Chapter 24 What's the use of practicing queues?

By Doering DavidPublished 3 years ago 10 min read

After hearing what Dongmen Leopard said, Heifu suddenly froze.

"It's not like kicking a goose-stepping charge to fight. It's useless to practice the queue all day!"

In the past high school military training, Heifu had also made such complaints. Until he got older, entered the Police Academy and really experienced the life in the military camp, this idea slowly disappeared. At this time, listening to Dongmen Leopard mentioned it, I felt familiar with it.

"Brother Bao has ever been on the battlefield?" He remained silent for a long time and asked questions slowly.

Dongmen Leopard shook his head and said, "No, I've served on guard three times, but I've never been called up for battle." I can see that he is very eager to make meritorious service.

Xiahei Fu was relieved. Although he had never been to the battlefield, he had seen a lot of documentaries about the war in his past life, and his stomach was full of things to blow.

Heifu greeted Dongmen Leopard to sit down on a piece of wood with a smile and said to him, "Marching to fight is very different from fighting alone. On the battlefield, it's a big scene with thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. It's like a tidal wave. No matter how high your personal skills are, you can't display your skills in the crowd. There are spears and swords and halberds in all directions, and disorderly arrows are raining down. Seeing tricks and removing tricks in daily fighting is useless at all. "

Seeing that Dongmen Leopard still doesn't believe it, Heifu let him imagine such a scene:

They are a group of rangers with high martial arts skills. They went to the battlefield in such a mess, ready to fight with their own courage and ferocity.

At this time, Zhongjun gave the order to move forward slowly, and conveyed it with golden drum and banner. As a result, the rangers didn't know what to do, some of them charged forward, and some of them remained in place with a stupid face. As a result, those who broke away from the charge of the big army were shot by the arrow rain on the opposite side. Those standing behind were beheaded by military judges; Those who want to move forward in a hurry only to find that they are blocked by their own people. As a result, their own formation is disturbed ...

Even if you finally hand in hand with the enemy, because they are fighting each other, they will be separated by the well-trained enemy. One person has to fight with several or dozens of people at the same time, and finally they will be chopped into meat sauce. Even if they survive, they will probably face the impact of roaring chariots and galloping cavalry.

Well, these people are called Qi Ji, when King Qi Min hired this group of "Wulin masters" from Linzi to fight. As a result, they lost every battle, and they just beat Qi, a country with strong national strength, to the near end.

So many years ago, when Lao Xunzi commented on the strength of the armies of various countries, he listed Qi Ji, who had the strongest personal skills, as the worst army, and was a teacher of national subjugation.

After the scene was finished, Dongmen Leopard couldn't help sweating. He imagined that when he went to the battlefield, he could chop more than a dozen people's heads with his brave hands. It wasn't that easy, was it?

Heifu laughed again, "So, how can a soldier win? To rule for victory! Good discipline is the difference between a rabble and an elite teacher. The training of these ranks is the painstaking research of Sun Wu and Wu Qi, two art of war. Do you know who these two men are? "

The East Gate Leopard shook his head. Although these two men were once famous in Chu, times have changed, and the age is too long. How can ordinary villagers know? Black had to give him another popular science story about Sun and Wu ...

"The world often says, there are seventy thousand people, but who is the best in the world? Yue Wuqi also. There are 30,000 people, but who is the best in the world? Wu Zi also! Now you know how great these two are! "

"Sun Wu is really a hero! Only hate can't work for it! " The leopard's eyes widened at the East Gate, apparently still immersed in his grandson's slaying of the Prince of Wu's favorite concubine, and tens of thousands of people fought to defeat the state of Chu; Wu Qi killed his wife and asked for generals, guarded the Xihe River, and finally entered the Chu political reform and died of disorderly arrows.

The husband said, "It was Wei Wuzu, a well-trained man, who defeated the state of Qin. Until later, the state of Qin also used Wuqi's training methods in the army. These trainings may seem boring, but when they are practiced, if hundreds or thousands of people can do what Wu Qi said, they can sit and lie in a proper manner, march neatly, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the left and right partisans obey the command of the Chinese army like arms, and they can fight independently in their own way. In that case, it's where you want to go, and you can't be a sharp scholar in the world! "

"Heifu knows so much!" The East Gate was amazed. If the first day of arm wrestling was just oral and he was dissatisfied, then after what he said just now, he was really full of admiration for Heifu.

But he looked suspicious again: "Heifu, you have only served for the first time, and you have never been to the battlefield. Why do you know this?"

"This ... actually, my late father told me. He went to the battlefield many times." Black will take out the cheap Torre to block the gun again.

"What an outrage!"

Dongmen beat his thigh angrily and said, "Heifu has a good father who will teach you everything he saw and heard on the battlefield. My father was also called up to fight, but every time he came home from the war, he would only look around for wine to drink with his face down and say nothing. After drinking, he would beat me to death! In the end, he was drunk, fell into the river and drowned, but he made a good Chinese family poor! "

It seems that this rash and impulsive Dongmen Leopard has its own story, but Heifu just patted him on the shoulder without delving into it.

"What long ... corporal ..."

Stuttering words sounded, but when I looked back, Xiao Tao also got up, and Heifu said hello to him, in exchange for Xiao Tao's simple and honest smile. This child is a typical peasant youth, simple and honest, but a little timid.

At this time, the sun rose completely, and Dongmen Leopard changed its disdain for training, and took the initiative to wake up all the rest of the people. With this malefic urging, everyone got up much faster than yesterday.

Heifu nodded slightly, and it seemed that he had another good helper besides Ji Ying, so he took them to the tinker and announced his training plan.

"Today's training, start with a head-to-head and a queue!"

Heifu found that Qin's obsessive-compulsive disorder, which was meticulous in law, didn't seem to have spread to the army. The army's reform ranks not according to height, but according to titles and ages. In front of the station with titles, behind the station without titles, inside Shi Wu, in front of the older station, behind the younger station.

This has also caused some people to stand uneven, which greatly affects their sight.

Heifu has carefully asked Chen Baijiang yesterday, and it is not against catch to adjust the queue order, is it? Chen said that ranking by titles is a legal requirement, but ranking by age is just a convention, and it has not been written in military laws and regulations. Anyway, there are only two male scholar, one in front of the house, the rest of them, etc., Heifu can arrange at will.

So Heifu got the nerve and began to adjust the queue.

"Hey, you stand behind me ... why? Naturally, it's because you are the shortest. Don't be sad. Maybe if you eat more meat, you can grow taller. "

"Mu, I know you want to be next to your cousin, but you are eight feet tall, so you have to stand behind and in front of the East Gate Leopard."

"Xiao Tao ....." Looking for a circle, Heifu found that Xiao Tao had stood behind Bi. This boy, though stuttering, is actually quite clever.

"Ji Ying, that's right, it's you. Don't look around and stand behind Xiao Tao."

"Chao Bo, you were ranked second by age on weekdays, but now you can only be wronged and stand in the middle."

"Ping, yes, no, you three stand behind Chao Bo."

In this way, the order of them is from low to high, which is much more pleasing to the eye.

After adjusting the queue, Heifu, who also has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, nodded with satisfaction, and then entered the second session of today.

Stand!

"Learn to stand?"

Just after announcing the training content, Ji Ying almost laughed out loud: "Brother Heifu, don't you just stand? I'll be able to learn it after I'm three years old. What's the point? ...... Hey, what did you hit me for? "

Heifu held up the bamboo stick in his hand and slapped it at Ji Ying, a smirked girl. "Don't interrupt before I finish. Besides, it is forbidden to laugh, fight and look around in the queue."

On the first day, Heifu was impressed by the East Gate Leopard, and he established his prestige. He made a pre-announcement that he would treat this matter strictly, and would not listen to orders. According to catch-up, the first offense would be hit three times, and the second offense would be hit ten times. For the third offense, Shichang could be "familiar with it", that is, beaten to the death!

Baby see black husband seriously, then be well-advised to shut up. Others looked at the East Gate Leopard, and found that he was uncharacteristically obedient to Heifu, and naturally did not dare to expect it.

Only Heifu said, "I've heard a saying, a gentleman stands in the world, so he should stand up straight and do right!"

With that, he made a standard standing posture facing everyone and said, "Standing like a pine! Like me, it is the straight pine on the top of the mountain! "

They stared at Heifu and found that he really stood up straight, like a pine tree in high spirits.

Heifu pointed to Ji Ying and others' crooked standing posture: "And you are like crooked pines protruding from the mountainside! When the wind blows, it wobbles. What a scandal! “

Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't think there was anything wrong with standing like this, no one had any objection. Under the demonstration and correction of Heifu, they began to learn to stand up straight again ...

"Heels are together, toes are separated outward, yes, that's it."

"Keep your legs straight and close together, your lower abdomen slightly closed, your chest held out, your shoulders flat, and don't be high or low."

"Two arms droop and straighten, fingers close together and naturally bend slightly, sticking to the seam of pants ... the amount is wrong, it's the side of the lower skirt."

"Well, keep your head straight, your neck straight and your mouth closed. Ji Ying, don't always grin at me!"

"Eyes forward head-up, no, you don't know what is head-up? Come, you look into my eyes ... "

So, before eating all morning, everything else began to follow their own captains and corporal to start training in a muddle. The whole tinker was full of shouts, and it was very lively, except Heifu, who stood still and began to stand up.

Bai Jiang was also watching the guard training on the earthen platform. One of his chariot chiefs saw this and said, "Bai Jiang, where Nahefu is, he has been standing for a long time, or he is lazy. Should the lower officials go over there and give him a reprimand?"

"No need."

Bai Jiang shook his head and sneered:

"He probably knows how hard it is to train, and this is not easy! Let him toss and turn! I'm going to take the county pawn to Yunmengze tomorrow to chase the thieves. I can't take care of such trifles. Just wait for him to make a fool of himself in front of everyone on the tenth day! After that, the whole Anlu County will know that the so-called Heifu, a strong man and a thief, is just an ordinary man who loves to talk big! At that time, I will ride my horse ahead and watch him jump around Anlu County for a whole circle! "
