Zhang Yang thought very clearly, in order to conduct a thousand-man melee on the plateau, it is not enough to have strength, it is necessary to learn the skills of combat, learn to cooperate, and in these fifteen days, some movements will be trained into habits.

However, he is very confident that the Tibetan people are still in the stage of wrestling and wrestling, advocating personal bravery, and tomorrow Soto will definitely lead a group of powerful fighters out. Strength often means a higher weight, a more bloated body, and certainly not as flexible as the thinner recruits in front of you. As long as they can cooperate well, use the terrain to pull, disrupt the pace of their attack, and ten people protect each other and move in unison, they can become ten people fighting four or five people, so they can't win?

Then you can only go back to building guns and cannons, with thermal weapons.

It's impossible to lose, it's impossible to lose in this life.

The hardships of the intermediate training are not shown for the time being, these thousand people are fighting for their lives, although they are depressed in their hearts, they all grit their teeth and persevere, try their best to meet the requirements of the commander, and try their best to do their best.

Zhang Yang racked his brains to give this thousand-strong army the name of a team of brave soldiers to boost morale.

On the tenth day, in order to test the effect, Zhang Yang responded to Lou Shide's verification request, and Lou Shide did not want to interfere with Zhang Yang's training, but if he lost, Zhou Jun could not afford to lose this person.

Zhang Yang randomly selected a group for the combat test, and the officers under Lou Shuai's account also contributed their best ten infantrymen.

Ten warriors each raised their weapons and rushed towards Zhang's army. Ten people in the first team of the Yongwu Army, retreat a few steps to the left rear, ten warriors have the first and the last, but they are also very alert, immediately adjust the formation, pace, although the ten people have succession, but still press over at about the same speed, but the Yongwu Army has completed the fan-shaped formation, between every three people someone is responsible for defense, someone is responsible for attacking, and someone is responsible for dealing with teammates' negligence and harassment. The powerful man holds a mace and is responsible for defending against the enemy's weapons, the hard-hitting, nimble one uses a sharp spear for cover, and the other uses a broadsword to slash. The weapons were wrapped in cloth to avoid damage to the soldiers, but they were all real efforts.

The training time is still short, and the cooperation is not particularly tacit, but it is better than the miscellaneous soldiers composed of other barracks, fighting separately, they are all blindly slashing with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and after ten blows, their strength is greatly reduced, and they may not be able to hit the target.

At the end of the melee, only three people did not survive the first offensive due to their lack of combat experience and were eliminated, and the other seven defeated the rest of the people, and Zhang Yang's randomly selected recruit team won the victory.

Lou Shide watched the whole battle, nodded with great satisfaction, he thought that Zhang Yang was too idealistic, but now it seems that his method really works. The soldiers of the Zhou army are mostly from the same area, and it is also hoped that the soldiers will cooperate with each other to fight and protect each other, but when they go to the battlefield, they only have the enemy in their eyes, so they can't care about the surrounding situation, and inexperienced people don't even know how to dodge the attack at all, it's all you who stab me, and I smash you, not to mention protecting your fellow villagers. Today's flamboyant formation and training method are indeed very beneficial, and it can be said that it is an important progress in the formation arrangement. Whether it can really play a role can only be tested by this battle.

The fifteenth came in a flash, and the night before, Lou Shide granted Zhang Yang's request and ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous meal, "You are right, everyone is full of food and drink tonight, and tomorrow you will have the strength to kill the enemy." ”

Zhang Yang instructed everyone to eat until they were full, not to be hungry and injured, which would affect their strength, and not to be too full and unable to move flexibly.

After dawn, the Tibetan general Soto came with a thousand warriors, and Zhang Yang immediately brought out a thousand brave soldiers. These thousand people, sure enough, are all hideous-looking, with wide hips and wide bodies, they must all be wrestlers.

Soto: "General Zhang still has a large army behind him, so if he loses, he will leave me here and wait, and he will not accept this agreement." ”

Zhang Yang: "I am the state of etiquette in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am willing to gamble and lose, there is no possibility of breaking my promise, the army is just here to watch the battle and cheer." However, General Soto brought a thousand men, and after Zhang Yang was defeated, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to return to the camp. ”

Soto: "I, a Tibetan warrior, will never lose to anyone, it is useless to say more, General Zhang is also a happy person, now go to war." Are you ready, Tubo children? ”

A thousand warriors of Tibet shouted in unison, "Kill, kill, kill." ”

Zhang Yang said coldly, "Line up and meet the enemy." ”

Then a hundred fans were listed on the relatively flat plateau, ready for the first round of the Tibetan offensive.

The battle was about to break out, the weapons of the two sides were staggered, the sound of iron intersecting was endless, and there were constantly Tibetan soldiers inserting weapons into the chests of the brave soldiers, and there were also constantly swords and guns of the brave soldiers cutting into the waists, legs, and necks of the Tibetan soldiers. The number of people on both sides was decreasing, blood was pouring all over the ground, many brave soldiers who had gone to the battlefield for the first time were screaming, and their comrades-in-arms who had eaten and lived together in the past were lying on the ground, unable to get up again.

The two sides fought for more than fifteen minutes, and Tubo was defeated, so in order to preserve his combat strength, Soto raised a white flag, and Zhang Yang also ordered to withdraw his troops when he saw this. After another moment, the two sides finally separated, but there was a strong hatred in their eyes, and today the two sides fought the first battle for their own honor, leaving the blood and tears of the first day in this land.

Counting the battle losses, the Tibetan army still had 672 soldiers, of which 221 were seriously wounded, and the others were all killed. One hundred and twenty people were killed in the brave army, and the wounded have not been counted yet, and those who were seriously injured tried not to fall, and they did their best to cover their comrades where they could play a role.

Soto ordered someone to transport the corpses of the Tibetan soldiers back, and Zhang Yang spoke to stop them.

Zhang Yang: "The souls of the Tubo warriors have returned to their homeland, and Zhang Yang can be released, but these armor and iron weapons on the ground are all trophies of my Zhou Dynasty, so they naturally have to stay." ”

Soto: "Today's soldiers under General Zhang's command are brave, Soto admires, and the next time he fights, he will inevitably be ashamed of today." ”

At that moment, the body was cleaned up, buried on the spot, and worshipped.

After dragging for an hour, Soto led the remaining soldiers, taking every three steps, chanting "Great Zhou Might" until they returned to the Tibetan camp. Because of this battle, he led a thousand warriors to the battle and was defeated, which damaged the morale of Tibet, and Soto was beaten with thirty lashes, which was very annoying and underestimated the enemy.

After all, they trained for half a month, helped each other in this half month, and had some feelings, but these comrades-in-arms could never come back. Moreover, entering the battlefield this time, participating in the struggle with knives and guns, and seeing the bloodshed that I had never seen before, it was still a great stimulus to the psychology of these soldiers.

The rest of the people in the big tent were very happy about this, after all, they had won the battle.

Lou Shide happily praised Zhang Yang: "The first battle was won, there is a way to train the troops, the commander will immediately ask for credit for you, and wait until the holy decree comes down, and you will be the official general of my Great Zhou in the future, I hope you can become a fierce general, keep in mind the duty of being a general, love the soldiers, and defend the territory." ”
