Chapter 144 Wounded Soldiers, Training Recruits
Guan Ning sighed again, and said with a sad face:

"Eunuch Yuan, you are His Majesty's man, so I won't hide it from you.

The Tartars suddenly invaded last year, but they really caught us off guard.

Except for those of us from the old guard battalion who came from the capital with the prince, most of you are new recruits from the local area, although there are daily trainings.

But those who have never been on the battlefield and never seen blood are always recruits!
When I saw the Tartar army for the first time, I don’t know how many people panicked, and they couldn’t even hold their weapons steadily. If it weren’t for the support of us veterans, let alone repelling the Tartars, I am afraid that they would be directly defeated in the first battle. The Tartars were all killed.

Later, after many battles, the recruits saw the blood and transformed into veterans, and then the elite, but what they paid in the process was that countless recruits died in the battle.

After the last battle, there were less than 500 people in our entire guard battalion intact, all of them were elites, but more of them were wounded soldiers. Those who were seriously injured were already dead, but those who were slightly injured and disabled were not counted. number.

Now my guards are seriously short of manpower, so I sent those elites transformed from the bloody battle with the Tartars to guard the camp.
As for things like guarding the city gate, they can only be done by some disabled soldiers who are no longer seriously ill.

This is also to find a way out for them, after all, they no longer have the ability to continue on the battlefield. "

After listening to Guan Ning's words, everyone was silent. They knew that it would cost a lot to let the guard battalion, which was mostly recruits, repel the Tartar designation, but they didn't expect it to be so heavy that they could only take The elite came out to guard the camp gate.

This is the extent to which soldiers are scarce!
"Commander Guan, didn't you Yunzhou County already gather a large number of refugees from the pass?
The missing soldiers in the army have not been filled? "

Guan Ning sighed again, and Yuan Lijie, who heard it straight away, was flustered, why is he sighing all the time!

Every time you sigh, there is no good news, what a bad luck!

"Eunuch Yuan, the training of a new soldier is not that simple. If you want to train a good soldier, you must choose the right young and strong when selecting the source of soldiers, so that you can train a good soldier.

Secondly, each recruit consumes the most when they enter the camp for recruit training. At this time, their physical fitness can't keep up at all. In addition, this group is selected from refugees, and their physical foundation is already poor. They are also malnourished, and it will take a while to replenish their bodies, so how can it be used so quickly.

Now they have just started training, and they can't afford the pressure and situation that the guards are facing now and the defense of Yunzhou City. "

After speaking, Guan Ning walked out of the tent, and motioned to Yuan Lijie and others to follow, and everyone hurriedly followed up and went out of the tent one after another. Only Gu Tingyun carefully looked at the wounded soldiers in the camp before leaving the tent. They were all real wounded soldiers, and there was no camouflage, so they quickly followed the team and walked out of the tent.

Walking outside, the smell of the potion that had been lingering on the tip of the nose just now was much less, even the wailing in the camp was not as clear as before, and the atmosphere was not as depressing as in the tent.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere in the military tent just now really made them breathless.

"Commander Guan, where are we going?"

Yuan Lijie asked suspiciously while following Guan Ning.

Guan Ning pointed to the front and said, "Aren't you curious about the recruits?
Not far ahead is the place where the recruits train daily. At this point they should be standing in a military posture. Let's go and have a look. "

After speaking, Guan Ning strode forward, and Yuan Lijie and his party hurriedly followed.

After a while, everyone saw a square not far ahead, where hundreds of thin and thin recruits were standing.

That's right, they were standing, but they were standing crookedly, and from time to time there would be veterans full of toughness with riding whips in their hands, and recruits who were in wrong postures.

Even so, there are not many recruits who can do it right.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Lijie asked Guan Ning:
"Commander Guan, why is this? Why do you let the recruits stand here one by one, and there are still some posture requirements, and if they don't meet the standard, they will be smoked?

What is the use of this military posture? "

Facing Yuan Lijie's doubts, Guan Ning explained: "At first, the general didn't understand why the lord had to let these recruits stand in a military posture for a few days. I think it's better to teach them how to fight stabs if you have this time, instead of being stupid. Stupidly stay where you are.

But later on the battlefield, the last general realized how important this military posture is! "

Guan Ning's eyes fell into memories.

Before, we didn’t quite understand the military posture. Later, when the large-scale cavalry of the Tartars rushed in, they acted like uniform soldiers under the orders of commanders at all levels. We realized how serious the military posture is. important.

According to the prince, this is not only the basis for some military training, but also can greatly improve the willpower of the soldiers and temper their resilience, so that no matter what the situation, as long as the officer gives an order, they can do it without hesitation. Follow orders and make corresponding actions to fight the enemy.

After a long time, such a soldier will gradually form some kind of muscle memory. As long as he gives an order, his body will obey the order subconsciously before he can react.

Even if he panics on the battlefield, under the subconscious control of his body, he will respond accurately to the officer's order, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army and reduce the difficulty of command.

Our guards, who are inferior to the Tartars in hard power, rely on the willpower cultivated by standing in the military posture. Even though the recruits are extremely afraid, when the military order comes, they will still respond without hesitation. Drive the Tartars back.

"hiss!"

Even though Yuan Lijie is not a soldier, nor has he ever been a soldier, but just listening to it is shocking. Just a military posture can have such a big effect?

But Gu Tingyun behind him is from the real army, and he was transferred from the imperial army to the military attache of the Imperial City Division. He knew it should be true as soon as he heard it. Looking at those in front of him who were getting more and more proficient and standard under the training of veterans recruits.

Gu Tingyun knew that this was probably the reason why the guards were able to defend Yunzhou County. Otherwise, it would not explain why the feudal king's guards, which consisted of only [-] elite frontier troops and a large number of recruits, were able to defend the entire Yunzhou under the attack of the Tartars. The county can also drive the Tartars out!

Even if the damage is heavy, the gap in combat effectiveness between the troops is there, and the guards can't do it even if they die!
Thinking of this, Gu Tingyun's eyes were fixed on the movements of the veterans who were training recruits ahead, and he listened to their teachings.

He wants to secretly learn this training method, and try to train the subordinates of the Imperial City Division when he goes back.

You must know that although it is just a small military posture, this has now involved military training methods.

But now the methods of military training are all secrets passed down from generation to generation. It is an inheritance that is not passed on from every general's family, and it cannot be learned by outsiders.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to learn today, what luck!

I don't know where King Yun got the method of training soldiers, luck is really good.

Gu Tingyun did not believe that King Yun, who had almost no presence in Bianjing before, would create such a method of training soldiers. This must have been obtained accidentally by chance.

What luck!
Gu Tingyun is both envious and emotional!
