Chapter 051: Mo Dao Army
Luo Tong also told the military attaches in detail about his training methods!
Luo Tong's training method is naturally not from his handiwork. Although he has read a lot of military books recently, he has taken the time to learn the art of war and understand military affairs. However, after all, it is a beginner's entry, and the results are not so ideal, and a set of reasonable training methods cannot be made in a short period of time, and the training during military training in later generations may not be applicable in ancient times. However, he is better at being opportunistic, and the most powerful soldier in the early Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the Xuanjia Army under Li Shimin, and Luo Tong has already obtained the training method of the Xuanjia Army from Li Shimin.
These days, according to the training mode of the Xuanjia soldiers, he deleted some unreasonable content, added some of his own things a little, and formed a new training method.
When he was studying, Luo Tong found that the training methods of this era focused on teamwork projects such as battle formations and cooperation, and individual training was very insufficient, which happened to be his strength. Therefore, he took individual soldier training as the most important thing and explained it.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and Qin Huaiyu said strangely: "General, this heavy load will be understood at the end of running and climbing the mountain." But what kind of training is this continuous standing jump and high jump, and what is this push-up? And this, what a frog jump! ”
A series of rare words made Qin Huaiyu dizzy.
Luo Tong demonstrated the movements of "continuous standing jump" and "push-up" in public, and then explained: "During this continuous standing jump, the rectus femoris and thigh muscles are in a tense state, and this practice can exercise the explosive power of the thighs, so that the soldiers have the ability to instantly kill the enemy on the battlefield." You have also seen the power of the Mo Knife, but the Mo Knife is too heavy! There are not so many people in this world who are born with divine powers, so they can only strengthen their strength and endurance through training. Push-ups are a form of strength training that can improve the muscles of the upper limbs, chest, lower back and abdomen, and are especially effective for strength exercises for soldiers! Obstacle course is a ...... to train the agility of sword and shield soldiers."
Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and he sincerely admired: "The general's training method is unprecedented, and the general admires it." Practicing this way is really smarter than ordinary exercise! ”
Luo Tong said one by one about pull-ups, horizontal bars, sit-ups, frog jumps, pole climbing, leg presses and other sports.
These training items, for the carefully selected strong soldiers, weight-bearing running is not training at all, but continuous standing jumps, push-ups, pull-ups, horizontal bars and other sports that train strength and explosiveness are still very helpful.
Especially these veteran ruffians, it has unexpected results.
Veteran ruffians have one characteristic, that is, they are so strong. Because they are elite, they have a strong desire to compete. For example, veteran A did 300 push-ups in one go, and the results were the best in the army, and the other veterans were not convinced. So, one by one, they trained behind their backs, and they had to fight for victory or defeat. Other events such as continuous standing jumps, pull-ups, horizontal bars and other events are the same, they strive for the top one by one, go all out to train, do not get tired and lie down without giving up, one by one are full of energy, no matter morning or night.
In a short period of time, the strength of this group of veterans has improved significantly.
The most obvious is the archer and the Mo knife hand, the most important thing for these two branches of the military is arm strength, a month of hard practice push-ups, pull-ups, horizontal bars, so that their arm strength has grown to a new height, archers used to shoot a strong bow can only shoot 17800 steps, after this month of practice, actually shot out of 20 or 30 steps, quite a lot of progress. And the Mo Dao Hand has increased by one or two hundred times in terms of continuous swings.
There are also cavalry, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is equipped with two weapons, one is a spear, the other is a saber, which is a kind of war knife suitable for cavalry chopping. The spear is used to stab when charging, and the saber is used to slash during close combat.
Due to the increase in arm strength and explosive power, the cavalry in the past were able to pierce two armors with spears, but now they can pierce two and a half, or even three armors. Such an effect was something that these veteran ruffians could never have dreamed of.
In ancient times, most of the training methods for soldiers were to practice their formations, killing skills and tacit cooperation with each other, and there was little demand for their personal strength, after all, the role of individual soldiers on the battlefield was not great.
So there are almost no ways to exercise their respective strength, and the only equipment is the stone lock, but the stone lock is obviously not as convenient and effective as the continuous standing jump, push-up, and pull-up. Therefore, receiving this kind of training for the first time has significantly improved their strength.
This new type of military training method made Qin Qiong, a veteran, breathtaking, and the above table gave Li Shimin hope that it could be widely promoted. For this reason, Li Shimin also specially recruited Luo Tong to reprimand, saying that he had such a good thing but hid it privately, and didn't tell him earlier.
When the soldiers were training according to the new training system, Luo Tong also practiced with the soldiers, and the intensity of the training was only higher than everyone else. When it was time to eat, according to the rules, he had a small stove, but he closed the small stove and ate with the soldiers.
During the break, organize the soldiers, tell them some classic examples in history in the form of stories, and analyze why the loser will lose and why the winning side will win, so as to improve the military quality of the soldiers in this subtle way, which is also the most relaxing entertainment for the soldiers.
There was a lack of entertainment in ancient times, so during the day and almost no at night. At night, there is nothing to do except for the daughter-in-law, and the barracks are full of old men, and there is no daughter-in-law to do, so Luo Tong simply became a teacher, and took an hour out every night to teach the soldiers to read and write.
Train together, eat together, debate together. In just one month, Luo Tong became one with his soldiers. The soldiers also began to be in awe of Chai Shao, and gradually changed to respect, convincing and love.
This is how people get along with each other, how much you pay and how much you get.
It has already captured the military heart of this army.
He is like a workaholic, dealing with things day and night in the official residence, eating, living and sleeping in the official residence.
At first, the generals were a little uncomfortable, poorly coordinated, and a little chaotic, but as they ran in day and night, Mo Dao, strong crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, knife soldiers and other types of troops moved as they wished, interspersed with different formations according to different situations of the illusion, making the Mo Dao Army, which was mainly based on change, run more smoothly.
Luo Tong can already imagine how his Mo Sword Army will be reborn after the Mo Sword Army completely adapts to this formation, making the Turkic cavalry frightened.
One day, two days, three days...... 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks......
Time passed bit by bit, and the Mo Dao Army's mastery of Mo Dao tactics became more and more mature. This is also the advantage brought by veterans, veterans already have strong quality, and their acceptance of various tactics is far better than that of recruits, as long as they are given a certain amount of time to run-in, they can operate freely in complex and changeable tactics.
Although Modao's combat methods are flexible and changeable, they are not cumbersome and complicated, and it is difficult for these veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
After more than a month of training, the Modao Army has been thoroughly familiar with the Modao Formation, waving the flag during the day, and sounding the golden gong at night, three thousand soldiers and horses move cross-moving, like a flock of geese moving south. The formation change was completed in the shortest possible time, and the footsteps were not chaotic at all.
This Mo Dao large array can also contain a small Mo Dao array, which can make up for the shortcomings of the rough big array. The large array and the small array are interlocking, flexible and changeable, and it is really a set of tactics suitable for the combat of the strange sword soldiers.
If Luo Tong had 30,000 Mo sword troops, he was also confident that he would be able to turn around as he wished, and the soldiers would grow fast, but he knew that he was the one who grew the fastest. During this period, he encountered many problems and solved many problems, and what he really couldn't solve was answered from Li Shimin.
Li Shimin saw that Luo Tong was so motivated, and he was also energetic and tried his best to teach.
The marching formation is a compulsory course in military affairs, and it is also one of the key factors in defeating the enemy in the era of cold weapons, and it has been recorded since the earliest Battle of Makino. "Liutao", "Wu Zi", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Wei Xuanzi" and other military books are specially divided into large books. The outstanding military wizards of the past dynasties also attached great importance to this way: the "New Book of Mengde" written by Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, has a special chapter on the method of marching and arranging the formation; Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, deduced the art of war and made eight formations, and the eight formations of Wuhou were passed down to future generations and had a wide influence. "Tang Taizong and Li Weigong Ask Right" deeply studied the formation, and discussed the military formations in the world. Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty left a fragment of the art of war to teach the formation. Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty wrote "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training", explaining the formation in detail, and he also created his own "Mandarin Duck Array" and "Sancai Array", which showed great power in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
Especially in large-scale operations, if we are not proficient in formation, and reasonably deploy tens of thousands or even 100,000 soldiers and horses, we will only make a mess.
What Luo Tong lacks is this knowledge, in these days, Li Shimin taught hard, and Luo Tong learned attentively. Li Shimin's unconcealed and in-depth teaching, coupled with Luo Tong's wholehearted learning, has really pushed him into the door of a famous general.
Luo Tongben is smart and studious, and he is good at learning, and he is quick to accept new things. is like a sponge absorbing ancient knowledge, especially Li Shimin's unique insights and views, which have benefited him a lot.
Li Shimin is not completely useless, in the study, Luo Tong drew inferences, opportunistic, imaginative, eclectic original ideas and whimsy, triggered her inspiration, the knowledge in her mind into a lot of seemingly impossible, never thought of before the new model! Then it was fed back to Luo Tong, and the two of them fed back to each other, each with their own gains.
After the Modao army formation matured, Luo Tong pulled the army from the flat Zuowuwei school field to the field, practicing in various terrains and weather, and the duel between the two armies was indispensable every day.
In the afternoon of this day, on the temporary school platform of the temporary station at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Luo Tong commanded the Modao Mutiny Formation with the Lingqi, watching the Haohao Xiong soldiers holding the bright Mo Dao and Fu Yuan crossbow interspersed in the crowd.
With these 3,000 Mo sword soldiers in hand, Luo Tong is confident that he will not be weak against the Turkic cavalry ten times larger, and he will not show defeat.
After the training, Luo Tong announced the order to rest for three days and return to the city the day after tomorrow! Because the fourth day is the day of the duel with the Xuanjia Army.
As soon as the order came out, there was thunder of joy at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
Even Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Yaochi, Almaty and other generals also cheered loudly, it has been three months, and there has not been a day off for three months! Although the harvest is huge, the whole army has reached the limit!
A three-day holiday is definitely a luxury.
"Brothers! Copy the guys, go up the mountain and hunt! In the cheers, I don't know which energetic guy issued a call, and a thousand people responded!
Luo Tong also swept everyone's interest, so that everyone put safety first!
The soldiers brought bows and crossbows and short blades, and according to the order, they used fire as the system, and swarmed into the mountain, jumping up and down, stirring up the southern sacred mountain into a miasma.
