And Jia Ke thinks that a sheep is also driven, and a group of sheep is also herded. It's just a matter of training together. As a result, all the officers in Kaiping Town participated in this training class.

For the first time, Jia Ke systematically summed up his operational theory. This set of combat methods concentrates some of the advantages of modern training and ancient warfare. Although it cannot be said to be perfect, in the current environment, if the training is completed, the combat effectiveness is still very fierce.

This training did not go very smoothly, these soldiers were all from a hard background, except for one or two small landlords like Feng Mo, everyone else didn't know a single word.

Every day, Jia Ke gave them lectures, and when he went back at night, he had to memorize the booklet written by Jia Ke. The pain of tossing these reserve officers was unbearable.

In this way, when studying day and night, most people are still unable to memorize the booklet, and watch the time pass day by day. And the news from the Jiedu Embassy that the 8,000 men and horses will arrive in ten days.

At this time, Jia Ke was anxious and began to physically punish these people, checking the previous day's study every morning.

Recite the contents of the booklet they studied the day before, and if they can't memorize it, it will be ten sticks, and tell them that if they don't pass the assessment before the arrival of the recruits, all the positions they are about to be promoted will be cancelled.

This time, under the strict reward and punishment system, everyone burst out to their maximum potential. Some people study almost sleeplessly, and Kaiping Weisheng's people who know a little braille have become fragrant and sweet. They were hired by these people to learn to read and write, and by the time it was almost a month, although they could not fully understand the words in the booklet, most of the simple ones had already been recognized. And everyone memorized the pamphlet by heart.

Jia Ke does not require them to have much wit on the battlefield, as long as they carry out rigid combat according to his regulations, so that although they cannot train famous generals, they can cultivate a large number of mediocre generals.

Now Jia Ke's battle is a three-plate axe, at first the archers shoot, then the archers retreat, and the Macedonian phalanx continues to shoot.

As the archers retreated to the rear, the Macedonian phalanx moved forward to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and with good discipline and a constant stream of spears, they routed the enemy.

The cavalry, on the other hand, protected the Macedonian square flanks and after the Macedonian phalanx repelled the enemy. Attack from both sides and pursue the enemy.

This is all Jia Ke's tactics, and there are two key points in this tactic, that is, good discipline and the whole army is armored.

Without good discipline, the formation is disrupted as soon as it rushes.

If the whole army does not wear armor, its own casualties will be very heavy, which will seriously affect morale and reduce combat efficiency.

Set up a formation on the ancient battlefield. Generally, after walking a dozen steps, it is necessary to reorganize the team, and Jia Ke requires his troops to attack continuously for a mile without disorder. In this way, whether it is against cavalry or infantry, there is a greater chance of victory.

After nearly a month of theoretical study, almost everyone in this group of officers has been beaten with military sticks, even Feng Mo is no exception. In the future, in the assessment, everyone successfully completed, and after this assault training, these ordinary people can finally be said to be a grassroots officer. These people eventually became Jia Ke's original team, and this training tradition was passed down from generation to generation in Jia Ke's troops.

And the brainwashing part of it has continued as an important part of improving the will of the fighters and making the troops more tenacious, so that Jia Ke's troops have always been loyal to him, and there has almost never been a betrayal.

On the second day after the officers in Kaiping Town had finished training, Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, sent a messenger to tell Jia Ke that the troops had set off and asked him to send someone to meet them.

When Jia Ke heard the news, he immediately ordered Zheng Kai to take a cavalry hundred households to meet him.

At the same time, Huang Baifeng was ordered to prepare a military camp for the new troops, but fortunately, the original Kaiping town was set up to gather large troops to defend against the Tatars or attack the steppe.

At the beginning of construction, a large number of military camps were built, not to mention hoarding 10,000 people, even 350,000 people were more than enough.

Now Huang Baifeng only needs to open the closed barracks and clean it carefully, and he can directly let the new troops station.

At noon on the third day of Zheng Kai's departure, the cavalry came back to report that Kaiping Town was less than fifteen miles away from the army.

As soon as Jia Ke heard this, he immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers of Kaiping Town to line up outside Kaiping Town to greet him.

With Jia Ke's order, the entire Kaiping Town moved. All the troops lined up in a neat line and came out of the barracks. While shouting slogans, he walked out of the city gate.

According to the opposing formation, the crossbowmen were in front, the Macedonian phalanx was in the middle, and the cavalry was behind.

The formation of 2,000 people was in unison, and the footsteps were like drums, and each step was on a point. The team did not come to a three-mile distance outside the city before forming a formation near the official road.

Jia Ke was at the front of the team, Huang Baifeng and Feng Mo were riding horses on both sides of Jia Ke, and everyone looked at the front motionless.

Besides, the commander who led the team to Kaiping Town this time was He Tong. This time, he was ordered by Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, to lead these soldiers transferred from all over the country and send them to Kaiping Town.

The commander He Tong still has some skills, although he is marching in the territory, but he also lets the tanma out for ten miles.

After walking for three days, he received a report from the horse, "Lord Qiqi, a pair of cavalry have been found ahead. We approached him, and they said that it was the cavalry who had come to meet him from Kaiping Town. ”

He Tong immediately ordered: "Order the officer who led the team to come and meet him." ”

Soon He Tong saw a pair of cavalry coming on the road, and this pair of cavalry looked different. Although it was cavalry, but in the course of the march. It is also a row of four riders, with the same distance between the front and back, and the rides are neatly aligned.

The commander made He Tong surprised when he saw this situation, and if he said that he had trained people to such an extent, he would have believed it. But even the horses in front of him are so neat, which shows the elite of this army.

Zheng Kai soon came to He Tong, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one leg and hit Qian, and then said: "Kaiping Town's imperial guard of a thousand households Zheng Kai has seen the commander. ”

He Tong rode on his horse and asked him, "You are the general who came to meet him on the order of Jia Garrison?" ”

Zheng Kai continued to kneel there and replied, "Yes, officially humble." ”

"So get up and lead the way, for our striker."

Zheng Kai replied loudly, "Humble and respectful." ”

Zheng Kai got up, returned to the horse, turned over and got on the horse, and then said to his horse team: "The front team becomes the back team, and the back team becomes the front team." Make a way for the great army. ”

As soon as Zheng Kai finished giving the order, this small group of cavalry immediately changed its formation, and the whole team was still neat and fast.

He Tong saw this situation and admired it very much. feels that Jia Ke really deserves his reputation, whether it is his own ability or a capable person sent by Jiafu. He had never seen the troops trained like this.

His troops, let alone cavalry, are infantry and you can't keep such a neat rank. Once you take a dozen steps in formation, you must form a team, otherwise it will be chaotic.

And this group of cavalry, always leading the way in front, has always remained unchanged in formation, without a trace of confusion.

He Tong believes that this is the art of war left over from the founding of the country, and for those generals who admired the five bodies at the founding of the country, it is no wonder that such troops can be trained to sweep the world.

In the next few days, He Tong kept talking to Zheng Kai, wanting to get the secret of this set of military techniques. But Zheng Kai has always been tight-lipped about him, talking about him left and right, and never answering him positively.

He Tong had no way to do this, and even went out of his way to intimidate Zheng Kai on a few occasions. But these are completely useless, Zheng Kai is loyal to Jia Ke now, let alone a commander, now that the emperor Laozi comes to him, he will not say a word.
