"Soldier Ning Laosi's words are also right or wrong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Shen said loudly: "That's right, when you go to the battlefield and fight the enemy to the death, you pay attention to being faster than him and stronger than him." The so-called fast means that when the enemy's knife and gun stab you, you take the first step to put him on the ground. More strength than him, strength is really important. On the battlefield, everyone wears thick armor, and if you have little strength, you can't break it. Even if you cut someone ten times, it's useless. On the contrary, if the enemy is strong, and someone comes with a knife, you will be cut off and your head will be cut off, and there will be no need to fight this battle. However, speed and strength alone are not enough. ”

"You used to be the children of peasant families, and many of you also participated in the multi-bow and arrow club and the horse riding club during the slack time, and practiced martial arts, and some of them were very good. I think that when I go to the battlefield, with my ability, how can I have to cut off the heads of several levels of enemies, and get a few military exploits and rewards? If you have this mind and blindly strive to be strong and competitive, then you are not far from death. ”

As Wang Shen said, the vast majority of these 1,000 people were from good families who had fled from the Central Plains and Huaixi. The so-called bow and arrow clubs and horse riding clubs are non-governmental organizations such as local village warriors. In the early years of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, because the sixteen states of Yanyun were occupied by the Liao State, as soon as they were unified, Zhao Guangyi sent troops from all over the country to recruit Liao in an attempt to take back Hebei. It's a pity that Zhao Er really couldn't fight, and he made a lot of principled mistakes in this large-scale battle, and was almost wiped out by the Liao soldiers.

In the end, the Northern Song Dynasty had no choice but to take the Liao State. The two countries have been facing off for a hundred years with Hejian Province as their national border. The two sides fought a few battles, then they sat down for peace talks, and then they fought a few more battles.

The consequences of losing the sixteen states of Yanyun were serious, not only did the Song Dynasty lose all the horses and enemies, but it was unable to form a certain number of cavalry, and it was always in a situation of being passively beaten on the battlefield. The most terrible thing is that the two sides are still the Hebei Great Plain that has no danger to defend. As long as the Khitans are willing, they can go south to burn and loot at any time.

It can be said that among the Chinese dynasties, the geopolitics of the Northern Song Dynasty was the worst.

Because of this, the folk martial arts style in Hebei, Shandong, and the Central Plains prevailed. The localities also organized a large number of regimental training organizations, drilled during the agricultural slack, and enriched the army to serve as auxiliaries and masters during the war, which was extremely fierce and good at fighting. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and other Dakou troops were the backbone and main forces of the army under the jurisdiction of these township troops, and later the Western Army was defeated, which gave Zhao Gou a headache.

Hearing Wang Shen say this, everyone was curious, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

"Actually, on the battlefield, no matter how strong you are, no matter how flexible your body is, it's useless, and the higher your martial arts, the faster you will die. Because war is not a one-on-one contest, but tens of millions of people lined up to hedge. Wang Shenbi gestured: "You also saw the queue training a while ago, when the team lined up to fight, the formation was very dense, it can be said that people were crowded, people were crowded. All you need to do is stand still and shoot the arrow in your hand as instructed by the officer, stabbing the spear forward with all your strength, there is not so much trickery at all. ”

"If at this time, the enemy slashes at you, you think in your heart, he is using force to split Huashan, according to the master's original teaching, I have to jump to the side first, and then make a dragon tail. I'm sorry, you're dead. Because, you are surrounded by companions in iron armor, and you can't jump at all when you are squeezed by them. If you can't say it, you will fall to the ground by yourself, and thousands of pairs of feet will step on you, and you will be trampled into meat sauce immediately. ”

When he said this, everyone laughed.

When everyone quieted down, Wang Shen continued: "When the enemy comes with a knife and a shot, people will subconsciously parry. But there is another problem here, the brand hand is fine, and it is a big deal to raise the shield. But the spearmen are miserable, each of the big guns in our army is nine feet long, and there are people next to them, and there is only one line of space left for you, how to block and shake the spears. You can only stab straight forward and try to kill the enemy in the shortest amount of time. Yes, Ning Laosi said that fighting depends on speed and strength, and it is used in this place. The problem is that the enemy is not fighting you alone, you have four or five guns and four or five knives against you if you don't say well. When you kill an enemy, you won't be hit by another enemy's weapon. So, what to do? ”

"Easy to do, let your companions kill other enemies. Through collective cooperation, hand over your ribs to your comrades for protection. ”

"One-on-one is a fight; A group of people against a group of people, that's war. War relies on the power of the collective, not the individual. ”

The soldiers pondered in their hearts, and vaguely felt that there was some truth.

Wang Shen finally said: "Fighting is not a street fight, it is not a martial arts competition, it is killing. In the next half month, I will teach you how to win a battle. In fact, it is very simple to win, nothing more than three points: bravery, obedience, and cooperation. Let's go! ”

Fierce drums sounded, and flags of all sizes were waved in the wind.

Yes, from today onwards, Wang Shen began to let the soldiers practice the cooperation between the various arms and teams, in short, when they went to the battlefield, where should they stand, and how to act when attacking and retreating.

In fact, non-commissioned officers should be trained in a queue for a month, and only after they have subconsciously obeyed the orders of the officers can they conduct field drills. But the situation is urgent, and there is not much time left for Wang Shen.

The first training of the field drill camp is to let the soldiers know what to do next after hearing the sound of gongs and drums and seeing the flag signal.

Now there are only 1,000 people in the Sizhou battalion, and the order can be accurately conveyed by relying on the loud shouts of the officers. But in the future, the Sizhou army will inevitably continue to grow, imagine if the team swells to a box, more than 20,000 people stand on the battlefield where arrows and stones are flying and killing in the dark.

In the modern battlefield, the communication of troops can rely on radio, satellite, and data links, while in ancient times, they could only rely on flags and gongs and drums. The so-called beating of drums will advance, and the gold will be withdrawn.

When An He collected prisoners for Chen Lanruo, Wang Shen had basically mastered the method of military training. A detailed training syllabus has been drawn up in combination with some of the means of later generations.

Now it's just a matter of following the plan step by step, hoping that in just half a month, the soldiers can have a preliminary understanding of the method of battle formation, at least ...... Be able to stand on the battlefield and spit in your mouth, so that you don't scatter in fright.

Today's first drill simulated the troops encountering the enemy, gathering urgently, and then fighting in formation.

First, a drum sounded, and then a trumpet was blown to set up the banner of the Chinese army.

After seeing the flag of the Chinese army, each of them looked for their own troops according to the color of the flag and lined up. Then, the gong sounded, and the troops sat down to rest.

At this time, several scouts came running with flags and shouted loudly, "When I meet the enemy, the enemy is four miles away from me."

Then the Chinese army beat a drum, and the soldiers stood up. There is a trumpeter who blows the trumpet, which is the trumpet of the formation. All the soldiers moved closer to the center at the same time, forming a thick formation.

At the same time, the snare drum sounded again. The five capitals are lined up, with the middle in the middle, the left on the left, and the right on the right. Each division is in the front, and the second division is in the back, which is two stacks, and the drum is in the center, and the golden drum stops.

The half-month queue training finally came to fruition, and although the gongs, drums and trumpets came one after another, the soldiers still changed their formations neatly and did not mess up at all.

After forming a formation, the horn continued to blow. This time, the sound of the horn was different from the previous one, it was a short monotone. At the same time, the gong sounded, and when the horn stopped, the soldiers sat down at the same time, leaning their weapons in front of them and on their shoulders.

At that time, when the officers were discussing this order, Yue Yun still didn't understand it, saying that they had already formed a formation, and they should be waiting for the battle, so why did they sit down?

As soon as the words fell, Gu Lie, an old soldier, laughed out loud and said, Ying Xiang, generally speaking, from the discovery of the enemy, the troops formed a formation to be on alert, to the contact between the two armies, there are at least five or six miles, and the enemy has to walk for half an hour. Is it difficult to ask everyone to stand and wait in thick armor, and then encounter a sunny day, the sun is shining, and everyone has not yet fought, and they will be tired first.

Yue Yun suddenly realized.

Wang Shen nodded with satisfaction, thinking: Qi Jiguang is really right, to recruit soldiers, you have to recruit honest and obedient good families. These soldiers in front of them are simple-minded, and in half a month of training, they have become accustomed to acting reflexively according to the orders of the officers. The army cannot have thoughts.

Beside him, a guard shouted: "The enemy is two hundred steps away from me, ready!" ”

Drums sounded, conch trumpets were blown, and soldiers stood up.

The first layer of the Sizhou army shoots with a divine arm bow.

Then blow the horn, the second layer of the god arm bow shoots, and the first layer of crossbowmen winds up.

The horn continues to sound, the third layer of the god arm bow fires, and the second layer of crossbowmen winds up.

For a while, the air was full of dense arrows and stones, and the sharp sound of breaking the air made people's scalps tingle.

The crossbowmen of the Divine Arm Bow were led by Lu Can, and thirty percent of them were veterans who had experienced the battle of Plains Town. One old with three new, these three rounds of overlapping shooting of the troops have rules and methods, and they are very powerful.

However, the next change of formation made Wang Shen's eyes widen in shock, and he laughed out loud angrily.

Guard: "The enemy is a hundred paces away from me, ready!" ”

At this time, the sound of cymbals sounded, and the rhythm was rapid.

Hearing this order, the crossbowman hurriedly retracted his divine arm bow and ran away on both sides, opening the front of the formation and leaving it for the foot soldiers behind.

The infantry in the back was still divided into five layers, the first layer was the brand bearer with the shield held high, the second layer was the pikeman, the third layer was still the pike, and the fourth layer was the spear. Yue Yun's backers stayed behind and distanced themselves from the Chinese army as a general reserve.

More than 1,000 people were moving, and it was said that the direction in which the armies would move had already been predetermined. But after all, it is the first time to practice together, and it is inevitable that some people will be excited to move faster, and people will still move according to the previous frequency. In this way, the rhythm is thrown out of order.

Before the crossbowman could dodge, the signman slammed into him, and then three rows of spearmen rushed in.

Everyone huddled together and couldn't help but scream in a mess, as if the vegetable market that was on sale at seven or eight o'clock in the morning had completely lost order.

The officers shouted angrily and angrily, and the sticks in their hands kept being drawn, and it took a long time to reorganize the formation.

By the time it finally calmed down, about half an hour had passed. But he saw that the soldiers were all disheveled, covered with hot sweat, and opened their mouths wide and gasped for breath.

Wang Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. But he still shouted encouragement, shouting: "Everyone, I'm sorry, how is the real battlefield, you are all dead. The enemy is a hundred paces away from our army, and if it is a foot soldier, he can kill you in an instant. If it's cavalry, it's faster. People don't give you that much time to regroup. But don't worry. Today is the first camp practice, and I am very pleased to be able to practice to this level, so let's continue! ”

He had planned to practice again today how the troops would pursue if the enemy retreated.

Now it seems that there is no longer any possibility.

"Perhaps, I'm too anxious and want to eat a big fat man in one bite. Let's break down this formation exercise into several parts, and practice them one part at a time, until they become a body memory! Wang Shen thought so.
