The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 206 Casting Elite Soldiers

"Cough cough!" Before Li Jing and Yang Yong could speak, Pei Renji coughed dryly twice, then gave his son a hard look, and thought to himself, you have committed an old problem again, haven't you?How did your father teach you, there are people beyond people, there is heaven beyond the sky, arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated, why can't you remember?
Seeing his father's cold gaze, Pei Xingyan was too frightened to speak any more, and quickly retreated.

Li Jing smiled as if he hadn't seen it, and looked at Yang Yong: "My lord, the general thinks that it is not appropriate for us to take the initiative to send troops at the moment. Yang Lin suffered such a disastrous defeat, and he will definitely not let it go. He is bound to make a comeback. Hangu Pass is only a hundred or so away from here. Here, without our attack, Sui soldiers and Sui generals will definitely come to our door, now we should be ready to meet the enemy."

Yang Yong nodded and said: "The military adviser is right. We have a more important thing to do right now, which is to train soldiers! In the battle of Tongguan, although we won a complete victory, we also paid a heavy price. In terms of casualties , Sui soldiers and Sui generals lost 5 horses, while our rebel army lost nearly 3 horses. Seeing so many brothers have become forever, the king is deeply saddened. Killing one thousand enemies, self-injury eight hundred, this shows Our combat effectiveness is too poor. In the future, we must not only win battles, but also minimize casualties. Life is only once for each of us, and more soldiers must see the results of our victory. For this reason, we must step up Train your troops, improve your combat effectiveness, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime."

Yang Yong's words were praised by all the generals. Li Jing looked at the generals and said, "Your Highness is righteous, loves the people like his own sons, and treats soldiers like brothers. He is a role model for all of us. To have such a hero is our volunteer army." Blessing. Right now, I am not waiting for Sui soldiers and Sui generals to attack, but to seize the time to practice soldiers and horses, and everyone must not slack off."

"No." All the generals in the camp saluted in unison.

Yang Yong added: "Also, training must be focused. We have dealt with Tuyuhun soldiers and Turkic generals many times. It is not that this king underestimates himself. In terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers of the Central Plains are far inferior to the troops of the barbarians. What I mean is that we should learn from the strengths of others, make up for our own weaknesses, quickly increase our combat power, and build an elite army that can "come and fight, and fight and win." The military division will arrange the specific matters."

Li Jing and other generals clapped their hands and applauded. Unexpectedly, our lord is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has such deep insights into military training. It seems that the lord's martial arts and martial arts are unfathomable.

Following Yang Yong's instruction, Li Jing selected 15 infantry from the 20 rebel army, all young men under the age of [-], and gathered them in a valley in Tongguan to form an infantry team, which was trained by General Gong Yechang.

Then [-] knights were carefully selected from the rebel armies in various states and counties, all young and strong, and they were also gathered in Tongguan to form a cavalry team. It also incorporated the Eastern Turkistan's iron armor battle formation into it, allowing skilled workers to design and tailor armor for people and horses.Drawing on the lessons of the Turkic armored battle formation, let them form an attacking phalanx, but they don't have to be linked together with iron chains, so as to improve the overall mobility and flexibility of the cavalry team.

After the plan was finalized, Yang Yong and Li Jing went to the scene to supervise the training of soldiers and horses every day. For a while, Tongguan became a large-scale training ground, and tens of thousands of soldiers set off a training boom.

After two months like this, the Sui soldiers and the Sui soldiers seemed to cooperate intentionally, and they did not send a single soldier. However, after these two months, there were frequent reports of success in various states and counties in Shaanxi, and the people went to work in peace. With the scene of stability and prosperity, there is an endless stream of ordinary people who come to sign up for the rebel army. The total number of rebel troops has exceeded 20, and the number of elite troops transferred to Tongguan has grown from 13 to [-].

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of Yang Yong's rebel army has been greatly improved, especially after two months of hard training by the [-] infantry squadron and the [-] armored cavalry squadron, Yang Yong and Li Jing held a "military exercise parade" to check their combat effectiveness. ".

Picking a fine weather, Yang Yong and Li Jing led the soldiers to the reviewing platform, condescending, and saw that on the vast practice field, the two teams were personally commanded by Gongye Chang and Sang Muda to arrange troops, attack and kill Defense drills.

The first one was the [-] infantry team. They were lined up neatly, each holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand. With a sound, the drill began. They were either attacking, retreating, or fighting each other. Stretch out, combining unity and flexibility.

Then came the Iron Armored Cavalry Team. The [-] knights were all covered with heavy armor, from men to horses.As soon as the drumbeat of the attack sounded, all the horses came out together. These knights drew their bows and shot arrows on the march, and they shot without fail.Then all the spears stabbed together, it was almost unstoppable.

Yang Yong and Li Jing were overjoyed after visiting the "military exercise" of the two major teams.

The most gratifying thing for Yang Yong came. Someone came to report that two beautiful wives came from Daxing City outside Tongguan City.

Yang Yongxi couldn't help himself and took all the generals out of the city to greet her. At this time, Princess Yujing was pregnant and was about to give birth. She was supported by Xiao Meiniang and got out of the car. When she came to Yang Yong, she wanted to salute Yang Yong. She was so frightened that Yang Yong hurriedly stopped her. Because he was too happy, regardless of the generals present, Yang Yong put his head on his wife's big belly and listened.The generals couldn't help being overjoyed, and Princess Yujing, who was always carefree, also had a big blush.

Due to the busy military affairs, the three armies are stepping up their military training. Yang Yong can't leave his body during the day, so Xiao Meiniang and Li Wan'er are responsible for taking care of Princess Yujing. The two of them have a civil and a military, and they can't leave Yujing. The three of them are like a family, and they talk very well. Come.

In the evening, Yang Yong and Xiao Meiniang will be responsible for taking care of Princess Yujing. Of course, the mishaps between husband and wife are indispensable, but at this time, Princess Yujing is only envious.

In a few days, Princess Yujing gave birth and gave birth to Yang Yong, who gave birth to a thousand pieces of gold. Yang Yong named her Yang Yimeng.Finally becoming a father, Yang Yong was so happy that he woke up several times from his dream.

After more than a month, it was the beginning of spring in AD 606.

On this day, Yang Yong ordered someone to beat the drum to raise the tent, and the three-way drum sounded, and all the generals were present. Li Jing looked at the generals in the battalion, and then at Yang Yong. Yang Yong nodded slightly at him, and Li Jing looked at the generals again. : "All generals, according to the report from Ma Lai, the emperor sent 40 soldiers to conquer Goguryeo. Luoyang is empty. We have rested for three months. We can no longer wait for the Sui soldiers to attack us in the future. We must seize the opportunity , Take Henan in one go! But the length of the Great Wall and the height of Mount Tai must be paved with foundation stones, so no matter who is sent to each order, he must swear to die, otherwise, the military law is ruthless."

"Promise." All the generals replied in unison. There will be no war for three months, and the palms of these generals are itchy. When they heard that they were going to take the initiative to attack, they all geared up, and the enthusiasm was high.
