Chapter 70

~6 min read 1,033 words

When it comes to the strongest infantry, none other than the Trap Camp.

Gu Yi wanted to carry out military reform, so he naturally needed to train some new soldiers.

Thus, he set his sights on the Trap Camp.

As everyone knows.

The leader of the Trap Camp, Gao Shun, is loyal to Lu Bu.

Even if he was captured at Baimenlou in history, he was still loyal and unyielding, unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao.

At the current stage.

If Gu Yi directly bypassed Lu Bu to win over Gao Shun, then don't even think about it, it would definitely fail.

Therefore, Gu Yi might as well come directly to Lu Bu and apply to borrow Gao Shun.

It's awkward to say, but Gao Shun's current position is only a thousand-man commander.

In the Bingzhou system, although he is considered an important general.

But placed in the entire Dong Zhuo army, it is really not enough.

"Alright, since you want to train infantry, it's not a big deal."

"I'll lend Gao Shun to you."

Lu Bu agreed.

If Gu Yi asked him for the training method of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Lu Bu would probably refuse immediately.

But the Trap Camp...

To be honest, Lu Bu really didn't value this army much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only allocated the establishment of seven hundred Trap Camp soldiers to Gao Shun.

"General Fengxian, don't worry."

"This training of the new army has already been approved by the Prime Minister."

"If General Gao participates in it, it will be considered a significant contribution, and his position will at least be promoted to captain."

Gu Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Bu instantly became energetic!

He himself is currently a General of the Household, with an official position above the miscellaneous generals.

But everyone else under his command, except for Zhang Liao who was just promoted to a miscellaneous general, basically remained thousand-man commanders.

Not even a single captain.

You must know.

Things like training soldiers on weekdays.

Basically can only be considered the duty of a military general.

It cannot be called a contribution, let alone be compared with military merit.

If sending Gao Shun to help Gu Yi train soldiers could promote him to captain, that would indeed be a good choice.

Bidding farewell to Lu Bu, Gu Yi took Lu Bu's order and went to the military camp to find Gao Shun.

The two had met at Hulao Pass before.

But they had no communication.

At this moment, Gu Yi took the opportunity to chat with Gao Shun.

Gao Shun didn't say much and was very steady in his work.

Not only did he have his own insights into fighting.

In terms of training soldiers, he was even more superb.

In modern terms, this is called "a man of few words but great action"!

Knowing that this was a task given to him by Lu Bu, Gao Shun followed Gu Yi and left the Bingzhou army camp.

Immediately, Gu Yi took Gao Shun to Han Hao.

Besides Huang Zhong, Gu Yi had three younger brothers under his command.

This time, Zhao Yun and Zhang He had both followed Xu Rong on the expedition.

Only Han Hao remained in Chang'an.

It's not that Han Hao is not powerful, but Gu Yi had other tasks to give him.

In terms of martial strength and fighting ability, Zhao Yun and Zhang He would definitely crush Han Hao.

But when it comes to training soldiers, Han Hao is not inferior.

Historically, the reason the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao were able to be trained was largely due to Han Hao.

Gu Yi planned to carry out military reform.

At the same time, he used this opportunity to train a new elite infantry.

To facilitate future attacks on Hanzhong and Yizhou.

He asked Dong Zhuo for an establishment of three thousand people.

And these three thousand soldiers were currently under Han Hao's command.

Gao Shun and Han Hao both had great talent in the way of training soldiers.

After meeting, the two soon began to exchange various professional terms.

Making Gu Yi, a layman, unable to understand many places.

However, although Gu Yi couldn't understand the professional terms of training soldiers.

But he possessed the Mo Dao and the divine arm crossbow, two great killing weapons that shouldn't have appeared in this era!

It had been some time since the capital was moved to Chang'an.

Gu Yi ordered the blacksmiths to forge these two great killing weapons according to the forging manuals.

Although they were not perfect versions yet.

They already had the style that these two great killing weapons should have possessed.

When Han Hao and Gao Shun had finished their exchange.

Gu Yi sent someone to bring the divine arm crossbow and the Mo Dao.

In an instant.

The gazes of Han Hao and Gao Shun were firmly attracted.

"This... what is this?"

Even though the two were well-informed.

But seeing these two weapons that didn't exist in the world, they were also confused and at a loss for a moment.

The divine arm crossbow was relatively better.

After all, it had the prototype of a bow and arrow, just improved a lot.

But the Mo Dao was completely different from the sword-type weapons of this era.

"This object is called the divine arm crossbow."

"This object is called the Mo Dao."

"I intend to arm the new army with these two pieces of equipment."

Gu Yi said.

Hearing this, Gao Shun and Han Hao looked at each other, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Finally, Gao Shun spoke:

"Sir, forgive me for being blunt."

"I don't know the specific lethality of these two pieces of equipment."

"Especially this Mo Dao."

"It looks quite heavy."

"If the soldiers are equipped with it."

"I'm afraid they won't be able to wear heavy armor anymore."

Gao Shun's worry was not unreasonable.

The historically formed Great Tang Mo Dao team didn't wear heavy armor but light armor or leather armor.

Otherwise, the soldiers' load would exceed the limit of their bodies.

I'm afraid that instead of being able to kill the enemy, they would trap themselves.
