On the second day, just after dawn, drums sounded one after another in the military camp.
The sound of the drum was thunderous, loud and rhythmic, waking up the sleeping soldiers, and some even jumped out of their quilts.
"Get up! Get up quickly!"
Zhao Tuo first patted Shejian nearby, then shouted loudly, urging everyone to get up quickly.
Shema reacted the fastest, jumped up, and kicked the black buttocks wrapped in a rice dumpling next to him.
Black Butt screamed, and the startled Xiao Bai also screamed.
There was a lot of excitement in the camp. Fortunately, Zhao Tuo had gained quite a lot of prestige during this period. Zhu and Xiqigu had also served on the battlefield and were sensitive to the sound of drums, so they helped Zhao Tuo call people.
Soon everyone in Gengshi put on their armor and stood in a row outside the camp with weapons in hand.
The first drum is to organize the troops, the second drum is to train the soldiers, the third drum is to attract food, the fourth drum is to strictly control the situation, and the fifth drum is enough. When the drums sound harmonious, then raise the flag.
These were the words Lu Bai told the two village chiefs and chiefs again and again yesterday, and Zhao Tuo kept them firmly in mind.
But unfortunately, although there were veterans like Zhu among these soldiers who had been on the battlefield, most of them were new soldiers who had not been trained by the Golden Drum. For a time, they were in chaos, and the commanders were everywhere, scolding them for a long time.
General Lu Bai learned from yesterday's experience, and instead of issuing any complicated orders, he just yelled at the hundred men under his command to put on their armor and stand in front of the tent. The process was much faster than that of other hundred men.
He inspected all the way and saw that the Gengshi people were already dressed and standing in front of the camp. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he had made a very wise decision in promoting Zhao Tuo to a senior position.
You must know that although General Lu Bai is currently serving as a hundred generals, it is because the elite troops have long been recruited into the general's army. There is a lack of middle- and lower-level military officials in the new barracks, so he will be taller among the short ones.
He was appointed as a hundred generals.
Lu Baijiang was originally just a village commander, but he was suddenly promoted to a hundred generals in the new barracks. He could only manage fifty people, but suddenly he had to manage a hundred people. The doubled number of people made it very difficult for this big boss to manage.
Not only him, this situation is very common in recruit camps.
The original camp commander became a hundred generals, Shi Chang became a camp commander, and small soldiers like Zhu became Shi Chang. In addition, the recruitment was sudden and there was a lack of sufficient training time and running-in. This is also the reason why the new soldier battalion was in chaos when the situation happened.
.
But fortunately, today's gathering was no more sudden than the general's inspection of the camp yesterday, and there was enough time for these lower-level military officials to organize themselves.
Soon, a line of soldiers entered the school grounds in a somewhat orderly manner under the command of military officials at all levels.
When General Li Xin entered the camp, although the entire recruit camp was not yet in full military appearance, it was at least lined up on the campus, making Li Xin slightly nod.
It doesn't look bad after all.
Next, there is military training.
Li Xin's military training methods are not as radical as his character, but appear to be quite satisfactory.
The first thing is to start with the practice queue.
Travelers in some novels of later generations often have a certain sense of superiority, believing that by traveling back to ancient times, they can train a modern and powerful army by relying on basic operations such as standing in a military posture, walking in a queue, moving forward, backward, turning left and right, and crush the ancients.
.
It is undeniable that many armies in ancient times, especially the peasant armies, were poorly disciplined and would only charge in a swarm during battles, like bandits and bandits, with no formation at all.
But in a real regular army, formation training is only the most basic thing, and there are many various operations. Many of the military training techniques of later generations are inherited from the ancestors.
For example, King Wu of Zhou once said in his oath to defeat Zhou, "Calling Ergo, Bilgan, and Liling Erzhao." This is a very strict queue requirement.
Later, in the "Sima Law", "set up the troops, determine the ranks, and be vertical and horizontal."
Sun Wuzi was also training female soldiers for the King of Wu. After killing two beauties, all the women knelt up and down in a proper manner and did not dare to make a sound.
Therefore, Li Xin's first move in training was to require each battalion to practice formation formation.
Let each team member separate and continue to practice various basics such as moving forward, retreating, stopping, standing up, and squatting.
After practicing these, of course there are more difficult left and right turns.
In later generations, there are still many people who can't tell the difference between left and right turns, let alone the rough and scumbags at the end of the Warring States Period. Once they enter the left-right turn phase, even if many people have already trained some basics in the military service, they really can't distinguish between left and right turns.
At this point I was still feeling dizzy.
Fortunately, the training does not require the soldiers to be proficient in left and right. They only need to look at the small flag held by the commander in front and follow the commander. In wartime, the soldiers only need to follow the commander.
.
In this case, the commander is required to have a high level of discernment. Unfortunately, many new commanders are unable to do this, and even they themselves cannot distinguish left from right.
It was clear that they were turning left, but You Shechang led his soldiers to charge to the right. He happened to collide with Shi Wu from another team who was supposed to turn right but charged to the left.
The sounds of whipping and scolding kept coming.
Seeing the misfortune of the chief minister next to him being beaten ten times on the spot, Zhu Xin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and said happily: "Fortunately, Tuo became the chief minister. If it were me...hiss..."
Just as Zhu said, Zhao Tuo held a small flag and led nine people behind him. He turned left and right according to the order very quickly. He never made any mistakes. Not to mention the commander of the camp Liang Guang, even General Lu Bai made many mistakes.
Come to praise Zhao Tuo.
"It's okay to turn left and right. Fortunately, there's no requirement from above not to use the same hands and feet."
Zhao Tuo was calm on the face, but he was very happy in his heart. You must know that his two brothers, the elder and the younger brothers in Gengsili, Shitou, and even the black buttocks walk with a straight crutch. If you want to correct them in a short time, that is the real thing.
Difficulties.
With the training day after day, the new recruits in the entire military camp are also growing.
If even a hundred people have learned well, they can be equal to a hundred people. If a hundred people have learned well, they can be equal to a thousand people...
The army gradually began to get orders in order, and there was a hint of feeling.
After a period of time, when the formation was almost complete, they began to practice identifying flags and golden drums.
As the saying goes, "Advance by beating the drums, move forward by lowering the flag, and retreat by beating the gold. Follow them to the left, follow them to the right, and sit down while beating the gold and drums."
As the most important means of transmitting information on the battlefield, the golden drum is something that every commander and corps commander must master.
What makes Zhao Tuo dizzy is that the sound of the golden drum is not simply divided into two types, but has many tricks.
Such as the sound of drums.
If you take a step and hit the drum once, it is called Bu Gu, which requires a slow and neat pace.
If you take ten steps and beat the drum once, it is called Qigugu, which means to move forward quickly.
If the drum beats continuously and continuously, it is called 骛(wù) drum, and it is time to start running and charging.
Therefore, when you go to the battlefield, you must keep your eyes open and your ears pricked up. While looking at the direction of the flag, listen to every drum sound, and follow the rhythm of the drums. If you do something wrong, it will disrupt the order of the army.
, you will be punished, and in severe cases, you may even be shown your head in public.
"This is why I want to join the army."
Zhao Tuo's eyes were shining. He gave up the opportunity to enter the school in Xianyang and insisted on coming to the battlefield to fight. In addition to wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Six Kingdoms and improve his title, another reason was that he wanted to learn real battlefield warfare.
technique.
What you read on paper is shallow, but you know you have to do it in earnest.
No matter how many military books you read, you can't learn as much as going to a real military camp or battlefield.
Zhao Tuo didn't want to become Zhao Kuo when he faced off against others in the future.
He wants to become a true battlefield warrior.
For the Golden Drum, please refer to "Wei Liao Zi: Order of Soldiers" and "Wei Liao Zi: Military Training Part 1". This chapter mainly shows the learning and growth of the protagonist. Without a solid foundation, it is difficult to become a real general. Without basic training, new soldiers will
