"Team 6, charge!"
"Da, da da, da da da~!"
"One two one, one two one!"
In the afternoon, on the school ground of the Xuanjia Army Camp, the soldiers of the Wuzi Battalion became the most eye-catching "boys" in the field. Team after team of cavalry, under the order of Sun Zhiping, launched towards a row of wooden stakes. He carried out "brave and fearless" charges again and again!
Although it was the first time for the soldiers of Wuziying to experience this kind of heavy cavalry charge training, they were elite soldiers from various guard posts before, and their ability and understanding were both superior qualities. Under the leadership of Sun Zhiping, and Li Zexuan Under the strict requirements, the teams behind them charged into the formation more and more neatly, and their momentum became more and more magnificent!
She is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit!
Of course, not every charge has to hit a wooden stake. Many times, Sun Zhiping will give a stop order when the team is about to approach the wooden stake. As for hitting the wooden stake, it is just a random situation, just to randomly test whether the soldiers can unconditionally execute the general's orders!
After all, every time there is a collision, horses and soldiers will be injured. This is just a daily training, not a battle on the battlefield. Before the battle, the troops are directly lost. The Xuanjia Army cannot accept so many losses!
"The order is still and uniform! The formation of Wuziying is becoming more and more impressive!"
Duan Zhixuan was patrolling the school grounds, so he naturally noticed the movement in Wuziying. After standing aside and watching for a while, he couldn't help but admire it.
"This is just the beginning, they are still far from being fully formed!"
Li Zexuan had already noticed Duan Zhixuan standing by. He walked towards the latter and said with a smile.
"Oh? Then I really want to see what it will be like to rush into the formation together when the W-Zi Camp is completely formed!"
Duan Zhixuan did not doubt that Li Zexuan was telling lies. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"The general can definitely see it!"
Li Zexuan said firmly.
The current strength of Wu Ziying is indeed not satisfactory to him, but he believes that after a period of rigorous training, Wu Ziying's combat power will definitely satisfy him and Duan Zhixuan.
"Um!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Zexuan, saying: "Li Shenjun, have you thought about how to compete between the W-shaped camp and the B-shaped camp?"
In fact, this is the main purpose of his coming here. Although the Y-zi camp uses the original training drills for training, there are many veterans of the Xuanjia Army in the Y-zi camp. If the veterans lead the new recruits, they can collectively form combat effectiveness faster; but the W-zi camp is different. It was full of "new recruits" from all the twelve guards in the capital. They probably didn't know each other before. In this case, it would be more difficult for them to cooperate with each other and form combat effectiveness!
So before the competition even started, Li Zexuan and Wu Ziying were already at a disadvantage!
Regardless of justice or selfishness, Duan Zhixuan did not want Wu Ziying to lose to Yi Ziying in this competition. To be precise, he did not want Li Zexuan to lose to Qiu Xinggong!
"The general was just thinking of going to the general to discuss the matter later, but he didn't expect that the general came in person!"
Li Zexuan hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists towards Duan Zhixuan and said, "I haven't decided what the competition should be. This junior general hasn't decided yet. The general has been marching and fighting for many years and has rich experience. I wonder if he has any good suggestions?"
Duan Zhixuan was stunned for a moment. Finally, he pointed at Li Zexuan angrily and said with a wry smile: "I saw that you agreed to Xing Gong so easily this morning. Did I think you already had a perfect plan in mind? Now you have come to me. Are you here to ask for advice?”
"Forehead… "
Li Zexuan pinched his chin in embarrassment. He had agreed so simply in the morning. Wasn't he forced by Qiu Xinggong? You can’t lose the formation if you lose! In fact, if you ask him to fight, he may know something about it. After all, Li Jing has taught him a lot of experience in marching and fighting, but he knows nothing about the competition between the two armies, which is similar to an exercise!
You may say that he may know a little bit about modern military exercises, but he knows a lot about ancient military exercises!
"The general has never been in the army before and doesn't know much about the competition in the army. Moreover, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin and Uncle Li have never talked to the general before. The reason why I answered General Qiu in the morning is This is the last general who has confidence in this new style of training. No matter what the competition is, I am confident that the W-zi camp will not lose to the Y-zi camp!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Zexuan cupped his fist towards Duan Zhixuan.
Duan Zhixuan was silent for a long time, and then he said: "That's okay! I know that you were not in the army before, and you don't know about the army, so I will tell you about it!"
Li Zexuan was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, General!"
"Go over there, let's talk as we walk!"
Duan Zhixuan pointed in the direction of the camp, and the two walked side by side. Duan Zhixuan began to preach: "In fact, apart from the battle between master and opponent, the most common form of military competition is hunting. Li Canjun is also a scholar, so he should know "The Rites of Zhou" The king recorded in the four seasons of field hunting, right
The king's four seasons of field hunting are respectively called Chunwei, Xia Miao, Qiu Yi and Dong Shou. The monarchs of each subsequent dynasty basically followed the tradition left by the Zhou Dynasty and used annual large-scale hunting operations to train their armies. And every hunting is a good opportunity for the soldiers of each army to show themselves in front of the monarch. Whoever hunts more beasts and kills ferocious beasts will come out on top!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved hunting in the field, and often took the troops from the capital to the deep mountains and wild ridges for hunting competitions. Later, the Han army was able to defeat the Xiongnu. In fact, it had something to do with Emperor Wu's prowess in martial arts... "
The soldiers of Yiziying and the soldiers of Wuziying competed in combat strength. In fact, this was a bit like a modern military exercise. Modern exercises are divided into two types: real guns but no live ammunition and real guns and live ammunition. Generally, confrontation exercises are carried out with real guns but no live ammunition to prevent accidental injuries.
Moreover, the casualty rate of the exercise is derived based on formulas. For example, if the Red Army plans to cover a certain area with artillery fire, there are two methods. The most commonly used method is based on the number of Blue Army personnel in the area at that time, and then uses the general casualties. The Blue Army casualty rate is calculated using the rate formula.
There is also an older method, which is that after the Blue Army ambush here, the people withdraw, and then the Red Army artillery fire covers it, and the Blue Army casualty rate is evaluated based on the actual damage effect. As for the casualty rate in military exercises, they are all allowed. For example, Li Zexuan saw in a post in his previous life that three people were allowed to die in military-level exercises. If the number of deaths was three or less, the leader would not be held responsible.
As for what ancient drills were like, Li Zexuan really didn't have a clear idea in his mind. In his impression, ancient military drills were more about formations, and the soldiers just walked around in formation, practicing and listening. The drum moves forward, at what pitch, is it fast or slow? If the drum is fast, move forward quickly, if it is slow, move forward slowly. It reacts like a dog when it hears any movement.
Of course, if all this goes awry, the consequences will be simple: the entire army will collapse. In the military formation, all soldiers have their own responsibilities and directions. Just like a machine, you do what the command tells you to do. Even if you are going through fire and water, you have to rush forward. This is just like the current situation of Wuzi Camp. The cavalry charge training is very similar.
But in the final analysis, the confrontational nature of this kind of formation exercise is limited after all. The two armies arranging formations against each other is not only uninteresting, but also difficult to determine the winner. Therefore, Li Zexuan never considered this method of competition from the beginning. .
However, Duan Zhixuan gave a good suggestion - Tian Lie!
Hunting was popular in primitive society, which was related to the extreme shortage of production materials at that time. When agriculture and animal husbandry were sufficiently developed to meet human needs, hunting activities also became abundant, allowing for military training, entertainment, and even talent selection.
When there is no war in the slave society, large-scale hunting activities are used to train the army, enhance the fighting skills of the soldiers and the tacit understanding of the overall coordinated actions, ensuring that if a war breaks out, they can quickly enter the state. This high-level hunting activity often takes advantage of the slack agricultural period and is initiated by the monarch, who organizes large groups of soldiers and horses to go out to hunt and practice martial arts.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, loved hunting the most and "chased wild beasts for fun." His civil servants described the scene of hunting and entertainment in "Seven Hairs": In the spring when the wind is warm and the sun is warm, riding in a brisk carriage, bringing people with them. With gorgeous bows and arrows, white blades flashing, flags covering the sun.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were many dignitaries who loved hunting and were good at riding and shooting. Li Er even placed hunting as equally important as national unity and national peace and security. Therefore, hunting was a very mainstream fashion among the upper class society of this era.
However, hunting locations are generally in mountains and forests. This kind of terrain is very unsuitable for large-scale cavalry regiment operations!
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan said: "General, this hunting is certainly a good way to show the strength of the army, but the hunting areas are mostly mountains and forests, so it may be difficult for the cavalry to form a formation, and our Xuanjia Army, as heavy cavalry, should It focuses on killing and charging into formation, while this hunt mainly tests the soldiers’ riding and shooting skills, which may not be appropriate!”
"Well! What you said makes sense. That's why I asked you to come up with ideas!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded without hesitation, and then said: "This competition has not even started yet, and Wu Ziying is already at a disadvantage, so the person who makes the rules of the competition must be you. If you are respectful, then Wu Ziying will have no chance at all. A chance to win!”
This was a disguised way of telling Li Zexuan that he, Duan Zhixuan, was on the side of Wuziying, which was why he wanted to fight for Li Zexuan's power to formulate the rules of the competition!
"But you can't set these rules too hard. Only when both of you agree, can the competition begin!"
After thinking about it, Qiu Xinggong added.
"The general understands what the general means!"
Li Zexuan frowned slightly and said: "About this competition rule, I already have a general idea in my mind, but it needs to be improved a bit before it can be truly implemented. I will perfect it tonight, and I will ask the general to help me with the details tomorrow." !”
After talking to Duan Zhixuan like this, Li Zexuan really has an immature idea in his mind, but the details still need to be refined and perfected!
"It's good that you already have an idea! Just present the rules of the competition you made to me tomorrow morning!"
Duan Zhixuan smiled and said to Li Zexuan.
He was very curious in his heart, wondering what new ideas Li Zexuan would come up with this time. After all, the new training routines just a few days ago had already made Duan Zhixuan's eyes light up. He hoped that Li Zexuan would bring him some more. surprise!
… … … … … … … … …
"Captain Sun, how are the training of the soldiers going?"
After discussing with Duan Zhixuan, Li Zexuan went to Jiazi Camp and Dzi Camp respectively for a tour. After all, he was a member of the Xuanjia Army, not the Wuzi Camp. He also had to know the training status of other battalions well. After returning from a circle, the Wuzi Camp was still conducting cavalry charge drills. At this time, it was not Sun Zhiping who was leading the team in person, but the captains of each team, leading their own teams to train together. He came to Sun Zhiping's side and asked calmly.
"Joining the army, generally speaking, they make progress every time they practice, but there is still a gap between the requirements for joining the army! And currently, the one and a half hours of formation training every day seems to be a bit insufficient time!"
Sun Zhiping clasped his fists and replied.
"Wu Dayong, Zhang Erhu, you two come out!"
While he was talking, the "Cavalry Charge" team that was training on the field shouted loudly to the two people in the team.
Presumably something went wrong when these two were training.
There are a thousand people in Wuzi Camp. When the cavalry rushes into formation for training, Li Zexuan requires every one hundred people to form a team. This can prevent people from fishing in troubled waters. On the other hand, if someone makes a mistake during the training process, the commander can easily catch it!
Those who are picked out will later form a new team and conduct individual training. When these people are qualified, they can return to their original team.
Only with such targeted training can these people be integrated into a unified group and form effective combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time!
"One and a half hours is indeed a bit short for them now!"
Glancing at the soldiers who were training in the field, Li Zexuan said calmly: "In this case, the Wuzi Camp will temporarily cancel the long-distance running with armor after dinner, and the cavalry charge training time will be increased by half an hour. Dinner time is accordingly postponed by half an hour!
After the soldiers are familiar with the formation training, then change the time back! I have only one request. Within ten days, the soldiers must be absolutely uniform when charging into battle. We are a thousand men and horses, but when charging into battle, I can only hear the hoofbeat of one war horse! "
Special matters are handled specially. In ten days, the W-shaped battalion will compete with the B-shaped battalion. Before that, Li Zexuan must not let the W-shaped battalion fail to practice the basic skills of heavy cavalry.
Sun Zhiping had no objection to this. He cupped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"
