At this time, Zhao Haiping was walking in the military camp to check on the soldiers' drills.

Soldiers using various weapons stood in square formations on the school field and practiced the tactics of these weapons.

The categories of these weapons, as well as the specific training methods, were of course planned by General Deng. Most of them were based on the moves used by General Deng in later training. At the same time, specific arrangements were also made for the Jin people's heavy cavalry.

.

After all, General Deng's enemies were mainly Dongyi bandits and Northern Barbarian cavalry. In that era, it was rare to encounter heavy cavalry like Tiefu Tu.

But the reason why General Deng was a military strategist of the generation was because he was best at changing training and combat methods according to the actual conditions on the battlefield, adapting measures to local conditions, the time, and people, and he could always find the best way to break the situation.

For example, at this time, General Deng asked Zhao Haiping to focus on strengthening the training of cavalry weapons such as axes, mazha knives, shields, and divine arm bows.

Rows of soldiers lined up neatly in square formations, each performing various postures according to the slogans shouted by their instructors.

After quickly correcting a few inaccurate movements, these instructors continued to shout the next slogan and practice the next posture.

Zhao Haiping, together with General Deng Yuanjing, rode a war horse and constantly walked around the school grounds and military camps, inspecting and ensuring that the entire training process was implemented to the letter as planned.

Through Zhao Haiping's unremitting efforts, the current military training has actually entered the third stage.

The first stage is to select people.

From a large number of redundant soldiers, those who are suitable for serving as soldiers and have combat effectiveness will be selected separately and uniformly trained. Others who have weaker combat effectiveness or have too bad habits will be trained separately. If some of them are outstanding in the assessment, they will be trained separately.

Can be promoted again.

At the same time, the selected people were screened layer by layer, and based on General Deng's unique set of evaluation methods, they were broken up and reorganized so that those who were more suitable could serve as grassroots officers.

The officers at the grassroots level then select people layer by layer to organize the structure of the entire army.

According to General Deng, the reason why these grassroots officers must choose their own personnel is not only to strengthen the cohesion of this combat unit, but also to prevent these grassroots officers from being able to shirk the blame when they encounter problems.

After all, people make their own choices, so if your subordinates make mistakes and you are punished, you have nothing to defend yourself from.

The second stage is to distribute the military manual to each corps commander, commander, and captain, and ask them to teach all the contents to the soldiers carefully to ensure that every soldier can memorize it.

Among them, the main ones are how to perform flags and musical instruments.

For example, which direction does each color of the five-square flag correspond to, which level of generals do flags of different shapes represent, and what do different flag orders mean?

For another example, what do different musical instruments such as drums, cymbals, and suona mean when they are played under different circumstances?

Zhao Haiping specially arranged some people to randomly check these contents in various military camps. Those who cannot memorize them after a long time will be punished. As for junior officers such as corps commanders, chiefs, captains, etc., if their subordinates cannot memorize them, they will be punished.

If there are too many, you will also be punished.

Only after several large-scale drills have been conducted to ensure that most people can accurately take corresponding actions according to the sound of the drums can the third stage of military training be entered.

The third stage is to practice specific weapons.

Of course, military training also included this link, but in General Deng's view, it was full of fallacies.

For example, how to practice spears.

The previous gun and stick instructors in the army basically taught some martial arts marksmanship.

For example, the middle part of the gun is held in both hands, and the moves include many flashy movements such as dodges, jumps, turns, and stabbings.

This style of fighting is really useful when fighting alone in the arena. A good gunman can keep seven or eight ordinary people at bay.

This is the meaning of the so-called "twenty years of pear blossom gun, invincible in the world".

The marksmanship in the martial arts world naturally has its merits, but if it is applied mechanically to the military formation, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The two armies fought in a tight formation, with rows of spears stabbing each other and rows of long knives slashing at them. The soldiers on both sides were very close to each other, leaving no room for them to move or move.

In this case, if my gun is one foot longer than yours, I will be able to stab you first, but you will never be able to stab me;

As long as I can practice stabbing to perfection, no matter how you move around, you will still be stabbed to death by random shots.

Therefore, General Deng also made drastic innovations in the training methods of these weapons. All that were retained were the most practical techniques in military formations, such as thrusting, retreating to retract the gun, dialing, and pressing the opponent's gun body.

etc.

Soldiers who use long guns undergo these special trainings every day.

In addition, General Deng also has great experience in the training of shield soldiers.

In addition to the daily practice of various moves, shield soldiers also have a very important training item, that is, no matter what happens during the battle, they are absolutely not allowed to raise their heads.

As soon as the commander gives an order, these soldiers must immediately raise their shields to protect their heads and faces. At the same time, they can only move forward, not backward, and can only lower their heads, not raise their heads.

This is General Deng's strategy when using shields, but in fact, the origin of this strategy comes from General Han Fuyue's strategy of defeating the Iron Buddha Tower.

When General Han destroyed the Iron Pagoda, he asked these soldiers to rush into the Iron Pagoda formation with shields in hand. They would never raise their heads to look, but just lower their heads. If there were horse legs, they would chop off the horse's legs. If there were no horse legs, they would chop off the human legs.

And now, the advanced experience summarized by General Deng has traveled through time and space and is once again used on the battlefield against Iron Buddha.

In addition, Zhao Haiping, under the guidance of General Deng, formulated different training methods and assessment standards for axes, long knives, divine arm bows and other weapons.

There are very clear rules even for how to judge and feed military horses.

Zhao Haiping also asked General Deng Yuanjing how long it would take to build a strong army.

General Deng Yuanjing's answer was: After practicing all kinds of weapons proficiently, half of the work is done.

After that, there are probably three stages.

The fourth stage is to train various formations against the enemy, so that the soldiers can still maintain the ability to maintain the formation in the melee; the fifth stage is to clarify various details during the march, and the soldiers must eat, drink and eat according to certain rules.

The rules; the sixth stage is to practice in advance various situations encountered in actual combat.

And after all these are completed, this army will truly have combat effectiveness.

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed a famous general throughout the ages.

This method of military training is simply meticulous.

In fact, before this, Zhao Haiping did not have a clear concept of "troop training".

Although he has played the role of a soldier many times and conducted some drills that he considered meaningless and far less effective than actual combat, he never had a complete and clear understanding of these specific training items.

Now he discovered that the training of soldiers in ancient times actually has something in common with the military training that many modern students have experienced.

This is actually normal, because military training is originally the result of simplified training methods of the modern army.

As an ancient general who is closest to modern military thought, General Deng's training methods must be very close to modern training methods.

If Zhao Haiping's biggest emotion about General Deng's military training method is that it is "detailed"!

Meticulous.

Other military books often elaborate more on the thoughts of war. For example, what situations can be fought and what situations cannot be fought, and they tend to be more of a high-level thing.

This type of military book is actually aimed at generals who already have extensive military experience and have a deep understanding of the basic principles of marching and fighting.

But if you are a person who has never understood the military affairs, you will be confused when you see these military books.

It is like reading some advanced philosophical books before even establishing the most basic philosophical concepts.

But General Deng's tactics of war were different.

General Deng Yuanjing paid the most attention to these details. His art of war was not intended for famous generals who already had a lot of experience at the grassroots level, but for those who did not understand military matters at all to understand and follow them.

The specific shape and usage of a certain weapon, and even the details of how this weapon is considered qualified, how it is considered inferior, how it should be used, etc. are all clearly explained.

Even during the march, the soldiers were clearly told how far away they had to dig a toilet and how to bury it while walking.

This kind of military training method is exactly the most suitable for Zhao Haiping and the Qi Dynasty's army.

What's the problem with Qi Dynasty's army?

Is there something wrong with the general's command? The general doesn't understand the art of war?

of course not.

The Qi Dynasty had no shortage of famous generals, but every time they fought, the camp would be blown up in an instant, and tens of thousands of people would run away.

In this case, even if the general is familiar with the art of war, what can he do?

General Deng's situation was similar when he faced the gradually collapsing garrison soldiers in the middle and late stages of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Therefore, General Deng built a powerful army almost from scratch.

In his view, if you want to win, you must first train well. Only if daily training is done well, there will be no unexpected situations beyond the control of the generals on the battlefield.

Only by following the steps of the corps commander, captain, and captain, can the entire army carry out the orders of the commander to the letter.

The generals of the Jin people may not know much about the art of war, but they can win many tough battles with their fighting instincts.

The reason is that the basic combat effectiveness of these golden soldiers is extremely strong, so the generals' abilities are infinitely magnified.

The strong army trained according to General Deng's training methods has a neat military appearance, smooth military orders, clear rewards and punishments, and a united front.

With such an army, even if the general's command ability is slightly weaker, he can still defeat his opponents with his superior strength.

…

Zhao Haiping walked around the school grounds casually, and suddenly came to a spear and stick instructor who was practicing with a spear, and asked all these people to suspend their training.

"I want to check a few questions."

Zhao Haiping's eyes swept across the soldiers who were training, and he quickly picked out a soldier with a panicked look on his face.
