Vol 3 Chapter 26: Recruits and training (2)


"Like the instructor?!" Alcinis smiled. "In that case, can you stay at home! Melishanda, get up, run for me... Melishanda, don't eat, follow me. To practice...Meilishanda, holding this stone, ten yards around the courtyard..." Alsini mimicked Matonic's tone and said exaggeratedly.
"Alsinis, do you want me to tell the instructor what you just said, to see who will run the stone for ten laps?" Melishanda threatened.
Alsini screamed for mercy, and Melishanda spared him.
Arsini asked again: "Are we really ready to attack Lukania?"
"We are so hard training, is it just to defend Amendola?!" Melishanda said disdainfully: "This is too much of our power!"
"Hey, you said -" Arsin was excited: "We have really conquered the land of Lucalia. Can I find a Lucania woman to be a wife? I have been optimistic about the new citizen’s Lu these days. Kalia’s wife is very good, tall and full, and able to do heavy work, different from the Greek women...

"You think about it now, too early!" Melishanda asked in surprise.
"I am not like you, my home is empty, I am alone..." Alsini sounded low.
"Then let us practice killing the enemy skills together, to conquer the Lucanias, to marry the Lucania women, and to have a bunch of children!" Melishan dad to encourage him.
"Yes, let's work together!" Alcinis and Melishanda's hands were tightly held together.
....................................
After the lunch, the recruits did not take a long break, and soon Arciennes were gathered again.
In the afternoon, the training was started by practicing personal killing skills, but not one-on-one slashing, but a group of three, holding a round shield on the left (this should be a heavier simplification made of thicker wood). Wooden shield, but now there is no time and manpower to make), right hand holding a long wooden stick that is heavier than the stab gun.
Alcinis found that the sticks in his hands were thicker, and the teammates who were cooperating were replaced by two younger companions, Melishanda and two younger companions. He cast doubts on the instructors who were supervising on the sidelines. Eyes.
Matones glanced at him and said harshly: "If you want to be a warrior, you have to train harder!"
Arsinis now understands what the former governor’s words mean. He did not argue, but succumbed to it.
At the beginning of the training, Arsenis first attacked. He screamed and held the round shield. He used his strength to slam into the "enemy" that was in front of him. The sound of "咣" sounded, and the "enemy" shook his body. He immediately stabbed the long wooden stick with lime powder on his right hand. To the round shield in the hands of another "enemy" hiding behind the "enemy", the spurting action must be fast, otherwise the "enemy" in the forefront will soon stand firm and block his offensive line...
Each person rotates to attack and block. After ten rounds of offense, take a break and then carry out a stepping puncture practice, that is, holding a round shield and a long wooden stick. The first step is to accurately hit the front of the humanoid target head before the wood. The number of people who have been stabbed the most is doubled.
After the ten rounds of contact are completed, rest for a while, the training continues, and it is still a trio, but this time the long wooden stick is replaced by a short wooden stick, the length is the same as the length of the sabre, and the wooden stick of Alsini is thicker. This time he did not doubt again. The practice content is still the impact, stabbing the "enemies" of the rear shield, but because the length of the stick is much shorter, this requires the attacker to use more force to hit the "enemy" in front, occupying his position to stab The "enemies" to the rear are also ten rounds of practice.
Then proceed to the next round of practice - hitting a humanoid target. First of all, it requires each recruit to use a wooden stick in the hands of the People's Bank will allocate to their target Atsugi production, Yigun Yigun abruptly into the mud, and firmly upright unchanging; then recruits armed with sticks And the round shield, just like the real enemy, do everything in its power to stab the "head" and "face" of the wooden target, sometimes attacking its two ribs, and sometimes stabbing its calves and cutting it into its armpits... ...
Under the strict requirements of instructors, who for a while back, while Yuejin, doing all kinds of thorns cut of the action ......
Etc. These training programs are completed, they are already tingling limbs, I could not get a little awkward.
At this time, Mato Nice to speak: "Your performance is better than the last time it seems to go back after the last time, he was not at home to do the exercises every day, so stick with it!?"
"Yes ......" recruits weakly answer.
"Good As such training continues, you will soon become a qualified Amendolara heavy infantry!." Mato Nice hint of a smile of encouragement: "Then we added a new training program, you will Go back to your company and train with the veterans."
It was not long before Matores finished speaking, and the military camp sounded the sound of the military. At the urging of Matones, the recruits were neatly dressed, picking up round shields and stabbing guns. Since they had been training with thick wooden sticks that were heavier than the lancets, they were now replaced with stab guns and felt light. Alsinis remembered the words that Martonis instructors said when they first responded to the complaints of the soldiers. 'When you train, you will get a heavier stick. On the battlefield, you have a real weapon that is much lighter. Then you It will feel very relaxed, and it will be more powerful and more energetic when fighting... ’
Alcinis remembered again: watching the city-state civic training of his father when he was young, only once in a few months, that is, practicing the queue in the banner, then one-on-one training, the training project is simple and easy, far from him. The training that is being carried out now is not only arduous and complicated, but also progressively, as if I was learning text as a child, it seems very reasonable, the requirements are very strict, and the training is also very large. It is no wonder that the veterans can defeat the Lukania coalition. ! I heard that these training methods are all from the training regulations in the new Armenia Lara's "Army Law", which was mainly written by the Archon Daves. He is a magical person!
Alcinis and Melishanda are not in a company. He has no time to say goodbye to Melishanda, and he hastily searched for the third company of his third team. Listening to the instructor Matonis said that the company's company commander called Gio Gris, and he used to be a tent comrade, temper and temperature.
He should not be tougher than the instructor Mattonis! Why did Alsini think so at the moment? After the sound of the military squad, thousands of people acted together, and the dust on the training ground was filled. What could barely be seen was the bright red eye-catching flag erected on the playground. Alsini looked for it and spent it. A lot of time, my heart is more and more anxious. Finally, he found the team he belonged to by the number on the flag.
When the captain Trotdis saw him, he said sternly: "Soldier, you are coming late! Considering that you are the first time, don't give punishment for the time being, hope you don't have another time!"
Arciennes claimed to be quickly returning to his position under the leadership of the team leader.
At this time, a man of about 30 years old came over and said to him kindly: "My name is Klipps, it is your captain."
"The captain is good!" Alsini said hello.
Klipps looked at him up and down and said, "Yes, it's a strong guy! Are you a recruit?"
"Yes."
"The original citizen of Amendola?"
"Yes."
"I guess that. Which instructor is training you?"
"Matonis."
"What?! That madman!"
"The captain knows the instructor Martonis?"
"I used to be in his company. Because of his excellent performance, this time he reorganized the army. The third team forced me to come over. Matones didn't want to let me go, but who is called Gio Gris is his good friend, so I It’s here, actually met with your student of Matones, this is the arrangement of the goddess of fate!
Kepsus’s expression of emotion, in fact, Matonis is too embarrassed, the third brigade When you come to someone, you will recommend him directly, and there is a way to stay.
"Do not worry, I will take good care of you!" Klipps said seriously.

Thank you, Captain!
said Alsini, grateful.
"Kepsps, ready to train, don't talk!" At this time, Trottidis shouted in front of the detachment.
"Know it!" Kipps replied, then whispered: "You can be a team leader. You are lucky. If I am the first to follow Davers, I will be the captain now..."
Alsini heard this ~EbookFREE.me~ I feel a little different.
The soldier next to him said: "Our captain is love, and people are very good."
hope so. Alsini thought about it.
Because the previous training intensity is very large, the team training, just let the soldiers familiar with their comrades, and carry out small square marching and jogging training. This kind of practice is just a kind of leisure for the first-team soldiers, because they are too familiar with each other, and for the third team, it is necessary because it is a new army. The detachment soldiers are not familiar with each other.
According to the tradition of the Greek city-state military training, the army officers are relatively fixed, and the soldiers are often replaced. When the soldiers are called, they will gather citizens to the square and randomly put them into the teams according to the order or lottery. This will prevent the same. Soldiers and team officers in the team will influence the normal political order and democratic elections of the city.
Davers thinks that a fixed military team is conducive to fostering cohesiveness and honor, and it is more united and cooperative in combat, and more combative. Therefore, the soldiers of Amendola Lara are fixed in a certain team, and the team officers have a certain term, and they are replaced at the expiration to prevent the soldiers from having (now not yet implemented).
