Chapter 17 Dementia Training
Guo Hao and his men returned to Beifeng Village in a swagger. They seized quite a lot of things, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, and there was a whole cart of salt alone, which was priceless.
There were not only daily necessities in the carriage, but also many high-quality weapons. Guo Hao naturally accepted them with a smile. After bringing everything back to Beifeng Village and taking a short rest, Guo Hao led his troops on the journey again.
It's cold in the north and heavy snow may fall at any time. If you don't seize the opportunity and work hard, you won't have such a good opportunity next year.
What's more, Guo Hao could never forget the woman who committed suicide. He couldn't imagine how many Han people were suffering on the grassland.
It is unrealistic to completely liberate them, but Guo Hao still hopes to do something with his own strength.
Before the heavy snow blocked the road, Guo Hao went north several times. Like a pack of wolves, he hunted greedily in the Huns' territory. Whenever he found a lone tribe or Hu merchant, he would bite them fiercely and then evacuate at the speed of light.
As more and more things were looted, Guo Hao's heart became colder and colder. Small tribes did not have the qualifications to mine for gold and copper, so where did the huge amount of wealth come from?
Just thinking about it makes people feel cold. No one can tell exactly how much the Han people suffered after decades of looting.
Guo Hao's team is growing larger and larger. There are casualties in every battle, but more people will join in. They even bring their own horses and dry food.
When Guo Hao returned from his last robbery, people along the way even presented him with gifts to celebrate.
Guo Hao deeply felt the hatred of the Hu people in this land, and he was more and more glad that his choice was right.
Bingzhou has Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Youzhou has Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers, and Liangzhou's Western Liang Iron Cavalry are all dealing with the rebellious Qiang people. As for the Southern Xiongnu, as long as they remained submissive in name, the imperial court had no power to govern them.
Guo Hao became completely famous in Wuwei County. This was not his original intention, but it was the long-cherished wish of all the suffering people in the border areas.
No one accused Guo Hao of being cruel. Some just hated that they were not strong enough to follow Guo Hao into battle and kill the enemy.
Although the heavy snow blocked the roads, there was an endless stream of militiamen coming to Beifeng Village. Guo Hao softened his heart for a moment and directly opened the military camp to the public. All the militiamen who were willing to come here were trained to become archers.
Even if the militiamen did not stay in Beifeng Village, Guo Hao treated them equally and made things convenient for them.
Because Guo Hao understood that his own strength was just a drop in the bucket. When the snow melted in the spring and the Huns invaded again, the people living on the border would once again fall into endless suffering.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish .
In addition to food, it costs about 10 taels of silver to train an ordinary archer (strength 15-20), and even more to equip him with equipment.
Guo Hao invested all the money he looted into training archers and cavalry. Guo Hao couldn't remember how many people he had trained. He just felt that one group came and another group left, over and over again endlessly.
Seeing another group of students leaving, Guo Hao's anxious heart was hanging in the air again.
In fact, Guo Hao has always been confused. Unlike in history, the imperial court in the game has no shortage of equipment or generals.
Liangzhou has no shortage of young and strong men, nor does it lack courage. As long as the imperial court gives them a sum of money and assigns them a military training expert, can't they pacify ?
After training so many young and strong men with all his doubts, Guo Hao mastered many basic military formations without any instruction. After all, with the guidance of real-life military books and the blessing of his characteristics, it was not difficult for him to master some basic military formations.
It was not until this time that Guo Hao realized that top generals were not invincible.
His idea of hundreds of thousands of troops rushing in to pacify everything was also false. There was a huge gap between the elite and the ordinary people, and it was not just a gap in individual strength.
When soldiers form a military formation and their auras become one, they will form a fundamental unity, something like a domain that can effectively suppress the strength of the generals.
If a general attacks alone, a group of soldiers with a strength of more than 20 will desperately resist and may be able to kill the top general.
Therefore, military formation is very important to the army. If they rush forward like a mob, tens of thousands of troops may be slaughtered like pigs by the thousands of troops in formation.
With Guo Hao's current command ability, even if he had an army of more than 100,000, it was possible that they would be defeated by an enemy army of only a few thousand people.
With the added power of the soldiers, the strength of the commander-in-chief will also increase significantly. Similarly, the more soldiers he commands within his own limits, the stronger he will be.
But once the limit is exceeded, the more soldiers there are, the more burdens there will be. Not only will the army not become stronger, but the commander may not be able to mobilize the army in time due to insufficient ability, disrupting the formation and causing the overall strength of the army to decline.
The current commander of Guo Hao has at most 800 men. If there are more, he won't be able to form a military formation.
Small numbers do not necessarily mean weakness; they may also mean that they are the elite among the elite.
After Guo Haoming understood some aspects of military training and combined it with the information on the forum, he also understood how the world's armies were divided into different levels.
The weakest are the militia, whose strength is between 5 and 20.
Next are the ordinary soldiers, whose combat power is about 20-30. The archers in Beifeng Village who have been baptized by killing are exactly this level of troops.
Next are the elite troops, whose strength is approximately between 30-40.
He had no idea about the rest, after all, it was just speculation based on some fragmentary information.
However, what is certain is that Dong Zhuo's Feixiong Army, Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, Gongsun Zan's Baima Volunteers, and Qu Yi's Xiandeng should all be armies of a higher level.
No matter how you look at it, his behavior this time can be described as willful and reckless. He emptied out all the villagers' hard-earned wealth and even gave away a batch of war horses and weapons, which were all hard-earned silver. Now the matter is finally understood.
According to Mr. Guang's statistics, Guo Hao trained nearly 5,000 people and completely squandered the savings of Beifeng Village, but no one said anything. They all understood the significance of Guo Hao's actions.
Everyone respected Guo Hao very much. He lost his savings but gained people's hearts. Perhaps from a certain perspective, Guo Hao did not lose anything?
Idealists are absurd and unruly, but when an idealist stands in front of you, you cannot accuse this person of being unwise.
After spending all his savings, everything would be fine. Even if Guo Hao was willing, he would not be able to afford the cost of training.
But will everything really be over?
…
"998!"
"999!"
"1000!"
Guo Hao, with his upper body naked, kept waving the weapons in his hands. Every move was smooth and dazzling.
Ever since the road was blocked by heavy snow, he has been exercising every day to strengthen his body.
