Chapter 58: The Spear
I once had an idea to gather the directors of anti-Japanese dramas in China to watch Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", to see how foreigners' war films are made, I can't write about feelings and experiences, and I don't want to direct films from now on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"If you can't finish it, you have to finish it for Ben Gongzi, and Ben Gongzi doesn't have extra time for you." Lao Zhang suddenly became angry and said threateningly.
"Then ......" Mars obviously wanted to say that you should find someone else, but I stopped me, and I said: "As long as Childe can provide sufficient food and weapons at hand, it is not a problem to form combat effectiveness in a month, but I am afraid that Childe's weapon supply will not be able to supply it, and the plan will be broken." ”
"Ben Gongzi has already ordered the blacksmiths to hurry up to make weapons, and there will definitely be weapons for you to use when the time comes." Lao Zhang suppressed his anger and said a little calmer.
"What weapons does Childe plan to give these conscripts?" I asked, I thought back to the ancient war TV series I watched, I used to think about these questions, the spear seems to be the best defensive weapon, and the Donghai County and the White Turban Army have a huge disparity in strength, the first must be the defense of the East Sea County, therefore, these signs army needs spears, not fighting broadswords and broadswords, these ordinary people who have not undergone special training, it is impossible to compete with others with broadswords and broadswords.
The broadsword and broadsword were Lao Zhang's answers, and I was immediately disappointed, looking very disdainful, heavy weapons are a burden to the untrained civilians, and they must first save their lives.
Lao Zhang asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong with this?" ”
I didn't explain, and said: "Childe will prepare a spear for us, a spear that is two meters long, three meters, or even five meters, if Childe can provide us with a spear, I can guarantee that within a month, the combat effectiveness will be formed." ”
I remember that in ancient Europe there were spear phalanxes, which were effective against cavalry, and if I could form a spear square among the poorly trained civilians, who would not retreat and attack steadily, the rabble of white turbans would not be an opponent, as long as these people did not run away.
Running away is a taboo on the battlefield, as long as someone escapes, causing a rout, thousands of people will be slaughtered, but the battlefield does not care about your benevolence and morality, killing the enemy is the king.
"This ......" Lao Zhang's face was pale, the spear was not a weapon that was easy to build, let alone a spear three or five meters long, and the amount of iron consumed was not small.
The day before yesterday, Lao Zhang had sent the lord Bo Laoye to the iron ore mine in the north of Dalang Lake, and ordered the chief there, to step up the digging of the iron mine, so that he could produce the weapons and armor needed in the war in time.
Lao Zhang paused for a while, but still agreed, and asked: "Tell me what you think, my son will have a high opinion when he sees that you are a bamboo in his chest." ”
I said: "I can't tell you the truth, without the signs of special training to come to the common people slaves, a month of training is far from enough, whether it is combat skills, or physical strength, whether it is the spirit of victory, or the will to defeat, it is far from enough, therefore, only let these soldiers who are on the battlefield for the first time taste the fruits of victory, and despise the distance of death, so that they will not be afraid, will not be afraid to fight and run away, in order to form combat effectiveness step by step, I give them spears is to make them not easy to die, to eliminate their fear of death, But it can give the enemy heavy lethality. ”
Lao Zhang seemed to understand, and fell into the situation of thinking about the confirmation, recalling my reasoning, and then thinking of the conversation with other army commanders, and felt that what I said was really a golden rule, and was greatly shocked.
Mars is a little clear, I can't help but admire my admiration of the five-body throw, no elders have ever said such a theory before, it simply opened his eyes, re-understood the war, and made him feel as if victory was in his hands, which was intoxicating and comfortable.
Lao Zhang had already let go of the mustard at me and asked, "What else do you need, bring it up now." ”
You're welcome, the purpose of my visit is here, I said: "There are no defensive positions or training bases in the Far East Pass, I think we must build an impregnable defensive position, if the position is too cold, the sergeants don't know what they will think, and the military pay and food, as well as the death pension must be guaranteed, otherwise, they will not work hard, and the hearts of our Huoyue people will be more completely cold." ”
"Don't worry about this, my son guarantees that you get what you deserve, and Donghai County will definitely not deduct your military salary, food and salary on this." What Lao Zhang said was very confident, as if he still had a lot of gold, silver and grain in his Taishou Mansion.
"Childe just wants us to train the Levy Army, I don't know who Childe intends to appoint as the commander of the Levy Army?" I asked suddenly.
Lao Zhang seemed to know that I had such a question, and he was not surprised, and said quietly: "You have already met, it is the envoy of Donghai County, the uncle of this son. ”
If it were someone else, I would definitely have a whimsical idea, if it was Lao Zao, I didn't have anything to say, I felt that Lao Zao was a good person to deal with, there was no special big shelf, and the person was very sleek and shrewd, although it looked a little easy-going, but this is all an indication that how many cities are hidden in it, and I will only know if I look carefully in the future.
"Ben Gongzi, I will issue an order to promote the Mars General Banner to you as the Mars Battalion Leader, and also the Chief Instructor of the Levy Army, this son wants to congratulate the Mars Battalion Leader." Lao Zhang actually made a joke in the end.
Mars looked dazed, obviously he hadn't really agreed to Lao Zhang's request, and in his heart he was at war with heaven and man, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.
Lao Zhang's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Mars General Banner, aren't you happy about this position?" ”
Mars hurriedly said: "No, thank you for your love, my subordinates will live up to their trust." ”
"That's very good," Lao Zhang said with a smile on his face, "Tomorrow you will leave for Jidongguan, make some preparations first, General Lao Zao will bring people to take up his post in two or three days, and the day after tomorrow, when the time limit for signs arrives, two thousand sergeants will be drawn to your Jidongguan." ”
Although Lao Zhang said lightly, but it really has to be implemented, this is not a trivial matter, it is easy for me to go back to Jidongguan with Mars to prepare, and there is nothing to prepare, nothing more than looking forward to the arrival of General Lao Zao, how to treat him when the time comes, as for the arrival of two thousand sergeants, it is something that he Lao Zhang has to consider, two thousand sergeants eat, drink, Lazar and sleep, it is all troublesome things, and astronomical money and food, enough for him Lao Zhang's headache, if he still wants to expand the army, it is estimated that Lao Zhang's head will also be two big.
The sun is shining, there is no wind blowing, the wilderness is uninhabited, a not very formed mountain road is now and now extending between the hills, if it is not for these two galloping horses sitting on two people, it is estimated that this road does not know what year and month before someone passes again, if you don't go, it will be covered by thatch again, there is no road.
The two pegasus did not have the slightest intention of staying, rushing under the scorching sun, even if it was so galloping, it was still hot and sweaty, which was uncomfortable, however, if they did not gallop, it was better to rush under the scorching sun and rush to the destination as soon as possible.
When the two pegasus passed through a wood, they suddenly stopped, ready to take a break, these two unlucky people are none other than me and the Martian General Flag, no, I can't call the General Flag anymore, it's the camp leader, I am carrying the book of orders in my arms, why do I carry the book of orders in my arms, this is not surprising, the General Flag of Mars threw it away after reading the book, and I picked it up and put it in my arms.
With hot sweat and heat on my face, I said, "How far have you traveled, and how long will it take to reach Jidongguan." ”
"It won't be long, I've taken a shortcut, more than an hour at most," Mars said with emotion, looking at the scenery around him, "There is almost no road here, hey, I can't imagine that the road is gone for so long in this deserted Far East Pass." ”
