Although it is not difficult to arrange a military exercise in Tongguan this time, it is also quite difficult for these newly recruited regiments to complete the training from beginning to end.

Especially on the first day of the exercise, there were many mistakes and omissions in the basic marching and camping, some of the battalions deviated from the predetermined camping sites, and some of them did not set up camp properly at night. After one day of drilling, after entering the camp and counting the soldiers, it was obvious that the flag order was confused and the flag was not clear.

In short, the first day of exercise can be described as a lot of mistakes and omissions, which is unsightly.

Li Tong also foresaw this, but he was not very surprised, but not being surprised does not mean that he would not be investigated.

Therefore, after the first night of camping, the Chinese army set up torture equipment outside the camp, and the battalion commanders entered the camp to receive punishment according to the severity of their mistakes. For example, Li Yi, who was the commander of a battalion, after a day of training, directly mixed into a bare-bones commander, and his battalion soldiers were scattered in the formation.

"It's easier said than done, but can you learn?"

When Li Yi entered the camp with a shameful face, Li Tong looked at him and smiled, but after a while, his face sank sharply, and he said coldly: "More than half of the undead in the camp should be punished?" ”

"More than half of the dead, be the flag commander, behead!"

When Li Yi heard this, cold sweat welled up on his forehead, but he still spoke astringently.

"If the battalion gives you a sibling, if you have no siblings, what will your life last? Today is still a drill, and if you really go to the battlefield in the future, do you feel that you still have your life to return and receive punishment? ”

This martial arts exercise is to train a group of recruits, and the punishment is naturally impossible to follow the official military order, but Li Yi is still a little disappointed that this kid is like this.

Because this kid is a rare talent of the sect family, Li Tong is also quite cultivated for it, and he went to Longdu to increase his experience in the old years, and after returning to Beijing, he grew up in Eagle Garden to learn Tao strategy. As a result, he was given the battalion position this time, and he showed such a big face, and even Li Tong felt a little blind.

On the first day of the exercise, the march was twenty miles and then camped, starting from the west side of the forbidden ditch and camping on the top of the east side. In order to reduce the difficulty, even the battalions were not rationed with equipment and baggage, and the felt tents of the battalions were also sent through the forbidden ditch in advance.

Although there is no shortage of government soldiers who have lost their families, these newly recruited Zhuzhou regimental trainings are all newly established and different from the previous ones, so it is inevitable that they are a little at a loss, and the chaos is overall. But the other camp owners can still be more or less restrained, and as for Li Yi's direct loss of the camp, he is really the only one.

During the march of the battalions, their own internal guards followed and supervised, and the biggest problem in reporting to Li Yi was to regret the punishment. After the battalion owners were assigned to the battalions, many battalion owners first set up a supervising team, and selected veterans with experience in the army to restrain their troops, and those who left the army were directly punished with whipping.

After Li Yi took over the battalion, he also set up a torturer, but when he was tortured, he was not decisive enough to threaten the public.

What's even worse is that the military orders he set are too cumbersome, observing hydrology, surveying geography, sneaking forward, jumping forward and backward, and the various marching changes taught in the Eagle Garden have been tried all over again, but the problem is that these recruits in his battalion are even difficult to recognize the flag and advance, and as a result, when he took a look, there was only one commander in charge of the flag recognition in the entire battalion except for him, and this was because he identified the flag himself and found it.

Seeing Li Yi bow his head in frustration, Li Tong sighed and said, "Untie the camp talisman and enlist in and out with the army tomorrow." ”

When Li Yi heard this, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he choked up on the ground and said, "The last general knows that he has lost his order, and he doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness." But the battalion is lost to me, please take one night, enter the camp to appease the widows, tomorrow morning to warn the soldiers, if you lose a pawn, I am willing to receive the punishment! ”

"The young man is high-spirited, and it is good to be strong, but the soldiers are mixed in the camps, and since they have already entered the account and stayed overnight, they will not open the door for you to be convenient again."

"The last general will not dare to ask for convenience, and the names and appearances of the battalion guards under his control are half in his heart, and he will enter the camp carefully, and he will never disturb the camp guards' sleep."

"If the punishment is followed, if more than half of the dead are still killed tomorrow morning, they will be beheaded!"

Seeing that Li Yi was still stubbornly fighting, Li Tong was a little displeased.

"The warden is incompetent, and he should be punished! In the end, he will miss the opportunity and force him to beg for it, and if he still does not make up for his previous sins, he will die without regrets! ”

Li Yi kowtowed again and pleaded.

"Go ahead, do it yourself. Before midnight, the gates of the camps are closed, and the camp orders are not wide for you alone. ”

Li Tong groaned for a while, and then said to the camp master: "Wait for everyone, if there are those who are scattered and waiting to be punished, they will all go down to the camp to pick them up." Tomorrow's military inspection will not be a crime. ”

When the camp owners got this opportunity, they were overjoyed, and after thanking them, they hurried out, not daring to delay any longer.

Then, Li Tong looked at Guo Zhiyun again and asked, "How many people are in the first battalion?" ”

"Three hundred and thirty."

After Guo Zhiyun heard this, he hurriedly replied.

"How many are you in?"

"Seven hundred and eighty-six counts, three hundred and seventeen in my battalion, and four hundred and sixty-nine in other battalions?"

When Guo Zhiyun talked about this, there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his tone.

"Why is this so?"

"My battalion is the most neat and simple. Shiwu watched the wind and followed me. ”

Guo Zhiyun said this, and hurriedly said: "The last general will pick up the wandering and lost soldiers along the way, and lead the army with my own part, inside and outside the camp, call the brother and the brother, the brother battalion order is in the Quartet, and the brother battalion order is left and right. Those who are confused in all directions will be punished with five, and those who are not divided between the left and right will be given ten rods. Sixty overseers, before and after I raise my hand, drink those who should not be, and dethrone them, and then drink them, half of them to win the first will, and three drinks should not be, and they are driven out of the army, and they are intended to be cut ......"

"Tomorrow, the soldiers will go out of the camp, take your battalion as the right, and recognize the flag of the army in the palm."

Li Tong first pulled Guo Zhiyun above the camp masters, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will travel thirty miles, and after you stay overnight, your camp will have a drum attack, so return to the camp and prepare." ”

This military exercise is not only to train soldiers, but also to train generals. Although the battalions were in disarray, the punishment of the commanders was not corporal punishment, but the rise and fall of the ranks. A person like Li Yi who directly captures the camp talisman is equivalent to withdrawing from this martial arts exercise, at least this time there will be no more chances.

On the first day of martial arts, Guo Zhiyun shined, his rank was promoted to the top of the first, and he directly received the Chinese army's recognition of the flag, which naturally made people envious.

In the early morning, Li Tong had just gotten up, and Li Yi was already waiting outside the tent, his eyes were red and swollen, and he bowed inside: "I entered the camp last night to appease the dead, and I have three hundred and twenty-one people and nine dead, so I came to receive the punishment." ”

Seeing that this kid looked tired, Li Tong was also a little unbearable, and after hearing the words, he said: "After receiving the flogging, return to the entire camp, and don't give the rank for the time being." If you still commit the same crime in the middle of the night, you will take the previous crime by yourself, and you cannot defend it! ”

"The last general commands!"

On a new day, the smoke of the camps rose, and as the sun shone on the top of the hill, the sound of drums and horns sounded again, and the battalions marched out one after another, and the military exercises continued. Compared to the chaos of the first day, the situation is much better today.

When the camps went down in the evening and camped on the bank of the Yellow River, the camp pattern had begun to take shape.

For example, after two decades of martial arts, one night, Tongguan suddenly beat a manic, and then thousands of riders swept up to the top of the hill like a strong wind. Cao Ren personally led his troops to the top of the hill to practice the camp, and saw that the campfire was lit one after another, and the battalion soldiers were holding sticks and arrays. The raiding army crisscrossed the camps several times, but did not capture a single deserter who jumped out of camp in the wilderness.

"Erlang returns to camp and sleeps, there is still a strike before the morning!"

After returning in vain, Cao Renshi reined his horse outside the camp and shouted loudly, and then led his troops to retreat like a tide.

Before dawn, when he came back as promised, before he got close to the camp, he noticed that the atmosphere in front of him was different, and ordered the team to slow down, but the peach forest on the side suddenly burst into flames, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers: "Rush! Capture a ride, you can add a sheep! ”

"Haha, junior plays me! Let's withdraw, tomorrow morning, the camps will smell bad, and no meat will be eaten in Guanzhong in January! ”

Cao Renshi laughed and turned his horse around, and his group of horsemen retreated like a tide, but on the way back, five hundred of them dismounted and galloped along the side road. When the soldiers of the battalions in the peach forest rushed to the front, they rushed out of the wilderness, rode back and forth, directly captured the soldiers who rushed out of the hundred rushes, and chased them all the way to the front of the camp, shouting and returning with fun.

When the group returned to the front of the pass, it was already dawn, and when they got closer, they saw thousands of people lined up in front of the pass.

"Does General Cao think that there are no horses in the camp?"

Guo Zhiyun held a wooden knife in his hand and laughed: "Sons, tell Guan Qian Paoze, what are we going to do?" ”

"Cook the sheep, cook the sheep!"

When the thousands of soldiers in front of the gate heard the sound, they shouted, obviously a few foodie slogans, but they shouted a bit of a strong and enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Haha, how many points can you shake before entering my level? But a surprise attack in the night can still be formed, why not be stingy! Open and close the door, count the sheep and the army, and have a full meal today! ”

Of course, such a drill is not enough to boast about. But as Cao Renshi said, the formation of the army is worthy of a month, and it has been able to deploy the army calmly, which is indeed worthy of reward.

Nearly 1,000 fat sheep were driven to the top of the hill from Tongguan, on this day, the camps were full of fire, full of gas, the campers held knives to divide the meat, ate the mouth full of oil, it can be said that it was enjoyable.

Before the official end of the martial arts, in addition to rewarding the soldiers, the stage also specially sent hundreds of musicians to celebrate the performance. Such as King Yong's "Song of Killing Fan", "Youth Xing" and other folk music, and is sung in the camp.

In addition, there is also a new ballad "Swallow Fu", which is sung in the camps. This new ballad is not made of beautiful words, the slang is easy to understand, and the story told is also very down-to-earth. It is said that the swallows living in a foreign land worked hard to build their nests, but they were invaded by the Tudo finches to eat their nests, and the finches had no fear, because the swallows were already guilty as fugitives, and did not dare to sue the government for justice. However, the envoy of the Taiwan Phoenix, entered the township to expand the household, distinguished right from wrong, ordered the finches to return the nest, and plucked the feathers of the finches that had encroached on the swallow industry and exiled them.

The most righteous among the soldiers, when this "Swallow Fu" was sung in the camps, the natural crowd was excited, and they all praised the phoenix bird for doing things fairly.

Through this fable, the regimental training campers from all the states also learned about Xingtai's new order on the expansion of households, and the government no longer regarded it as a crime of running from households, whether they returned to their hometowns or attached guest registration, as long as they could produce diligently and abide by the law, the government would protect their family property.
