Half a month later, it was held in the barracks and school yard ten miles north of the city. Yan Ji is more than eight feet tall, very stout, and has infinite strength, and can carry a big tripod weighing 700 catties. A pair of seventy-pound hammers were used for their riding skills, and their bowing skills were not bad. The only drawback is that it is a bit straightforward. After speaking, Gongsun Yue looked at He Bai strangely, with a strange expression.

He Bai couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, he was afraid that in Gongsun Yue's mind, he was also a simple-minded guy. Don't blame him, who let his first impression of him be like this. However, pretending to be stupid also has the advantage of pretending to be stupid, which can make the enemy look down on you.

He Bai said secretly: "Make a pair of seventy-pound iron hammers heavier than my fifty-six-pound iron whips, and the strength is greater than mine." But it's okay, martial arts are not the one who is strong wins. Eight feet tall, that's more than 1.85 meters, more than 10 centimeters taller than me. But it's okay, it's only more than ten centimeters tall, which is not too outrageous. Besides, the generals under the command of Gongsun Zhan, except for Zhao Yun later, should not have any fierce generals. ”

"Even if he is the strongest martial artist, Gongsun Zhan, later generations only evaluate that he only has about eighty-six force values in the game. Moreover, the master of using a hammer in the Three Kingdoms is only Wu Anguo under the command of Kong Rong of Beihai County, so this strict discipline should not be a big deal. I don't have enough martial arts experience at this time, but I can resist Dian Wei for twenty rounds, how can I have about eighty points of force value. Compared to Yan Ji, even if he doesn't win, he won't be defeated. ”

After thinking about it, He Bai said: "In this case, please also ask Lord Gongcao to find a few skilled jockeys for me to teach me riding skills, I will definitely practice this riding skills in this half a month, so as not to disappoint Lord Gongcao." ”

Gongsun Yue also knew that riding skills could not be practiced in a day, but at this point, he could only respond helplessly: "That's it." ”

After Gongsun Yue left, He Bai found Cheng Zhang and Fu Xing and said that he knew about it and wanted to ask the two to consult each other. After thinking for a moment, Fu Xing said: "I have long heard that Sun Boqi, the chief of the white horse, is a general, but the promotion of talents does not necessarily rely on superb martial arts and riding and archery skills, and it also requires the ability of the army in other aspects. Why did Gong Cao only mention equestrianism? ”

He Bai said with a smile: "Gongsun Taishou chose the deputy commander of the personal guard cavalry 'White Horse Yicong', as long as the martial arts are strong enough, what else do you want." Besides, Gongsun Taishou has a strong personal talent, I heard that he has a faint shortcoming, and he doesn't like people who are stronger than him in a certain aspect, so this time the selection of deputy generals, as long as the martial arts are enough, obedient will be. The rest is not thought of by himself. ”

Cheng Zhang asked thoughtfully: "So, my lord, you are a general under Gongsun Taishou, and it is only temporary?" ”

He Bai turned his head and looked around, thinking that he wanted to lead these two people as henchmen, and he couldn't help but reveal something with them, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Gongsun Taishou has a thousand bad things, but one is excellent." It is because he was born humble, had a bumpy experience in his early years, and fought all the year round, and he never had the decadent preferences of the children of wealthy families to pamper and eat, drink and have fun. ”

"He is also very sincere in his treatment of people, and he is also brave and loyal to officials, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has made outstanding achievements. For people like us who are also born from humble backgrounds, I value them very much. I don't like to go out to the rich and noble talents, saying that these people are already very rich, and they will take it for granted and will not be grateful. ”

"I don't say what is right or wrong in this statement, but at least I and these guilty people are under the command of Gongsun Taishou, and they are no less than to heaven. It's just that success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. My ambitions are as lofty as those of Gongsun Taishou, but under his command there is no possibility of surpassing him. Only after I have made some credit for it and I have some fame, I may be able to use his hand to turn to others. ”

Fu Xing was taken aback and asked, "Isn't it the will of the lord to be too shou of a county?" I don't know what the will of the lord is? ”

He Bai said proudly: "If you don't serve as the third duke, you don't have ten thousand households, I have a life, and I am willing to give up." ”

Cheng Zhang and Fu Xing were taken aback, and bowed and said: "Lord Hongzhi, I will help Lord Gong to take him a marquis of ten thousand households......

In the next half month, He Bai hid in a small village courtyard in the east of the city and concentrated on practicing equestrianism. The matter of training personal guards can only be arranged for the content to be drilled, and then Fu Xing and Chengzhang will preside over it.

The two of them felt strange and strange about He Baida's different from the current popular method of military training. At this time, the training focuses on the individual soldier's killing skills. For example, if you want to be a pavilion chief, you need to be proficient in swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, and so on. The fierce generals who charge into battle are all eighteen kinds of weapons, and they can kill the enemy if they pick up anything during the melee.

When the two armies fought, although there was a formation at the beginning. However, once the battle began, the two armies suddenly mixed into a group, and each fought with troops, teams, and tuns. Personal bravery plays a great role in this, and it is not a problem to capture the flag. It's just that since the two of them have agreed with He Bai as master and slave, they don't dare to disagree, so they can only obey orders.

Time flies, half a month passed quickly, after the jockey who is good at riding carefully teaching, He Bai and hard daily practice, riding skills are finally not bad, He Bai asked himself can fight with people on the horse freely.

And He Bai's fourteen personal guards, after being specially trained by Fu Xing and Cheng Zhang according to He Bai's requirements, it is impossible to say how powerful their personal martial arts are, and they may have regressed a little. It's just that their actions are the same, and the orders are forbidden, and they feel that fourteen people are the same person.

This surprised Fu Xing, who had experience in commanding troops, every day was just some ordinary queue training, turning left and right, forward and backward or something, so that there was a faint appearance of the legendary formation. This surprised Fu Xing, who had previously had formation training, because Zhang Jiao had also practiced formation formations with Taiping Taoists back then, but in the end he didn't succeed.

At this time, the method of training troops is more probably, although the formation is important, but without more than ten years of hard training of elite soldiers, it is impossible to put it up. Even if it's arranged, it's just a showcase. Just like the soldiers and horses in the early years of the Song Dynasty, a formation can be said to be invincible in the world. But later, the same formation, with unrefined soldiers and horses, suddenly became a good thing, and nine out of ten battles were lost.

If you want to talk about formations, the legend has passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that there are ten formations, but very few people really understand them. During the Three Kingdoms period, basically no one put it up, only Cao Cao and Cao Ren's "Eight Gate Golden Lock Array" and Zhuge Liang's "Eight Array Diagram". It can also be said to be one, because the "Eight Array Diagram" is an upgraded version of the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array".

In the early days, it was a melee of warlords, and the day was precarious, and there was no time to practice elite soldiers and practice formations. Later, the Three Kingdoms were established, and it took decades of war in a row to have the idle kung fu and elite soldiers to practice the formation formation. The reason why Zhuge Liang was able to win more with fewer enemies and more losses was because of that formation. It's just that the offensive and defensive of the "Eight Formations" are good, but the maneuver is poor, although it can defeat the enemy, it can't annihilate the enemy, so Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition can't be successful.

Fu Xing couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao had taught Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and the disciples the formation, but unfortunately there were very few people who could understand, only Qu Shuai Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, and Ma Yuanyi could understand. Although he was born in a yellow turban wrestler, he often served Zhang Liang by his side, but he also gained a lot.

At the beginning, Zhang Jiao divided the Taiping Taoist congregation into 36 parties, with a large number of more than 10,000 people in a total of six, and a small party of 6 or 7,000 people in a total of 30. There will be more than 263,000 people in the 36 parties, which is the magic method that Zhang Jiao prepared to use to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but unfortunately it was short-lived in the battle with Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, and it died with Zhang Jiao's illness and Zhang Liang.

Looking at the brothers in front of him who were almost all able to lead the army commander and the hundred generals, Fu Xing couldn't help but feel secretly ambitious in his heart. Following the side of Lord He Bai, who has great ambitions, he will definitely have the opportunity to lead the army in the future. Since he has obtained the master's miraculous training method at this time, is it possible that there will be a day when the Taiping Dow Array will reappear in the future?

Early in the morning, Gongsun Yue gave He Bai a pair of iron armor and said: "This set of armor was given by my eldest brother when I was in the army, and it was my favorite thing in the old days. It's just that I already have a better one at this point, and it's useless to put it away, so I'll pass it on to you. I hope you will be able to take over the position of deputy commander of the 'White Horse Servant' for me today. ”

He Bai's nose couldn't help but sour, this grandson was more sincere and sincere, which made it difficult for He Bai not to have feelings for him. He Bai said movingly: "Thank you for the love of Lord Gongcao, and I will win this position for my lord." ”

After that, He Bai, Fu Xing, Chengzhang and other sixteen people, riding the good war horses specially allocated by Gongsun Yue, followed all the way to the military camp and school in the north of the city. The barracks of the military camp here are very large, much larger than the county town of Tuyin, and can accommodate 3,000 cavalry troops. Although the strength of a regular brigade in later generations is almost the strength of a regular brigade, because it is all cavalry, plus special logistics personnel, there are more than 5,000 people and more than 6,000 horses.

Unlike the 100,000 or 1 million troops in later games, a county at this time had only about 5,000 troops, and in addition to the necessary defenders, there were only 3,000 mobile troops. And these 3,000 people are already an extremely strong force.

It is necessary to know that the Han Dynasty had a total army of one million, but there were more than 100 counties, and each county had an average of 5,000 people, so it went to 500,000 or 600,000 troops. There would be 10,000 or 20,000 troops in the hands of each state assassin, and this went to another hundred thousand. Luoyang City also had 200,000 troops, and in the end only about 100,000 mobile troops remained. At the beginning, the Yellow Turban thieves who spread across the country were quelled, and what was dispatched was the strength of these hundreds of thousands of mobile troops and soldiers and horses in various counties.

However, there are only four counties in Youbeiping County, more than 10,000 households, and a population of more than 60,000, which cannot support the 5,000 army at all, and can only support about 2,000 guards. And these 3,000 cavalry troops were sent by the court and temporarily commanded by the Taishou of Youbeiping. The grain and grass materials on weekdays are all allocated by Jicheng in Guangyang County, and it is no wonder that Gongsun Zan is a little weak to command this army.

As soon as he entered the barracks, He Bai was quite disappointed. As far as the eye can see, the ravines in the entire camp are obliquely lined, and they are stationed in tun units. The barracks were staggered according to the topography, and there were piles of scattered earth that were quite eye-catching and more than half a person high next to the door of each barracks, like a simple construction site, not at all like a majestic barracks.

There was no kind of soldiers in He Bai's imagination who cheered and greeted, and the spirit was as strong as a mountain, and the sound was rushing to the night. The only living people He Bai could see were the occasional patrol soldier with spears passing through the camp, while most of the other places were silent, as if no one was there. If it weren't for the constant neighing of horses, He Bai would have thought it was an empty camp.

As for these patrol soldiers, after seeing Gongsun Yue and He Bai and their party, they just got out of the way, lined up and waited for them to pass, and then continued to parade, and no one even stepped forward to salute, which completely failed to set off the majesty of Gongsun Yue. I don't know if there will be any difference when the coach Gongsun Chan comes in person.

Could it be that the armies of ancient times should have been like this? In addition to being disappointed, He Bai had such a question in his heart, and was about to ask Fu Xing to solve his doubts. However, the next scene taught him a vivid lesson.

A small commotion suddenly broke out in a barracks in front of them, and in a short time a group of patrol soldiers marched out of the barracks, and several young soldiers were escorted out with their arms twisted behind their backs, each with a gray face and a closed lip. Walking to a place under the erected flag gate, one of the patrol soldiers swung a pole and struck the small gong hanging under the flag gate, and then shouted: "War games are forbidden in the camp, the main offender will be beheaded, and the servant will be whipped twenty." ”

Before the words fell, He Bai saw that the soldiers who were held in custody were tied up with hemp ropes, kneeling on the ground, and then the knives fell in their hands, and then the blood gushed out several feet like a spring, and the heads had already flown away, and the blood was pulled up by the hemp rope and hung on the horizontal log. The other two were stripped of their clothes and pressed in pools of blood, and whipped on their shoulders and backs with a riding whip made of ox tendons.

......Seeing this scene, He Bai took a breath, and the whole person was stunned, and there were only a few headless corpses lying on the ground lying on the ground, still gushing with blood gushing out of their necks. As a soldier of later generations, he never thought of such a cruel military method that would be beheaded at a small time. It wasn't until Gongsun Yue spoke out that he shivered, and the turbid qi accumulated in his chest slowly exhaled out, only to feel chills all over his body.

Gongsun Yue seems to have been accustomed to this, the corpse on the ground has been dragged away, and there are soldiers splashing water to wash the blood on the ground, the two soldiers are still being whipped, and the head hanging on the horizontal wood is still dripping with blood from the bottom, which is very eye-catching. But other than that, there wasn't much commotion in the camp, and it was as calm as if it weren't a few people who had just been killed, but a few chickens. It was this calmness that made He Bai feel more and more shocked.

"This is the so-called order and prohibition in ancient times, Ci is not in charge of the army?"

He Bai didn't know how many times this scene had been staged in various military camps, but he had already really sensed that there was something called "military might" that permeated this camp. Because of its existence, everyone in this camp is no longer an independent individual, and the sense of personal existence is oppressed to the point of being weak and almost non-existent, and the body involuntarily becomes a small component of this huge killing machine! It seems that the ancient armies were not as scattered as they imagined.

It is with this kind of cognition that observing this simple and huge construction site-like camp, He Bai has more feelings. It was found that although the barracks were chaotic, they were connected by paths, and the dirt road was tamped and smoothed, and there were not even slightly larger stones. The mound next to the barracks is generally about the same size, and it should be used to extinguish fires. As for the camps where there are no human figures, it is more as if they have life, like fierce beasts attached to the haystack waiting patiently for their prey to take the bait, which may erupt at any time and choose people to devour!

Soldiers! The so-called fierceness is not the domineering spirit of winning the battle and conquering the battle, nor the tragedy of the sea of corpses and blood, but the indifference to human life and the suppression of human nature!

There are many severe punishments in the army, and strict military law is the best means of managing the army. Fighting a war is a job with a head pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and in order for the soldiers not to be afraid of the enemy's sword, it is necessary to use military law to make them understand that disobeying the order is death, and only by obeying the military order can they survive the death, and there are even heavy rewards. Generals must make their soldiers fear themselves more than the enemy or even death, wielding a stick in one hand and holding a radish in the other, which is the way of generals since ancient times.

Wei Yuzi's military order also said: "The ministers who are good at using soldiers can kill half of the soldiers, then kill the thirteenth, and the eleventh of them." Those who can kill half of it, Weigahaine; Whoever kills the thirteenth of them, he will add the princes; Kill the eleventh of them, and order the soldiers. Therefore, it is said: millions of people do not need to die, it is better to fight ten thousand people; The battle of 10,000 people does not need to die, it is not as good as the struggle of 100 people. Reward is like the sun and the moon, faith is like four hours, orders are like axes, profits are like cadres, and soldiers do not need to die. ”

When He Bai first heard about it, he thought it was a soldier who killed the enemy, and he didn't want to kill his own soldier first. The Kuomintang army at that time seemed to be the commander of the army, which was not to say that it was not harsh, but unfortunately it was still defeated by the Communist Party, which paid more attention to the human rights of soldiers. It seems that at this time, the art of commanding the army cannot be learned, and it is better to focus on ideological education. At this time, people are simple, and in the future, they should think more about suitable ideological education.
