Chapter 742 The old battlefield returns(1/2)
Because Jian Yong wanted to see the battlefield where he fought against the army, Liu Bei saw that there was nothing serious. After telling Li Mengxi, Liu Bei took a dozen cavalry and Jian Yong to the former battlefield.
Today, the most important task for Li Mengxi is still farming.
No one can predict how many things will be encountered and how many things will happen during the farming process. Because of this, Li Mengxi specially led the farming team to personally participate in it, with the purpose of discovering as many problems as possible.
Half a day later, at noon, after walking for more than ten miles with stops and stops, more than two hundred people were divided into camps, controlled fourteen farming sites, and moved a village with a population of more than a hundred people. In total, they controlled
Fifteen settlements were established, and more than 10,000 acres of farmland were controlled.
For half a morning, no major problems were encountered. When the village was moved, the villagers had crops planted in the fields, but the villagers did not want to abandon the crops. The trouble was that they had promised to harvest the crops in May and June.
The villagers themselves, at the same time, had to relocate the villagers immediately.
Herein lies the dilemma. Who would believe it if the villagers were told to harvest the crops themselves, but ended up moving their families away?
To solve this problem, Li Mengxi adopted the method of bill payment, that is, according to the number of acres of land planted by the villagers, who planted how many acres of land, and how much they harvested, and then wrote bills and issued them to everyone.
The villagers may not necessarily believe in Li Mengxi's credibility, but when the grain harvest comes, the villagers will definitely be able to get their own quarter of grain with the receipts.
In the fifteen villages that came along the way, water problems still existed in the villages. One of the fifteen villages did not have a well. Every day, water was collected from the small river ditch next to the village. Although the environment was good in ancient times and the water resources were of high quality,
But Li Mengxi always felt that no matter how clean the water drawn from the creek was, it would be limited. Therefore, it was best for every village to have wells. For this purpose, a well-drilling team had to be formed as soon as possible.
The spring sunshine was warm, and it was not too hot at noon. Li Mengxi looked up at the sky, then looked back at the walking peasants. Seeing that the peasants were in good condition, he did not stop to rest.
After a while, a group of soldiers caught up from behind.
Li Mengxi was also surprised why a group of twenty or thirty soldiers followed them. The leader, a commander carrying a crossbow, came over and said that he had gone to the village for training on the orders of General Guan.
Li Mengxi understood immediately. He looked at the soldiers rushing over in surprise. He did not expect that the teaching team came down so fast. He was surprised by Guan Yu's speed.
The commander of the soldiers wiped the sweat from his head and was embarrassed to ask where the nearby villages were.
Li Mengxi quickly sent a ranger to lead the way.
At this time, Li Mengxi realized a problem. Julu's 100,000 manpower dispersed into hundreds of teams to go to the fields. The fielding team still needed cavalry to conduct reconnaissance and guidance. This second batch of decentralized manpower, this second batch of teaching teams went down
When training the people, cavalry scouts must be responsible for guiding and leading the way.
But thinking about it again, there are no more cavalry, and a large number of cavalry have been sent out for farming.
It seems that the coaching team can only slowly find a team on their own.
Li Mengxi watched the teaching team go away. He saw that the soldiers of the teaching team were carrying marching rucksacks, tents, quilts, firewood, straw, pottery jars, etc. They were all equipped with formal marching equipment. It seemed that Guan Yu had arranged it very carefully.
If the daily necessities are met, there should be no need to requisition food from the people.
Not placing any burden on the people is the key to the implementation of the military training plan.
The year is inherently bad, and the people in the countryside don't have much food. They don't have enough food for the whole family. Suddenly a group of soldiers comes to eat everyone's food. The people will definitely resist and be unwilling. If they are unwilling, it will be difficult to train troops.
Implement.
Li Mengxi originally wanted to see how the training team trained troops, but considering that the military training was equally important, after some weighing, Li Mengxi felt that it would not be too late to finish the military training first and then go see the military training.

Commander Zhao Jia and others arrived at a farming point under the leadership of the cavalry. After arriving, according to the organization prepared before departure, the armor took the remaining five soldiers of his team into the village to find people.
The rest of the group continued to follow the cavalry to other villages.
Zhao Jia led the people to the village. Not long ago, the villagers had arrived first. At this time, most of the people in the village went out to plant peas, and there were not many people left behind.
When the people in the village saw the soldiers coming, they were initially wary. When they saw the soldiers holding a flag with the word "Liu" in their hands, they asked again and found out it was Liu Xuande's people. The villagers' vigilance was completely dispelled.
After being invited into the house by the villagers, Chief Zhao Jia took off his luggage from his shoulders and took a seat. He followed the instructions given by General Guan before setting off and began to explain his purpose.
After explaining his purpose clearly, Zhao Jiaxiao was more moved by emotion than by reason, saying that the world was unstable nowadays, and learning some skills would save his life.
Following the prepared words, the villagers easily received participation training.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhao Jia took off the crossbow from his bag, picked up the arrow, smiled and said to the elder in front of him, "Uncle, let's go, I will teach you how to use weapons."
After saying that, he also said to the aunt beside him, "Come on, aunt, I will teach you too."
The aunt next to me felt very embarrassed when she heard this and quickly refused with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhao Jia tried to persuade her for a while, and then reluctantly persuaded the aunt to leave as well.
Arriving at the grain field in the village, Zhao Jia saw that the grain field was empty and suitable for use as a training ground. At this time, Zhao Jia thought of General Guan's instructions before setting off. General Guan specifically told him that when teaching crossbows, the shooting range must be properly arranged.
Otherwise, if the arrow flies and someone is injured, the villagers will rise up and attack, and they will be driven out of the village. This will delay the training of soldiers. It is not impossible to die on the spot.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia ordered his brothers to teach the villagers how to use weapons first. He walked up to the elders and asked if there were carts or wheat straw stacks in the village.
As a populated village, there must be common supplies such as carts and wheat straw stacks.
After that, Zhao Jia took a pitchfork and pulled one cart after another of wheat straw to the end of the barn, and piled a long pile of wheat straw on one side of the barn.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then, they borrowed several pallet trucks and removed the wheels of the pallet trucks and leaned against the wheat straw team side by side.
After finishing all this, Zhao Jia grabbed some wheat straw and made two straw men. He also found two broken pieces of wood, put the straw man on the wood, and the target was ready.
After Zhao Jia had been busy for a long time to finish the shooting range, he came back to take a look and saw a dozen or so elderly villagers. An old man took a long halberd and tried to touch and pull it, just like using a hoe;
An elder sister-in-law didn't dare to use a short knife, she just held it in her hand to look at it; a little kid was dragging an oversized shield and couldn't move it, but he was happily playing with it.
More than a dozen villagers, all with weapons, have been playing around for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhao Jia came over and said with a smile, "Come on, hold your hands, I'll teach you how to use these weapons."
Zhao Jia took the strong crossbow from the villagers. He first briefly explained the basic structure of the crossbow to the villagers, then put the crossbow on the ground and clicked the string with his feet, then put the arrow in, picked it up, and walked aside.
He took a brief look at the straw man at the shooting range not far away, and with one click, the crossbow string vibrated, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh.
A black shadow hit the straw man twenty steps away with a loud bang, passed through the straw man, and nailed to the cart behind with a loud bang, nailing it to the wooden board of the cart.
Zhao Jia looked over and saw that the crossbow was blocked by the cart. Even if the crossbow was not blocked by the cart, there was still a pile of wheat straw behind it, which was safe enough.
After loading another arrow, Zhao Jia waved to the villagers and handed the crossbow to an old man. Zhao Jia pointed at the target and encouraged, "Just shoot at the straw man."
The old man held the crossbow with some restraint, pointed it at the straw man, and carefully pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The crossbow string vibrated with a loud sound, and the crossbow arrow flew out.
In this first miss, the old man hit the ground and hit the straw man.
Zhao Jia praised the old man very much.
The old man opened his toothless mouth with a smile on his face and smiled silently.
After that, Zhao Jia re-strung the crossbow and asked the villagers to take turns to control the crossbow. Even the women fired a few crossbows.
The excitement on the faces of the villagers was visible.
Soon, when the people who were working in the fields came back to get the seeds after sowing the seeds, they passed by the barn and saw the old man tremblingly practicing with a crossbow. The villagers and the villagers were surprised when they saw this.
Zhao Jia stepped forward and explained his intention to the villagers, who were not opposed to the training.
There are eleven campers and sixty-three villagers in the village. With the help of the teaching team, they will be able to conduct drills in the near future.
According to the speed of queue training, one month is enough for more than 60 villagers to become familiar with basic queue movements.
There were six soldiers and eleven campers, making a total of seventeen people who were familiar with the queue. One month later, the number of people who were familiar with the queue increased from seventeen to eighty. This was an increase of nearly five times.
Double the military expansion.
——
It was already afternoon, and Liu Bei and his men ran for more than eighty miles and finally arrived at the battlefield where the rebel army and the official army were confronting each other.
Returning to his old place after a long time, Liu Bei looked at the criss-crossed battlefield with ravines and earthen ramparts in the wilderness. Even after a long time, even after being washed away by rain, the solemn and solemn formation of the battle that day was still undiminished.
The battle was in front, and there was no need for Liu Bei to explain it. Jian Yong raised his eyes and looked around. He saw long ridges of earth as high as a person, which were like horizontal coffins. They were laid there horizontally and horizontally. Each ridge was as long as
The lengths are incredibly neat, almost exactly the same length, from near to far, from left to right, from east to west, and all the ridges across the horizon are the same.
There are densely packed soil ridges, and there is a deep trench of the same length in front of each ridge. Between the ridges and the ridges, and between the deep trenches, there are intermittently narrow paths that can only be used by bicycles. The entire
The battlefield, to Jian Yong, felt like a huge fishing net stretched out covering the ground.
Liu Bei pointed out the place in the middle to Jian Yong and said, "Huangfu Song Camp is in the middle."
Immediately, a picture emerged in Jian Yong's mind - the army camp was encamped, surrounded by ridges as high as a person and countless trenches, and the only roads left were narrow paths that could only be used by bicycles.
.
Surrounded by such an iron wall, Jian Yong thought to himself that if he were himself, he would be unable to fly.
On the side, Liu Bei pointed to the battlefield and continued to explain, "At that time, there were car formations on the dirt ridges, there were also car formations on the narrow road in the middle, and gun formations were placed behind the car formations.
In order to prevent the official cavalry from escaping from the formation, our cavalry was scattered in various places and guarding behind the formation. However, some scattered cavalry jumped out of the formation, and our cavalry immediately surrounded and killed them..."
Jian Yong looked solemnly at the entire battlefield where the terrain had changed drastically. The combination of earthen barriers, trenches and vehicle formations was so terrifying that Jian Yong had no doubt that Liu Bei was really able to capture tens of thousands of soldiers at one go.
Liu Bei looked over and said to Jian Yong, "Xianhe, let's go and take a look forward."
——
Before arriving at the formation, Liu Bei and Jian Yong dismounted from their horses, walked to the front, and approached the trench. When they got closer, Jian Yong discovered that the low ridges of soil looked much higher than expected from a distance, taller than a person, almost.
Just like an earth wall, and imagine how powerful it would be to place a row of vehicles on the earth ridge, Jian Yong looked solemn.
The direction we came from was from the back of Huangfu Song Camp, so the ridge was in front and the trench was in the back.
Going forward along the narrow road, Jian Yong saw another ditch ahead. Jian Yong glanced at the ditches on the left and right. The ditches were built steeply and straight up and down. It rained some time ago, and there was water in the ditch.
