Chapter 185 Training

The twilight is dim, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The salt people in Dingxichang strongly requested to join Zhang Yang's army. Some people along the way also asked to participate. Zhang Yang had to accept their request reluctantly, and his men expanded two more battalions, with Lv Zhen and Bian Yuanheng as commanders respectively, with a total force of 2,000 people. Moreover, in the most In the next few days, there will be small farmers and exiles nearby, so he estimates that the number of people will increase, 5,000 or even 10,000, which is possible.

However, having people does not mean having combat effectiveness. Today's daytime battle is a good proof that there is no strict training and no organizational discipline. What's the difference between that and the ordinary peasant army?

Due to the lack of blacksmiths, skilled blacksmiths have been invested in the production of Tianque. Only by casting simple spears can we meet the weapon needs of such a large-scale summoning of the army. However, today's battle proves that only spears are sometimes not enough, spears, shields, waist knives, and various weapons. Only when it is used together can it exert greater power.

As for the original combo crossbow, Zhang Yang completely abandoned it. The original combo crossbow is a good weapon for self-defense, but it can't be used to attack. The crossbow body of the combo crossbow is made of bamboo, with short range and small power. It is used in the battle between the two armies, just like a child's toy.

If only more blacksmiths could be recruited to concentrate on the production of Tianque. Now, the proportion of Tianque's equipment in the team is too low.

Some of the more than 200-day players originally trained were assigned to the two newly established battalions to serve as the middle-level command of these teams. In this way, the whole team can be effectively controlled. The remaining more than 100 people are asked to gather together to form a fist. If necessary, it is a killer.

In the battle during the day, some brave people, such as Liu Dezhi and Liu Ergou, got what they wanted, and some people didn't get it. They were so envious that they secretly made up their minds. Next time, they must rush to the front and kill a few tars.

The soldiers of each battalion who get Tianque will be organized into a separate team. Zhang Yang specially pointed out a few veterans and taught him how to use and maintain them as soon as possible, as well as various precautions.

When Tianque is equipped with more equipment, each battalion can be organized into a separate 100-person team, so that the effect of centralized use should be better.

After swallowing Dingxi Farm, Zhang Yang felt like a hungry man. Now what needs to be solved is how to digest and absorb it.

The army needs to be trained into an elite soldier.

In the salt farm, it is necessary to prevent the counterattack of tartars and resume production as soon as possible.

The large households nearby should solve the problem as soon as possible, food and other materials, and we should find a way from them.

Land, it is necessary to have a perfect reform plan. Only when farmers get land can they truly support themselves from the heart.

Everything quickly flashed in Zhang Yang's mind.

And the most important thing is to train soldiers. In this troubled world, without our own strength, we can only sway with the wind and struggle.

The bodies of the tars in the Dingxi farm have been piled together and cremated on the spot. Anyway, there are a lot of firewood and grass in the salt farm, and the bodies of several spear soldiers who died in the battle were placed in the open space in the center of the salt farm, in front of the yamen of the salt farm.

Zhang Yang is here to hold a small ceremony for them.

If possible, Zhang Yang would like to find a band to play military songs for them, cover the national flag, fire twenty shots into the sky, and then bury them.

However, Zhang Yang has no band, no military song, and no national flag.

He just observed a moment of silence for the dead soldiers.

The whole audience was in silence. They looked at Zhang Yang, who lowered his head, and consciously lowered their heads.

"Minging!" Zhang Yang shouted.

"Ban, bang, bang." Three sharp sounds of fire crossed the night sky and flew to the distant sky.

"Brothers." Zhang Yang said, "Today, we took Dingxi Farm and rescued nearly a thousand of our compatriots, which is a great credit! This is a new beginning for us!"

With Zhang Yang's inspiring words, everyone's suppressed heart just now had a trace of excitement.

"We are deeply oppressed by the tars. We have nothing. All we have is just this cheap life. However, we will use this life in exchange for the life we deserve. Everyone says, are you willing or not?"

"Yes!" More than 2,000 soldiers shouted together.

"Where there is a battle, there will be sacrifices. However, we should make our sacrifices worth it. We fight for a better tomorrow. Only by protecting ourselves can we make our battles meaningful. The way to protect ourselves is strict training, only skilled warfare. Scholars, only in battle can we avoid greater casualties! Sweat more at ordinary times and bleed less in wartime!"

Sweat more at ordinary times and bleed less in wartime! This sentence is like a spring breeze, which permeated everyone's heart. If a general has achieved success, which general will care too much about the life and death of one of his soldiers? In their eyes, the soldier was just a small pawn, and the eldest brother they had just joined cared so much about everyone's life, which moved them.

Zhang Yang took a look at everyone and knew that his words had played a role. He was thoughtful and know everything. The foundation for his strict training had been temporarily laid.

"send the body!" Zhang Yang said.

These soldiers who died in the war were all near the Baiju Salt Farm, not very far away. Therefore, Zhang Yang asked people to prepare several carriages to send these bodies back to their hometowns for burial, which will also greatly boost the morale of the soldiers.

The next day, the "inhumane" training began.

There are enough people now, so not all people are trained in Dingxi.

Tang He took the second battalion back to the murder port. Since he attacked the Baiju salt farm, the murder port has been almost defenseless. This is his birthplace, and there is another important thing below, so people must be sent back to garrison.

Shi Yi took the first battalion back to the White Pony Field and trained in the White Pony Field while preparing for the battle to prevent the counterattack of the tars.

The remaining two battalions were left in the Dingxi field and trained by Zhang Yang himself.

Although the training places are different, the content of the training is roughly the same.

On the battlefield, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he is not defeated by thousands of troops. Why? Cooperate with tacit soldiers, well-trained formations, and strict organizational discipline are all magic weapons to win.

A team, ten fine steel spears, stabbed together, ordinary shields, can not resist, so the main content of the training is that everyone in the team cooperates closely, completely obeys the command of the ten husbands, lift, stab, collect, and prohibit. The ten-man commander obeyed the centuror, so that a swarm of bee-like charge will be turned into an orderly attack.

A thorn, a thorn, or a thorn, a fine steel spear, a thorn is a day, even an iron man can't stand it, his wrists are sore and his arms are weak, but everyone is insisting.

Train to sweat more and bleed less in wartime!

Zhang Yang's scouts are all over the west and rivers. Once the tars come to encircle and suppress, they can immediately take countermeasures.

Before the storm, it was surprisingly quiet and prosperous. What are you doing? Gao You, what are you doing? Huainan Jiangbei Province, what are you doing? Dadu, what are you doing? How come there is no response to my behavior?
