The weather is hot and the sun is as hot as fire.

However, the training enthusiasm of the Nine-Headed Horse Team continued to rise. In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Liu Jun has to select outstanding and active people every day. The top three can get a reward of two cents, one cent, and five cents of silver. Those with the worst and most negative training performance will also be punished with fines for silver and labor.

Money can make the devil push the mill. Although the weather is hot, you can eat three full meals a day, plenty of oil and water, and add meat for one meal. The training performance is good, and there are two extra eggs.

After nearly a month of training, the local heroes gradually adapted to this intensity of training. They did not feel that it was too hard, and they gradually became a habit.

The long-distance running of the morning load has now reached two miles in the queue, five miles in person, Liu Jun, like everyone else, had a full set of cotton armor, helmets, bows, swords, bird guns, and backpacks. The weight was 50 kilograms.

After running, I felt sweaty all over my body, but I didn’t feel like I couldn’t breathe. Although I was a little tired, I had not reached my limit.

After the load was lifted, the township heroes lined up to take a shower in the newly built bathroom, and then lined up to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast. The three of them who performed best in the morning were rewarded with two eggs, and the rest of the breakfast was also white rice, and fresh river fish and shrimps sent by nearby fishermen, and some fresh vegetables.

The guys who performed the worst had to clean the cafeteria after dinner.

After breakfast, it was queue training again.

At this time, the basic team had been well trained. Liu Jun began to train the formation. The formation he trained was the most basic and core formation of the Qi family army, the Yuanyang Battle Formation.

The Yuanyang Battle Formation of the Qi Family Army is actually very simple and clear. At the beginning, it was the basic tactics of individual infantry units, not the mysterious formations such as the Bagua Formation or the Tianmen Formation, but a real practical application formation.

The mandarin ducks were lined up in a team of twelve people. When they were arranged, the captain stood in front, holding the shield, and the other soldier held the Teng card station on the other side.

The captain holds the leader's card to block the enemy's arrows, spears, and rattan players hold light rattan cards and have javelins, waist knives, long cards and rattan players mainly cover the back team's advance. In addition to covering, rattan players can also fight the enemy in close combat.

The two of them held the wolf squid for the wolf squid. The wolf squid used the bamboo grown in the south to choose the old and solid ones, and cut the bamboo end into a sharp shape, leaving sharp branches around it. Each wolf squid was about 3 meters long. The wolf squid used the sharp blade at the front of the wolf squid to assassinate the enemy to cover the advancement of the shield player and the attack of the spearman behind.

Next were four spearmen holding spears, two on the left and right, respectively, corresponding to the shield and wolf wielders on the left and right sides of the front.

Following up were two soldiers holding "palladium boring" as guard, support and other work.

If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short soldier will rush forward with a short knife to kill the enemy. The division of various weapons is clear, and each person is familiar with his own operations. The key to effectively killing the enemy is overall cooperation and orders are prohibited. The last one is the bird gunner.

The "Mandarin duck formation" not only closely combines spears and shields, long and short, fully exerts the effectiveness of various weapons, but also changes the formation flexibly. It can change the column into horizontal teams according to the situation and combat needs, and transform one into two small arrays on the left and right or three small arrays on the left and right.

When it becomes two small formations, it is called "two talent formation", and the left and right shield hands follow the left and right wolf wielders, spearmen and short soldiers to protect their attack; when it becomes three small formations, it is called "three talent formation", at this time, the wolf wielders, spearmen and short soldiers are in the center. The shield hands guard on both sides of the left and right. This changed formation is also called "changed mandarin duck formation".

This formation is flexible and maneuverable, which just suppressed the advantage of the Japanese pirates. Qi Jiguang led the "Qi Family Army". After the drill of the "Yuanyang Formation" method, he won every battle with the Japanese pirates.

Of course, Liu Jun's horse team is a cavalry team now, and the initial equipment of the Qi family army was different. It was four bow and knife hands, four bird gunners, two hook gunners, a captain and a fire soldier. This configuration is actually equivalent to one of the several organizational arrangements of the horse camp when Qi Jiguang was training in Ji Town later.

Both cold weapons and ** are equipped with bird gun cavalry, neither belonging to the bird gun cavalry with full bird gun nor the killer cavalry with full cold weapons. They are considered as the light cavalry team.

The light cavalry team in this configuration can also use the Mandarin Duck Battle Formation.

When the battle was about to happen, the cavalry team dismounted. The team chief held a flag gun in front, and then four bird gunmen dismounted in two rows, staggered guns and fired.

The third column is two hook gunmen, who also dismounted and fired rockets.

The four bow and knife hands are arranged in the fourth and fifth rows, and they are drawn and shot arrows.

If there is a tiger squat cannon, you can also place the tiger squat cannon behind the hook gunner to fire shotguns.

"After a hundred steps, the thief blows the swan's trumpet, and the first level gunner fires. After the first row of gunners releases the gun, the second row of gunners releases again. The trumpet is blowing again, and the hook gunner sets the rocket. The trumpet is blowing again, and the tiger squat cannon fires. The trumpet is blowing again, and the bow and knife hand puts the long sword on the ground, and the team will shoot arrows."

Liu Jun trained new recruits completely according to the tactics of the Qi family army. After all, these are all proven and quite useful tactics.

"When the thief reaches thirty steps, the falls and sounds are heard. All soldiers put away the bird guns, rockets, bows and arrows, and all pick up melee weapons. The team chief holds the flag gun, the bird gunman holds the long sword with both hands, the hook gunman holds the hook sickle with his hook sword, the bow knife holds the long sword with his bow sword, and the fire soldiers hold two pointed iron shoulder poles."

"The whole team listened to the drums and heard the whole team slowly moving forward, listened to the drums and ran towards the enemy. The sound of the trumpet and swans were blowing, and each team was beaten three times, three times, three times, three times, three times, three times, three times. When the third time, the whole team rushed forward together."

Although they are horse teams, Liu Jun knew in his heart that riding skills is difficult to practice. In the short term, they are at most infantry riding horses. If they want to become real cavalry, it is not possible to achieve it in a short period of time. Therefore, when training tactics now, he did not arrange his team as cavalry, but directly regarded them as infantry riding horses with maneuver speed.

However, when the battle was about to be fought, he still had to dismount and fight in the field, using the array tactics of the Qi family's infantry squad. He shot from a long distance first, waited for the enemy to get close to him and then switched to melee weapons to fight.

Liu Jun glanced at everyone and shouted: "Prepare!"

With a "wow", the teams were already standing straight.

"Blow the trumpet!"

The trumpet picked up the trumpet and blew the swan trumpet.

Liu Jun shouted, "Let the array and welcome the enemy!"

"kill!"

The teams shouted together, and then ran quickly according to the formation. The teams always ran to the front with flag guns, followed by bird gunners, hook gunners, and bow knife hands. At this stage of training, Liu Jun has not yet put the tiger squat cannon into the formation.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Another swan trumpet sounded.

Two gunners from the first team of each team began to raise their guns and aim.

"put!"

With a few bangs, the six combat troops fired their first row of gunmen together, twelve bird guns roared together, a burst of smoke filled the air, and twelve lead characters sprayed towards the target ahead.

After the first row of guns was released, the second horn came again.

The bird gunmen in the second row quickly raised their guns and then fired together. At this time, the gunmen in the first row were in a nervous loading again. After the second row of gunmen was fired, the hook gunmen had already put the hook guns flat, took out the rockets in the arrows, placed them on the gun bar, and then lit them with fire sticks. A sharp sound rang out, and the twelve rockets roared towards the formation.

Liu Jun saw these rockets running around like fireworks, with no target at all, but it can be imagined that the enemy on the opposite side came into formation, and suddenly dozens of rockets rushed over, running around in the formation, with gunpowder smoke and sparks splashing everywhere, afraid that the panic caused to people is even more than ordinary bows and arrows.

After the Gunman's rocket was released, the bowmen behind had already set their bows and aimed at them. With a sound of sound, they quickly shot arrows.

After one round of shooting, it took only a short time to shoot. At this time, the bird gunners in front had already loaded gunpowder again.

In a battle formation, from a hundred steps apart to the enemy rushing to thirty steps, as long as you train well, you can launch three rounds.

After three rounds of long-range attacks, the entire team switches to melee combat.

Even after good training, each team can be equipped with a tiger squat cannon to give the enemy a greater blow. At the same time, behind each team, several real cavalry can be equipped with. When the long-range firepower passes, the cavalry will charge forward, and then each team will carry melee weapons and charge.

If you only deal with a small group of thieves, Liu Jun believes that the thieves will find it difficult to support the three rounds of volleys in the front, and may collapse. When they encounter some tenacious people and launch close-up fighting later, it will be difficult for them to stop the well-equipped Nine-Headed Birds team.

However, it will take a long time to practice in order to achieve close cooperation.

Liu Jun walked back and forth between the teams, and when he saw someone who was in a hurry, he would hit him and shouted loudly.

Although the cooperation is not so tacit, Liu Jun is still quite satisfied with the ability to reach this level in just a few months. If they can practice for another three months, they will basically pass. If they can see some blood again and go through the real battle formation test, they can be called the army.

These days, Li Chunjiang is devoted to pursuing the bandits. He goes out early and returns late every day, and sometimes he doesn't even see anyone for several days. Those thieves are really powerful and elusive. When you are not paying attention, they always run out to make a vote, and then wait for you to investigate, but find that there is no trace at all.

This made Li Chunjiang very depressed. He felt that he had been fooled, so he devoted more energy to investigate. He even transferred a team of old men from the Li family to investigate with him.

Li Chunjiang is not here, and the Jiutou Horse Team is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Liu Jun. Unconsciously, in the hearts of the players, Liu Jun has become the real boss of the Jiutou Horse Team. Liu Jun's prestige in the camp has also increased day by day, and there are no two at the moment.
