Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 748
Outside Xiazhou City, the teaching brigade training base.

Ye Chen brought Yang Jiye and Zeng Shangfei here in person, accompanied by Hei Yue, the head of the training department and the head of the military law department.

As soon as the four of them entered the base, Ye Chen said to Yang Jiye and Zeng Shangfei with a smile on his face: "I brought you two here today to show you the spear formation practiced by Black Moon."

The four of them walked to the martial arts arena, and the [-] infantrymen below were quickly lined up with spears wrapped in thick animal skins. The [-] infantrymen on the opposite side were also armed with round shields and long knives, the longest infantry equipment of this era. Compared with the queue of five hundred sword shieldmen on the opposite side, it was much more scattered.

"Black Moon! It's time to start." Ye Chen ordered.

Hei Yue bowed and said, "Obey."

Zeng Shangfei looked at it, looked puzzled, and couldn't help but said to himself: "They are all long spears, how can we fight hand-to-hand without short soldiers?"

Ye Chen knew what Zeng Shangfei was worried about. Although the pikemen can give the opponent a fierce kill, there are always many enemies who will rush close. If the back row is not prepared, the swordsmen will suffer in hand-to-hand combat, so he smiled and said: " The pikemen were commanded by Hei Yue, and Zeng Shangfei went off to command the other team, and replaced the weapons in his hands with wooden knives and wooden shields for practice."

Zeng Shangfei went down to prepare, and Yang Jiye couldn't help asking after observing for a while: "Your Majesty, the queue of 500 people in Hei Yue is really neat, and why don't they use big drums and military flags?"

"In the future, a team of hundreds of people will not need to rely on flags and big drums, but will rely on officers' passwords to command." Ye Chen felt that the meaning of war drums and a large number of military flags was too vague, and he planned to use military flags only for battalion and team command in the future. In terms of communication with officials, but if the whole army vigorously promotes the spear formation in the next step, it will still need to be equipped with some snare drums in the future, and train the soldiers of the spear formation to listen to the drums and unify their steps.

Zeng Shangfei beat the drums himself, his team still followed the general tradition, the soldiers rushed forward with shouts.

After the two exercises, Yang Jiye's face was already pale, with cold sweat on his forehead.

After Zeng Shangfei came back, his face was pale, and he said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect the infantry to fight with long spears like this, but this requires the infantry to follow orders and keep order, and the pace must always be at the same pace. Just click on it."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "It's not difficult to make the infantry orderly and orderly, orderly and consistent. I personally wrote the formation regulations a few days ago to let the legions learn and practice formation. I know that many people are because of I have to learn and practice my will, but I don’t think so in my heart. The reason why the black moon infantry’s spear formation is so powerful is that the 500 people can move in a uniform manner.”

Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused for a moment, and then said: "However, in the final analysis, this is just a drill. The real effect depends on seeing actual combat."

Zeng Shangfei took a deep breath and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have obtained this method of training a strong army."

Ye Chen smiled and did not speak. This army has borrowed nearly a thousand years of human army battle experience in the future, and it is no longer a product of this era.

Yang Jiye looked thoughtful, and Ye Chen couldn't help asking: "Is Yang Aiqing worried about anything? Or do you have any thoughts about this gun formation?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the effect of this spear array really makes me feel unbelievable, but the soldier's skill in using long spears is still a bit poor, and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Yang Jiye paused for a moment, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he finally said: "I have taught some marksmanship skills to the infantry who use the spear array. I dare to guarantee that after the soldiers have learned some skills of the minister's Yang family's marksmanship, the power of this spear array can still be strong." Add a lot more."

Ye Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Then there is old Yang Aiqing."

Yang Jiye quickly said: "This is a matter of the minister's duty."

...

...

There are four training bases for the teaching team. They don't have any names, they are number one to number four.

Xin Ruishan is an infantry soldier in the 2000nd Brigade, 2000rd Battalion, [-]th Company, [-]th Platoon, and [-]st Squad of the Qinglong Infantry Regiment. He and [-] people from the same regiment came from Shunzhou yesterday.The [-] of them were also drawn from the battalions, companies, and platoons under the four brigades of the Legion.So after coming, they were also dispersed for individual physical fitness and skill training, as well as the establishment of obedience and discipline awareness.In addition, it is the training of the queue.

After arriving from Shunzhou, Xin Ruishan and the 2000 people from the same legion took a day off and were assigned to the No. [-] training base today.

At this time, Xin Ruishan was carrying a backpack that had just been developed and issued by the equipment department, and was walking in a five-column column. He looked left and right all the way. Those who came to the nearby legion camp for training, I heard that they have been here for seven or eight days, and depending on the situation, they can play some sports games during the training camp.

"This training camp is not as scary as the company commander said when we came here! This is much more comfortable than staying in the company." Xin Ruishan muttered secretly.

On the west side of the school field, there is a sports game that Xin Ruishan has never seen before. It seems to be the legendary Cuju, but it is different. The ball is kicked with feet, and the door is not suspended in the air, but placed on the ground. superior.

The sports game seemed to be popular, as the stadium was buzzing with excitement.Xin Ruishan thought that when he settles down, I want to play too.Xin Ruishan didn't know that this sports game also came from Ye Chen's unintentional words, but what is Ye Chen's identity now, every word he says, even if it is a casual sentence, will be pondered by many people, and the result is football , although there are still some differences from football in later generations, it is almost the same.

Xin Ruishan is 17 years old. He was conscripted into the army after the Xiangfu Kingdom was established at the beginning of the year. Their Qinglong Legion did not participate in the battle two months ago, so he only went through the most basic training and has not experienced actual combat. Strictly speaking, he was still a recruit.In fact, the teaching team assigns the soldiers who come to participate in the training camp according to the situation of different soldiers, such as military age and age, whether they have participated in actual combat, whether they have been beheaded, and their martial arts strength, etc.!

For example, Xin Ruishan was assigned to the collective group of recruits, a small group of 15 people, and each instructor was in charge of three small groups.

"Fatty, it seems that there are new recruits over there than us." Gao Debao, who was in the same brigade behind him, said in a low voice. Gao Debao's situation is the same as Xin Ruishan's. He joined the army at the same time. Can be regarded as recruits.

"I care about them, I'm already a veteran in front of them." Xin Ruishan looked at the school ground and playground with a little excitement, and he felt that he liked the atmosphere.Because I heard that an army of 1 people was going to be sent to Yuhe in the Western Regions, another [-] new recruits were recruited across the country this time, and they were sent directly to the teaching team for training.

Although the training base of the teaching team is divided into No. [-] to No. [-], the whole group is only divided into four areas. Xinruishan's group of [-] recruits stands in the middle of the school field, and veterans occasionally look around when they pass by. With a glance at them, Xin Ruishan looked at the stage. The officer of the training department who led them was handing over the military records to the training base. Soon a burly officer came to nod his head. He waved a thin stick as thick as a finger, from From left to right, they tapped their heads one by one to count, just like buying fat pigs in the vegetable market.

When Xin Ruishan was in the company, he received the unique queue training of the Xiangfu Army, so he naturally knew the basic discipline, so when the wooden stick came over, he stood with his head held high and his chest held high, and the officer walked past Xin Ruishan in a blink of an eye. , The wooden stick was placed on Xin Ruishan's head, and just as Xin Ruishan breathed a sigh of relief, the officer retreated in front of Xin Ruishan.

He looked Xin Ruishan up and down and said: "You are so fat, the school field is a two-mile lap, and you will run six laps around the training field first."

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and yelled at the review platform: "The standard hourglass with six laps and twelve miles, the timing begins."

Xin Ruishan looked at the officer stupidly, but the officer turned his head and said with a grinning grin: "Fatty, if you don't meet the standard, your meals will be half of others'."

Xin Ruishan's face changed drastically when he heard the words, but he still didn't fully recover.

Gao Debao next to him saw that Xin Ruishan was still in a daze, so he quickly pushed Xin Ruishan's arm, and said in a low voice, "Fatty! Run quickly, the timer has started."

The officer immediately turned his head to Gao Debao, and said with a half-smile: "Our Xiangfu country's queue regulations stipulate that no one in the queue can speak without permission, so you also run together."

Gao Debao was stunned when he saw the officer, and the officer from the training department who brought them came over and cursed: "Hurry up and run."

...

...

The two recruits were punished on the first day. A dark-skinned and capable instructor behind him swung a thumb-thick wooden stick at Xin Ruishan who was running at the end. Many instructors and veterans stood by and watched leisurely.

"Last lap! Fatty hurry up!"

Gao Debao said while panting, Xin Ruishan ran so parched and unable to answer, he nodded slightly, and another wooden stick fell from behind, Xin Ruishan was beaten so hard that he grinned, and ran a few steps with all his strength, a little faster and then Immediately slowed down.

The wooden stick slapped on Xin Ruishan's back. Gao Debao gritted his teeth, slowed down and landed behind Xin Ruishan. The instructor immediately began to beat Gao Debao. Gao Debao pushed Xin Ruishan's back and cursed: "Fatty man!" , you don’t want to be competitive, you can’t even run six laps, and you want to make meritorious service on the battlefield and go back to marry Liu Yi’er in your village, go dreaming!”

"Liu Yi'er!" The exhausted Xin Ruishan opened his eyes wide, and a girl with a graceful figure and a cute smile appeared in his mind, and suddenly roared and rushed forward.
