Turbulent Times Chapter 36: Special training

“Everyone is a veteran who has been on the battlefield. You should know that there is one important thing on the battlefield, that is, whether you can run. Only by running fast and long enough can you chase and kill the enemy for hundreds of miles, or even go up to Thousands of miles. As long as you run fast and persist for a long time, you can survive the enemy’s ambush or pursuit at critical moments. Therefore, in the physical training plan that will be formulated, running will be the most important content.”

As Wang Junlin said, everyone is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, and what Wang Junlin said is reasonable, and they agree with what Wang Junlin said.

“Some of you may disagree with my training methods, but it doesn’t matter, because whether you agree or not, you will listen to me.”

“So, let’s start with the first training content – long-distance running. This is the training we must complete every morning for the next three months. Everyone is fully armed, from the barracks to the west of Gaotai Mountain. There is a big white stone , I have already ordered someone to calculate the distance, and it happens to be about fifty miles in one round trip.”

In this more than a month of research, Wang Junlin combined the methods of training special forces of later generations with the methods of training soldiers of this era, and held many meetings with officers of the army with a hundred or more officers to study and discuss, and formulated a set of brand new training methods. And it has been notified to the whole army more than ten days ago, so everyone has a certain degree of psychological preparation.

This kind of training process can be called cruel. If it were someone else, such harsh training would probably lead to dissatisfaction and even mutiny among the soldiers after a few days. However, facing the famous poisonous general Wang Junlin , No one dared to disobey Wang Junlin’s military order. Following Wang Junlin’s order, four thousand people started to run away from the barracks in groups of one hundred.

Wang Junlin got off the stage and also participated in the running. He also needs to improve his strength, and the strength of a soldier on the battlefield is not just force and fighting, sometimes endurance is also very important, because many Sometimes a fight lasts for half a day, or even a whole day, but it is normal for a war to last for several months or even years. In history, there are not a few brave generals who were easily killed by soldiers due to lack of endurance and excessive physical exertion.

Running is the most basic exercise to improve a person’s endurance. Especially in this era, whether the army can run, and whether it can persist in the endless march is really very important. The so-called supernatural speed is the most important thing in soldiers, what supernatural speed depends on, cavalry naturally have horses, but infantry only have two legs. The army that can run when chasing the enemy can kill more enemies. When retreating, an army that can run will be able to withdraw or escape more easily.

It’s getting colder in late autumn, but sparrows are still looking for food in groups in the wilderness, and the same is true on both sides of the south gate. Suddenly there was a loud roar, like thunder, and the startled birds left in a panic. A group of soldiers rushed out of the city gate, all fully armed, and led by one person, they rushed out of the barracks screaming.

That’s right, the leader was Wang Junlin. In order to arouse everyone’s enthusiasm for training, he took the lead and ran ahead, and after rushing out of the city gate, he didn’t run along the official road.

Instead, I chose the wilderness with very uneven roads and ran towards Gaotai Mountain.

Although the team at the back was puzzled, their own generals were leading the way ahead, so they had no choice but to follow. After all, they were all veterans. Even though they usually had little running training, after a few big battles, it would be more than a march. Qianli has also been trained. All four thousand troops caught up with Wang Junlin, and none of them fell behind.

But not long after, some people gradually lost track of them, and the distance between Wang Junlin and Wang Junlin became farther and farther. According to the habit of long-distance running, everyone would advance at a uniform speed, saving time and effort, but Wang Junlin was completely the opposite. Keep fast almost all the way, this way will be much faster in the front, but basically can’t run in the back, but Wang Junlin doesn’t slow down, everyone has to keep up with this speed.

Running in full armor and carrying weight in the wilderness without roads is very exhausting and requires high skills.

However, everyone does not lack skills and physical strength, but they are not used to this kind of sprinting with all their strength. After a while, the front opened up a little, and a jumping river appeared. This river is familiar to everyone, with a width of seven or eight meters. Left and right, no more than knee-deep, with cobblestones underneath. The terrain on both sides of the river bank is much flatter. Although weeds are overgrown, it does not affect running.

When everyone thought Captain Guo Yi would run along the river bank, they were happy to be able to adjust a bit, when they found that Wang Junlin jumped into the river at once, went upstream, and ran forward desperately, as if there was a chaser behind him. Like soldiers, everyone was taken aback, but they also jumped into the river one after another.

Wu Si, who was in charge of holding the formation at the end of the team, saw this scene, his face changed slightly, he didn’t understand why Wang Junlin was like this, but some veterans who had fought the battle vaguely understood Wang Junlin’s intentions.

After running along the river for more than ten minutes, Wang Junlin landed on the bank and rushed towards a hillside at the foot of the opposite Gaotai Mountain. The hillside was about 100 meters high. People had fallen behind, and everyone saw their master rushing towards the hillside tirelessly, their faces changed, but they had to grit their teeth and persevere.

If it is a uniform speed, this difficulty is nothing to everyone. This way of running with all your strength from the beginning completely disrupted everyone’s habits, and the physical exertion is very high, but this kind of running has nothing to do with real combat The difference is that when fighting, whether you are chasing the enemy or retreating, how can it be possible that all the roads along the way are flat, and it is normal to encounter rivers and hillsides blocking the road, and the situation forces you to run with all your strength, which is even more normal. It may keep you running at a constant speed.

Wang Junlin didn’t care about the people behind him. In addition to setting an example and a new training method for his subordinates today, he was also training himself. The reason why he is so good at long-distance running is that in later generations, whether it is a special soldier or a mercenary, cross-country long-distance running training on special terrains such as deserts, jungles, and mountains with heavy loads is commonplace, and he is one of the best.

When rushing to the middle of the mountain, Wang Junlin paid attention to the people around him. There were more than 400 people following closely. Among them, nearly 100 people were flexible and could always find the most suitable foothold. Their bodies were erratic. They also know how to accelerate with the strength of their hands. Most of these people are scouts.

After rushing up the hill, there is a steep **** of about 20 to 30 degrees in front of you. There is a bush forest, and you can’t see where to stay. It will hit a tree, and if it steps on a soft place, it is easy to fall, and it will be troublesome if it steps on a hollow place.

Wang Junlin continued to rush forward without stopping, like walking on flat ground, always able to accurately judge where the soil is hard, where it is soft, and where it cannot be stepped on. Dash down the hillside.

The soldiers who followed behind saw this scene, gritted their teeth with a bitter face, and rushed down. Unlucky, their feet were empty, and their bodies fell down. , The tree stump accidentally hit it, it hurts for a long time, and it may bleed. However, this scene is far worse than the fighting on the battlefield, and it will not scare the soldiers.

Wang Junlin looked back and continued to run wildly. After descending the hill, he continued to run along the canyon. The canyon is a dry riverbed, and there are exposed stones everywhere on the ground, big or small, blocking the way. If you want to pass, the best way is to step on the stones and run, but the stack of stones may not be strong, and sometimes you will lose your center of gravity and slip when you step on it.

During running, Wang Junlin was like a dexterous monkey, using both hands and feet, constantly jumping forward. Jun Lin’s body can always twist strangely, and continue to move forward in the opposite direction, regardless of the center of gravity, just like a car that only knows how to move forward.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers chasing up from behind learned to be smart, and instead of rushing forward blindly, they observed Wang Junlin’s running style.

It’s just that Wang Junlin has already broken through the pile of stones on the river bed, stood on a huge white stone, glanced at the soldiers who had already drawn up, jumped off the white stone, and rushed into the road just now. The river began to return downstream, leaving a long distance from everyone.

The wilderness, knee-deep rivers, hillsides, bushes, and stone piles are not suitable for running, not to mention that everyone’s armor and weapons weigh about ten kilograms. This is definitely a cross-country route that challenges people’s limits. It is also a route to test the willpower of soldiers and exercise their physical skills. Wang Junlin was secretly relieved when he saw that most of the soldiers were gradually falling behind, but they were able to keep up. Soldiers are much stronger.

He knows that in a few years, troubled times will come, and the only capital to survive in troubled times is the army under his command. This is the first batch of troops under his command. He wants to build them into an iron army and become the cornerstone of his heroic world. .

The fallen soldiers are crawling hard, their faces are full of pain, but their eyes are beating with excitement. There may not be many smart soldiers among the soldiers, but they can survive battle after battle People who are not stupid will definitely not be stupid, and their understanding of war is extremely profound. They already understand the importance of this running training.

To put it bluntly, this kind of cross-country running with heavy loads is the answer to the four words – soldiers are expensive and fast.

Wang Junlin went down the river, then walked through a forest, and returned to the Gaotai City camp. He stood on the training ground, still wearing armor, carrying a bow and arrow and a saber. The water fell down, and the ground was soaked.

He looked at the sun and started counting, and the three quarters of the hour was the last time he set.
