"Kill" the soldiers stabbed the long stick in their hands forward with force, and at the same time, neat shouts came.

Ten days ago, the long-spike infantry "Tiger Gun Camp", "Bear Gun Camp", "Wind Cavalry Camp", and the sword and shield infantry "Wolf Teeth Camp" were formed, and the soldiers were officially put into intense training. I let the training of cavalry and sword and shield infantry to Lin Bao and Liao Hua to do it themselves, which was exactly the strength of their two men. The other team of archers could only be given to a veteran from a hunter for training until the injured Xu Shang returned. What I couldn't worry about most were the two battalions of spear infantry commanders, because if they wanted to go with Cao Cao's large number of cavalry units in the future,

Especially for the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", one of the most elite heavy armored cavalry units in the Three Kingdoms era, the main thing is to rely on this spearmen. In fact, the best way to fight against heavy armored cavalry is to equip the heavy armored cavalry yourself. But our army is really unable to form heavy armored cavalry, so we can only settle for the second best and form an elite spearmen so that we can effectively restrain the group charge of the heavy cavalry. Therefore, I have been personally involved in the training of spearmen in the school for the past few days. Since the standard spear I requested has not been built yet, I can only use a long stick instead.

The assassination technique training of spear soldiers is actually very simple. You only need to push the gun and stab it forward. I am not worried about this. The other three issues I am more worried about: the strength of soldiers, coordinated combat and psychological quality.

As an elite spearman, strength is essential, especially strong arm strength. Just imagine that when facing the charge of heavy cavalry, if the spearman does not have enough arm strength, it would be good if he could not be knocked away. Therefore, when choosing spearman, he was the first choice to do his best. It can be said that except for the 900 light cavalry and 200 bowmen, the strongest soldiers in the army were selected into the two battalions commanders of spearmen. But in my eyes, the strength of these soldiers, especially the arm strength, is not

Enough. To solve this problem, in addition to ensuring that the soldiers have enough food, they can only rely on strengthening their strength training. After thinking about it, I finally ordered people to set up nearly 200 wooden "single bars" on the school outside the city, requiring soldiers to exercise "pull ups" every day. At first, each person had to do 20 times a day. Now it has been increased to 30 times a day, and finally planned to stabilize at 50 times a day. The soldiers of the two battalions complained at first, but after eight or nine days, they have gradually adapted and their arm strength has also been strengthened.

Coordinated combat is also very important for infantry, and this is especially true for the sprites, which have outstanding advantages and disadvantages. Since the gun body is ten feet long, it can block the enemy's actions at a long distance. However, the disadvantage is also because of the length of the gun body. Once the enemy invades close to it, the sprites will have almost no attack ability and can only abandon the gun or wait for death. Therefore, if the sprites fight on their own during the battle, it is very dangerous, and they can only rely on coordinated combat to make up for this defect. I ordered the soldiers to use Yixi as a combat unit, attack and defend together.

When attacking, the attacking arrow formation is expanded and stabbed forward at the same time, while when defending, the team is reduced, five squats and five stands, and the spear crosses up and down and stabs forward, using a dense forest of guns to block the attack of the enemy, especially the cavalry. Each team supports each other and becomes a larger combat unit, and each garrison and battalion supports each other. In this way, the two battalions of gun soldiers can be divided and combined, attack or defend. The offense can attack in a chain like a wheel, with a force like a broken bamboo; the defense is like a forest of guns in front, without leaking water. Of course, this formation training is quite time-consuming, but it is too impatient and must be practiced very skillfully.

Another quality of elite spearmen is their calm psychology. When ordinary soldiers face the charge of heavy cavalry of the enemy, they will be frightened, and it is not surprising that they will be defeated. In history, Liu Bei's army was killed by a large number of Cao's iron cavalry in the Battle of Runan. I think the big reason is that soldiers who were not mentally prepared were frightened by the fierce cavalry and fled. The spearmen I prepared to resist the heavy cavalry of the enemy. If I do not have strong psychological qualities, I will definitely not be able to deal with the future battlefield situation. However, psychological quality is important in daily training, but the more important thing is to train in actual combat. Now I can't come.

I told all the basic things that need to be paid attention to, Lin Xue and Jin Choo, the captains of the two battalions of the "Tiger Gun Camp" and "Bear Gun Camp". In the end, I told him that a truly elite spear infantry team must achieve the 12-word key "as quiet as a forest, as unmoving as a mountain, as invasion as fire" before he could go into battle to defeat the enemy and be invincible. After hearing this, both of them lit up their eyes and recorded them silently.

Xuchang, Xiahou Yuanfu, general of the conquering army

Xiahou Rong had just returned home and was immediately surrounded by worried relatives at home, asking about the situation of his disappearance for more than ten days. At this time, a man in his 40s, with a strange face but a heroic spirit emitting from the whole body hurried into the mansion from outside. When he saw Xiahou Rong, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Good daughter, let my father see, can you be wronged when you are outside?" This person was Xiahou Yuan, a relative general of Cao's army.

Xiahou Rong bowed to him and whispered: "Dad Lao is worried, and his daughter has not suffered any grievances."

Xiahou Yuan knew that his daughter had always been honest, so he felt relieved. Then he thought of something and cursed loudly: "Bo Ren (Xiahou Shang, whose courtesy name is Bo Ren, is the nephew of Xiahou Yuan. He was once the General of the Wei State's Conquest South, the Governor of Jingzhou, and the Marquis of Changling Township). This kid is really useless. He can't protect you, and he actually let you be kidnapped by bandits."

It turned out that Xiahou Rong was accompanied by her cousin Xiahou Shang to visit relatives in Yingchuan that day, but she did not want to be met by Du Yuan who was robbed. Xiahou Shang was not Du Yuan's opponent, but was injured by Du Yuan. Xiahou Rong was left behind and fled back to Xuchang in a hurry, hoping that Xiahou Yuan would send troops to rescue him. However, it was a coincidence that Wen Chou led the army to attack Yanjin, so he was delayed. By the time he defeated Yuan Shao's army in Yanjin and returned to Xuchang, more than 10 days had passed. Xiahou Yuan was worried that his daughter might be in trouble, but he never thought that Xiahou Rong would return safely.

At this time, Xiahou Rong's mother, Xiahou Yuan's wife Cui, asked with joy, "Rong'er, I wonder how you escaped from the bandits?"

Xiahou Rong's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "It was a knight who happened to go up the mountain to eliminate the thief. She just rescued her daughter and sent someone to take her to the place of Yingchuan's aunt!" But at this moment, the tall figure flashed in her mind.

Cui asked hurriedly: "Daughter, where is the name of this knight now? My family is grateful to him as a good student!"

"This knight was unwilling to tell his name, so he killed the thief and saved the person and left by himself!"

"It's true that there is an ancient chivalrous spirit!" Xiahou Yuan sighed. "Today my daughter returns safely, I want to hold a banquet at home to celebrate. Zhongquan (Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Yuan's second son), you go to the mansion of Yuan Rang (Xiahou Dun), Zi Xiaoshu (Cao Ren), and Zi Lian (Cao Hong) to invite the three families to come together! I just say I want to celebrate your sister's safe return!"

"Yes, father!"
