Chapter 0261: Second General
Yang Yanding was fooled by Yang Yansi, and finally embarked on the road to Miza City.
Regarding the question of whether to hand it over to the imperial court after the Jiaozhi was laid, Yang Yansi has always avoided answering.
Yang Yansi couldn't tell Yang Yanding the truth, so when talking about this topic, he talked about him left and right. Always try to avoid this topic.
Yang Yanding guessed some clues from Yang Yansi's reaction.
But he wasn't sure, so he didn't agree on the spot, helping Yang Yansi lay a hand, but just promised to take a look.
Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua, under the leadership of Liangyue, crossed the mountain and arrived at the territory of Jiaozhi.
After arriving in the territory of Jiaozhi, Zhao Di took them to visit Miza City.
I don't know what the purpose of Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua was, after the two of them arrived in Jiaozhi, they actually put on masks.
Two strangely shaped masks.
On the way to the city of Miza, the woman who was working in the fields and the man she had picked up saw two masked men wandering around the field.
Zhao Di had been following behind them, and when he saw that Yang Yanding was interested in the paddy fields of Jiaozhi, he stepped forward to explain.
"Second General, this is the paddy field of Cochin. The rice of Cochin is harvested three times a year, and this paddy field has contributed a lot. ”
Yang Yanding did not allow Yang Yansi's subordinates to call him by his surname and first name, and he couldn't think of other code names for a while. simply let people call themselves the second general.
Yang Yanding grabbed the green seedlings in the paddy field, a little stunned, "The rice in the paddy field can be harvested three times a year?" ”
I glanced up at the green fields.
Yang Yanding asked, "Doesn't that mean that the people here are not worried about the problem of not having enough food to eat?" ”
Zhao Di nodded, "This is natural." In addition to keeping enough for themselves, the grain farmers were able to hand over millions of quintals of grain to the city of Miza every time the grain was ripe. ”
"A million quintals, supplying 20,000 soldiers, is indeed more than enough."
Yang Yanding doesn't know about farming, but he also knows what it means to have rice that crops three times a year.
Yang Yanding followed Zhao Di, observing the rice fields along the way, and was frequently amazed.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of Miza.
Zhao Di asked, "The second general will enter the city to rest first, or will he go to the barracks first?" ”
Yang Yanding hesitated, "Let's take a look at the barracks first." I want to know what the combat strength of the 20,000 soldiers in Miza City is. ”
Zhao Di took Yang Yanding to the front of a large camp outside the city.
From afar, you can hear the earth-shattering shouts of the camp.
"This voice is full of neutrality, and the military heart can be used."
Yang Yan nodded his head in admiration.
When the three of them reached the gate of the camp, they were stopped.
"The barracks are heavy, stop."
Two slang people, who have not been learning Chinese for a long time, are stumbling in their speech.
Zhao Di took out an iron plaque from his bosom, on which was engraved a scarecrow tied to a cross.
The guards guarding the gate let them go.
Zhao Di took Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua into the camp.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a group of soldiers in armor and holding long knives, and under the spur of the leaders, they came head-on.
In front of them, there was a deep pit, and in the pit there was a big smelly dung.
"Boom~"
The soldiers marched in orderly steps.
"Puff~"
A soldier fell into the pit, but the soldiers behind still had no intention of stopping, and still moved forward.
The soldiers in the pit got up, continued to wade through the dung, and continued to walk.
"It's ......"
Yang Yanding was a little stunned, turned his head and asked Zhao Di, "Are the sect leaders blind?" Can't see a big pit ahead? ”
Zhao Di explained: "The leaders are not blind, the soldiers carry out military orders, not to mention that there is a dung pit in front, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, without an order, they must move forward." ”
"Military law is so harsh? Who made it? ”
Zhao Di said with a smile: "All the training plans in the camp are set by the young master. ”
Yang Yanding nodded and didn't say much.
Then follow Zhao Di to continue watching in the barracks.
There are many training programs in the camp, and many things have not been seen by Yang Yanding before.
At first glance, it is a bit of a nonsense, like a child's toy.
After watching it carefully and thinking about it for a while, Yang Yanding understood the intention.
Yang Yanding was in the camp, and what he saw the most was the queue marching.
Rows and rows in the camp, neatly arranged in a row.
Yang Yanding had never seen it, even the guards in the imperial city couldn't stand in such a strict queue.
"In terms of military appearance, it was rare at that time. I just don't know how powerful it is. ”
The Great Song Dynasty and even the surrounding areas of the Great Song Dynasty, large and small armies, Yang Yanding has seen them.
It's the first time he's seen the queue so meticulously.
He was curious about how much combat power these soldiers who had spent their time in the queue had.
"Second General, please come here."
In the corner of the camp, in an open space, there were two teams of 100 soldiers and horses drilling.
One of the teams, playing the role of cavalry, and the other team, marching forward in a military formation.
"Kill!"
The leader of the cavalry was a burly man, holding a nine-ring broadsword, shouting, leading his cavalry, and rushing over.
"A hundred horsemen against a hundred paces, the cavalry will win."
With the same number of soldiers fighting against each other, the cavalry has an absolute advantage.
The infantry was still moving forward, and when the cavalry approached, they roared.
"Shield!"
The infantry raised their shields and crouched on the ground.
Up and down, left and right, all four sides were tightly wrapped in shields.
From the gaps in the shield, spears were frequently pierced.
The entire infantry phalanx suddenly turned into a big hedgehog.
The cavalry swept by, and the long knives slashed at the shields with a thumping sound.
Sparks fly.
"Enter!"
The infantrymen rode their shields and marched all the way.
The cavalry surrounded the infantry, and attacked several times, but they did not ask for benefits.
"Crossbow!"
In the blink of an eye, various arrows shot out from the gap in the shield.
None of these arrows are real arrows, and the arrows are made of dye.
Cavalrymen dyed with dye automatically withdraw from the battle.
The two sides strangled each other, and you came and went, which lasted for an hour.
When the last cavalryman was pierced by ten thousand arrows, the whole battle ended with the victory of the infantry.
Yang Yanding watched the battle and frowned frequently.
"This group of infantry is good, and the cavalry is a little too unsatisfactory."
"It's a pity that they are equipped with good horses and good knives."
In Yang Yanding's eyes, although the infantry cooperated in a disciplined manner, it was also full of loopholes.
If he led the troops, it would only take a stick of incense to take down this group of hedgehog-like infantry.
Yang Yan must have seen it.
The soldiers trained by Yang Yansi are indeed rare elites, and their military laws are strict, and none of the armies he has seen can compare with them.
It's a pity that there are elite soldiers in hand, but there are no good generals.
Presumably, this is also the reason why Yang Yansi invited him here.
Zhao Di smiled indifferently, "Second General, do you want to go up and try it." ”
