Chapter 8 Training
On the training ground of the Wuguan Cavalry Camp, two thousand soldiers stood solemnly. Chen Yue looked at the black heads below, full of pride. From today on, I also have my own troops directly under my command. Originally, after being awarded the title of Captain of Thousands, I should be under the jurisdiction of a group of soldiers.
There were a thousand soldiers, but there were really not enough officers, and new captains needed to be carefully selected, so Chenyue's men were increased to 2,000. The Wuguan military system also underwent all-round changes. Zhou Ruhai canceled the original left and right cavalry.
At the same time, all the original right cavalrymen and horses were dispersed and divided into various departments to prevent another mutiny. The entire army's cavalry was divided into eight battalions, and each battalion was unified with eight captains. Each battalion had one thousand to two thousand five thousand.
Wait, the infantry is still divided into two battalions, the left and right. The leaders are selected from the original infantry captains. Chenyue belongs to 500 veterans of the original left cavalry army. In addition, Chenyue's family is from Fengyang County under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou.
, Zhou Ruhai specially gave him 1,500 Fengyang recruits. In Zhou Ruhai's words, fellow countrymen lead fellow countrymen, and their combat effectiveness is strong. Chenyue's task is to make these recruits form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and the burden on his shoulders is still very heavy.
The recruits in the audience were all wondering how this surprisingly young fellow became a captain. He looked younger than us. Could it be that he was a disciple of a certain general who rose to the position through connections.
Looking at the veterans next to me, I feel like they look down on us. They point at us and I want to go up and punch them.
Of course Chen Yue also knew what the recruits were thinking. If he were standing in the audience, he would definitely have the same doubts. Chen Yue said: "We are all recruits from Fengyang. I am also from Fengyang. I am an ordinary farmer's boy. Maybe you want to ask
Why did you become a school captain? Why do these veterans look down on others?" There was a sudden murmur in the audience, but no one really dared to question it.
"Old soldier, listen to the order, take off your armor and take off your clothes!" Chenyue shouted. Now the veteran was confused, isn't it training for new recruits? Why are we being asked to take off our clothes? Is it possible that we should also dance to cheer up the new recruits? But after the martial arts
After Guan Yizhan, Chenyue still had some authority. Although everyone had doubts, they all followed the instructions.
The recruits also looked puzzled, but when the veterans, including Chen Yue, took off their clothes, everyone was stunned. The shirtless men in front of them had scars all over their bodies, which were shocking. Even Chen Yue's seemingly childish face had scars all over his body.
There are also several scars.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, with faces full of surprise and admiration.
"Those of us all crawled out from the pile of dead people. We were just like you, starting from recruits. But this journey has been difficult. Many brothers are gone and many families are broken. But we have no choice.
No regrets, behind Wuguan is Liangzhou, which is our home, we must not let the Yanrong barbarians take a step forward! Do you understand!" Chenyue shouted.
"Nuo!" At this time, the recruits swept away their previous doubts and contempt. The eighteen-year-old young man impressed them all at once with the scars all over his body. Liangzhou's people are inherently tough, and this wild greeting gift,
It is easier to impress recruits.
Based on his experience in several cavalry battles and through communication with many cavalry captains, Chenyue formulated a series of training plans. The 1,500 recruits will be divided into twenty centurions, and the old and new will be combined.
, led by veterans for training. The first thing is assassination. The first contact of cavalry must be with spears. To ensure that one hit is sure to hit, what needs to be exercised is arm strength, endurance, and attention to stability and ruthlessness; secondly, the flexibility of formation must be practiced.
When to sprint, when to slow down, when to change formations, and when to change the depth of the strike, all need to be tempered over and over again; the kung fu of riding and shooting also needs to be practiced. To eliminate the enemy in motion, you must rely on bows and arrows, and you can shoot accurately immediately.
That is the nightmare of the nomads. The Yan Rong cavalry is best at riding and shooting. Chenyue must create an elite force as quickly as possible.
Time passed unknowingly, and there was no movement from both the Yan Rong and Zhou Dynasties. They seemed to be waiting for a chance to fight. The Yan Rong troops were divided into two groups. On one side, the Sixth Prince led 60,000 soldiers and Chen Bing Wuguan, in an attempt to invade Liangzhou. On the other side, the general Tuo
Ba Hong led an army of 100,000 to attack Youzhou. His intention was very obvious. With these troops and horses, it was not enough to fully attack the Zhou Dynasty. What Yanrong wanted to do was to seize territory and test the true combat power of the Zhou army. Liang Youer
The terrain is steep and has been the only way for nomads to enter the country since ancient times. Therefore, if we can capture these two states, we can establish an advantage for all-out war in the future.
In Zhou Ruhai's study: "Xiaochen, now you are also a captain. How about it? It's not easy to lead soldiers, right?"
Chen Yue on the side smiled: "General, I am a big girl getting on the sedan chair - for the first time, I directly became a captain of a thousand people. The training and formation coordination of these two thousand people really made me very anxious.
"
"Haha, it's all like this. Just go ahead and do it. My vision is not wrong, and Wang Gui's vision is not wrong. Also, you should read more military books. When marching and fighting, brute force alone is not enough." Zhou Ruhai
Laughing loudly.
"Nuo, General, I have an idea. Do you think I can pull the troops out and find a few groups of Yanrong scouts to practice? Actual combat is the best way to train troops." Chenyue tentatively expressed his thoughts.
.
"It's not impossible, but you have to pay attention to safety. If there are two thousand people, if the Yan Rong army is attracted, it won't be enough to squeeze their teeth. Okay, don't rely on me, go and do it yourself." Zhou Ruhai waved.
He waved his hands and started to chase people away.
"Okay. I'll retire at the end." Chen Yue received a positive reply and left happily. Zhou Ruhai looked at the retreating figure and secretly sighed: This is a good seedling. With proper training, he will definitely be a responsible person in the future.
The leading general.
In the next period of time, Chen Yue divided the entire battalion into ten pairs, with two centurions in a group, and went out to look for Yan Rong's small group of cavalry. Chen Yue's order was that whenever encountering an enemy with less than a hundred people, two groups would attack.
Annihilate the enemy and avoid it if there are more than a hundred people. Try to minimize casualties while training. If you encounter enemy reinforcements during the battle, you must withdraw from the battlefield immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!
Just like that, Yan Rong Youqi's nightmare began. He was attacked from time to time while patrolling. The key point was that the opponent was always picking on the soft persimmons. If he could beat him, he would fight. If he couldn't beat him, he would run away. You can lure the enemy deeper, but they won't take the bait.
, you should stay behind closed doors, and others should stay still. For a moment, Yan Rong was in a state of panic. The scouts were cautious when they went out to collect intelligence. If there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately turn around and run away. When Mu Yunsheng finally reacted,
When they came over and sent out a large number of elite cavalry to actively look for the Zhou cavalry, Chen Yue had already retreated back to Wuguan. The sixth prince, Mu Yunsheng, was so angry that he became angry.
After a month, the results were outstanding. The entire battalion beheaded more than a thousand people, and our own side only lost a few dozen people. It was difficult not to win even if we bullied the few. The recruits gradually became familiar with the rhythm of actual combat, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
