Sun Wuzhong gave a few orders to a lieutenant general beside him, this person nodded, picked up two order flags, and said in a deep voice: "The fourth squad listens to the order, separates, and prepares for the drill, Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan each lead half a team, platoon lance stabbing attack, time, two quarters of an hour, and the last one to stand wins!" Speaking of this, he lowered his head and whispered to the herald beside him, "Let Tan Yizhi come over too." ”

Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan glanced at each other, this platoon lance stabbing is to ask everyone to use a real rifle, remove the lance head wrapped in cloth, stained with white ash, and then the two teams are lined up, just like on the battlefield, lined up and stabbed, according to the rules of the exercise in the army, if there are three white ash marks on the body, that is to say, if the opponent is stabbed more than three times, it is judged to have lost combat effectiveness and needs to withdraw from the exercise.

In the past, everyone's fighting against stabs was just a one-on-one competition, and there had never been a drill of fighting in formation, but today, Sun Wuzhong gave such an order in front of Huan Xuan and others, which obviously asked everyone to take out all their skills and conduct drills according to the requirements of actual combat.

Liu Tingyun smiled and kept clapping her hands: "Okay, good, it's so fun, it's really like fighting." Miaoyin, you say, who will win this time? ”

Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "It's hard to say, there are elite people on both sides, it seems that the outcome is unpredictable, maybe, it depends on luck." Speaking of this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she turned to Huan Xuan: "Master Huan, Liu Wuchang, they are all new recruits, maybe this battle formation has not been practiced well, if you really want to practice, I'm afraid it's not good." Or wouldn't it be better to have veterans who have been training for a long time to do the exercises? ”

Huan Xuan shook his head: "Miss Wang, the whole army of this Beifu Army is newly recruited strong men from all over the country, and there are no veterans, besides, time waits for no one, if Qin Yu invades the south tomorrow, can we say that the army has not been trained yet, and we have to wait to fight again?" King Huiji asked me to wait for the labor army, didn't he just want to see the real combat readiness level of the Beifu army now? ”

Wang Miaoyin's lips pursed slightly, as if she had something to say, Liu Jingxuan, who was standing on the side, suddenly said loudly with full of anger: "Gongzi Huan is right, if we fight tomorrow, then we will go to the battlefield tomorrow, please Gongzi Huan, the two young ladies rest assured, we are ready to fight for the country at any time!" ”

Huan Xuan laughed and looked at Liu Jingxuan: "Sure enough, he is a strong man, worthy of being a general, Jingxuan, you ............"

Sun Wuzhong suddenly coughed twice, Huan Xuan suddenly came to his senses, and shook his head with a smile: "This is in the army, I will talk about it later, Liu Jingxuan, I am looking forward to your performance!" ”

Liu Yu's heart was puzzled, and Tan Pingzhi, who had sneaked over from the medical camp, whispered: "Where did this Liu Jingxuan come from, why does even this Huan Gongzi know him?" It doesn't look like an ordinary person, so it's no wonder it's so arrogant. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and replied in a low voice: "Didn't he say that he was a son of an official family when he came, but he had to rely on his ability to fight for the team." It's rare for someone like him to be, and I think Ashou will reveal his true identity when he sees fit. ”

Sun Wuzhong also seemed to hear the discussion of Liu Jingxuan's identity from the people behind him, his face sank, and he said loudly: "Didn't you hear General Ben's military order, divide into two teams, platoon drills, now!" ”

Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan nodded to each other, and each walked to the side, these days, Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan's two leading brothers have been vaguely formed, and the recruits of the whole team are also divided into two groups, respectively, under the leadership of the two of them, they practice every day, compete and compete, and it has been going on for a long time.

Seeing that the two of them turned to the side, everyone stood behind Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan according to their usual detachments, while the sergeants and idlers of the other teams dispersed, and soon, on the school field under this banner, only forty-eight sergeants of the fourth squad remained.

Twenty-three people stood behind Liu Yu, Wei Yongzhi, Wei Shunzhi, Tan Pingzhi, Yu Qiujin and others were all on his side, and behind Liu Jingxuan, Sun Chu, Xiang Jing, Xie Zhifeng and others also stood in a row. The auxiliaries of the baggage battalion hurriedly ran in and out, wrapped a pole around the head of the lance, and a four-foot-long (4.2 m) rifle stained with white ash powder was distributed to everyone's hands.

Liu Tingyun's eyes widened, at this time they were already sitting with Huan Xuan, sitting in a pergola on the high ground that had been prepared a long time ago, in this position, the following actions were unobstructed, she was eating a piece of watermelon, and said to Huan Xuanqi on the side: "Why is this lance so long, and why do they hang a small copper block at the end of the lance?" ”

Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "The infantry lance is made of good elm or arbor, and the first role is to withstand the assault of the opponent's infantry cavalry on the battlefield, especially the cavalry, Miss Liu, you must know that there are many cavalry in the north, and they are fast and powerful, and they can often knock people out of more than ten steps at once, and the whole team of soldiers lined up in a dense queue may be able to rush down five or six columns at once, or even a dozen columns, which is the reason why our infantry in the Great Jin Dynasty is difficult to fight the northern iron cavalry." ”

Wang Miaoyin's eyes flowed: "Yes, in the southern rivers, the northern cavalry is difficult to play, but once to the northern plains, the iron cavalry is invincible. ”

Huan Xuan's eyes flashed, and his tone became heavy: "Speaking of this, my Huan family actually has the most right to speak, my father's three northern expeditions, except for the first time to eliminate the Cheng Han country that divided Bashu, the last two times once in Guanzhong, once on the edge of the Yellow River, are unable to defeat the opponent's elite cavalry, unable to prevent their assault, and the success fell short, after his old man came back, he improved his weapons and made these super long rifles, just to one day, to be able to take revenge and ride with steps!" General Sun, I'm not wrong. ”

Sun Wuzhong nodded: "Yes, these lances were ordered by Duke Xuanwu and Uncle Ling when they left the town of Jingkou one after another, and in the past ten years, we have mastered this lance method and array drills." ”

Liu Tingyun suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, so that's the case." I understand that such a long lance is used to withstand the impact of cavalry, but what does it mean to add a copper block to the tail of the lance? ”

Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Sister, have you ever seen a peasant in the countryside carrying a flat burden?" These wooden bamboo burdens also have weight, if you want to be stable on both sides, you can only take it in the center, but the sergeants hold the lance, is only holding one end, then the front end will sag because of the weight, can not be stabbed, only like this in the tail of the lance to add a small copper block, in order to balance the weight on both sides, so that the tip of the lance in front can be straight. You see, it's like what Liu Yu is doing now. ”

She stood at the front of the queue in the east with her spring-like fingers, raised in front of the horizontal lance, Liu Yu, who was as immobile as a mountain, the autumn wind blew his rock-like resolute face, showing the pride of a man, and cooperating with his imposing roar: "The left team of the fourth squad of the Flying Leopard Battalion of the Beifu Army, woohoo!" ”
