Many military training methods of later generations are actually not necessarily applicable to the current situation.
Therefore, the military training methods practiced by Chen Wang are now completely based on the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training" written by Qi Jiguang.
When training troops, you must first train strength. Marching and fighting require strength. Hand strength, foot strength, and body strength must all be practiced. They are also the foundation of the foundation.
These recruits turned out to be farmers. They were actually quite strong and had good endurance, but most of them had become much thinner due to hunger.
However, during this period, the governor of Pizhou heard that the bandits were coming again, so he sent a lot of meat and rice into the military camp, and each division received a lot.
Chen Wang did not hide anything, and added all the meat and rice to the daily meals of ordinary soldiers. During this period, the soldiers in the entire department were full of food.
In seven days, most of the recruits' faces had faded a lot, and their bodies gradually recovered.
The supplementary second round of training is strength training.
To practice long-distance running, each person must run one mile in one breath without being out of breath and the queue is not seriously dispersed, which is used to practice sufficient strength.
During daily training, he wears armor and holds weapons to practice physical and hand strength.
However, before practicing strength, there are two most important things to teach.
One is the loading and firing of the gun, and the other is the use and formation of the spear.
The training of cannon soldiers is very difficult. There are only one hundred and twenty cannons allocated, and they have all been used. There are now forty cannons 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 for hundreds of rounds.
Chen Wang looked at the muskets carried on the shoulders of the soldiers below. He doubted whether these muskets made by the Ministry of Works could last a hundred rounds.
Although money was exchanged for a batch of better quality muskets, the time to blow up the chamber was still unavoidable. No one holding the Ministry of Industry's blunderbuss could guarantee whether the next shot would blow up the chamber.
That is to say, these recruits dared to use these bird guns because they knew nothing about them. Most of the veterans in the camp stayed away from bird guns.
It has not been tested, and Chen Wang does not know the service life of these muskets, so there must not be too much live-fire training.
If you really fire more than a dozen rounds a day, it is difficult to solve the problem of gunpowder, not to mention the service life of the gun.
There was not much gunpowder allocated along with the gunpowder. Although the lead was enough, it was of no use 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.
"My subordinate is here!"
Hu Zhili took a step forward and half-knelt on the ground, bowing his head and obeying the order.
Although the two were cousins, after the army gathered together, they were only divided into superiors and inferiors, not close ones.
"You take the musket soldiers in the third round to the new shooting range east of the school grounds and teach them how to use the musket and shoot in three rounds."
The order flag in Chen Wang's hand was taken over by the order soldiers on the low platform.
"Follow the order!"
Hu Zhili raised his hands, took the order flag from the ordering soldier who came down from the platform, and replied loudly.
After receiving the military order, Hu Zhili did not hesitate. He held the order flag and lit up one hundred and twenty bird gun soldiers carrying bird guns on their shoulders to leave the queue.
The results of the seven days of training were good. After being ordered out of the queue, the one hundred and twenty cannon soldiers who were fired at the end of the queue quickly turned into a march, with six people in a row, divided into twenty rows, following. Hu Zhili looked toward the shooting range in the east.
The shooting range to the east is a newly built training ground. It is said to be newly built, but in fact it is just a dozen wooden targets stuck together. It took a total of half an hour to build the city's simple shooting range.
Due to the service life of the gunpowder and the storage capacity of gunpowder, Chen Wang set the number of ammunition for the birdgun team to fire three times a day, and the rest of the time he only practiced shooting without gunpowder.
At this stage, there is no solution. There is a huge gap between shooting live ammunition and non-live ammunition.
But now he doesn't have much autonomy, everything is like dancing in a cage.
Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and flashed.
The status of the general manager is far from enough, even the general manager Qian and the Central Army are not enough.
If you want to truly show your strength and gain a certain degree of autonomy, you must at least become a guerrilla.
Only by becoming a guerrilla can one have the authority to lead a battalion. If one does not lead a battalion alone, there will always be constraints from all sides.
As the cannon team moved away, Chen Wang also withdrew his gaze and focused his attention again on the soldiers standing in the school field.
Chen Wang did not continue to give orders, but slowly walked off the low platform and walked towards the center of the school ground.
Tang Shiping followed Chen Wang and looked at the central area, while Hu Zhiyi and Chen Gong directed the soldiers to separate the roads and then form a circle around the central area of the school ground.
In the center of the school ground, twelve veterans with wooden guns on their shoulders stood in formation. Six of them stood in two rows. The wooden guns in their hands had no tip, only a piece of wrapped wood. White cloth.
There was a straw man standing in front of them.
Chen Wang walked all the way to about six steps in front of the straw man and then stopped.
At this time, Chen Gong also stepped forward and handed a standard infantry spear about one foot and three feet long into Chen Wang's hand.
Taking the spear into his hand, Chen Wang felt his hand sink slightly.
The wooden handle is slightly rough. This is a new gun.
The one-foot-three-foot long spear is held in the hand, still at the back end, and it takes a lot of effort to pick it up.
If you have never used a gun, it will undoubtedly be difficult to use this kind of spear to its full power. It will even be difficult to stab the enemy, and you will 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 sat down, and only the soldiers in the last two rows stood staggered, forming a large hollow circular formation.
"To hold a spear, the waist and horse must be integrated. Not only the hands must be used to exert force, but also the waist, legs, and body must exert force."
Chen Wang's eyes slowly became sharper, his body turned slightly and his spear pointed forward.
"Look carefully, I will only practice once."
All the soldiers surrounding him were holding their breath and concentrating, even the twelve veterans in the field were the same.
"Look at the tip of the gun."
"Keep your feet on the ground, push off the ground first, then rotate your waist, move your hands forward, and exert force at the same time."
Chen Wang broke down the movements step by step, and finally took a step forward, focusing on the straw man in front of him.
"When exerting force, you can shout loudly to build momentum and increase your strength."
Chen Wang shouted loudly and thrust out the spear in his hand.
"kill!"
Before anyone could react, the spear in Chen Wang's hand had already stabbed the straw man not far in front of him.
The sharp spear head pierced the straw man's chest in an instant, and the cold spear head reflected in everyone's eyes under the sunlight.
Everyone on the school field was terrified. If this shot was aimed at them, they would never be able to avoid it.
"When you draw your spear, you can take a deep breath to use it."
"On the battlefield, the weapons in your hands are the basis for 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 shouldered the spear and said solemnly.
"One is the weapons in your own hands."
