The battle between the two teams lasted for half an hour, and then one side won by virtue of the skill of its own sword and shield soldiers. Taishou summoned the commander of the battalion of foot soldiers to come forward and encourage him, but it was the general who had accompanied Taishou that day to observe the drills of his men.

Li Yanzhao heard that the soldiers of the battalion beside him were talking. I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listen.

"Captain Zhao is very strict in training soldiers on weekdays. But it seems to be paying off. ”

"I heard that the sergeants of Zhao Duwei's battalion practiced every day, and everyone had to chop and stab the wooden people thousands of times. If there is slackness, it will be a military stick. ”

"Yes, the sergeants of Zhao Duwei's battalion are afraid of him. Captain Zhao said everything in the battalion, and no soldier dared to question it. ”

Li Yanzhao heard these discussions, and he also had a certain understanding of this Zhao Duwei. This person is obviously an oppressive general. For the corporals, the law and discipline must come first. Stern very. This is slightly different from his own concept of leading troops. However, this method leads the troops, and the execution of the soldiers is stronger. Because there is only one voice in this army!

Similarly, if a general makes a wrong decision, his subordinates will also implement it meticulously. As a result, most of them will be in a situation from which they will never recover.

Li Yanzhao always believes that the wisdom of all people is condensed together, and it will play a qualitative role. The generals put forward strategic or tactical objectives and draw up battle plans, and the rear subordinates put forward their own suggestions for changes to the plans, so as to refine these battle plans and make them more complete enough to deal with all kinds of contingencies. This kind of perfection under the collective wisdom of the people cannot be replaced by even the most far-sighted person. Not all famous generals are born with the talent of Wei Huo. The vast majority of famous generals in history. It was all in the handsome tent that they worked together and strategized to win one victory after another.

The ten people in front of him are the team that started by themselves. Li Yanzhao firmly believes that these displaced people who have lived in the land of Yongqin for generations, and were forced to go into exile to Liangzhou, suffered a lot on the way to exile, and witnessed all kinds of tragic phenomena, will cherish the hard-won life in front of them more than ordinary people, and will have a firmer belief in protecting the family and defending the country, which is not just an empty slogan in their hearts, but an oath that they vow to practice and protect with their blood and life!

The camps have completed the drill and review. However, the Taishou on the stage of the general talked to several lieutenants beside him for a while. Not long after, Li Yanzhao saw that Pang Sima came to the center of the general platform, looked at Li Yanzhao and his party, and said loudly: "The mule and horse affairs under the commander of the cavalry commander, where is the chief Li Yanzhao!" ”

Li Yanzhao heard that Pang Sima had pointed to his name, and he bounced up from the ground as a conditioned reflex, raised his arms to his waist, trotted to the point general with a standard queue running movement, and then knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, and said to Pang Sima on the stage: "Li Yanzhao, the commander of the cavalry lieutenant's subordinate to the mule and horse, led ten people from the headquarters to participate in the school review, please show Pang Sima!" ”

"The prince of the government ordered your department to participate in the school review, first draw five people to test the school bow and arrow, a distance of thirty steps, ten arrows to the school, and organize it yourself. After that, he and Zhao Duwei's subordinates dispatched eleven people to conduct infantry drills! ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Li Yanzhao clasped his fists and saluted. Then he turned around and ran back to the headquarters, shouting loudly: "All of you have - stand up!" ”

"To the right - turn!" Although everyone did not have a systematic practice queue, Li Yanzhao demanded that the more than ten people in the camp must march in line when they acted collectively. For his passwords, everyone is already familiar with them.

"Run—walk!" With Li Yanzhao's password. Everyone ran in unison towards the red line in the center of the school field.

Standing in front of the red line, Li Yanzhao thought for a moment and nodded: "Cao Jian, Liu Jiwu, Cui Yang, Zhang Xing." Dequeue! ”

The four of them took a step forward as they were told.

"Prepare your bow and arrows!" With this command, everyone took their bows and arrows in their hands.

"Get on the arrow!"

"Draw the bow!"

"Put!"

The five people, including Li Yanzhao, let go of their hands, and everyone's arrows were already gone. After a neat and aggressive sound, Li Yanzhao looked at the five arrow targets thirty steps away, and there was already an arrow inserted in each of them.

"Get on the arrow!"

"Draw the bow!"

"Put!"

"Get on the arrow!"

"Draw the bow!"

"Put!"

At this time, in Li Yanzhao's world, only the arrow target in front of him remained, as well as the sound of passwords from time to time, and the bow and arrow in his hand. He, as well as the five people standing behind the red line at this time, all mechanically raised their arms, drew their bows, and released arrows.

After shooting six or seven arrows, Li Yanzhao clearly felt that his arm was beginning to ache, and he was already unable to continue his stamina. However, he still led the crowd to shoot ten arrows.

The tenth arrow came out of the string. Li Yanzhao saw that the arrow was straight into the target, and he couldn't help but raise his fist and shouted to vent the depression in his heart.

The crowd inserted their bows back into their sacs. Not long after, the sound of the target report from the shooting range was already heard.

"The first target, the seven arrows!"

"The second target, the sixth arrow!"

"The third target, the nine arrows!" As soon as this announcement came out, whether it was the Taishou on the stage, the captains and generals, or the more than 1,000 soldiers watching from the audience, they were all shocked! Who would have thought that among these "mules and horses", there would be such a skilled sergeant?

"The fourth target, the sixth arrow!"

"The fifth target, the fifth arrow!"

Li Yanzhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the target report sergeant's target. The few people he selected to test archery were all sergeants who performed well when they practiced bows and arrows. Fortunately, after the first entrance examination, everyone played normally. It's not very good, but it's pretty good just over a month of practice.

When the lieutenant of the shooting battalion heard these announcements, he jumped up excitedly, spun around in place a few times, and then muttered: "Elite soldiers! ”

More than eighty percent of the battalion in the battalion are veterans who have been in service for more than two years, and the 30 paces away from the target are only five or six out of ten. Like the one who is nine out of ten, it is even more unique. He even moved the idea of including these soldiers in his battalion. However, looking at Ma Ping, the cavalry commander on the side, he dispelled this thought.

That domineering and talented Ma Ping, who protects his shortcomings, has such elite soldiers under his command, it is strange that he is willing to allocate them to himself. Thinking of this, Sun Jianxiong, the captain of the shooting battalion, couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. Throw away such elite soldiers to raise horses, and only Ma Ping, a rammer, can do it.

Li Yanzhao and his entourage collected all the arrows they shot at the target, and then untied their bows and arrows and placed them on the open space where everyone had sat before. Then the people gathered together with swords and shields.

On the other side, in the infantry battalion under Commander Zhao, ten people also walked out, and under the leadership of Commander Zhao Chengzhi, they were also making preparations.

Pang Sima ordered his subordinate sergeants to bring a cauldron and a number of wooden knives and sticks. In the cauldron was half a pot of lime. Several soldiers distributed the wooden knives, and wrapped the ends of several wooden sticks with cloth, which was filled with lime. Distribute to both sides.

Li Yanzhao gathered everyone together and said, "Everyone is in accordance with the arrangement of the battle array drill. Seven people held swords and shields in the front, and Liu Jiwu, Cao Jian, Han Wencan, and Cui Yang held spears, two by two, placed on the two wings of the second row. “

Niu Erzhuang and Qin Dayong were in the center of the front row. When the opposite side rushes closer, you two will try your best to squeeze the front row of the opponent's center soldier with your shield. If there is a gap in the shield wall in front of the opponent, the four people behind will stab the gap with spears from both wings. If there is no gap in the opponent, the front row of soldiers must struggle to withstand the opponent's charge. Four men with spears sought an opportunity to attack from both flanks. If the opponent's defense is tight and there is no chance to take advantage of it, the front row of soldiers must rush into the opposite side, causing the opponent's front row to have a flaw. At that time, I hope you will listen to my command. ”

"No!" Everyone said in unison.

Soon, the two foot soldiers were assembled. Soon they were all taken to the center of the school field. Li Yanzhao looked at the opposite side. I saw that all the soldiers on the opposite side were strong and strong, and everyone in the front row was holding wooden knives and long cards. Behind are four spears, the heads of which are covered in lime and pointed diagonally at the sky.

Seeing that the two sides had finished lining up, Pang Sima personally walked down from the point platform and inspected the weapons in everyone's hands. Seeing that the wooden knives and guns were correct, he turned around and walked back to the stage. Shouted: "Go!" ”

The soldiers on both sides held their long cards in front of their chests, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the opposite side together.

Li Yanzhao held up the long card, poked out half of his head and looked at the opposite side, I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate. The opposite side he was facing was exactly Zhao Duwei with a cold light on his face. Zhao Duwei's cold eyes aroused Li Yanzhao's endless competitiveness. He felt a nameless fire gradually burn in his chest, and several streams of heat wrapped in strength and went straight to his limbs.

"Bang!" Two columns of shield-wielding foot men slammed their shields together with all their might. Both sides gritted their teeth and pushed forward, hoping that their efforts could push the tight shield front on the opposite side to push a little flaw. The soldiers on both sides pressed their feet to the ground, and they all used all their strength to push their shields in the opposite direction. At this time, both sides are full of energy, and no one on either side can help anyone.

Li Yanzhao held the wooden knife in his backhand, clenched it into a fist with his right hand holding the knife, and pressed against his long card. Zhao Duwei on the opposite side was slowly pushing against his shield. Li Yanzhao could feel his footsteps sliding backwards little by little. He couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: What a lot of strength!

Zhao Duwei went all out, but he still felt the tenacity of the opponent opposite. He considered himself unrivaled in his bravery in this army, but the courage and determination of the young chief on the other side did not seem to be below him.

Li Yanzhao saw that the spears on the opposite side were all concentrated in the center. He reminded him: "Niu Erzhuang, Qin Dayong." Watch out for the spear on the other side! After saying that, he turned his head sideways and shouted behind him: "Liu Jiwu, Cao Jian, two wings, up!" ”

When Liu Jiwu and Cao Jian heard this, they quickly took one person to each of the two wings, and when they saw that the battle situation between the two sides was stalemate, and it was difficult to solve the problem, they quickly stepped forward and stabbed the spears in their hands like raindrops of sword and shield soldiers on the two wings of the opponent.

Seeing Li Yanzhao's change of formation like this, the four pikemen on the opposite side knew that something was wrong in their hearts, and without waiting for Captain Zhao to give an order, they spontaneously arrived at the flank in pairs and quickly protected the empty door on the side of their sword and shield soldiers.

After the spear on the opposite side reached the two wings, it stabbed Cao Jian and Liu Jiwu. Both sides stabbed each other. Li Yanzhao looked at Cui Yang and a soldier on the opposite side who was stabbed and left a white spot on his body, and abandoned his gun and came out of the ranks. Turning his head to the front of the center, he said: "Niu Erzhuang, Qin Dayong!" Push! ”

Niu Erzhuang and Qin Dayong heard this. With a loud shout, he pushed forward. The two of them still had some spare strength before. At this time, he pushed hard with his shield, and the soldiers on the opposite side couldn't bear it, and a gap about two fists wide appeared in the shield wall that was originally tightly sealed.

This is the time! Li Yanzhao shouted: "Long spear! Stab! ”

Cao Jian, Liu Jiwu and Han Wencan, who had already prepared, quickly raised their guns above their heads and stabbed straight into the gap between the two fists, and the three of them stabbed hard. There was a scream from the opposite formation. Then a sergeant with a dense white spot on his head and shoulders came out of the battle, abandoned his sword and shield and walked to the side, standing next to the two people who had gone out before. but looked into the middle of the battle.

stabbed the other party again, and Li Yanzhao's side suddenly boosted their morale. The crowd shouted and began to push forward. On the other side, however, there is already a lack of color.

"Shrink the formation!" Zhao Duwei knew that he was less than the other side at this time, and only by shrinking the formation could he stabilize the front.

"Front row, lift!" Zhao Duwei gave the order, and all his subordinates rose up and forcefully lifted their shields towards Li Yanzhao and the others.

Their lifting made a difference in the force on the shields of the people on the opposite side, and when they were caught off guard, the shield walls that were originally tightly knit were exposed one after another.

"Hack!" Under Captain Zhao's order, all the sergeants slashed out the wooden knives in their hands. Caught off guard. Several people on Li Yanzhao's side were slashed one after another.

At this time, Li Yanzhao and his entourage, who were originally superior, had three people in succession to abandon the sword and shield. The situation in the battle array changed drastically in an instant. Li Yanzhao then had to make everyone shrink the formation. However, the situation is also becoming more and more passive. Several of his subordinates are becoming more and more uncomfortable under the comprehensive squeeze of the other party.

"Brothers, hold on!" Faced with the situation of fighting more with less and being suppressed all the time, Li Yanzhao decided to capture the thief and capture the king and kill Zhao Duwei in the opponent's formation. "Cao Jian, Liu Jiwu, Han Wencan, come behind me." The three men with spears did as they were told.

"Later, I will fight to push the other party away, and the three of you will rush out of the flank, and be sure to hit the other party's captain!" Li Yanzhao whispered to the trio. All three nodded their heads, indicating that they understood.

"Kill!" Li Yanzhao roared angrily, and had already used twelve points of strength to fight towards Zhao Duwei on the opposite side. At this time, the strength of both sides was running out, and what they fought for was just a bloody and brave spirit.

"Kill!" When everyone heard Li Yanzhao's roar, they all tried their best to resist the other party, and even forced the other party to retreat repeatedly.

"Kill!" Li Yanzhao roared with all his might, but the shield in his hand had already pushed Zhao Duwei on the opposite side.

"This is the time!" Before Li Yanzhao could finish speaking, Cao Jian, Liu Jiwu and Han Wencan, who were holding spears behind him, had already jumped out, and the wooden spears in their hands rained down on Zhao Duwei behind the shield.

The three of them were resolute-willed, and they didn't care about the wooden spears stabbed on the other side, the wooden knives that were chopped, and more than a dozen shots were stabbed out in an instant. Zhao Duwei was pushed by Li Yanzhao to a stumbling side, and he was already unable to block with his moves. After the three of them succeeded, their faces were full of smiles. Ignoring the wooden guns and knives on the opposite side, they beckoned straight towards everyone.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were also covered with white spots. looked at Zhao Duwei, who abandoned the sword and shield on the opposite side and walked out of the formation, and his body was full of white spots. Everyone was satisfied with their results.

"Stop!" Everyone who was still in the battle group heard Li Yanzhao shouting. Either side is stopping.

Li Yanzhao went out of the queue to the point general. Zhao Duwei was covered in white spots and looked at Li Yanzhao with a little embarrassment. Li Yanzhao smiled apologetically at him. Then the general and the generals on the stage hugged their fists and bowed: "Fujun, generals." The subordinates lost their troops and lost their generals, and they were no longer able to win. In this battle, it was Zhao Duwei and his subordinates who won the battle. ”

Everyone looked at the scene in the field, as Li Yanzhao said. If the soldiers left in the field by Li Yanzhao's subordinates fought again, they would undoubtedly have to be able to defeat two enemies in order to have a few chances of victory.

"Zhao Duwei's subordinates are skilled in martial arts and cooperate tacitly. The soldiers of our department have not been practicing for a long time, and their skills are not as good as others, and they have not been unjustly lost. Li Yanzhao bowed his hand to Zhao Duwei on the side with admiration on his face.

Zhao Duwei was killed by Li Yanzhao and was still embarrassed. Hearing Li Yanzhao's words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he also had a good impression of Li Yanzhao admitting defeat openly.

In any case, Li Yanzhao led his troops to fight against more than a dozen of the most elite infantry soldiers of the Guangwu Army, back and forth, and at the last moment hit the opponent's general Zhao Duwei, forcing him to abandon his weapons and leave the battle. It is enough to win the respect of all the generals and soldiers in the army.

Taishou and the generals can see the situation in the field, and they all know it in their hearts. Taishou Fusu said with a smile: "Your ten people have only practiced for more than a month, and they have achieved such results, and in time, they will be elite soldiers!" Then he turned his head to Zhao Duwei and said: "Zhao Duwei's subordinates are brave and good at fighting, and they are skilled in martial arts. This official has also heard of it for a long time, and when I see it today, it is not in vain! I hope that the army will take it as an example and train hard. He fought hard to kill the enemy and made great achievements! ”

After receiving the encouragement of Taishou, everyone agreed one after another. They packed up and went back to camp. The up-and-coming proofreading ceremony of the stables has come to an end.
