Chapter 114: The Fall of the Jiangdong Army
Sun Ce made up his mind to set off as soon as possible and find some necessary talents. Many things must be prepared quickly. Isn’t there a famous saying that opportunities will only favor prepared people!
The first person on the list is this Zhang Ji and Dr. Zhang Zhongjing.
The second is Zhao Yun. Sun Ce has always been curious about his disappearance in the past eight years. What did he do in the past eight years? Why did Zhao Yun, who had been away for eight years, come out of the mountain to surrender to Liu Bei in 200, and just become Liu Bei's bodyguard. It's a bit similar to Gao Shun's current situation.
It was already the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the temperature began to plummet. The soldiers had already changed into thick autumn clothes.
Many soldiers from other teams have begun to withdraw their troops and return to the city one after another. All the things they can collect have been collected.
I can't really make the granules that will be returned to the public and starve the people to death. Needless to say, the one who starves to death is himself.
Sun Ce made great efforts for Yuan Shu during this period and gained Yuan Shu's trust. All the supplies he wanted were open and given priority supply. Just like all the craftsmen in the entire craftsman camp are now making armor and weapons for the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army.
Sun Ce’s previous plan was to take advantage of the fact that other troops had not returned and had no competitors. He first armed all his troops. When the other grain-collecting teams came back, the craftsman would definitely have no time.
After returning from chasing Lu Bu a few days ago, it was confirmed by Yuan Shu in person. The 2,000 infantrymen were also handed over to commander Sun Ce. These two thousand people were originally selected by Sun Ce from the Yangzhou army when he returned to Shouchun. After this period of training, it was quite easy.
It was exactly what Sun Ce wanted to be able to hand over these soldiers to him.
Yuan Shu’s thought was: “After all, Bo Fu is now a general. He can’t just take more than a thousand cavalrymen, and he is not as many soldiers as Sima from other forces in other forces.”
"If such news is spread, it will be a little bit of losing Bo Fu's face. If others don't know, they will think that Yangzhou is in short supply. If it is heard by the enemy spies, there will be a big problem. Besides, there are not many people in two thousand people. There are at least 20,000 subordinates in Shouchun City, so I am not afraid that he will turn to heaven."
The Jiangdong Army's armor change this time was not only the cavalry, but also made three and four-foot-long pitching guns as medium-range strike weapons. In this way, all attack methods from far, medium and near were available. (Sun Ce did not arrange the production of bilateral stirrups for the time being, and he believed that the time was not yet).
The most important thing is that the infantry's weapons and armor must be replaced. Gao Shun has the final say in the infantry's specific requirements, so that he can negotiate with Li Tiezhi directly if he has any requirements.
After the last time Li Tie had dinner with Sun Ce, he had already given up on Sun Ce, a general who had always been tolerant of craftsmen. As long as his orders came out, he would definitely be the first to complete it.
Just look at Sun Ce asking him to cooperate with Gao Shun, he was extremely active and followed Gao Shun every day. He helped Gao Shun conduct an armed test. As long as Gao Shun had some requirements, he would immediately let the assistants around him convey it, and the task would be completed without fail.
On this day, Sun Ce inspected the military camp and came to Gaoshun's camp. He looked at the neatly arranged army and listened to the loud slogans during the exercise.
Sun Ce sighed: "What a camp! It's true that he is well-known. Gao Shun is really a genius in training. In just a few days, the temperament of this group of veterans who used to be a bit fried dough sticks has completely changed."
Gao Shun, who was covered in black armor, saw Sun Ce coming, ran up and saluted seriously.
He reported loudly: "Report to the lord! 1,800 new recruits from the Jiangdong Army gathered here to train. I also asked the lord to give the new army a name."
Sun Ce was stunned, lowered his voice and said to Gao Shun: "Gao Shun, these people, Chen Wu and the others have also trained for a while! Besides, these soldiers have fought several battles with our army, and they are already considered veterans!"
"And your number is not right. It should be 2,000 people, why are there 200 less people? These people are all elite soldiers I picked from the Yangzhou army. Where did you deal with them? And have you not named your own troops?"
Gao Shun ignored Sun Ce's concealment and still replied loudly: "In Gao Shun's eyes, all soldiers who have not been trained by me are new recruits! Those who are not here are all those who violated the rules and violated the rules. Gao Shun asked them to go to the logistics management of food and grass! Please give the lord a name to the Jiangdong New Army."
Sun Cesong breathed: "That's fine, that's fine! It took so much effort. If we asked them to go back to Yuan Shujun, we would lose a lot. As long as we are still in the camp, it would be fine! You are too strict. In my opinion, they are all good soldiers!
Just when Gao Shun had already lost his already dark face and wanted to refute Sun Ce's words.
Sun Ce reiterated, "But I won't interfere with how you train troops. I will give you all the power of this army, whether it is the selection of people, weapons and equipment or training process."
"If you have any requirements, just say it, I will give you all the support you want! I just hope to see a powerful army in the future! Well! As for the name of the new army, it should be a trap. What else can it be?"
Gao Shun heard this, his eyes lit up and murmured: "Can you fall into formation, trapping into formation, charging into formation, be invincible?"
Sun Ce replied loudly: "Yes! Your name is Jiangdong's trap, you can defeat everything and be invincible!"
Gao Shun looked at Sun Ce deeply for a while, and he also deeply felt the lord's trust and trust in him. He nodded heavily.
Gao Shun turned around and walked back to the formation and shouted: "Brothers, have you heard that? The lord gave us a name today. From now on, our name will be "Jiangdong Clan Camp". Jiangdong Clan Camp will be invincible."
Countless loud voices sounded: "Jiangdong is trapped in battle and cannot defeat you!"
The sound seemed to break the world and destroy all obstacles.
The bitter cold wind blew, perhaps God was also indicating that this name was destined to be passed down through the ages and that the murderous formation that failed thousands of people finally took shape on this day.
Sun Ce looked at the strong team in front of him with gratitude, and looked at Gao Shun, the leader of the camp standing tall under the Jiangdong Lion flag fluttering in the wind. His figure wearing armor was so firm, not the deep and dead look that was a while ago.
Because he has a new home, this home is the hope he wants to strive for.
Gao Shun was always a responsible person. Since his marriage with Miss Wu was confirmed, he seemed to have changed his body and burst out with extremely strong energy. He either trained the battle formations of soldiers on the school ground or improved weapons and armor with Li Tie in the craftsman camp.
After practicing during this period of time, Gao Shun's famous generals really showed a powerful effect. The military formation had already begun to have an effect, but the soldiers were also exhausted, but they were all impressed by Gao Shun's soldiers. No one dared to complain in front of him.
Moreover, the generals have also said that they sweat more often in daily life and bleed less during wartime. All the soldiers who participated in the training gritted their teeth and persevered, so that others could not be looked down upon. As for those who could not persist or were dissatisfied, they were kicked to the barracks for chores by Gao Shun. Anyway, there was a shortage of people there.
After seeing Gao Shun's training method, Sun Ce couldn't help but wonder why it looked a bit like the training method of the special forces in later generations. He was simply using everything. Didn't Gao Shun, a guy, also came from time to time, but it still didn't look like it. When he asked him, he was just confused. What is time to time?
Looking at the passionate military formation in front of him, a sentence surged in Sun Ce's heart: "The elite soldiers are in hand, I have them in the future!"
