Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Many people in Licheng are grateful to Liu Ye. More importantly, they know that even Jinan City has been breached. The more than 30,000 people among them are naturally doomed.

Therefore, the young and strong in the city joined the army enthusiastically for a while, and more than five thousand people signed up. Liu Ye selected the best among the best, and selected the middle-aged men who were over 18 years old and under 40 years old, and finally selected a third, 17000. More than a hundred people were incorporated into the army, plus the previous 1,300 or so people, a total of 3,000 new troops.

In fact, it is not appropriate to expand the army like this. Generally speaking, most of the army is veterans. In this way, new recruits will inevitably be nervous when they join the army, but they will naturally calm down when they see the veterans around them. A bloody battle can become an elite soldier.

If there are too many new recruits and too tense during the battle, it will affect the calm veterans around. But now that the war is imminent, I don't care about that much. We must reorganize an organized army as soon as possible, guarding the city and the military stronghold separately, and resisting the large-scale attack of the Yellow Turbans.

But it is worth mentioning that the recruits selected by Liu Ye are all young men from the city or who have migrated.

In fact, during several battles, Licheng also housed a lot of yellow scarf captives. Among them were many thugs and bandits. Quickly form combat power, but in fact Liu Ye is thinking about the long term.

Forming an army with yellow turban bandits has the advantages of fast formation and strong combat effectiveness, but the disadvantage is that the military discipline is scattered and the will is weak. The most notable example is the Qingzhou soldiers formed by Cao Cao's incorporation of 300,000 yellow turbans in Qingzhou. These Qingzhou soldiers looted everywhere at every turn, even Cao Jun's comrades dared to rob them, otherwise Yu Jin would not have caught them.

Moreover, the biggest disadvantage of these Qingzhou soldiers is that they do not have a strong will to fight. As bandit soldiers, they are all heroes when they fight with the wind, but once the battle falls, these people can't stand the hard fight at all. legs out.

But Liangjiazi does not have this risk. He only needs to be trained as an army and go through a few bloody battles to become an elite soldier. Moreover, they seldom run away in battle. Not only can they fight with the wind, but they can also endure hard battles. This is the army that can be relied on.

Later, Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his book Ji Xiao Xin Shu that the army should be formed from good families, and local ruffians must not be absorbed. The Qi Family Army formed by absorbing good family sons was indeed invincible. They listened to the propaganda and killed Japanese pirates in repeated battles along the southeast coast. The Qi Family Army often suffered single-digit or double-digit casualties.

Later, Qi Jiguang was transferred to Jibian and took three thousand Zhejiang troops with him. Later, Nurhachi brought the Jurchen iron cavalry to kill them. Big win.

But Liu Ye expressed his opinion, and Yu Jin took it for granted. He is good at training and leading troops, so he naturally knows what soldiers are easy to lead, so he agrees with Liu Ye's opinion very much.

Among the 3,000 new troops, the veterans and recruits were allocated to each team in proportion. Liu Ye immediately began to practice, just outside Licheng on the endless field.

What you have to learn is very simple, that is to walk!

Hearing Liu Ye's words, the three thousand new soldiers were puzzled, and some even couldn't figure it out: What is so easy to learn to walk? Is it true that people in other places walk beautifully and we go to learn, isn't this Handan learning to walk?

Liu Ye shook his head, turned around, and demonstrated in person, shouting one, two, one, moving his hands and feet following the command, which is the most basic marching in modern troops.

Everyone couldn't understand, Liu Ye was not in a hurry, but called out ten people and ordered them to follow his password. As a result, the ten people walked at different paces and did not form a straight line at all. Thousands of people behind them watched and laughed.

What are you laughing at? If it were you, who would be able to go well?

Liu Ye's face was solemn, and the Three Thousand New Army didn't dare to smile when they saw his face.

I know, you may be thinking in your heart, what's the use of learning this, can it kill thieves?

Many people nodded their heads when they heard this sentence. It is true. No matter how neatly they walk, can they still trample the yellow scarf thief to death?

Liu Ye smiled slightly: What you need to learn now is not how to kill thieves, but how to form an army. When you walk with three thousand people and move in unison, you will be the best in the world.

Seeing Liu Ye's training method, Yu Jin couldn't help nodding his head. Back then, Sun Wu, the ancestor of the military strategist, was training soldiers in the country of Wu. He trained two hundred court ladies, but the court ladies laughed and refused to listen to orders. Sun Wu immediately ordered to kill the two leading concubines. The king of Wu was heartbroken. , and the palace maid was so frightened that she could do whatever Sun Wu asked her to do. The first lesson was to walk, but Liu Ye was famous, so he didn't need to kill people to establish his prestige.

After a drill, the 3,000 new army unit practiced, and after a few days, they finally walked decently. When Liu Ye gave an order, although the three thousand people could not be said to be like a military parade, the movements of the three thousand people seemed to be one, but they were already moving in unison during the march, and they were quite organized.

After forming the military posture, marching and running in unison, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the troops to Yu Jin for practice. After all, there is a specialization in martial arts. Liu Ye practiced guns and boxing in his previous life and never served as a soldier, so he only knows about military drills. Although Yu Jin came from a poor family, he has read military books and knows how to practice soldiers and horses.

The new army trained by Liu Ye is neatly planned. After a few days of practice, the new recruits and veterans have gradually acquired a new temperament. Everyone's face is high-spirited but not hideous. As long as you keep practicing, After several bloody battles, he will definitely become an elite soldier.

But at this moment, a bad news came.

Xu Zang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he panted heavily, Brother, something is wrong! Now that all the counties and cities in Jinan have fallen, and the Yellow Turbans have sent troops to surround the main road, my scouts in Licheng can't reach other places at all.

Although all counties and counties in Jinan were exposed to the front of the Yellow Turban bandits before, and each county was trapped in an isolated city to protect itself, at least they could still serve as horns for each other, but now only Licheng has not been breached, and the Yellow Turban bandits have blocked the surrounding roads again. Come on, now Licheng has really become an enclave.
