Chapter 25: The Fox and the Wolf King
Cheng Yun came to his senses under the reminder of Lao Fuwei, changed the previous training policy for the purpose of elimination, and instead started training according to the method of training the elite of the Tang Army.
At the same time, Pan Xiaogu, the official commander, was very 'interesting', and left Panjiabao in the name of going out hunting, and 'handed over' the leading power of the troops to himself, the deputy commander, which made him very satisfied.
In fact, Cheng Yun misunderstood, the reason why Pan Xiaogu left was not because of any interest, but because he went to other villages to gather people.
Pan Xiaogu on Panjiabao's side did not give up, but made careful arrangements before leaving.
There is no military camp in Panjiapu, and the recruits have to go home after the training, and the first thing they do when they return home is to go to the housekeepers at all levels in Panjiabao and tell them the original content of the day's training, and then these people will summarize and send it to Pan Xiaogu.
In addition, these people are also responsible for constantly instilling the concept of loyalty to Pan Xiaogu and loyalty to the Pan family to the recruits, the recruits were originally the leaders summoned by Pan Xiaogu, and most of the background identities are still members of the Pan family, and with brainwashing and propaganda to win over their own interests, they have no possibility of being pulled away by the Tang Army.
But Cheng Yun didn't know, he still felt guilty about digging people in the corner behind his back, and the object was still the good brother he had just met.
What about Pan Xiaogu? Didn't you say earlier that he was going to build roads and train soldiers? He is busy with this now, Mo Lao suggested finding someone who knows how to train soldiers to help, Pan Xiaogu does not have such a talent in his hands at the moment, but he can come by himself.
Pan Xiaogu has also experienced many military trainings before, and he is more familiar with what queue training, discipline training, etc., what he lacks is only an understanding of the army's combat methods in the era of cold weapons, but he doesn't understand that there are always people who understand, Pan Xiaogu asked people to record the training content of Cheng Yun and others, just to learn the basic combat knowledge of the Tang Army in this era.
The total number of new troops in Panjiabao was nearly 500 people, and Cheng Yun divided these people into ten teams, all of which were infantry troops, including four teams of crossbowmen, two teams of sword players, two teams of spearmen and two teams of Mo knife players.
The crossbowmen were armed with Tang heavy crossbows and short straight knives; The knife player is equipped with a long and short horizontal knife, as well as a large lacquered shield; The spearmen are armed with long spears and short horizontal knives; Finally, the Mo knife hand is equipped with the Tang Army's sharp weapon Mo knife!
All were equipped with a variety of short armor and helmets, all of which were provided by the Tocharian army, some of which were second-hand goods eliminated by the Tang army, and those like the Hu armor were from seizures.
In addition to these weapons, the Tocharian army also transported a batch of old weapons in stock, which was much richer, including swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, but most of them had been corroded, and there were some captured Hu bows and arrows, which were not good goods.
The number of these weapons was not large, and the quality was poor, so it was impossible for Pan Xiaogu to organize the army completely according to the methods of the Tang army, and his plan was to form a spear phalanx army.
Because spears are the easiest thing to produce, there is wood in the territory to make spear shafts, iron ore to make spearheads, and together they are spears. The training of the phalanx is also simpler than that of other troops, as long as the queue is trained well, the basic combat effectiveness can be formed, and then with a few other troops, a phalanx force will be formed.
In addition to the phalanx, Pan Xiaogu can also form cavalry, he has horses on the ground, the herdsmen are born to ride, and the cavalry is also very fast, but the equipment of the cavalry is not easy to solve, and at the beginning he could only rely on the rags sent by the Tang army to make up.
In addition, it is impossible for Pan Xiaogu to train an army in three months by relying on Pan Xiaogu alone, Pan Xiaogu's plan is to train the teaching team first, and then the teaching team will train others.
The first batch of teaching teams had 100 people, and there were people from all villages, Pan Xiaogu first gathered these people and trained them personally, and when the first batch of people who entered the battle hall came out, they would also join the teaching team.
Pan Xiaogu, the training ground of the teaching team, is set in Tietong, which is both hidden (Shanbei) and convenient (center), which is the best choice.
However, the base camp of the road construction army was placed in Shanyang, because only Shanyang and Panjiabao had the capacity to supply thousands of troops, and the base for expanding military training in the future was also there......

In a big tent of Hu people, a few hundred kilometers away from Panjiabao, seven or eight Turkic nobles sat around the big tent and drank, and in the middle of the big tent was not a dancer who accompanied the dance, but a naked man, and on his bare back, you could see the criss-crossing whip marks.
Don't think crookedly, this man is here to make a deal with the nobles in the account...
"Kuchiha, you are a real warrior, you don't beg for mercy when you whip it on your body, I respect the warrior the most in Gilicree, say, why do you want to see me?" The Turkic nobleman with the highest status in the middle of the big tent looked at the bareback man with more interest
"Great Gilikreh Khan, I beg the merciful You to release me and my clan, and I am willing to exchange it with a message." Guanghu Chiha respectfully prostrated in the middle of the big tent and said that he was one of the Turks who had fled from Panjiabao before.
"Oh? Your tribe has more than three hundred women, a hundred warriors, all of whom are now my trophies, including you, and you intend to redeem them all with a message? What news in the world is worth more than that? The Turkic Khan grimaced
"Of course, the news that will allow you to reap more loot from the Great Khan." Kuchiha replied wittily
Gilikrey came interested
"Since there's so much loot, why don't you enjoy it yourself."
"Foxes can use rabbits as trophies, but they definitely don't hunt bison on the grasslands. My tribe is just a weak fox, and certainly does not dare to take the bison as its prey. Khuchiha looked up at the Turkic nobles in the tent and continued, "Unlike the Gilikreh, you are the fiercest wolves in the steppe, and a lone bison is the best prey for wolves. ”
The Turkic nobles in the tent laughed proudly when they heard Khuchiha's praise, and only the Khan of Gilikreh remained calm
"Kuchiha, you also say that you are a fox on the grassland, and a cunning fox can also deceive the wild wolf and lure the wolf pack to the lion's mouth." Gilikre's tone gradually turned cold.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Turkic nobles, who were still laughing just a moment ago, immediately became furious, and one of them even drew his saber and shouted to cut off the head of Khuchiha, but fortunately he was stopped by the Turkic Khan before he could act.
Although he narrowly escaped, Kuchiha's back was already covered with beads of sweat, which flowed onto the whip marks, and there were bursts of hot pain.
"No matter how cunning the fox is, he will not dare to play tricks in front of the wise wolf king." Unfazed, Kuchiha crawled on the ground and continued, "And the fox is willing to take the wolves to find the bison himself, and if he is false, the wolf king can kill him at any time, and the fox's only request is to ask the wolf king to release the fox's family." ”
Gilikrek Khan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You tell me about the bison first, and I'm deciding whether to agree to the fox's deal." ”
"Last month, I was in the Tang people's..."
