Chapter 373: A mercenary with a story and skills

The Duchy of Saxony was a small state among the German states, and at that time the states were poor, and the peasants went bankrupt to work as mercenaries.

Compared with the strict and loyal Swiss mercenaries and the skilled Spanish mercenaries, the mercenaries of the German states are known for their greed, cruelty and shamelessness. Among the evils, the most disputable is the mercenaries of the Duchy of Saxony, which is located in the heart of Europe, in the whirlpool, if you don't have a black heart, there is no reason to survive.

Although there are various explanations, such a person is under the command of Li Meng, as the master, there is no reason to be happy.

Dunglas Deng Yangren is very sinicized, but he knows Li Meng's habit of employing people, even if the Han people are disloyal, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, if there is another treacherous ghost mercenary, the ghost knows what will happen and what the result will be.

Since Li Meng asked Deng Yangren to inquire today, Dunglas knew in his heart, what he said today was to endorse that Ouman, and the Jiaozhou battalion was given military priority, and this Ouman seemed to have goods in his stomach, and he would inevitably be reused in the future, but the reputation of the mercenaries in various German states in Europe was extremely poor.

A system like Li Mengjiao's camp is extremely loyal to the people, if this Ouman has that traditional habit, if something happens in the future, I am afraid that his side will have to take responsibility, so he must make these words clear in advance.

These episodes are not accepted at all in modern film and television media and general reading, and Li Meng listened to them with great interest, but Li Meng was not worried about whether Auman was loyal or not.

"Disloyal and unfilial, as long as you are talented, you can reuse" Cao Cao's concept of employing people, Li Meng also had to reluctantly accept the part, his status is not high now. There is no name for righteousness, Li Chuang and the Ming court know the strength of his force, but among the people in the world, there are two camps, one is an official and the other is a thief, the official is the Ming court, the thief is Li Chuang and Cao Cao, and Li Meng is a member of the Ming officer and soldier system. Aspiring talents will not look for the inconspicuous Jiaozhou battalion.

As long as you can help the Jiaozhou battalion, as long as you can not make trouble in this group, the Jiaozhou battalion can still do it regardless of the past suspicions and let it go.

What's more, this Auman is still a foreigner, even if he has done something, it is on the continent thousands of miles away. It has nothing to do with the Jiaozhou battalion, as long as he can be loyal to the Jiaozhou battalion, then Li Meng doesn't care about anything.

After listening to Dunglass's story, Li Meng nodded calmly, and said with a smile:

"How, exactly. You still have to listen to him talk about his ins and outs before you can decide to use it, Deng Yangren, there is a sentence that Ben Shuai will say hello to you first. If you are homesick, the guard team of the inner house still lacks a team mate, if you are willing to come, I am willing to help. ”

From the deputy commander of the water battalion to the deputy of the escort team, this is a series of several levels, Dunglas seems to have been suddenly stabbed, and immediately obeys the order.

Li Mengdi's attention turned to the German mercenary Aumann, about his demeanor. All the information that could be gathered was continuously gathered on the side of the general army yamen.

In the Jiaozhou battalion system, there are also many interpreters who know Franco, and several of them have studied with Father Federer and Dunglas, and they follow Auman every day, although this Auman is a German mercenary, but he knows a few foreign languages.

This shows that there is a problem with his identity, you know, the level of universal education in Europe is even lower than that of the Manchus outside the Guanwai. Able to read and write. There are people of some cultures who are either rich or noble, or clergy in the church. As for the self-proclaimed mercenary, Auman has such knowledge, which is really shocking.

However, the Jiaozhou battalion did not take this suspicion seriously, because there were too many problems in the rest of the land, for example, Ouman often asked the soldiers in blunt Chinese, and often went to the surrounding villages and towns to ask the local residents.

Shandong's soldiers and horses, not to mention anything else, this military discipline is really beyond reproach, although the barracks are far away from the towns, but the occasional dealings are all praise for the discipline of the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion. Auman was not sure about this answer, and asked around.

And according to the observation of several intelligence officers, this Ouman should not be the first time to come to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, although his Chinese is quite jerky, but in some small details of life, he seems to be very skillful, and there is a bold but uncertain speculation that Ouman may have been to Shandong.

"My lord, I came here to find a military with strict military discipline and a sense of honor."

After talking with Deng Yangren for three days, Li Meng took the priests Federer and Dunglas, as well as Wang Hai, the leader of the personal army, and Tang Er, the commander of the horse team, to the experimental camp.

Called Auman from the Duchy of Saxony to the lobby and raised a few suspicious points, this Ouman had no intention of concealing it, and explained his intentions straight to the point.

After knowing that his identity was not an adventurer, the pro-military battalion led by Wang Hai strengthened Li Meng's defense work, and the officers of the experimental battalion also sent escorts, and the lobby that was summoned could be said to be murderous, and ordinary people and even ordinary soldiers were not too comfortable on this occasion.

For example, Father Federer always felt a little cold, and Dunglas leaned back as much as possible, while Auman, who was wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier of the Jiaozhou battalion, stood there, but he was calm and talked eloquently, which showed his quality and extraordinary.

This state made Li Meng even more appreciative, and he also said straightforwardly:

"My army in Shandong has strict military discipline, and they all have the determination to serve the Jiaozhou battalion and defend the country, it should be the kind you are looking for, but you also want us to listen to your experience, tell the truth, see what you can do for the Jiaozhou battalion, and the commander will decide whether to keep it."

The dialogue between the soldiers does not need so much red tape, and Auman, who is already much cleaner than when he came, made a military salute in imitation of the non-commissioned officer etiquette of the Jiaozhou battalion, and stood in the hall and talked eloquently.

"When the Swiss began to work as mercenaries, the German peasants began to go to various parts of Europe to do this kind of work, but since they were mercenaries, they were different from soldiers in nature, they fought for money. The warriors of Germany no longer have the glory of the knights of the Holy Roman Empire, especially the mercenaries of my homeland, the Duchy of Saxony. ”

The people in the whole hall listened attentively, and there were all kinds of new things in the West thousands of miles away, and Auman was not telling any anecdotes, his expression was very solemn.

"More than a hundred years ago, a mercenary veteran who wanted to restrain his mercenaries was killed by his mutinous subordinates. After that, the mercenaries of the Duchy of Saxony were disgraced to my homeland...... I am the heir to a bankrupt aristocracy, my ancestors were glorious knights, and I want to be a mercenary with honor. ”

In the following narrative, Auman slowed down a lot, obviously because he didn't want to recall the past, but he also knew that if he really wanted to serve the Jiaozhou battalion, he would like to serve the troops. You have to talk about your own experience.

"I have family education and experience in the standing army, and my mercenary team has fought more and more battles, and more and more people have gathered to me, and at the most, I have also commanded a mercenary brigade of more than 10,000 people."

Speaking of which. Li Meng glanced at Dunglas who was standing on the side, and saw that this Deng Yangren was already in awe, but Ouman over there had stopped talking, and many of the words in Ouman's narration were replaced by his mother tongue. Father Federer on the side made an interpreter, Wang Hai listened attentively, suddenly stopped, and couldn't help asking:

"What's next?"

Auman cleared his throat and said with difficulty:

"After my troops killed thousands of mercenaries, fellow Germans, in a battle, my men mutinied and expelled me because I did not allow them to plunder the civilian population.

"Speaking of which. Auman's usually calm mood finally fluctuated, and he said loudly in a louder voice:

"The Germans were supposed to be a nation, a country, inheriting the glory of the Holy Roman Empire, but now they are dozens of scattered small states, attacking each other and consuming themselves."

Because the speed of speech is a bit fast. Father Federer couldn't even keep up with his translation. After a slight pause, Auman calmed down again. Said lightly:

"I'm just a mercenary without a title, I've lost my place in Europe, and I don't want to go to other countries to fight the German mercenaries all over Europe again, I can only come to the East with my ideals and look for a well-disciplined army."

Deng Yangren had always stood by Li Mengdi's side, and at this time he was coming forward to explain that if Ouman really did as he said, there would be no more than ten people in Germany, and the matter of military discipline he said was indeed the actual situation. According to Deng Yangren's observations, this Auman does not seem to be telling a lie.

The next thing is related to the observation of the Jiaozhou battalion intelligence system, Auman followed a merchant to Macau a year and a half ago, but the Dutch merchant did not die, but left for Indonesia. In Europe at this time, rumors about the East were close to myths.

Many philosophers and scholars portrayed the great empire of the East as a morally perfect paradise, a depiction that lasted until the eighteenth century, and the great thinker Voltaire still insisted on this argument. Auman was influenced by these theories, hoping to find an army with morality and a sense of honor in the Ming Empire.

In Macau, Auman followed the merchants and missionaries from Europe, constantly going to the coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty, and seized the opportunity to go to the mainland, but now it is the last days of the Ming Dynasty, chaotic, full of warlords and private soldiers, or militia townsmen, these people can talk about military discipline and sense of honor. Compared to the chaos of mercenaries in Europe, they can also be called equal, each other.

Extremely disappointed, he was already ready to go to the Americas for the rest of his life, who would have thought that by chance, he heard someone talking about Shandong, saying that the army in Shandong was different from the armies in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, and it could almost be called moral perfection. Galliston became interested.

Because the Lingshan private port is almost the only port where the maritime merchants who travel to and from the north dock, the ships of the Zheng family and the merchants of various Chinese and foreign merchants, and the sailors on the ship have experienced, and all kinds of Lingshan private ports have seen and heard, and occasionally there are descriptions of the Jiaozhou camp, but they happen to echo Auman's ideals.

Upon receiving the news, Auman's interest grew, and he had worked as a temporary sailor. I have been to Shandong with the ship and stayed in the private port of Lingshan for a few days.

The foreign merchants went inland, the farthest could only go to Fengmeng Town, where they consumed and had fun, there was an army guarded nearby, but there was martial law all around, and ordinary people could not approach it at all, Ouman saw this. There was an affirmation in my heart.

The army barracks he saw in the rest of the Daming cities were as lively as bazaars, soldiers and civilians were in and out, and the generals were said to live in luxurious mansions in the city, and they were not willing to have too much contact with the soldiers at all, so it is conceivable what kind of combat effectiveness such an army could have.

You can't get close to the barracks, but you can see the style of armed salt. The appearance of the armed salt soldiers, their armor, and their mannerisms have already shocked Ou Man, and the troops who maintain law and order on weekdays are already like this. What the regular army will look like is really exciting.

Auman also knows that if he rashly takes refuge, the other party will not gladly accept it. On the contrary, he was suspicious and suspicious, and when he was racking his brains, he received news that Father Federer was recruiting people to go to Shandong.

Macau and Nanyang are also a paradise for white adventurers, there are many pirates, mercenaries and the like, and Auman also has some dealings with them, these people are all sneering at Father Federer's recruitment, thinking that it is not a good choice at all, only Auman himself is secretly happy in his heart. Decide to join.

The tall and red-bearded Auman spoke in the hall, and Li Meng didn't care much about the content in the back, but he found that although this Ouman's voice was blunt, he was still proficient in Chinese, and it seemed that he had made a lot of preparations in order to join the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Wait until that's all said. On the side, a leader of the Shandong Salt Gang nodded at Li Meng. The ringleader had followed the ship to Macau, what problems did Auman mention. What can be confirmed is clear.

After receiving this news, Li Meng smiled and said to Ou Man, who was standing there:

"That's good, but I don't know how to do it, Xiaohai, pick a guard and try Auman!"

Wang Hai stood aside, and when he heard the commander's order, he immediately turned his head and glanced at the queue standing on the side, and pointed out a personal soldier to come out of the ranks.

Maybe seeing that Ou Mandi is tall, the personal soldier he chose is also a tall and sturdy type, and the cold weapon engagement of the Jiaozhou battalion is mainly based on spearmanship. Auman and this pro-soldier both chose a long stick to compete, and in the martial Jiaozhou battalion, this one-on-one competition always attracts the attention of most people.

Both the soldiers and the scribes in the hall were staring intently at the middle of the hall that had been cleared.

The spear combat skills of the Jiaozhou battalion are improved from the ground bayonet tactics of the People's Liberation Army, and the emphasis is on the swing of the arms and the coordination of the pace, and when the forward stab, it bursts out with speed and strength to kill and injure the enemy.

The pro-soldier had already posed in advance and was ready to exert his strength, while Auman pointed the long stick in his hand with a flat front end, looking very relaxed.

Someone shouted over there to start, Li Meng's pro-soldier shouted, and stabbed the long stick in his hand forward, almost at the same time as he exerted his strength, Ou Man's body was on the side, his arms trembled, and the long stick became a slight angle, and the long stick of the pro-soldier stabbing forward was full of strength, but Ou Man put this angle and force, just to open the spear of the front stab.

This spear thrust has always been about going and not returning, and sending all its strength, so that it can be swift and strong, but there is also a problem, and the follow-up action response is slightly slower.

But when the Jiaozhou battalion was advancing in formation, dozens or hundreds of spears stabbed forward in unison, and the other party had no chance to toss and turn, but in front of them were two one-on-one.

Ou Man just used the static braking action, but now he was fast, and his body rushed in a slightly oblique direction, the long stick in his hand had already pointed to the opponent's Adam's apple, and the long stick of the pro-soldier was still in the process of recovery.

The victory and defeat have been clear, except for Li Meng in the house, Wang Hai and the rest of the Jiaozhou battalion soldiers are not good-looking, this foreign monk is really good at chanting scriptures, that day that Dunglas relied on the axe and gun to win several soldiers, why this mercenary Auman won again.

Tang Er, who had not made a sound, stepped forward, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang Hai, who was pale, he turned around and took a long stick, and was about to go down in person, he could see the other party's movements clearly, and knew that this ghost was proficient in martial arts. You should be able to win it when you come out, but the subordinate of Fang Cai is really too inexperienced.

As soon as Wang Hai moved, Li Meng hadn't spoken, but Ooman leaned over and put down his weapon, bowed down and said:

"General, such a competition is meaningless, and personal bravery on the battlefield is meaningless in the battle of the army. I am forty-five years old, and I have been training with a sword since I was seven years old, and I have been training hard, and I naturally have some advantages in the competition with this young guard. ”

Before he could say this, Li Mengyang stopped Wang Hai's actions with his hand, and asked with interest:

"What do you think makes sense!?"

"General, it is the team that decides the outcome on the battlefield. It's the formation, it's the morale, these are not things that one person can do, but the work of a collective, and everyone is just a part of the collective. They cannot have a will of their own, everything they do is to serve the goals of the entire army! ”

In fact, Li Meng has always done this, but he has not synthesized it in such a way. Many words need to be translated and explained by Father Federer, and the room full of warriors are moved, and everyone has similar thoughts in their hearts, but it is the first time that they have been said so comprehensively.

Li Meng stretched out his hand and patted the armrest beside him, and said to Wang Hai on the side with a smile:

"Xiao Hai, whether this ghost is what he said or not, can say this. This person is worthy of our acceptance, and he is indeed a talent! “

Although Wang Hai was a little indignant on his face, he still nodded, it is indeed very admirable to be able to synthesize the actual situation into a theoretical person, the theory that Auman said is actually the concept of the modern army, and the Jiaozhou battalion. Although it is now the training of the modern army. The idea is still very old.

Suddenly being told by someone with an outline, the shock in my heart can be imagined.

"General. I've seen your troops these days, and the formation is almost the same as on the European side, but there are still problems with the queue and some basic movements. “

The queue and the basic movements, this is where the Jiaozhou camp is proud, and now it is actually said by a newcomer, "There is still a problem", even the scribes in the room know the power of this sentence, and the warriors are even more dumbfounded, and the hall is immediately quiet.

In this quiet, Li Meng leaned back in the chair and laughed, he could hear that he was in a very comfortable mood, but the people in the room were a little strange, I don't know what the handsome man was laughing at, Li Meng stopped quietly, pointed to Ou Man, who had always maintained a solemn posture, and said:

"You're a talent, and I've decided to make you my subordinate!"

As soon as he said this, everyone understood that this Auman was also favored by the handsome and decided to accept it, although Ouman was calm, he still showed a smile on his face, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed.

Li Meng sat behind the bookcase, smiled and said loudly:

"Since you want to be a member of my Jiaozhou battalion, then you have to follow a rule in everything, you ask Master Fei, what should I do when I see me on the ground in the Jiaozhou camp!?"

Father Federer, who had been working as an interpreter on the side, stepped forward and whispered a few words, and the expression on Auman's face, who had always been quite reserved and proud, changed, and he could see that he was a little complicated and a little embarrassed. However, this hesitation did not last long, and he took two steps forward.

Ou Man stood there, looked around, and looked at Li Meng who was smiling in the hall, his knees bent, and he knelt on the ground, and the next movement of this kneeling was much faster, his hands on the ground, he knocked nine heads, and said loudly in quite stiff Chinese:

"Mark Auman. Garris sees the handsome, the handsome Wan'an, in the future, the villain is willing to die for the handsome, liver and brain, and never give up!! ”

This is absurd, and when a few idioms are spoken, Father Federer on the side has to prompt him, which is what he stumbles over.

"Okay, Auman, you are the person of my Jiaozhou battalion, someone will teach you military discipline, meritorious service should be rewarded, crime should be punished, my Jiaozhou battalion is clear everywhere, as long as you do it well, you will naturally have a great future."

Li Meng nodded slightly and said, this foreigner does have real talent and learning, but the procedure of kowtowing must also be followed, foreigners are ghosts, and when they see nobles in Europe, they have to kneel, and when they see the emperor and the pope, they even have to kneel down and kiss the soles of their shoes.

The so-called Westerners are only half-kneeling and refuse to bend their knees and kowtow. It was in the Qing Dynasty that the envoys of the British Empire looked at the Qing Dynasty, which was a foreign power and a cadre in the middle, and did not feel the need to kneel, arguing that the etiquette of the two countries was different.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the weakening of China made the Chinese people have many unrealistic ideas about the West, such as the behavior of Westerners is extremely polite and self-respecting. rarely scolds and beats people, the reason why there is such an idea is nothing more than the extreme disparity in national strength, plus those who went abroad back then were talents, and they all went out, which inevitably gave the Chinese people a feeling that foreigners were the same as them.

In addition, the writers who translated the works were all beautiful and gentle, and the sentences of the articles translated by them were naturally beautiful.

In the case of such a false rumor. In the eyes of the Chinese people, foreign countries are naturally the country of etiquette and the civilized world.

Incidentally, the foreign countries that everyone often talks about comparing with China are nothing more than the developed countries of Europe and the United States, plus Russia and Japan, and the broad masses of people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are generally not among the comparisons.

At the moment, there is no gap between East and West. In the hearts of savage white people, the Ming Empire is still a symbol of civilization, and Li Meng is a powerful faction, these wandering white mercenaries kneel and kowtow like the Chinese people. But they didn't feel embarrassed.

Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion all salute on weekdays, and everyone is a brother who works hard together, and they don't pay attention to so much etiquette.

It's just that today, this Ouman can be regarded as being accepted by the Jiaozhou battalion, and this kneeling and kowtowing ceremony can be regarded as going through a ceremony and completely surrendering to Li Meng's command. Obey commands. Kowtowed nine times, whether there was a transgression, whether it was unruly, no one cared about this.

Unlike Dunglas, Auman's true talent and learning were evident from the beginning, and he himself said that he had commanded 10,000 troops in the past, and if he was let go as it was, his status would be even higher than that of Zhang Jiang and others, the newly promoted core generals. This is not a good thing for the Jiaozhou battalion system, which is promoted in strict accordance with the military merit system.

But there are warriors with such talents. If you do it step by step from below, it will be a bit wasteful. After all, this Auman. Garris is also in his forties, and it is unrealistic to come from the grassroots level.

"Since I have already entered my Jiaozhou camp, let's go, let's go and see what shortcomings you said first, my queue and combat skills, rely on him, but it is rampant in the world."

If there is a problem with the appointment, then try his actual combat skills, whether it is a mule or a horse, and it will be natural to understand when you pull it out.

With Li Meng coming here, the civil and military people here have different eyes on Auman, everyone knows that this Auman will definitely be bad in the future, at least the starting point will be much higher than that lazy Dunglas, but under the envious, eager, and jealous eyes of everyone, Auman is very indifferent.

This kind of free attitude makes everyone's evaluation of him a higher level, honor and disgrace are not shocked, this still reflects the quality of people, if Deng Yang is replaced, I am afraid that he will already be arrogant.

The 2,000 officers and men of the experimental battalion on the school field are already standing there, and if they are all officers after the pro-military battalion goes out, then the non-commissioned officers who go out of the experimental battalion are considered inferior military schools, and those who have performed well in the experimental battalion are either sent out to serve as officers, or they are receiving further training in the pro-military battalion.

It is indeed a waste for these experienced veterans not to be enriched into the troops, but this experimental battalion can implement the ideas of Li Meng and the generals below as quickly as possible, and if the results are obtained, they will be quickly promoted to the entire Jiaozhou battalion, and this role can be greater than that played by 2,000 veterans.

Aumann, who had received permission, stood on the school grounds, and Father Federer was still by his side as an interpreter, accurately translating his orders into Chinese passwords. Two thousand people is the establishment of two battalions, of course, it is used for the exercises of the two armies, and the Auman side naturally has to have an opponent, and Wang Hai on this side is the commander of the hostile side.

Auman selected 900 soldiers, and the remaining 1,100 were handed over to Wang Hai, here is not more than firearms, both sides are spearmen, Auman used fewer soldiers than Wang Hai, and in doing so, it is clear that he has the certainty of victory, but the side with less wins more, and the side with less is certainly not small.

But this party felt that there was fire in his heart, although Wang Hai had been a lot calmer in recent years, but the other party's behavior still made him feel despised.

Fighting with stragglers and squares is looking for death, and after watching the soldiers lined up in a thirty by thirty square on the Ouman side, Wang Hai pondered here. The lower arrangement was also changed, the phalanx was twenty-five by forty, and the remaining one hundred men were cruising around the perimeter as a maneuver.

The exercise is different battlefields, especially such a tactical exercise, although Wang Hai's side is ready, but Auman's side still needs some time, Wang Hai is full of anger waiting there, seeing Auman and Father Federer in front of the square team together. Several officers seemed to be arguing about something.

There is a pile of earthen platforms around this school field, which is convenient for better observation of the drills on the school field, in which Li Meng looks intently at the preparations below. His fingers were unintentionally knocking on the table, and Yuan Wenhong, who was standing behind him, followed for a long time, but he knew that this was why Dashuai was hesitant and was thinking about it.

Soon both teams were ready and raised their flags towards this side. A herald questioned Li Meng, and immediately flipped the black flag in his hand up and down and issued an order.

The two teams were two hundred paces apart, both with spears upright, facing each other. The order to start the battle was given, both sides gave the order at the same time, the drums sounded, and the two squares slowly approached.

See these. Li Meng was vaguely proud in his heart, Ouman and Dunglas were the generals they had seen in Europe, Ouman's tactics should be the land used by the West at this time, in this era, the military technology of the European continent has begun to get rid of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't imagine that my own arrangement is actually in line with this advanced secret.

However, he also regretted in his heart that when Qi Jiguang was training in the army, he wrote military books such as "Ji Xiao Xinshu". The description in it and the soldiers and horses trained by Qi Jiguang back then also walked in the direction of the infantry phalanx.

Qi Jiguang and Machiavelli, the talents of the East and the West attached equal importance to the training system of infantry squadrons from a theoretical height, which is considered to be the beginning of modern military affairs.

But Qi Jiguang's training was just a flame that was quickly extinguished, and Europe went in this direction step by step, and now, Li Meng relied on his knowledge and theories that transcended the times. and is slowly narrowing this gap.

Wang Hai ordered loudly. The speed of his phalanx remained the same, and the drums beat non-stop. But the hundred-man squad began to accelerate, and the hundred-man squad could maintain a much faster speed than the large phalanx, and the hundred-man squad began to accelerate with its spears diagonally raised.

It's just that this acceleration run is not a frontal impact, but a diagonal line, running towards the left flank of the phalanx led by Auman, the smaller the number of the team, the higher the speed can be guaranteed, the team is not chaotic, this hundred people trot, compared to the slowness of the spear phalanx, can already be called flying.

The generals and soldiers in the field were all knowledgeable, and Tang Er, the commander of the horse army standing behind Li Meng, said in a low voice:

"Dashuai, the two teams will walk almost fifty steps further, Wang Hai's team will be able to reach the left flank of the foreigner, and when the time comes, the foreigner's team will be defending the enemy on both sides, not to mention that Wang Hai's team has a larger front and stronger attack power, this time, Wang Hai's chances of winning are not small!"

Wang Hai and Tang Er have been working together for many years, and they naturally have a tendency to speak, Li Meng stared at it, but laughed out loud, and teased:

"Attacking the left flank of the phalanx, have I taught you, there is no one in the drill code, Xiaohai will learn and use it now, then Ouman's opinion is said, he can use it directly, you said that if you win with the other party's method, how should the victory be calculated."

After speaking, he shook his head and laughed a few times, of course, Wang Hai can deal with it so flexibly, which also makes him happy, the number of soldiers and horses in the old battalion is twice as many as that of the armies stationed in various places, and every time there is an expedition, there is always a deputy general, Wang Hai can have such a level, naturally he is relieved.

Although Tang Er was the leader of the horse team, his judgment was indeed accurate, and sure enough, the speed of the two approaching brigades remained the same, but the hundred-strong squad had already circled the flank of the Auman team.

There are still 100 steps between the two sides, and the Auman team is about to face the enemy on both sides, and in the case of Wang Hai's team, I am afraid that the Auman team will collapse soon.

At this moment, the marching drums of the Auman team suddenly stopped, and an officer of the team gave a loud order, "Turn to the right~~!" "After the Auman team stood in place, they all went to the right.

The drum sounded again, and he pounced towards the team on the right, but at this time, Li Meng's eyes widened, he got up from his seat and stared at the array of the two teams, and said to himself:

"This turn is faster than our phalanx!"

It was indeed a little faster, and the team on the opposite side had just lined up the formation, but they saw that Auman's phalanx had turned and pounced, and the speed of the turn was greatly beyond their expectations.

In a hurry, he could only raise the spear in his hand to face the battle, the battle of the spear phalanx had been practiced many times, everyone was a flat-ended spear, who would have thought that the soldiers of the Auman phalanx used some stiff movements, leaned forward and bent down, bent the spear with the left arm, and held the tail end with the right hand, and moved forward in small steps.

This kind of action is completely out of line with the common sense of the Jiaozhou battalion, and the soldiers of the hundred-man squad suddenly found that if they were so close, although the two sides used wooden sticks of the same length, the other party's posture seemed to make the spear grow a piece, and when they stabbed it, they would definitely be stabbed first......
