Chapter 363: A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door (1st update)
"This, this, brother Guizhang, is this the military training method you came up with?"
At this moment, Tong Zhisheng, whose face was red and veiny, looked straight at Gao Zhang, his expression made of excitement made his face, which was originally full of flesh, look a bit ferocious.
However, his eyes were full of admiration, and there was also an emotion called envy, jealousy, and hatred.
As for Cai Laoliu on the side, he looked at the marching phalanx and seemed to be a little distracted and kept mumbling.
"Impossible, how is this possible? You are obviously a scholar, but you still know the art of war?"
Faced with those expressions and eyes filled with envy, jealousy, hatred, doubt and even implicit hostility.
Gao Zhang maintained a modest smile and nodded slightly, standing calmly on the spot, admiring the Song Dynasty's Wu Ben phalanx.
Although Gao Zhang had known for a long time that the news that he was helping his father organize this spring parade had spread, Gao Zhang did not expect that Liu Qi's appearance today was indeed too dazzling.
After all, in the great military parades of the Song Dynasty in the past, the army was just like that. If it could move forward slowly and keep the troops in order, it was considered to be quite outstanding.
They had never seen such a square array with three lines: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.
Not to mention, the spirit displayed by those soldiers, as well as their military posture and pace, all refreshed people's outlook on life in this era.
Just as Gao Zhang was sighing and sighing, he heard a shout. He turned around and saw Yang Jian walking quickly towards him, waving to him frequently.
Knowing that his master had summoned him to inquire about something, Gao Zhang naturally did not dare to neglect. He picked up the purple robe that his master had specially customized for him and walked away quickly while looking at the other side.
At this moment, the square bow phalanx has also started to take a forward step, holding the bow in front, striding forward. Each of these great Song Dynasty warriors looked majestic and heroic.
The Tokyo people who were watching from a distance cheered, and even shouted with them that "long live your majesty, may the Great Song Dynasty be victorious".
Although the slogan is simple, it keeps coming back and forth in the mouths of the people watching the Spring Parade, as if it will never stop.
At this time, Gao Zhang finally arrived at Master Hunjun's side, only to see that Master Hunjun's expression turned red and he was staring at the phalanx in front of him with all his concentration.
Gao Zhang could only suppress the urge to say hello, and stood aside obediently, waiting for the master to finish his excitement first.
When the square bow formation, taking vigorous goose steps, got further and further away from the viewing platform, the official Zhao Ji finally let out a breath of relief.
When he turned his head, he saw Gao Zhang standing respectfully beside him. He couldn't help but feel happy and stretched out his hand to pat Gao Zhang's shoulder.
"These are the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty that were trained using the military training methods you have figured out, Xiao Gao."
Hearing Master Zhao Ji, even Xiao Gao shouted out. Gao Zhang, who realized that the other party was a little too excited, bowed to Master Zhao Ji in a polite manner, and then replied respectfully.
"When I reported back to the official, I just gave some trivial suggestions. The main thing is that our officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are united.
They are all willing to move forward with the most courageous attitude, and they are not afraid of hardships and hardships, but also want to serve the Song Dynasty and the officials..."
"Okay, okay..." Zhao Ji, an official, almost laughed out loud when Gao Zhang exaggerated the Song general's words in front of him in a serious manner.
This child is always so humble, as if he is afraid that others will take the credit for his work.
At this moment, the white-haired Commander Yang who was standing aside strode forward and bowed respectfully to the official.
"Officials, please don't listen to the modesty of the little Number One Scholar. If this review can have such an effect, the Little Number One Scholar should take the first place."
Commander Yang's crisp words of affirmation also made the military officials of the Great Song Dynasty nod their heads in deep agreement.
A strong general in the army cannot take away the merits of a child, especially this child prodigy who is already deeply favored by the emperor.
In this second step, whether it is the square formation, the goose step, or the training methods, they all came from Gao Guizhang's hands.
What's more, although Gao Zhang is still very young, he is quite knowledgeable about military strategy. Therefore, it is not a bad thing to show his goodwill in advance and give this little baby a hand so that he can become friendly with the military.
After hearing Commander Yang's praise, official Zhao Ji nodded towards Commander Yang, showing a satisfied and appreciative smile.
This old Yang Aiqing is indeed a kind and honest gentleman. His pertinent comments are enough to prove that his beloved disciple Xiao Gao has indeed grown up according to the template of Fan Wenzhenggong.
The square formations passed by the viewing platform and assembled on the other side.
Next, they began to conduct military exercises in front of the officials and a group of officials from the Song Dynasty.
Although Zhao Ji, an official, did not know much about military affairs, he had only appreciated the most famous "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
But at any rate, he never fails to attend the parade twice a year.
The drill he saw today also made him feel that it was different from the past.
The team's formation changes, as well as their dispersion and aggregation, are obviously much faster than in the past.
Furthermore, even if it is a multi-arms formation, it will not take a long time to build a complete formation like before.
Moreover, when the military formation is positioned to advance or even start an assault, the maintenance of the formation is much better than in the past.
These are naturally lively to the outsider, the official Zhao Ji.
However, the military officials of the Great Song Dynasty, as experts, knew very well that if the team's gathering and dispersion could be faster than the enemy's, sometimes it would be enough to change the outcome.
A military formation with quick, accurate and coordinated movements can allow generals to command like arms and fingers, making operations more efficient and timely, and can also become the winner on the battlefield.
Who could have imagined that just the formation drills could bring so many benefits to the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
This is one of the reasons why Commander Yang praised Gao Zhang as a little kid and won the recognition of many military officials.
At this moment, there were more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty. The shield-bearers were outside, the Changyu-hands were behind them, and behind them were a large number of archers.
The first to attack the imaginary enemy is naturally the long-range archer.
Every wave of arrows that crossed that long distance and fell into the distance would cause countless Tokyo people to burst into exaggerated cheers.
Even those military officials with outstanding merits and achievements also looked at it with red faces and happy expressions.
And every wave of arrows also caused the soldiers participating in the military exercise to cheer in uniform excitement.
