I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

The sound of fighting behind him soon disappeared. Tusul lay on the horse and let his tears keep falling. He knew that his teacher would never come back.

He kept saying, "Teacher, I will only shed tears this once, and I will never shed tears again."

On the battlefield at the rear, the Jurchens beheaded all the Khitans without wasting any effort. Everyone began to gather up the scattered horses and did not continue to pursue them.

At this time, another cavalry group arrived from behind. The man who gathered the horses hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, should we continue to pursue you?"

Ku Guan did not answer but asked: "How many horses have we captured?"

"About [-] horses, the exact number is still being calculated, but it's just a lot more."

Ku Guan looked into the distance and said: "The pass is not far ahead. There is no point in pursuing it any further. Just [-] horses!"

Then he came to Xiao Zhan's body and said, "If you hadn't killed war horses in the camp to satisfy your hunger, my master would have let you live for a while longer. What do you think? Killing war horses?"

Find a coffin and send the Generalissimo of the South Military Academy of Liao to Yelu Zhangnu. "

.......

The snowflakes are still there, bleaching the entire earth, and domineeringly trying to dye the world into the same color.

In Yingzhou City, Yerunan came to the craftsman's camp again, pushed the door open and said, "What's the progress?"

A group of craftsmen shook their heads bitterly.

Yerunan's face instantly turned cold: "The Song Dynasty people can make it, why can't you make it? Are you stupider than the Song Dynasty people?"

Yelu Nan couldn't help but roar. He also received news of Yelu Zhangnu's rebellion in the north.

But there are only 40000 troops under his command, and they are all infantry. They are of no use on the battlefield where large-scale cavalry clashes. If they are carried over, they will be a living target for others.

At this time, he was in urgent need of a gunpowder pot and went back to help Emperor Tian Zuo put down the rebellion.

A craftsman said solemnly: "General, as the saying goes, a slight error can make a difference of a thousand miles."

“Some things can become something else if you add something by chance, but we just can’t get that chance.

"We have tried more than 1000 methods according to the materials required in the book, the same ratios, several experiments.

But it still doesn't achieve the effect you mentioned, General. "

Yerunan's face suddenly darkened, and he was about to explode.

At this time, the general who came in with Yerunan said: "General, since the craftsmen can't make the finished product, why don't we go and rob the Song people? Isn't that what we did in the past?"

Yerunan held back his temper and said, "Didn't you taste enough of the Song Dynasty's gunpowder pot last time? How many sergeants could fill it enough? Do you know how many they buried this time?"

The general suddenly smiled and said: "General, fighting a war is all about the right time, the right place and the right people. Now the right time is with me, so why worry about success?"

Yerunan opened the curtain and looked at the pouring snow outside. It didn't look like a good day.

The general explained: "It's snowing now. As long as someone walks over, there will be footprints. The Song Dynasty people buried gunpowder jars, no matter how careful they are, they will leave marks."

As long as our army is careful, we will definitely be able to avoid it. Wouldn't it be faster to go directly to Shuozhou to capture the Song people? The snow is so heavy, the people of Song Dynasty must not have thought that our army would send troops, and they would definitely fight it. "

Yerunan's eyes lit up, yes! Why didn't he expect that it would be difficult to march due to the heavy snow blocking the road, but it also gave him a chance!

The craftsman also seized the opportunity and said: "Saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur belong to Yang, and Yin and Yang are opposites. No matter how powerful the gunpowder pot is, its power will be greatly reduced in this snowy day."

"If the general can get back a intact gunpowder jar on the battlefield, we will surely be able to reproduce the formula for him, and help him conquer cities and territories, and he will be invincible."

"Beat the drums and gather the troops." Yerunan ordered, he wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to surprise the people of Song Dynasty.

......

In Shuozhou, Qi Ke always came to the house these days to either bring some food or make clothes. Liu Sheng was very annoyed, but Wu Ze was enjoying it and Liu Sheng didn't care.

Ever since Liu Sheng arranged everything, he suddenly became the most leisurely person in Shuozhou.

Everyone had their own things to do, and Liu Sheng was free for a while. He decided to go to the military camp to inspect and see how the sergeants were doing.

Liang Shouyi came to report excitedly: "General, your troop training methods are very useful, but it only takes one week to transform them from civilians to military.

The way to make the sergeants have a sense of honor made these young men go crazy and train privately every day, and they couldn't be persuaded to stop it. "

While he was talking, a team ran past Liu Sheng and shouted: "Liu Sheng gave us food, Liu Sheng gave us wages, Liu Sheng gave us dignity, Liu Sheng gave us everything we want."

Liu Sheng nodded with satisfaction. Brainwashing was not that troublesome. Slogans were shouted and slogans were made.

Liang Shouyi didn't understand this, he just felt that he had no momentum at all, so he might as well call him protect his family and defend his country. Liu Sheng gave him a blank look.

However, he still couldn't resist Liang Shouyi's excitement. He had never encountered such a training method. It seemed that the entire army was like one person.

"In two months, we will be able to form an army. If we go to the battlefield and fight twice more, those who survive will be the most powerful army in the world." Liang Shouyi was quite proud.

Most of the soldiers in ancient times practiced every three days, some every seven days, or even every half a month, because their food and nutrition could not keep up. If they practiced every day like later generations, it would kill people. Practice cannot produce results.

For example, in a certain country, there is no belief that unites people, and there is no good food. They eat kimchi every day, and no one is willing to serve as a soldier. They have to train every day, and only ghosts are willing to go.

The basics of food are the key to determining military training. If you can't eat well, who is willing to put in the effort.

The training volume of Liu Sheng's army in one week was equivalent to the training intensity of the army in the same period for three months.

In this era, except for the Song Dynasty, all countries adhered to the principle of having elite troops, not many. The Khitan could only fight more than 20 elite troops, among which the emperor's exclusive Pishi Army had to be stripped away. This is the elite of the elite. Later, The rising Jin also has more than [-] cavalry, and there are iron floating figures to suppress the formation. Xixia also has tens of thousands of iron cavalry. The rest of the infantry are mostly ignored and are basically equivalent to cannon fodder.

Of course, this is also determined by their population size. The army maintained by the Song Dynasty alone cannot be said to account for 50.00% of all other countries at the same time combined, but [-]%.

Liu Sheng is currently taking the route of elite troops. Population, materials, and time are all fundamental constraints on him.

Let’s put it this way! If Liu Sheng had an army of 50 and ate meat every meal, his territory would have to be unimaginably large in this era of limited products. However, for such a large territory, 50 troops would not be enough. This would be an endless cycle.
