Chapter 288: The results of the battle (I)
Everyone stared at the direction where the sound came. Whether it was the city guards or the special forces, at this time, their attention was completely focused on the east of the camp, the direction where the sound came.
"The guard...resist the horse...spikes lined up..."
A series of violent shouts came out of Liu Junshu's mouth. His face was solemn and there was a hint of anger. No matter how well these people were trained, they could not change the fact that they were all recruits and were newcomers who had been on the battlefield for the first time.
The city guards woke up as if they were dreaming, and the shield soldiers and spearmen formed a compact queue.
The square formation is always the best choice for dealing with cavalry assaults.
Before them, the crossbow archer removed the deer-skin backpack behind it, which contained hexagonal iron diamonds. Before they ran to the square formation, they sprinkled many of them in a irregular manner within ten steps.
The number of Tielingzi is not large, but it is enough to give any malicious cavalry team an unexpected surprise.
Under the cover of the darkness, these things that harm people will not be discovered without careful searching.
After doing all this quickly, the crossbowmen turned around and ran back to the formation. They opened the crossbows and were ready to face the formation.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and it sounded like thunder.
The night gradually faded, and another day was coming.
A red sun suddenly jumped out of the morning mist, sprinkling thousands of rays of rays of light, almost illuminating the entire plain in an instant, and dyeing the faint morning mist red. The layer of vague morning mist gradually retreated under the sunlight, and the world suddenly became clear.
The knights in the distance approached, and a thick black appeared in front of the city guards. The brand new armor actually had a illusion of slowly flowing under the morning light.
"The Black Flag Army... is the lord here."
The excitement of shouts spread throughout the army, and the city guards were in full bloom.
Facing the sunshine, Xu Haifeng had a gratified smile on his face. He was not surprised by the performance of these new recruits.
Because he also grew up from a newcomer.
Until today, he will not forget the situation when he first went to the battlefield to fight the Caesars. When they repelled the Caesars' attack, they were so impulse to be indifferent when they won.
It is hard for people who have been able to save their lives and win on the battlefield for the first time. It is hard for people who have never experienced it.
The city guards laughed and laughed loudly, holding up the weapons in their hands and laughing wildly.
"General Liu can be here..."
The cheers suddenly settled down, and the city guards looked at Commander Liu, who looked calm and without any fluctuations.
Liu Junshu strode out, and he used his light body skills, but in just a moment, he came to the front of the horse team alone.
Xu Haifeng dismounted and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Liu is indeed extraordinary. The first battle of the city guards won beautifully." He bowed slightly and said: "Mr. Xu congratulates Brother Liu on his victory."
Since meeting Liu Ting and believing someone's alarmist words, Liu Junshu has been willing to stay in Wolong City.
Xu Haifeng has many talents under his command, but there are extremely shortage of senior generals who can command the first army.
The city guards have expanded their troops twice, and the number of people at this time is more than 30,000. However, the candidate for command has always been a concern for him.
Before Liu Junshu, Ge Haojian temporarily took over his post.
However, the new supervisor of Wolong City was not born in the army after all, so it was helpless to let him take up this position. It was not until Liu Junshu surrendered that his urgent need was solved.
As one of the most outstanding generals of the Liu family, Liu Junshu acted well, and the city guards were convinced by the moon and the position of this commander was becoming increasingly stable.
He bowed slightly, Liu Junshu returned a bow and said, "I dare not take it. General Xu is a military officer of about 10 years old and has good training. The city guards are already quite powerful. Liu can only enjoy the success." Although Liu Junshu's tone was calm, he was a heartfelt word.
The city guards were mostly ordinary people from the former Tufan Kingdom. Xu Haifeng only started to form an army after leaving the capital and returning to Wolong City.
In just over a year, their performance has been quite impressive.
In fact, if the individual quality of soldiers is not enough, their teamwork has opened Liu Junshu's eyes.
To achieve this level of tacit understanding, according to Liu Junshu's estimate, even if it is the elite army of the Huanglong Legion, it will take at least several years. However, these city guards with average qualities can easily do it, which surprised Liu Junshu who had just taken over.
Later, with Xu Haifeng's permission, Liu Junshu came into contact with the military academy that was unique in the world, which was specially used to train low-level non-commissioned officers.
After studying intermittently for a while, he understood the truth.
The biggest difference between the city guards and other troops is that they pay great attention to the training and training of medium and low-level officers. This is something that no unit in the world can compare with.
The role of low-level officers, especially low-level officers, in the army, is unparalleled and irreplaceable.
Such a theory completely subverted Liu Junshu's previous cognition, but when he thought about it carefully, he had to admit that this sentence was indeed a famous saying.
There are indeed generals full of personal charm. As Liu Junshu saw, there were at least five people in the territory of the Han Dynasty alone.
The ancient Taoist beard, Fang Lingtian, Fang Lingchen, Tan Hongda and Li Bohu.
The five of them have a lofty and supreme position in the hearts of those brave soldiers in their respective commands. They can even win the heart of an army by relying on their own reputation.
However, there are only a very small number of generals like them, and it is no exaggeration to describe them as rare.
Neither the new commander of the Tianying Legion, or the commander of the Huanglong Legion, Liu Zhengzhong, they could not reach this level.
The orders of these five generals will become like imperial edicts in their own troops and can be meticulously executed. When the two armies are fighting, as long as their flags are still flying on the battlefield, their army will have the courage to move forward.
They were able to do this because they were the gods in the army, and their names already represent the spirit of soldiers.
Therefore, what the Han Empire pays most attention to is the cultivation and discovery of senior generals. Once such generals are available, the combat effectiveness of the troops will increase exponentially.
However, except for the Fang family's direct troops, the Northern Camp, the remaining commanders were in power for only more than ten years. Once the time came, they had to transfer their troops.
Because when they do this, the troops they lead have become their private army, and because of this, their army can burst out with invincible combat power.
This is the Han Dynasty and the Liu family's world. No matter which emperor he is, no matter how wise he is, he cannot tolerate this potential threat.
Therefore, for hundreds of years, except for the commander of the Northern Legion who came from the Fang family and the commander of the Huanglong Legion who came from the Liu family, the commander of the other three legions was undecided.
This has led to an inevitable consequence, that is, if these generals leave their army, the effect of their reputation will be greatly reduced.
Similarly, if the commander of the troops is not such a famous general, the morale of the soldiers will definitely not be so high, and it is even more impossible to exert the maximum combat effectiveness.
Everyone understands this principle, but from beginning to end, many sages are helpless about it.
Which of the combat effectiveness of the army or its own country is important? This seems to be an unsolvable contradiction.
However, the emergence of military academy changed this phenomenon. The emergence of a large number of low- and intermediate officers who have been systematically trained have made the army's cohesion unprecedentedly united. Strong cohesion represents invincible combat power.
They are no longer private troops, no - they are still private troops, and their loyalty is Xu Haifeng, the principal of the military academy, and not Liu Junshu, who served as the commander of the city guards.
He knew that although he was the highest commander of this army, if he wanted to make a mistake and wanted to be unfavorable to Xu Haifeng, what was waiting for him would be unimaginable consequences.
Even if he stayed in this position for another ten years, he still did not dare to have such a luxury.
Because he was not sure what choice would all the soldiers make when Xu Haifeng appeared in front of the army.
Liu Junshu looked up at Xu Haifeng with a smile on his face. His kind face had a faint smile, as if nothing in the world could be rare to defeat him.
Perhaps, he has become the sixth such a famous general.
"What? Brother Liu is still satisfied with the performance of these men?" Feeling his strange gaze, the smile on Xu Haifeng's face became stronger and stronger.
Liu Junshu nodded silently. Although he didn't say a word, he had to admit it.
The City Guards were the most handy troops he had ever led.
On weekdays, all the soldiers will spontaneously discuss and exchange their experiences. Especially as the war is approaching, this atmosphere becomes even stronger.
Before this expedition, middle and senior generals who were qualified to obtain the action plan expressed their opinions and put forward countless suggestions, many of which Liu Junshu himself had not noticed.
There are many completely different opinions among them, but from the moment Liu Junshu decided to come down, there was no other objection in the army.
Even though they were dissatisfied with Liu Junshu's orders, they showed that they were obedient in their actions.
On the lobby of the military academy, there are four large gold-inlaid characters: obey orders.
Yes, the first iron law of the army is not flexibility, not courage and tenacity, but obedience.
Obey orders.
There is no reason, only the troops that absolutely obey orders are a real iron army.
The city guards did it, and they were instilled with a thought on the first day of their establishment - obeying orders.
Until today, they finally did it, and it was almost perfect.
