Under the scorching sun, Yuan Xi stood at the end of the line. The entire team stood in several columns, and at the front was Feng Yan, the leader of a song. Yuan Xi poked his head out and looked forward, the whole team was crooked and untidy.

The queue of people here is very random, everyone is in a good mood, today I will line up in front of you, tomorrow you will line up behind me, fellow villagers line up, familiar people line up together. There are 500 people in a song, divided into five tuns, and each tun has two squads, each squad has five chiefs, similar to the squad leaders or platoon leaders in later generations.

After the team gathered, everyone talked and laughed, shaking their heads. Then the number of teams in each team is beginning to count, basically there will be no shortage, even if it is missing, according to Yuan Xi's estimate, it will not be able to find out.

Everyone stood in a boxy array and then split up to start training. This time, the main training was infantry formation against cavalry. Feng Yan explained the main points and described the characteristics of the Youzhou cavalry in a targeted manner.

"A few days ago, the Yecheng garrison met the enemy at the gate of the city, 500 people against 50 cavalry, but before the cavalry could rush, their formation dispersed. In this case, even if you die, you can't retreat, and if you retreat, it's over. Not only are you finished, but the people around you are also finished, and in the end, everyone is finished together. ”

"Hahaha," everyone laughed, "those soft eggs ......"

The first camp is the elite of the Yuan army, and the backbone is the people of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and with the transfer of Koyi to the Qiang land, most of them are familiar with the Qiang people's tactics, and they are also good at riding and shooting. However, they subsequently absorbed a lot of soldiers from Hebei and trained them according to the Qiang people's tactics, and they had a sense of superiority over other units of the Yuan army.

Although Feng Yan fought bravely, he was incoherent in his speech, and as soon as a few words passed, he couldn't say why, so he repeated a few words of advice and began training.

The training of troops is nothing more than formation, salvo, simulated siege, and everyone's enthusiasm is very high. It's just that Yuan Xi was suffering, and the son-in-law of the Yuan Mansion soon ran out of breath.

Feng Yan saw that he was dragging last, so he ran up and whispered, "Do you want the second son to take a break?" ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "No! Then he gritted his teeth and followed.

In fact, he had eaten less yesterday and was on the midnight shift, and it was a time when he was tired and tired, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. But he knew that once he couldn't survive the first day, Koji would find a reason to let him go back. No, you can't let that bear look down on you.

Mullet wood is needed to attack the city, and the two teams of Han Xing and He Daniu are responsible for carrying the marshal. Everyone shouted slogans, lifted huge wooden stakes, and ran forward in unison.

"Quick, Yuan Xi, keep up!" Han Xing shouted his name, but he didn't know what the relationship between this surname Yuan and that surname Yuan was.

Yuan Xi dragged his body to follow at the end, his consciousness was already blurred at this time, but he just relied on instinct, his hand seemed to be on it, but in fact he didn't make any effort. With a bang, the sassal wood crashed into the wooden wall, and the preset wooden wall collapsed with a bang. He also lay on the ground with a bang.

After half a day of training, everyone was sweaty, so they lined up in an orderly manner to take a bath in a nearby water pool. That Shuibo is actually a wetland, and wetlands seem to be common in this era, and there are many mountains and lakes around Guangye City. The soldier entered the water and startled a field of waterfowl. Seeing that Yuan Xi was hungry, there were so many wild animals, why didn't anyone think of roasting a bird to eat.

When I got back to the camp, it was still two hours before it got dark. In terms of the amount of training, it cannot be compared with the armies of later generations. At this time, the ancients were actually relatively lazy, and even the emperor went to court, but it was only for an hour or two, and all the official offices were resting in the afternoon.

It's always time to find something to do with such a long break. There are not many recreational activities in the army, the most common being archery. Find a rock, or make a circle with a rope, and everyone shoots into it to see who is the most accurate. Gambling is not allowed in the army, but there will also be some lottery heads, such as who loses and who is on duty, or who loses the meal to separate half of the people.

In this case, Yuan Xi just joined in the fun, but he still inevitably called someone to get off the field. Then, half of the main meal I ate in the afternoon, and I had to continue to be on duty tonight. A little friend named Xu Dayan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother has to practice." ”

However, during the meal, Xu Dayan of the same army, Fan Yang and others still gave him some food. After this day's training, his gritted teeth and perseverance have been recognized by everyone, and he has gradually integrated into the collective. These men in the army are simple people, as long as you sweat and bleed with them, they will recognize you as their own.

The food was not bad, a piece of wheat cake, steamed beans and a bit of jerky. Although the nutrition is not good, it is enough to fill the stomach, but the taste is really not good. Yuan Xi thought to himself that if he opened a company to supply canned military rations, maybe he would be able to make a fortune in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. This was the first thing he could do when he came to this era.

When they entered the tent, some of their companions fell asleep. Although Yuan Xi was tired, he had no sleepiness at this time. Compared with Yuan's mansion, he can experience the reality of traveling through ancient times more here. When I was in Yuan's Mansion, it was similar to making costume films in the film and television city. The maid and servant would salute when they saw him, Yuan Fu was sent by him, and Zhen Ji, who was as beautiful as a fairy in the painting, added fragrance on her red sleeves every night. So much so that when I draw a knife and kill someone, I think it's an illusion of a dream. Here, I sweated like rain and really felt the atmosphere of this era.

Feng Yan also came to the tent, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is it?" Is it enough to eat? ”

The companions of the same team couldn't help but look at him twice when they saw that the company commander had come to visit this newcomer.

Yuan Xi looked at the comrades-in-arms who had gathered, nodded and said, "It's okay." But ......"

Feng Yan said: "But what? The general said that if you have any requirements, just mention them. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Today's drill felt chaotic, it took fifteen minutes for the army to be assembled, if the enemy attacked, these fifteen minutes were enough to kill everyone." ”

To be honest, he doesn't understand military affairs. However, as a trainee of the party school, he has visited the exercises and daily training of the garrison units of several military regions, and has also read some military works, so he understands the mechanism of the modern army. The modern military system can be said to have emerged from the West, and the most representative is the old Moltke in Germany, including the staff system, the mobilization system, and some modern military concepts, all of which evolved from modern Europe. It was only in the late Qing Dynasty that China began to absorb the experience of the West and began to train the new army, and it was not until after the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that a modern national defense force was formed.

These things, while he was training today, suddenly flashed in his mind, and at this time he mentioned them casually.

Feng Yan didn't understand how long "15 minutes" was, but he also knew what he meant, so he said: "Don't talk about us, if those miscellaneous troops under Yuan Gong can't be assembled in half an hour." There are many difficulties in this, you look at how many tun commanders, how many Shi chiefs, how many Wu commanders, so many people, how can they manage one by one? ”

Yuan Xi said: "It has nothing to do with the small number of people, it is the organization of the whole system that has a problem." ”

Feng Yan felt that he was saying that his training was not good, so his eyes widened, and his tone was slightly displeased, and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with my training method?" ”
