"The most important thing for an army is combat effectiveness, and only an army with combat effectiveness can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities and survive by stepping on the enemy's corpse on the battlefield on the front line of life and death. You are all veterans of the battlefield, and I have no doubt about your combat prowess. ”

The soldiers under the school stage are all proudly holding their heads high, and veteran is indeed a title to be proud of.

Only those who understand the cruelty of the battlefield know how difficult it is to be a veteran. Only those who have commanded the army know how important the power of veterans is on the battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that a veteran can be at least ten recruits on the battlefield.

"But what I'm trying to say is: if you're content with the status quo, you're likely to be the next to die. Don't think that if the Tang Dynasty rules the world, you will be able to live a peaceful life without worry. The Turks, the generational enemies of our Chinese people, covet and peep at our homeland all the time, and you should have heard of their powerful ferocity. Sooner or later, we will confront them, and it will not only be us who will be defeated, but even the families behind us will be slaughtered. ”

When Luo Tong said this, many of the soldiers had red eyes, and the sadness was on their faces.

The reason why Luo Tong provoked the Turks was because most of Li Tang's soldiers were born in Jinyang, Taiyuan, Guanzhong and Western Qin, and these places were all involved in the Turkic army except for Guanzhong, and they were harassed by the Turks all the year round, and the local people had a deep blood hatred against the Turks.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "It's better for the Turkic dog to come, Lao Tzu is just avenging my brother." ”

After he shouted, the school stage was bustling, and they were filled with the same hatred and hatred.

Luo Tong said in a loud voice: "The Turks are very strong, this must be admitted." To defeat them, you have to become stronger. I'm going to put you through rigorous training to make you stronger. Only if you are stronger, can you make your family live a better life, let your children and grandchildren be proud of you, and not let your family cry bitterly at your corpse. ”

"War is cruel, before the 10,000 foot soldiers, the only one who can walk back from the battlefield may be 3,000 or even 2,000, and the rest may be buried in the yellow sand, or may be thrown into the wilderness. As a commander-in-chief, in addition to winning battles, he also has to bring his compatriots out and bring them back. I may never be the commander-in-chief, but, as your commander-in-chief, as the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty, my task is to train you stronger and teach you more survival skills! ”

"For us soldiers, there is no shortcut to combat effectiveness, my aim is: sweat more in peacetime, less blood on the battlefield, more blood in peacetime, no blood on the battlefield."

"I am now your commander, although they call me a general, but when we really go to the battlefield, we are brothers in life and death who can block each other's arrows. Maybe the training methods in the future will be impersonal and inhumane, but the ultimate goal of my Luo Tong is just to let you survive on the battlefield, that's all! ”

Luo Tong said these words in front of the whole army, and these iron-blooded men were all moved. After the ideological work was done, Luo Tong divided the three thousand soldiers: the physical fitness of the people has their own strengths and weaknesses, some have outstanding riding skills, some have outstanding endurance, some have outstanding explosive power, some have outstanding arm strength, and some have outstanding eyesight.

Yesterday, Luo Tong asked Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to classify these when they were selected: needless to say, those with outstanding riding skills are the inevitable candidates for cavalry; Outstanding strength is suitable for being a strange knife hand; Those with outstanding explosiveness are suitable for being a striker, and those with outstanding eyesight are naturally archers.

It is not unreasonable that Li Shimin and the others still can't see through the value of the Mo Dao, it is true that the Mo Dao team does have devastating power, but it has a congenital disadvantage and poor mobility. Mo knife soldiers must hold a Mo knife of fifty catties and wear heavy armor, and the mobility can be imagined.

The enemy is not a bunch of idiots, and they rush up at the sight of such a fierce array of knives. You must know that the army of the nomads is not only good at riding, but their archery skills are also excellent, and they can put the lower half of the sword in the lower body without flying a kite. If this problem is not solved, it is an empty word to deal with the Turkic cavalry with a Mo sword.

In fact, the Mo knife team is not a personal Mo knife, its real strength lies in the perfect combination of crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, knife soldiers, cavalry, and Mo knife soldiers.

Luo Tong is an enthusiast of ancient weapons in later generations, and he has an in-depth understanding of Mo Dao, and he just knows the basic tactics of Mo Dao: with knowledge, and Luo Tong's actual combat experience, he has been learning the foundation of military formations and military theories in the past eight years.

The only pity is that Li Jing is far away in Lingzhou, otherwise it would be better to discuss with him and let Li Jing, the founder of this formation, give some guidance.

After the division of troops was completed, Luo Tong announced the personnel appointments in public.

According to the military establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Zhonglang will be in charge of 3,000 soldiers, and the division of labor at all levels will include one general on the left and right, one soldier Cao will participate in the military, 30 brigade commanders, 60 team leaders, 60 deputy team members, and 300 fire commanders...... 300 people are regiments, with one lieutenant, and each regiment has two brigades; 100 people are brigades, and there is one brigade commander; Each brigade has two teams, 50 people, and one team; Each team has jurisdiction over five fires, ten people are fires, and one fire chief is one.

Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chuliang are the left and right generals, and Yaochi and Almaty are the captains!

Grass-roots military attachés, such as brigade commanders, team commanders, deputy team leaders, and fire commanders, were selected from among the officers and men, and in less than half a day, they were all selected through the recommendation of colleagues, self-recommendation, and competition.

In just one day, the backbone branches and leaves of the "Modao Army" were established, and because the grassroots military attachés were all strong men selected by the soldiers themselves, there was no dissent or disorder in the whole process.

The swiftness of Luo Tong's speed, the sophistication of his means, and the steadiness of his handover made Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, who had been secretly observing, amazed, and the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.

In response to the creation of the "Modao Army", Luo Tong convened a military meeting, in which all the officials above the deputy team participated, and it was not so much a meeting as an order.

Luo Tong trained his soldiers into a Modao army, and he didn't give a cadre of generals a chance to discuss at all.

Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Yao Chi, and Almaty were convinced by Luo Tong; A grassroots official has just been promoted from the ranks of ordinary soldiers, and has not yet formed his own thoughts, so he is naturally obedient to Luo Tong!

"Qin Huaiyu, your task is the heaviest, a thousand Mo swordsmen will be the main force for us to defeat the enemy in the future, and we must not be sloppy." Luo Tong's first appointment was Qin Huaiyu, who was second only to himself in terms of strength and comprehensive strength, and after many years of getting along, Luo Tong saw Qin Huaiyu's strengths very thoroughly. He has excellent strength, solid basic skills, not weak explosiveness, and a calm and calm temperament, which is the most suitable role for being a strange knife in front of himself; Of course, his strength is still cavalry, but there is no one to act as a Mo sword general, so it can only be arranged in this way.

"The end will definitely live up to high expectations!" Qin Huaiyu sat down very steadily.

"Cheng Chuliang, the broken barracks will be handed over to you, believe in yourself, you have that ability!" Compared with Qin Huaiyu's calmness, Cheng Chuliang is enthusiastic and generous, it is easy to get along with the soldiers, and the soldiers serve him, and his martial arts are also good, and he is the best commander of the assault in the army.

Cheng Chuliang jumped up excitedly and said: "Don't worry, general, Cheng Chuliang will do a good job, just wait to see my results." ”

"Yaochi, for the Mo Dao Army, the bow and crossbow battalion is second only to the Mo Dao Battalion, with a great responsibility and a great mission, tomorrow, bring your guards in and let them be your assistants."

"Yaochi will definitely not disappoint the general!" Princess Yaochi happily received the order.

"Almaty, your main task is to select thirty to fifty of the best archers from the army and form a sniper battalion to hunt the enemy's commander. In addition, assist Yao Chi in teaching archery! ”

"Yes!" Almaty was out of the ranks.

The rest of the pikemen and knives also arranged their own leaders, so that they mainly trained the strengths of each class, and did not care about the weaknesses or cover up the shortcomings.

As for the cavalry, naturally, it was personally trained by Luo Tong himself.

A change that affected the battle situation of the Tang Dynasty unfolded silently here.
