Vol 2 Chapter 1738: The Way of the Heavy Cavalry!

"Push-ups are a way to exercise the shoulders, arms, waist and abdomen. During training, the body needs to be in a straight line from shoulder to ankle, arms should be placed on the chest, hands should be slightly wider than shoulders, palms Stick to the ground and support your body to move up and down. One back and forth counts as one, and one hundred is qualified! Just like this!"
In the Xuanjia army’s partial account, Li Zexuan explained the push-ups to Zhang Shigui, Sun Tao and others, while demonstrating it in person. It was the first time everyone saw such a strange movement, his eyes widened and his face looked inexplicable. , Because none of them have personally experienced this training method, so they don't know how effective the actual training is, and no one makes any comments!
After all, Li Zexuan's previous anger at Sun Tao and Zhang Kangnian is still vivid, and no one wants to hit the gun at this time!
"As for pull-ups, people need to grab a fixed beam with both hands. The height of the beam is slightly higher than the height of the person. After grabbing the beam, you can pull your body upwards by relying solely on the strength of your arms. Back and forth, count as one, and fifteen as qualified!"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zexuan went on to explain.
It's just that there is no horizontal bar in this camp, and he can't do a personal demonstration to everyone, only using words and some simple body movements to clarify.
One hundred push-ups and fifteen pull-ups. This standard is based on Li Zexuan's reference to the training standards of some modern troops.
Sun Tao, Zhang Kangnian, Lu Da, and Sun Zhiping were silent, and there was no expression on their faces. Zhang Shigui, who had not spoken since entering the camp, closed his eyes at this time, as if he was contemplating, and as if sleeping in a fake sleep. Stay out of the matter.
Li Zexuan smiled and didn't get angry about it. After all, Zhang Shigui's military qualifications were there. He could not put Sun Tao in his eyes, but he could not despise Zhang Shigui! The shadow of the famous tree!
"The purpose of push-ups and pull-ups is mainly to train the arm strength and shoulder strength of the soldiers. Just imagine what moves the Xuanjia army does most when on the battlefield? It is riding on a horse and swinging a horse to split. It’s okay to slash the spurs once or twice, but if they are facing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemies, everyone will swing their horses at least hundreds of times. Every soldier in the army wears heavy armor. As a result, the requirements for the arm strength and shoulder strength of the soldiers are even higher! This is why I want the soldiers to insist on push-ups and pull-ups. !"
After a moment of silence in the big tent, Li Zexuan slowly opened his mouth to analyze for everyone.
Hearing that, Sun Tao, Zhang Kangnian, Lu Da, and Sun Zhiping flashed a hint of clarity in their eyes. Zhang Shigui finally opened his eyes and said to Li Zexuan for the first time:
"This is what I said about joining the army! As a heavy cavalry, the Xuanjia Army mainly used the momentum of the horses on the battlefield to wield the horses to stab the enemy! Back then, the Sage used three thousand Xuanjia troops to defeat the king and become a 100,000 army. At that time, the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive that battle were unable to use their arms for half a month, because they killed too hard!
In that battle, did the soldiers wave their horses more than a hundred times? Some soldiers have been there thousands of times! Many soldiers were killed not because of injuries, but because they were really exhausted. They were accidentally cut off by the enemy, so they died! The old man just thought about the push-ups and pull-ups mentioned by joining the army, and felt that these two training methods can indeed strengthen the soldiers' arm strength, and the old man thinks this method is feasible! "
Surprise!
Zhang Shigui, as the oldest Xuanjia army general in this partial account, actually stood up to support Li Zexuan's new training method. This made Li Zexuan a little surprised and inexplicable. He secretly said in his heart that it seems that Lao Zhang is still quite "savvy"!
"Haha! General Zhang is really as insightful as a torch!"
Li Zexuan smiled and greeted Zhang Shigui with a fist.
The reason why Zhang Shigui is not called Xiaowei Zhang is that in addition to Zhang Shigui’s surname Zhang, there is also a surname Zhang Kangnian among the five lieutenants of the Xuanjia Army. Of course, more importantly, Zhang Shigui is The qualifications in the army and the achievements recorded in history books really deserve the title of this general!
"Huh! Even if these push-ups and sit-ups are really useful, how about long-distance running and fighting training? Our Xuanjia Army is a cavalry, so why do we have to run long? Why do we practice fighting?"
Zhang Shigui's qualifications are too old. He said that push-ups and sit-ups are useful. How could the other four camp lieutenants who were present dare not agree? Sun Tao stubbed his neck at this time, looked at Li Zexuan, and then asked unconvincedly.
Li Zexuan glanced at this "big stupid man" lightly, and then said:
"It is true that the Xuanjia Army is a cavalry, but it is a heavy cavalry. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army have to wear dozens of kilograms of heavy armor to fight the enemy bravely. This will be very terrifying to the physical consumption. General Zhang also said that when the saint led the Xuanjia army to defeat Wang Shichong, most of the soldiers who died in that battle died of exhaustion. This shows how important physical strength is for the soldiers of the Xuanjia army! And long-distance running training, It is the best way to exercise endurance and increase physical strength! Only by allowing soldiers to adapt to the usual high-intensity training under armour ~EbookFREE.me~ can they be truly comfortable on the battlefield!"
Having said that, Li Zexuan paused on purpose, in order to give the people in the account some time to digest. In fact, running is indeed the best way to train a person’s endurance and physical strength, and what running exercises is a person’s comprehensive ability. When a person is running, all parts of the body will move. Therefore, in modern times, running has become the most common way for humans. The way to exercise the body, but it was rare in the ancient army.
After a while, Li Zexuan continued to explain:
"As for why soldiers should be trained in combat, this is also very simple, or because our Xuanjia Army is a heavy cavalry! The light cavalry focuses on the skills of cavalry and shooting individual soldiers. They are mainly chasing and long-range strikes on the battlefield. The heavy cavalry is the main charge and melee combat!
Each of our soldiers wears hard armor, so we are not afraid of the enemy's dense arrow rain. We can use our body to tear the enemy's defensive formation through a hole, but what about after the charge? Does it automatically win? will not! When the charge is completed, the enemy formation will be in chaos. At this time, we need our soldiers and the enemy to carry out a melee fight. If the soldiers are personally weak, how can we kill the enemy? "
