On the basis of the previous training phalanx and cooperation of soldiers and horses, Wang Hongyu strengthened the spear phalanx.
In particular, the training of formation changes and dense square formations has been strengthened.
This is equivalent to a special upgrade for the original Ming army.
Take the white pole soldiers who hold strong white wood long poles with bladed barbs on top and hard iron rings on the bottom as an example. Their spear phalanx is not a dense formation, but a small and flexible formation.
You can use the square formation to fight cavalry and fight infantry, or you can use the bladed barb to fight like a halberd in melee.
However, the maximum energy of the gun array has not yet been exerted.
The veterans of the Sichuan Army and the new recruits of the Zhejiang Army, because they had been overshadowed by the white-armed soldiers in the past, have been training in dense square formations in the past two months. In terms of the density and killing effect of the spears, they have already surpassed the white-armed soldiers.
The white-pole soldiers also started training and competition. Both sides learned from each other and improved step by step.
On this day, Wang Hongyu launched a new training topic, which was to stand in military posture.
Standing in a military posture is almost a cliché, but now it has another magical effect.
"First row, get down on one knee and don't change!"
"Second row, hold your spear level! Don't move!"
"Third row, raise it high above your head! Don't let it go!"
It has been an hour, and the spear phalanx still remains motionless.
Others' standing military posture is to stand still and not move; Wang Hongyu's military posture is a military posture of spear phalanx.
The wind blows and the sun blows, but the thunder cannot move.
Based on the most elite veterans of the Confederate Army, the training is very effective and the results are very outstanding.
“Not bad~”
The eldest brother watched him train, and many of the methods opened his eyes.
You don't need to lift the stone lock. You can exercise your arm strength by lifting the gun for a long time.
But there are still shortcomings!
"Third brother, you are training to be as immovable as a mountain, but you only have the shape of a mountain, but not the reality of a mountain."
Zhou Dunji is famous for his military training, but comparing the two, the training methods of the three places are indeed more effective than his methods, but the essence of military training is that the third brother is not as good as himself.
"I know that as a military officer, or even as a general in the future, you need to be immovable both in temperament and internally. You need to do some training now."
"What training?"
"breathe."
?
are you kidding me?
Wang Hongyu’s face was full of black question marks. Not everyone knows how to breathe, but at least I’m in great shape. I can’t even breathe when I’m marching. How can I practice breathing?
Wang Hongyu felt that he had been underestimated. Since he was at least a good player now, why should he practice something that could be used to improve his martial arts, right?
Zhou Dunji's eyes were very powerful. He looked straight at me and said, "Your breathing reveals your thoughts."
"What?"
"Just now, your breathing unconsciously became lighter and faster, which shows that you are a little contemptuous."
Zhou Dunji is very sure that Wang Hongyu can't control his breathing yet, and now it is his body's instinctive reaction.
Wang Hongyu was suddenly shocked. He did have contemptuous thoughts just now. Could it be that he showed it without paying attention?
"You are a little nervous now, your breathing has become very thin, and your body is in a state of contraction and concealment intentionally or unintentionally."
The eldest brother's eyes were like a torch, directly penetrating his thoughts, and Wang Hongyu's expression gradually became serious.
This is Sun Tzu's Art of War. What the eldest brother means is that the general is actually the mountain. The mountain cannot move, and it cannot even "move lightly" by breathing.
"Do you know? As a military officer or even a general, the soldiers around you are looking at you. Your breathing, expression and all behaviors affect everyone's mentality. When you are nervous, you will breathe quickly, and when you feel afraid, you will be careful to hold your breath.
These are all instincts, but they must be trained and kept motionless at all times!”
Unmoving as a mountain!
When fighting a war, one must remain as still as a mountain. In fact, when doing great things, one must remain as still as a mountain.
With the knowledge of later generations, Wang Hongyu quickly calmed down his mind, just like the tranquil lake surface.
When planning strategies in the past, I would sometimes enter this state, neither humble nor arrogant, and my mind would be as calm as water. Even if the situation changes rapidly, I would not express my inner thoughts.
After understanding this truth today, I will soon be able to consciously overcome the fluctuations of breathing and emotions.
After a day, not only do you practice by yourself, but you can also find someone to practice with.
There should be 500 people under his command, and everyone needs to keep their mentality as still as a mountain and their breathing steady and without waves.
Chat with these veterans, especially let them talk about their previous combat experiences or strange things they have experienced.
Regarding some things about the war in the past, the whole process was calm and everyone's facial expressions were relaxed and relaxed. Even the most easily ignored breathing was able to follow the state of mind and not be affected by the outside world.
If you have the consciousness to control it, you and the veterans can control their mentality.
Before falling asleep at night, my thoughts were focused on three goals. When I thought about the situation again, my breathing was still as calm as water, and I was able to control my instincts without being affected by emotions.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
I was woken up by the sound of hammering in the middle of the night.
I heard the sound of Li Tiezhu repairing the armor plates.
This cousin, who is less than fifteen years old, insists on following Wang Hongyu to Liaodong. Now he is temporarily acting as Wang Hongyu's servant and has settled down in the army.
Of course, his good skills in blacksmithing since he was a child were not wasted. He spent some money to build a blacksmith furnace that could be transported by horse-drawn carriage. He repaired ordnance in the army on weekdays, forged arrows, sabers, and even repaired armor and made pocket watches from time to time.
At this moment, the soldiers are being repaired in the army.
When Wang Hongyu arrived at his blacksmith's furnace, he did not disturb him, but carefully observed what he was doing.
I saw only a set of fish scale armor. A dozen of the thousands of armor plates were seriously worn. Li Tiezhu carefully observed each armor plate, observed it with his eyes, rubbed it with his hands, and patiently found the armor plates that needed to be replaced one by one.
come out.
During this process, all his attention was focused on the search, and his whole body was completely integrated into it. Even if the sound of the military's watch was heard, he did not even move his brows.
After finding the armor pieces, he had to recast them and sew them on one by one. He had already made the molds for the fish scale armor pieces, recast the ones that were completely damaged, and added molten iron to fill in the gaps if the damage was limited.
The summer is very hot, and the fire makes people feel unbearably hot. The sweat drops collect drop by drop, and then form a whole line of sweat and slide down.
At this time, his mentality was not only like Shisui's, but his entire mind, arms, and body were integrated with the hammer, armor, and even the blacksmith's furnace in his hand.
Next, he sewed the armor pieces onto the fish scale armor. He did not simply restore it, but focused all his attention on the composition and form. This set of armor became three-dimensional in his eyes, based on the original form.
It can also be modified and enhanced.
Thorough devotion can overcome sudden changes better than a calm mind.
If you completely integrate yourself into the battlefield and enter the realm of command and thinking, you will be completely unmoved by the outside world and become truly immovable. This chapter has been completed!
