Chapter 30 Training 2
As soon as Jia Ke thought of a way, he immediately implemented it. He asked people to find strips of cloth and tie them on the left arm of each soldier to mark them.
After training on turning left and right, the situation immediately improved. Although some people still made mistakes, most people could already distinguish left and right.
In the next few days, the training of the Guards Corps progressed rapidly, and they were able to synchronize during the formation exercises. The goal of folding quilts was also achieved. When you wake up in the morning, you can see that the barracks are neat and clean, things are neatly packed, and the bed
The quilt was placed there like tofu cubes.
After completing the formation training, Jia Ke began to conduct formation walking training. This is the most important thing. In modern times, walking in formation is only shown during military parades. During war, no one foolishly charges in formation, but in ancient times, it was
It’s different. Advancing in formation is the basis of the formation. On the ancient battlefield, if the formation advances for a certain distance, the formation will be scattered, and the entire formation will have to stop again. Otherwise, it will be easily defeated by the enemy. Especially if the opponent is cavalry, if
If one's own formation is complete, it can effectively fight against the cavalry and cause a large number of casualties. If the formation is scattered, it will be defeated by the cavalry. Therefore, marching in formation was very important in ancient times.
Jia Ke divided the marching queue into categories. The basic marching steps are divided into step, forward step and running. The auxiliary steps are divided into step, step and shift.
Queue training is the most difficult. Only after passing this level can the Guards Corps look a little like an army.
During this period, Jia Ke conducted strict drills for the Guards Corps, including the marching and turning of the team, etc. The specific form was similar to today, but if you turned in the wrong direction or walked into the wrong queue, you would not just be pulled out and punished to stand.
, that's for beating. This is the first time Jia Ke has given corporal punishment to the Guards. And after the beating, there is no infirmary for you to go to, so you have to continue practicing.
In the days that followed, the Guards trained under the cruel environment arranged by Jia Ke. The appearance of the Guards was completely new, and the individual seemed to be a completely different person.
The guard team can continuously change the formation during the formation practice. Such as circle, semicircle, triangle, square, figure-eight, and cross. The whole team is like one person, and the movements are uniform.
A month has passed, but for the Guards, it is a completely new one. This month has promoted the formation of good habits of the Guards! It has improved the awareness of teamwork, exercised the self-discipline of the team, and improved the team's
The ability to cooperate has honed the willpower of the Janissaries.
If the former Janissaries were considered elite, then the current Janissaries are the elite among the elite. To the current Janissaries, the former Janissaries were nothing but the masses, vulnerable to a single blow.
Jia Ke also selected the captain from the Guards Corps, Liu Yu, the grandson of Old Man Liu. Although Liu Yu is a bit straightforward, this character is an advantage for the captain of the Guards Corps. Jia Ke believes that the Guards Corps does not need to be flexible.
It would be great if he is changeable and can execute Jia Ke's orders meticulously.
After more than a month of training, the current Guards Corps has been firmly marked with Jia Ke's brand. Jia Ke's authority has reached its peak, so Jia Ke is no longer afraid of the threat from Old Man Liu and the others. Instead, Jia Ke will let
These veterans were invited back to teach the janissaries how to kill the enemy.
When Old Man Liu and others returned to the Guards Corps, they were stunned. Is this still the Guards Corps they had led?
I can see that the current Guardsmen are following orders and prohibitions, their posture is correct, their spirits are high, every movement is quick, accurate, and coordinated, their queues are neat and quiet, and they can consciously use the learned queue movements in training, duty and daily life.
in life.
After reading it, Old Man Liu sighed: "No elite in the world can be better than this." From then on, he completely admired Jia Ke.
In the days that followed, Jia Ke, with the help of Old Man Liu and other veterans, began to train the Guards in martial arts. All of them were for actual combat, and there was no show of tricks. The veterans imparted all their battlefield experience to the Guards.
Jia Ke conducts regular assessments on the Guards Team, and the assessment method is actual combat. The rules are as follows: If the two sides fight, if you win, you will be promoted, and you will be rewarded with one point for the upgrade. If you lose, you will be demoted, and you will be demoted by one point.
Level five strikes.
This is embarrassing. The rule can be simply summarized as: If you don’t hit me, I will hit you. Anyway, if you can’t beat your comrades, you will be beaten by Jia Ke. You will get beaten anyway. It’s better to beat your comrades desperately and earn some pocket money by the way.
money.
Therefore, under this almost inhumane training method, the recruits lived in dire straits and suffered bruises every day. However, it was in this cruel environment that they developed extraordinary martial arts skills and achieved extraordinary careers in the future.
For this special force, people in later generations have a popular name: Jia Jiajun.
The training methods of the Jia Jiajun have also become the tradition of the Jia Jiajun. When new recruits arrive, they fold quilts, stand in military postures, walk in formation, and then practice martial arts.
Just when everyone thought that the training of the Guards had been completed, Jia Ke started another training, formation training. And Jia Ke was not training ancient Chinese formations, but very simple and practical ancient European ones.
Macedonian phalanx.
The Macedonian phalanx has a large distance between soldiers. The Macedonian spear is usually held 3 to 6 feet (6-7 meters) away from the handle end. The spearheads of the 4 to 6 rows of soldiers at the head of the phalanx are aligned.
The postures of the soldiers in the front and rear rows holding spears are either slanted or perpendicular to the ground. The first three people and the last person in each column belong to key positions, so brave and skilled soldiers are selected. During combat,
, the entire phalanx often runs forward in a solid, dense formation, like a battering ram slamming into the enemy's team. They mainly rely on the dense formation and smooth access to the opponent's weapons to protect their own safety, because there are few
There are enemies who can rush through layers of guns to kill them.
It’s not that Jia Ke worships foreigners, but that most of the ancient Chinese formations are comprehensive and use a wide variety of weapons. In the court law, there is a stipulation that “in the homes of common people, no private weapons are allowed”. Jia Ke is now
Don't dare to offend. Therefore, other ancient formations are not suitable for today's soldiers. When there are no other weapons, bamboo poles can only be used instead of spears, and the simplest but most powerful Macedonian phalanx can be used.
When we practiced the Macedonian phalanx again, the effect of marching in formations we had trained before showed its effect. The janissaries moved forward slowly with their bamboo spears in hand. The formations were neat and the pace was good. It soon became interesting to practice.
It only took more than a month for the Janissaries to practice the Macedonian Phalanx from advancing slowly at first, to advancing quickly, and then to running. It can be said that the progress was rapid.
Old Man Liu and other veterans thought that it was enough. The Guards were ready to go to the battlefield, and they could win even if they faced off against the elite cavalry of the prairie barbarians.
But Jia Ke believes that there is still one missing piece of training, and that is courage training. Although the Guards Corps has undergone rigorous training, they still have not seen blood. They may run away on the battlefield because they are afraid of running away, which can easily cause a chain reaction.
, causing the army to collapse, so at the end of the training Jia Ke decided to let the soldiers see blood, but since they couldn't kill people, they could only kill pigs.
As a result, from the second day onwards, a pig was driven into the camp every day. Starting from the first team, there was one pig every day. No one could pull it down. Everyone had to stab the pig a few times, otherwise they would fail and come back the next day.
Until the task is completed.
