Chapter 183: It's a sad story

The training of new soldiers was mainly based on military formations. After all, this is the strength of the Saigo Army. And in the spring war in the near future, it will definitely be a field battle with the Hu people. In the face of a large number of Hu light cavalry, the infantry army could only compete with a tight military formation. In this kind of big war of thousands or even tens of thousands, the military formation is the most important. Compared to the military formation, the individual skills seem insignificant.

In fact, the best way to deal with Hu cavalry is to use cavalry to restrain it. Although during this time, the Saigo cavalry expanded particularly rapidly, and it has exceeded 1,000 people. Among them, it also absorbed a lot of Han people from good families (those who do not meet the Xiao cavalry army, mainly because the equipment is not up to standard). The combat power can be described as a great increase. But if you are faced with more than 2,000 Hu people and thousands of scattered horsemen (estimated by the Zanhua Department based on the available intelligence). Although the Han Liangjiazi is not inferior to the Hu people in terms of martial arts or horsemanship, if you count the armor and weapons, the combat power is even higher than that of the Hu people. But the number of good families is too small, and they are not the main force of the Saigo cavalry. The immature Saigo cavalry was far from being the opponent of the Hu people's turquoise cavalry.

In order to deal with Hu Qi, Liu Ye could only use the traditional combination of dense infantry formations and strong bows and crossbows. This was the most common way of fighting against the northern nomads of the Central Plains Dynasty. Although this combat method is both offensive and defensive, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, the requirements for the formation type are extremely high. If a flaw is exposed, it is easy to be attacked by Hu Qi's key breakthrough, which will then cause a big rush. After all, Hu Cai's mobility was extremely strong, and they were able to quickly concentrate all their forces to assault a corner of the military formation, occupying the active advantage on the battlefield. This is perhaps the most uncomfortable part of the infantry when fighting with the cavalry. Infantry troops with tight formations and anti-cavalry equipment are not afraid to go head-to-head with cavalry (except for armor mounting, after all, this thing is used against infantry and has excellent results).

For the drill of the new army formation, Liu Ye was generally quite satisfied. Although he can't order unity like a military soldier, he can advance and retreat freely. But it was a small success. If you train for another month and a half, you may be able to go to the battlefield.

After observing the military formation drill of the new pawn, Liu Ye also held a martial arts competition in the new pawn. Most of the Han people in northern Shenzhou are brave and fierce and worship the strong. Martial arts competitions like this are especially popular in the military. As a reward for this successful exercise, Liu Ye specially held one.

After the martial arts match, Liu Ye also held a bonfire party. With some indescribable bad thoughts, Liu Ye also joined in. The new pawns were still a little restrained at first, but under the influence of Liu Ye, they gradually let go. The scene was harmonious. Unconsciously, the favorability of the simple pawns towards Liu Ye, the black-hearted lord, was rising. This kind of thing is actually very simple to master.

"Brother Zhou, where is your hometown?" Liu Ye, who was sitting in a corner of the venue, asked the strong man next to him. Like the other pawns, Liu Ye sat on the ground very down-to-earth. There is no special treatment. Invisibly, the distance between him and the new pawns around him has been narrowed, and it is no longer as far away as when he first arrived.

"Back to the Lord! My hometown is from Huaxian! The strong man surnamed Zhou replied. The strong man surnamed Zhou Mingfang was the first place in this martial arts competition, so Liu Ye gave him special treatment so that he could sit next to him. However, this strong man seems to be a little shy, and he is not as bold as he seems on the surface. Maybe it's also the reason why he sat next to Liu Ye.

"Huaxian?" "It's close!"

"That's right! What did you do before? Liu Ye continued to ask.

"Returning to the Lord......" Zhou Fang replied.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Ye.

"Don't be so restrained! Just treat me as an ordinary friend! Liu Ye said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhou Fang immediately stood up and said excitedly: "How can this work? How can such a person be worthy to be a friend of the Lord? ”

"Forget it!" Looking at the stubborn Zhou Fang, Liu Ye shook his head helplessly.

'Classes are everywhere! The level is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! ’

"It's okay! It's okay! Go ahead! Go on! Liu Ye said to the people around him. The over-the-top behavior of Zhou just now attracted the others around him.

"Sit down, too! Don't stand all the time. After the people around him returned to normal, Liu Ye smiled at Zhou Fang.

"Brother Zhou, are there any other people in your family?"

"There used to be, but now it's gone!" Zhou Fang said gloomily.

Liu Ye didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort! This must be another sin of Hu Fangfang. Among these new pawns present, how many of them could have no blood feud with the Hu people? Over the years, too many Han Chinese have been poisoned by the Hu people. This may be an important reason why Liu Ye was able to quickly gain the hearts of the military. Because he killed Hu people at night.

"That* is so damning! Regardless of the love between husband and wife for many years, he ran away directly with the wild man. If I join the Xixiang Army this time, I will definitely win fame and wealth, so let that * regret it! Zhou Fang seemed to remember the sad thing, and scolded angrily. Fell into a state of self-forgetfulness.

Liu Ye didn't say anything, sighed again, and then patted Zhou Fang's shoulder again to show comfort. It's a sad story.

"That's right! Brother Zhou. Why are you so afraid of the bright moon? Liu Ye asked curiously. When the little goblin sat next to him just now, Zhou Fang didn't even dare to take a breath of air. Although the new pawns are also quite afraid of the goblins, they are definitely not as exaggerated as Zhou Fang.

"Mingyue?" "Who is Mingyue?" "Back to the lord, I don't know this person!" Zhou Fang, who was a little puzzled, touched his big head, thought carefully for a while, and then said.

"It's the one who sat next to Benjun just now! The deputy commander of the white-robed guard, Su Qing. Liu Ye suddenly remembered that Zhou Fang didn't seem to know the little goblin's small characters, so he explained.

"Ahh

After hearing the name of the little goblin, Zhou Fang jumped up in fright. Like hearing a cat and a mouse. Zhou Fang's voice was very rough and loud. This time it alarmed more people.

"Everybody go on, don't bother me and wait!"

"Sit back and keep talking!" Liu Ye said with some frowns. After seeing Zhou Fang's expression, Liu Ye seemed to understand something. It must have been his own goblin that left some impression on him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a dignified nine-foot strong man to act like this as soon as he heard the name of the little goblin. What's more, this strong man is also the first place in the rookie martial arts competition.

After Zhou Fang found that Liu Ye was a little displeased, he immediately sat down honestly. began to tell his story, a sad one.

……

It turned out that Zhou Fang was overwhelmed with grief and anger after learning that his wife had run away with a wild man. Pick up your weapons and go after the dog man and woman. But Zhou Fang didn't know the way, and he lost it on the way. I happened to meet a team of Zhao people (Han Chinese) who came to defect to Liu Ye. From there, I learned the news that Liu Ye led the Xixiang Army to defeat the allied forces of the various tribes.

For the Hu people, Zhou Fang, who is a member of the Zhao people, has no good feelings. For Liu Ye, who can kill Hu Gou, Zhou Fang also admires it very much. After a bit of a struggle of thinking, homeless (everything in the house was swept away by the wife, it's a sad story!) Zhou Fang decided to vote for Liu Ye.

However, some clever Zhou Fang did not go to Xixiang immediately, but went into the mountains and forests. He planned to use his martial arts and the hunting experience he had accumulated over the years to hunt some fierce beasts as a meeting gift to Liu Ye. After all, in ancient times, especially before the Song Dynasty, rulers were very fond of brave men. Zhou Fang, who was very confident in his martial arts, planned to rely on these fierce beasts to gain Liu Ye's appreciation. Although it is not to rise to the top, at least you don't have to start with the big soldiers.

I have to say that this idea of Zhou Fang is correct! After all, in troubled times, warriors will be welcomed wherever they go.

But 'the idea is good, the reality is cruel'. At the beginning, Zhou Fang was quite smooth, relying on his martial arts and hunting wisdom. Zhou Fang actually hunted a tiger, although it was only a young tiger cub that had just reached adulthood. But it's also a very remarkable thing. Carrying this tiger, Zhou Fang walked into the corner.

I have to say that Zhou Fang's forced pretending is quite good. 'Carrying the tiger to join the army, what a warrior! If the plot continues to develop like this, Zhou Fang may really be summoned by Liu Ye. After all, Zhou Fang's move is too ostentatious, and it has reached the point where everyone knows it. Even if it is to show his love for talent, Liu Ye must meet each other.

However, Zhou Fang's luck ran out at this point. Having just stepped into the recruiting camp, he came across a certain leprechaun. At that time, the little goblin's relatives had not left, and his temper was unusually short-tempered. And Zhou Fang is so conspicuous and swaggering. Needless to say, the next scene happened. It's a sad story.

……

After listening to Zhou Fang's story, Liu Ye didn't say anything, and patted Zhou Fang's shoulder again to comfort him. I didn't expect this guy to be unlucky like this, and he is about to catch up with the male protagonist in the Rise of Waste Wood novel. It's a sad story.

……

In a corner of the bonfire, several new pawns gathered. They were a little strange compared to the other pawns around. Just silently bowed his head and drank wine and ate meat. There was no laughter or fighting.

"The 'White Wolf Silver King' has left, this is our chance, let's get started! Finally, to confirm, are you really ready? ”

"Ready!"

"Did that guy bring it?"

"Bring it, it's already medicated!"

"Do we really want to do it? Liu Yuanjun is the hero of our Zhao people! ”

"Idiot! Don't forget that our wives and children are still in the hands of Hu Gou! It's a big deal that after completing the task, we will apologize for our crimes! ”

"That's it!"

"Immediately according to the original plan. Remember! We only get one chance! If we wait for the 'White Wolf Silver King' to come back, we will be completely out of action! Also, if the operation fails, don't talk about the rest. For the safety of your wife and children, you know what to do! ”

"No!"
