Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1738: The Way of the Heavy Cavalry!
"Push-ups are a training method to exercise the shoulders, arms, waist and abdomen. During training, the body should be kept in a straight line from shoulder to ankle, arms should be placed on the chest, and the distance between the hands should be slightly wider than the shoulders. ，Put your palms on 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 eccentric tent, 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, and his eyes widened. They looked inexplicable, because none of them had personally experienced this training method, so they didn't know how effective the actual training was, and no one commented on it for a while!
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, one needs to hold a fixed beam with both hands. The height of the beam is slightly higher than the height of the person. The last one back and forth is counted as one, and fifteen are 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, he can only use language 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, and Zhang Shigui, who had not spoken since entering the camp, closed his eyes at this time, as if he was thinking and like In the false sleep soundly, stay out of the matter.
Li Zexuan smiled and didn't get angry about it. After all, Zhang Shigui's military qualifications are there. He can ignore Sun Tao, but he can't 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 a horse and waving a horse. It’s okay to do slashing and stabs once or twice, but if they are facing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemies, everyone will swing their horses at least hundreds of times. Every soldier in the Xuanjia 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 lead Body-up training!"
After a moment of silence in the big tent, Li Zexuan slowly opened his mouth to analyze for everyone.
Heard, Sun Tao, Zhang Kangnian, Lu Da, and Sun Zhiping flashed a clear look. Zhang Shigui finally opened his eyes and opened his fist to Li Zexuan for the first time:
"This is the point of joining the army! As a heavy cavalry, the Xuanjia Army mainly uses the momentum of the horses on the battlefield to wield the horses to stab the enemy! Back then, the Saints used three thousand Xuanjia troops to break the king. In the 100,000 army, 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 in joining the army just now, 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, which made Li Zexuan a little surprised, and he secretly said in his heart that it seems that Lao Zhang is still quite "savvy" Well!
"Haha! General Zhang is so insightful!"
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 another surname Zhang Kangnian among the five major lieutenants of the Xuanjia Army. Of course, more importantly, With Zhang Shigui's military qualifications and the achievements recorded in history books, he really deserves the title of this general!
"Huh! Even if these push-ups and sit-ups are really useful, what 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 can the other four camp lieutenants who were present dare not agree? Sun Tao scratched his neck at this moment, looked at Li Zexuan, and then asked unconvincedly.
Li Zexuan glanced at this "big stupid man" lightly, and then said:
"The Xuanjia Army is certainly 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, which will consume much physical strength. Horror, just now 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 to the soldiers of the Xuanjia army! Long-distance running training is the best way to exercise endurance and increase physical strength! Only when soldiers can adapt to the usual high-intensity training under armour state~IndoMTL.com~, they can really do well on the battlefield!"
Speaking of this, Li Zexuan paused intentionally, 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 running exercises a person’s comprehensive abilities. 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 is very 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 mainly pursue and attack on the battlefield. The role of heavy cavalry, the main charge and melee combat!
Our soldiers wear 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! After 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? "
