Chapter 213: Performing Martial Arts (Part 2)
Although Gao Yuan has no expression on his face, he is actually quite satisfied in his heart. It is not unusual for veterans to do this. After all, since he joined the army, he has paid great attention to the cultivation of soldiers' military discipline, and recruits can also It made him feel very proud. It seems that he has completely changed the concept of this army. The strict drill of the formation is not only for good looks, but more importantly, it will make an army more efficient. Quickly knead into a whole, so that every soldier in the middle can feel the collective power, and in a subtle way, let the soldiers form strict military discipline. Whether an army can win a battle basically depends on their military discipline , especially in this era of cold weapons, when the two sides set up their battles and tens of thousands began to confront each other, those soldiers with shining blades and arrows as dense as flying locusts could easily collapse.
Looking around at the spectators around, the faces were either shocked or excited, which made him happy. This time, the purpose of inviting them to watch the ceremony was initially achieved, at least let them understand that this army under his command is a strong army , was stronger than any one they had seen before. Compared with these spectators, Bai Yucheng's reaction made Gao Yuan more satisfied. This is a big expert, and he can see some tricks in it. The changes in his face and eyes also represented his achievements in military training.
"Brother Bai, these are just appetizers. The next military drill will focus on tactical drills such as cavalry confrontation and cavalry defeating with cavalry. You are an expert, so you need more advice!" Gao Yuan smiled at Bai Yu.
"Don't dare, Mr. Gao, your army surprised me too much. Now I'm thinking how many surprises you have for me. Now I can't afford to be your army, but I have benefited a lot. It turns out that a team The army can be trained like this." Bai Yucheng said sincerely.
The four phalanx quickly gathered together, and slowly withdrew to the sides, and then. That is, the two combat battalions began to practice tactics and confront each other. On the viewing platform, everyone's appetite has been raised high at this time. After watching the performance of the troops in front, everyone is excited about the various confrontations that will follow. It's full of expectations.
"Lord Gao, with this strong army, our Chima people no longer have to worry about the Donghu people coming to loot wantonly." Zheng Jun took the initiative to walk in front of Gao Yuan, pointed at the energetic army below, and said with emotion: "I am in Chima. In the past few years, the most troublesome thing is to deal with the pension and reconstruction after the Donghu people plunder every year. Seeing the great homeland reduced to ruins under the iron hooves of the Donghu people. That kind of distress and anger is really heartbreaking."
"Master Zheng is right, only a strong army can make the people live and work in peace and contentment. You don't have to worry about everything that you have worked so hard to lose overnight. From now on, the task of protecting the people will be entrusted to me, but Let the people get rich and live a good life, it depends on you and Master Wu." Gao Yuan said.
Zheng Jun glanced at Wu Kai and said with a wry smile: "Fufeng has the wine business of the Wu family that sells to the whole county. This alone has brought countless job opportunities and taxes to Fufeng. The logistics camp of Mr. Gao's army is also there Fufeng, fur, and livestock trade are also concentrated in Fufeng, but my red horse is no match. They are all bitter masters who plan food in the ground.
I don't dare to think about letting them reach the level of Fufeng people."
"Not necessarily." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Since Chima and Fufeng are in the same defensive area, they naturally have to work together. There are many areas for cooperation between the two. After the Chinese New Year, the three of us will sit together and chat. Let's have a good discussion. Master Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Kai nodded and smiled, "Gao Yuan, if you agree, that's fine. After the Chinese New Year, let's get together and talk."
"If this is the case, that would be great!" Zheng Jun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that.
"Okay, let's not talk about that now, but let's watch Gao Yuan's sons perform!" Wu Kai smiled and pointed to the audience, "In front of us, the soldiers are armored and the flags are like clouds, but we are talking about some things that smell like money, which is unavoidable. "
All three of them laughed and turned their heads to look at the audience. Zheng Jun, who had been suffering all this time, finally relaxed.
After a necessary rest, the Fufeng Camp and the Chima Camp entered the battlefield again and carried out various tactical drills. This time, it was not just a performance, but a direct confrontation between the two sides, complex formation changes, Interspersed, encircled, cut, and adjusted the response method according to the change of the opponent's formation, the killing sound shook the sky on the school field, and the smoke and dust billowed.
As before, the layman can only watch the excitement, watching the two teams go back and forth, trying to surround and cut the opponent, but the insider knows very well that this kind of confrontation without gunpowder is actually the test of the troops. The commanding ability of the officers, the ability to deploy infantry, the ability to control the grassroots officers, and the keen insight on the battlefield, if you are not careful, you will be in trouble.
Bai Yucheng is not familiar with infantry combat, but after all, he is a character who climbed out of the bloody mountain and sea of corpses on the battlefield, and he can still understand some mysteries from it. As for the command, I am afraid that he has already lost at this time. Because he was observing, the plans he came up with several times were crushed by the reality below in the blink of an eye. If it was the way it was imagined, then the next step would be to be defeated.
The battle lasted for about an hour, but in the end it was the Fufeng Camp commanded by Sun Xiao who won the battle. The Fufeng Camp completed cutting and encircling the Chima Camp, and the confrontation ended.
Sun Xiaona was triumphant, while Zheng Xiaoyang and Yan Haibo's faces were ashen.
By this time, most of the martial arts performances have been carried out, and the soldiers need to rest in order to recover their physical strength for the second half of the confrontation. The previous martial arts performances did not consume much energy, but the confrontation between the two sides just now exhausted their minds and physical strength.
"Zheng Xiaoyang still wants to win too much." Gao Yuan shook his head, "If he wants to win and is afraid of losing, the psychological burden is too heavy, and he will inevitably worry about gains and losses in command. If he sees the opportunity early, he should shrink and stick to it early, so that even if he can't win, he won't be defeated in the end." Sun Xiao completed the cutting, so that the entire Chima Camp would be wiped out. But he took a chance, and in the last blow, he hoped that Yan Haibo would be able to attack the opponent's general flag and bring down the opponent in one fell swoop to turn defeat into victory. This kind of probability is actually not great, especially since Sun Xiao knows Yan Haibo very well, this kind of assault hits the opponent's arms, Yan Haibo's entire army is wiped out, and Zheng Xiaoyang has no chance to retreat."
Wu Kai chuckled and said, "It's no wonder Zheng Xiaoyang! Think about it, Zheng Xiaoyang is a veteran in the army, and Sun Xiao is even older than you. If he loses, he will lose face. If he sees something wrong, of course he wants to." Take a risk."
"This idea is bad!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "If his adventure is on a real battlefield, he would be joking with the lives of soldiers. It seems that I have to have a good talk with him."
Under the viewing platform, there was the sound of horseshoes. While the infantry was resting, the cavalry led by the infantry began to practice. This lifted Bai Yucheng's spirits. He couldn't speak in the infantry battle. He was an expert in cavalry drills.
The horses were galloping in the arena, and before the cavalry entered the arena, infantry had nailed tree stumps into the arena with sledgehammers. On one side of the arena, human-shaped targets were erected one by one. At this time, with The cavalry led by the infantry were galloping past the viewing stand in a single file.
Drawing the bow, nodding the arrow, screaming the arrow, and falling the target. The targets were shot to the ground one by one. After the cavalry rushed past, all the hundreds of targets erected had fallen down, and some were even inserted into the ground. Shoot a few sharp arrows.
The art of galloping. This is the most difficult skill for cavalry to master.
Putting their bows back to their saddles, the cavalry drew out their sabers, circled the field, and headed straight for the round wooden stakes nailed in the field.
Horses are like swimming dragons, knives are like shooting stars, as the light of the knives rises and falls, logs as thick as teacup mouths are cut off one by one, and they become shorter and shorter. Soldiers had to bend down to cut down the shorter stumps. After a few rounds, the stumps on the field were too short to be cut, and the cavalry just drew back their swords and returned. They had already prepared The pawns rushed forward, wielding a big hammer, and nailed all these hidden piles into the ground one by one, making them level with the ground.
After a little retouching, the cavalry galloped into battle again, but this time they played tricks. The cavalry showed off their equestrian skills to the fullest. The people on the galloping horses seemed to be walking on the ground, and the guests on the viewing platform were all Drunk like crazy.
Bai Yucheng's performance of the cavalry was not as shocking as the fighting power shown by the thousands of infantry, but he always felt that these cavalry were different from his subordinates, but there was no difference, but they always Can't figure it out, can't help frowning, thinking hard.
With the beating of several war drums, the cavalry on the field retreated, and each cavalry quickly gathered together, and under the leadership of the infantry, they formed a neat square formation, holding their sabers high at the same time, a piece of The sharp blade flashed in front of everyone. Gao Yuan smiled and waved to them, and the cavalry drove away from the viewing stand one by one.
Bai Yucheng suddenly understood, discipline, these cavalrymen are not good enough in equestrian skills, and their individual combat ability is not as good as compared with the horse bandits under his command, but they are a whole, while his subordinates are individuals with strong individual combat capabilities, One-on-one, these cavalry are not opponents at all, but ten against ten, they may already be tied with their subordinates, if it is one hundred against one hundred or even more, I am afraid that I will lose. Thinking of all this, Bai Yucheng Cold sweat broke out on his face, and now he finally figured out why he lost in the battle blocked by Thorpe's Royal Court cavalry. From then on, he had no choice but to flee all the way in embarrassment.
After that, Bai Yucheng didn't have the heart to appreciate the subsequent steps to break the horse, step and ride together, etc., and he thought of two words over and over in his mind, military discipline. This is probably because he has been in Donghu for so many years, and he is still called a horse. Bandits, and Gao Yuan's cavalry are called the difference between armies, right?
