After announcing the military discipline, Gao Yigong let each outpost return to the camp, after all, the army is still in a state of high-speed marching, and the main task of the day is still marching, and it is precisely for this reason that Li Zicheng is not optimistic about the future of the reserve army.

"Hehe, these military laws formulated by you, a sour scholar, are they like that? Where did you learn it? After Gao Yigong and the other posts returned to the camp, he rushed to Li Yan with great interest, and he couldn't stop praising it.

For a martial artist like them who dares to fight and rush, there is naturally no problem in enforcing military discipline, but it is difficult to formulate, after all, his own cultural level is like that.

"Especially the first to retreat, it is even more wonderful, in this way, I want to see who dares to flee first! Don't say that the officer can't let him go, even if it's the robe of the army, he can't let him go," Gao Yigong excitedly pulled Li Yan and praised.

Li Yan sighed slightly, and said slowly: "This law is strict and implicates innocents, if it weren't for the situation, I would definitely not do this." ”

Eleven snatched such a brutal thing out, and if he really did something big in the future, I don't know if the people of later generations will evaluate themselves like Zhu Wen, who is engaged in "pulling out the team".

"What's the matter? If only you could win the battle! "Gao Yigong doesn't care about it, the people who are in the army always care about whether they can win or not, as for the casualties of the soldiers, it has never been the first thing to consider.

Li Yan didn't say anything when he heard this, he just shook his head with a wry smile, and he was also warning himself in his heart that if he wanted to train a soldier well, he had to be ruthless.

"Boss Gao, we still have to work hard tonight." Li Yan said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Why? Gao Yigong was on the rise, and he didn't feel sleepy yet, and he was also stunned when he heard Li Yan say this.

"The key to military training is first of all to give both grace and power, to subdue the soldiers, so that they obey the order, do not dare to slack off, and then show kindness, then the soldiers are happy to die, this is the key to military training," Li Yanxu said, this is the basic element of military training that he himself summed up: "Grace and power are combined."

Gao Yigong has been in the army for many years, so he naturally has some experience in this, nodded and said: "That's right, that's the case, but today you affirm the military discipline, it can be regarded as a prestige, and the next thing is to show kindness?" ”

"It's not enough, what's the use of just stating military discipline? But if the military discipline is to stand, then it will always have to kill a few heads to stand," Li Yan shook his head and denied.

Gao Yigong heard that Li Yan was fluttering, so he thought about taking a few heads to establish military prestige, and he didn't feel a pang in his heart, and scolded on his lips: "You scholar is very vicious, even if I don't have such thoughts, but this matter is not difficult, I have seen this group of people, and I am used to being careless, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to catch the typical." ”

"That's what I'm going to say" Li Yan nodded in agreement: "However, things should be done sooner rather than later, we have limited time, and we don't have enough time to train the troops, so what we can do must be done immediately." ”

Gao Yigong heard Li Yan's words, thought for a moment, and said: "I don't have your brain, what do you want to do, tell me." ”

"Tonight, the drums will be beaten on the third watch, but if you don't hear the drums, you will be strictly dealt with according to military law," Li Yan said.

"Tomorrow we have to march, isn't it a bit harsh?" Gao Yigong hesitated, the army marched every day very tired, often sleeping like a dead pig as soon as he set up camp, and beating the drums was indeed a little tortured.

"Don't treat it harshly, how can you train elite soldiers?" Li Yan's eyes showed a ruthless look, and he said firmly to Gao Yigong.

Gao Yigong frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Then, do as you say, I will play this drum in person!" ”

......

Autumn has arrived, the lake in autumn is cloudy and rainy, in this era of no cement and asphalt roads, the roads are so muddy that it is difficult for grain trucks to move in mud ponds, and it often takes more than a dozen strong men to push them out.

The more to the Bears Ears Mountain, the less the population is distributed, and the more difficult it is to plunder, so the army also attaches more and more importance to the grain reserves.

In this context, physical strength is greatly consumed, often at night, these sleepy troops will plunge into the military tent to sleep, and the reserve army is no exception, because it is a cannon fodder-like existence, and they have to push the heavy grain and grass.

Moreover, it seems that the reserve army is more miserable, the military tent is limited, many reserve troops have no military tent to shelter in at all, they are all sleeping on the mud ground, if it catches up with the rain, it will be miserable, and they have to worry about drowning......

The weather was exceptionally good tonight, and the rain had ceased for several days, and many of the soldiers in reserve had taken out straw mats and spread them on the ground and fell asleep to death.

Just as the day was watching, the dull drum beat came "dong dong dong"

Accompanied by the sound of drums, there were also autumn insects and birds, and with a "whoosh", the military tent was opened, and Li Laiheng walked out with a long knife in armor, listening carefully to the sound of war drums in the night sky.

"The drums are beating! Gather! After Li Laiheng confirmed that it was indeed a war drum, he immediately ordered, and Huang Jun on the side also reacted and began to shout: "Assemble!" Gather! ”

"Damn, you really don't want people to sleep! This damn King Li Yan! Hao Yongzhong also got up from the couch when he heard the drums, scolded and scolded, opened the military tent, and shouted angrily to the soldiers under him who were still confused: "Assemble quickly!" Want to lose your head? ”

With the sound of drums, the reserve army became restless, and the soldiers opened their blurred eyes one after another, and began to assemble, of course, those who had just woken up, the execution could be seen, and several sentinels took a lot of time to assemble.

Zhang Hong was the first army to assemble, he understood Li Yan's temperament, so he made targeted arrangements at night, directly let the soldiers sleep according to the formation of the formation, once they woke up, they could get up and complete the formation, and then take the soldiers to report directly.

Followed by Hao Yongzhong's army, Hao Yongzhong has a violent personality, and he is not polite to his subordinates, and those who have been opposed before were whipped thirty lashes, and the soldiers are afraid of him, so the execution is also exceptionally fast.

On the contrary, Li Laiheng and Huang Junlai, who have always treated their subordinates well, were a little slower, and it was too late for the drums to stop, and they had already violated Li Yanding's military discipline.

Gao Yigong personally beat the drum to show that he attached great importance to it, and Li Yan was already standing on the high platform and waiting.

"Roll call!" Wang Jinbao shouted loudly at the assembled army, he played the role of Li Yan's own soldiers, and he was responsible for these things.

The way of roll call is not to be counted by people, that is too troublesome, Li Yan combined with the characteristics of the army in later generations, and directly brought in the "number reporting system", and reported the number yourself, and you don't need to have a high level of education, just be able to count.

The advantage of reporting the number is indeed very high, and it didn't take much time to point out how many people were below, of course, two or three mistakes were missed during the period, otherwise it could be faster, and the soldiers who made mistakes had already slipped out of Li Yanti.

"Watching the army, there should be 1,200 people, but it is actually 1,187 people," Wang Jinbao solemnly replied.

"Okay, got it, which army is missing?" Li Yan turned his head to look at Wang Jinbao and asked.

"It's the direct team of General Gao ......," Wang Jinbao glanced at Gao Yigong and said tremblingly.

Gao Yigong's face turned red when he heard this, and he just remembered beating the drums, and he didn't have time to govern his soldiers, so he made this joke.

At the same time as Gao Yigong blushed, the thirteen who were late came late, and it could be seen that they had worked very hard, and they were out of breath when they ran, but unfortunately they were too tired to sleep, and they didn't catch up after all.

Li Yan glanced at the pillar of incense that was already halfway through, sighed secretly, waved his hand and said, "Take it!" ”

After finishing speaking, several wolf-like soldiers rushed forward to control all the thirteen people, looked at Li Yan and waited for him to fall.

"Guanjun, wronged! We got up and rushed here, but it was too far away to catch up! Please watch the army spare our lives! Several of the controlled soldiers begged for mercy.

Li Yan was unmoved, and said loudly to the soldiers who were staring at him below: "Military law, it has been stated before, those who beat the drum incense more than half and do not come, will be killed!" Whatever the reason, you can't break the rules because of this, this is the army! Soldiers' bento is to obey orders as their duty! Even if you want to and pee, even if you hear the drum, you have to pull in the crotch of your pants! ”

"There is no forgiveness for these thirteen! Chop! ”

With Li Yan's order, without too much nonsense and process, the pro-soldiers directly drew their knives and beheaded all the thirteen people who were still begging for mercy.

The soldiers in the audience were in an uproar, thirteen people! Kill if you say kill! Li Yan is really the king of Hades, so ruthless.

And Li Laiheng and Huang Jun were also stunned, shocked by Li Yan's decisiveness and viciousness, thirteen lives were cut when they said they were cut, it can be seen that this person simply treats human lives like mustard.

Hao Yongzhong is okay, he is not a humanitarian person, and he even praised this scene.

Killing thirteen people can be regarded as intimidating everyone.

Only then did Li Yan slowly speak: "In the army that arrived after the drums stopped, the officers above the rank of even rank are out of the ranks!" ”

Hearing this, there was another uproar below, and Li Laiheng and Huang Jun also came out of the queue nervously, trembling and looking at Li Yan who was standing on the stage like a killing god.

"Because the generals can't command their soldiers very well, if they fight in the future, how can they defeat the enemy?" Li Yan reprimanded sharply: "Take off their clothes, and each of them will have twenty rods!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers were shocked, even sentry officers like Li Laiheng and Huang Jun were not spared, and the soldiers took off their clothes, pressed them on the bench and began to beat the military staff.

At this moment, Gao Yigong yelled at Wang Jinbao: "Come!" Remove my armor! My subordinates are also late, I am also responsible as the chief officer, and I am the chief general of the whole army, and the crime is one more degree! Sixty rods! ”

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and even Gao Yigong, who was the chief sentinel, personally received the punishment, which shows the strictness of military discipline, Li Laiheng and Huang Jun were still a little unconvinced at first, thinking that such a soldier would be difficult to gather, but seeing that Gao Yigong came to receive the punishment in person, he had no other thoughts.

This was not arranged by Li Yan, but Gao Yigong's initiative to receive punishment did double the effect of Li Yan Liwei, after all, the chief officer could not be spared under military law, who would dare to be lucky in the future?

"Do you see clearly? No matter who violates military discipline, even if it is Gao Zongsen, even if it is me, I cannot be exempted from the crime! So don't leave anything to chance! I'm a murderer! Li Yan scolded sharply.

Hearing this, the soldiers all swallowed their saliva, and many people had already glanced at the thirteen heads rolling on the ground, and these people were unfortunately using their lives to become a model for Li Yanzheng's military discipline.

After dealing with the lateness, Li Yan looked at the few people who had reported the wrong number before, and said slowly: "Although it was not agreed before, if you make such a mistake in the military formation, it will be a major matter that affects the robes, and I can't tolerate you, but it is the first offense, and each of them will receive twenty military sticks." ”

Being able to receive 20 military sticks is already an "extrajudicial grace" for these soldiers who have seen Li Yan's thunderous methods, and they all kowtow to apologize, and then secretly rejoiced to receive 20 military sticks.

This night, thirteen heads, plus the butts of Yigong and others, completely set up the rules for the reserve army, no one will think that the military discipline of the reserve army is child's play, everyone knows that Li Yan is really serious on the issue of military discipline, if you violate military discipline, don't say that you are an ordinary non-commissioned officer or officer, even if you are a chief officer like Gao Yigong, you can't escape......
