Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

However, the lightest crossbow used by the shooting army is a stone, which requires a pulling force of 120 jin. Under such a huge bow arm strength, even if there is no arrowhead, as long as it hits the face, neck, throat and other parts, it will be the same. It can cause casualties, even if it does not hit the vital parts of the face, just like shooting a helmet, a soldier who is shot with an arrow will feel like a sledgehammer hit his head, and he will not be able to recover for a long time.

As for shooting at the body, it would be like hitting with a baton.In mild cases, it may be bruised and purple, and in severe cases, even ribs may be broken by the shock.

It was this kind of exercise in the context of actual combat that made the soldiers on both sides of the exercise really angry.The two brigade commanders who participated in the attack yelled at Paoze beside him with red eyes: "Get your bloody spirits up, if you can't attack again this time, don't eat your mother's blood!"

When the [-] to [-] soldiers on the attacking side were yelling and attacking the hillside, the brigade commander yelled at the soldiers around him while charging: "Assault team, don't get together, one by one, disperse, Scatter, rush up like you, shoot you with your eyes closed, maneuver like a snake..."

"Heavy crossbowman, cover fire!"

If this is an army with hot weapons, this kind of exercise method will not be surprising at all. However, in the army of the cold weapon era, this kind of cross-covering and mutual attack method is absolutely impossible to exist, but it does exist. No need to ask, this is also Chen Ying's masterpiece!

The brigade commander shouted excitedly: "Attack, attack..."

A cavalry galloped all the way in the smoke and dust, rushed to the regiment captain, and shouted: "Captain, the latest military order: end the field training immediately and lead the troops back to the camp!"

The captain took the order and looked at it, and it was really signed by Chen Ying.He was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Didn't it be agreed that the field training would last for three months, and it wouldn't end until the mountains were covered by heavy snow. Why would it be over in just one and a half months? Could it be..."

The captain's eyes flashed, "Is there going to be a war?"

The vice captain's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Ninety-nine are inseparable!"

The captain clapped his fists and said, "Okay, it's time for this, I've been holding back for half a year, I've had enough! Trumpeter, blow the horn and gather, let's go back to the barracks!"

……

On the bank of the Kushan Grassland, a soldier of the Tang Army who was riding Zhechong Mansion was conducting a riding and shooting exercise under the leadership of Captain Zhechong.But this is not a confrontational exercise, but an assault exercise. There are wild wolves on the grasslands, which harm livestock.The disappearance was reported to the military, and the military volunteered, leading a Zhechong mansion with more than [-] cavalry to encircle and suppress the wolves here.

"East..."

As a scout from the Tang army discovered the traces of the wolves, all the soldiers of the Yue cavalry army were covered by a rain of arrows without saying a word.A dozen or so wild wolves were shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows before they even had a chance to scream.

Chen Ying's characterizes this kind of recruit training as seeing blood. The wild wolves, wild boars, even rabbits, gazelle, and even wild horses in the entire Tianshan area have suffered bloody misfortune, and they were encircled and suppressed by the soldiers of the Anxi army like a net. Now, most of the animals have become the delicacies on the dinner table of the Anxi Army soldiers.

In fact, it's not just small animals.There are also bandits, robbers, sand bandits, and horse bandits in the Western Regions. They have all become the objects of military training, and it is also one of the important links for recruits to see their blood.

"Yamanya" means danger in Turkic language. It was originally a barrier lake formed by flash floods.Later, for unknown reasons, the lake dried up, and a small basin with a large area was formed. Except for the east and west exits, it was surrounded by cliffs eroded by the lake.

Of course, due to the unique terrain, this place has also become the lair of Asalan, a famous bandit in the Western Regions (meaning The Lion King).There are more than a thousand powerful horse bandits here.

In order to encircle Asalan, the Shesheng army headed by Duan Zhixian surrounded Yamanya with a total of six Zhechong prefectures and more than [-] troops.

In order to train the soldiers of the new army, Duan Zhigan had people seal off the east and west exits of Yamanya, and then let the four Zhechong mansion soldiers climb up the cliff in turn, and shoot condescendingly at the horse bandits under Asalan's command. Naturally, it is not the arrows without arrowheads used in the exercise, but the real sheep's head arrows.

It can be said that the arrow bites the flesh, and the arrow sees blood.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Asalan hurriedly begged Duan Zhigan to surrender.

Duan Zhigan said that your greatest value is to let the recruits see their blood, so they readily and cleanly rejected Asalan's surrender.

Asalan wanted to cry without tears, and roared to the sky: "Are there any bullies like you?"

At this moment, the cavalry messenger came, and Duan Zhigan followed the military order and said happily: "The game is over, prepare to return to the team!"

Duan Zhi feels like letting Asalan go. This guy specializes in intercepting the robbers passing by the merchants. He has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years. God knows how many caravans and treasures he has robbed?

Following the order of Duan Zhigan's general attack, all the soldiers were shot, and the shieldman slapped the shield with a horizontal knife.Amidst the frightening bang bang, more than [-] soldiers of the shooting army lined up in three rows and silently advanced towards Yamanya. Looking at the soldiers of the Tang army who were getting closer, Asalan led the bandits under his command in despair. Launched a counter charge to the Tang army.

However, Tang Jun responded with arrows like a storm...

After half an hour of fighting, Duan Zhigan was very satisfied with the result of the battle.The four soldiers of the Shesheng Army from Zhechong Mansion shot and killed more than [-] enemies without being killed in battle. Although there were dozens of wounded soldiers, no one escaped.

With the arrival of the messenger cavalry, their leisurely days finally came to an end.

As the soldiers of the Anxi Army returned to the team, Chen Ying's chariot had started rumbling.

On August [-]th of the sixth year of Wude, Chen Ying reviewed the generals of the Anxi Army in Mulan City and called a meeting of the generals.Chen Ying saw that Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Guo Xiaoke, Su Dingfang and other generals had all arrived, and he said straight to the point: "This general has only one goal. Before the heavy snow seals the mountain, he knows all about taking Geluoling." Yet?"

The generals said loudly: "It's clear!"

Chen Ying said: "It's good to be clear!"

At the same time, afterward, Chen Ying sacrificed the flag and swore to his master, and then led [-] Anxi soldiers to attack along the Silk Road!

The first ninety-eighth chapter feeds on the enemy with war

The first ninety-eighth chapter feeds on the enemy with war

The most surprising thing was that the generals Chen Ying ordered to stay behind were not Duan Zhigan or Xiaoqi General Zhang Shigui, but Guo Xiaoke, the fastest promoted under Chen Ying's command.

Don't look at Guo Xiaoke's following Chen Yingman for less than three years, but he has been promoted from a small soldier to a fourth-rank loyal general, at the same level as Su Dingfang.

Counting from the ninth-rank military officer to the fourth-rank loyal military general, there are a full 22 levels.Guo Xiaoke completed the 22-level jump in less than three years.If you calculate it carefully, it's very scary, it's almost a month to level up.

Even Guo Xiaoke himself felt baffled, and Su Dingfang even teased whether Guo Xiaoke was Chen Ying's illegitimate son, but because Guo Xiaoke was a few years older than Chen Ying, no matter how tight Chen Ying's crotch was, he would never be able to give birth to a son as big as Guo Xiaoke .

The great scientist Einstein once said a secret to success: "What is a genius? It is one percent inspiration plus 90.00 percent sweat."Many people regard this sentence as chicken soup for the soul. However, there is a paragraph behind this sentence, which is called 90.00% inspiration is far more important than [-]% sweat.

Learning, in fact, is just to become a skilled craftsman, absolutely not a genius.Talent is actually more important than hard work. For example, in terms of online literature, Lao Cheng has been writing books since [-]. He has tried various themes, but he has always been a hit. Doesn’t Lao Cheng work hard?There are many people who are lazy than Lao Cheng, but he is even more awesome.This is the talent gap.

Guo Xiaoke's talent is not bad, although he was not doing his job properly when he was young, but after discovering that the Anxi Army's system is very suitable for his development, he can always draw inferences from one instance and quickly accept Chen Ying's intentions.When Chen Ying appointed him as the deputy commander of the Yue Cavalry Army, Guo Xiaoke understood Chen Ying's intentions.

Chen Ying wants to assimilate the Western Regions and transform the Western Regions into the Central Plains.Therefore, Guo Xiaoke carried out the extremely harsh study of Tang Yan in the Yueqi Army, as well as the study of Chen Ying's officer night school, and achieved gratifying results.Su Dingfang, who had the same starting point as Guo Xiaoke, just coped with things, not too bad, but definitely not outstanding.

Chen Ying newly built more than [-] miles of asphalt roads, and with the same human resources as Su Dingfang, Guo Xiaoke's troops completed more than [-] miles, while Su Dingfang's troops completed only more than [-] miles. The gap was immediately reflected.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are well-prepared. Chen Yingti suggested that Guo Xiaoke inspect the Sima of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and stay in the Western Regions as the inspector Sima.This is Chen Ying's affirmation of Guo Xiaoke's efforts.

Staying in the Western Regions was actually a test for Guo Xiaoke by Chen Ying.As Chen Ying's identity and status, it is impossible for him to be stationed in the Western Regions for a long time, unless Li Yuan's brain is flooded.

Obviously, after Li Yuan freed up his hands, he would definitely not sit back and watch the barbaric development of the Western Regions. At this time, Chen Ying would retire and live an ideal life with Li Xiuning's wife and children.

Then, Guo Xiaoke can become the second protector of the Western Regions just like in history.

What surprised everyone in the Protectorate of the Western Regions the most was that on the eve of the Western Expedition, Chen Ying specially promoted Ma Zhou to Cao Canjun, a citizen of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.You must know that Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, and he managed the Datang Tongli Bank under Chen Ying's command as a private screener. He was a merchant, the son of the Qian family.However, he became Cao Canjun, a citizen of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.Although this is only a seventh-rank official position, it controls the financial and taxation of more than 100 counties in the nineteen prefectures of the Western Regions, which is equivalent to the purse of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Although this is not in line with etiquette, there is no objection.

Because Ma Zhou was a member of Chen Ying, and to oppose Ma Zhou was to oppose Chen Ying.

Ma Zhou's first job function was to allocate food and grass in an all-round way for Chen Ying's westward expedition.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.An army of [-] and more than [-] horses consume as much as [-] shi of grain every day, and ten times as much grain as grass.

In order to transport supplies for the [-]-strong army, Chen Ying not only recruited more than [-] peasants to participate in the transportation of grain and grass, but also recruited more than [-] herdsmen from various ethnic groups and tribes, and marched with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

It is not difficult for Chen Ying to get the food consumed by the [-] army, but what is lacking is the transportation capacity. Not only that, Chen Ying also, as the general guard of the Western Regions, dispatched a caravan of [-] camels to transport supplies.

The Anxi Army is an army of mules and horses. The entire army, from generals to cooks and handymen, even travel on mules and horses. Ordinary cavalry naturally ride forward. Soldiers, they marched in four-wheeled carriages.
