Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 757

The messenger Liu Jinyuan sent from the country of Wa traveled thousands of miles, and finally brought the latest news from the country of Wa.

Now there are no more emperors in the Wa Kingdom, but the Wa Kingdom under the control of Liu Jinyuan and Du Qianqiu does still exist.It's just that this kind of existence is just like the Manchukuo established in the Northeast during the Japanese invasion of China in later generations. It is just a puppet, a tool used to control and even exploit the Japanese people.

"Wo Kingdom was defeated too quickly. After all, it is also a country of a thousand times." Ma Wentao was not as secretive as Han Xizai, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he said it at the Xiaochao meeting.

From the point of view of Ma Wentao or the vast majority of people, it will take years to destroy a country of a thousand chariots!But according to what the messenger said, it only took more than a month.

The leapfrog development of military technology, especially the iron armor that is popularized to every ordinary soldier, has made the Japanese army completely unable to compete with the Far East Navy of Xiangfu Kingdom on the frontal battlefield.

Regardless of the tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand troops that the Wa Kingdom can piece together, the core is only two or three thousand, or even only a few hundred elite warriors.

Maintaining morale on the battlefield and opening up the battle are the work of the core elite.During a normal war, these elites will be held in the hands of the commanders and generals, becoming the backbone of the front line, and the winners who turn the tide at critical times.

However, in the face of an enemy composed of purely strong soldiers, the Japanese army, which is mainly composed of conscripted farmers, cannot compete with it at all.

Therefore, the information brought by the messenger is enough to piece together the reasons for the disastrous defeat of the Wa Kingdom.

In terms of the number of troops, Liu Jinyuan and Du Qianqiu have a total of [-] people. The troops are indeed at a disadvantage, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are still superior.Liu Jinyuan and the others only need to rush directly to the weak point of the enemy's formation, defeat the enemy in front of them, and then let the defeated soldiers attack other enemy troops like a shepherd dog chasing sheep. collapse.

Especially with the strength of Liu Jinyuan's more than 3000 fully armed elite troops, as long as they perform at a normal level, they can easily overwhelm the army dominated by tens of thousands of Japanese peasants.

Not to mention that Xiangfu Kingdom's expeditionary navy had a crossbow arrow in their hands, and everyone wore iron armor. Every time they rushed forward against the bamboo arrows of the Japanese army, two rounds of crossbow arrows could cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army. Morale dropped.

"This is fucking hell!" Wei Ziqi wailed as his whole body collapsed on the bed.

Xin Ruishan hung his head on the bed opposite him. They had been training for nearly two months, and the intensity was getting stronger and stronger. They ran twenty miles today.

They are all infantry in the training camp. Even though they have never fought a battle, they still know the usefulness of marching in a hurry, but it is physically difficult to travel twenty miles in such a hurry. I heard that they set out every day at dawn, and they have to march with their armor on and march before dark. Seventy miles.

The endless queues and physical training every day, the various thrusts of iron guns and the rapid shooting of crossbow arrows made him want to vomit. Now he is completely disgusted with being a soldier. The beautiful military uniform and mighty armor look It is no longer pleasing to the eye.In response to the saying of later generations, I regret three years of being a soldier, but I regret not being a soldier for a lifetime.Others will never truly understand the hard work of soldiers training and the pain under discipline constraints.

But they couldn't leave if they wanted to at this time, because Xiangfu Kingdom had its own laws and regulations to restrict deserters, and Xiangfu Kingdom's army did not have the civilized training and military methods of later generations of the People's Liberation Army that would not allow beating, scolding and corporal punishment.Those who are slack and lazy will be beaten, and those who disobey orders will be beaten or even placed in confinement.At the beginning, I used thin wooden sticks. After the weather got cooler at the end of July, I added clothes, and changed the thin wooden sticks to slightly thicker ones. I heard that the teaching team changed them uniformly, and it was one of the instructor’s equipment.Changing to a thick wooden stick, the beating became even more painful. At least Xin Ruishan's buttocks had been injured many times.

Gao Debao next to him said exhaustedly: "Damn it, there are still [-] push-ups and [-] squats to stand up at night, my whole body is falling apart, how can I move!"

Xin Ruishan cast a resentful glance at Fang Dangyong in the middle of the room. That boy just turned 20 years old. He was from the Qiang Mountain God Village who was almost exterminated by the head of the Xuanwu Army Zhan Xiongwu. Now he is naturally in the Mountain God Town.I heard that he was already married and had children in Shanshen Town. He was persuaded by His Majesty's student, Mr. Kou Zhunkou, to join the army with more than 60 other Qiang warriors.I don't know if it was brainwashed by Mr. Kou Zhun, or if he was born with a single-minded mind, he listened to the instructor for everything, and didn't give any discounts, and even reported on those who were lazy.So with the supervision of this insider, if they want to be lazy at night and avoid the two hundred push-ups and squats, they will not work.

On the first day of the training camp, You Hongming kindly took out his own bacon, but Xin Ruishan ate his stomach badly and was beaten by the instructor.In the first few days, Xin Ruishan hated this guy to death, but this guy looks big and thick, and the most important thing is that he has the same hobby as Xin Ruishan.The two like-minded people soon got mixed up regardless of past suspicions.

At this time, You Hongming whispered to Xin Ruishan: "Fatty, is there anything to eat?"

Xin Ruishan said impatiently: "No, I finished all I bought last night, so I don't have time to go shopping now."

"I heard that someone bought snacks at the Twelfth Company. You can buy them there, but you have to pay a high price."

Xin Ruishan glanced at Fang Dangyong, and said, "Do you dare to go out? Today, when I was traveling across the country for a long distance, I took a shortcut and was reported by Fang Dangyong."

You Hongming gritted his teeth a few times, "I have also been sued twice by him, we can't bear it, if I were in my original army, I would beat him early in the morning."

Gao Debao who was next to him quickly came over and echoed, "That's right, how do we deal with him."

Xin Ruishan rolled his eyes and waved to Wei Ziqi. Wei Ziqi had already heard it. He waved his hand and said, "Don't call me, I'm afraid the instructor will come back and clean up. Don't go either, the punishment for beating your comrades is severe."

You Hongming grabbed Wei Ziqi and dragged him over, scolded him in a low voice: "If you don't participate, you won't have your roast chicken and you won't have a share of the wine."

Wei Ziqi thought for a moment with a sad face and nodded. The four heads gathered together. You Hongming turned to look at Zhou Zhaodi who was next to him. That Zhou Zhaodi pretended not to hear.

Xin Ruishan whispered: "Don't pay attention to him, he won't talk about it, let's go tonight"

The late night in the barracks was quiet, even the people who practiced at night had already gone to sleep, only the sentries on duty and the patrolling pickets were still walking around, and it was pitch black everywhere.

The soldiers in the barracks of the [-]th company had already fallen asleep. The intensive training made these soldiers very tired, and the snoring in the room was like thunder.

A few black shadows quietly got up from the long kang, You Hongming was the closest to Fang Dangyong, he touched Fang Dangyong's pillow, and after all four of them were in place, You Hongming grabbed Fang Dangyong's quilt suddenly and covered it tightly On top of him, the other three went up and beat Fang Dangyong without saying a word.

Fang Dangyong was suddenly covered with a headache and hit him in his sleep. At the same time, he screamed in panic, the bravery of the Qiang people was also aroused, and they desperately resisted, but most of the voice was absorbed by the quilt and turned into a melodious tone. Individuals are useless.

Several black shadows punched and kicked, Fang Dangyong was kicked by big feet repeatedly, and the basin and rice bowl placed on one end of his feet were kicked loudly. Several awakened teammates sat up in panic and asked loudly.

Xin Ruishan and the others hurriedly pressed Fang Dangyong's feet, and Gao Debao finally punched Fang Dangyong hard in the stomach, causing Fang Dangyong to curl up and couldn't even make a sound.

The three of Xin Ruishan took the opportunity to jump off the long kang, and crawled back to their positions along the passage in the middle in the dark. You Hongming, who covered his head, punched Fang Dangyong's head again, and while Fang Dangyong was dizzy, Chance turned around and ran back to his bed.

At this time, most people in the room were awake, Fang Dangyong took a few breaths, and then moaned loudly, Xin Ruishan, Wei Ziqi, You Hongming, and Gao Debao all asked on their beds: "What's wrong! What's wrong There! What's the matter?"

People in the room went to look for kindling, Zhao Shiqiang said loudly: "Don't move, I'm going to look for the fire, don't talk, the squad leader orders his own people, and agrees to those who get off the bed first, I will beat anyone who gets out of bed." Who."

Gao Debao coughed and started the roll call. Wei Ziqi and Xin Ruishan both agreed loudly. There was a constant sound of roll call and promises in the room. At this moment, the door slammed, and two lanterns rushed in quickly. All quiet, no noise after the sound of the rest horn at night!"

The house immediately became quiet. All the soldiers who came to participate in the training camp had been scared by these pickets and instructors since they entered the base. The corporal punishment was also varied. Xin Ruishan was even made to squat on the four legs of an upside-down stool. half an hour.Now as long as it is what the instructor says, no one dares to discount it, including Xiaoqiang like Zhao Shiqiang, who claims that he is not afraid of being beaten.

Instructor Jia Peirui came quickly, and he asked the team leader Zhao Shiqiang what happened. Zhao Shiqiang was sleepy at the time, and it took a while to figure out how to recover completely.

Jia Peirui held a lantern and approached Fang Dangyong, only to see a swollen spot on Fang Dangyong's face. This Fang Dangyong often reported that his teammates were lazy. The instructor can't say it either.

Today, it is obvious that those teammates are retaliating against Fang Dangyong. Fights are common in the army. This kind of retaliation is to challenge the authority of the instructor.

Jia Peirui asked coldly: "Do you know who hit it?"
