Volume 2 Taibai Xinghuo Chapter 50 Beggars to become an army
Of course, in addition to writing the "Spark Soldiers", Cang Yi also upgraded and upgraded all kinds of training facilities in the Spark Secret Camp. In the era of the Great Yan Dynasty, the means of staying up was very simple, that is, similar to the stone burden and stone lock for weightlifting, and basically only the strength of the upper limbs could be trained, so Cang Yi created a lot of equipment such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, and rings in later generations. There are also training methods such as carrying logs, quagmire lifting, sandbag boxing and other training methods have been introduced into the secret camp. Because everyone is growing their bodies at this time, it is not realistic to make heavy armor now, but it is also difficult to make Cangyi, the standardized sandbag vests, sandbag leggings, and sandbag arm guards are all made one by one and distributed to each member, so that they must wear them all the time except for bathing and sleeping, and if they find that they take it off privately because they are lazy, they will be severely punished, and they will run ten laps around the school field with all their weights.
As for the weapon, because in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, iron and iron ore are now forbidden, that is, the official monopoly, so Cang Yikong has all kinds of theoretical knowledge of steel training, but there is no large number of materials for its testing and forging, so he can only temporarily slow down and focus on the current situation that he has the ability to do better.
The horses that Liu Baiqing said they could buy when Taibai Restaurant opened before have finally arrived. This batch of horses was purchased from Dali, both in terms of physical and physical strength are not comparable to the war horses in the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang, since the Great Yan Dynasty cut off the trade between the Western Xia and the Liao State, this war horse has also become a war preparation resource, plus in recent years, there have been many wars in the border areas of the Western Xia, Liao State and the Great Yan Dynasty, and they will not sell the war horses to the Great Yan Dynasty.
Therefore, the Great Yan Dynasty could only buy slightly inferior horses from Dali in the south, which was better than nothing. However, there are only a hundred horses in total, not because they don't have the money to buy more, but because they are afraid that buying too many at once will attract the attention of others, especially the government, so they will buy a hundred horses for the people of the Spark Secret Camp to train their riding skills and horse fighting skills.
Similarly, Cang Yi also screened powerful training methods and cavalry tactics in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign powerful cavalry units, and then created a cavalry drill code different from infantry training methods according to the cavalry training methods and cavalry tactics of the current Great Yan Dynasty, so that the people of the Tianhuo Secret Camp could train strictly.
In the era of cold weapons, wars, especially large-scale decisive battles, were often open to the open to fight each other, cavalry on horseback, people chopping horses and trampling, in the case of equal numbers, it was difficult for infantry to block the charge of cavalry. In medieval Europe, heavy cavalry, riders and horses were equipped with a large amount of armor, just like tanks, and the lethality can be imagined! In the appearance of the Great Wall of China, in a large sense, the impact of cavalry was blocked with the help of fortifications.
The main tactics of cavalry are divided into four types, the first is the Mangu tactics. The Mongol cavalry relied on it to fight all over Asia and Europe. The specific way of playing is: the close enemy does not charge, but throws around the enemy formation, if the enemy advances, retreats, and the enemy stops and continues to throw, which is very similar to the "kite flying" of the long-range attack profession when playing online games in the later generations.
The second is a flanking tactic. Cavalry bypassed the enemy's main line on the flanks and attacked weak points, or attacked the joints between enemy lines, breaking away from the enemy and creating confusion.
The third is the Heavy Cavalry Charge tactic. This tactic was basically only used in Europe. The cavalry is heavily armoured, armed with spears, and begins to charge when it is close to the enemy, and its speed is maximized when dealing with the enemy, mainly relying on strong speed inertia to knock the enemy flying. In Asia, it seems that only the Tiefutu and the abducted horses of Liaojin in the Song and Song dynasties are similar to them, and the Tiefutu raids head-on, and the abducted horses knock on the side and cooperate with each other.
The fourth is the guerrilla tactics of wolf packs. The cavalry is attached to the enemy, but does not engage in battle, only constantly harasses, because the infantry cannot deal with the cavalry without formation, so the enemy is forced to maintain the formation at all times, degrading his morale and draining his physical strength. When the enemy was fatigued, the cavalry divided into several squads to attack in an all-round way, causing the enemy to flee in confusion, and the cavalry killed and wounded a large number of enemy troops in the process of pursuit.
The above four tactics are inseparable from superb horsemanship, guerrilla is the earliest and most basic function of the cavalry, and cavalry riding and galloping is the best commentary on guerrilla warfare in the era of cold weapons.
The method of running and guerrilla is mainly to give full play to the mobility and rapidity of the cavalry, gathering and dispersing, advancing and retreating, and the cavalry shoots the enemy with a bow and crossbow in the high-speed movement of the horse. This requires a very high level of horseback riding and archery, as well as a lot of training over time.
Therefore, Cang Yi asked everyone in the Spark Secret Camp to train riding, and conduct special training in riding according to different road conditions and environments, in addition to the plain gallop, there are also various road conditions such as hilly areas, swamps, dense forests, and sand dunes that can be walked on the ground and sit firmly on horseback. Once the reins are pulled, the war horse under the crotch must know whether to lie down or jump, whether to turn left or right, whether to protrude forward or hind legs, whether to accelerate or decelerate, which requires a long period of hard training and running-in to achieve such a tacit understanding.
If a person is a marksman on flat ground, he can also shoot accurately on the way to the target on the way to a fast run, but if he aims to start work on a horse, if the horse is in a walking state or galloping quickly. The target that is aimed at may also be in a state of fast running, and the accuracy of the shot will be greatly reduced. Therefore, to achieve excellent riding and archery, it is by no means a day's work, and it requires long-term and arduous training.
Fortunately, these people in the secret camp have all suffered hardships, and everyone deeply understands how hard it is to have enough to eat, dress warmly, and have a place to sleep. So if you have it, you will cherish it even more. And in addition to the basic food and clothing, there is also an allowance every month, although it is not much, only one hundred and fifty yuan per person, but in the camp where you don't have to worry about food and clothing and can't spend money, you can save this money every month, if you are the chief and the chief, then the monthly allowance will be more.
Moreover, the instructors of the five departments announced in public that if they played well in the competition and achieved good results and nouns, they would be rewarded more. And in the monthly competition, your ability to compete determines your position, and if you perform better than Wu Chang and Shi Chang in the team, you can completely replace him. So this also makes it clear to everyone that only by making yourself stronger can you enjoy better treatment.
And the original Wu Chang and Shi Chang will not slack off, because once they slack off, they will be caught up, and they will lose their current status and corresponding rights and interests. In this way, the entire Spark Secret Camp is working hard, and those who are not much different from Wu Chang's ability are even more riveting and ready to replace them at any time. And those who have little hope for the time being do not mean that they will never have a chance to come out. In just one month, the secret camp has increased by another hundred people, and among those completely novice squads, a few old students are usually arranged to be captains and captains, so that they can also enjoy better treatment.
Therefore, the secret camp seems to be boring and uneventful, but secretly it is full of all kinds of open and secret battles, but this kind of struggle and competition are all benign. Among these people, there are people whose families are ruined, who have been alone since childhood, and who have suffered a lot; Some people are cold and hungry, and they fight with people for a bite to eat; There are also those whose families are too poor to be sold for a few taels of silver. Therefore, I can empathize with each other's difficulties and difficulties, and I also know that now everyone is working hard to climb up step by step, and everyone is just wanting a better life and better treatment.
A begging word, a movable type, doing everything, begging to survive in troubled times, this Han armed group of displaced people active in the north and south of the Yellow River, has no backup, no support, and even no food, they only rely on themselves, only the desire to survive. However, it is considered to be the most ferocious and powerful peasant army in ancient China, a collective group of displaced people organized by the government, and it is the most united, widest range of activities, and the longest lasting team among the displaced people.
The same is true of today's Spark Secret Camp, where they are either orphans or sell themselves to others, and it has become their only goal to live and make their lives better. And the Spark Camp gave them this upward passage and opportunity.
