After drinking for a while, Wang Zhongfu said: "After studying in the military academy for more than a month, I realized why people who come out of the army are initially arranged to be first-level officers. Because each one has about a hundred people, and it happens to be one Military formation. The most important ability of grassroots officers is to command the military formation skillfully. This includes how to march, how to camp, and how to form a formation when facing the enemy. How to organize the military formation to attack in the battle formation, how to retreat, and how to maintain the military formation during a stalemate. The formation will not break up. These things are easy to say but difficult to do. A few years ago, the Jinlu besieged Kaifeng Mansion. The army of King Qin in the world could only number one million! But facing less than 100,000 Jin troops, they could do nothing and could only sit down. Look at the Second Saint Beishou. After all, these King Qin’s armies lack grassroots officers and have millions of people, but they don’t have the ability to fight in battle formations.”
Meng Chao smiled bitterly: "These days, I just listen to the instructor's mysterious talk. But after thinking about it, what's so difficult about commanding an army formation?"
Wang Zhongfu shook his head: "It's not that easy. Strictly speaking, there are many principles that can be explained. It doesn't matter, as long as the people are gathered together and not allowed to escape. A battle example that the instructor often talks about is when he was in Hedong, two thousand imperial court The army faced seventeen gold thieves, but was rushed by the enemy and dispersed. Two thousand people, each of them drowned the gold thieves with a spittle. But the result? They were killed and defeated! Why? Just these two thousand The people have no basic organization and lack of grassroots officers, so they will be in chaos as soon as they get into battle."
Zhong Muran said: "When I heard this kind of story before, I just thought that the Han people were cowardly and couldn't fight in battle. It's different now. I know why they failed and what their shortcomings were. I know that the army should not only look at the number of people, but also the organizational ability. If the organization is not good, no matter how many people there are, they are just scattered soldiers and cannot be considered important. Only then do we understand why a military academy was established to train junior officers."
These five people went to the military school for more than a month, learned new knowledge, heard new opinions, and their entire worldview was shaken. Now we sit and drink together, talking more and more passionately, each talking about his or her own experience.
Zhang Jun was listening, feeling a little unhappy. When he joined Wang Xiaolie's army, there was no military academy. The missions carried out were all assassinations, sneak attacks, etc., without any real battle formations. Although his status is high, it seems he has little future now. In the army, if you want to be promoted, you must of course rely on your military exploits on the battlefield. If you don't lead troops to fight, your future will be limited after all.
Sometimes Zhang Jun thinks that he is smart and young. If he goes to a military school to study, he will not be worse than others. It’s just that the people who come out of the military academy are all junior officers, how can they be embarrassed? The entire army has been reorganized recently, and some of the people who were familiar with him in the past have been promoted to Commander-in-Chief, and some have been promoted to Marquis of Yu. Even calling him Commander-in-Chief feels a little guilty, which further irritates Zhang Jun. It's just that Zhang Jun is a face-saving person and can't make up his mind.
For an army to have combat effectiveness, it must have a strong organization. A strong organization is inseparable from outstanding grassroots officers. The military academy was established to solve this problem. Through military academies, a large number of qualified grassroots officers are trained in a short period of time to enrich the army. More senior officers need both military academies training and actual combat testing. Those who enter to study must be military officers, and they can no longer recruit people from the society.
Some people believe that an army capable of fighting should have a large number of veterans. The more veterans there are, the more effective the army will be. Not really. The combat effectiveness of the army first comes from the ability of the organization. There are many veterans, but maybe there are more junior officers among them.
The five people over there were beaming with joy, while Zhang Jun was irritated. He kept drinking heavily and gradually became a little drunk.
Over there, Li Qing took a big sip of wine, put down the bowl and said, "This wine doesn't make you strong, but it makes you urinate. You can eat and drink, and I'll relieve myself. When I get back, I'll have a showdown with you!"
As he spoke, he stood up. I didn't want to get drunk at this time, and when I faced the cool breeze, I lost my footing and stumbled. By chance, he bumped into Zhang Jun's leg and knocked Zhang Jun to the ground.
Zhang Jun was feeling agitated. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and said angrily: "Straight bitch, doesn't this guy have eyes?"
After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked Li Qing on the waist. Li Qing had just straightened up when he suddenly received a kick and suddenly fell down on the table. The bowls and plates on the table flew up, and the five people who were drinking were splashed with soup and water.
Meng Chao had long disliked Zhang Jun and others. He stood up and cursed: "How dare you hit someone? Straight bitch, let's fight!"
Zhang Jun sneered. He looked Meng Chao up and down and said, "You are such a slut. Grandpa beat you today, but you were laughed at! If you want to compete, I will take care of you!"
After saying that, Lu Cheng on the side stepped forward. He put his hands on his hips, said nothing, and looked at Meng Chao silently, showing a terrifying aura.
Wang Zhongfu saw that Zhang Jun was about the same age as him. Although he was afraid that Zhang Jun was an officer, he couldn't help himself. Seeing the tense situation between the two sides, he said: "If you want to compete, go to the bamboo forest over there. This is not far from Xinye City, aren't you afraid of the inspection people?"
Zhang Jun snorted coldly. Without saying anything, he led Lu Cheng and the others towards the bamboo forest.
Meng Chao and the five of him followed closely behind and arrived in the bamboo forest.
Not far away, we found a piece of flat land. Zhang Jun turned around and said to Meng Chao: "Come, fight with my companion for a few rounds!"
Meng Chao looked at Lu Cheng and saw that although he was not very tall, he was very strong and not easy to get along with. But he couldn't show weakness at this time. He shouted loudly and took off his shirt, exposing all his flesh.
Shu Jiming saw Lu Cheng standing there, silent and imposing, and knew he was an expert. He stepped forward and whispered to Meng Chao: "The leader on the opposite side is very cunning. He doesn't fight himself, but lets this companion do the fighting. Judging from their appearance, they must be experts. I will fight this battle, don't take his advantage. Loss. If you stay on one side without me holding the battle, you won’t lose anything."
Meng Chao said: "Brother, just watch from the side. If I can't help, you can do it again!"
After saying that, he strode forward and stood opposite Lu Cheng.
The light came in from the gaps in the bamboo forest, making it a little dim. Insects are chirping in the depths, and animals are escaping.
Meng Chao cupped his fists and said, "I've offended you today! Don't you know Gao's name?"
Lu Chengdao: "Why bother to sign up with the same surname because of the conflict of spirits? Let's just think that we have eaten enough tonight and we will do some exercise to digest our food. I heard that you are from the Xinye Military Academy. To be honest, we are not outsiders. We fight and wrestle. Even if the person who falls to the ground loses, he must not be entangled!"
After hearing this, Meng Chao and others knew that the people on the other side were indeed people from the army. There is a military city nearby, and patrols are very strict, so everyone in the army must be careful. So Lu Cheng wanted to fight, and no one would say their names.
After a few polite words, Meng Chao couldn't help but pounced forward.
Lu Cheng laughed and stepped forward to greet him. Before Meng Chao could grab his arm, he stretched out his feet and pushed Meng Chao to the ground with a gentle push. Then he clapped his hands, returned to his seat, looked at Meng Chao and smiled.
As soon as he met, he fell to the ground. Meng Chao jumped up suddenly, feeling a little confused. There was no injury to my body when I moved around. If you feel dissatisfied, you will rush forward and continue competing.
Lu Chengdao: "Brother, what I just said is clear. If you fall to the ground, you lose. Do you deny it?"
Meng Chao said: "I am not injured at all. If I just give up, wouldn't I be laughed at? Besides, there is no such truth in the world!"
Lu Chengdao: "I think you are also a soldier, so I just recognize you and don't hurt you. If you don't know good from evil, then don't blame me."
Wang Zhongfu on the side could see clearly. Lu Cheng is a master of gladiatorial combat, and he has indeed retained his strength. With Meng Chao's strength, he couldn't defeat Lu Cheng no matter what. If you do it again, you may really get hurt.
He said hurriedly: "This brother of mine lost. If you lose, you lose. Why bother to be tough? It's just that you are the partner of the quarrelsome person. We will also send a partner here to compete again. If you lose, find someone else." . We must win or lose tonight!"
After saying that, he winked at Shu Jiming and motioned for him to come forward.
Seeing Shu Jiming walking forward, who was more than seven feet tall and as tall as an iron tower, Zhang Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He asked Lu Cheng in a low voice: "This big man is tall and strong. You are more than a head shorter than him. Can you beat him?"
Lu Cheng looked at Shu Jiming and whispered: "To be honest, I am more than 20 years old, and this is the first time I have seen such a tall person. I am really not sure whether he can fight. However, as long as he is not a veteran in gladiatorial combat, even if he wins If you can’t, you won’t lose.”
Zhang Jun nodded and took a few steps back.
Among his subordinates, Lu Cheng, Wang Gan and Liu Jing are all good at wrestling. Wang Gan has sharp eyes, quick movements, and his strikes are ruthless and accurate. With a small knife in his hand, he can knock down several people in the blink of an eye. Liu Jing, on the other hand, is skilled and flexible in his movements, and what he competes with others is his skills. Only Lu Cheng was truly specialized in gladiatorial combat, and he had few opponents in the army. However, facing a stranger like Shu Jiming tonight, I felt unsure.
After saluting, Lu Cheng and Shu Jiming stood opposite each other.
Shu Jiming was skilled in bow and horse, but although he knew how to fight, he was not skilled in it. Just now I saw Lu Cheng tripping and pushing. I could see his skill and knew he was a master. She made up her mind, as long as she didn't let Lu Cheng get close, there was nothing he could do to her.
Seeing Lu Cheng coming up, Shu Jiming stretched out his long arm and pressed him on the shoulder. Lu Cheng struggled hard, but couldn't get away, feeling helpless. He was already at a huge disadvantage due to his height, but he didn't expect that this big man was also very strong. How could he fight?
When Lu Cheng tried his best to twist Shu Jiming's arm, he couldn't do it at all. He wanted to get closer, but was blocked from outside. For a while, the two of them were jumping back and forth in a circle, and neither could do anything to the other, and they reached a deadlock.
Zhang Jun looked on helplessly. He said sternly: "Big thief, if you don't fight, why are you wandering around here?"
Shu Jiming suddenly pushed Lu Cheng away. Turning around, he yelled at Zhang Jun: "Straight mother-in-law, if you come up here, grandpa will beat you up!"
Zhang Jun was startled and took a few steps back.
