Chapter Ninety-Five: The Wolf Travels Thousands of Miles to Eat Meat
The fifth watch day, equivalent to about five o'clock, today is the first day of training in the new barracks, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen got up early. www.biquge.info According to last night's division of labor, Lu Zhishen took the male soldiers, and Lin Chong took the female soldiers for a morning run.
In the morning, the recruits will be assessed on the skills of the troops, and then they will be classified according to their advantages, and when today's recruits arrive, they will all be reorganized tomorrow.
In the afternoon, male and female recruits studied in the queue and followed Lu Zhishen to learn kung fu, and in the evening, Lin Chong insisted on carrying out a literacy class movement for literacy and writing.
According to the configuration of the Great Song Dynasty's troops, the ratio of infantry to cavalry was ten to one, and in fact it may be twenty to one. Among the infantry, the archers were the majority, accounting for more than sixty percent, and the rest were swordsmen and spearmen and heavy infantry armor, as well as the Shenji battalion and offensive and defensive equipment that would serve as supervisors.
The mountain battalion is a special operations force, Lin Chong's idea is very direct, since it is a special forces, the soldiers are quick and unexpected, so speed is the priority, and the combat power is second.
Whether it is a regular soldier or an auxiliary soldier, riding skills is the first consideration, and then let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of physical fitness and the functions of the troops.
Lu Zhishen also deeply believed that the Western Army, which had fought against the elite of the party, attached the most importance to cavalry, because only cavalry could fight against cavalry and obtain huge results.
The two agreed on the full cavalry, and then roughly divided into 300 archers, 200 sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, and 100 scouts and magic machines.
The last hundred gathered those who were particularly good at martial arts, such as marksmen, climbing, swimming, and fighting, which Lin Chong called the sharp knife capital, and were responsible for opening the way or breaking the rear for the whole army.
Lu Zhishen considered the cruelty of the battlefield and the possibility that the whole army could be drawn at any time, so even the auxiliary soldiers must also receive equestrian training. Moreover, once there are casualties in the battle, the auxiliaries will be replaced at any time.
In the night, under the light of torches, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen both believed that leading the way could boost morale, so they were neatly draped all over their bodies. Facing 1,150 recruits, Lin Chong began a month-long career as an instructor.
"From today onwards, you will have a special person to record each subject, and the last one in each will be eliminated, so it is up to you whether you can become a qualified mountain battalion soldier."
"Today's subjects are mainly five items, the morning is the morning run and the selection of troops, the afternoon is the queue and boxing practice, and the evening is literacy and writing. Each subject has a full score of 10, and the one with the least score per day is eliminated into the auxiliaries. ”
Seeing that the recruits below began to discuss, Lin Chong mustered up all his strength and asked loudly, "Do you understand?!" ”
The recruits below were startled and hurriedly replied, "Understood" and "Got it!" "Yes!"
Lin Chong waved his hand and continued to say loudly, "You are no longer homeless now, but soldiers, and the soldiers must be ordered and forbidden, and they must be uniform. When the instructor asks, you have to answer, 'Understood, instructor!' Or, 'I don't understand, instructor!' ’”
"Do it all over again! Do you understand?! ”
"Understood, instructor!"
Lin Chong: "Didn't you wake up one by one?" Are they all seventy or eighty? Be louder! ”
The recruits blushed and shouted hoarsely, "Understood, instructor! ”
After shouting out loudly, the recruits' spirits were lifted, and the strength of their bodies was awakened, and Lu Zhishen also had to admire Lin Chong's method of leading the troops, and in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere of more than 1,000 people was set off.
Lin Chong nodded, "Dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat!" Our mountain camp in front of the palace is the wild wolf camp, and the wild wolf that every soldier howls, if you want to train to become the strongest army in the world, you must not only be fierce to the enemy, but also ruthless to yourself. ”
Then he deliberately glanced at the recruits, "Today's morning run is to travel around the camp lightly, can you keep running down?!" ”
"Determination, instructor!" Now everyone's answers are uniform, and it seems that it has worked.
Lin Chong asked the whole army to stretch their hands and feet, do some warm-up exercises, and finally pointed to the gate of the camp and said, "Everyone follow Instructor Lu and start running!" ”
Lu Zhishen was tall and burly, with a helmet and armor like an iron tower standing at the front of the queue. In order to train the strongest army in the world, he put down the identity of Wupin Ti and was willing to accept Lin Chong's command like an ordinary soldier.
As the soldiers ran out one after another, Lin Chong kept explaining to them the essentials of the morning run.
For example, to trot at a uniform speed, the heel and the soles of the feet should land on the ground first, the breathing and rhythm must be controlled, and finally Lin Chong followed Sun Erniang's female team for a morning run.
The morning run of 1,150 people will definitely have a lot of unexpected problems. Sure enough, before they were halfway through, more than 30 people fell to the ground tired, and although the female soldiers were gritting their teeth and insisting, more than a dozen of them were still pulled very behind.
Lin Chong said to Sun Erniang, "Go to some good health and take them back together." ”
Although Sun Erniang was surprised, she immediately replied, "Yes, instructor!" "Bring the ones with relatively good physical fitness to rush back, and continue to run one by one.
The female soldiers, who were already too tired, began to complain bitterly, and even begged "Let me go, I really can't run!" ”
Lin Chong knew that he couldn't relax at this time, once he let the female soldiers know that they could be lazy, that spirit would be gone.
"Think about your family, think about the female soldiers who were eliminated yesterday, they don't even have qualifications, and you want to give up?"
"Persistence is victory, I have already run halfway, grit my teeth and resist!"
At this time, Sun Erniang naturally wanted to support Lin Chong, "For so many years, who has looked at us with the right eyes?" Only Instructor Lin is willing to treat us as human beings, and he can't live up to his hard work, look ahead, we can go back to the camp after a few more steps! ”
There were many male soldiers along the road who were panting like oxen, staggering, and even fell to the ground, Lin Chong looked at it and did not have a seizure, and continued to run forward with the female soldiers.
When the two hundred female soldiers stumbled and ran back to the camp with their caps scattered, there were at least fifty male soldiers behind them, and it lasted for a quarter of an hour before the morning run was over.
This took twice as much time as Zhang San and Shi Lei yesterday, it's like a snail crawling! And Zhang San and Shi Lei, with yesterday's lesson, quickly understood Lin Chong's morning running essentials, so they ran back in the first echelon.
Lin Chong had to go through the records of the guards on duty, and there were 200 people who returned to the barracks within seven minutes, and 500 people who returned to the barracks in about 10 minutes. It seems that the quality of this batch of recruits is okay, at least this can be selected for half.
In the end, the 1,000-man mountain battalion was reorganized and combined, with 800 elite soldiers, and then 100 people were selected to serve as the sharp knife capital for the attack, which was enough to deal with the general enemy.
When the last fifty or so male soldiers entered the camp crookedly and were about to return to their respective teams, Lin Chong stepped forward to stop them.
If you don't give them a lesson and a reminder, they don't care, and the carrot and stick strategy can be more effective. It's not about these lazy people, but the 1,100 people who were earlier than them, in layman's terms, killing chickens and monkeys.
