Chapter Seventy-Five: Training

After a short rest, the army began to set out again.

Since the officers of all the units were already in place, and they were basically familiar with their posts and subordinates, the march was more orderly.

In accordance with the orders of the top level of the Left Guard and the needs of actual combat, the officers of each unit organized their subordinates to intersperse and practice various formations during the march.

The formation of the Swiss army is a kind of combat platform composed of different weapons arranged and combined. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commanders will issue different orders according to different situations, and the sergeants will also change their formations in turn according to these different orders, either attacking or defending, or encircling or blocking, so as to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent with the least cost.

Using the formation in the war is the best choice for Sweden, and it is also a last resort.

Sweden is a big farming country, and there are very few places to produce horses, so horses are an absolutely scarce resource in Sweden. For most Swedish people, horses are just a tool for pulling plows and camels, not a piece of equipment for warfare.

In such a situation, compared to the nomads who grew up on horseback, most Swiss people are like babies toddlers. Even the well-trained cavalry of the Swiss Kingdom is far from the level of compatibility with the war horse. In the course of hundreds of years of development, the Swiss army has also emerged some equestrian masters who have reached the state of unity of people and horses, but such talents are only a minority after all, and they cannot be compared with the situation of nomadic equestrian masters grabbing a handful.

In the early days of the kingdom, and even before the kingdom of Sweden, the nomadic peoples of the north and northwest used the mobility of their horses and their superb riding skills to constantly cause problems for the people of the land. After years of being beaten passively due to the gap in horsemanship, the ancestors of the Swiss Kingdom finally created two things that could compete with the nomadic cavalry. Of these two things, the first is an incomparably strong city, and the second is an unpredictable formation.

Relying on the city that is crammed between the two mountains like the Giant Spirit Pass, which is extremely strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how mobile the nomadic cavalry is, it is in vain, and many times they invade and finally return home. Relying on the unpredictable formation, the Swiss army finally has the ability to confront the nomadic cavalry head-on.

In the history of the country, there are many famous generals, and these famous generals may have their own characteristics in temperament and the way of using troops, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are all proficient in the ninety-nine formation, and all of them have reached the superb realm of using the magic of one-mindedness. Under the clever command of these famous generals, the soldiers of the Rui Kingdom in the past generations used various formations to kill the Xianbei cavalry, which was known as invincible in the world, and turned over the army, changing the weak situation of the farming people against the nomads for hundreds of years, and they were very proud of it. Chen Ruoping, a contemporary famous general seconded to Ruiguo, has even applied the ninety-nine formation to a realm of miraculous skills. She often used formations to create various local advantages, and killed several times the enemy in a hard-fought head-on confrontation, and her command skills were really powerful.

Of course, using the formation to command the battle is something that senior officers and even senior generals need to worry about. As for a small flag officer like Mo Cong at the bottom, all they had to do was to lead the sergeants under them to quickly change the formation after hearing the order, and intersperse them in place in a timely and accurate manner.

In addition to the ninety-nine formation, there is also a technique of dividing and attacking with small flags as a unit in the Swiss army. This kind of splitting and combining technique is a kind of combat platform composed of several weapons, and to put it bluntly, it is a miniature version of the formation. When facing the enemy, several weapons of a small flag rise and fall one after another, which can not only maximize the lethality, but also make up for the unavoidable flaws and gaps in individual combat.

In the next few days, when he was marching, Mo Cong led his ten recruits to practice various formations with other troops, and practiced the Central Army's division and combined attack techniques piecemeal when he was resting and camping.

After cultivating for more than ten years, Mo Cong has already developed the obsessive-compulsive habit of doing everything exactly right. Training these recruits under his command, Mo Cong also fully carried forward this meticulous and serious spirit, and the requirements were strict, like two old men and ten thunder leopards. These recruits were carefully selected by Chen Ruoping from all over the country, each with their own specialties, and their martial arts foundation was also good. They had been in the leopard camp for a while before the army set off, and they had already practiced the thirteen styles of the saber, and they also had a certain foundation in equestrianism, so the practice was not as hard as when Lei Leopard first started to train Mo Cong.

Of course, he is extremely strict when he exercises, and Mo Cong is still quite amiable when he gets along. As an officer, Mo Cong never put on any shows, but always regarded himself as a country knight, and he was also very friendly and friendly to others, so the ten recruits under his command quickly became one with him.

At first, these recruits thought that they had set up a straw bag officer, and they didn't have to expect anything to make a difference, and maybe they would lose their lives as soon as they went to the battlefield, and they were very depressed. But Mo Cong took the lead as soon as he came, showing amazing strength, and then slowly getting along, Mo Cong showed the professionalism and affinity, strictness and tolerance that an excellent officer should have, so everyone became more and more recognized and trusted by Mo Cong as a commander. No matter what time it is, everyone is Mo Xiaoqi Mo Xiaoqi shouting, respectful and cordial at the same time.

As the commander of the small flag of the same squadron, Long Wu still brushes Mo Cong's horse every day, and Lei does not practice his original promise. Because the relationship between Long Wu and Mo Cong is very good, even the relationship between the two small flags is very iron. The two small flags often use their leisure time to engage in some real confrontations, and master the skills and details of the technique of dividing and attacking in the confrontation. Later, Lei Bao discovered this secret, so he reported to the whole army to praise Mo Cong and Long Wu, and promoted this method among the recruits of the whole army.

The tsundere boy Tan Xingyu was naturally very unhappy when he heard Mo Cong being praised. As the general banner, he always wanted to make Mo Cong a little ugly when he practiced the formation, and then humiliated Mo Cong in public. Who knew that Mo Cong's small flag was extremely united from top to bottom, and it was extremely powerful, and when practicing the formation, it could be quickly and accurately interspersed in place every time, and Tan Xingyu's eyes could not find the slightest fault.

Tan Xingyu racked his brains for several days and couldn't succeed, so he could only be depressed again and again, so depressed that he was about to get sick.
