Chapter 223 Observing the Troops

Is there a fatherly style?

It seems like no one has ever praised me so much~
Xu Yi, who was walking sideways on the lead path, felt a little strange and also a little happy.

In any case, he was praised by his boss when he first met him, which meant that he would not be made things difficult when he worked together in the future.

However, his joy was a little premature.

Just after Xia Houhui and his entourage entered the camp, he directly ordered, "General Xu, close the camp gate. Pass on the order. From now on, anyone who opens the camp gate without permission from me will be killed!"

"only!"

This also made Xu Yi's heart tremble, and she quickly agreed loudly.

He suddenly understood what it meant when Xiahou Hui praised him for his paternal style.

His father, Xu Chu, was cautious and taciturn, and he was strict with the law. His past avoidance of suspicion towards Cao Ren was still talked about today; but now Xia Houhui praised him for his paternal style, which meant that he was also strict with the law and only obeyed orders. What do you mean~
However, you must know that the emperor has come three times in the first month alone!
If the emperor comes back, do I have to ask for permission before opening the camp gate?
Could it be that General Xiahou wanted to imitate Zhou Yafu of the former Han Dynasty and treat the Zhenyue Department as the Xiliu Camp?
Xu Yi, who was sent to deliver the order, followed step by step. Looking at Xia Houhui's back, she wondered whether she should ask about this matter.

"General."

Leliang, who had rushed over after learning the news before reaching the main tent of the camp, saluted Xiahou Hui with a smile on his lips, and added, "When I heard that the general has arrived, I have ordered the soldiers of the Zhenyue Camp to line up in the school field. Awaiting review by the general."

It has to be said that he is really familiar with Xia Houhui's style of doing things.

Even Xiahou Hui could guess what he wanted to inspect the soldiers before returning to the main tent and made arrangements in advance.

Formation so fast?
It seems that he is the second tonggu now, right?
Xia Houhui was a little surprised and smiled, "Zishan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Well, please lead me over."

"only."

The school ground is two miles away. It is quite spacious and can accommodate at least 20,000 soldiers practicing martial arts.

Therefore, when Xia Houhui came with Leliang and climbed to the high commanding platform, he felt that his troops were not that many~
Looking down from a high position with squinting eyes, I saw the knights of the Heyi Battalion leading their war horses, one by one, forming a "convex" square frame around the huge school grounds. The protruding point is where the general's platform is, and the entrance part is This is the place where the soldiers of the Zhenyue Camp formed their positions.

A very ordinary square array.

From the distance and the Thousand-Man Governor standing directly in front, it can be clearly seen that it is composed of four small square arrays, and these four small square arrays are separated by Hundred-Man Governor, which makes it easy to calculate. quantity.

But, what about the 500-man governor?

Or is it that there is no 500-man governor in this Zhenyue camp, and Dubo is used as a combat unit?
And why is there still one person standing next to the governor of thousands of people?
Could it be that the Governor of Thousands of People actually deserves a deputy position?
"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Just when Xiahou Hui was secretly wondering, Leliang, who saw him stepping onto the general platform, signaled the drummers to beat the drums and raised the banners embroidered with "Xiahou" and "Zhenyue". The school grounds, which were originally silent, first heard the subtle sound of Shaka Shaka's armor rubbing together, and then a very neat salute sounded, "Greetings to the General!"

The shouts of four thousand people made people's blood boil in an instant.

At this moment, Xia Houhui could finally understand why arrogant and arrogant generals have emerged one after another from ancient times to the present.

Because this kind of sound can make people forget themselves!
Because this kind of scene can make people feel that although the world is big, I can run amok!
This is what it feels like to hold military power and look down upon the wilderness~
Recalling the new army of three thousand soldiers he led in Huainan, which was unarmored and poorly equipped, Xia Houhui felt that he was now a veritable general.

However, it is normal for him to feel this kind of shock.

The Chinese Army has always been known for being "fine but few", and Zhenyue Camp was selected from the Chinese Army. Of course, it has high morale, strict military discipline, and strict formations.

"Fake five hundred people to supervise Du Xing and pay homage to the general." "Fake five hundred people to supervise Lu Shun and pay homage to the general."

"Five hundred people are pretending to be in charge of Ren Ye and paying homage to the general."

As the eight generals standing at the front approached to pay their respects one after another, Xia Houhui realized that there was no governor of a thousand people in the camp.

Is it possible that the emperor wants me to be selected from the army?
Your kindness is truly magnificent~
With a vague understanding, Xiahou Hui beckoned Le Liang to come closer and asked, "How long is the interval between military performances?"

"Back to the general, according to the military regulations, there will be a one-day interval."

Walking quickly to the general stage, Leliang said solemnly, "But when we were previously ordered to select soldiers, we built a new Zhenyue camp and practiced martial arts for three days with one rest. Order the troops at Mao hour, make food at the second quarter; The martial arts performance is over at the end of the day. It is not time to compete in martial arts or other things. Today is the day for martial arts performance, but the general knows that the general will return to camp today, so the martial arts performance time will be postponed to wait for the general's review. "

With so many martial arts performances, is there no lunch?
Xia Houhui nodded, "Well, let's get started."

"only."

Leliang took the order, took a few steps back, and signaled towards the golden drum horn again.

Immediately, as the five square flags were raised one after another, another burst of drums and horns sounded throughout the military camp. Just as the drums and horns sounded, the flag representing the Hundred-man Supervisory Formation was also raised high, and a short whistle sounded in the square of soldiers. The news was spread out uniformly, and the four thousand Zhenyue Camp soldiers who were originally motionless instantly came to life.

"Yu!"

I don't know who the 500-man commander roared. The big oar soldiers in the front row inserted the tip of the oar into the soil and knelt down to hold it with their shoulders; while the spear soldiers in the back put their spears on their shoulders and followed the gap. Half of the spear body protrudes, making the spear tip glowing with cold light grow like a forest; the crossbowmen behind them all raise their crossbows, and the sword and shield soldiers in the formation cover their bodies with their shields like fish scales.

This is a defensive position to defend against the enemy's crossbow and arrow attacks, and to use the crossbow to defeat the enemy.

"prick!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, the front of the formation remained unchanged, but the exposed spear began to thrust, thrust, retracted, and thrust again.

"forward!"

The big oar was pulled up to make way for the passage, and countless sword, shield, and spear soldiers poured out, advancing step by step.

"sudden!"

This was an order to cover up the killing. The soldiers no longer maintained their formation, but rushed out more than ten steps under the leadership of their respective hundred-man governors.

After that, they also successively practiced conventional position tactics such as fighting based on vehicle formations, attacking from the corners on both sides, and using point-for-surface positions distributed in a shape.

The one-hour martial arts performance ended quickly.

But Xia Houhui was also quite satisfied.

Because during the martial arts performance, there was no chaos where the soldiers did not understand the sound of drums and horns, did not distinguish between flags, and not only advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, but also responded quickly, and the cooperation between the various arms seemed to be quite tacit.

Of course, this is just a bloodless martial arts exercise.

Whether they can still command order and live toward death on the battlefield remains to be tested.

If not, let me have five hundred people each lead the headquarters to fight against each other?
With this thought, Xia Houhui signaled the soldiers who had finished the martial arts to disperse, turned around and returned to the tent, "Zishan, General Xu, follow me." (End of this chapter)
