The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 33
Many military training methods of later generations, in fact, may not be applicable to the current situation.

Therefore, Chen Wang's military training methods are now completely based on Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training".

Strength is the first step in military training. Marching and fighting requires strength. Hand strength, foot strength, and body strength all need to be trained, which is also the foundation of the foundation.

These recruits turned out to be farmers, and their physiques were actually quite strong, good at stamina, but most of them became thinner because of hunger.

However, during this period of time, the Zhizhou of Binzhou heard that the bandits were coming again, and sent a lot of meat and rice into the barracks, and each division got a lot.

Chen Wang didn't hide his secrets, and added all his meat and rice to the daily meals of ordinary soldiers. During this time, the soldiers of the entire division were full of greasy food.

In seven days, most of the recruits' faces had lost a lot of color, and their physiques gradually recovered.

The supplementary second round of training is strength training.

For long-distance running training, each person can run for one mile without panting, and the queue is not seriously dispersed as qualified, which is used to practice foot strength.

During normal training, wear armor and hold ordnance to practice physical strength and hand strength.

But before training strength, there are two most important things to teach.

One is the loading and firing of the blunderbuss, and the other is the use and formation of long spears.

The training of the blunderbuss soldiers is very difficult. There are only 120 blunderbusses dispatched, and all of them are sent out. Now there are [-] blunderbusses in each round, and there is no spare.

Bird guns have a service life. A well-made bird gun can be used for a long time, and can even be fired with hundreds of rounds.

Chen Wang looked at the blunderbuss carried on the shoulders of the soldiers below. He doubted whether these blunderbusses made by the Ministry of Industry could hold a hundred rounds.

Although it was exchanged for a batch of better bird guns with silver, it was still unavoidable when it was time to explode. No one with the bird guns from the Ministry of Industry could guarantee whether the next firing would explode.

That is to say, these recruits dared to use these bird guns because they didn't know anything. Most of the veterans in the battalion kept away from the bird guns.

They haven't tested it, and Chen Wang doesn't know the service life of these bird guns, so the live ammunition training must not be too much.

There are more than a dozen shots a day, not to mention the service life of the bird gun, but the problem of gunpowder is difficult to solve.

There wasn't much gunpowder that followed the blunderbuss. Although the lead was enough, it was useless without gunpowder.

"Hu Zhili."

Chen Wang raised the command flag in his hand, looked at Hu Zhili who was standing under the low platform and said loudly.

"Subordinates are here!"

Hu Zhili stepped forward and half knelt on the ground, bowing his head in response to orders.

Although the two are cousins, after gathering troops in the army, they are only divided into superiors and superiors, not relatives.

"You lead the bird gun soldiers in the three rounds to the new shooting range east of the school grounds, and teach them how to use the bird gun, three-stage burst shooting."

The command flag in Chen Wang's hand was taken over by the messenger on the low platform.

"Follow the order!"

Hu Zhili raised his hands, took the command flag from the messenger who stepped down from the low platform, and replied loudly.

After receiving the military order, Hu Zhili did not neglect. He held the order flag and lit 120 bird gun soldiers with bird guns on their shoulders and left the queue.

The results of the seven-day training were good. After the 120 blunderbuss soldiers who were placed at the end of the queue were ordered out of the queue, they quickly turned into a march. There were six people in a row, divided into [-] rows, and they followed Hu Zhiliwang The range to the east is advancing.

The shooting range to the east is a newly built training range. It is said to be newly built, but in fact it is just a dozen pieces of wooden targets. It took a total of half an hour to build a simple shooting range in the city.

Limited to the service life of the blunderbuss and the amount of gunpowder stored, Chen Wang set the number of ammunition for the blunderbuss team to fire three rounds per day, and the rest of the time he only practiced movements without using gunpowder to shoot.

At this stage, there is no way to do this. There is a huge gap between the live ammunition and the non-live ammunition shot by the bird gun.

But now he doesn't have much autonomy, everything is like dancing in a cage.

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flickered.

It is far from enough to have the status of the general manager, even the general manager Qian and the Chinese army are not enough.

If you want to really flex your muscles and gain a certain degree of autonomy, you must at least become a guerrilla.

Only by becoming a guerrilla can you have the authority to lead a camp alone. If you don’t lead a camp alone, you will always receive constraints from all sides.

As the blunderbuss team left, Chen Wang also withdrew his gaze, and refocused his gaze on the soldiers standing in the school field.

Chen Wang did not continue to issue orders, but walked slowly down the low platform and walked towards the center of the school grounds.

Tang Shiping followed Chen Wang and looked at the central area, while Hu Zhiyi and Chen Gong commanded the soldiers to separate the roads, and then formed a circle around the central area of ​​the school grounds.

In the very center of the school field, twelve veterans with wooden guns on their shoulders stood in an array. They stood in two rows of six. white cloth.

There was also a straw man standing in front of them.

Chen Wang walked all the way to about six steps in front of the straw man before stopping.

At this time, Chen Gong also stepped forward, and handed a standard infantry spear about three feet long to Chen Wang's hand.

Taking the spear, Chen Wang felt his hand sink slightly.

The wooden handle is slightly rough. This is a new gun.

The long spear, which was one foot and three feet long, was held in his hand, or at the back end, and it took a lot of effort to pick it up.

For those who have never used a spear, it is undoubtedly difficult to use this kind of long spear to use its full power. It is even difficult to stab the enemy, and they do not know how to use force.

Chen Wang stood in the center of the circle, looking around at the soldiers surrounding him.

The soldiers in the first few rows all sat down, only the soldiers in the last two rows stood staggered, forming a rather large hollow circle.

"Holding a long gun requires the waist and horse to be one. Not only the hands are used to exert strength, but the waist, legs, and body all need to exert strength."

Chen Wang's eyes gradually became sharper, his body turned slightly, and his spear pointed forward.

"Look, I'll only practice once."

All the soldiers around were holding their breath, even the twelve old soldiers in the field were the same.

"Look at the tip of the gun."

"Keep your feet on the ground, kick the ground first, then rotate your waist, move your hands forward, and exert force at the same time."

Chen Wang decomposed the movements step by step, and finally took a step forward, focusing on the straw man in front of him.

"When exerting strength, you can drink loudly to strengthen your momentum and increase your strength."

Chen Wang shouted loudly, and thrust out the spear in his hand.

"kill!"

Before everyone could react, the spear in Chen Wang's hand had already stabbed the straw man not far in front of him.

The sharp spear point pierced the straw man's chest in an instant, and the cold spear point was reflected in the eyes of everyone under the sunlight.

Everyone on the school field was terrified in their hearts. If the gun was aimed at them, they would definitely not be able to dodge.

"When pulling out the spear, you can take a deep breath in order to exert force."

"On the battlefield, the weapons in your hands are the foundation of your survival."

Chen Wang pulled out the spear that had pierced the straw man's chest, and turned around again.

"On the battlefield, there are only two things you can rely on."

Chen Wang held the spear on his shoulder and said in a solemn voice.

"One is the weapons in your own hands."
