Chapter 449 Chapter 452 Leadership Training (Part 1)

"Work hard! Work hard! You're welcome, I overtaken ha..."

Dagon used his "wolf rushing hog" skills on the streets of Jiangu City to quickly catch up and overtake those who were testing in front of him, constantly increasing the pressure on those who were ahead. Loading, climbing, getting up quickly, holding the gun steady... One test after another stopped on the road, and then was solved one by one.

His final result was thirty-sixth, the first thirty-five people cheering excitedly, and the last two hundred people cast envious glances at them. Dagon bumped fists with them one by one, and divided the blessing ceremony into four days, ten people a day, and the top five got one day.

"My spell ability can't hold up too much incantation at one time." Dagon said to them: "Remember in the vanguard: the strength of the individual is limited, we must rely on the strength of the collective."

Collective strength, this is the focus of the education of the Vanguard Army, and it is also the biggest difference between it and other armies. Other armies use the martial power of the Knight and the incantation of the mage as the skeleton. The trained servants of the Knight support the most important action muscles, while the conscripts and militia, which account for the largest number, are only skins, harvesting with the wind and taking their own life when the wind is headed. Cushioning, so that Knights with war horses can successfully retreat successfully.

In the past, the martial arts Jiangu clansman was more average than the human Knight's army in terms of the composition of the army's battle strength, and there was no phenomenon of "removing the lead", but this good tradition has not fallen in the near future. Gradually develop towards the direction of human beings focusing on individual heroes. For example, the Wind Chasers, including Dagon, have strong personal battle strength, but because they were able to get elite-level body and martial skill training since childhood, they "deliberately" opened the gap.

This is going to end with the vanguard. In the direction the musket is aimed at, the martial skill that has been trained since childhood has become a skill that is worth the loss, half the results for twice the effort. Only the unified, specialized, and critically equal training of the army can form battle strength. According to Dagon's words: "In the past, weapon masters could form an overwhelming battle strength advantage on the battlefield, and that era is gone forever. There are no need for many people on the opposite side, three pioneer army soldiers with muskets, I have to Surrender. They will be even more powerful than the Spirit King's own troops."

This is only said within the Wind Chaser Group, but I don't dare to publicize it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Dagon said this mainly to make the uncles of the Wind Chaser Regiment pay attention, not only to stay on the successful experience in the past, but also to strengthen the training of musketeers. Especially Anders Wright, with such a big belly, such broad shoulders, and a large impact area, he was killed by a shotgun. If he wants to go to the battlefield, he has to lose weight. Although the enemy does not have a musket, there is something called a stray bullet.

The selection of 240 members of the Vanguard Army has been completed, and the remaining 60 people remain in the barracks voluntarily, doing some auxiliary work and waiting for the next assessment when the Vanguard Army expands its scale. Chance. Dagon comforted them, Thohens criticized them, and the tacit cooperation of the two made the losers at this time full of fighting spirit again to pass the next test.

Now that the army has been formed, a new formal training program has begun, the core of which is musket shooting. This is a powerful weapon never seen before by ordinary Jiangu clansman, "the ultimate replacement for the heavy crossbow", and requires every warrior to treat with caution.

240 men were divided into 24 squads, six squads formed a platoon, a total of four combat platoons, plus a reserve platoon of 60 men, five platoons formed a company , also known as a company. At present, there is only one company in the Pioneer Army. All the members of the Wind Chasing Hunter Group have invested in enriching the command of the company at all levels. Up to Dagon, down to the ordinary soldiers in the reserve platoon, in fact, everyone is trying to figure out how to manage and operate an army mainly based on muskets, especially compared with the cold weapon army, what tasks can be omitted, some which must be added.

"Everyone must study hard, because you will all have the opportunity to become officers in the future." Dagon said to them: "We are the first batch of fire, and in the future will become piles of bonfires for This world provides light. You have fewer people now, and I can devote more energy to each of you, so please don't let down my expectations and Oli's expectations."

This sentence if For other priests, there is a high probability that it is a blasphemous sentence: How dare you mention on equal terms with Ori? But Dagon's situation is special. He did talk with Oli relatively eloquently, and shared the opinion that his status is different from others. So from the moment Dagon and Ori's expectations came to the Vanguard, everyone in the Vanguard felt pressured and excited, could they not train with their lives?
It's no exaggeration to say "training with your life", because the current training really has mortal danger. Firearms misfire, non-compliant operations, paralysis... These situations may pose a threat to one's own and others' lives, and this threat is much greater than that of the lance and sword era. Two people were hit on the first day of training. Fortunately, it was training ammunition, which only caused penetrating injuries. Six servant priests - now called medics - provided very timely treatment, and both of them were fine, and they were able to recover initially after a few days of rest.

Tohens flies into a rage about this phenomenon, he called all twenty-four class leaders and trained for more than an hour. Although he was preaching in a separate room, his voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly outside. "Any negligence is irresponsible for the lives of compatriots and comrades in arms. If you don't strain your nerves, it may be you who will be collapsed next time!" , When carrying the gun, the muzzle should be facing upwards and cannot face the ground, because the ricocheting bullet still has lethality after it smashes on the ground. The action of shooting and troubleshooting must be absolutely skilled, and it is best not to make mistakes when sleepwalking. In particular, the mistake of loading double ammunition cannot occur. The consequence of adding double ammunition to the shotgun is to break the head.

"One shot went down" is a term newly coined by the Vanguard when Dagon showed them the power of a musket by dragging a wild boar, which struggled and jumped because it was so lively. , hence the provisional name Bounce. Dagon picked up the dwarf boy and shot down, and he couldn't get up. Its four feet trembled, and soon breathed one's last. Because "foot" is useless any more, if you remove the foot, it will collapse, so this process is called "one-shot collapse".

"Be careful, don't be blown away!"

The warriors reminded each other every day, not only paying attention to themselves but also the actions of those around them. Where is the muzzle facing, whether the action is standardized, and whether the insurance is attached. Although bullets and guns are only issued during actual shooting training, and the guns that everyone holds every day cannot be fired, but Thohens's words are firmly remembered by everyone: don't form a habit in peacetime, wait for an accident Do you expect yourself to be able to dodge?
The truth is clear: no one can escape. At present, the only way for the ordinary person to fight the musket is to find a cover, and the sorcerer's method of protecting the musket is still under study. Shirouai and Professor Dongdong have found several spell shields similar to bunkers, but the power of the musket increases much faster than the research speed of the shield. The power of incantation is not enough now. If there is no breakthrough, it will definitely be crushed in the future.

Professor Dongdong expressed concern in this regard, believing that if a suitable solution cannot be found, anyone will be in danger. He was worried about the safety of Dagon, his own safety, the safety of the mages, and the safety of the ordinary person.

"No one can afford to be shot by a musket." Professor Dongdong said, "Even if there is no death on the spot, they will basically lose their ability to resist, and the interval between the second firing will not exceed half a minute. "

"If you're skilled, you can fire again in five seconds," Dagon said. "Professor, you don't have to worry too much. The musket just pulls everyone back to civilian level. Aren't civilians without armor and training just as vulnerable to crossbows? It's just that Knights have armor and mages have shields, as if they have some kind of privilege."

"Every time you say When it comes to privilege, it’s generally not a good word.” Professor Dongdong said, “I carefully read your two thought books, which clearly states that you cannot get rid of the innate oppression without breaking the innate privilege. So when you're talking about privilege, you must be trying to overturn it."

"If you want to prevent the threat of muskets, you have to make everyone feel safe, and then complement it with strong management and control measures, you can't Let this thing run around." Dagon said: "If everyone needs a gun, it means that no one feels safe, then as a lord who has sworn to protect his people and provide safety, that is incompetence and oath breaking. There is another meaning: if I can protect myself with a gun, what do I need the lord to do?"

"You're talking about this Interesting." Professor Dongdong eyes shined and said, "Maybe this is a A logical entry point for abolishing the bloodline legacy."

"Huh? I didn't say that..." Dagon hurriedly explained. But Professor Dongdong just smiled and put on an expression of "I don't know you yet".

Let's get down to business, the shooting training has started, and every day all the gunfire will be heard from the vanguard camp, which makes the residents of Chiling City tremble. The most affected are the animals in the city, including Star Helmet, they have all learned the skill of fleeing and hiding as soon as they hear a gunshot. At the same time, with the large-scale use of firearms and the activities of Dagon and Thohens in the soldiers to "summarize experience, ask questions, and learn from each other", many opinions and suggestions on the design and use of firearms with great reference value were adopted. Discovered, immediately received the attention of the commanders.

Some of these suggestions were implemented immediately and featured in the training code. The person who suggested improvement is also recorded, and his name is annotated at the bottom of the training book page, along with awards. Rewards include but are not limited to gold coin, blessing of diving technique and public praise. Anyway, how the heroic Knights were treated in the past, these people are treated the same way. For a time, the vanguard's morale was high, and the enthusiasm for learning and training broke out. Their improvement in shooting performance and tactical movements was far greater than expected. Even the always cautious Tohens felt that the vanguard had initially prepared battle strength.

The goal of the next battle has been determined, but the time has not yet come, so the vanguard cannot attack yet. On the one hand, the reserve of combat materials such as bullets still takes time. Having money does not mean that there will be enough production capacity, not to mention that money is not abundant in the first place. On the other hand, the vanguard needs to avoid the rainy season in the north, and it is best to be dispatched in late summer and early autumn, which can reduce the risk.

"The Vanguard is a pure musket army, and they don't have time to train traditional cold weapon skills. If the muskets don't fire, they'll turn into a little faster sheep." Dagon told Tuo Hunts said: "If the tactical action related to shooting is already good, then add some training to the action of stabbing and stabbing. Last time, the suggestion of hanging a dagger in front of the muzzle was very good, and the craftsmen have built it that can be hung up. The dagger."

"Oh? Let me see."

Thorhens is in charge of the training of the vanguard, and he is a particularly caring person, so when he saw Dagon The long dagger he took out made his eyes straight. With his familiarity with the structure of the musket, he immediately knew how to use this long dagger: "The front ring is on the muzzle, and the back is a clamping device, right? Yes, it can be placed just in front of the support hand, where it can be clamped. Tight... With this kind of design, it's not a big problem to move back and forth, right?"

"Yes, your eyes are very sharp, and this problem does exist. The original battle skill of daggers Actions include stabbing, slashing, dragging and cutting, and if you add the rotation of the wrist, you can also twist, don't...etc. Putting it in front of the musket leaves only the stabbing, and other actions are awkward - although it is not impossible to do it. "

Tohens raised his eyebrows: "Can you do it? Let me see."

Dagon picked up the dwarf boy, loaded the dagger, and immediately demonstrated to Tohens once again. "Have you seen it? Although it can be done, the requirements for the martial skill are very high. I even used part of the movement method of the elf curse sword, so that I can barely make the original dagger battle skill."

"Indeed, indeed." Thorhens recalled the action just now, and said: "You can do it because of the training of the weapon master and the skill of the cursed sword, which cannot be popularized among ordinary soldiers. Dagon, since the dagger does not It's easy to use, just use the lance battle skill to get it."

"Yes! I think so too!" Dagon smiled and said, "I have asked the craftsmen of Chiling City to change it. , also uses such a hoop and buckle design, but the root armor piercing cone, that is, a thorn, makes the whole weapon look like a lance or a Knight gun. Exactly, it was originally a musket, but now it really deserves the word gun Go on."

"Well...the long-handled weapon was originally the best choice on the battlefield. By combining the musket with the long spear through the plug-in, the battle strength of this thing is even more improved. You just mentioned that Have you already thought about tactical moves?"

"It may also be a coincidence. I used to design a shield and spear combined with a martial skill for my friends in the pothole group when I was in the elite Academy. The movements are simple and easy to learn. As long as you improve it, you can use it in stabs. Give me two days to think about it, and I will discuss it with my dad, and then teach it as an additional lesson to the soldiers.”

"Dagon, I have a suggestion: this time you teach yourself." Tohens said: "Both of you father and son have martial skills at the level of weapon masters, which will increase everyone's confidence in battle. You also know that on the battlefield, the side with more confidence often wins and survives, which is crucial."

Dagon nods. This requirement is not at all excessive, and Tohens also wants to increase his prestige among the soldiers, unite unity, obedience and battle strength. So, after two days and two nights of sparring between the two weapon masters—by the way, Tormund first practiced the martial skill every day all, and after recovering his health, he was very happy—the first version of the spear stab martial skill was interviewed. .

"What's the most powerful weapon on the battlefield? That's inconclusive. But what's the most powerful single-player weapon? Cut out the musket we're using, and that's the long spear." Dagon generals the soldiers Get together and use the dive technique to raise your voice in order to teach them all.

"In terms of attack speed, two-handed weapons are the fastest; in terms of defensive power, swords and shields are the best; in terms of win rate and kill rate against the enemy, long spear and all kinds of polearms are the best. . If you train hard and have enough skills, the longer the weapon, the better. Formation, one-on-one, long-handled is the best, and the worst case for long-handled is one-to-many and being besieged. So here In this case, the users of the polearms are best to form a formation to cover each other."

"There is no Suicide Squad in the vanguard, and there is no need for someone to rush into the gap of the enemy line with a two-handed weapon and keep spinning and chopping. Cut. Remember, when you can use a musket, use it! Hit the armored ones first, those are often the Knights, the commanders, and the core of the enemy's battle strength. The next stabbing technique is when there are no bullets, Or it is too late to use the techniques used in emergency situations such as bullets. The vanguard is not allowed to give priority to stabbing, and the vanguard requires priority to shoot to kill."

"The technology of stabbing is very simple, there are only four types: progressive stabbing. Dagon beckons with the hand, let Thohens be opposite him, and then said to the crowd: "I will demonstrate these four movements, first beat Thohens By the way, anyone who is interested can come up in a while. Whatever cold weapon tricks you use, I will show you how to deal with it. Hey, don't get so excited right away, just widen your eyes and see how I do it. , trying to remember every word I said. The first action, progressing thorns..."
