Chapter 8: Guanzhong Rebellion
The biggest difference between the so-called homeless people or the rebellious army and the regular army is probably the problem of discipline. Formal and regular, there must be rules, no rules are not a circle, and the displaced people just lack this kind of thing, or such a spirit of self-restraint.
Queues and slogans seem to be very simple and ordinary, but they are very useful for tempering the cohesion and discipline of a team. Once this kind of training has been cultivated for a long time, and thus a deep-rooted impression has been formed in their minds, then the critical moment can play a big role.
Especially in times of great war, discipline can play a role in determining the victory or failure of a war. Without discipline, an army of millions is like sheep, on the contrary, with good discipline, an army of thousands is like a tiger. In this regard, it can be seen from the many battles in ancient times where fewer won more.
Li Xin didn't mean that he wanted to pull this team outside, he just consciously wanted to train this team, or he had a faint expectation and wanted to try his ideas. Or, he thinks that this should be a good help for these young people, after all, in such an era, maybe one day it will come in handy. After all, there is no such thing as an impregnable fortress, and this village can't be a paradise forever!
"One-two-one, one-two-one.......!" In the basin in the mountains, dozens of young people were lining up in five columns, and under Li Xin's orders, they were crookedly moving forward and marching to the left. Seeing their appearance, Li Xin seemed to think of what he looked like when he was in military training in a trance.
"Li Lang, what kind of queue training are yours, is it really useful? I don't think it can kill the enemy, and it can't hunt! Li Erhei had doubts in his heart for two days, squatted aside and watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask at this time.
"Of course it works, you can't see it now, but in the future, you'll understand. But I hope you never see that moment! Li Xin glanced at him and said lightly.
"Why?" Zhou Tong was just as curious.
Li Xin didn't answer, as he said, when that moment came, they would naturally understand what they meant today. Because once this skill is used, it can only mean that everyone is already on the battlefield, and it can't be as simple as guarding the mountain. Li Xin subconsciously didn't want to let these young people get involved in such a thing, after all, the sword and gun have no eyes, and few people have come back to fight in ancient times!
"You two don't hold the club, stand over for me and practice along!" Looking at these two guys, squatting aside as a spectator, Li Xinzhong moved and said.
"Isn't it! Do we want it too? Hearing this, Li Erhei was not happy.
"Who said that if you don't obey, you will break his leg?" Li Xin stared at these two guys and said lightly.
"It's okay, I just want to try this training method, come on, who is afraid of whom!" Zhou Tong, who was on the side, saw Li Xin's eyes at this moment, and faintly felt that there was a momentum, so he couldn't help but be three points shorter, and hurriedly said.
The two of them had to run into the group with a bitter face, and unlike the two of them, the rest of the team snickered together. Fortunately, the training in the past few days has been quite fruitful, and everyone does not dare to laugh as presumptuous as before.
"Alright, keep training, one-two-one, one-two-one......!" Li Xin shouted a slogan, carried a stone on his back, and took the lead in front of him and ran into the distance. The crowd behind them formed a long line, shouting slogans and following behind.
In the past two months, Li Xin's time has basically been spent on this, and in general, the effect is still very good, and now the team of fifty or sixty people is completely different from before. Especially the change in spirit, although it is not yet an elite soldier, at least it is no longer a rabble.
"Kill..... Kill.....! "It's been July in the blink of an eye, and the weather in the mountains is starting to get hot, but for those in training, it's not so much. Under the leadership of Li Xin, everyone raised the knives in their hands and killed the straw men in front of them one by one. is different from that kind of indiscriminate slashing, everyone obeys the order, the order is together, and the courage to move forward, the formation must be maintained to be roughly not chaotic to be qualified.
"Well, it looks different now. Inexplicably, I have a feeling of being a general! Looking at the appearance of his brothers, Li Erhei smiled from ear to ear.
"Brother Li is still powerful, if it were up to us, even if he scratched his head, he wouldn't have thought of training like this!" Zhou Tong complimented on the side. After this period of training, this kid is completely convinced, and he already understands just by hearing this title.
Although Li Erhei is older than Li Xin in terms of age, he is also more respectful to Li Xin, after all, they still admire people who have the ability. It's like Wang Meng, maybe they are very sure that they can win in a single battle, but for highly technical things such as the art of war and military, they are completely inferior, and they themselves understand this very well.
"It's okay, as long as you train for a while, you should be able to improve a little more." Li Xin was not so happy, in his opinion, these people in front of him were not half a star worse than the elite soldiers in his heart.
"Zhou Tong, Erhei, hurry back, Mr. Zhou has something to do with you!" Just as Zhou Tong and the others wanted to say something more, a shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Well, let's go back and have a look!" Hearing this, Zhou Tong and Li Erhei hurriedly got up and ran towards the village.
"Look, let's continue training!" Although Li Xin was curious about what they were doing, he saw that everyone else present was standing there and did not move, so he immediately reprimanded.
The group continued to practice, but after a short time, everyone stopped, because someone came to call everyone back. Although I didn't know what I was going to do, dozens of people, including Li Xin, were asked to take the guys and wait at the place in front of the village.
With a stomach full of questions, Li Xin went back to Zhou's house first, and as soon as he got there, he met a lot of people coming out of it, except for Zhou Fang's father and son and Li Erhei, who he was very familiar with, basically people who had several faces, although they were not particularly familiar, but Li Xin still knew that this time things might be unusual. Because these people who came were basically people with more prestige in the village.
In the whole village, in addition to Zhou Fang, the biggest leader, there are actually a few people at the bottom, one of them is also a person named Wu Heng in his forties, and another person named Qin Tu, who is also about the same age, and then there are younger ones, such as Zhou Tong and Li Erhei. In addition, there are a few people, which can be regarded as constituting the power system of the entire village, and they are basically responsible for deciding big and small things.
And this time, when these people got together, it looked as if they had just discussed something, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were solemn, some were excited, and some were secretive. Li Xin passed by them and greeted them one by one, and then he entered inside and saw Zhou Fang's father and son.
"What's going on? Why is everyone gathered together? Li Xin asked Zhou Tong.
"Don't ask so much questions first, go and prepare first, we're going down the mountain soon!" Zhou Tong looked at him and said in a low voice.
"What are you going to do?" Li Xin wondered. I didn't make it clear, and I don't know what to prepare!
"You'll know later, just bring your weapons!" Zhou Tong refused to go into details.
Li Xin had no choice, so according to his words, he took his bow and arrows, swords and shields, and went to the meeting place in front of the village. When he got there, he realized that this time the incident might be extraordinary, because most of the young people in the entire village had already gathered together, and there were at least more than a thousand people.
"Is this going to war?" A thought flashed through Lee's confidence.
There was no signal at the bottom of the mountain, this was obviously not someone attacking the mountain, and besides, it would not take so many people to defend the mountain. Among the more than 1,000 people, the youngest ones are probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones are about the same as Zhou Fang.
Just when everyone was very puzzled and curious like Li Xin, Zhou Fang and the others came over, only to see him standing on a big rock, looked at the people below, and said: "Fu Qin has no way, he claims to be respectful, and for so many years, he has often attacked us, wanting to kill us all. Now, the rebels in Guanzhong are all around, and the thieves are not caring for themselves, and it is time for us to fight back. Today, let's go down the mountain, conquer Huayin County, and snatch everything back! Let's go! ”
"Down, down, down......!" When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered, and the depressed atmosphere that had been blocked in the mountain for many years seemed to come out, and everyone held their weapons and went down the mountain excitedly.
"Siege? These people are actually going to attack Huayin County? Li Xin in the crowd was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Fang and them to make such a move, with such a small number of people, they actually attacked the heavily guarded county town, what is the difference between this and sending them to death?
"Zhou Tong, tell me clearly, what's going on? Why do you want to attack the county seat, don't you know how dangerous it is? Thinking of this, Li Xin hurriedly walked through the crowd, grabbed in front of Zhou Tong, and asked.
"Now I won't hide it from you. There was news from the mountain before, a few days ago, there was smoke all over Guanzhong, and many places have erected a banner against Fu Qin, and now Guanzhong is like a pot of wheat porridge, which is a good opportunity for us to start an incident. We've suffered from their bird anger for so many years, and it's time for revenge! In addition, Huayin County is heavily guarded on weekdays, but now it is different, most of the guards and horses there have been transferred to the vicinity of Chang'an to quell the rebellion! Zhou Tong saw his worried look, but he smiled and said to him.
