Chapter 291: The Great Han Man (please vote and subscribe)
In a month, through constant training and competition, and according to the characteristics of each soldier, the four arms have been divided and four general flags have been formed. The chief is Shu Da, the deputy chief is Xue Tu, and the general is Shou Ya.
The chief of the sword and shield soldiers is Hu Mancang, the chief of the cavalry is Chai Duoduo, and the position of the chief of the spear soldiers is given to Shi Liu. The chief of the archers is a guy named Tan Jian, who is the champion of many archery competitions. The other soldiers are also very convinced and have no objection to Luo Chong's appointment arrangement.
A general flag has three small flags, which is the size of a platoon in modern times. Although the number of people is small, they are all elite. Now the population base is small, isn't it more precious to be refined than to be numerous? These are the seeds of the Great Han army.
One morning in March, all the soldiers tidied up their housework, had breakfast, and then lined up to run to the western grassland outside Hanyang City. Now daily training is also carried out here.
Luo Chong had been waiting for them here early. Seeing more than 100 people shouting one, two, one, two, three, four and running in unison, he felt a little proud. After all, they were all trained by him.
The team came from far away and came to Luo Chong. Before Luo Chong could speak, Shu Da was the first to shout.
"One, two, one, two, stand still, turn right, line up to the right, each flag report the number."
Then he heard four neat square teams start to report one by one. Finally, after checking that all the personnel were in order, Shu Da shouted "at ease" and ran to report to Luo Chong.
"Report to the leader, there are 155 people in one team, and there are 155 people in total, with complete equipment. Please give instructions."
"Stand still." Luo Chong gave a simple order.
"Yes."
Shu Da's body was straightened, his right fist was clenched, the back of the fist was facing up, the knuckles were close to his left chest, and he saluted. Then he turned around and shouted "Stand still" to the four general flags. Finally, he stood on the side of the team with Xue Tu and Shou Ya and also made the action of standing still.
Luo Chong also walked to the front of the team at this time, shouted "At ease", and began to make arrangements for today's training.
"Chai Duoduo, listen to my orders."
"Here." Chai Duoduo shouted, and then stood still.
"Lead the cavalry training. The first subject is to quickly load and unload horse gear, the second subject is the cavalry formation practice, and the third subject is riding and changing horses. I will test these three subjects in the afternoon. Pay attention to safety when riding and changing horses, but don't be timid. This is the equestrian action that cavalry must master. Maybe it is the means for you to save your life on the battlefield in the future. If you fall now, you will be injured at most, but you will lose your life on the battlefield. Be serious during training." Luo Chong said sternly to the cavalry general flag.
"I have obeyed your orders." Chai Duoduo also saluted, and then left with his general flag.
"Tan Jian, listen to my orders." Luo Chong continued to make arrangements.
"Here."
"Your troops will practice changing the arrow formation. There will be no mistakes in the afternoon test." Luo Chong ordered again.
"I have obeyed your orders."
Tan Jian also saluted and left. Soon he took the archer general flag to deploy the formation and then practiced the arrow formation.
After a while, Luo Chong heard the voice of Tan Jian giving orders. All the archers, under his command, first fired several rounds of collective volleys, followed by rapid-fire with a certain number of arrows, and then leap-forward shooting.
"Forward fifty steps and throw, forward 200 steps and throw freely" and a series of commands kept coming out of Tan Jian's mouth, and the archer general flag was also working hard on various training.
The remaining two general flags were led by Luo Chong himself to do array training, spearman thrust training, spear formation training, shield formation training for sword and shield soldiers, and actual combat training for armored soldiers.
Each shield soldier was wearing fully armed armor, and then held a shield in one hand and a short stick in the other, and stood face to face in two camps. Finally, at Luo Chong's command, they immediately rushed together with a howl.
The shields collided with each other, making a series of bangs, and the other hand also picked up a short stick and used it as a knife to greet the other party. While training how to attack the opponent, they also trained how to use the shield to defend themselves from attack.
The gun formation on the other side was also the same. They first completed the evolution of various formations several times, and then they started to practice confrontation in pairs. Their long spears were also replaced with long sticks wrapped with soft cloth and hay, and then they stabbed each other with the long sticks, and at the same time they were also practicing some blocking defensive actions.
At noon, each unit withdrew its troops and returned to the camp. Some rested, some cooked, and finally lined up to get food, and then lined up to bring it to the table. After the superiors shouted for dinner, these people started to use their chopsticks. No one talked while eating. They quickly finished eating, lined up to wash the dishes, and finally put their own bowls back to their original places. Only then did they finally have time to rest.
Some chatted, some slept, and some were injured to find herbs to treat their hidden injuries. Some people gathered behind Luo Chong and watched Luo Chong write Chinese characters on the blackboard on the wall with chalk.
There were cultural classes in the afternoon. Luo Chong was preparing teaching materials, and what he was writing now was a military song he had written specifically for the Han army.
"The Man of the Han Dynasty"
The long sword points directly to the jackals in the north;
the setting sun is like blood, flowing on the road to the south;
the flags flutter, leading the soldiers to the east;
the drums rumble, resounding on the battlefield of the westward expedition;
thousands of sails stand in a row, heading for the distant ocean;
the Han family has always been a good man, which is moving and touching;
loyalty and filial piety have always been difficult to achieve, and
they bid farewell to their parents in tears; the whole family is loyal and brave, and they are praised for their loyalty to the country;
they are invincible wherever they go!
The blood-stained battle robe is the most beautiful dress for men;
to die on horseback is the yearning of thousands of heroes;
the swords and guns are erected as a high wall to defend the country;
the iron The hooves are clanging, trampling the backs of the barbarians;
the sword is pointing to the frontier of our great Han Dynasty;
men should be self-reliant and famous for their loyalty and righteousness;
everyone is mortal, but I would rather enter the Hall of Heroes;
I will conquer thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and sail across the five oceans;
those who offend the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!
A song written neatly on the blackboard on the side wall by the great Han people, the soldiers who can read are reading it in a low voice behind, and those who don’t know ask Luo Chong, who also patiently explains to them, but these soldiers don’t understand the meaning of it. When they understand it, they will naturally have their own experience.
This military song contains Luo Chong’s longing for the Han tribal army, his yearning for the Han army, and his requirements for the Han army. It also contains many ideas of defending the country, so that they can understand the purpose and responsibilities of being a soldier, and the integrity and spirit of daring to fight of the soldiers. It is also something that Luo Chong has been thinking about for several days to cultivate the unique military culture of the army.
