Chapter 044: Trapped in the camp
Camp Xiao?
Mutiny?
Qingji didn't care.
Guy knows a thing or two about human nature!
Human beings are extremely adaptable, how to temper an iron-blooded army?
In addition to battlefield fighting, daily rigorous drills are essential.
Now, the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom hate and hate this kind of cruel martial arts, but when they come to the real battlefield, they can all survive and escape.
In this case, how can they still hate this kind of boring and cruel martial arts?
Moreover, it is understandable for Qingji to practice this kind of "law of the jungle" in the military.
In the big martial arts, the victorious side can eat extra food at night, while the defeated side can only sleep hungry.
In this way, it may arouse the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers, but their competitive spirit is also increasing.
Moreover, such a large-scale military exercise will not be held every day, but will be held regularly at intervals according to the establishment of the army, so there is no need to worry that the soldiers are often hungry and unable to practice!
This is just a means of motivating the soldiers, nothing more.
"Second and third sons, the widow knows that what you said is true."
Qingji said indifferently: "Training, especially training a combatable soldier and a strong army in the world, is indeed not something that can be completed overnight." ”
"Widows really shouldn't be in a hurry. However, the widow has always believed in only one truth, and that is - sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime! ”
"If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can the widow have the luxury of expecting these soldiers to go to the real battlefield and be worthy of a battle?"
"This ......"
As soon as they heard this, the generals immediately looked at each other, unaware of it!
Qingji glanced at Sun Ping beside him again.
Sun Ping, as the great Sima, is indeed competent in governing the military of a country.
Like many generals in this era, he loves soldiers like children, and can share weal and woe with ordinary soldiers, eat the same meals, and sleep on the same bedboards!
However, Sun Ping didn't understand a truth - compassion is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth.
Of course, Qingji did not think that Sun Ping's practice of loving soldiers like sons was wrong, but sometimes he "doted" on soldiers excessively, which could cause extremely serious consequences during the war.
"Da Sima, is the teacher you rely on to prepare for the widow ready?"
"Back to the king, Weichen is ready. According to the king's instructions, the minister has mobilized 5,000 sharp soldiers, day and night drills, on the day of the king's crown ceremony, they can come as promised, displayed on the shore of Xianghu Lake! ”
"Good!"
Qingji bowed slightly.
For Sun Ping's ability to do things, Qingji still trusts him!
"Changqing, how are you practicing in your camp?"
Qingji immediately cared about the trapping camp that Sun Wu had just formed.
"King, trapped in the camp now, it is already worthy of a battle."
Can you afford to fight?
Qingji's eyebrows raised.
He knew that Sun Wu's personality was very modest, and he said that he was worthy of a battle, and he might have become a rare force in the world!
Qing Ji was immediately surrounded by a group of generals and entered the camp where the trapping camp was located.
When they came, they saw that the sharp soldiers who had fallen into the camp were still wearing heavy armor, and they were fully armed to fight on the school field.
Everyone is tired and sweating, but there is a sense of perseverance in their eyes!
From the aura emanating from his body, Qingji can know that this is a rare elite soldier.
That's nature!
After all, every sharp soldier trapped in the camp was basically carefully selected by Sun Wu from tens of thousands of Wu army soldiers, and they had all experienced the tempering of war.
They are physically strong and tough, and they are also hard to find in the army of any country.
"Beat the drums!"
Sun Wu immediately stood on the high platform and waved his hand.
Not long after, the sharp soldiers of the trapped camp who were still fighting hand-to-hand quickly gathered and stood under the high platform in a neat and orderly manner, majestic and high-spirited!
The phalanx of eight hundred warriors was full of fighting spirit, looking ahead without a single irrelevant murmur.
It's really a ban!
Seeing this, Qingji couldn't help but bow slightly.
Standing in Qingji's position, looking from far and near, I saw these sharp soldiers trapped in the camp, each wearing bronze heavy armor and being stubborn.
Each of them had a halberd in his hand, a bronze sword at his waist, a rhino-faced oar and an iron-tired bow, and fifty crossbows.
Coupled with the three-layer armor they were wearing, Qingji estimated that they had dozens of pounds of weight!
"General Sun, is your trapped camp really worthy of a battle?"
Meng Ben, who was on the side, was quite unconvinced, and said: "These soldiers are very heavy with armor and baggage. It's okay to watch, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the battlefield! ”
"How can I not go to the battlefield?"
"Hahahaha, General Sun, don't say that a certain Meng Ben doesn't know your ability to train soldiers, but such a subordinate who is dressed like a turtle shell can defend the city, and he can only be killed when he goes out to fight in the field!"
Obviously, Meng Ben and other generals were doubting Sun Wu's ability to govern the army and the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp.
Even Sun Wu's father, Sun Ping, couldn't help frowning, not in disbelief!
However, in the face of the incomprehension and ridiculed eyes of the generals, Sun Wu just laughed it off.
"If General Meng doesn't believe it, you and I might as well give it a try."
"How?"
"I think these 800 sharp soldiers in the camp can break the general's army of you!"
The soldiers of one army are five thousand!
Eight hundred against five thousand, no matter how you look at it, is hitting a stone with an egg.
Meng Ben didn't believe it, Sun Ping didn't believe it, and all the generals present didn't believe what Sun Wu said!
Meng Ben said directly: "General Sun, you said such a big thing, aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue?" With six or seven times the enemy's strength, you are sure that you will win the battle? ”
Sun Wu smiled and said nothing.
It just so happened that Qingji wanted to see how much combat power the trapping camp formed by Sun Wu and practiced single-handedly!
So he let Sun Wu and Meng Ben each lead their troops to conduct military exercises.
However, Meng Ben was quite angry with Sun Wu, who was "full of big words", so he was only willing to lead 2,000 foot soldiers to fight against Sun Wu's trapped camp!
After all, the soldiers trapped in the camp were originally the strongest soldiers produced by the various departments of the Wu State, and in terms of individual combat ability, they were very much beyond the reach of people.
For the sake of insurance, Meng Ben thinks that he can't be too careless!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
With the sound of dull and slightly depressing war drums, on the empty school ground, the 2,000 soldiers led by Meng Ben confronted the 800 soldiers of the trapped camp led by Sun Wu.
The flag covers the sky, and the spear is like a forest!
Meng Ben took the lead and led his troops to attack the trapped camp that had opened up the formation.
With the wave of the order flag, Meng Ben's long sword pointed, and the shield hand at the forefront of the phalanx held a rectangular shield, covering the troops to advance slowly!
The side of the trapped camp is also under Sun Wu's order, and it is advancing at a uniform pace.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Before he could get within the range of the bow and arrows, Sun Wu waved his hand and ordered all the soldiers in the camp to pick up the iron-tired hard bows, stretch their bows and arrows, and shoot round after round of arrows at the enemy formation on the opposite side.
"Wait!"
Meng Ben's eyes widened and he screamed.
I saw that the powerful arrows shot by the sharp soldiers of the trapped camp pierced the sky, and they actually accurately avoided the shield array and fell into the enemy phalanx!
The soldiers Meng Ben, who was caught off guard, were hit by arrows one after another, and the pain was so painful.
This kind of arrow does not have an arrow for the time being, but it can still make people feel a lot of pain when they hit the head.
It was only a few rounds of arrow rain down, and many soldiers on Meng Ben's side had already "died".
