114. The commander is me
Yang Hong is coming!
This news is really a matter of joy and sorrow. Zhang Yingxian is the one who is happy, while Sanlang is the one who is desperate.
For Zhang Yingxian, this person is a savior. For Saburo, he is a disaster star!
Pinming Sanlang still clearly remembers that more than a year ago, his name was Zheng Yanfu. At the foot of the cave cliff, hundreds of men with the same number of officers and soldiers, formed a battle formation to fight against Yang Hong, but was easily defeated by others without any effort. Then he used the trick of attacking the heart to easily capture the clerk and slaughtered all the hundreds of brothers.
No one knows the terribleness of officers and soldiers better than Psycho Sanlang! It is not a bandit or a village warrior, but a regular army of the court, with strong combat power. They look weak, tattered clothes and inconsistent soldiers, but they can easily defeat the bandit and village warrior army several times theirs, and there will not even be too much casualties.
This is an almost impossible rival!
"Brother Zhu, what should we do?" Psycho Saburo couldn't help but become anxious: "Let's run away!"
"Can't escape!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Our food is all here, it's not easy to transport so much food. Moreover, brothers have finally settled their homes. If they change places, the hard work of the previous few months will be in vain."
"But...when the officers and soldiers dealt with me, didn't you persuade me to escape?"
"Hahaha, this is the same as that." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Can my parcel be the same as yours? I advise you to escape because I feel that you can't beat the officers and soldiers, but I don't need to escape because I have no reason to lose to the officers and soldiers."
"This..." Pinming Saburo was a little disbelief.
"Let's go, go to the training ground on the top of the mountain with me!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and walked out with Tsing Sanlang and Ma Xiaotian. The three of them walked a few steps. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt someone holding his arm and followed closely. When he looked back, he found that it was Zhang Yingxian.
When she heard that several men were going out, Zhang Yingxian was also anxious. She wanted to know what their plans were. Because this was related to whether she, a little woman, could be born, so she also wanted to go to the training ground on the top of the mountain to see, but the foot-binding cloth was not removed for a long time, and her calf had not yet recovered to natural feet. It was still a bit difficult to walk. How difficult it was to keep up with the steps of several men? She had no choice but to care about her face, and reached out to grab Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and helped him walk forward!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her deeply. Her little thoughts did not escape Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp eyes, but he didn't care. It was normal for her to escape. It would be strange if she didn't want to escape. Anyway, she was just a weak woman, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think she could do anything, so it would be okay to leave it alone.
The four of them arrived at the top of the mountain together, and the cold mountain wind was blowing. Eight hundred soldiers were trained under the leadership of Wang Er. The eight hundred were divided into eight brigades, and they were still numbered as first, second, third, and fourth brigades... Each team was divided into ten groups, each with ten people.
On the side of the training ground, there were fifteen middle-aged men holding instruments such as gongs and drums in their hands and forming a military band. These men were formerly famous musicians in the countryside, and occasionally appeared in the funeral and wedding ranks. The kind of men beat gongs and drums. After they arrived at the village, they were selected by Zhu Yuanzhang and turned into military bands.
You should know that as the scale of the parody continues to expand and the number of troops increases, it is impossible to continue to rely on Zhu Yuanzhang to command the command. It is imperative to organize a military band. Moreover... After the number of people in the team exceeds a thousand, every thousand people will have to be equipped with a military band.
The soldiers have been training for several months, and have improved a lot compared to last winter. At least they will not squeeze around in a mess anymore. They already know that following the orders, they will not be a problem to move forward and backward, and rotate left and right. They can also perform simple array transformations. Without the interference of the enemy, many tactical array transformations can be implemented.
Their weapons were also unified, and each person held a wooden spear of exactly the same length in his hand.
After entering the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang specially made unified wooden spears for them. These wooden spears were made of the best wood cut in the mountains. As for the spear tip, this was a little more difficult. At that time, they defeated the village brave army and snatched many weapons such as Pu Dao from the village brave army, burned them and remade them into relatively iron-efficient spear tips.
At this stage, it is unrealistic to mine iron ore by himself. Zhu Yuanzhang had to make rational use of the resources in his hands. If there was not enough iron, he melted some plows and hoes and other farm tools. Even a few iron pots were used, and the 800-man army was equipped with spears with iron spear tips. This also affected the lives of the villagers in the village to some extent. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had a relatively high reputation, and the villagers all obeyed him, and the recruitment of several plows and iron pots was not obstructed by Da Tai.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the side of the training ground and stopped, and said to Sanlang desperately: "You must be thinking that this army has been trained too short, not as good as the officers and soldiers."
"Yeah!" Tsanolo nodded.
"So do you know how much training the officers and soldiers have received?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"have no idea!"
"I know!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously and seriously: "My guards in the Ming Dynasty only have two months to train every year, and the other ten months are used to farm."
"It's only two months?" The desperate man was shocked.
"This is still an optimistic estimate." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "In fact, many soldiers have trained less than two months. They are eighth-part as farmers, two-part as soldiers, and only 20% of the time is spent in a year. However, because of the military system, it is actually nine-part as farmers and one-part as soldiers."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the soldiers in the training ground and smiled and said, "How long have our soldiers been practicing?"
The desperate Sanlang calculated: "Since we entered the mountains last winter, it has been late spring. They have been practicing for almost four months. As for the more than 200 soldiers you brought out first, they have been practicing for more than a year."
"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "In this way, our worst soldiers are equivalent to soldiers who have been practicing for two years among officers and soldiers, and the more than 200 soldiers in the core are equivalent to veterans who have been practicing for six or seven years. And we cannot simply calculate this. You must know that training is like practicing boxing. If you don't practice hands for three days, you will only practice for ten months. The results of the practice cannot be consolidated. Therefore, our training for four months can last for four years for officers and soldiers."
"So that's it!" Pinming Saburo said suddenly: "In other words, our soldiers are no worse than officers and soldiers."
"No... there are still some things!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It's not enough on the battlefield experience, but it's not enough to be confident! They still think they are rebels from the bottom of their hearts, and they don't have enough confidence to fight..."
"Then how should we deal with this?" asked Pinsheng Saburo.
"Use the momentum of fighting back and death if you don't win, to offset the difference in confidence." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Although officers and soldiers occupy the righteousness, they will not die if they lose. They can still live a good life when they return to Xi'an, but our soldiers cannot afford to lose. They only need to lose one battle, which is the fate of being in different places. Regarding this... I hope you can think of some solutions."
"Me?" Tsailang was confused.
"Well, it's you!" Zhu Yuanzhang whispered in his ear: "From tonight, you go to the soldiers and tell the soldiers about the destruction of your village. Of course, you don't need to say that you are Zheng Yanfu, just say that you are Zheng Yanfu's subordinate. When the officers and soldiers attacked the mountain, you were on the Cave Cliff and saw with your own eyes how the officers and soldiers cruelly killed the surrendered villagers. Remember, don't talk about how powerful the officers and soldiers are, just talk about how cruel the officers and soldiers are, and don't frown when they kill people. They attacked Zhao Yu's camp at night and killed all the surrendered villagers. They said in a jealous way that the more exaggerated they said, the better."
"I understand!" Sanlang is not stupid. He can understand this at first glance. This is to give the soldiers a brief introduction in advance and tell them that surrender is not possible, and it is not possible to defeat a war. If you fight with officers and soldiers, you must win the battle. If you lose, you will be doomed.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted his shoulder lightly and said seriously: "If you consider yourself, we will definitely win! There are three reasons."
Trying to death, Saburo's confidence increased greatly and asked, "What three points?"
"First point, the officers and soldiers are not familiar with the terrain. If they enter Huanglong Mountain, they will have to spend a month finding us. If they fight, they will be tortured by the terrain to death."
"rational!"
"The second point is that a thousand-household officers and soldiers cannot reach a thousand troops. In fact, at most five hundred, we have the advantage of military strength."
"Well, this is right. Yang Hong did only bring five hundred soldiers last time."
"The third point is also the most important point." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled calmly. He said in a deep, confident and persuasive voice: "It is me on our commander!"
What a sentence "It's me"! It's powerful and confident. When Saburo heard this, he felt no doubt at all when he didn't know why, because when Brother Zhu said this, his expression was so natural, his tone was so calm, and his whole body did not tremble at all. He was like saying something very ordinary, very ordinary, and very natural.
His confident attitude also infected the desperate Saburo, which made him feel much more at ease. He couldn't help but recall the little things that happened since he met Zhu Ba. The man in front of him had never made a wrong judgment, and every word he said hit the nail on the head. Everything he did gave the perfect answer.
"I believe you, Brother Zhu!" Sanlang couldn't help but respond like this.
Ma Xiaotian next to him couldn't help but show admiration.
Of course, there is an exception. Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but think: Blow, just blow hard! No matter how three heads and six arms, you can't stand the enemy. When General Yang Hong comes into the mountains, I will be able to gain freedom again...
