Guan Ning sighed again, and said with a sad face:

"Gonggong Yuan, you are His Majesty's person, and I won't hide it from you.

Last year, the Tartars suddenly invaded, but it really caught us off guard.

Except for us, the old guards who came out of the battalion from the capital with the prince, most of them were newly recruited recruits in the local area, although there was daily training.

But if you haven't been on the battlefield and haven't seen blood, it's always a recruit!

When I saw the Tartar army for the first time, I don't know how many people panicked, and they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, if it weren't for the support of us veterans, let alone repelling the Tartars, I am afraid that the first battle would be directly killed by the Tartars.

Later, after repeated battles, the recruits saw the blood and transformed into veterans, and then the elite, but what they paid in the process was that countless recruits died in the battle.

After the last battle, our entire escort battalion was still less than 500 people, all of them elite, but many more were wounded, all of them were seriously wounded, but countless were slightly wounded and disabled.

Now that my guards are seriously understaffed, we have sent those elites who have transformed from a bloody battle with the Tartars to guard the camp, this is to prevent those with bad intentions from seeing our reality and deliberately deterring them, but they are also helpless without manpower!

As for things like guarding the city gates, they can only be done by some disabled but no longer serious soldiers.

In this way, it is also to find a way for them to survive, after all, they no longer have the ability to continue on the battlefield. ”

After listening to Guan Ning's words, everyone was silent, they knew that it would cost a lot to let the guard battalion, which was mostly recruits, repel the Tartar designation, but they didn't expect it to be so heavy that they could only take the elite out to guard the camp gate.

How scarce is this already a soldier!

"Commander Guan, didn't your Yunzhou County collect a large number of displaced people from Guannei before?

The lack of soldiers in the army has not been filled? ”

Guan Ning sighed again, Yuan Lijie, who was listening directly, was flustered, why did this girl keep sighing!

Every time I sigh, there is no good news, what a bad luck!

"Gonggong Yuan, the training of a recruit is not so simple, if you want to train a good soldier, then you must select the right good young man when selecting the source of soldiers, so that you can train a good soldier.

Secondly, each recruit consumes the most when he enters the camp for recruit training, and at this time their physical fitness cannot keep up at all, plus this batch is selected from the homeless, and the physical foundation is already poor, and they are malnourished, just to replenish their bodies will take a good period of time, where can it come in handy so quickly.

Now they have just begun training, and they have no way to bear the pressure and situation that the escort army is facing now and the defense of Yunzhou City. ”

Saying that, Guan Ning walked out of the tent, and motioned to Yuan Lijie and others to follow, everyone hurriedly followed and went out of the tent one after another, only Gu Tingyun carefully looked at the wounded soldiers in the camp before leaving the tent, and they were indeed real wounded soldiers, and there was no camouflage, so he quickly followed the team and walked out of the tent.

Walking outside, the smell of the potion that had been lingering on the tip of my nose just now was much less, and even the wailing in the camp was not as clear as just now, and the atmosphere was not as oppressive as in the camp tent.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the military tent just now really made them breathless.

"Commander Guan, where are we going?"

Yuan Lijie asked suspiciously while following Guan Ning.

Guan Ning pointed ahead and said, "Aren't you curious about the recruits?"

Not far in front is the place where the recruits train daily, and they should be standing in a military posture at this point, so we can go and have a look. ”

Saying that, Guan Ning strode forward, and Yuan Lijie and his party hurriedly followed.

After a while, everyone saw a square not far ahead, where hundreds of thin recruits were standing.

That's right, it's standing, but it's crooked, and from time to time there are veterans who are full of fierce spirit, holding a horsewhip in their hands, and one by one the recruits who are in the wrong posture.

Even so, there are not many recruits who can do it right.

When Yuan Lijie saw this scene, he asked Guan Ning:

"Commander Guan, why is this? Why do you want the recruits to stand here stupidly one by one, and what posture requirements do they have, and if they don't meet the standards, they have to be pumped?

What is the use of this military posture? ”

Faced with Yuan Lijie's doubts, Guan Ning explained: "At first, the last general didn't understand why the prince had to let this group of recruits stand in a military posture for a few days.

But then when he went to the battlefield, the last general realized how important this military posture was! ”

Guan Ning's eyes fell into memory.

We didn't know much about the battle posture before, but when the Tartar cavalry rushed in on a large scale, we realized how important it was when the soldiers acted like a uniform soldier under the orders of the commanders at all levels.

According to the prince, this is not only the basis for some military training, but also greatly improves the willpower of the soldiers, tempers their toughness, so that no matter what the situation, as long as the officer gives an order, they can not hesitate to obey the order and make corresponding actions to fight the enemy.

In the long run, such a soldier will gradually form a muscle memory, as long as he gives an order, without waiting for him to react, his body will subconsciously obey the order.

Even if he panics on the battlefield, under the subconscious control of his body, he will respond accurately to the officer's order, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army and reduce the difficulty of command.

Our escort army, which is inferior to the Tartars in terms of hard power, is the willpower trained by standing in a military posture, even if the recruits are extremely afraid, but when the military order comes, they will still respond without hesitation, so that the Tartars can finally be driven back.

"Shhh

Even though Yuan Lijie is not a soldier and has never been a soldier, he feels shocked just by listening to it, just a military posture has such a big effect?

And Gu Tingyun behind him was a real military background, or a military attache who was transferred from the forbidden army to the Imperial City Division, and he knew that this should be true when he heard it, looking at the recruits in front of him who were becoming more and more skilled and standard under the training of veterans.

Gu Tingyun knew that this was probably the reason why the escort team was able to hold Yunzhou County, otherwise it would not be possible to explain how the vassal king's escort team, which was only composed of two thousand elite border troops and a large number of recruits, could hold the entire Yunzhou County under the attack of the Tartars, and could also drive the Tartars out!

Even if the damage is heavy, the gap in combat effectiveness between the armies is there, and the guards can't do it even if they die if they don't have any ability!

Thinking of this, Gu Tingyun's eyes were firmly focused on the movements of the veterans who were training recruits in front of him, and listened to their teachings.

He wanted to steal this training method, and go back and try to train the subordinates of the Imperial City Division.

You must know that don't look at it as just a small standing military posture, which has now involved training methods.

At present, the method of military training is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is a tradition that is not passed down from the family of every general, and it is not something that outsiders can learn.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to learn today, which is really lucky!

I don't know where this Cloud King got the method of training soldiers, but his luck is really good.

Gu Tingyun didn't believe that King Yun, who had almost no sense of existence in Bianjing before, would create such a method of military training, which must have been obtained by accident and accident.

What luck!

Gu Tingyun was both envious and emotional!
