16 October was the beginning of military training

At the beginning, it is to learn to stand in line, turn left and right, and walk in and run, which is the content of military training recruits.

At the beginning of this queue, it was miserable, and a large number of people couldn't even tell the difference between left and right.

At this time, the benefits of the old camp were manifested, and a large number of sticks and whips went up, beating and scolding, maintaining their training, but apart from this, there was no very heavy training, so even if there was no meat at this time, as long as there was a large mouthful of fragrant rice to eat, they were satisfied.

Time passed quickly, and after half a month, the queue was finally basically completed.

From November onwards, it's more intense training.

Queues, long runs, learning to listen to drums and flags, and practicing basic martial arts.

The amount of weight has also increased, divided into morning, afternoon, and evening, except for the patient, all are indispensable.

In the morning, noon, and evening, and in the cold wind, the army suddenly fainted and collapsed, and everyone's faces were bruised from the cold, and complaints inevitably rose, especially among the mountain people.

"What kind of warrior do you care, those who dare to flee will be killed!" Wang Shoutian stood in the snow wearing leather armor and roared angrily.

With a wave of his hand, he saw five deserters being pulled up, and there were two mountain people, with a fierce body and an unruly face, and three were young men who were agitated, crying: "Little official, spare me, I don't dare anymore." ”

One of them turned out to be the former Wang Shoutian's personal soldier Huzi.

Faced with this scene, Wang Shoutian was unwavering: "Kill!"

Seeing that the five people were desperately pressed, the five old battalions pulled out their knives, and in a flash of the knife, the five heads fell, and blood splattered, spurting out several feet.

Faced with this situation, the entire battalion of 200 people was silent.

"Pull it down, hang your head and show the crowd for three days, and the rest of the people, continue to train!" Wang Shoutian's gaze swept over the crowd and drank.

At this time, he had already handed over all the internal affairs to Xue Yuan to take care of, and he lived in the barracks all night, and did not go back to his room to sleep at night.

Wang Shoutian strictly enshrined military law, and some escaped captives were beheaded, and with the old camp as the core, he gradually selected some people to serve as military law corps, further strengthening military discipline.

Killing alone is not enough, but also kindness, Wang Shoutian leads by example, every time he says the same three times, the food and lodging are the same as everyone else, a large number of blood blisters have been blistered on the grinding body, and calluses have been worn out on the hands.

Xue Yuan spared no money and did his best to supply meat, and specially hired a chef to improve the food.

Later, a doctor was hired to deliver tea and medicine.

In order to maintain morale, he even composed and sang military songs, trained those who excelled, gave promotions and rewards, and promised to train them in the future and kill the enemy, how many rewards there were, and how would they benefit their families.

All these means finally suppressed the backlash of the soldiers.

At the end of November, everything was finally on track, and there was no dissenting voice in the army except for singing military songs.

At this time, the soldiers were officially allowed to practice with soldiers, and at this time, Wang Shoutian had already understood it relatively well.

"Training in the army, mainly spears, guns are the king of a hundred soldiers!"

"There is a proverb in the martial arts 'the year of the knife and the moon stick is the gun', that is, the marksmanship is the easiest to learn, it can be used when it is learned, it is immediate, and it is suitable for soldiers. ”

"The general uses the general, and there are eighteen potentials, the soldier uses the gun, as long as the six styles, the big seal and the big thorn. ”

Bing Shuyun: "The battle is convenient, and the winner is expected, and there is no such thing as the big seal and the big split, that is, the big seal and the big split is the real battlefield marksmanship, which is a practical technique summarized from the battlefield enemy, and it is believed that this method is the best, the most urgent, the most fast, and the most victorious."

Battlefield marksmanship is not as complex and delicate as field marksmanship, because when fighting life and death on the battlefield, people are flustered, and the techniques they usually train cannot be brought into play, and the only way to shoot the ground is to shoot at the ground, which is human nature.

In fact, these are not original, they have been recorded in the military books, but there are very few people who can learn them.

Wang Shoutian even felt that the six styles in the military book were too complicated, and after discussing with the old battalion, they were simplified into three steps - array, raise the gun, and stab!

Naturally, there were people in the army who knew how to practice guns, and after listening to Wang Shoutian's request, they understood it in their hearts, and within a few days, they came up with a set of standard gun training methods.

"The army is naturally dominated by big guns, but long knives, bows and arrows, and cavalry cannot be ignored. This is also Wang Shoutian's order, although he also thinks that the spear is the best choice for assembly line training, but on the battlefield, it is not a spear.

If there is no cooperation between the longsword battalion and the bow battalion, just a hundred bows and crossbows can be transferred to kill all the spear formations that emphasize the phalanx but are relatively sluggish in one battle.

If it is a cavalry, it is even easier, as long as it is fifty paces away from the pike, stop the horse and shoot calmly, if the spear is forward, ride the horse fifty paces further, wait for the pikes to die within the firing range, and so on.

After all, the spear is only a few meters, and the walking speed is even more limited, if the spear is not chaotic, it is the target of death, if it is chaotic, the power of the spear is suddenly dissipated.

Of course, whether it is a bow battalion or a cavalry battalion, they are all expensive arms, and there are not many in the towns, but this is not a reason, the world is so big, there will always be encounters, and you have to prepare first.

"Raise the gun!"

"Kill!" roared the army.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of December, and Xue Yuan felt that the New Year was coming, and everything was busy, so he came to the barracks to ask for instructions.

After reporting the permission, he entered the camp and was shocked.

I saw two hundred battalions of soldiers, lined up in several queues.

"Raise the gun!"

"Kill!" I saw the pikemen, under the command, all moving neatly, with a forest of spears, uniform movements, neat steps, straight as a long line.

Seeing this situation, Xue Yuan, who had something to do, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and after watching for a long time, he was reminded by a personal soldier to enter Wang Shoutian's camp.

Before he entered, he immediately said with a long greeting: "My lord said that he will be able to train this strong soldier today, and he will be able to be rich and noble." ”

"These are just seeds, if they can be several times dozens of times, they can be called a strong army. Wang Shoutian said with a smile, even if it was winter training, three months of military camp life made Wang Shoutian's face dark and lost a lot of weight, but his body and face were more resolute.

The childishness of the former teenager has all disappeared, and he already has obvious prestige.

Xue Yuan saw that there was no one in the tent, but he said with a smile: "Lord, you are only seventeen, and you are only eighteen during the Chinese New Year. ”

When Wang Shoutian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he looked carefully, he saw that Xue Yuan was different from before at this time, and the original poor color had now disappeared.

A white natal qi stood tall, and a cloud of pervasive white qi had condensed on it.

Wang Shoutian looked at himself again and was shocked.

I saw that in the golden seal, the white gas was flourishing, condensed into a group, and there was a condensed appearance, and before I knew it, the entire golden seal had been filled with tenths of **.

Unconsciously, the accumulated qi has reached the peak of the eighth-rank official.

His heart rejoiced, but he said, "If you don't say this beforehand, there must be something wrong with you when you come now, right?"

"Lord, I have finished building the city wall, and the items needed for life are also all ready, and now that the New Year is approaching, do you want to build a temple to worship?"

"Build a temple to worship?" Wang Shoutian asked.

"Yes, my lord, the people are uneasy without sacrifices, originally everything was built, and it is okay to put it on hold first, but now everything is stable, and it is the New Year, so I naturally hope that there will be sacrifices. ”

"Who is the sacrificer?"

"The local was originally Jishui County, this Jishui County spread for hundreds of miles, there is a big river in the wide, irrigation left and right fertile fields, it is said that now it is the dragon girl as a god, there was originally a dragon girl temple in the county, just because of the attack and crusade, so it is broken, it is better to rebuild it. Xue Yuan said.

"How long will it take to rebuild, and how much will it cost?" Wang Shoutian asked thoughtfully.

"Lord, the people want to build it, will actively participate, plus bricks, wood, stone, to build a new temple, only three days, it is exactly twenty-five, the lord can lead the military and people to sacrifice, and then the lord will also enter the house and return to the hometown. ”

Seeing that Wang Shoutian didn't understand for a while, Xue Yuan said: "Every New Year, the subordinates have to pay a visit to the commander, how can the lord not go?

"What you said is not wrong, these are all things that must be handled, you have come to take care of everything in an orderly manner, and you have worked hard. Wang Shoutian listened, took a few steps, and said: "If you don't say it, I can't think of it for a while." ”

He also said: "After training in the army for a long time, I will relax a little, and I will send representatives in the army to return to my hometown with food, and I will also visit the marshal and my mother...... I'm sorry for that. ”

"Don't worry, the ministers have already arranged it. Xue Yuan kowtowed and said, "This is the duty of a minister." ”

Wang Shoutian acted resolutely, and since he had decided, he would immediately go and gather the whole army at the moment.

A moment later, 200 people lined up in the open space, led by He Wulang and Zhang Yi.

"These days, you have worked hard, and now that the New Year is approaching, although in order to defend against the enemy, you can't wait for you to return to your hometown, but you can entrust people of the same clan to return to your hometown. ”

"I will send you and others two catties of meat and ten catties of noodles per person, and select those who are well trained to return to their hometowns, and those who go back must be sent back, and they must not be greedy for ink. ”

"The rest of the people who stay in the barracks can only practice once, they can relax, and double their meals on the New Year!"

Wang Shoutian only quieted down when he said this, and the people in the audience immediately cheered and finally got through it.

And there are two catties of meat, ten catties of noodles, although the food in the barracks is good, but as long as the soldiers think about it, they can imagine the current situation, the family is afraid that they will not be able to open the pot, but I am afraid that now they have to rely on bran vegetables every time, and now they are returning to their hometowns with noodles and meat, which is a great scenery, enough to arouse the envy of others, and these grains and meat can be brought back, so that the family can have a good year.

For a while, everyone was jubilant, Zhang Yi was thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking, but He Wulang's face was a little complicated, watching the boiling cheers.

In the past few months of training, Wang Shoutian's authority has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people.

This small army can be regarded as truly mastered.
