Chapter 162: Look at Lao Tzu's elite soldiers

Three months have passed, and the officer corps in charge of the barracks, under the personal guidance of Li Zhongyi, has gradually developed a good habit of questioning authority.

The recruits were trained for three months, and the queue, discipline, and internal affairs were also equipped with the basic qualities of the Hechi Township Army.

Compared with the Hechi Township Army, the officers and soldiers of the supervising military camp are still far inferior in terms of endurance on their feet. This is determined by the basic living environment, and it can only be made up for slowly by time.

As for the crossbowmen, in terms of the accuracy of archery, in fact, the prison camp is slightly better. After all, the northerners are good at shooting, and the Broken Army is the best of the best, the elite of the elite selected from the forbidden armies from all walks of life.

Li Zhongyi made a decisive decision to let the officers return to the building and lead the soldiers to participate in training during the day. In the evening, he still gathered in Li Zhongyi's big tent to learn various skills in military operations.

Although the training of the officer corps is far less systematic and formalized than that of the military academies of later generations, this is already the most formal and enlightening officer training system of this era.

Training and learning were proceeding in an orderly manner, and Li Zhongyi looked at the prison camp that was gradually showing a strong military posture, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The ancients were not stupid at all, take Yang Lie as an example, since he mastered the rules of scale drawing and contour line mapping, the topographic map he drew was much more professional than Li Zhongyi's half-scooped water.

Moreover, when Li Zhongyi led the generals to inspect the terrain on the spot, Yang Lie's reaction was much faster than Li Zhongyi's.

Where you can hide as many soldiers as you want, and where you can easily be ambushed. Where the ferry can be reached within an hour, the maximum number of troops that can pass guò is simply a treasure.

Li Zhongyi has ideals to believe. This Yang Lie is definitely from a family of Jiangmen, but since he himself is unwilling to say it, Li Zhongyi will not be reluctant.

As long as there are no alien barbarians in Li Zhongyi's officer corps, everything else is easy to say. Li Zhongyi's habit of employing people has truly achieved inclusiveness. Tolerance is great. Regardless of background, those who can go up, and those who can't resolutely go down.

A small group. Or a team, the rules set at the time of creation have an absolute exemplary effect on the latecomers.

As early as the second month. Li Zhongyi took on the task of literacy of the clergy. Confessions were given to the members of the officer corps.

At the end of the month, the proportion of literate soldiers, as a hard indicator of a veto, became a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of every officer.

Only by reading can we understand reason, and only by understanding reason can we know the general righteousness of the nation, rather than just knowing who gives food to whom to die.

Most of the angry youths of later generations were students. They don't have much experience, and their thoughts are simple. is still pretentious, thinking that the rise and fall of the world is none other than them.

However, Li Zhongyi also came step by step from the angry youth. This person always needs some spiritual power support, even if it is brainless blood, it is always a hundred times stronger than being a slave in a muddy way.

The Khitans destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty and entered Bianliang City all the way, committing many heinous and evil deeds along the way. Northerners are extremely badly affected, and almost every family has a book of blood and tears.

Li Zhongyi seized this opportunity to organize officers and soldiers to hold grievance meetings in the capital and deepen their hatred of the Khitans.

"Damn, the Khitans are so bad, not to mention the grass valley, they also killed my father and robbed my sister. My sister was only 14 years old at the time, and as a result, she was naked, and ...... a soldier appeared with tears streaming down his face, openly accusing Khitan imperialism of wanton humiliation and oppression of my kind Central Plains people.

"Kill those dogs......"

"Yes, kill them all......"

"My cow was also robbed by them and roasted and eaten......"

"Damn, my family's crops have grown, and I am about to harvest, but I was robbed by Khitan dog thieves to feed the horses, and the dog thieves who entered the donkey ......"

Because he said all the personal pain, it deeply resonated with everyone. For a time, the crowd was furious, gritting their teeth one by one, eager to eat the flesh of the Khitans and drink the blood of the Khitans.

Li Zhongyi in the big tent couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard the complaints outside the tent, this is what he wanted.

An army with a spiritual pillar will not be able to bend its knees in front of the invading alien iron horsemen, but will fight to the death to the last man.

Nationalism is a big banner that Li Zhongyi used to quickly unite the hearts of the military. Now it seems that the power is amazing.

In the past few months, Fu Zhaoxin has not been idle, because it is a two-day exercise, his Fu family formation has also roughly taken shape.

"No blame, how is the training of a certain elite soldier?" In order to show off, Fu Zhaoxin deliberately pulled Li Zhongyi to stand on the teaching and parade platform with him, and watched the officers and soldiers under his command stand in their respective positions under the transfer of officers at all levels.

Li Zhongyi looked at it and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it was originally a very complete infantry formation, but under the command of Fu Zhaoxin's command banner, a bunch of pikemen, sword and shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers were mixed together, and the whole thing was a hodgepodge.

"Hehe, what if the Khitan elite cavalry concentrates thousands of troops and assaults from there?" Li Zhongyi held the preliminarily formed officer corps in his hands, and there were hundreds of literate soldiers who had been trained as non-commissioned officers, and his waist was already erect, so he naturally did not speak as calmly as he did when he first took office.

Fu Zhaoxin followed the direction of Li Zhongyi's finger and looked at it intently, but it was the weakest side of the infantry pikemen, only three rows.

"Hehe, what's the matter? There are a large number of crossbowmen nearby to cover and get out of the way. "Fu Zhaoxin has never fought with the Khitans, and unlike Li Zhongyi, he has calculated the controllable war factors as much as possible in advance.

"Fu Shuai, I think the array over there seems to be something inappropriate, why don't you do a small verification?" Li Zhongyi quietly provoked Fu Zhaoxin.

As soon as Fu Zhaoxin heard this, he immediately came to his senses, he pursed his lips and smiled, and asked Li Zhongyi: "No blame, how to verify?" ”

Li Zhongyi explained with a smile: "I just want to see how long it will take for the cavalry to rush to the front of the queue, as well as the degree to which the crossbowmen shoot arrows to cover the infantry." ”

"Okay, you decide what to do." Fu Zhaoxin is a family heirloom top-secret formation. It is also a battle-tested formation, and he is very confident in it.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, fighting in the era of cold weapons. The less the infantry array exposed, the easier it was to concentrate on the enemy in front of them, and the thicker the ranks, the harder it was for the cavalry to break through.

The battle formation put out by Fu Zhaoxin can directly touch the enemy's face, and it has already passed six sides. It's really time to face the enemy. It is easy to be flanked by the enemy's cavalry from all directions, giving the soldiers the false appearance of being encircled, and the possibility of the army's morale breaking down is extremely high.

Thereupon. Under Li Zhongyi's explanation, Fu Zhaoxin ordered that all the archers near the three rows of infantry were only equipped with bows and arrows with broken iron arrows, and the crossbowmen were slow to shoot. Just sit still.

And then. Under Fu Zhaoxin's order, more than 200 officers or tooth soldiers with horses all gathered in front of Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi ordered people to get double layers of iron armor for these cavalrymen to wear, and then ordered people to cover these precious horses with leather armor.

Good horses are too expensive to hurt!

After making preparations, Li Zhongyi found Li Xiaoqi, who had been extremely proficient in equestrian kung fu. Let him lead the charge.

Li Xiaoqi led more than 200 cavalry and drove the horses. Along the perimeter of the site, the low winding is kilometers away.

When Fu Zhaoxin saw that the cavalry troops were ready, he waved the command flag violently, and Li Xiaoqi began to take the heavily armed cavalry, slowly adding, and when he rushed to 500 meters, Li Xiaoqi suddenly galloped wildly.

At this time, in the face of the fierce cavalry troops, some archers panicked, and there were some cowards who shot arrows early, causing many people to release empty arrows with them.

Fortunately, Fu Zhaoxin did not eat dry food, and when the cavalry brigade rushed into more than 300 meters, under the restraint of the officers, the archers began to shoot arrows randomly.

Li Zhongyi carefully looked at the way the archers were shooting, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, shooting indiscriminately without rules would also lose the concentrated strike density of firepower, although there were some threats to the cavalry troops, which would cause some losses, but it would not play a decisive role.

Sure enough, while Li Xiaoqi took the lead and charged, he simply hid on the side of the kick, and within a distance of three hundred meters, in twenty seconds, he had already rushed to the front of the three rows of infantry, and the archers only released three arrows.

The infantrymen, who had never seen the cavalry group charge, looked at the roaring cavalry with their hooves and roaring, and they were so frightened that some even threw away the spears in their hands and ran away.

Seeing that the cavalry force was about to collide with the already broken infantry column, Li Xiaoqi turned his horse's head and led the cavalry brigade to make a gorgeous turn a few feet away from the infantry column.

Fu Zhaoxin saw this situation, pursed his lips tightly, and was speechless for a long time.

The generals of the Broken Army on the teaching platform were also shocked, and they all set their eyes on Li Zhongyi.

Everyone understood that even if the archers did not pinch off the iron arrows, they would not be able to inflict too much damage on these cavalry units in double armor.

What's more, this is just more than two hundred cavalry troops.

If it is five thousand Khitan iron horsemen wearing iron armor, roaring, the seemingly solid large array set up by Fu Zhaoxin will definitely be opened in an instant, and everyone in the formation who is shaken will all become lambs slaughtered by the Khitans.

To be honest, the soldiers trained by Fu Zhaoxin do have his uniqueness. First of all, they are all elite soldiers, and secondly, the military law is also very strict, and no one dares to harass the place and bully others.

The problem is that the soldiers trained by Fu Zhaoxin, in Li Zhongyi's opinion, have too poor mobility, and the degree of setting up a large formation is too slow.

The more complex the formation, the longer it takes, and the more difficult it is to command.

Before the two armies started the battle, the soldiers were transferred by the officers, and it took more than an hour, close to three hours, just to set up a formation.

It is conceivable that such a dogmatic so-called formation is actually of no benefit except for being poor and tossing.

After Li Zhongyi led the Hechi Township Army and fought dozens of battles, he deeply realized a truth: the simpler the queue, the more capable the grass-roots officers such as Shi Chang, Team Zheng and Du First, the easier it was for military orders to be thoroughly implemented.

"If you want to stop the cavalry, you have to use the method of the Pondu Prison." Li Zhongyi struck while the iron was hot, led Fu Zhaoxin and others, and entered the prison camp.

"Urgent gathering." Li Zhongyi gave the order categorically, and Liao Shanhe blew the bamboo whistle that had been in his mouth for a long time without hesitation. (To be continued!)
