When Liu Chan saw Huang Zhong moving, he was out of breath. He originally wanted him to take the car, but he gave up because of his character.
The two rode horses slowly and arrived at the military camp on the outskirts of Chengdu.
Huang Zhong had heard about the elite Red Star Army for a long time, but this was the first time he came to see it in person.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
As soon as he entered the military camp, the old general was deeply shocked.
"Change the formation! Royal!" Red Star Left Colonel Li Er was directing the regular army to practice battle formations.
When the command flag was raised, the newly promoted regular army members were still a little rusty, resulting in the changes in the entire formation not being as smooth as before, but Huang Zhong was still amazed.
If an ordinary phalanx can be assembled at this speed, it is considered excellent in the army.
What's more, although this formation was born out of an ordinary military formation, it has added complex combination changes. Once the order is given, every soldier needs to know where he should stand and what he should do.
"March!"
Boo! Boo! Boo!
As soon as the drum beat, the soldiers immediately marched as ordered.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Most of these people are veterans who have been tempered by blood and fire, and they are naturally full of murderous intent when they move.
There is also a team lined up in a long snake formation outside the military camp. They are wearing full leather armor, holding spears, round shields and bows, with swords and arrow pots around their waists. They are fully armed and heading toward Huang Zhong. Come running...
Following the leader's command, a chorus of shouts began:
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you!"
How can I say that I have no clothes? Tongze with Zi. …”
The long line of recruits who came running with streams of white air spurting out from their mouths were undergoing basic physical training.
Later generations of our army still need to learn from some excellent practices in improving cohesion and morale.
It's just that Liu Chan replaced "Unity is Strength" with content that is more in line with the times.
As for this poem coming from the Qin army... The Qin Dynasty has been dead for more than 400 years, so no one will make trouble for it long ago.
If it were called "Viewing the Sea", then there would be a real problem...
Huang Zhong didn't speak for a long time because of the unprecedented high morale and enthusiasm for training in the military camp.
A soldier ran over and said something to Li Er. He looked this way and immediately shouted: "Stop! The whole army must assemble!"
As soon as the command flag signal came out, the regular army soldiers immediately changed into various square formations and the whole team was on standby.
The new recruits were much slower, and the assembly process was a bit messy.
"Have a moment." After the army was assembled, Li Er ran to Liu Chan and saluted with his fists in his hands, "Report to the prince, the whole army has been assembled. Please give me your instructions!"
Liu Chan nodded, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "This is General Huang Hansheng, Old General Huang! Old General Huang is willing to help you, why don't you thank me?"
Wow——!
The whole army clasped their fists and bowed their heads, saying in unison: "Thank you, Old General Huang!"
This roar made Huang Zhong wake up from his dream: "Okay, okay."
He was weak at this time and his voice was low, but he could not hide his excitement and affection, and he returned the greeting with fists in his hands.
[Huang Zhong favorability +5] (43)
[Huang Zhong’s favorability is 40, constitution +10, archery talent +15×2, long soldier talent +8×2, equestrian talent +8×2]
[Physique increased to: Extraordinary physical fitness (0/300)]
There is no general who doesn't like elite soldiers. At this time, Huang Zhong had already forgotten about whether to lie or not. Although his body was still the same, his spirit was indeed better.
At the same time, I saw with my own eyes the elite soldiers Liu Chan created, and I admired the prince even more.
"Go and pick out some good archers and ask General Huang to take a look at them."
"Yes!" Li Er went to pick out ten people.
After these people opened their bows and shot arrows, Huang Zhong frowned.
Liu Chan said that his shooting skills were not good, but Huang Zhong didn't seem to be good at it, at best he was not good at it.
It's good that ordinary soldiers can achieve this level, but it is indeed not at the same level as the previous military formation performance.
Compared with other levels, this shooting skill is really lagging behind.
"There are two commonly used shooting methods, flat shooting and projectile shooting. If you want to shoot accurately, you must first have the right posture.
"This is the same as if your military formation wants to exert its power, you must first stand in the right position..."
Huang Zhong then ordered these people to shoot the bow again and corrected them one by one. The shooting was indeed better.
Unexpectedly, there would be obvious changes so easily, and the soldiers were overjoyed.
"Old General Huang is indeed very accomplished in archery. With a little guidance, their level will immediately change."
Huang Zhong smiled and said: "They are still far from it. I will teach them other things in the future. I will build an army for the prince that is good at shooting."
Liu Chan added: "This is a rare opportunity. Can the old general give me some pointers on Xia Gu's shooting skills?"
"Why not?"
Huang Zhong was a little short of breath again, but he still seemed to be in high spirits.
"Get the bow."
A soldier took Liu Chan's bow and came over.
Huang Zhong praised: "It is indeed a good bow."
This horned bow is not as ornately decorated as those used by ordinary young masters of noble families. The grip of the bow is even worn a bit and looks inconspicuous.
But Huang Zhong naturally saw at a glance that the horn bow was made of excellent materials and must have been made by the Xianbei people in the north.
Liu Chan grinned: "I got this from Pan Zhang of Jiangdong."
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's just right, so as not to bury the good bow."
Liu Chan skillfully drew, aimed, and released his bow.
Duo!
The arrow hit the center of the hay target.
"Okay!" The soldiers all cheered.
Liu Chan asked humbly: "Old General Huang, is there anything wrong with sending this arrow alone?"
Huang Zhong smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing inappropriate."
Liu Chan was slightly disappointed when he heard this. It seemed that he could only slowly improve by accumulating proficiency.
"But the prince has long arms, strong strength, and excellent qualifications, but it should not stop there. Please let the prince draw the bow again."
Can we finish it all at once?
Liu Chan followed the instructions and fired his bow again.
Huang Zhong stepped forward and pinched Liu Chan's shoulder: "The prince's shoulders and arms are too strong, please relax more..."
Then he re-adjusted Liu Chan's shooting method according to Liu Chan's body shape and talked about some advanced content.
Liu Chan's archery talent is excellent after all. He can understand it naturally and master it in one try. Huang Zhong doesn't need to explain it a second time.
Liu Chan took off his posture, recalled what Huang Zhong taught in his mind, and then opened the bow again, nocking the arrow, and released!
The movements are done in one go, natural and unrestrained, which is a level better than just in terms of appearance.
Duo!
The arrow's landing point was slightly off the mark, but the time from picking up the arrow to releasing it was more than twice as fast as before.
What's more important is that Liu Chan didn't feel anything at all after firing the arrow! Although he used less force than before, the power of the arrow was obviously greater.
[Huang Zhong favorability +5] (48)
Huang Zhong put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "The prince's talent is high and his qualifications are good. I will definitely surpass him in due course."
"If Chan could have been taught by the old general earlier, he would have captured Lu Meng alive this time!" Liu Chan looked regretful.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Huang Zhong then guided the soldiers and explained some practical skills in using bows and arrows.
Seeing that Huang Zhong's asthma seemed to be getting worse, Liu Chan said: "Old General is not feeling well. Don't work too hard. Let's call it a day."
"Okay." Huang Zhong felt that he was trusted and entrusted by the prince Liu Chan, and he did not try to show off.
I just thought that if I could help the prince build a strong army in the end, and be mentioned to the younger generation again a hundred years later, I would be considered to have contributed to the two lords one after another...
Liu Chan got along well with Huang Zhong. He not only found a job for the old general to relieve his negative emotions, but also raised the combat level of the Red Star Army to another level.
However, things did not go so smoothly for his sworn brother Liu Feng.
A lot of time has passed since Liu Feng returned to Shangyong, and it seems that the "Yuan Day" is coming soon.
During the reception banquet, the Shen brothers fully agreed to make up for this year's plan. As a result, after so many days, there was no movement from them, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Feng did not expect that such a big thing as the plan for the three counties could be completed in less than a month.
But the counties should have already taken action, right?
As a result, the people sent by Liu Feng came back and told him that life in the counties was as usual. Both the people and the officials in the counties were enjoying the leisurely winter without any action.
This is not the most annoying thing.
"When my subordinates first went to inquire, all the county officials said they had not received the order."
Liu Feng's anger level instantly soared.
It's been so many days and you haven't even been notified yet?
"Then have you ever told them that this is something the Shen family promised to this general?"
"My subordinate said it."
"What did they say?"
"They said...said..."
Liu Feng glared: "Hurry up and say it!"
"They said... they didn't dare to move without General Shen's order."
Snapped!
Liu Feng slammed the table and said angrily: "What a common man from the Shen family, how dare you tease me!"
