【Chapter 122】Wolf pack tactics in cavalry combat
The training of the white-clothed army is indeed very hard, in addition to the usual queue training, mounted archery training, and a lot of basic quality training. The main content is running, push-ups, pull-ups and so on. There is no skill in these trainings, just repeat, repeat, repeat, and repeat, and repeat, until you vomit.
Xu Xingxia, who came from later generations, knows very well where the limits of the human body are. He wants to bring out every ounce of potential of every soldier in the white-clothed army. If you want to be lazy, if you want to mess around, if you want to get by, there is absolutely no market in the white army. The high-intensity training is enough to make you fall asleep while standing. For all kinds of instructions, there is no need to go through the brain at all, and the body can reflexively execute them.
In order to ensure the needs of training, the food in the canteen is definitely a large amount, and there are often additional meals to replenish the consumed physical strength. For the soldiers of the white-clothed army, this cruel training can be described as painful and happy. It was painful to train, and I could faint at any time in such pain. I am very happy when I eat, and I can faint at any time if I am happy.
The only doctor in Weizhen Fort was also hired by the White Clothes Army to treat the wounded soldiers. His clinic is right at the door of the barracks. With just one greeting, you can enter the barracks to deal with the wounded. With Xu Xingxia's financial support, the medicinal materials prepared by the doctor are also relatively sufficient, and general bruises can be treated in time without falling into the root of the disease.
Under such high-intensity training, the cavalry and archery skills of the white-clothed army may not have improved qualitatively, but in other aspects, it has been greatly improved. The fighters' physical fitness, discipline concept, and teamwork have all made great progress. Especially in terms of group fighting, Xu Xingxia consciously strengthened his practice, and the current white-clothed army, the ability to beat in groups is still relatively strong. Even if you encounter a strong opponent, you can win in a group fight.
Last time, in Niujiaodun, Zhao Erlong alone pressed the white-clothed army to the point that he couldn't move, which made Xu Xingxia feel very angry all the time. At that time, if the white-clothed army swarmed up and adopted the method of group beating, it might not be Zhao Erlong's opponent. Even if he wants to kill and kill a few people, he will definitely be able to cripple Zhao Erlong. As long as Zhao Erlong is disabled, the remaining family members are not the opponents of the white-clothed army at all. However, they did not do it.
Fortunately, he came back early and killed Zhao Erlong, otherwise, the reputation of the white-clothed army would have been completely ruined. After that lesson, Xu Xingxia carried out conscious special training on the blood surname of the white-clothed army and the ability to beat in groups. The current white-clothed sergeant, if he encounters Zhao Erlong again, he will definitely not have stage fright.
"This sealed room is the gladiatorial arena. Everyone can challenge others. Everyone will also be challenged by others. You can form squads and fight together. You can also be a lone ranger single-handedly. The only purpose is to survive. Whoever can persevere to the end will be rewarded with five taels of silver. ”
In order to test the white-clothed army's group fighting skills, Xu Xingxia also found a large house and conducted a special test. A hundred soldiers of the white-clothed army were all put into this house. In this semi-enclosed space, everyone has to find a way to survive. You can attack anyone, and anyone can attack you. If you are hit by someone else, or if you are plotting, you must withdraw from the game. The basis for judging is the white lime on everyone's hands.
The specific process is that every white-clothed sergeant who enters the house wears a black single coat. Everyone should try to avoid being hit by a single garment as much as possible. If there are obvious lime marks on the single clothes, Xu Xingxia will judge whether you are injured or killed according to the depth of the lime marks and the part where the white lime marks are located. If it is a minor injury, you can continue to fight. If you are seriously injured or killed, I'm sorry, you have to quit the battle.
Obviously, when the battle first began, it was very chaotic, and almost in a moment, more than half of the people were forced to withdraw from the game. It doesn't matter, though, it's a knockout anyway. The rest are the elite. When there were less than ten people left in the house, it was considered to be in a white-hot state. Because, those who can survive until now are basically masters. In addition to being masters, they also have a little bit of luck to help.
"Stupid! You have to join forces and take out the strongest guy! Otherwise, he will get rid of you one by one! ”
"Stupid! How can you trust your enemies? ”
"Stupid! Why are you so slow to react? ”
…… Xu Xingxia stood next to him, constantly shouting and pointing out the mistakes of everyone in the audience.
In fact, Xu Xingxia himself has no experience in group fighting. In his previous life, he came as a good boy and never had the experience of opening a film on the street. However, he has read many similar books and watched some videos of group fights, and knows how to deal with the enemy most effectively and save himself in group fights.
Over time, people were eliminated until finally only a few remained. The fight between these people is the most lively. At this point, force is no longer the whole factor, and everyone's ingenuity, as well as reactions, are vividly displayed. Will it sweep single-handedly, or will it be vertical and horizontal, and unite with others to take out a few opponents first? It's a test of everyone's wisdom.
The one who can make it to the last one to leave the house is definitely the best of the best. His martial arts, as well as his wisdom, were all valued by Xu Xingxia. He can get a reward of five taels of silver, which is definitely worth the money. They are the role models of the White Army, and they are the models for the other soldiers of the White Army to learn from. The only thing they need to look forward to is to kill a few Tartars with their own hands and put on the enviable white cloak when they arrive.
This kind of practice is basically done once every night. The so-called practice makes perfect, slowly, the cooperation between the team members has been quite tacit. The one who can survive to the end is definitely not fighting alone, but a small group. Only by relying on the strength of the group can he have the last laugh. Under the repeated influence of this training, although the white-clothed army still does not have the ability to fight with the Tartars in the field, they have won a lot compared with ordinary armed soldiers and soldiers.
In Xu Xingxia's subconscious, he always felt that the enemy from behind was more difficult to deal with than the enemy from the front. However, the reality of the situation, it seems somewhat ironic. From the enemy from behind, what is most lacking is strong force. And the enemy from the front, the force value is very high, but in other respects, it is very average.
"My lord, is it okay to do this?" Yu Lijun asked a little worriedly. He saw the soldiers of the white-clothed army, scuffling with each other, sometimes they were quite fierce, and sometimes they even had nosebleeds. He had always felt a little frightened, for fear that something would happen. Don't go up and kill the Tartars before you get a chance to kill them.
"Afraid of what? And there are no weapons. Xu Xingxia said disappreciatively. He also saw that someone's nosebleed was beaten, but he was indifferent. If you can't even accept such an injury, why do you want to go into battle and kill the Tartars? Instead, let the soldiers of the white-clothed army feel some of the smell of bloodshed now, maybe they will have more insights.
What is the name of a rather famous tactical term in later generations? That's right, it's called wolf pack tactics. Like a lot of military enthusiasts, Xu Xingxia also admires wolf pack tactics. It's not just submarines that can apply wolf pack tactics, but also the era of cold weapons. Even, in the era of cold weapons, wolf pack tactics should be promoted in large quantities. Especially in cavalry combat, the role of wolf pack tactics is simply too great.
In fact, the Tatar cavalry used primitive wolf pack tactics against the Ming army. They gather and disperse, and they meet at different times, as if they were a pack of wild wolves active in the field. If a large force of the Ming army is dispatched, they will disperse, so that the Ming army does not know which one to chase. If the Ming army was not large in number, they would surround it in all directions and eat the Ming army.
For advanced tactics, of course, the white-clothed army must devote themselves to studying. Advanced tactics, strict discipline, and strict combination are the specialties of the army of the Central Plains Dynasty. If you want to defeat the Tatar cavalry, you must first understand the main points of wolf pack tactics. Only on the premise of mastering the wolf pack tactics yourself can you effectively crack the wolf pack tactics of the Tartars.
Of course, as the fight heats up, the necessary protection is still needed. Since Xu Xingxia became a hundred households, Lao Dong, the only doctor in Weizhenbao, has been happily guarding the door of the barracks all day long, waiting for the summons at any time. With a high income and a good life, he is naturally in a happy mood. The treatment of bruises and injuries happens to be Lao Dong's specialty, and Xu Xingxia is ready to turn Lao Dong into a regular establishment of the white-clothed army. Lao Dong is also a military household, and he must also carry out Xu Xingxia's orders.
On this day, it was another brutal fight, and the last one to leave the house was Chi Hu. This time, Chi Hu's victory was not small, he received a punch from his opponent in the nose, and nosebleeds were all knocked out. However, he was slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and he wittily wit with his opponent, and in the end, he found the right opportunity and punched his opponent in the chest. Xu Xingxia immediately decided that Chi Hu won. Chi Hu immediately wiped the nosebleed and happily accepted everyone's congratulations.
"My lord, does this really work?" Yu Lijun was still skeptical.
"It really works. If they had already practiced, the last time they confronted Zhao Erlong, they didn't need to wait for us to come back, they would have been able to kill Zhao Erlong as they swarmed up. These guys just owe a beating. Xu Xingxia said eagerly.
"Oh, I see." Yu Lijun finally understood. Feelings, the Lord of the Hundred Households, are still haunted by what happened last time. Hey, that's a little too stingy. I said my lord, Zhao Erlong was beaten to scum by you, Wang Shoulu was also dead, Chen Hai was so frightened that his courage was broken, what are you not satisfied with?
Xu Xingxia beckoned, motioned for Yu Lijun to walk to the side, and said in a low voice: "Lao Yu, seriously, I didn't expect that you would come back to Weizhen Fort." ”
Yu Lijun frowned and said, "What are these words?" ”
Xu Xingxia said sincerely: "If the Tartars go south in a big way, we will bear the brunt of Weizhen Fort." Our homes are all in Weizhen Fort to protect our families and defend the country...... Forget it, let's talk about protecting the family alone, it's our duty, and we can't leave easily. But you're different, your home is in Pingyu City, there's no need to come back to this troubled water! ”
Yu Lijun shook his head and said, "Xu Xingxia, do you think that I, Yu Lijun, am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”
Xu Xingxia shook his head and said sincerely: "Lao Yu, of course I didn't mean that. I mean, I misread you before, and I'm going to apologize to you now. ”
Yu Lijun also said seriously: "I was wrong about you before. You live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”
Xu Xingxia laughed, in a happy mood.
Yu Lijun also rarely smiled slightly, which was a response.
…… Late at night, Xu Xingxia walked into Wang Qinian's grocery store.
Wang Qinian was lying on the counter and dozing listlessly, when he found Xu Xingxia coming in, he hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully: "Xu Baihu, what are your orders?" ”
Xu Xingxia stood in front of the counter and asked with concern, "Lao Wang, how is the situation with diamonds?" Did you receive more diamonds? ”
Wang Qinian said: "The contemptible people have already asked people to contact the prairie, and it is estimated that when the caravan comes back next month, it will bring a batch of diamonds to the contemptible people." The contemptible also released a rumor that if anyone found a diamond, they could sell it to the contemptible man, and the contemptible man was willing to pay three times the price. It is estimated that from next month, there should be a steady stream of diamonds. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and said slowly: "Very good, the matter of diamonds, just deal with it like this." By the way, I want you to go to Ningxia City and help me do something. ”
Wang Qinian said diligently: "My lord, please command." ”
Xu Xingxia said with a serious expression: "You go to Ningxia City, help me find a few people, and spread some news." ”
Wang Qinian nodded and asked, "What's the news?" ”
Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Let's just say that the Tartars are preparing to go south in a big way and attack Ningxia Town, and the number may be about 10,000 people." ”
Wang Qinian was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, this will cause unnecessary panic." The southward movement of more than 10,000 Tartars will attract the attention of the imperial court. ”
Xu Xingxia said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry about this, anyway, you just do what I ask." ”
Wang Qinian looked a little embarrassed.
Xu Xingxia said bluntly: "Then do you do it or not?" ”
Wang Qinian thought for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I'll do it." However, I am not fit to come forward. I know that there is a person named Bai Siwen in Ningxia City, and it is quite appropriate to do such a thing. However, it is estimated that twenty or thirty taels of silver will be needed as a cost. ”
Xu Xingxia released fifty taels of silver and said in a deep voice: "Then you go to this Bai Siwen and ask him to take over this matter as soon as possible." In ten days, I will hear the news from Ningxia City. ”
Wang Qinian agreed.
