A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 13
After a night's rest, Li Gui once again called everyone together for training early the next morning.

This time everyone came much faster, but they were still very scattered. When they stopped there sparsely, they looked like a straggler.

Fortunately, they don't need to be able to fight in real battles. They just need to be stronger than the bandits on the opposite side and be able to fight smoothly.

Li Gui selected some strong men to stay for training, while the remaining weak and disabled men were turned into auxiliary soldiers, responsible for logistics, chores and the like.

"There are nearly a hundred iron spear heads here. Li Laoqi, take some people to select some straight tree trunks, cut off the branches, peel and dry them, brush them with tung oil, and put the iron spear heads on them."

"Um...brother, where can we find tung oil in our village? That stuff is so expensive!"

Only then did Li Gui realize that he made a habitual mistake again. In this era, many things are rare and cannot be easily obtained by ordinary people.

"...Forget it, let's go to the oiling step. After drying, just install the iron tip."

After Li Laoqi left with the auxiliary soldiers, Li Gui took out his paper armor, kept one for himself, and then put the rest in front of everyone and said:
"Here are ten pairs of paper armors. If you want them, just come forward."

This paper armor may not look like it is made of paper, but it is made of many layers of thick paper that are pressed and nailed together. It is very thick and has a defensive power that is not inferior to that of iron armor. If it gets wet in the rain, it will be even more difficult to damage with a sword.

However, this paper armor has never been durable. If it is not properly stored and accidentally stained with water, even if it is not used, it will basically become moldy and useless after a few years.

But for these bandits, this thing is a life-saving barrier. With the armor on them, when they rush to kill, unless they are very unlucky, their lives are probably safe.

A group of people rushed forward in confusion, but they heard Li Gui continue:
"A certain family is the most fair and will never be partial!"

"A battle of swords to win the armor, the one with the strongest courage will win it!"

As soon as they heard about the contest, half of the people who came up immediately retreated.

"Those wearing armor must be a personal soldier of someone. They should rush forward with someone to kill them, and those who retreat will be killed!"

After hearing this, half of the remaining people were reduced to half.

Li Gui looked at the few dozen people left at the scene and knew that these were the "real bandits" in the village.

Although they had been asked to hand over certificates of surrender before, these were the only ones who truly regarded themselves as thieves and were not afraid of killing.

The rest of them are basically messing around in the mountains, fishing for whatever is good for them, and running away when in danger. They want to drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and live a happy life, but they are unwilling to take risks. .

These people are quite clever, but they have neither ambition nor courage, and even their vision is poor.

"Very good, you fight in pairs. After the winner rests for a quarter of an hour, they fight again in pairs. The ten people who win in the end will be the soldiers of a certain person, and the champion will be the captain of the soldiers."

A group of people moved their legs and feet, and then they hit one spot.

Li Gui looked at him for a few times, but he couldn't stand it. None of them had practiced, and they basically relied on brute force.

After fighting for a while, the winner was decided.

The winner triumphantly took the paper armor from Li Gui and wore it on his body. The loser kept swearing and swearing, and his eyes turned red with jealousy.

"The victory has been decided. From today on, the ten of you are the personal soldiers of a certain person. If a certain family has a mouthful of meat, it is indispensable for you to drink a mouthful of soup."

"As for you defeated generals, you are commendable for your courage. You can each lead four people to serve as captains. In the future, you will annex other strongholds. You will be the guards and generals."

According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, there were five men in a corps, and the commander was the corps leader; the fifth corps was one guard (25 people), and the commander was the guard; the second guard was a team (50 people), and the commander was the team general; The team is one unit/du (100 people), and the commander is the general/dutou; the fifth unit is one battalion (500 people), and the commander is the chief and deputy general; the fifth battalion is one army (2500 people), and the commander is the chief and deputy Control, chief and deputy commanders; the tenth army is one wing (25000 people), and the commander is the commander of the capital of Xiang, etc.; the two wings are one army (50000 people), and the commander is the commander of the military capital, Yuhou of the military capital, and control of the capital, etc.

As a former member of Leek, Li Gui was also very good at drawing big cakes, and he immediately made these rough guys smile.

Li Gui called the champion over again and asked, "Who is your name? Why did you fall into the grass?"

The man respectfully replied: "Back to the leader of Dazhai, the villain Huang Silang is originally a farmer from Quanzhuang Township. Because he offended Huang Daguan in the township, he was selected by the government to work as a laborer. He did not want to go and endure hardship, so he went into exile. "Li Gui nodded, "Since you have won the championship, these nine people will be handed over to your command, and you will also be given a top position in the village. From now on, you will be the leader of the second village, and the others will follow."

That guy Li Laoqi is not good at using force and has no courage as a person. He really can't suppress others.

Huang Silang was overjoyed and immediately prostrated himself and thanked him profusely.

Li Gui waved his hand and let the soldiers select their own men. After everyone was alive, he began to lecture.

"From now on, there should be orders in the stronghold. When you hear the drums, go forward, call the gold and withdraw the troops. You must follow the orders and prohibitions, otherwise there will be no dinner!"

"All the pikemen participating in the training should have meat for every meal, and the ten with the worst performance can only eat vegetarian food!"

The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. If you want your horses to run, you must feed them well.

Li Gui made two plunders and got a lot of goods, which was enough to last the village for several months. When the soldiers and horses were trained, there would naturally be no shortage of silver.

"prick!"

"receive!"

Li Gui sat in the square and watched more than a hundred spearmen there, stabbing and withdrawing repeatedly in response to orders.

The spear shaft is already ready, it just needs some time to dry, so it can be used for training.

Li Gui specially selected some pikemen to train here, thinking that if someone died, he would serve as a substitute.

It's not that no one has complained about this practice, but those people are already cold now, and the remaining people don't want to be buried underground with them, so they have to practice here honestly.

Although it is very tempting to eat meat at every meal, they are all cooks. Who is not a lazy cook?

Li Gui's harsh training method also made many people dissatisfied. They did not dare to resist openly, but they voted with their feet. That night, several bandits sneaked in while no one was around. Go down the mountain.

This kind of stuff is something Li Gui doesn't need, so he will leave as soon as he leaves. But if they escape to other cottages, the news will be leaked and the cottages will be on guard. This would not be a good thing.

Li Gui captured a few bandits who were guarding the gate that night, and publicly chopped them up in the name of dereliction of duty. Only by rearranging the night watchmen did this trend be stopped.

Killing brings luck, including to one's own people, so Li Gui carries out the execution with his own hands every time, making his name of the Sky Killer more deeply rooted in the bandits' hearts.

Anyway, in Li Gui's eyes, none of these people are good, and they are absolutely unreliable to conquer the world. This group of people must be slowly replaced by honest and obedient good family members.

There were not many other things in the Song Dynasty, except that there were many farmers who could not survive, so they did not have to worry about having no sources of troops.

In the past few days, Li Gui practiced walking in unison in the morning, moving forward with the sound of drums and retreating when he heard the sound of gongs. In the afternoon, he practiced stabbing and closing the spear simultaneously. When he was free, he taught the three-legged cat kung fu he knew to the four of them. A personal soldier.

Li Gui himself was only at the level of a college student's military training, and he didn't know how to train troops. He had to emphasize discipline so that they would not collapse immediately when encountering the enemy.

Although he is a military layman, he also knows that whoever can persist to the end in a battle will be the winner!
The Han people were able to defeat the grassland peoples because of their discipline.

In front of the military formation, personal bravery can certainly be used to boost morale, but in actual fighting, it cannot play a decisive role.

No matter how strong a general is, he is not made of iron. He will be wounded by a knife, and he will die if he bleeds too much!
Unless...you can open Wushuang!

Under the threat of steel knives hanging above their heads, these people made rapid progress. In just a few days, they had already practiced well. They could keep their formations in order while running forward. On the battlefield, it can have some effect.

The training time is too short, but we can only make do with it.
