At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 49, advanced experiences and exercises of later generations

This meeting opened Ji Bu's eyes. He originally thought that the rebel army was a grassroots team, but now it seems to be more formal than he imagined. On the contrary, his men are still a ragtag group.

Originally, Ji Bu planned to leave after seeing Xu Fan, but now he wanted to learn some military skills from the rebels before leaving.

When he told Xu Fan about this idea, of course Xu Fan agreed. He originally wanted to recruit Ji Bu into the rebel army.

After sending Chen Lin and others to attack Xixian County, Xu Fan joined forces with Zhou Zhang, Wu Sheng, Chen Xiao and others to reorganize the rebel army and compiled it to suit the training plan of the rebel army.

After communicating with local officers such as Wu Sheng and Chen Xiao, Xu Fan discovered that formation training, which was of little use in later generations, was the most fundamental and important training in this era, and could even be said to surpass most training in the world. The art of war is extremely suitable for grassroots officers to learn.

Modern wars are all about dispersed formations and do not pay attention to neat formations. Because various artillery are too powerful, strict military formations are no longer of much use. But in this era, military formations are the basis of everything. The more rigorously organized the military formations are, the more powerful the formations are. The more rigorous it is, the stronger the army's combat effectiveness will be, and the formation training of later generations can be said to be the pinnacle representative of military formations.

Take Xu Fan's battle in Nanton County as an example. If the Qin army's generals could change their formations within half a minute, the Qin army might not be defeated by the rebels.

In modern queues, it only takes a few seconds to change the formation.

The formation training in Xu Fan's world can only be said to be a priceless treasure in this era. At least Chen Xiao and Wu Sheng are aware that Xu Fan can change the direction of an army's formation with a few simple movements, facing Xu Fan They all admired him.

Even Xu Fan wanted to hand over the knowledge of queue and formation training to the grassroots officers of the rebel army. Both of them expressed opposition. They believed that this was an inherited knowledge and could not be spread like this. But how could Xu Fan care about this? The first priority is to improve the combat effectiveness of the rebels.

So Xu Fan first taught the most basic queue and formation training to the rebel army commanders, team leaders and other grassroots officers. These officers then taught the soldiers. However, most of the rebel officers were civilians, and it was extremely slow to accept such military skills. Training The effect is also extremely unsatisfactory.

There are only a few hundred people in the entire rebel army who actually have some military training experience, and it is impossible for Xu Fan to train 2000 people at the same time. Xu Fan faces the problem of the lack of qualified grassroots officers in the rebel army.

Xu Fan could only recall the advanced experience of his predecessors. They also led a group of farmers with little combat experience. How did they solve the problem of combat effectiveness?
  "Prisoner!" Xu Fan thought of a plot in "Bright Sword" where Li Yunlong captured a national army officer, and in the end this officer became Li Yunlong's teacher in the military academy.

There happened to be more than 400 prisoners of the Qin Army among the rebels. These people were veterans who had been in the army for many years and were extremely experienced in various military skills. As instructors of the rebel army, they would definitely be able to train the rebel soldiers well.

So Xu Fan talked to Wu Sheng and Chen Xiao about the idea of ​​using prisoners of the Qin army as instructors. Although the two thought this idea was a bit exaggerated, they found that the rebels could not find a good way at all.

So Xu Fan asked his soldiers to bring Huang Hu and other Qin army commanders over. When they met, he said to them: "The rebel army lacks officers to train soldiers. The general planned to let you redeem your merits and train the rebel soldiers as instructors. What do you think?"

When Huang Hu heard that Xu Fan didn't want to hang them, he immediately said: "The villain is willing."

They had tried the intimidation of the rebel army. For an official as high as the county supervisor and censor, the rebels hanged him without any hesitation. The hundreds of generals and five hundred lords who followed also accompanied the county supervisor and censor.

Huang Hu originally thought that they would also be hanged, but he did not expect that the rebels would not kill officers below the camp commander. Huang Hu and the others were grateful to their low official positions for allowing them to escape. Now Xu Fan said that he would let them become instructors. I didn't dare to refute it at all.

However, the soldiers and officers at the grassroots level of the rebel army were very dissatisfied. A large number of rebel commanders headed by Deng Zhong came to Xu Fan and complained: "General, we are the victors. How can there be any prisoners in this world who become the victor's instructors."

Xu Fan explained patiently: "There is no priority in learning, and those who are masters are teachers. Do you think that under the same conditions, you can defeat them by commanding a group of soldiers like prisoners of the Qin Army?"

Deng Zhong confidently said: "Of course, they are our defeated generals." I thought Deng Zhong was being tough, but the other commanders also looked confident, which left Xu Fan speechless. He just fought a thousand-man battle. Fighting, you think you are invincible. Where did you get this mysterious self-confidence?

Xu Fan said helplessly: "Well, since you have this confidence, then I will let you fight with the Qin army prisoners. If you can win, I will cancel this idea, but if you fail, you must admit it." The excellence of the Qin Army allowed Qin Army prisoners to become instructors and learn from the excellent experiences of others.”

Deng Zhong said first: "General, we have an agreement."

Deng Zhong found 50 rebel officers as his comrades. They were all soldiers who had the courage to take the lead and made meritorious deeds in previous wars. Their combat effectiveness was also higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

As for the Qin army, Huang Hu recruited his own men and other soldiers to supplement them. Both sides wore leather armor and used long spears without spearheads. The spearheads were rubbed with limestone. The rules of the exercise were also very simple. As long as the soldiers were marked. If you get a white spot, you lose your combat effectiveness.

In order to ensure fairness, Xu Fan asked Ji Bu to lead 20 rangers as referees. They would be responsible for clearing away soldiers who were hit by gun heads during this exercise.

Such an exercise aroused the interest of the entire rebel army. Before the exercise began, they came to the military camp one after another, wanting to know the results of the exercise.

Rebel barracks.

In the open space where the large army gathered, there were two small armies preparing for war. Both sides were extremely serious.

Zhou Zhang said with great interest: "This kind of exercise is a good method. It can test the combat effectiveness of the army and promote talents. But you just trust that the Qin army will win?"

Xu Fan said calmly: "The Qin army doesn't even have such fighting power. How did the six countries get annexed? We were extremely lucky to win last time. It would be nice to have such an exercise to wake them up."

Zhou Zhang was speechless.

In the training ground.

A veteran next to Huang Hu whispered: "Boss, should we let the rebels go? After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

Other soldiers thought the same way.

But Huang Hu smiled bitterly and said: "I had the same idea at first, but the leader of the rebel army said that if we win, as instructors, we will teach the rebel soldiers to become qualified officers, and the rebel army will let us go. But if we fail, the rebel army will We will be detained forever, so brothers, if you want to go home, just work hard."

After hearing this, the prisoners of the Qin army took the joke drill a little more seriously.

After both parties were ready, Ji Bu said loudly: "The exercise begins!"

"Kill, kill!" Soldiers from both sides shouted loudly and attacked each other.
