(Ask for collection)

Everyone discussed it and finalized the details, so Li Xian arrived at the Sui army camp alone first, and everyone else was waiting in the predetermined place. This was done because Li Xian wanted to put forward conditions, but he didn't expect that he was worried that his subordinates would be transferred away and separated by Xin Shixiong, who knew that Xin Shixiong had made such a stupid decision that he didn't even have a chance to put forward the conditions. When he arrived at the distance of the camp, he was stopped by the rangers, Li Xian said that he had an appointment with Xin Shixiong, the general of the Zuotun Guard, and the rangers watched Li Xian enter the camp, and then left Li Xian to wait at the gate, and one person went in to report.

The company camp was too big, and it took an hour for that person to come back and bring Li Xian in.

In the camp, horses are not allowed, and Li Xian walked honestly and followed the person who led the way. Zuo Tunwei's camp was on the side close to Liaodong City, far apart, and it took half an hour to walk. Although Li Xian behaved very well along the way, he still looked at the scene in the Sui army camp carefully.

The barracks were in order, the soldiers were trained seriously, and there was no one laughing and scolding, and there was an air of slaughter.

All the way to Zuotunwei's camp, the soldier who led the way turned around and said politely to Li Xian: "You are here later, I will go in and report to the general." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

After a while, the man came out of the big tent and said to Li Xian: "The general is raising the tent to discuss matters, and you must not wander around the barracks later." ”

Li Xian nodded in thanks, and the man turned around and left.

This was half an hour, but Li Xian did not appear restless, nor did he show anger and dissatisfaction, but stood at the door and watched the soldiers in the open space not far away, as if they were in a trance. In the open space, thousands of spearmen and swordsmen were practicing formations, and in another place there were archers training archery.

The soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion are well-trained, and as far as those archers are concerned, there is absolutely no one who is indiscriminate. Li Xian looked carefully, and he found that so many archers, those who shoot targets alone, can almost hit the target within seventy steps. And the archers who practice together, with the command of the general, either diffuse or gather, the general commands the soldiers, like an arm and a finger.

After only looking at this for a while, Li Xian was quite shocked in his heart. He knew that the combat power of the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion was unparalleled in the world, so he could imagine that these soldiers must have been trained hard in peacetime. Although what he saw in his eyes was almost the same as what he thought in his heart, he was shocked that whether it was the combat ability of individual soldiers or the cooperation between soldiers, the performance of the soldiers was really breathtaking.

For example, the cooperation drill between the spearman and the Mo knife hand, Li Xian's eyes were almost round when he saw it.

In front of it are rows of straw men, symbolizing enemy troops. The spearmen rushed forward in a line, the first, second, third, and three rows of spearmen in a row formed the first attack, and the two rows of strawmen in front were immediately stabbed to the ground. At this time, from the gap deliberately left by the spearmen, the Pu Dao hand swarmed up and put the straw man behind him to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables. Then, Park's knife hand contracted, and the spearman slowly retreated in a phalanx after it was broken.

The spearman is the cheapest class of soldiers in the Great Sui Mansion. Each of them only had a half-body of leather armor on their bodies, and there was no battle skirt, and even if they were half-body leather armor, they could only barely protect the vital points. Their weapon was a spear with an iron spear on a wooden stick, which was cheap to build, but there was no doubt that they were the quickest of the Great Sui soldiers besides the light cavalry, and they were the best choice for both the assault unit and the broken rear troops. Moreover, although they were cheap, they were the most feared branch of the cavalry. The spears that were eight feet long, if they were lined up in a formation of spears, even the heavily armored cavalry would not dare to easily collide with them.

Although Li Xian was not a military enthusiast in his previous life, he was also an idler who mingled in various forums. He remembered seeing a post in which the Swedish pikemen were the nemesis of the cavalry, and that they could block feathered arrows by swinging their spears from side to side in a dense formation, and it was said that seventy or eighty percent of the feathered arrows could be swung out. I don't know if it's true or not, but obviously, since the Great Song Dynasty five generations later, weapons such as lances and horizontal knives began to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and spears became the kings on the battlefield.

Li Xian could actually guess that the reason why Xin Shixiong made him wait so long was just to give him a dismount. A few months ago, the Eighteen Cavalry made a splash on the east bank of Liaoshui, and snatched back the body of Mai Tiezhu, the general of Zuotunwei, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion on the west bank of Liaoshui. This can be regarded as a part of the revenge for the wheat iron rod, and this revenge should be avenged by Xin Shixiong, who is the successor of the wheat iron rod. He took over the Zuotun Guard, and the best way to serve the public was to avenge the wheat iron staff, although in the second battle of crossing the river, he personally led the army to charge and kill, and did not leave prisoners, and all the heads of the surrendered soldiers also won the respect of the Zuo Tun Guard, but after all, there were still some regrets.

Li Xian knew that his stunning appearance that day must have left a deep impression on Zuo Tunwei's people, and in the same way, Xin Shixiong must also know this.

Therefore, as a person who is about to be promoted to a general, in order to have absolute control over Zuotunwei, how can he not stand up for the arrival of a guy like Li Xian who makes the soldiers of Zuotunwei grateful?

Although, Li Xian was personally ordered by His Majesty to come to his Zuo Tunwei.

Li Xian is not in a hurry, anyway, he has something to do, and it is not a gain to be able to take such a close look at the training of the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion.

Xin Shixiong, the general of Zuotunwei, stood at the door of the big tent, opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing that the young man was standing not far away, staring intently at the soldiers in the open field, not in a hurry or impatient, he was quite appreciative of the young man's surname. His Majesty suddenly appeared in the barracks last night, but it scared Yuwenshu and them enough. Then His Majesty convened the courtiers overnight to discuss the matter, and ordered Yu Wenshu to be the head of the march, Liu Shilong to be the supervisor of the army, and mobilize a total of more than 300,000 troops from the left guard, the left Wuwei, the right guard, the left Xiaowei, and the left tunwei, and set out after the fifth day, and ran a long distance to join the general Lai Hu'er, who led the naval division to land, and attacked Pyongyang City.

Thinking of His Majesty's thunderous anger last night, Xin Shixiong still has lingering palpitations.

He had never seen His Majesty so angry.

Speaking of which, this time Yu Wenshu still commanded the expedition of 300,000 troops as the head of the march, and Liu Shilong was still the supervisor of the army, and it seemed that the holy family of the two people was still strong, but it was obvious that His Majesty was giving the two people a chance to make meritorious contributions. Especially Liu Shilong, the prison guard, if he makes any mistakes again, he is afraid that his career will come to an end. However, this long-distance attack by the partial division, there should be no mistake in common sense, the naval division of the general who came to Hu'er has landed, as long as the army stabs obliquely and kills the past to make peace with the naval division, hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to fight a small Pyongyang city? Back then, there were so many strong cities in Nanchen, as well as the Yangtze River moat, couldn't they stop the male soldiers of the Great Sui?

It's just that it's already July, and there is not much time left for the Sui army to fight in this bitter cold land in eastern Liaodong. According to common sense, snow will fly in this place in September, and the army will go on an expedition, and the supplies will not keep up, and if Pyongyang cannot be taken within two months, it will have to retreat and return.

As soon as he thought of this, he hated Liu Shilong so much that the roots of his teeth itched. If it weren't for the repeated obstruction of this bastard superintendent who didn't understand military affairs, Liaodong City would have been broken a long time ago, how could the million-strong army be delayed for three months? Therefore, Xin Shixiong was very helpless and dissatisfied with His Majesty's still taking Liu Shilong as the prison army this time. It's just that the civilian official is the supervisor of the army, which is the practice of the imperial court, and he can't say anything even if he is not satisfied.

His Majesty only gave five days to prepare, and this was an expedition without logistical supplies, and each soldier had to carry an average of about three stone of food, which was definitely a big burden for the soldiers. The mountainous roads in Goguryeo are difficult to travel, and it is indeed a very helpless choice to carry so much grain on the expedition, but the army has been doing nothing for three months after crossing the Liaoshui, and if it is not in time to conquer Pyongyang before winter, will it not be ridiculed?

Xin Shixiong understood His Majesty's hardships, but he didn't understand why he still let Liu Shilong, a literati who didn't understand military affairs, dictate.

Originally, he was depressed, but last night His Majesty left him alone and told him that Yan Yun, who killed the enemy and took the corpse on the east bank of Liaoshui, was going to work under his tent, and he was even more depressed.

Looking at Li Xian standing outside, Xin Shixiong couldn't help but think sourly, this kid was lucky to get His Majesty's favor!

Thinking that he had been in the army for so many years, the old general of Mai Tiezhu died, but he was still the general of Zuo Tunwei, not the righteous general of Zuo Tunwei!

Xin Shixiong originally wanted to embarrass the young man, but after all, this person was sent by His Majesty by his own order, if he was embarrassed, wouldn't it be embarrassing to His Majesty?

Seeing him standing at the door of the big tent in a daze, his subordinate staff Chen Qi knew what the general was embarrassed about, so he took a few steps forward, coughed and said, "The general is in a dilemma, how to arrange that Yan Yun?" ”

Xin Shixiong glanced back and sighed: "What is the best plan for Xuanmou?" ”

Chen Qinai is a Boling person, the word is mysterious, is a flexible person, won the trust of Xin Shixiong, when he said, it was he who persuaded Xin Shixiong to take the lead in rushing to the front, not to accept Goguryeo prisoners all cut off their heads to avenge the general Mai Tiecane, won the respect of the soldiers of Zuotunwei, Xin Shixiong will take over Zuotunwei so smoothly.

"What's so hard about that?"

Chen Qi stroked his beard and chuckled: "Since this young man is a person that His Majesty values, then the general only needs to lift him up." ”

Xin Shixiong didn't expect Chen Qi to say a nonsense, and said a little impatiently: "Could it be that I still repair him?" ”

Chen Qi said: "General, I mean...... Didn't His Majesty appreciate him, and the general also promoted him, gave him a false position that was neither high nor low, and treated him with great courtesy, but he was not allowed to contact the military, he could not be in the military formation, and he could not make meritorious contributions. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be extremely disappointed at that time. ”

Xin Shixiong's eyes lit up, and then he nodded again and again.

Outside the tent, Li Xian finally waited a little impatiently, he silently scolded Xin Shixiong in his heart and didn't know how many generations of ancestors, then squatted down, picked up a small wooden stick, and drew the method of training soldiers he had just seen on the ground. If he knew that Chen Qi had given Xin Shixiong this idea, he would have laughed so much that his stomach cramped, and then he would have said thank you to Chen Qi from the bottom of his heart.

Not far from Zuotunwei's camp, Yu Wenshi looked at the young man squatting on the ground writing and drawing, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, what a lot of energy! But after thinking about it, this young man is so stupid, maybe he can't see that Xin Shixiong is deliberately making things difficult for him.

He smiled and walked forward.

In that case, I'll help you once......
