The third month of military training is all about coordinated combat training with small teams carrying weapons.
Now that each of these recruits has acquired the third level, they should be comparable to an experienced hunter. What is needed now is the cooperation of the team.
Such rapid advancement has never been thought of by anyone, including Li Qifeng. He has improved by an average of more than two levels in two months. What kind of speed is that? It is something that many warriors cannot achieve in their lifetime.
According to Ye Xing's request, 290 people were reorganized into a total of 29 ten-man teams. The team must have 3 spearmen, 3 swordsmen, 3 archers, and a captain as the commander. Each person also has a team leader. There is a short knife.
Ye Xing requires each group to have the leader as the leader and cooperate fully. The stick method is changed to the spear method and the knife method, and a team leader is formed to fight. At any time, 10 people must advance and retreat together.
In order to achieve actual combat effects, everyone is asked to wear heavy armor and conduct actual combat training.
There is a competition between the teams every five days. The opponents are drawn by lots. The losing team still has to wash clothes for the winning team for three days. The team leader is solely responsible for all training.
The competition held every five days is all about the battle for reputation and interests, so every team goes all out and never dares to slack off.
Some teams go directly into the mountains and forests for training. However, there are no large beasts in the mountains and forests near Donghai City. It is not known how effective this will be.
Some teams come directly to practice fighting in the river, while some teams practice fighting directly in private. There used to be no training at night, but now many teams decide to train on their own, and no one has any objections.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng did not care about the details, nor did they instruct specific martial arts. They only let each group train on their own.
Ye Xing believed that any martial arts skills were not as important as actual combat. The two of them were only responsible for logistical support and the unlimited supply of medicine, food, and weapons.
Military training is in full swing, and each team has figured out its own way.
Three months of military training is about to expire, and the results of military training will soon be tested in combat.
At the same time, Ye Xing Factory is doing its best to develop various equipment, but the production and processing of iron products is very difficult, and progress is still a bit slow.
Since Ye Xing made the hardest alloy tool, the water wheel lathe, the processing of each component was not easy, but it was finally completed.
The newly designed formal spinning machines, looms, and waterwheels have all been produced and are being installed and debugged.
In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Ye Xing conducted a comprehensive inspection of every detail and processed some key parts by hand. The debugging effect is quite good. There is only one problem that has not been solved yet, that is, the noise is a bit loud.
Ye Xing believes that this is a problem of machining accuracy. Of course, there is also a problem of lubrication, but there is no good solution. Ye Xing uses animal grease as lubrication, which is very effective and the noise is much smaller.
Ye Xing also prepared raw materials for two large warehouses, mainly cotton, and contacted multiple suppliers to provide raw materials at any time. Everything is ready.
In order to ensure smooth production, Ye Xing also asked six women to train in spinning and weaving operations on the original prototype machine. Although it was mechanized, things like disconnection still had to be done manually.
And their operation is much better than that of men. They are more careful and professional. At the same time, they have put forward many effective suggestions for improving details. After testing one by one, they have better results. It can be said that professionalism is more important. of.
Ye Xing decided to officially start his factory after completing military training.
Finally, the three months of military training were completed and the martial arts competition began.
Ye Xing invited his master and all the prominent people in the city to come to the military camp to observe. The temporary viewing platform was packed with seats.
Ye Xing distributed a program list, an exquisite small gift, and a small bag of exquisite snacks to each guest attending the ceremony. Such an operation was absolutely unprecedented. All the guests looked at the playground with interest.
In the first program, teams marched in formation with weapons in hand. All teams were uniformly dressed in tight-fitting camouflage combat uniforms newly designed by Ye Xing. All soldiers were majestic and extremely neat.
When a group of guests passed by, they all raised their right hands in salute. The movements were so beautiful and unified. The audience was stunned to see it. It was so beautiful and they applauded continuously.
In the second program, several teams of different styles performed performances, including technical performances of spears, long knives, long arrows, and short knives, as well as team members' cooperative combat drills. This performance was also wonderful.
In the third program, 29 teams drew lots and conducted actual weapons confrontation.
Everyone wore light armor designed by Ye Xing, which only protected a few key parts. First there was a battle between 2 squads, then there was a battle between 2 squads against 2 squads, then there was a melee between 3 squads and 3 squads, and then there was a battle between 4 squads and 4 squads.
In addition to the fact that no one will die, these battles are all bloody battles with real swords and guns, so they are so exciting, real and bloody. It is simply a real life-and-death battle.
Because there were really many people bleeding. Of course, Ye Xing had already stipulated that if someone was injured, he would have to withdraw from the battle, because it was impossible to actually kill someone. It was just a show.
Even though everyone knew it was fake, when a person really bleeded and fell, it completely stunned the people on the field. The battlefield is about life and death, which is what Ye Xing wants everyone to understand deeply. .
Due to years of peace in Donghai County, no one knows what the war is like. The city guards have never really fought. They only used force against some petty thieves. In fact, the level of combat is zero. It is estimated that they will fight against real troops. It's basically useless. If you forget to fight, you will be in danger.
When Ye Xing took over the new city guard army, he was determined to train a truly combat-effective army.
Although the current 290 people are small, they are still core seeds. If necessary, they can be expanded 10 times immediately. As long as they are trained, they will become qualified warriors.
Of course, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng will not tell anyone that the key is that they use the elixir to instantly improve the soldiers' personal combat effectiveness.
An army without individual combat effectiveness will collapse at the first touch; an army with only individual martial arts is just a piece of loose sand. Only the combination of the two is a real army.
But victory must also rely on the commander's military command ability, so Ye Xing believes that the next step is to train qualified commanders.
Ye Xing didn't know how to proceed, and Donghai County didn't have any such talents. Talents didn't just rely on training, which was too slow. They also had to introduce and absorb high-level talents to drive development.
All the soldiers present, including the city lord and guests, were extremely shocked by the bloody scene, but they also knew that this was the real army needed to protect Donghai County.
And all the big guys in the city finally know that the purpose of the city lord inviting everyone here is to get military support;
An army that protects the safety of one's own person and property must naturally be supported by oneself. Otherwise, who will protect you, your family, and your property?
Of course, people who are like old foxes will naturally not express their opinions now. If the city lord insists on saying something about military expenditures, these people will definitely fight and delay it first. They have to do it, but No, just a few of you can contribute. In the end, everyone in the city will contribute some money.
The Lord of the City was smiling and did not mention any military expenses. Instead, he was very happy to see the performance on the playground.
Finally, the city lord and the guests presented flags to each team and distributed the gifts prepared by Ye Xing. The martial arts competition came to an end.
The city lord was extremely happy and said with a smile:
"Xing'er, you are really a genius. I think this city guard must be led by you. Next, your senior brother Li may return to the sect, so you continue to train this new army. This is not a city guard." The army should be on the battlefield! "
"So, I have decided that the original city guards will be responsible for defending the city, and you will continue to train to become a core guarding force in the East China Sea."
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng nodded. This group of people was indeed the work of both of them, and the money spent was unexplainably huge. Of course, they would not be willing to give it up to others.
When seeing off the guests, Ye Xing told the master that his factory would officially start production tomorrow and wanted him to cut the ribbon for the opening. Li Xuantong readily agreed, and was also eager to know what new gadgets his genius disciple would come up with.
That night, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng held a grand party for the recruits, with wine, performances, delicious food, and everyone had a good time.
The injured people didn't say anything anymore. With so many people injured, it wasn't a shame. Anyway, they ate and drank all night, and then slept soundly.
