Chapter 240: The Barbarians Are No Longer Gone

In the school yard of the barracks, more than 10,000 Han troops, under the orders of the captains of each school, lined up in a neat army phalanx, and performed martial arts in a column. As Fuquan and Du Kang took their positions on the Guanwu platform, the generals who returned to their own troops also began to march under the orders of the Chinese army. Behind is the cavalry out of the formation, each part of the attack in turn, chiseling through the enemy's formation, the cavalry on both sides outflanked in a roundabout, ambushing and annihilating the thieves.

For a moment, the shouts of the soldiers were like thunder, and the orders of the cavalry were issued, and the flying dust raised surged with the shouting, rolling up smoke and dust like mist. Armed with spears in hand, and under the cover of the advancing sword and shield men, the iron-clad foot soldiers braved the arrows and charged forward to engage the thieves. Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals did not take the lead at this time as in the previous battles, but stood in the rear army and watched the military situation of the headquarters. They kept urging their soldiers and horses to attack the thieves in front, and in an instant, the two armies were close to each other, and the thieves in front fell like autumn wind sweeping leaves under the surging offensive of the Han army.

The soldiers of Shudi are similar to the soldiers of the border lands, and they are also very fond of spears, and of course, they are also very fond of swords and shields. After all, in the Bashu Mountains, some places are not conducive to long weapons due to geographical reasons, and only short weapons such as swords and shields can give full play.

I saw that the soldiers of the Han army had the support of the feather arrows of the elite archers in the rear, and under the encouragement of the generals, they rushed to the thieves with "not afraid of death", and they made the sword and shield spears proficient and exquisite, the sword and shield rushed forward, and the spears advanced like a forest, and the two arms continued to alternately stab and charge, entangled the elite soldiers and horses among the thieves, and used the advantage of the spear to make them suffer heavy casualties.

The nearly 1,000 cavalry led by Yan Yan on the two wings of the periphery quickly discovered the loopholes of the entangled thief army, crossed the attack, annihilated the enemy's weak soldiers and horses, and further outflanked the enemy. Although all of this is a simulated command battle that has been prepared for a long time, and the school parade is just a horse, even those enemies who fell to the ground are just some straw men and wooden targets, but under the drill of the Han soldiers, it still looks so immersive and feels the precipitousness on the battlefield.

Du Kang's eyes looked at the Han army's military formation with a shocked look, and the immobile and aggressive military momentum made him feel a little frightened, which was the same as the Han army in his impression? Even when Fuquan led the troops to quell the chaos before, the soldiers and horses he led did not have this kind of momentum, and Du Kang believed that if Fuquan had brought this kind of soldiers and horses at that time, the Ban Yu barbarians under his command might not be able to withstand several attacks from Fuquan's troops.

Looking at the extremely shocked expression of the barbarian beside him, Fu Quan couldn't help but have a sneer in his heart, how could the group of soldiers he had recruited with all his heart be compared to those weak county soldiers in Ba County that these barbarians had seen before, and this good show had just been staged.

After the exercise, the review did not end, since it was a review, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers had just been verified, and the next thing was to parade, after more than 10,000 Han troops lined up again, under the guidance of the generals of the various departments, they came to the school platform.

Fu Quan and Du Kang stood on the school platform, looking at the military formation under the school platform with different expressions, behind the two were several Han soldiers who seemed to be careless guards, but in fact they were always ensuring the safety of Fu Quan, after all, no one could guarantee whether this Du Kang really accepted Zhao'an, would he suddenly burst out and hold Fu Quan hostage?

For the sake of safety, of course Fuquan will not really go out of the same place as Du Kang, and everyone understands the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Even if he is not afraid that Du Kang will blackmail him, if he is really taken hostage, it will undoubtedly make people who know the inside story laugh and laugh at him for being so unwise, so Fu Quan has prepared this security measure, he doesn't believe that Du Kang can hold himself hostage in front of several people, unarmed.

In the school field, tens of thousands of Han soldiers are like parts on a ruthless war machine, marching in an orderly manner, walking in front of the school platform, they neatly waved the weapons in their hands, in the majestic school field, forming a passionate momentum, if others are familiar, they will know that this is a kind of contempt for all momentum, no matter how the opponent resists, they can still defeat them indomitable momentum.

Ahead, Huang Zhong, who had already returned to the battalion to command the troops, walked neatly with a thousand-man sword and shield soldier under his command, and the iron armor and footsteps seemed to merge into a dull death knell, striking any small man who dared to infringe on the might of the Han army.

Huang Zhong led his troops to approach the school platform, only to see him raise the long knife in his hand and shout: "The Han army is mighty!" ”

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

Three times in a row, after Huang Zhong finished shouting, the thousand sword and shield soldiers under Huang Zhong also raised their long knives in their hands and shouted loudly, the sound shook like a bell, and it sounded into the sky, as if there was no army in the world to fight against the Han army.

This scene deeply shocked Du Kang beside Fuquan, the Ban Yu barbarians have always been loose and free, even if they rebelled into an army, it has always been like this, how could he have ever seen this kind of military situation? Even if they defeated the Bajun soldiers at the beginning, they did not have this kind of might, otherwise they would not have been easily defeated by them if they really had this kind of momentum. At this time, Du Kang's heart was extremely shocked, his eyes were glazed, staring at the Han army that was still marching motionless, as if to make sure that he saw it really.

It's just that, obviously, the Han army didn't intend to just deter Du Kang, and after the soldiers under his command shouted three times "The Han army is mighty", Huang Zhong raised his sword and shouted: "What should be the case if you commit a strong man?" ”

"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"

After Huang Zhonghan, the thousand sword and shield soldiers took Huang Zhong's shout and shouted in unison, and the voice of the soldiers resounded in the sky again, louder than the previous few times they cried out in pain, Du Kang was careless for a while, and felt that his ears were like being in the camp tent, and they were blown up, is this the Han army that their ancestors have been following? It was so powerful, so powerful, how could they fight against the powerful Han army?

"How is this army, compared to the barbarian army?" Fu Quan turned his head to look at Du Kang Dao beside him, he saw that Du Kang seemed to be in a trance, and deliberately asked this at this time. The best words to deter are to hit the thing that he doesn't want to talk about in his heart when the other party is reluctant, and now, the last thing Du Kang wants to talk about is who is stronger between the Han army and the Ban Yu barbarian army.

"The Han army is well-dressed and well-armoured, and the military formation is disciplined, but it is not as brave as our army, and Kang thinks it is inferior." Du Kang gritted his teeth and replied that he didn't admit it, how could he not know Fuquan's intentions, the Han army was collectively giving him a horse. Although in his heart, he didn't think that they could defeat the Han army with their personal bravery and self-made bow and crossbow formations, but at this time, he couldn't give in, otherwise he would lose his status in vain, so he replied stubbornly.

Looking at Du Kang's tough retort in front of him, Fu Quan didn't get angry after hearing this, but just sneered: "Although the brave soldiers are a good choice for elite soldiers, but the constraints are unclear and the orders are not familiar, how can they be a strong army?" Those who strengthen the army are not to take advantage of the soldiers, but to clearly restrain and familiarize themselves with the order, so that the advance and retreat are orderly, and the order is prohibited, so that the army is strong. ”

"This ......" Du Kang couldn't reply to Fu Quan's words, because they were all clan soldiers, and the soldiers had always been scattered, so it was indeed difficult to compete with the strictly trained Han army, if they couldn't defeat the Han army with their own tactics and soldiers, then the outcome was difficult to predict.

In fact, what Fu Quan means in this sentence is that a strong army should have strict discipline and restraint, and the military order can be forbidden, so that it can be a strong army. A strong army is always a military that can be as immobile as a mountain and invade like fire, and all this is inseparable from strict military discipline and strict observance of military orders, otherwise, relying on personal courage and sharp armor, it will never be a strong army, but only an army that will only bully enemies weaker than themselves.

In Fu Quan's heart, only after continuous training, an army to achieve strict discipline, orders and prohibitions, this kind of army is undoubtedly a strong army, how did a generation of soldiers Sun Wu train the strong army of Wu that almost destroyed Chu later, isn't it the strict discipline of the army when fighting, and the order is forbidden?

When the young Sun Wu entered the state of Wu to train female soldiers for the king of Wu, in order to restrain the women in the palace of the state of Wu, he actually killed the concubine of the palace to deter the palace maids, but in the end he did not sanction him, the reason is that Sun Wu relied on this hand to completely turn the originally loose and undisciplined palace maids of the state of Wu into a disciplined and forbidden female army. After that, Sun Wu was even more trusted by He Lu, who knew that Sun Wu could use soldiers, so he used him as a general, which was the elite of the Wu army that broke through the West and strengthened Chu in the West and Qi Jin in the north.

And the Wu army has become so brave, in Fu Quan's view, Sun Wu just trained the originally loose and brave Wu people who were not afraid of death, relying on military law to train into a disciplined army that enforces prohibitions, so there will be the strength of the Wu army. Now in the current situation of Ban Yu Man, how similar to the Wu army, even if they rely on their own unique Bayu dance, they have their own formation when fighting, but after all, they are not the Han army, which has undergone strict battle formation training, and the reason why Fu Quan changed the offensive and defensive disadvantages of the Ba County soldiers compared to the Ban Yu Barbarians is also because he trained the county soldiers fiercely before quelling the barbarian chaos.

On the school ground, drums were beating, horns were excited, and the soldiers of the Han army shouted loud shouts, echoing in front of Du Kang one after another. When one array after another passed by Fuquan and Du Kang on the school platform, they all repeated Huang Zhong's actions just now, sentence after sentence of "the Han army is mighty" and "Those who commit my strong Han will be punished even if they are far away", constantly repeating in front of Du Kang, Du Kang's face seemed to rise to the color of pig liver, and he never got better.

Finally, as Yan Yan walked through the school platform with the last nearly 1,000 horsemen, the military parade that made Du Kang a little distraught finally ended. Today, he finally understood why Gong Su had always disapproved of the Banyu barbarians breaking up and rebelling against the Han people, these Han people were fundamentally different from the weakness they thought in their hearts, and the strong army of the Han people was actually as strong as their Banyu barbarians, but they had never encountered these soldiers and horses.

"The Han army, the heavenly soldiers, the heavenly power is difficult to resist, and the barbarians will not rebel."

This is the last sentence that Du Kang and Fu Quan said, after hearing this, Fu Quan understood that his purpose of this school parade horse was finally achieved, and the most troublesome leader of the Ban Yu Barbarian, Qu Shuai, finally surrendered in his heart, and the unstable factors within the Ban Yu Barbarian had begun to be gradually eliminated by him.

Since Du Kang already had the heart of surrender, of course Fu Quan would not let go of this opportunity, and he then ordered Du Kang to go and surrender the other Ban Yu barbarians who hid in the mountains, and swore that he would never harm anyone. Of course, Fuquan naturally won't let this group of people return to the Banyu barbarians, these people return to the barbarians, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one like Du Kang among them, isn't this just a return to the mountain by letting the tiger go for nothing?

Fortunately, at this time, Fuquan still has the method of recruiting soldiers, he plans to integrate this batch of barbarians, as long as they are qualified, into the army, put under their noses to monitor, as for those who do not meet the requirements, if they understand the etiquette of the Han people, those who are coarse and fluent in writing and ink will be incorporated into the military officials, and the rest will let them be firehead soldiers.

As for whether this move will cause criticism and resentment among the barbarians, Fu Quan doesn't care, anyway, he only promised not to blame these rebellious barbarians in the past and pardon them, but he didn't say that he would not recruit them as soldiers?

Sun Tzu warrior, Qi people, with the art of war in the king of Wu. He Lu said: "The thirteen articles of the son, I have seen it all, can I try to extort the soldiers?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Can you try to be a woman?" He said, "Yes." So Xu Zhi, out of the palace beauties, got one hundred and eighty people. The grandson was divided into two teams, with the king's favorite and the two captains each, both of whom were ordered to hold halberds. Ling Zhi said: "Do you know that your heart is behind your left and right hands? The woman said, "Yes." Sun Tzu said: "The front is to look at the heart; left, look at the left hand; right, right-handed; Later, that is, the back of the view. The woman said, "No." "The restraint is clothed, but the axe is set up, that is, three orders and five declarations. So the drum was right, and the woman laughed. Sun Tzu said: "The restraint is unclear, the order is not familiar, and the crime will be punished." The woman laughed again. Sun Tzu said: "The restraint is unclear, the order is not familiar, and the crime is also guilty; Those who have understood but are not worthy of the law are also guilty of the officials. "I want to behead the captains of the left and right. King Wu watched from the stage, saw and beheaded Ai Ji, was shocked, and the envoy ordered to say: "The widow knows that the general can use soldiers." The widow is not this two concubines, the food is not sweet, and I am willing not to cut it. Sun Tzu said: "Since the minister has been appointed as a general, he will be in the army, and the king's order will not be accepted." Then he beheaded the captain and the two in favor. With the second as the captain, then the drum is restored. The woman knelt up and left and right, and she did not dare to make a sound. So Sun Tzu sent an envoy to the king, saying: "The soldiers are neat, the king can try to look at them, but the king can use them if he wants, even if he goes to the fire and water." King Wu said: "The general will give up, and the widow will not want to watch." Sun Tzu said: "The king is good at his words, but he can't use facts." So he knew that his grandson could use soldiers, and he thought he would be a general. West broke strong Chu, entered Ying, Northern Wei Qi Jin, famous princes, grandson and powerful Yan.
