"Oh, yes...... Is it......" Yang Mu was embarrassed, it seemed that it was true, the soldiers of Cangguo used spears, and only a few officers had a short blade on their bodies.

The reason why this situation occurs is actually for a reason, because Cangguo does not have a vein, and iron ore or something is secretly purchased from Shenguo by merchants and then smelted.

The spear has the lowest amount of metal among long-handled weapons, and it is easy to produce, so in order to maximize the offensive and defensive power, ordinary soldiers use spears, and only brave officers such as chiefs and centurions are equipped with hand-to-hand combat weapons such as short blades.

"Your Majesty's song seems to be good, it sounds catchy, if only the big knife was changed into a spear." Wei Zhongquan pondered for a while, and suddenly said.

"A spear stabbed in the head of a bandit? Why do you always feel that something is not quite right......" Yang Mu thought for a moment and said.

"The minister thinks it is feasible......"

So, the first military song of Cangguo was set in this way, first handed over to the four hundred new soldiers with strong adaptability to learn, and then dispersed to each hundred team to sing, about half an afternoon's effort, the entire team of five thousand people, basically every soldier can hum a few words, and the more he hums, the more energetic, the blood is boiling, as if he is in the battlefield of suppressing bandits to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, extremely noble and great.

The team of five thousand people does not sound very large, but Yang Mu compares it with the university military training in his memory, and the playground of two or three thousand people can have the effect of a sea of people, and such a march of five thousand people is like a long dragon, and there is no end in sight.

During the break, several hundred-person teams who were close to each other also started singing, louder than the other, with a magnificent momentum, covering one wave after another, which made people look sideways.

Wei Zhongquan was simply stunned, he has been a general for more than 20 years, every time before leading the troops to fight, he can feel the depression and nervousness of the soldiers, and even a strong war-weariness, but today is different, because of a song, ignited the passion of the entire expeditionary team, the original dull and boring march was full of songs and laughter, and the soldiers spoke proudly, and there was a momentum that would not stop the bandits.

Moreover, he can also feel the changes in the various hundred-person teams, because of the unity, the cohesion of the entire team seems to have risen a notch!

Elite Division!

Wei Zhongquan's heart was fluttering, he was familiar with the art of war, of course, he had an inextricable superstition about the elite division that was respected in the military books, he always thought that the regular army could be called the elite, but compared with the army in front of him, it was like a peasant soldier.

The team in front of you may still have a certain gap with the legendary elite division, but as long as you train a little more, strengthen this spirit, and enhance your combat ability, over time, you will definitely become a hundred victories that will terrify the enemy!

Shocked, Wei Zhongquan couldn't help but think, a song, really has this effect?

What's going on?

Your Majesty, it's too godly!

And the kind of new practice method proposed some time ago, does it also have such an effect? On this day, the performance of the 400 new soldiers was obvious to all, acting like the wind, serious and serious, orders and prohibitions, I can't say what is different, but I feel that there is a clear difference from other soldiers, which can make people's eyes shine, and in the vast crowd, they can distinguish their identities at a glance.

For the first time, he was in a trance, feeling that he might be wrong, maybe the new drill method was a real way to strengthen the army.

"The spear is stabbed in the head of the bandits, the compatriots who are suffering all over the country, the day of the bandits has come, the day of the bandits has come!" Unconsciously, Wei Zhongquan also hummed along with the song in the distance, as if there was some magic, and he felt more and more tasteful.

Yang Mu didn't expect that a military song would have such a great power, in the final analysis, it may be because it is too fresh, many ordinary people have only heard a few rough agricultural songs in their lives, so they are very interested in this new style of singing and melody, and the lyrics contain the spirit of striving for upward and impassionedness, which is very suitable for the situation, so it has become popular in the entire army at once.

"Pass the order, the three hundred-person teams that worked hardest just now will each be rewarded with ten points!" Yang Mu said to the herald beside him.

"Yes!"

Several heralds were taken aback, and at the same time there was a look of envy, since the promulgation of the meritorious lord system, a point system has been implemented in the civilian ranks, and different points can be obtained through large and small meritorious deeds.

For example, if you earn 200 points, you can be promoted to a two-star civilian; 400 points, you can be promoted to a three-star civilian; 600 points, four-star civilian; 800 points, five-star civilian; 1,000 points, you can be awarded the title of earl and jump into the aristocratic class.

In the meritorious lord system, you can get 100 points for beheading an ordinary soldier, and the higher the identity of the decapitated enemy, the more points you have, and if you behead a thousand generals on the battlefield, you can directly get 400 points!

Every time you are promoted, you will get the corresponding silver money and slaves, as well as the right to use basic farmland and tax exemptions, and even legal and political preferential treatment.

Yang Mu's order is equivalent to directly sending out dozens of heads, although it is not much evenly distributed to each person, but it adds up to a lot, and no one will be too little, because there has been no war since the promulgation of the meritorious lord system, so no one has ever obtained points, so this reward has a special significance.

Sure enough, as soon as this order was delivered, the entire army was boiling.

Can you earn points for singing loudly?

This is a great opportunity!

The soldiers were simply crazy, and they all looked at several hundred-man teams with envious eyes, and then their hearts all swelled up with a sense of not admitting defeat and eager to try.

After all, there are strict regulations in military regulations, even if it is a general, if there is no will of His Majesty the Emperor, he cannot award points without authorization, and now that His Majesty the Emperor has opened a precedent, he must grasp it well.

So, in the long marching procession, a loud battle song sounded again, and the soldiers were enthusiastic, no matter whether they could get points or not, as long as they could make His Majesty the Great Emperor happy, they would sing it even if they shouted it through their throats!

Yang Mu once again felt what it means to be obedient to the army's heart, it is unimaginable, without spending a penny, casually giving a little points will push the entire army's heart to another climax, just like a game developer, if you modify a value at will, you will get a lot of money!

Points are a different kind of silver, and they are more rare than silver!

In the distance, a group of scouts rode up.

"Report! Report to Your Majesty, three miles ahead is Taoyuan County, Taoyuan County Commander is already organizing the people in the city, tidying up the houses, holding a banquet, and preparing to welcome His Majesty and the king. ”

"Greeting?" Yang Mu frowned, and then said lightly: "You immediately go and tell the Taoyuan County Commander that the army is stationed outside the city tonight, and tell him not to disturb the people, and bring some people who are familiar with the terrain to come over to see me." ”
