Chapter 30 Military Law

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]

"Not bad." Qin Hao praised the neatly-dressed new army.

After the end, he called Li Yi to his side and asked a very critical question: "Can you go into battle?"

"Your Highness, I guess."

Qin Hao saw his frowning brows and hesitant appearance, and knew the result.

He didn't joke with him. Qin Hao knew that the new army was just a fake. First, there were too few people, and second, there was only form but no spirit.

Generally speaking, it takes at least two or three years of training to achieve soldiers who are not afraid of going into battle and have certain martial arts and coordination abilities.

Of course, blood can also be used to speed up this speed. As long as they have experienced more than three battles and survived, they are elite. Li Yi's new army in front of him obviously did not meet the requirements.

"Let's try it." Although they can't really go to the battlefield, they can simulate to increase their abilities and reduce panic when they go into battle.

Qin Hao asked the ten Shuntian warriors who were training the new army to form one team, and Li Yi led more than 60 new soldiers to form another team. The two armies faced each other to see who was more skilled.

Although he had predicted the result in his heart, seeing the expectation on His Highness's face, Li Yi did not dare to speak, and secretly encouraged himself, saying that he had to give it a try anyway.

Both teams were preparing carefully, wearing light bamboo armor, cutting off the sharp corners of bamboo spears, and wrapping them with cloth to prevent accidental injuries.

Now it is summer, and the iron armor worn by the soldiers is like a furnace wrapped around the body. It will be unbearable in half a minute, even for the cavalry soldiers.

These days, Qin Hao asked the cavalry soldiers to change into bamboo armor, which is cool and convenient.

These bamboo armors are made by cutting down green bamboo from the mountains, shaving the bamboo into thin slices, and then boiling them with lard, and combining every seven thin slices to make scale armor.

The design idea of ​​this bamboo armor was proposed by Zhuge Xuan, who said that when his ancestor Zhuge Liang went south to conquer the mountain barbarians, he encountered rattan armor soldiers soaked in tung oil, which were invulnerable to swords and spears.

So they used local materials. There was no mountain rattan but there was bamboo forest, and there was no tung oil but there was lard. In this way, this bamboo armor was made.

Qin Hao tried it himself once. The bamboo spear made of bamboo also took seven points of force to pierce the bamboo armor, while it would take five points of force to use an iron spear head and a saber.

The cost-effectiveness is really high, so Qin Hao asked people to cut down the nearby bamboo forest and make a large number of this kind of armor with high armor and breathable, which is simple and easy.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everything is almost ready, and they are facing each other on both sides of the training ground.

The Shuntian death soldiers are still silent, and there is a murderous look in their eyes, like a tiger ready to hunt for food.

Li Yi's new army had mixed expressions. Some were so nervous that sweat beads appeared on their foreheads, some were excited and eager to try, and some were trembling with fear.

"Begin!" At the command of the referee, this small-scale duel began to proceed.

Li Yi's side moved first. This kid has made some progress these days and has learned a lot about battle formations.

With the advantage of numbers, the Shuntian Death Soldiers were surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and the bamboo spears were raised at 45 degrees one after another, making it airtight.

"Advance!"

Under Li Yi's military order, the new army marched forward slowly with steady steps. Everyone lost their previous voice and color. At this moment, they were extremely serious and protected the encirclement without any flaws.

The Shuntian Death Soldiers also gathered together, using the rattan shields in their hands to protect their chests and resist Li Yi's attack. For a while, they were suppressed.

Just when Li Yi felt that he might have a chance this time, ten Shuntian Death Soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

The sound was like thunder! Killing spirit spread!

Immediately, ten people pushed forward with rattan shields. Li Yi and others were caught off guard by the sudden attack and shouted, "Hold steady, don't panic."

But their formation was too dense, and the Shuntian death warriors rushed into a group of people, and the bamboo spears in their hands fell out of their hands.

As the instructors for half a month, the Shuntian death warriors really didn't hold back at all. They took the bamboo spears in their hands and killed these disciples. It seemed that they hated their lack of ambition. They stabbed them hard, and each shot left a blue mark and red mark.

"Retreat, regroup!" Li Yi got up anxiously and urged those soldiers who had not been knocked down.

When they regrouped, they found that the number of people was reduced by more than half in an instant, and only more than 20 people were left, while the ten instructors on the opposite side were not injured, and they still looked at them coldly.

The result is clear now. If Li Yi cannot defeat the Shuntian Death Soldiers with the advantage of numbers, then the following war of attrition will also be a dead end.

In terms of individual strength, Qin Hao now only has the Nord guards who can fight the Shuntian Death Soldiers, and Li Yi's new army is obviously not qualified. What awaits them is only ruthless killing.

This time it is the turn of the Shuntian Death Soldiers to attack. The silent footsteps and the cold bamboo spears are like soul-eating venomous snakes, which make people dare not look directly.

The result is self-evident. Even if the new army resists hard, the gap in combat power is inevitable. In the end, no one survived and they were all beaten to the ground.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Qin Hao applauded with a smile on his face, "Li Yi, you did a good job."

Qin Hao knew the strength of the Shuntian Death Soldiers very well, and it was normal that the new army was not their opponent.

But Qin Hao saw the spirit of Li Yi's new army team who swore to fight to the death. Although this was not a real battlefield, they were facing real dead soldiers. They had only trained for half a month, and he was satisfied to be able to do this.

The remaining strength issues will be witnessed by time!

"Li Yi, go to Li Guo tonight to get some bacon and some broth to nourish the soldiers. I am very pleased that you have performed well. If you continue to work hard, there will be opportunities in the future."

Qin Hao verbally comforted and rewarded them with material rewards. At the same time, he was determined to have more confrontations between these soldiers in the future, which not only looked exciting, but also could train their coordination ability and enhance their combat capabilities.

Since the confrontation was over, Qin Hao also planned to go somewhere else. These days, he was either fishing or training, and he did a lot of things, but he had not completed the system tasks until now, which made him a little confused.

When he was about to fall asleep that night, he recalled the scene of today's training and suddenly remembered one thing. Now that the army has been established, it seems that there is no clear military law, which is not acceptable.

There is no way to form an army!

Qin Hao first thought of the 17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings in ancient China:

First: If you do not advance when you hear the drum, do not stop when you hear the gong, do not raise the flag, and do not lower the flag when you press it, this is called disobedience to the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Second: If you do not respond when you are called, do not arrive when you are called, do not arrive beyond the deadline, and change the army rules, this is called slowness of the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Third: If you are lazy and do not report the fight at night, if you are slow to change the plan, and if the call is unclear, this is called slackness of the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Fourth: If you make many complaints, anger your commander, do not listen to the rules, and make it difficult to control, this is called instigation of the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Fifth: If you laugh loudly, disregard the prohibitions, and rush to the army gate, this is called disrespecting the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Sixth: If the weapons you use are broken bows and crossbows, arrows without feathers and arrowheads, swords and halberds are not good, and the flags are withered, this is called deceiving the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Seventh: Spreading rumors and trickery, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to dream, spreading evil doctrines, and bewitching soldiers, this is called lewd army, and offenders will be beheaded.

Eighth: Having a good tongue, making up right and wrong, and distributing soldiers to make them disharmony, this is called slandering the army, and offenders will be beheaded.

Ninth: Abusing the people in the place where they go, such as forcing women to have sex, this is called treason, and offenders will be beheaded.

Tenth: Stealing people's property for their own benefit, taking people's heads for their own merits, this is called stealing the army, and offenders will be beheaded.

Eleventh: When the army and civilians gather to discuss matters, they enter the tent privately to spy on the military secrets, this is called spying, and offenders will be beheaded.

Twelfth: If they hear the plan and the order, and leak it to the outside, so that the enemy knows it, this is called betrayal, and offenders will be beheaded.

Thirteenth: When they are called, they are tongue-tied, lower their eyebrows and bow their heads, and look embarrassed, this is called cruel army, and offenders will be beheaded.

Fourteenth: Going out of the army, joining the front and back, talking loudly, and not following the prohibitions and training, this is called rebellion, and the offender will be beheaded.

Fifteenth: Pretending to be sick to avoid being attacked, pretending to be dead, and then escaping, this is called deceiving the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Sixteenth: When the person in charge of money and food gives rewards, he favors his relatives and relatives, causing the soldiers to resent him, this is called damaging the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Seventeenth: Not observing the enemy carefully, not investigating the enemy in detail, not saying that he has arrived, saying less when there are more, and saying more when there are fewer, this is called misleading the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Of course, the above 17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings seem a bit too harsh, and too complicated, and it is difficult to implement.

So Qin Hao got dressed, took a brush and started to paint, simplified the contents, and after repeated deliberation, he finally came up with a satisfactory military law:

1. Those who leak military secrets will be beheaded;

2. Those who escape without permission during the battle will be beheaded

3. Those who harass and abuse the people will be beheaded;

4. Those who disobey orders will be beheaded;

The above "four beheadings" are to maintain the stability and combat effectiveness of the army.

In fact, there is another point in the army of this era, that is, the awareness is not high. After the army attacks the city, there will always be a part of people who hide money and refuse to hand it over.

When attacking Gujiazhuang that day, Qin Hao discovered the trick. Many people took advantage of the chaos to rob a lot of things, but he ignored it at the time.

Even the people will take advantage of the fire to rob, let alone the army. This is the current era, so Qin Hao did not raise the point of hiding finances. He will wait until later to make a final conclusion. It depends on who will run into the muzzle of the gun first.

Someone was called to Zhuge Xuan, who was handling government affairs, to discuss the matter. Zhuge Xuan also felt that this military law could be implemented temporarily, and it could be increased or decreased when there were problems in the future.

So the first military law was easily completed that night.

Qin Haoye asked Zhuge Xuan to write several copies tomorrow and distribute them to the whole army for study.
