"Stand up straight!" Li Yan continued to scold, and at the same time went to correct the posture of the soldiers one by one, patting their backs straight, making them hold their chests up, and look ahead.

"Fourth brother," when Li Yan arrived behind Li Mu, Li Mu asked in a low voice, "What's the use of you getting this?" Just standing like this, can you train elite soldiers? ”

Li Yan pulled Li Mu's shoulders back a little, and said in a low voice: "Stand up, let's talk about it when it's over." ”

"Hold your chest up and look up, don't look around, stand up!" Li Yan stood at the front of the team again and said loudly: "Just this posture, hold on, don't move!" ”

At first, the soldiers were able to maintain a posture with their chests held up, but after a cup of tea (ten to fifteen minutes), they began to hold on. Some began to relax their shoulders slowly, while others began to relax in a big way.

"Shi Jincai!" Li Yan shouted loudly: "Your dinner is halved!" ”

That Shi Jin was the border soldier brought by Li Mou, with a short beard on his upper lip, standing eyebrows, and looking very strong. At this time, his chest rose and fell, and the breath exhaled from his nostrils turned into a white mist. He first stared at Li Yan for a long time, and then went to see Li Mu to see how General Li reacted. But he saw Li Mu standing obediently, and he didn't even glance his eyes to this side.

Shi Jincai was slightly stunned, he knew that Li Mu was powerful, if he made a mistake at this time, even if Li Mou didn't cut off his head to this fourth brother named Li Yan, he wouldn't be able to escape with a whip. So he had no choice but to stand up straight again with a snort, and did not dare to contradict Li Yan.

Li Yan pointed at the two recruits with his finger at this time, and said loudly: "You! Wang Renfu! And you! Wang Renjie! Dinner is halved! ”

These two recruits of the Wang family, seeing that even the veteran border soldiers did not dare to speak much, they did not dare to resist even more. It's good to be able to eat now, but if you are kicked out, your family will have to dig grass roots every day to satisfy your hunger, just like those who didn't join the team.

Yesterday two young men went into the city together, wanting to buy some food with their gold and silver, but I heard that they have not come back now, and I don't know whether they were arrested by the government, or killed or coerced by other thieves.

Li Yan saw that the two recruits did not dare to resist, so he immediately accepted it when he saw it, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's do it, this training will end for the time being." But you have to be prepared, this training will happen every day after that, and it will be longer, if you don't want to go hungry, just grit your teeth and stick to it. ”

The soldiers, who had just begun to move their bodies, heard that this strange training of standing still was required every day, and they all looked sad, and some even began to complain.

"I haven't heard of being able to stand up for an elite soldier."

"That's it, if you don't practice swords and guns, practice standing in line, the team will break up sooner or later!"

……

Li Yan sneered when he heard this, and asked loudly: "You can't even stand well, you can still fight!" Huang wins! Have you fought with the Mongols in the town of Yansui? ”

"Why not," Huang Desheng replied disdainfully, "The Tartars come to harass every year, but they are generally small-scale cavalry, robbing the border people outside the border wall." As long as we put two cannons on the city, they will run away. ”

Li Yan nodded, and then asked: "Shi Jincai, you have been following Li Chuang for a long time, what should you do if you are fighting against the official army?" ”

Shi Jin thought for a moment and said, "As long as we rush forward, we can win." There are not many officers and soldiers, as long as they rush up, they will not be able to support it. ”

"What if you can't rush forward?" Li Yan continued to ask.

Ma Jincai lowered his head and said indifferently: "Then run, what else can I do?" ”

"That's why you lose more and win less!" Li Yan said unceremoniously: "You never listen to orders!" One person shouted, and ten thousand people rushed into battle; One person cringes, and the whole army rushes! I just want you to know that it is your duty to obey military orders! ”

All the soldiers were silent, but from their disdainful expressions, Li Yan knew that these guys didn't take his words to heart. But he also knew that he couldn't rush here, so he could only take his time.

After resting for a while, Li Yan gathered the soldiers again, this time he didn't need to scold him anymore, the soldiers still stood in two rows according to the position just now. This made Li Mu in the queue a little surprised, he didn't know what was going on, just stood once, and they were all used to this way.

Li Yan stood at the front of the team and ordered loudly: "Listen to the sound of me hitting the stick, step on the point, I knock it, you take a step forward, do you understand?" ”

"Oh, got it."

"Understood."

"Medium" ......

Less than thirty soldiers replied in a haphazard manner.

"In the future, just say 'understand'." Li Yan commanded helplessly.

"Oh, got it."

"Understood."

"Medium" ......

Li Yan had no choice but to give up correcting their answers, and instead shouted "Forward!" After that, he began to tap the two short wooden sticks in his hands. There are no drums here, so I can only use this one to replace it temporarily, and then make a drum when he returns to the county seat.

"Dang", "dang", "dang", Li Yan followed behind the team while knocking on the short stick. He walked so that the short stick in his hand could close the step. After a while, they walked to the edge of the wall of the stockade, and Li Yan stopped tapping.

"Stop!" Li Yan ordered loudly. He came to the front of the group, which had become zigzag, and reprimanded: "Look! I've only walked twenty steps, look at your team, and what the queue looks like?! ”

The soldiers looked left and right, then grinned, not thinking at all that they had done anything wrong.

"Don't just walk on your own!" Li Yan continued to scold: "Look at your left! Line up with the person on the left! ”

A few soldiers began to look left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the left?" ”

Li Yan didn't say much, and began to tap quickly among the soldiers with a short stick, hitting them on their left arm or leg each time. As he tapped, he shouted, "Which side of you hurts, which side is the left!" Memorized them all! ”

"Oops!"

"Ahh

The soldiers who were hit let out one scream after another, grinning and groping for their left arm or leg. Although they were wearing thick cotton clothes, they still felt the pain of being beaten.

"Turtle grandson!" A border soldier who had just been beaten suddenly scolded loudly, raised his foot and kicked at the back of Li Yan, who had already passed.
