Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 70: Thousands of People Kneel to Worship, New Army New Numbers!
Family!
The man's eyes widened and his words hit his heart like a heavy hammer.

It shook like thunder!

Did he go back home?
No, no, no….
He is scared!fear death!

He is a soldier in Youzhou, and the scenes of fighting on the battlefield in Youzhou a month ago linger in his mind like a nightmare!

The fresh lives, the miserable faces, and the wailing before death made him feel that life is so insignificant!

Brothers and comrades-in-arms fell before their eyes, how could they remain indifferent?

"Take the general away, and I'll distract the pursuers!"

"There are still people in the city, we can't retreat!"

"Damn it, where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? The Turkic barbarians are about to break through the city!"

"We can't hold on anymore, we must take the people away!"

"Goodbye...goodbye...my unmarried...wife..."

"Xiao cavalry army, charge!!"

On the day the city was broken, those hundreds of foolish people, with their solitary figures, resolutely rushed to the Wanhu Division!

Walk alone!

The man pressed his head, tears streaming down his face at the thought of this.

He fears!
He is too scared!

He is afraid of death! !

Afraid of war, he knew that he had embarrassed Youzhou's ace army Xiaoqijun and also embarrassed Governor Chai.

He doesn't want to be afraid either!
But he couldn't control it, whenever he wanted to fight, he would think of the scene of blood and tears!

He is really... really too scared...

He didn't want to step into the bloody battlefield again and watch scenes of life and death unfold before his eyes.

That's not a battlefield, that's hell!

Obviously one day you can laugh and talk about the rumors, but the next day the world will be separated.

Coupled with the fact that he was captured in Turks for more than half a month, he collapsed.

Those inhuman tortures made him fearful when he saw Turkic people.

Even when Duwei Yang wanted to lead people away, he didn't dare to follow him. It was the king of Chu who finally broke through the Tie Le tribe and rescued him.

He raised his head and looked at the faces of the people who stayed behind. Even children of a few years old looked at him with burning eyes. He didn't know, when, these people stayed in a foreign country with His Highness the King of Chu. , will turn into cold corpses, falling in a pool of blood and convulsing...
They will die, this place is not Datang after all.

But they, it seems, are fearless….
Willing to give everything including life for that man...
"I, I, I..."

His tears welled up even more fiercely, and he fell to the ground frantically like wanting money.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a coward, I don't deserve to be your brothers and sisters, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I don't have a home in Datang..."

He collapsed again, pressing his head and weeping crazily.

He kept chanting words in his mouth.

The will of these people who are not afraid of death is like the light standing on the highest point, so that he dare not look up at them.

They are so dazzling, so dazzling, so dazzling….
How could he, a deserter, deserve to keep pace with them.

Crashed to the extreme.

Beside him, the person who spoke just now stopped saluting and stepped forward to hug him heavily.

He didn’t say much, just kept saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay…”

That man was a farmer, and before Youzhou broke the city, he was still thinking about how to build an extra mu of land. It was not until the Turks caught him that Youzhou was broken.

That man is an idiot, and he doesn't even know Chinese characters. How can he comfort this soldier?
I can only keep saying, "It's okay, it's okay..."

And the collapsed him, under the comfort, constantly, constantly, returned to normal.
.
…………………….
This scene is, after all, the tip of the iceberg.

Many people still haven't seen it.

Just like the biggest military officer who returned this time, Ding Governor Shi Guosong.

"I'm sorry, Captain Yang, I... want to take the brothers home, especially many brothers, before they died, they asked me to bring their bones back."

"I want to go back to see Governor Chai to let him know that the Xiaoqi Army has not disgraced him. I also want to let him know that there are thousands of people in Youzhou on the Turkic grassland who want to go home..."

Guo Song's face was filled with guilt.

Captain Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go, I won't blame you, and the remaining brothers won't blame you either."

Guo Song nodded lightly: "Yes."

They are best friends, best friends to each other.

This farewell, I don't know when we can see you again.

Perhaps, we will never see him again for the rest of his life.

Even so, they didn't say much, they just kept looking at each other, watching...
It seems to want to reflect the other person's face deeply into the depths of one's soul, and never forget this important friend in life.
.
…….….….….….
Soon.

The people who want to return to Datang have gathered.

General Baihu led the army on horseback, and beside him was the mighty king of Chu.

"Your Highness, after I leave, you must be more careful."

"After all, there are a lot of people missing, and that little Confucian general is extremely thin. I'm really worried about whether he and his army can protect you."

General Baihu spoke.

Li Kuan was stunned by these words.

Little Confucian General?
Li Kuan rolled his eyes: "Bai Hu, someone else has a name, Chen Qingzhi, Zi Ziyun."

Bai Hu curled his lips: "Okay, I understand, but be careful anyway."

He seemed very displeased with Chen Qingzhi.

Perhaps it has something to do with Chen Qingzhi rushing to fight with him every time these days.

After completely walking out of Danshui Town, General Baihu said, "Your Highness, you can send it here."

"it is good!"

Li Kuan didn't say much and stopped where he was.

General Baihu did not lead his army to set off, but looked at his Highness silently.

This farewell, I don't know when we can meet.

He also wanted to see more of this man who brought them great glory.

Silent.

Li Kuan didn't bother him and watched quietly.

half an hour.

General Baihu sighed and said seriously, "Take care."

"Well, take care."

Li Kuan nodded.

General Baihu turned around sharply, without any hesitation, raised water and shouted loudly: "All troops, let's go!"

At this order, the commanders of the major White Tiger battalions rode their horses and walked around to control their small teams, shouting "All troops, set off".

Finally, they set off.

It's just the backs of many people who went back to Datang, a little lonely and depressed.

It seemed like a defeated army.

Yes!

They just lost the battle!

They think so of themselves.

Walking and walking, until the people were about to become little black spots, Li Kuan was ready to go back with the people who came out to stop and watch.

As for the one that left the team, no one dared to look back.

The eyes of the people and soldiers left behind, they dare not look at them, they are unworthy, unworthy to look...
however.

Halfway through, a soldier suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Your Highness!!!!!!"

The voice was so high that it stopped the King of Chu and the people who had already grabbed half of their bodies to go back.

They turned their heads again and looked at the people who were about to become little black dots in the distance.

For the person who turned back, His Highness King Chu also became a black spot at this moment.

But that wasn't the case in his eyes.

King Chu's small figure has expanded dozens or hundreds of times, and he is a giant tree that can stand up to the sky and the earth.

"Oh!"

He fell to his knees heavily, his eyes were red, tears welled up in his eyes, and each tear fell to the ground as if it was free of money.

"Oh!"

There was another sound, his head hit the ground hard, and he was worshiping the man.

"This time!"

"Thank you for your trouble!!!"

He choked up his voice and shouted, shouted loudly, and shouted with all his strength.

The other people who wanted to go back immediately joined in one by one. The sound of "bang bang bang" was endless. They fell to their knees and their foreheads hit the ground heavily. Some people even knocked their heads out of blood because of too much force.

But they....don't care....
"Your Highness, thank you!!"

"Your Highness, I will go through fire and water for you in the next life!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

"......."

Every sound and every sentence is different.

After all, there are civilians among them, who will not speak out together with the soldiers, and only care about expressing their innermost words.

Thousands of people knelt down, cried and shouted. This scene was too shocking.

Li Kuan's eyes flickered, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahahahaha!!!"

"Get out, get out of here quickly!!"

"Don't let me see you again in the future. If I see you again, it will be in the Turkic Grassland. I don't want to spend any more force to save you who are so stupid and captured!"

"Get out of here, get out of here! Go back to your homes!!"

The sound is not loud, but it is like the voice of heaven, echoing in the ears of everyone who wants to go back.

At this moment, many people couldn't help but laugh.

then.

Under the command of General Baihu, they got up again and headed towards that house.

at last.

King Chu and Fushui Town behind him can no longer be seen.

General Baihu ordered the people to stop, and said: "Everyone, after you go back, don't talk about His Highness's existence!"

"Just say, you were rescued by me, Baihu, you know?"

People nodded heavily to show their understanding.

Even so, General Baihu did not hold out much hope.

Human nature is complex and interests come first.

Moreover, there are so many people here, it is difficult to guarantee that the secrets will not be leaked.

This is also the main reason why he did not agree to King Chu and let these people go back.

If the secret is leaked that King Chu is still alive and ready to establish a state, General Tiance will know soon, and how crazy Tiance will become is beyond the imagination of General Baihu.

All I know is that it's going to be crazy!

A man who is mortal can escape, and he is preparing to establish a country...
This is more terrifying than any threat!
Admiral Tiance will definitely use all his strength to destroy him and his Jiangdong.

Really, taking these people back will do a lot of harm but no benefit.

But His Highness is too willful.

He also has no choice.

A sigh.

General Baihu stopped thinking about it and continued to lead the team forward.

However, he still underestimated the determination of these people.

I underestimated it, I underestimated it...
…….….….….….
the other side.

Farewell to these people.

Floating Water Town resumed operation again.

Make briquettes when it's time to make them, chop wood when it's time to chop it, patrol when it's time to patrol...

Everything is back to normal.

However, nearly 2000 soldiers gathered in the main square.

These were called by Li Kuan.

General Baihu left with his White Tiger Battalion. He needed to expand new military forces to continue defending Fushui Town.

The original Youzhou soldiers are ready-made soldiers, so they are the most suitable.

Those people chose to stay, so naturally they didn't have another word for King Chu's orders, and they did what they said.

Although they come from various ranks and different arms, it doesn't matter. Their main task is to be responsible for patrolling, vigilance and other town protection work.

In foreign wars and plunder, the White Robes naturally serve.

This was a newly built army, and Li Kuan named them the Self-Defense Army.

Gathering together at this time is to train them well.

All are centralized, and Chen Qingzhi will conduct unified management and unified training today and even in the future.

Today is the first day of training for this new army.

If a newly assembled army has not undergone any training, cooperation and tacit understanding, even if it is equipped with powerful armor and weapons, its combat effectiveness will still not be very high.

Such an army is a mob on the battlefield.

The equipment in hand is also a sharp weapon for the enemy to kill himself.

So training is necessary.

It takes at least a month of training, and only after it has achieved results can this army be worthy of the title of self-defense army.

Chen Qingzhi, who trained them, was undoubtedly a top military expert.

They are very proficient in forming troops and forming formations.

On the school grounds, 1945 Youzhou soldiers were densely packed.

Chen Qingzhi was walking around the school grounds, constantly giving out his training tasks.

Ancient military training did not include many items. One was to be able to understand drum sounds and orders, such as evacuation and attack.

The second is actual combat training, in addition to the use of various weapons, there is also strength!
The strength of the legs depends on jumping with various weights, the strength of the upper limbs relies on throwing stones, drawing bows, and weapon exercises, and the overall strength of the whole body, in addition to wrestling, mainly depends on weightlifting.

Take the big cauldron used for cooking meat!
Li Kuan walked around and found that Chen Qingzhi's training method was different from that of the general public, mainly training soldiers' mutual cooperation ability and various formations.

The soldiers formed into formations of three or five, giving full play to each individual's ability on the battlefield.

The strength of an army does not lie in the bravery of individual soldiers or generals, but more in the overall cooperation.

Fighting on the battlefield, even if it is as brave as Xiang Yu, its role is limited compared to the entire battlefield.

Unlike cavalry who rush, encircle and destroy formations, infantry often form battle formations and face the enemy with majestic force.

Often faced with large-scale melee.

Therefore, if you form a formation of three or five, forming a small group and avoiding the situation of fighting alone, you can perfectly display your combat effectiveness.

Li Kuan was surprised. After all, Chen Qingzhi was a cavalry general and had such experience in infantry training.

He originally planned to train these people in person after a period of time when these people had a preliminary tacit understanding, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

"Your Highness."

Finally, Chen Qingzhi found the King of Chu and hurriedly saluted.

Li Kuan raised his hand and said with a smile, "Ziyun doesn't need to be too polite. This king is just here to watch the military training."

"I just inspected around, and I have to say, Ziyun, your method of training troops is not bad."

"I am very relieved to hand over these 1944 soldiers to you."

Upon hearing the words, Chen Qingzhi replied humbly: "The last general is only familiar with the art of war, and summed up a set of methods through his own superficial insights, which made His Highness laugh."

The two discussed training new soldiers for a long time.

Li Kuan suddenly said: "Ziyun, although your military training method is excellent, it is biased towards military formation drills and cooperative operations between teams."

"But the physical strength of the soldiers failed to take into account."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi immediately knew that King Chu had more to say.

He hurriedly asked: "I don't know Your Highness, but if you have any opinions, I will listen attentively."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "I have a body-refining method that can make the soldiers stronger and more powerful. This is also the body-refining method of my four-beast army."

"Use this body training method for the self-defense army, not only will you be able to become physically strong in the future, but a group of strong soldiers, combined with Ziyun's army formation, will definitely be able to train an army that can gallop the world."

"In addition, this king also has a set of military training methods, which can quickly gather military power and sharpen the military spirit."

After hearing Li Kuan's words, Chen Qingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Kuan's words just now can be said to be in his favor.

He is proficient in arranging troops and how to train soldiers to fight in threes and fives.

However, he is not very good at how to quickly gather military power, sharpen the military spirit, and how to refine the body.

Take the method of body training as an example. Since ancient times, there has been no systematic training method. Each general has his own way of leading troops, and it is difficult to achieve uniformity.

According to legend, Wu Qi mastered a set of exquisite body training methods, which is why he trained the famous Wei Wuzu.

Fifty thousand Wei soldiers defeated the Qin army ten times larger than themselves, which is simply a miracle.

As for the method of training troops that can quickly gather military prestige, Chen Qingzhi has never heard of it.

Looking at Chen Qingzhi, whose eyes were already shining, Li Kuan smiled and said: "It's okay, you practice first."

"This king will organize a set of body training methods and military training methods that can quickly gather military power and give them to you."

Chen Qingzhi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Kuan waved Chen Qingzhi to continue with his work, and he went to check the situation in Fushui Town.

Nowadays, everything needs to be done by oneself.

This couldn't help but reminded him of when he first arrived in Jiangdong.

Seriously, dream back to Jiangdong.

After returning to his residence, Li Kuan stayed up all night and recorded all the most practical parts of Jiangdong's physical training methods, which are also the military training methods in later generations.

Methods such as sit-ups, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, cross-country marches, running with weights, etc. are all written down.

This is a training method known to ordinary people in later generations. Although it is simple, it is the result of scientific research and can exercise the body to the greatest extent, so it is also widely used in the army.

Although there are more in-depth army training methods, the self-defense army in his hands has just been formed not long ago, and these basic methods are enough.

The most common training methods for the army in this era are nothing more than practicing boxing and guns, lifting stones and weights, and so on.

Although these can also have the effect of strengthening the body, the training efficiency cannot be compared with the scientifically proven training methods of later generations.

As long as you follow those training methods and carry out quantitative and regular training every day, you can easily improve your physical fitness in a short period of time and achieve the effect of exercise.

In addition, regarding how to shape the army, Li Kuan also wrote the same method as training the Four Beast Army.

For example, standing in a military posture, walking forward, walking in unison and so on.

It took a whole night for Li Kuan to finish writing. After sorting it out, he ordered someone to send it to Chen Qingzhi early in the morning.

After Chen Qingzhi received these weird training methods and various suggestions from Li Kuan, although he was very surprised by the content, he also didn't understand it.

But he still trained the soldiers according to the training method given by his highness, and at the same time began to build the overall discipline of the army.

The main square of Fushui Town.

The nearly 2000 self-defense troops were divided into ten teams and stood in rows after rows under the scorching sun, unable to move.

Captain Yang patrolled as usual. This self-defense force was going to be led by him in the future, so he couldn't be careless.

But seeing so many soldiers standing still today, Captain Yang couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "General Chen, didn't His Highness give you a training method, why did you let them stand here motionless and bask in the sun?"

Hearing Duwei Yang's words, Chen Qingzhi turned his head and said, "This is one of the training methods His Highness said, and it is called standing in a military posture."

"The purpose is to cultivate perseverance and military power, as well as forward steps and the like. It is probably to make everyone walk at the same pace... This will be the training content later."

"Lieutenant Yang, you should take a closer look. After a few days of training, you should take over the training. After all, they are your soldiers."

Yang Duwei nodded and replied, "Okay!"

"However, standing here and basking in the sun can cultivate military might and perseverance?"

His tone was full of incomprehension, and he couldn't understand the relationship between the two at all.

"I don't quite understand either, but since this is the method His Highness gave, then follow the training."

"Your Highness is quick-witted and has extraordinary thoughts. How can we speculate on his thoughts?"

After Chen Qingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and continued to supervise the soldiers for the next round of training.
.
…………………….
For a whole day, Chen Qingzhi commanded nearly two thousand self-defense troops and practiced all the training methods given to him by Li Kuan.

After a day's training, all two thousand soldiers were tired and sore all over.

All of them bared their teeth and grinned, almost losing the strength to even move while sitting on the school field.

Even the veterans are like this. They can't imagine how tortured the new recruits will be in the future.

The Self-Defense Force currently only has nearly 2000 people. It is not that the establishment is only 2000 people. It will definitely expand in the future.

In the evening, when he arrived at the school, Chen Qingzhi, who came to inspect the training situation of the recruits, smiled and said loudly: "Everyone did a good job today. We will carry out such intensive training every day in the future, and it will be slow in the future." Slowly increase, please continue to maintain."

And his words immediately made all the soldiers explode.

"Tomorrow will continue!"

"What kind of training is this? Is this for training people? This is for torturing people!"

"This amount of training is killing me. Are we going to increase it later?"

"General Chen, can you talk to His Highness to lighten the burden of training."

"Yeah yeah!"

"General, what is the use of this training method? I still can't see it. Can you explain it?"

"......."

There was an uproar in the school grounds. After all the soldiers heard Chen Qingzhi's words, their fatigue and resentment after a day of training suddenly burst out.

"quiet!"

Chen Qingzhi's face turned cold, and the shout spread throughout the school grounds, directly suppressing the voices of all the soldiers.

Then he walked to the front of the stage and said, "Do you all think that this kind of training intensity is too harsh and unbearable?"

"If you think so, you can speak out, and I won't blame you."

After hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, the soldiers looked at each other, and finally a courageous soldier stood up and said courageously: "That's right! General, you are just talking, but we are going to die of exhaustion." .”

"Although we are prepared to stay and are willing to sacrifice our lives for His Highness, but...it is completely meaningless to stand in a military posture and walk rightly, and it makes us exhausted half to death."

"I suggest, General, that we cancel it."

What the soldier said caused other soldiers to echo him.

It can be said that this soldier was extremely rude when he spoke to Chen Qingzhi like this, as can be seen from the ugly faces of Captain Yang and others behind him.

But instead of being angry, Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "If you are willing to sacrifice your life for His Highness, it is not in vain. I can approve of your determination, but I don't approve of your strength!"

These words silenced many soldiers.

Although they were originally Youzhou soldiers, some of them were soldiers of Chai Shao's trump card army, the Xiaocavalry Army.

But the white-robed army commanded by Chen Qingzhi was able to kill them all instantly without exception.

He is indeed qualified to say such a thing.

They are, indeed, too weak....
Seeing that the soldiers' anger was gradually calmed down, Chen Qingzhi struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Now, I would like to ask, if you go to the battlefield now, how long can you survive?"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yes, how long can you live?
Although they are all veterans who survived the Youzhou battlefield, they are not sure if they will survive that kind of war again, or even die!

Chen Qingzhi glanced around and saw that no one dared to question the training. He knew that he had convinced them, but he continued: "Let me tell you, I, Chen Qingzhi, only need to dispatch two hundred thousand white-robed troops to slaughter you." Almost exhausted.”

"Even with a difference of ten times, I can kill you group, so-called veterans!"
