Chapter 49: A Proud Soldier
According to the location of the news, the elite of the Black Flag found a pair of sisters and brothers of Zhang Wuwu. And persuaded them to follow him to Pingcheng County.
Yang Qi met them in the barracks and promised to take them to see Zhang Wuwu soon, and stayed here for a few days.
Since the cohort training is complete, it has been followed by a more intensive training program.
Queue up, run long distances, learn to listen to drums and flags, and learn the martial arts that are tempered and easy to use in the army, and cooperate with each other.
The intensity of the training has increased sharply, and it is divided into three parts: morning, noon, and evening; if the training items are not up to standard, they will be given less food or eliminated today, but they must not be absent from the training, still less can they run away.
"No matter what your identity is, or what kind of warrior you are, those who dare to flee, behead!" Yang Qi, dressed in chain mail, stood at the gate of the barracks, standing with his sword in his hand, and roared at the recruits.
With a wave of his hand, three deserters were pulled up, and these three people couldn't stand the hard work of training, and they complained a lot, so they wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
"Dashuai, go around us, we don't dare anymore." The three of them cried and shouted in unison.
There is also an acquaintance who is known in Shangyun Town.
But in the face of such a situation, Yang Qi was unwavering and decisively ordered: "Kill!" ”
The three men were pressed down, struggling desperately, and the veterans of the three elite battalions drew their knives, and in a flash of the knife, three human heads fell, and blood splattered, gushing out several feet high.
Faced with this situation, more than 1,000 recruits in the barracks were silent.
"The head is hung at the gate of the barracks, hanging for three days, and the rest of the people continue to train!" Yang Qi's gaze swept over everyone and shouted.
At this time, he had already handed over all internal and military affairs to Jiang Feng to take care of, and he was in the barracks all day and night, eating and living with the recruits.
Yang Qi reaffirmed military law and military discipline, but anyone who found out that he had fled from military training would be immediately beheaded. With veterans of the elite battalion as the core, some people were gradually selected to serve as military law corps to further rectify military affairs and strengthen military discipline.
He also ordered Jiang Feng to spare no money to supply meat ingredients, and also invited a chef to improve the food.
In order to maintain morale, he wrote a military song to encourage morale, and trained the excellent, gave promotions and rewards, and promised to train them in the future to kill the enemy, how many rewards there are, and how will they benefit their families.
All these means finally suppressed the backlash of the soldiers.
Due to the closed state of the county, it is becoming more and more difficult to supply meat food in the county. Jiang Feng stated the difficulty, Yang Qi thought about it, and immediately had an idea.
Every morning, before dawn, more than a thousand recruits screamed from their beds.
At the beginning, there was a lot of chaos, but after training, all of them could gather on the school field in a quarter of an hour, and they were fully armed, and not a single weapon could be left behind, and these weapons and equipment were dozens of pounds of weight, plus ten miles of running, and these recruits were tired enough.
Although Yang Qi trained them in a devilish way, the logistics would ensure the supply of one pound of meat for each soldier every day. But gradually some supplies are insufficient, and many soldiers have some complaints.
In order to obtain meat food, Yang Qi had no choice but to go hunting.
Yang Qi pulled more than 1,000 recruits out of the county town and went hunting in the nearby mountains and forests.
1,000 people were divided into 100 people and scattered into the mountains and forests, and came to a big clean-up against the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests.
But Yang Qi and they also made a lot of gains, bringing back a large number of birds and beasts every day, and after counting the meat and food obtained, they actually ate an average of two catties of meat per person, and the result was a great morale boost, and everyone was gearing up, looking forward to hunting in the dense forest.
When hunting wild beasts, Yang Qi did not forget to train his soldiers to cooperate in combat.
Like hungry wolves in a green light, these recruits pulled nets to surround the beasts, and within a few days, the beasts of the mountains and forests in this area were swept away.
In order to maintain the supply of meat, it is not allowed to divide into two teams and go hunting in different directions to supplement consumption.
But they swept away all the birds and animals in the surrounding forests, so they had to go farther.
In order to maintain a balance between training and meat quantity, two or three hundred-man troops had to be divided into hunting units, while the others stayed in the barracks for training.
Everything is finally on track, and in addition to singing military songs, there is no other sound in the army, and everyone is fierce and strong.
At this time, the soldiers were officially allowed to practice the gun formation.
"In the imperial army, it is mainly based on gun training, and the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers!"
"Because marksmanship is the easiest to learn, once you learn it, it can produce immediate results, and it can be said that it can achieve immediate results, which is the most suitable for soldiers to use."
"When a soldier uses a gun, he only needs to practice six styles, and if he masters these six movements, he can become a robber"
Battlefield marksmanship is not as complex and delicate as field marksmanship
