Chapter 68: Recruit Season (1)

Early the next morning, before dawn, the fierce drums in the barracks sounded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is the time of the month, and the promotion of the account at the time of the month is a new rule in the army.

The officers, who had memorized the books all night, rushed into their barracks with sticks in their hands, red eyes.

There was no place to live, and there was a loud scolding and the sound of sticks being pumped on people: "Get up, get up!" ”

"Get dressed and order!"

"Straight lady thief, are you a little lady? Hurry up for Lao Tzu, if you lose someone to me, see how I clean up your birdman in the future! ”

……

Except for a few of the officers who can read and write, most of them are illiterate, and it is almost fatal for them to memorize a thick book of drill manuals. Even Yue Yun took nearly an hour to barely remember.

As for the others, they almost didn't sleep all night, and they were all angry, and they punished their subordinates, and they were extremely ruthless.

The only exception is Lu Can, this scholar only read it once, and he was able to recite it backwards, so shocked that everyone's eyes were about to fall to the ground - genius!

Among the 1,000 men and horses in the entire Sizhou battalion, Mo said that 800 recruits, even if they were the other 200 veterans who had experienced the battle of Pingyuan Town, they were in Jiankang for a month, no one restrained them, they were eating and drinking outside all day long, and the military discipline was also very lax.

It took about twenty minutes for a thousand people to run to the playground that had just been leveled out in disheveled clothes, huddled together with weapons in a mess, and not in formation.

From the beating of the drum to the present, Wang Shen has been counting in his heart, and when he saw his subordinates so scattered, he couldn't help frowning.

Not to mention the soldiers of the old baggage battalion, I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. As for the recruits, during the month from Jiangbei to Jiankang, although they went through a simple formation, the troops were in a state of fleeing and transferring. And Wang Shen had to recruit soldiers and buy supplies on weekdays, so he didn't have time to train them at all. The composition of the recruits is complicated, all he needs to do is to show kindness, if he is too strict with them, the troops will not say that there will be deserters.

Now that I have finally settled down and concentrated in the barracks, I don't have to worry about this.

The discipline of the troops is chaotic, but the physical fitness of the Song people is not bad, standing there, they all look mighty and majestic. Moreover, the soldiers are all selected good families, and they all have simple and honest faces, which makes Wang Shen very pleased.

As long as the health is good, a person is honest and a qualified soldier. As for discipline and fighting qualities, more training will be enough.

Wang Shen stood at the front of the team and said loudly: "Everyone has also seen it, the barracks are available, and I, Wang, also guarantee that you will have three meals a day and will not be hungry or cold." Now that you have a weapon in your hands and an officer to lead you, you are considered a sergeant. However, you are still far from being a true warrior. What a soldier does, that's what he has to fight on the battlefield. If you don't kill the enemy, you will be beheaded by the enemy, and there is no fluke. ”

"From now on, you will be trained for a month. Only after strict drills can you survive and gain merit. So, what is a drill? ”

"The first is physical training, in short, strength and endurance. You must be able to wear heavy armor, be able to use weapons, and be able to walk all day in one breath without being tired. Some of you have seen the weapons in the hands of the Jurchen Tartars, and a knife weighs more than 20 catties, and if you don't have enough strength to stand it, don't cry out if you die. ”

"The second is how to use the weapons in your hands. Yesterday you were divided into different arms, sword and shield men, spearmen, crossbowmen, and bearers, and different classes have different ways of fighting, so you have to learn from scratch. ”

"The third is the method of battle in battle. To put it simply, when you go to the battlefield, where should you stand, where should you rush when attacking, and how to kill the enemy. A person's strength is limited, thousands of troops and horses are crowded together on the battlefield, you can block the enemy in front of you, what to do on your side, this needs to be handed over to your comrades, and your comrades-in-arms will provide you with protection. In the same way, you have to protect your fellow travelers. ”

"After practicing for these three days, I don't dare to say anything else, I can guarantee that you can survive on the battlefield. War is actually very simple, it is two organized groups, pick up weapons and catch teams to fight. You win, you live; You lose, you die. ”

"Now, the whole team, in a large group, starts running. The last team will be punished, go! ”

Under the leadership of Wang Shen, a thousand soldiers wore armor and equipment, and ran out of the barracks quickly.

This morning's morning jog Wang Shen did not exercise much, only six miles away. After all, the human body needs to have a gradual adaptation process, and it can only increase the amount when it adapts.

I have to say that most of the soldiers are in good physical condition, and they can run easily in the first 1,000 meters. By the second kilometer, the soldier's pace slowed down, his body began to sweat, and his breathing became heavy.

After all, he was wearing armor and holding weapons in his hands, and the average weight of the equipment on his body was ten catties per person. Everyone couldn't stop gasping with their mouths open, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and the top of their heads were full of white gas.

Gradually, each brigade became the first to fall behind.

According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, each brigade had 45 soldiers, and the Sizhou battalion had more than 100 people.

At the beginning, the formation of the troops was still very tight, and in the end, the teams were scattered, you have me, I have you, and it was so chaotic that it couldn't be more chaotic.

The officers were in a hurry, and they didn't need to hit the sticks to whip the buttocks of the lagging soldiers: "Hurry up, keep up, damn, do you want to implicate us?" I can spare you, but others can't. "According to the military law regulations, the brigade where the last person in physical training is located will be fined two miles.

After eating the officer's stick, the soldier screamed in pain, and had to lift his spirits again. However, after running a little longer, he fell behind again.

Among them, Yue Yun's backswain was the worst. Although the backman is the strongest man in the army, he has the most and heaviest equipment on his body, and after running four miles, some people really can't stand it, and they fall to the end.

Yue Yun's heart was arrogant, and when he saw this situation, his face turned blue with anger, and he couldn't stop scolding his mother, and he was extremely ruthless.

But it was still useless, and one of the soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore, and fell to the ground with a thud, and the iron armor on his body stirred up a cloud of dust.

"Get up, get up for Lao Tzu, and look for death!" Yue Yun's eyes were full of fierce light, and he kept kicking at the man.

But the man remained motionless, just crying, "Kill me, kill me!" ”

"I really don't dare to kill people!" Yue Yun was furious, pulled out the knife, and with a bang, the blade pressed against the man's face and sank into the ground.

"Ahh The man was finally frightened, jumped up like an electric shock, and rushed forward desperately.

Yue Yun continued to scold: "I know it's bad, thief bird, you don't drink water, the master has to press his head strongly." ”

Wang Shen smiled secretly in his heart, and then reached out and took the weapon from the soldier's hand and carried it on his shoulder: "Soldier, if you can't run, I'll take it for you." ”

The soldier was taken off by Wang Shen from the axe in his hand and the knife and bone hanging on his waist, and suddenly lost ten catties of burden, and suddenly became brisk. I was grateful: "General, this is ...... How does this make ...... Whew...... Whew......"

"We are a team, we are a unit, we are all brothers. Pao Ze couldn't run on the battlefield and was injured, and the people around him had the responsibility to lend a hand. ”

"It's okay, this is my team's soldiers, let me come!" Yue Yun snatched the weapon from Wang Shen's hand and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Listen to the others, if the robe around you can't run, help you up, and you can't throw away anyone." ”

Not only Yue Yun was here, but the officers of other teams also followed suit.

Finally, the weight-bearing trail run on the six-mile road is finally over. The last brigade was punished with 200 push-ups each, and they were so tired that they vomited all the jaundice and collapsed on the ground for a long time before they could move.

Seeing that they were punished so badly, everyone else was afraid in their hearts, and said in their hearts, we can't end up tomorrow, but fortunately, this damn run is finally over, it's too bitter.

However, they did not know that this was the beginning, after breakfast, there were more training programs, and as soon as they were not done, the officers would mercilessly order them to lie down, two hundred push-ups.

Although the morning training was not very physically demanding, it was annoying that everyone was going crazy. That is to let later generations of college students and recruit company soldiers talk about the maneuver and queue of tiger color.

The troops soon formed a small phalanx on the playground with the capital as a unit, and then they stood upright, took a break, turned in place, ran in unison, assembled, disbanded, reported the number, neatly, and walked in ......

The whole playground was boiling, and there were thousands of men yelling "one-two, one-two, one-two, three-four......", the roar was quiet, and a military stick was pumped on your back.

One of the most uncomfortable is the military posture training, which requires the legs to be aligned, the legs straight, and the abdomen to be tucked. Shoulder level, slightly back-sized. The head should be straight, the mouth should be closed, the jaw should be slightly closed, and the eyes should be level with the front.

Once someone's movements are not in place, while eating a stick, they are also worried about being punished for push-ups. But this time the officer did not physically punish you, but took out a wooden frame nailed into a T-shape, tied it to your back, and made you stand for half an hour.

Although this trick is not tiring, it is unspeakably painful. In just a moment, my body was so sore that it didn't seem to belong to me.

This morning passed so slowly, it can be said that the days were like years.

Fortunately, the lunch was good, there was a pound of rice and corn per person, as well as meat dishes. In the eyes of the soldiers who have seen enough of starving people everywhere in Jiangbei, it is simply a supreme enjoyment.

After lunch, rest for half an hour.

As soon as the lunch break arrives, the afternoon is military skills training.

Each team is divided into several areas according to the different types of troops, and under the instruction of the officers, they learn how to use the weapons in their hands and how to fight. For example, how to disassemble the divine arm bow, how to line up, how to open the bow, how to aim and shoot; how the brand player uses his shield to parry the enemy's weapons and how to attack; Where should each spearman's shot got, and how should it be forced.

If you make a mistake or don't do it properly, and you're embarrassed, get down on your stomach and continue with two hundred push-ups.

And so on for two hours,.

It gets dark early in Jiankang, especially in winter, and as soon as dinner is over, it's time to hold the lights. Then I had dinner, which was still a pound of meat, with meat and vegetables

But this is a barracks, you can't just light a lamp like you are at home.

It's still the same sentence: the army is a place where rules are spoken, no matter what you do, eating, sleeping, walking, sitting, even and peeing, there are rules and regulations. If you're wrong, just wait for bad luck!
