Chapter 238: Ease

The three-day rest was like heaven for the recruits. And the previous Devil Brigade Marshal Xue Shao also temporarily incarnated as an angel, shouting at the recruits and gossiping with them. Those who are injured and sick help Zhang Luo heal, those who miss their families help pass family letters, and they try to get them whatever they want to eat. Some people even missed women, and Xue Shao also told them a few yellow jokes, which coaxed these bloody animals to light up in their eyes.

The devil instructor, who has always been high, was so warm and considerate to mingle with the recruits, which moved the recruits to the core.

In the past three days, Xue Shao did not send them any training tasks, at most he called them together to give them a theoretical lecture and talk about the loyalty and belief of soldiers.

Just like when he was in the special base in the past, there was Zhang Youchi, high-intensity physical training and political education. Not only to strengthen them physically, but also to unify them spiritually.

Xue Shao's rich military experience, his historical understanding beyond this era, coupled with the political consciousness from the center of the court and beyond the vast majority of ordinary people, made him more than 108,000 miles higher than these recruits in terms of thinking. When the recruits listened to his lectures, they all had a feeling of being on the back of a mountain.

Xue Shao first asked these sergeants to unconditionally obey his military orders, and then "brainwashed" them ideologically, which made him an irreplaceable political leader and spiritual leader in the eyes of the recruits.

Ideological tyranny and autocracy is the real autocracy. Because before you know it, your mind and consciousness are dominated by others, and you can't fight against it at all.

What can really command the army is not military orders and laws written in black and white.

A general who leads troops must become a "tyrannical dictator" in the ideology of the sergeants under his command, and this is the real root cause of "orders are like mountains and orders are forbidden" in the army. And to do one thing, we must be strict and tolerant, Zhang Chi can get the law, not only to erect supreme authority, but also to be able to love soldiers like sons.

Xue Shao not only experienced these things in the military in his previous life, but also read them in Li Jing's "Mirror of the Six Armies" and Pei Xingjian's "Forty-six Tips on the Art of War" in this life.

The so-called art of war is these things.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles" is something that many people can blurt out. But Xue Shao spent more than two months practicing it himself, endured all the hardships, and even almost died, and he realized that he had not really achieved the word "confidant".

After a three-day break, a new round of hard training began.

The key training subject in Shuozhou is, of course, the cavalry tactics. The recruits are all rushing to do more cavalry, but they have been doing coolies and practicing physical fitness like infantry for most of the previous half a month, and they feel very disappointed and bored. Now that they finally got on their horses, put on their armor, and lifted their horses, they were all very excited.

Cheng Wuting gave Xue Shao enough face, and personally brought his own personal troops to help him train his troops.

Cheng Wuting has been guarding the frontier for more than 30 years, and in his own words, he has spent more time on his horse than on the ground during these 30 years. The same was true of everyone in his army, including the clergy.

Therefore, Cheng Wuting and others almost have bent legs and big buttocks, and they are ridden on horses all year round.

Xue Shao asked Cheng Wuting to give a lecture to the recruits, but Cheng Wuting didn't say anything, just one sentence - recruits, when your legs are as bent as ours and your buttocks are as big as ours, your kung fu will be practiced!

The recruits laughed.

Then, the training begins. The first lesson, equestrian training.

The soldiers couldn't laugh anymore.

Compared with the previous physical training, which can be called the devil, the physical consumption of equestrian training is not too large, but it is really enough to play hard. Cheng Wuting asked several of his sergeants to demonstrate a few technical movements, such as hanging on the saddle of the horse during the gallop to take away the small stones on the ground, riding the horse to jump obstacles, holding a large horse bowl full of sand in both hands, and still being able to drive the horse to turn left and right!

The recruits were dumbfounded and couldn't help but talk about it. Xue Shao scolded angrily, what are you questioning?

The recruits were puzzled and asked, is this practicing archery or juggling? Do we have to practice these too?

Xue Shao said, you should not only stare at the surface and ignore the fundamentals. Riding is a basic skill of riding, if you can't do it on horseback, how can you practice horse kung fu well?

Cheng Wuting heard the loud praise, and said with a hearty smile: "What the brigade marshal said hit the nail on the head. It is true that these vaudeville equestrian movements cannot be used to kill enemies, but if you don't have such exquisite equestrian skills, you can't talk about learning the martial arts of mounted archery and carbines, let alone killing enemies. If you think about it, the Turks made their home on horses, and an eight-year-old boy could walk through the sun with both hands on the back of a galloping horse. If you don't practice your skills hard and lay a good foundation in equestrianism, how can you fight them? The Turks were born from the womb with an equestrian foundation, and they played from childhood to adulthood, why should they lose to you? ”

The recruits suddenly came to their senses and began to train their equestrian skills as if they were trying their best.

Then they found that when Cheng Wuting's sergeants demonstrated equestrianism, the recruits only felt that it was lively and novel. If they want to practice on their own, it will really cost their lives.

Countless people fell from their horses, their faces were gray, their noses were blue, and their faces were swollen. The iron armor that made them feel glorious became their greatest nightmare. Now they seem to understand that the Turkic soldiers generally do not wear iron armor, but only light wooden armor and leather armor.

When wearing this armor to practice equestrianism, it is especially easy to fall off the horse without weight. A pair of armor weighs dozens of pounds, and it hurts to fall to the ground!

If you add to that things like a lacquered spear or a horse lance in your hand and a cavalry bow and crossbow on your shoulder, you're even more maddened. Many people can't wait to throw away their weapons when they practice equestrianism, it's too fucking in the way.

But the commander of the devil's brigade went crazy again, and anyone who threw a weapon when he fell off his horse was severely punished. Because Cheng Wuting said that this is a very bad habit, it is normal for cavalry to fall off their horses, whether it is a horse that stumbles, collides front and back, or is knocked off the horse by the enemy, it is not uncommon.

But after falling off the horse, he threw his weapon very much, this is looking for death!

Cheng Wuting said, it doesn't matter if you fall a few more. If you want to be a cavalryman, you have to learn to fall!

This truth seems to be easy to understand, if you want to practice martial arts first, you must first learn to be beaten, and have a strong ability to resist blows!

Interlaced like a mountain, it looks relaxed, and it's really terrible to practice.

For the next month, Xue Shao practiced equestrianism with these recruits. For Xue Shao himself, horse war is also his weakest point, and it is best to take this opportunity to make up for his weaknesses. Therefore, he did not hold a shelf of an official and was afraid of embarrassment in front of the guards under his command, and admitted that he was insufficient, and he should have fallen hard. However, Xue Shao has practiced military techniques such as "flying car capture" and "extreme obstacle crossing" in the special forces, and they have many similarities with equestrianism.

Therefore, Xue Shao has a super understanding, first-class physical fitness, and physical coordination that these ordinary guards do not have. Therefore, even if his equestrian skills are even worse than those of ordinary sergeants, after practicing for a period of time, he is far superior to them.

Xue Shao also shared weal and woe with the sergeants under his command this time, and fully demonstrated his strength. The recruits were even more respectful of him.

Among all the people, Xue Chuyu was the only one who was very relaxed, and he had nothing to do with the sergeants under Cheng Wuting. Because these basic skills are already ripe for him ten years ago.

Cheng Wuting was quite amazed by Xue Chuyu's equestrian kung fu at first, and later learned that he was the son of Xue Rengui, and couldn't help but be very happy to see each other. He said that my Lao Cheng only serves two people in his life, one is Pei Gong, the military god of the war faction who uses soldiers like a god, and the other is Xue Chuyu's father, Xue Rengui, the god of war of the brave war faction!

Cheng Wuting said that if Xue Rengui is still leading troops now, he Cheng Wuting is willing to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for him. To say the simplest example, in the desert north of the Great Wall, there are many ancestral halls of Xue Rengui, who are worshiped as the god of war by the grassland tribes who "respect the strong". Xue Rengui first had invincible personal martial arts like a god, and then the cavalry he brought out was truly worthy of the words "invincible in the world". Compared with his old man, my Cheng Wuting is far behind!

Xue Shao remembered that there was a sentence in history to describe Xue Rengui, "If the army is frightened, the other is defeated together, and Rengui is said to be a god." Xue Rengui's ability to charge into battle is indeed unprecedented. "Evil General" Cheng Wuting disobeyed Xue Rengui when he was seventeen years old, but it didn't take long for Xue Rengui to become Cheng Wuting's idol, and it has not changed to this day.

In the past month, Li Duozuo sent a letter to ask Xue Shao when he would return. Because Xue Shao asked for an order to go out before, Li Duozuo's power could only be granted for one month, which was related to the laws and regulations in the army. So Xue Shao replied with a formal written request, requesting an extension of the training period for another two months.

Although it is only a symbolic question and answer, it is about military law. There is no ambiguity in doing things in the army.

After a month of bruised nose and swollen face, he finally began to train in carbines, cavalry archery, and battle formations. Now the recruits finally realized the necessity and importance of the previous month's equestrian training. With a solid foundation in equestrianism, plus they already have some kung fu foundation in horse pistols and archery, and then they have to practice these things taught by Cheng Wuting's subordinates, they are really at ease!

Even, the horse combat martial arts practiced by these ordinary sergeants had a little pediatric feeling for Xue Shao and others. So Xue Chuyu, who had been idle for a long time, appeared on the stage, and as soon as the peak martial artist's kung fu appeared, it immediately attracted a burst of amazing applause from Cheng Wuting and others!

Then, not only Xue Shao and the recruits, but even Cheng Wuting and his personal guards and others all practiced horse combat kung fu with Xue Chuyu, the big sect leader!

There is a saying that it is called bystander Qing.

When Xue Shao and the others were practicing hard, Cheng Wuting and the veterans under his command said to Xue Chuyu more than once that this group of people can really endure hardships and play hard, and their speed of improvement is simply too fast, like a god! If we continue to practice like this, it is estimated that it will not be long before we are all surpassed by them!

Xue Chuyu smiled and said, that's because they are people who can survive even devil training. This is bitter and tiring, it's really nothing.

Cheng Wuting and the others suddenly realized, Xue Shao really has a set of military training, it is not good to start from the basics, first train his soldiers to be first-class in physical fitness, orders and prohibitions, and the will is as strong as iron, especially able to endure hardships.

A group of people who eat hardship and dare to play with their lives, of course, can learn anything quickly and do anything! .
