In the other corner of the school field, some intelligent recruits with strong receptivity can already practice some simple military formations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 500 conscripted sergeants, divided into two teams, A and B, were attacking each other in the training ground. The leader of Team A was Lu Shiren, and when he saw him holding a horizontal knife, he shouted: "Open the mandarin duck array!" Kill me! ”

Under the order, more than 200 recruited sergeants behind him immediately formed a group of five, with the pikemen in the center, the sword players protecting the sides, and the archers in the center, forming a simple version of the mandarin duck array.

The mandarin duck array can be large or small, with a group of five people, standing in the center of the four corners, relying on each other, the pikemen and the sword and shield soldiers defend and save each other, the archers and the pikemen combine the length and short, and at the same time achieve the combination of long and short, far and near, attack and defense, which is very suitable for street fighting, melee, mountain warfare, overboard warfare and so on.

"Three Talent Formation!" Wei Yan, the leader of Team B, gave an order to confront Lu Shiren in another position, Wei Yan was ashamed and brave, trained hard, plus his brain was brilliant and his comprehension was strong, and he returned to his original position in a few days, and even went one step closer to becoming a temporary sentinel.

The three-talent array can be large or small, standing in the shape of a pin, with a group of three people, the knife player in front, the pikeman on the side, and the archer in the back, standing in the triangle, relying on each other, which is also suitable for street battles and melees.

"Enter!"

"Enter!"

Both sides shouted orders, and the recruited sergeants held weapons in their hands, facing each other, advancing step by step, and every purple face showed a trace of excitement!

"Archers! Put! ”

Lu Shiren and Wei Yan ordered almost at the same time, and the two sides accelerated as fast as they could, and the archers had already put their arrows first, and in order to avoid serious injury or death, the arrows were all wrapped in cloth, the guns had no heads, and the knives were also blunt.

"Pikeman, thorn!"

"Knife player! Obstruct! ”

At this time, the two sides had already engaged in close combat and assassinated each other.

"Strange soldiers! Circuitous! ”

After the two sides saw that it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, they issued the same order again, and the strange troops prepared in advance drove up from the rear formation, and encountered each other.

After more than half a month of intensive training, there are still about 10,000 recruits left, all of whom are the remaining elites after elimination, and in this more than half a month, Zhu Youlang has not relaxed for a moment in the training of recruits, and will come over on time every day to watch the elimination training.

After more than half a month of elimination and selection, the remaining recruits already have the prototype of the army, and the formation in the army has also been practiced by them.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the beginning of April, and the one-month intensive training period is coming to an end, and more than 10,000 soldiers on the school field are seriously training, and under the supervision of military judge Wu Jihei, none of them dare to be lazy.

They all wore brand-new bright red Ming mandarin duck battle jackets, below the waist, with iron mesh skirts or iron net pants, red hats, and leather shoes. As for the officer's mandarin duck battle jacket, there are two layers of iron mesh inside the jacket, the green cloth battle skirt under the jacket hangs down to the calf, and there is a sleeveless single-layer iron leaf armor outside the jacket, all the way to the waist, the front and back of the armor have heart guards, wearing iron mesh boots, and also wearing a red hat military hat. Dressed like this, he was heroic, and a man's masculine beauty suddenly burst out. There is a sea of red on the school grounds, bright and beautiful.

Zhu Youlang sat on the horse, watched and walked, nodded frequently, and looked quite satisfied, when he arrived in the middle of the school field, he got off the war horse, slowly stepped on the high platform, looked down at the sergeants who were training under the stage, waved his hand to Jiao Lian and Wu Jihei, and ordered the training to be suspended, and all the people gathered in line to listen to the training.

After the drum was beaten, in just a moment, 12,000 sergeants, 8,000 soldiers, and 4,000 auxiliaries were lined up in a dozen neat squares.

Although Zhu Youlang's requirements for auxiliary soldiers are not as high as those of the soldiers, they are not low, and the auxiliary soldiers in the new military system are also included in the military rank, and they go out to exercise with the soldiers on weekdays, and undertake logistical tasks such as transporting grain and grass, ordnance, building bridges, and building camps during wartime, and no longer hire temporary people, and when necessary, they must fight with the soldiers. It can be said that in the new army, the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary troops is only slightly inferior to that of the combat soldiers.

At the end of the month, when the elimination was carried out to the end, Zhu Youlang personally sat in charge of the assessment, that is, many of the sergeants in the three battalions of the mixed formation were removed from the battle sequence because of unqualified results, or transferred to auxiliary soldiers, or dismissed from the camp, and there was no room for favoritism, and this new army was the life-saving charm and lifeline of the future.

In front of Zhu Youlang, these new soldiers all held their heads high, looked ahead, and the colonels of tens of thousands of people were silent, and they could hear the needles dropping.

Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction, and then announced loudly: "January's elimination training has come to an end, you are the remaining elites after being screened and eliminated, and your physical skills are in the forefront, so from tomorrow onwards, you will be officially the Son of Heaven's army!" ”

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed, seeing that they could finally become the guards and pro-army, they were all excited, and they felt that the hard work of January was not in vain, and they finally survived to the end and became a member of the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Youlang quietly felt their joy, and after a while, he pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Zhu Youlang said majestically: "Guarding the army, guarding the emperor's room, guarding the Ming Dynasty, the responsibility is heavy, and Wanger and others cherish it!" ”

Everyone was thrilled and excited when they heard this, and they knelt down on one knee: "Thank God!" ”

At the end of the month-long intensive training, the shelves of the new army in a town were finally erected, and the officers at all levels were also set down step by step, and Zhu Youlang decided to let Jiao Lian take the post of town commander.

And nearly 10,000 recruited sergeants were also pulled out by him, in terms of prestige among the conscripted sergeants, only under the emperor Zhu Youlang, he also commanded the original thousands of tiger battalion soldiers, and now they are scattered to each battalion to do military schools, so he is in charge of all sides, and both sides are served.

The most important thing is that when the new military system abolished the family system, Jiao Lian finally chose to cooperate after thinking about it overnight, in fact, like other Ming troops in the same period, Jiao Lian also had five hundred guards before the family, all of whom were his henchmen and cronies, and their combat power was very fierce. After the siege of Wuzhou was lifted, Jiao Lian still had about 300 family members, and nearly half of them were lost, which can be described as a heavy loss.

After the new military system was issued, although Jiao Lian was a big old man, he also knew that this young and promising emperor was dissatisfied with the old battalion system and the status quo of generals having private soldiers, and it was always good for the emperor to be willing to forge ahead, and he couldn't ignore the current affairs, and besides, he really didn't have the idea of preserving his strength and supporting the army for self-respect, otherwise in times of crisis, why would he frequently defend it?

Da Ming didn't think about it anymore, and he didn't know how long he could last, but the imperial court couldn't worry about him as a vulgar and unliterate martial artist, and he couldn't worry about that heart. No matter how the Son of Heaven uses to seize the power of the army, the army will always need the help of the military future, and he believes that the wise emperor will not let the loyal conscience chill.

It is precisely because of Jiao Lian's deep understanding of righteousness that he played an exemplary and leading role, making it possible for Zhu Youlang to implement the new military system.
