Zhao Zhiman's method of training rookies is very simple, let them run, keep running.

When he was tired of running, he would continue, and the rest time was getting shorter and shorter, and he rode behind him with a whip, and if he ran slowly, he would be beaten.

I have to say that those teenagers actually have very good endurance, but if no one whips them, they will never be able to stimulate their full potential. Under the whip of Zhao Zhiman, the living king of Hades, they squeezed out more of their potential again and again.

In fact, the children of tenants who work all year round are still okay, although they are a little thinner and thinner, but these people are also excellent and strong people who have been carefully selected among the many children in Lanxi Township. Usually chopping wood, firewood, carrying water and carrying trees or something is not less, lean is lean, but the strength is not small, and the endurance is especially strong.

On the first day, the group of teenagers ran 80 miles, and when they stopped, they all fell to the ground and gasped for breath. The speed of the march is not very fast, it can run ten miles in half an hour, and it stops to rest every half hour. This speed is achievable by most people, but you have to master the rhythm.

The next day, Zhao Zhiman sped up his speed, stipulating that he would run twenty miles in half an hour, which was almost doubled, which was considered a rapid marching speed.

On the third day, they traveled more than 100 miles a day, and even let them run after dark, running for six hours a day and night, and finally arrived in Xiangyang within three days.

After running 400 miles in three days, I have to say that these teenagers performed really well.

And the two hundred mercenaries recruited by Zhao Zhiman, although they scolded and scolded all the way and ran in no formation, but every time they stopped to rest, they still had the spirit to brag there, which shows that these people actually have the strength to spare.

"The people picked by San Lang are not bad, although they have not carried weight for the past three days, and the luggage is carried by mules and horses, but it is still good to be able to stick to it all the way. With a little training and polishing, this is a good group of soldiers. ”

He used to lead troops, and when he marched on foot, he often marched for an hour and 20 miles, and traveled about 80 miles a day. Rapid marches are forty miles per hour, and forced marches are more than 100 miles a day, and can even march for more than six hours in a row day and night.

Rush speed is basically the speed of a rapid march.

Of course, the soldiers marched much harder than Li Xiao's troops, and they also had to carry weapons and equipment, although each group of the soldiers had to prepare a few mules and donkeys to pack equipment, but the basic equipment still had to be carried by themselves.

And the speed of marching in the plains is certainly not the same as marching in the hilly swamps.

The weight of the soldiers can reach sixty or seventy pounds of equipment and materials in many cases.

"If you want to become a qualified government soldier, the most important thing is to be able to run. Being able to run is more important than being able to fight, and if you can't win, don't even think about winning. The enemy has to be able to run away, and the enemy has to catch up if he escapes. ”

Li Xiao is very supportive of Zhao Zhiman's theory, to fight, you must first be able to run, and you can advance and retreat to be invincible.

However, the larger the size of the army, the slower the marching speed, to maintain the formation of the team, the team is larger, but also to carry a lot of logistics baggage, etc., every day you have to set up camp, bury pots and cook meals and other time, a day to travel a hundred miles is basically very remarkable.

During the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi led his army to travel 60 kilometers a day, but he had already taken the enemy by surprise and caught the opponent off guard.

Of course, if it is a cavalry, the speed can be faster, and a small group of light cavalry can even run three hundred miles in a day and night.

Li Xiao originally planned to use these 200 or so people to practice their hands and promote the march in the next queue or something, but later saw that Zhao Zhiman's training method was simple, but it was also quite practical, so he didn't interfere and asked.

No matter what, Zhao Zhiman is also a steppe nomad who can be frightened on the northern frontier and dare not cross the line to kill the gods, and professional things are better left to professional people.

And these things turn left and right turn backwards, it's not that it's useless, but the direction of teaching is different, and now is not the era of queuing up to be shot, so it's not in a hurry.

In three days, the two groups of pro-soldiers led by Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic have already lost weight one by one. The three-day march has beaten this group of teenagers a lot, and now no one is as excited as when they first set off, and some people even want to retreat, but unfortunately Li Xiao will never give them a chance, let alone Zhao Zhiman.

In Zhao Zhiman's words, only those who are soldiers move forward bravely, and those who do not retreat are deserters, and those who retreat are deserters, and deserters only have the share of being beheaded.

Looking at the gate of Xiangyang City, Li Xiao announced a good news to the group of poor babies, "After entering the city, take a day off, give you half a day off, let your gang leaders take you to the streets, and I will reward each of you with 100 yuan, which is a reward for your good performance in the past three days." ”

100 yuan is not a lot, but everyone is still very happy, and some teenagers may be earning money for the first time. Li Xiao gave each of them ten settling-in allowances before, but they were all left to the family.

"Play and don't cause trouble."

Xiangyang City is very lively, and it is considered to be at the top of the water and land. The Tang Dynasty established the capital of Guanzhong, so the status of Shannan Province was also quite important, becoming the southwest barrier of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiangyang was also the first important town in the southwest of Chang'an.

Out of the customs through Xiangyang to Jianghuai, Jianghan, and even Hedong, Henan, Jingxiang is the main road.

The city of Xiangyang is tall, with a large population and many merchants, and you can see how prosperous it is by looking at the boats on the docks of the Han River and the flow of people coming in and out of the city gate.

It is said that Yangzhou City is more prosperous and lively, ten times better than here.

"Go see our ship."

When he arrived outside Xiangyang City, Li Xiao did not rush into the city, but first cared about his ship.

"The boat is at the dock." Zhao Zhiman arranged everything very well and took Li Xiao straight to the dock.

At the dock, I saw three huge sailing ships from a distance, and the flags on each of the three boats, Xue Cheng Li, each boat had a flag with a big character written on it.

"Li Ziqi is San Lang, your ship."

From a distance, this ship is still very large, after all, it is equivalent to the 5,000 material ship of the Song Dynasty, which is estimated to be equivalent to nearly 300 tons of load in later generations. The ship was larger than the famous ship Mayflower, which later immigrated to the United States.

The hard-sail design of the magnolia boat has a very oriental taste.

"In fact, there are not many big ships here in Xiangyang, and the further south you go, the more big ships there are. In Hongzhou and Yangzhou, there are big ships that specialize in running the Yangtze River and canals, and even big ships that can transport ten thousand stones. ”

"It's big enough, it's too big to sail on the sea, after all, it's windy." Li Xiao was very satisfied with this ship, although it took more than 3,000 yuan to go back and forth, but it was indeed very much in line with his wishes, and the 5,000 material ship with a load of nearly 300 tons.

It can carry six or seven hundred people, and even after loading supplies, it can carry two or three hundred combatants.

"Are all the crew?"

"It's all right, the captain and sailors have been recruited, the captain is an old captain, and he has been running the Samhan Peninsula all year round, but he used to run along the coast, and he has no experience in sailing directly to Baekje."

"It doesn't matter if he has no experience, I have a few secret magic weapons here, as long as he has rich experience in sea navigation, as for the method of direct sailing, I can teach him."

Li Xiao's ship has been refitted, the cabin has been changed to a watertight compartment, which has stronger resistance to waves and sinking, and the sails and rudder have been modified to sail as a seven-sided wind. In addition, coupled with the compass and compass that Li Xiao made, there is no need to worry about getting lost.

As long as this captain has enough experience in sea navigation, coupled with these magic weapons of Li Xiao, it is not a matter of sailing directly to Baekje.

"Don't worry, that captain is absolutely experienced, if he hadn't heard that you had a few magic weapons for direct sailing to Sanhan, he would never have accepted our employment as a captain."
