Liu Renyu showed Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other Liaodong cadres to the glass mirrors and soap and other things unique to Jingbian Fort, and then ordered all the officers and soldiers under his command to come to the camp outside the camp and line up first.

The officers and soldiers of Jingbian Fort lined up in the order of the fire guns, the sword and shield soldiers behind the fire guns, the pikemen behind the sword and shield soldiers, the archers behind the pikemen, and the artillery behind the archers.

During the whole process of the army formation, the officers of the Jingbian Fort Army commanded steadily, the soldiers were busy but not chaotic, and only the sound of officers' orders, the crashing of soldiers and the chaotic footsteps were heard on the field, but other than that, no one made a noise.

The military formation was lined up in an instant, and then the entire Jingbian Fort army was safe and quiet, even the horses did not neigh much, the whole army was solemn and terrible, and there was a murderous air overflowing faintly.

When Liu Renyu was arranging the military formation under his subordinates, he peeked at the reactions of the generals in Liaodong from time to time, and he found that the surprise on the faces of the generals of Liaodong had never disappeared since the appearance of his subordinates, and some of the generals in Liaodong had even opened their mouths slightly, obviously in disbelief.

There are more than 3,000 people, but the military formation can be arranged within 5 minutes, this kind of efficiency, is really amazing, Liaodong Army is naturally a little surprised.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.

To judge whether an army is a strong army, one should look at whether the soldiers are young and strong, the second should be based on equipment, the third should be based on training, and the fourth should be based on the implementation of military orders.

In the eyes of the generals of the Liaodong Army, the Jingbianbao Army was not like the ordinary Western Army, most of the soldiers were old and weak, most of the weapons in their hands were rotten, the soldiers had very few drills, and there were only a few people with combat strength.

The Jingbian Fort Army in front of them, as far as the eye can see, are all young and strong, full of spirit, first of all, the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army are good, stronger than the ordinary Western Army. Looking at the equipment again, it is summer, and the soldiers are not wearing cotton armor, but they are all wearing expensive mountain armor, and this armor looks very new, and the protection will definitely not be bad. Looking at the weapons again, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of Jingbian Fort seem to be well-maintained, and they are all sharp weapons to kill the enemy.

When the formation was in formation, the soldiers and horses of each unit reacted very quickly, and the orders were forbidden, and they knew at a glance that they were well-trained, and the Jingbian Fort army must have often used this formation when they were fighting, because the cooperation between the various arms was extremely skillful.

Seeing this, many Liaodong army generals have secretly given a thumbs up, and praised in their hearts: "No wonder the kid boasts, looking at the appearance of the Western Army, there is a strong army." ”

The corners of the Liaodong general's eyes were slightly moist when they were suddenly moved, and they secretly sighed in their hearts: "How many years have passed, the imperial court has finally sent a useful army to Liaodong, and our Liao army finally has a friendly army that can be relied on." ”

Liu Renyu saw all the reactions of Zu Dashou and other Liaodong generals, and he knew that these Liaodong generals must be quite shocked, so he was naturally a little proud in his heart.

It can shock the Liao army, the first strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to prove that the Jingbianbao army is definitely not bad.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Renyu warned himself to keep a low profile, and then tried his best to suppress his smugness, and asked Zu Dashou in a calm tone as much as possible: "Marshal, can the soldiers under the last general still be used?" ”

Zu Dashou was actually a little shocked in his heart, but he couldn't break the prestige of the Liaodong Army, so he nodded slightly and replied: "It's okay, it's not worse than our Liao Army." ”

What kind of person Liu Renyu is, as soon as he heard Zu Dashou's words, he had a plan in his heart, and he hurriedly said flatteringly: "The last general still remembers that in the past the Liaodong Army killed the old slave under the city of Ningyuan, and won the victory of Ningyuan, and then the slave chief Huang Taiji led the troops to attack, and under the city of Jinzhou, the Liaodong Army defeated Jiannu under the city of Ningyuan, and since then the reputation of the Liaodong Army has been known all over the world, and the soldiers under the last general have been praised by the commander, and they can be compared with the Liaodong Army, and the last general is very honored. Sons, thank you for your praise. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

The officers and men of the Jingbian Fort Army shouted loudly, and their voices were uniform, and the sound shook the whole world.

When Zu Dashou saw that Liu Renyu knew so much, he couldn't help but have a slight good impression of this young man in his heart, and other Liaodong generals also had a slight good impression of Liu Renyu.

After all, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn.

"General Liu, as far as this town knows, the imperial court has not paid the Western Army for two years, where did you get the money to raise soldiers? These thousands of mountain armor alone are worth a lot of money. Zu Dashou was puzzled.

"A pair of mountain armor! That's not all, my soldiers are all wearing three layers of heavy armor! Liu Renyu muttered in his heart for a while, but he felt that saying it like this seemed to be a bit of a show off of wealth, but he was afraid that it would attract envy, so he replied honestly: "Dashuai, the glass mirror and soap you just saw are the things where my Jingbian Fort is located, and I sell them in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, and the silver taels obtained will be used to raise the army." ”

"It seems that your customs are worth a lot of money, otherwise how can you raise such a strong army." Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"It's all helpless, the court can't release salary, and the last general wants to be motivated, so he has to raise his own salary, raise soldiers to fight for the court, earn a military merit while he is young, save a fortune, and return to the field after disarming, and his children and grandchildren will have a good thing to rely on." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"That's what I said, if there are a few more talents like General Liu in Daming, why would I be trapped in a mere Jiannu." Zu Dashou first sighed inexplicably for a while, and then replied: "That's it, don't talk about it, since General Liu has pulled out all his soldiers, let's play a little bit, let the town see, do you have real skills?" In addition, it is also good for us to open our eyes. ”

Liu Renyu also said that his subordinates were embroidered pillows, and they were useless, so he smiled slightly and said to the generals: "Sons, handsome Yaxing, you want to see our skills, don't hide them, show them to the handsome, and let the Liaodong Army, the strongest army in the world, point out and point out." ”

"Dare to ask the general, what kind of practice method should I use?" Li Jiye asked from afar.

"As usual, the musketeers shoot targets, the archers shoot targets, the cavalry, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers remove their armor and simulate actual combat naked, and the artillery waits first." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, General." Li Jiye received the order, so he passed the order on.

When the Jingbian Fort army received the order, they each returned to the barracks, changed into the equipment used in training, and came to the camp again to drill in pieces.

For a time, on the school field, I saw that the archers stood on the arrow target at the limit distance of 70 steps, and the archers each held a stone strong bow, almost everyone was full of the moon, and most of them could hit the arrow target at a distance of 70 steps.

Then, another soldier lays a railroad track on the newly dug trench, attaches an arrow target to a scooter with four pulleys, and then the soldiers drag the arrow target around in an 'S' shape in the trench.

The archers of Jingbian Fort stood at a distance of 50 paces and shot at such fast-moving arrow targets, and there were many hits.

When the generals of the Liaodong Army saw such a scene, they felt that this training method was quite novel, but secondly, they were shocked by the super archery skills of the archers of the Jingbianbao Army.

Zhang Tieniu, the chief general of the Jingbian Fort archers, couldn't help but be very proud when he saw the surprised eyes of the generals in Liaodong.

Another highly competitive Yang Desheng saw Zhang Tieniu's face exposed, and he was not to be outdone, leading his subordinates who were naked and covered in tendons and flesh with wooden sticks made of hardwood, divided into two groups, and fought each other.

A group of Liaodong generals didn't think it was surprising to see that the soldiers of Jingbianbao were so strong, but one of the generals of the Liaodong Army saw the dense scars on the soldiers' bodies, and they were puzzled, so they asked Liu Renyu: "General Liu, your men and horses are wearing heavy armor, and your enemy army is not very strong, why are the soldiers covered with scars." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, these are all the scars left by the soldiers who fought each other during the training of our department." Liu Renyu said lightly.

Hiss!

As soon as Liu Renyu said this, all the generals of the Liaodong Army were very surprised, and then they took a closer look and found that the Jingbianbao Army was engaged in training, and they were all fighting to the death very seriously, and the tricks were very spicy, and the fists were to the flesh, and the beatings were extremely tragic. Those who understand the situation know that this is an exercise, and those who do not know the situation also say that it is a battle between the two armies to the death.

Some soldiers were hit hard, and there were several red marks in an instant.

"General Liu, how can you train the soldiers like this, the soldiers are all robes, how can they let them fight to the death when they train, if there is a disagreement with each other, the future battle will not be united, and the army's morale will not be chaotic?" A Liaodong army general was puzzled.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime, the last general believes in this saying. Our army is in Shaanxi, there is no strong enemy army around, if you don't use this maneuver, when you get to Liaodong, you encounter Jiannu, how can you resist them. In addition, the end of this set of exercises, as well as incentives, the winner of the exercise will be rewarded, those who try their best but fail will also be rewarded, and those with many scars will be rewarded. The last general often told them that it is better to be beaten by your comrades during training than to be killed by the enemy during war, and that if you are hit during training, you will actually save your life. If the soldiers are not convinced, the last general can only do so. ”

When Liu Renyu said this, he took off his armor, body armor, and underwear, revealing his tendon flesh, and his own body was also scarred.

"The last general also practiced with the soldiers, and sometimes he was injured by the soldiers. The last general leads by example, how can the soldiers disobey? Liu Renyu said proudly.

"Crazy Liu."

A group of Liaodong generals secretly exclaimed in their hearts, and then their hearts became more and more steady, after all, there are friendly troops with such perverted training, and they are more sure to fight Jiannu.

"That's it, don't look at it. General Liu, this town already knows how powerful your people are, so let's take it. Don't let the soldiers get injured during training, keep a useful body, and use it when fighting slaves. Tell your officials to collect troops to talk to the town and the generals, we are friendly troops, we must get to know each other. Zu Dashou said.

"Yes, Marshal." When Liu Renyu got the order, he ordered his subordinates to gather the formation and come to meet Zu Dashou.

All the generals of Jingbian Fort came to Zu Dashou and greeted Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other Liaodong generals.

These Liaodong generals have seen the strength of the Jingbianbao army, but they don't dare to treat them as an ordinary Western army.

And the generals of the Jingbianbao army had been advised by Liu Renyu before, and they were also very respectful, and the Jingbianbao army and the Liao army were also in harmony.

After the previous generals of the Jingbianbao Army and the Liaodong Army got to know each other, Liu Renyu pleaded: "Marshal, the last general hopes to set up another camp and use it as a horn with our big army camp. ”

Such a trivial matter as setting up a camp is nothing, so Yizu Dashou nodded and said: "As long as General Liu is still in Daming, it will be done." ”

"Hehe, Dashuai is really funny. The last general thanked the marshal. Liu Renyu thanked.

"Your people have seen the town, there is a strong army, but building the city is a big deal after all, your reinforced concrete method, I haven't seen it in person, I don't know if it's unusable, so let's do it, General Liu can have cement, and take it for us to take a look, and see if this thing is usable, if it is really usable, the town immediately ordered to excavate the foundation and start building Dalinghe City." Zu Dashou said.

"The marshal's plan is very good, but the last general does not carry cement with him at the moment, and the cement needed to build the city is still stored in a business in Jinzhou City, and the last general has to send someone to get it." Liu Renyu replied.

"That's it, then General Liu will send someone to fetch cement, get cement, let's see what the cement is for?" Zu Dashou first replied to the previous sentence, and then said: "General Liu, the grain and grass needed in the army can be withdrawn from the grain officer, and tonight, this town will hold a banquet to entertain you guests from Shaanxi." ”

"Thank you, Dashuai, I will take the cement at the end and demonstrate its wonderful use, and it will not be too late to eat wine and dinner." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"Okay, it's up to you." After Zu Dashou finished speaking, he took a group of Liaodong generals back to the barracks.

Liu Renyu ordered his cavalry to escort more than 100 four-wheeled carriages that had unloaded their baggage, all of which were driven to the city of Jinzhou to haul reinforced concrete.
