Chapter 46: Drills
Wu Liang, Mo Changrong, and Duan Shidi went to various weapon shops in Jinzhou to customize horse armor, large shields, and spears.

"Enter your mother, you stupid x, don't hunchback, straighten your chest!"
"Haven't you fucking eaten for eight days, you are trembling, stand still, don't move, look ahead!"
"Liu Xiaocai! You stupid x, Lao Tzu warns you again, if your fucking body is crooked again, Lao Tzu will blow up your dog's head! β

Li Xiao saw that the training methods of these two people were obviously much rougher and tougher than his own. The rough shouts of the two were often accompanied by the crackling sound of the military sticks in their hands hitting the recruits, mixed with the strange cries of the beaten recruits, forming an unbearable mixed music.
Rao is like this, but Li Xiao has no intention of coming out to stop it. After all, the two of them still generally complied with Li Xiao's request, and did not adopt the traditional Ming army's methods of mutilating the bodies of soldiers such as cutting off ears, noses, and arrows, and parade camps, but only used military sticks to teach, and only hit non-vital parts such as buttocks and legs. And it's strange to say that these recruits who have been beaten quickly mastered the essentials of the action, in Tian Wei's words, these guys are all goods that are not beaten and cleaned up.
And when these recruits were beaten, those cavalrymen who were training on their own in the distance, seeing how embarrassed they were beaten, many people couldn't help but think of the situation when they were beaten when they joined the army, and they couldn't stop laughing at the moment. And the families of the soldiers who came first to see this situation were not surprised, and most of them smiled.
What Li Xiao didn't expect was that after three days of training like this, there was an incident in which the soldiers pretended to be sick and did not go out for training.
"Is it true?" Li Xiao looked serious.
"Hundreds of households, it has been investigated. This guy named Gu Yuan, I have heard that he used to be a small trader, in the past three days, shouting bitterly and accumulating him the most, today he didn't come out to exercise, I thought he was sick, and hurriedly entered his grass shed to check, and guess what, I heard me knock on the door, this guy hurriedly got into the bed and pretended to be sick, but I saw it clearly from the crack in the door! When Tian Wei said this, he still looked resentful.
Li Xiaoden was furious.
In the past few days, he has repeatedly told these recruits that anyone who evades training by feigning illness or other means will be severely beaten with 50 military sticks, and then the whole family will be expelled from the mound. At that time, when he saw the frightened eyes of those recruits, Li Xiao thought that everyone would abide by it, but he didn't expect that only three days later, someone would violate the military discipline.
The cold wind howled, the thick clouds surged, and the wind blew fiercely through the flat ground outside the pier with a strange and terrible howling sound, and the withered grass on the ground rolled like waves.
The whole dun personnel came out together, the front was a group of soldiers lined up in an array, and the back and both sides were the families of the soldiers standing in a mess, everyone looked not far ahead, Gu Yuan, who had been tied like a dumpling, with a solemn and heavy expression on his face.
"You are Gu Yuan?"
Bundled like a zongzi, Gu Yuan, who was escorted to Li Xiao's seat by several stout sergeants, his face was full of fear and sluggishness, and two cloudy snots dragged out of the elder elder. After Li Xiao finished asking this question, he didn't seem to realize it at all.
"Are you deaf when you ask you?"
Tian Wei next to him kicked over fiercely and kicked Gu Yuan in the chest, and Gu Yuan fell to the ground with a wail.
"My lord! Lee-sama! The small one is Guyuan. O Lord! The little one is really too tired from practicing these days, so he came up with the method of pretending to be sickγγγγγγ Adult, you spare the little one, the little one knows that it is wrong, and the little one will never dare again! β
Gu Yuan suddenly cried loudly, he knelt on his knees, and wanted to go up to hug Li Xiao's thigh, but was kicked to the ground by Tian Wei.
Li Xiao didn't say anything, just made a gesture to Tian Wei.
Tian Wei nodded, and immediately took a few stout sergeants to pick up this Gu Yuan like a chicken, and then turned it over and firmly pressed it to the ground.
Soon, the baton flew over, and the sound of crackling and the roar of Gu Yuan's pain blended together, making people's hearts palpitate.
"Your Excellency! Lee-sama! Spare the little one, the little one won't dare anymore! β
Gu Yuan begged for mercy, screaming miserably, the severe pain made his head shake constantly, his chin kept rubbing against the sand on the ground, grinding off a lot of his beard, and the blood seeped into the soil, looking dark red.
His family members, the gray-haired and rickety mother and the short, yellow-skinned daughter-in-law, all screamed in unison, crying and begging Li Xiao to let him go, while desperately trying to rush towards Li Xiao from the crowd, but were stopped by the sergeant.
Li Xiao saw the sad and pitiful expressions of Gu Yuan's mother and daughter-in-law from a distance, and heard their sad and helpless words, although his face was tense, calm and resolute as iron, his heart was like a knife.
Maybe it can be hypocritically said that it is in Gu Yuan's body, and the pain is in Li Xiao's heart.
In Li Xiao's heart, an angry voice shouted loudly repeatedly, Gu Yuan, you bastard! Why pretend to be sick, why do you do it!
The fifty sticks were finally beaten, and the sergeants who were executed were out of breath.
Gu Yuan lay on the ground, blood was dripping from his buttocks, and he was already unconscious, muttering slurred words in his mouth.
Li Xiao saw coldly that the faces of the onlookers were all pale.
Gu Yuan's mother and daughter-in-law rushed over, picked up the unconscious Gu Yuan, and cried loudly.
Li Xiao looked at Gu Yuan's mother and daughter-in-law crying with an expressionless face, and suddenly felt extremely tired in his heart.
He is not a shameless villain who likes to take other people's pain for happiness, but he knows that the army is a serious collective formed by the fusion of iron and fire, and military discipline is the key to the survival and death of an army. Those who violate military discipline must be punished, this is the eternal law of steel in Li Xiao's army.
Li Xiao stood up, looked around at everyone, and said two words out loud.
"Expulsion!"
Gu Yuan's mother and daughter-in-law immediately cried loudly, and the two of them stood up to Gu Yuan, who was beaten to the point of bloody flesh and blood, and the three of them knelt on their knees together, wanting to step forward and hug Li Xiao's thigh to plead, but they were stopped by the sergeant.
Li Xiao turned around, intending to leave, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and then he looked up to the sky and sighed.
After all, I relented.
Li Xiao summoned Tian Wei, took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to him, and then said in a low voice: "After that Gu Yuan wakes up, you arrange a grain truck to enter the city to purchase and send them back to Jinzhou, in addition, give them these two taels of silver, this day is cold, I hope they can live longer." β
Tian Wei sighed heavily, turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuan hatefully, and then replied: "My lord is kind, I will arrange it in the future!" β
Li Xiao nodded, and then walked quickly into the official hall inside the pier, never looking back.
Among the 122 newly recruited soldiers of Li Xiao, 21 were selected as cavalry, 30 as shield soldiers, 60 as spearmen, and 11 as auxiliaries, that is, reserve soldiers.
After Gu Yuan's family was expelled, a soldier named Luo Zheng, who was originally designated as a reserve, took his place. This Luo Zheng looked happy, cherished this opportunity very much, and trained harder and harder.
After the Gu Yuan incident was over, Li Xiao found that the training of the recruits was even harder.
Yes, as long as you train well, have a monthly salary, and have meat, the family can settle down, and such benefits are extremely rare. And if you cheat and cheat, not to mention your own military sticks, the whole family will have to suffer with you, and in this cold and freezing day, you will be driven out of the pier of no return, which is too heavy.
After more than two weeks, there were no problems in the recruits standing in a military posture, lining up, turning left and right, and running collectively at an average speed. After the cavalry team gave priority to the selection of people, Li Xiao began to select candidates for spear and shield soldiers.
According to the training situation in these days, Li Xiao organized 60 soldiers with quick reaction and tall stature into the spear team, and the rest of the 30 soldiers into the shield team.
Among the spearmen, the strongest and most powerful ones were arranged in the first row, all wearing cotton armor, and the second row and shield soldiers were all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets.
Soon after the armor was distributed to everyone, Wu Liang, Mo Changrong, and Duan Shidi returned to the pier of no return with 10 custom-made horse armors, 30 large shields, and 60 spears.
When Wu Liang took the horse armor and handed it over to Tian Wei's Xuanhu Cavalry, Mo Changrong and Duan Shidi were showing off their finished shields and spears to Li Xiao.
Wang Yishou snatched the big shield from Mo Changrong's hand, looked at it carefully, and then held this heavy, well-made, thick, and sharp rectangular arc shield in his right hand, danced left and right up and down, and then nodded and praised again and again.
At this time, at that time, Shi Di shouted, and put the customized maple gun handle, three-edged stainless steel gun head, and a 4-meter long gun with an anti-wear cast steel tail pendant at the tail of the gun, and with a force with both hands, he brushed the ground and slashed deeply into a big tree, and then pulled it out again, poofed, and after dancing a gun flower, he laughed and said to Li Xiao: "It's easy to use!" Please Li Baihu try the gun! β
The weapons were then distributed, and each soldier stroked the weapons issued to them with a happy face, and the eyes when they touched them were simply communicating with their closest lovers.
They can't help but treat weapons as lovers, because this weapon will be their greatest reliance and solid protection on the battlefield of flesh-and-blood combat.
The weapons training, which was the most exciting for the soldiers, began.
After waiting for so long, he finally had the opportunity to operate his weapons, and every soldier was full of excitement and excitement.
After Li Xiao explained the training requirements of the shield soldiers, Mo Changrong triumphantly began to command the shield soldiers to train.
"Hold the shield!"
"Stand on the shield!"
"Squat!"
"Resist!"
Mo Changrong shouted loudly while personally demonstrating the coach's movements. The shield soldiers began to follow him rhythmically in training tactical movements such as holding the shield, putting the shield down, leaning the shield down, and putting the shield against it to form a tight row.
After Mo Changrong demonstrated a few times, he began to supervise the shield soldiers with his military stick in hand.
If any shield soldier did not make a move in time after he shouted out the command, the whirring and waving military stick in Mo Changrong's big black hair hand would definitely make this shield soldier firmly deepen his memory in the unforgettable pain.
This set of monotonous and repetitive shield soldier movements, under Mo Changrong's strong supervision, each shield soldier is trained to focus and devote, and dare not slack off and relax.
In another open space not far from the shield soldiers, the spearmen stood with their guns on their faces with joyful faces, and in front of them, the spearmen captain Duan Shidi and the general banner Li Xiao were arguing fiercely.
"Li Baihu, the spearmen only practice these three moves, will it be a little less?" Duan Shidi's voice was full of grievances, he was full of joy and thought that he could practice all kinds of spear skills like a martial arts competition, but who knew that he was rejected by Li Xiao.
Duan Shidi was suddenly disappointed, those gunskill skills such as blocking, taking, piercing, stabbing, building, winding, ringing, pounce, pointing, dialing, and dancing, he was holding back his strength to show off in front of the soldiers.
Who knew that Li Xiao only asked him to practice three moves, in fact, if you are vague, there is even only one move, that is, to assassinate forward.
However, the parts to be stabbed are different, namely the enemy's head, neck, and chest.
This is the best and most effective attack point for spearmen when they are standing behind their shields.
Li Xiao replied to him with a serious face: "In the past, when Qi Shaobao was training his troops, he demanded that my spear formation should reach the point where the spears poked and the guns poked, and there was only one person in the army, so that the world could be invincible." Duan Shidi's thoughts, I understand, it is nothing more than to let all the spearmen become marksmanship, but you have to think clearly, the spearmen are going to fight on the battlefield, not to participate in the spear competition! Having these three moves is enough for them to attack and fight in the formation, and it is also conducive to their quick mastery. β
"So, don't you learn any defensive moves?" Duan Shidi was really unwilling in his heart.
Li Xiao smiled and patted Duan Shidi's shoulder: "Duan Shidi, you also know that on the battlefield, thousands of troops and horses fight together, one second faster will live, one second slower will die, the spearmen already have shield soldiers in front of them for large-scale protection, and then practice defense, redundant and useless." In the world's martial arts, only fast and not broken, only faster and more accurate attacks are a good strategy to defeat the enemy and save yourself. β
Duan Shidi was silent, obviously, what Li Xiao said was right, the spearmen he wanted to train must be suitable for the actual needs of the battlefield and battle array.
Duan Shidi sighed, nodded in agreement, and then began to direct the training of the spearmen.
At Duan's request, sixty scarecrows stood in front of the spearmen. On the face of the scarecrow, on the neck, and on the chest, a large red dot is marked.
"Attention gunners! Take a good look at my spurt! Duan Shidi shouted, his body was slightly sideways, his tiger waist was slightly bowed, and he held the body of the gun in his hand, and then he hurried forward and shot out violently, accompanied by a loud "Kill!" The three-edged steel tip of the 4-meter spear immediately pierced the red dot on the scarecrow's head.
The applause was thunderous, and the gunners were all intimidated by Duan Shidi's superb marksmanship.
Duan Shidi was engrossed, and shouted twice in a row: "Kill!" "Kill!" Pulled out the gun and stabbed it twice!
The red dot on the scarecrow's neck and the red dot on his chest were quickly pierced by the fierce spear head!
"See, no, it's such a stab. Okay, let's practice on your own! In the continuous applause of the gunmen, Duan Shidi put away his gun and shouted proudly.
"Raise your gun!"
"Hah!"
"Thrust!"
"Hah!"
"Draw your gun!"
"Hah!"
"Stab again!"
"Hah!"
The young Duan Shidi, the voice of the command was extremely majestic and imposing, his angry shout rang violently in the ears of every spearman, if any spearman did not obey the command and could not make the corresponding action in time, Duan Shidi's military stick would swing down fiercely.
The pressure of not being willing to lag behind, and the effort to dodge Duan Shidi's military sticks, made the spearmen not negligent in the slightest, and they shouted with concentration on their expressions, following Duan Shidi's command to carry out assassination actions.
At this time, the cavalry in the distance, under the leadership of Tian Wei and Wang Yishou, continued to practice the battle formation and cooperation.
The dust on the training grounds and the sound of shouting and killing were everywhere, which became the most vibrant and energetic scenery in this bleak wilderness.
Li Xiao stood on the lookout hall of the pier, and the cold wind blew his clothes up and down, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.
He just looked down intently at the soldiers practicing hard, this vigorous and exciting scene, this majestic military might, made Li Xiao's always calm and serious face swell with a faint smile.
