"Like an instructor?!" Arcinis laughed: "In that case, can you still stay at home!" Melisanda, get up and run for me...... Melishanda, stop eating, practice against me...... Melisanda, hold the stone and circle the courtyard ten times......" Arcinis said exaggeratedly, imitating Mattonis's tone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Arcinis, do you want me to tell the instructor what you just said, and see who will run ten laps with a rock?" Melishanda feigned a threat.

Arcinis repeatedly begged for mercy, and Melisanda spared him.

Arcinis asked, "Are we really going to attack Lucania?" ”

"Are we training so hard just to defend against Amendolala?!" Melishanda said disdainfully: "This is too much of a waste of our strength!" ”

"Hey, you say-" Arcinis became excited: "If we really conquer the land of Lucaria, can I find a Lucanian woman as a wife, I have seen a lot of new citizens in the past few days Luccaria's wife is very good, tall and plump, can do heavy work, and the taste is different from our Greek women......"

"It's too early for you to think about this now!" Melishanda asked in surprise.

"I'm not like you, the house is empty, and I'......m alone," Arcinis said in a low voice.

"Then let's practice the art of killing enemies together, go together to conquer the Lucanians, and marry the Lucanian women and have a bunch of children when the time comes!" Melishanda busily encouraged him.

"Yes, let's work together!" Arcinis and Melisanda's hands were clasped tightly.

………………………………

After lunch, the recruits did not rest for long, and soon Arcinis and they were gathered again.

The afternoon session began with individual slashing techniques, but instead of one-on-one slashing, they worked in groups of three, holding a round shield in their left hand (a heavier rudimentary wooden shield that should have been made of thicker wood, but now they did not have the time to make it with human hands) and a long wooden stick in their right hand that was heavier than a bayonet gun.

Alcinis noticed that the stick in his hand was thicker, and that his teammates had been replaced by Melisanda and another young companion with two stronger teammates, and he cast a puzzled look at the instructor who was supervising from the sidelines.

Mattonis glanced at him and said sternly: "If you want to be a warrior, then you have to train harder!" ”

Arcinis now understood what the previous Archon meant, and instead of arguing, he took it silently.

At the start of training, Arcinis attacked first. He roared, held the round shield in his hand, and used all his strength to crash into the "enemy" blocking the front, "bang" sounded, the "enemy" shook his body, he immediately stabbed the round shield in the hand of another "enemy" hiding behind the "enemy" with a long wooden stick dipped in lime powder in his right hand......

Everyone takes turns to attack and block, after ten rounds of attack, rest for a while, and then carry out stride stabbing exercises, that is, holding a round shield and a long wooden stick, take a step forward to accurately hit the head of the humanoid target in front, and the person who has been stabbed the most times by the wooden shield before has doubled the amount of training.

After ten rounds of contact, he rested for a while, and the training continued, still in groups of three, but this time the long sticks were replaced by short sticks, the same length as the saber, and Arcinis's sticks were thicker, and this time he didn't doubt it again. The content of the exercise is still to smash and stab the round shield of the "enemy" in the rear, but because the length of the stick is much shorter, this requires the attacker to use more force to knock away the "enemy" in front of him and occupy his position in order to stab the "enemy" in the rear, which is also a ten-round exercise.

Then you move on to the next round of practice – hitting a humanoid wooden target. First of all, each recruit is required to use the wooden stick in his hand to hit the human target made of thick wood assigned to him, one stick at a stick, into the mud, and stand straight and steady; Then the recruits, armed with sticks and shields, stabbed the "head" and "face" of the target with all their might, sometimes attacking its ribs, sometimes stabbing its calves, and slashing at its popliteal fossa......

Under the strict requirements of the instructors, they went backwards for a while, jumped forward for a while, and did all kinds of stabbing and slashing movements......

By the time these training programs were completed, their limbs were numb and they couldn't lift any energy.

At this time, Matonis spoke: "You guys are doing better than the last time!" It seems that since the last time I went back, did I do exercises at home every day, so I was able to persevere? ”

"Yes......" the recruits replied weakly.

"Excellent! If you continue to train like this, you will soon become a qualified Amendolara heavy infantry. Mattonis smiled encouragingly, "A new training program has been added next, and you will return to your company and train in the queue with the veterans. ”

Not long after Martores finished speaking, the military horn sounded in the barracks. At the urging of Matonis, the recruits dressed up and took up their shields and spears, which felt light as if they had been training with thick sticks heavier than their spears. Alcinis remembered what Instructor Matonis had said in his first training in response to the soldiers' complaints, 'When you are trained to carry heavier sticks, and when you go to the battlefield with a much lighter real weapon, you will feel at ease, and you will be more powerful and energetic in battle...... ’

Arcinis remembered again: when he was young, he watched his father participate in the training of the city-state citizen soldiers, only once in a few months, that is, in the banner to practice marching in a queue, and then one-on-one training, the training program is simple and easy, far from the training he is carrying out now, not only difficult and complex, but also progressive little by little, just like learning words when he was a child, it seems very reasonable, the requirements are also very strict, and the amount of training is also very large, no wonder the veterans can defeat the Lucanian coalition army! I heard that these training methods are all based on the training regulations in Amendolara's new "Military Law", mainly written by Lord Davers, the archon, who is truly an amazing man!

Arcinis and Melisanda were not in the same company, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Melisanda, so he hurried to find the third company of the third brigade to which he belonged. I heard the instructor Matonis say that the company leader of this company is called Giogris, and he used to be a comrade-in-arms in a tent, and he has a mild temper.

He shouldn't be harsher than Instructor Mattonis! Why did Arcinis think so at the moment? Because after the sound of the military horn, thousands of people acted together, and the training ground was full of dust, and what could barely be seen clearly was the bright red and eye-catching military flags erected high on the playground. Finally, with the number on the flag, he found the team he belonged to.

As soon as the detachment commander Trotidis saw him, he said sternly: "Soldier, you are late!" Consider that you are the first time, and do not give punishment for the time being, and hopefully there will not be a next time! ”

Alcinis Company claimed to be, led by the detachment leader, and quickly returned to his position.

At this time, a man of about thirty years old came over and said to him kindly: "My name is Ketips, and I am the leader of your squad. ”

"Hello Captain!" Arcinis hurriedly saluted.

Ktipps looked him up and down, and then said, "Yes, a strong fellow! Are you a recruit? ”

"Yes."

"A former citizen of Amendolara?"

"Yes."

"I guess so. Which instructor trained you? ”

"Mattonis."

"What?! That madman! ”

"Does the captain know Instructor Mattonis?"

"I used to be in his company, because of my excellent performance, this time the army was reorganized, and the third brigade forcibly asked me to come over, Matonis didn't want to let me go, but who called Geogris is his friend, so I came here, and I actually met you, a student of Matonis, this is all arranged by the goddess of fate!" Ketipus looked emotional, in fact, Matonis just thought he was too nagging, and the third team came to ask for someone, so he directly recommended him out, how could there be any retention.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you!" Ktipps said earnestly.

"Thank you, Captain!" Arcinis said gratefully

"Ktipps, get ready for training, don't talk!" At this time, Trotidis shouted at the front of the detachment.

"Got it!" Ktipps replied, and then muttered in a low voice: "It's your luck to be the captain of the detachment, if I was the first to follow Master Davers, I would have become the captain of the company by now......"

When Arcinis heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart.

The soldier next to him said: "Our captain is just a nagging person. ”

I hope so. Arcinis thought.

Due to the high intensity of the previous training, the detachment training was only to let the soldiers get acquainted with each other and conduct marching and jogging training in small phalanxes. This kind of exercise was only a restorative leisure for the soldiers of the 1st Brigade, because they were too familiar with each other, but for the 3rd Brigade, it was necessary, because it was a new army, and the soldiers of the detachment were not very familiar with each other.

According to the traditional military training practice of the Greek city-state, the officers of the army are relatively fixed, while the soldiers are often replaced, and the citizens are summoned to the square during the battle, and randomly assigned to each team according to the order or by lot, which can prevent the soldiers and officers in the same team from grouping together, affecting the normal political order and democratic elections of the city-state.

Davers believes that a fixed military team is conducive to cultivating cohesion and a sense of honor, and that it is more united and cooperative in battle, and more combative. Therefore, the soldiers of Amendolara are fixed in a certain team, and the officers of the team have a certain term, which is transferred at the end of the term, so as to prevent the soldiers from becoming imminent (which has not yet been implemented).
