Chapter 97 Practical Exercises
On this day, Zhao Yuan gathered everyone together and asked everyone to replace the long knives in their hands with wooden knives, and then everyone put on cotton armor.
This kind of cotton clip is mainly made of thick cloth and looks the same as ordinary leather armor. If you are hit by something like a stick, you won't be seriously injured, but the pain will be inevitable.
After everyone finished dressing, Zhao Yuan looked at the Bai family disciples in front of him and said loudly: "You have been training sword skills and formations for more than a month. There is still half a month before departure. In this half
One month is the time to test your training results!"
After a slight pause, he continued: "In half a month, you and other martial arts people will go to the coast to assist the imperial troops in encircling and suppressing Japanese pirates. Therefore, you will spend the next half month learning how to march in the wild and set up camp. In addition,
In addition, you will also face enemies in various situations. The number of enemies is not large, four hundred. They are elite disciples I invited from the Beggar Clan. Like you, they can also use wooden swords, so it is not necessary to
I'll kill you, but it's entirely possible to get beaten up with bruises and bruises! Don't be resentful if you get beaten or lose. You can't blame others if you're not as good as others. Besides, if you feel some pain today, your lives may be saved tomorrow! You have to do it.
The best thing is to treat them as real enemies and deal with them seriously. Anyway, I have already given them a warning and beat them hard, it will definitely hurt!"
In order for this group of martial arts people to learn to march, fight and set up camp like an army, of course it must be done by professionals. Therefore, the Liu family spent a lot of money to invite a retired general. The old man originally fought in the north and south, and established a
After a lot of hard work and a lot of injuries, he finally settled in Hangzhou.
Zhao Yuan himself didn't know anything about marching, fighting, setting up camps, etc. The Liu family didn't know either, so the Liu family spent a lot of money to ask his old man to give him advice. When he heard that these Bai family children were going to the coast to fight against Japanese pirates, the old general didn't say anything.
, put on his battle armor, and rushed over in a hurry, without taking any money.
So under his leadership, the two hundred Bai family disciples left the Bai family and went straight to the wild to start training in the wild.
"Shall we join in the fun?"
After Zhao Yuan watched the Bai family disciples leave, he said to Liu Zhiqing, who was also coming next to him.
"Aren't you going to go with us? You will have to lead these people in the future."
Liu Zhiqing asked curiously, Zhao Yuan trained these sword techniques and formations, but he doesn't go now, which is a bit strange.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Why don't you go? I am now a general beside the old general. But I don't think it would be interesting to go alone, so I have to wait for you. Everything has been prepared for you!"
After that, he turned around and took out a set of clothes, but it was a set of men's clothes.
Liu Zhiqing was a little hesitant.
Zhao Yuandao: "If they can return triumphantly, they will be the foundation of the Bai family in the future. Don't you plan to watch with your own eyes how they grow step by step?"
Liu Zhiqing hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and quickly changed her clothes and came out. The originally pretty eldest lady suddenly turned into a handsome young man. Then the two of them did not ride horses, but followed them from a distance, waiting for them to leave.
Hangzhou City, entered the mountains, and then looked at it from a distance.
Choosing a location when marching and setting up camp is very important. Generally speaking, it must be close to a water source. The location is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack!
At the moment, the old general was outside the camp instructing the Bai family boys on the key points of setting up camp. He talked about it for about a stick of incense before letting them explore on their own. He sat on a stone under the shade of a tree and watched those who were already busy.
Bai family disciple
Obviously, just like when they first started learning the formation, it was completely chaotic, and the division of labor was also very unclear.
The old general did not say much, but waited for them to explore on their own. In this case, the role of the captain of a small team became very obvious. He had to coordinate with others to complete many things, including setting up camp, preparing food, etc.
And during the battle, he was the backbone of the other four.
Zhao Yuan said this directly, and the old general also didn't say it. Many things must be learned and remembered deeply.
Zhao Yuan and the other two sneaked out from their hiding place and saluted: "General!"
The old general turned his head to look at the two of them, chuckled, and said, "Sit down!"
Zhao Yuan did not hesitate, sat down on the ground, looked at the Bai family children in front of him who were racking their brains to set up a tent, and asked: "General, what do you think?"
The old general nodded slightly and said: "With tough steps and strict discipline, he is considered a qualified soldier in terms of these two points. However, to truly become an excellent soldier, he still needs training. By the way, you didn't mean to arrange an opponent for them."
? Where is this opponent?"
Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, then pointed at the mountain forest not far away from where the Bai family's children were encamped, and said, "That's where Gang Leader Duan's men should be hiding!"
The old general asked: "Why?"
Zhao Yuandao: "General, please look, a large number of birds suddenly flew out of this forest, but they hovered in the forest for a long time and refused to leave. And now is the time when the birds are giving birth to chicks. There must be something in the forest."
It alerted them, and if I were the enemy, this would definitely be a good time to attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods over there, rushing towards them like dark clouds. There were hundreds of them. Like these Bai family members, they all held wooden weapons and wore thick clothing.
Cloth armor.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that Gang Leader Duan still gave us some face!"
Liu Zhiqing asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yuan looked at Liu Zhiqing, then at the general, and said with a smile: "Then let me play with my ax in front of Luban's gate!"
After that, he looked in front of him and said: "After choosing the location to set up camp, the first thing to do is to send scouts, the so-called spies, in all directions to ensure that there are no enemies around. Secondly, as for the water source
Try to choose big rivers, so as to avoid poisoning by the enemy. Third, the geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it must have a wide field of vision. Fourth, someone must set up defenses and place sentries around, which is also to make up for the number of spies sent out.
Insufficient, the gap caused by the excessive distance between each other. The reason why Gang Leader Duan gave us a little face is because their men and horses were completely sneaking dozens of feet forward, and we could not detect it at all. Then
This kind of sneak attack is more likely to succeed!"
Liu Zhiqing was surprised: "You actually still understand this?"
The old general also nodded and said with a smile: "As Yang Shaoxia said, if we exclude the waiters when we arrive here, and then set up sentries, we might be able to discover the ambush disciples of the Beggar Clan!"
Liu Zhiqing wondered: "Since you all know it, why don't you teach them?"
According to her understanding, since they were going to teach these Liu family children to march and fight, why not talk about arranging spies and sentries?
Zhao Yuandao: "I asked the old general not to mention it on purpose. On the one hand, they must learn to be alert at all times and be vigilant everywhere, because even if they send out spies and scouts, they may be assassinated, and the sentries may also be quietly assassinated.
Assassinate them, so everyone is required to be on high alert at all times and be ready to enter the fighting state from rest. Just like in the army, the so-called use the gun as a pillow and sit in armor. Now a small negligence on their part could lead to them being beaten.
A meal, but on the battlefield, a small negligence can kill them. Developing this habit will be of great benefit to them no matter what they do in the future! But today it seems that they have to be ruthless
Got beaten up!"
Although the disciples of the Liu family all have a foundation in martial arts, they have been training very hard these days and have made great progress, but deep down they are still people of the martial arts. Faced with a sudden attack, without anyone to direct them, they did not even think of taking action.
When they applied what they had learned during this period, they were fighting independently, and the scene was in chaos.
In fact, when attacked in the wild, it is very common for disciples of various sects to fight independently. This is the difference between martial arts people and the army.
Zhao Yuan was interested in training troops, so why was Duan Shuiquan not? So the more than 400 people he recruited were also elite disciples of the Beggar Clan. Their personal strength was on par with the disciples of the Bai family, and the leader was the elder Yiqipao.
The disciples of the Liu family who were not prepared at all rushed into the fight and were immediately beaten to a pulp. Even though they were all wearing cloth armor, the wooden sticks and the like hit their bodies even though they would not hurt their muscles and bones, but they were still very painful.
The disciples of the Beggar Clan didn't show any interest in fighting. They gave up when they saw fit. They came and went in a hurry like a strong wind passing by, leaving behind a lot of Bai family disciples who were humming somewhere.
