Chapter 47: Barracks Exercises
After Yang Wei took the hospital examination, he devoted himself to the intense task of training the army. Of course, the real training has nothing to do with him, he just trains Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then lets them train the soldiers below.
After the college test, after the academic administration saw Yang Wei's answer sheet, a hanging heart finally fell. After all, although Yang Wei's poetry has spread throughout the Central Plains, good poetry does not mean that the article is good. He was originally afraid that Yang Wei's answer sheet would be too poor, making it difficult for him to do, but this time he finally didn't have to ignore his conscience, but justifiably gave Yang Wei the title of the head of the case.
Yang Wei's article is so good that he, a scholar and political adult, can't write such an article. It is conceivable that this year's Xie Yuan is no accident and it is none other than Yang Wei, which strengthens his mind to make friends with Yang Wei. Even the re-examination was exempted, and the next day he directly sent the documents of the head of the case to the Yang Mansion in person, but he did not see Yang Wei himself.
At this time, Yang Wei was already in the barracks and began to instruct Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in their formations and commonly used tactics. And the two of them are now learning and using, and the soldiers have also been trained decently.
When Xiong Ba and Niu Jin saw the 10,000 people trained here and the formation that they were constantly rehearsing, their hearts finally began to beat the drums. They could imagine how much pressure it would put on the soldiers if they were to perfect each other, so they worked hard to train their 10,000 men.
During this period, Yang Wei visited the Lu family and also visited the Lu family's army. After the visit, Yang Wei's idea of organizing a large-scale military exercise between the Yang and Lu families was suddenly canceled by him. Looking at the thin body of most soldiers who can't even lift more than forty pounds of Mo knives, if they engage in such a competition, they are obviously bullying others.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. In this month, the 10,000 people who were in charge of training by Xiong Niu and Niu were tired like dead dogs every day, not to mention the envy of the 10,000 people who were training the formation here. Watching people just walk in formation and practice the cooperation between comrades-in-arms, it was very easy.
But under such heavy pressure, it is not all without benefits, in a month, many people have successfully advanced under pressure, on the other hand, none of the 10,000 people trained in Guanzhang have advanced in this month.
The January appointment had reached its deadline, and 20,000 soldiers stood on the school ground, each wearing chain mail, holding a wooden stick, and a piece of cloth tied to the front of the stick, which was dipped in white ash, which was prepared for actual combat drills, and it was impossible for them to cut each other with real weapons, if that was the case, half of them should be thankful. In order to prevent accidental injury, he did not ride a horse.
All eyes on the school field were on the rostrum in front, Yang Wei stood in front of the rostrum, and behind him stood Xiong Niu Guan Zhang and the four people. Yang Wei was wearing a white scribe's robe, standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashed, looking at the 20,000 people standing on the school ground, he couldn't help but feel an endless pride in his heart.
He mobilized his internal strength and said to the soldiers: "In the past month, you have trained very hard, and I have seen it all. Today is the time to test the results of your training over the past month. I announce the official start of the exercise. ”
Yang Wei stepped back and left the position to Xiong Niu Guan and Zhang Four. Xiong Ba stepped forward and shouted to the 10,000 people in charge of him and Niu Jin: "Sons, your hard work this month will not be in vain, the titles of the Tiger Regiment and the Lion Regiment must be ours!"
The 10,000 soldiers below have been holding back the fire for a month, watching the leisurely training of the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments, they are tired and tired just to breathe this today. It was all hoarse and shouted, "Tiger, Lion, Tiger, Lion!"
Niu Jin on the side was also excited, and Guan Yu stroked his not too long beard with his hand, his eyes were shining, but he didn't say a word.
Zhang Fei jumped out and shouted at the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Cavalry Regiments: "There are only two titles of the Tiger Regiment and the Lion Regiment. As he spoke, he crossed his waist with his left hand and pointed at the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Cavalry Regiment with his right hand, shouting: "Do you have confidence?" The 10,000 people shouted loudly: "Yes!
Yang Wei saw that his morale was mobilized, walked to the front, pointed to the direction of the camp gate, and said, "Line up and go out of the camp!" In order to get closer to the actual battle, Yang Wei chose an open area outside the camp. The ground outside the camp is by no means as flat as on the school grounds, with weeds, rocks of various sizes, and even a stream, which is closer to the real battlefield.
The soldiers lined up and rushed out in formation, forming a position in the open space outside the camp. The 20,000 men stood opposite each other, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments lined up in a neat phalanx, and the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments lined up in a neat formation.
This formation is rather strange, the soldiers work in groups of five, forming a small circle, and each small circle forms a large circle. Inside is a small circle forming the second circle, and so on, until the center is a small circle, this small circle has a number of ten people, all of whom are masters of the eighth to tenth order, and like Zhao Yun before, he is also the captain of a thousand-person team.
Since Yang Wei shot Zhao Yun with an arrow, he looked through the roster of all the soldiers from beginning to end, hoping to find another acquaintance whose name he could name, but he was disappointed. None of the soldiers had a name he was familiar with, and it seemed that his luck was not to the extent of rebellion.
Behind Yang Wei's left hand, his right hand was raised, and he waved down in an instant, shouting: "Start!"
In an instant, everyone moved. The 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments rushed to the large formation of the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments, and the circle of the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments also slowly turned. There was a flag officer standing beside Guan Yu, who was responsible for translating Guan Yu's orders into flag language.
At the moment when the two sides were about to make contact, I saw that the great circle in the outermost circle instantly expanded, and some of the soldiers who rushed forward of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiment were rolled in.
The soldiers who were involved were not facing a one-on-one fair duel, each of them was facing a dozen or twenty opponents, and in just a moment, each soldier who was involved had several white spots added to it. They can only withdraw from the battlefield in frustration.
The soldiers who attacked the circle outside could not find a fixed opponent desperately, and all the soldiers in the circle were all away without contact with them at all.
When the soldiers who were involved had been digested by the large array, with Guan Yu's order, the large array instantly expanded again. This time the soldiers of the outer circle entered the inner circle, and the second circle became the outer circle. With the expansion of this large array, some soldiers were swept in.
In this way, the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments ate all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments in one bite with a small loss. At this moment, Xiong Ba's eyes were about to pop out, and his face kept changing between blue and red. He really didn't expect that he had worked so hard to train these soldiers and be solved so easily.
Niu Jin's face is also not good-looking, he was completely defeated by others, and he is hell if he looks good. Guan Yu stroked his beard, his eyes full of self-satisfaction. Zhang Fei's mouth was almost grinning at the root of his ears, but he didn't dare to make any sound.
Yang Wei walked to the front and said to all the soldiers below: "The results of today's competition, I think everyone knows very well, now I announce that the Third Cavalry Regiment has been renamed the Lion Regiment, and Guan Yu is the commander of the Lion Regiment. The Fourth Cavalry Regiment was renamed the Tiger Regiment, and Zhang Fei was the commander of the Tiger Regiment. ”
The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Cavalry Regiment were about to cheer, but Yang Wei waved his hand and continued: "However, these two titles are not set in stone, this kind of competition will be held once a year, and the first two cavalry regiments that have won the victory will inherit these two titles. ”
Then, pointing in the direction of the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments, he asked in a loud voice: "Soldiers of the Lion Regiment and the Tiger Regiment, do you want to keep your title?"
Then, he pointed in the direction of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments and asked loudly: "Do you want to take these two titles from Admiral Dabi next year?" Tell me!" The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiment had already swept away their original frustration, their eyes were shining, and a cry like a landslide came from below: "Yes!"
Yang Wei continued: "Okay! Then you have to train harder, these two titles only belong to the strong! Disband!"
The soldiers all walked towards the camp, and Yang Wei and the others also walked towards the camp. On the way back to the camp, Xiong Ba pursed his lips and hummed for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Young master, can you teach us the formation?" Yang Wei smiled and said, "Of course." However, I have to take the township test, and I don't think I will have time for this month. Guan Yu!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Yang Wei said: "You two are responsible for teaching the formation I taught you to Xiong Ba and Niu Jin, do you have a problem?"
The two hurriedly said, "No problem." ”
Yang Wei is also testing Guan and Zhang, if these two are carefully taught, then in the future, they will be introduced as confidants and placed in the same position as Xiong Ba and Niu Jin. If these two people are perfunctory, then these two will be marginalized in the future, and they can be used, but they must not be reused.
