Da Wei Chun

Chapter 140 The Return
Hearing that Li Chengzhi was silent and was still taking a breath, Guo Cunxin's tone suddenly sank: "Could it be that you are really moved?"

Li Chengzhi came back to his senses, and said instinctively: "I'm just a little surprised!"

Surprised that Zhang Jingzhi is so direct, and also surprised that Zhang Jingmo's temperament is so outstanding.

There was also the sound of the bowl being touched. Thinking about it now, it was probably not an accident...

By the light of the moon, he vaguely saw Li Chengzhi's appearance wandering in the sky, and Guo Cunxin was even more angry.

Still say you're not interested?
"You idiot, don't even think about it. How old will you be in three years?"

How old?

"It's only twenty..."

Li Chengzhi had a thought in his heart, and he blurted it out without even thinking about it.

"I... I... I'm so mad..."

Guo Cunxin let out a violent roar, as if he had become angry from embarrassment, he raised the whip and lashed down vigorously, as if it was Li Chengzhi.

Hearing a whimper from the war horse, he leaped forward fiercely, and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

No matter how bright the moon is, it is still night, so how dare you gallop like this?

Li Chengzhi was taken aback and hurriedly ordered Li Xian to follow.

Then he came to his senses: Uncle couldn't be angry because he really wanted to betroth his cousin to him, right?
What a joke, even killing him!

He smiled slightly, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and followed.

……

In the early morning three days later, the barracks outside the city.

The sun slowly jumped out of the horizon, shining through the clouds and dispersing the mist.The mist turns into dew, hanging on the leaves and grass, crystal clear.

Birds can be heard everywhere, chirping, crisp and loud.There is a faint smell of grass and cooking smoke in the air.The knight rode his horse against the wind, and the cold water vapor rushed to his face, which was cool and refreshing.

Yiwutang rode from west to east, heading straight to the camp, but neither raised the flag nor whistled.

After Tangqi passed, a convoy like a giant dragon bypassed the pass of Kongtong Mountain and appeared in the wilderness.

There are [-] grain carts alone, and more than [-] war horses.

To and fro thirteen hundred miles, almost day and night, it has been half a month.

Finally came back, I'm afraid Li Chengzhi is waiting in a hurry?
Hu Baozong wiped his stubbled face, took off the water bag, and gulped a few big gulps.

The sky is getting brighter, and the outline of the barracks in the distance is getting clearer.Suddenly there was a sound of drums, and densely packed soldiers came out of the tents and marched to the school grounds.

Hu Baozong naturally knew Li Chengzhi's rules: no matter infantry or cavalry, soldiers must gather before going out for training and after returning to camp every day.

I will not mention what will be practiced later, but this team must be trained at least twice a day.

If you practice like this every day, when you really gather for the battle, how can there be any reason to be unhappy?

The procedure of Dianmao is not complicated, and Li Chengzhi basically copied the template of later generations:
Before paying out the account, the manager will check first, how much has been reached, how much is missing, who is it, what is the reason, and so on.

After the assembly of each team, the chiefs of each team will report to the team leader. After the assembly is under the stage, the team leaders will report again to the brigade commander, and then the brigade commander will report to Li Chengzhi.

In addition, the meritorious service of each team and brigade, that is, the military documents, will be recorded in detail and handed over to the sergeant.

Therefore, not only the commanders of the buildings and brigades knew how many soldiers under their command went out today, and whether those who did not come were sick or for other reasons, even Li Chengzhi and Guo Cunxin knew it clearly.

After that, it is necessary to send team doctors to send team doctors. The records that need to be recorded do not need to be reported one by one, and then approved on the spot and on the spot. solve.

When Hu Baozong saw him for the first time, he almost knelt down for Li Chengzhi.

Ninety-nine percent of Wei's barracks, even if there are a few team leaders, the commander may not know, let alone ordinary soldiers?
Let's not talk about whether the soldiers were treated or not, and why the soldiers did not return to the camp.In such a situation where the key point is twice a day, which soldier would dare to eat empty pay and drink blood?

Don't want to die?
……

Hu Baozong squinted his eyes and felt that there seemed to be a lot more people, and there were a lot more tents...

Um, right?

When did the barracks have such a thing as a tent?
It's not that Li Chengzhi was unprepared, but that he couldn't use it at all.

There are quite a lot of farms outside Chaona City, most of which occupy a very large area. When selecting camps, Li Chengzhi picked the four largest ones nearby.

The nearest one was given to the cavalry, and the remaining three were basically next to each other, one was the battalion of soldiers, the other was the battalion of auxiliary soldiers and supplies, and the other was the battalion of forging armor, which was also Li Chengzhi's commander-in-chief.

The cavalry, soldiers and auxiliary soldiers add up to four thousand soldiers, and they live in one room, and the houses in several farms are more than four hundred?
Naturally, there is no need for camp tents.

But looking at it now, the cavalry battalion and armor battalion are still there, but the infantry battalion and auxiliary battalion have disappeared?
To be precise, the Zhuang wall disappeared and was replaced by the wooden Jumazhai wall. The area was more than doubled, and there were three more archery towers on each side.

Those houses are still there, but in addition to the houses, there are two or three hundred more tents.

One account is one thing.

Could it be that Li Chengzhi conscripted another three thousand soldiers?

Suspicious in his heart, Hu Baozong subconsciously tightened his horse and leaned forward.

The further he walked, the more frightened Hu Baozong became.

You don't need to look at the camp tent at all, just look at the people.

There are four or five thousand infantrymen wearing white armor, and the team is so well-trained. Following the shouts of the commander, they lined up quickly and neatly, and then trotted to the audience.

The speed of travel is not slow, but there is no trace of disorder in the queue.

That's all, after all, Hu Baozong has already seen Li Chengzhi's methods of training troops, and it has been over [-] years, so it is not surprising that he has trained a few more brigades of auxiliary troops.

But when he saw more than a thousand cavalry galloping from the cavalry camp below the city, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

The speed of the horse is not slow, and it does not even slow down when turning. Even if the horse is half-slanted and passing by, it is clear that all of them are excellent riders, and it is impossible to practice it in such a short few days. of.

But the problem is, when he left, there were only [-] cavalrymen. Where did the extra [-] or [-] cavalry come from?

Hu Baozong was so impatient that he wanted to rush to Li Chengzhi immediately to ask for clarification, and subconsciously wanted to hit the horse and run wildly.

But before the whip was pulled down, he suddenly heard the soldiers around him remind him: "Lieutenant, order the flag!"

He looked up and saw a soldier standing on the arrow tower on the west side of the school field, holding a triangular green flag and pointing at them.

Hu Baozong stopped the horse helplessly.

I have seen Li Chengzhi's serious military orders more than once, and the phrase "military orders are like mountains" is definitely not empty talk.

If he dared to go forward, the soldiers on the turret would definitely dare to shoot arrows.

"Raise the flag, stop!" Hu Baozong gave an order to the flag commanders around him.

It was also a green flag, and the soldiers held it up and waved it three times, which meant that the march was delayed...

Under Li Chengzhi's repeated research and improvement, compared with the existing flag orders of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the flag orders of the Baijia soldiers have increased a lot.

Some military orders depend on the color of the flag, others on the shape, and others on the pattern on the flag, as well as the direction, movement, and speed of the soldiers when they raise and wave the flag.

More often than not, these points need to be combined.

Although it is a bit more complicated, and the difficulty of training the flag commander has also increased a lot, it is much more reliable than sending fast horses to report when the battle is approaching, at least the time is more than doubled.

Of course, correspondingly, the requirements for soldiers are not only higher, but the selection of flag commanders is even stricter: not only must they be literate, but they must also be the children of the Li family.

Li Chengzhi specially compiled a "Flag and Drum Order Code", fearing that it would be leaked, he did not publish it.But every night, he would personally give lectures to the brigade commanders, cavalry team leaders, Li's children who served as infantry team leaders, and banner commanders.

Then there is one test in three days, one test in five days...

The flag commander is okay, because the Li family already has ethnology, and most of the retainers' children are literate, plus they are young and quick-witted, so it is not too difficult to learn.

But the leader of the army general has no way to choose, it must be based on experience, and most of the soldiers with foreign surnames that Li Chengzhi exchanged for A are from poor backgrounds, and many of them can't even write their own names.

As a result, all the army leaders were tortured to death.

Especially Li Shi and Li Feng, as soon as they heard the exam, they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Li Chengzhi.

The former has a poor memory and forgets immediately, while the latter is simply illiterate.

In just ten or so days, almost half of the Lumi of the month was deducted for the two of them, and the whips alone added up to almost a hundred...

……

"Lieutenant, wait a moment, at most a moment, the army will disperse, and then you can enter the camp!"

When Hu Baozong looked back, it was actually Li Song who had arrived behind him at some point.

Surprised and suspicious, he pointed at the school field: "Where are there so many soldiers?"

"Eighty percent of us are fighting again, and it's still a big battle!"

Li Song sighed sadly, and pointed to the nearby supply camp: "Otherwise, where are there so many mules and horses?"

Hu Baozong followed the sound and saw that a dozen old and weak members of the Li family, as well as a dozen monks, were driving a large group of donkeys, mules, and horses out of Laozhai, as if they were going to graze at the foot of the mountain.

Judging by the number of mules and horses, there are at least a thousand.

Farmers prefer to raise cattle, followed by donkeys, mules and horses.The total number of Chaona County may be so much.And now it's spring plowing, how could they all rush to the barracks?
If it wasn't captured after the war, could it have fallen from the sky?

Hu Baozong trembled with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Well, you bastard, why did you start fighting as soon as grandpa left?"

Li Song glared at him: If you have the ability, come closer and call again?
He was not angry, but a little depressed.

This is clearly a big victory, and it is likely to be a battle of tens of thousands of people, and he didn't even get a hair?
In addition to being depressed, he was even more surprised.

With so many mules and horses, even hundreds of elite cavalry were captured. This is definitely an elite bandit army.

How did Lang Jun win?

……

It was only half a quarter or so, and the dotting was over. The teams practiced on the spot, and the teams that lined up went out of the camp in an orderly manner.

It may be that after receiving the order, the soldiers in the West Corner Building blew a whistle, raised the black flag and waved it twice, which meant that they could move forward.

Li Song also asked the soldiers to raise the flag, and the convoy began to march.

As soon as they walked about ten feet forward, they saw the middle gate of the camp opened wide, and heard three drums beating again.

Then I saw a group of white riders standing on both sides of the gate holding colorful flag tents.

This standard is not low, and it is usually only displayed when welcoming the envoy or the master.

But Hu Baozong still cursed: "Pretending to be a fool? Every time grandpa leaves, you fucking go to war..."

After listening to him scolding halfway, he suddenly fell silent?Li Song looked up, and it was actually Li Chengzhi who greeted him personally.

He suddenly couldn't help crying.

Hu Baozong was definitely not moved because he was moved, but because he was afraid that Li Chengzhi would punish him when he heard about it...
