The sound of chiseling and pounding nails was heard in my ears, and it was the soldiers of the scout battalion who were hurrying to build the barracks.

As Ju Han said, the soldiers of the scout camp could stay in the main tent for a day or two, and it was impossible for them to live for a long time.

In Lin Yuyan's camp, in addition to Lin Yuyan and Jing Yi and other sect guards, there were also Fang Bo, Huang Lie, and the two brave Shiwu chiefs in the scout camp.

Huang Lie said: "The intention of joining the army is good, but now the scout camp is indeed a little chaotic......

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "It's nothing more than to standardize something...... Looking at the scout battalion non-commissioned officers strictly follow the establishment, from today onwards, it will be in accordance with the military system reform implemented by Han Xiang, how many people are in this scout battalion? ”

Huang Lie replied: "One hundred and twenty-four." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Hmm...... I see that there are still many old men in this scout camp who are over forty years old? ”

When Huang Lie heard this, he looked at Uncle Fang, who was extremely senior in the scout battalion, and also replied: "The edict of the Great Qin Dynasty to reduce the army has not yet entered the Wuguan garrison......

When Uncle Fang heard this, he also walked in front of Lin Yuyan in a few steps, knelt down and said, "Join the army, Lao Mou still has the strength to kill the enemy!" ”

Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Fang, don't worry, I don't want to drive you away, I might as well make it clear here that every old soldier in the scout camp will not be driven away!" ”

Hearing this, Uncle Fang felt a little relieved.

Lin Yuyan continued: "Look at this scout camp, there is no special manpower for cooking? ”

"This ......" Huang Lie was a little embarrassed, and said: "The scout camp is not as many as the first camp and the main camp camp, and everyone in the army is free to cook food......

"Since that's the case...... Lin Yuyan nodded and said: "Uncle Fang, whether the soldiers can eat enough is an important matter, this matter is cumbersome, young and frizzy, why don't you hand over this matter to the old soldiers in the army to be in charge?" ”

Now all the scout battalion soldiers have to do is such a thing, and it is not unacceptable for Lin Yuyan to entrust this matter to Fang Bo and other veterans in the army.

It was precisely because of this that Uncle Fang raised his head and clenched his fists and thanked Lin Yuyan: "Thank you for joining the army!" ”

But Uncle Fang thought about it and reminded him: "Joining the army, there are nearly twenty old soldiers in the scout camp, if they are only responsible for cooking, the manpower is really redundant!" ”

Lin Yuyan thought for a while and said: "It's not a matter of responsible food, now that Daqin's Nanyang Army has set up a tunnel camp in imitation of the Central Plains, it is responsible for the logistics of the army, so you might as well set up a tunnel camp with a scale of twenty people in the scout camp!" ”

Huang Lie asked: "Joining the army, if these things are done by the old soldiers, then what will the other scout battalion soldiers do?!" ”

"Training!"

"Training? Training? ”

No wonder Huang Lie's puzzled expression, there is no custom of long-term training among the customs of the old Qin people, and most of the soldiers recruited in the army are the elders of the family who teach the skills of killing the enemy and the rules in the military camp, even in the Central Plains of the Ji and Zhou periods, most of the soldiers are recruited temporarily, after all, the productivity is limited, and it is difficult to afford to maintain a huge army expenditure from time to time.

And those soldiers who only need to participate in training and do not engage in production are called [elite soldiers], like the [swordsmen] of Korea, and like the [Wei warriors] of the Wei State, all of them are like this.

As for the Qin State, the original Nanyang Army was a semi-finished product modeled after the Central Plains, and the current Nanyang New Army is a real elite army!

As for the Wuguan garrison, they still maintain the primitive style of the old Qin people, go into battle for the soldiers, and serve the people after the war, as for the systematic military training, the old Qin people don't care, they only care about their own strength.

This is also why, when the soldiers of the Northern Qin Dynasty gathered 500,000 old Qin people, they were defeated by the 50,000 Wei soldiers of the Jin Wei clan at the beginning.

When Huang Lie replaced the "training" mentioned by Lin Yuyan with "training", the people in the field understood.

As an old Qin person, an old Qin person who believes in his own bravery, when he saw the Nanyang New Army coming to support him, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Thousands of people swing together, thousands of people slash swords, and thousands of people shoot arrows together, which is indeed yearning, especially after seeing the example of the Nanyang Army, it has become a kind of desire. ，

"Now that the food sent out by the army really doesn't need to go out to forage for food, it's time to train some soldiers in martial arts, and if you haven't been in battle for a long time, you're a lot rusty!"

Huang Lie said, and Uncle Fang next to him also replied: "Indeed, what's the point of handing over those trivial things to us old guys, let these juniors practice martial arts well for the time being, so that they can go into battle and kill the enemy!" ”

Seeing that everyone was so interested, Lin Yuyan also nodded and said: "That's true, so let's do it, after building the barracks within three days, we will start training the soldiers, as for food, there is no need to save it, there is no food in the defenders, and there are some herds of cattle, horses and sheep in those Rongdi tribes!" ”

"Joining the army actually took a fancy to Rongdi's food ......" Ju Han smiled when he heard this, and then swept around, and said honestly: "Joining the army, if you throw away the old soldiers, the scout camp is worth a hundred people, and if you want to grab food in the Rongdi tribe, I'm afraid it will not be easy to ......."

Hearing this, Huang Lie and other scout battalion soldiers also thought so......

"It's man-made!" Lin Yuyan didn't want to explain too much, so he only said this.

In this way, the scout battalion soldiers moved all the things that had been dismantled from the original camp to the new camp, and after the fire-roasted bamboo was dehydrated, they were inserted in the foundation that had been dug, and the bamboo wall was already discharged.

These bamboos are all half-zhang long bamboos that have been truncated into the ground, and there is a full zhang on the surface of the ground, except for the half-zhang that has been submerged into the ground.

In the past, it was quite difficult for the camp tents to be taller than the heads of people, and most of the camps still had to be bent down to move inside.

It's not that they're lazy, it's that the scout battalion soldiers need to go out and find food on their own.

It's just one day, and the dozen or so new camps in the new camp have begun to see the scale, and they only need to add tops to the camps and paint mud to make up for the gaps in the bamboo walls!

Linen soaked in tung oil for a few days, even if the water can not penetrate, it is the most practical waterproof material, tung oil is easy to get, but the linen cloth ...... These old Qin people were reluctant to make a single set of clothes, so they used them to build camp tents, and the soldiers of the scout camp also made great sacrifices!

It's hard in winter, and the people are fine, but I can't stand the thirty or forty war horses in the scout camp, and the scout camp is often a mix of people and animals, but Lin Yuyan insisted on building a horse shed, which was the first to be built.

The old Qin people's feelings for horses are second only to their wives and children, and they are almost equal to the two.

Therefore, even if the cold wind is still blowing, the horses will be placed first.
