194.Chapter 194

Chen Xu was still worried about the problems of those successful and strong men just now, but he didn't want Gao Shun to come over and join the Yellow Turban Army immediately.

According to Gao Shun's talents, it is undoubtedly the best choice to gather more than 1,000 brave men together and train them into elite infantry.

In this way, it is not only for these brave men to find a good home. can also create an elite foot soldier for the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army now has 10,000 elite cavalry, but on the battlefield in the Central Plains, the role of cavalry is far inferior to that of infantry. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the Yellow Turban Army to build a strong infantry force.

In the past, although the Yellow Turban Army was not afraid of death, they only relied on the spirit of not being afraid of death.

When they really faced the elite troops of the Han Dynasty, they could only exchange their lives for their lives and exchange their blood for victory.

And these are not what Chen Xu wants to see.

If Gao Shun can train a trapped, invincible and invincible camp like in history. This army is completely able to make up for the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army's infantry and insufficient combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Chen Xu had high hopes for Gao Shun, allowing him to choose soldiers at will among all the Yellow Turban cottages.

According to Chen Xu's thoughts, the more soldiers trapped in the camp, the better. But when Gao Shun told him how to train his troops, Chen Xu knew why there were only more than 700 people in the camp in history.

According to Gao Shun's idea, the team he wants to train will become all-round soldiers.

First of all, they were to be dressed in heavy iron armor, not the simplest kind of cowhide armor, and each of them had to be equipped with a round shield.

In this way, even if the archers fire thousands of arrows, the soldiers form a phalanx, relying on tacit cooperation, they can be unscathed.

Secondly, if this team encounters cavalry. In the face of the powerful impact of the cavalry, they can have the ability to defeat the cavalry with infantry.

Therefore, every soldier had to be equipped with a spear.

When the cavalry charged at them, they could build a wall of iron with round shields and aim their spears at the cavalry to form a dense spear position.

In this case, as long as the cavalry dares to rush forward, there will be death and no life.

Then, when the enemy is close, the team can still fight closely. Then each of them should be equipped with a big knife.

As an all-round team, they could never fail to shoot arrows. Possessing superior archery skills, these soldiers were able to take the lead in striking with their bows and arrows before the enemy approached their phalanx.

With such an army equipped with such equipment, their burden is absolutely terrifying. In order to keep the soldiers physically strong, horses must be used to travel on the march.

In this way, the soldiers trained by Gao Shun must each be equipped with at least a pair of heavy armor, a halberd, a broadsword, a war horse, a strong bow, and a number of arrow feathers.

With such equipment, the value of the equipment on each soldier is an astronomical amount.

Equipment isn't the most important thing, if the team only has equipment and doesn't know how to use it, they're just a moving target.

According to Gao Shun's meaning, the soldiers he trained must first have a strong physique, and at least be able to fight horses, close combat, and have good archery skills.

But in fact, the soldiers who can meet the above requirements are at least some small leaders in the Yellow Turban Army.

With such harsh conditions, the army that Gao Shun wants to form is definitely not too many.

When Gao Shun told everyone about his training plan, everyone was scorched by the thunder. Including Tian Feng and Cheng Yu, no one thinks that such an army can appear in the world.

However, Chen Xu, who watched the movie "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" in later generations, saw their shadows from Gao Shun's plan.

Even, the team that Gao Shun wants to create is more exaggerated than the three hundred Spartan warriors in the movie.

The Spartans in history, when they were fighting, whether they only wore underwear and did not wear armor, Chen Xu did not know. But the Spartans in the movie, each of them carried only a spear, a round shield.

With these, they stubbornly blocked the attack of 100,000 Persian troops. It can be said that everyone who has watched "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will be shocked by the way they fight.

After Chen Xu led the troops to fight for so long, he knew that the plot of the movie was not true. Although it is true that this happened in the history of Greece, at least not like in the movie.

Chen Xu did not believe that three hundred Spartans, wearing only underpants and cloaks, and holding only shields and spears, could repel the attacks of the Persian dynasty many times.

After hearing Gao Shun's description, Chen Xu believed that the team that Gao Shun wanted to create might be closer to the Spartan warriors in history.

Of course, perhaps due to the difference in cultural background, they will definitely differ in the choice of weapons.

……

Everyone was violently opposed, and no one thought that Gao Shun would be able to train such a team. Even if it can be trained, the role of this team is not necessarily worthy of the price spent by the Yellow Turban Army.

Only then did Chen Xu remember the description of the trapped camp in the history books: "There are more than 700 soldiers, numbered as 1,000 people, the armor is all refined and neat, and each attack is broken, which is called 'trapped camp'." ”

Being able to get the reputation of 'every attacker is invincible', which shows the strength of the trapped camp. Moreover, the number of people trapped in the camp was not large, and they repeatedly participated in battles, but the number of casualties was negligible.

Now it seems that the cost of trapping the camp may be relatively large. If Gao Shun can really train a team like the camp in history, Chen Xu still thinks it's worth it.

In the face of everyone's opposition, Gao Shun didn't speak, but just set his eyes on Chen Xu. But his clenched fists and trembling hands showed the unrest in his heart.

It was his wish to create such an army. For so many years, he has been studying everything about this team.

He believes that as long as he can train such a team according to his own ideas. Their role on the battlefield is absolutely terrifying.

Chen Xu closed his eyes and carefully considered the gains and losses, and he suddenly found that in addition to the high requirements for the soldiers, the cost of this team was not much more expensive than that of the cavalry.

After all, every cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army will be equipped with horses, spears, broadswords, bows and arrows.

It can be said that the team formed by Gao Shun only has more heavy armor and round shields.

However, it is these two things that have greatly increased their cost.

Both heavy armor and round shields must be made of iron to ensure strong defensive capabilities. And iron in this era is still a scarce material.

"It's good that the Xianbei Royal Court Danhan Mountain was emptied, otherwise there would really be no way to form this team."

Breaking through Danhan Mountain, the Yellow Turban Army captured horses, bows and arrows, broadswords and precious metals, and the number of them was not a few, and they could fully afford the trap camp formed by Gao Shun.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu got up and said to Gao Shun: "Yanzheng, I really want to see what this army looks like after being trained. ”

"I hope they can become the sharpest knives of my Yellow Turban Army; I hope that they will be able to attack the city first, trap the enemy, and behead the flag. ”

"So, I'm giving you the go-ahead to form this team and name them 'Trapped.'"

"The soldiers in the various cottage armies, except for those who have positions, I authorize you to let you choose at will."

"Once you've picked and decided on the number of people trapped in the camp, I'll have them build you all the weapons they need. I only hope that the trap camp will not disappoint me! ”

Chen Xu stared at Gao Shun's eyes tightly and said loudly.

"Trap the camp, trap the camp." When Gao Shun heard Chen Xu's name for the life of this army, he muttered a few times, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "Shun, I will never let the lord down!" ”

When the generals heard that Chen Xu agreed to form a trapping camp, although they were a little reluctant in their hearts, they didn't dare to refute it. After all, Chen Xu is the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and once he has made up his mind, there is no way to change it.

For a period of time after that, Gao Shun was busy recruiting soldiers from various cottages. After five days, Gao Shun recruited a total of 3,000 Yellow Turban elites.

When Chen Xu learned about the number of people recruited by Gao Shun, he was shocked. If there are only 1,000 or even 1,500 people in the trapped camp, the Yellow Turban Army can barely support it.

But Gao Shun has now recruited 3,000 people at once, even if the Yellow Turban Army has captured a lot of materials in Danhan Mountain, it is not enough to form a trap camp of so many people.

For this matter, Chen Xu also found Gao Shun and expressed his worries.

Gao Shun replied like this: "Don't worry, my lord, although I have selected 3,000 people, I still have to go through screening. Those who can't keep training will be eliminated. ”

"By the time the training is over, it's a very lucky thing to be able to keep a thousand people behind."

When Chen Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't want to, Gao Shun continued: "Lord, there will be a reluctant request in the end, and I ask the lord to agree." ”

Chen Xu is ready to form a trapping camp, what other requirements can't he agree? So he said, "Yan Zheng has no request, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Gao Shun said: "My lord, the training of the soldiers in the trapping camp will be extremely cruel. If it weren't good enough, I'm afraid many of my soldiers wouldn't be able to make it to the end. ”

"The last general also invites the lord, and he can raise the treatment of the soldiers in the camp!"

Hearing Gao Shun's request, Chen Xu hesitated.

It's not that he is reluctant to improve his salary, it's just that the trapping camp has just been established and has not yet made military achievements. If the salary is raised like this, I am afraid that the rest of the soldiers will have thoughts in their hearts.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said: "The treatment of the soldiers in the trapped camp will be three times that of ordinary soldiers. ”

"I only hope that solemnity will not disappoint me."
