Chapter 497: Teaching Team(1/2)
On the 20th, morning.
No matter what happened to Dong Zhuo's troops, the rebels still trained by themselves after dinner in the morning.
The rebels got up early. When the rooster crows, the whole camp of the rebels got up.
Therefore, after all units of the rebel army began to drill, Dong Zhuo's soldiers came out one after another.
Here, there was the sound of rebel troops training, and the yawning Dong Zhuo soldiers who got up late looked around curiously.
When the rebels heard the chicken dance, the whole army exuded a high-spirited and upward momentum, which made the officers and soldiers look askance.
Today we have a whole day free for military training. The whole process of military training starts from gathering and disbanding. Today is the second day of military training. Anyway, we have begun to practice alignment.
Li Mengxi gave the order early in the morning to practice gathering, disbanding, and aligning and counting today.
Especially the counting part, the sound is very noisy.
For one of the new recruit teams, the instructor first practiced group gathering and dispersion.
Even though they have practiced it many times, some people still forget where they stand.
The instructor looked at the old man staring in bewilderment and couldn't scold him. He could only think that he had placed the old man at the front of the row. He couldn't remember where he was standing in the middle. He could always remember standing at the front of the row.
Then, the recruit instructor frowned and thought for a long time. He was thinking about how to practice this alignment and counting.
After thinking for a moment, the recruit instructor remembered it, and then said to his recruits, "Let me tell you first, this is aligned."
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder of the leader of the queue and said, "This first person, when aligned, does not move.
Why doesn't it move? It doesn't move when it stands at attention, it doesn't move.
The head, hands, and neck cannot be moved anywhere.
When I say, align to the left, everyone in your row will look towards him, do you understand?"
The recruits all made it clear.
Then, the recruit instructor started practicing.
The instructor ordered, "Everyone listen to the order and look to the left - all together!"
Then, it was a mess.
Some of the new recruits moved their heads once and then stopped moving. They just looked at them for a moment.
The person at the head of the queue who shouldn't have moved his head also moved.
Also, most people only move their heads but not their feet.
At that time, too many problems occurred. After all, the recruit instructors had only undergone a hasty queue training, and the recruit instructors' own training level and personal abilities were not very high.
So many mistakes were made at the same time that the recruit instructors felt something was wrong but didn't know where to start.
After having a headache for a while, the recruit instructor opened his mouth and said, "With this strength, those at the front of the line, please remember that the person at the front of the line should not move. Wherever you look, the first person to move is the one who doesn't move."
After the explanation, the recruit instructor gave another order, "Everyone has it, look to the left - Qi!"
After the second order was issued, the effect was still poor.
This time, it seemed that the three people at the front of the queue knew not to move, but some of the people in the queue who were supposed to turn their heads and look to the left also stopped moving.
The recruit instructor was at a loss for words, so he patiently said, "...the people on the side don't move, but the people who aren't on the side do move!"
I explained it again, gave the order again, and gave the password for the third time.
When the command to move to the left is given, the person at the front of the queue does not move, and everyone else moves.
Ordinarily, it's reasonable.
But the recruit instructor thought it was very strange. What was wrong?
As soon as I thought about it, I understood, and with a command, I had to shake my head violently, with a little more momentum, slowly, like a bobblehead, which doesn't look right.
After figuring this out, the recruit instructor again told him to look to the left, and his head jerked to the left.
Next, the instructor gave the order to look to the left again.
Now, while they were practicing what was behind, the recruits had forgotten what was in front. The person at the front of the line shouldn't move, so the first person who looked to the left and was at the head of the line also shook his head violently.
The recruit instructors didn't know what to do.
Li Mengxi was standing by, watching the instructor busy and busy, talking for at least twenty minutes, and still couldn't explain the simple question of "looking to the left."
This must be a problem with the instructor's ability. The instructor's ability to express is insufficient. The instructor knows how to look to the left, but he just can't explain it clearly.
Seeing how difficult and unfamiliar the instructor's training was, Li Mengxi suddenly thought that there were major flaws in today's training methods.
There is a saying that if you have never eaten pork, you have never seen a pig run. On the contrary, as long as you see a pig, you will know how the pig runs.
Li Mengxi realized that the recruit instructors trained thirty people each, and the instructor alone demonstrated standing at attention, taking a rest, etc. Fortunately, one person could demonstrate "how pigs run."
But for things like turning left and aligning, the instructor can't demonstrate it alone. It's hard to explain the essentials of the movements in just a few words. After struggling for half an hour, it's better to watch the high-standard line turning left in person.
It’s easy to understand what alignment is like.
In other words, to teach formation movements, you must first let the recruits have an impression in their minds.
Now, there are tens of thousands of recruits, and most of them don't know what the formation looks like. If they are asked to align themselves, how will they know when to align themselves?
Li Mengxi felt that a team dedicated to conducting drills was needed.
We can call it a teaching team, a team teaching in line.
Li Mengxi decided to find some manpower. He didn't need many people, twenty veterans were enough.
But now, the people who know how to queue up are divided into carrots and pits, and it's hard to find just twenty people.
After much deliberation, Li Mengxi decided to stop the formation training of the [Riding], [Crossbow], and [Craftsman Camp] battalions first.
These cavalry soldiers, crossbowmen, and crossbowmen possess considerable combat effectiveness without training themselves.
Furthermore, cavalry soldiers can fight as soon as they mount their horses. A short period of formation training can hardly improve their combat capabilities.
For the crossbow team, there is no need to queue up for the time being. It is enough to be able to pick up the crossbows, stand in a row, and shoot at the enemy.
Also, what about blacksmiths, craftsmen, goldsmiths, and shipbuilders? Even if these craftsmen could be trained to have combat effectiveness, Li Mengxi would not be willing to waste these precious craftsmen.
Unlike cavalry soldiers, civilian soldiers and the like must form a queue first if they want to have combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Li Mengxi believed that it would be okay to temporarily suspend the formation training of cavalry soldiers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And if the queue training of recruits is stopped, the recruit team that stopped training will not be able to form combat effectiveness.
So, Li Mengxi went to the non-staff cavalry, crossbow, and jumping teams, and assigned twenty instructors to each team.
These twenty people are all the first batch of Qingjin soldiers, and they all have training experience. Such a group of veterans is perfect for the training team.
With the instructors removed, the teams on the crossbow and jumping teams were no longer able to conduct formation training. Li Mengxi asked them to practice fighting skills and archery skills. In short, time is precious, so don't be idle.
Li Mengxi ordered the 20 people from the teaching team to form two horizontal lines, then gathered and dispersed, and then aligned themselves left and right to report the numbers.
The twenty veterans in blue scarves performed the tasks in line, smoothly, neatly and neatly. Especially when reporting the numbers, their voices were loud and powerful.
With a teaching team of twenty people, Li Mengxi started from the far left corner, starting from the rat-fighting team.
Call Dou 1, Dou 2, Dou 3, and Dou 4. Call the four recruit teams together and form a circle. The front row squats down, the middle row bends down, and the back row stands. No one is blocking anyone. Get ready.
Watch the training team training.
Because today during the day we will practice the movements of assembling, disbanding, aligning and aligning, and the teaching team is only one team. In order to save time, we will not demonstrate the subsequent queue movements. We will only demonstrate the movements of assembling, disbanding, aligning and aligning.
Four teams of new recruits, a total of 120 people, watched.
"Everything is there -" Li Mengxi ordered the teaching team on the field, "Disband!"
With a crash, the teaching team dispersed.
"Gather!" Li Mengxi ordered again.
The teaching team that had just been disbanded quickly gathered again.
In the blink of an eye, they formed two teams.
“Everyone is there—look to the left—all together!”
As soon as the last word of "Qi" fell, as the recruits saw, the teaching team consisted of twenty people, two rows before and after. Except for the leader who stood at attention, the other nine people in one row and eighteen people in two rows suddenly turned their heads to the left.
.
At the same time, the person who is looking to the left still keeps his upper body upright and moves quickly with small steps under his feet.
In order to let the recruits watch for a while, Li Mengxi hesitated to give the order to look forward.
The recruits saw that the small steps of the teaching team kept going without stopping.
"Forward—look!"
As soon as the last sound of the watch fell, and with a flick of the brush, the teaching team stopped walking, shook their heads sharply, and suddenly established a straight posture.
Li Mengxi looked around and saw that the ranks of the veterans were quite good and neat.
"Align the front and back!" Li Mengxi gave another order.
People are arranged in two rows. When it comes to front-to-back alignment, it means that the people in the back row are aligned with the people in the front row.
