Chapter 13 An Opportunity to Rise to the Top
When the hour was approaching, Meng Yi sent people to gather all the generals of the five hundred or above the main rank, and let them come to observe Yang Yifei's training of archers.
Yang Yifei ordered a hundred soldiers under his command to put down their spears and swords, and even take off their armor, and only bring bows and arrows to gather.
Although the soldiers didn't know what the new hundred generals wanted to do, they all obeyed the order, and they were much more relaxed with dozens of pounds of armor on their bodies.
Seeing that hundreds of middle and high-level generals all followed them to the school field, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, but the good military discipline of the Mengjia Army made it impossible for the array to turn heads and ears.
When they arrived at the school ground, Yang Yifei ordered the soldiers to take the arrow targets and insert them side by side, leaving a gap of one zhang wide on the left and right, ten in each row, a total of five rows, and the interval between each row of arrow targets was sixty steps.
In this way, a target array with a length of 300 steps and a width of 10 zhang was formed, and then Yang Yifei ordered the soldiers to prepare in the back of the target array each time, and each faced the gap between a target.
When the order is given, the soldiers will run forward, and when they run straight to the gap between the second row of arrow targets, they suddenly turn their waists and turn around, and when their lower body does not move and only their upper body turns back, they will shoot an arrow at the fastest speed at the first row of arrow targets behind them, whether they hit or not, they must continue to run forward.
When you run to the gap between the third row of targets, you have to turn around and shoot the second row of targets, and so on, until you have finished shooting five rows of targets.
After arranging for the soldiers to start this training, Yang Yifei explained to Meng Yi: "Now that the stirrup saddle is not equipped in large quantities, it is temporarily impossible to train mounted archery. ”
"Running on your own legs can also give the brothers a physical exercise when they are trained to shoot arrows."
Meng Yi nodded approvingly, and said: "This practice method is very good, about half a month, we will be able to equip the stirrup saddle, and by that time, I believe that the brothers will also be familiar with turning back to shoot arrows." ”
The other generals were a little unclear at first, but they were all experienced generals, and after watching the soldiers practice for a few rounds, they slowly understood something, and the field began to sound a buzzing discussion.
Meng Yi and Yang Yifei looked at each other and smiled, and after the generals discussed for a while, after all the hundred soldiers had gone through, Meng Yi told the generals and soldiers about Yang Yifei's flying kite tactics.
After hearing this tactic, the generals were all amazed, and said that they would go back and draw men and horses to form archers.
When the soldiers heard this tactic, they were secretly excited, using this tactic, they never made contact with the enemy, and only shot the enemy with bows and arrows that were stronger than the enemy.
Not only is it extremely safe, but it can also kill and injure a lot of enemies, is there a more perfect way to fight?
After all the 100 soldiers went through the target formation, Yang Yifei also had a preliminary impression of their strength, and I have to say that the guards are worthy of being the most elite troops of the Mengjia Army, and the hit rate of these soldiers is quite high.
However, this was only the first round, and each person only shot five arrows, and his requirement was to be able to fire the bow at least fifteen times in a short time, that is, three rounds.
But because they were not riding on horses, but running on their own legs, although Yang Yifei did not ask them to run at full speed, they finally consumed their physical strength.
In the third round, due to excessive physical exertion and shortness of breath, the hit rate was not as high as in the first two rounds, and at this time, the soldier's arm was opened fifteen times, and the load was also a little larger.
Yang Yifei announced that he would suspend the practice of returning to archery, and he taught the soldiers push-ups and sit-ups, two movements to practice arm strength and waist and abdominal strength.
The generals saw it and their eyes lit up, these two actions made a lot of sense, the effect was clear at a glance, and the actions were very simple, but they couldn't think of it.
This newcomer General Yang does have a set of military training, I don't know what other military training methods he has in his stomach, I have to try to take them all out for him.
The generals were turning Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but they didn't know that Yang Yifei didn't have the concept of hiding private interests at all.
He doesn't care about fame, fortune, official positions, and skills, and it's not that he doesn't have it if he passes it on to others, as long as it is a method that can improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, he will not cherish it.
Because the stronger the Qin army, the faster the progress will be after embarking on the journey to conquer the world in the future, Yang Yifei really wants to see the day when the banner of Great Qin is planted in every corner of the world.
So when an infantry captain asked Yang Yifei if there was any training method that could effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the infantry, Yang Yifei said happily: "Naturally, there is, when the drill is over, the last general will teach the general to set up a small formation, which has an unparalleled effect on the physique of the soldiers." ”
The generals were overjoyed, after all, in the army, the infantry always accounted for the majority, and the Mengjia army, in addition to the guards, had two cavalry units, one logistics corps, and four infantry units.
The physical training of the soldiers in this era also has its own set of systems, but obviously, this system is not scientific, and the efficiency is not high.
Although many military training programs in later generations were not suitable for this era, such as the action of crawling forward, which was not used at all in this era, the method of physical training was universal in any era.
After all, the physical training methods of the military in later generations were the most scientific training methods after many generations of exploration and then through the analysis of the human body.
The small formation that Yang Yifei prepared for the soldiers was actually a 400-meter obstacle, and after passing through the 400-meter obstacle, almost all the muscles and bones of the whole body were exercised, which can be described as the only way for infantry to forge their bodies.
Supplemented by "prisoner fitness" and single parallel bars training, Qin Jun's physical training system is basically perfect, and the rest that needs to be considered is whether the nutrition of the soldiers can keep up, and the intensity of training must be controlled.
Because of the relationship between the military merit title system in this era, everyone's food standard in the army is different, the higher the title, the better the food, and like ordinary soldiers, basically they can only ensure that they can eat enough, and nutrition may not be guaranteed.
……
When Yang Yifei had not yet entered the Mengjia Army, he had been recognized by all the high-level generals of the Mengjia Army, and on the first day of entering the barracks, he was impressed by all the middle-level generals, and he integrated into the collective of the Mengjia Army as quickly as possible.
On the same day, Meng Yi issued an order to form an archer cavalry unit, and after the screening of various parts, 2,000 light cavalry were finally drawn out to form a group of archer cavalry.
Although Yang Yifei was only a small hundred generals, Meng Yi handed over the archer cavalry unit to him as commander, because he was the founder of the archer cavalry after all.
In addition, he improved the training method of the Qin army, which greatly increased the efficiency of the Qin army's drills, these are all credits, although they are not as good as the military achievements, but with Meng Yi to help him endorse, the title may not be promoted much, but it is no problem to find him an official position as a military marquis.
However, at present, the archers have just been formed, and the results have not yet been produced, because Meng Yi has not reported to the first emperor for the time being, and after a while, equipped with saddle stirrups, the training of the archers has been effective, and Meng Yi will report.
This time, it is not surprising that the First Emperor will come to the camp to observe the new tactics, and the time has come for Yang Yifei to rise to the top.
