Chapter 32: Steward Chu's Confidence

Seeing Tang Ning coming, Gao Shu asked his generals to take everyone to run. He walked to Tang Ning's side and said: "This person's foundation is okay, as long as they are given enough training time, they can become good players in the Pingxia camp." ”

Tang Ning handed over a piece of snack, but Gao Shu refused. He didn't care, he put the snack in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's a pity that we can't make bone broth for them every day, if you can use bone broth to give them a base, I guess you can find a more suitable person." ”

"yes." Gao Shu wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and said, "But this is also something that can't be helped." ”

After that, Gao Shu said to the soldiers who were training in front of him: "Give me another month, and I will be able to train them." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I really want to help you, but time doesn't allow it." At most, next week, you'll have to go. The soldiers are very fast, and if we delay any longer, we will talk a little, and think about it with our heads down. Finally, he raised his head and said, "Got it." ”

Tang Ning came over to talk to Gao Shu about it, and secondly, to come and see the training results of the Pingxia camp. Qi Fu and the others followed behind, and Tang Ning walked with his hands behind his back while waving at the soldiers.

Physical training in the summer camp is carried out once a day in the morning and evening, and at this time, the ongoing training is the use of various weapons.

Because Tang Ning had long made up his mind to build the Pingxia Camp into a special force, there were many new weapons in the Pingxia Camp.

The grenade was one of them, and the whirlwind artillery was originally intended to be equipped for the Pingxia battalion, but most of the Pingxia battalion were infantry, which was not very suitable for the whirlwind artillery, so a cavalry of four hundred people was formed with inferior horses and carried the whirlwind artillery to fight.

In addition to grenades, there are also repeaters, which are the proud work of the general. The Divine Arm Crossbow has always been the standard configuration of the Great Song Dynasty crossbowmen, this thing has a long range and high lethality, and ordinary iron armor can't carry an arrow from the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Based on the Divine Arm Crossbow, he transformed a repeater that can shoot six shots in a row. The lethality and armor-piercing strength have been reduced, and the reload time has become longer, but it is lighter, and you don't have to lie on the ground to kick the arrows.

In general, crossbowmen prefer this new type of Divine Arm Crossbow. In particular, the crossbowmen in the Zhenjiang army, with the idea of destroying the enemy on the offensive path, shooting six arrows at a time is simply a fantastic weapon.

What kind of lethality, what armor-piercing strength is just like that, anyway, it's going to be ejected, it doesn't matter what.

In addition, there are daggers with blood grooves, climbing tools, etc., and every soldier of the Pingxia Battalion must be proficient in the use of various props.

After watching it for a while, Tang Ning left satisfied. For soldiers, the main thing is training. Formation and tactics are secondary in the end, because of these two

There will always be changes due to the influence of certain external factors.

Zhao Xu asked Tang Ning a long time ago how to strengthen the army. Downing's answer was, train, train, or train. Only non-stop training can keep the soldiers fighting hard. Although this is very boring and mundane, this is the most effective way to strengthen the army.

………………

A week later, the Song army in Guangyuan City began to move. After receiving a round of supplies, the Song army rushed towards the southern city of Jiaozhi.

Replacing Li Changjie, the general of Jiaozhi who defended the Song army was Fan Richeng, what this person was best at was defense, giving him a city and letting him defend against enemies several times his own.

Li Deqian sent him to replace Li Changjie, but he didn't want him to do anything else, as long as he defended the Song army, it would be a great achievement.

The Song army left 10,000 to garrison Guangyuan City, and the remaining 90,000 troops were already on their way south. After receiving the information, Fan Richeng thought about it for a while, and ordered all the Jiaozhi soldiers near Guangyuan City to withdraw.

There were less than 10,000 Jiaozhi soldiers near Guangyuan City, and it was definitely impossible to attack Guangyuan City.

In this way, it is better to transfer them all back and shrink their forces to defend against the upcoming offensive of the Song army.

So after finding that there were no more Jiaozhi soldiers nearby, Gao Shu led the Pingxia camp, brought a week's rations, and headed for Thang Long Mansion.

A week's time was too tight for Gao Shu, whether it was the training time Tang Ning gave him, or the time his own rations could sustain him.

Shenglong Mansion is not close to Guangyuan City, and the army walks on their feet, even if they don't sleep, they have to walk for half a month to get there. This is still under the guidance of Steward Chu, and only by taking a shortcut can there be this speed.

After seven days, where do you find food? This has naturally become a question on everyone's minds.

But Steward Chu showed a smile that was in his hands.

Three days later, the camp entered a jungle again. In order to prevent the bite of poisonous insects, the armor and boots on each of them were smoked with sulfur.

Although the soldiers who had a lot of flavor couldn't stand it themselves, the effect was very good.

Steward Chu seems to be very familiar with this jungle. The familiar car led everyone to an open area, and then, a banana forest appeared in front of him.

There are banana trees everywhere, and the trees are full of yellow bananas. However, most of them are a little green, so it's best to leave them for a while.

Gao Shu then understood what was going on with Steward Chu's smile, it turned out that in this jungle, there was such a good place.

"Hehe, High Commander, with these, the army should not have to worry about food for a while, right? Seven or eight days further on, there is another Jiaozhi escape

small village.

Every time the caravan of the Divine Family came here, they would send them something, and the only condition was that they should prepare some food in case they needed it. ”

Gao Shu arched his hand and said with great admiration: "The junior now knows why General Tang is looking for you." Without you, we'd starve to death on the way. ”

Steward Chu waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated, the high-level commander is also an extraordinary man, and he can always find a way." ”

Gao Shu smiled, turned his head to look at the bananas on the tree, touched his chin and said, "I remember eating something at General Tang's house before, and he called it dried bananas."

It is said that it is made from dried bananas......"

Steward Chu smiled: "It will take at least two days for that thing to be made, and it depends on the weather." The old man thinks, it's better not to do this, right? ”

"But dried bananas can be stored for a long time, which can also be used as rations in the army...... Forget it, two days is too long, and I can't afford to delay. ”

After a long sigh, Gao Shu ordered the soldiers to go and pick bananas. Each person took two handfuls as a ration for two days, and then continued towards Thang Long Province.

At the same time, Downing also began to engage Van Il Sung's army.

In view of the fact that the Song army had killed more than 30 war elephants with eight-ox crossbows and gunpowder, the Jiaozhi people were reluctant to take out the war elephants when they faced the Song people again.

That's fine, although the war elephant can be killed with an eight-ox crossbow arrow, but an eight-ox crossbow arrow costs a lot, and it will be blown up to the point that it cannot be recovered if it is loaded with gunpowder.

Although there were 90,000 soldiers under his command, more than half of them were here to mix. There are many people here who have never even fought before, and Tang Ning does not dare to let them fight.

In case someone finds out the truth, it is you who suffers.

In the end, Tang Ning was depressed and found that the person who could really pull out and fight was the person he brought in the first place. Fortunately, the opponent's attack is zero, and the initiative is still in his own hands.

On the one hand, he organized his subordinates to harass Fan Richeng's army, and on the other hand, Tang Ning was also worried about Gao Shu's progress.

5,000 people went to attack Thang Long Mansion, and I don't know if it will succeed. If it fails, I am afraid that none of these 5,000 people will come back.

Is this decision right or wrong? Now no one knows. I can only hope that Gao Shu will successfully complete the task, and then he will turn his head and go to Thang Long Mansion, and after emptying the Jiaozhi Treasury, he will immediately go back to his home, and the mosquitoes in this broken place are almost half a fist, and it will be swollen for several days if he bites a bag.

If it weren't for Pei Xiantong's secret recipe to prevent mosquitoes, he would have been sucked dry by mosquitoes by now.
