Author: My spear is still here

March is high in the sky, and the sky is clear and cloudless. The old willow trees on Sentinel Ridge are slowly swaying in the breeze, casting large sparse shadows. In the far post station, there are brightly lit fires and shadows scattered here and there. Linyin Fort has successively added a hundred troops to Sentinel Ridge. For this

That’s a lot for a small place.

There was a lot of excitement here after it became the most advanced outpost. Several local families were very frightened when they knew that there was going to be a war. When Wang Jian arrived here for the first time, they cried in front of them, "We are the Marquis's subjects, don't you sir?"

Protect us!"

"We have always paid taxes on time. My son even beat up the Monkey Man (Zhongshan native). You can't abandon us!" Everyone kept talking without stopping. Wang Jian just said

I made a strong reply and retreated to Liangtingyi to protect them.

Everyone is very dissatisfied with this result. They hope that soldiers will be sent to protect not only people, but also their property and homes.

On that day, some people cried and fussed in front of Wang Jian, but he still did not change his determination and asked these people to move to Liangtingyi with their valuables to avoid the war.

Then he met Wu Yi and the soldiers stationed here, expressed condolences to them, and then returned to the second floor of the post station to rest.

After that, he left the post house on horseback, citing the need to check out the surroundings, and went to the old willow tree outside. He took out a jade conduit and found it about three inches above the root nodule of the old willow tree. After careful observation, he saw a large patch of

In the dark green tree spots, Wang Jian used the prepared chisel to cut a hole, then inserted the jade tube into it, and fixed a palm-high porcelain vase on the other end with a few stones he picked up, and then went back to sleep.

From such a distance, his consciousness can easily monitor him, so he doesn't have to worry about what will happen at night.

——

After dawn, Wang Jian took the opportunity to get up early to pee and put away the Xuanling liquid in the porcelain bottle. After collecting it all night, there was already a full bottle.

He took out the jade tube and put the bottle away, feeling a little more confident. With Xuanling Liquid and Qingsu Vine, he could make the Qi Gathering Pill.

With the Qi Gathering Pill, his cultivation level can be further improved, and it can also greatly improve the physique of ordinary people.

In the morning, he repeatedly told Wu Yi and others not to get entangled when encountering the enemy, and after reporting to Liangtingyi first, Wang Jian also left Sentinel Ridge and arrived at Liangtingyi that afternoon.

Sun Difang was already waiting for him in the Chinese army camp and reported to him the situation of the soldiers gathering: "Marquis, the first battalion to assemble has all arrived, including 300 soldiers, and is now stationed on Dongshan, divided into ten camps.

."

Wang Jian looked at the map in the big tent and said, "Add a thousand more to the ones at the back. There will be enough for garrisoning in the valley, and there will be enough drinking water to garrison more people."

Sun Difang nodded and said with some melancholy: "Most of the newly recruited soldiers are untrained and have no combat experience. Would it be okay to send them directly to the front line?"

"If you don't fight, you won't get any experience. You will have it when they survive on the battlefield." Wang Jian said coldly: "Send them here directly, I will train them, and they will also fight."

Sun Difang no longer objected: "I will implement it tomorrow, but it is expected to take about five days."

"No, I can only give you three days." Wang Jiandao: "Bring the people within three days, and pay attention to the food and grass supplies. If there are not enough people, I will send you extra."

"yes"

After arranging things, Wang Jian walked out of the tent and found Liu Yu standing there. It seemed that he had been there for a while.

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

"I'm about to leave to inspect the construction of the fortress in the northern valley." Wang Jian said, "If it's not a big deal, we can talk while walking."

Liu Yu was a little dissatisfied with his rudeness but didn't say anything. The two of them led the horses and walked north. The road that was once overgrown with weeds has now been trampled by the troops coming and going and turned into a strip.

The real path.

This reminds Wang Jian of the famous saying, there is no road in the world, but the more people walk, the more people will make it.

"Why do you want so many new soldiers? Prepare them to die." Liu Yu said as he walked: "But let me remind you, based on my experience, it is completely impossible to let untrained soldiers die, at least.

If the casualties are slightly greater, they will flee in large numbers."

Wang Jiandao: "I have my own way."

"What can I do?"

In front of Liu Yu, an important partner, Wang Jian had nothing to hold back, "Simply put, with Linyinbao and your help from the Han Dynasty, we can gather about fifty warlocks. This is a very powerful force."

."

"Don't forget, warlocks themselves are quite fragile and need time to pray." Liu Yu reminded: "In our army, every warlock is protected by ten elite warriors. Do you have that ability?"

"No, but there are other solutions, and being surrounded and protected by a group of people and choosing an opportunity to attack is not conducive to the use of the warlock's strength."

"What are you talking about?"

"Your formation is too primitive and backward, which is not conducive to the performance of warlocks, and there are many unreasonable things." Wang Jian said bluntly.

"What? Our army is marching south and north, defeating those we attack and subduing those we serve, and you actually say it's unreasonable?" Upon hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly became angry, like a kitten with exploded fur.

"I'm talking about Heyang's formation and I've seen the soldiers' training in Linyinbao. It has nothing to do with your Han army." Wang Jian was not afraid of her anger.

"They are all the same, but our soldiers are more well-trained." Liu Yu's face turned ugly, "The essence of what the soldiers shed their blood and sacrifice is not something that a layman like you can slander at will.

Don’t think that just because you have a little bit of bravery, you can be arrogant in these high-minded talks. In front of our Han Dynasty soldiers, you are nothing!”

Wang Jian did not continue to argue with her, "Look at the result."

In fact, from the first time he came into contact with Warlocks, Wang Jian discovered that their functions and power were somewhat similar to later generations of artillery. They took a long time to prepare and were fragile (it was difficult for artillery to protect themselves when they were approached), but they had a long range and great power.

Once it is put into war on a large scale and used properly, it can determine the outcome.

However, due to backward military concepts, warlocks cannot exert their full power in current military tactics. They are often protected by layers of protection and exert their power before the enemy approaches. Once they are in close combat, they lose their terrifying power.

Wang Jianze realized from the beginning that if he wanted the warlocks to exert the same power as later generations of artillery, the current formation was not suitable at all, nor were the tactics. Instead, it was a formation similar to the Ming Army's "Three Talents Formation" that ensured long-range firepower output.

This is the formation that can unleash the greatest power of a warlock.

For example, the Ming Army, and even many military formations in modern Europe, were designed to allow artillery to take advantage of its firepower. As long as the positions of the warlocks and artillery were exchanged, and then the tactical concept continued, unexpected power should be exerted.

This is one of the reasons why he needs new recruits. Most of the new recruits are a blank piece of paper, and they can train new formations from scratch.

This is another trump card of his, fifty warlocks, if he uses them properly, they will be like fifty cannons.

However, the threat still exists. He has the support of warlocks from the Han Dynasty, and there will definitely be many warlocks in Maling City. However, they do not have such tactics and war concepts, and their use of warlocks is also very backward.

——

In the evening of that day, Wang Jian accompanied Liu Yu and others to inspect the construction of the fortresses in the valley. Except for the largest stone main fortress, the construction of the auxiliary fortresses in front had been completed.

After seeing it, Liu Yu said to him, "I will report the situation here to Chang'an."
