Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 114 Crisis
Chapter 110 The Third Crisis

The mandarin duck formation is too complicated, and the formation changes are extremely flexible and complicated. My soldiers fainted after practicing for a few days.

Yang Chao himself was a little dizzy. Although "Ji Xiao's New Book" is full of pictures and texts, it can be copied completely. Yang Chao copied and practiced according to it, but he didn't get immediate results.

The reason is that this formation is too complicated. A team of twelve people needs to use two knives, one long card, one rattan card, one flag gun, two wolf whisks, four long spears, two boring palladiums, and one There are eight kinds of weapons in total.

Not to mention the complexity of weapons, the change of formation is even more complicated. According to the different situations of the enemy, it can be changed into a formation of two talents or a formation of three talents.

Yang Chao knew that the mandarin duck formation was able to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield by relying on the integration of offense and defense, the combination of long and short, and flexible changes. Therefore, even though he and the soldiers were dizzy from the training, Yang Chao insisted on practicing.

It’s just that there are many problems that can’t be solved at present. The two weapons of the Wolf Whip and the Boring Palladium are not the standard weapons of the Ming army. Therefore, Yang Chao didn’t find any stocks in the Bingzhan Bureau, and he couldn’t buy them. Yang Chao wanted to see if he needed to build them. For the time being, it will only be replaced by an extended spear.

The most important thing at this time is to practice the formation.

In addition to practicing the mandarin duck formation, Yang Chao also practiced another formation, which Yang Chao called the 'wall formation'.

In fact, it was a row of soldiers, holding long spears, approaching and attacking at the same time like a wall.

This was discovered by Yang Chao during the actual battle with the Jiang bandits on the boat. At that time, Wang Pu's team approached the Jiang bandits in a uniform manner, and then assassinated them at the same time, making the Jiang bandits hard to guard against.

Of course, Yang Chao has improved on this.

When they were on the boat, all the soldiers were killing their chests, and they all stabbed at the Jiang bandit's chest.

During the training, Yang Chao asked a group of soldiers to assassinate in different positions.

"Prepare, assassinate!"

When Yang Chao gave an order, he saw a row of soldiers standing in front of the wooden rake and stabbed them with spears, but some stabbed the head, some stabbed the chest, some stabbed the abdomen, and some stabbed the legs and feet.

Twelve people are divided into four types, with different attack positions. No. 12 stabs the head, No. [-] stabs the chest, No. [-] stabs the abdomen, No. [-] stabs the legs, and so on No. [-] to No. [-], stabbing the head, chest, abdomen and legs.

Compared with the mandarin duck formation, the advantage of the wall formation is that it is simple and easy to practice. The disadvantage is that the defense is weak, there is no shield, and it can only attack but not defend.

For ten days in a row, the practice of the mandarin duck formation was still a mess, but the wall formation seemed to be similar. The enthusiasm of the soldiers practicing the wall formation was far better than that of practicing the mandarin duck formation. tiring.

Yang Chao reckoned that there wouldn't be three to five months, or even a year and a half, when this formation would not be powerful. Not only would it not be able to kill the enemy, but it might fall into chaos first.

On the other side, Yang Chao finally got the recruitment documents. To Yang Chao's surprise, the higher-ups actually approved it, allowing him to recruit another [-] soldiers to make up for Zuo Si's vacancies.

This made Yang Chao a little confused. If he said that he offended a certain big shot because of killing Jiang Bandits, then the big shot would definitely use various methods to target him. Whatever he wanted to do, the other side would block him, but he didn't expect that he would ask for recruits to fill the vacancy. The document, agreed directly.

The request to recruit soldiers was originally only used by Yang Chao as a test, to find out who was targeting him, and then he wanted to break through this joint and make his military achievements come true. Now it has been approved, which surprised Yang Chao and surprised Yang Chao. Tide is a bit difficult.

If you can't find that person, or those people, no matter how many Jiang bandits you kill, you won't be able to get promoted. What effect can a soldier have?

Therefore, Yang Chao still had to use other methods to find out those who stood in his way. Those people were not in the Ministry of War, so they could only be civil servants at all levels in charge of the army.

Either it is the Bingbei Dao who supervises the rectification of the army, or the censor who patrols the river, or the most senior admiral of Caojiang.

Let's start with the soldiers.

Bingbeidao is assigned by the inspectorate, usually a deputy inspector or inspector. In the early Ming Dynasty, this was just a temporary position. It was originally a civil servant sent by the inspector or the inspector to the general army to help sort out the documents. , In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the power gradually expanded, and it had the power to supervise the local military and organize military training. Now it can directly participate in military operations, with great power.

This official position belongs to the Judiciary, and the Judiciary is also under the Ministry of Punishment, so this position is very special. It is in charge of military affairs, but not under the Ministry of War, but under the Ministry of Punishment. It is the most peculiar position among civil servants.

Since he is a civil servant, Yang Chao entrusted Yin Tianfu Yin to help him clear it up, to see if he could get on the line.

……

Suzhou, Changmen!
Like the Qinhuai River, it is also a land of brothels.

In a messy brothel, the bustard was pinned down by several guards wearing flying fish uniforms, and a fat official of the guards stood beside her with a cold face, the flesh on his face trembling.

"Say, where is Dong Xiaowan?"

The official shouted coldly.

The bustard with heavy make-up was trembling with fright, and confessed everything: "I was taken away."

The official sneered and said, "I know I was picked up by someone, who picked me up?"

The bustard hurriedly shouted: "My lord, please spare my life, the lowly maid really doesn't know, so you should spare the lowly maid!"

The official sneered coldly: "Bitch! I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Hit me!"

Several Jinyiwei immediately punched and kicked.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me. The lowly maid is recruited, recruited."

The senior official waved his hands, and several Jin Yiwei stopped.

The bustard, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, cried and said, "The lowly servant girl doesn't know that she was taken away."

The official's expression changed, and the guards in Jinyi were about to fight again, the bustard hurriedly said: "But they have the letter from Liuhe East."

The senior official hummed: "Liu Hedong, Liu Rushi!"

The bustard responded: "Yes, that's Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute in Songjiang!"

The official snorted, "Famous prostitute? Pooh, isn't she just a whore?"

After finishing speaking, he stared at the bustard coldly: "If you have a lie in your mouth, hehe, I won't kill you, I will find a fault, and sell you again, to the dirtiest and worst hook bar Here, I believe the cattle there will not care that you are an old lady, besides you are not too old."

As the senior official said, he stretched out his hand to touch the bustard a few times, and felt that the touch was not bad.

The bustard hurriedly swears and swears: "If the poor servant girl has a single word of lies in her mouth, she will be struck by lightning and die."

Satisfied, the high official said with a smile: "Call out all the best girls in your building now. My brothers are also very tired, so give me a good hello. Don't tell me that you are not selling your body. Whatever you want her to sell, she has to sell!"

"Yes Yes!"

After the bustard was let go, he crawled and rolled into the back hall of the brothel.

Obscene smiles appeared on the faces of the senior officials and several Jin Yiwei.

------------

Starting from the next one, entering a brand new plot, is also a big climax.
