In the blink of an eye, the Conquest Army has been established for more than a month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

April was the season when Fangfei was falling and the trees were shady, and after arranging all aspects of government affairs, Zhang Jun plunged into the barracks and personally supervised the training of various armies.

In fact, it is better to say that it is a supervisor, than to say that it is a stealing teacher.

After a long period of secession and chaos since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the army's training, tactics, and tactics have entered the heyday of perfection. Therefore, Zhang Jun did not have anything to teach the ancients, except for the basic principles such as lining up, walking in unison, and turning around, he also had to learn from these ancients.

After all, the training of the army is to adapt to war and weapons, and if the current soldiers are allowed to practice the skirmish, they will definitely lose badly. Because at this time, both sides of the war have to fight in formation, and the stragglers mean a plate of scattered sand. Only by aggregating the infantry to form a well-organized shape can the enemy be effectively killed and injured without being scattered by the cavalry.

The queue exercise in modern military training is just right for this requirement of the ancient military formation. In other armies of the same era, it was very dangerous to move the formation when the two sides faced each other, because if there was only one link that went wrong, it could lead to confusion and give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the movement of the military formation is to stop after five or six steps forward, and then adjust under the orders of officers at all levels, and wait until it is neat, and then move forward five or six steps. It's a lot of trouble to go over and over again.

But with the practice methods of modern queues, the Tiger Jie army has far surpassed other armies of its time. At least in the rapid assembly and movement of the military formation, it is enough to make others look at it.

"One-two-one, one-two-one······"

"One······ 2······ Three······ Four ······"

"One, two, three, four!"

"Stand! Turn left······ Turn right······ Two pillars, you turned the wrong one again! ”

A neat slogan sounded in Zhang Jun's ears, and he stood on the general's platform with a smile on his face, taking in the whole army. This loud and powerful slogan seemed to bring it back to the military training ground of the later generations, and if it weren't for the fact that the soldier was still wearing armor, he would really mistakenly think that he had traveled back.

At this time, Han Hu walked over with a smug face, clasped his hands and fists, and said: "Governor, within a month, the Hujie army can become a strong army!" ”

Zhang Jun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions now." He turned his head to Han Hu, who was not convinced, and said: "Chengzan, no matter how neat the military formation is, if you see the enemy and scatter in a hurry, what is the use?" ”

"They dare!" Han Hu said angrily: "The Metropolitan Governor uses dry food to feed the soldiers every day, and there is meat to eat every once in a while, and there is no such treatment in China." How could they not die desperately? The Metropolitan Governor can rest assured, if there is really someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and escapes from the battle, I will personally behead him! ”

Zhang Jun had an unknowable expression, he said: "We still have to start from military discipline and training, the Hujie Left Battalion is the main foot of our conquest army, and it will definitely face the cavalry of Hulu in the future, so we must cooperate with the cavalry of the Longxiang army and engage in adaptive training." Let the soldiers feel what it is like to meet the cavalry charge head-on. ”

Han Hu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "The governor's plan is very good, I'll go to Wang Meng's house." ”

Zhang Jun wanted to say something more, but this guy didn't care about it at all, so he ran off the stage and stepped on the war horse and ran to the station of the Long Xiang army.

The training of the Long Xiang army at this time was more boring, and the knights were either practicing equestrianism or riding archery. Most of the men in the West Land can ride horses, but their riding and archery skills are far behind. Therefore, Wang Meng's main job is to teach his corpories, cavalry, archery and horse combat.

Zhang Jun put his hand on the pergola, looked at it from a distance, and saw the smoke and dust in the station of the Long Xiang army. Since the horseshoe was introduced, the cavalry did not need to cherish the horsepower as before, and could finally run freely.

Zhang Jun was not sure about the arrangement of the cavalry, so he was left to Wang Meng to be fully responsible. It was only in terms of tactics, tactics, and the use of weapons that he had instructed the superintendent to step up the production of new weapons.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, heavy armored cavalry has gradually become popular. The men and horses are all heavily armoured, and they are invincible when they charge. But the weapons were still spears, bows, and knives with ring-handled handles. Zhang Jun found that it was difficult for the traditional cavalry equipment to directly break through the heavily armed infantry formation, and even the heavy cavalry had to pay a great price. Therefore, he wanted to make some changes in the selection of weapons to minimize the damage to the Long Xiang army under his command.

The first is to replace the spear with a light throwing spear, and in today's battles, cavalry duels often have only one turn, and that is to use the power of the charge to stab the spear into the opponent's body. But this is a completely desperate fight, so Zhang Jun plans to replace the spear with a short spear that can be thrown, and attack first from a long distance.

When it comes to long-range strikes, the bow is the weapon. But it takes three to five years to train an archer who can ride and shoot, and even then, it can't compete with the Hulu who grew up on horseback. So simply change the bow to a crossbow, simple and brainless, which is more suitable for the Liang army.

Finally, there is the choice of saber. At this point, Zhang Jun is still considering, which dynasty's saber is more suitable to replace the ring head knife······

At this time, Hu Shuo, who was guarding the side, suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhang Jun's thoughts. I saw him scratch the door of his brain, and said angrily: "Lord, our Hujie Right Battalion is not raised by our stepmother, why don't we participate in queue training?" ”

"Haha!" Zhang Jun laughed, although this Hu Shuo is a Hu native of the Western Regions, he is extremely loyal to himself. Not only has he risked his life to save him in the enemy camp many times, but he has also been responsible for his guard work, which can be said to be closer than Zhou Tong, who was born in the trilogy.

Seeing that his size was close to two meters, his tower-like body was covered with a special bright light armor made by the general as a supervisor, like a god general.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "In addition to being responsible for my guards, your right battalion also has to protect other generals. Chen joined the army and set up the army planning and guard division, and the two of you must cooperate more. ”

"Cooperate!" Hu Shuo shouted: "How dare I not cooperate, the ordnance, logistics, and promotion are all in the hands of that old man, and he will give it to whoever he wants." Now half of the people in our right camp have been pulled away by him, it's too bullying! ”

"Governor, look at ······" As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the subordinates who were practicing on the killing field, and said, "Just order people, it's too imposing!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Jun laughed and coaxed: "You fool, swallow your heart in your stomach, the governor of Pontus promises that your right battalion is definitely the most majestic in the whole army!" ”

"Really?" Hu Shuo said excitedly: "Then I thank the lord." ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Jun remembered another annoying thing.

Originally, according to his expectations, in addition to half of the men and horses in charge of the defense work in the right battalion of the Hujie Army, the remaining soldiers were going to become a heavy infantry under the leadership of Hu Shuo.

The slap knife is a long-handled broadsword in the Tang Dynasty of China, about one zhang long. According to the "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Kan Ling": "(Leng) make good use of the big knife, one zhang long, and apply two blades, which is called the slap blade." In each move, several people were killed, and there was no one who did it before. ”

At the same time, in the "New Tang Book". "Slap blade" as "slap knife". Therefore, many later generations speculated that this so-called slapping knife was the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, according to the record of the Song Dynasty's "Wujing General Essentials", the infantry team at that time was also 50 people, equipped with five Mo knives, four slap knives and other weapons. The slap knife and the Mo knife are equipped separately, which shows that the two are not the same.

In fact, it is not to blame the descendants for not being able to figure out the difference between the Mo knife and the slap knife, because neither of them is allowed to accompany the burial, so there are very few unearthed cultural relics, which is naturally easy to cause misunderstanding. Speaking of which, the Mo knife and the slap knife are very similar, and the slap knife can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Mo knife. Specifically, the advantage of the slap knife is that the blade is wider and thicker, and the blade has a curve, which is conducive to chopping. The word "pat" in its name shows its efficacy.

But the problem now is that the requirements for steel are extremely high, and although the general supervisor is stepping up the refining of refined steel, the output is still too low, and it does not have the ability to fully equip the troops. Therefore, Zhang Jun planned to produce a part of it and build the right battalion of the Hujie Army led by Hu Shuo into a sharp knife army.

He was thinking about things in his head, but his eyes were caught by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. I saw that the fence separating the Longxiang army and the Hujie army suddenly opened, and about a thousand cavalry troops rode straight to the infantry army.

"This kid!" Zhang Jun smiled, and said in his heart that Han Hu would always be an impatient person who jumped out, and he actually teamed up with Wang Meng to suddenly test his own subordinates.

I saw that the foot soldiers who were originally in the practice queue were defenseless, and when they saw the "thousands of troops" rushing, there was a commotion. Even though the captains at all levels tried their best to rectify the situation, they still could not restrain the wavering of the military formation. Finally, just as the cavalry rushed thirty paces away, the foot soldiers shouted first, and immediately everyone ran away.

The cavalry didn't really crash into the crowd, but gorgeously split into two teams, drawing a perfect arc and retreating from the middle. The foot soldiers of the left battalion of the Hujie army ran not far away and found that the situation was wrong, and when they realized that it was the cavalry who was playing with them, they immediately jumped to their feet and cursed.

Han Hu's face was gloomy and about to drip water, he arched his hand towards Wang Meng as a thank you, and said in a deep voice: "General Wang, the governor of the capital has an order, and I hope that your army will cooperate more in the future, so that this group of rabbit cubs behind me can adapt to the cavalry charging battle." ”

Wang Meng smiled on his face and returned the salute: "It's easy to say." General Han was not in a hurry, and the training of troops must always be carried out step by step. ”

After a while, Han Hu returned to the general stage to plead guilty, but Zhang Jun did not blame him: "Being able to flee for their lives thirty steps away shows that these foot soldiers are very courageous, take your time, it is natural to be afraid of death, to overcome fear, the first thing is to adapt to fear." ”

Vaguely lowered his head and said, "No! ”

Zhang Jun said: "The current weapons are only used for training, and it won't be long before both the Longxiang Army and the Hujie Army will have to accept new weapons." ”

"New weapons?" Vaguely surprised, he asked, "But there is something new in the prison?" ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Train the soldiers first, and you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

·············································································

Since he made a promise to the generals in the army, Zhang Jun naturally wanted to fulfill it. In the afternoon, he took Chen Zhen, who joined the army, and the commanders of the three armies, Long Xiang, Hujie, and Konghe, to the general for monitoring and inspection.

At this time, the scale of the general prison was already very large, and it was no longer a simple mansion that could be accommodated, but was divided into more than a dozen independent departments, which were led by different craftsmen.

At a river bend three miles west of Lingju County, Zhang Jun came with a group of generals and a large number of guards, but was stopped by the military commander on duty at a long distance. Hu Shuo was furious and was about to step forward to teach this blind lieutenant a lesson, but was stopped by Zhang Jun in time.

I saw Zhang Jun smile with satisfaction, and said to the captain who was blocking the road: "I am the Metropolitan Governor Zhang Jun, don't you recognize me?" ”

The lieutenant hugged his fists and said: "The humble position is naturally to recognize the Metropolitan Governor, but the craftsman has made three orders to ask for three precepts, saying that the Metropolitan Governor has personally ordered that outsiders will not be allowed to enter without a review token." Don't dare to disobey! ”

"Well done!" Zhang Jun praised and threw out a token.

The lieutenant hurriedly took it, and after verifying that it was correct, he said to the other generals: "All the officers should also check it." ”

The generals saw that the Metropolitan Governor was no exception, and they all pouted and gave their own tokens. After a long time, after everyone had finished inspecting, the lieutenant got out of the way and said, "Governor, all the officials, the guards are not allowed to enter······

Zhang Jun walked past him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The lieutenant was not timid, looked directly into Zhang Jun's eyes and said: "Humble Xin Yan, it is the distant branch of the Xin family······"

"Yes, good job." Zhang Jun patted him on the shoulder and strode away with the others. The others didn't care, but Hu Shuo was very unhappy, glaring at Xin Yan fiercely when he passed by, and snorted in his nostrils.

Xin Yan unconsciously took a step back, with a hint of anger on his face, but he concealed it well, and bowed to Hu Shuo with a fist······

The area of the prison is already very large, and when Zhang Jun led people across the river, Suo Sanjie was waiting in line with several major masters. Seeing Zhang Jun, he took three steps and two steps to greet him, and bowed: "The lowly general will be the supervisor to ask for three precepts, and meet the governor." ”

"Get up." Zhang Jun was in a good mood, he pointed to the waterwheel, overturned and other equipment standing on the riverside and said: "After the water conservancy is used, is everything convenient?" ”

Suo Sanjie said: "Governor, the newly made armor is made of water-driven gears and a jack-of-the-mill hammer, which is very strong. ”

That's right, this is the hydraulic stamping method proposed by Zhang Jun and designed by the supervisor himself!

Zhang Jun said excitedly: "Lead the way, we want to take a closer look!" ”
