Volume 3 Chapter 362 Temptation to Lead

And at the moment, those who are watching the "war" are not only high-level personnel such as Lu Ren and Paleus. In fact, to be more precise, Lu Ren arranged an open tactical exercise, allowing personnel from all walks of life to watch at will. To put it bluntly, the real purpose of such a tactical exercise is nothing more than to show off its muscles and show off its force value, so as to achieve some deterrent effects.

If it were in the modern world, this kind of thing would have been common for a long time, but it should be said that it was still relatively rare at that time. And the target of Lu Ren's deterrence is not only these Romans who feel good about themselves and don't know the height of the sky, but there are many people who really want to deter.

Let's put it this way, Lu Ren has always been good at stabbing soft knives, in other words, he has already played the "money-throwing tactics" perfectly. But Lu Ren knows very well that it is useless to just throw money, you must shine the blade in your hand at the right time, so that those who are dizzy by money can understand something, otherwise others will treat you as a wronged person and two hundred and five. The funny thing is that in modern society, there is still a group of people who think that they can just spend money, but they are wronged by others.

Let's start with the "defeated" Roman soldiers. While Lu Ren was beckoning Paleus and Hermes to eat and drink, while Ma Chao was busy preparing for the performance, these Roman soldiers washed off the chili powder on their bodies with the help of the personnel arranged by Lu Ren, and then entered the audience arranged for them, allowing them to watch the next performance while eating and drinking.

When a battle was fought like that, these Roman soldiers must have been very unconvinced, and some of the more foul-tempered guys were even more disrespectful to the receptionists. However, the receptionist had already been instructed by Chen Li, and he replied with a disdainful smile to those guys' difficulties, and the Roman soldiers didn't dare to go too far at this time, so the two sides were just that, and nothing happened.

Then when it was time for Ma Chao to perform, these Roman soldiers naturally saw the scene of the big shield phalanx being blown apart, and they immediately knew how much food in the hands of the Roman soldiers who were shocked and fell down. Others may be a little confused, but will they, the Roman soldiers, still not know the doorway? Insert yourself into the large shield phalanx a little, and imagine the scene when those arrows explode around you......

They are all people who understand, and they immediately understand that Lu Ren didn't really take them seriously at all. And if Lu Ren had moved his real character, how many of their five hundred Roman soldiers would still be left to sit here to eat and drink?

So almost in a short moment, the dining area of the five hundred Roman soldiers became silent. Those who were so shocked that they dropped their hands on the food slowly picked it up, and then lowered their heads in contemplation; There were also some guys who had spoken disrespectfully to the hostesses just now, but now they secretly glanced at the waiters standing next to their seats, and did not dare to say anything more. An honest person is a good bully, but if this person has a special skill, and the so-called honest person is just humble and polite, then it will make people feel respectful of him.

The Roman soldiers were like this, and the people in the scattered quarters were in different mentalities. As I said just now, Lu Ren's purpose in conducting such an open tactical exercise is to deter certain people, and Lu Ren's target of deterrence is by no means just on the Roman side.

For example, Nan Guishuang is one of the targets that Lu Ren wants to deter. After the original Guishan was reorganized into the North and South Guishuang by Lu Ren by a series of means, the Southern Guishan side has been cooperating with Lu Ren. This is no problem, but as long as it is an individual, it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings and inferiority, and this is the case with some high-level personnel in Nanguishuang.

It has been some time since the Kushan split into the camp of the North and South Kushan, and as some of the conditions in the South Kushan gradually stabilized, the inferior nature of some people broke out. Those arrogant emotions don't say more, just say that some guys actually naively think that Lu Ren is a two-hundred-and-five who only spends money, and they can ask Lu Ren as much as they want, so in the past period of time, these guys with brains in the water have made a lot of excessive demands on Lu Ren, and even some of you Lu Ren If you Lu Ren don't agree, I will mean what you Lu Ren mean here. Lu Ren's comment on this is, you guys, are you really wronged?

Out of consideration for the long-term situation, Lu Ren really didn't want to fight with these guys, but after the situation deteriorated, he was picked up by Bei Guishuang. But it is necessary to teach these guys a good lesson, so that they know what people should do, then this tactical exercise is a good opportunity to let Nan Guishuang's guys who have their brains in the water understand who is the master and who is the second between them and Lu Ren.

Obviously, Lu Ren's goal was achieved. Many people on Nan Guishuang's side wanted to ask Lu Ren for money, food, and weapons, so there were many people they sent to Lu Ren, so they would naturally see this showdown. Then again, don't look at the Roman soldiers who were abused quite badly, but the high quality and momentum they showed before they were abused were not blown, which made the personnel on the side of Nan Guishan think that they were inferior. But then being beaten into that virtue by Lu Ren's troops, the personnel on the Nanguishuang side will not secretly reflect in their hearts? and then Ma Chao's formation-breaking performance, these people were also scared. As for what they will say to those who have their brains in the water when they go back, it depends on their eloquence.

This is the case in Nanguishan, and there is a similar situation on the Asan Peninsula, so I won't say more here. In addition, of course, Northern Guishan also has fine work here, and Lu Ren has not officially fought with Northern Guishan so far, at best, there have been some small battles between the cavalry troops led by Ma Chao and Northern Guishan, so Northern Guishan is also one of the objects that Lu Ren wants to deter. It's just that with these performances just now, it may not be enough to scare Beiguishuang.

So Ma Chao has some performances next, but the main thing is to show the superb horse combat ability of Ma Chao's cavalry, and these seem to be not strong enough for Beiguishuang, who is also good at cavalry tactics. Because of this, Lu Ren still has some highlights to perform here.

On the battlefield at this moment, Ma Chao led the cavalry to complete performances such as riding and shooting, charging into battle, and then the cavalry withdrew and entered the audience to rest, and Ma Chao was dressed in military uniform, and came to Lu Ren with a high-spirited attitude.

In the words of the modern workplace, Ma Chao performed well in front of Boss Lu today, so no matter what Boss Lu says, he has to praise and praise him, and give some bonuses or something, right? And after that, I believe it will rely more on Ma Chao...... Ma Chao is not to blame for this, because basically as long as it is a person, most people will think so.

Lu Ren was also unambiguous, and some of the compliments he should have given to Ma Chao were not deducted. But for Lu Ren, isn't Ma Chao one of the objects to be beaten? So after putting on a few high hats for Ma Chao, Lu Ren arranged for Ma Chao to sit down and wait for the start of the next performance.

The staff on the battlefield quickly completed the work of clearing the field and placing the props, and then three infantry phalanxes entered the field. At this moment, the three people around Lu Ren, that is, Ma Chao, Palius, and Hermes, are familiar with these three infantry phalanxes, but they feel a little unfamiliar, at least for Ma Chao, he has not seen such an infantry phalanx in Liu Bei before, but Lu Ren's arrangement here has some differences with Liu Bei's.

The scale of these three infantry phalanxes was not large, and the number of personnel in each formation was only about three hundred. In the front row are guns and shields, and in the back are bows and crossbows in place. Without mentioning him, it was only said that after the order, the three phalanxes were advancing in unison, and when they stopped at the designated position, the spears and shields were put on defense, and the crossbowmen in the middle and rear rows pointed to the sky at a half-elevation angle.

Everyone is familiar with this, but the rain of arrows that the crossbowmen shoot quickly next is really scary. What's even worse is that Lu Ren took out a lot of family funds this time in order to scare people, so the crossbowmen shot all the explosive feather arrows used by Ma Chao's cavalry before!

The number of cavalry brought by Ma Chao this time is actually not much, only more than 300 horsemen. In the exercise just now, due to the characteristics of cavalry combat and the small number of personnel, the density of arrows fired by them was actually not high. But what about now? The total number of the three infantry phalanxes was about 1,000 people, and the number of crossbowmen was about 500, which was a little more than Ma Chao's cavalry in terms of numbers, and the infantry crossbows were much stronger than the cavalry crossbows, so the density achieved was almost three times that of Ma Chao.

With such a dense bombardment of coverage, the sound potential energy is small? And in the rumbling and continuous explosion, Ma Chao's face changed, Palius's face changed, and Hermes's face was even more scorched. As for the rest...... Okay, don't talk too much.

Next, there were performances such as the group charge of the infantry, and almost all of the spectators were watching intently, and it can be said that they were greatly shocked in their hearts. And some guys who still have some different ideas about Lu Ren are already thinking about how to lower their posture so as not to anger Lu Ren.

On the other hand, Lu Ren actually has some family backgrounds that he has not taken out, such as muskets, which have not been taken out for performance. It's not that I don't want to, but there are not many people who know about that thing in Central Asia at present, so in terms of deterrence, it may not be as good as the dense rain of arrows fired by the bow and crossbow group to scare people, otherwise how can there be a sentence "the ignorant are fearless"?

Moreover, Lu Ren always has to leave some hole cards in his hand, maybe these hole cards will be of great use when it is critical. Anyway, if you just want to scare some people, a dense rain of arrows and explosive arrows mixed with ordinary arrows are enough.

On the battlefield, the infantry phalanx had completed the group charge and razed the "enemy formation" to the ground. Lu Ren took the lead in applauding when he saw that it was almost over, and naturally all the spectators applauded together.

At this point, the military performance was over, and Lu Ren instructed Chen Li to do a good job of the aftermath such as rewarding soldiers and cleaning up the battlefield, and then led Ma Chao, Palius, and Hermes back to the table. One of the main purposes of this time is to influence the rigid tactical thinking of the Roman side, so after the performance is completed, of course, it is necessary to guide the Romans well.
