After the feces and urine incident, the hygiene situation in the cottage has improved a lot, and the training in the cottage is still boring and monotonous.

However, after the formation and training were good, Wang Zirui also began to strengthen the internal training of his subordinates, as well as combat training, after all, no matter how neat the queue is, it can't scare the enemy away during the battle.

Since they have chosen to fall into the grass, then what they are doing is the business of licking blood from the knife edge, and fighting and killing will be commonplace for a long time in the future, so the combat training at this time will be directly related to the failure of their actions in the future.

Li Zixiao has never seen a large-scale war in this world, and all the information about the battle formation has been seen in books or movies before.

However, he knew that in the matter of fighting a war, it was impossible to achieve a final victory by relying only on individual martial arts and individual ability, and the most important thing was to rely on team cooperation in order to exert greater strength.

Otherwise, even if the best people get together, they can only be called a rabble, and this is the story that elementary school students in the 21st century know that "a chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick keeps breaking".

However, if you let Li Zixiao conduct basic training, run, and line up with these guys under him, he can still do it, but let him teach these people to fight in battle, he is really confused.

Because including him, most of the people in the cottage are from peasant backgrounds, and they have never been soldiers at all.

However, now that he is here, the previous way of fighting by rushing and fighting will be abandoned.

However, how to train them to fight together so that this subordinate can exert their maximum combat effectiveness has become a problem in front of Li Zixiao.

After tossing and turning for a night, Li Zixiao thought about it for a long time, and finally preliminarily figured out the training method.

He had seen various types of infantry phalanxes in the ancient European cold weapon era on the Internet before, among which there was a famous classic infantry phalanx, the Macedonian phalanx, which was particularly suitable for their cottage use.

This kind of phalanx does not rely on individual bravery, and individual force has no effect at all in this kind of phalanx, relying on team ability, a spear phalanx composed of ordinary soldiers.

The Macedonian phalanx marched steadily with their spears commanded to do so, and the dense walls of spears were strong enough to stab any enemy force that tried to charge head-on, whether cavalry or infantry, into a honeycomb.

At this time, Wang Zirui's group of subordinates, except for a freak quartz, the rest of them did not know martial arts, and this simple obedience to orders, obedience to discipline, and group-style battle phalanx was just right for them.

As for the cavalry and archers, Li Zixiao didn't even dare to think about it now, since the group of people under his command could only act as infantry, it would be most suitable to choose the Macedonian phalanx.

And at this time, Li Zixiao didn't have many weapons in his hands, the only batch of weapons was the ones they grabbed from Liujiazhuang before, in addition to a large number of spears and swords and shields, there were more than a dozen sets of leather armor, and a few bows and arrows.

Li Zixiao has the most spears in his hand at this time, because this kind of weapon is the easiest to make, and the spear has the lowest value among weapons, as long as a spear head and a strong and tough barrel are made.

Therefore, from the analysis of weapons, the Macedonian phalanx at this time is also more suitable for their copycat situation.

In the end, Li Zixiao finally made up his mind, so he took the Macedonian phalanx as a blueprint, and first let the cottage subordinates practice a simple version of the Macedonian phalanx.

So in the next week, everyone in the cottage began more brutal training under the supervision of Li Zixiao.

The main weapon of the Macedonian phalanx is the spear, Li Zixiao replaced it with a spear, and the main thing is assassination during the battle, and the action is relatively simple, but if it is well coordinated, it is very lethal.

As long as the spear stabs the enemy's body, according to the medical level of this era, if you are lucky enough to stab the vital part, it can often have a fatal effect, even if the piercing is not a vital part, it can also make the enemy lose combat effectiveness instantly.

Moreover, pikemen are also easier to train, they do not need to practice complicated moves, they only need to practice a good move to stab, and with strict discipline during battle, they can exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It takes a very short time to train pikemen, and he can make his subordinates form combat effectiveness in a short time, which is one of the reasons why Li Zixiao is interested.

However, pikemen also have an Achilles' heel, that is, pikemen are not good for melee combat, once the enemy is close to you, unless you have extremely skilled martial arts, otherwise, pikemen will basically lose their ability to resist and become the target of slaughter by enemies armed with short weapons.

Therefore, it is necessary to train a part of the sword and shield soldiers who are competent in hand-to-hand combat to protect the pikemen, and the sword and shield soldiers are better to cooperate with the sword and shield, which can be defended and attacked, and it is relatively convenient to cooperate with the pikemen.

However, the selection of sword and shield men is much stricter than that of pikemen, first of all, they must have the courage to engage the enemy in close combat, fight in close quarters, be bold, move flexibly, and have good sword skills.

For these few requirements, Li Zixiao has a big head, and he suspects that there are not many of these people who can find a few in their cottage.

Among them, quartz is fully qualified for this sword and shield soldier, but Li Zixiao has other uses for him, and the rest is that Zhou Dazhu and Wei Hong have martial arts foundations.

In the end, Li Zixiao temporarily felt that he would divide his subordinates in the cottage into two teams, a pikeman and a small sword and shield soldier, the pikemen were responsible for attacking, and the sword and shield soldiers were responsible for protecting the pikemen and hand-to-hand combat.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao selected nine people, including Zhou Dazhu, among the subordinates of the cottage, and equipped them with the sword and shield captured from Liujiazhuang, temporarily serving as the sword and shield soldiers in the team.

These four people are all bolder, the strongest physique, relatively fierce, all of whom have seen blood, and dare to rush forward to fight with others.

The remaining nearly fifty people all served as pikemen, and the battle was divided into three teams, two pairs of fifteen people in front, all equipped with the spears they had snatched from Liujiazhuang, and the pikemen were mainly in charge of Wei Hong.

The last pair of pikemen was a reserve, and there were no more spears to equip them, so Li Zixiao asked people to cut a few bamboos in a bamboo forest in Mangdang Mountain, sharpen their heads, and use them temporarily.

The spear is simple to use, and the cost is low, and at the same time, the pikemen are easier to train, and Li Zixiao doesn't let them practice any tricks.

Just let them line up tightly in a row, and only practice one movement, that is, according to his command, and stab forward in a uniform manner, and this action can be said to be simple, and it can't be simpler.

There is only one requirement for them, that is, after hearing Li Zixiao's command, they can use their strength to eat, step forward, and stab forward with the help of their arms with the help of their waists.

With the spearmen's direct stabbing action, there is also a side by side step in unison, each step must follow the password issued by Li Zixiao, so that the pace is the same, and the order is forbidden.

Otherwise, once the pikemen move, they will easily lose their formation, and the team will become scattered, making it easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.

In this way, the training of pikemen is actually not easy, in addition to stabbing with all their strength during battle, they must also keep a neat queue during the operation.

And in the process of marching, complete the action of lowering the shoulder and flattening the gun, and at the same time not mess up the pace, such a seemingly simple to the extreme, when it is actually trained, it is not very simple.

After several days of intense and uninterrupted training, the pikemen marched in formation and assassinated a little bit of a look.

And two days after the assassination drill began, Li Zixiao asked them to shout together when they heard the password to collectively strive to assassinate: "Kill!" ”

In addition to using this to make a strong statement, it also allows the pikeman to use his power to the limit, increasing the power of assassination.

At the same time, it is required that these people with guns must also maintain the same movements when assassinating, so as to maximize the power of collective assassination.

And it's not easy to do that, it's not easy to just ask them to do it at the same time.

In the process of training, they often can't shoot consistently, and they can't stab at the same time, so it is easy for opponents to find loopholes to drill and take the opportunity to get close to them.

Therefore, just when these pikemen were trained, how to obey his orders and stab at the same time took Li Zixiao a lot of effort.

Later, under Li Zixiao's reward and punishment reward system, after training thousands of times a day, or even more than 2,000 repeated stabbing actions for several days, this made these guys start to have a little bit of power when they completed the stab, and they were a little steady and ruthless.

The main reason why his subordinates have been able to make such great progress in a short period of time is that Li Zixiao has a training reward and punishment system, and he knows that if he wants his subordinates to do a good job, it is not enough to just beat and scold.

To deal with these people, you have to carrots and sticks, engage in differential treatment, train hard and make rapid progress, give them extra meals, have meat to eat every day, and those who are lazy and slippery in training will be punished to clean the latrine every day.

At the same time, Li Zixiao also set an example himself, while training them, he also trained with them, not only that, but when he trained, he even had twice the training volume of his subordinates.

Seeing that their bosses are training so hard, they dare to be lazy!

After some training, Li Zixiao gradually realized the advantages of this stabbing tactic, and for other weapons, the spear is indeed convenient to use.

In particular, he only practiced this trick of direct stabbing back and forth, and after some training, Li Zixiao found that the spear took the shortest route when assassinating.

In this way, it takes less time to hit the opponent than other weapons, and it is often possible to stab the opponent's weapon before it touches itself.
