Chapter 12: The urge to shout cards

"Leader Yan, it's not good!"

The sentry's startled tone caused Yan Shun to panic, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to scold: "What are you doing in a panic?" What's wrong? ”

"The officers and soldiers are coming, less than ten miles away from Qingfeng Mountain!"

"Huh!?" Yan Shun was even more panicked when he heard this, and subconsciously opened his eyes wide and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?" Who leads the troops? ”

The sentinel said, "There are five or six hundred." The leader of the troops is not clear, but the flag is embroidered with big flowers, and the small one should be Xiao Li Guanghuarong! ”

"This ......"

Yan Shun gasped, turned his head to look at Song Jiang and said, "Brother, the officers and soldiers are coming, how should they arrange their troops to defend against the enemy?" ”

"The officers and soldiers are fierce and invincible. Pass the order, bring bows and arrows, prepare more wooden bases and rolling stones, guard at various passes, only defend but not attack, and defending Qingfeng Mountain is victory. If the enemy retreats, do not pursue, if there is no disobedience to the order, go down the mountain to fight without permission, according to the order, behead! ”

After speaking, Song Jiang was secretly happy, this was a war scene choreographed and directed by him and Hua Rong, and the reason why he kept it secret was also to let these extras who were kept in the dark see the battle scenes, have a long knowledge of war, and initially understand what a military order is.

Sure enough, under Liu Gao's repeated urging, Hua Rong led 600 officers and soldiers to attack the mountain. The officers and soldiers were so strong that they sent 200 men in the first wave, ready to take it in one go, but they retreated in a rain of arrows.

Song Jiang was also full of emotion when he saw the scene, and the arrows of the soldiers of Qingfeng Mountain ...... It can't be called an archery, it can only be said that the arrow is shot out in a certain direction, and the accuracy is extremely poor. This is understandable, because they are people and have no formal training.

But the regular army of Qingfeng Village lay firmly on the slope under such a rain of arrows, and after a while, they turned their heads and retreated when they saw the stones rolling down. This is not as real as making movies in later generations, no wonder the Song army can't do the Liao soldiers, Jin soldiers, and Western Xia soldiers, such soldiers are only suitable for making movies.

In a trance, Song Jiang felt that he was really making a movie, and he was the director, and an urge to shout the card and do it all over again arose.

In this trance, the second wave of the offensive of the officers and soldiers started again, and this time it may be that the reason for Hua Rong's scolding is that the offensive is a little less stronger than the last time, and it is only a little less strong. When a large number of stones rolled down, the officers and soldiers also rolled down the mountain.

Then General Zhang Feng suggested that Qingfeng Mountain was high and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and dozens of stone cannons were needed to capture, so Hua Rong retreated.

After the officers and men retreated, Song Jiang inquired about the establishment of the troops, and Wang Ying gave a detailed account of the reorganization. Because there were more than two hundred horses, two cavalry companies and a reconnaissance squad were formed; Due to the limited personnel, only two battalions of infantry were formed, excluding logistical personnel.

Song Jiang thought that this was also very good, if you want to train these rabble into qualified fighters, you still need to pay a lot of sweat yourself. "Although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs", and the perfection of each item needs to be punched and kicked by yourself, tired! But to whom should this be heard?

"Officially train soldiers from today."

Song Jiang looked at Zheng Tianshou and said: "Brother Zheng, the cavalry will be handed over to you, first train them to ride horses, to ride on horses as if on flat ground, people are horses, horses are people, and people and horses are integrated into a whole." Practice the tactics of retraining cavalry in this way. ”

Zheng Tianshou arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, brother!" ”

Song Jiang immediately released the battalion-level officers, the first battalion commander Yan Shun, the second battalion commander Wang Ying, the cavalry battalion was less than three companies, and it was still organized according to the battalion level, and Zheng Tianshou was the commander of the cavalry battalion, which would be supplemented later.

Song Jiang said: "Although the number of infantry is not enough, it is still organized according to a regiment, and the Yanshun brothers are also the regiment commanders. ”

Yan Shun and others asked Song Jiang to be the head of the regiment, but Song Jiang politely refused: "The current situation does not allow me to be the leader, everyone also knows that I have a father and younger brother in my family, and I will not let the opportunity come." Now all the infantry and cavalry are assembled on foot, except for those on duty, and the training begins today! ”

For a few moments, hundreds of soldiers stood in a clearing. The soldiers did not stand up, some rubbed their hands together to keep warm, some covered their hands in their sleeves, and some stomped their feet, huddled together and chattered in a chaotic manner, and they could not see the formation at all.

If someone closes their eyes, they will not think that this is a training ground, and their thoughts will fly to the vegetable market, the noisy cries of selling, the flies flying around the rotten vegetable leaves, and the buzzing sound is constant.

Song Jiang frowned, this was even worse than he imagined, where are these soldiers, even a group of farmers who came to listen to the village chief's lectures were more disciplined than them. A team of less than 1,000 people gathered here for more than half an hour, looking left and right, whispering and even squatting on the ground.

Yan Shun scolded a few words, and their voices stopped, but like penguins in Antarctica, they swayed left and right to look up at Song Jiang standing on the stage.

Song Jiang felt very uncomfortable at first glance, how could such a team have discipline at all, and how could it have combat effectiveness. It seems that if you don't knock this bunch of rabbits hard, you won't be able to integrate a scattered team into an elite army.

Immediately, Song Jiang snorted coldly: "Look at your appearance, there is no standing phase, no sitting phase, the whole team is like the people who came to see the temple fair, how can there be a little bit of an army?" ”

With a cold drink, the team finally calmed down, but the formation was still miserable, crooked like a dangerous wall, and it was in danger of collapsing at any time. Some of them are hunched, some are drooping, some are hunched, some are hunched...... Directly without the slightest military temperament.

"If you can't stand up straight, how can you deal with the officers and soldiers? Don't think that you have always been very majestic, that is, to bully the defenseless people, if you encounter armed officers and soldiers, you are a puddle of mud! Such a soldier is not even capable of protecting himself, let alone protecting his family and defending the cottage! Yan Shun, send the order down and let the team stand in a row, today's training session is standing! Learn my posture and they will stand as long as I stand! ”

The soldiers hurriedly lined up, kicking the feet of Yan Shun and the other three brothers softly, and barely had the shape of a team.

Song Jiang had participated in a month's military training when he was in college in his previous life, and he learned the military posture of soldiers well, he stood straight and said: "Stand like me, raise your head, raise your chest, tuck your abdomen, lift your buttocks, and look ahead!" Yan Shun, you are currently the captain of the law enforcement team, leading the law enforcement team to enforce the law, and whoever can't stand up straight will be knocked hard with a stick! ”

Yes! What can you do if you can't even stand up? These men who licked blood with knives were not afraid of being knifed, and they were also afraid of being beaten with sticks, but they were most afraid of losing face in front of their brothers, and they all tried to imitate Song Jiang's posture to stand. Despite the awkward posture, the momentum to try to do well has risen.

Song Jiang was sure of himself, not only because he liked to exercise before the crossing, but also because the body he occupied was also considered powerful. Although it is not as good as Wu Song and Li Kui can fight with tigers, but at least it is not worse than ordinary men, it seems that this Song Jiang also practices martial arts on weekdays, and he is not a weak scholar in people's impressions. In his previous life, when he saw that Song Jiang had two apprentices, Kong Ming and Kong Liang, he didn't believe it too much, but now it seems that it should be true.

After standing for half an hour, some soldiers felt their legs and feet sore, and an urge to sit down spontaneously arose. But seeing that Song Jiang was still standing straight on the ground like a green pine, this thought disappeared immediately, followed by a contest of wills, you can do it, I can do it.

After another half hour, some of the crumbling soldiers fell to the ground, and then they were forced to stand up by the law enforcement team, but then fell to the ground again. It's not that they are not strong-willed, but they lack training on weekdays, and their physical strength can't keep up at all.

People often puff out their breath, and when others don't fall, he grits his teeth and insists, and when someone falls, his breath slowly vents.

After another half an hour, more and more soldiers fell to the ground, and Song Jiang said loudly when he saw this: "It's really good to be able to hold on until now, and whoever can't hold on and retreat is considered a hero!" Those who can hold on are compared with me, and look at the last half hour, how many people can stand? ”

This sentence stirred up the blood of the soldiers again, and some of those who had fallen to the ground in front got up again. To be honest, Song Jiang also felt physically tired and wanted to retreat and rest, but he couldn't.

The road to be taken in the future will be even more difficult, and if we can't persist in such hardships, how can we open up a road to heaven for the brothers?

So he gritted his teeth and insisted.
