Chapter 154 Field training
Both the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan belong to the large clan in Jin State, and the Xun clan, which combines the two families, is even more powerful.
"Brother, we seem to be targeted." This is what Wei Jing reported to us.
Wei Xiang disagreed with this: "If you don't even have the ability to target our team, can you still be called Xun? Don't pay attention to them."
Wei Xiang did not intend to waste his time for more than twenty days.
Looking at the neatly arranged three hundred Wei soldiers in front of him, Wei Xiang nodded secretly.
This is a martial world. Most of the Wei family's scholars came from the lower class, which is the so-called small landlord class. In other words, they are the "good sons" of later generations.
Such a background makes them very strong, and they also have certain knowledge, and have great enthusiasm for war. They can be said to be born excellent warriors.
Wei Xiang began to give a lecture: "This time, what we need to do is to train in the wild! My requirements for you are also very simple. Each person carries equipment every day, wakes up in the morning, and has to run a hundred miles by the afternoon!"
With Wei Xiang's order, everyone started running.
At this time, there was no such thing as a unified weight and measure. The weight and measure in Jin State was also messy, mainly divided into metric system (formed by the Dukes of Jin State) and private system (formed by the nobles and lords themselves). The Wei family used self-made weight and measure, each hundred miles corresponded to about 33.333 kilometers in later generations.
A marathon in later generations was 42.195 kilometers. Considering that marathon athletes do not need to carry weapons, armor and other equipment, the exercise volume of the two is generally similar, and even the exercise volume of the Wei family soldiers may be higher.
Can it be done?
Wei Xiang thought it was OK.
In China in history, the Wei family would officially establish a country about two hundred years later. At that time, the infantry of the Wei Kingdom swept the world and was respected as "Wei Wuzun". It was the main force of the Wei Kingdom to become the first overlord country in the Warring States Period.
"Xunzi: Military Advisory Chapter" says: "The military soldiers of Wei took them with their own rules, garments of three ranks of armor, twelve stones of crossbow, carrying fifty arrows, putting on them, crowned with helmets and swords, winning the food for three days, and heading for a hundred miles in the middle of the day."
The Wei Prime Minister used the training standards of Wei Wuzhang to train the "ancestors" of the group of Wei Wuzhang two hundred years ago.
"There are all, give me - run!"
With the order of Wei Xiang, he was the first to run out.
Three hundred Wei soldiers followed immediately.
After the first day of training, many of the Wei soldiers fell behind halfway, and after arriving at the camping site, they lay down halfway.
Wei Xiang also ran the whole process and did not get on the carriage just because he was a commander, which undoubtedly increased his weight in the hearts of these soldiers.
Wei Xiang, who had been running the entire journey, did not fall down. This was not because he was a time traveler, but because of the amazing body of this body.
Of course, after traveling through time, Wei Xiang used various fitness and training knowledge from his previous life to make the body more amazing.
So you can still hear Wei Xiang's loud voice in the camp.
"The water must be boiled and drunk. Yes, you must drink hot water! Who is lazy to drink cold water? Ten Army Sticks!"
"The wound should be cleaned first, and then bandaged after cleaning, otherwise it will be infected, do you understand?"
"Come on, take these ginseng to make soup and eat them all!"
"You can't relax your vigilance at night. Whoever falls behind today will stand up! You stand at midnight tonight, and I will patrol from time to time. If anyone falls asleep after napping, he will run thirty miles more tomorrow!"
No one dares to complain, on the one hand, it is because of Wei Xiang’s identity, but more importantly, it is because of Wei Xiang’s record!
The capture of the famous Chu general Xiong Fuji in the Battle of Liu Fen has made Wei Xiang regarded by many as a powerful general in the younger generation. These Wei soldiers are even more respectful to Wei Xiang.
Day 2, Day 3, Day 4...
On the sixth day, Wei Xiang was very surprised to find that all the three hundred soldiers finally completed their running requirements and no one fell behind!
"Very good, next, we continue to join the personal confrontation after running!"
After hearing Wei Xiang's words, the three hundred soldiers who were originally panting were wailing in an instant.
Another seven days passed.
"The two and three sons are doing a good job! Now, after running and individual confrontation, we will join a group confrontation project, mainly small teams in the mountains and forests to fight and survive!"
The soldiers of Wei's family seemed a little numb this time, and looked at Wei Xiang quietly, and then began to train.
...
When the third seven days passed, Wei Xiang finally arrived at the entrance of Baixing with his three hundred soldiers.
These days, Wei Xiang and these soldiers ate, lived and trained together. Their whole person became much darker. The beard on his chin was also very messy, but the light in his eyes became quite sharp.
Not only Wei Xiang, but also the soldiers in front of him also underwent amazing changes.
Just standing there silently gives people the feeling of three hundred wolves closely united, and they may launch earth-shaking attacks at any time.
If you look closely, you will find that although these soldiers look loose, each five people will inevitably form a mutually responsible formation, which is actually quite tight.
These soldiers have trained the Wei phalanx for a long time. This field training allowed them to experience it in an environment similar to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared to it.
This is why Jin and other vassal states held many large-scale military parades in the field every year, but in later generations such activities were basically reduced to the air of many dynasties.
Wei Xiang looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Today we will camp at Xingkou, and tomorrow we will enter Baixing to meet with the team that transported ginseng in Neijuru!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers of Wei's family immediately dispersed. The investigation and camping camping became orderly. Soon, a small but very neat camp appeared, and smoke began to emerge.
In a forest two or three miles away from the north, three figures were watching this scene from afar.
Zhongxing Geng, Zhi Hu, and a young man dressed in Chinese clothes but with a look similar to Chi Di.
The Central Xing Geng pointed to the Wei camp in the distance and said, "Jun Ziyou, the one over there is Wei Xiang, the murderer who killed your brother Fox in Handan and his three hundred armored soldiers!"
It turns out that the young master of Chi Di is named Hu You, who is the brother of Hunbian who died at the hands of Wei Xiang before.
Compared with the fox side, Hu You looked obviously smarter and cunning. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Wei camp in the distance, and then slowly said: "Let this Wei Xiang live for two more days. When he enters Baixing and meets Gururu, it will be the time for him to pay his life for my brother!"
Zhongxing Geng and Zhihu looked at each other and smiled at each other.
In the camp, Wei Xiangruo, who had just sat down, felt something, looked up at Wei Jing who was walking quickly: "What's the matter?"
Wei Jing whispered: "The scout came to report that someone seemed to be observing our army in the forest in the north. It seemed that there was not the former Xun spy, but someone else."
Chapter completed!
