Spring goes by and autumn comes, time flies, and another month has passed in a blink of an eye.
Since returning home last time, Li Kuan has temporarily stayed in the Snapdragon Riding Camp, intensive training. The soldiers of the Snapdragon Riding Camp spend every day in training, forgetting the time, just thinking about getting stronger. The 6,000 people who were screened out last time unloaded their weights, and they were trained by Li Kuan to make them more comfortable and effortless in the face of Li Xiaoyi's training.
The remaining 6,000 people finally saw the results. No one doubted Li Kuan's training methods, and no one dared to raise objections. Everything was proceeding step by step. In the second month, Li Kuan conducted the final screening, leaving only two thousand people, and all the others were eliminated.
In order to stay and receive Li Kuan's training, everyone went all out to compete. The first thing to investigate was the physical fitness test and the speed of climbing over barriers, as well as fighting skills and arrow methods, and even the ability to respond.
In the second month stage, Li Kuan has eliminated 2,000 people, and the remaining 4,000 people have gone through one after another to determine the high and low by fighting. The winner stays and the loser leaves. Of course, Li Kuan will not consider it comprehensively, and he does not blindly demand master fighters.
After layers of screening, Li Kuan left two thousand people. The next training was also in the Xiaoqi Camp, but the training method changed again.
"It's your ability to stay here. Next, I will divide you into five teams!" Li Kuan pointed to Qin Shandao, Fei Lian and the other five, and said, "From now on, the five of them will be your generals. Everything Follow their instructions. Now I officially introduce them to you five!"
"Fei Lian is out!"
"To!"
Fei Lian stood straight, and took a step forward without hesitation, just like the etiquette of a modern army. According to Datang's military rules, it is too cumbersome. Li Kuan still feels that it is simpler to use modern methods and stand in the army. Posture is also one of the ways to train them.
"He is our Royal Palace Army and General Mingwei. He is good at bows and arrows!" Li Kuan solemnly introduced, "One-fifth of you are in the Fei Lian team, which means that you guys use bows and arrows. Mainly, form the most powerful barrier."
Then, Liao Fan, Li She, and Li Zhen went out one after another. Li Kuan said: "The three of them are the same as Mingwei General Liao Fan, they are all our royal army, and they were awarded the title of Mingwei General by the court at the same time. Each has its own strengths and choose one-fifth from you based on their strengths."
"General Liao is good at fists and kicks, so the 400 best fighters will be led by him; General Li She is good at bows and arrows and horsemanship, which are also the essence of the cavalry; General Li Zhen is good at swordsmen, and they are all generals who have been on the battlefield."
Li Kuan cast his gaze on Qin Shandao, and solemnly introduced: "Duwei Qin is the son of Zuo Wuwei, Grand General Zuo Wuwei, and the son of Qin Shubao, Lord Yi Guo. Hundreds of people will be led by him. As for Li Dejian, the eldest son of Wei Guo Gong Li Jing, and he is also the military instructor for this training."
The remaining 2,000 people only realized that any of the six of them are distinguished, especially Qin Shandao, Li Zhen and other five who followed them in training. They have never complained, and they have long admired them. Their status will be more respected in the future, which is also the effect Li Kuan needs.
The identity of Li Dejian as the son of military god Li Jing was exposed, and everyone was even more amazed. Although they had never met Li Jing, they had only heard of his rumors, and they had not failed in the years of commanding the war, so they also looked forward to what the next training would be like.
Then, Li Kuan gave the five teams special titles: Fei Lian led the Chinese army, Li She led the front army, Qin Shandao led the left army, Liao Fan led the rear army, and Li Zhen led the right army. Jun, this was also suggested by Li Dejian based on his father’s training, and Li Kuan thought it was good.
Originally, Li Kuan intended to borrow the titles of armed army, infantry, and cavalry, but finally think about it or adopt Li Dejian's suggestion.
The next training was targeted. After 2,000 people were divided into five teams, the Chinese army led by Fei Lian focused on shooting. In addition to physical training, he practiced archery every day. Li Kuan gave him the request. It is to ensure that there are no false cases and to predict the enemy's behavior in advance.
The former army led by Li She was riding and shooting arrows immediately. Qin Shandao, Liao Fan, and Li Zhen trained intensively. Qin Shandao was good at using spears, so his soldiers would grow weapons and conduct uniform training; Liao Fan led Those who practiced fighting skills, Li Zhen focused on training short weapons.
Li Dejian is in charge of supervision, while Li Kuan observes the shortcomings. The two will convene Qin Shandao and others that evening to discuss improvements.
In one month, Li Kuan decided to allocate it reasonably. In addition to the daily physical exercises, he strengthened his personal abilities in the first ten days, and then spent ten days for cooperating exercises. The last ten days were to train the flexibility of the formation to ensure a cohesive attack. It's all invincible, and it's easy to attack by dividing.
In order to train the fighting power and unity of two thousand people, Li Dejian bowed his head for the first time to ask his father Li Jing for advice on the formation, and finally received the five-element formation taught by him. Therefore, Li Dejian explained the key points of the five elements array one by one, and started the training of the formation of troops. Li Kuan was not very proficient in the art of Yin and Yang and the five elements, so the array training indicated that Li Dejian was responsible for all.
During the training day after day, Li Kuan wanted to know the combat effectiveness of the two thousand people, so he boldly proposed that they should challenge the 10,000 troops of the xiao cavalry camp with two thousand. Li Xiaoyi was shocked when he first heard about it. He thought that Li Kuan was crazy. The situation of the enemy five cannot exist in military battles, especially after the two armies are lined up with great fanfare, unlike mountain warfare, which can use terrain cover, it can also ambush the enemy to defeat the enemy.
"General Li, just say you agree or not!" Li Kuan's unstoppable eyes made Li Xiaoyi embarrassed. Although it was a drill, he did not dare to bear the consequences when it was really fought. Casualties are inevitable. Don't let your soldiers kill each other!
At this moment, a familiar and firm voice came: "I agree!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Xiaoyi and Li Kuan moved upon hearing the sound, and hurriedly bowed to salute.
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and Wu Gonggong walked in after him. The battle for coaching is approaching, and it will be New Year's Eve in three days. It is now in the twelfth month of the winter. For soldiers, such weather training is definitely a torture, but they have never complained.
"When will it begin?" Li Shimin was also curious about where Li Kuan's self-confidence came from, and challenged 10,000 soldiers in the cavalry camp with two thousand soldiers or Li Xiaoyi personally commanded the battle. Although he is not optimistic about this drill, Li Kuan's courage is worthy of praise.
"It’s better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so how about tomorrow?" Li Kuan did not retreat and stared at Li Shimin. The result of the test tomorrow is not important. What matters is the process. Li Kuan wants to discover the problem again and correct it, officially. Meet the upcoming battle for command. (End of this chapter)
