Chapter 36-Yue Fei's Training
The ten thousand newly recruited soldiers were all gathered on a plain outside Kaifeng City for unified management and training.
Today was the first day of training for this new army.
If a newly recruited army had not undergone any training, even if it was equipped with a titanium alloy saber, its combat effectiveness would still not be very high.
An army like this would be a motley crew on the battlefield.
The equipment in his hands was also a weapon for the enemy to kill him.
Therefore, Li Chengdao didn't lead his army to Youzhou Province after the one-month recruitment.
Instead, he would first train this new army.
They would need to train for at least a month before they could set off.
As for the constant urging from Chang 'an, Li Chengdao ignored it.
There was no fixed date for the march. Wasn't it normal for it to drag on for three to two months?
As for the important task of training this new army, it was handed over to Yue Fei.
Yue Fei, as a famous general who fought against gold, left behind a good reputation for thousands of years.
He was undoubtedly a top-notch military expert.
He was very proficient in arranging troops and formations.
On the drill ground, 16,000 new recruits were densely packed.
Yue Fei was wandering around the drill ground, constantly giving out his training tasks.
Li Chengdao and Jia Xu walked around and found that Yue Fei was mainly training the coordination ability of the soldiers and various formations.
The soldiers formed a formation of three to five, and on the battlefield, everyone's ability was brought to the extreme.
The strength of an army did not depend on the bravery of a single soldier or general, but more on the overall cooperation.
In a battle, even someone as brave as Xiang Yu was of limited use to the entire battlefield.
Unlike the cavalry, which charged and surrounded the enemy, the infantry often formed a battle formation and faced the enemy with a dignified momentum.
They were often faced with large-scale chaotic battles.
Therefore, by forming a formation of three to five, forming small groups to avoid the situation of individual fighting, they could perfectly display their combat strength.
Jia Xu stroked his goatee and kept nodding in praise.
"Your Highness has a great strategist under him. This kind of training method can be said to be very brilliant.
Once they were trained, they would be honed on the battlefield, and the new recruits would immediately become elite soldiers.”
Hearing Jia Xu praise Yue Fei, Li Chengdao was also very happy in his heart.
Feng Li, who had come over to accompany Li Chengdao to inspect the recruits, also sighed and said,"
"Your Highness has a good eye for people. Previously, this general was still a little unconvinced that Your Highness had given this new army to General Yue to train instead of General Xue.
After looking at it for half a day, this general was really convinced.
General Yue was indeed brilliant in leading troops, and it was truly admirable.”
Feng Li and Xue Wanche were old ministers of the Eastern Palace who had followed Li Jiancheng to the battlefield and made great contributions.
As for Yue Fei, he had only joined halfway and had no previous achievements.
However, he was highly regarded by Li Chengdao.
Although Feng Li didn't say it out loud, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart.
But now, it seemed that Yue Fei's performance had proven his talent and Li Chengdao's judgment was right.
"It's still too early for General Feng to admire me now." Li Chengdao smiled faintly.
Yue Fei was a commander, and his talent was far more than that.
Asking him to train new recruits was a waste of his talent.”
When Feng Li heard this, he could not help but be shocked.
As a general, he led the army to attack and fight.
As a commander, he planned the overall situation and made strategies.
Since ancient times, famous generals were common, but famous generals were rare.
Feng Li never expected that Li Chengdao would give Yue Fei such a high evaluation.
"Your Highness."
Finally, Li Chengdao and his group arrived in front of Yue Fei. Yue Fei also hurriedly bowed.
"General Yue, there's no need to be so polite. I'm only here to watch General Yue train his soldiers."
After a round of inspection just now, he had to admit that the general's training methods were not bad.
I am very relieved to hand over these sixteen thousand new soldiers to the general.”
Yue Fei humbly replied,"I'm just familiar with the art of war. I've summarized a set of methods through my own shallow understanding. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, Your Highness."”
The two of them discussed the matter of training new recruits for a long time.
Li Chengdao suddenly said,"General Yue's training method is indeed excellent, but it is biased towards the practice of military formations and the assistance of troops."
However, he couldn't take into account the strength of the soldiers 'bodies.”
Hearing this, Yue Fei immediately knew that Li Chengdao had more to say.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" he asked hurriedly.”
"I have a set of body-tempering techniques that can make the soldiers stronger and more powerful," Li Chengdao said with a smile.
With a group of strong soldiers, coupled with General Yue's army formation, they would definitely be able to train an army that could gallop across the world.
In addition, I also have a set of training methods that can quickly condense the might of the army and sharpen the spirit of the army.”
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Yue Fei's eyes immediately lit up.
Li Chengdao's words just now could be said to be exactly what he wanted.
He was proficient in military formations and how to train soldiers to fight in groups of three to five.
However, he wasn't very good at quickly condensing the might of the army, tempering the army's soul, or refining the body.
For example, there had been no systematic training method since ancient times. Every general had their own method of leading troops, so it was difficult to unify them.
It was said that Wu Qi had mastered a set of exquisite body-tempering techniques, which was why he had trained the famous Wei Wu soldiers.
50,000 soldiers of the Wei army defeated the Qin army that was ten times their number. This was a miracle.
As for the training method that could quickly gather military might, Yue Fei had never heard of it before.
Looking at Yue Fei whose eyes were already shining, Li Chengdao said,"I'll organize a set of body tempering techniques and training methods that can quickly condense military might for you.”
Yue Fei was overjoyed," Thank you, Your Highness!”
Li Chengdao waved his hand to let Yue Fei continue with his matters, and he went to the White Robe Army to inspect.
These 7,000 soldiers and 16,000 new soldiers were his capital to fight against Li Shiming.
