Chapter 128: Vanguard
Chu Feng is not very good at training, but he has never eaten pork, and he has also seen pigs run.
In fact, the way of military training is very simple to say, but it is also very difficult to say that it is difficult.
It's simple because it's relatively simple to train the physical fitness of the fighters, because as long as you take out some fitness and warrior training content in the future, and then let these fighters eat well, you can definitely see that the burly and powerful fighters come out.
It is difficult to say, because a warrior not only has to exercise his physical fitness, but the most important thing is to refine his heart.
It's easy to train your body, but it's very difficult for your warriors to have a strong heart.
The reason why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was able to become a powerful army at the beginning was because of the wildness of the Xiliang people themselves, which made them fearless of life and death, and also liked to burn and loot.
Just like the Huns in the north, people on horseback pursue that kind of wildness.
"Training fighters is not something that happens overnight, and now that we are about to go to war, you are thinking about training fighters now, it's too late!
Let's be an adjutant who transports grain and grass, although we don't go to the battlefield, but food and grass are indispensable for marching and fighting.
Sometimes, grain and grass can also make the difference between winning and losing a war, but don't think that transporting grain and grass is a shameful task. ”
Chu Feng patted Cao Ang's shoulder and comforted.
Cao Ang's eyes lit up and he asked, "You mean that you have a way to train soldiers?" ”
Chu Feng replied: "Training warriors is not just talking, if you want this team to become strong, you need to train for at least a month.
And if you want to have a strong team, it will take at least a few years, and I think this will be discussed later. ”
Cao Ang invited Chu Feng into the battalion commander and said, "It's okay now, tomorrow is the time to leave, you can talk to me." ”
"In fact, the most important thing in training fighters is to refine the heart, the physical fitness of the fighters is very good training, and the ones I saw just now are not bad.
In addition to the physical fitness of the soldiers, what we also need to train is the hearts of the soldiers, a strong heart, which can not be fearful, timid, fierce and strong on the battlefield.
Military training focuses on training the heart, and it takes a long time to refine the heart.
First of all, what we have to do is to choose those warriors who are brave and able to obey our orders, and with these warriors, the next thing we need to do is to train their bodies, and when they have a strong body, it is time to refine their hearts.
Because having a strong body is itself refining the heart, which makes the hearts of those warriors more confident.
After self-confidence, it is natural to need to see blood, and a warrior who does not see blood is not a standard warrior.
This method of seeing blood is naturally to go to the battlefield, but the soldiers who have been trained with great difficulty naturally cannot go to that kind of big battlefield, such as going to a small battlefield, suppressing bandits or having a battle with a small group of enemies.
Only a warrior who has been through a hundred battles can really become a strong warrior, and these powerful warriors will form a powerful army. ”
Cao Ang directly clasped his fists and said: "That's right, I have been taught, first exercise the body, and then exercise their minds, this is indeed the simplest and most effective training method."
My uncle told me the same thing, but the way they train their soldiers is through endless wars, and they train these soldiers from war, and then they have a strong army.
The Qingzhou army under my uncle is like this, there were so many Qingzhou troops at the beginning, and since those wars, there are no more than 10,000 left.
And these Qingzhou troops are the most powerful soldiers, and they are also the army that has always been strong. ”
Then Cao Ang added: "In addition to exercising the body and the hearts of the warriors, this equipment must be the best and strongest."
Each of the Qingzhou army has war horses, and everyone's armor is the best, carefully crafted by craftsmen.
Their weapons are also the best, they are all forged by thousands of hammers, and the one I have on me now is from the hands of those craftsmen, which is much better than those ordinary weapons. ”
Chu Feng looked at the sword on Cao Ang's body, nodded and said, "Weapons are naturally very important, but only those that are suitable for your own weapons are the best."
Ordinary warriors, as long as they have weapons in their hands, they can kill the enemy, and sometimes, given them good weapons, they can't play them.
On the battlefield, there are countless weapons, and the enemy's weapons are also weapons. ”
Seeing what Cao Ang was going to say, Chu Feng directly interrupted and said: "Saying this, in fact, it's all like talking on paper, if you want a strong army, you can only wait until this battle is over."
We will be able to take some credit for the Lord to approve of us, and then we will have a chance to build a strong army.
Because if you want to exercise the body of the soldiers, you must first eat well, and this food requires money. ”
Cao Ang sighed helplessly: "So, my father is reluctant to let me train soldiers, one is because I don't have that ability yet, and the other is because training a strong army requires a lot of money.
And now Yanzhou needs a lot of money, but I can't just let me lose like this.
However, with your help, it is different, I am willing to give it a try, and I want to be able to train a strong army. ”
Chu Feng shook his head, he really felt sympathy and pity for this child who desperately wanted to prove it to his father.
The army of the expedition to the west had already set off early on the morning of the second day, and outsiders did not know what Cao Cao wanted to do this time, only that Yanzhou had sent troops.
By the time the enemy spies got the news, the army was almost on the verge of arriving at the battlefield.
The first to arrive at the battlefield was naturally the vanguard troops, led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
This is also Cao Cao's support for these two newcomers, as long as they have military merits, they can stand more firmly among the generals.
And it was followed by the grain and grass army led by Cao Ang and Chu Feng, which was only a small force, and there was a large force behind the army.
Li Dao's troops were stationed in Chang'an, and if you want to get to Chang'an, you must first pass through Luoyang, and then it is the pass where Luoyang and Chang'an are seen, which is guarded by Li Dao's people, and it is also a difficult place to attack.
Not to mention that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, because this pass is only a tall city wall built on the official road from Luoyang to Chang'an, which is guarded by soldiers.
This will be the first battle in the Faction!
