Chapter 5 Training

For several months in a row, Zhao Feng has been training with Zhang Fei. But after a few months, Zhao Feng gradually felt something was wrong. It seemed that this training was far from his previous military training. After thinking about it carefully, I finally found that there was something wrong.

"General Three, it seems that we don't do too much confrontation training!" During the training on this day, Zhao Feng said to Zhang Fei. Aren't we doing confrontation training every day? Isn't it enough?" Zhang Fei retorted strangely, and pointed to the soldiers who were fighting on the court.

"I mean, it seems that we are just fighting with bare hands, and we have never used weapons?" Zhao Feng explained more carefully. When he was in military training, he once heard from instructors that infantry has five basic skills: bombing, shooting, assassination, blasting, and earthwork. Now is the era of cold weapons. There is no way to talk about blasting and dropping bombs. There are also special crossbowmen for shooting, and only the assassination and local work can be used by these ordinary soldiers to practice. However, the assassination obviously requires equipment. Such a bare-handed confrontation training can't be said to be useless at all, but it is still very different from fighting with a guy in his hand on the battlefield.

Training is to be able to simulate actual combat as much as possible, so as to achieve the best results, otherwise it is meaningless to do those tricks. This is Zhao Feng's idea.

"Use weapons?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Feng with a surprised face, and then frowned and said, "You should know that the sword has no eyes. If you really use weapons to fight against training, even if half of these soldiers will die."

"Huh? How could this be? Don't I often learn martial arts with the three generals and the second generals? Zhao Feng is a little difficult to understand. That's me, my second brother, and you have been practicing martial arts for many years. Naturally, there is a sense between them. These little soldiers, how can you make them free to send and receive? Let them use weapons to fight and train. I'm afraid that once the fight is lively, they will use mule. Zhang Fei said angrily.

"So that's it." Zhao Feng finally understood. You can compete with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but it is really difficult for hundreds of people to compete with each other. What should I do? Zhao Feng has a headache. If he doesn't fight against the training effect, he can't achieve the best, and it is not allowed to fight against objective conditions. After thinking about it, it seems that this is a contradiction between fish and bear paws.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Feng suddenly had a flash in his mind. It can be like this." Zhao Feng thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with this method. He immediately pulled Zhang Fei and said it in detail. After listening to this, Zhang Fei was stunned, and then laughed cheerfully. While patting Zhao Feng on the shoulder, he shouted, "B Tao, your idea is really wonderful. When everything is ready tomorrow, we will try your camp first. While talking, Zhao Feng's smile was a little reluctant. Although he was not a weak literati, he was photographed like this, and he also felt that his skeleton seemed to tremble a little.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gong Cao Jianyong received a strange list. This list is listed by Zhang Fei, who proposed 400 bamboo poles, a number of rag heads and two barrels of white lime. After thinking for a long time, Jian Yong couldn't figure out what Zhang Fei was going to do with these things, but this was not an important material. He immediately gave the warehouse to put these things for Zhang Fei. Almost at the same time, Liu Bei was also told by the mysterious Zhang Fei that there would be a unique training tomorrow. I hope the eldest brother could go to watch and give me some advice.

"I don't know what kind of training it is. Can the third brother tell me?" Liu Bei was a little surprised that his brother pretended to be mysterious. Zhang Fei is a famous straight intestine, and he will pretend to be mysterious at any time. Hey hey, big brother, you'll know tomorrow. Zhang Fei smiled, but he also muttered in his heart: If Zhao Feng hadn't asked me to say it, I wouldn't have had to bear it.

And that night, after Zhao Feng returned to the barracks, he summoned his two military marquises, Lin Bao and Yang Xing, to inform them that they would have a large-scale confrontation training tomorrow. I don't know, Lord Sima, what's the training tomorrow? Lin Bao asked first. He was originally a chief and an experienced veteran, so Zhang Fei transferred him to Zhao Feng's army to assist in training and management. Nothing else, it's just that you wait for the confrontation between the two songs. Zhao Feng said truthfully. Lin Bao and Yang Xing nodded and didn't ask more questions. They just went back to inform their subordinates to prepare.

The next morning, Liu Bei came to Zhang Fei's barracks to watch the training. In addition to Liu Bei, Jian Yong, a civil servant, also came. He wanted to see what Zhang Fei had received a lot of things for yesterday.

"I have seen the Lord!" After the ceremony, the formal confrontation training began. 200 people led by Lin Bao and Yang Xing stood separately on the field. At this time, several Zhang Fei's soldiers came forward and distributed 400 bamboo poles to everyone. In addition, each of them distributed a piece of rag. At the same time, several others came forward with two large barrels, which were adjusted lime pulp.

"All sergeants, wrap one end of the bamboo pole with cloth, then dip the lime in the lime bucket, and then the two songs begin to fight!" Zhao Feng explained the rules concisely. After a pause, he said, "Any one who is poked with white ash on the vital part of his body is regarded as losing the ability to fight and immediately retreats. If there is a person who continues to pester with white ash, punish him!"

"No!" 400 people agreed and began to prepare. After a while, everyone tied the bamboo pole, dipped it in lime, and then began to formally fight. Kill it!" Go!" The shouting was shocking, but because it was a bamboo pole and one end was wrapped in cloth, none of the hundreds of people in the field saw blood.

In a short time, some people withdrew from the battle with white dust. Of course, there were also people who continued to fight shamelessly. However, the soldiers in charge of supervision on the sidelines were not blind. They wrote down these people one by one and left them to be punished later. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people fighting fiercely in the field. In the end, there were only more than 30 people left in the song led by Lin Bao, surrounded by more than 100 people in Yang Xing. Moreover, Lin Bao's subordinates are mostly white gray spots on his body, and Yang Xing's song only has a little white gray on his arms or some secondary parts, which seems to be more like a splashed gray spot.

So far, it is clear that Yang Xing won. It's really wonderful!" Liu Bei was also amazed. After all, he was not an idle person. As soon as Zhao Feng finished talking about the rules, he basically understood the meaning of such confrontation. In this way, he could try to simulate actual combat under the premise of ensuring safety, and the effect of training was naturally twice the result with half the effort.

"Third brother, I don't expect you to come up with such a method of training. It's really rare." Liu Bei sincerely praised this time. Although his brother is sometimes thick and thin, it is rare to have such a whimsical idea. Brother, this is not what I thought, but what Mr. Zhao came up with. Zhang Fei is a straightforward person, and naturally he is unwilling to take the credit of others.

"Oh? Is it Bo Tao? Liu Bei was even more impressed by Zhao Feng. I'm just thinking about it for a while, and the specifics still need to be tested in actual combat. Zhao Feng did not dare to be too arrogant. At present, he said honestly, but he couldn't help but be secretly proud: This is the training method described by Shi Nai'an in "Water Margin". It is by no means ordinary. Today's trial is really extraordinary. It seems that even Lao Liu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has been shocked.

"That's not easy!" Liu Bei also had a good impression on Zhao Feng's modesty, and then ordered that in the future, at least once a month of such confrontation training, the winner will reward the soldiers with half a catty of wine and half a catty of meat. Yang Xingbuqu, who won today, became the first batch of beneficiaries. Now he hurriedly thanked.

"B Tao, it's really rare for you to come up with such a method of training. If there is such a wonderful method later, you can recommend yourself. Liu Bei added a special sentence at the end. Zhao Feng knew that although he didn't get any real award today, in fact, Liu Bei looked at him differently, at least he would not regard himself as an ordinary military Sima.

In the following training, the enthusiasm for the training of various soldiers was unprecedented. There is no other reason. Although the honor is empty, the wine and meat are real. After each confrontation, the winners don't want to lose, and the losers don't want to lose again, so they all train each other hard. At the same time, it is also in this large-scale confrontation that the cooperation between soldiers has become more and more tacit. From the beginning of disorderly and desperate efforts to the gradual orderly attack and defense, the division of labor and cooperation, the tacit understanding between the ministries is also increasing.

"It's really good, Bo Tao, your wonderful ideas, cooperate with my original method of training, so that what we have trained is definitely a rare elite teacher in the world." Zhang Fei looked at the soldiers under his command practicing on the school grounds on this day. He didn't know how much better his moves were than before, and he couldn't help sighing. General, we can recruit more soldiers next year. Zhao Feng looked at the scene of thousands of people training together and felt that he was full of pride in his chest. No wonder the school leaders in the previous life liked to watch people sit on the radio, and thousands of people did the same action together. This scene was really spectacular!

"That depends on whether there can be a bumper harvest this year!" Zhang Fei is not a brainless person. He knows the important surname of grain and grass. Just when the two were chatting happily, they saw a horse coming in a hurry from afar. The soldier on the moment jumped off the horse and ran straight to Zhang Fei without waiting for the horse to stop. While running, he shouted, "The third general, the big thing is not good. The lord was assassinated!"
