All the personnel of the new army arrived at the Bashang camp outside Chang'an, and the new guerrilla general Su Dingfang, the general of Guide Lang, Chi Baolin, Chang Shi Ma Zhou, and the chief of the army, Sun Chong, were all in the school yard in the barracks waiting for Li De's arrival.

Not long after, Li De was wearing armor, wearing a crimson cloak and a big black horse, galloping out to the center of the school, Li De's hand was forced, the front hooves of the black horse jumped up and stood still, Li De turned over and dismounted and looked heroic.

Under the leadership of Su Dingfang, he saluted and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

Li De raised his hand and signaled, "No courtesy." ”

"Today is the first day of the formation of the new army, and I hope you will be prepared for the brutal training that will be experienced in the next few months, including reconnaissance, infiltration, search, fighting, assassination, group combat training, horsemanship, bows and arrows, infantry special subject drills, etc."

"Don't doubt it, you are not qualified soldiers of the back army, at best you are just a reserve, lose your identity, lose your previous honor, here you are just a member of the new army, cheer up the spirit of twelve points, I will build each of you into the elite of the horse and bend the bow to shoot the eagle, dismount and fight in all directions, in the future you will face all the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, I will lead you to crush all the enemies with hard fists and swift horse hooves, and seize the vast wealth and land for the Tang Dynasty, You will also have countless feats. ”

The sergeants were all inspired by Li De, what did they join the army for, isn't it just a meritorious service? The most important military merit in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary soldiers who can make meritorious contributions can bring countless benefits, not to mention that there are also children of the family who also seek a good opportunity to seal their wives and sons, and enter the prime minister, this new army is their opportunity, and Li De brings them the opportunity.

"Of course, in order to meet the requirements of becoming an army, the soldiers of my back army will appear in the most dangerous and most needed places in Datang, which requires hard training, as the so-called sweat in peacetime and less blood in wartime, Su Dingfang."

Su Lie clenched his fists and replied, "Yes!" ”

Li De looked at him and said, "With General Su as the commander, let's start today's training now." ”

Su Lie "Nuo"

"All the captains led their soldiers, carried 50 pounds, and ran 5 kilometers cross-country."

"No"

Each regiment began to prepare for the long-distance run under the leadership of the captain, and there were Li De's personal guards next to it, that is, the team of soldiers brought by Luo Ping, who would serve as auxiliary training officers to teach recruit training. At the beginning of this year, Su Dingfang followed the training outline given by Li De, first trained the physical fitness of the recruits, and when he received the training outline for the recruits, Su Dingfang resignedly said to Li De, which started early in the morning with a 5-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country and came back for breakfast. Then immediately carry out queue training, lunch at noon, and then train in various subjects in the afternoon, until the evening rest, whether such a high-intensity exercise is too intensive. He had never seen so many training subjects and physical training.

Li De explained to him that the Beiwei Army is a special force used as a sharp knife, requiring everyone to have a strong military quality and physical reserves, no strong body can not support high-intensity combat, and they will face Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo and other enemies, they either grew up on horseback since childhood, or live between the white mountains and black waters, which can be described as a strong enemy, so we must use high-intensity training and special subjects to strengthen the soldiers' physique and increase the means of fighting the enemy, It is not required to fight 100 against 100, but at least 1 against 10.

Li De was also prepared for a long time, and asked Ma Zhou and Changsun Chong to be responsible for asking for grain and grass, ordnance, and craftsmen from various departments, so that no one in the new army could eat three meals, and all of them were dry, and meat should be added to lunch and dinner to ensure the nutritional supply of everyone.

Outside the barracks, the soldiers were divided into five teams led by the captain of each team, and began to run long distances with weights, and all from the Su Dingfang down to the Soviet Union had to participate in the training.

As a civilian official, Du He was also required to participate in physical training, without him, because the Chinese officers in the back army were not exempt, and they also had to go to the battlefield, and they were soldiers in wartime, and they only did civilian duties in peacetime. Of course, Du He would not understand Li De's intentions, and complained from time to time that he was tired of letting him come to the barracks to eat, and he was far less comfortable than following the prince.

Ma Zhou, Changsun Chong, who ran in front of him, didn't bother to explain to Du He, according to Li De, the road had been given to him, if he couldn't walk by himself, it would be useless to help, and Ma Zhou and Changsun Chong understood Li De's approach, civil officials also had to have a strong body, otherwise how to fight with the army, can you be lazy just because you are a civil official, of course, the answer is no. He Ma Zhou was from a humble background, and he was promoted to Changshi by Li Deqing's eyes, and he didn't know how to repay this kindness, not to mention letting him run, even if he let him take a knife to the battlefield to cut people, he would not frown.

As the son-in-law of the eldest grandson family, the eldest grandson Chong has borne the responsibility and glory of the eldest grandson family since birth, his father is the prime minister, a very popular minister, and his aunt is the queen, this birth is only a little lower than the prince, if it were not for Li De to lead the army, his father would not let him come to the defection with such a son-in-law, and strictly demanded that he could not embarrass the eldest grandson family, let alone let Li De disappoint him. Besides, this gentleman's six arts, his eldest grandson Chong is very skilled, and he gritted his teeth in physical training. Although he is not a good bird, he is also a sideways existence in Chang'an, that is a senior prince who is a poet to enter and exit high-end places, which is usually not at the same level as Du He's gang of gentlemen who steal chickens and dogs, so he is too lazy to care.

Fang Yiai, as Du He's sworn friend, can only urge Du He to run faster so that he can go back to eat.

Before they knew it, the team had run back to the camp, and the teams had assembled, eaten, fed, and had training waiting for them.

Next is the queue training, with Li De's personal guards as instructors, holding wooden sticks in their hands, urging these recruits to walk from standing to walking in the queue, and must be uniform, and the order is prohibited.

In all the teams, not a single team or column is required to stand still, maintain a standing posture, and do not move without orders. But there are some bad memories.

That Cheng Chumo is an active character, this motionless standing, but he is uncomfortable to death, such a big sun sweat, he raised his hand to wipe it, and just moved a little, before he finished the small action, he was beaten by the guard next to him,

Cheng Chumo immediately glared angrily, and immediately wanted to beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, and dared to beat him Lao Cheng, it was like death.

The guards were not afraid, and said, "I know that you are the son of the Duke of Lu Guo, why was I beaten and wanted to fight back,"

Su Dingfang heard the sound and turned his head to look this way.

Cheng Chumo didn't hesitate and said, "Hmph, I'm not stupid, when you have the opportunity, you can see if Lao Tzu beats you to death." ”

The guard smiled, "Okay, ambitious, I hope to give you this opportunity, but now you stand up for me, you can't make any moves." ”

Cheng Chumo had to stand up obediently.

Su Dingfang said, "Everyone stand up, don't ask for hardship, the spirit of this army is the first, and an army without momentum will never be a strong soldier, so the first lesson of our back army is the training of military appearance, so that everyone stands like a pine, sits like a clock, does not move like a mountain, and prohibits it." ”

Ancient wars pay more attention to battle formations, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there are requirements for the formation of chariots and cavalry, and the ancient soldiers have long summed up many battle formations in countless wars.

The formation is a kind of battle formation configuration in the ancient cold weapon era, which has important practical combat significance. Under the conditions of short-handed combat in ancient wars, it was produced in order to require unified command and coordinated actions on the battlefield. Ancient China paid great attention to formations, and there were books from generation to generation. The so-called "array" means that when the army is engaged in battle, it arranges the battle formation according to the specific conditions of the terrain, the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and so on, starting with the basic one soldier, one army, and one column, and all the way to the whole army, so as to "set up a contingent of troops, set up a rank, and be vertical and horizontal."

The neat military formation can exert great lethality, such as the archery formation, which covers the sky and the sun when ten thousand arrows are fired, and can nail the enemy directly to the ground, and the Tang Dynasty infantry equipped with Mo knives can also smash the Turkic cavalry, so that the Mo knife can be broken everywhere.

Just imagine how shocking such an ancient cold weapon is on the battlefield.

It is that in later generations, although the use of a large number of hot weapons broke the cruelty of the hand-to-hand combat of ancient cold weapons, it also required military formations to fight, and it was not until the use of modern high-tech weapons and the investment of a large number of lethal weapons that the mode of skirmishing lines, firepower points, and multi-layer configuration was developed.

The best performance of the firearms military formation is the 16th century to the 19th century in the 400 years of the European battlefield, especially the British musketeers and French musketeers against the situation, those who have watched the movie know that the firearms at that time were either arquebuses or flintlock guns, low firepower, slow reloading, independent soldiers can not form an effective suppression, so in order to improve the intensity of firepower, soldiers are required to march in a queue to the effective range, the two sides are only in a row, a column of shooting, just like a queue to shoot, The first platoon fell, and the second platoon made up until all the soldiers on one side were killed and fell. Britain has relied on this set of tactics for hundreds of years, and in modern times, you can still see the British palace guards wearing red shirts and black bearskins, because Britain defeated the French army in history, and the British king authorized the British army to wear it as a reward. Until the outbreak of World War I, the Makqin heavy machine gun combined with barbed wire and trenches made the line infantry tactics completely come to an end.
