Now in order to ensure that the autumn harvest here is not disturbed by the Zezhou government, Xiao Tianjian put Li Xuanzhu's third battalion and Liu Bao's fourth battalion here, and two months ago, he also transferred the three hundred young soldiers who had reached the age of seventeen in the Lianhuazhai Youth Battalion to here, enhancing the troop allocation here.

Don't look at the two battalions plus the juvenile battalion, there are only about 3,000 people, but for the officers and troops in Zezhou, they are already invincible opponents, the entire area of Zezhou, most of the area after the continuous encroachment of the Xingtian Army in the past few months, only the area of less than 20 miles around Zezhou City is still controlled by the government, which has basically made Zezhou a lonely city, so Xiao Tianjian is right, Zezhou is not a question of whether they can fight or not, but a question of whether they can fight or not. With the current officials and soldiers in Zezhou City, the people are already panicked, and they don't dare to come out to punish the tiger whiskers of the Heavenly Army.

After Xiao Tianjian left Yangcheng County, he came to the camp in Zezhou to inspect the training of the soldiers and horses of the two battalions in the past six months.

After the material situation gradually became abundant, Xiao Tianjian allocated a large number of cloths after the year, and made a new military uniform for the subordinates of the Xingtian Army.

Moreover, the cultivation of military discipline for a long time has made the soldiers and generals completely wash off the old atmosphere on their bodies, and the quality of soldiers is reflected in their gestures, which makes Xiao Tianjian quite satisfied after watching it.

After Xiao Tianjian entered the camp, both officers and soldiers stopped to salute Xiao Tianjian, and Xiao Tianjian also maintained a straight posture, and continued to salute these soldiers and generals along the way, making the entire military camp look very solemn.

When Li Xuanzhu, Zhao Erdonkey, Liu Bao and other camp generals learned the news and rushed to greet them, Xiao Tianjian had already entered the camp, and several people immediately saluted Xiao Tianjian and welcomed Xiao Tianjian into the camp.

And among them, there is a young officer who is very eye-catching, his age is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, although he still looks a little childish, but his figure is slightly taller than ordinary people, and he is also very strong, when he saw Xiao Tianjian, his eyes were a little bright, and his face was excited, this person was not an outsider, it was Liu Yaoben, who was regarded by Xiao Tianjian as a righteous son.

This guy is now seventeen years old, and in ancient times, after the man grew to fifteen, to the age of twenty, it was called the year of the dancing elephant, dance, martial arts, that is, he could pick up the fight and go to the battlefield.

In the past two years, Xiao Tianjian deliberately selectively sheltered quite a lot of orphans from the outside, the age is roughly about fourteen or fifteen years old, after more than a year of growth, plus a group of orphans such as Liu Yaoben, who was the first to be sheltered in the early stage, many orphans in the juvenile camp are over 16 years old, and they are already considered adults. Don't stay in the camp anymore.

Xiao Tianjian also after careful consideration, finally agreed, let the first batch of teenagers who have reached the age of seventeen, separate the juvenile battalion, select 300 people to form a separate army, temporarily call them the teaching battalion, the commander of the teaching battalion, Xiao Tianjian did not choose anyone else, directly appointed Liu Yaoben as the battalion general, 300 juveniles under his command, divided into three sentinels, no sentry 100 people, sentry generals, team generals are also from the juvenile battalion.

After they were selected into the juvenile camp, all of them received a good education, and everyone knew a lot of words, although they were not familiar with poetry and books, but they could basically get rid of illiteracy, and at the same time, all of them received at least one year of rigorous military training, and systematically learned some basic tactics.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Tianjian trained them as low-level officers, and the junior battalion was actually a junior non-commissioned officer school, preparing for the next expansion of the Xingtian Army in advance.

And these boys from the youth battalion, don't look at their age, but their military literacy is the best in the army, and the education they receive is basically brainwashing education, in their eyes, Xiao Tianjian is their god, they simply regard Xiao Tianjian as a god and worship, not to mention loyalty.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian has invested a lot of money for these teenagers, whether it is food, housing, or education, he will take out the best resources at hand, and now he has finally begun to enter the first harvest period.

And this independent battalion composed of teenagers is already considered a soldier, and it is temporarily directly under the command of Xiao Tianjian, and no one is allowed to interfere in their management.

Don't look at these 300 people are teenagers, but Li Xuanzhu, Liu Bao and other battalion generals did not dare to underestimate them, some time ago, the battalions inspected the school twice, and taught the battalion of these teenagers, all of them came out on top, and their discipline, fighting will and hard-working spirit greatly exceeded ordinary soldiers, so that no one dared to underestimate these hairy guys, and secretly called them the tiger wolf battalion, which means that they are all a group of tiger wolves, and will become a tiger and wolf division on Xiao Tianjian's hands.

And today Xiao Tianjian came to the camp in Zezhou, and Liu Yaoben, as the head of the teaching camp, naturally could be on an equal footing with Liu Bao and them, and came to see Xiao Tianjian.

"Don't go into the big tent, let's go directly to the school to have a look!" After Xiao Tianjian saw them, he just nodded slightly to Liu Yaoben, but he didn't say anything, and directly took them to the school.

At this time, the soldiers of the battalions were also conducting drills on the school ground, and Xiao Tianjian did not give them time to prepare at all, and directly entered the school field to inspect their training results.

After a large number of equipment such as birds, bayonets and thunderbolts, the training of soldiers in the Xingtian Army was also changing, and the personnel who were good at using guns in the army, through continuous attempts, summed up a set of simple, effective and powerful stabbing tactics, and began to promote them in the army.

Although the bird gun solves the problem of firepower output, in this era and even for a long time in the future, short-handed combat will not withdraw from large-scale wars, and many times it is still necessary to rely on bayonets to solve it head-on, so Xiao Tianjian has always attached great importance to the training of white-knuckle warfare since the beginning of the army.

The combination of bayonets and bird guns, as well as a large amount of equipment in the Xingtian Army, also makes ordinary firecrackers have relatively strong melee combat ability, and each firecracker can be transformed into a short spearman in an instant, with the ability to fight the enemy in close combat.

When Xiao Tianjian entered the school grounds, many officers and soldiers here were also training in bayonet fighting, and the majestic shouts of killing sounded everywhere in the entire school ground.

There were some scarecrows erected all over the school yard, and rows of musketeers, under the orders of the officers, rushed towards these scarecrows in rows, struggling with various movements, holding the bayonet with the bird guns, and repeatedly stabbing the bayonets into the scarecrows' bodies.

In the past, Xiao Tianjian was reluctant to take limited gunpowder and a very short-lived bird gun, and let the gunners conduct a large number of live-fire training, but now he can carry out this kind of training, on a shooting range in the east of the school field, there are also rows of gunners under the orders of the officers, constantly practicing loading and shooting, the sound of the platoon guns is constantly ringing, and there are soldiers at the target, loudly reporting the shooting results of the gunners, Those who pass can go back to the camp in the evening, and those who fail must be left behind, and after an hour of repeated gun aiming training, they can go back to the camp for dinner.

Of course, in addition to the firecrackers, there are also some pikemen and sword players in the various battalions and posts of the Xingtian Army, and in a short period of time, these two arms can not be completely eliminated from the establishment of the Xingtian Army, and these two arms are also undergoing rigorous training on the school field, and the pikemen are more for queue training, otherwise, after the pikemen are alone, the clumsy spears can only become the prey of the other party, and they are more required to gather together to face the enemy with dense gun formations, This was never forgotten in the training of the Celestial Army, who were the shields of the Musketeers, who could provide adequate protection for them in time of war.

The difference is that the knife players are now equipped with iron thunderbolts, so they have one more training task, that is, bomb throwing training, in the open field of the school field, a large group of knife players, are holding the thunderbolts, repeatedly throwing hard, after strict training, don't look at the current era of people are relatively short, but they can also throw the thunderbolt out of thirty paces away.

Moreover, Xiao Tianjian also saw that there were constantly soldiers who were pulled out by the officers because of their procrastination or unqualified movements, and they were punished with military sticks in public, and then they were driven back into the queue for training.

The rigorous training made each soldier exude a faint murderous aura, which was exactly what Xiao Tianjian wanted, so he finally created a real tiger and wolf army, so Xiao Tianjian stood on the edge of the school with his hands behind his back, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

After seeing Xiao Tianjian nodding, the battalion generals all breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the generals under their command did not disappoint Xiao Tianjian, otherwise, they would be reprimanded by Xiao Tianjian again this time.

Following Xiao Tianjian to do things, their gang of guys have become accustomed to Xiao Tianjian's strictness, don't look at Xiao Tianjian's leisure time, talk and laugh with them, but once they arrive at the school field, Xiao Tianjian seems to be a different person, and becomes a little unkind and strict, so that now these subordinates, what they are most afraid of is Xiao Tianjian's surprise inspection of their training, and they don't dare to slack off at all on weekdays.

"Excellent! It is not too much to describe our soldiers as fierce and fierce! Well done! Xiao Tianjian turned around and said with satisfaction to the generals who followed him.

"It's still the strictness of the general's requirements! The lowly officials dare not slack off! The generals immediately replied with their chests straightened.

Xiao Tianjian turned his head and entered the big tent with a few generals, waved his hand and immediately saluted and withdrew from the big tent, while Li Xuanzhu and the others immediately came to Xiao Tianjian's front with their eyes lit up.

"General, is there going to be a move again? The brothers below have been fighting a little bit during this time, and they have already choked enough! Where do we go this time? Li Xuanzhu asked Xiao Tianjian with an eager face.

And Zhao Erdonkey and Liu Bao were also eager to stare at Xiao Tianjian, wanting to know some information in advance.

But after Xiao Tianjian glanced at them, he asked them with a smile, "What are you anxious about?" Don't you feel comfortable resting like this? ”

Li Xuanzhu was also straight, and immediately shook his head and said, "Hehe! It's good to rest, but the brothers run in full gear every morning and evening, and these guys who run are a little unbearable! What's more, if there is no fight, there is no reward to take, and after a few small fights in the past few months, I am so anxious to jump up and down! Hey! ”

Xiao Tianjian is very satisfied with his subordinates' eagerness to fight, what he is worried about is that his subordinates have worn out their belligerent temperament for a long time without a big war, but now it seems that his worry is superfluous, the practice of the Xingtian Army to reward for salary has made the soldiers and generals in the army more and more belligerent, and there is no money to take if there is no war, so they would rather choose to fight than be happy to do so.

So he turned and sat down, and said to the guys, "You've guessed right, we're going to move our muscles!" Otherwise, you guys won't be able to settle down! But now I can't tell you exactly where you're going! When I wait a few days to discuss matters in Lotus Village, I will naturally tell you!

I'm here today to see how you're training, and now it seems that you haven't been lazy in the past few months, and this training is very good!

Since you also expected us to have action, then today I will arrange one thing first, from now on, based on the teaching camp, among the townships under our jurisdiction, select the best township soldiers 1,000 people, supplement them into the teaching camp, complete it within ten days, and complete the replenishment of equipment, and wait for orders at any time! ”

After Liu Yaoben heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement, and stood up with a red face and shouted: "Thank you, General!" Obedience! Guaranteed to complete the mission in 10 days! ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately realized that this time I was afraid that Xiao Tianjian was going to make a big move, although the hairy children in the teaching camp were separated from the juvenile camp two months ago, but after all, there were only three hundred people in the full battle, and they didn't play much role on the battlefield, at most, it was estimated that they could be used as a reserve, and as soon as Xiao Tianjian arrived here, he ordered to use the group of teenagers in the teaching camp as the basis to select the best township soldiers from all over the area controlled by the Xingtian Army to join the army, so it shows that Xiao Tianjian's action this time will definitely not be small. So they all raised their spirits.
