…

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fang Baihua Army took turns to attack the remaining three Zhuangzi, and they fought for nearly a month, but they only beat two Zhuangzi after paying a lot of casualties, and the remaining Hanjiazhuang, they couldn't beat it no matter how they fought it.

Under the circumstance that the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts had already sent 5,000 forbidden troops to Qingxi, it was impossible for Li Cun to continue to use Hanjiazhuang to brush up on the experience of the Huben army and the soldiers of the Fang Baihua army.

Therefore, Li Cun ordered that at a distance of 150 meters from Hanjiazhuang, four ten-zhang high arrow towers were built by using straw ropes and bamboo poles to build scaffolding in future generations.

For Li Cun, who now has 70,000 or 80,000 military dependents and many military craftsmen, it can be easily done in only half a day.

After the arrow tower was built, Li Cun ordered people to move the four bed crossbows to the four arrow towers.

At the same time, Li Cun asked his own army leader Sun He and Su Dong, whom Zhang Shi strongly recommended to Li Cun, to lead a hundred men and horses to prepare for the attack on the village.

As soon as the battle began, Li Cun personally commanded four bed crossbows to shoot jackdaw arrows at Hanjiazhuang rhythmically and uninterruptedly.

The bed crossbow is so high that it can release dozens of arrows at a time.

The keeper of the village on the wall was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head at all.

Some people may be puzzled, why don't the people in Hanjiazhuang fight back with bows and crossbows? Don't they have bows?

On the contrary, there are not only bows and crossbows in Hanjiazhuang, but also a lot of them, and the key is that there are also a large number of archers with superb archery skills in this village.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fang Baihua Army will not be able to attack Hanjiazhuang for a long time, and they will suffer heavy casualties.

Seeing this, some people may be thinking, then the people in Hanjiazhuang should use bows and arrows to fight back!

In fact, it's not that the people in Hanjiazhuang don't want to, it's that they can't do it at all.

The effective range of the bow and arrow is within one hundred and twenty meters, and when it reaches one hundred and fifty meters, the bow and arrow are already weak, and the arrow tower built by Li Cunren is more than ten meters higher than Hanjiazhuang, and the archers in Hanjiazhuang must shoot from the back if they want to shoot the tiger soldiers on the arrow tower, which will undoubtedly make the range of the bow and arrow closer.

On the other hand, the bed crossbow has a maximum range of up to five hundred steps, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from Hanjiazhuang, it is still condescending, and the strike range of these four bed crossbows can almost be said to cover half of Hanjiazhuang.

In this case, Hanjiazhuang is naturally how Li Cun wants to fight.

There is no suspense at all in the ending.

Under the suppression of the fire of the bed crossbow, Sun He led a hundred soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to rush to the city wall with one charge, and then easily opened the gate of the village under the cover of the bed crossbow.

Seeing this, Su Dong immediately led a hundred soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to rush into Hanjiazhuang.

The people in Hanjiazhuang saw that the general trend had gone, so they could only surrender one after another.

Added together, in just one hour, Li Cun defeated more than 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who could not defeat Hanjiazhuang for a month.

The key is that under the command of Li Cun, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were injured less than five people in total, and the only one who died was that he accidentally fell from the ladder and hit his head on the stone.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fang Baihua Army, who finally had a little understanding of the war because of a month's experience, knew how huge the gap between them and Li Cun was.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Niu Meng, who has the best combat record, is far from worthy of Li Cun's ability to command troops.

Li Cun did not take this opportunity to attack the prestige of the generals of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fang Baihua Army, but directly ordered that all the men who participated in the resistance in Hanjiazhuang be executed, and the women would be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, and then all the soldiers would rest today and be reorganized tomorrow.

(There was a little episode in the process, Su Dong actually found Li Cun and interceded for Han Bei, the head of Hanjiazhuang, and the dozens of crossbowmen taught by Han Bei, on the grounds that they were all rare talents, and it was a pity to kill them.)

Li Cun considered that the Tiger Ben Army did lack long-range attack methods, and heard that this Han Bei would even make the famous Divine Arm Bow, so he pardoned Han Bei and the others and their relatives. ）

In fact, Li Cun had already finished the reorganization, and the Tiger Ben Army had already trained and fought with the newly reorganized organization.

It's just that there are still some high-ranking generals, Li Cun has not yet appointed, for example, the commander of the Tiger Ben Left Army and the Tiger Ben Right Army that have been established, such as who will succeed Niu Meng as the leader of the Tiger Ben Horse Army, and so on......

This is also the reason why a group of ambitious generals of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fang Baihua Army have been working hard to attack these Zhuangzi.

It's a pity that all the generals failed to pass Li Cun's test!

It can be said that Li Cun has given everyone a fair opportunity, but everyone is not angry.

There was no way, Li Cun could only watch the appointment by himself.

Li Cun did not engage in any complicated appointment ceremony, but directly announced the appointment in public early the next morning:

"I appoint Sun He as the acting leader of the Tiger Left Army."

"I appoint Su Dong as the acting leader of the Tiger Ben Right Army."

"I appoint Niu Wei as the acting leader of the Tiger and Horse Army."

“……”

To be honest, many people are actually dissatisfied with the appointment of Sun He, Su Dong and Niu Wei as acting leaders.

After all, these three people do not have the real exploits of Niu Meng and Zhao Han'er, as for the final break of Hanjiazhuang, anyone can see that with Li Cun's command, whoever goes will definitely be able to defeat Hanjiazhuang, and it has nothing to do with Sun He and Su Dong, as for Niu Wei, the credit is even less, and many people even suspect that if Niu Wei is not Niu Meng's younger brother, he will definitely not get this high position.

But then again, Sun He, Su Dong and Niu Wei are not worthy, but who is worthy?

It is that everyone is unworthy, Li Cuncai uses people as relatives, not that Li Cun's rewards and punishments are unclear and unfair in employing people.

The key is, there must be someone sitting in these positions, right? Does Li Cun have to personally command the generals at the battalion level or even the company level?

Therefore, although some people think that Sun He, Su Dong and Niu Wei are not worthy of the current leaders, no one has a complaint about Li Cun.

In addition, Niu Meng is the leader of the Tiger Ben Front Army, Zhao Han'er is the leader of the Tiger Ben Middle Army, and Fang Baihua is the commander of the Tiger Ben Army and the commander of the Tiger Ben Army.

All the senior generals of the Tiger Ben Army were born.

As for Li Cun's new pro-soldiers, the commanders were Kong Lengzi and Zhang Goudan - the former was the positive, and the latter was the deputy.

And Li Cun's personal soldiers are still all the best soldiers in the Tiger Army, and this is also the birthplace of the generals of the Tiger Army.

What is surprising is that Li Cun appointed Zhang Shi as the capital supervisor of the Huben army, and at the same time appointed a large number of wounded, especially those who were disabled due to the war, to serve as the supervisors of each army, these supervisors have been deep into the team level, that is, there must be at least one supervisor for every 100 people, and the level and treatment of these supervisors are the same as their partners in command, and Li Cun also specially emphasized that the wartime troops are managed by the commanders, and the non-wartime troops are managed by the supervisors. Supervise the military and manage life.

In fact, there have been signs of this matter for a long time.

In the past month, all the people who have been appointed as the prison guards, including Zhang Shi, have been learning from Li Cun - no matter how busy Li Cun is, he will definitely spare two hours every day to teach Zhang Shi and his prison guards.

Previously, others didn't know the intention of Li Cun's move, and the answer was not revealed until now.

In this regard, those generals who command the army are naturally a little tired.

But Li Cun has always said the same, and no one can shake Li Cun's absolute dominance.

Besides, the crockpot will inevitably break by the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle, all of whom are working the battlefield, who dares to guarantee that they will never be injured or disabled? And when the day comes, I also hope that I will not only not be abandoned, but will also be reused.

Therefore, although some of the generals who commanded the army complained about Li Cun sending individuals to divide their powers, not even one of them questioned Li Cun's appointment.

After the reorganization of the troops was completed, Li Cun ordered the distribution of military equipment and brand-new weapons.

Military equipment, that is, uniforms, military shoes, military quilts and other items in a uniform style.

The weapons are mainly the weapons used in the Mandarin Duck Formation, supplemented by spears (this spear is no longer the kind of four-meter and six-meter-long spear, but a standard-length spear).

In fact, the reason why Li Cun came up with the Macedonian phalanx was mainly to train the obedience of the soldiers of the Tiger Army, and it was not really to move this kind of problematic old Western antique battle formation to the East to make it embarrassing.

But then again, although the Macedonian phalanx has many problems, it cannot be denied that it can still play a very key role in some special battlefields, at least it is one of the few infantry battle formations that can fight cavalry.

Moreover, the Macedonian phalanx, especially the Macedonian phalanx, which only requires spears, is inexpensive and easy to assemble, and it is a good training for the obedience of the soldiers.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Li Li still reserved a Macedonian camp for each army.

As for the other battalions, they were mainly infantry battalions mixed with mandarin duck formations and pikemen.

In addition, Li Cun deliberately set up a very special battalion - the car battalion.

In the last life, Li Cun once visited the Jiaodong Party Education Base.

There, Li Cun deliberately studied the chariot invented by Qi Jiguang.

This kind of chariot, one zhang five long, weighs six hundred catties, has both offense and defense, similar to the armored vehicles of later generations.

The staff read a large number of ancient books, consulted many experts, comprehensively considered the function of the chariot in actual combat, and finally demonstrated the specific proportions and dimensions, and there is a record next to the restored chariot that Qi Jiguang used the chariot to defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry that far exceeded the number of his troops.

Therefore, according to the chariots invented by Qi Jiguang and some of his own insights that were ahead of the times, Li Cun found skilled craftsmen to build 200 chariots, and then distributed them to various armies, so that each army could form a chariot battalion.

……

When the Tiger Ben Army completed the final reorganization and redressing, Fang La and the others also knew that Cai Zun and Yan Tan were leading their troops to pounce on Qingxi.

——The people who resented Zhao and Song along the way had already done everything possible to report the situation of the Song army to the righteous army, and finally spread it to Fang La.

Therefore, although the news of Fang La's gang was slower than Li Cun's, they also knew the details of the Song army that was swaggering towards Qingxi.

Fang La gathered his generals and officials together and asked, "How should I deal with the Song army's attack?" ”

After a pause, Fang La asked again: "How should I deal with Li Cunna?" ”

Bao Kang listened to the words and said: "We should work together to defeat the Song army and raise the prestige of our righteous army to show the world." ”

Fang La listened to the words and looked at Fang Wu noncommittally.

Fang Wu immediately understood: "Today I have 50,000 regular troops and 50,000 auxiliary troops, and the enemy is only 5,000, twenty times more than the enemy, so why do I need foreign aid?" ”

At the beginning of Fang Wu, Fang La's descendants said that they didn't need the help of the Tiger Ben Army in this battle, and they could repel Cai Zun and Yan Tan's crusade.

Even Fang Fei said: "His Tiger Ben Army has now laid down twelve villages, sitting on the grain mountain treasury, if my Yongle Army does not lift the morale of the army, defeat the enemy, and capture the county, who in the world knows that my Yongle Dynasty is orthodox?" ”

Bao Kang actually understands the claims of Fang La and others.

You know, now the people of the Fang La Righteous Army are almost jealous of the people of the Dead Tiger Army!

- Hu Benjun ate well, had money, and divided women, this is simply a life like a fairy, how can it be like their Fangla Yijun, who has a hard time, if it weren't for Li Cun's lot of dowry, life may not be able to go on.

In fact, recently, many people from the Fangla Righteous Army have run to join the Tiger Ben Army.

If this goes on for a long time, Fang La's righteous army may be astigmatized.

Therefore, Fang La needs a hearty victory, a big victory that only belongs to Fang La, to stabilize the morale of the army.

In the end, even Wang Gong Lao Buddha also said loudly: "Kill these five thousand demons, my army is enough." ”

Seeing this, Bao Kang could only give up his own proposition and agree that the Fang La Yi Army would go alone to face the 5,000 Zhao and Song forbidden troops led by Cai Zun and Yan Tan......
