The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 34 Discipline
Although Liu Pi was one of the chief generals of the Yellow Angels, he did not know how to train troops. As for Gong Du, he was mostly a striker in the army.

Therefore, Xu An could only take over the important task of training troops by himself.

It is true that no one in the Yellow Turban Army understands the method of military training. To put it bluntly, the Yellow Turban Warriors are soldiers with stronger equipment and better equipment, while the Yellow Angels select those believers who are not afraid of death and put on heavy armor.

Therefore, the Yellow Turbans almost never defeated the Han army when their numbers were equal, and they were often defeated by the Han army with less.

There is no method of battle formation, no method of training, and the battle is entirely dependent on blood and courage, and there is not even a systematic trumpet or semaphore.

Compared with the complicated semaphore of the Han army, the flag of the Yellow Turban General School almost only played the role of a gathering sergeant.

Compared with the well-trained Han army, the Yellow Turbans are like young birds, not to mention soaring in the sky, even walking a little staggering.

If this situation is not changed, no amount of Yellow Turbans will be a mob.

The war between the two armies is not because the larger the number, the better the advantage. On the contrary, if the number of the two armies is too large and there is no effective command, the marching operation will be extremely bloated. In the hands of more than [-] Eastern Jin Beifu soldiers.

Training, armor rate, morale, logistics, and command are the keys to determining the outcome of the war.

In the famous Battle of Yin and Jin between Qin and Wei, the Wei State was a well-trained military soldier of the Wei State, while the Qin State was a rabble assembled temporarily, although they had the courage to defend their family and the country.

However, under the leadership of the famous general Wu Qi, the [-] Wei army, all wearing heavy armor and well-trained, finally defeated the Qin army in an upright battle. The [-] Qin army was defeated and fled, and the first battle became famous all over the world.

Liu Pi and Gong are not peerless generals, they can't achieve the same seven-in and seven-out as Zhao Zilong, and they don't have the bravery of Zhang Liao, who is mega-zhen Xiaoyaojin.

On the battle formation, one's bravery is almost infinitely reduced. In the face of the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, even if the mighty man is as powerful as Lu Fengxian, he can only avoid it. In the face of the heavy armored soldiers who come like a wall, even if he is as brave as a horse. Meng Qi also needs to stop the horse.

After the young men of the three families had eaten, they were arranged by Xu to form a phalanx and gathered again on the square.

They just stood crookedly, and there were whispered voices from time to time in the queue.

There were a total of [-] young men from the three families, which was somewhat different from what the Han army recorded. Perhaps the Han army did not record the women and children in Lutai Mountain.

The Yellow Angels have fled all the way to this day. There were originally nearly [-] people in the team. More than a dozen people died on the road, and dozens of people fell down the well. There are only [-] people who are still alive.

There are quite a few hunters who can hunt bows from the three hunters. In addition, among the Yellow Angels, there are sergeants who can master bows and arrows, so Liu Pi has found more than [-] bowmen who can draw bows.

Although Liu Pi didn't know how to train, Xu An knew nothing about bows and arrows. Liu Pi was a skilled archer anyway, and the Han bows that he carried all the way from Jingjing to Lutai Mountain couldn't have been left to rot in the warehouse in vain.

In such a complex environment in the mountains, there is a team of archers, whether it is attacking or defending the village, it will have a great advantage.

There were still [-] young men from the remaining three families. Xu An slightly changed the military system, no longer set up a corps leader, and divided the [-] people into [-] teams, each of which selected ten members. , and selected thirty-five people from among the yellow angels as chiefs.

For every five shi, there is a team rate, which is also selected from the yellow angels, and the thirty-five shi people are divided into seven teams.

The number of Huang Angels is too small. If there is a corporal, the number of Huang Angels cannot even be maintained by [-] people. In order to ensure that there is a sharp blade in his hand at all times, Xu An can only abandon the military post of corporal.

After all, there are still too few people.

Xu An's experience is still too little. The yellow angels who were chosen to be very long identify their sergeants one by one. They are divided into thirty-five columns of young men, standing staggered.

There was a lot of fuss for a moment, and then they were divided into seven teams and stood on the square.

These yellow angels are ordinary sergeants, maybe they are qualified sergeants, but they are definitely not qualified officers...

But at the time of hiring people, there was no way out. The seven team leaders selected several senior leaders from the Yellow Angels, and only one of them was the team leader in the Yellow Angels army.

Xu An frowned as he looked at the queue in front of him. Although the seventh team stood still, the queue was obviously crooked and had various standing postures. From time to time there were buzzing discussions in the queue.

This group of people pulled into the battlefield, I am afraid that the army will be defeated if they charge, I am afraid that they will only hate their parents for giving birth to two less legs.

He has never eaten pork, and he has seen Pig Run anyway. Xu An is also a college student. Born in the era of information explosion, he has watched a lot of military training and some military war movies.

One of the films that impressed him the most was a picture of the British army's bayonet assault smashing the enemy.

British soldiers in bright red uniforms and high hats, shoulder to shoulder, stick closely together, hold up the rifles in their hands, and move forward slowly. The ravines of flesh and blood.

The muskets in front of them spit out frightening tongues of flame, taking the lives of one soldier in the front row, but no one retreated, their faces may have fear, but they are still slowly moving towards the sound of the drums. forward.

Paoze in front of him fell down, and someone behind him naturally filled his place. The officer in front of the army fell down, and the soldier behind him still held the rifle in his hand and moved forward until he stepped on the corpse of the fallen officer. Pao Ze's corpse.

Then they stopped only [-] meters away from the front of the opponent's formation, and all the British troops fired salvos together under the command of the command, defeating the powerful French army.

Such is the power of discipline, even more than the fear of death.

That's the most important part of the military, discipline.

In order for the army to exert its greatest fighting power, it must be like an arm and a finger. The brave must not advance alone, and the cowardly must not retreat alone. This is the law of the crowd.

In the war, it is different from the slaughter in the market. In the military formation, all the infantrymen are shoulder to shoulder, with their own robes beside them. Come out to recover the soldiers who cut the enemy's formation, preventing the advance of the enemy's formation.

When the swords and shields and other vanguards broke through the battle, the rest of the crowd rushed to the top to chase after victory. This was the battle on the battlefield, and this was the dignified battle.

That kind of dog-toothed, messy, and chaotic fighting, how could there be a real battle formation?
Precisely because the army needs discipline, without discipline, the best-equipped army is nothing but a mob.

So what Xu An has to do now is to turn these [-] lambs into a pack of wolves, and make them fear the law of the army more than the sword of the enemy.
