Lu Ning looked at Li You and knew that he was not convinced, but there was nothing he could do. He could only convince him through their interactions in the future. However, some things could not wait. If they did not strictly manage and strengthen their training at this time, they would suffer a huge loss. This was especially true in the northern plains, where they faced the ferocious Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry.
Lu Ning said very seriously," Buhui, from tomorrow onwards, everyone has to get up and do morning exercises to strengthen their physical fitness. During the day, we will organize soldiers to undergo spear and archery training. In particular, we will train a group of snipers. This is very important. Arrows are the most effective weapons against cavalry. The Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Barbarians are all cavalry. Therefore, we not only have to train our own cavalry, but we also have to train snipers.”
Li You didn't seem to understand what he was saying. He asked in confusion,""My lord, what is a sniper?”
When Lü Ning heard this, it was no wonder that Li You could not understand. Sniper was a term used in the future. How could Li You understand it?
Lu Ning immediately smiled apologetically and said,"Snipers are master archers, they are used to deal with enemy generals. If we have a large number of master archers, we can let them kill the enemy generals on the battlefield. As long as the enemy generals are killed by us, the enemy soldiers will definitely be in chaos. This will be better for us to eliminate the enemy and reduce the casualties of our own soldiers. The training of master archers may take a few years, but we must do it. The master archers that we train not only have to shoot far, but they also have to be able to hit the target under all kinds of conditions. Whether it's windy or not, raining or snowing, or if they're standing in an unstable position, they have to hit the target. Of course, ordinary soldiers must also undergo archery training. I want our soldiers to be both archers and cavalry. It's just that we don't have good weapons and armor yet, but I believe we will definitely have them.”
After hearing this, Li You looked at Lü Ning again. As he pondered in his heart, he said,"My lord is too meticulous. I don't know anything about these things. Everything will be as my lord says.”
Lu Ning thought to himself, Of course you don't know. If you knew, would you still acknowledge me as your lord? Would he still let me be the king of the mountain? As he thought about this, he continued to order,"Buhui, we still need to form a scout.”
After hearing this, Li You was confused again. He asked humbly,"My lord, what is a scout?”
Lu Ning felt dizzy when he heard that. Why did his mouth always come out casually? Wasn't this killing him? He could only explain,"Scouts are scouts."”
"My lord, we have scouts. We have quite a few of them."”
Lu Ning smiled and said," Buhui, just a few people won't do. We will set up a scout team in the future. You will send scouts to scout the area five to six hundred miles away from us in the next few days. You must find out the water sources, the distribution of the tribes, their numbers, how many soldiers they have, and what kind of mountains, forests, roads, and so on. You must make full preparations for our next attack on the Xianbei people, Xiongnu people, horse thieves, and so on. Especially the situation in Yanmen and the surrounding areas, these were all very important.”
Lu Ning understood that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the northern plains, he had to make more preparations and understand the situation around him. Otherwise, only death awaited him. In this chaotic world, if one wanted to live longer, they had to pay more.
"My lord, my men don't know how to draw."”
L??Ning laughed. Drawing was too easy for a 21st century mechanical design major like L??Ning. "Don't worry, I will teach you when I have time. I will also teach you how to read. In the future, after you have learned a certain amount of words, you will have to learn some military tactics and read more books.”
"Yes, my lord," Li You said sincerely.”
Lu Ning thought for a while and knew that with his current strength, if he encountered the Xianbei or Xiongnu cavalry, he would not be able to win. He might even lose his life. In the movies and TV shows of the later generations, it was often said that the Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry came in groups. It seemed that he had to strengthen his strength and expand his influence.
"Buhui, we need to eliminate a portion of the mounted gangsters first. If we can subdue them, we can expand our strength and increase the number of our soldiers. This way, once we have a certain amount of strength, we will immediately attack the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and other tribes. If we were to attack the Xianbei and Xiongnu now, it would only be a small fight. It would be impossible to destroy their entire tribe. However, what I want to do is to completely destroy the small tribes. As for the large tribes, we can harass them and gradually destroy their effective strength until they are completely destroyed.”
In the following days, Lu Ning waited for the scouts 'reports while leading the existing soldiers for high-intensity training. Every morning, Lü Ning would lead the soldiers to run about ten miles. In the morning, they would have spear piercing training, and in the afternoon, they would have archery training. At the same time, they would also train in some cavalry formations, such as goose formation, cone formation, pillar formation, square formation, diamond formation, and so on.
When the soldiers were undergoing combat training, Lü Ning requested that they fight in real combat. They only needed to change their weapons into wooden weapons. Although there were injuries during training, it was better to be injured during training than to lose their lives on the battlefield. Therefore, after explaining things clearly to the soldiers, their enthusiasm was also very high, and the training effect was also quite obvious.
Lü Ning asked Li You to select a group of hunters who could draw a Kungfu bow for intensive training. Lu Ning wanted to train them into the best master archers, so that they would have unexpected results in future battles.
These soldiers used to be farmers and hunters. They didn't have any martial arts skills, but they were very good at archery. However, they didn't go through systematic training. It turned out that Li You himself didn't know these things. They were grouped together to see who was stronger, who was braver, and who was braver when killing enemies.
Lu Ning had to give them new systematic training. Although Lu Ning himself did not understand, he had more than a thousand years of knowledge than them. There were all kinds of things in movies, television, and the Internet, and all kinds of actions were discussed.
Lu Ning had seen some in the past. In addition, he had also learned a few sets of the People's Liberation Army's military boxing during military training. Those things were compiled by the martial arts masters of the country combined with thousands of actual combat conclusions. Their actual combat effects were very good.
Of course, Lu Ning would not let the soldiers train in complicated movements. He would only let the soldiers train in simple and practical movements. For example, the pikemen mainly practiced stabbing, while the shieldmen mainly practiced simple and practical bumping, bumping, squeezing, and dodging. The main training content of the saber technique was simple and practical chopping, chopping, cutting, knocking, and so on.
