Before Yu Zhilong arrived at the Jing'an Army camp, he saw that there were already a group of Jing'an Army foot soldiers in the open space outside the camp, dancing with knives and wielding guns under the order of the general, and another team of soldiers under the leadership of 100 households were running collectively in the open space or outside the camp wall or in circles with weights, or conducting formation and physical training.

Akio and other generals who were in charge of guidance and picketing patrolled the surroundings and personally taught the soldiers with inaccurate movements and postures from time to time. Mingxiong has been staying in the army since he only stayed at home for one night after the war, and only took time to go back to his house to visit his wife for an hour every day at noon when the army had dinner and rested.

Seeing Yu Zhilong and his entourage galloping over, Mingxiong hurriedly came to greet him.

According to the plan, after the celebration meeting, the Jing'an Army began to intensively repair and train its troops. This time, because of the defeat of Yidu and the morale of the Yuan army, Yu Zhilong estimated that there would be no big battle in at least ten days, and took advantage of this precious opportunity to train the various departments.

In addition to the wounded in the army, both generals and non-commissioned officers are required to participate.

Main contents: First, the soldiers are familiar with the golden gong and must understand its significance; the second is to strengthen the basic skills and strength of swords, guns and shields; The third is to be proficient in basic formation changes, the formation drill is a ten-person team, the middle is a hundred-person team, a hundred-person team, and the larger one is a thousand-person team. At present, the Jing'an army is only 4,000 people, and the rehearsal of the 1,000-man formation is the extreme.

The formation changes include horizontal formations into columns, columns into horizontal formations, and rapid changes between marching formations and battle formations.

The most commonly used formations include circular formations, square formations, several formations, sparse formations, cone formations, goose-shaped formations, Xuanxiang formations, constant formations, etc. As for the six-flower array that Mingxiong once introduced, it has a circular array, a square array, a curved array, a vertical array, a sharp formation and other formations, and these five formations each have five variations, a total of 25 variations. Considering that most of the people and horses are new pawns at present, it is difficult to achieve a complex formation conversion in the short term, and at present, the Jing'an army is limited, and the possibility of the big formation against the enemy is not urgent, so although Yu Zhilong is very interested in the changes in the big formation, he finally ordered the temporary departments to be familiar with the simple formation.

Judging from the last battle, the basic formations such as the square formation, the circle formation, and the several formations played a great role, especially in the face of the charge and counterattack of the Tang Wuwei and Meng's army, the soldiers of each unit closely depended on each other, and the front and rear were basically orderly, and the close formation was used to basically maintain the stability of the battle front.

However, some problems were also exposed in the course of the operation, such as: Although the officers at the grass-roots level were more enthusiastic and dared to rush to the front, they were not satisfactory in grasping the changes in the situation and making timely adjustments, and it was difficult to make timely adjustments.

Especially Huang Er, as the head of the department, disregarded the command when the fighting was at its most intense, and rushed forward alone, although it can greatly improve morale, but it may harm the whole army. What if you command thousands, or even tens of thousands, of troops and horses in the future?

Fortunately, the scale of the battle between the two sides this time was only four or five thousand people, and it was divided into several large battle groups, and the liaison and command between the upper and lower levels could be basically solved by roaring!

In addition, the soldier's combat skills were far from meeting Yu Zhilong's expectations. The time for these new soldiers to pick up their weapons was only about ten days, or even only a few days, not to mention the most basic psychological quality training, physical fitness training, queue training, and the identification of flags and gongs and drums.

In the face of Tang Wuwei Yuan's cavalry charge, many spearmen were stabbed by spears because they couldn't master the essentials of attacking, injuring their chest and abdomen! Some of them passed through their bodies on the spot and died on the battlefield! Some archers were so nervous that they couldn't pull their bows at all, or they were weak in archery, and it was difficult to get their heads right.

Because of the bloody and cruel scene of the fight, individual soldiers suddenly became hysterical, waving their weapons indiscriminately on the battle array, but injuring their own people; Or abandon the weapon, stupid just laugh wildly, although Ji Xiancheng, Zhao Shi, Hou Ying and other generals found out and immediately killed them, but it still can't help but have an impact on the psychology of the other foot soldiers.

In fact, after the war, many soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time could not adapt to the bloody battlefield for a while, and often suffered from nausea, vomiting, weakness, and fever.

Overcoming psychological obstacles and being proficient in technical combat is not a one-day effort, Yu Zhilong can only continue to strengthen various drills and drills, so that the soldiers can gradually adapt.

Many of the middle and high-ranking officers in the Jing'an Army were veterans of the scout team, including Yu Zhilong himself, and it was only after experiencing many battles that his spirit gradually became stronger.

This is a world dominated by cold weapons, and the fragmentation effect of corpses is far less than that of later generations, but the bloody tragedy is especially worse than later, especially cutting throats, beheadings, and cutting off hands and feet are common. Facing the howls, moans, and blood of our wounded friends and foes up close is a powerful shock to the soul. Without training, it is generally difficult for a new pawn to get used to it.

After this battle, both the generals and the soldiers have gone through a baptism, and the best training is to fight, and most of the soldiers who can survive have initially adapted to this kind of fighting scene, so that they will not be at a loss in the future.

Now that the drills of the various units of the Jing'an Army have begun, and with the experience of the drills before the last war and the summing up of the battles, the enthusiasm of the generals for combat techniques and formation training has been markedly greatly enhanced, and the seriousness of the non-commissioned officers in these training has also been greatly enhanced. Before dawn, the Jing'an army formed a team under the order to get up, washed up, and after dinner, began a day's drill in full swing according to their respective training plans.

"My lord, do you have any instructions today?" Mingxiong asked for instructions after giving the salute.

"Without him, just patrolling, what is the appearance of today's soldiers?" Yu Zhilong asked casually.

"General Hui, whether it is a general, a soldier, a foot rider, etc., is in good spirits, and his subordinates think that the current infantry army should strengthen combat skills and formations, and the cavalry is mainly trained in equestrianism and assassination."

Mingxiong told Yu Zhilong several times about the summary after the war. He personally participated in the drills of various units of the Jing'an Army and the battles against the Yidu Army, and he had a lot of feelings, and he had many years of experience in military training, and his suggestions were all to the point, and Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi were very happy to hear about them.

However, in view of Mingxiong's training plan for the huge and complex formation, Yu Zhilong finally gave up temporarily, as mentioned earlier, the current Jing'an Army is small in scale, but time is pressing, and it is impossible to spend too much time on it.

However, Yu Zhilong still appreciated Mingxiong's other suggestions, and then rewarded him again with silver taels, silk, and yuan bills, and made a public watch. He was specially allowed to stay overnight in his own house, but Mingxiong was busy with military affairs and could not delay, so he only took a temporary lunch break at home, and still stayed in the barracks every day.

Yu Zhilong dismounted and handed it over to the guards, and he walked outside the drill field while carefully inspecting.

Most of the departments in front of me are doing physical training. Luo Cheng took hundreds of subordinates to frog jump in the collective, this practice method is quite novel to everyone, Yu Zhilong does not require armor, carries weapons, just squats and frogs with bare hands.

However, this distance is not short, the end is a hundred paces apart, after arriving a little rest, and then the frog jumps back to the starting point, and the round trip is the end of the sixth power. It is strictly forbidden to stand up and walk during this period. At first, everyone didn't care, and even jumped forward with Luo Cheng, but unexpectedly, after a round trip, they began to have weak legs and feet, panting like a cow. The formation was also chaotic, and some people with weak constitutions lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

Fortunately, Zhilong can extend the rest period appropriately, but the number of training sessions must be completed on the same day, otherwise the soldiers will be punished together.

Practice strength, the first weight of the waist and legs, arms, the army mostly uses stone locks, Linqu is just a lower county, when have so many soldiers and horses stationed, this practice equipment is not much.

In order to practice arm strength, Yu Zhilong simply asked the soldiers to do more push-ups, at the beginning of which they were counted together, and after the strength of the soldiers increased, they changed their tricks. If you do it once, slap it once, put two legs on your back, or have one person hold the other person's legs so that they are completely upside down, and so on.

Because the method is interesting and does not need equipment, Wu Side and others have been interested in figuring it out, and gradually come up with other tricks, so that when the Jing'an army galloped through Lujing and Liaoyang, this push-up practice was carried forward by Wu Side, Qian Zheng, Chang Zhi, etc., at least a dozen more ways to play, and the whole army complained bitterly every time they trained, and they didn't know how much saliva they cursed behind their backs.

Ji Xiancheng and Mu Chunbu stood in a collective military posture, the soldiers stood straight, and each of them had a large wooden bowl on their heads, which was full of water. If the bowl is poured, the water is less and it is judged to be unqualified.

Each unit of military posture training needs to wear armor and weapons for one hour a day, but do not wear helmets. After the expansion of the Jing'an Army in the later period, all new soldiers will have this practice, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, spring, summer, autumn and winter. At this time, it was the Jing'an Army's grass-roots deception, and the soldiers were all among the training.

Yu Zhilong slowly turned to look, and saw that they were neatly aligned, horizontal and vertical, and then kicked their knees in the face of several soldiers and hundreds of households, general flags, etc., all of them regressed and straightened.

Seeing that the various departments were practicing in full swing, Yu Zhilong was very satisfied. Then he inspected Luo Cheng, Qian Zheng and other departments in turn, and in front of him was Hou Ying's department.

Hou Ying's department was in a group of five people and threw logs with their bare hands. The log is slightly smaller with one person hugging, and the bark has not been cut off, about two zhang long, and all the branches have been cut off, and the weight is not less than three stones. At this moment, a total of nearly 100 groups of people were held high above the top and then lowered to the waist under the orders of the executive officer.

After 50 lifts, take a short break. Then each group carried the log on their shoulders and was required to run back and forth more than a dozen times in a half-column of incense.

A team of 10 people is exactly two groups, and the results of the team of 10 are evaluated on the basis of the team, and if one group falls behind, the whole team is punished. When a team of 100 is behind, the whole team of 100 is punished! The assessment criterion is the number of tosses and round-trips within the specified time.

According to the thoughts of each general, all the assigned soldiers should be the first choice and choose more healthy people, and then the strongest and most skilled soldiers in the department will be turned into a separate team to become the sharp of the department.

It's a good thing that the ministry has a sharp arrow, Yu Zhilong doesn't object, but if he just picks the strongest soldiers, regardless of the whole, he will have to do it. Yu Zhilong adopted this method, which is also a side reminder to the generals.

Sure enough, after several trainings and rewards and punishments, the generals soon found that the strong and weak divisions were unacceptable, and if only the soldiers with the best physical strength were gathered together, regardless of the soldiers with weak physical strength, even if the strongest soldiers ended the training subjects early, but the weak group greatly lost the hind legs of the whole team. The final result was also a team-wide penalty.

Yu Zhilong specially asked Zhao Shi and Fang Xue to consider dividing the strength and weakness into each hundred household teams as evenly as possible in the replenishment of soldiers, except for Wu Side's cavalry, which only recruited the soldiers with the strongest physique and courage.

This forced each hundred households and brand heads to carefully plan the personnel of each group, and reorganize them according to the size of their strength, height, age, etc.

Yu Zhilong's purpose is to make these officers at all levels fully aware that they are the head of the department, and they must always pay attention to the personnel and various changes in their own department.
