Chapter Twenty-Six: Tensions
Xiao Yi let them practice formation all day, Xiao Yi knew that training in such a short period of time would not be successful, only to practice the formation of the mandarin duck formation, practice the team cooperation, and at night Xiao Yi asked each team to elect a temporary team leader, so as to coordinate and command in wartime.

These people who had been practicing all day were miserable, but when they saw Xiao Yi training with them, they never hid in the camp tent. Seeing Xiao the same, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted.
In the evening, Xiao Yi also dragged his tired body back to the camp. As soon as he lay down, Wang Dahu asked, "Big brother, is it useful to practice like this?" ”
Xiao Yidao said, "It's useful, it's much more useful than directly practicing slashing." ”
Seeing Xiao Yi answer, Wang Dahu also stopped asking, Shi Gang smiled and said, "I haven't been so tired for a long time, I'm also very tired, boys go to bed quickly, I have to train tomorrow!" ”
"Okay, Brother Shi!" This kid's name is Liu Sheng, this kid is also quite diligent in daytime training, he was kicked by Shi Gang in daytime training, but he didn't hold any grudges, and slowly fought with Shi Gang to get hot, and there is a way that smells like this.
In the past half a day, although Shi Gang is a conductor, the level of fatigue is not as bad as others, and Shi Gang's temperament has been figured out by everyone for a long time, looking rough, and he is still very easy to get along with.
Everyone joked about the meeting, and because they were too tired, they fell asleep one after another.
On the second day, the sky was just dawning, and the sun was just showing a little.
Lu Xiangsheng was here last night to deal with affairs, and he fell asleep here, but this morning he was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing. I thought there was a thief coming, so I hurriedly went out to check. But seeing that the soldiers around him were all gathered in twos and threes to watch something, Lu Xiangsheng's two younger brothers, Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin, and a bunch of generals were also watching, whispering something from time to time.
Lu Xiangsheng asked, "Youzhe, what are you all watching?" ”
Lu Xiangguan said with a slight smile: "My lord, you see, it is Xiao Yi's department that is practicing, some people say that Xiao Yi has been practicing with these hundreds of people since yesterday afternoon. ”
Lu Xiangjin also nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, I haven't paid attention to it yet, but who knows that Xiao Yi got up early today to practice." If all the battalions under his command are like Xiao Yi, we don't have to worry more about practicing volunteers. A hundred household officials laughed and said: "It's still an adult's discernment." Since then, the generals have continued to echo him.
Lu Xiangsheng looked, only to see more than 20 teams of people in constant drilling, Lu Xiangsheng looked at this formation and was constantly surprised, this formation not only gave full play to the advantages of the front of the spear, but also avoided the shortcomings of the spear could not defend against flank attacks, and every team of five people, it was the combat effectiveness of the small number of troops to the extreme. Could it be that this is the Mandarin Duck Array? It's so peculiar.
Xiao Yi stood on the small platform, holding the Qi family knife and frowning and watching the drills in the field, pointing at it with a knife for a while, and pointing at it with a knife for a while. Then Shi Gang and the others in the drill team stepped forward to correct their mistakes, demonstrated to them, and practiced together.
Xiao Yi glanced at the sky, fortunately, the sun is not big today, and it is even slightly cooler than yesterday, so this can be better practiced. After yesterday's day of drills, Xiao Yi felt powerless, this is still a newly recruited people's bravery, if it is replaced by those soldiers and ruffians who are used to being comfortable, Xiao Yi asked himself if he had the confidence to be able to practice in a few days. However, with these volunteers, the enthusiasm of the volunteers has been mobilized by themselves, and in addition to defending their homeland, the training is very hard and hard, and the results are very high.
Although there was only half a day of training yesterday, that half day was just practicing formation, and this morning, it didn't take much time to form a formation. Xiao Yi looked at the volunteers who were still training hard with rudimentary weapons in their hands, and felt that they were very incompetent, sorry for them, and when they had a reward, they would inevitably arm them and become one of their own private soldiers, soldiers who fought only for him Xiao Yi.
The clouds gradually cleared, and by noon, the sun was scorching again. The other Minyong were all lazily walking in the camp, and some playfully looked at Xiao Yi's Minyong, who was still practicing, and talked about it.
Some of the people even ridiculed,
"I really don't know what Xiao Ye is thinking, do you want to defeat the Tartars just by relying on the hundred people."
"That's it, isn't this in vain, what's the use of practicing for so many days."
This is not only the idea of some people, but also most generals and even Lu Xiangguan. Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangsheng also think so. Otherwise, Lu Xiangsheng would not have practiced the people's bravery. Lu Xiangsheng was only surprised when he saw Xiao Yi practicing like this, but he didn't care.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was December 19, the fourth day of Xiao Yi's practice. Early in the morning, Xiao Yi looked at the queue that was already a little rudimentary, and was relieved, these days of hard work were finally not in vain, and there was still some formation.
Xiao also knows what the most important thing is the army in later generations, that is, the soul of the army, and if an army wants to achieve the soul of the army, it must have an iron will, and the iron queue will stand still no matter what kind of blow it has withdre. When the army is on the march, it can be seen at a glance whether a strong army is still a weak brigade just by whether the queue is strictly organized or not.
Xiao Yi's main training in the past few days is the splitting of queues, the assembly and the speed of queues transforming into squad mode. Only when these most basic pre-drills come up, so that everyone in the queue seems to be one person, then there is the prototype of a strong army. Although the queue of the hundred-number people is still a little loose, the conversion speed is still slightly slower.
But compared to those other loose volunteers, it's much better. At least in the past few days, everyone has memorized their position, the role they play in the squad, plus the team leaders of each squad, Xiao also believes that the strength of these 100 people will be stronger than the normal strength of 200 volunteers!
On this day, Lu Xiangsheng was going to mobilize the whole army, and this morning he was already pulling out the camp. It shows that Lu Xiangsheng has recruited a full number of people, and Xiao also led his team of 100 people to the temporary school field. At this time, there was chaos here, and the people were running back and forth in a panic, and Lu Xiangsheng stood on the big platform early. And Lu Xiangguan, Lu Xiangjin stood behind him, and the three of them were wearing cotton armor that was rare in the army.
Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked at the chaotic venue, the assembly of 10,000 people at the end of the Ming Dynasty generally took a long time, and the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty generally had not been trained for a long time, and it was as rare as gathering once as a year. Not to mention these untrained people, even if the thousands of people in the Weisuo army are assembled, it will take at least a stick of incense.
Lu Xiangsheng had already planned in his heart to go outside to train the new army after this meritorious service, so he did not have any training for these people. Lu Xiangsheng suddenly saw a square team slowly moving forward, compared with the panicked people around him, this slightly neat square team was too neat and conspicuous.
Finally, the people were assembled. And the people on Xiao Yi's side had already assembled for a while, and the other people whispered, while the people on Xiao Yi's side watched the others running back and forth in a panic. The contempt in his heart had already been written on his face, and the rest of the people in the people also bowed their heads in shame.
Seeing that the assembly was finally completed, Lu Xiangsheng took a step forward with his saber in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "I, Lu Xiangsheng, thank you for not being afraid of your own An Wei and follow me into the Weijing Division, and when the time comes, I will definitely ask for a reward for everyone to show the emperor." ”
The generals below shouted in unison: "I am willing to guard the capital division with my lord!" ”
After that, Wan Minyong also followed, shouting: "I am willing to guard the capital with my lord!" ”
Although it is not neat, but the shouting of 10,000 people is also very loud, Lu Xiangsheng listened to the roar with satisfaction, this was discussed at last night's meeting, the purpose is to enhance the morale of the army, it seems that the effect is not bad.
Lu Xiangsheng beckoned, and immediately silently, Lu Xiangsheng drew his saber, pointed in the direction of the Beijing Division, and shouted with all his might, "The whole army is out!" Defend the Kyoshi! ”
On December 19 of the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan led 9,000 Guanning iron horses to gallop for more than 300 miles, and the emperor Taiji arrived at the gate of Guangqu in Beijing. On the same day, the general army of Datong, Man Gui, and the general soldier of Xuanfu, Hou Shilu, also led the army of Qin Wang to camp outside the Desheng Gate in Beijing. Qin Wangjun asked to go to Beijing for repairs, but was refused.
In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that the Qinwang army was not allowed to enter Beijing for repairs, and as a last resort, all the Qinwang troops were camped outside Beijing in a state of sleepiness and lack of horses.
At this time, a large army was already gathering outside Beijing, and it was already about to rise.
