Chapter 181: Sudden Good News
Huang Zhong's army was the only large army in Liu Feng's army, and of course there were many types of troops. However, it is also generally the same as the troops of this era.
The largest number of spear battalions. The second was the Bow Battalion, followed by the Broadsword Battalion, and the weakest Scout Battalion. Some of the spies were also equipped with military horses.
The function of the spear battalion is to fight head-on. The Bow Battalion is a ranged class, and the Broadsword Battalion is used to advance at critical moments. Needless to say, the spy battalion is used to listen to the news.
It's huge, and it's very formal. Unlike Deng Ai and Zhang Guina's battalion, because of the number of people, there are only spear battalions, bow and arrow battalions, and a small number of spies.
At this moment, the school field is divided into several parts. There are soldiers from the spear battalion practicing the art of assassination, and there are also soldiers from the broadsword battalion who are slashing. Of course, there are also soldiers from the bow battalion who are contacting the bow and arrow.
To be honest, Liu Feng's experience in leading troops is limited to spearmen and swordsmen. The soldiers who broke the barracks were good at both, and the archers were very rare.
The first time I saw a large-scale archer training, I couldn't help but take a few more looks.
I saw a clearing in the open field, thousands of archers, carrying feathered arrows on their backs, pulling their bows, and shooting arrows forward. There was a cleared space in front of it, and in the center of the clearing, a green dragon flag was planted.
All the archers had to do was shoot their arrows into the open space.
Although it was the first time he saw the real thing, Liu Feng had read a lot of military books and had some understanding of the training of archers.
On the battlefield, archers don't really need to be crosshaired. Just follow the order and shoot an arrow in a crowded place. After all, as long as the arrows are shot, they can always hurt people.
Don't be crosshaired, but be quick, and whoever can shoot the most arrows in a short period of time is the elite.
Like the Huang father and son, there are only a few who can shoot a general from a distance of 100 meters with an oolong bow.
However, the specially prepared army that Huang Zhong said was obviously not this bow battalion.
Liu Feng and the others quickly walked through this open space and arrived at a corner of the school grounds. Liu Feng only felt that his eyes lit up, and there were about a hundred soldiers training in this school field.
The subject is, archery.
But these people are obviously not the ordinary goods I have just seen, and the common characteristics of these people are that they have sharp eyes, full of energy, and the bow in their hands is also one size larger than the bow held by ordinary archers.
These people are also trained differently from ordinary archers, not following the crowd to shoot arrows in one direction, but aiming before shooting arrows.
At this moment, there were ten arrow targets in the school grounds, and more than 100 soldiers were lining up in ten rows, and after a row of soldiers shot out the things in the quiver, they immediately retreated. The next row is on top.
The crosshairs are very accurate, and almost every shot is missed. But the weakness is the slower speed.
"I have specially chosen these soldiers, and out of 5,000 men, only ninety-eight. Reading the first battalion, numbered "God Arm." "My personal abilities are outstanding."
"The disadvantage is that these soldiers are actually unqualified as archers, because on the big battlefield, on the battlefield of defending the city, their archery speed is too slow, and the lethality is not as high as those ordinary archers. But on a small-scale battlefield, their role is absolutely prominent. The smaller the number, the more powerful. If you are on a battlefield with less than 500 people, you will be invincible. Huang Zhong stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile.
Listening to the sound of the piano and knowing the meaning of elegance, Liu Feng and Pang Tong are not stupid people. Hearing this, their hearts moved, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
"The general can just say something directly." Liu Feng asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I have some opinions in my heart about Zhou Yu's rejuvenation. But it's all personal opinion. Huang Zhong smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked up at Liu Feng and said: "In the land of Jiangxia County, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Neither the quality nor the strength of the troops are enough to confront Jiangdong, so this war must be defended. Defend the city without losing, and sharpen the soldiers and horses. ”
"But you can't keep it. There is a broken military camp under the main account, which is quite powerful. And the people in Jiangdong probably don't know that the lord owns this battalion. Therefore, Jiangdong Zhou Yu should send a pioneer, or will he send it. The lord can fight a strong army, pull out the vanguard of Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and frustrate its spirit. This kind of law-abiding can be long-term. Huang Zhong said his opinion carefully, and after finishing speaking, he looked up at Liu Feng and said: "Everyone is shallow, and please don't laugh." ”
"That's why my brother chose this god arm battalion, and he plans to cooperate with the broken military camp to pull out the Jiangdong pioneer?" Liu Feng looked at Huang Zhong deeply and said with a slight smile.
"Yes." Huang Zhong nodded.
"The general has served as a lieutenant general under Liu Biao's account for many years, and he sighs that his luck is not good." Pang Tong lamented Huang Zhong's bad luck, and Huang Zhong's thoughts were the same as his. It can be said that he knows the essence of the art of war.
"Is the lord in favor?" Huang Zhong was overjoyed and said with a smile.
"This is Pang Tong, Zi Shiyuan, like my brother, he also came up with this strategy. Pluck its vanguard. Liu Feng remembered that he hadn't introduced Pang Tong yet, so he pointed at Pang Tong and said with a smile.
"I've seen Mr. Pang." Huang Zhong said immediately.
"General." Pang Tong returned the salute and said.
After seeing the ceremony, Huang Zhong smiled and said to Liu Feng: "It turns out that Mr. Pang has already made a statement to the lord, and I thought I was clever, but it turned out to be an afterthought." ”
"Oh, not necessarily. I am a prophet, the first person to know the news that Zhou Yu is going to enter the army, and it is not a good idea to think of it first. Pang Tong shook his head.
He didn't have much contact with Huang Zhong, but with just one sentence, he felt that Huang Zhong was a general, and his military acumen was no worse than him. The ability to lead troops is probably also very high.
Liu Feng is a county, but there are generals such as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, Ma Liang, and Yi under his account. Pang Tong was pleasantly surprised, but he could only sigh that there were many talents.
"Huh." Huang Zhong is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and his words are just a joke. Wen Yan just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
After smiling at each other, Liu Feng said to Huang Zhong: "This battalion of soldiers and horses, my brother will send someone to Chen Da's place, and together they can train together, and they can also increase their tacit understanding." ”
"No." Huang Zhong responded.
The so-called surprise is just Huang Zhongqi's people, and this battalion is known as the god arm. The soldiers of Huang Zhong's army are more similar to Gan Ning's, mixed with fish and dragons, and can only be used to defend the city, and cannot be used to make a scene.
This made Liu Feng and Pang Tong's hearts dissipate a little joy, and in the face of Zhou Yu, they were completely inferior except for breaking the barracks.
You must act with care, and you must be cautious in your layout.
Otherwise, Jiangxia's boat is very likely to be destroyed in the strong wind.
Liu Feng led Pang Tong around, all in order to familiarize Pang Tong with the general's surname, ability, and own strength. Huang Zhong's side was the last, Deng Ai, and Zhang Gui's side Liu Feng didn't want to go.
You don't have to look to know that the soldiers and horses of those two battalions must be the same virtue as Huang Zhong. Vulnerable.
Therefore, after walking around, Liu Feng quickly led Pang Tong back to Taishou Mansion. The first thing to do is to study the map.
A circle down, troops, generals, advantages, disadvantages. Pang Tong has it all in his heart, and the rest is the terrain.
Liu Feng has studied the art of war, but it is more of a means of leading soldiers, including training, military discipline, etc., and he is not very good at studying how to use soldiers on the spot.
Therefore, Pang Tong was not disturbed.
Instead, he instructed Huan'er to call a few servants and maids to serve on the side, and by the way, he also found a mansion for Pang Tong and sent servants to clean it up.
After doing all this, Liu Feng did everything he felt had to do. Now just prepare, prepare, prepare, and wait for Zhou Yu to raise troops.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Knowing the news that Zhou Yu was going to raise troops, I am afraid that it was the most lethal weapon that Liu Feng held in his hand.
It was only at this time that Liu Feng found that his body was abnormally tired, and the fatigue of the journey, as well as thinking about how to meet the enemy, made him overdraw a lot of energy.
Backyard, inside Cai Yu's house. Liu Feng leaned on the couch, feeling very comfortable and didn't want to get up.
It is good that this man is powerful, but it must take a lot of energy and time to consolidate and maintain power. Looking at Liu Feng's tired appearance, Cai Yu was a little distressed. sighed, and personally took a blanket to cover Liu Feng's body.
Today, Cai Yu is wearing a plain white dress, with only a wooden hairpin on her head, and her pretty face is also without makeup, without any powder.
But even so, Cai Yu at this moment is like a hibiscus out of the water, which is beautiful and watery. During this time, Cai Yu really played a lot, and recently felt a little tired. has recovered a little, and the elegance of the first encounter with Liu Feng has been restored. It's like a volcano that suddenly erupts and then regains its calm.
"Ma'am. There was an official surnamed Zhang who asked to see the lord. Suddenly, a maid walked in, bowing her head and reporting with her head bowed.
"The surname Zhang? Did he say what he did? Cai Yu looked at Liu Feng, who closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, did not wake him up immediately, but asked.
"He claimed to be an official of the arsenal and an adjutant to Lord Xu Zheng." The maid replied.
Cai Yu actually doesn't know much about the structure of Liu Feng's acceptance of officials, but Xu Zheng is a person Cai Yu has heard of it. And she also knew that Liu Feng seemed to have ordered the arsenal to study a weapon before he went to Xiangyang.
In short, it's important.
Cai Yu nodded and said, "Let him wait for a while." With that, Cai Yu took a few steps forward and came to Liu Feng's side. Gently waking Liu Feng up, Cai Yu said: "An official from the arsenal has come to the door, surnamed Zhang." ”
"Zhang?" Liu Feng, who was still sleepy-eyed, only felt a thrill all over his body, and immediately woke up.
Of course, he knew who the surname Zhang was, and that he had personally appointed the officials to manage the group of blacksmiths. There must be something big going on when he comes to the door.
Could it be that when he is ready, when he thinks that there is nothing missing, there will still be surprises waiting for him?
Horizontal knives?
Liu Feng only felt refreshed, lifted the blanket on his body, and walked out immediately.
"I'm busy first." The person walked far away before this sentence floated to Cai Yu's ears.
"It's all about the wind." Cai Yu muttered. But like a good wife, she bent over and picked up the blanket that Liu Feng had dropped.
