Chapter 11 Military Exercises
On the not particularly steep slope, there was a team of no less than five hundred men stationed at this time, all with fierce faces, glaring fiercely at the "enemies" below them who would be ready to rush up as soon as they relaxed, and at the front were several rows of archers, interspersed with round after round of shooting.
Correspondingly, there is also a team of hundreds of people on the slope, the first three rows are shield bearers, the front row holds the shield high, and the back row is interspersed in the middle of the front row of people, blocking the lower body of the shield, so as to form the protection of the upper and lower connections, blocking the bow and arrow strikes from the front and above, of course, there will still be shield bearers who are hit and withdraw, at this time someone needs to be supplemented, so the third row is a reserve shield bearer, ready to supplement the lack of personnel in front at any time; Behind the shieldmen, there are archers, they raise the bow in their hands, use all their strength, set the arrows in front of the air, this is a counterattack to the "enemy" on the high slope, but it does not appear so powerful, these archers have good skills, but the strength is much worse, plus the position is unfavorable, it is from the bottom up, and there are more wind obstacles, so that some arrows can go up and even hurt people, but many arrows can not "fly" at all.
Behind these are the main forces of the infantry protected by the shield bearers, who either hold spears or spears in their hands, and they are arranged very closely in rows, and the march is also natural and orderly, and the pace is steady, without the slightest feeling of being oppressed and attacked.
Facing the slope, this is not a favorable terrain for the attacker, it can also be seen from the situation on the scene, but this team is step by step, even if someone falls, even if someone retreats to the side, it still can't stop their progress, until they really go up and meet each other.
And at this time, it is the time when the battle is most fierce and tragic!
When Lu Bu and Zhang Liao arrived, what they saw seemed to be such a scene, on the edge of the high slope, many people were lying down horizontally and vertically, and there was a sense of desolation and sadness in the sun.
Of course, they knew very well what was going on, so they didn't pay attention to it, but walked over to a man standing at the bottom of the hill.
As a military general, although he is not at the top, but the days of licking blood from the knife all year round have also made Gao Shun's feelings and nerves extremely keen, so in fact, when Lu Bu and Zhang Liao got closer, he was aware of it, but he has always been a person who is strict with the troops and more strict with himself, and now is the time for training, and he, the commander-in-chief, naturally can't walk away, so he didn't react.
Lu Bu and the others didn't care about this, in fact, they were also used to it.
Looking at Gao Shun standing on the side to coordinate and co-ordinate, with that high-spirited and scolding appearance, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel something, and he was full of pride, especially looking at this battle in the trapped camp, but it was actually the result he wanted in his mind, although there were still some gaps in some aspects.
In fact, as early as before the Battle of Tiger Pass, Lu Bu put forward the idea of dividing troops in the army to conduct military exercises and confrontations, which naturally came from later generations, in that relatively peaceful era, this is undoubtedly a good way to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, and in this era, this is indeed the first time that Lu Bu proposed.
Military exercises, after all, are "drills" rather than real ground, so it is impossible to have a collision of real knives and guns, let alone wounds, the medical level of this era is really not reassuring, not to mention that the wounded are also a bit more than worth the loss for the sake of drills, so it is like the bow and arrow just now, but in fact, the sharp arrow at the tip is removed, and only the blunt mouth remains, so that being shot is painful for a while, After all, there is no one here who is as perverted as Lu Bu who can shoot at such a distance with blunt arrows, and there are other people who have almost done some tricks and feet with weapons in their hands, and they basically can't hurt people, as for those who are lying on the ground now, they are just "pretending to be dead". …,
Of course, there will be accidents, but maybe lucky enough that they haven't happened yet.
These are actually changes made according to the actual situation, and some of them are also helpless, after all, Lu Bu's military exercise plan sounds very good, but because of the restrictions of the times, it is simply impossible to do it like that in modern society.
And the influencing factors are not only at the level of weapons and technology, but also the soldiers themselves participating in the military exercise, for example, sometimes they know in advance that it is just a drill, so they are indifferent to each other, and there is no sense of murder on the real battlefield at all; Sometimes it may be because they are brothers and partners in each other's usual training, and they can only do it when they practice, so the effect of training is naturally greatly reduced, and even worse than ordinary exercises.
These are the problems that often had before, whether it was Lu Bu, Gao Shun or Zhang Liao and others at that time, they were not happy, but they also felt that it was excusable, after all, a qiē had just begun, so he didn't force it, but Gao Shun naturally knew it in his heart, so it was also very urgent, and this qiē was reflected in his strict requirements for the team, and it had the effect now.
In addition to the on-the-spot military exercises, other aspects that cannot be seen, Lu Bu's transformation and change of the state army, especially the trapped camp, are also taking place.
In Lu Bu's heart, especially since he was reborn here, knowing that he was Lu Bu and knowing Gao Shun, he has always had a big idea, that is, to cultivate and train the world's first army, and there is no doubt that Lu Bu's subordinates have this potential to fall into the camp, firstly, their foundation is good enough, and secondly, they have such a qualified trainer as Gao Shun.
Gao Shun himself is a military trainer, in addition to having his own creative nature, the crystallization of the accumulation of wisdom of his predecessors is also an important reason for his success, especially for the foundation of the later old Qin soldiers, the military law of the Shang Jun, such as rewarding military merits and the system of joint sitting, can be described as coercion and temptation, on the one hand, strict military discipline, on the other hand, to motivate soldiers, after all, for these soldiers now, what military honor to them is far less attractive than the substantive etiquette, Lu Bu and Gao Shun are very clear about this, and they have both used it in practice.
Of course, if you want to do this, you must also have your own capital, but Lu Bu is not afraid, anyway, it is not his own, although Dong Zhuo is a little wary of him, but he can still satisfy many of his requests, such as money; As for the so-called accumulation and promotion of military merits, he can decide this himself, and for these soldiers, the reason for promotion is probably more for more military salaries.
Although these are all inherited from hundreds of years ago, I have to say that some things will not change for a long time, not to mention that Lu Bu has also mentioned it to Gao Shun, and now he has begun to deliberately guide them to carry out collective honor education, no one knows what the effect of this is, but it is impossible not to do it, of course, the most important thing is to establish Lu Bu's highest status and prestige in their hearts, let them respect them, and absolutely obey Lu Bu's orders, which is the most important requirement in addition to combat effectiveness.
Obviously, there is still a certain gap between the current trapped camp, but it is no longer visible, and Lu Bu is also very satisfied with this.
Looking at such a trapped camp, who can not feel the blood boiling?
