Chapter 1: The Training of the Eagle Guard
This is the fifty-fourth day that Jiang Chen came to the north, and he didn't know that after he left Kyoto, his mother Zhao Qin'er traveled to the Xia Geng clan country in order to cover up his life experience, and cleared a crisis caused by him for him. And Zhao Qin'er did not mention this matter in the letters exchanged with Jiang Chen, but only told him to be careful.
And he had been immersed in thinking about the training method for the Eagle Guard all these days, and he had no time to care about anything else. Jiang Chen completely put aside the training method of the air force of his predecessors, because it was no longer suitable for the era of war after the appearance of the spirit cannon, and he had to find a combat method suitable for the modern air force by himself, which was already a preliminary prototype.
In addition to the regular military training with the special squad of martial arts, the Eagle Guard led by him has also had a secret training system of its own, which was figured out by the young Eagle Guard themselves, and it is still in the exploration stage, so it is secret that this set of training methods for the special military branch of the Eagle Guard is kept secret.
At the beginning, Zhao Lingyun saw that Jiang Chen admired the theory of rapid warfare so much, and remembered that in the era when the spirit cannon did not appear, there was a military branch that was famous in that era, and it was the standing army of various countries at that time, and they roared in the sky, coming and going like the wind. However, after the appearance of large-scale spirit cannons, a single burst can expose these in the field of vision, and all the air forces that have nowhere to hide can be wiped out, and slowly this branch of the military fades out of people's sight until it is completely eliminated, and the war has also entered the era of spirit cannons.
Therefore, when Zhao Lingyun planned to set the Eagle Guard as a special branch of the Air Force and buy one hundred and one middle-level Ethereal Eagles through the Wanbao Pavilion, he did so with huge opposition. Because the military resources consumed by this one hundred and one eagles are enough to equip an elite division of 12,500, which is also one of the reasons for the gradual decline of this once prominent military branch.
When these aerial murder weapons, which once only appeared on the battlefield, were gradually kept as pets and appeared in front of the world as a show off of their wealth, people gradually forgot their influence on the direction of a war. This is also the reason why Li Degong ridiculed Zhao Lingyun's brain and did not take Zhao Xin's newly formed Eagle Guard in his eyes.
The ordinary demon beasts on the Dihao Continent are divided into four categories: low-priced, intermediate-level, high-level, and heaven-level, and most of them use the power of the bloodline to commit murder. And among the demon beasts, there are mutated special demon beasts and Honghuang demon beasts inherited from ancient times in order to cultivate the bloodline demon pill, which has special attribute abilities, which also causes the situation that the price of the demon pill on the Dihao continent is higher than that of ten thousand catties of spirit stones.
With the national strength of the Zhao Xin clan, most of the demon beasts equipped with the army are low-level or intermediary. The White Tiger Legion, the Fire Lion Legion, the Snow Ice Leopard Legion and the Lidian Ox Legion in the four realms of the Zhao Xin Clan, including the Iron Floating Tu Legion of the Jinhai Clan and the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry of the Xia Geng Clan, are mostly low-level demon beasts, and only elite cavalry will be equipped with medium-level demon beasts.
Among the four realms, the demon beast cavalry in the north is the largest, but it only maintains within the range of 4,500 people. And the mounts of the four god generals like Yue Qianming are all slightly mutated special demon beasts that have been cultivated at a huge cost to lead these four special forces.
Among the demon beasts, the flying demon beasts are the most difficult to find and difficult to train, these flying demon beasts have sharp eyes and keen perception, and will detect the human race that is hostile to them early, and then they have fled or attacked at extremely fast speed. And the speed of the flying monster beasts that have advanced to the advanced level is even more supersonic, which is even more difficult to catch.
The Eagle Guard, which had been equipped at great cost, was handed over to a fifteen-year-old boy, which was a ridiculous decision that Zhao Lingyun had never made since he ascended the throne, and even Zhao Qin'er was criticized a lot.
This also caused the very special existence of the Eagle Guard in the Northern Military Division, although this guard is in the north, but its jurisdiction is far away in the hands of Zhao Lingyun in Kyoto, not only because of its huge cost to form, but also because Zhao Lingyun saw the potential political energy of the members of the Eagle Guard, and made a decision. The power to make certain assignments rests entirely with the Monarch, independent of the Northern Military Division, but his day-to-day training and mission issuance are the responsibility of Captain Eagle.
After the young eagle guard came to the Northern Military Division, Jiang Chen took over the control of the Eagle Guard as the captain of the Eagle Guard. Immediately, the discipline that is unique to the Eagle Guard was announced:
1. All members of the Eagle Guard must forget their original identity. There must be no insults to comrades in the army, and there should be a sense of pride in them. Once found, the rod was thirty military sticks.
2. There shall be no rudeness to the people or oppression of the good. Once discovered, the Eagle Guard will be fired, and if serious consequences are caused, they will be dealt with by military law.
3. Do not neglect the orders of superiors (do not contain obviously wrong orders). If the military aircraft is delayed, it will be dealt with by military law.
In view of the special identity of the young eagle guards, Jiang Chen added the unique discipline of these three young eagle guards to the original military law of Zhao Xin's country, and then divided the hundred teenagers of the young eagle guards into four teams, each team of twenty-five people, respectively Chen Mingzhi, Zhao Xinchen, Xin Zuguang and Xiao Xiu served as captains, and these four teams were named respectively: Chi Peng, Lei Diao, Electric Owl, and Wind Falcon.
Chen Mingzhi and the four of them also took over the positions of judge, scout, escort, and logistics of the Eagle Guard. Each team is divided into five groups of five people, and there is a team leader. The selection of his captain and team leader, Jiang Chen was appointed according to the extremely capable and special skills of Kyoto's three-month training and assessment rankings, without any personal feelings at all, and Zhao Rong, Zhao Xiu, and Wei Chide were also appointed as team leaders.
Jiang Chen also announced the internal incentive system of the Eagle Guard, and every quarter the Eagle Guard will be assessed internally, and those who are capable will be lowered, and those who are not qualified for their duties will be lowered, including himself, if he is not qualified, he will be appointed by the Emperor to appoint a new Eagle Captain.
The content of the assessment is not limited to the combat strength of individuals, but also the analysis of the art of war and actual war cases, and the method of evaluation adopts the situation of collective voting.
Jiang Chen's announcement of the reward and punishment system was after his careful consideration, and he fully considered that the teenagers in the Eagle Guard were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and these teenagers were all elite-like existences among their peers. His knowledge and wisdom are beyond those of his generation, otherwise he would not have stood out from the more than 700 high-ranking officials and noble heirs, but this has also caused them to be arrogant and arrogant, and they are definitely not willing to be inferior to other peers for a long time. Moreover, Jiang Chen set up such an assessment system in order to create an atmosphere of respect for the strong and form a benign competitive environment, so that the high-ranking ones will not be slack, and the lowly ones will be discouraged and lose their self-motivation.
When the Eagle Guard followed the elite martial arts special team in the north for more than 20 days of training, Jiang Chen found that this kind of training was of little use to the special military branch of the Eagle Guard, except for being able to unite people's hearts and make these teenagers understand what a professional soldier is, it was no longer of any use to the Eagle Guard's combat methods, Jiang Chen had to figure out a set of combat systems suitable for the Eagle Guard's unique combat system.
At a regular evening meeting, Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts, and finally set a general direction by relying on collective wisdom. The group's air long-range attack power, defensive ability, and individual combat power in ground combat, starting from these two aspects, the Eagle Guard began its own unique training.
In the Eagle Guard, except for Jiang Chen, they are all spiritual cultivators, and when a teenager proposed to use the Five Elements Formation as the long-range attack and defense method of the Eagle Guard, he was rejected by Jiang Chen on the spot, not only because this is an old road that has been walked by predecessors, but the air force after the formation not only loses its speed advantage, but is more likely to be killed by the enemy's concentrated fire. Moreover, the young man in the Eagle Guard, the attributes of the five elements of the spiritual veins are unevenly distributed, and he cannot reach the state of five one-to-one at all.
When Jiang Chen saw the huge spirit cannons, a whimsical idea popped up in his heart, after equipping these ethereal eagles with spirit cannons, wouldn't they have the ability to attack from a distance! In the experimental stage, a spirit cannon of the smallest standard crushed a mid-level ethereal eagle, and it couldn't take off at all.
Although his special ethereal eagle can take off, it can only fly at a low altitude, and the ethereal eagle with a little spirituality also lost his temper with Jiang Chen. In the end, Yue Qianming, who had not yet returned to Beijing, couldn't stand it, stopped Jiang Chen's nonsense, and said, "You think that you are smart, and you can't think of the ancestors and masters of the military family as fools." ”
Then Jiang Chen consulted a lot of books about spirit soldiers, but he didn't find a long-range attack spirit soldier suitable for equipping the Eagle Guard, the powerful and easy-to-carry long-range attack spirit soldier is not suitable for popularization in the army at all, and in the end, only the bow and arrow are left as a conventional blade option, but its attack power and distance cannot meet the requirements Jiang Chen expected, so he can only seek ways to improve, but this is a long and tortuous road.
However, Jiang Chen has not gained nothing these days, although the Five Elements Formation was vetoed by Jiang Chen, but the training of the Eagle Guard's aerial formation has not been relaxed, and the formation of dodging the bombardment of the spirit cannon has been trying to explore. The air control of the Ethereal Eagle has not stopped for a moment in conventional training such as advancing and retreating, left and right, vertical and horizontal, and discrete, and the dense defensive formation has never been Jiang Chen's consideration, so he has delegated the air command to the group-level unit, so that the speed advantage of the Ethereal Eagle can be fully utilized.
Moreover, after Jiang Chen saw that the Eagle Guard's mount was an ethereal eagle, he remembered an anecdote that Old Man Yue had mentioned when he told him about Haoran Academy. Haoran Academy has an ordinary student who can't practice, envy those cultivators who can control the spirit soldier to fly into the sky, so he thought that he could make a spirit soldier that allows ordinary people to fly to the sky, and after many research attempts, he actually made an ordinary thing that can make ordinary people jump from a height of 10,000 meters without being injured, and the production principle is extremely simple And he was inspired by an oil-paper umbrella that never left him, but because of its instability and its entertainment, it was forbidden by Haoran Academy, so it has never appeared in front of the world.
Jiang Chen, who was still a child at the time, heard about this, and under the trend of curiosity, climbed to the highest plane tree in Fengluo Villa, unfolded an oil-paper umbrella and jumped down, which scared Xiangming at that time. After thinking about this matter, Jiang Chen had a new combat idea in his heart.
It does not need to land near an enemy camp to be detected by its scouts. Jump directly from your mount to the enemy camp and launch a surprise attack, whether you are fighting with a large army or fighting independently.
Jiang Chen was excited when he thought of this, and immediately put this idea into practice, and asked him to make this unknown idle thing. The commander of the military department looked at the drawings given by Jiang Chen, which was painted with an object that looked like an umbrella but was not an umbrella, and did not understand what its function was, and the materials and principles of production were extremely simple and did not cost much, so he agreed, and only used it as a joke for the children of the Eagle Guard.
When Jiang Chen got these items that he named "Airborne", he first tried them at a low altitude, and then summoned up the courage to land intact in front of the young eagle guards when the eagle flew at its own limit altitude of 30,000 meters, shocking the young people.
Immediately, the teenagers took the airborne equipment distributed to each of them and were eager to try, although some of the teenagers were injured during training, but they were not in danger of life. Airborne is also included in the daily training subjects of the Eagle Guard, and Jiang Chen's wisdom is constantly improving the defects of the airborne to ensure that it can be used during combat.
