Chapter 20 Forming Recruits
Soon after, Li Zheng Guo Wu of Linshui Town also came with Qingzhuang, they were originally going to defend against the river pirates, but halfway through, they heard the news that the river thieves had been exterminated by Zhang Shihua. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Guo Wu and the others arrived on the north bank of the town, they saw Zhang Shihua surrounded by the crowd at first sight, and then they saw the corpses of river thieves placed on the riverbank, and they knew that the news was true.
So Guo Wu hurriedly took the young men in the town to kowtow to Zhang Shihua to thank Zhang Shihua for his great kindness in exterminating the river bandits.
After that, he hurriedly asked people to go to the town to announce the good news, and asked the townspeople to prepare meals for Zhang Shihua and them.
And Zhang Shihua did not refrain from the warm invitation of the townspeople, and went to the town with the archers of the Inspection Division.
This time, the townspeople entertained Zhang Shihua, their specifications were much better than the last time Zhang Shihua came, and the admiring eyes of the surrounding townspeople looking at the archers of the Inspection Division also made the vanity of the archers of the Inspection Division feel greatly satisfied.
However, Zhang Shihua and the others did not stay in Linshui Town for a long time, but spent the night in Linshui Town, rested, and left early the next morning under the farewell of the townspeople.
Because Yangshui Town is far away from the river, Zhang Shihua did not drive the boats, but left those boats in Linshui Town.
After all, it is useless for Zhang Shihua to ask for those boats for a while, it is better to lend them to the people first, and then these townspeople help Zhang Shihua watch them, and these boats will not disappear.
Soon after Zhang Shihua returned to Yangshui Town with the archers of the Inspection Division, the news that Zhang Shihua led people to exterminate the river thieves slowly spread in TH County.
And the spread of this incident has also made Zhang Shihua's reputation go to a higher level, and now the reputation of Zhang Patrol Inspection in Yangshui Town has spread not only in TH County, but also in the state city Zhang Shihua is also a little famous.
However, Zhang Shihua, who was in the Inspection Department, didn't pay attention to so much, because Zhang Shihua had a more important thing to do.
In this actual battle, the pikemen exposed a problem, which Zhang Shihua had to pay attention to, that is, in order to make the pikemen have the ability to counterattack when they were close to the enemy, the combat knives equipped with the pikemen were useless in actual combat.
The pikemen with the sword are purely chicken ribs, Zhang Shihua thought about this problem too simple at the beginning.
After all, pikemen are not cavalry, and it is impossible to change weapons as quickly as cavalry, and pikemen, as infantry, have no time to change weapons when the enemy is close.
This time, for example, the leader of the river pirates slashed the spear of one of the archers of the Inspection Division, who had no time to pull his sword from his waist.
Besides, the most important thing for pikemen is the formation, and changing the spear for the knife is a move to mess up the formation.
Therefore, equipping pikemen with knives is really a bad move by Zhang Shihua, and the reason why such a mistake occurred is also to blame Zhang Shihua, after all, Zhang Shihua did not have any experience in leading troops before, and it is normal for mistakes to go wrong, but fortunately there were no losses in personnel.
And Zhang Shihua has been thinking about this problem since he came back from Linshui Town, since the pikemen with war knives are not very useful, it would be good for Zhang Shihua to form a team that specializes in using war knives, and when he thought of this Zhang Shihua's thinking, he suddenly made sense.
After all, it is impossible to win all the time with a single unit, and fighting a war itself is not a matter for one person to play a decisive role, so why can't you form a different team from the pikemen?
After all, pikemen are not perfect, for example, defensive appearance is not what pikemen are good at, and the reason why pikemen can win consecutive battles is not because the pikemen of the inspection department are too strong, but because these robbers are too weak, so the shortcomings of pikemen are not exposed, but if they fight hard, the shortcomings of pikemen will definitely be exposed.
And then it was too late, thinking that this strengthened Zhang Shihua's determination to form a new team.
You have to form a unit that is good at close combat and has strong defensive capabilities.
And the troops that meet these two characteristics are naturally sword and shield soldiers. Yes, I want to form a sword and shield soldier, Zhang Shihua thought.
I thought of it, so Zhang Shihua called the team leader of the five archers of the inspection department, including Brother Donkey and Erniu, and called Li and Erren to exchange opinions with them on the new sword and shield soldiers.
After a while, everyone rushed to the lobby of the main house of the compound of the Inspection Division, and sat down in turn in the lobby.
In fact, Zhang Shihua is still very good to Li and Erren, and it can be seen from the seats of everyone that the seats of Li and Erren are higher than those of Brother Donkey.
And after everyone arrived, Zhang Shihua also entered the lobby from behind, and everyone in the room saw Zhang Shihua coming, and hurriedly got up to salute Zhang Shihua.
At this time, Zhang Shihua also told the people in the hall that he was going to build a new sword and shield soldier, saying that he wanted to ask them their opinions, and everyone naturally agreed with this matter, so Zhang Shihua entered the next topic.
That is how to build this new sword and shield soldier, and this time Zhang Shihua did not take the initiative to express his opinion, but wanted his subordinates to say their thoughts first.
So Zhang Shihua sat on a chair and asked: Since you and others think that it is feasible to build sword and shield soldiers, how to build this army, you can speak freely.
When everyone in the hall heard Zhang Shihua's words, first you look at me and I look at you, and then it was Brother Donkey who stood up and bent down to Zhang Shihua and said: "Returning to my lord, the villain thinks that the sword and shield soldiers are the pawns who charge ahead, protect their comrades, and fight with the enemy in close quarters.
Zhang Shihua listened to Brother Donkey's words, nodded with a smile and said: What Ah Jiu said is the same as what this inspection thinks, but I don't know what others think?
Since Zhang Shihua has already agreed with Brother Zhao Jiu's opinion, these people are not stupid and naturally know what to say, so they echoed one after another: Brother Zhao (Brother Zhao) is right, and the villain also thinks so.
And Zhang Shihua nodded when he heard everyone's answer, and said: Ah Jiu, you take a seat first, since you all think like this, then from tomorrow Ah Jiu (Brother Donkey), Mingtong (Brother Lu), and Thirteen, the archers led by you will be officially reorganized into sword and shield hands, while Xiao Er (Zhao Er) and Er Niu The archers under your command will remain unchanged.
After Brother Donkey, Erniu and others heard Zhang Shihua's order, they naturally replied "obey".
Then Zhang Shihua said to Li and Erren: Although the Inspection Division is now not short of swords and warriors, but it lacks the shield used by the sword and shield hand, I have drawn the pattern of the shield used by the sword and shield hand, as for the search for the production, it will be bothering the two of them, I don't care how much money it costs, but I will see thirty shields within half a month.
When Li and Erren heard Zhang Shihua's order, they naturally got up and replied, "Obey."
Then Zhang Shihua handed over the shield drawings that needed to be built to the two of them.
After that, Zhang Shihua did not keep them, but waved them down to deal with their own affairs.
Then Zhang Shihua went to the school as usual, commanding and inspecting the training of the new and old archers of the Inspection Division, when he saw that the new archers of the Inspection Division were getting better and better day by day, and the old archers of the Inspection Division were also very different from before, this was also Zhang Shihua's proudest moment.
Looking at the 100 men cheering and training on the school field, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think in his heart: With them, maybe he can really change the world?
