Chapter 121 The Little Fat Dragon on the Battlefield
Zeng Ziyun was shocked by the strict military hierarchy of the Guards, but Wang Danxu and Li Xuan were not surprised.
Li Xuan was not surprised because he compared the Guards with the modern army in the video and even the modern army. In his understanding, the casualty rate of the modern army can reach 30 to 40 percent or even higher.
In countless movies and TV shows about World War I and World War II that he had seen, the troops were rushing forward one after another, charging under machine guns.
Even the modern army can move forward step by step in the face of the enemy's artillery and volleys, ignore the falling comrades beside them, continue to advance with the musket in hand, and listen to the officers' slogans and pull the trigger.
ejaculation.
It is said that Napoleon's army could still launch a charge even though the casualty rate was as high as 50%!
In addition to spiritual bonuses such as faith, such an army must also have extremely strict military discipline.
With the modern armies seen in movies and TV series in later generations as a comparison, Li Xuan naturally would not be too surprised by the performance of the Guards, and even sometimes felt dissatisfied.
As for Wang Danxu, he was simply brainwashed by Li Xuan!
Ever since Wang Danxu was sent by Li Xuan to train the Guards, Li Xuan only asked him to do two things, that is, to enforce strict military discipline and to have the Guards form neat and tight formations.
Therefore, in the past six months, the training of the Guards has been about two things: discipline and formation.
The formation training can also be said to be based on discipline. Therefore, the discipline training of the Guards is extremely strict from beginning to end, and is even the most important training.
In fact, even Li Xuan himself, who came up with such a set of training content, didn't know that the Guards Army, which he focused on discipline training, already had some foundation in the modern army in terms of battlefield discipline.
And Wang Danxu said every day that Li Xuan said how important battlefield discipline was, and Li Xuan often expressed dissatisfaction with the military discipline of the Guards. Therefore, under the influence of Li Xuan, and because there were no other armies of the same era for him to use as a reference,
Therefore, Wang Danxu himself does not feel at what level the military discipline of the Guards he has trained is.
Everyone's cognition is different, which leads them to have different views on the same thing.
In Zeng Ziyun's view, the military discipline of the Guards has become so strict that it can be compared with the powerful armies of the world. In Li Xuan's view, the Guards are still far from the modern army in his mind, and in Wang Danxu's view
, the Guards he trained has not yet met Li Xuan's requirements.
As for Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others, they thought that what the Guards were doing was just nonsense, and they didn't think it was of any use.
Is it enough to fight a war by forming pairs and training the soldiers like puppets on strings?
Impossible, fighting requires strong generals like Chen Tufu. A single charge can scare the enemy half to death. Dozens of armored warriors charge, enough to tear apart the defense lines of hundreds of enemy troops!
Many of them have different views on the Guards, but this does not affect the fact that the Guards are about to usher in their first official battle!
After Li Xuan's order was issued, hundreds of people from the Tang Dynasty King's Division quickly took action.
Needless to say, the Guards as the vanguard, as soon as the order was given, they were already marching forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of each team.
And those standing armies with a large number of veterans also knew that what they had to face was only a Ming army with only a few dozen people, not the main force of the Ming army with thousands of people.
These old oil fields typically bully the weak and fear the strong. When the situation is unfavorable, they run faster than anyone else, but when the wind is favorable, they are more ruthless than anyone else!
So there was no need to boost morale. Every one of these old fritters had green eyes, and they rushed out screaming with the team members above.
If we arrive too late, all the credit will be taken away by those boys from the Guards!
The distance between the two sides was not too far, only a few miles away. Even if a large force was operating, the vanguard of the Guards arrived successfully after half an hour and stopped more than 60 Ming troops in front.
Baihu, the strong man leading the Ming army, saw a group of half-grown men in messy clothes suddenly appeared in front of him and others. He was a little puzzled at first, but he soon laughed wildly!
"These are the pseudo-Tang bandits? They are all little brats with no hair at all!" He looked disdainful.
"That's right, look at their military flag. Is that a dragon? I think it's a fat dragon!" A small flag next to him also laughed: "Oh, I am laughing so hard. Are all those traitors who pretend to be Tang Dynasty dead?
It’s all gone, so you took out these little brats to make up the numbers?”
While he was laughing and cursing, he pointed at the fat dragon-wielding sword flag erected high and fluttering in the wind by the Guards opposite.
His voice was so loud that several forwards of the Guards on the opposite side heard his ridicule, and all of them showed angry expressions.
Damn it, you dare to laugh at our red dragon holding sword flag. This is the military flag given by the emperor. Although the red dragon embroidered on it is a bit chubby and does not look powerful, this chubby red dragon is so cute!
And these hateful Ming troops in front of us dare to laugh at our lovely red dragon. This is simply intolerable!
However, although the several people in front had angry expressions on their faces, they did not say a word or make any other unnecessary movements.
The Guards have strict military discipline, and any action taken by a soldier without permission from the superior officer is a violation of the order, which is a serious crime.
The military regulations of the Guards are full of murderous intent, and more than half of the punishments in the more than twenty military regulations are death sentences.
Among them, disobeying orders in wartime is the most serious. Without any trial, you can be killed on the spot.
Therefore, in the face of the roar of laughter from the Ming army, the Guards did not react at all. Even officers such as Wang Danxu and Duizheng did not react at all, especially those officers with excellent psychological quality who all had uniform expressions on their faces.
They didn't change their attitude, they just rigidly followed the training regulations and started to form the team.
The place where they encountered the battle was selected by Datang and others in advance. Although the place was not large, it was enough to accommodate hundreds of people fighting, and it was relatively flat, suitable for the Guards to take advantage of the formation.
Following the orders given by the officers of each team, the Guards, who were originally marching in three vertical columns, quickly started to trot. In just a few minutes, they formed a horizontal column with three columns in front and back!
In the middle is a spearman holding a spear, and on the two wings are musketeers and sword and shield soldiers. Wang Danxu also got on his horse at this time, using the height of sight gained after riding a horse to command!
Seeing the weird formations formed by the half-grown men opposite, the strong man Baihu finally stopped laughing wildly. Although he had no knowledge, he could still tell that these half-grown men seemed a little weird.
And there seemed to be more people than just myself!
At this time, he also remembered that when he first set out, Mr. Wu told him that if he found the location of Huangzhu Mountain or encountered a large group of puppet Tang rebels, he should not waste the battle.
The implication is to let them run away if they are in danger!
But now, it seemed that there was just a little bit of danger, so he ordered without hesitation: "Let's go!"
However, just as he was about to leave, he noticed that figures also appeared on the other three sides one after another. It didn't take long before he saw a large number of people holding swords and spears appearing around him.
"Damn it!" At this time, the strong man Baihu didn't know that they had gotten into their ambush and were completely surrounded!
"Boss, what should we do?" Being surrounded naturally made everyone feel extremely uneasy. A small flag asked this question almost tremblingly.
Immediately someone said: "How about we surrender?"
As soon as he heard this, the strong man Baihu drew his knife and chopped off the head of the soldier next to him who said he wanted to surrender with a simple and neat stroke. Then he said with a ferocious expression: "Fuck you, these people"
We are just bandits and refugees, so what if we are surrounded! Anyone who disrupts the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"
After he yelled again, he raised the long knife that was still bloody in his hand high: "Array!"
The bloody sword in the hands of the strong man Baihu was still held high, and his face stained with blood was full of ferocity:
"They think it's enough to surround us? But we are not those weak-footed guardsmen. We are paid recruits. We can fight ten guardsmen alone. Now these bandits and refugees are so bold.
If they dare to surround us, they are seeking death!"
He looked back at this time and saw that more than 60 people behind him had formed an array. Then he looked around. There were a lot of bandits in the southeast, northwest, and other three directions, and he also saw more than 20 bandits.
The armored sword and shield bearers are advancing slowly.
Although he spoke arrogantly just now, he also knows military common sense. Although there are more than 60 people with swords, shields, spearmen, archers and so on, there are only three or four people wearing armor. This is different from the 20 people opposite.
Multiple armored swordsmen and shieldmen are incomparable
After all, although there were not many armored swordsmen and shieldmen on the opposite side, they had a lot of archers and spearmen. He looked around and basically saw a full sixty or seventy archers arrayed, ready to bend.
There's a bow and an arrow.
If we break through in these three directions, we have little hope!
Finally, he focused his attention on the group of half-grown men in front of him who were slowly walking forward. The number of these half-grown men was not large, and he did not see anyone wearing armor, nor did he see a large number of them.
There were only a few archers with strange-looking muskets.
The situation was urgent, and any extra minute or second would be a great danger. If he continued to wait, let alone choosing a direction to break out, he would probably be surrounded by people from all directions, so he did not hesitate for too long, and it would be soon.
The decision was made!
I saw him swinging his knife in the direction of the Guards, and then shouted: "Kill, anyone who doesn't want to die, follow me and kill him!"
The soldiers under his command are worthy of being paid recruits. They are not as weak as the serf-like military household soldiers. After hearing the order of the strong men to charge, each one of them shouted various slogans and came to the court.
The Guards rushed forward!
Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others secretly said something bad!
Even Li Xuan, who was watching the battle from behind, showed a hint of worry, and Liu Bagou beside him held his breath involuntarily.
Can these half-grown men of the Guards be able to withstand the counterattack of these Ming troops?
:Thank you brothers for your support. Although the number of subscriptions is still not ideal, I still saw many brothers who used to watch pirated copies to support Shangou Emperor. I am extremely grateful for this rainy day.
The road to the attack of the Shangou Emperor is like a battle between two armies. It cannot be won by a few strong generals like Chen Tufu. The whole army must work together and act together. No one turns around and runs away. No one is afraid of fighting. They shout and charge together.
, can we fight our way out! And among these charging people, I hope you are among them!
Gentlemen, do you dare to join the battle with Butcher Chen?
