"General, we've been practicing all morning, why don't we take a break first?" Tian Dali panted and asked looking at the calm-looking Li Xian.
Li Xian saw that all the soldiers were sweating profusely and estimated that they had been practicing for almost two hours, so he nodded.
Since I purchased 8,000 rattan armors from Wutu Bone that day, I have calculated that, excluding the more than 1,000 that were converted into horse armors and some of them lost in battles, I should be able to use or fully equip them now. There are more than 6,000 pieces, and I sighed in my heart. If the Shu Han itself had not had limited national power, it would not have had to borrow 3,000 pieces of Mingguang Armor. At this time, these armors were also transferred from the Zhao Yun Department to the Wei Yan Department. It seems that There are really plans to use Wei Yan as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition.
In fact, at this time, everyone had no time to worry about who would be the vanguard general. A month after Zhengman came back to recuperate, all the ministries began to train intensively under Zhuge Liang's arrangement. When Li Xian faced the issue of the Northern Expedition, he did It seems a bit overwhelming. After all, the national power is there. Even if you can find a better way to make steel, you can't stand it. The output of Shuhan's own iron ore is indeed low, and even the number of horses is limited. Now that he has become a so-called heavy-duty general , we need to look at the problem from a higher perspective, and not just limit ourselves to the three thousand soldiers who fought together.
During the lunch break, Li Xian slowly counted all his current soldiers. The said General Zhengdong led 8,000 people. Apart from his original divine arm archers and auxiliary soldiers of vine armor heavy cavalry, there were still 7,000 completely. Able to go into battle, among them, there were originally one thousand cavalry and two thousand archers in armor. Now the original four thousand infantry are left. When he first received these reserve soldiers, he actually took a closer look at them. The armor coverage rate is even less than 30%, and there are no shields. That is to say, basically only more than a thousand people can have the most primitive pig iron armor, which can barely play a protective role. Therefore, Li Xian has his own vine armor that is brave enough. It was placed on these unarmored warriors, but when I watched these soldiers training, my legs felt weak when I thought about encountering someone who used fire attacks against me.
Either throw these soldiers out and have a certain degree of huge lethality, or don't throw them out at all. Even if you exchange them for one, you can still make a profit. Just let these vine-armored infantry start to be equipped with spears and halberds, which are basically low-level. It’s the zero-defense strategy in end-game games.
Every time he trains, he looks at the generals around him with envy. In fact, Li Xian feels guilty, but in the eyes of others, these soldiers are elite troops. It doesn't matter what armor you have, but you are wearing all armor, that's it. The best of the best.
Looking at these soldiers, one of the generals was even more jealous, "Although I say I am illiterate, I can recognize the things these soldiers are wearing." The general did not say hello and walked straight into the lunch break. In Li Xian's military tent.
"Why are General Wang here?" Li Xian quickly stood up, poured a cup of tea, and asked the general to sit down and talk.
Of course Li Xian recognized this person. Although he had never met him face to face, he had heard the name of the bandit general Wang Ping a lot. Hearing that he himself said he was illiterate, he was even more convinced.
Wang Ping shook his head: "General, I have seen a lot of armor like yours in Nanzhong when I was young, but I have never seen one that covers the whole body so completely, and even has a mask."
Li Xian also knew at the moment that Wang Ping was also jealous, but he was the only one who knew all kinds of sufferings. Once these things burned, he would see if you were still jealous, so he immediately comforted him and said: "General Wang, to be honest, these armored men are not guilty. With this in mind, when we enter Chang'an, we will have as many good armors as we don't need. What's more, General Wang has always shared weal and woe with the soldiers, so the Prime Minister will definitely entrust the general with important responsibilities."
Wang Ping couldn't hear these words of comfort. After all, during the Southern Expedition, if anyone knew the terrain of Nanzhong the best, it was certainly him. As a result, not only did he not achieve great military exploits, but Li Xian's appearance was too dazzling. Just let him disappear into the crowd.
Wang Ping just shook his head with a wry smile. Suddenly he heard someone coming to report that the Prime Minister wanted to see him alone. In the next moment, he saw Li Xian smiling. He was also suspicious and walked away quickly.
Li Xian made his own calculations and found that the time for the expedition against Menghuo had been advanced by nearly half a month, and it was only six captures and six verticals. According to the original time, it should have been half a month later. At this moment, there was no legendary army. Dang Feijun should appear soon! Zhuge Liang summoned Wang Ping in such a hurry, obviously it must be because of this matter, because only Wang Ping can communicate with them, then he is the first commander of Wudang Feijun and the ace in mountain warfare!
The sudden visit of Wang Ping reminded Li Xian instantly that no matter what happens now, what he has to do is to ensure that the First Northern Expedition must not fail. In the game without Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang must not lose! Once it failed, there was no possibility for Shu Han to come back. His mind was frantically searching for the reasons for the failure of the First Northern Expedition, and clear lines of small words appeared in his mind: "He violated the moral integrity and acted inappropriately. "
"Yes! Street Pavilion!" Li Xian quickly picked up the map as if he was electrocuted and searched frantically. Street Pavilion, also known as Long Yuan, was later renamed Longquan to avoid Li Yuan's taboo, so at this moment there was a Warring States Pavilion in the street pavilion. The old city wall left over from that period was built on the mountain. According to another time and space theory, Ma Di stationed his troops on the mountain and cut off the water source, leading to a great defeat. When he came to his senses, he realized that what he had to do at this moment was to train a force that could assist Wudang Feijun in guarding the street pavilion. As long as it could hold on until Zhuge Liang returned reinforcements from Yongliang, it would be a great victory.
In the afternoon, the setting sun of autumn in Chengdu shone on me, but I couldn't resist the chill of winter that was about to come.
"Dali, you have been leading our cavalry for more than a year, and you are considered a veteran general. Gong Jie is a good archer. Now most of our troops are infantry. Have you ever seen any good seedlings in the army? ?" Li Xian asked.
Tian Dali quickly replied: "Many of these soldiers are new recruits who have just been recruited this year. These soldiers are indeed much slower to learn than others. Speaking of being able to command, I really haven't found any, unlike me." Both General Gong and General Gong were brought here by the General."
Li Xian was also silent. In this situation, the talents in Shu were withered, and it was really difficult to find a general.
"The organization of our Destroying Front Army is getting bigger and bigger. These 8,000 people, no matter what, I want to turn them into the best of the best, whether they are infantry or archers, do you understand?" Li Xian said.
Tian Dali nodded, understood immediately, and started training intensively. Only the training of the spear and vine armor soldiers was personally handled by Li Xian.
"Form up!" Li Xian ordered.
Some of these new recruits were unable to do their best and began to sway, and some even started to walk before they swayed to where they should stand. In fact, the spearmen's formation was much more convenient than the cavalry's formation. These recruits insisted on It took me a long time to finally stand still. What's more, I stood in the wrong position and only changed it at the last moment.
"Let's do it again! The last one to arrive is the one who gets the tenth army stick!" Li Xian looked at these new recruits. They were also very big-headed and so swaying that they were not even as good as the current military training of college students. It seemed that if there was no good method, it would be really difficult. Get these soldiers in place quickly.
"There is no need to worry about the rise of the Han Dynasty. There is a way to the truth, but the general does not need to worry."
Li Xian hurriedly followed the sound and saw that it was Zhuge Liang who had arrived quietly. He quickly bowed down and said, "I don't know that the Prime Minister is coming here, so I am not expecting him from afar."
Zhuge Liang quickly waved his hand and signaled Li Xian to get up quickly, and said slowly: "General, don't worry. In fact, this method was learned from watching Wei Yan's military formation drill the day before. You can fix all the veterans who originally followed the general." One of them, when these new recruits form a formation, they will naturally be much better."
Li Xian immediately realized that he was looking for a reference object. If the reference object moved, the military formation would also change. These veterans would naturally be more familiar with the general's movements and commands than the new recruits. Naturally, it would be much easier to form a formation. Look at Zhuge Liang who suddenly came to the school grounds. He really does everything, even such small things, in his heart.
Li Xian immediately placed all the veterans in the second column and formed the formation again. As expected, the time was more than doubled. He immediately started training in the school field on formation changes and thrust commands in infantry battles.
It has been more than a year of training like this, going back and forth day and night. These soldiers have become more and more familiar with Li Xian's command. Due to the rise of football in Yunnan, the tax revenue of Chengdu's treasury has increased a lot for a while, and slowly Filled up.
...
"General Li Xian of the Eastern Campaign, listen to the order! Tomorrow there will be a meeting at the Prime Minister's Mansion! No leave is allowed, all officers on leave will be recalled!"
"Got the order!"
