Sun Wuzhong gave a few instructions to a deputy general next to him. The man nodded, picked up two command flags, and said in a deep voice: "The fourth team listened to the order and separated to prepare for the drill. Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan each led Half the team, arranging thrusts, time, two quarters of an hour, the last one standing wins!" At this point, he lowered his head and whispered to the messenger next to him, "Let Tan Pingzhi come over too."
Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan looked at each other. This platoon thrust requires everyone to use real rifles, remove the weapons, wrap them in cloth, and dip them in white ash. Then the two teams line up, just like on the battlefield, forming an array. Stabbing, according to the exercise rules in the Israeli army, if there are three white marks on the body, that is to say, if the opponent is stabbed more than three times, he will be judged to have lost combat effectiveness and need to withdraw from the drill.
In the past, everyone's fighting and stabbing competitions were just one-on-one competitions, and there was never any practice of fighting in formation. Today, Sun Wuzhong gave such an order in front of Huan Xuan and others. It was obviously to ask everyone Use all your skills to conduct drills according to actual combat requirements.
Liu Tingyun giggled and kept clapping her hands: "Okay, okay, it's so fun. It's really like fighting. Miaoyin, tell me, who can win this time?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "It's hard to say. There are elite people on both sides. It seems that the outcome is unpredictable. Maybe it depends on luck." At this point, she frowned slightly and turned to Huan Xuan: " Mr. Huan, Commander Liu and others are all new recruits. Maybe they are not yet familiar with the battle formation. If they really want to practice, I'm afraid it won't be good. Wouldn't it be better to let veterans who have been training for a long time do the drill? ?”
Huan Xuan shook his head: "Miss Wang, all the Beifu Army are newly recruited warriors from all over the country, and there are not many veterans. Besides, time waits for no one. If the Qin captives invade south tomorrow, can we say that the army has not been trained yet?" Okay, do you want to wait and fight again? King Kuaiji asked me to come and work for the army, isn’t it just to see the true combat readiness level of the Beifu Army?"
Wang Miaoyin pursed her lips slightly, as if she still had something to say. Liu Jingxuan, who was standing on the side, suddenly said loudly and energetically: "Young Master Huan is right. If there is a war tomorrow, then we will go to the battlefield tomorrow. Please, Mr. Huan, you two." Don’t worry, miss, we are always ready to fight for our country!”
Huan Xuan laughed and looked at Liu Jingxuan: "He is indeed a strong man, worthy of being a general. Jingxuan, you..."
Sun Wuzhong suddenly coughed twice. Huan Xuan suddenly came to his senses and shook his head with a smile: "This is in the military. We will talk about personal friendship later. Liu Jingxuan, I am looking forward to your performance!"
Liu Yu felt confused in his heart, and Tan Pingzhi, who sneaked over from the doctor's camp, whispered: "Where did Liu Jingxuan come from? How come Master Huan knows him? He doesn't look like an ordinary person. No wonder he is so arrogant. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly and replied in a low voice: "Didn't he just say that he was a son of an official family when he came, but he just relied on his ability to win the leadership of the team. It's rare to find someone like him. I think Ah Shou will be here He disclosed his true identity when he saw fit."
Sun Wuzhong seemed to have heard the people behind him talking about Liu Jingxuan's identity. His face darkened and he said loudly: "Didn't you hear my general's military order? Divide into two teams and conduct a platoon drill, now!"
Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan nodded to each other and walked aside. These days, Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan have vaguely formed two leading brothers. The whole team of recruits is also divided into two groups, each under the leadership of the two. I have been practicing, competing and competing every day for a long time.
Seeing the two men turning to one side, everyone followed their usual division and stood behind Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan, while the sergeants and idlers from other teams dispersed. Soon, under this big flag, On the school grounds, only forty-eight sergeants of the fourth team were left.
Twenty-three people stood behind Liu Yu. Wei Yongzhi, Wei Shunzhi, Tan Pingzhi, Yu Qiujin and others were all on his side. Behind Liu Jingxuan, Sun Chu, Xiang Jing, Xie Tingfeng and others also stood. a row. The auxiliary soldiers of the baggage camp hurried in and out, handing out a one-foot-four-foot-long (4.2 meters) long rifle with its head wrapped and stained with white ash powder into everyone's hands. Those who got the spear stood up one by one, putting on their leather armor while taking out small iron blocks from their arms and tying them to the tail of the spear.
Liu Tingyun opened her eyes wide. At this moment, they and Huan Xuan were sitting in a pergola on a high ground that had been prepared. From this position, the actions below could be seen clearly. She was eating a piece of watermelon. , and asked Huan Xuanqi at the side: "Why is this step so long? Also, why do they hang a small copper block at the end of the step?"
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "The infantry is made of good elm or trees. Its first function is to withstand the assault of the opponent's infantry and cavalry on the battlefield, especially the cavalry. Miss Liu, you must know that there are many cavalry in Beilu. , it charges quickly and with great force, and can often knock people flying for more than ten steps at once. A whole team of soldiers in a dense formation may be knocked down by five, six, or even more than a dozen columns at once. This is the reason why our Jin infantry has difficulty fighting the Northern cavalry."
Wang Miaoyin's eyes flashed with light: "Yes, where the rivers crisscross the south, it is difficult for the northern cavalry to perform, but once they reach the northern plains, the cavalry is invincible. Our several Northern Expeditions during the Jin Dynasty were all because of fighting on the plains. It failed because of the cavalry. This four-foot-long step was probably specially made to deal with the cavalry."
Huan Xuan's eyes sparkled, and his tone became heavier: "When it comes to this matter, my Huan family actually has the most say. My late father made three Northern Expeditions. Except for the first time, he wiped out the Cheng Han Dynasty that was separatist in Bashu, and the following two Once in Guanzhong and once on the edge of the Yellow River, Fangtou was unable to defeat the opponent's elite cavalry and was unable to prevent their assault. However, he failed to succeed. After the old man came back, he improved his weapons and made these super-long rifles. , just so that one day, I can take revenge and conquer the cavalry with my feet! General Sun, am I right?"
Sun Wudi nodded: "Yes, these long beams were ordered by Duke Xuanwu and Uncle Ling when they left Zhenjingkou. Over the past ten years, we have become proficient in this method and array drills."
Liu Tingyun suddenly understood and nodded: "Oh, so that's it. I understand that such a long stem is used to withstand the impact of the cavalry, but what does it mean to add a copper block to the tail of the stem?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Sister, have you ever seen farmers in the countryside carrying poles? These wooden and bamboo poles also have weight. If you want to keep both sides stable, you can only hold them in the middle. But the sergeants only hold one end, and the front end is It will droop due to the weight and cannot be stabbed. Only by adding a small copper block to the tail of the branch can the weight on both sides be balanced. In this way, the tip of the branch in front can be straight. You see, just like Liu Yu It’s like this now.”
She stood at the front of the queue on the east side with a spring-like finger. She raised her arms horizontally in front of Liu Yu, who was as motionless as a mountain. The autumn wind blew his rock-like resolute face, which further showed the pride of a man, matching his full momentum. shouted: "Left team of the fourth squadron of the Feibao Battalion of the Beifu Army, woohoo!" chapter;
