The effect of the group beating training method was quite good, and at the beginning, those honest English peasants, when they were ordered to beat each other according to the company, still cowered and did not dare to move. However, there is such a thing as fighting, and with a beginning, the following is a matter of course.

And it's hard for them to be unhelpful. According to the regulations, the company that lost the group fight, all 250 people in the company had to run in circles. Moreover, it is a 5,000-meter run, and if you don't finish the run, you won't be given food.

At the same time, the side dishes that should have been allocated to them (what they eat with bread, mainly bacon, sausages, salted fish, etc., which are easy to preserve from Germany) will be lost to the winning side as an additional meal. This is unbearable......

You know, for these honest and poor English farmers, they can only eat black paste porridge made from rye and weed roots. If you want to eat meat, it's rare. In particular, these farmers in several counties in the north of England.

Because, England's economy is very unbalanced. In this era, the southeast coastal counties near London were relatively economically developed, and the farmers here may be able to eat meat back every once in a while. But the northern counties of England, which are equivalent to the central and western regions of China, have much worse economies. Here, only on a few major festivals such as Christmas, ordinary people will grit their teeth and buy some fish and meat to try. Normally, let's honestly eat the dark porridge that is like a dark dish.

So, the soldiers were so happy that they could eat salted fish, bacon and sausages every day. A moment ago, they almost starved to death, but now, there was fish and meat, and it was like coming to heaven.

Of course, if Yurou loses to an opponent because of a failed fight, it is also very depressing. Moreover, he will be punished for running laps, which is extremely sad.

……

In fact, Marin did not encourage soldiers to eat salted fish, bacon, and sausages for a single meal. Because, these have carcinogens. However, in the northern counties of England, all the cattle were slaughtered by the Scots and the meat was taken away. Therefore, food can only be imported from East Friesland.

In order to facilitate transportation and preservation, Kohler, who was in charge of military quartermasters, had no choice but to provide salted fish, bacon and sausages. Among them, East Friesian salted fish is fatally abundant and inexpensive, and it is the most eaten side dish by soldiers in peacetime. As for bacon and sausages, there are quite a few of them. Sausages, in particular, are also popular because they are easy to carry and eat.

In this era, Europeans were accustomed to eating foods that were prone to cancer such as bacon and sausages. Therefore, there are not many people in Europe who live a long life in this era. When Marin objected to the soldiers eating bacon and sausages, everyone thought it was strange. Because, eating bacon and sausages is a European tradition......

In the end, Marin didn't change everyone's minds. Moreover, it is very important to note that the cost of preparing fresh meat for soldiers is a bit high. This cost is high, mainly the cost of transportation. After all, fresh meat is made in the slaughterhouse. It is impossible for a military camp to set up a slaughterhouse and to keep a large number of live animals. If you want fresh meat, you have to bring it all the way from the slaughterhouse every day. If the barracks are close to the slaughterhouse, that's fine. If it is far away, the cost of carriage transportation in this era is very uneconomical. Therefore, for the army, cured meats and salted fish, which are easy to preserve and carry, are the most reasonable.

Therefore, Marin can only appeal to his family and nobles to eat less pickled food and more fresh food as much as possible. As for the soldiers, Marin was powerless to change anything.

Although Marin did not think it was good to eat cured meat and salted fish, ordinary soldiers did not think the same. Most of them come from poor families and rarely eat meat. Being able to eat salted fish, bacon and sausages every day is definitely a very enjoyable life. As for carcinogens, what is that? Is it tasty?

The salted fish, bacon and sausages that seemed commonplace to an officer like Saqqara were a delicacy from heaven to the farmers of the northern counties of England, where bread was scarce.

The delicacy is taken away by the opponent because the fight is lost, and it is absolutely unbearable. Therefore, when training in group fighting, fighting pays more attention to the exchange and exchange of fighting skills.

At first, when they lost the battle, some soldiers blamed their comrades who did not give up their strength in the brawl. However, when this happened, the soldiers who blamed their comrades for their incompetence were severely punished by Saqqara.

Saqqara has followed Marin for many years and has a very high theoretical level. Marin has always emphasized that the troops are a whole, and they must either be rewarded or punished together, and the phenomenon of shirking responsibility must not be allowed.

After Saqqara's severe punishment, the recruits no longer had anyone to blame their comrades. However, they also know how to make adjustments based on the actual situation. For example, put the comrades-in-arms who are not good at fighting in the middle of the formation, and put the strongest combat effectiveness in the front. At the same time, under Saqara's advice, everyone gradually learned to support each other......

Under this group beating training method, this group of honest English farmers gradually became veterans of group beating. Moreover, during the group fight, Saqqara also dispatched a law enforcement team to guard the side. As soon as a company was in a group fight, the law enforcement team went up and hit the sticks......

Over the course of a few weeks, the English farmers gradually got used to the group beating method of maintaining their formation. Moreover, everyone's blood has been stimulated and they have become more aggressive.

What makes Saqqara smile bitterly is that the gang shouted "fight for meat" during the group fight......

Moreover, after this slogan was shouted, these farmers were like beating chickens, their strength was doubled, and their morale was magnificent......

Later, this army of English farmers, before the charge, did not have any other slogans, directly shouted "fight for meat", and then went up with red eyes......

Of course, this is how those 7000 spearmen were trained. For the 3,000 archers, Saqqara still trained them in the usual way, training their archery ability. Moreover, the focus is on training the ability to throw. Specifically, it is to train the ability to control the throw distance, so as to ensure that when throwing, the arrow can be fired into the required area and cause a lot of damage to the enemy.

For example, when the soldiers in the first three rows of the enemy army put on plate armor (mainly cuirasses and helmets), the archers demanded that the arrows be fired into the unarmored crowd after the first three rows of the enemy, causing a large number of casualties.

And if the first three rows of the enemy are not wearing armor, they must control it and shoot the arrows into the area of the first three rows of the enemy. Because, according to the habits of European armies in this era, the soldiers in the first three rows are often elite. Being able to kill the opponent's elite more is definitely the right and advantageous choice.

Although the 3,000 archers were not arranged to fight each other, Saqqara, who liked to have competitions, still let the archers shoot archery according to the company.

The specific method of the competition is to send people to draw circles in the "area where the enemy army is located" simulated from a long distance with lime. Then, arrange for individual companies of archers to throw at a specified distance. In the end, whichever company dropped more arrows in the lime circle won the victory.

In the same way, the winning side will get the meat of the losing side. At the same time, the losing side also has to run laps......

Of course, for the sake of fairness, Saqqara divided the best group of archers evenly among the companies, balancing the strength of each company. At the same time, it also requires those excellent shooters to guide others in archery and drive everyone to progress.

Under this competition training mode, everyone's training enthusiasm is high. In order not to be unable to eat meat, those best shooters are also willing to teach their comrades archery skills, so that everyone has improved.

Seeing that the English farmers had made amazing progress in this mode of competition training, Saqqara proudly summed up this training method, wrote a report, and sent it back to Marin in exchange for credit......
