"The enemy is in the west, and the west is in formation!"

"The enemy is in the east, turn around and line up!"

"Thrust!!"

Duan Cheng stood on the podium, jumping up and down, commanding the rangers of the Southern Army, who lined up back and forth, most of them could not find a place, and were squeezed down and trampled by their comrades. It was obviously a collective advance and stab, but someone looked at it at a loss, and the result was that he was stabbed in the back by the long stick behind him, if it weren't for these days, they had a close relationship and got along well, but I was afraid that they would have already fought.

Looking at this chaotic situation, Duan Cheng shook his head helplessly, although they practiced hard, but if they wanted them to cooperate with the formation, and do it like the Northern Army, it was simply wishful thinking, Duan Cheng practiced them desperately for three days, but he couldn't teach them to line up, in addition, he set up five battalions, all of which were named after the five battalions of the Northern Army, just with the prefix of the Southern Army, but if they wanted to be able to march and fight in units of thousands of people, they would have dispersed and disintegrated before they arrived on the battlefield!

Lu Zhi stood aside and observed carefully, if there were soldiers from the Northern Army leading them, it would be better, but what could they do if they were so hostile to the Northern Army?

The Son of Heaven has already ordered that in twenty days, he will come to observe the drills of the Southern Army in person, Duan Cheng's heart is cold, if the Son of Heaven sees the appearance of the Southern Army, will he let himself be accompanied by Dou Wu?

That's a fat man with a cool temperament, if he messes up, he believes that this son of heaven will never care about any old feelings...

Duan Cheng thought about it, so he practiced even harder, this was the first time he did things for the Son of Heaven, and he must not fail!

..................

Weiyang Palace, in the Hall of Houde,

The little fat man sat on his knees, Xing Ziang stood aside, telling about the affairs of the Southern Army, even if Duan Cheng deliberately concealed it, but he couldn't hide it from Xing Ziang at all, he was an infantry captain of the Northern Army, and many of the Northern Army sergeants who fought with the Southern Army rangers a few days ago were still his subordinates.

"These rangers, how can they behave so badly?"

The little fat man frowned, this shouldn't be, most of these people are famous generals who they deliberately recruited, and they are the most brilliant generals in the future, how could they not even be able to line up, and even be easily defeated by the Northern Army, which is several times less than himself?

"But this is the case, these rangers are brave, but they have no experience in marching in formation, nor have they practiced, and after five or six years of training, they may be the opponents of the Northern Army, and at this moment, they must not be resisted."

The little fat man got up, his face was displeased, but he already understood in his heart what the situation was, these famous generals were all famous generals of later generations, the reason why they could become famous generals was still cultivated by a dangerous battlefield, and at this moment, they did not have any experience, let alone the ability in the future, how could they be the opponents of the Northern Army who had just returned from fighting?

Alas, it seems that he has some dementia.

However, these people can go down in history in the future, which means that they are talented, although the little fat man is a little disappointed, but he is not in a hurry, can't he train these generals to be more outstanding than those contained in the Book of Heaven?

The little fat man smiled and said, "You ask Duan Cheng to tell these rangers that in twenty days, I will personally go to the Southern Military Academy to see them!" Xing Ziang leaned over and saluted, and walked out, the little fat man walked to the door, Han An followed closely behind him, there was already a spring color outside the hall, birds and flowers were singing everywhere, and the breeze was slow, the little fat man looked up at the sky, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

I hope they don't let me down....

....................

Twenty days later, the Southern Military Academy.

The Southern Military Academy was built outside the Xiangtong Pavilion outside Luoyang City.

At this time, the five thousand rangers stood up, holding a spear in their left hand, a shield in their right hand, wearing heavy armor, a Han sword with a belt, carrying a yellow crossbow on their backs, and being armed, which was even more luxurious than the Northern Army.

From that day on, the officers and men of the Southern Army, who originally just wanted to wash away their shame, also had different expectations in their hearts, and the training became even more crazy, they were extremely resolute and not afraid of hardships, the Northern Army practiced for three hours, a small practice on the second day, and a major practice on the fifth day, while the Southern Army practiced from morning to night, day after day, and the imperial money was rich, and the meat was complete every day, which made them persevere!

And every day of drills, Duan Cheng will always stand on the general's platform and go to hardship with them, Lu Zhi will also lead three hundred northern troops to practice with them, and they will not forget to mock the lame southern army, the conflicts between the southern army and the northern army continue to appear, but the southern army has never been victorious.

Tianzi Huang Gai drove slowly, and when he entered the school grounds, Duan Cheng suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Nanjun, meet the Son of Heaven!" More than 5,000 rangers knelt down on one knee violently, and the entire school field roared, and they shouted in unison: "Meet the Son of Heaven!" The morale was strong, the roar was like thunder, and the little fat man slowly walked out of the yellow cover and stepped onto the stage step by step.

He first smiled and helped Duan Cheng up, then looked at Nanjun and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you!!"

The rangers got up one after another, a little curious, looking at the Son of Heaven above in awe, Duan Cheng bent over, lowered his body, and retreated all the way to the steps, he was a head taller than the little fat man, he didn't dare to straighten up, standing beside the little fat man, he was not Zhang Huan's reckless man!

The little fat man looked at them, nodded and shouted: "Morale is like a rainbow, good, great good!" ”

The rangers were extremely excited, looking at the Son of Heaven with blazing eyes, Lu Zhi shook his head, these reckless men are really not afraid of death, their lords dare not face the Son of Heaven, they are still staring at the Son of Heaven, and they should be kind-hearted today, if it is Emperor Xiaoheng.... Lu Zhi shook his head again, Emperor Xiaoheng had never walked out of the palace gate except for worshipping the sky, and he probably wouldn't be stared at directly by the soldiers.

The little fat man nodded towards Duan Cheng, indicating that the drill could begin.

Duan Cheng got up, faced the southern army, and shouted, "Beat the drum!" Array!! ”

"Boom~~~"

When the drums sounded, the little fat man only felt trembling all over, his blood was boiling, and in the shocking drums, the rangers of the Southern Army quickly lined up, listing a full twelve battalions, three or four hundred people in a row, scattered, Duan Cheng was standing on top, without saying a word, staring at the Southern Army below, and secretly looked at the little fat man's face, and saw that the little fat man was not angry because of this chaotic array, so he was relieved.

"The enemy is in the west! Array to the west! ”

Duan Cheng roared, and suddenly, there were twelve battalions, each of which turned towards the west, and the spears in their hands were lowered, but they did not hurt their comrades, Duan Cheng exhaled again, he didn't dare to let them turn around and line up again, they were all real guys in their hands now, if they stabbed each other to death, how could the Son of Heaven bypass him? Duan Cheng yelled, "Thrust! ”

"Huh!!"

The rangers raised their spears and stabbed forward!

"Sword and shield!"

Several men were at the front of the line with large shields, and the rest placed their spears on the shields!

"Bow and crossbow!"

The crossbowmen raised the crossbow in their hands one after another, stepped on the crossbow, their faces turned red, their hands trembled, Duan Cheng didn't have time to speak, but one of them gave his hand in nervousness, the crossbow arrow shot out violently, directly penetrating the flagpole on the platform, the flagpole was upside down, everyone was stunned, the guards suddenly reacted, rushed to the little fat man's side, drew their swords and stood, and a few people were even ready to subdue Duan Cheng directly!

Duan Cheng's face turned pale, it's over, it's a death now....
