Li Jing's first parade exercise was a success, although this time it actually showed not much. But when Li Jing stood on the school ground, shouting orders one by one in a loud voice, and then the two teams of 100 soldiers on the left skillfully revealed all kinds of actions in front of everyone, it still surprised those who came to watch.

Turn left, turn right, turn back, every turn is neat and uniform, which is pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the standard queue movements, Li Jing also added spear tactical action drills, bow and arrow shooting drills, and regimental rows of horizontal knives and Peng arrays.

Before and after, the exercise time of the left one adds up to only one hour. There is not much content on display, but the layman can see the excitement, and the insider can look at the doorway. Many of the recruits in the camp and the officers who did not have much military experience thought that Zuo Yi was very fancy and lively, and did not see any use for these things. They only saw that when the left one could exercise, the shooting rate of the bow and arrow shooting drill was surprisingly low, but the hit rate was about 20%. When I saw the spear formation drill of Zuo Yidu, I was not surprised.

Song Wen, Marquis of Duyu, Song Xi, the ten generals of the Wendeng Battalion, Song Xi, the suppression envoy of the Longshan Battalion, the guard and capture envoy of Dongmu, the You Yi envoy of the Penglai Water Division, and the envoy of the Dengzhou Military Prison City Commandery, all of them looked at each other in surprise when they watched the exercise in Zuo Yidu.

These officers were all commanders of the army, and the minimum number of men under them was 1,000. For the Dengzhou United Army, they naturally understood that the biggest role of summoning such a group of men and horses was only to use it as a supplementary battalion and auxiliary battalion. Because the Dengzhou battalion was full of newly recruited farmers, there was not even a single experienced veteran. Even among the officers above the team, few of them have fought with real swords and guns. is such a group of men and horses, at most, they will help defend the city, transport food or something, and really pull it to the battlefield, that is, to send them to death.

But after watching Zuo Yidu's exercises, they had some strange feelings.

They could still see at a glance that this soldier was still the new soldier, but it was different from the other solidarity soldiers they had seen along the way.

They stood there like rows of javelins, so neat and solemn. Although his face is still a little immature, he has a bit of a military temperament. And when they practiced, they looked at each other and did it very seriously. Although there is not much disagreement with the people who are going around this time.

But they know very well that soldiers and horses like the Solidarity Soldier want to survive if they are against the enemy. The only thing they can rely on is not the bravery of these solidarity soldiers, no matter how well these people play with their guns, how beautiful they dance with their swords, and no matter how many shots their arrows are. These do not play a decisive role in the event of a head-on collision between two armies.

When the two armies meet, the most important thing is momentum and determination. Only by daring to fight can there be a possibility of victory.

And it is not enough to have momentum and determination, the most important thing is the military formation. The Solidarity is just a group of auxiliary soldiers, and although they are equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows, they do not have heavy crossbow throwing carts, no cavalry, and even the armament of arrows is limited. They are even less experienced, and they lack the ferocity of a protracted fight. Therefore, in contrast to the enemy, the greatest reliance is actually on the military formation, forming a whole to fight the enemy. Once the battle is broken, a group of recruits with no battlefield experience will become puppets of the enemy and be tortured and killed to their heart's content.

There are no such fierce and brave soldiers in the left capital, but the array in the left capital is decent. The military formation is quite complicated. Even if you are a veteran who has led the army for many years, it is very difficult to lead a team of veterans, and it is very difficult for the soldiers to spread out various formations on the battlefield like arm commands.

Because the more people, the more complicated the military formation is, and on the battlefield, different military formations have to be used in different situations. Therefore, every military formation on the battlefield is actually the result of countless exercises in peacetime. Even if only one military formation is used on the battlefield, it is possible to train dozens of military formations in peacetime.

A military formation that has been in a difficult position for a long-standing army, and the array drill on the left side of the capital has made these officers see another possibility.

Although what is displayed in front of me can only be called an array rather than a military array, the military array is composed of various arrays. It can be said that the array is the core of the military formation, and the general army directly rehearses the military formation, one by one until the training is proficient. As you can imagine, the left one starts training from a basic array. As long as Li Jing is given time, in time, if Zuo Yi can always maintain the current state, then they can train the array better, and then start to practice various military formations. When the time comes, one will pass a hundred, one law, and a hundred laws.

In the stands, Duyu Marquis Song Wen turned his head and whispered to Song Xi, the tenth general of Wendeng Battalion: "It's only been half a month, this Li Jing has really trained this left one with a clear eye, which is really rare." ”

Song Xi was also transferred from Qingzhou, and like Song Wen, he was the clansman of Song Wei who made Song Wei the old department. He smiled and said: "As my subordinates know, this Li Jing's training method is very different from the usual method, he does not let recruits practice swords, guns, spears, bows and arrows, but only allows his subordinates to run, stand, and walk in line. There are many people below who say that he is grandstanding, and that such a team is afraid that it will be a silver-like wax spear head when it is trained, and it will not be useful. ”

Song Wen smiled: "On top of the battle formation, what is the use of one person fighting again?" Two fists are still hard to beat four hands, not to mention that this is just a group of farmers, can you still train them to fight with one against ten, and no one can stop them by rushing left and right, or what? If you can fight again, a row of spears poked over, and it also became a sieve. On top of the battle array, the more people there are, the more they have to rely on the battle array. Why is it that when the officers and soldiers suppress bandits, they can always use fewer enemies and more enemies, or even one enemy to ten? It's because the thieves are chaotic and there is no formation. ”

"Don't look at the left one trained by Li Jing is not what it is now, but in fact, this kid is really smart. He grasped the fundamentals, in terms of individual soldier ability, the group of recruits in Zuo Yidu are not bad, didn't you see the previous shooting drill, they used a one-stone bow to fire ten arrows in a row, but their faces were not red and they were not panting? Many people only stared at the hit, but they didn't see that the strength of this group of recruits was no weaker than that of the archer battalion veterans in the official health. ”

"This group of recruits has a good foundation, most of them have practiced martial arts, and training their sword, gun and archery skills is just icing on the cake. But Li Jing went straight to the queue for training, which showed that he still had to train in the military formation. And the military formation is the way to embody and give full play to the true ability of the soldiers and horses. This is a talent, and he is also a protégé of Cui Yunqing and Yu Xuan. Speaking of the back, Song Wen's gaze when he looked at Li Jing was also full of complexity.

"Is Marquis Yu going to announce Li Jing's commendation now?"

"That's right, and a lot of awards!" Song Wen said softly, then got up and walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "Colleagues, Brother Paoze, the drill just now was very good, which surprised the official. When Li Jiaotou first proposed this training plan, the official was still a little hesitant, but when he saw it today, it was beyond the official's expectations. However, in half a month, the 100 recruits in Zuo Yidu have changed their old appearance and their momentum has increased greatly. This is all the credit of Li Jiaotou, and this official wants to take credit to you. ”

Li Jing hurriedly said: "My lord's praise, the post is just a meager achievement, all thanks to the cultivation of the upper peak, all the colleagues and the robes under the bottom work together." ”

"You don't have to be too humble, I and other officials have everything in their eyes. This official has just received an official letter from the marshal, which is a reward for the previous exploits of Wang Jiangtou and Li Jiaotou. I would like to take this opportunity to declare now. ”

Hearing that the long-awaited reward had finally come down, Li Jing was excited. He turned his head to look at Wang Chong and Zhang Hong, and saw that both of them had flowers in their eyes. He raised his head to search for Xiaoshi in the queue below, and was also very excited to see them hear the news, originally Li Jing was worried that they would be a little awkward because of the sale of military merits. But at this time, there was nothing unusual on their faces except for happiness, and he was relieved.

When he retracted his gaze, he happened to meet Feng Liang's gaze. Feng Liang was reprimanded with a rod a few days ago, and has been asking for leave since then. Today, because it was a drill drill, Zhilu Dao had a Shangguan coming, and he finally appeared. At this time, the two looked at each other, Feng Liang seemed to have forgotten his dissatisfaction with Li Jing a few days ago, and smiled at Li Jing, his eyes full of expectation.

The official document for the promotion is very long, and it is obviously written by an old scribe, and it is four and six. Li Jing pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing half of the content about himself.

Song Wen recited it for almost a cup of tea before he finally finished it, and Li Jing's mind felt like a storm blowing through the wind, making him feel a sense of wandering.

The rewards and rewards are very rich, he has been promoted, and he has finally changed from a small person to a high-ranking Tang official.
