Even under Liu Chan's constant urging, the 100,000-strong army would not march very fast. They would keep a rough distance every day and try to reach Shunchang in half a month. So in desperation, Liu Chan could only train his troops while
march.
Liu Chan was an out-and-out expert in military training, Zhao She among Zhao She. The reason why the Shu Kingdom could still go to war with the Wei Kingdom with only one state was because Zhuge Liang knew both military training and military formations.
Moreover, he was Liu Chan's father-in-law. Under his influence, Liu Chan also had an average level of military training. But even so, he was much better than most generals in the Song Dynasty.
For hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty, civilian officials suppressed military attaches, which led to the decline of many classic military formations and military training methods, and the generals lacked inheritance. Therefore, most of the famous generals in the Song Dynasty were from wild backgrounds and had not received systematic teaching at all. This is similar to Liu Chan
The difference is that Liu Chan was fed tactics by others, and he had to consider whether he wanted to eat them or not.
"Quick, quick, move, you're not full, are you? The one on the right, I asked you to move forward, but you don't understand, right? And the one on the left, wherever you are running, run to someone else
In the formation."
Han Shizhong didn't know what to say when he heard the yelling and cursing outside the tent. Can you imagine the emperor yelling and cursing outside the tent? If Han Shizhong hadn't seen that Liu Chan was indeed capable of training soldiers, he would have gone over to give him advice.
Vice General Hu Yantong reminded him: "General, won't you go and persuade His Majesty?"
"Persuade? Do I dare? How about you go?"
"I don't dare either."
Han Shizhong put down the map in his hand and sighed: "Just do as your Majesty wants. Anyway, we still have about seven days to reach Shunchang. When the time comes, let your Majesty go to Pengju."
"But Your Majesty has always been like this, and there may be many complaints among the soldiers in the army." Hu Yantong continued, saying that after days of marching, coupled with constant training, once the soldiers cannot endure it, it is easy to cause mutiny.
Han Shizhong pondered for a moment: "Let's go, follow me out to meet His Majesty."
The two of them walked out of the camp and saw Liu Chan pointing a wooden stick at the training soldiers and yelling at them. Seeing this, Hu Yantong laughed sarcastically. An emperor who stayed in the palace all day long, what kind of game was he playing as a coach?
Liu Chan heard a voice behind him, looked back and found that it was Han Shizhong. He said angrily: "Liangchen, your army training level is not enough at all. How can you kill the enemy on the battlefield?"
Before Han Shizhong could speak, he heard Liu Chan complain first. He wanted to explain something, but Hu Yantong next to him also spoke first: "Your Majesty, we are the elite of the Song Army. Our army besieged 100,000 Jin troops in Huangtiandang for as long as
In more than eighty days, we even achieved a great victory in Dayi Town, beheading about 50,000 Jin soldiers."
"The Kingdom of Jin is so weak?" Liu Chan said subconsciously, but little did he know that his words not only made Hu Yantong furious, but also made Han Shizhong feel uncomfortable.
It's not that Liu Chan did this intentionally, but he really felt that the basic level of the soldiers led by Han Shizhong was not enough, and they couldn't be called the Imperial Guard at all. An army that didn't even meet the training standards couldn't be said to be elite.
"Your Majesty, are you deceiving me that the Han family's army has no one?" Hu Yantong said in a hurry, without caring about anything.
Han Shizhong was immediately frightened and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's okay for me to teach you. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Although Hu Yantong was straightforward, he was not stupid and quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."
Liu Chan didn't mind Hu Yantong's words, but admired Hu Yantong very much. Just like Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Cao of Wei State, although he was straightforward, he was loyal.
"It seems that General Huyan disagrees with my statement."
Hu Yantong said in a sullen voice: "I don't dare."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. In the army, you speak on your own merits. There is no emperor here, only one soldier. Since you are not convinced, let's have a showdown."
"Your Majesty, you can't. Hu Yantong is a rough man. How can he fight with your Majesty?" Han Shizhong was anxious. He just wanted to give advice, but why did he end up like this?
Liu Chan pushed Han Shizhong's hand away: "Liangchen, I'm not kidding. If your army can't even handle this amount of training, go home and learn women's embroidery."
Han Shizhong was dumbfounded, Your Majesty, are you so brave? I can't stand it. In fact, Liu Chan didn't think so at first, but Zhuge Liang once said that the best thing to do when controlling an army is to convince them.
"Bring the sword." Liu Chan took his Black Iron Sword from Zhao Hao's hand and said to Hu Yantong: "I see that you are also a man. Don't be submissive. If you beat me, I will admit that your Han family army is elite.
"If you can't beat me, give me good training."
The soldiers who were training next to them just huffed and dispersed, formed a circle, and looked carefully at what was happening in front of them. The emperor and the others had seen the soldiers of the Han family army, but they had never seen the emperor fight with swords.
Hu Yantong was also unambiguous. He pulled out the sword in his hand and rushed forward. Seeing Han Shizhong jumping to his feet and cursing, he had long known that the deputy general next to him was brave and foolhardy, but he didn't expect that he was so brave that even the emperor dared to do it.
"Bang." As soon as the two men shouted, their expressions changed. Liu Chan did not expect that the deputy general next to Han Shizhong was really good in martial arts and strong enough. Hu Yantong also did not expect that Liu Chan was so capable, but this time
The level of force of the sword is enough for Hu Yantong to look directly at it.
The two sides separated, and each was a little cautious. The previous test had already revealed each other's details, and now it was up to them to see who could defeat the other.
Hu Yantong was the first to lose his composure and attack with his sword. Liu Chan blocked it with a horizontal slash, and then suddenly changed his move and stabbed Hu Yantong's chest at an alarming speed. Hu Yantong's pupils dilated. He immediately used the armor on his arms to defend himself.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan used another trick and kicked Hu Yantong all the way out.
At this moment, both Han Shizhong, Hu Yantong, and the soldiers standing next to him were stunned. Liu Chan was also in disbelief. He knew his own strength, and there was no reason to be so strong. As everyone knew, this was Zhao Gou's personal expedition for more than ten years.
The accumulated capital, coupled with Liu Chan's original martial arts moves, are not something that ordinary people can stop.
This is also the reason why Liu Chan has been training with the army but does not feel tired. His body is actually used to it. To be honest, the strength of Zhao Gou's body is much higher than that of many elite soldiers in the Han family army. This
That's why Hu Yantong was kicked away by Liu Chan due to his carelessness.
The most shocked person at this time was Hu Yantong. He was lying on the ground and didn't want to get up. The emperor was better at fighting than him. What should he do? He was waiting online. It was quite urgent.
Liu Chan was a little dissatisfied. How could he lead an army to fight if he was so weak? So he waved to Hu Yantong: "Come on, don't crawl on the ground and pretend to be cowardly. Go ahead and let me see what your abilities are."
Hu Yantong was so excited by Liu Chan's words that he jumped up from the ground like a carp. Instead of being careless, he attacked Liu Chan carefully. The two sides fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, regardless of the outcome.
Liu Chan uses the swordsmanship given to him by his father. Although he is not very good, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. Unfortunately, Hu Yantong also came from fighting on the battlefield. If it is to kill enemies, Liu Chan will naturally not be able to compare with him. But this is training, Hu Yantong
It is impossible for Tong to use killing techniques, so the two of them have always been indifferent to the outcome.
The two sides fought for another round. Liu Chan and Hu Yantong moved away from each other. At this moment, Liu Chan suddenly split the black iron sword into two and rushed towards Hu Yantong. The two swords were used interchangeably.
When did Gu Yingfa and Hu Yantong, who was directly taught by Liu Bei, encounter this kind of fighting style, he was at a disadvantage for a moment. He was about to lose, but Liu Chan suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "No more fighting, no more"
After fighting, General Hu Yan is indeed good. It seems that the Han family army does have strong generals. I was wrong."
Hu Yantong knew that Liu Chan was trying to give him face, so he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."
"Hey, I told you what General Hu Yantong is doing. This is just a competition." Liu Chan helped Hu Yantong, who was kneeling, and said with a smile.
"The general is blind and thinks that your majesty's rich body cannot endure the hardships of this army. Who knows that the general is blind, regretful, and shameless. Please let your majesty deal with it. The general will never complain." Hu Yantong said again.
He knelt down and said.
"Hahaha." Liu Chan helped Hu Yantong up and said with a smile: "Get up, get up quickly, General Hu Yan. You may not know that I joined the army earlier than you."
"Ah?" Hu Yantong was stunned.
Han Shizhong on the side explained: "Yes, your Majesty has been fighting with the army for a long time since Bianliang was conquered. Speaking of which, he really joined the army a few years earlier than you."
"Okay, the training is almost delayed. It's time for the soldiers to stand in line."
In fact, even if Liu Chan had not established his authority this time, the soldiers of the Han family army would not have complained too much. Because Liu Chan was always with the soldiers whether they were marching or training. An emperor could eat and live with the soldiers.
What kind of complaints would the soldiers have? But what Liu Chan wanted to do was to make the soldiers obey him, not to have no complaints.
Hu Yantong thought Liu Chan was just yelling at the soldiers at first, but he didn't expect that Liu Chan was really training with the soldiers, so he became silent immediately. But Han Shizhong next to him saw something, so he asked Liu Chan: "Your Majesty,
Your training method seems a bit strange?"
"Oh, what's weird? I think the basic quality of these soldiers is not up to standard, so that's why they are trained like this."
"Well, they seem to be running in a military formation, but it's even weirder."
Liu Chan stared at the direction in which the soldiers were running and reacted: "Oh, it turns out to be the Eight Formation Diagram."
The Eight Formation Diagram was created by Zhuge Liang, so he also taught it to Liu Chan. Although Liu Chan was indeed stupid at the time, he at least memorized everything. Coupled with the original's more than ten years of combat experience, he was also able to use it.
A part of the Eight Formation Diagram has been released.
"Eight Formations!" Han Shizhong and Hu Yantong both exclaimed and looked at Liu Chan in disbelief.
"What's wrong with the Eight Formation Diagram? Didn't this military formation exist during the Three Kingdoms period? Don't you know?"
Han Shizhong looked at Liu Chan, who looked silly and sweet, and sorted out his dizzy mind: "Your Majesty, the Eight Formations Diagram has been lost a long time ago. Where did you learn it?"
"Lost?" Liu Chan exclaimed, such an important thing was lost.
