Chapter 276 Three Orders for Military Training
The former Shi Chang Gouzi and the current Centurion Gouzi were among the few low-level officers Li Mengxi knew well.
Comparing his size and physical quality, Gouzi is indeed ordinary among Xiangyong.
Without Li Mengxi's early warning, Gouzi would have been lost among the crowd and would not have been able to become a centurion.
The first order Li Mengxi issued was to arrange people in order from lowest to highest.
"The second order, based on the first person, align the front and back."
Fortunately, these warriors have been training for a long time and know what alignment means.
"Let me tell you, you will go take care of the peasants later. The peasants don't know how to align themselves. If they are not aligned, you can pull them out, okay?" Li Mengxi said this to Gouzi and the others, as well as to the hundreds of Xiangyong who were watching.
of.
"Do you understand?" Li Mengxi asked again.
Gouzi loudly responded that he understood, while the rest responded by chatting.
I'm still not used to it. The military in this era is too different from the previous life. The commands are different and the actions are also different.
During military training in my previous life, after the instructor finished explaining something, he loudly asked if he understood. It would not work if his voice was lowered.
But now these country warriors who were trained by Guan Yu are not asked whether they understand what Guan Yu is saying or not.
Any country warrior who does not listen carefully will be punished by military law. Guan Yu is not used to asking questions, so naturally the country warriors are not used to answering.
"The third order, when the order is given to walk together, take half a step before and after and pay attention to alignment at all times."
"Listen to my order, start - go!" Li Mengxi gave the order in a clear voice.
Xiang Yong, the leader of the team, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and walked forward, followed by the people behind him.
Well, some lift their left foot, some lift their right foot, some take long steps, and some take slow steps.
There were just ten people, all walking around.
The steps are different, the cadence must be different, and the walking must be chaotic.
However, this is not the problem to be solved now. As long as you can walk, it will be enough.
After not walking far, the leader of the team looked back at Li Mengxi.
"Go straight." Li Mengxi said.
After not going very far, the front and back became misaligned.
"Stop!" Li Mengxi ordered to stop.
They all ordered to stop, and those who were lagging behind moved a few steps forward to follow.
This gave Li Mengxi a little headache.
This era has its own rules of war, and even if it is the same as the honor guard in the previous life, it may not increase much combat effectiveness.
"Let me tell you, you soldiers are not walking in unison, and the civilians who are walking behind are even more chaotic. Remember, always align your front and back."
Li Mengxi emphasized it again.
Then, using this team as an example, Li Mengxi asked the ten-man team to walk back and forth several times, and finally they were able to align their front and back and move together.
Then, let all the remaining Xiangyong be disbanded as a whole and practice "walking".
More than five hundred village warriors were divided into teams of ten and more than fifty.
Li Mengxi walked through the crowd, and when he saw which team was doing poorly, he stepped forward to say a few words.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang stood watching from a distance and let Li Mengxi do what he did.
Li Mengxi asked the local warriors to walk around. Liu Bei watched with interest and wondered what Li Mengxi's military training meant.
Without a clock, there is no way to accurately determine time within a quarter of an hour.
When Li Mengxi saw that they were almost done practicing, he ordered the group to assemble.
Then, Li Mengxi ran towards Liu Bei and others.
Then he whispered in Liu Bei's ear for a while, saying so and so...
After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came hand in hand and came to Xiang Yong's formation.
Liu Bei glanced at the village warriors and said in a loud voice, "The military adviser wants to recruit from the whole army people who can train troops, so as to prepare ten captains. Later, go to the civilian camp, and you and others will elect ten captains.
Within a quarter of an hour, we should train the common people. Those who can walk a hundred paces without any confusion should be promoted first when they are promoted to official positions in the future."
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, whispers began in the queue.
Li Mengxi had anticipated the reaction of the village heroes.
Li Mengxi knew that it was difficult to ensure the dedication of the village warriors by letting them all train civilians.
Knowing that his prestige in the army was still inferior to that of Liu Bei, Li Mengxi came up with a strategy of using Liu Bei's strength to select people who were "good at training soldiers" based on the effectiveness of training civilians.
When it comes from Liu Bei's mouth, everyone is more convinced, so it can have the effect of encouraging rewards.
Then, Liu Bei ordered the entire army to disband and asked the soldiers to go to the civilian camp to select ten civilians each for training here.
The village heroes dispersed and ran back with a crash.
Do you want to say that you don’t need to be prepared for the Yellow Turbans on the mountain? You should be prepared, but don’t worry too much about whether the Yellow Turbans will rush down from the mountain.
If the Yellow Turban generals had any brains, they would not have left a dangerous place and attacked rashly.
The mobilization of the army was too time-consuming. The country warriors ran half a mile back to the main camp, just like bandits crossing the border. More than 500 people were running around in the camp. If they caught a civilian, they asked the civilian to follow them.
The information was not conveyed clearly, and the peasants did not know what was going on. The camp was in such a mess and so smoky that it almost led to chaos.
They will also bomb campers during the day.
If people panic and run around, causing a large number of people to run away, the stampede will cause a lot of casualties.
Finally, after a while, more than 500 local warriors disrupted the civilian camp, and finally reached the point where basically every soldier had ten people.
Another third of a quarter later, groups of people came in sparsely.
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there will be no shore.
After the number exceeded several thousand, people seemed to be crowded and densely packed.
Fortunately, the terrain near where the troops stopped is open enough to accommodate so many people.
It took a long time for these five thousand people to line up and form a decent giant phalanx.
"The three orders are as follows: first, arrange them in order from lowest to highest; second, go straight forward, aligning the front and back; third, follow closely from the front and back.
Understand?"
Li Mengxi spoke to more than 5,000 people. He was small and his voice was not loud, so he looked very weak.
Later, Liu Bei saw Li Mengxi's voice was low and said, "Yide." Liu Bei touched Zhang Fei's arm.
Zhang Fei didn't move.
Liu Bei then muttered a few words to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei nodded.
"Three orders!" Zhang Fei shouted from behind.
When he opened his mouth, there was a sound like thunder, which startled Li Mengxi and he couldn't help but look back.
"In one order, they will be arranged in order of height!"
"Second orders, align front and back!"
"Three orders, follow closely!"
"Did you fucking understand?"
Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, and his roar was better than a loudspeaker. He roared several times, and all five thousand people could hear him clearly.
Zhang Fei actually helped in time, and Li Mengxi turned around and gently cupped his hands towards Zhang Fei as a thank you.
When he turned around again, Li Mengxi glanced at the huge crowd and said, "Let's start practicing!"
Li Mengxi ordered.
"Start training!"
The thunderous sound of the command frightened Li Mengxi again.
This sudden surprise can make a child cry.
The foundation of the rebel army is weak, there are not even enough qualified grassroots officers, and there is no way to train troops.
Li Mengxi didn't have any hope of what results would be achieved if the country warriors who had no experience in military training were allowed to train civilians.
As long as they don't walk like herding sheep and can move a little more uniformly, it will be enough to intimidate the enemy.
