Chapter 107: Battle Array
After distributing all the equipment, it is the formation of the new formation, and now there is plenty of time and the recruits occupy the vast majority, so the training is still to start from the basics. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
That is the formation, the army walks outside, the brunt is the formation, from whether the formation is strict or not, you can distinguish the strong army and the weak brigade.
According to the establishment of the Daming battalion, there are eleven people in one class, and Xiao Yi only follows this name system, but it is not the same as the battalion soldiers.
The battalion is composed of eleven people, one captain, and the two teams are pikemen and musketeers, and Xiao Yi is according to his own ideas, with two sword players per armor, seven pikemen and feet, and two musketeers.
These nights are all under the command of Wang Dayong, and they also train separately during training, but they are with Jia Nei on weekdays, and they will only be with the rest of the nights when they go out.
At this time, the training is to train together with each armor, with the first commander standing on the far left for the sword player, and the two captains standing in the middle and behind the spearman and the musketeer.
The two sword players on both sides guard the flanks, and the seven pikemen can be divided into two or one row according to the battlefield situation, with the musketeers at the end, and these pikemen are the main combat power of the first armor in battle.
When the formation is trained, the firecracker is trained with the armor, and after the formation can be skillfully converted, the firecracker leaves the armor and is trained by Liu Tong alone.
Speaking of Liu Tong, after listening to Xiao Yi's words last time, Liu Tong can be said to have put a lot of effort into the use of the three-eyed gun, and these days he has been practicing the use of the three-eyed gun whenever he has free time, and he often runs to Zhongyang to ask about the structure of the three-eyed gun, which has been very effective.
At this time, each Jia stood in line according to Xiao Yi's instructions, and the seven pikemen were in a long row, with two sword players on the flanks and two fire players in the rear, which was the first formation.
With Xiao Yi's order, the rest of the pikemen did not move, but the pikemen became two rows, shortened horizontally and vertically, which was the prelude to the change of a large formation.
These days are mainly to train a few main formations to adapt to the situation when fighting, Xiao Yi ordered again, the formation suddenly changed again, because it was the first training, the recruits were a little flustered, but fortunately, there were captains of the team, and it only took some more time.
While the recruits were changing formations, Xiao Yi said on the stage:
"Soldiers, Wu Ye, are in a dignified array to fight. In the past, why did the officers and soldiers repeatedly defeat the Japanese in battles? Hou Qi Shuai organized and trained the male army, beheaded thousands of people in each battle, and only lost one or two, that is, he paid attention to the word "battle array"! Our army is rigorously arrayed, and there are firearms behind, which can be attacked and defended, and the thieves can be defeated! ”
Everyone was enthusiastic when they heard this, and then Xiao also commanded the battle formation to change, and everyone obeyed his orders.
This formation is also the most difficult, everyone gathers into a big formation. All the pikemen gathered together in two rows, and the sword players ran to the front and the side, half of their bodies stood shields, and stood up for their shields, so that the bows and arrows from the front and above could be resisted, and the sword players also defended on the sides to reduce casualties.
Shi Gang roared in a deep voice, "Standing shield! ”
Everyone looked at each other and shouted, and the shields clattered together.
All the recruits, led by the veterans, hold their swords in their left hands, and put their shields on the pikemen's heads with their right hands to protect them, and the swordsmen in front of them stand upright and lower themselves to block their shields.
Xiao Yi nodded secretly, although the speed and neatness were almost none, but this was already very good. Shi Gang saw Xiao Yi glance at himself, and then shouted:
"Guns!"
The spearmen in the first row in the middle pushed the tip of the spear along the gap in the shield to the maximum, this time Xiao Yi and the others looked from a distance, and saw that this shield array was like a turtle with thorns, if the cavalry rushed in, it would definitely be impossible to start.
It's just that it's just a rudimentary now, because on the first day of training, the shield array is uneven, there are gaps in many places, and the recruits are also very slow to respond compared to the veterans, but Xiao also believes that as long as there is enough time and proper training, this spear shield array will become a nightmare for the cavalry.
Shi Lu drank before he drank,
"Points!"
Everyone in the formation quickly left their positions, and as their own captains divided into several to, they were still in the same formation, each with a flank sword player, a row of pikemen, and a rear firecracker.
I have been training the back and forth conversion of this formation all day, and the small formation is still forming very quickly, and it can be seen that the speed and uniformity are improving a little bit, but the big formation has not improved in the slightest after a day of practice.
On this day, Xiao Yi found that it was not so easy to practice this shield array, some recruits, and even veterans sometimes couldn't find their own position, and stood indiscriminately, each time the position was different, and the height of each shield was not the same.
Many recruits want to train, but they obviously don't understand this kind of training. Some people looked absent-minded, and some of the recruits began to loosen up when they changed formations.
After practicing like this for a day, only practicing the formation makes everyone have back pain and are very tired.
Xiao Yi had dinner with everyone in the barracks, and the soldiers were very happy, and Lian Liandao said that there were really few officials like Xiao Yi, and the big guys were happily eating a big pot of rice together, which also played a vital role in the run-in between recruits and veterans.
The food is still good, no matter when Xiao Yi is most concerned about the food in the barracks, not only to let them eat enough, but also to let them eat some oil and meat every few days, otherwise someone will excrete blood clots.
A strong recruit can eat two buckets of rice a day, and these recruits consume a few stones of rice a day. Even now, Xiao Yi can't provide them with rice every day, and can only change porridge, rice, white flour steamed buns, etc. every few days, but the recruits are still very satisfied with the food.
"My lord, what are we practicing like this? Why don't you kill the thieves? ”
Finally, a recruit was pushed out by the crowd for questioning. Xiao Yi followed the voice and looked over and saw that this recruit was quite honest. He has a big bald head, wears leather armor from his body, and has a scruffy beard.
Xiao Yi asked with interest, "What is your name and which one is it?" ”
When the man heard Xiao Yi's inquiry, he quickly put down the things in his hand and knelt on the ground.
"Adult, small. . . The small surname is Hu, and the people in the village call me Hu bald. It's a sword player with three teams and four top players! ”
Xiao Yi laughed, lifted Hu Guang's head, and looked at the eyes of the recruits gathered around him.
"Brother Hu, you can ask your Captain A and Captain Wu, they have all asked. Shi Gang, Shi Lu, the Dashan brothers, and the Dahe brothers also know. ”
After speaking, he took a deep look at Shi Gang and Shi Lu, and slowly walked out of the barracks, Xiao Yi kept listening to the voice behind him when he left. When I walked to the gate of the barracks, I saw a few soldiers standing guard meticulously with torches, and those soldiers saluted when they saw Xiao Yi coming.
Xiao Yi nodded, picked up a soldier's waist card and looked at the torch, "Two sentinels, one team, one team, one gallop, you are all very good." Go and listen with them, I'll see. ”
Chi Jun wanted to say something, but Xiao Yi directly patted Chi Jun's shoulder and waved his hand. Chi Jun glanced at Xiao Yi and carefully retreated into the barracks.
Shi Lu and Shi Gang had already understood Xiao Yi's intentions, and after Xiao Yi left, Shi Gang and Liu Sheng sang and harmonized again, spitting and began to tell the recruits about their 'legendary' experiences.
Some of the veterans Xiao Yi recruited at Fort Wing An had heard these things once, and they still remember how they felt when they first heard them. At that time, I wanted to listen to the story, and I heard that some places and even listened to my own enthusiasm, and I completely substituted myself into the story, and this time I still listened to it along.
