Chapter 58: Immovable as a Mountain
On the basis of the previous training phalanx and cooperation of soldiers and horses, Wang Hongyu strengthened the spear phalanx.
In particular, the formation change and the training of dense phalanxes have been strengthened.
This is equivalent to a special upgrade for the original Ming army.
For example, the spear phalanx of the white pole soldier holding a sturdy white wooden pole with a bladed barb on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom is not a dense formation, but a small flexible queue.
You can use the phalanx against cavalry and opponent infantry to fight infantry, and you can also fight like a halberd with a bladed barb in a melee.
However, the maximum energy of the gun array has not yet been brought into play.
The veterans of the Sichuan Army and the recruits of the Zhejiang Army, because the limelight was overshadowed by the white pole soldiers before, have been training intensive phalanxes in the past two months, and they have been able to outperform the white pole soldiers in terms of the density and lethality of the spears.
The white pole soldiers also started training competitions, and the two sides learned from each other and improved step by step.
On this day, Wang Hongyu carried out a new training topic, that is, standing in a military posture.
Standing in a military posture is almost a clichΓ©, but now it has another useful purpose.
"The first row, one knee on the ground, no change!"
"Second row, spears flat! Don't move! β
"Third row, high over the top! Don't let it go! β
It's been an hour, and the spear phalanx is still standing still.
The military posture of others is to stand and not move; Wang Hongyu's is a spear phalanx military posture.
The wind and the sun are blowing, and the thunder cannot be moved.
Based on the veterans of the most elite Southern Army, the effect of the training is very fast, and the results are also very outstanding.
"Not bad~"
The eldest brother watched himself train his troops, and many of these methods were eye-opening to him.
There is no need to lift a stone lock, and you can exercise your arm strength by lifting the gun for a long time.
But there are still shortcomings!
"Third brother, you are not moving like a mountain in training, but you only have the shape of a mountain, and you have not yet the reality of a mountain."
Zhou Dunji is famous for his military training, but compared with the two, the training methods of the three places are indeed faster than his methods, but the essence of military training is that the third brother is inferior to himself.
"I know that as a military officer, and even to become a general in the future, you need to be temperamental, and even inwardly immovable. You're going to do a training session now. β
"What training?"
"Breathe."
οΌ
Are you kidding me?
Wang Hongyu has a bunch of black question marks on his face, not to mention that everyone can breathe, at least my body is very good, and I don't have to breathe when I march, what kind of breathing do I practice?
Wang Hongyu felt that he was underestimated, with the level of at least being a good hand now, how could he practice the content that could be used to improve martial arts, right?
Zhou Dunji's eyes were extremely powerful, and he looked straight and said, "Your breath exposes your thoughts. β
"What?"
"Just now, your breathing unconsciously became light and fast, indicating that you are a little contemptuous."
Zhou Dunji is very sure that Wang Hongyu can't control his breathing yet, and now it is the body's instinctive reaction.
Wang Hongyu was suddenly shocked in his heart, he did have contemptuous thoughts just now, did he show it if he didn't pay attention?
"You're a little nervous right now, your breathing is getting thin, and your body is in a state of contraction and disguise, consciously or unconsciously."
The eldest brother's eyes were like torches, directly penetrating his thoughts, and Wang Hongyu's expression gradually became serious.
This is Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the eldest brother means that the main general is actually a mountain, and the mountain cannot move, and even breathing cannot be "lightly moved".
"You know what? As a military officer or even a general, the soldiers around you are watching you, and your breathing, expressions, and all your mannerisms affect everyone's mentality. Nervousness and shortness of breath, fear and careful breath holding your breath are instincts, but they must be trained to stay still at all times! β
Immovable as a mountain!
When you fight a war, you must not move like a mountain, and when you do great things, you must also be as immobile as a mountain.
With the insight of later generations, Wang Hongyu quickly calmed down his mind, like a quiet lake.
When planning strategies before, sometimes I just entered this state, neither humble nor arrogant, and even if the situation was changing, I would not reflect the thoughts in my heart.
Today, after comprehending this truth, I will soon be able to consciously overcome the fluctuations of my breath with my emotions.
After a day, not only do you practice by yourself, but you can also find someone to practice it.
There should be 500 people under the command, and everyone needs to keep their mentality still like a mountain and let their breathing be stable and wave-free.
Make small talk with these veterans, especially if they have some strange things they have experienced in battles before.
Some things about the past wars, the whole process was calm, everyone's facial micro-expressions were free, and even the most neglected breathing could be followed by the mentality and not moved by the outside world.
Consciously control, you and the veterans can control the mentality
Until the night before falling asleep, the mind is focused on the three goals, and when I think about the situation again, my breath is still as calm as water, and I can control and show my instincts without being affected by emotions.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! β
I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of iron.
The sound of Li Tiezhu repairing the armor piece was heard.
This cousin, who is less than fifteen years old, has to follow Wang Hongyu to Liaodong, and now he is temporarily serving as Wang Hongyu's family member, and has settled down in the army.
Of course, his good skills in ironsmithing since he was a child were not wasted, and he spent some money to build a blacksmith's furnace that could be transported by horse-drawn carriages, and repaired ordnance in the army on weekdays, and from time to time made some arrows and swords, and even repaired armor and made pocket watches.
At this moment, the armor of the soldiers is being repaired in the army.
When Wang Hongyu arrived at his blacksmith furnace, he didn't make a noise, but carefully observed what he was doing.
Li Tiezhu carefully observed one by one, observed with his eyes, rubbed with his hands, and patiently found out the armor pieces that needed to be replaced one by one.
In this process, all his attention was focused on the search, and the whole person was completely integrated, even if the sound of the army announcing the time was heard, even his brows remained motionless.
Once you have found the nails, you have to recast them and sew them back together one by one. He had already done a good job of the mold of this set of fish scale armor pieces, recast them completely damaged, and added molten iron to fill the gaps with limited damage.
The summer is very hot, and the fire makes people feel even more hot, and the sweat drops gather and converge into a whole line of sweat and slide down.
His mind was not just like water, but his whole mind, his arms, and his body were fused with the hammer, armor, and even the blacksmith's furnace in his hand.
Next, the armor piece was sewn onto the fish scale armor, and it was not simply restored, but all his thoughts were put on the composition and form, this set of armor became three-dimensional in his eyes, and it could be modified and strengthened on the basis of the original form.
Thorough devotion is more able to overcome sudden changes than a calm state of mind.
If you completely integrate into the battlefield and completely enter the realm of command and thinking, you will be completely unmoved by the outside world and will be truly immovable.
