Late Tang

Li Jing's first queue parade was very successful, although this time the parade actually didn't show much.But when Li Jing stood on the school field, shouting orders one by one in a loud voice, and then a hundred soldiers from the two teams of the first capital on the left skillfully displayed various movements in front of everyone, let those who came to watch The person was a little surprised.

Turn left, turn right, turn backward, every turn is neat and uniform, which is pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the standard formation movements, Li Jing also added tactical movement drills with spears, bow and arrow shooting drills, group platoons with horizontal knives, and Peng arrays in the parade.

Before and after, Zuo Yidu's parade time added up to only one hour.There is not much content on display, but laymen can watch the excitement, and experts can watch the way.Many recruits in the Unity Battalion and officers with little military experience thought that Zuo Yi made it very fancy and lively, and didn't see the use of these things.They only saw that when the left one knew how to practice, and during the bow and arrow shooting drill, the hit rate was surprisingly low, but the hit rate was about [-]%.When he saw Zuo Yidu's spear formation drill, he was not surprised.

Song Wen, Marquis of Duyu, Song Xi, Ten General of Wendeng Camp, Song Xi, the envoy of Longshan Camp, the envoy of Shouzhuo of Dongmu Shouzhuo, the envoy of Penglai Navy, the envoy of Dengzhou Binglao City, etc., can come to watch the parade. All the military commanders were surprised when they watched Zuo Yidu's parade.

These officers are all commanding generals, with at least 1000 men under their command.As for the Dengzhou Unity Army, they naturally understand that the biggest role of calling such a force is to use it as a supplementary battalion and auxiliary battalion.Because the Dengzhou camp is full of newly recruited farmers, not even a single experienced veteran.Even a group of officers above rank, few of them have ever fought with real swords and guns.With such a team, at most they would help defend the city, transport food and so on, and if they really went to the battlefield, they would die.

But after watching Zuo Yidu's parade, they had some strange feelings.

They could still tell at a glance that this soldier was still that recruit, but it was different from the other united soldiers they saw along the way.

They stood there like rows of javelins, so neat and solemn.Although there is still a little childishness on his face, he has a bit of a soldier's temperament.And when they were practicing, they were strict and serious.Although everyone didn't agree much with this going around.

But they know very well that if soldiers like the United Soldier fight against the enemy, they want to survive.The only thing they can rely on is not the bravery of these united soldiers, no matter how good these people are with guns, how beautifully they dance with swords, and no matter how well their arrows are shot with perfect accuracy.These cannot play a decisive role when the two armies collide head-on.

When the two armies meet, the most important thing is the momentum and determination.Only if you dare to fight can you have the possibility of victory.

It is not enough to have momentum and determination, the most important thing is the army formation.The united soldiers are just a group of auxiliary soldiers. Although they are equipped with knives, guns, bows and arrows, they have no heavy crossbow catapults, no cavalry, and even the equipment of arrows is limited.They lack experience and lack the ferocity of persistent fighting.Therefore, facing the enemy, the biggest reliance is actually the army formation, which is formed as a whole to face the enemy.Once the formation is broken, a group of recruits without battlefield experience will be reduced to the enemy's dolls and will be slaughtered to their heart's content.

Zuo Yidu didn't have that kind of tough and brave soldiers, but Zuo Yidu's formation did look good.The military formation is quite complicated.Even for a veteran who has led troops for many years, leading a group of veterans, it is very difficult for the soldiers to deploy and adjust various formations on the battlefield.

Because the more people there are, the more complicated the formation is, and on the battlefield, different formations must be used in different situations.Therefore, every military formation on the battlefield is actually the result of countless drills in normal times.Even only one army formation was used on the battlefield, but dozens of army formations may be trained at ordinary times.

A battle-hardened army was in a dilemma, but Zuo Yidu's array exercise made these officers see another possibility.

Although the display in front of us can only be called an array rather than an army array, the army array is composed of various arrays.It can be said that the array is the core of the military formation, and the general army directly drills the military formation, until one kind of training is proficient.But Zuo Yidu started training from the basic array, as you can imagine.As long as Li Jing is given time, in time, if Zuo Yi can maintain the current state, then they can train the formation better, and then start to practice various military formations.At that time, one can understand a hundred, one method can be understood, and a hundred methods can be understood.

In the stands, Song Wen, Marquis of Duyu, turned his head and said softly to Song Xi, the tenth general of the Wendeng camp: "It's only been half a month, and it's really rare for Li Jing to train this Zuoyi well. "

Song Xi was also transferred from Qingzhou, and like Song Wen, he was a member of the Jiedu envoy Song Wei's tribe.He smiled and said: "As far as I know, this Li Jing's training method is very different from the usual method. He doesn't let recruits practice swords, guns, spears, bows and arrows, but only makes his subordinates run, stand, and walk in formation. The next thing is Quite a few people said that he was just trying to please the public, saying that such a team would be like silver bullets after training, which is not useful.”

Song Wen smiled: "On the battlefield, what's the use of being able to fight alone? Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention it's just a group of farmers, you can train them to be one against ten, left punching The right kill is unstoppable or something? No matter how much you can fight, a row of spears pokes over, and it becomes a sieve. On the battle formation, the more people there are, the more you have to rely on the battle formation. Can you fight many with few, or even ten with one? It's because the bandits are so chaotic and have no formations."

"Don't look at the Zuoyi trained by Li Jing. They are not in good shape now, but in fact this kid is really smart. He has grasped the fundamentals. In terms of individual ability, the group of recruits in Zuoyidu are not bad. You didn't Seeing the shooting practice before, they fired ten arrows in a row with a one-stone bow, but they were not flushed or out of breath? Many people only stared at the hit, but they didn't see that the strength of this group of recruits was not weaker than the archer battalion in Guanjianzhong Veteran."

"This group of recruits has a good foundation. Most of them have practiced martial arts. Training their swordsmanship and archery skills is just icing on the cake. But Li Jing went straight to the formation for training, which shows that he still wants to train in the army formation. And the army formation is the embodiment of harmony. The way to bring out the true abilities of soldiers and horses. This is a talent, and he is also a student of Cui Yunqing and Yu Yu." Speaking of the latter, Song Wen looked at Li Jing with complicated eyes.

"Does Marquis Yu want to announce the award for Li Jing now?"

"That's right, and there will be a lot of rewards!" Song Wen said softly, then got up and walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "My colleagues, you brothers Paozhe, the drill just now was very good, and this official also took a big bite." Surprised. When Coach Li proposed this training plan, I was still a little hesitant, but when I saw it today, it exceeded my expectations. But in half a month, the hundred recruits in Zuo Yidu have changed their old appearance. The momentum has increased greatly. This is all thanks to Coach Li, and I want to honor you."

Li Jing hastily said: "Your Excellency, it's absurd, the post is just a meager contribution, everything depends on the cultivation of the upper peak and the concerted efforts of all colleagues and the lower robes."

"You don't have to be too self-effacing, I and other officials can see everything in my eyes. I just received the official document from Marshal Jie, which is the reward for General Wang and Coach Li's previous achievements in killing bandits. . Now take this opportunity and declare it here."

Hearing that the long-awaited promotion finally came down, Li Jing was very excited.He turned his head to look at Wang Zhong and Zhang Hong, and saw that both of them had wild eyes.He raised his head and searched for Xiao Shitou and the others in the queue below, seeing that they were also very excited when they heard the news. Originally, Li Jing was worried that they would feel a little awkward because of their military exploits.But at this moment, there was nothing unusual on their faces other than happiness, so he was relieved.

When he looked back, he happened to meet Feng Liang's gaze.Feng Liang was punished a few days ago, and has been asking for leave since then.Today, because it was a rehearsal, he finally showed up when he knew that the Shangguan was here.At this moment, the two looked at each other, Feng Liang seemed to have forgotten his dissatisfaction with Li Jing a few days ago, and smiled at Li Jing, his eyes full of anticipation.

The official document for the reward was very long, and it was obviously written by an old clerk, with four parallels and six parallels.Li Jing pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing anything about himself.

It took Song Wen almost a cup of tea to finish reading. Li Jing felt like a storm was blowing through his mind, making him feel erratic.

The rewards and rewards were very generous. He was promoted, and he finally became a dignified official of the Tang Dynasty from a humble man.
