Chapter 565: Requirements of the Xianzhen Camp

After he calmed down a little, Huang Zhong said: "I am about to report to the young master that there is a certain person in Hongnong's army. Although he is a junior high school in the army, the dozens of soldiers under his command are quite well trained. I am preparing to report to the young master when he comes back. Young Master recommended it, but I didn’t expect Young Master to ask about it.”

When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he immediately asked nervously: "What is this person's name? Where is he from?"

"My name is Gao Shun, a native of Bingzhou. Although he only has dozens of soldiers under his command, he has the potential to build a strong army." Huang Zhong thought briefly;

"Haha... That's great, brother, send someone to bring this Gao Shun quickly, haha... This person's military training cannot be described as 'quite outstanding'. If my brother is good at training strong soldiers, then this person Gao Shun is good at training elite soldiers, and he is one of the best infantry soldiers in the entire Han Dynasty." After Huangfu Chaobo finally confirmed that it was Gao Shun, he couldn't help but smile up to the sky, and then said to Huang Zhong excitedly;

After hearing this, Huang Zhong was so shocked that he remained silent for a long time. He looked at Huangfu Chaobo again and again. After confirming that he was not joking, he immediately sent people to the military camp outside the city to recruit Gao Shun. While waiting for Gao Shun, Huang Zhong asked about the specific situation of Gao Shun. Unfortunately, Huangfu Chaobo's knowledge of Gao Shun was limited to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and various Three Kingdoms games, but he didn't know anything else.

After the two talked about some things about the reorganization of the Luoyang army, they suddenly heard a report from the guards outside the door. Tian Feng and Xu Shu were all outside the door asking for a meeting. Huangfu Chaobo felt strange and hurriedly invited everyone in. He originally thought that everyone had something to do and asked to see Huang Zhong overnight. Who knew that as soon as everyone came in, they asked why Huangfu Chaobo came back in a hurry and invited Huang Zhong to see Huang Zhong overnight. Hongnong's military situation is urgent?

Only then did Huangfu Chaobo realize that his behavior had frightened everyone. He quickly stood up and apologized to everyone, and then hurried back and explained to everyone that he had summoned Huang Zhong overnight. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. However, everyone also became interested in the young general Huangfu Chaobo said, and they all waited in the prefect's mansion to see if this young general was really what their lord said.

More than half an hour later, the personal guards reported that Gao Shun was already waiting to be summoned outside the mansion. Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered him to be led into the prefect's mansion. A moment later, everyone heard heavy footsteps outside the door, and then saw a young general in his thirties entering the hall.

At first glance, there is nothing special about this person, but if you look closely, you will find that this person has a serious face, neat clothes and armor, and rigorous steps. It seems that every step has been carefully measured, neither near nor far, and the sound of footsteps is loud and sonorous. powerful. He walked to the hall, saluted Huangfu Chaobo in a deep voice and said, "The Hongnong army is paying homage to the general!"

"Are you Gao Shun?" Huangfu Chaobo said;

"Back to General, yes!" The answer was short.

"General Huang said that there are more than ten thousand soldiers in Hongnong, but only a few dozen of your subordinates are considered to be in good order. The rest of the army is a mob, so I would like to meet you, the leader of the team. In your opinion, how to train troops, and what is the purpose?" What is an elite soldier?" Huangfu Chaobo asked;

"In order to train soldiers, don't train your mind first. If the people are united, millions of people can become one person. The general knows the soldiers, and the soldiers know the generals, just like the children guard the father and brother, and the brothers defend the leader, and I will always be victorious. " Gao Shun replied meticulously;

"According to your words, General Huang, Military Advisor Xu and others are all masters in the art of war, so what's the difference between training with you?"

"If the general trusts someone and lets him train his troops, Shun is willing to issue a military order. In three months, he will train a brigade of elite soldiers for the general. The soldiers trained by Shun will be called the trapped camp. The soldiers are not more than a thousand, but facing the infantry of the Imperial Guard With equal strength, they will be easily defeated, with twice as many troops, they will be evenly matched, and with three times as many troops, they can remain undefeated for an hour. The same strength of the Tiger and Horse cavalry can also remain undefeated for two hours." replied;

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard that they were evenly matched with twice the number of imperial guards. Three times the number of soldiers could remain undefeated for an hour. They could also withstand the same number of tiger and horse cavalry for two hours without defeat. Such elites would not be defeated after a stalemate in the war. On this occasion, attacking the enemy's position will ultimately determine the success or failure of the war.

"That man is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue!" At this moment, a rough voice came from outside the door. Even if you didn't listen, you would know that it was Dian Wei rushing over. He was Huangfu Chaobo's bodyguard general, but This time, due to the reorganization of troops and horses, he was needed to assist Huang Zhong, so he did not go to Hongnong together. At this time, he was inspecting the military camp outside the city. When he heard the news that Huangfu Chaobo was back, he rushed back immediately and happened to be listening outside the door. When it came to Gao Shun's words, he couldn't help but shout.

Gao Shun was still calm-hearted, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "If the general and you all don't believe it, I will submit a military order. If not, I will be dealt with by military law."

Dian Wei was about to say something more, but Huangfu Chaobo stopped him and said, "How do you need this general to support you?"

Hearing Huangfu Chaobo's words, Gao Shun's eyes flashed with excitement, but it quickly passed away. Then he explained his requirements to Huangfu Chaobo one by one. Every time he said something, everyone's mouths opened wider. After listening to what he said, everyone knew why he said that he had less than a thousand soldiers. People.

Gao Shun's first requirement was a height of seven feet and five inches. According to the conscription standard of the Han Dynasty, it was six feet and two inches, which is equivalent to about 1.5 meters now, but Gao Shun's requirement was raised to 1.78 meters. Then there are weight, arm length, and leg length, which are the most basic. There are also requirements for how much weight can be carried, how far to travel, and whether to participate in the battle after reaching the destination. There are also requirements for weapons. In order to determine what kind of weapons he needs, Huangfu Chaobo ordered all the existing weapons and equipment in Luoyang to be brought to him for selection.

As a result, Gao Shun chose the iron armor of the heavy infantry, the long spear of the imperial guards spearmen, the waist sword and shield of the imperial guards sword and shield soldiers, and then picked out a two-stone large yellow crossbow that had just been made not long ago and had just been taken from Luoshen Town. After choosing these, Gao Shun said that these equipment were barely enough. If the Xianzhen Camp was to exert its maximum combat power, it would be best to customize the equipment separately.

Take the heavy armor of the heavy infantry for example. According to him, this set of heavy armor is still sufficient in terms of defense, but it is a little heavy in terms of weight. Huangfu Chaobo originally said that the heavy armor is definitely heavy, but the defense is good enough.

But he was blocked by Gao Shun's words. Gao Shun said that if the weight of the heavy armor can be reduced by 20% to 30%, he is sure that the trap camp can hold out for one more hour under the attack of three times the number of guards. This sentence made everyone silent. There are also spears and shields. The attack and defense are still sufficient, but if they can be done better...
