In ancient times, most of the soldiers had little education and had not learned any martial arts. Things that were too complicated were not suitable for soldiers to learn. Therefore, Pang Gang asked the soldiers to practice only one action, which was "stabbing the spear!"
If the movements are done well, you can defend tightly, facilitate the attack, and threaten the enemy mentally.
There are two steps to "stab the gun". The first step is to hold the gun sideways, and the second step is to thrust with force. From now on, let them practice these two actions repeatedly every day until they can practice the movements to a standard, practice quickly, and practice
Until conditioned reflex.
As for the soldiers practicing the sword, they also only practice one move, which is divided into two steps, the first step is to raise the sword, and the second step is to slash diagonally. The movement of raising the sword also needs to be standard, and the angle of the action of slashing the sword is also strictly regulated.
In this way, the training lasted until October. After three months of training, the soldiers have rapidly improved in terms of physical strength, spirit and will.
At this time, the weather in the North has begun to slowly cool down, and the grains planted in June have been harvested. However, Pang Gang's training of his soldiers has not stopped, because there is always an indescribable sense of crisis.
This bothered him. In October, as nearly a hundred households of refugees came to seek refuge, Pang Gang recruited another 120 soldiers, so that Wanghai Fort now had 240 soldiers. For ordinary people,
It can be said that we have the ability to protect ourselves from the attacks of bandits and robbers.
Still on the school grounds, the north wind was blowing gently. Pang Gang stood upright in the center of the school grounds. In front of him stood rows of soldiers in helmets, their chainmails shining brightly in the dim sunlight.
It still shines brightly under the light.
Looking at the soldiers lined up in neat formation, Pang Gang shouted: "Get ready!"
With a sound of "Wow!", everyone stood up straight!
Pang Gang shouted again: "Raise the gun!"
"kill!"
Hundreds of spears protrude together, the scene is quite spectacular, and there is also a trace of awe-inspiring murderous intent.
"Raise the knife!"
"kill!"
There was a roar, and pieces of sword light were raised. There were only sixty soldiers in the sword, but their uniform movements also gave people an amazing visual effect. The pieces of sword light slashed down diagonally, and even in the breeze.
It has quite a fierce momentum.
After training for a while, Pang Gang picked up a gun and walked in front of everyone. He made a stabbing motion and said loudly: "When you take the gun, make a one-time preparation. When facing the enemy, glare at each other.
This will make the enemy shudder, and in turn will encourage the enemy's arrogance. Therefore, when "preparing to use the gun", you must make correct and powerful movements, be full of energy, and have a strong momentum. When raising the gun, the gun face is slightly to the left, and the gun is
The tip is about the same height as the throat, and in line with the left eye, with both eyes looking at the enemy."
"The essentials of preparing to use the gun can be summarized as: "Press and send, two at the same time, normally high." Press and send means sending the gun out with the pressure of the tiger's mouth and the force of the four fingers; two at the same time, it means turning and kicking.
When you hear the command "Put down the gun", use the sole of your right foot as the axis, turn half of your body to the left, and retract it at the same time.
The left foot and left hand quickly handed the gun to the right hand, and stood at attention holding the gun..."
Pang Gang didn't know the ancient marksmanship, and no one in Wanghai Fort was a true expert in using guns. Pang Gang had to try his best to recall the stabbing skills that his old soldier taught him when he was bored, and put them into practice.
I taught these soldiers one by one, but the effect seems to be pretty good!
"Raise the gun!"
"kill."
"Raise the knife!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"You all should remember this, there are bandits in front of you, and there are Manchu and Qing Tatars in front of you. You don't need to use tricks or show off. You just need to stab, and stab hard, and stab quickly. You can stab
Be faster than them, stab harder than them, and you will survive! The battlefield is a place where the competition is fierce. Those bandits and Tatars will not reason with you. There is only one way to survive, and that is to kill all the enemies in front of you.
Kill!"
Pang Gang walked back and forth in the queue with a dark face. If he saw anyone not doing well, he would immediately hit him with a stick without mercy. Even Da Zhuang and Wang Zhi, the old men who had been with him for the longest time, were no exception. "Ci
The saying "Don't lead troops" is an iron rule of leading troops that has been passed down from ancient times.
Pang Gang is famous for his disapproval of his relatives when it comes to training. Anyone who can't stand it can speak up or quit, but there is only one condition, and that is that from now on, you are no longer a member of Wanghai Fort, and you will not be treated like Wanghai Fort.
My family can no longer enjoy it.
This is the most life-threatening thing. What are these military tigers trying to do when they enter Wanghai Fort? Aren’t they able to have enough food and clothing? Now you can enjoy all this in Wanghai Fort, and the autumn harvest is about to come. If it’s because of
Unable to endure the hardship and driven back in despair, not only did the farmland they were about to receive fly away, but the whole family had to go to the northwest. Therefore, no matter how hard it was, none of the selected soldiers wanted to quit.
In addition to the passwords, Pang Gang also invited an old man from the army to listen to the orders of drums and flags, because in the future they are likely to fight together with other Ming troops. This kind of training is
necessary.
However, Pang Gang encountered difficulties during the formation training of the pikemen. At this time, Pang Gang was very poor. He did not have anyone with experience in leading troops. There were plum blossom formations, three talents formations, and mandarin duck formations in the Ming Dynasty army.
He didn't know how to do any of them. He had no choice but to learn from the Macedonian phalanx he had seen before to train the formation.
The essence and advantage of the Macedonian phalanx tactics is that all soldiers work together and advance together, and those who escape before the battle will be severely punished. This is consistent with China's traditional emphasis on "In a majestic formation, thousands of people line up, and the brave will not be allowed to go first, and the cowardly will not be allowed to go first."
It is consistent with the saying that "the first shall not be left behind".
Of course, the Macedonian Phalanx also has its weaknesses, that is, their flanks are very weak. Pang Gang naturally knows this, but he will find a way to overcome it later. He now chooses the Macedonian Phalanx method to train his soldiers because he wants to train
The coordination and discipline of the soldiers are particularly important on the battlefield, as long as the commander gives the order, even if it means death, you will die on the way forward. This is particularly important.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
The drums for gathering troops sounded, and the soldiers who heard the order quickly lined up in long rows, holding spears in their hands. There were sixty people in one row, and two hundred and forty people were divided into four rows, each row
People stood close to each other and walked forward in unison listening to the sound of drums. At the last row of the queue were the sword and shield bearers.
After several months of training and countless lessons with sticks, the soldiers have developed a conditioned reflex for drum sounds and passwords, because they know that if one person makes a mistake, the whole team will be punished. As pikemen, they can only unite to
Use your maximum power.
"Raise the gun!"
"Wow..." A forest of spears was raised.
"go ahead!"
"Dong dong dong..."
The drums sounded, and the soldiers moved forward according to the rhythm of the drums. Although there were only more than two hundred people, it felt as heavy as a big mountain!
"As long as we drag this team out to see blood once, it will be a good soldier!" Looking at the team advancing neatly, Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself, "I have tolerated those traitor soldiers in Wangjiatun for a long time.
, it won’t be long before it’s time to deal with them.”
