The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 167 Formation

Youzhou, the campus in the east of the city.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yang beat the drum and gathered the generals. He stood on the stage in the school field and shouted: "Comrades, I am the captain of our regiment. My name is Zhang Yang. Now we are just stirring the spoon in the same pot." My brothers, if I take one bite, you will take one bite."

With a sound of "wow, wah, wah," Zhang Yang's words aroused excitement among the crowd.

After Zhang Yang finished the training at the school ground, he called over the two brigade commanders and prepared to train these soldiers according to his own plan.

He took out the "Yuanyang Formation", one of the few formations that he still remembered in his mind, and handed it to the two brigade commanders, and said: "This is the formation that I have meditated hard on. I have entrusted the blacksmiths in Youzhou City to build the weapons day and night. No, It will be delivered in three days."

The two of them stared at the formation as if they hadn't seen a beautiful woman in a long time, and didn't hear Zhang Yang's words for a while.

"Ah, sir. This formation is very exquisite." Wang Yang said.

"No need to flatter them, you two will let them run continuously for a month. They will run every day, at least fifty miles. I will provide them with three meals a day."

"Yes."

The "Yuanyang Formation" consists of 11 people in a team, with the captain at the front, and the next two people, one holding the long card and the other holding the shield card. The long hand holds a long shield to block the Japanese pirates' arrows and spears, while the can hand holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and a waist knife. The long hand and can hand mainly cover the advance of the rear team, and the can hand can not only cover but also engage in close combat with the enemy. The two of them are holding wolf bamboo in their hands. The wolf bamboo is made from moso bamboo grown in the south. It is old and solid, and the end of the bamboo is beveled into a sharp shape, leaving sharp branches around it. Each wolf bamboo is 3 meters long. On the left and right, the wolf swordsman uses the sharp blade at the front of the wolf sword to assassinate the enemy to cover the advancement of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind.

Then came four spearmen with spears in their hands, two on each side, taking care of the shield bearers and wolf bearers on the left and right in front respectively. Following up are two soldiers holding "boring palladium" to serve as security, support and other tasks. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short-handed soldier rushes forward with a short sword to kill the enemy. There is a clear division of labor among various weapons. As long as everyone is proficient in the operation of their own type, the key to effectively killing the enemy lies in overall cooperation and the execution of orders and prohibitions.

The "Yuanyang Formation" not only closely combines spears and shields, long and short, fully exerting the effectiveness of various weapons, but also the formation can be changed flexibly. According to the situation and combat needs, the column can be changed into a horizontal formation, a formation can be changed into two small formations on the left and right, or three small formations on the left, center and right. When it becomes two small formations, it is called the "Two Talents Formation", and the left and right shield hands are accompanied by the left and right wolf hands, spearmen and short soldiers respectively to protect its attack; when it becomes three small formations, it is called the "Three Talents Formation". , wolf spearmen, spearmen and short-armed men are in the middle. Shield bearers guarded the left and right sides. This changed formation is also called the "changing mandarin duck formation".

This formation used flexibility and maneuverability, which just suppressed the Japanese pirates' advantage. Qi Jiguang led the "Qi Family Army" and after practicing the "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, he achieved victory in every battle against the Japanese pirates.

Song Huairen walked in at this time and said, "Sir, I'm here."

Zhang Yang said: "You came just in time, sit down."

Song Huairen came in and sat upright. Zhang Yang saw how serious he was and smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, just relax."

"Yes, Master."

"Su Qing and the others are coming to Youzhou soon. You need to do the reception work and the logistics work at the school grounds." Zhang Yang said, "Tomorrow you have an agreement with a few meat sellers and vegetable sellers to provide three meals a day for five hundred people." We must ensure that there is meat to eat at noon and evening. Farmers can buy some pork meat and ask two chefs from Tianranju to teach the chefs here so that everyone can eat better."

"Yes, Master."

"You've been doing pretty well lately. If you continue to work hard, I'll keep an eye on you."

"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation."

……

Huzhou.

It had been more than three months since Di Renjie returned to the capital to report on his duties. On this day, Wu Zetian appointed Di Renjie as the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Province, and as an imperial envoy, he went to Jiangnan to visit officials and govern the people's situation. Li Yuanfang, the fourth-rank Yingyang Wei Zhonglang general, accompanied him on the tour.

It is the early spring season, the sky is clear and the earth is recovering; in the suburbs of Huzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, it is already an early spring scene, with new green trees and fragrant flowers. A few bees kept flying among the flowers.

An old beekeeper prepared a bowl of honey water, picked up the bowl, and smiled at an elder who looked like a teacher opposite him: "Come on, sir, let's have a try."

This person is none other than Di Renjie. He took the bowl, took a sip gently, swallowed the honey water several times, and then handed the bowl to Li Yuanfang beside him. Li Yuanfang took the bowl, took a big gulp, and drank half of the bowl.

Mr. Di smiled: "Yuanfang, you can't drink honey like this. What you are doing is drinking water."

Li Yuanfang smiled: "I don't know so much, I only know sweetness."

Judge Dee laughed happily. The beekeeper also smiled and asked, "Sir, isn't our honey pretty good?"

Judge Dee said with a smile: "All honey is six percent sweet, four percent fragrant, smooth and moist, which is the top grade. Seventy percent sweet, three thirds fragrant, and smooth and greasy, which is the middle grade. Sweet but not fragrant, greasy but not greasy. Those who are slippery are inferior. Old man, to tell you the truth, your honey is inferior at best." The old beekeeper raised his thumb and said, "Expert!"

Judge Dee smiled and waved his hand: "You're always over the top."

The old beekeeper sighed and said: "Bees cannot fly without a subtle fragrance, and without a strange fragrance, there is no good honey!"

Before they finished speaking, they heard a loud "boom", and the three of them were startled. They quickly turned around and saw that the swarm was like a large dark cloud, flying straight to the west.

Judge Dee couldn't help but be stunned. The old beekeeper was also very surprised and exclaimed: "What is going on?"

Judge Judge said: "It is very rare for bees to swarm like this."

The beekeeper said: "Yes, I have never encountered such a situation."

Judge Dee looked at the direction in which the bees were flying and asked, "Where is the west?"

The old beekeeper replied: "Yes, it's Liujiazhuang."

Judge Di said: "There must be a big flower garden in the village, so I attracted the bees."

The beekeeper shook his head: "Impossible. Liujiazhuang is more than ten miles away from here. No matter how big the flower garden is, the bees can't smell it. This is really strange!"

……

In Youzhou, Zhang Yang has been in office for three months, and the soldiers in the school have already undergone a transformation, and they can definitely be called a tiger and wolf army.

Song Huairen had already taken over as Xingtian and was responsible for the exchange of news between various places. At this time, he walked in and said, "Master, there is news from Huzhou."

Zhang Yang was practicing with a horse-stem, and Song Huairen continued: "The emperor has recently been overjoyed. He has appointed Di Renjie as the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Province. He has taken General Ying Yang and Wei Zhonglang to Huzhou to observe the sentiments of the people."

Zhang Yang then asked: "Any other news from Huzhou?"

Song Huairen said: "Liu Chali, the owner of Liujiazhuang, will get married soon."

Zhang Yang said: "Who is the marriage partner?"

Song Huairen said: "I heard that she is a brothel girl, but according to our investigation, this Yingyu is the sweetheart of Liu Chali's son Liu Chuanlin. I don't know why she has become his concubine now?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It's normal, this old immortal really has no shame."

Song Huairen asked: "Master, you met Mr. Liu Chuanlin last month. Should we give him a gift?"

Zhang Yang answered the question incorrectly: "Is Liu Chali turning 80 this year?"

Song Huairen flattered him and said, "The young master has a very good memory. Liu Chuanlin is Liu Chali's legitimate son from his second marriage when he was sixty years old."

"Send him a poem."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang began to write a poem on his desk and said, "To show respect, you go there in person with four personal guards."

He took out another letter and said, "You have to hand this to Mr. Liu Chuanlin in person."

"Yes, Master."
