Chapter 66

"One-two, one-two-one, one-two-one"

In the early morning, when the neat password sounded on the school field, the neat footsteps, like the drum on the drum tower, were enough to wake up the city, and the scene of thousands of people walking in unison became a unique scenery in Jiangyin City.

However, there is a price to be paid for this unique landscape, first of all, everyone does not know how many beatings they have suffered, and for those officers who have just endured two days of "torture", they will also inflict their own sins on the soldiers in the shed, whipping them with bamboo sticks, so that they can master these basic military posture skills.

After mastering these military postures and queue skills, the next step is continuous training, training for twelve hours a day. After a whole day of training, those soldiers who were originally full of energy were all tired and staggering one by one, not only did the soles of their feet come out of the blisters, but the whole person was so tired that they almost lost their shape. With a gentle push of your hand, you can collapse to the ground like mud.

And the only thing that excites them is that they can eat meat every day, and even though nearly 8,000 brothers kill only ten pigs a day, they can still see a few thumb-sized pieces of meat in each person's bowl, which can be eaten in two bites in three bites. But it's meat after all! In the past ten years, in order to eliminate the resistance of the Southern Ming, it can be said that the Manchu Qing in Jiangnan has been extremely exploited, so that most of them, the last time they ate meat, it is estimated that it was when relatives and neighbors held red and white ceremonies. There are even some guys who were born with a hard life, and it is estimated that the last time they ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, they smelled meat.

Now, they open meat every day, just for the meat that they can eat every day, even if they let them die now, it is estimated that no one will blink and hesitate!

Meat is not only a way for these soldiers to be willing to serve their lives, but it is also a threat to strengthen training, and if there are more than three training errors, the whole team will be disqualified from eating meat! For most soldiers, the threat is even greater than a bamboo stick in the hands of an officer.

In addition to the original blacksmiths in the battalion making weapons, in order to speed up the speed, some blacksmiths were invited from the city to set up stoves and make weapons, and the weapons were the simplest spears, seven-foot-long spears, which were actually red tassel guns, but in order to save money, they didn't even tie red tassels, only iron spears and wooden gun barrels. Nowadays, whether it is the green battalion of the Qing army or the Ming army, most of them use this cheap weapon.

In the last few days, thousands of these improvised and inexpensive weapons have been made, so that the newly recruited soldiers will not be left without size, and nearly seven thousand soldiers have formed a huge phalanx, holding spears more than seven feet long, and when they walk there, they can no longer be described as magnificent, and even extremely powerful.

But the question is, how do the soldiers use these spears?

"Spanish pike?"

Looking at the spear in his hand, Zhu Mingzhong secretly thought to himself, he had read a lot of time-traveling novels, and it seemed that the spear array was the only choice for many time-travelers, and they were even deified to some extent.

"In a terrain like Jiangnan, where the water network is dense, how can you line up a big phalanx?"

Thinking of the paddy fields outside the city, Zhu Mingzhong's heart was secretly beating a drum.

Zhu Mingzhong didn't know how to use the spear array, he didn't know how to train the pikemen, and he didn't understand whether the power of the spear array was really as "magical" as described in the novel. But one thing is for sure, the pikemen are not the most important, the most important thing is the discipline and will to fight in modern armies.

This is the most important thing, just like when the Qing army encountered the British army in the Opium War, it was also shocked. The British not only suppressed the Qing army in musket volleys, but also outperformed the spears, waist knives and shields of the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. Even the British found that although the Qing army knew that its firepower was far inferior to their own, they would rather be beaten passively than desperately launch a close combat. Once the British army approached, most of the Qing army would be invincible.

"Bayonet ......"

Suddenly, the experience of history made Zhu Mingzhong's eyes shine!

Bayonet!

Yes, that's right, it's a bayonet!

In modern Chinese history, the so-called "Imperial Optimus", perhaps including the Huai Army, although armed with foreign guns and cannons, could easily force them back from the fear of close combat with the repeated bayonet charges of the enemy. Not to mention the Qing army, even the Ottoman Turks, even if they introduced the most advanced artillery and muskets in Europe, they were still defeated again and again under the bayonet charge of the Russians. While the European armies attacked them in dense arrays with bayonets, the Turks could only rely on temporary fortifications and other shelters to shoot irregularly. In the end, it was slaughtered by European troops.

Bayonet charge!

That's right, that's right!

Zhu Mingzhong, who had figured this out, his eyes widened suddenly, he held the seven-foot spear made of hardwood in his hand, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Why use a spear formation? Why do you want to defend, what Lao Tzu wants is a bayonet charge, a long live charge, if even a "cultist" like Turkey can't stop the bayonet charge, then how can the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army stop it? ”

How to use a bayonet?

Holding the spear in his hand, Zhu Mingzhong recalled in his mind the information he had read, and the simplest and most effective is probably the Japanese-style stabbing technique, in the forum network of later generations, the posts describing the Japanese-style stabbing technique can be described by thousands, after all, the Japanese army's bayonets have given the Chinese people extremely painful memories.

"Japanese bayonet technique can be roughly divided into several movements: thrust, stab left, stab right, stab down, anti-left stab, anti-right stab and deception stabbing ......"

Recalling the information he had read, Zhu Mingzhong held the spear in his hand and slowly adjusted his movements, holding the front of the spear in one hand and the front behind in the other, the tail of the spear hanging slightly on the side of the support leg, facing the opponent semi-obliquely, and the tip of the spear was slightly level with his eyebrows. In this way, the spear went diagonally from above to diagonally below, just protecting the neck, chest, and abdomen, and then Zhu Mingzhong took a fierce step, and the head of the spear flicked.

"Kill ......"

A deep cry burst out from Zhu Mingzhong's throat, a fairly standard stab, and it was displayed by him without warning.
