Chapter 13: Training
After a night's rest, early the next morning, Ghost Li gathered everyone to train again.
This time, the crowd came much faster, but they were still very scattered, and they stopped there sparsely, and at first glance they were stragglers.
Fortunately, they don't need to be able to fight much when they really go into battle, as long as they are a little stronger than the bandits on the opposite side, and they can fight with the wind.
Li Ghost picked out some sturdy men and stayed them to practice, while the remaining frail and disabled people were turned into auxiliaries, specializing in logistics, chores and the like.
"There are nearly 100 iron spear heads here, Li Laoqi, you take some people to choose some straight tree trunks, cut off the branches, peel them to dry, brush them with tung oil, and load the iron spear heads."
"This ...... Brother, where is tung oil in our village? That's a big thing! ”
Li Ghost only saved it, and made a habitual mistake, in this era, many things are rare, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to get it.
“…… Anyway, then go to the step of brushing the oil, and after drying, just load the iron gun head. ”
After Li Laoqi left with the auxiliaries, Li Ghost took out the paper armor, kept a pair for himself, and then put the rest in front of everyone, saying:
"There are ten pairs of paper armor here, if you want it, just stand up."
This paper armor is not made of paper, but it is a lot of thick paper layer by layer pressed nail, very thick, pick up the defensive power, not inferior to the iron armor too much, if it is wet in the rain, it is difficult to hurt the sword.
It's just that this paper armor has never been durable, if it is not stored well, accidentally stained with water, even if it is not used, it will basically rot and be scrapped after a few years.
But for this group of mountain bandits, this thing is a life-saving barrier, with armor on their bodies, when they rush to kill, unless they are very unlucky, most of them have no worries about their lives.
A group of people rushed forward in a chaotic manner, but they heard Ghost Li continue:
"A certain family is the fairest, never favoritism!"
"Compete to win the armor, and the brave and strong will win!"
As soon as they heard that there was going to be a competition, half of the group of people who came up immediately retreated.
"Those who are dressed in armor need to be a personal soldier of a certain person, and they will be killed in front of a certain rush, and those who retreat will be killed!"
After hearing this, the remaining half of the people were reduced by half.
Ghost Li looked at the few dozen people who stayed in the scene at the end, and knew that this was the "real bandit" in the cottage.
Although they have been asked to surrender before, these are the only ones who really regard themselves as bandits and do not taboo killing.
The rest of them are basically messing around in the mountains, following to get some if they have benefits, running away when they encounter danger, wanting to drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in large chunks, and live a happy life, but they are not willing to take risks.
These people are a lot smarter, but they have neither ambition nor courage, and they don't even have the same vision.
"Very good, you fight in pairs, the winner rests for a quarter of an hour, and then fights in pairs, and the ten people who win in the end will be a certain personal soldier, and the champion will be the captain of the personal soldier."
A group of people moved their legs and feet, and then they hit one place.
Li Ghost glanced at it a few times on the side, but it was all unsightly, none of them had practiced, and they basically relied on brute force to fight.
After only fighting for a while, the winner was decided.
The winner triumphantly took the paper armor from Ghost Li's hand and put it on his body, and the loser was full of swear words and curses, and his eyes were red with jealousy.
"The victory and defeat have been divided, from today on, ten of you are a certain personal soldier, and if a certain family eats a mouthful of meat, you will be indispensable to drink a mouthful of soup."
"As for you generals of the defeated army, your courage is commendable, you can lead four people each, be a captain, and annex other cottages in the future, and you will be the general of the team."
According to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, five people were a team, and the commander was the commander; Five soldiers are one (25 people), and the commander is a charge; The second bet is a team (50 people), and the commander is the team general; The two teams are a department/capital (100 people), and the commander is the general/capital head; The five divisions are a battalion (500 people), and the commander is the chief and deputy general; The five battalions are an army (2,500 people), and the commander is the chief and deputy commanders, and the chief and deputy commanders; The Tenth Army is a box (25,000 people), and the commander is the commander of the box; The two compartments are a large army (50,000 people), and the commander is the commander of the military capital, the military capital is waiting, and the capital is under control.
As a member of the former leek, Li Ghost is also very good at painting flatbread, and he immediately made these reckless men smile.
Li Gui called the champion over again and asked, "What is your surname, and why did you fall into the grass?" ”
The man replied respectfully: "Back to the master of the village, the villain Huang Shilang, who was originally a farmer in Quanzhuang Township, was selected by the government as a laborer because he offended the Huang officials in the township, and he was unwilling to go to endure hardships, so he went into exile. ”
Li Ghost nodded, "Since you win the championship, these nine people will be handed over to you to lead, and you will also be given a chair in the cottage, from now on, you will be the master of the second village, and the others will be postponed." ”
Li Laoqi's goods, he can't use force, and he has no courage to be a man, so he really can't suppress others.
Huang Shilang was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down, thanking him a thousand times.
Ghost Li waved his hand, and first let these soldiers select their own people, and only after everyone was alive did they start to speak.
"In the future, there should be an order in the cottage, and when you hear the drums, you will collect the troops, and you need to order to prohibit it, otherwise you won't have dinner!"
"All the pikemen who participated in the training should have meat at every meal, and the ten people with the worst performance can only eat vegetarians!"
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and if he wants the horses to run, he must let the horses eat well.
Li Ghost plundered twice, and got a lot of goods, enough for the cottage to last for a few months, and when the soldiers and horses are trained, there will naturally be no shortage of silver taels.
"Thorn!"
"Close!"
Ghost Li sat in the square, watching more than a hundred pikemen there, stabbing and retracting with the order.
The barrel of the spear has been ready, and at most it is almost drying, and it is just right to use it for training.
Li Gui deliberately chose more pikemen to train here, fighting the idea that someone died as a substitute.
It's not that no one has complained about this kind of practice, but those people are already cold now, and the rest of them don't want to be buried in the ground with them, so they have to practice here honestly.
Although it is tempting to eat meat at every meal, they are all thieves, who is not a lazy eater?
Ghost Li's harsh training method has also been dissatisfied by many people, they dare not resist openly, but they will vote with their feet, that night, there are several bandits who take advantage of the night to sneak down the mountain.
This kind of goods is originally what Li Ghost doesn't need, and he will leave when he leaves, but if they flee to other cottages, they are afraid that the news will leak out, so that the cottages will be on guard, which is not beautiful.
Ghost Li caught a few thieves who were guarding the door that night, cut them down in public in the name of dereliction of duty, and rearranged the people who kept watch at night, so as to stop this trend.
Killing people is lucky, including his own people, so Ghost Li is personally punished every time, so that his name as a heavenly killing star will go deeper into the hearts of the bandits.
Anyway, in the eyes of Ghost Li, this batch of goods is counted as one, there are no good things, and it is absolutely unreliable to rely on them to fight the world, and this batch of people has to be slowly replaced and replaced by honest and obedient good families.
There are not many others in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are many farmers who can't survive, and they don't have to worry about having no soldiers.
In the past few days, Li Ghost practiced walking in unison in the morning, advanced with the sound of drums, retreated when he heard the sound of gongs, practiced synchronous stabbing and collecting guns in the afternoon, and when he had time, he taught the three-legged cat kung fu he knew to the four pro-soldiers.
Li Ghost himself is also at the level of military training of a college student, and he doesn't know how to train soldiers, so he has to emphasize discipline, so that they can not collapse immediately when they encounter the enemy.
Although he is a military layman, he also knows that above the battle array, whoever can hold on to the end will be the winner!
The Han people were able to defeat the steppe peoples because of discipline.
In the face of the military array, personal bravery is certainly useful for boosting morale, but when it comes to real fighting, it does not play a decisive role.
No matter how strong a general is, he is not beaten with iron, he is injured by a knife, and he dies if he bleeds too much!
Unless...... You can drive a Musou!
Under the threat of a steel knife hanging over their heads, these people have made rapid progress, and in a few days, they have already practiced like a model, and they can already keep their formation not too chaotic in the process of running forward, so they don't know how useful they can really be on the battlefield.
The training time is too short, but it can only be used improvised.
