The soldiers of the city guards who were full of frustration sat together, most of the guys who had participated in the competition were white, and some of them had blue noses and swollen faces, compared to the excitement when the competition began, no one was interested in talking at this time, and even Cheng Shouru didn't have the mind to see the jokes of his subordinates before.
Only Li Xuan still had the spirit chattering, "Brothers don't have to be like this, Luo Jiazaburo is a powerful warrior, you all know that Pei Jiazalang was defeated by him with one move, and he also trampled on his limbs." You think, as the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, how can his subordinates be mediocre? Losing to others, there is nothing to be wronged ......"
"Damn, Li Twelve, shut up." Wu Laosan, who used to make noise on the city wall, couldn't help it, and called Li Xuan's ranking, Li Xuan ranked twelfth in the Li family branch, this branch is actually a surname, not the Li family's bloodline, this is known to everyone, but few people usually call it like this.
Cheng Shouru was worried that Li Xuan would be angry, so he had to answer: "Brother Xuan, you are not a soldier, you don't understand this, it's not that everyone can't afford to lose, but the loss is too miserable, I watched it when I withdrew, the battle loss of 1 to 5 or 1 to 6, or people carelessly didn't look down on us, otherwise it would be even worse." ”
Li Xuan is indeed not a soldier, although he also practices martial arts, "Lao Cheng, is it so exaggerated?" I just think the big guys are strong, and they take advantage of their weapons......"
"It's useless, even if we use the same weapon, we're not opponents." Cheng Shouru was very frustrated, "Do you know? From the beginning of contact with the battle, I was counting, and I only counted two hundred, and all of our people were wiped out. ”
Li Xuan's mouth grew, he really didn't expect that it would only take such a short time.
It's no wonder that Luo Jia Saburo didn't have much spiritual command at that time, and he wasn't even interested in paying more attention to it.
After being quiet for a while, Li Xuan couldn't help it, "I'm not a soldier, but I don't know what's the use of you being so depressed, Luo Jia Saburo is not an enemy, and even if he is defeated, what if he is defeated?" Follow the others, there are few ancestors in our craftsman camp who can ride horses, and now they can also ride horses? Look at you all one by one...... I, I'm too lazy to talk about you, I'm going to the ancestor's side. ”
When he was done, he turned around and left.
Leaving behind a bunch of dumbfounded guys who were said to be dumbfounded.
"Wow, damn Li Shishilang, we have a large group of stupid soldiers, and we have been taught a lesson by a white-faced scholar who sells his mouth all day long!" Wu Laosan reacted and screamed nonsense.
"Even a little white face dares to teach us a lesson!"
"I'm sorry, it's you who taught you a lesson, you see your face is all over the blue, and you look like a coward!"
"You're no better, white dirt!"
“…………”
"Shut up, what about you, just jump fast, Wu Laosan!" Cheng Shouru couldn't stand it anymore, and these bastards had to fight by themselves if they continued to quarrel.
Seeing that the "General" was angry, a group of soldiers who had been hit gradually calmed down, no matter what happened in normal times, there was also a noise behind the scenes, but when there was serious things in front of him, Cheng Shouru still had some prestige.
"No matter what Li Xuan said, in short, what people said was right. Luo Jia Saburo is not an enemy, if he can't beat people, he has to learn from people, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Seriously, when you meet an enemy, you are hacked to death with a knife in vain, and then you are ashamed. I went back to Dongyue Temple to report to the temple, and we laughed at you underground. , "Cheng Shouru is the head in the end, and there is a set of things to say." The state religion of the Tang people is Taoism, so it is about life and death is also a Taoist legend that is believed, and the god in charge of life and death in the Tang Dynasty is the god of Mount Tai, and the title is called Dongyue Emperor.
"How do you learn? It is said that Luo San's registration is over, and he is no longer recruiting. ”
"That's right, I wanted to go there and practice......"
"Shut up, you pointy head, you know how to drill around, do you see how people eat over there?"
"I know that the school yard is being leveled over there, and a large area has been newly repaired, and the big men who are practicing with us today, in addition to being supervisors, have to practice for a while every day."
"Then let's learn ...... too"
"Alright, listen to me." Cheng Shouru cleared his sweet throat, and the feeling of internal organ concussion had not gone down, "Zhou Pingchuan, Wu Zhenyu, Min Defu...... A few of you discuss a plan for the whole training, and when we go back, we will settle down and start the training. It's okay to say, who will be lazy and hide in the future, and the military stick will wait! ”
gave the task of training to a few lieutenants, and he ignored these guys who began to complain again, he remembered that there was another competition, and maybe he could win back a game, so he learned from Li Xuan and left alone.
These skinless and faceless guys, there should be a black-faced guy to clean them up.
Damn, in the past few years, there are only a few little thieves on weekdays, and they are all slacking, maybe this is also the reason why the elders accept the help of Luo Jia Saburo, right?
The people who were originally watching around had already dispersed, and Cheng Shouru, who was thinking about things while walking, and Lao Luo met on the way.
"Brother Cheng, where is this going?" Lao Luo happened to see Cheng Shouru's dejected expression.
"Big Luo, it's still your people. I'm convinced! Cheng Shouru is unwilling to admit defeat, but the situation is not as good as others, and the opponent is not of any different race, so he has no reason to play tricks and not admit defeat.
"Brother Cheng laughed, the city guards are negligent in training, but my soldiers train every day, and they are really invincible. If you are interested, you may wish to compare it again when you are ready to train in Japan. Lao Luo didn't want to see a fellow traveler who had lost his soul, so he said a few casual words, which can be regarded as boosting morale, not to mention that the road back to the east is long, and if you mobilize more strength, you will be stronger, so why not do it.
"It's okay, the coming day will be long, and I will definitely compare again!" Cheng Shouru went down when he saw the steps, and it was really Lao Luo who said that he was in his heart.
"But this third game... Do you need to compare it again? Lao Luo's expression couldn't help but be a little teasing.
"Than! How can I not compare, I am inferior to you in terms of force, and I have to take care of the march and behavior. Cheng Shouru usually manages thousands of soldiers and has to supervise the trivial affairs in the city, of course, he noticed Lao Luo's expression at a glance.
"Good!" Lao Luo agreed loudly, he was worried that this Lao Cheng lost two games and lost his guts, and now it seems to be really good, soldiers, no matter what era it is, there should be this kind of strength not to admit defeat, the kind of military spokesman who has no courage in later generations, he is a literary and artistic soldier.
After a while, the two of them found Li Xuan and the old soldiers of the Li family, who knew how to do military affairs, and the old men Li Tan and Du Ne were also watching the battle on the side, putting the map of the East Road on the side, each holding dozens of small flags, each flag is equivalent to a team of 100 people, this is a simple marching chess.
Although it is not as intuitive and practical as the sand table calculation of later generations, it also has the same effect with the various settings spoken by the middle man next to it.
The first formation, the terrain of the canyon, Cheng Shouru led a team of 5,000 soldiers to defend according to the van, Lao Luo pretended to be a cavalry of 5,000 people to attack, Cheng Shouru made the car into a line, front and back to each other, platoon crossbow defense, Lao Luo with the help of the terrain to break the defensive line of the van with falling rocks, hard fighting, Lao Luo's cavalry lost more than half, can only evacuate, Cheng Shouru crossbow soldiers lost more than half of the battle, the civilians who guarded were scattered, and the two compartments were careful, but the gains outweighed the losses, and the result was a draw by the Chinese.
The second formation, the plain terrain, Lao Luo defended, there were 100 partial vans and 1,200 rangers in his hands, Cheng Shouru pretended to be Turkic cavalry, led 10,000 troops, Lao Luo ordered a group of 10 partial vans to form a circular formation, ten groups of circular formations were distributed in dots, and the rangers were interspersed among them, Cheng Shouru's 10,000 cavalry could only be like a tiger biting a hedgehog, with nowhere to go, and finally was succeeded by Lao Luo's rangers sneak attack, and there was no one out of ten, and the result was naturally unsurprising, Cheng Shouru was defeated.
In the third formation, the tidal flats by the lake, Cheng Shouru defended, with 30 side vans, 2,000 spearmen, 2,000 archers, 5,000 civilians, 3,000 archers and cavalry and 3,000 herdsmen attacking. In this game, it can be said that Cheng Shouru will definitely not lose as long as he guards and defends, but what he didn't expect is that Lao Luo used the mangu gang style of archers and cavalry to attack, and used herdsmen to fish to maintain consumption, but fifteen days later, Cheng Shouru ran out of food, lost most of the soldiers, and failed miserably.
Fourth Formation......
Fifth Formation......
A total of eighteen formations were entangled, Cheng Shouru only had two games tied, and the rest no matter what kind of terrain or the number of troops, Lao Luo was victorious.
Cheng Shouru's face became more and more ugly, and his black face became whiter and whiter from the beginning of the test. In the last few rounds, because the terrain was repetitive, the offense and defense were out of position, he chose Lao Luo's dispatch, but he also ended in defeat.
It's really not that Cheng Shouru is not an excellent soldier, but he chose the wrong opponent, a guy like Lao Luo, even in later generations, is an outstanding soldier, well-informed, quick to react, plus now he is familiar with the routines of cold weapon warfare every day, his starting point is much more than that of soldiers in this era.
And it's not that Lao Luo doesn't let people do it, it's really that there is no humility in the way of the military formation, if Lao Luo is a soldier who knows how to be humble, then it is likely that he will not be an international mercenary. Only politicians have the concept of compromise, only students have the character of humility, and when soldiers start to pay attention to humility, it means that they begin to lose their backbones.
This kind of military formation drill is inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and several elders here also experienced it when they were young, but at that time, the style of play was basically decent, and the occasional surprise attack by the army would be regarded as a sword going off the edge and would not be taken seriously. Because the art of war at this time paid attention to "winning with righteousness and combining with odds", in fact, the former was much more valued, and the latter was always regarded as sophistry. Although there is a preface to Sun Tzu's Art of War as a warning, it is still not taken seriously as a custom inherited from the Tang Dynasty in the army.
In front of him, Lao Luo's performance in the military formation is varied, dazzling, many times they can't distinguish between a regular soldier and a strange soldier, and like an antelope hanging its horns, mountains, rivers and plants can be used to meet the enemy, which is really eye-opening for them.
The old man Li Tan, who was watching the battle, finally said a paragraph to conclude, "It's a good thing to be discouraged if you are defeated, but you need to calm down." Luo Sanlang, I don't have to worry about the safety of the eastbound road to you, but the military matter is not a one-person business after all. ”
Of course, Lao Luo knew very well the old man Li Tan's admonition, but he just asked him to unite his colleagues, but the old man was not a soldier after all, and he didn't understand the thoughts of Lao Luo, a soldier from later generations.
The old general who brought Lao Luo in later generations once had a comment that Luo Kaixian was a real soldier, but it was a pity that he was born in a peaceful era......
Of course, anyone can guess what he didn't say, Lao Luo is such a person, a very stubborn soldier, and now he has come to this era inexplicably, maybe it's not a bad thing, although it is difficult for Lao Luo to see his elderly parents again, but his character is the source of chaos in a peaceful country.
Lao Luo believes that the strong in the army have the right to speak, and the weak only have the future of obeying orders. An army is destined to have only one voice, and one more noise is in danger of collapsing. Negotiation and the like are destined to appear only in the whirlpool of politics, or in the ideas of businessmen.
So Lao Luo didn't care about the blow to Cheng Shouru, if Cheng Shouru couldn't accept the blow of defeat, then he would be excluded from the army, regardless of whether he was a general elected by the elders of the artisan battalion or not.
The army is a place where only strong people can survive.
Fortunately, after the military chess deduction was over, Cheng Shouru said to Lao Luo with red eyes: "Big man Luo, you win, I will listen to you in the training of the city guards and all the marching arrangements on the road, but I will defeat you in the deduction once in the future no matter what." ”
"Good! Lao Cheng, I'm waiting for you. You're good, you're a real soldier. "This is the first time that Lao Luo has recognized a soldier in this era, you must know that before this, even in the face of the sheriff Hecks in Ankara, Lao Luo's mentality was overlooked.
