Dawei Fanghua

After receiving Sun Li's words "All armies should be diligent in training", Qin Liang was ready to take action.

The group of people Sun Li brought to Shouchun numbered several thousand. They were composed of Chinese and foreign troops and private soldiers called "villagers" and "menke". They stayed in Shouchun city all day long, neither farming nor training. .

Qin Liang had carefully observed that the group of people usually wandered around the governor's mansion and the military camp in the city. After doing some things like traveling with the driver to make a big impression, standing guard, and patrolling, they then idlely worked on making weapons and arrows, repairing walls, and repairing houses. Such chores are only done occasionally.

As the chief of staff of the governor, Qin Liang should of course formulate training plans and arrange various specific matters (according to Qin Liang's own understanding).

The most elite Chinese and foreign troops in the Wei State did not eat very well. They mainly had rice, wheat, millet and other staple foods, with very little meat and eggs, so they had a large appetite. If they were unlucky and encountered a general who deducted military rations, they might occasionally eat. Be hungry.The private soldiers are organized thugs raised by bully landlords, and their treatment is slightly better. Rao Dashan and Wang Kang are that type of people.

Qin Liang thought that if he practiced for half a day only the next day, it wouldn't be too much.

After some preparations, Qin Liang found Zhang Hui.Before Qin Liang went south to inspect the terrain and hydrology, Sun Li sent a private general to accompany him for protection. That general was Zhang Hui.We have been together on the road for more than a month, and our relationship is quite good.Moreover, Zhang Fei was a private military general, and he was more willing to ensure that what Lord Sun Li said was effective.

Zhang Fei's only regret is that his surname is not Tang.

Qin Liang asked Zhang Fei to take Wang Kang and Rao Dashan to various military camps and notify the generals that they would each bring a team of soldiers and horses and all their equipment to assemble early tomorrow morning.

Shouchun is the political, economic and military center of Huainan region. It is also a military fortress with complete military facilities.There is a school ground and training platform in the north of the city, which are built of rammed earth.The place where Qin Liang and his soldiers gathered the next day was here.

A lot of people came, probably several hundred people, but because the generals did not see Sun Li, they did not restrain the soldiers, causing a large group of people to make a lot of noise and not line up in the school field.

Qin Liang walked onto the training platform and looked around the school grounds.

I saw that the soldiers of the Chinese and foreign armies had a high rate of wearing armor, and more of them wore black armor, but there were also quite a lot of double-dang armors and undershirts, all of which were made by hand.There is even someone who seems to have an iron spittoon hanging upside down around his neck, which looks a bit funny, but it does have a name, called a basin collar.

At least most of the people present had armor. It was just that some people's armors were relatively rudimentary. For example, there were two levels of armor without shoulders, and some people wore hard leather armor.

The Chinese and foreign armies are known as the world's elite. Qin Liang estimates that the main reasons are simply the high rate of military deployment and stable food supply. These two factors are the most important.Armor is an extremely important weapon, so the imperial court regulates armor but not swords.

It can be seen that economy is still a prerequisite for the army, even in ancient times.

At this time, several generals carrying various weapons walked onto the training platform. After bowing to each other, Qin Liang frowned and asked, "General, why don't you restrain the soldiers?"

The general walking in front did not answer the question, but said: "Qin joined the army, didn't he say that Sun Gong summoned the soldiers? Why didn't he see Sun Gong?"

Because Qin Liang was often around Sun Li, the general should have recognized Qin Liang, so he directly called Qin Canjun.Qin Liang said: "If I ask General Zhang Bairen (or General of the Infantry Department, equivalent to the captain of the Infantry Hundred) to take charge, Sun Gong agrees to summon the soldiers."

The general looked stunned, clasped his fists and said, "The Cavalry Commander (who commands three hundred cavalry) Yang Wei."

Next to him, there were two Qudu (commander of hundreds of cavalry, cavalry captain) of the cavalry army who also recommended their names.One of them was very tough, not tall but very strong, and the muscles on his arms had reached to the point where his shoulders were covered. He made a deep impression on Qin Liang, and his name was Xiong Shou.

The generals of Wei's generals were generally of high rank. If we only talk about their rank, Yang Wei's two subordinates were also higher than Qin Liang.But as Qin Liang was someone close to the governor, these generals should give him some face.

As soon as Qin Liang thought about it, Yang Wei said: "Master Sun is not here, so we might as well go back to the camp."

When Yang Wei said this, he looked at Qin Liang specifically. He probably knew that Qin Liang might get angry if he spoke like this, so he was waiting.

Rao Dashan next to him looked angry. As soon as he took half a step, Qin Liang grabbed Rao Dashan's arm and thought to himself: You don't even have a staff, what can you do?
Qin Liang was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Ming Gong is considerate of the soldiers and treats you well."

This time it was Yang Wei's turn to be stunned. After a while, he finally said: "Let's practice, brothers."

Just when Qin Liang breathed a sigh of relief, Xiong Shou, a sturdy man with a thick face, said: "Qin Junjun wants to teach us how to train, so why not compete with me to open the eyes of all the troops first."

Zhang Hui, the general of the private army, finally couldn't help but said: "Brother, this is too much. Qin Shenjun is a civil servant, why should he practice with you?"

"That's a bit too much, haha!" Xiong Shou scratched his forehead and laughed, "My hands are itchy and I want to have a friendly discussion with others when I see them. I didn't notice that Qin Canjun is a white-faced scholar."

When Qin Liang heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful, please."

Several people present looked at each other, Xiong Shou said: "Do you really want to fight?"

Qin Liang said: "Please show mercy, general, until you and I order."

So the two of them each picked their weapons and stood in a corner on the earth ramming training platform.The noisy soldiers below also gathered one after another. Seeing a fight is really something that the army likes to see.

Qin Liang did not choose a long weapon, nor did he take the most common ring-headed sword in the army. He directly used the sword on his body, a Han sword, less than five feet long (at this time, one foot was about 23 centimeters, and ten feet was only more than two feet). Mi three).Xiong Shou picked a spear used by cavalry. It was actually a spear, but the iron head was longer and heavier than the infantry spear. The length of the wooden pole alone seemed to be more than ten feet.

When Xiong Shou saw Qin Liang's weapons, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Qin doesn't need to take a long weapon when he joins the army?" Qin Liang said, "The general is wise, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger, especially in battle formations."

"I'm not welcome!" Xiong Shou shouted and rushed over with a spear in one hand.Qin Liang pretended to fight, but suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Xiong Shou was wearing armor and was obviously heavier than Qin Liang, so he immediately chased after him.Xiong Shou's face turned slightly red, and his mood was aroused by what happened just now. He seemed to be a little irritable.

Qin Liang slowed down and looked sideways at Xiong Shou's position.Xiong Shou quickly caught up with him, and immediately waved his long spear with both hands to sweep him over.Qin Liang only took half a step back, and the strong wind swept in front of him with a "whooshing" wind.

Seeing this, Xiong Shou held a spear with one hand and chased fiercely while stretching out his arm to stab Qin Liang fiercely!His right hand had been stretched to the limit, and in order to reach Qin Liang, his body also leaned forward.

Soon after, Qin Liang suddenly retracted his feet, kicked hard, and his body rushed back.At the same time, he lightly tapped Chang Hao, who was now top-heavy, with his sword. Hao's thrust was immediately deflected. Qin Liang's body passed by Xiong Shou, but he did not attack him with the sword.

Qin Liang, who was holding a short weapon, was already close to Xiong Shou, and the victory or defeat was decided.But Qin Liang didn't show it too obviously.

The series of counterattacks were so fast that several people on the stage were stunned. Maybe some people didn't see clearly what was going on.Xiong Shou cursed: "Damn, it's too uncomfortable! I'm sorry!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to fight.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wei said: "Okay, okay!"

With a "clang" sound, Xiong Shou threw away the gun and walked towards Yang Wei.The onlookers also lowered their gazes one after another, and the noisy scene soon returned to the stage.

Qin Liang put the sword back into its scabbard and said: "General Xiong's moves are fierce and the strong wind breaks through the air. He must be a fierce general. I admire him!"

"Alas!" Xiong Shou said, "I underestimated the enemy just now and didn't pay attention."

At this time, Yang Wei said: "Qin Canjun is here to save face for you."

Qin Liang smiled and said: "No, no. I am a civil servant and I don't rely on bravery to make a living. What can I not afford to lose?"

Yang Wei glanced at Qin Liang with a complicated expression.Seeing this, Qin Liang smiled and said, "General Yang, can you restrain the soldiers from lining up?"

"I'm going to call the troops immediately," Yang Wei said.

With the shouts and curses from the generals, the generals quickly fell silent and stopped making noise. They lined up on the school field one after another and took their respective positions.Sun Li's troops were far from being present. Qin Liang also said that "each general will bring a team of troops to gather together." Therefore, there were about 300 troops present.

In fact, the generals were not all present either.The number of cavalry was not large, so the cavalry governor should be a high-ranking general in Sun Li's army; but there were no high-level infantry generals.Judging from the size of Sun Li's army, which numbered several thousand, the infantry generals had at least Yamen Governor (infantry commander) who commanded [-] troops.

The establishment of the Wei army at this time was no longer the same as that of the Han Dynasty.Qin Liang has learned that it is probably still a structure such as the Ministry, Qu, Tun, Team, Shi, and Wu, with two and five times as the upgrade units.

However, some generals should go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so there will be three times the number of people in the establishment.For example, the cavalry governor commanded three hundred troops, but there were only two captains of the centurions, called cavalry commanders. The remaining one hundred cavalry were led by the cavalry governor himself to charge into battle, which was equivalent to the cavalry governor serving concurrently as the captain of a team.

After all the troops were lined up, Qin Liang stepped off the rammed earth platform and wandered around the queue for a while, with several generals beside him.

Qin Liang picked up an infantryman's spear and visually checked that it was less than two people tall. The wooden pole was estimated to be only more than ten feet (ten feet is about two meters and three meters).He looked around and saw that some spears were of different lengths, but the longest was just over three meters.

He held both hands in his hands, stabbed forward, turned around and asked the soldier: "Is it this way?"

The soldier suppressed his laughter and replied: "It's almost the same, and it can still be used."

At this time, Qin Liang raised the spear high, put the tail of the spear on his arm, took a step forward and turned sideways.Then Qin Liang held the wooden pole with his left hand in front, and pressed the tail of the spear with his right hand behind him, and controlled the stabbing. He stabbed it quickly a few times, and then asked, "What about this?"

A general nearby observed it and said: "This saves effort. It cannot be swung, and the moves are slow and cumbersome."

Qin Liang said: "Lengthen the spear by five feet and stab it through at least two layers of dense spears. What other moves are there? If I stab one of you with three or five people, does that mean you still have three heads and six arms to resist?"

Another five feet would not exceed three times the height of an average person, and it could be even longer.But the enemy is the Wu army, and the spear is about the same length as the Wei army, as long as it is longer than the Wu army.The longer the spear, the harder it is for the spear infantry formation to turn and the slower it advances.

Moreover, the Wu army had very few cavalry. There were some northern noble generals who were good at riding on horseback, but Wu did not have many horses.Therefore, it is unnecessary to make the spear too long, not to mention that the infantry cannot only use one type of soldier.

In addition, Qin Liang also specially found the Huanshou sword left by the Wu army. It was one to two feet shorter than the Wei army's sword. It seemed that it was easier for the navy to use it on the boat.

Qin Liang compiled these specific enemy information and submitted them to Sun Li.As Sun Li's favorite saying in The Art of War says, know yourself and your enemy and you will never be in danger of a hundred battles.
