Chapter 1679: Training
When he was healing Wadu, Xuan Bao checked his body, and this young man did have some talents that were different from ordinary people, but he had no chance of enlightenment.
This phenomenon is not a minority, not everyone can open the spirit, many people do not have much aura since birth, and that bit of foundation will be quickly consumed as they grow.
But not being able to open the spirit does not mean that this person will be abolished in the future, many people are not spiritual cultivators, but they have the ability and status that most spiritual cultivators do not have, not to mention far away, the generalissimo of the Xuan Army, You Yong, is an example!
What the Rat King values is also his heart and perseverance, as long as he has these two conditions, coupled with proper training, this person will become a great talent in the future!
Based on this, the Rat King will have the heart to love talent and accept this young man as an apprentice. And Wadu was originally clever, the old man in front of him can be with the life-saving benefactor, it must be not simple, and everyone here may be a master he has not met before, who can accept him as an apprentice, it is all his creation!
So Wadu didn't even hesitate at all, he agreed to the wish of the Rat King, he was indeed too eager to strengthen himself, thinking of his father and mother falling under the butcher's knife, his heart would twitch like a knife through it!
If my ability had been stronger, my father and mother would not have died, the old leader would not have died, and the golden horseshoe would not have been robbed!
Therefore, in order to take revenge, he will not let go of any opportunity to strengthen himself! Even if he takes revenge, he will not let himself live such an incompetent life again, he must have enough strength to protect himself, protect his friends and relatives around him, because he will not live alone forever!
When I went out of the original realm, it was already dawn. The Rat King also took Wadu out of the original realm and placed him in the military camp. Now Wadu's injuries are not healed, and when he doesn't need to take medicine, the Rat King will let him follow the officers and soldiers to participate in training, and even marry Hongshi Mountain to participate in the battle!
War is the best opportunity to make a man strong, and the Rat King wants to show Wadu what real war looks like, so that he can get rid of revenge as soon as possible.
In this life, people can't just rely on a thought of revenge to support their will, which becomes the only reason to live.
And on the battlefield of your life and death, the most important thing for a person to experience the meaning of living is this, this is the first training of the Rat King to Wadu, the purpose is to strengthen his state of mind!
A scout team of twenty people has been dispatched, these people are the elite selected from the bandit army, they are much more flexible than others, and they have a clear mind and quick reactions.
The Sky Breaker Army has not fought for many years, and even the usual training has become very lazy, but not all people are like this, and some people have not completely lost their true colors as soldiers, after all, they have been stained with the blood of the enemy on their hands, so if they want to move, they can also recover their bodies as soon as possible or approach the original level.
This is the case with this group of scouts, who have been tasked with surveying Redstone Mountain. At the same time, the intensive training of the troops was also launched.
Training is not a matter that can be effective in a day or two, even if it is a month given by Xuanbao, there will be no earth-shaking changes, but the effect is always there, and the purpose of training is just to make the next battle become less dead bandits, that's all.
In the course of training in the past few days, the bandit suppression army has not been idle. The gang of horse bandits also sent people to harass or spy from time to time, Liu Ayi took his ten subordinates and personally played a game of cat and mouse for everyone, killing all 30 horse bandit spies on the Gobi Desert!
This hand really calmed everyone. Coming all the way from the prairie, the bandit army has always used several times the strength of the horse bandits in exchange for some insignificant victories, and the action of the leaders this time directly made the bandit army see the powerful power of the soldiers to fight together, which is not at all comparable to those horse bandits who don't even know the formation!
In fact, the actual combat ability of the reserve reinforcements is not too good, after all, they have just been brought out and participated in a battle at the Soul Mouth. However, the teachings experienced by the reinforcements are unique, and even the Xuanjun Heavenly Soldiers cannot compare with them!
Not to mention the archers, the teachers who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, even the eighteen concubines are all taught. Among them, there are not only generals like Huya and Inexplicable who have really led the army to fight, but also Jianghu assassination masters like Lian Xin Tieyi, so whether it is the arrangement of troops or personal strength, the strength of the reserve reinforcements is higher than that of the heavenly soldiers, and Liu Ayi's ability is enough to be the head of the Heaven-Breaking Army, and even it is already overkill, and if he is given ten times more troops, he can also be trained!
In the first seven days, these old soldiers who came out of the sky-breaking city really couldn't withstand the high-intensity drills, and on the school field with the Great Gobi as the background, the cries and shouts resounded day and night, and some even became deserters.
After being arrested, Liu Ayi did not deal with them with the actual military law, but asked them to make meritorious contributions to hunt down the horse bandit spies who came to harass them.
People on both sides are constantly sending spies to each other, and a group will be sent in about two or three days to keep abreast of each other's movements. It was only after Liu A's subordinates killed thirty spies. The side of Hongshi Mountain no longer dared to send large-scale spies, and there were only three or five people at a time, and as soon as they found that the situation was wrong, they immediately turned around and ran!
A dozen deserters went after five horse bandit spies, and finally two came back, six were killed, and the rest were missing! Fortunately, all five horse bandit spies were killed after all!
This is the strength of the bandit army, and it is also the gap with the reserve reinforcement army. After this incident, those old soldiers in Sky Breaking City finally quieted down a lot, although they still felt that the training was very hard and unbearable, but there was no fierce resistance, and even the two deserters who came back alive took the initiative to enter the training.
In seven days, the first batch of 20 scouts sent to Redstone Mountain finally returned, but only eight people came back! The rest all died in Redstone Mountain, these people were selected from 50,000 people, but more than half died at once!
Fortunately, they finally completed the task and brought back the horse bandit deployment map of Hongshi Mountain, and the eight people who came back were all injured, but their expressions and temperaments were much more resolute and calm than before.
"It can still be practiced, as long as it takes a few more months, these people may not become a strong team. The Rat King stood on the grassy slope and looked at the Sky Breaker Army that was practicing in the distance.
Xuan Bao nodded, but sighed softly, he knew that it would be impossible to have more than a few months here! The grain and grass brought by the Broken Sky City were sufficient, but when he came over on the prairie, he was robbed by the horse bandits, and later he also did similar things as the horse bandits, robbing some cattle and sheep of the grassland tribes, and only then did he survive until now.
Here, it is very difficult to replenish grain and grass, not to mention the hostility of these western Xinjiang tribes to the bandit army, even if everyone is safe, there is no extra food in this barren place, even the locals are digging wild vegetables to eat, and the army has turned three meals a day into two meals a day, and in a few days, it may become one meal a day!
Fortunately, Emperor Zun came, there was a lot of food in the Origin Realm, and a group of spiritual cultivators ate just to replenish the energy of the body, and the difference between three meals a day and one meal a day was not big, so some food and grass were provided to the bandit army, but it was not much, because the fertile land in the Origin Realm was also destroyed because of the war!
The current grain and grass can only last for two months, and within these two months, it is necessary to pacify the western Xinjiang, and all the horse bandits must be wiped out, and then the class will return to the court. Therefore, the one-month period for suppressing bandits, the one-month time limit for marching, no matter which step it is, is rushing for time!
In the big tent, Yuan Qi and the generals were carefully looking at the horse bandit deployment map brought back by the scouts. More than 10,000 horse bandits turned the entire Hongshi Mountain into a stone fortress, relying on the natural danger of the Red Stone Mountain, and the horse bandit camp in the middle of the Red Valley was tightly covered!
There was only one way in and out of the valley, and the horse bandits had laid out 3,000 men there, laying high stone walls, and if an enemy rushed in, those stone walls would turn into a rain of stones falling from the sky, burying all the troops and horses underneath!
Liu Ayi and his cronies are not here, their task is to train this army, as for how to fight the battle, it is not within their authority, so they will not care.
Seeing Xuanbao and the Rat King coming in, all the soldiers turned around and saluted. After the past few days of training, these generals are also exhausted, but the figures in their eyes are much brighter than before.
Xuan Bao stood in front of the table, looked at the map on it, raised his eyes and said to Yuan Qi, "How is it, have you thought of how to attack?"
"No!" Yuan Qi blushed and said to Xuan Bao honestly: "There are steep cliffs all around, and the road in and out of the valley is a trap, so if you attack hard in this battle, it will be very dangerous, and the casualties will be very large!"
Xuanbao nodded, although the Red Stone Mountain is not the kind of cliff that birds do not cross, but the stone mountain that has experienced the Gobi wind blowing for thousands of years does not seem to see a single edge and corner on the outer edge, and the height of three hundred zhang can definitely kill anyone, so such a terrain can only be attacked head-on.
However, once a frontal assault is carried out, the casualties will increase, and when the time comes, a large number of people will be used to consume the long stone wall leading to the valley, and even if they really enter, there will not be many people left, and it will not be able to effectively attack the horse bandits at that time!
50,000 against 10,000 is not a big disparity in strength, especially in this kind of battle similar to siege warfare, such a number has no chance of winning for the attacking side!
"General, I think it's better to let my people go up first!" The man who spoke was a very thin man, just looking at his figure, it seemed as if he was malnourished, a man in his twenties, but he looked like a child of thirteen or fourteen years old!
Yuan Qi frowned, and said to this person: "Yuan Lang, this is not the Hidden Bow Mountain of the Heaven-Breaking City, don't mess around!"
The man named Yuan Lang smiled slightly, shook his head and said to Yuan Qi: "I didn't mess around, it's just that my life was originally saved by the old general, and he gave me my life." My 30 brothers all remember the kindness of the old general! Before leaving, the old general said that this battle must be won!"
