Chapter 251 The Great Event of the Soldier's Country
Su Ren had been living in the military camp. After arranging all the things, he became idle. Early in the morning, he walked around the military camp with square steps. When he saw the lively training scene in the school military field, Su Ren smiled with satisfaction.
These were all done according to the method he used to train the bandit guards. Instead of practicing the changes in military formations of the Han Dynasty soldiers, he was always practicing walking.
When Li Cheng saw Su Ren, he quickly ran over and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Colonel, is your method of training troops really feasible? If you don't practice military formations, you will suffer a lot in war!"
Su Ren smiled: "Then first tell me what are the benefits of the military formation?"
"The advantage of the military formation is that every soldier knows his position during the war, so that there will be no confusion. When the troops at the front, rear, left and right give orders, they can use their fingers like arms. Only in this way can orders and prohibitions be followed, everyone obeys his orders, and bravely kills the enemy.
!" Li Cheng replied without hesitation.
"Excellent!" Su Ren nodded: "But let me ask you, how many times in real battles are the formations completed before the two sides start to attack? How many times are there sudden encounters? I know the military formations you are talking about, only in
Only the vast plain terrain can be deployed, so even if there are more than a thousand of us, who will challenge us if we form a battle array?"
"This..." Li Cheng shook his head: "My subordinates don't know that although our Shu County is a border county, there have been no large-scale battles. They are basically small fights. They often meet in a hurry and then fight.
They are just bandits, bandits and the like, even the Qiang or Yelang troops will not be too many."
"Hahaha, that's right. Let me tell you, don't say we are just fighting in a small way. Even a battle involving tens of thousands of people is rarely a decisive battle in a face-to-face battle. Fighting is an accidental thing, suddenly rushed.
Therefore, it is not practical to use military formations!" Su Ren pointed at the county soldiers who were training their paces: "My training seems meaningless at all, but it is very meaningful. Look at those people,
They move in unison and become flexible. With one order, everyone has no hesitation and coordinates with each other. Only by allowing the soldiers to react instinctively can they move like an arm!"
"Practice the steps just to make them obey orders, and the company formation is to let them cooperate with each other. Even in formation, they will be much faster than those soldiers who only practice military formation, because they already know in their bones where they should be and where they should stand.
Who is next to you, how should you synchronize with the people nearby? More than a thousand people are like one person, aren't these soldiers elite?"
Li Cheng's eyes widened so much. Following Su Ren's explanation, when he looked at the soldiers, he suddenly saw no longer an individual, but a team. The groups all turned into one person.
There is no obstacle in between, whether moving forward, backward, left or right, even the eyes are exactly the same.
"Thank you Captain for your advice, my subordinates know it!"
Su Ren patted Li Cheng on the shoulder: "You must study the book I gave you carefully. The training of soldiers is a great subject. If you understand it thoroughly, you will become a master!"
"No! After my subordinates go back, they must carefully read the captain's "Soldier Drill Code"!"
Looking at Li Cheng's resolute eyes, Su Ren became inexplicably proud. He showed off a little bit of what he learned from military training. If the military academy instructors in later generations knew about it, they would be angry to death. While Li Cheng was still surprised,
, Su Ren quickly slipped away. With Li Cheng’s understanding, if he continued to ask questions, Su Ren could not guarantee that he could still justify his explanation. His "Infantry Drill Code" plagiarized the "Infantry Drill Code" of later generations, and it was only superficial, and many of the essences were on his own.
I don’t even know how to teach others.
Gou Tianming and Huo Jin were also sweating profusely and sat on either side of Su Ren. Li Cheng needed an explanation, but Su Ren didn't bother to say anything to these two people, let alone ask. In the hearts of these two people, Su Ren was helpless.
What he said is absolutely correct, otherwise Su Ren would not have allowed just the two of them to join the county army.
"Brother, do you want to go out for a walk sometime? I have been in the camp for more than a month and I have forgotten what Chengdu is like!" Hawking moved his body and did two chest-expanding movements.
Snapping sound.
Gou Tianming also looked excited: "Yes! Sir, no, Captain, you have already said that you should balance work with rest, but you practice irritability like this every day!"
"Want to go out?"
The two nodded quickly.
Su Ren thought for a while: "Okay! But..."
"Okay!" Hawking cheered, but he couldn't hear more than two words, and he immediately lowered his face: "But once it comes out and it's designated as bad, it seems that there is no chance again!"
"Hehehe, listen to what I have to say. In ten days, I am going to have a competition. You two will each lead an army. Whoever does well will have a chance to go out. This is fair and reasonable. Whether you can go out is up to you.
Don't tell me who I prefer!"
"Compared to what?" Gou Tianming asked quickly: "Is it a battle or a military posture?"
"Compare the pace and formation!" Su Ren said: "At that time, I will invite the prefect and the captain to come and take a look at the results of our training for more than a month, and then decide who can go out!"
"Okay, it's a deal, do you dare, Gou?" Hawking was full of confidence and looked at Gou Tianming provocatively.
"Why don't you dare? Let's compete!" Gou Tianming showed no sign of weakness and stretched out his palm to give Hawking a high-five.
With Su Ren's promise, Huo Jin and Gou Tianming ran to their respective teams without hesitation, announced the good news to everyone, and at the same time stepped up their training to wait for the day of the competition.
Li Cheng had been standing behind Su Ren, listening to Su Ren's arrangements for the two of them. As soon as Huo Jin and Gou Tianming left, he asked: "Captain, we are all soldiers of the same county. This competition is not to allow everyone to have a gap."
?"
"You only know one but not the other!" Su Ren pulled Li Cheng to sit next to him: "What are county soldiers and what are the northern and southern armies? Isn't it because of the strength of their combat effectiveness? Since we are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, why?
Do you still want to be divided like this? Since there are good and bad among the soldiers of the imperial court, and the big is judged by the small, there must be good and bad among us county soldiers. The purpose of the competition is to expose them all and give a warning to those who are just a little bit behind.
Awake."
"Wouldn't it mean that the good Yu is like the bad Yu Cha, so that they have no chance to become soldiers?"
"That's why there are rewards. This military training is actually the same as doing business. Only driven by profit will they give it a go. The same goes for war, but it's just a little crueler. The winner's reward is survival!"
Li Cheng had never thought that the war could be explained in this way, and was speechless. The amount of information Su Ren gave him that day was too much, and he had to digest it slowly. Li Cheng had a family in Chengdu, and he wanted to follow Su Ren.
They lived together in the barracks and stopped talking about it after talking to Su Ren. Su Ren didn't explain it to anyone, and only he and Li Cheng knew the reason.
On the way home from the barracks, all Li Cheng could think about was his conversation with Su Ren. The words sounded ordinary, there was nothing obscure, and there were no arrogant words. Ordinary words could no longer be ordinary.
The combination is a bit shocking. War is about logistics, soldiers need victory to nourish them, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, etc. Li Cheng's head hurts thinking about it.
Li Cheng also studied before coming to Shu County, so he naturally knew the art of war, Sun Tzu, Sun Wu, and the Grand Duke. He also studied the art of war of Liuhou. He became a commander not only because of his flattery, but more because of his ability.
.Li Cheng is not a mediocre person, but a hard-working person. Among the original county soldiers, Li Cheng's men can be said to be the soul of the Chengdu county soldiers, so he can become Sima.
It was still my study room, the same chair from more than a month ago, with a new tea set in front of me. I reached out and poured myself a cup of tea from the teapot, holding it in my hand without feeling it was hot at all. I just sat there with a look on my face.
Looking at the door quietly.
The two servants thought something had happened again and did not dare to come in. The cup of tea in their hands was cold, and Li Cheng finally had a smile on his face: "Hehehe, come here, come here!"
The servant hurried over and stood at the door tremblingly.
"Go and ask for a banquet at Cuixiang Tower. The three of us will not return until we get drunk today!"
"Owner!"
"Go quickly! Go!"
"No!" the two servants agreed and ran out in a hurry.
"Hahaha..." Hearty laughter came from the small courtyard. Li Cheng raised his neck and poured the cup of tea into his stomach: "Okay! Once I believe you, I want to see if your soldiers are the best in the world."
Soldiers!"
Ten days passed quickly. On the military field of the Chengdu Barracks, groups of soldiers stood neatly. They did not have uniforms or armor, and they just stood there. Quietly and silently.
They stood with their heads held high, solemnity and perseverance appearing on their faces. No one would regard these people as former bandits, let alone a group of rabble.
Three days ago, news about the activities in the county barracks spread in Chengdu. Early in the morning, many people watched the excitement outside the barracks. If they couldn't squeeze in, they climbed into the trees. The county barracks has always been a mysterious place. Today, Shu County
With all the officials gathered here, it was natural to see the excitement. The discerning ones were naturally at the back, wanting to see what the county barracks were doing.
On the general stage, Wen Dang sat on a chair with a smile, surrounded by officials from the Prefecture. They all wanted to see what Su Ren was up to. It had only been just over a month, could he, Su Ren, be able to train him?
Send out an elite army?
Tang Meng was a knowledgeable man. He glanced at the audience, took a breath, turned to Su Ren and said, "Su's soldiers are really different!"
"Haha! These people are originally bandits, and with a little training they can become elite soldiers. It's not surprising."
Tang Meng shook his head: "It's different. It's different from the previous county soldiers. Even if the Northern and Southern armies are standing here, it's just like this, right?"
"The captain is so complimentary. How can our county soldiers compare with the Northern and Southern armies?"
Tang Meng stopped talking, looked at Su Ren meaningfully, and suddenly smiled at Su Ren. Su Ren also smiled slightly in return.
Dong Zhongshu was also invited as a guest. Hearing the conversation between Tang Meng and Su Ren, his brows furrowed even more tightly. (To be continued)
