Chapter 427: Routine Drills

Not to mention, the first seven are the best of the young knights in Pingzhong County, who proved themselves with their strength in the last county competition, and their names were among the top ten masters in the pre-game comments.

"Tut-tut, it's four years in a blink of an eye, as if this is the scene of the county competition, the top ten masters of Pingzhong County are all here except for Xue Yan, Yan Yi and Shanyou, and almost all the elites of the county are gathered here. Ding Kui was full of joy.

Among the new subordinates, there are not only the elites of the last knight competition, but also a few older seniors, all of whom are knights carefully cultivated by the knight guilds of various cities, and there are as many as fifteen people whose strength has reached the shield breaking knights, and the rest are all blade knights.

The 100 cavalry of the first squadron are all composed of knights, including 17 shield breaker knights and 83 blade knights, and the individual combat effectiveness can be comparable to the main elite of various countries. In terms of squadron to squadron alone, this unit led by Ding Kui is worthy of any opponent.

"What are the top ten masters, they are all defeated in front of Captain Ding, you can't use this kind of words to tease us. Ji Xing smiled heartily.

"When the Zuo Battalion Officer summoned our group, I was still wondering who was going to be our leader? Could it be a veteran who was wounded on the battlefield? When I saw this, I understood that it turned out to be the pride of our Pingzhong County, the tenth captain of the national competition. Peng Zhu looked quite excited.

"Hehe, I've heard my father say it a long time ago, but he kept telling me not to reveal it in advance. "Yan Wei's father only met Ding Kui yesterday, so he naturally knows more about the inside story.

"I said a long time ago that we might be assigned a legion in the future, hahaha, I didn't expect to run a squadron, and it is difficult to follow the prince of the protector without making contributions. The people here are Xu Yan's most calm, but he can't hide his excitement.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect to be in the regular army, but this addition gave me a surprise, and it was my honor to fight side by side with you. "Yin Hua is the weakest of these people, and he has just been promoted to the Shield Breaking Knight for a few days.

"Little man, ah no, squadron leader, you have to take care of my food. "The big black man has learned a lot of rules, and he can barely remember them.

"It's a pity that Miss Xue didn't come, I found that our squadron is full of men. "Kanehiko's observation point is different from everyone else's.

"Now that everyone is here, we will have time to talk in the future, and now the Shield Breaker Knights will come to the big tent with me, and the others will sort out their equipment first. Ding Kui saw that the first squadron was fully staffed, and he wanted to start arranging the organizational structure.

Not counting Ding Kui's opponents in the same county competition, there are three mid-stage shield breakers among the recruits, namely twenty-eight-year-old Gao Huai, twenty-six-year-old Yin Fu and exactly twenty-five-year-old Mi Kan.

Considering the comprehensive strength, Ding Kui appointed Ji Xing as the captain of the third squad, Xu Yan as the captain of the fourth squad, Gao Xinghuai as the captain of the fifth squad, Yin Fu as the captain of the sixth squad, Mi Kan as the captain of the seventh squad, Peng Zhi as the captain of the eighth squad, Yan Wei as the captain of the ninth squad, and Jin Yan as the captain of the tenth squad.

Yin Hua and Ba Xi were incorporated into Ding Kui's first squad. Like Ba Xi, his strength is not weak, but he seriously lacks command and leadership skills, so he cannot decide the leader of the squad based on strength alone.

After all the squad leaders were decided, Ding Kui divided the other recruits into each squad according to the principle of proximity to the place of origin. At this point, the 1st Squadron under the 1st Brigade of the 201st Division of the 21st Army Corps was formally formed.

Yan Wei went to Liangchong's staff officer, the rear battalion officer, and applied for the first squadron to go out of the camp for training in the afternoon, and the ninth squadron temporarily stayed in the camp for vigilance. "Ding Kui wants to organize his subordinates to conduct riding drills.

The cavalry training needs a large place, and it is impossible to carry out horseback riding training in his own camp, and Ding Kui needs the permission of the battalion officer to pull the team out of the camp, and it is against military regulations to leave the camp without authorization.

Yan Wei's father is from the County Knights' Guild, and he is more familiar with the generals in the camp, so he will have no problem finding people and communicating with them.

"Obey!" Yan Wei took the order and left.

"The other squads went back to prepare their horses and equipment, and they had to shoot their guns at least once during the afternoon riding drills. Ding Kui set a training goal.

Each squad in the first squadron has a shield breaker knight, and they can shoot spears, but what Ding Kui asked for was the spears superimposed by the ten-person squad riding formation, which was much more powerful than one person's.

The cavalry relies on the impact to penetrate the enemy formation, the greater the power of the gun, the stronger the impact force, Ding Kui's first thing to practice is the necessary impact force of the cavalry.

Liang Chong wrote an instruction with a brush, handed it to Yan Wei along with a token, and said, "Squadron Leader Ding can go out of the camp to practice at any time with this order, and in the future, the matter of your drill will be decided by Squadron Leader Ding himself, but come to me again to apply." ”

The sooner the troops are formed, the sooner they will form combat effectiveness, and since the 201st Division has let Ding Kui's squadron become an army first, it will naturally give him the green light to his training plan, and any general will want to have a few more trump cards in his hand.

The time was close to July, and most of the fields near Pingzhong County had already been harvested, so Ding Kui did not worry about finding a place to practice.

He himself also has to lead a team to practice riding formation, Lao Wangjue, Ma Duping, Lei De and Lei Zhang are classmates and teammates in Black Earth City, and he knows all the habits and characteristics, while Ba Xi, Yin Hua and the other three are not very familiar with him, and it takes time to run in.

Ba Xi and Yin Hua were both early shield-breaking knights, and their riding skills were better than everyone else except Ding Kui, and after two simple exercises, only the last three to join did not meet the requirement of the same frequency.

"Teng Song, Wei Limu and Fang Zhi, the three of you come to the third row, followed by Ba Xi and Yin Hua, Lao Wangjue, Ma Duping, Lei De and Lei Zhang, the four of you are in the last row.

Okay, that's it, Teng Song's movements are half a beat faster, Wei Limu is a beat slower, and Fang Zhi just keeps the frequency just now. Here, let's rush two more full speed round trips. Ding Kui paid attention to each player with mental strength in the drill, and quickly grasped what was wrong and who was wrong.

On the fifth full-speed charge, Ding Kui finally succeeded in firing a shot when his speed increased to the highest level. The half-moon-shaped spear with a radius of nearly five meters emitted a dazzling red light, and the nearby drill teams all stopped to watch.

"It's done, it's done, we've succeeded!" Wei Limu, the weakest member of the team, shouted excitedly.

"Everyone, give me more energy, don't let the squadron leader throw us too far. Ji Xing raised his arms and shouted.

Since losing to Ding Kui in the last county final, Ji Xing felt that the gap between his strength and Ding Kui was getting wider and wider. Originally, he was a small rank ahead of Ding Kui, but now he is a small rank behind Ding Kui, which makes him full of frustration.

The first time he practiced Ding Kui, he could quickly lead the team to shoot such a powerful gun, Ji Xing realistically extinguished the idea of catching up with Ding Kui, but he still didn't want to be too far apart by Ding Kui.

"Perverted! Come on, no one is allowed to eat or sleep if they don't succeed today!" Peng Zhi is a ruthless person, he can do it, and this is related to his cultivation of "100 people beheading".

"According to what I felt just now, we still have a lot of time, and we can always succeed if we adjust slowly!" Xu Yan said calmly to his subordinates. His team is full of Spring Lake City villagers, and he is confident that he can quickly adjust the frequency of the riding formation.

After the other teams learned of Ding Kui's success, they greatly accelerated the speed of the exercise, and seemed to be holding their breath to complete the coordination of the cavalry as soon as possible, and successfully launched the first gun.

To Ding Kui's surprise, the fifth team led by Xinghuai was the second team to complete the task, and Xu Yan's fourth team followed closely behind to become the third team to complete the task.

Ding Kui led the first team to practice more than ten times, steadily shooting a gun with a radius of five meters, and then stopped the drill in order to save horsepower. After all, this is the first training of men and horses, and the cavalry and their own horses have not yet developed a relationship, so it is not suitable to practice too ruthlessly.

Watching one team after another complete the training tasks, Ding Kui began to plan new tasks. Whether he and his 100 men can survive on the battlefield is his priority.

Powerful impact is not only used in the attack, but can also be used in retreat.

Any ally likes to follow the forces that have a strong impact, because you are sure to be at the front, and the more visible the impact you show, the more allies will follow you, and the less dangerous it is to be left alone.

Not to mention retreating, especially when surrounded by enemy troops, whoever is most likely to break through a gap will have the most friendly troops behind them, that is the hope of survival, and anyone will make the most correct choice.

No one will run with the archers, they need to be protected by others, and this characteristic determines that they can only fight with the wind and not against the wind.

It's not impossible to run with the infantry, but they are too slow to be easily intercepted or caught up by the enemy.

It is the most cost-effective to run with the cavalry, they don't need you to attack for them, at most they will leave you behind when they retreat, and the chance of survival is higher than the first two troops.

The camp needs to be stable, the march and combat need to be changeable, and the person who leads the army is playing psychology, and whoever wants to be caught first will fall into passivity one step earlier. Well, tomorrow's drill will change the formation between the marches of the whole squadron, so that the ten squads can advance and retreat in an orderly manner as flexible as ten fingers, then they will definitely be able to take the lead in the encounter.

Ding Kui silently looked at his subordinates who were still practicing in the field, and had already calculated the training plan for the next day.

"Liangchong, how is the situation in the first squadron?" Zhang Jie glanced up at the good staff officer who sent the copy.

"Today, the formation of the first squadron has been completed, and Squadron Leader Ding is leading the team to practice on the outskirts of the city. "Good rush is truthful.

"He is worthy of being a child of the Ding family, his personal strength, vision and ability to govern the army are all a temporary choice, and he has lived up to my expectations of him. Zhang Jie's face showed a trace of indescribable emotion.
