6.19 Internal strife, bandit suppression training

"Lao Niu, how about changing our family's evil? From now on, you will be my big brother!" Liu Fang said with a smile on her face, and even poured a cup of tea, which was flattering no matter how you looked at it.

More than a dozen other people, old and young, all looked at them with strange expressions, but no one spoke, because what the two of them were discussing was actually the issue of the leadership of the Hachiko camp.

For a long time, the four kings and eight princes have been known as one, and the leaders have always been Rongning and Ningfu. However, in the incident of Prince Yizhong's remonstrance, Jia's house fell suddenly, especially after Jia Amnesty's death, and now there is no possibility of a leader.

Not to mention the four kings, there has always been a struggle within the Eight Dukes. Niu Jizong is currently the No. 1 position. The Governor of the Five Armies, the Commander of the Chinese Army, is nominally a second rank. Except for some wartime titles, this is the highest position in the military.

This is because the Dashun Dynasty inherited the Ming system for official positions, and the setting was based on "low position and weight". The six ministers with the highest real positions were also the third rank, and only the ministers of the Ministry of Rites were from the second rank, and there were only honorary titles. .

For example, the most commonly referred to as "Ge Lao" refers to the second-rank cabinet scholar, which expresses his status with the emperor, but has no real power in name. .

All first-rank titles are empty positions, basically to add treatment or reputation to senior officials, such as Prince Taifu, Prince Taishi, Hussar General, etc., which have long since lost any meaning.

Liu Fang is the No.1 faction faction, especially in the event of Prince Yizhong's remonstrance, if it weren't for the three major battalions of the Beijing camp to have his Shenji battalion act as the "Shenji battalion of Dinghai", the result would have been even more tragic. lost his favor.

Therefore, the two have never been very confrontational. For example, Hou Xiaokang called Niu Jizong "big brother" because he recognized Niu Jizong's status; Liu Fang called "Old Niu", which is an equivalent address.

Now Liu Fang has chosen to give in for Wei Xu's subordinates, who are only a thousand soldiers. It sounds completely unreliable, but in fact it is all for the purpose of cultivating heirs.

"You have a good idea. He is an elite veteran who has experienced battles from thousands of households. Which of your battalions can gather so many?" Niu Jizong rejected Liu Fang's opinion without hesitation.

This is because Wei Xu has really been famous for more than two months. As a firefighter who has been a soldier, Wei Xu knows one thing very well, that is, if the army has not experienced war, it is difficult to say whether it is true or not. elite.

Even if it is just a large-scale exercise, it is much better than dry training. The problem is that the exercise in the cold weapon era is actually similar to "acting". Bandit training.

Jinling was originally the center of the south of the Yangtze River, a well-known and prosperous place in the world. The problem is that it was impossible to achieve a well-off life for the whole people in the feudal era. No matter where there are local tyrants and evil gentry, there are naturally some people who cannot survive.

Although Jiangnan is much better, there are also many bandits of different levels and types on many hilltops. These people may have been ordinary people who could not survive, but as long as they work for a few years, there will be no one who deserves to die if they are still alive.

The time is pushed forward two months, at the beginning of February of the 12th year of Yongzheng, there is an unnamed mountain in Jiangnan Province.

"Listen well, we are also an army now, and you know the level of training. This time, I specially asked for the command from Commander-in-Chief, and it is also the first battle of my Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households.

Don't pat me on the chest and head. I know how you behave on weekdays, but when it comes to the battlefield, no one knows how it will be. Today is the time for you to show it off. "Wei Xu sternly roared in front of the formation.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's just a bandit village with a total population of less than [-]. Today, the brothers will definitely run it beautifully!" Wang Yi, a hundred infantrymen, patted his chest and shouted, before being kicked to the ground by Wei Xu.

"What I said just now, did you hear the shit on your ass? Don't slap me on the chest. Let's talk about it after you have something to do. Let's go now. I'm going to have a barbecue on the mountain at noon. Is there a problem?" Wei Xu shouted again.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The neat roar reassured Wei Xu a lot—he was really hopeless.

"Follow me!" Wang Yi yelled and pulled out the saber from his waist, leading his hundred households. Although most of the more than 100 people were nervous, they still lined up and pushed according to the daily training.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh—" The bandits on the mountain shot a lot of arrows sparsely, causing the entire infantry phalanx to be a little confused, but they quickly recovered under the roaring and scolding of their respective general flags and small flags, but the speed dropped sharply.

"Strong crossbowmen, spread out with small flags, use the mountains to suppress enemy archers, and protect the infantry brothers!" Liu Qiang, a hundred households of crossbowmen, immediately arranged his men to cover, and soon screams came from the mountain from time to time .

"Accelerate, hurry up!" Wang Yi immediately took the opportunity to advance. With the cover, the morale of the infantry increased significantly, and the advancement speed also accelerated a lot. "Ah - I've been hit by an arrow!" Suddenly there was a scream, and a pike infantryman in the first row lay on the ground, even knocking down an infantryman behind him.

"Get up, you fucking look for yourself, you haven't even shot through the first layer of armor, the arrows of those bandits are all made of iron, look that they have been deformed!" The small flag next to him hit the infantry's thigh with a single shot, Make him scream again.

After the chaos, the infantry phalanx resumed its formation and continued to advance. The incident just now reassured the leading soldiers a lot, and they trusted their armor even more.

Soon, there were less than ten steps between the two sides. The bandit archers stopped shooting, but the crossbowmen were still pouring arrows. The bandit leader knew that he could not wait any longer, howling and leading more than 300 bandits rushed down.

"Beep——" The sharp copper whistle shook the spirits of all the guards. After half a year of rigorous training, they immediately knew that this was an order to prepare for battle, and everyone clenched their spears reflexively.

"Kill!" Wang Yi's roar was inconspicuous in the chaotic shouts of the bandits, even most of the infantry formation couldn't hear it, but the ten people in the front row heard it.

"Kill—" The spears that were two feet long stabbed out neatly, causing the bandits who had rushed over to scream again and again. In the almost crowded formation, no one would stab empty. pierce.

The place chosen for this bandit village is very level. There is only a mountain road with a width of less than ten meters to go up the mountain. There are slopes on both sides. Fortunately, it is not steep, so that the crossbowmen can hardly follow the infantry to cover.

"Beep beep——" two consecutive copper whistles sounded, and the spearmen in the second row immediately thrust out their spears from the gap in the front row, piercing the bandits behind them into blood gourds.

At the same time, some of the bandit's weapons either hacked or stabbed, and they all fell on the guards in the first row, but their strength was obviously not enough to break through the compound principle armor.

There was also confusion during this process. Some people were accidentally pushed down the mountain road and rolled down the slope along the slope. Some were petrified and jumped down the slope by themselves, but most of them did not forget their usual training and knew to continue to assassinate.

After a few minutes of chaos, the bandits with nearly a hundred casualties were completely defeated, shouting and retreating back to the bandit village, but the gate of the village was quickly rushed by the guards and continued to endure the killing.

The scuffle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the screams of all kinds of fighting finally stopped. Wei Xu led the officers of other units that did not participate in the battle into the already captured cottage.

"How is it?" Seeing Wang Yi covered in blood, Wei Xu patted him on the shoulder and asked in satisfaction.

"Six brothers died, and the bandits killed have not been counted yet, but the most important thing is—" Wang Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, and shouted at the five kneeling and trembling people beside him, "There are still so many deserters !"

"My lord, I fell down the slope!" argued a deserter.

"Second Wu, let me go to your MD!" A guard soldier with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder suddenly yelled, "You even threw away the fucking weapon, if you didn't run away like a dog, how could I have been stabbed! "

"Clean up the battlefield. No matter you are killed or captured, you will be beheaded as a reward. These deserters will be escorted back first. Tomorrow, the camp will be beheaded in order to uphold military law!" Wei Xu said coldly!

"Master, this is a bandit suppression campaign with hundreds of people. We dispatched only 200 people, but there are too many problems!" Saeko Busujima said with a wry smile in military armor.

"Yeah, the training is pretty good on weekdays, but it's really a mess. The neat and alternating formations on the school field suddenly turned into a group of headless flies, and a dozen unlucky guys were knocked down by the end of the gun barrel in the front row.

On weekdays, I saw good level crossbowmen. This time they fired more than 1000 arrows, but the total number of bandits shot to death was less than [-]. An average of [-] shots killed a person. The distance between the two sides was less than [-] steps. .

Among the 110 infantry soldiers who participated in the battle, apart from the deserters and those who died in battle, nearly thirty of them peed their pants in fright, and one even went crazy with fright, this is simply—” Wei Xu shook his head speechlessly.

"Take your time!" Saeko Busujima also smiled wryly, "Master, according to our information, there are still seven bandit villages that can be attacked. It is a training for everyone in rotation. I hope it will be better in the future!"

"I hope so!" Wei Xu had no choice but to do so.
