Chapter 121: The Little Fat Dragon on the Battlefield (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zeng Ziyun was shocked by the strictness of the military rank of the Guards, but Wang Danxu and Li Xuan were not surprised.
Li Xuan is not surprised, because he compares the Guards with the modern army and even the modern army in the video, in his cognition, the casualty bearing rate of the modern army can reach thirty or forty percent or even higher, and in countless film and television dramas of World War I and World War II that he has watched, the army is one after another, charging under the machine gun.
Even in modern armies, it is able to face the enemy's artillery and platoon guns step by step, ignoring the comrades who are constantly falling beside them, and continue to advance with muskets without squinting, listening to the slogans of the officers and pulling the trigger to shoot.
Legend has it that Napoleon's army could charge even with a casualty rate of up to 50 percent!
In addition to spiritual bonuses such as faith, such an army is also indispensable for extremely strict military discipline.
With the modern army seen from film and television dramas in later generations as a comparison, then Li Xuan naturally does not feel too strange about the performance of the guards, and sometimes even feels dissatisfied.
As for Wang Danxu, he was purely brainwashed by Li Xuan!
Since Wang Danxu was sent by Li Xuan to train the Guards, Li Xuan only asked him to do two things, that is, strict military discipline and let the Guards list up a neat and tight formation.
Therefore, for most of the past six months, the training of the Guards has been about two things: discipline and queues.
The training of the platoon can also be said to be based on discipline, so the discipline training of the Guards is extremely rigorous and even the most important training from beginning to end.
In fact, even Li Xuan, who came up with such a set of training contents, didn't know that the guards who paid one-sided attention to discipline training already had some foundation in the modern army just from the point of battlefield discipline.
And Wang Danxu said every day that Li Xuan said how important the battlefield discipline was, and Li Xuan would often express dissatisfaction with the military discipline of the Guards, so under the influence of Li Xuan, and there were no other contemporaries for him to use as a reference, so Wang Danxu himself did not feel that the military discipline of the Guards he had trained was at what level.
Everyone's perception is different, which leads them to have different opinions about the same thing.
In Zeng Ziyun's view, the military discipline of the Guards has been strict to the point of being on a par with the powerful army in the world, in Li Xuan's view, the Guards are still far from the modern army in his mind, and in Wang Danxu's view, the Guards he trained have not yet met Li Xuan's requirements.
As for Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, they think that this set of the Guards is just nonsense, and they don't think that the Guards are of any use in doing this.
Is it a matter of making a line of wars and training soldiers to be like marionettes?
It's impossible, you have to rely on a fierce general like Butcher Chen to fight, one person can scare the enemy half to death, and dozens of armored warriors charge, which is enough to tear apart the defense line of hundreds of enemy troops!
Many of them have different opinions about the Guard, but that doesn't stop the Guards from having their first official battle!
As Li Xuan's order was issued, the hundreds of people of the Tang Dynasty King Division acted quickly.
Needless to say, the guards who are the vanguards are already marching forward with neat steps under the leadership of each team at the sound of an order.
And those standing armies with a large number of old fritters also know that they only have to face a Ming army of only a few dozen people, not the main force of the Ming army of thousands of people.
These old oil fields are typical bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when the situation is unfavorable, they run faster than anyone else, but when they encounter a tailwind, they are more ruthless than anyone else!
So there is no need to boost morale, these old fritters are all green-eyed, and they rushed out with the team members above.
If it's too late, all the credit will be robbed by the babies of the Guards!
The distance between the two sides was not too far, only a few miles away, even if a large force moved, but after half an hour, the advance of the Guards also arrived smoothly and stopped more than 60 Ming troops in front.
Baihu, a strong man who was the leader of the Ming army, looked at the sudden appearance of a group of half-sized men dressed in messy clothes in front of him and the others, and he was a little puzzled at first, but he soon laughed wildly!
"These are the pseudo-Tang thief army? Why are they all little kids who haven't grown any hair! He looked dismissive
"Like, look at their banners, that's a dragon? I think it's a fat dragon! A small flag beside him also laughed: "Oh, I'm laughing to death, those pseudo-Tang thieves are all dead, that's why they took out these little kids to make up the numbers?" ”
He laughed and cursed, and pointed to the fat dragon sword flag on the opposite side of the guard.
His voice was so loud that several of the guards on the opposite side heard his smirk, and they all showed anger.
Damn, dare to laugh at our red dragon holding a sword flag, this is a military flag given by the emperor, although the red dragon embroidered on it is a little chubby, it doesn't look mighty, but how cute this chubby red dragon is!
And these hateful Ming soldiers in front of them dare to laugh at our cute red dragons, this is simply unbearable!
However, although the few people in front of him were angry, they didn't say a word, and there were no other superfluous actions.
The Guards were strictly disciplined, and it was a felony for a soldier to act without an order from his superiors.
The military regulations of the Guards were full of murderous spirit, and more than half of the punishments in the more than 20 military regulations were the death penalty.
Among them, disobedience to orders in wartime is the most serious, and it can be killed on the spot without any trial.
Therefore, in the face of the laughter on the side of the Ming army, the guards did not react at all, and even Wang Danxu and the officers of the team did not react at all, especially those officers with excellent psychological quality did not change their faces, they just rigidly began to form the team in accordance with the training regulations.
Although the place where they met was selected by the Tang Dynasty in advance, although the place was not large, it was enough to accommodate hundreds of people to fight, and it was relatively flat, suitable for the guards to give full play to the advantages of the queue.
With the orders of the officers of each team one by one, the Guards, who were originally marching in three columns in a vertical formation, quickly trotted up, and in just a few minutes, a horizontal formation of three columns was formed!
In the middle is a spearman holding a spear, and on the two wings are musketeers and sword and shield soldiers, and Wang Danxu also turned over on his horse at this time, using the high line of sight obtained after riding a horse to command!
Looking at the half-sized men on the opposite side of the list of strange formations, the strong man Baihu on the opposite side finally did not continue to laugh wildly, although he did not have much knowledge, but he also saw that these half-sized children seemed to be a little strange.
And it seems that there are more people than themselves!
At this time, he also remembered that when he first set off, Mr. Wu told him that if he found the location of Huangzhu Mountain or encountered a large group of pseudo-Tang thief troops, he should not fight.
The implication is to let them run away if they are in danger!
And now, it seems, there is a little danger, so he did not hesitate to order: "Let's go!" ”
However, as soon as he wanted to leave, he found that figures had also appeared on the other three sides one after another, and it didn't take long for him to see a large number of people with swords and spears appearing around.
"Damn it!" At this time, the strong man Baihu didn't know that they had gotten into someone's ambush circle and were already completely surrounded!
"Head, what are we going to do?" was surrounded, which naturally made everyone's hearts extremely uneasy, and a small flag almost trembled and asked this.
Immediately, another person said: "Or do we descend?" ”
As soon as he heard this, the strong man Baihu drew his knife and slashed out, and with a simple and neat knife, he directly cut off the head of the soldier next to him who said he was going to surrender, and then said fiercely: "Cast a fart, these people are just bandits and outcasts, even if they surround us!" If there are those who disturb the morale of the army, there will be no forgiveness! ”
After shouting loudly again, he raised the long knife that was still bloody in his hand: "Array!" ”
The bloody long knife in the hands of the strong man Baihu was still held high, and his face stained with a little blood was full of hideousness:
"They thought they were right to surround us? But we are not those soft-footed shrimp-like guards and soldiers, we are paid recruits, we can fight ten guards alone, and now these bandits and outcasts have the audacity to surround us, they are killing themselves! ”
He glanced back at this time, and saw that more than sixty people behind him had finished the formation, and then looked around, there were extremely large number of bandits in the other three directions, south, east, north, west, and north, and he also saw more than twenty armor-clad sword and shield men slowly advancing.
Although he spoke arrogantly just now, he also knew military common sense, although the more than 60 of them also had sword and shield bearers, pikemen, archers or something, but there were only three or four people wearing armor, which could not be compared with the more than 20 armor-clad sword and shield bearers opposite
After all, although there were not many armor-clad sword and shield men on the opposite side, there were a lot of archers and spearmen, and when he looked around, he basically saw sixty or seventy archers lined up, ready to bend their bows and arrows.
If you break through in these three directions, there is not much hope!
Finally, he set his eyes on the group of half-sized men who were slowly walking forward in front of him, and these half-sized men were not very numerous, and he did not see any men in armor, much less a large number of archers, only a few men with strange-looking muskets.
The situation is urgent, and it is a great danger to have more than a minute and a second, if you continue to wait, let alone choose the direction to break through, it is estimated that you can be surrounded by people from all directions, so he did not hesitate for too long, and soon made a decision!
I saw his knife swinging in the direction of the guards, and then shouted: "Kill, if you don't want to die, kill with Lao Tzu!" ”
The soldiers under his command are also worthy of being salaried recruits, and they are not as weak as those serf-like soldiers, and after hearing the order of the strong man and the hundred households to charge, they all rushed towards the guards with various slogans!
Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others secretly said in their hearts that it was not good!
Even Li Xuan, who was watching the battle from the rear, showed a trace of worry on his face, and Liu Bagou beside him couldn't help but hold his breath.
Can these half-sized sons of the Guards be able to stop the counter-charge of these Ming troops?

And among these chargers, I hope there is you!
