punish you with respect, you will kill it, and the consequences will be serious.

Either it causes a new round of more ferocious riots, and the important members of the investigation are also slaughtered, causing trouble in the place, or there will be such things in the future, and the rioters no longer believe that the upper authorities will uphold justice, and killing the generals is followed by crazy rebellion and evil. The result of the treatment is nothing more than catching a few unlucky eggs as a typical demonstration of killing chickens and monkeys, and then threatening and appeasing things.

A dead general will only die and be guilty.

Let you be an official, you can't even bring the soldiers and can't control it, cause trouble for the imperial court, and bring bad influence and demonstration to the army, such a waste crime will be damned. If you don't die in the riot, the court will also punish the crime.

The world will be chaotic, and corruption will prevail. Corruption is rampant, and the country will surely perish. The rulers of the Great Song Dynasty are not without sobriety, but the general trend is the same, how many can keep me alone and not stretch out my hand, watching others indulge in pleasure? Anyway, the country will be destroyed, and if you don't take the opportunity to get enough, you won't get anything.

The officers and generals saw that the king of the mountain was not easy to deal with, even if no one wanted to go up and take risks, but the main general glanced at them and stared at them, so they could only try hard, otherwise they would not be able to be named again?

They have tricks.

We will have a lot of schools, one person can't do it, and two people will go to it. What is face compared to life?

Fight together, but fall into the reputation of fighting bravely.

Two horsemen rushed out of the formation in response and shouted in unison: "The thief is rampant. ”

One of the thieves shouted coldly: "Don't think about bullying more and less." ”

Urge the horse to shoot and intercept a general.

The officer was a burly man with a battle axe, thinking that he was quite brave, but as soon as the axe was raised and was about to be split, the thief general suddenly accelerated his horse and rushed closer, and quickly stabbed him in the throat and picked off his horse.

This official turned out to be a brave martial artist, but there has been no war in the south for many years, and his majestic body has long been hollowed out by wine-colored wealth, and martial arts are only used in occasional drills to meet the occasion, and most of the practice is wasted, and the combat experience has long been thrown away.

The other will be slightly better, but as soon as his brave companion dies, he will be cowardly, and he will be cut down at the slightest distraction.

Those who do not seek an emigration route and remain as bandits are outlaws, and they are becoming more and more excited and screaming.

The performance of the official army fell into Zhao Yue's eyes, and he watched as coldly as he watched the play, as if it was not their leader who died. Some of them are bold and even show a look of schadenfreude.

But the officers and generals are not straw bales.

Straw bag, the local prefect will not let him bring support to Yang Jian's encirclement and suppression of Wang Qingfen, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the government will stay in the city, let alone send him to seek revenge for Yang Jian.

This person has his own opinions.

He sneered, "Capture the thief first and capture the king." There are only two thieves who can fight. The people will work together to remove the fangs and make contributions. ”

With a wave of the horsewhip, he ordered more than a dozen people on the left and right to go up together.

Zhao Yue felt that there was another scene of officers and soldiers beating Zhujiazhuang.

In the end, the officers were from the regular army, and responding to the orders of the commander-in-chief and shouting slogans were naturally louder and more majestic than the bandits, and they swarmed up and surrounded the kings of the two mountains in the core and beat them indiscriminately.

Naturally, this gang of bandits has many leaders under the owner of the village, and all of them have horses, and they look even better than the officers and soldiers.

Charging on horseback is better than fighting on foot. Anyway, you don't have to run long distances, just have horses to save effort.

That's what the bandit leader thinks.

Zhao Gonglian has been an official of the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, but he actually insists on only two things: vigorously popularizing and promoting education, especially the mathematics education of enlightenment. The second is to firmly support the cultivation of war horses by the imperial court.

Education and culture is a project that Daojun regards as a political achievement and fame, and it is also something that he is conceited and loves, so he is naturally willing to do it. Zhao Gonglian did not have a hard time agitating, only needed to emphasize the importance of mathematics from time to time, and praised the emperor to cheer up and maintain his enthusiasm for education.

Quan Bangyan understands Zhao Gonglian's purpose, and has been silently doing his best to supervise education.

Supporting the army to raise horses, Daojun understands its great significance and is not motivated.

He just wants to keep it for pleasure.

The infantry can do a good job of defense, and if you don't open up new lands and conquer foreign countries, what do you need so many war horses for?

Raising horses is expensive.

The annual military expenditure of the border army is heavy enough, and they have to pay more for them to raise horses? What about the enjoyment of the couplet? Where is the money?

Zhao Gonglian can only find another way, two end cards, the idea of the court is to ask Daojun to issue a strict order that the army is not allowed to castrate the war horse in order to make the war horse docile and easy to control, and inform the Western Army, if you don't listen, don't think about getting the war horse captured by my family again.

You think my family sells seeds. Horses can be easily obtained for money?

It was our family Zhuangmin who exchanged his life from Liaokou.

You can't grab the horse yourself, and you dare not cherish it and don't cultivate it, and if you want to take the opportunity to ask the court for more money to fill your pockets, Lao Tzu will not care about your needs.

The Song army was accustomed to gelding horses, first, they did not learn to ride and fight, and the horses were not docile and difficult to control. Second, there are too few horses, and in wartime, there can be horses to replace estrus war horses like horseback peoples.

The border army has suffered from the lack of horses for a long time, and there are more horses, and when the war is coming, they can't help but continue the old habit of castration. Moreover, the angry generals of the Western Army did not take Zhao Gonglian seriously at that time.

When the gelding died on the battlefield, the Western Army paid a lot of money to buy it. Zhao Zhuang didn't pay attention to it at all.

"You didn't have horses before, and you didn't fight the same war? If you get used to it, keep fighting. ”

That's the answer.

The frenzied generals of the Western Army were furious, saying that the Zhao family did not know how to lift, but they could only do nothing.

The emperor's favored retainers are not what they want.

Participation is even more useless.

Zhao Gonglian's job at that time was to review the folds on behalf of the emperor.

A man of insight and power like Lao Chong had to come forward to guarantee that at least he would never have any more gelding horses in his army, and that all the horses that could give birth would be raised, and no matter how urgent the war was, there would be no need to breed. Immediately on the battlefield

After more than ten years of cultivation, the Song army has the current relatively large-scale war horses, and it is mainly in the Western army, which has frequent wars with the Western Xia. War horses are easy for bandits here to obtain.

The backbone thieves who are equivalent to the generals of the officers and soldiers urged the horses to rush into battle together to share the pressure for the king. (To be continued......)
