The power of belief is powerful, and the soldiers are full of fighting spirit, and they train rigorously one by one.
Some people were wearing armor weighing forty or fifty pounds and running up and down the mountain.
Some people sleep with their bows and knives in their arms.
Almost everyone has calluses on their hands.
The straw man stakes used for training were chopped and stabbed to pieces by them, and there was no need for Li Yue to supervise them.
During the Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the high-ranking officials were as cowardly as chickens and as rotten as maggots, but the power from the bottom never rotted away and never feared Hulu.
The Beifu Army in history was formed by refugees from the north.
He achieved unparalleled results on the banks of the Feishui River. Later, he followed Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty in his Northern Expedition. He used thousands of troops to set up the Queyue Formation and defeated the 30,000 cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He destroyed five kingdoms and killed six emperors.
So it's not that the northerners are not good, it's that the Sima family's court is not good.
The Han people have never lost their courage, they just lack a leader!
Li Yue suddenly knew why Bo Wu had given up his position to him.
After shouting the slogan, Li Yue felt that he was full of fighting spirit and dealt with civil and military affairs during the day.
Sometimes he wears armor weighing forty or fifty kilograms and patrols the mountains like ordinary soldiers.
The weather in May and June is occasionally heavy rain and sultry. When I go out once, my whole body is sweating like rain, and my feet are covered with blisters.
The soldiers did not complain, not even Li Yue.
In the evening, I reminisced about the old events of the Qin and Han Dynasties with the soldiers. Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Han Xing, Zhang Liang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Ban Chao, Zhang Qian, Fu Jiezi, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, etc., the names and deeds that represent the Chinese spirit, starting from Li He jumped out of his mouth and said it.
The more the soldiers listened, the brighter their eyes became.
"Our ancestors were so brave, but we sit back and watch our homeland fall. We should die!" Xu Cheng's face was full of shame.
Knowing shame is close to courage.
In addition to being ashamed, the soldiers also had a bit more national self-confidence and identification with China.
Shi Hu trampled the Han people into the mud in the north and used various means to oppress and torture them, so that the number of Hu people north of the Yellow River was almost the same as that of the Han people.
It can be said that China has never been in such a dangerous time since ancient times.
The Hu people, headed by the Jie people, have enough population to completely replace the Han people!
Coupled with the Sima family's series of scandalous operations, it was a double blow to the national self-confidence of the Han people.
This great and glorious nation is facing the most dangerous moment.
At night, when the soldiers were asleep, Li Yue still had to study the art of war under the mottled lights.
Reading the art of war of the sages, it feels like having a conversation with them.
The era when Wei Liaozi was born was the Yingzheng period, which included not only the means of running the army, but also various methods of running the people and the country.
It was quite characteristic of the times. The killing spirit almost broke through the restrictions of the bamboo slips, which was very different from the "benevolence and righteousness" advocated by other military arts.
For example: In ancient times, those who were good at using soldiers could kill half of the soldiers, followed by thirteen, and then eleven. Anyone who can kill half of them will be in Weijiahai! Kill the thirteen, and strengthen the feudal lords! Kill eleven and order the soldiers to march!
Simple and crude.
It makes sense when you think about it carefully. Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in a trap, weakening the last country that had the power to compete with Qin and laying the foundation for Qin to unify the world.
This is exactly what happened when we reviewed the rise of Shile Shihu.
Even if the northern forces surrender, they will inevitably suffer the tragic fate of being trapped and killed.
But it was this brutal method that made no one in the north dare to resist.
In such a dangerous world, doesn't it need a killer like Bai Qi?
The other Sima Fa, Wu Zi and Li Yue also finished their studies quickly, but they were not as shocking as Wei Liaozi.
Both Sima Fa and Wu Zi focused on military training and analysis of battlefield situations and national conditions.
It was also of great help to Li Yue.
Later generations always think that standing in line, walking in step, etc. are the patents of the modern army. In fact, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Chinese army did this.
Chapter of the Pastoral Oath in "Shangshu": Today's matter should not be hesitated in six steps. After seven steps, it will stop and come together.
This means taking six or seven steps, and after stopping, the array should be in order.
The word "Cao" in training refers to array training.
Its complexity is actually still higher than that of later generations. It not only requires mastering basic movements such as forward and backward, left and right, vertical and horizontal, opening and closing, rising, sitting, kneeling, and lying down, but also knows the flag and the golden drum.
It is by no means a simple matter of advancing when you hear the drum and retreating when you hear the gold.
The flags and golden drums represent many things.
After mastering these, you have just passed the test. Next comes the training. The chariot warriors recorded in "Six Tao" are under forty years old and more than seven feet five inches tall. They can catch up with a galloping horse when running. Jumping onto a fast-moving chariot, you also need to be able to pull an eight-stone crossbow...
The warriors of the Wei State took it with a measure, wore armor of three attributes, wielded a crossbow of twelve stones, carried fifty arrows, placed it on a gun, wore a crown and a sword, won three days of food, and headed for a hundred miles at noon...
The requirements are higher than those of later generations of special forces.
Therefore, it is not easy to train an elite. After all the elites of many forces and dynasties are exhausted, they will be breathless for more than ten years, and then they will be destined to perish.
Li Yue doesn't need to worry about practicing. Just wear armor and go down the mountain a few times, shoot a few hares, and his quality will improve.
Even the so-called elite Gaoli Imperial Guards are still traveling on the rugged mountain roads of Black Cloud Mountain.
The difficult thing is the formation drill.
Take future generations as an example. High school students and college students are of high quality, right? He still made a fool of himself during military training.
Can't tell the difference between left and right...
There is nothing you can do about this, you can only rely on training day after day to let the soldiers form conditioned reflexes.
Li Yue made twenty-three small flags two feet high and one tooth flag three feet high.
If the tooth flag moves, the whole army will move. If the tooth flag moves to the left, the whole army will move to the left, to the right, and the whole army will move to the right. If you wave it forward twice, you will attack the enemy's formation. If you wave it once, you will form a formation on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy's impact. .
Not only can they command arrays, but they can also command units.
Archers, spearmen, cavalry, etc. can all give orders through the small flag next to the tooth flag.
Its complexity was an eye-opener for Li Yue.
In fact, if you think about it, in a noisy battlefield with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, it is impossible to shout with your voice, and the messengers are too late.
Of course, there are now only a little over two thousand soldiers and scouts in Heiyun Mountain.
You don't need something so complicated.
There is no cavalry in the army, so Li Yue greatly simplified it and did not require everyone to learn it in a short time, but the officers must master it quickly.
The officers were all promoted by Li Yue, and they responded to his words with great respect.
At night, Li Yue read the Art of War, and the officers outside were also reciting various orders and flags to remind each other.
Nothing is unachievable.
Heiyun Mountain is determined to make everyone active and motivated.
Once the officers learn it, things will be much easier, and they will correct the soldiers.
Within a few days, there was a bit of a murderous atmosphere in the military camp.
"Stab!" More than two thousand spears were thrust out with murderous intent.
It's as if the enemy is right in front of you.
Hatred is not entirely a bad thing in this era, at least it can quickly condense people's hearts.
Even Confucianism has the argument of "repaying evil with virtue, why repay virtue with kindness".
