As soon as they returned to the gate, the sergeants returned to the camp one after another.

Wang Zezhi ordered them to rest for a day to prepare for the drill.

After marrying a wife, the spirit of the whole person is different.

That's because here they have their own people to protect.

At this moment, Wang Zezhi can be regarded as having a strong army that truly belongs to him.

A day later, Wang Zezhi looked at the sergeants on the martial arts arena, and he was full of pride in his chest.

"Start practicing!"

Li Hua received the order, and according to the combat method studied by Staff Officer Shan and several of their generals, he held the flag and began to direct them to practice.

This is a combat method that Wang Zezhi has been studying for a long time.

After the battle of Xi'anbao, many problems in the team were exposed at once, and after careful consideration, he decided to immediately implement the plan he had planned a long time ago.

The Ming Dynasty itself had many armies that used banners, golden drums, heralds, and flag flower artillery to command the methods of communication at the campaign tactical level.

Therefore, it is not difficult to study this method, and Li Hua used it a long time ago when he was training them.

From the small class to the battalion, they all have an understanding of the flag language.

Even, they have already worked out the method of night battle command.

That is, with war drums and firearms.

During the day, there are flags, and at night there are golden drums and firearms.

That is, the flag is used to communicate with the command during the day, and the fireworks fired by drums and firearms are used to command at night.

Through the waving of the flag and the change of the rhythm of the drums, relatively simple tactical orders can be issued to the combat detachments on the battlefield, and complex tactical orders are often issued orally or in writing by the heralds, who are directly under the jurisdiction of Wang Zezhi, and the clothing with special symbols is easy to identify.

It is not difficult for the heralds to find the generals at all levels, the position of the commander of the first combat detachment is near the flag of the detachment, which is easy to find, and the clothes and insignia of the officers at the second rank are different.

Wang Zezhi's sergeant, in a strict sense, is not a soldier of the imperial court.

Rather, it was his private soldiers, who recruited by himself, trained himself, and raised his own salaries.

Therefore, the costumes of these people are designed by himself.

In addition, there is one biggest feature, which is also Wang Zezhi's favorite feature.

Their combat effectiveness and cohesion are stronger than those of the border army, and these people don't recognize anyone except Wang Zezhi, and it's not easy for the emperor to come.

This is thanks to Li Hua, whose training can be described as all-round.

Not only mentally, but also mentally, spiritually, and physically.

It can be said that these sergeants are his king's people from the inside out.

Li Hua shouted while waving the flag.

"Adults review, all battalions gather and line up, raise yellow flags, watch the flags and listen to orders."

The sergeants immediately stood in line according to their respective belongings.

When the generals at all levels saw the flag, they immediately ordered the flag-bearers around them to start waving the flags of each battalion, and the sergeants moved.

The yellow flag was waved, and the class leader of each class received the flag and began to give orders.

"The sword and shield soldiers squat, and the fire soldiers raise their guns."

"Put!"

"Bang Bang!"

The sergeants of the fire battalion raised their guns to shoot targets, some of them were seven rings, some were eight rings, and very few were full rings, and three of them did not know if they were empty on their wedding night, and they actually missed the target.

"The off-target kicks out of the fire camp and waits for distribution."

This is the rule set by the king, the weak retreat, and the strong rise.

For this, the sergeants did not disagree except for the slight change in their faces, handed over the matching guns, took off the military uniforms representing the firecrackers, and walked to the side and stood dejectedly.

Wang Zezhi was about to give the order to continue the drill, when a herald stepped forward to report.

"Report, Datong Mansion Li Li Chang asks to see you."

When Wang Zezhi heard this, his eyes shone brightly.

This group of young people in Datong Mansion finally came, and I don't know how many people there are.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Wang Zezhi waved his hand to signal Li Hua, and the drill was suspended.

In Shanxi, the surname Li is a big surname.

You can see people with the surname Li everywhere, there are businessmen surnamed Li in Yuxian County, there are Li Chang surnamed Li in Datong Mansion, there are Li Hua and Li Changhe in his team, and there are countless sergeants surnamed Li under him.

Li Hua waved the flag, and the sergeants stood up straight one by one, motionless.

Li Lichang was brought in by the herald and shuttled through the strict queue of sergeants.

Li Li looked left and right tremblingly, he didn't know what Wang Zezhi meant.

"It's just the right time for the captain to come, the camp is conducting a martial arts exercise, please watch it."

"Excellent, excellent."

Li Lichang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the chair on the review table nervously.

"Go on."

Wang Zezhi gave an order to Li Hua, and Li Hua's flag-waving drill continued.

The sword and shield guards retreated, and a group of halberd and shield soldiers stepped forward to protect the archers.

Originally, he wanted the sword and shield soldiers to protect the archers, but the generals advised that if the Tartar cavalry attacked the bow battalion from the flanks, the sword soldiers would not be able to stop them.

Wang Zezhi was pleased to accept their suggestion.

The shield fell to the ground, the halberd stabbed out, and the archers received the order to start shooting at the target covered with straw men.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Each of them shot three arrows in a row, and the speed was so fast that to the naked eye it looked as if they had only shot one arrow.

A dark cloud formed by a rain of arrows flew by, and the straw men in the target area were full of arrows.

A moment later, the sergeant who inspected went to check.

He took out a dozen arrows that deviated from the target area, reported the number on the arrows, and called out the corresponding sergeant.

This was written at the request of Wang Zezhi, and each number corresponded to a sergeant.

You can shoot off in such a wide area.

These dozen sergeants went out with difficulty, handed in bows and arrows, quivers, and arrows, took off their uniforms, and stood with the few firecrackers who missed the target.

For these unqualified sergeants, Wang Zezhi has two ways to arrange.

One is to pass a strict assessment and re-enter the team.

For example, if an archer shoots a target alone, he must target more than nine rings to be eligible to return to the team again.

If it fails to meet the requirements, it is the second one, and it will be incorporated into other arms, such as sword and shield soldiers, spear and shield soldiers, halberd shield soldiers, cavalry and the like.

Wang Zezhi was worried that these people would deliberately fail to meet the requirements, so he stipulated that those who could not even meet the second article would be expelled from the army, all military merits should be withdrawn, and coal mines would be allocated.

With these three conditions, he is not afraid that these sergeants will not train seriously.

Archers shot through, and the flag of the artillery battalion was raised.

The red-coated cannon, the Furlong cannon, and the Tiger squat cannon are loaded with ammunition, and the distance is measured by the jumping eye method, the angle is adjusted, and the fire is ignited.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Li Lichang clenched his ears in fright at the sound of artillery.

Wang Zezhi was waiting for the effect of the attack, and the artillery battalion's target was three or four times larger than the archer's grass, and it was an area painted with white lime, and then a red flag was planted to mark it.

If they can't even hit this, they won't be eliminated directly if they have a chance to do it again, and whoever can do it will be on it.

Artillery is the most important species, and there is no room for sloppiness.

The sergeant rode his horse to inspect it, and a moment later returned several numbered flags, one for one artillery.

Several unqualified gunners were eliminated and directly assigned to Li Hua to train him for other projects.

As for the new gunners, they were re-selected from the deputies who operated the guns.

Then the cavalry charged in formation, slashing and slashing the straw men.

The cavalry charge is heavy on the array, and the array is not chaotic in order to cause the greatest lethality.

As soon as the cavalry set out, a few of them were obviously left behind, and the sergeants who checked immediately wrote down the numbers behind the cavalry, and what was waiting for them was either eliminated or rebuilt.

In the end, it is the battle of sword and shield soldiers, halberd shield soldiers, and spear and shield soldiers.

First, after rushing into the formation to attack and kill, after breaking through the defense of the shield soldiers, the opponent was divided into a long snake formation, divided and killed, and the lone immediately looked for the nearest sergeant to form a three-talent array to attack and defend.

These arms have a basis for attack and defense, and Wang Zezhi nodded again and again.

Among them, the performance of the spear and shield soldiers is the most outstanding, if the sword and shield soldiers are the most fierce in close combat, and the halberd and shield soldiers are the most fierce in harvesting cavalry and horses, then the spear and shield soldiers are the most fierce in line to kill the enemy.

Their weapons are all wooden, and the top of the weapons is covered with paint, and as long as they are hit, the sergeant will have a color on his body, and the sergeant with color will have to withdraw and cannot continue to participate in the drill.

In the end, only the spear and shield soldiers will win.

Spear and shield soldiers, indomitable, as long as they stab out, they have to hold the will of death and lifelessness.

The requirements of these three classes are not very high, as long as they are willing to fight, they will not be eliminated.
