However, the recruits didn't like such a heavy shield at all, because they knew that the next step was to do physical training, and Nima was not going to die if he ran around with such a heavy shield?!

"Now you should also know that there is a pin button on the back of the combat straddle on your clothes! You will carry your shields twenty-four hours a day from now on! In addition, each of you has to raise your shield for more than an hour and a half every day, and you are not allowed to move or shake! At the same time, you have to form a formation to accept the collision of the logs! ”

The recruits pulled the cross-body straps on their bodies, which was one of the standard kits of combat equipment for the soldiers of the Pleon Royal City. There are also bracers, armor, helmets, and matching spears. In addition, each Pullen soldier also has to learn how to use and throw a javelin, as well as some simple emergency first aid, such as wrapping bandages, stopping bleeding, and some basic common sense that the arrow cannot be pulled out directly, and can only be pulled out after breaking.

For most soldiers of this era, it was enough for them to be able to move and then take up arms to kill. However, for the soldiers of Pullen, they not only have to follow strict military law and discipline, but also have to do a lot of physical training every day, in addition to mastering the knowledge of first aid on the battlefield, such as some wound bandaging methods, fingertip pressure to stop bleeding, and how to treat fractures and dislocated bones.

Of course, this is a lot to learn every day for these current recruits. However, Intertek has already taken this into account and made arrangements.

Tianxiang, who has always believed that there is pressure to be motivated, and fear is to make progress, has deliberately set up a variety of punishment mechanisms, the most effective of which is to let them see the tragic fate they will suffer after defeat in front of the group of recruits.

In addition, one of the most feared things for the recruits during training was to meet Wang Lai to inspect, because every time Wang came to visit, he would frown, as if there were still many things that could not satisfy him.

And once the king feels unsatisfied, or when he thinks there is something that needs to be added. Oh my God, every recruit will be wailing in their hearts, and they don't know what kind of crime TM is going to suffer!

Having said that, every recruit stubbornly believed that there must be a wise demon living in the king's head, although everyone could appreciate how necessary and necessary the knowledge that the king imparted, and every recruit was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the king's selflessness and care. However, whenever the recruits were bruised and purple, tired and grinning, they would always subconsciously greet the instructor's family cordially, and then even the king by the way...... Ahem, of course, they only complain at most, and no one will be stupid enough to be hostile to someone they care about.

The instructor divided the team into three groups, one for the most basic log training. This training can greatly increase the soldier's physical fitness and teamwork and tacit understanding in a short period of time. Of course, this kind of physical teamwork and tacit understanding were all proposed by Tianxiang, and for the instructor, he just read from the script.

The second group carried out the weight-bearing training of the shield, and the content of the training was very simple, that is, a group of five people formed a double shield wall. Then the other soldiers carried out a close-range acceleration impact, but those soldiers who were responsible for the impact were carrying shields weighing more than ten pounds on their backs, and it was almost easy to knock over an adult in one breath with the blessing of weight + speed. And the shield group is responsible for not being knocked over! On the contrary, hold the front! Don't let the enemy open a breakthrough from you!

The third group conducts weapons training. This is the final combat training that all members of the training group must undergo, working in pairs, each holding a wooden weapon. Swords, guns, sticks are all fine. The method of combat is also very simple, with one-on-two close coaching by members of the Praetorian Guard who have experienced actual combat, as well as those mercenary members who are willing to stay.

At first, it was still very difficult for the city guards and mercenaries to tutor together, after all, it was too difficult to have hundreds of soldiers one by one.

However, the city of Pleon already has a relatively basic teaching curriculum, and the church will promote one by one, and one will be promoted directly to the team leader to take care of the five team members, and then conduct personal guidance again.

At the same time, the barracks held a collective confrontation every three days, a confrontation of 100 people every seven days, and a small regiment of more than 300 people once every half a month. And the acting content is also very realistic! King Pullen directly built a new shrunken city near Pullen City, which is full of traps, alleys, and arrow towers...... Although it is a little smaller, after all, there are few people and there is not so much time.

However, it is still expanding a little bit, and the soldiers who have entered the training can also gain a lot of experience in attacking the castle in the future, even if they don't have to go to the dangerous battlefield.

Of course, there is no way to conduct large-scale training and acting in the field, but the internal confrontation of the legion every month can be regarded as acting. It's just that due to the lack of a large number of long-range troops in the city of Pulun, and the amount of crossbows is not high, it can only be used for infantry training, and even the cavalry has been temporarily shelved due to the limitation of horses.

However, because of this, the infantry of the Pulon King City is almost ungodly! If this group of soldiers really achieved the training targets in full accordance with Han Tianxiang's training method, they would undoubtedly be an extremely silent, ruthless, and terrified army on the battlefield in the future. And what is even more terrifying is that the mortality rate of this army will be more than ten times lower than that of the troops of the same era! Because every soldier is familiar with the rules of emergency first aid on the battlefield, even if they fight in adversity, it is difficult for this unit to suffer greater blows and losses in casualties and morale!

"Wang, is it enough to train like this?"

Ni and Tianxiang rode on horseback and stood on the hill, looking at the recruits trained at the foot of the mountain, this new force will replace the original city guard system and become the new blood of the new Pulun Legion. The original members of the City Guard have now been upgraded to the October Praetorian Guard, which is Tianxiang's personal guard.

"That's enough, just learn that."

Tianxiang closed his eyes and said slowly.

“…… Wang, could you please explain? ”

Tianxiang looked at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and he said: "Exercising physical fitness is the foundation of their survival, if you don't even have the physical strength to fight a protracted battle, or lose all the strength to resist in just five minutes, then no matter what you do, it will be useless." So a lot of physical training is necessary. ”

"However, legion combat relies on more than just physical fitness, that is only the foundation of a qiē. In order for a legion to fully exert its combat effectiveness, in addition to the excellence of the commander, it is also necessary to have a tacit understanding between the soldiers. Let them act together, eat together, rest together, train together, and if one person succeeds, the whole team will be honored, and if one person fails, the rest will suffer. The second stage of training is to let these soldiers get used to the life of the group in their daily life and even in the days to come, so that they can wholeheartedly regard the group as themselves and become a member of the team. In this way, the group will lead the detachment, the detachment will lead the brigade, and the brigade will lead the entire corps. ”

"The image point is a metaphor for the legion is a war machine, and each combat unit is a screw or button in it...... According to your understanding, it should be interpreted as a split pole and canvas on a sail. ”

Nee nodded, indicating that he understood.

Tianxiang continued, "But that wasn't enough, because that's just what ordinary soldiers have to do. But these people in front of you ...... Not soldiers yet. ”

Ne: "But they're already trained to be soldiers, and when they're done, they'll be able to serve the city of Pullon as a good soldier." ”

Tianxiang curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the recruits training at the foot of the mountain. His eyes were full of cold gaze, full of unrecognizable looks.

Tianxiang: "Ne, a person who has not been on the battlefield cannot be called a soldier or a warrior. They're too vulnerable, too weak to give me a team of a hundred peasants and I'll be able to slaughter all three hundred recruits here, and I swear to God they'll never know what happened until the moment they die. Look at how desperately they train, that's the basics of what they have to pay to stay alive. However, when it comes to wanting to serve my Puron Royal City, and even expanding the territory...... Far from enough, there is too much to learn, too much to know, and too much to understand. I can't tell them all the knowledge you lack, and I can only hold on to their lives as much as possible by such backward and inefficient means as I am now. ”

"But these are the limits of what I can do in the current era." Tianxiang shook his head and sighed, as if he was a little nostalgic for the old days. "Now they're not soldiers, they're just a bunch of people. The incompetent, the weak, the fragile, the ordinary people who don't deserve to be my pawns at all. So if they really want to be a hole card in my hand, a piece in my hand can be used by me...... First of all, you have to go through the baptism of blood like the Praetorian Guards. ”

Turning around, Tianxiang returned to the Puren King City without looking back.

"Let's go, Nee."

"Yes, king!"

Ni and Tianxiang walked side by side, and their figures gradually disappeared into the mountain.

Occasionally, there would be words from the forest path when the two of them were chatting.

"We have a lot of things to do next, starting with the sixth and seventh batches of new immigrants, as well as the recent discovery of iron ore in the mountains and the development of new weapons in the Puron King's City............."

"Understood, King. In addition, there is the collection of lime and the construction of the improved city wall, and whether we ...... the expansion of the royal city."
