Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 208 No Prisoner

Previously, after Liu Zhang pacified Nanzhong, he moved the semi-Chinese Soyi and Qingqiang from Hanjia County to Shu County to live in Shu County, which was used as the basis for building the Wudang Flying Army.

Liu Zhang, who was returning to Chengdu from Linqiong, passed by the camp of Wudang Feijun on the way. He naturally stopped here, intending to investigate the results of Wudang Supervisor Shen Mi's training of Qingqiang and whether Qingqiang could Whether it is used in combat and meets his expectations.

Taking Shen Mi as the non-commissioned prisoner, Liu Zhang had many considerations here. First of all, Shen Mi had a stable temperament and a strict manner. In terms of temperament, he matched well with Qing Qiang. Qing Qiang had a brave temperament and liked private fighting, but he was also a bit lazy. It just so happens that people like Shen Mi are needed to cure him; secondly, Shen Mi was born as a half-human, with half barbarian blood flowing in his body, and Qingqiang has always been afraid of the barbarians and suppressed by blood.

As Liu Zhang strode out of the camp, he thought of Shen Mi, who he had placed as an unsupervised prisoner. He couldn't help but think of Wang Ping, who served as an unsupervised prisoner in the Shu Han Dynasty in history. Wang Ping's temperament was similar to Shen Mi's, both were more loyal, brave and strict. In addition to the fact that Wang Ping surrendered to Cao Cao along with Pu Hu, the seven-surnamed Yi king, and Du Yi, the Marquis of Xiyi, Liu Zhang guessed that Wang Ping might be the same as Shen Mi, with the blood of Xi people flowing in his body, or maybe he was a Han people.

However, the current Wang Ping should not be called Wang Ping, but He Ping. He had stayed in the home of his grandfather He since he was a child, and he had to wait until he grew up to change his surname to Wang.

"The king is plain and simple, and has the strategy of a great general." The tiger is lying in the north, and the sword gate is closed. ’ Liu Zhang thought about whether someone should go to the Danqu area where Wang Ping was born to inspect Wang Ping, a future general of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but chuckle. Even if he visited Wang Ping, the current Wang Ping probably wouldn't be of much use. After all, Wang Ping is only a child or a teenager now, and he won't be able to do anything. The collecting habit of famous generals needs to be cured.

After seeing Liu Zhang's figure, Shen Mi, who was wearing a helmet and shaking armor on the general stage, hurriedly got off the general stage and greeted Liu Zhang.

When he got close to Liu Zhang, Shen Mi knelt down and prepared to salute Liu Zhang. In fact, in the army, it is usually a military salute, and all you need to do is to raise your hands. However, Shen Mi believed that Liu Zhang had a favor for him, and there was no greater kindness than Liu Zhang. Knowing that he had met him, Shen Mi prepared to bow down to Liu Zhang.

However, Shen Mi failed to bow down. Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to support him and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, in the army, we only perform military salutes, and there is no need to bow down."

Seeing Liu Zhang's words, Shen Mi, who regarded Liu Zhang as Ming Gong, nodded in agreement, but cupped his hands and said, "Shen Mi has met Ming Gong."

Then Shen Mi stretched out his arms, pointed to the general platform with his fingertips, and said: "Please invite Ming Gong to stay at the general platform to inspect the Wudang Feijun."

Liu Zhang nodded, climbed onto the general stage surrounded by the generals, and then signaled Shen Mi to start his personal show.

There are over [-] men and horses, boundless. Although the Wudang Flying Army has [-] people, not all of them are arrayed today. Under the general's stage, there were only two thousand Wudang soldiers standing in formation, but even two thousand people could be called a sea of ​​​​people, occupying the huge school grounds.

Shen Mi suppressed his restless mood, calmed down, and signaled to the herald. With his look, the herald understood Shen Mi's thoughts. The herald ordered the drummer, and the drummer understood and started to swing the drumsticks heavily. beat the cowhide drum.

"Dong, dong, dong." The thunderous drum sound suddenly resounded throughout the school grounds, reaching the ears of every Qingqiang soldier with helmets and armor and spears arrayed in the middle of the school grounds. The soldiers of Drums, with muscle memory injected into them according to past training, tilted their spears forward half-way, forming a sharp wall made of spear points in front of the first row of spearmen, and they moved in unison. The formation marched forward, suddenly showing an overwhelming power.

When the spearmen stepped under the stage, Shen Mi waved his hand, and the thunderous drum sound suddenly disappeared. As the drums disappeared, the spearmen stopped their steps, and then the spearmen heard At the familiar sound of gold, all the Qingqiang spearmen put away their spears one after another, and moved from the front team to the back team, and from the back team to the front team, and walked back to the starting point.

The sunshine at the end of April was already a bit hot and a bit dazzling, but Liu Zhang did not ask for an umbrella to protect himself from the sun. He was not that squeamish. Now he half-squinted his eyes and carefully watched what Shen Mi showed him. Qingqiang training results.

After the forbidden spearmen exited the stage, a group of Qingqiang sword and shield wielders held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. They also showed their well-trained skills in an orderly manner under the orders issued by Shen Mi.

Seeing this, Liu Zhang smiled and nodded slightly. As a barbarian on the frontier of the Han Empire, Qingqiang was deeply influenced by Han culture and could be considered half-Han. However, at the same time, the barbarians had a bloody and brave fighting style. He hasn't completely taken off his clothes, so he can be regarded as a good young soldier.

As Qi Jiguang said in "The New Book of Jixiao", the best seeds for recruiting troops are honest countrymen with solid skin and flesh, black and thick skin. Only such people can command well and win battles.

Qingqiang here perfectly fits Qi Jiguang's selection criteria for troops. As a barbarian, Qingqiang does not have much cunning spirit. He is also happy to hear battles and loves to fight bravely.

The only fly in the ointment is that Qing Qiang is too fond of private fighting and single combat, and is not very familiar with the formation battle that the Han army is familiar with.

When two armies confront each other, tactics, formations, and formations are the magic weapons for victory. The courage of a single warrior is of little use on a battlefield of tens of thousands. As Napoleon said: "Two Mamluks can definitely defeat three." A French soldier, a hundred French soldiers and a hundred Mamluk soldiers are evenly matched; [-] French soldiers can usually defeat [-] Mamluk soldiers, and a thousand French soldiers can always defeat [-] Mamluk soldiers. soldiers. ’

Both sides are still French soldiers and Mamluks, but as the number of people increases, the combat effectiveness of the French soldiers increases crazily in an exponential curve with the support of tactics and formations, while the Mamluks do not have the training skills of the French soldiers. , fighting against the French soldiers under the emperor as a ragtag group, naturally resulted in defeat.

After the sword and shield players practiced for a while, it was time to leave. The next person to appear was the archer. As a native of the mountains, Qing Qiang is very good at shooting. After all, Qing Qiang who make a living by hunting, if they are not good at shooting, they may not even be able to eat. Not enough to eat.

Moreover, Qingqiang's arrows are different from those of ordinary Han soldiers. Qingqiang will prepare special poisons and apply them on the arrows. These poisons may not have the effect of killing the arrows, but they will have a strong effect on the person who is hit by the arrows. The damage is also very great, and the person hit by the arrow without any vital injuries loses his combat effectiveness.

"Good." Liu Zhang looked at the group of archers who came out and most of them hit the red heart of the arrow stack, and he praised them generously.

　I worked overtime today and my head feels a little dizzy. I can only contribute [-] words. Following the [-] words on Tuesday, I will make up [-] words over the weekend for readers. I hope you will forgive me!
