033 Charge Sentry
With stirrups and without stirrups, the difficulty of riding a horse is not the same thing at all. Only cavalrymen armed with stirrups could easily launch a charge.
The Apache in the camp were now largely armed with iron stirrups, and all the Apache warriors were good riders, meaning they could charge their enemies on the battlefield and launch fierce attacks with the impact of their horses without fear of being thrown off.
The horse whistle didn't need to instruct them on how to charge, as they mastered the skill almost as soon as they equipped the stirrups, just like the Awakening Talent.
What really needs to be trained is how to maintain formation and cooperate with teammates during the charge.
"I will then use a whistle as an order to charge, and as soon as you hear this whistle, you will all charge forward at the same time." Ma Whistle said.
"The first training session doesn't require you to rush fast, you just need to rush smoothly and neatly - just look at the slowest person near you."
"Whoever rushes too fast, thirty push-ups, thirty frog jumps!" "It's the same as before, as your instructor, I'll do it with those who are punished." ”
Hearing that push-ups and frog jumps were to be punished, many people couldn't help but feel frightened.
In the past few days, they have learned the power of these two strange dances.
Anyone, as long as they are punished several times in a row, can basically only lie down.
Of course, there is one exception, and that is the horse whistle himself. Whoever is punished, the horse whistle accompanies him in push-ups and frog jumps, and he is the one who performs the most of these dances, but he never lies down.
This is, of course, due to the fact that the horse whistle has undergone a long period of training, as evidenced by its well-developed muscles.
But the tribe did not understand that, in the eyes of many, this was the power of a powerful shaman, full of mystery. Until they gradually acquired this power, but that was for later.
"Ready." Sentry rode to the side of the queue while taking a deep breath and putting his hand to his lips.
"Di Di-" His loud and sharp whistle sounded immediately, and the tune was the charge of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.
Needless to say, the charm of the Charge Charge was as soon as he heard this passionate whistle, and some people forgot the horse's advice, and one was excited: "Drive!" ”
Before the words fell, the number of horses rode away.
After a few seconds, they realized something, and quickly turned their horses and looked at the others who were trotting in broken steps, their faces full of embarrassment: "......"
The horse whistle didn't look at them, but stared at the formation of the others, and sometimes reminded him: "Mouse hunting, you hurry up a little." ”
"The one next to the blind shot, slow down, do you want to do push-ups!"
After a while, the formation could no longer be maintained, and it broke up into a loose long line, and the first training session was over.
"The first few people to break out of the formation came and did push-ups and frog jumps with me." Ma Sentry was not surprised by this, and immediately began to punish him step by step.
"Instructor, can you not do it, I have done it several times yesterday." Someone said with a bitter face.
"Rules are rules, and you are now soldiers with written records, and you must abide by them. If you're really too tired, I can grant you a break for a while, but the punishment can't be waived. Ma Whistle said.
It is the intuitive difference between these people and the past, and the horse whistle uses it to shape the concept of "soldiers".
"But...... What's the point? ”
"Whether it's training or punishment, it can make us stronger." I don't know how many times the horse whistle has been explained, and there are still people who can't understand the role of this training.
Seeing that the other party still didn't want to do push-ups, Ma Whistle said: "Push-ups and frog jumps scared you away?" ”
The crowd shouted together: "Cowards who don't dare to do push-ups!" ”
"Coward, I was fined ten times the day before yesterday and I haven't been like you!"
"Hahaha, you're like a!"
After all, humans are social animals, and under the fierce coaxing of a large number of the same kind, no one can resist it.
The man had to be punished with it, doing push-ups and frog jumps.
But Ma Whistle's mood was a little depressed.
He was revered as an outstanding warrior, shaman, craftsman, and war chieftain.
But when it comes to training, there will always be some unconvinced voices, and he needs to use deterrence, incitement, and provocation to deal with it.
If it weren't for the fact that he was muscular enough and always punished himself when he punished others, someone might have exploded in dissatisfaction and really fought him in a duel.
It's really to the point of a duel, and no matter what, it will bring huge losses.
It seems that his prestige is still not enough......
What is the easiest to bring prestige?
War, of course, a victorious war to be precise.
Therefore, after the training of soldiers began, the desire for war sprouted in the heart of Ma Sentinel for the first time. Although he had not been afraid of war before, and knew that war was inevitable, it was the first time that he longed for war.
He was aware of this change in his mentality, so that sometimes in the dead of night, the question could not help but come to his mind: Will I become a war maniac?
Ma Whistle is still quite worried about this future.
As a man who grew up under the red flag, although he has been on the battlefield since his rebirth, he still retains the perception of peace, or awe, in his heart.
Yes, reverence for peace......
Cavalry charge training day after day.
In addition, there is also horseback training, that is, lying down with people and horses to reduce damage and shoot at the enemy.
If you are armed with a breech rifle, you will basically not be able to shoot when you lie down. Because once the soldier is lying down, the operation of reloading the breech gun becomes difficult.
However, the horse sentry trains revolver troops and does not have this problem, so it can use the lie down tactic.
It was another charge drill, and as the charge whistle sounded, the soldiers collectively launched a charge.
"Woo-woo-"
Two hundred cavalrymen lined up in a horizontal formation, roaring and rushing forward steadily, and the warriors were extremely excited, they had never felt such a uniform force before.
The neat charge lasted three minutes, and although the number of people was only two hundred, it still produced a bit of overwhelming momentum.
This is important on the battlefield.
For the battle between the cavalry, the momentum of the huge wave is the first combat strength.
At the end of the charge, the soldiers excitedly said, "I feel like we have 10,000 of us!" ”
"Hahaha, if there's a group of Arapahoe people on the other side, we're definitely already harvesting their scalps by now!"
"That's right!"
Although it was only a training, everyone was convinced that such a cavalry team would be invincible on the battlefield.
The horse whistle was also satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, but he still felt that some things were not perfect, and he could not explain clearly, as if he was stuck in his throat.
"Woo-woo-" The warriors were still immersed in the morale of the collective charge, shouting excitedly.
Ma Whistle thought about it, and finally realized what was wrong.
