Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 44

Ying Xiao?

mutiny?

Qingji didn't take it seriously.

Gein knows a lot about human nature!
Human beings are extremely adaptable, how can a strong army of iron and blood be tempered?
In addition to fighting on the battlefield, daily rigorous training is essential.

Now, the soldiers of the state of Wu hated and hated this kind of cruel martial arts performance, but when it came to the real battlefield, they all survived because of it and escaped a catastrophe.

So, how could they still hate this boring and cruel martial arts performance?

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with Qingji's practice of "the strong prey on the weak" in the army.

During the grand martial arts performance, the winning side can have extra meals at night, while the losing side can only go to bed hungry.

In this way, it may arouse the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers, but their desire to win is also increasing.

Moreover, such a big martial arts performance will not be held every day, but will be held at regular intervals according to the formation of the army, so there is no need to worry that the soldiers are often hungry and unable to practice!
This is just a means of celebrating Ji to motivate soldiers, nothing more.

"Second and third sons, I know that what you said is true."

Qing Ji said calmly: "Training soldiers, especially training a soldier that can fight, a strong army in the world is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"The widow really shouldn't be in a hurry. However, the widow has always believed in only one truth, and that is—sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime!"

"If you can't even endure this bit of suffering, how can you expect these soldiers to be worthy of a battle on the real battlefield?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, all the generals immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do!
Qingji glanced at Sun Ping beside him again.

As the great Sima, Sun Ping is indeed competent in governing the military affairs of a country.

Like many generals in this era, he loves soldiers like his son, can share joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers, eats the same meals, and sleeps on the same bed!

However, Sun Ping didn't understand a truth - kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth.

Of course, Qingji does not think that Sun Ping's practice of loving soldiers like sons is wrong, but sometimes he "dotes" soldiers too much, which may cause extremely serious consequences during the war.

"Great Sima, is the teacher that the widow asked you to prepare, is it ready?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already made preparations. According to Your Majesty's instructions, I have mobilized five thousand warriors to practice day and night. On the day of the Majesty's coronation ceremony, I will arrive as promised and stand by the Xianghu Lake!"

"good!"

Qingji nodded slightly.

Qingji still has a lot of trust in Sun Ping's ability to handle affairs!
"Changqing, how is your training in the camp?"

Qingji immediately became concerned about the trap camp that Sun Wu had just formed.

"Your Majesty, now that you are trapped in the camp, it is already worthy of a battle."

Worth a fight?
Qingji raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Sun Wu's character was very modest, and he said that he was worthy of a battle, but he might have become a rare force in the world!

Qingji immediately entered the camp where the trapped camp was surrounded by a group of generals.

When they came, they saw the sharp warriors trapped in the camp still wearing heavy armor, fully armed and fighting on the school field.

Everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but there was a kind of determination in their eyes!

From the aura emanating from his body, Qingji could tell that this was a rare elite soldier.

That's natural!

After all, every sharp soldier who fell into the camp was basically carefully selected by Sun Wu from tens of thousands of Wu army soldiers, and they had all been tempered by war.

They are physically strong and have a tough personality. No matter which country's army they are placed in, they are also sharp fighters that are hard to come by.

"Drumming!"

Sun Wu immediately stood on the high platform and waved his hand.

Not long after, the sharp fighters who were still engaged in hand-to-hand combat quickly assembled, and stood neatly and orderly under the high platform, valiantly and vigorously!
The phalanx formed by a total of [-] sharp fighters, everyone is full of fighting spirit, looking forward, without any irrelevant noise.

It is really forbidden!
Seeing this, Qingji couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

Standing in Qingji's position, looking from far to near, I saw these sharp fighters who were trapped in the camp, each wearing bronze heavy armor, and wearing strong and sharp.

Each of them holds a long halberd in his hand, a bronze sword on his waist, a rhinoceros-faced oar, a hard bow with iron tires, and fifty crossbow bolts on his back.

Coupled with the three layers of armor they were wearing, Qingji reckoned that their loads were several tens of catties!
"General Sun, is your camp really worthy of a fight?"

Meng Ben, who was on the side, was quite disbelieving, and said: "These soldiers carry very heavy armor. It looks okay, but I'm afraid they won't be able to go to the battlefield!"

"How can you not go to the battlefield?"

"Hahahaha, General Sun, don't say that Meng Ben doesn't know your ability to train troops, but these men who are armored like tortoise shells can still defend the city, and they can only wait to be killed when they go out to fight in the field!"

Obviously, Meng Ben and other generals are doubting Sun Wu's ability to govern the army and the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp.

Even Sun Ping, Sun Wu's father, couldn't help frowning in disbelief!

However, facing the puzzled and ridiculed eyes of the generals, Sun Wu just laughed it off.

"If General Meng doesn't believe it, you and I might as well try it out."

"How to compare?"

"The eight hundred elite soldiers I have trapped in the camp can defeat the general and your army!"

An army of soldiers is [-] people!
With eight hundred against five thousand, no matter how you look at it, you are hitting a stone with an egg.

Meng Ben didn't believe it, Sun Ping didn't believe it, and all the generals present didn't believe what Sun Wu said!
Meng Ben said directly: "General Sun, you are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you say such big words? Are you sure to win the battle with an enemy force six or seven times stronger?"

Sun Wu smiled and said nothing.

Just in time, Qingji wanted to see how much combat power Sun Wu had formed and practiced with his own hands!
So Sun Wu and Meng Ben were allowed to lead their troops to perform martial arts.

However, Meng Ben was quite upset with Sun Wu who was "full of big talk", so he was only willing to lead two thousand infantry to fight against Sun Wu's trapped camp!
After all, the soldiers trapped in the camp were originally the strongest soldiers from the various ministries of the Wu Kingdom. In terms of individual combat capabilities, they are beyond the reach of anyone.

To be on the safe side, Meng Ben thinks he can't be too careless!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the sound of dull and slightly depressing war drums, in the empty school field, the [-] soldiers led by Meng Ben confronted the [-] sharp soldiers led by Sun Wu.

Banners cover the sky, spears and spears are like forests!
Meng Ben took the lead and led his troops to attack the trapped camp.

With the waving of the command flag, Meng Ben pointed his long sword, and the shield bearers at the forefront of the phalanx held up their rectangular shields, step by step to cover the troops and move forward slowly!

The side that was trapped in the camp also marched forward at a uniform pace under Sun Wu's order.

"Fire arrows!"

Before entering the range of the bow and arrow, Sun Wu waved his hand and ordered all the soldiers in the trapped camp to take up the hard iron bows, draw the bows and set up arrows, and throw round after round of arrows towards the enemy phalanx on the opposite side. .

"and many more!"

Meng Ben couldn't help but widen his eyes and let out a scream.

I saw that the powerful arrows shot by the sharp fighters in the camp pierced the sky, and unexpectedly accurately avoided the shield formation and fell into the enemy's phalanx!

Unprepared, Meng Ben's soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and the pain was excruciating.

This kind of arrow has no arrows for the time being, but hitting the head can still make people feel a lot of pain.

After just a few rounds of arrow rain, many soldiers on Meng Ben's side have been "killed".
