Chapter 487: Drinking Water (Part 1)(1/2)

The clean water flows.

Compared with the previous few days, the water level has risen and the water trend is even more turbulent.

On the empty grass on the west bank, the Ding Zhuang, who were recruited from Wancheng, had just finished cutting wood and started building high platforms.

Under the high platform, there are many people watching the fun, most of whom are aristocratic families from Nanyang.

Liu family in Wancheng, Le family in Jingyang, Zong family in Yexian, Yu family in Xinye, Fan family in Shunyang...

These families are based in local areas, but there are people in local centers like Wancheng. They were invited to attend today's meeting, so they all came - those who did not receive the invitation and rushed over to join in the fun.

After Chen Hou, rhythmic drums sounded in the north, attracting everyone's attention.

In the gray camp, the gate was open, and countless soldiers lined up in neat rows, and the self-operated gates were out in a row.

After walking into the wilderness, he moved quickly and moved closer under the command of the banner.

The array in the middle is the first to form.

There were a total of six thousand iron armored warriors, the first row of swords and shields, followed by the endless jungle of spears.

When standing with arms, he remained motionless and was full of murderous intent.

A square formation was also assembled to the left of the formation, with a population of about 5,000, and a little noisy and scattered. After completing the queue, he ran forward dozens of steps, which was much more prominent than the silver spear formation and was located in front of the left.

The three thousand men on the right side of the formation are not as good as the Silver Spear Army, but they are much better than the five thousand men in front.

Most of them were wearing leather armor, holding black stair spears in their hands, and half of them had step bows hanging around their waists. Under the guidance of the flag-roaring golden drum, they were slightly behind the silver spear formation for dozens of steps and were located at the right rear.

After the formation of 14,000 people in the front left, center, and right back, thousands more people left the camp.

They looked the worst, without a unified battle robe, no different from a farmer, and their equipment was very old and simple, and even more diverse.

Unlike the three formations in front, they pulled out of the camp with carriages and formed a circle at the end.

The baggage cart lives outside, and people stand inside. There are many crossbows on the cart. People who can shoot archers also hold their bows in their hands and look around.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of this group of people is very poor, so they can only fall behind and rely on the baggage to set up the formation.

When the infantry was deploying their formation, two thousand cavalry advanced to the two wings and dispersed far away. Only after the infantry formation was completed did they come down from the horse's back and stand with the horse.

"This..." Under the platform, the scholars who were planning to watch the fun suddenly felt their anus tightening and they had goose bumps all over their bodies.

"What kind of array is this?"

"According to the military book..."

"There are such arrays in the military books, but they are plausible."

"I have heard that in the early years, Mr. Chen put this formation on his behalf and said the 'Canyue Formation'. When he started fighting, the formation would spin and hit people, mainly attacking the flanks of the enemy's large formation."

"Who are those who stand without standing or sitting outside the formation?"

"That's a dispersed team, all of them are outlaws, today and tomorrow. Walking around the flanks of the formation, when they see the enemy cavalry rushing, they dare to go up and fight for their lives with a gun."

"This soldier is a bit fierce."

At first, there were people chattering and whispering, but as time went on, they felt their legs sore when they stood, and the group of people were still standing with weapons.

Well, not necessarily.

The formation in front of the left was a little noisy and was not as neat as before.

There was no noise from the three thousand people on the right rear, but the formation was not as good as before.

The most amazing thing is the six thousand people in the middle, wearing armor and holding guns, standing like puppets until now.

"Daida" sounded.

Hundreds of riders circled out from behind the formation, and slowly stopped after they were circulating in front of the formation.

A golden general came out, holding a horse whip in his hand, full of energy.

The relatives followed closely and surrounded him.

More than one person held an empty horse in his hand, and had saddles on the horse's back and weapons. I don't know if it was a war horse that was transferred to fight or used to escape.

When you are defeated, riding alone is also a technical job, and preparing more empty horses is a must.

The golden-armored general looked for a while, then rode his horse to the front of the formation and raised his whip high.

"Kill!" The six thousand soldiers of the central army shouted in unison.

The deafening sound instantly reached the high platform, and everyone looked solemn.

Regardless of whether you can appreciate Shao Xun before, whether you criticize his family background, or have any bad views on his ambitions, you will be much more shocking when facing the real military power than what "flags cover the sun" described in history books.

What you hear and see are always different.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Other formations also shouted one after another.

While shouting, he hit the ground rhythmically with a spear, and the visual and auditory impacts are amazing.

Just as Liang Fen also left the camp and slowly walked forward with the army generals, staff and personal soldiers.

He looked at it for a long time, then sighed and turned over and dismounted.

Fu Xuan, Yan Ding and others then dismounted.

Fu Xuan was fine, just watched quietly.

Yan Ding's face turned pale, and almost staggered when he dismounted. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was in a state of excitement and his hands and feet were slightly out of control.

He subconsciously glanced behind him.

More than 10,000 troops came out one after another and lined up in the wilderness.

To be fair, these soldiers’ personal qualities are actually OK.

From Guanzhong - some even Qinzhou and Liangzhou - survivors who have traveled all the way, know what they have done along the way.

The weak have been eliminated on the road.

All those who can reach the counties in Mianbei are strong men and healthy women.

Hu Handing Zhuang, who was lined up at this moment, was the essence of the entire Mianbei counties. He was fierce, fierce, wild, and looked like he was brave and brave.

Of course, they also have weaknesses.

The equipment is too bad!

Liang Fen at least occupied the Wancheng Arsenal, and there was also a large iron smelting workshop nearby, making weapons day and night, but the people under him were still shabby and didn't know where his equipment went.

In addition to poor equipment, it can also be seen that this army has not been practicing for a long time.

In fact, it is understandable. After all, if you have to work hard on farm work, how can you have so much time to train? Lao Liang also has to provide food and grass to the troops of Wancheng, Xiangyang, Xiangzhou and even Wang Dun, which quelled the Du Tao rebellion. The influx of Guanxi refugees are also every year, and they need to spend a lot of money to resettle grain.

The most important thing is that he did not receive the support of the Nanyang gentry and was unable to raise money and grain.

After all, he did not establish a full-time recruitment unit.

Shao Xun also looked from afar, and when he saw it, he smiled.

After a long period of chaos, the team was completed. This is not a good fighter.

To put it nicely, these people are still uncensored jade and need further crafting.

He quickly got off his horse and walked forward.

Liang Fenzon stopped for a while and walked towards each other.

Both followers stayed behind and watched quietly.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Liang."

After the ceremony, Shao Xun glanced at Liang Fen and smiled and said, "After leaving for many years, Liang Gong's style remains the same."

"It's not as far as Mr. Chen." Liang Fen said: "The army of 20,000 tigers and wolves is arranged in the wild. With such a mighty power, I'm sorry to come to the wrong place."

"Duke Liang meant that this army should be placed under Pingyang City?" Shao Xun asked.

"If you cannot kill the enemy and the people, what's the use of this soldier?"

"If there were no such soldiers standing around Heyang, it would be impossible to build Luoyang in ten years, and there were countless times that had been broken."

Liang Fen sighed.

He knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to play with the person in front of him. It was not that he was not good at eloquence, but that what the other party said was true, and he disdained to argue and did not like to mess around.

He strolled to the bank of the Qingshui River, looked at the rolling rivers southwards, and asked, "Why did Jun Yao come here? To capture me and ask me for guilt? Or to force me to resign?"

"Is Mr. Liang willing to resign?"

Liang Fen looked at the newly built houses on the other side of the Qingshui River and said after a long time: "I don't want to."

"The emperor has issued an order." Shao Xun reminded.

Liang Fen turned his head and looked at him, too lazy to talk nonsense.

"What does Liang Gong think about the general trend of the world?" Shao Xun exposed this question and asked.

"There is no righteous person in the court, and the king of the clan shows his power, causing trouble to the world and wastes energy. Now he is in danger."
