Chapter 6: Training
With the name of the position, the righteousness is also brightened.
When the county order appointed by the imperial court took over Wuxian, Liu Yu and the other three brothers began to train their troops with one mind.
Five hundred soldiers were trained in a unified manner, and it was impossible to equip them with battle armor, so they could only barely unify their clothing, but almost one-third of the regular iron swords and weapons were used.
What kind of military formation training, there must not be so much time, just a rabble of yellow turbans, and there is no need for an elite army, Liu Yu mainly exercises their physical fitness and preliminary team cooperation first.
The quality of individual soldiers has improved, as well as the initial teamwork and cooperation, even if you don't know what formation is for the time being, it is not a problem to fight with the Yellow Turban with one enemy and two, or even three enemies and four enemies.
Liu Yu combined modern training methods to compile a set of individual training methods, and asked Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to arrange the training according to the arrangement.
At the same time, Liu Yu ordered the supply of food and drink to be opened, not only took out all the food, but even took out all the remaining money and exchanged it for meat, just to feed the thin bodies of all the soldiers.
"Big brother, if it's so open to eat, I'm afraid that the money and food we have saved will only last for a month at most." Guan Yu said to Liu Yu.
"One month is enough!" Liu Yu said: "Second brother, third brother, my brother three people and three horsemen to seize the city, now there are five hundred soldiers, no matter how much money and food is not as good as the strength of the soldiers, as long as the five hundred soldiers are strong, with a month of training, we can immediately defeat more Yellow Turbans, recover more counties, to fight to raise the war, when the Yellow Turbans are pacified, it is the day of the birth of our elite soldiers." Liu Yu said.
Zhao Yun smiled and agreed: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, I agree with the eldest brother's words." ”
Guan Yu also nodded when he heard Liu Yu say this, feeling that what Liu Yu said was very reasonable.
On the first day of training, Liu Yu set up a cauldron, slaughtered a fat pig, and stewed it in the cauldron, the aroma of meat wafting in the air could make the five hundred soldiers hungry and stinging one by one, and they couldn't stop swallowing.
"With this general not only can eat full, but also meat to eat, today is the first day of training, this general stewed a pig in this pot, this pig, let five hundred soldiers open to eat is definitely not enough, every day in the future, this general will stew such a pot of meat, those who have the ability to eat openly, those who can't only drink soup!" Liu Yu encouraged.
As the former boss and now the boss, Liu Yu knows very well that for these soldiers from poor backgrounds in the late Han Dynasty, what kind of national righteousness you talk to them about, high-sounding words are nonsense, and only real food can exchange their sincerity.
Many soldiers had not seen meat in their homes for several years, and this open eating of meat was not a small attraction for them.
"General, what kind of person is a capable person." Someone finally asked, this person's name is Chen Niu, he looks quite tall, but he is very thin.
Chen Niu is a native of Wuxian County, there are more than a dozen people in the family, to rent and plant the fields of large households in Wuxian County for a living, relying on hard work, not in the disaster year, life can barely get by, but Wuxian County has been a disaster year for three consecutive years, and has suffered from the scourge of the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban not only robbed them of the big tenants who rented seeds, but also did not let them go.
All in all, Chen Niu not only hasn't really eaten a full meal for three years, but he hasn't really eaten a meal of meat for five years, and the reason why he joined the army was to see that Liu Yu distributed money and food to the people for free, and he was a benevolent person, so he was to have a full meal. At this time, when he heard that there was not only a full meal, but also an open opportunity to eat meat, he could still bear it, and his saliva was about to run dry.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's a good question, I will divide you into a group of ten people, and try once every three days, the top three in each group are capable people, these three people can eat meat openly within three days, and the remaining seven people are incapable people, they can only drink soup, and they can't drink openly, no one can blame you, only blame you for not being able to endure, if anyone is not satisfied, they will kill the top three in this group in the next competition." In addition, in a month's time, there will be an official contest, and the second place in each group will be given the title of captain, and the first place will be the commander, and they will also participate in the competition for the position of Dubo, commanding fifty soldiers. ”
"The meat and the position are waiting for you here, it's up to you who has the ability to take it, start training now!" Liu Yu announced.
Liu Yu's move is motivated by meat and position, the effect is great, every soldier has trained hard, every soldier is full of the pot of stewed meat, the only idea is to strive to kill the top three in the group in the competition three days later, so as to eat meat openly.
"Big brother's trick is really wonderful."
"Big brother is really capable, Yu admires." Zhao Yun and Guan Yu greatly admired Liu Yu's methods of motivating soldiers to train hard.
Liu Yu said vigilantly: "Two virtuous brothers, in addition to training with the soldiers, the three of us brothers must not slack off." ”
"That's what Big Brother said." Guan Yu and Zhao Yun nodded.
In the next month, in addition to bringing soldiers to training, Liu Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun brothers also learned from each other every day, fighting on foot and on horse, you come and go.
The three of them are brave warriors, but Liu Yu and Guan Yu have no experience in horseback fighting, but Zhao Yun is very good at horse fighting under the training of his master Tong Yuan.
A month's training, 500 soldiers' individual fighting skills, etc., are all very different from a month ago.
Moreover, in a month's time, food was open to food, as well as meat, and the five hundred soldiers slowly raised their thin bodies.
As soon as the month came, the big competition that decided the position of Wu Chang, Shi Chang, and Du Bo began.
It was the fiercest competition, and all the soldiers showed their own housekeeping skills.
In one day, the positions of the commanders, the chiefs, and the governors were decided.
"Big brother, these are good seedlings." Guan Yu looked at the ten Dubos who had been decided, and smiled with great satisfaction.
"Yes, it is indeed a good seedling." Liu Yu also smiled, but he said in his heart that those who can survive after a few fights are the real good seedlings.
In any case, with their respective leaders and a month of training, the team of 500 people seems to have finally had a trace of elite rudiments, and I believe that over time, it will evolve into a real elite army.
The money and food were basically spent, and it was time to test the results of a month's training, Liu Yu did not plan to continue to stay in Wuxian, so he led the five hundred 'army' with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to leave Wuxian and officially began the crusade against the Yellow Turbans.
