Chapter 33: Training
In fact, many military training methods in later generations are really to be said, but they may not be applicable to the current situation.
Therefore, Chen Wang's military training method is now completely based on Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Practical Record of Military Training".
Strength is first trained in military training, and all marching and fighting require strength, and hand, foot, and physical strength must all be trained, which is also the foundation of the foundation.
These recruits turned out to be farmers, and they were actually quite strong and had stamina, but most of them were much thinner because of hunger.
However, during this time, when I heard that the thieves were coming again, I sent a lot of meat and rice into the barracks, and each division got a lot.
Chen Wang did not hide his personal interests, and added all the meat and rice he should have into the daily meals of ordinary soldiers, and during this time, the soldiers of the entire division were full of oil.
In seven days, most of the recruits' faces had lost a lot of color, and their physique gradually recovered.
The second round of training is strength.
Train the queue leader to run, so that everyone can run a mile in one breath, without panting, and the queue is not seriously dispersed, so as to train full strength.
During peacetime training, they wear armor and hold ordnance to train their physical strength and hand strength.
However, there are two more important things to teach before you can practice strength.
One is the loading and firing of the bird's gun, and the other is the use and formation of the spear.
The training of the Bird Gun Soldiers was very difficult, and the transferred bird guns were only 120 in total, and all of them were distributed, and there were now 40 bird guns in each game, and there was no spare.
The bird gun has a service life, and a well-made bird gun can be used for a long time, and can even shoot hundreds of rounds.
Chen Wang looked at the bird guns carried on the shoulders of the soldiers below, and he was very skeptical that these bird guns made by the Ministry of Engineering could shoot a hundred rounds.
Although it was a batch of better bird guns that were exchanged for silver, it was still unavoidable when it was time to blow up the bore, and no one dared to guarantee that the next shot would not blow up the bore.
That is, these recruits don't know anything, so they dare to use these bird guns, and most of the veterans in the battalion are respectful of bird guns.
It has not been tested, and Chen Wang does not know the service life of these birds, so the live-fire training must not be too much.
If there are more than a dozen rounds a day, not to mention the service life of the bird, it is difficult to solve the problem of gunpowder.
There was not much gunpowder in total, and although the lead was enough, what was the use of no gunpowder.
"Hu Zhili."
Chen Wang raised the order flag in his hand, looked at Hu Zhili who was standing under the low platform, and said loudly.
"The subordinates are here!"
Hu Zhili took a step forward and half-knelt on the ground, bowing his head in response.
Although the two are cousins, after the army gathers troops, they are only divided from top to bottom, regardless of intimacy.
"You lead the bird guns in the third game to the new shooting range east of the school field, teach the use of bird guns, and shoot in three rounds."
The order flag in Chen Wang's hand was taken down by the herald on the low platform.
"Obey!"
Hu Zhili raised his hands, took the order flag from the herald who walked off the low platform, and replied loudly.
After receiving the military order, Hu Zhili did not slack off, and lit up one hundred and twenty bird soldiers with bird guns on their shoulders and left the queue with the order flag in hand.
The results of the seven-day training were not bad, and after being called out of the queue, the 120 Bird Soldiers who were at the end of the queue were quickly turned into a march, with six people in a platoon, divided into 20 platoons, and followed the shooting range east of Hu Zhiliwang.
The shooting range on the east side is a newly repaired training ground, which is said to be newly repaired, but in fact, it is only a simple shooting range with more than a dozen wooden targets tied up, and it took a lot of half an hour to build the city's simple shooting range.
Limited to the service life of the bird guns and the storage capacity of gunpowder, Chen Wang set the number of firing ammunition for the bird guns team every day to be three, and the rest of the time only practiced the movements without using gunpowder to shoot.
At this stage, there is no way to do this, and there is a huge gap between live ammunition and non-live ammunition.
But now he doesn't have much autonomy, and it's like dancing in a cage.
Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze flickered.
The identity of the general is far from enough, even the thousand generals and the Chinese army are not enough.
If you want to really exert your strength and gain a certain degree of autonomy, you must at least become a guerrilla.
Only by becoming a guerrilla can one have the authority to lead one battalion alone, and if one battalion is not led alone, one will always be constrained from all sides.
As the Bird Gun Team went away, Chen Wang also retracted his gaze and refocused his gaze on the soldiers standing in the school field.
Chen Wang did not continue to give orders, but slowly walked down the low platform and walked towards the center of the school field.
Tang Shiping followed Chen Wang and looked at the central ground, while Hu Zhiyi and Chen Gong commanded the soldiers to separate the road, and then formed a circle around the central area of the school field.
In the center of the school field, twelve veterans with wooden guns on their shoulders stood in a formation on it, and they stood in two rows in a row of six, the heads of wooden guns in their hands had no tips, only a white cloth wrapped in a ball.
There was also a straw man standing in front of them.
Chen Wang walked all the way to the front of the straw man, about six paces away, and then stopped.
At this time, Chen Gong also stepped forward and handed a standard infantry spear about one zhang and three feet long to Chen Wang's hand.
The spear was in his hand, and Chen Wang felt a slight sinking in his hand.
The wooden handle is slightly rough, and this is a new gun.
The spear, which was three feet long, was held in the hand, or held at the back end, and it was quite laborious to pick it up.
If you have never used a spear, it is undoubtedly difficult to use all the power of this spear, and it is even difficult to stab the enemy, and you don't know how to use it.
Chen Wang stood in the center of the circle, looking around at the group of soldiers gathered around.
The soldiers in the first few rows all sat down, and only the last two rows of soldiers stood in a staggered manner, forming a large hollow circle.
"Holding a spear, you must unite your waist and horse, not only with your hands, but also on your waist, legs, and body."
Chen Wang's eyes slowly became sharp, his body was slightly sideways, and the spear was facing forward.
"Look, I'll only rehearse once."
All the soldiers around them held their breath, even the twelve veterans in the field.
"Look at the tip of the gun."
"Keep your feet on the ground, kick the ground first, then rotate your waist, and push your hands forward at the same time."
Chen Wang broke down his movements step by step, and finally took a step forward, his eyes focused on the straw man in front of him.
"When you exert strength, you can shout to strengthen your momentum and improve your strength."
Chen Wang shouted, and the spear in his hand stabbed out suddenly.
"Kill!"
Before everyone could react, the spear in Chen Wang's hand had already stabbed the straw man not far in front of him.
The sharp spear pierced the straw man's chest in an instant, and the cold spear head was reflected in everyone's eyes under the sunlight.
Everyone on the school floor was terrified, and if this shot was stabbed at them, they would definitely not be able to dodge.
"When you pull out your spear, you can take a deep breath so that you can exert your strength."
"On the battlefield, the blade in your hand is the foundation of your life."
Chen Wang pulled out the spear that pierced the straw man's chest and turned around again.
"On the battlefield, there are only two things you can rely on."
Chen Wang carried a spear on his shoulder and said in a solemn voice.
"One is the blade in your own hands."
