Hearing that Li Chengzhi was silent and still breathing cold air, Guo Cunxin's tone suddenly dropped: "Is it possible that you are really moved?"
Li Chengzhi came back to his senses and said instinctively: "I'm just a little surprised!"
I’m surprised that Zhang Jingzhi is so direct, and I’m also surprised that Zhang Jingmo’s temperament is so outstanding.
There was also the sound of the bowls being touched. Thinking about it now, it was probably not an accident...
Under the moonlight, he could vaguely see Li Chengzhi wandering in the sky, and Guo Cunxin was even more furious.
Are you still saying you are not tempted?
"You idiot, don't even think about it, how old will you be in three years?"
How old?
"Only twenty..."
Li Chengzhi had a thought in his heart and blurted it out without even thinking about it.
"I...I...I'm so angry..."
Guo Cunxin roared violently, as if he was angry from embarrassment. He raised his riding crop and whipped it hard, as if he was whipping Li Chengzhi.
Hearing a whimper from the war horse, he dashed forward and ran away like an arrow from a string.
No matter how bright the moon is, it's still night, how can you dare to run like this?
Li Chengzhi was startled and quickly ordered Li Xian to follow.
Then he realized: Could it be that his uncle really wanted to promise his cousin to him, so he was angry?
Are you kidding? You can’t even beat me to death!
He smiled slightly, gently pinched the horse's belly, and followed.
……
Early morning three days later, the military camp outside the city.
The sun slowly jumped out of the horizon, shining through the clouds and dispersing the mist. The mist turned into dewdrops, hanging on the leaves and grass, making them crystal clear.
Birds can be heard chirping everywhere, crisp and loud. There is a faint smell of grass and cooking smoke in the air. The knight rides his horse in the wind, and the cool water vapor hits his face, which is cool and refreshing.
A group of Wutang riders rode from west to east, heading straight for the camp, but they neither raised their flags nor blew their whistles.
After riding through the pond, a convoy like a giant dragon bypassed the pass of Kongtong Mountain and appeared in the wilderness.
There are 200 grain carts alone, and there are more than 600 war horses.
It’s a journey of 1,300 miles, almost day and night, and it’s been half a month.
He finally came back, maybe Li Chengzhi was impatient?
Hu Baozong wiped his stubbled face, took off his water bag, and drank several large gulps.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the width of the military camp in the distance became clearer and clearer. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a drum, and I saw a dense crowd of soldiers leaving the camp and marching in formation to the school grounds.
Hu Baozong naturally knew Li Chengzhi's rules: regardless of infantry or cavalry, soldiers must gather together before leaving camp for training every day and after returning to camp after training.
I won’t mention what I will practice next, but this formation must be practiced at least twice a day.
If you practice like this every day, when it comes time to actually gather for the expedition, how can you feel unhappy?
The process of tapping is not complicated. Li Chengzhi basically copied the template of later generations:
Before paying out the account, the chief will check it first, how many have arrived, how many are missing, who they are, what the reason is, etc.
After each team assembles, each team leader will report to the team leader. After gathering in the audience, each team leader will report again to the brigade commander, who will then report to Li Chengzhi.
In addition, the merits of each team and each brigade will be recorded in detail in the military documents and handed over to the sergeant.
Therefore, not only the commanders of each building, but also the commander of the brigade knew how many soldiers under his command were sent out today, and whether those who did not come were sick or for other reasons. Even Li Chengzhi and Guo Cunxin knew it clearly.
After that, it is time to send the team doctor to the team doctor. The records that need to be recorded do not need to indicate that there is a soldier's illness or other changes. It still needs to be reported layer by layer, and then approved layer by layer. It can be done on the spot.
Solved.
When Hu Baozong met him for the first time, he almost knelt down in front of Li Chengzhi.
In 99% of Wei's military camps, even if there are a few team leaders missing, the commanders may not even know, let alone ordinary soldiers?
Let's not talk about whether to treat the soldiers' illnesses or not, and why the soldiers did not return to camp. In this situation where the soldiers are ordered to eat twice a day, which soldier dares to eat empty pay and drink the soldiers' blood?
Don’t want to die?
……
Hu Baozong squinted and looked, feeling that there seemed to be many more people and more tents...
Well, isn’t that right?
When did there be such a thing as a tent in a barracks?
It’s not that Li Chengzhi wasn’t prepared, it’s that he didn’t need it at all.
There are many farms outside Chaona City, and most of them cover a very large area. When choosing a camp, Li Chengzhi picked the four largest ones nearby.
The nearest one is for the cavalry, and the remaining three are basically close to each other. One is a combat barracks, one is an auxiliary and baggage camp, and the other is a blacksmithing camp, which is also Li Chengzhi's command camp.
The total number of cavalry, soldiers and auxiliary troops can only be worth four thousand soldiers. If one person lives in one room, there are more than four hundred houses in several farms?
Naturally, there is no need for a tent.
But looking at it now, the cavalry battalion and the armored battalion are still there, but the infantry battalion and the auxiliary battalion have disappeared?
To be precise, the village wall disappeared and was replaced by the wooden Jumazhai wall, which was more than twice as wide and had three more arrow towers on each side.
Those buildings are also there, but in addition to the buildings, there are two to three hundred additional tents.
One account means one thing.
Is it possible that Li Chengzhi recruited another three thousand troops?
Suspicious in his heart, Hu Baozong subconsciously tightened his horse and leaned forward.
The further he walked, the more frightened Hu Baozong became.
You don’t even need to look at the camp tent, just look at the people.
There were four to five thousand infantrymen in white armor, and the teams were all so well-trained. Following the commander's shouts, they lined up quickly and neatly, and then trotted to the audience.<
/p>
The marching speed is not slow, but the queue is not disordered at all.
That's all. After all, Hu Baozong has seen Li Chengzhi's methods of training troops and formations. It has been twenty years, so it is not surprising that he has trained a few more brigades of auxiliary troops.
But when he saw more than a thousand cavalry galloping from the cavalry camp below the city, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
The horse speed is not slow, and it does not even slow down when turning. Even if the horse is half leaning, it will pass by. It is obvious that these are all people with excellent riding skills, and it is impossible to train them in such a short few days.
of.
But the problem is, he only had 300 cavalry when he left. Where did the extra 700 or 800 come from?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hu Baozong was so impatient that he could not wait to rush to Li Chengzhi to ask clearly. He subconsciously wanted to hit his horse and run away.
But before the whip could be whipped down, the soldiers around him reminded him: "Colonel, command flag!"
He looked up and saw a soldier standing on the archery tower on the west side of the school ground, holding a triangular green flag and pointing it at them.
Hu Baozong helplessly stopped the horse.
I have seen Li Chengzhi give serious military orders more than once. The phrase "military orders are like mountains" is definitely not an empty phrase.
If he dares to move forward again, the soldiers on the turret will definitely dare to shoot arrows.
"Raise the flag, stop!" Hu Baozong gave the order to the flag soldiers beside him.
It was also a green flag. The soldiers held it up and waved it back three times, which meant to postpone the march...
After repeated research and improvement by Li Chengzhi, compared with the existing flag orders in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of flag orders for the White Armored Soldiers increased a lot.
Some military orders depend on the color of the flag, some depend on its shape, and some depend on the pattern on the flag, as well as the direction, movement, and speed of the soldiers raising the flag and waving it.
Sometimes, these points should be combined.
Although it is a bit more complicated, and the difficulty of training flag soldiers has also increased a lot, it is much more reliable than sending fast horses to report during a war, and at least the time is more than twice as fast.
Of course, correspondingly, the requirements for soldiers and generals are much higher, and the selection of flag soldiers is even more stringent: not only must they be literate, but they must also be descendants of the Li family.
Li Chengzhi specially compiled a "Flag and Drum Order Code". He did not publish it for fear of leaking it. But every night he would personally give it to the brigade commander, the cavalry leader, the Li family leader who served as the infantry leader, and the flag order.
Bing teaches.
Then there will be one test in three days and one test in five days...
It's okay to be a flag soldier, because the Li family has a family tradition, and most of the retainers' children are literate. Plus they are young and have quick minds, so it is not too difficult to learn.
But there is no way to choose the leader of the army. It must be based on experience. Moreover, most of the soldiers with foreign surnames that Li Chengzhi exchanged for his armor were from poor backgrounds, and many of them could not even write their own names. p>
As a result, all the military leaders were tortured to the point of death.
Especially Li Shi and Li Feng, when they heard about the exam, they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Li Chengzhi.
The former has a poor memory and forgets when he turns around, while the latter is simply illiterate.
In just ten days, the two of them had almost half of their monthly salary deducted, and the total number of whips they received was almost a hundred...
……
"Captain, please wait a moment. The military formation will disperse in a moment at most, and you can enter the camp then!"
Hu Baozong looked back and saw that Li Song had arrived behind him at some point.
He pointed towards the school grounds in surprise and doubt: "Where are there so many soldiers?"
"It's probably a war again, and it's still a big war!"
Li Song sighed sadly and pointed to the nearest baggage camp: "Otherwise, where would there be so many mules and horses?"
Hu Baozong took a look and saw that a dozen old and weak men from the Li family and a dozen monks were driving a large group of donkeys, mules, and horses out of Lao Village, as if they were going to graze at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the number of mules and horses, there are at least a thousand.
Farmers like to raise cattle the most, followed by donkeys, mules, and horses. There may only be so many in the whole county. Moreover, it is spring plowing, how can they all rush to the military camp?
If this was not captured after a war, could it have fallen from the sky?
Hu Baozong was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "You bastard Wangba, why did you start a war as soon as grandpa left?"
Li Song glared at him: If you can, come closer and shout again?
He is not angry, but a little depressed.
This was clearly a big victory, and it was probably a battle involving tens of thousands of people, but you didn’t even get a hair?
Apart from being depressed, he was even more surprised.
With so many mules and horses, and even hundreds of elite cavalry captured, this is definitely the elite of the bandit army.
How did Lang Jun win?
……
In about half an hour, the ointment was completed, each team was practicing on the spot, and the teams were lining up to leave the camp, in an orderly manner.
Perhaps after receiving the order, the soldiers in the west corner tower blew a whistle and raised the black flag and waved it twice, which meant that they could move forward.
Li Song also asked the soldiers to raise the flag, and the motorcade began to march.
After walking about ten feet, they saw the middle door of the camp open and heard three more drums.
Then I saw a group of white cavalry holding colorful flag tents, standing on both sides of the village gate.
This standard is not low, and is usually displayed only when greeting an envoy or a victorious master.
But Hu Baozong still cursed: "What's the use of just pretending? Every time grandpa leaves, you will have a fucking war..."
Hearing him curse halfway, he suddenly fell silent? Li Song looked up and saw that it was Li Chengzhi who came out in person.
He immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Hu Baozong was definitely not moved because he was afraid that Li Chengzhi would deal with him after hearing this...
