Chapter 11: Pain and Happiness

The sky was overcast, the snow was falling, and the wind was roaring, blowing on the body like a knife cutting flesh.

On the school ground, the new converts were being trained, sweating and panting. Although they were sturdy and very strong, much better than Li Mingchu, who was born as a homeless person, they were still a little unbearable. Under Wu Ji's order, Li Mingchu racked their brains for training, and when all the ruthless tricks were used, the recruits could bear it.

"You haven't eaten? After only a few laps, you're a woman! Li Mingchu raised his throat and roared: "Just like you, you are worse than a woman, and you still want to kill Liao Dog to take revenge, and do your big dream of Qingqiu!" ”

I don't know how long I roared, my throat and eyes smoked, I took a big sip of tea and drank it beautifully, and then roared: "You think Liao Dog is a pig, stretching out his neck and waiting for you to cut and kill!" Just like you, the army will not be an army, and it is you who will die! Run for me! Run! If you can't run, you will eat the whip! ”

A few veterans of the Conversion Army, holding a horsewhip in their hands, whipped at the backward recruits, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the people who were almost unable to run suddenly became fierce and ran fast.

"They're bullies, and they're going to live?"

"We're here to join the army, not to beat people!"

"Wu Du's commander watched, but he didn't speak, how could he lead troops like this!"

"Moti Wu has commanded, this is his instructions! He's the worst! What kind of rigorous training is this, phew! It's all dying, and it's called strict. ”

The recruits whipped them hard, seeing them in their eyes and angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it to their faces, so they could only mumble to each other. When it comes to these things, they are very unhappy.

"Although it is ruthless, but this meal is really rich, much richer than at home, and I have eaten it to the core."

"You don't mention that you want to die! As soon as you mention it, I'm hungry again. No matter how well I ate, I couldn't stand it when I was so tired, so I just ate for a while, and my stomach rumbled again. ”

"Look at your little bit of energy, you know that you are about to eat into pigs."

The recruits then muttered.

In any case, although they complain of being tired, they cannot deny that their normal life is much better than at home. Although they are not homeless and their families are good, it is impossible for them to have meat to eat all of a sudden. At that time, ordinary people could eat a meal of meat every other day, it was already a well-off life, and most of them could fill their stomachs.

It's just that this kind of happiness makes them miserable, and the amount of training is too great, even with their body, they can't stand it, or they can't complain.

"Don't talk to each other!" Li Mingchu roared again, the horsewhip in his hand was waved wildly, and a group of recruits were busy dodging in all directions, and chickens and dogs were jumping.

On the other side of the school field, Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao rode war horses, carried bows and arrows, carried captives at their waists, spears on their weapon hooks, and crossbows in their hands.

The four of them were in high spirits, staring ahead, pursing their lips.

"Ready! Rush! Wu Ji ordered loudly.

The four of them clamped the horse's legs, and the war horse neighed, galloping away, splashing a slip of ice and snow.

"Hand crossbow! Put! The crossbow in Wu Ji's hand was facing the front, and it began to exert its might, and one after another the crossbow bolts broke through the barrier of the air, let out a sharp whistling, and shot out.

The crossbow shot far away, farther than the bow and arrow, and the range was greater, so it fell.

Until he finished shooting the crossbow arrow, Wu Ji put away the crossbow in his hand and shouted: "Bow and arrow!" Put! "Take the stiff bow from your back, mount the arrow, and shoot it forward.

For a while, there was a sound of breaking the air, and arrows shot out one after another. Although there are only four people, the power is not small.

"Bow and spear!" Wu Ji put away the hard bow, picked up the spear from the weapon, grabbed the handle of the gun with both hands, and rushed away.

"Rush! Rush! Rush! Wu Ji roared as he charged, his voice like thunder.

"Commander Wu Du, it's almost to the wall! Stop! Mrs. Zheng looked at the wall that was getting closer and closer, and reminded loudly.

"Don't stop! I'm just going to hit the wall and try the power! Wu Ji didn't mean to stop at all, and threatened: "Whoever wants to stop, military law is involved, and today's meal will not be eaten!" The right is to give to the poor! ”

"You ......" Mrs. Zheng, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dahe were not angry, and they accused in unison: "How can you come like this, hit a wall." ”

"If you don't hit the wall, you don't know how strong the impact is, and you can understand it by hitting it." Wu Ji clenched the spear in both hands and slammed it against the wall.

"Hey!" Mrs. Zheng, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao sighed, gritted their teeth, sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman, clenched their spears, and slammed into the wall.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering loud bang came, like a thunderous explosion, shocking the eardrums, and the spears in the hands of the four people slammed into the wall solidly, only to hear a click, and the spears broke.

"Ouch! Ouch! ”

The screams continued, and Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao screamed in pain in unison, and fell off the horse. The war horse was caught off guard, and it also hit the wall hard, neighing sadly.

For a while, people shouted and neighed, which was quite a bit of battlefield slaughter. However, if you look at their painful looks, you know that they are out of luck.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! ”

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but breathe in the air, shook her hands fiercely, and complained to Wu Ji: "Commander Wudu, you don't do good things, you want us to hit the wall, it hurts!" You're so fed! ”

"I haven't eaten lunch yet, so it's not worth it." Wu Ji shook his hand while teasing, looked at the wall, and said, "Not bad! We hit it so powerfully. There are only four of us, and if there are more people, this collision alone will knock down the wall, what a lot of force! ”

"You're such a madman!" Huangfu Song also complained: "If you want to try your strength, do you need to hit the wall?" ”

"Excellent! Very good! Wu Ji nodded violently: "Brother Huangfu, you stand there and don't move, I'll hit you." ”

"You don't come!" Huangfu Song rolled his eyes violently, this commander is really, it is scary to launch a madness, if you hit the cavalry charging at high speed, will you not break your tendons and fractures?

"At least one thing has been verified, my idea is right, it works!" Wu Ji shook his hand, inhaled the cold air, and drew a conclusion to this operation.

"We're about to toss and fall apart for you, if you can't do it, isn't this suffering in vain?" Qi Dabao grinned, extremely unhappy.

Since the four of them discussed the direction of cavalry training, Wu Ji pulled the three of them to verify it. The four of them have no experience in training cavalry, and all their ideas have not been verified, and if they are not verified first, they really dare not train cavalry. On this matter, Mrs. Zheng had no objection and accompanied Wu Ji to verify it.

At first, they were not very familiar with it, but as they verified it again and again, Wu Ji became more and more familiar with the cavalry, and they practiced more energetically. Where to think, Wu Ji suddenly asked them to hit the wall, and the force of the spear was verified, that is, it made them miserable, the force of the shock was too great, not to mention that the spear was broken, and the wrist and arm hurt so much that it was unbearable, as if it was broken.

That's not all, one can't bear it, and falls off the horse, and the force of the fall is not small, and the pain is really indescribable.

"Commander Wu Du, we have all verified this cavalry training, I still have something to do, go first, I won't accompany you crazy." Mrs. Zheng struggled to stand up, patted her buttocks, and was about to leave.

But he stretched out his hand to Wu Ji and pulled it, only to see Wu Ji's smile on his face, which was very kind. Mrs. Zheng saw it in her eyes, her heart trembled, and she retreated vigorously: "Commander Wudu, you must not say that there is still something to do, I really have something, I still have to build a city, I will not accompany you, I will not accompany you crazy." ”

If Wu Ji comes up with a similar idea again, he will not dismantle the bones, and it is the best policy to apply oil under his feet.

"Lord Zheng, what do you think of me? Am I that bored? Wu Ji's kind smile on his face made people feel more cordial, but in the eyes of Mrs. Zheng and the others, there was a little bit of confusion about the wolf grandmother, and they couldn't help but retreat.

"We're in pain and happy!" Wu Ji stood up, patted the ice and snow on his body, and said with a smile: "Although it is painful, the training is finalized." Although it is not perfect, it has also taken out the general direction, and the rest of the thing is to improve it during training. ”

The four of them tossed for a few days, mainly to grope for training. Training cavalry is a systematic project, Wu Ji studied the training methods of cavalry in the Song Dynasty, and was very dissatisfied. If you want to talk about training infantry, the Song Dynasty really has a set, and if you want to talk about training cavalry, the Song Dynasty is really too far behind.

Fortunately, Zheng was too erudite, and he actually found a record of training cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Ji studied it and praised it. The Tang Dynasty's training of cavalry is a masterpiece, much more clever than the Khitan cavalry, especially its flexible tactical use, far from being comparable to today's Khitans.

If you learn from the training methods of the Tang Dynasty, combined with your own understanding, and add some experience from later generations, once this cavalry is trained, it will definitely be very good.

It is impossible to train elite cavalry just by reading books, and practice is still needed. Wu Ji pulled Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao to toss. The three of them were very concerned about this matter, and Mrs. Zheng didn't care about the construction of the city. No one thought that Wu Ji would come to such a hand, and they would almost tear down their bones.

In a few days, it is impossible to perfect, and you can only find out the general direction. In terms of details, they can only be perfected when it comes to training, which takes time.

Still, Wu Ji was excited about this achievement.

"Yes! Although it's a little hard, it's worth it to be able to figure out the general direction! Huangfu Song didn't seem to feel much pain.

"That's what it means to be in pain and happy!" Wu Ji patted Huangfu Song on the shoulder, changed his words, and said: "The general direction of cavalry training is to figure it out, but then the problem comes, how to deal with the infantry?" ”

"Infantry?" Mrs. Zheng, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao were very surprised, and asked in unison, "Commander Wudu, what do you mean by this?" We believe that the infantry is first-class, and 500 can wipe out 5,000 Liao dogs, what else do you want? ”

"If the cavalry is trained, our operations will be dominated by cavalry. Correspondingly, the infantry has to make adjustments, and the current infantry, the defense is okay, but when it comes to attacking, it can't deal with the cavalry. Wu Ji frowned together: "If we encounter the overwhelming charge of the enemy's cavalry, our infantry will definitely not be able to withstand it." ”
