Training was a long and arduous process. At the same time, it was also a process that constantly stimulated one's potential. To shorten this process, they had to increase the amount of training at an appropriate time and not keep the same amount!
Even though the soldiers of the Wu Battalion were the 'recruits' of the Black Armored Army, they were not real recruits. Before they came to the Black Armored Army, they were the elites of the Twelve Guards of the Capital. Naturally, their individual military and physical qualities were impeccable. The amount of training that Li Zexuan gave them was mainly for them to familiarize themselves with the training in the new drill. However, to the most elite heavy cavalry of the Tang Empire, this amount of training was obviously not enough!
Therefore, when the soldiers seemed to be able to handle the current amount of training with ease, it was absolutely necessary to increase the amount of training appropriately!
"Joining the army, in the past two days, I heard that the Second Battalion is also imitating our combat training. I wonder if it is Sun Tao's idea or General Qiu's!"
Sun Zhiping said casually as he led Li Zexuan to inspect the training grounds of the Wu Battalion.
"Ha! From what I see, this is most likely General Qiu's doing! He knows that he can't do anything to me in the dark, so he wants to use the Second Battalion to defeat me openly! "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan chuckled and said.
He had interacted with Sun Tao before and knew that even though this person was on Qiu Xinggong's side, he still had some pride and wasn't as unprincipled as Zhang Kangnian. Therefore, he felt that with Sun Tao's character, if it wasn't for Qiu Xinggong's pressure, he would never have done something as disgraceful as secretly learning from others!
However, Li Zexuan didn't care about this. He pondered for a moment and said to Sun Zhiping, "Don't bother about them. If they want to learn, let them learn. This way, it will prove that the new drill is indeed more suitable for the current Black Armored Army! As for us, we just need to do our own thing well! When the time comes, let's see if the student who stole from others is better than us! "
Li Zexuan's words revealed a strong sense of confidence. Sun Zhiping couldn't help but be infected by this confidence. He calmed down a little and replied with a smile, "Yes, sir!"
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and said, "As for combat training, I just discussed with Gao Gong. In the future, everyone will have to rotate their opponents every day. This way, we can prevent them from colluding with each other and not working hard during training. Find some time in the afternoon to talk with him and discuss a rotation method. In the future, the combat training of the A, C, D and E Battalions, they will be rotated according to this method!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhiping's eyes lit up and he praised, "Switching opponents is a good idea. I will discuss this with Deputy Gao during lunch!"
Li said Li Zan nodded his head, "Hmm …. Also, in the combat competition three days later, I plan to let the soldiers of the four battalions participate in it. I want to see how the strength of the soldiers of the E Battalion is compared to the other battalions. Therefore, Zhiping, in the next two days, let the brothers focus on their combat training! "
When he first came up with the new training program, he stipulated that there would be a combat competition every seven days. This was to improve the combat ability of the soldiers. However, his original intention at that time was to let each battalion compete internally. Now, he changed his mind! Now that he was in charge of the four battalions, he naturally had to treat everyone equally.
"Good! Then for the next three days, after every afternoon, I will let the soldiers take out an hour to practice their combat skills! However, I hope that in the aspect of combat, I can impart more experience and skills to my brothers. After all, you are a martial arts master! "
Sun Zhiping didn't even think about it before he cupped his fist and replied.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and nodded his head, "Alright, I will take some time to come and watch! However, the purpose of combat is to kill people. The techniques involved have nothing to do with the realm of martial arts. It is all about how efficiently and simply to defeat the opponent. It doesn't care about how flashy the moves are or how profound they are. It is more about the result. Zhiping, you should understand this better than me! "
Martial arts was actually not the same thing as going on the battlefield to kill the enemy. A martial arts duel was, to a large extent, a struggle between individuals, while going on the battlefield to kill the enemy was a contest between thousands of soldiers. For a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles, a duel between two martial arts experts would often be somewhat 'flashy', because for a soldier on the battlefield, the most important thing was to kill the opponent in the shortest amount of time, using the most energy-efficient method, and not to seek victory with every move. There was an essential difference between the two!
Although a person with strong martial arts was powerful, in the face of thousands of soldiers and horses, it was useless. At most, it was better than a normal person to stay alive! In the army, the purpose of martial arts was to strengthen the body. It was to let the soldiers have a strong body to compete with the enemy. Killing the enemy on the battlefield did not rely on martial arts. Instead, it was the art of combat, the art of killing!
Sun Zhiping nodded his head thoughtfully and said, "I understand!"
Li Zexuan smiled and patted his arm. "That's enough! Then you go and do your work. As for the Wu Battalion, I will definitely come and inspect it when I am free! "
"Yes! Join the army! "
Sun Zhiping cupped his fist and accepted the order.
Li Zexuan walked towards the direction of the commander's tent. As for the food problem of the Wu Battalion, he had to solve it today!
Qiu Xinggong, who was patrolling the Second Battalion, saw Li Zexuan walking towards the main camp. He pondered for a moment and said a few words to Sun Tao before following him.
… … …
"Reporting to the general, Li Zexuan requests to see you!"
In the commander's tent, Duan Zhixuan was sitting on the couch and reading military documents. At this time, the guard outside the tent came in and bowed.
"Please!"
Duan Zhixuan raised his head and said one word lightly.
Using "please" instead of "let him in", it was enough to show that Li Zexuan's position in his heart was higher than before. In the end, it was because of the imperial edict from Li Er last time!
"Yes!"
The guard accepted the order and left. After a while, Li Zexuan walked in. Because the soldiers in the camp were all wearing military armor, there were not many rules here. Li Zexuan just cupped his fist and said to Duan Zhixuan, "Greetings to the general!"
Duan Zhixuan had already put down the documents in his hand. He smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be so courteous in front of me!"
After a pause, Duan Zhixuan asked doubtfully, "The soldiers should be practicing in the drill ground right now, right? You aren't in the drill ground, but you came to the commander's tent. You should be looking for me for something, right? "
It was said that old people were shrewd. This saying was true when used on Duan Zhixuan!
Li Zexuan stepped forward and cupped his fist, "The general is wise. I am here to ask the general for a favor!"
"Say it!"
Duan Zhixuan's face showed an "I knew it" expression, then he nodded.
Li Zexuan then opened his mouth, "Actually, I am here for the rations of the soldiers of the Wu Battalion. I heard from Field Officer Sun that a month ago, the deputy general of the Second Battalion, Chen Datong, brought people to the Wu Battalion's kitchen to snatch the raw meat. Sun Zhiping's argument was to no avail. Later on, General Qiu proposed to have the five battalions compete with each other. The weakest one would only be able to provide one meal of meat a day. In the end, the Wu Battalion became the last. Until now, the soldiers in the battalion can only eat one meal of meat a day.
Is this true? "Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan finally knew the real purpose of Li Zexuan's visit. He couldn't help but frown," Last month, I was busy with the affairs of the imperial court and was often not in the army. Most of the military affairs in the battalion were handled by Xing Gong. But I heard about this matter later on. But at that time, the bet had already been made, and I couldn't do anything about it! "
Li Zexuan said seriously, "The general is wise. At that time, the soldiers of the Wu Battalion were just transferred from other guard stations in the capital to the Black Armored Army. They didn't even know each other. And in the other four battalions, there were some old soldiers of the Black Armored Army. For the Wu Battalion, this competition was already unfair. How could the bet count?"
"Haha! What Field Officer Li said is wrong! "
Right after Li Zexuan finished speaking, a person walked in from outside the tent. It was Qiu Xing Gong. He came in front of Li Zexuan and bowed to Duan Zhixuan. Then he turned to Li Zexuan and said,
"At that time, the soldiers of the Wu Battalion all agreed to the bet willingly. No one forced them. You can't deny the bet just because the Wu Battalion ended up last, right? Even the scoundrels in the marketplace know to admit defeat. Field Officer Li, are you trying to make the brothers of the Wu Battalion even worse than the scoundrels in the marketplace? "
It's this old b * stard again. He's really haunting me! Li Zexuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He really hated Qiu Xing Gong to the core. He didn't want to fight with Qiu Xing Gong, but Qiu Xing Gong kept pressuring him. This made him very unhappy. Li Zexuan's principle was, if you make me unhappy, then I'll make you unhappy too. There were some things that he didn't want to fight for, but now he had no choice but to fight for it!
"Hmph! General Qiu's words are really beautiful. But the cause of this matter was Deputy General Chen Datong of the Second Battalion and his men stealing the rations of the Wu Battalion. General Qiu should know about this, right? "
Facing Qiu Xing Gong, this old b * stard, who was trying to twist the truth, Li Zexuan snorted coldly and said,
"It's said that people fight for their dignity, and Buddha fights for an incense stick. The Black Armored Army is full of hot-blooded men. Under such a situation, even if they knew that the bet was disadvantageous to them, how could they not agree to it? General Qiu told me that if you agree to the bet, then I would like to ask General Qiu, when Sun Zhiping reported to General Qiu that Chen Datong stole the rations of the Wu Battalion, why was the booklet kept for no reason? Also, I heard that Chen Datong is a distant relative of General Qiu. So in this matter, did General Qiu secretly protect Chen Datong? "
