Chapter 18 He is more suitable to be the leader of the rebel army than my brother

...

"Act like the wind, discipline comes first!"

"Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime!"

"Frozen to death will not break the house, starved to death will not be plundered!"

"When the tiger prospers my glory, when the tiger declines I am ashamed!"

"For the sake of sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky!"

"..."

Before entering the Huben Army's camp, Fang Baihua felt the difference between the Huben Army and other rebels.

——The blood-red black tiger-head battle flag, the extremely inspiring slogans, the neat and orderly barracks, unlike other rebels, messy everywhere, smelly everywhere, there are volunteers like groups of three or five groups of refugees everywhere, They hunched together, either talking nonsense, or eating together and waiting to die.

Then I heard the uniform and imposing drill sound inside.

Fang Baihua felt that this was what a military camp should look like.

Fang Baihua couldn't help looking forward to seeing Li Cun who had left a deep impression on her.

Because of the restlessness in her heart, Fang Baihua led the people directly to the Huben army's barracks, and was about to enter it directly.

The reason why Fang Baihua is like this is that first of all, she goes directly to any barracks she goes to. Similarly, other leaders of the rebel army enter her barracks almost immediately; They knew each other, and Su Dong was her neighbor. She felt that these people would definitely not stop her from going in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Baihua's feet stepped into the security range of the guards, Su Dong immediately gave Fang Baihua a military salute and said, "This is a military center of our Huben Army. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. I hope Miss Fang will forgive me."

A fat and big woman behind Fang Baihua pointed at Su Dong with a saber in her hand, and shouted loudly: "My little lady doesn't need to report when she goes to Fang's tent, but you can't go here, and said, are you deliberately belittling me?" Humiliate my little lady?!"

Su Dong hurriedly said to Fang Baihua: "We have absolutely no intention of doing this, it's actually my Huben Army's military regulations. If you don't get permission, you will let Miss Fang in. Five or six of us will all suffer the thirty army sticks. I also hope Miss Fang will not embarrass me."

Fang Baihua felt very novel, so she deliberately asked Su Dong: "I am no exception?"

Su Dong said seriously: "Master Fang's coming here is no exception."

When Tu Shi heard the words, he was furious, and threatened: "Then I'm going to break into your dragon's lake and tiger's den today, and see what you can do to me!"

Seeing this, the six people from Su Dong suddenly raised the spears in their hands in unison, and Sansan stood together to form a three-talented formation, and at the same time, the two three-talented formations formed horns with each other. If they dare to break into the Huben army's barracks, they will definitely fight to the death with Fang Baihua and his party who outnumber them."

This surprised Tu Shi who was about to break in—she never expected that these guards were so tough.

Tu Shi quickly stopped and stood on guard with his sword!

Fang Baihua felt even more novel, but instead of probing further, she took a step back and said, "For the sake of your due diligence, I won't make things difficult for you, so go and report to General Huben as soon as possible, and say that I want to find him."

After Su Dong heard the words, he put down his spear and ran in to report to Li Cun.

After Su Dong left, Tu Shi muttered in a low voice: "This General Huben is different, and his soldiers are also different."

He does not mean that.

Unlike Fang La and Fang Fei, who have never paid attention to Li Cun, Fang Baihua has been paying attention to Li Cun's activities.

This is not only because Fang Baihua has many gossips under his command. They know about the ambiguous relationship between Li Cun and Fang Baihua, and they often talk about Li Cun in front of Fang Baihua. related matters.

When Fang Baihua learned that Li Cun's place developed faster than hers, for some reason, Fang Baihua was very happy.

The reason why Fang Baihua agreed to drag her people to Li Cun to station here was not only because Fang Baihua was fed up with the harassment of her female soldiers by Fang La's own army, but also because she could be neighbors with Li Cun day and night when she came here. see you.

However, these are all small thoughts of the daughter's family. If Fang Baihua is killed, Fang Baihua will not tell outsiders.

For some reason, while waiting for Li Cun to come out, Fang Baihua felt that it passed very slowly.

Just when Fang Baihua was getting impatient, Li Cun finally walked out of the barracks.

Unlike the other generals of the rebel army who had put on exquisite costumes, Li Cun was still dressed as when Fang Baihua first saw him.

Wearing a soap towel, cloth shirt, blue belt around the waist, and hemp shoes on the feet, very ordinary attire.

But Fang Baihua just felt that this kind of Li Cun looked better than those rebel leaders who were dressed more and more gorgeously.

"Last night, the Lantern Festival reported, and this morning there was a lot of magpie noise. I don't think it's the little lady who came to look for me. I'm so lucky." Li Cun walked towards Fang Baihua with a smile on his face.

"You must be glib, you must often say these things to young ladies from other families." Fang Baihua thought.

On the other hand, Bai Hua said with a stern face: "I have met General Huben, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Hey, it's not urgent, I'll show the little lady a tour of my Huben Army first."

After speaking, Li Cun enthusiastically led Fang Baihua to the barracks.

Judging from this posture, it is in this age when men and women are inseparable. Otherwise, Li Cun must have grabbed Fang Baihua's hand and dragged him directly into the barracks.

Seeing Li Cun's enthusiasm, Fang Baihua's expression improved a bit, and then he followed Li Cun into the barracks coyly.

At the same time, Zhang Shi, Fang Wuji and others who came out with Li Cun also warmly greeted the generals and relatives brought by Fang Baihua to enter the barracks.

After entering the barracks, Fang Baihua and the others immediately felt the difference between the soldiers of the Huben Army.

How should I put it, the members of the Huben Army, whether they are soldiers or family members, are optimistic and positive, not the dull and numb like in other rebels.

The soldiers being trained by the Huben Army are roughly divided into four parts.

The first part is also the part with the largest number of people (about 500 people). They raised their chests, raised their heads, put their hands on their thighs, and stood upright under the sun, watching the other three soldiers of the Huben Army training there.

Fang Baihua reckoned that these should be new recruits who had just joined the Huben Army.

The second part is obviously the horse army. They only have about 100 people, and they are training with six horses under the leadership of Niu Meng.

Many of these people have horse riding skills, but on the whole, most of them are still at the primary stage where they will not fall off their horses. Only a dozen or so people including Niu Meng are more skilled in riding.

In the third part, there are about 300 people, and they all hold long guns in their hands.

What surprised Fang Baihua was that among these spearmen, only the first row held spears that were one and a half feet long, while the last few rows were all armed with spears that were two feet long.

"Is such a long gun convenient for combat?"

Moreover, Fang Baihua also noticed that these pikemen were closely arranged in a square formation, and they only practiced one movement, which was to stab forward in a uniform manner according to the command of the officer.

This action can't be more simple, but according to Fang Baihua, there is only one requirement, that is, after hearing the password, use the strength of breastfeeding, step forward, use the strength of the waist with both arms, Just thrust forward with all your might.

If there is anything else these pikemen need to pay attention to, it is to cooperate with this action and walk side by side-every step of them must step on the command issued by the officer who issued the order to ensure that the formation will not be disordered.

As for the fourth part, it is more strange.

There were only more than 100 of them, but they were divided into ten groups, and each group formed a strange formation.

The formation is a group of twelve or three people. The first person wears paper armor and holds a spear, a crossbow on his back, and a knife or handaxe on his waist. The next two people hold a long shield and a rattan shield. He only held a long shield, a rattan shield with a light rattan shield, a javelin and a waist knife, and two more three-meter-long moso bamboo poles, followed by four spearmen with long spears, two on each side, followed by In came two soldiers armed with palladium, and finally one or two crossbowmen.

This strange formation not only closely combines the spear and the shield, the long and the short, and gives full play to the effectiveness of various weapons, but also the formation changes flexibly.

In just a short while, Fang Baihua saw that this formation could be changed from a column to a horizontal formation, or into two small formations on the left and right, or into three small formations on the left, middle and right according to the situation and combat needs.

Seeing that Fang Baihua was interested in the mandarin duck formation, Li Cun explained to Fang Baihua: "When this formation becomes two small formations, it is called the "Two Talents Formation". , to guard its attack; when it becomes three small formations, it is called the "three talented formations". In the formation, they only use the cover of this formation to achieve long-range strikes..."

Fang Baihua still couldn't tell how powerful the Tiger's army's strange long spear formation and this even stranger mandarin duck formation were, but she was very jealous of what the Huben army's officers and soldiers were ordered to do.

In fact, what bothers Fang Baihua the most now is how to get his subordinates to listen to him. You can't rely on beatings for everything, right?Can soldiers trained in this way really be able to fight after they go to the battlefield?

"Go back and ask him for advice." Fang Baihua looked at Li Cunxin and said.

After watching the drill of the soldiers of the Huben Army, Li Cun took the initiative to take Fang Baihua and his party to the dormitory of the remaining troops.

Everything in the dormitory is neatly arranged—the quilts are neatly folded, and the uniform-sized water cylinders made of bamboo are also neatly arranged, which makes people feel very comfortable at first glance.

Fang Baihua watched while Li Cun explained to Fang Baihua: "This is what I asked for, and the military camp should look like a military camp..."

When passing by the temporary toilets and bathing areas that Li Cun specially asked the subordinates of the Huben Army to build, Fang Baihua, who was careful, noticed that the toilets and bathing areas of the Huben Army were divided into men's left and women's right, and a very large gap was opened. In addition, bamboo is used to draw stream water directly into toilets and bathrooms, so that people in the barracks can maintain hygiene.

"It's great, it's just right for our army!"

Fang Baihua felt that Li Cun's handling was very good, and she wanted to build her barracks according to Li Cun's way.

Arriving at the bulletin board, Fang Baihua took the initiative to stop.

——Fang Baihua was very interested in the financial announcement and training reward and punishment rules of the Huben Army posted on the bulletin board.

Fang Baihua noticed that the punishments above were rarely targeted at individuals, and almost all of them were punished for their mistakes. Some punishments even involved the superiors and the captains, and the same was true for rewards.

After Fang Baihua discovered this, she asked why?
Li Cun said that the cultural quality of the soldiers of the Huben Army is poor, and it is better to cultivate them in training and life, so that they always remember that they are members of a group, and their words and deeds will affect the entire group; on the contrary, the members of the group Members will also notice the behavior of others, which is conducive to cultivating the collective spirit of soldiers helping each other and supporting each other.

Fang Baihua felt that what Li Cun said was very reasonable, and felt that Li Cun was very capable.

"Everything is done in an orderly manner, and there is great wisdom everywhere."

Fang Baihua couldn't help but think: "Perhaps... he is more suitable to be the leader of the rebel army than my brother."

As soon as this thought came out, Fang Baihua herself was startled by the thought that popped up in her head...
