Chapter Seventy-Two: Sending Troops?
Time passes day by day. The training on the Yingshang is still continuing.
As a latecomer, Xia Huan has the best understanding of the phrase reasonable competition.
More than 2,000 Changxiu troops are now divided into small pieces. In this way, in addition to magnifying everyone's little bit, it can also form a strong competition.
Of course, the object of this competition is still so old-fashioned, that is, meat.
It can be said that every day at noon and in the evening, it is the busiest time on the school grounds.
Those who eat meat and drink soup, swallow saliva, curse, in short, can be said to be in the ears.
In addition, it didn't take long for Yu Meng and Wang Yan to return to Changxiu's army with "injuries".
The arrival of Yu Meng and Wang Yan greatly relieved Chen Zhaoming's pressure.
Training is not an easy task, especially the people in the Changxiu Army, most of them have no foundation, so it is even more difficult to control.
After Yu Meng Wang Yan came back, Chen Zhaoming handed over the most headache training to Yu Meng.
Wang Yan was assigned to be in charge of the training of spear throwers and archers.
Chen Zhaoming is a professional, whether it is a shield hand or a trapper, coming out is not only a physical work, but also a technical work.
What Chen Zhaoming learned in the Shenwu Army can just be used.
How to focus and how to deal with the enemy is full of knowledge.
Compared with Chen Zhaoming's scientific and reasonable teaching, Yu Meng is much simpler and rude.
The basic operation of Ge Shou is very simple, it is nothing more than stabbing, retracting, and stabbing again. What is really difficult, in addition to coordination, is that they need to overcome their fears.
In addition to supervising everyone's movements and coordination, Yu Meng also directly ordered people to stick Changge in front of his head.
The sharp Changge, even if it's not in winter, can still make people feel a chill.
Ge's hands kept their foreheads on the tips of Changge's thorns motionlessly, and as long as they raised their eyes slightly, they could see the blades that were bubbling with cold light.
If one is not careful, it may even scratch blood.
However, the effect of this crazy training method is still okay. After a few days, the Ge hands, in the face of the cold Changge, are not so nervous, even if Changge stabs, they will not reflexively retreat.
As for Wang Yan, it can be said that he is the most relaxed among the three.
Neither the archer nor the spear thrower needed the accuracy of a hundred steps, all they needed was to draw their bows and shoot arrows and throw as many spears as possible in the shortest possible time.
Therefore, the task of the archer and spear thrower is to constantly improve their arm strength.
Chang Xiujun was training in full swing, and Xia Huan saw it.
Under this rigorous training and the huge temptation of meat, Chang Xiujun's quality has obviously been greatly improved.
It can be said that as far as individual soldiers are concerned, even if they are involved in the army, after they are familiar with it, they can become a qualified soldier of the army.
Now, what Chang Xiujun is missing may just be the overall cooperation.
Chen Zhaoming made specific arrangements for these, and Xia Huan was just putting forward opinions.
Of course, Chang Xiujun was training, and Xia Huan himself did not relax his requirements for himself.
"When! While! While! ”
In the courtyard of the county government, Xia Huan held an unedged iron sword and confronted a palace guard.
Although Xia Huan has been guided by Chen An since he was a child, after the age of fifteen, Emperor Chu's martial arts requirements for him have obviously dropped a lot.
It has to be said that man is still a comfortable animal.
Before Xia Huan, he didn't have any ambitions, and since Emperor Chu was no longer so strict with him, he rarely took the initiative to exercise.
Especially two years ago, after Chen Zhaoming joined the Shenwu Army, the number of exercises became less and less.
In the past ten days, in addition to dealing with the government affairs of Yingshang for more than a fixed hour every day, Xia Huan spent most of the rest of his time on training.
Equestrianism, swordsmanship, physical fitness, none of them can be left behind.
After all, the palace guard is the palace guard, and his strength is also very selective. Moreover, there is a fixed training session every day. This, even when they came to Xia Huan's side, did not change.
In the first few days, Xia Huan fought with them, and because of Xia Huan's identity, the palace guards also let Xia Huan.
However, Xia Huan has Chen An as a teacher after all. In terms of swordsmanship skills, it is not comparable to the palace guards made in batches.
The reason why it was suppressed by the palace guards at the beginning was that the palace guards were better in terms of strength and reflection.
As the battle became longer and longer, Ling Xia Huan's muscles gradually recalled the feeling they once felt.
One by one, the exquisite sword fighting skills were used by Xia Huan. If it weren't for Xia Huan's strength being flawed, I'm afraid that the palace guard at this time would no longer be Xia Huan's opponent.
"Your Highness, there is news."
Just when Xia Huan was in full swing with the palace guard, another palace guard stepped forward.
"Say." Xia Huan put down the iron sword and said while wiping his sweat.
"According to the news from the merchant travelers, more than half a month ago, the private army of the King of Huainan had begun to approach Pengcheng, and the eight armies of Surabaya County had all begun to move northward, and even the King of Nanyang had begun to approach Yingchuan. However, in Shoudu, the Shenwu Army has not made any moves. ”
When Xia Huan heard this, he frowned slightly.
Business travelers are always the most well-informed. Since Xia Huan can learn this information, presumably, it won't be long before the Han Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom can also learn the news.
If the transfer of thousands or even tens of thousands of people is not enough for the two countries to estimate, then this time the Chu Emperor mobilized nearly half of the strength of the Chu State at once, and it can be said that the purpose is already obvious.
"What about Chenjun's army?"
The troops mastered by Ji Shu are basically concentrated in Surabaya County, and while absorbing the nutrients of the Wei State, they can also monitor the Wei State.
However, the army under the support of the third prince Xia Xu and the crown prince Xia Yan was mostly concentrated in Chen County.
Xia Huan knew that judging from the information revealed to him by Chu Emperor Xia Ze before, the army supported by the three princes and the crown prince was estimated to be more auspicious in this war.
However, Xia Ze will never give away the lives of these tens of thousands of people in vain. Therefore, the movement of these tens of thousands of people is the key to the whole war.
"There's no news yet." Then the palace guard said with certainty.
Between Chenjun and Yingshang, there is also a line of Yingshui, and the news is naturally the most well-informed. And it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to quietly go to the front line with military horses, food and grass.
Xia Huan nodded, but his heart became more and more confused.
Xia Ze's purpose, he couldn't be clearer, isn't it vigilant for the opponent to mobilize troops in such a large area?
Before, Xia Huan always thought that if he wanted to bury the army cultivated by the prince and the third prince, the best way was to take the lead when attacking the city.
However, that doesn't seem to be the case now.
In addition, what made Xia Huan most curious was the problem of grain and grass.
As I said before, the grain and grass of more than 200,000 people are eaten and chewed by horses, and every day is a huge number.
Once a war starts, it will be as short as a few months or as long as a few years, and it will not be possible to cope with the crisis unless there is more than a month's worth of food and grass on the front line.
However, if such a large amount of grain and grass wants to be transported to the front line, it is even more impossible to do it quietly than people.
Since the grain and grass are not in place, what does it mean to move troops in advance?
