Chapter 42 Military Training

It wasn't until the afternoon, after the snow stopped, that Wang Baoshan left the lobby of the Chinese army and rushed back to Lin Hai in the mountains behind the house.

As soon as he returned to his hut, he began to pack his things, and he was really reluctant to live with the soldiers in the future, and he could no longer live here.

was cleaning up, but Wu Meili suddenly came over, still holding a pair of cotton shoes in her hand, saying that she asked him to bring them to Luo Ying.

"Brother Wang, isn't it good here? Why are you going to be a soldier?" Wu Meili asked as soon as she came.

Wang Baoshan saw that Wu Meili was thinking about making cotton shoes for Luo Ying, and he was a little sour and vinegar, so he said angrily: "You girl's family, what do you know..."

"Hmph... Here you are..."Wu Meili saw that he was a little reluctant to help her send cotton shoes, so she took another pair of cotton shoes from behind her.

"Hehe... Miss Wu, you're so nice... I went to be a soldier, not so that you can live a good life all the time..."Wang Baoshan took the cotton shoes and smiled.

"Luo Ying is also a soldier! I will practice every day in the future, and I won't have time to meet again, so you will go too, who will I talk to in the future!"

"Hehe, you can also go to him! It's not far away..." Wang Baoshan couldn't help but be happy when he heard her say this.

"How good is it for my girl's house... Never mind... I'll go back..."Wu Meili left after speaking, and her mood seemed a little low.

Wang Baoshan looked at her, and the tall back that was gradually moving away, in the snow, seemed to be a little dim, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable. I thought that the girl's family was really fickle, and turning her face was faster than turning a book. didn't care about her, he was still busy, and wrapped the Mochizuki Guqin, picked out daily things, and stepped on the snow all the way to his barracks behind the lobby of the Chinese army.

In the following days, Wang Baoshan led the soldiers in his battalion to practice every day and learn the skills of culling.

But he didn't know anything about the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he had to rely on Wang Qiang to arrange Luo Ying and Yang Zhuoyi to come to his barracks temporarily to help train the soldiers, and he could barely cope with it.

When Wang Baoshan was fine, he also practiced martial arts together, and also found some books such as marching notes and the art of war, which he read when he had time, and he was very busy every day.

After the beginning of winter, the weather was cold, and it rained several heavy snows intermittently, and Zhang Kai and others in the city did not move for a while, obviously hesitating about the cold weather, not suitable for outdoor activities, and all cats were in the warm Guanping City, hiding for the winter.

This just gave the Black Wind Army a respite, and after the establishment of the army, many sergeants in the whole army were not afraid of the wind and snow, practiced diligently every day, and practiced all kinds of combat skills.

The more difficult the environment, the more it can stimulate people's fighting spirit. Wang Baoshan now, if he doesn't practice every day, he doesn't sweat, and he doesn't rest. Although there is still a long way to go from being free and proficient, it is at least much stronger than before, when there was no power to restrain the chicken.

Moreover, although the soldiers assigned to his battalion were all mine slaves, most of them were good-handed, some had served as guards in the city before, and some had mixed in gangs, so they also had some foundation.

plus Luo Ying and Yang Zhuoyi, one taught them archery, and the other taught them to practice swordsmanship, so that more than 30 soldiers could be regarded as having a good harvest.

Wang Baoshan knew that archery was not accurate, so with the help of Yang Zhuoyi, he developed a set of easy-to-learn knife techniques for him, and practiced diligently every day, and he also gained a little bit.

"Brother Liu, your marksmanship is good!"

On this day, when Wang Baoshan was inspecting the soldiers in the barracks for drills, he looked at a young soldier playing with a spear in his camp, and couldn't help but praise him.

"General Wang, let you laugh, I am the heir of the Liu family gun. This young man named Liu Qing is the same age as Luo Ying, and he is also one of the mining slaves that Wang Qiang rescued from the Li family's iron mine.

can control the team of 100 people, this centurion can also be regarded as the title of general, although it is only a false title, but the general sergeant will use it to show his honorific title, otherwise it is a violation of discipline.

"What... Is it the Liujia gun from Huangjiang Prefecture?" Yang Zhuoyi on the side heard this and exclaimed.

"Why is General Yang, do you also know the Liu family gun?" Liu Qing was also taken aback when he saw Yang Zhuoyi exclaim.

"I am not the descendant of the Yang family knife in Guanping City, and I have heard my father say it before...... I really didn't expect that the descendants of the Liu family's guns would end up here..."

"Alas..."Liu Qing sighed, did not answer, and continued to practice his marksmanship.

Wang Baoshan saw that he didn't want to say more, and he couldn't, although he was a commander in the barracks, he never forced his subordinates.

Yang Zhuoyi told him some things about the Liujia gun, which made Wang Baoshan sigh for a while.

It turns out that the Liujia gun in Huangjiang Prefecture and the Yang family knife in Pingcheng, Guan, were once famous martial arts families. This Liu family's marksmanship is superb, and it was an unrivaled existence against the enemy, so there are many family members who serve as generals and guards in the official mansion. Unexpectedly, Liu Qing has now been reduced to being a mining slave, and finally came down to Heifengling by chance, and no one knows the reason for this, unless he says it himself.

Needless to say, Liu Qing is a hard-working teenager again. Wang Baoshan saw that he was not very old, so he arranged for him to be his own personal entourage, and he didn't have to do some chores at ordinary times, and let him learn swordsmanship and archery with Yang Zhuoyi when he had time, which was regarded as taking care of him.

In addition to drills, Wang Baoshan ate and lived with the soldiers every day, and it was fine at first, but after there were more people, when they slept at night, they snored like thunder. He couldn't stand it very much, so he was alone in the camp and slept in a single room.

On this day, I had dinner. He was about to go back to the house to sleep, but found that there was a fire in the house, thinking that this Liu Qing didn't like to talk, but he was very careful, and the chief had not come back yet, so he lit the brazier in the house with firewood.

But when Wang Baoshan entered the house, he found that there were two people sitting in the house, but they were Xu Feng, who was a shogunate general, and Du Xiaosan, a quartermaster.

Wang Baoshan stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Third brother, Brother Xu, are you here?"

"Big brother, your personal soldier is good! As soon as we came, he let us in, and made a fire, and told us to wait, saying that you went to the house where the soldier lived, and checked to see if there was any leakage..." Du Xiaosan roasted the fire and smiled.

"On a snowy day in this cold winter, I practiced hard during the day, and if I didn't sleep well at night, how could it be done. Wang Baoshan also sat down by the brazier and said while roasting the fire.

Du Xiaosan said: "That's good, I'm still worried that you are not used to being here." ”

"I practice every day, my body is stronger, and my strength is greater. It's just that your quartermaster department can give us more quilts and cotton clothes, and the food in the room is not very delicious..."Wang Baoshan smiled.

"General Wang, the chief has a small stove meal! They didn't send it to you?" Xu Feng on the side was a little puzzled.

Du Xiaosan said with a smile: "General Xu, you don't know yet, my eldest brother eats and practices with his subordinates every day, and the small stove rice is estimated to be eaten by his subordinates." Then, he said to Wang Baoshan: "Big brother, don't be picky, you also know that it is the cold winter wax moon, how can there be anything delicious, the steamed vegetable soup every day is already very good." ”

"Okay! These are trivial matters, you must have something to do with me this time? Otherwise, on such a cold day, and you came here at night, is it for the sake of drinking? But the military order strictly prohibits drinking without permission, and I don't have any wine here! Hehe..." Wang Baoshan roasted the fire, and the people were warm, and got up and poured a bowl of hot tea for each of them.

Du Xiaosan glanced at Xu Feng and said, "Big brother, I can't hide it, but this time I have something to ask the brothers in your camp to help you with one or two." It's not that the weather is cold just now, and the food and grass in the house can't keep up with the supply. So, we're looking for someone to go out and get some food to come back. ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he said: "Where to look for it, how to find it, it won't be to rob it, right? This year's drought has made the people's harvest not very good, and even if we want to rob it, there won't be much!"

"It seems that the eldest brother has seen a lot more recently, and even knows so clearly that the people's harvest is not good!" Du Xiaosan was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "Now that we have established an army, we must not be like before." But we can borrow it, go to the city and find someone to borrow it..."

"Who are you looking for to borrow?" Wang Baoshan listened, looking confused.

"Hehe, who else can I look for, of course it's Li Tengfei. Xu Feng on the side smiled mysteriously.

said that he was going to the city to find Li Tengfei to borrow grain and grass, Wang Baoshan couldn't help but be confused by them, so he asked them how to borrow it?

Du Xiaosan no longer concealed it, and told Wang Baoqiang about how to borrow grain and grass one by one, but it made him frightened.

After the next day's drill, Wang Baoshan summoned the soldiers in the camp and asked them to prepare, saying that they had something to do in the evening.

The thirty-six soldiers in the battalion were a little hesitant at first, most of them were mine slaves. After coming to the Black Wind Ridge, it didn't take long for him to join the Black Wind Army, and he hadn't gone out yet, and now he was suddenly going out, and he was worried.

Wang Baoshan had no choice but to explain the reason to them, and told them about the lack of grain and grass in the house. This was related to the big guy's stomach problem, and emphasized the importance of this matter, and he also told them that the brothers in the other battalions had something to do and could not pull away.

Moreover, in the recent period, you have not done anything for the army in your daily drills! As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while. Now that there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, it is the time for the big guys to contribute.

In the end, Wang Baoshan also said to the soldiers that those who are willing to go can go, and those who are unwilling to go can also go, not reluctantly, all by volition.

It's no wonder that the Black Wind Army has just been established, and the mood of many soldiers has not yet changed, so they can only move with affection and reason, so that they can gradually accept military orders and carry out tasks.

Having said that, most of the soldiers, not the ungrateful, were willing to go. It is said that this exercise is a long time, and it is the time to exert the heat, and no one will back down.

Seeing that all the soldiers agreed, Du Xiaosan transferred dozens of cotton jackets and cotton shoes worn by ordinary people from the quartermaster camp, saying that they would let everyone change into them, and then they would enter the city in disguise.

Then, he asked people to pull more than a dozen big carriages, and after preparing some dry food, the big guys packed up, hid their weapons, and left Heifeng Ridge.

Du Xiaosan didn't follow, but Xu Feng came, saying that he had a response when he entered the city.

Because Zhang Kai and Li Tengfei got together, Han Shu couldn't stay in the city, and now only Xu Feng and other newcomers can move in the city.

For the sake of safety, Luo Ying and Yang Zhuoyi also came, and they never left Wang Baoshan's left and right, presumably these were arranged by Wang Qiang.

In fact, in the entire Black Wind Army, only Wang Baoshan and them can really go into the city to do things, because these people are more common people and easy to manage. As for the people of the other battalions, most of them are fierce and vicious, and it is difficult to manage them when they enter the city, and those people are all bandits who have registered in the city, and they are easy to be discovered by the guards patrolling the streets, and it is inconvenient to do things.

Fortunately, it has snowed in the past few days, and the road surface has been frozen hard, Wang Baoshan led everyone to trek all the way. It wasn't until late at night that I found a deserted and dilapidated house outside Guanping City, so I stopped to light a fire, ate dry food, and took turns to keep vigil. The rest of the people hurry up and rest.

But they waited for the daybreak, opened the gates, and went into the city.
