Of course, as the first step of the master, the sword master does not mean that he can't beat only twenty elite soldiers.

But the cost of maintaining the Dou Qi shield is not small, and it will be even more expensive if attacked—more than twenty well-trained soldiers surrounded him, and their spears stabbed in unison, at least they could hit him three or four times.

By the time he had taken down the twenty men, he would have already taken ten attacks, and at least half of his fighting energy would be consumed - those who were unlucky or squandered too quickly might simply run out of fighting energy.

Then even a high-level swordsman has a slight possibility that he can successfully kill this unlucky swordsman who is running out of fighting spirit.

If this unfortunate boy met another swordsman, he would either immediately anoint the soles of his feet with oil, or wait for death.

Of course, if this sword master knew tactics and tactics, matched the terrain, and knew how to attack, ambush or guerrilla, it would not be too difficult to kill these twenty people.

However, this kind of soldier is originally used to push through the frontal battlefield, and it is reduced to the fact that people will easily find opportunities to ambush or fight guerrillas, which is the incompetence of the commander.

Luo Ming asked Dungar about it, none of the thirty recruits were more than twenty-five years old, and they were still young.

Since he is still young, he has the ability to be educated - when the Celestial Empire was founded, even the old peasants who had their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky all their lives were able to successfully eradicate illiteracy.

Luo Ming secretly made a decision: not only to train them into elite soldiers, but also to train as many non-commissioned officers as possible from them.

Even if only ten people can become the most ordinary five commanders, it means that they can quickly expand the army to sixty people.

If the standard is lowered, fifteen ten-division commanders, that is close to two hundred!

(A five-man team for every five men is a five-man team, and a ten-man team for every two captains is a ten-man team—that's thirteen.) Thirteen times fifteen equals one hundred and ninety-five. )

It is said that a large part of Genghis Khan's exploits were due to the non-commissioned officer training system...... This is true or false Luo Ming didn't know, he just happened to see this statement on the Internet.

But Luo Ming knew another sentence, the courage of the soldiers.

A commander who can say "follow me" is ten times stronger than someone who can only yell "give it to me".

A commander who not only kicks a recruit's ass, but also takes the lead in the charge, can often lead his soldiers to overcome their fear and charge together.

As long as two or three people charge, the rest will rush forward because of the herd effect - it is easy to overwhelm an enemy with little fighting spirit, even if there are more opponents.

And when giving orders, the use of non-commissioned officers is also very large, and the army without non-commissioned officers will be as chaotic as a group fight, and no orders can be obeyed except for "all-army assault" and "retreat".

Therefore, those barbarians with a low level of civilization are often able to win the armies of civilized people—after becoming a scuffle, it is basically a matter of individual bravery.

According to the standards of melee, Luo Ming only needs to ensure that his soldiers are well fed and often see blood, and he can defeat most enemies - as for the enemies who cannot be defeated, Luo Ming will lead the charge, and most of the time he can still win.

But as a visitor to Earth, he really disdains such a bad battle.

Besides, he didn't have as much of a family as the princes, and he didn't have so many soldiers to fill in that rotten meat grinder.

He admired the Roman Empire more, the Han Empire, relying on the physique and far-reaching discipline and excellent armament of the barbarians, he could play the kind of Wansheng Wang Shi who could play the record of "one Han and five Hu".

It's a pity that there hasn't been such an army on Earth for a long time, and the most recent ones with this style are the British lobster soldiers who dare to walk up to the enemy in front of the enemy in front of several rounds of guns before shooting, and the other is the few elite troops of the Third Reich, those blond and blue-eyed Germanic "supermen".

But the number of times that I was able to play a one-to-five battle loss was also very small.

Fortunately, there is such an opportunity in front of Luo Ming now.

Looking at the thirty childish young people in front of him, although Luo Ming had pinned his dream on them, he still had a cold face and started training.

"You are the first batch of soldiers I recruited, and I will continue to recruit soldiers in the future, if you train seriously, then you will have the opportunity to be the seniors of those recruits, and the best ones will have the opportunity to become officers - you can take five or ten soldiers!

When you are a soldier, you can eat well, occasionally have meat to eat, and you have military pay; when you are an officer, you can eat better, and your military pay is higher!"

Before these recruits could be happy, Luo Ming continued to say in a stern tone: "But if any of you is lazy and doesn't train well, I'm going to drive him home and farm, and then you can wait to be laughed at!"

If you are a good soldier, you will miss the opportunity and become a farmer again, and your father and mother will beat you to death!"

There is no such thing as a good man not being a soldier in this society - the kind of strong peasant soldier is completely different from the professional soldier that Luo Ming is recruiting now.

The former is naturally able to hide and hide, while the latter, although there are risks, can eat military rations, and can also have a little military salary to subsidize the family, even if you can't be an officer, after being a big soldier for more than ten years, you have the money to buy a few acres of land.

A little merit, and the lord pleased, could turn the soldier's family and his descendants into freemen—freedmen who had to pay much less taxes than serfs.

Inspired by Luo Ming's carrot and stick method, these thirty recruits were full of enthusiasm for the time being.

Although they were full of enthusiasm, the thirty recruits stood there and still seemed rather casual.

Luo Ming immediately divided them into three teams, and then said: "One for each team, those who want to be the captain come out!"

Some people are at a loss, some are ready to move, and some have already walked out without hesitation.

With this man taking the lead, two more people immediately came out of the ranks.

"Soldier, your name!" Login asked the first man.

Although his tone was stern, there was still a slight smile on his face.

"Os!" the soldier was startled by Lockin, but immediately calmed down and replied loudly.

"Well done, Os!" Luo Ming asked the names of the remaining two again, and then said: "The three of you are now today's acting team leader, and the acting team leader will rotate several times in the future, and whoever performs the best will finally decide who will be the official team leader."

However, the three of you are the first to come out, and you are the most courageous, I am optimistic about you, don't let me down!"

The three of them excitedly said yes.

Then, Luo Ming said loudly: "Go back to your squad, let them stand in a row, straighten their bodies, raise their heads forward, and put their hands on the sides of their thighs, quick!"
