"Hurry up, run for Lao Tzu, the last one has no food!" Simon rode on his horse, and the riding gun in his hand was replaced by a wooden stick, and whoever fell on the last one would give him a blow.

"Run for me, if it's slower than the other groups, I'll pick your skin!" Like Simon, Ford also waved the wooden stick in his hand, and at this moment the usual middle-aged man with a smile on his face was gone, replaced by a Ford knight with a frosty face and anger like thunder.

Not only Simon and Ford, but also the other groups of knights are also desperately trying to get their recruits running.

They feel a little aggrieved in their hearts, and training new recruits is not an easy task.

It takes at least half a year to train a farmer into a qualified soldier, but His Royal Highness the Prince only gave them a month, which is not enough at all.

So the knights vented their grievances on the training of the recruits.

Increase the amount and intensity of training a lot, exercise from morning to night, and eat high-calorie foods.

The soldiers had only been training for a morning, and four of them had leg cramps.

Murphy sat in the room and pondered, he felt that the way the knights were trained was too monotonous, and it was completely according to the method of training regular troops, and it was not suitable for new troops.

He remembered that when he was working as a civilian in the army, he had seen the training of the recruit company, and he only had to copy that training method.

So Murphy leaned over the table again, looked through the window at the running soldiers and the knights who were driving them on horseback, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Let these recruits suffer for a day today, and give the knights a chance to establish their prestige9.

Amid the screams of the knights and the screams of the rookies of the recruits, the day passed.

Exhausted, the recruits sat down around a fire in the center of the cabin, which had been insulated by Murphy.

Fortunately, although the training intensity is a little higher, at least the food is better.

The fragrant beef bone broth hides out some of the sour taste of the rye bread, and the soup melts away the hard appearance of the bread, and the flavor of the beef bone broth lingers in the mouth for a long time when you bite into the soft bread.

After a tired day, the soldiers who had been hungry for a long time were eating happily, and if they had this food every day, it would not hurt to be tired.

"Simon, tell all the knights to come over, I have something to announce. Murphy walked out of his room, leaning on the railing and said to Simon, who was eating on the first floor.

"Yes, Your Highness. Simon answered, put down his knife and fork, swallowed the beef in his mouth, and got up and walked to the other cabins.

Murphy watched Simon out the door and returned to the house to get a bite to eat.

After about ten minutes or so, the six knights stood in a row in Murphy's room.

"Your Highness, everyone has arrived, waiting for your orders. Simon lowered his eyebrows and whispered.

"Hmm. ”

Murphy looked up, fingers tapping on the table.

"I called you here because of the training, your patrol method is too simple, and the intensity is too great, and the time is too long. ”

"But Your Highness, if you don't train like this, you can't train them to be qualified warriors within a month!" Knight Ford spread his hands, looking helpless.

"You're misunderstanding wrong, I want musketeers, not knights or traditional infantry. Murphy shook his head and stood up.

"What the musketeers need is discipline! It is the order to enforce the ban! The desperate landslide is in front of the face without changing the color! For the musketeers, discipline is more important than physical fitness. ”

"But Your Highness, we haven't trained musketeers!" Chaks' knight grimaced, he was still good at training spear and shield men or axemen, but musketeers were a class he had never touched.

"That's why I called you here, I have studied a training method, and from tomorrow you will train according to this method. ”

Murphy took out the notes he had taken today from the drawer and placed them on the table.

"Your Highness, isn't this training a little too little?" Simon asked with a frown, looking through his notes.

"Jogging around the playground for 20 minutes, standing in a military position, walking in formation, holding a gun for an hour, and lining up on three wheels to practice shooting...... Will any of this really work?" Knight Ilya is a straight-hearted man, and he can say whatever he wants.

"The effect is there, but it is impossible to temper an iron-blooded army within a month, but at least it can give them the ability to fight in real combat within a month. Murphy said affirmatively.

"Alright then, let's train according to your plan Your Highness. ”

Simon Knight said, and led the other knights to retreat.

............

Early the next morning, the six knights walked into the barracks of their recruits with sticks.

"Get up, get up, get dressed and assemble at the drill ground!"

The recruits were also prepared, did not dare to sleep so hard as they did the night before, and hurried up to get dressed and were spared a beating.

"Everyone, stand in groups!" Simon stood on the drill ground, and the other five stood behind him.

In front of him, ninety-one soldiers, including Snow, stood upright.

"Turn right! Run, run!"

Simon shouted, rather like a military training instructor on Earth, and the recruits did what he commanded.

The soldiers ran around the drill ground of more than 1,000 meters for a full five or six laps before slowly stopping.

"The next thing is to stand in a military position, stand with the guns in your hands, and in an hour you can eat. ”

As soon as Simon's words came out, the recruits were shocked, how simple it was?

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore, and it wasn't so easy to stand in a military posture.

Carrying an arquebus weighing five kilograms, they stood in the cold wind, and if it weren't for the heavy warm coat on their bodies, they would have frozen to death here.

Even if the physique of the people of Nuo is much stronger than that of the earthlings, it is definitely a torment to stand in a military posture in such weather, and it is already the limit to insist on an hour.

After eating, we will go to the shooting range to assemble. Simon's voice was like a heavenly sound, and the soldiers quickly put down the guns on their shoulders and ran towards the cabins of their respective groups.

Lunch was still hearty, with freshly caught grass leaf fish from Lake Tanas grilled over the fire, sprinkled with salt, and served with a large bowl of fish soup.

After eating and drinking, we started the afternoon training program.

"Today I will personally teach you how to arrange the musket array. Murphy was already waiting at the range, and he ordered the railing to be removed for the time being, and a row of targets lined up in front of him.

When everyone heard that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to teach him personally, they were all nervous, I was afraid that it was not as casual as practicing muskets before, right?

Still, Murphy's reaction relieved them.

I saw him dutifully explaining the precautions when firing in turns, such as the first platoon crouching to shoot, the second platoon standing to shoot, and the third platoon as a reserve to guard against the enemy's charge.

However, this classic queuing and shooting tactic requires soldiers to be able to kick the right step, so Murphy will not let the soldiers practice lining up to shoot before kicking the right step.

In this way, Murphy spent the whole week at the training ground, practicing the recruits every afternoon to kick and form.

Anyway, Alsace and Marshall are in charge of things in the city, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

It wasn't until a week later that Alsace in the city sent a letter, and the Theban captives spoke.
