Chapter 37 Farming and fighting in one

"There are no special techniques, just let them practice one move every day. As long as they practice more, everyone can do it!"

"Just practice one move?"

Han Xianchu was surprised and said: "How to defend yourself when the enemy comes with swords and guns?"

Zhang Yue said calmly: "I have never considered defense in my eyes. If you shoot out with a spear, either the enemy will die or you will die! Avoiding on the battlefield will disrupt the military formation."

Han Xianchu was stunned for a while and said: "It's just that if this happens, there will inevitably be casualties."

Zhang Yue looked at the people around him and said calmly: "In war, people always die, and this is the method with the fewest deaths."

Although Han Xianchu knew that what Zhang Yue said was correct, he still couldn't help but shuddered.

Li Mao and Yang Jiang looked at each other, both of them pale. Such an army is too terrifying. They ignore life and death and move forward indomitably. They only compete for each other's casualties.

Whoever can persist to the end will win. And only practicing one move greatly speeds up the formation of an army.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of such an army are equally obvious. To reduce casualties, the only way is to have good armor and deepen the technical proficiency of the sergeants. In wartime, as long as you use 30% to 50% of what you usually learn, you can be invincible.

But this is not a problem at all for the Han army. The Han army in this era happens to have the best armor and weapons!

…

After this demonstration, Han Xianchu and others finally accepted Zhang Yuexin's training methods.

"kill!"

"Raise the gun!"

"kill!"

The infantry of Bingtun are undergoing rigorous training. After a month, they finally took shape.

The formation was neat and uniform, and the spears were thrust out together every time. The scene was so magnificent that Han Xianchu and others were filled with satisfaction.

In order to form an army as soon as possible, Zhang Yue has strictly ordered officers at all levels to be present in person for the past month.

During daily practice under Zhang Yue's strict orders, officers at all levels walked back and forth with their military sticks in hand. To see who didn't have the right posture and inaccurate strength, they just stepped forward and gave them a good beating, making everyone lift their full armor.

The spirit is strong and I dare not slack off even a little bit.

Of course, just forcing them will not work. In addition to big sticks, sweet dates are also needed to train soldiers.

Zhang Yue not only provided ample food and wine for his soldiers every day, but also set up various awards.

…

With the flags flying, Zhang Yue rode his horse around the teaching field and climbed to the high platform of the school field amid the cheers of the entire army.

Standing on the stage, Zhang Yue looked around and saw that the soldiers were arranged in neat small square formations based on the tun.

Zhang Yue's heart was agitated. This is his army. Although there are only more than 500 people now, they will grow stronger sooner or later. There will definitely be more and more in the future, and he will command them and fight in the north and south, using his hands to fight.

The sword creates a greater living space for Zhu Xia.

"Second and third sons, we are all gentlemen of Xia."

After Zhang Yue gave a simple speech, he officially announced that Bingqu was an army.

Zhang Yue's Bingqu was very different from the previous Han army in terms of equipment and training.

The equipment of infantry is obviously different. In the past, the infantry of the Han army were mainly equipped with three kinds of long weapons: Ge, halberd and spear. In addition, they were also equipped with some light soldiers who used short soldiers.

Now Zhang Yue's Bingtun infantry are mainly equipped with weapons he calls guns.

However, the guns of the Han army were different from those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the extensive use of firearms, the army began to use light armor or no armor, so the gun heads were very short.

But the current era is different. It is a period of rapid development of armor. Whether it is the Han army or the Xiongnu, the armor of the soldiers is getting stronger and stronger.

This requires that the weapon's armor-breaking ability must be strong. When Zhang Yue designed the long gun, he greatly lengthened the length of the gun head to obtain better armor-breaking effects.

The same is true for the cavalry. In Zhang Yue's army, the lancers have completely replaced the original heavy halberd cavalry, and the soldiers' equipment also uses lances instead of halberds.

Because when performing a wall charge, the heavy halberd will be very inconvenient and will affect the combat effectiveness.

It's just that the cavalry's guns are different from those of the infantry. The barrels of the cavalry are all made of fragile paulownia wood.

Zhang Yue actually thought about using the cavalry saber of modern cavalry, but unfortunately after testing it, he decisively gave up this stupid idea.

In modern times, the cavalry faced unarmored targets, but the cavalry in this period faced armored targets.

The cavalry sword is very ineffective against heavy armor and is easily broken under severe impact.

Although the lance can also break, it is easier to recycle and the manufacturing cost itself is lower!

Soon after the formation ceremony, it was time for the autumn harvest.

This was the Han army's first harvest since they started fielding in the Western Regions. Not only Zhang Yue was very concerned about it, but Han Feng, Li Ling and even the Chang'an court were also very concerned about it.

On the day of the official harvest, not only Han Feng arrived in person, but Da Sinong and Cavalry Captain Li Ling also sent people to supervise.

Under the supervision of a large group of officials, large and small, the autumn harvest of Longjiao Fort has begun!

The Guining people who had just been organized into households held sickles and began to harvest.

Han Feng stood in the field holding a sword in his hand. He was very excited when he saw the harvest in front of him.

This thousand acres of fertile land seemed to have turned into a battlefield, and the densely packed corn seemed to be the enemy's soldiers.

It turns out that farming can also make people's blood pumping.

By nightfall, 700 acres of fertile farmland had been harvested.

Han Feng felt that the corn harvest this time seemed to be more than he expected, so he couldn't help but ask an agricultural officer next to him: "In your opinion, how much corn can be harvested this year?"

The agricultural officer couldn't express the joy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face

"The exact number can only be weighed after it has been dried, threshed and winnowed. But I just checked it carefully.

According to my rough estimate, the amount of corn in this field is no less than two stones and two bushels per mu."

"Two stones, two buckets, so much?"

Although Han Feng had never farmed his own land, he still knew how much food an acre of land could produce. He said that the yield of his family's fertile land in Guanzhong was only two dan.

The farmer stroked his beard and said: "In normal times of good weather, the best farmland in Guanzhong is only worth two stones and two buckets. I never thought that in this bitter cold land outside the Great Wall, Zhang Junhou could actually grow so much food. It's really

What a great talent!”

Han Feng was also very satisfied: "I didn't expect that Zhang Junhou is not only good at fighting, but also so powerful in this kind of field. It seems that we will have to learn more from Zhang Junhou in the future!"

The officers, big and small, all around nodded in agreement and kept praising Zhang Yue.

At the same time, he was secretly thinking about how to get some good farmers from Zhang Yue back.

The Guining people who were originally looked down upon by them have now become treasures in their eyes...
