Chapter 103: Training in Rudimentary Conditions
Qi Laohan's idea is very simple, since Li Guo is now here with all kinds of equipment and weapons, it is better to simply establish several arms, and the arms and arms cooperate with each other to fight.
First of all, most of the spears were prepared for the regiments of the land protection regiment, although these individuals also received Li Guo's training, and they also helped to suppress bandits in the valley of the river and the valley, but in fact, they had not really fought any battles, and it was inevitable that they would panic when they encountered real battles. The spear is at least two meters and a half above, and if it is against the enemy, it can assassinate the enemy from two meters away.
What to do if the enemy hits him, this requires rattan players and archers, of course, this method of warfare will be described in detail in the battle later, not to mention for the time being.
This is talking about military training, and the training of troops and the training of troops and the formation are correct, and maintaining the same formation can first of all deter the enemy in terms of morale. Moreover, maintaining a uniform formation when charging can easily concentrate on breaking through the enemy's defenses. And when defending, it is very difficult for the enemy to kill in. Li Guo's queue training was okay, but Qi Laohan just simply improved it.
But it is not enough to just maintain the formation, the soldiers also need to have fighting skills. You don't need to have many fighting moves, you just need to be proficient in a few moves, you don't need to be fancy, as long as you are practical. But these few simple movements must be practiced diligently, and if they are practiced, they will produce great lethality.
There were about 10,000 spears, and about 20,000 were in the land protection regiments of Hequ and Fugu, and the rest were selected to be rattan soldiers and archers. Both classes are more rigorously trained, and the personnel selected are stronger.
What the people of the Protectors lack is courage and skill, both of which need to be trained. Therefore, in addition to the original 2,000 elite cavalry and 1,000 child soldiers in the old battalion, Li Guo was stationed in the rest of the place, and some of the 3,000 people were transferred back.
Qi Laohan wants to train 2,000 people, and after they are trained, they will train the people of the land protection group, and Qi Laohan must first train them. The remaining 3,000 men remained cavalry and were used as rapid troops. And the 1,000 children who had remained in the old camp had to be trained separately.
To practice the fighting skills of these 2,000 people, it is just a matter of making perfect, just practice more. Archers are also rewarded for being able to hit the bull's-eye. But courage is different, you have to be ruthless to be bold! Treat the enemy softly, two words, look for death!
Therefore, 2,000 people practiced killing while simulating the same real fight as in battle.
It turned out that Zhao Dagou and his son Xiaogouzi, who were in Zhao Town, had joined Li Guo's regular team. Zhao Dagou happened to be within these two thousand people.
Zhao Dagou is kind and has a gentle personality, so when he holds a rattan card in one hand and a wooden stick tied with cotton rags as a knife in the other, he doesn't want to do anything to the buddy who makes the spear in front of him.
However, Qi Lao Hantong guò Li Guo ordered that he must fight with all his might, otherwise he will be severely punished, and he will be rewarded for his excellence! Out of the two thousand, two hundred who trained hard, and each of them was to be rewarded with a silver tael. My goodness, a tael! Now these elite soldiers only have three dollars of silver a month, and they fight!
So, the spearman opposite Zhao Dagou pounced and stabbed violently, Zhao Dagou couldn't dodge for a while, and was stabbed in the left rib, although the head of the gun was unloaded and wrapped in cotton, but it hurt so much!
Zhao Dagou scolded, "You rabbit cub, come to really!" Before he finished speaking, a gun came and stabbed Zhao Dagou's nose, and when he landed, Zhao Dagou's nose was bleeding.
"Your grandma's!" Zhao Dagou was in a hurry, protected his whole body with a rattan card, picked up a wooden stick and rushed over.
In the midst of the rage, Zhao Dagou Rattan was tightly protected, and he was not stabbed again, but used a wooden stick to use the knife technique to make a tiger, what to block the five basic actions of chopping and stabbing The five basic actions were exquisite, and the pikeman was beaten all over the head and fled.
Therefore, when a kind person like Zhao Dagou stood in the middle of the two hundred people who won the award, while happily accepting the one or two pieces of silver rewarded by Li Guo himself, he thought, grandma's, who dares to say that Lao Tzu is soft dough in the future, who is in a hurry with Lao Tzu!
So Li Guo's soldier became a tiger and wolf soldier. And these 2,000 people will be assigned to the Protectors of the Territory, and they will train the members of the Protectors.
The 3,000 cavalry selected strong and good horses, and their training was more rigorous, in addition to equestrianism and fighting. The cavalry all wielded swords, and now everyone was equipped with bows and arrows. Five hundred of them, without swords or bows, used spears, which were five meters long, and in the face of the enemy's attack, they would line up their guns to contain the enemy's attack. The benefits will come later.
What Qi Laohan values most is those seventeen or eighteen child soldiers, and these child soldiers cannot be counted as child soldiers. Among them, Wang Si's two hundred fire guns are the most valued by Qi Laohan.
Qi Laohan said to Huang Xiu, in fact, it was also aimed at Li Guo, because since he beat Qi Laohan to train his troops, Li Guo has been following aside.
"Huang Xiu, you have to remember that this firearm will be more and more useful in the future." Qi Laohan said.
Huang Xiu and Li Guo both nodded. Li Guo secretly admired that Qi Laohan had vision.
In fact, the firearms of the Ming army have always been very remarkable at that time, but most of the generals at that time did not understand the art of war, and after Qi Jiguang's death, including the Ming army's Shenji battalion, firearms were not valued.
And then Jin was only in this year, that is, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were captured and the red-coated cannon was made for the first time. However, although the Later Jin also manufactured firearms one after another, they did not attach much importance to firearms. Because firearms could not completely replace infantry and cavalry until they had perfected tactics, the advantage of cavalry in rapid mobility in field battles was not lost, but rather very advantageous.
Therefore, this will give Li Guo the opportunity to know more about the development and use of firearms than the people at that time. But Qi Laohan's next division training of more than 1,000 child soldiers really opened Li Guo's eyes.
Among the children's soldiers, the two hundred men of the fourth king were firecrackers. Zhang Xin, who had followed Li Guo, managed 200 archers, 200 rattan soldiers were led by the fierce Zhu Huan, the brave and warlike Iron Egg led 200 pikemen, and the cavalry increased by 100 to 300, led by Ma Shiyao.
Huang Xiu has been following Li Guo to fight, with a pungent personality, and has a deeper understanding of Li Guo's peaceful world. In addition, looking at Li Taiping every day, he didn't feel a little tired, so he volunteered to lead the troops. Li Guo smiled and shook his head, there are not many women in this era who show up like Huang Xiu. But Huang Xiu is willing to do it, the small leaders also support it, and more importantly, Qi Laohan is behind him.
Qi Laohan even scolded Li Guo, "Pedantic, there were famous generals Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu in ancient times, what's wrong with my daughter?" Besides, isn't the training just for her? ”
Seeing Qi Laohan say this, Li Guo was silent.
