Lu Bing came to the north of the city, the north of the city was relatively barren, after Lu Bing made a color, Wei He went to four or five manors and knocked on the door, and then whispered a few words to the person who opened the door. After a while, Wei He finished all this, Lu Bing nodded and walked towards the outside of the city, and came to a large village more than ten miles outside the city, Lu Bing turned over and dismounted and knocked on the door himself.

The door opened left and right, and it was a shirtless sturdy man who opened the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lu Bing coming, and then he opened his fist and Lu Bing entered. The Shen family and Zheng Chao followed inside, Wei He stayed outside the door and waited for something, and Lu Bing walked into the wide courtyard. To tell the truth, this is not a courtyard, there is no main house, there is no small courtyard across the courtyard, to be precise, there was originally a total of demolition, leaving only a large open space, and a circle of newly built tiled houses next to the wall.

The courtyard was full of weapons, but not axes, hooks, forks, knives, guns, clubs, crutches, and shooting stars, there were only four things, spears, bows, arrows, large shields, and waist knives, and there were forty or fifty men in the courtyard shouting and practicing phalanx, or bending bows and shooting arrows at targets, or practicing stabbing with spears. Someone moved out a big hardwood chair, Lu Bing sat on it, and he didn't talk to Chao Yu and the middle-aged man surnamed Zheng, and took a hand pot to drink water.

About a pillar of incense passed, the courtyard door opened, and under the leadership of Wei He, more than 100 men poured in, this group of men walked in a uniform pace, without a trace of noise, only the sound of men stepping in the empty courtyard. Chao Yu can be seen clearly, this courtyard is full of soldiers, but looking at the height and strong physique of the group of men and a pair of firm eyes, it does not seem to be an ordinary soldier, it must be a group of elite soldiers, but Lu Bing showed them what happened to this group of soldiers?

Lu Bing looked at the sun and said, "It's time to eat, right?" Chao Yu also looked up, and the man surnamed Zheng said, "It's only been a while, why do you eat at such a point." Lu Bing said with a smile: "They are all iron-beaten men, and they are also at the age of wolves and tigers, it is the time to eat wildly, how can they eat five meals a day." Come on, serve the food, gather for dinner. ”

What happened below made Chao Yu and others dumbfounded, the salary of the Ming soldiers can not be regarded as high or low, in short, if the peak does not deduct the salary, it can basically be mixed, that is, miscellaneous grains and dry food with porridge, and eat some big pot vegetables and stewed meat during the New Year's holidays. Of course, if the officials are deducted, it doesn't matter, they can be scavenged from the surrounding people, but in this way, they all go out to find food to eat, and there will be no one to train.

The group of sturdy soldiers in front of them each ate meat and bowls, and poured them into their stomachs when they opened their mouths, as if their mouths were bottomless pits, Lu Bing was not only distressed but also full of smiles in his eyes. Lu Bing turned around and said to the two: "Eat meat and drink milk, nutrition keeps up, plus high-intensity exercise, there is no one who is not in good health, and there is no need to fight tactics if your physical fitness is stronger than others, just one-on-one blood beating others is not one." ”

Chao Yu nodded thoughtfully, but the man surnamed Zheng was disdainful and glanced at Lu Bing coldly. Lu Bing was not angry, patiently watched everyone finish eating, after eating, the soup was served, a meal of sea drinking, and after drinking, he rested on the spot for two teas, Lu Bing said: "These two uncles behind me are a little impatient, which brother has eaten well, come forward for me." ”

"Listen to an order." The sergeants stood up and took a step forward in unison. Lu Bing nodded and looked back at the two of them: "The two seniors are strong in martial arts, Lu Bing was not the opponent of the two when he was not injured, how about you try the kung fu of this group of soldiers now, okay?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and then took out their swords from the wrapped coarse cloth, Lu Bing said: "The two seniors still hope that their subordinates will be merciful, don't hurt my group of precious elite soldiers." ”

"Hmph, I know, let you see how ordinary soldiers are like dogs and chickens in front of the two of me." The middle-aged man surnamed Zheng stepped forward, and the sergeants picked up the big shield, bow and crossbow, and waited quietly with their spears.

"The generals will listen to the order and line up in a spear formation." Lu Bing ordered.

"Yes!"

The spearmen in the front row advanced with their spears in hand, and the spears were tilted to varying degrees as the phalanx advanced, with the first row holding their spears flat, the second row slightly upward, and the third row even higher, until the sixth row was completely perpendicular to the ground. The soldier who was first selected as the spearman was very stout, and it could be seen that the arms were extremely powerful, and the muscles of each arm were bruised and the muscles were concave and convex. Secondly, these spears are different from the spears of ordinary officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, the rods of these spears are longer and thicker, and they are all cast from muddy iron, which means that short weapons can't enter the body at all, and chopping is useless, it's just a waste of strength.

If the two armies are facing each other this time, whether it is against the cavalry or the same infantry, it is extremely effective, even if the martial arts people encounter such a formation, they can only avoid it, lest they confront it head-on, and they dare not dare to hope to come and go freely.

Originally, the only way to clash head-on was to use light skills, or even step on these outstretched spears, jump into the air and then jump into the formation to attack. However, this layer of diagonal spears made it impossible to implement this strategy. No matter from any angle, no matter how high you work, you will have to fall into a dense forest of spears. Chao Yu gave the surname Zheng a look, and the surname Zheng would also understand, and the two attacked the two wings of the phalanx left and right.

Lu Bing said with a smile: "This formation is a foreigner's foreign thing, called the Macedonian phalanx, but Lu has improved it for him, which is more suitable for small regiments to fight to facilitate dealing with various terrains." As soon as Lu Bing's words fell, the soldiers on both sides took down the big shield they had been carrying from behind them, and suddenly the two sides became copper walls and iron walls, making it difficult to enter.

Lu Bing ordered: "Rong Array." The soldiers who were waiting outside ran into the formation from the tail of the formation, staggered but neatly aligned. Seeing the slightly surprised expressions of Chao Yu and the man surnamed Zheng, Lu Bing couldn't help but smile secretly, this Nima is a move from the top and bottom of my Heavenly Empire to walk the phalanx, from elementary school to university, from the national ** movement to the inaugural position, as long as it is a unit of the national system, it will not escape the phalanx sooner or later. Except for North Korea, my Celestial Dynasty is the first to walk the phalanx, Lao Tzu has walked the phalanx for so many years, and this neatness is not good practice, it is considered a vain life.

In an instant, the big shield was put down, the formation became circular, and the spears stretched out everywhere made Chao Zheng and the two masters unable to start, and the surname Zheng shouted: "This formation is as slow as a turtle, how can you hit people?" ”

Lu Bing said with a smile: "That fire bow and crossbow are not fast." As soon as the words fell, a crossbowman in the array began to release arrows, and suddenly Chao Zheng and the two had to use their swords to remove the arrows they shot, and they kept dodging. Lu Bing shouted: "Change formation." ”

The big shield retreated backwards, and the round shield suddenly formed a semicircular turtle shell shape forward, and buckled upside down on the ground. At this time, the small shield at the bottom suddenly opened, and several fast knife hands rushed out of the city, and swept towards Chao Zheng and the others with their knives, Chao Zheng and the others were busy with the bows and arrows above, where was there time to worry about the below. The fast knife player who attacked the lower plate had special trust in the bow and crossbow skills of his companions, and did not worry about shooting crookedly and causing an arrow in his back, but blindly fought bravely and fiercely attacked the lower plate. Chao Zheng and the two roared, turning like a top, and the sword in their hand shattered the waist knife in their hands when it touched the fast knife hand, and those bows and arrows somehow dodged their bodies, Lu Bing saw this and shouted excitedly: "It's the kung fu of practicing qi." ”

The fast knife hand was not hit, and he returned in vain, and the donkey rolled and withdrew into the formation under the cover of the bow and crossbow, and Lu Bing ordered: "Stop." The formation instantly returned to tranquility, and Lu Bing said to Wei He beside him: "Wei He, go and let everyone return to the team and continue to practice, I want to talk to the two seniors about something." Wei He hugged his fists and replied yes, and hurriedly ran and gave the order.

Lu Bing stood up and walked in front of Chao Zheng and the others, and arched his hand: "What do the two seniors think of me as soldiers?" ”

The man surnamed Zheng glanced at Lu Bing and said: "Although I have a lot of opinions about you in the matter of the eldest lady, I have to admit that your group of sergeants have practiced extremely well, and to fight with ordinary soldiers is to compete with the same number of martial arts people, and in the face of scattered martial arts people, they can also be invincible, if it weren't for me and Chao Lao using the kung fu of practicing qi, we really can't deal with it." Having said that, you kid, if we couldn't do that trick just now, wouldn't we be killed on the spot, and you are really ruthless. ”

"Uncle Zheng is quick to talk, has clear grievances and grievances, and does not comment at will because of selfishness and forgetfulness, Lu Bing admires." Lu Bingdao.

"Zheng Mingchuan doesn't dare to be." The middle-aged man still put on a stinky face.

Chao Yu said suddenly: "Lu Bing, are you training this group of soldiers to avenge the humiliation you suffered in the martial arts before?" Although Xiao Zheng and I are from the martial arts, most of them are idle clouds and wild cranes, and we don't even have a font size. It's just a soft-spoken person, what are you showing us this for? ”

"Am I idle? How can I have time to fight with those martial arts people now, and besides, they don't have time to deal with me now, and they are busy fighting for the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife, hehe. Lu Bing shook his head with a smile and said: "I am going to use this group of people as a sharp knife force, and the specific use is to cross the sea to conquer the Japanese and take revenge and welcome back the hostages!" ”

Zheng Mingchuan and Chao Yu were stunned, Zheng Mingchuan clenched his fists and said, "Brother Lu, please accept Zheng Mou's worship, Zheng Mou blamed you just now." ”

Lu Bing hurriedly straightened Zheng Mingchuan and said: "It's okay, I don't ask everyone in the world to understand me, I don't care too much about what others think, as long as I can do what I want to do." ”

Lu Bing continued: "However, don't be busy thanking you first, I will try my best to rescue Shen Yeshan." But to tell you the truth, I just rescued your eldest lady by the way, my sworn brother Xia Dade and his friend Yang Feiyan, and my wife's maidservant Xiangyun are all in the hands of the Japanese Kou, and the purpose of my trip is mainly for them. Of course, I just want to tell you that if I save them, if I want to save Shen Yew, when the suffering is abnormal or I need to risk my life, I will give up. I put the ugly words in front of me for the sake of being a good person in the future. But if you want me to rescue Shen Yew wholeheartedly, it's not difficult, we can exchange conditions. I need your Shen family to provide me with the corresponding big ship, I am not sure about the specific number, I still have to face the saint to ask the emperor to send troops, I don't know how many can be sent or whether I am allowed or not. Of course, to put it mildly, even if the emperor's order does not allow it, I insist on going. ”

Lu Bing took out a drawing from his arms and said: "You Shen family have many skilled craftsmen, help me design and manufacture this, I will try to write down the approximate principles and everything, and I don't know if it's specific, in short, you can study it in depth when the time comes." This thing needs about 300 pieces, don't worry about money if you want to save people, if there is a problem with the local government office in the place where it was built, tell me and I will dredge it. ”

Zheng Mingchuan looked at the drawings and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Imitation revolver, I think it's called a revolver. Can you do the ship I just mentioned, including the soldiers' rations and weapons? Lu Bing asked.

Chao Yu thought for a while and replied: "Anything that can save the eldest lady, we can agree on our behalf, but when we came out this time, the head of the family once explained that he wanted me to tell Brother Lu one thing." ”

"Please." Lu Bing said calmly, this kind of shipbuilding and firearms have been agreed, what else is too bad news. But he heard Chao Yu say lightly: "The head of the family has decided to stop all assistance except for the rescue of the eldest lady, including the part of the emperor's salary that the emperor hid in the imperial tomb from you. At the same time, most places in the country will call for a boycott of the market, and shops will not open until the eldest lady is rescued. Brother Lu, I want to remind you that this is not only the business of our Shen family, but also all the merchants and chambers of commerce who follow the call of my Shen family, you can consider the consequences yourself, so I hope to rescue our young lady as soon as possible. ”

"I'll rub it, no." Lu Bing was dumbfounded, Chao Zheng and the two turned around, went out and turned over and galloped all the way to the door, leaving only one sentence: "Yes, that's it." ”
