CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Gongtai, help me go and write a letter and call Zhongda." Bai Tu said to Chen Gong.

"Huh? What did Bai Gong do with Zhongda? Chen Gong wondered.

Chen Gong directly addressed the lord, or only Lu Bu, but Bai Tu also insisted on using honorific titles.

"Training!" Bai Tu said solemnly, and at the same time handed a few pages to Chen Gong.

Looking at the printing on it, Chen Gong knew that the white picture was printed directly by using Cheng Ji to consume manpower.

But I didn't say much, after all, what Bai Tu wrote by himself was very reluctant to recognize, and in order to maintain the majesty of the "lord", it was worth consuming a little manpower!

It's just that after Chen Gong read what was written above, his eyes began to light up, and he continued: "This doesn't have to trouble Zhongda, Xiao Pei's trapping camp can't miss him." ”

That's right, the "Zhongda" that Bai Tu and Chen Gong said refers to Gao Shun, not to subdue Sima Yi in a dream!

When he first learned about Gao Shun's words, Bai Tu was also shocked, but gradually he also had a feeling of "sure enough" in his heart.

"Shun" and "Da" have the meaning of each other, and it is normal for Gao Shun to use "Da" as the table word, and it just so happens that he is also the second, so he has become "Zhongda".

This can also explain why Gao Shun obviously appeared in "Three Kingdoms", but he did not have a word......

Normally, the ancients kept their names secret, but the table characters were exactly the same as those of the founders of the Jin Dynasty, so it was normal for the "Three Kingdoms" written in the Jin Dynasty and the words "beep" off.

Originally, after Bai Tu had chosen the troops, he wanted to call Gao Shun, who was good at military training, to come to Qu'a - no matter how much Yuan Shu blocked it, Gao Shun would still be able to come over with a few personal guards and a few guards.

After hearing Chen Gong's shirk, Bai Tu couldn't help asking: "This new army is also something I have great hopes for!" Although it only occupies a 'strange' word, if it is used properly, it is enough to deal with the difficulties of Yuan Shu at the beginning of spring, if Zhong Da does not come, does he want his father to train himself as a recruit? ”

"And me!" Chen Gong recommended himself.

"Public ...... Don't have anything else to do lately? Bai Tu was a little puzzled.

It's not that I can't believe Chen Gong, but I didn't expect Chen Gong to be interested in training recruits.

"Dealing with Yuan Shu right now, isn't it a first-class matter? Bai Gong rest assured, this recruit will be handed over to me! Chen Gong said with some excitement.

Bai Tu was a little puzzled by his attitude, but since Chen Gongdu had already said so, he agreed, and at the same time said: "You can work more on the public platform, and the equipment of this new army ...... I'll give you 10,000 men, and you can raise the rest yourself. ”

Purely through the city, the production by manpower, although convenient, but the cost performance is not high, the most efficient is to use the real craftsman as the technical guidance, to assist the "synthesis" of labor.

"Whoa!" Chen Gong immediately responded.

Seeing Chen Gong leave in a good mood, Bai Tu didn't understand that he chose his own troops, which of his cool points did he meet......

In order to be able to form an army as soon as possible, Bai Tu did not choose a type of army that was difficult to train and had complex equipment technology.

Even the prototype of this class of troops predates the Han Dynasty - the Macedonian infantry!

It was born about 500 years ago, and it was a powerful weapon for the Macedonian dynasty to sweep across the Mediterranean.

Of course, Bai Tu is not sure that there is no such thing as the Mediterranean Sea in the world in which he lives......

The training method of the Macedonian infantry, as well as the equipment technology, are not complicated, if it is really applied on a large scale, it may not be stronger than the standard infantry of the Han Dynasty, especially the weakness is too obvious, but its combat method is very peculiar.

First of all, in terms of equipment, the main weapon of the Macedonian infantry is a spear of four meters per capita, which has grown to an exaggerated extent in the infantry arms.

And the way of fighting is also to form a phalanx, with layers of spears in front, and cooperate with the Macedonian cavalry to harvest the enemy.

To a certain extent, the infantry phalanx played the role of creating an output environment for the cavalry, and it was difficult for the enemy to directly break through the Macedonian infantry phalanx, but it was easy to be limited to a position conducive to the harvesting of the opposing cavalry by the gun-like phalanx.

Of course, its weakness is also very obvious, once the enemy's long-range strike force is beyond the range of the small round shield equipped with it, and the cavalry is not able to quickly solve it, or contain its long-range output, the infantry phalanx will become a target.

And once the front-row infantry fell and was killed inside the phalanx, the Macedonian infantry was also very good at short knife melee combat......

There is even a problem that it will not turn sharply, as long as it is rounded back and sideways, it will immediately panic.

But it doesn't matter!

What Bai Tu values is the "oddity" of the Macedonian infantry.

The Macedonian infantry, which appeared for the first time on the battlefield of the Han Dynasty, was safe at least in the first few battles, and even cooperated with the wolf cavalry of the state, which could give Yuan Shu a wave of head-on attacks!

That's right, another advantage of the Macedonian infantry for Bai Tu at this time is that there is no need to train additional cavalry, and the wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu is definitely more powerful than the Macedonian cavalry, as long as it refers to the tactics of the Macedonian phalanx.

And there are no technical difficulties in the equipment, and even now the forging technology of the Eastern Han Dynasty itself can be upgraded - after all, the original Macedonian infantry still uses bronze.

As for Chen Gong......

It was seeing this alternative way of cooperation between infantry and cavalry that made him burst out with countless spiritual lights!

Originally, Chen Gong had been designing a way to combine the defenders of the city with the cavalry to deal with the enemy, which was good at containing and pinning the enemy......

The horn is not "horn", "horn" means "pull", which refers to the horn that pulls the prey, and by extension, the meaning of containment.

But there are still many immature places, such as ...... The army defending the city must have a "city" to defend, which is inevitably inflexible, and it is not a "military formation", it can only be said to treat the enemy with a "corner swing".

And Bai Tu's new army made Chen Gong see a new way, that is, using infantry as a "city", and also derived a novel operation of taking the initiative to create an output environment for cavalry......

Therefore, while lamenting that Bai Tu is omniscient and a genius in the world, Chen Gongcai took the initiative to take over the training task of the new army!

This new army and the new military formation inspired Chen Gong, and at the same time, Chen Gong was also very confident that some of his own ideas were not found in this military formation, and the two could complement each other.

Bai Tu handed over the new army to Chen Gong, and he mobilized the officials of the three counties to recruit skilled craftsmen.

The equipment for defending the city should also be built, and be prepared with both hands.

In the spring of the next year, Yuan Shu will inevitably make a move on Bai Tu, and what Bai Tu wants to do is to meet the head attack first, let him know that he is not hand-to-hand, and win the time to pacify Jiangdong, and then delay until he is called an emperor or something, and he plays himself down......
