Chapter 66 Red Cloth

Qin Dongyang is now very strict in practicing combat formation tactics.

Each array is like a small black square, with more than ten people arranged in an orderly manner, echoing the array on the left, center and right.

There were also several drummers and flag bearers, which made the young men know in advance that they would fight with the order of the golden drum.

If conditions permit, various terrains such as rivers, streams, hills, shrubs, etc. will be deliberately set up, and the array can be adjusted according to the terrain.

According to the Great Wei military system, there is a sling in the middle. Long slings are more suitable for use than long spears and iron spears. The slings are flat, with blood grooves, and blades at both ends, which can be stabbed or swung. They are quite sharp weapon in the military.

The middle-long slinger is a small number of knife players, and more of them should be archers and crossbow players.

However, the number of hard bows is insufficient now. Xu Zixian has already submitted a letter to Chen Wen of the Grand Governor's Office and requested to allocate 200 hard bows and 100 long bows for daily use and training.

If it really doesn't work, you can buy it from the public.

The people of the Great Wei Dynasty could not help but have firearms, swords, guns, sticks, etc., and bows could not help but make hard crossbows and strong crossbows. Strong crossbows were too powerful. If there were evil people and assassinating officials, they could succeed at a distance of hundreds of steps away, and it would be difficult for the guards to protect such a long distance.

The killing of bows and arrows is dozens of steps away, but bows and arrows are difficult to practice, easy to learn and difficult to master. In addition, folk hunting is also inseparable from bows and arrows. During the customization period of Taizu, it was also recommended that folk martial arts practice and arrows be practiced to maintain the folk martial arts atmosphere. Therefore, there are many folk bows and arrow clubs in all walks of life across the country. Many officials, gentry and famous scholars often play with bows and arrows in order to be proficient in the "Six Arts", but they are just showing off.

In addition, it is also prohibited from building armor among the people. It doesn’t matter if ordinary people or folk martial artists are skilled in bows and horses. If you build armor again, can you become an elite soldier in an instant? So no matter how the weapons are released, privately building armor is equivalent to a serious crime of conspiracy and this one has never been relaxed.

It is difficult to create bows and arrows, but the folk archery atmosphere is strong. It is not difficult to buy a qualified hard bow. However, good bows and arrows are expensive, and a dozen or even dozens of trump cards are at least. With the financial resources of the Hou Mansion, it is difficult to support it. This matter is also an important matter, but it has been delayed.

In any case, the configuration of sword cards and archers and crossbow players in the queue must be included. Zhang Huchen is a general family. When Qin Dongyang was not around, he was the general training. The young men were divided into two teams, with three sentries on the left, center and right, attacking, changing the queues, intersecting long snares, and continuously firing bows and crossbows, and sword shield protection arrays, which looked very much like it.

Xu Zi looked at it for a while, walked to the front of the formation and said to the sword player on both sides: "The sword is a wooden sword, and the sword is a wooden sword, but when training, you should treat the guy in your hands as real. The cover must be serious, the technique of slashing, and don't talk about fancy things. First, strength, eyesight, three, skills, and four, you must have the courage to go straight and kill the enemy without any strength. Like you, you can respond to the story and swing the sword softly, what will it look like?"

The young men cheered up and listened. Although Xu Zixian could not eat and sleep with them, he was very strict with their rules and also took good care of them. When training, he would train at the same place as long as he had time, practice equipment, strength, run together, and explain the formation diagram at night.

The young man in Zhangzhou who had been following him for two months has been in the villa and received two monthly money. Both are Chongde Tongbao, and Huang Cancan’s heavy copper coins are more effective than any motivation.

What's more, a broader future is waiting. Not only is the identity of a general with an official position, but Xu Zixian has also said clearly that the recruitment of the group training will be recruited, and more than a thousand people are farmers and strong men around them. Most of them are illiterate and older. There may be talents among them, but most of them will still send the Marquis’ Ya general to be an officer in the future and can get a formal commission.

Whether it is the teenager in the surrounding villages or the refugee boys in Zhangzhou, such a future is no different. With the efforts Xu Zi put in first, these teenagers are already very loyal. The loyalty of young people is easy to obtain, but they will not be easily lost. This is also the reason why successful heroes have always been able to raise young people in the army and even accept adopted sons.

Of course, Xu Zixian would not accept his adopted son. This method is just to save trouble.

"I want to use you, not because you are very strong now, but because I hope you will become stronger and can use it for me in the future." Xu Zixian said sternly again: "If you don't have all your strength, your body will not be bruised or swollen all day long. What kind of training should you do? The monthly monthly money and fish every day are for you to play here?"

With some motivation, whether it is a slinger or a knife player, they try their best to train each other. In less than two moments, many people were beaten to the point of bruises and even bleed through the skin.

Xu Zi first ordered a suspension and he personally debrides and bandages the injured boy with others. The people who were bandaged by him were moved and their bodies trembled slightly.

Zhang Huchen, Lin Cunxin and others watched from the side. Zhang Huchen looked calm and determined, and said in a positive tone: "If the prince trains troops like this, these children will not only be strong soldiers and elite soldiers within half a year, but will also become generals who will lead troops in the future."

Lin Cunxin nodded in agreement. His eyes flashed. He had already planned to write a letter after going back and send someone to the Lin family in Zhangzhou. If there were young children who could be made, they might as well send someone to send him here as soon as possible. Others saw that the prince could not succeed in training the group. However, in Lin Cunxin's opinion, what a person like the prince would do would definitely be successful. If the group training was trained together, they would enter it early or join the palace to participate in training, and become the prince's early team. It would have a great effect. In the future, even if the Fuzhou group training cannot become a regular soldier, the officer's military registration is on the list and becomes a formal military officer in the court. There will never be any mistakes in this level.

Looking at Zhang Huchen again, it seems that he is considering everything. The Zhang family is a general family of Xinghua Army. There are not necessarily many suitable children in the family, but there must be many.

While the two generals were watching, Xu Zixian called more than thirty archers aside.

The folk archery atmosphere is very strong, so many of the teenagers who were originally good at shooting, and after being guided by experts, their shooting skills have made rapid progress. However, the Marquis' Mansion did not follow the Great Wei military system, and more than half were crossbowmen or archers. Xu Zixian knew the importance of long-range weapons in infantry battles, but the teenagers he trained now were still cultivated with melee military officers as the prototype.

"In addition to skills, my most important expectation for you is to enforce orders." Xu Zixian said to the young archers: "I hold a red cloth in my hand, and you can ejaculate wherever I throw it. How about it?"

A young man named Li Pu was more lively and brave, and he smiled and said, "If the prince is left in front of him, we will not dare to ejaculate."

"I don't like to say it for the second time." Xu Zi didn't get angry at all, but said to the archers seriously: "The worst of you, you can even hit seven or eight arrows when you first came. I don't believe that after practicing for so long, it's better than when I first came? I have confidence in you, and you must believe in yourself."

The place where the arrow practice is far away, so Xu Zi walked over all the way and left Xijiaomen. There was a place with thirty or forty targets standing there, and this was the arrow field.

Everyone was dressed up in short clothes, and some of them followed Xu Zi first. Zhang Huchen and others also temporarily stopped training and frowned and looked here.

Before Xu Zi walked to the target first, he had already taken a red cloth tied with stones from his hand. This was Zhang Huchen's way of training riding and shooting. When a knight rode on a war horse, it was easier to shoot fixed targets in circles, but it was difficult to shoot and move the target. The most difficult thing was to throw the red cloth. If you can shoot the red cloth, riding and shooting was considered the beginning.

If you want to talk about the highest level of riding and shooting, of course, it is to rush to shooting willows. The willow branches are smaller than the red cloth, and the willow branches are soft and tough, and they lack strength, so they keep hitting.

Shooting Liu was originally the highest method for riding and shooting in the military middle school entrance examination. Now, these subordinates of Xu Zixian are still very early to shoot Liu.

"The place where I throw it is where you are going to shoot." Xu Zixian said with a serious expression: "Remember that military law requires obedience first, and there is no second chance."

After saying that, he threw the red cloth into his hands more than ten steps in front of him, shouting sternly: "Cum for me!"

The words were still in my ears. Li Pu and others who had already pulled their hard bows and waited on each other, had already shot all the pine fingers and opened the strings. The arrows flew like locusts, making a buzzing sound. The crackling sound of the bow strings followed closely. When I looked again, more than 20 arrows fell near the red cloth, densely packed, like a newly grown shrub.

Looking at Li Pu and others, their faces were pale. Zhang Huchen and others had already rushed over and kicked and hit these young archers. Li Pu and others were deeply regretful and afraid. They were also extremely awe of Xu Zixian, all thinking that if someone was not accurate just now and had a little more strength, the consequences might be unimaginable.

"I'm not that stupid." Xu Zixian looked very happy. He walked closer, stopped Zhang Huchen and others, and said with a smile: "I know very well about the shooting skills of these people. There is a mistake of about one step. Even if I miss my hand, I will throw it away ten steps. If I can shoot me, unless I deliberately shoot me, but if their shooting skills are shot, they will definitely shoot me again, I'm afraid they won't shoot me again."

Zhang Huchen grinned and thought about it. Thinking about it, these guys made seven or eight out of ten shots, with a distance of at most one or two steps. If they were shot intentionally, they would probably not hit. But after thinking about it, they would be too arrogant.

Zhang Huchen said at this moment: "Qin Dianwei is not here, but I will report this to Dianwei and Fengchang. I am afraid that they will come to talk to the prince for a few words. The prince should not blame me at that time."

"It's natural." Xu Zi responded first, turned his head and said to the archer boys: "There is no absolute security in the world. If it is absolutely successful, if someone says this to you, just shoot him with an arrow. I want to test your courage, courage, and awe for me. You are all qualified to pass the test, and I am very satisfied. If you have something to use you below, I can rest assured."

"Yes, prince." The boys agreed in unison, and finally someone said: "It's better to try another way next time. This time, I'll scare half of my life."

Xu Zi smiled without saying a word. This kind of test method, like Maodun Shanyu, is considered to be a pick-up person, but people who don’t read much will not know it. Moreover, it is very effective and has been tried every time.

If you have hesitation, dare not ejaculate, or deliberately missed, such people are smart, but they can do other things. People who serve in the army and eat food are still like these young men in front of you, with a simple mentality and a better way to follow the orders.

It can be seen that the young men carefully selected by Li Yi, Qin Dongyang and others, whether they were local or Zhangzhou refugees, were all the best seedlings to choose from.

"Don't train this afternoon." Xu Zixian ordered Zhang Huchen and others to say: "Change them clean robes, and the whole team will be dispatched in the afternoon. Follow me to work in various parts of the town."

Zhang Huchen glared and said, "What does the prince want us to do?"

Xu Zi first kept it in hiding and said, "You will know then."
