Chapter 55: The Small Goal of the Family Guardian Society

Before arriving at the playground of the Laoshan Temple, he heard the shouts below, Zhou Nan was not in a hurry to find Lao Zheng Tou, first stood aside and watched, only to see that not only Lao Zheng Tou was on the playground, but also all the people in the Family Protection Society, and there were dozens of more people, and the spacious playground in the past also seemed crowded. It seems that they are practicing in the detachment, and it is obvious that the first team is a veteran member of the Family Protection Society, and Gao Yuanzai is in charge of the drill, including Gao Shouzhong, Gao Shouxiao, Zuo Xiaosi, Zhou Fu and others, and the drill is to lift stone locks and so on. The other team was about forty or fifty people, but Zheng Sunsin was ordered to wait in the drill ranks, just like the drill Gao Yuan at the beginning. There is an obvious difference between the two teams, the team of veteran players who practice stone locks are all calm, skilled, and silent; Although the team commanding the drill ranks was very energetic, it was only practicing with a spirit and blood, and it was not stable and patient enough. If you choose a team to resist the enemy, Zhou Nan will not hesitate to choose the team that is far away. What you need to fight a war is not to shout and be brave for a while, but to be absolutely obedient, listen to orders, and not waste a trace of energy in useless places. Babbling, I don't know how to advance or retreat, and when I go to the battlefield, I either cause trouble for myself or the whole team. Only veterans who have undergone extremely difficult training and baptism of war will understand the truth of saving themselves and killing and wounding the enemy, and will be the most valuable soldier king.

Zhou Nan's request to Gao Yuan is that within two months, everyone in the Hujia Club will have to open a hard bow, run a round trip from the village to the foot of the mountain with a weight of 80 catties, and hit the bull's-eye 100 steps away. These three requirements, Zhou Nan is not casually mentioned, weight running is the basic requirement for any military in any era, the Spring and Autumn Period of the great military strategist Sun Tzu slightly later another great military strategist, politician Wu Qi, Wu Qi is definitely a genius, whether it is training or the ability to use soldiers are extremely good, in the Wei State 20 years, Wu Qi in the selection, training of Wei soldiers is very attentive, he selected Wei soldiers to be able to carry a load to be able to walk more than 100 miles, and in the future training, Wu Qi requires soldiers to wear triple armor, At the same time, an iron sword must be hung from the waist, and then a wooden shield, a bow and arrows must be carried on the back, and three days' rations must be carried with it, and it is stipulated that a soldier who can march a hundred miles in half a day is qualified. Such high-intensity, long-term training, so that the Wei soldiers out of the state of half soldiers, half peasants, became the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period of professional soldiers, so that soon emerged on the battlefield, Wei soldiers are brave and fine, can fight well, hang the Qin soldiers at that time, for the Wei State to seize a large territory of the Qin State. Also at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, another overlord Wu Wang Lu in the training of his own army, but also let the soldiers wear neat armor, hold weapons, to run a long distance of 300 miles to be qualified, and this devil training insisted on seven years, in the Wu Chu war, Wu Wang Lu in the army selected 500 strongmen, 3000 good at running soldiers as the vanguard, with a sleepless rapid march, the Chu State that had no time to prepare had no power to resist, this can be said to be the special forces of the Wu State. As a result, the Wu army won five battles and captured Yingcheng, the capital of the Chu State. Although the Yuan Dynasty was to attack the world with cavalry, but also attached equal importance to the physical training of soldiers, Kublai Khan's Praetorian Guard was called "Gui Chi Guard", which means that the Praetorian Guard ran very fast, in order to review the training of the Praetorian Guard, the Praetorian Guard held an armed cross-country race from Dadu to Shangdu, or from Shangdu to Dadu every year, the whole distance was 180 miles, running at dawn, and running the whole distance in three hours (6 hours). It can be seen from this that all strong armies attach great importance to the soldiers' ability to run long distances, and all the combat abilities of soldiers are based on the ability to run.

Zhou Nan set the weight of 80 catties, but also took into account the situation of the army of the Song, Liao, and Jin kingdoms at that time, the infantry armor of the Song army, a set of armor and weapons, generally reached sixty or seventy catties, and there were two layers of armor in the Jin army, although it was on a horse, but it was also a big burden. Therefore, Zhou Nan's high requirements are to carry a weight of eighty catties.

As for the bullseye a hundred steps away, Zhou Nan has his own ideas, this support for the family club is not used to fight hard with the enemy, there are more than 100 people in the Manchurian Republic, that is, the number of the most basic combat unit in the army in this era, even if the people of the family protection club are all brave, there are times when the tiger is defeated by the wolves. Zhou Nan just wanted to rely on the advantages of the terrain, and everyone in the family protection society was strong with a precise archery technique, so that the enemy would know the difficulty and retreat, so that he could protect the cottage without losing manpower as much as possible. For these hunter-born soldiers, they can basically achieve it without training, and Zhou Nan has seen it in the past when he went up the mountain to hunt with these people. Moreover, at that time, these hunters used their own bows and arrows, and if they were replaced with bows and arrows specially designed and built like the Song Dynasty army, Zhou Nan would not be worried about the accuracy of these people.

Compared with the first two requirements, it seems that the easiest thing is to open the hard bow, so Gao Yuan agreed without hesitation at that time. This is completely the strength training of archery, and the enemy in iron armor is definitely different from the hares, foxes, and deer animals in the field; Besides, the hunter shoots an arrow and hits one prey, and the rest all run away; The enemy who attacks the cottage can't run, and he only shoots a few arrows and loses his strength, and no matter how good his archery skills are, it's useless. As for how hard the bow is, hehe, this is the back door left by Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan doesn't ask, Zhou Nan naturally won't tell Gao Yuan first. Since Gao Yuan had already patted his chest in front of several people to ensure that these soldiers of the Family Guardian Society also had military momentum and could carry out skill training as planned, Zhou Nancai asked Wang Jing to select a batch of bows from the library, "hard bows", and sent them to Gao Yuan for training.

When picking, Zhou Nan deliberately picked a bow above Shi Wu. In the Song army, the average soldier is only a bow of seven buckets and nine buckets, if you can pull the bow of Shi Wu, it will meet the standard of the fourth army, and you can be the emperor's bodyguard. What Zhou Nan wanted was to exceed the general standards of the army at that time, so he set the stone five bows. These soldiers of the Hujia Society were originally born in Orion, and their archery accuracy was extremely high, and their strength was trained again, and when they fought against the enemy, it would be extremely terrifying, which was equivalent to a group of people with sniper rifles and people with ordinary rifles. As for the two-stone bow, it is only for soldiers who have spare strength, after all, people are flesh and blood, and the drill should also talk about the innate physical conditions of the individual.

Wang Jing came with a large bag of bows, so he went to the playground almost at the same time as Zhou Nan, and when he saw Wang Jing coming with so many bows on his back, Gao Yuan and they all stopped practicing, Wang Jing put the bow on the ground and said briefly to Gao Yuan: "This is the explanation of the master of Dazhai, saying that it is a hard bow for you to practice." ”

Zhou Nan also walked over, and said to the soldiers of the Family Guardian Club with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Brother Gao had promised in front of Dr. Zheng, Mr. Liu and others, that within two months, you and others would be able to carry 80 catties to and from the mountain, hit the bull's-eye 100 steps away, and open this hard bow, so start today." ”

Gao Shouzhong had already picked up a bow with a few quick hands, and pulled it casually, but he didn't pull it open, Gao Shouzhong grabbed the bow again, and with a lot of force, he barely opened the bow in a semicircle, and he couldn't pull it anymore, and suddenly shouted in frustration: "How can this be pulled?" ”
