Liu Ping thought about military training for a long time in the house, and finally selected a set of military strategies suitable for his soldiers, that is, the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Records of Military Training" written by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in later generations.

Of course, what interests Liu Ping the most is the mandarin duck array that Qi Jiguang tailored for the Japanese invaders.

It was a formation with twelve people as a basic combat unit, and the combination of long and short weapons could change according to the terrain and the needs of the battle.

Among them, the first is the captain, the second two hold a long card, a rattan card, the long card hand holds a long shield to block the enemy's heavy arrows and spears, and the rattan card holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and waist knife, these two people are mainly responsible for defense.

The other two are wolf soldiers, holding a one-foot long wolf lance, using the sharp blade at the front of the wolf lance to assassinate the enemy to cover the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind.

Then there were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, to take care of the shield-bearers and wolf-bearers on the left and right sides of the front.

This was followed by the skirmishers with short knives, who, if they did not stab the enemy, rushed forward with their daggers to slash the enemy.

In short, this is a set of formations that divide all the troops into combat units composed of 12 people.

And each combat unit is like a precision machine, some are responsible for giving orders, some are responsible for defense, some are responsible for long-range attacks, and some are responsible for close attacks.

Liu Ping felt that if the cooperation was smooth, this would be a combination of transformers with both offense and defense, and there would be no dead ends in the attack within a certain range.

In fact, Qi Jiguang was recruited by ordinary people to train this formation, and he actually created an amazing record of thirteen battles and thirteen victories, created the famous Qi family army, and led 6,000 troops to kill more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers through three battles in Hengyu, Niutian, and Lindun.

In one year, more than 20,000 Japanese robbers were killed, and the coastal bandits that had plagued the imperial court for hundreds of years were swept away.

It is said that the combat power of the Japanese is not weak, and if they fight alone, the army of the imperial court at that time is not their opponent.

But Qi Jiguang relied on this formation to train a group of people, but it took two or three years to kill the gang of thieves, which shows how powerful the mandarin duck array is.

Liu Ping's training of the Tuntian Army is preparing to go to the Central Plains to sweep the Yellow Turban Army, speaking of which the Yellow Turban Army is just a group of armed displaced people, and the combat power is inevitably inferior to the Japanese Kou, Liu Ping used the Mandarin Duck Array to fight them, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack, and it is a bit of a bully.

However, there are many weapons in that formation that are original to Qi Jiguang, such as the wolf whire, which is about a zhang long, sharp as a spear head in the front, and several layers of multi-bladed appendages in the middle, which are knotted and densely branched, and look like a large iron broom, which requires Liu Ping to arrange someone to make it.

……

At the same time, the school military field has been quite lively these days.

Cao Chun took over the 5,000 troops of Zang Ba's entire system, with all middle and low-level officers, so it ran very smoothly.

In order to train an elite army, Cao Chun stipulated that he should train for six hours a day, and he exhausted a group of people.

Fortunately, Cao Chun ate and lived with the soldiers, so the soldiers did not complain.

"Sweat more in training, less bloodshed on the battlefield!"

The soldiers were practicing in pairs, and Cao Chun rode his war horse in and out of the dusty cracks.

He gritted his teeth and shouted at the soldiers: "Although it is a training now, you and others need to regard the other side as the real enemy.

If you are an enemy, you will not show mercy to your subordinates, and you will be killed at any time.

Either you die or I live, and the best way for you to save your life is to kill him! ”

The dust was billowing on the school military field, and the soldiers were all gray-faced.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan watched from the side for a while, and more than a dozen soldiers were slightly injured due to the lack of retraction, but they continued to practice after simple bandaging.

Zang Ba was an eye-opener, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the people of Yanzhou are much less than Xuzhou, and the land is much more barren than Xuzhou, but they have always been able to form an offensive against Xuzhou. ”

"What the general said is extremely true," Sun Guan couldn't help but nod and said: "At the beginning, the general led us to surrender to Ping Gongzi, and when I saw it today, it was considered to be the right one, the Cao family is good and has enough food, and the great cause will be successful in the future." ”

Zang Ba couldn't help but remember that he was chased by Zhang Liao and ran away, and he was caught before he dared to fight back, and he was forced to surrender.

This is an extremely embarrassing thing for him, Sun Guan didn't even open the pot, and lifted it again.

Zang Ba couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Since the soldiers are all practicing, why don't we also practice?" ”

"No, I don't think that's necessary." Seeing Zang Ba moving his hands and feet, eager to try, Sun Guan felt bad all over the place.

"No, I think it's necessary, mainly because I practice you." Zang Ba grinned with ill intentions, and pounced with a fist.

saw Zang Ba chasing Sun Guanyi to practice, and after a while, Sun Guanlian's nose and eyes were swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding......

The sergeants couldn't help but admire when they saw that even the two generals were fighting each other with fists to the flesh, and they couldn't help but praise each other, and the training was even more exciting and high-spirited.

……

On the other side of the school's military field were the 6,000 Pengcheng defenders led by Xiahou Yuan, who were practicing their military formation.

The biggest difference between a well-trained regular army and a rabble is that the regular army advances and retreats in an orderly manner.

Starting from the basic one soldier, one army, and one column, all the way to the whole army, we must "set up a military rank, set a rank, and be vertical and horizontal," so that we can give full play to the maximum power of the cluster.

Xiahou Yuan was originally a general of the Cao Group, second only to Dian Wei and Xiahou Tang in terms of force.

However, Dian Wei was the general of Cao Cao's guards, and rarely led troops to fight, and Xiahoudun stayed with Xun Yu in Juancheng for a long time, and did not show up in Yanzhou.

Therefore, among the generals in front of Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan can be ranked first.

It's a pity that in the previous battle of Pengcheng, he was the most wretched in the battle.

The three thousand soldiers under his command were all annihilated, and only three or four guards were left to escape with him, if he hadn't accidentally entered the Moon Mountain where Liu Ping was smelting iron, his life would probably be gone.

His defeat also became the fuse for the defeat in the Battle of Pengcheng, if it weren't for Liu Ping's reversal at the critical moment, he would probably have become the biggest sinner of the Cao family.

Therefore, after Cao Cao handed over these 6,000 military horses to him, he had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he must train this army to come out on the battlefield of the Yellow Turban Army in the future, so that everyone can see that his Xiahou Yuan's army is not muddy.

Of course, he felt that his biggest opponent was Cao Chun's 5,000 troops, and Cao Ang's 3,000 troops and horses were small in number, so he didn't pay attention to them.

As for Liu Ping's 1,000 Tuntian army, it can be ignored.

Therefore, after hearing that Cao Chun's prescribed training time was six hours, Xiahou Yuan raised the time to seven hours.

He also ate, lived and practiced with the soldiers, and he didn't even return home, and the soldiers loved him very much.

"Wind!"

"Gale!"

The soldiers under Xiahou Yuan were neatly lined up, shouting loudly and high-pitched.

At this time, in the grass far away from the school's military field, Han Hao and a group of brothers were lying horizontally.

Some soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say: "General, why don't we train ambushes, and go out to practice the military formation, I dreamed of General Liu just now." ”
