Chapter 21 A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated
The generals were unimpressed with this training method at first, but it didn't take long for them to see the way out. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info soldiers of the new army never ask why? For the order given by the superior, even if it is outrageous, he will not refuse, even if he grits his teeth, he will stick to it to the end.
Shan Xiongxin has the deepest experience, he is in charge of the cavalry battalion, in order to train the tacit understanding between horses and soldiers, these recruits are required to eat and sleep on horses. Originally, this was just an exaggerated sentence, even if people don't rest, but horses always have to rest, right? But the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles really carried out this way, and the next day he saw more than 800 waddling cavalry appear on the playground, and when he asked, he found out that these soldiers had really spent the night on horseback. Looking at the sleepy soldiers, in desperation, he had to order a day of rest.
"Evil door......" Wang Junkuo muttered to himself, "These soldiers are like having their souls taken away, and what they say." The same is true of the infantry battalion he directed, the infantry is the most important type of force that pays attention to the coordination of formations, and the soldiers must trust each other, so that there will be no collapse on the battlefield. The usual practice is that all the soldiers in a team are blood alliance and become brothers, but the effect of this is limited after all, how can you rest assured that you can give your life to your comrades if you don't come from a sincere swearing? But the soldiers of the New Army seemed to have done as perfect as possible without bowing down, and he really doubted that Wang Mai had cast some magic spell.
Cheng Yanjin looked at Fugui with some envy, this kid was really lucky, he had the opportunity to become the commander of such an army. Although this army has only been trained for a short month, the rudiments of a strong army have already appeared, and what is lacking now is only the skill of killing the enemy and the experience of being in battle, which is not a problem for this army at all.
Qin Qiong was also full of emotion, in just a few years, Wang Mai and Fugui were like two rising stars, each emitting dazzling brilliance, and he couldn't imagine that he had inadvertently unearthed such two pieces of jade.
The generals were talking about the new army, but Li Er came with his minions and showed off his might. Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, and Li Er waved his hand: "I heard that the new army is making good progress, and there are generals." After that, he craned his neck to look at the New Army soldiers who were training in the school grounds.
Cheng Yanjin stepped forward and reported the situation of the new army to Li Er, and the generals next to him interjected from time to time, Li Er's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened, it is said that Wei Zhiwu was dressed in the armor of the three genera, and he operated a crossbow of twelve stones, and he was fifty arrows, fully armed, carrying three days' food, and he could walk a hundred miles in half a day. With so much emphasis on marching, is it going to develop in the direction of Wei Wushu?
"Not to mention...... "Wang Junkuo said, "the king might as well watch the drill of the new army from beginning to end. ”
"Good!" Li Er said without hesitation.
Fugui nodded, stepped forward and gave the order. After receiving the order, the flag commander of Jiangtai waved the military flag a few times, and the soldiers on the school field dispersed like a tide, and quickly sorted out the queue, which immediately made Li Er can't help but applaud.
......The two battalions of the infantry army stepped forward with neat steps, and more than 1,000 people made the same sound. The two battalions walked to the center of the school field, the flag commander waved the flag twice, and the soldiers saluted Li Er on one knee in unison. Then he got up and began to practice according to the orders of the flag commander.
The drill of the new army was not complicated, it was just a simple walk, stop, run, and turn, which was completed in less than a quarter of an hour. Looking at the queue pushed down with neat steps, Li Er seemed to feel that this was not a thousand people doing it, but one person, but the momentum exuded was more than ten thousand people.
The cavalry drill was much rougher, and many people had not even mastered horseback riding, and the whole process was slow, and there was no cavalry coming and going like the wind at all. However, Li Er was an expert in using cavalry to fight, and he could see at a glance that the process of these cavalry marching was also carried out in strict accordance with the queue, and even the pace of turning was required to be consistent, but it was still lacking in fire.
"Where's Wang Wheat?" After Li Er finished watching the drill, he suddenly found that Wang Mai was not present, and asked about his whereabouts.
"He's working with Li Shiji to formulate a military discipline ......," Cheng Yanjin explained on the side.
At this time, Wang Mai was arguing with Li Shiji about a question in his voice: "Half of the casualties should be surrendered, and if you continue to fight, you will be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers......"
"How can that be?" Li Shiji also reversed his polite image, and looked at Wang Mai without fear, "In this way, what backbone is there to speak of?" ”
"It's not a question of backbone, fearless casualties will only chill the soldiers......"
"Righteousness is not in charge of wealth and mercy, and is not in charge of soldiers, doesn't the king understand this truth?" Li Er opened the tent and looked at Wang Mai with bright eyes.
"Your Highness!" The two hurriedly saluted Li Er.
Li Er had been listening outside the tent for a long time, and only then did he understand that the two were discussing whether and when to surrender.
"As a soldier, you should have the courage to sacrifice your life to serve the country, and it is also your duty to die on the battlefield, so why do you have to surrender?" Luo Shixin stood on Li Er's side with a clear banner.
"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated......" The generals spoke one after another, despising Wang Mai's surrender theory.
Wang Mai was speechless for a while, these people were kicked in the head by a donkey, isn't it good to live one by one, they have to find death.
Li Shiji saw Wang Mai's expression and smiled slightly: "Manager Wang might as well think about it differently, if you encounter the surrender of our Han army, you may be spared death, but those Hu people of different races will not be merciful, and putting down their weapons is equivalent to putting down their lives, it is better to encourage the soldiers to fight until the last moment." ”
"This ......" Wang Mai couldn't speak, and what Li Shiji said was also reasonable, after all, there was no international law in this era, and the personal safety of the prisoners would not be protected, but I always felt very uncomfortable instigating soldiers to fight to the death in this way.
Li Erfan looked at the three military drill manuals that had been preliminarily drafted, which summarized all the contents of the training of the new army, and the drill books emphasized military discipline and the will to fight, but had little to do with the marching formation. The code was about to be completed, but on the matter of surrender, Li Shiji and Wang Mai had a major disagreement. However, this is not a problem for Li Er at all, and with a big wave of the pen, the six words "Shi can be killed but not humiliated" drew an end to the exercise.
Wang Mai drooped his face, he didn't go to the battlefield anyway, you love to die.
"The army will soon be pulled back to the court," Li Er said, "I heard that the matter of setting the clock in Luoyang is handled by the general manager of the king, and the king wants to build a bell tower in Chang'an, this matter will be handed over to you, and the general manager of the army will not have to worry about it in the future." ”
