After Li Yao returned to the mansion, he saw a person waiting in the mansion, and after asking, it turned out to be the shopkeeper sent by the county order to follow Li Yao to buy wine in Yi County!

When the man saw Li Yao coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The villain Zu Maocai, I have seen Master Hou!" ”

Li Yao didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Do you have enough silver on your body?" If you don't have enough money to buy your agency in Kangshan County, is the caravan ready! ”

Zu Maocai nodded respectfully: "Master Hou, don't worry about the money, it's absolutely sufficient, and at the same time, I have already organized a caravan, as long as you give us an order, we can set off at any time!" ”

Unexpectedly, this county order was very quick to prepare for the matter of making money, Li Yao said: "Since you are ready, let's set off later!" ”

Li Yao didn't want to stay in Kangshan County for too long, he wanted to rush back to Yi County now, Yi County still had a lot of things to do!

Kangshan County was only five days away from Yi County, and Li Yao took Qizhi and Fuchuan to get into the prepared carriage and start on the road.

The caravan is not very large, only about 100 people, plus a team of city guards escorted by the county commander, there are only about 200 people! The county town guards are not allowed to leave the county without the order of the military department, so the city guards sent by the county order are all disguised and dressed in civilian clothes!

Although he was wearing civilian clothes, he knew that it was an army when he looked at the pace of the march, Kangshan County was a border county, and the city guards were not vegetarians, and the army trained every day was indeed very different from ordinary guards!

The leader was a young man, patrolling on horseback, occasionally speaking to the soldiers, as if asking for something. Li Yao's team rate was quite interesting, so he pointed at the young team leader and shouted, "You, come here!" ”

Hearing Li Yao's words, the team leader rode to Li Yao's side, dismounted, handed over the horse to his subordinates, and then trotted to Li Yao's carriage and said, "The first battalion and one team of the Kangshan County Guard Army led Luan Yuanqing to meet the Hou Ye!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Don't be so formal, since you have changed into casual clothes, then feel free!" ”

Luan Yuanqing nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Li Yao asked, "I see you just rode around on horseback, what are you doing?" ”

Luan Yuanqing said: "We haven't stopped for a moment to rest along the way, I'm asking about the physical condition of the soldiers!" ”

Li Yao listened to Luan Yuanqing's words, and then realized that he had been marching for two hours, and indeed he had not stopped for a moment. So he hurriedly said: "Then let's stop and rest for a while, don't let the soldiers get tired!" ”

Luan Yuanqing shook his head: "Master Hou, please don't worry about our body, even if you march for two hours, you won't be tired?" ”

Li Yao looked at the soldiers walking on the side, and his spirit was indeed good, so he said: "These soldiers are indeed good, I see that the soldiers are in good spirits now, what method do you use?" Don't they know that they are tired? ”

Li Yao had also tried to walk without rest for four hours, but when he stopped to rest, his legs were about to break, and the blisters on his feet were ground into blood blisters, which was really uncomfortable, and the cloth shoes worn by these soldiers should also be very serious!

Luan Yuanqing said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't worry, our soldiers in Kangshan County are like this, and you can walk for a day in such a hurry!" ”

Li Yao said: "So can you still make it on time the next day?" We're going to be gone for five days! If you soldiers can't keep up, I won't wait for you! ”

Luan Yuanqing said lightly: "Master Hou, our soldiers in Kangshan County are all coming down from Kangshan, and there is absolutely no one to compare with their foot strength!" ”

Li Yao asked, "What's wrong with Kangshan?" Being able to walk mountain roads does not mean that you can march for a long time! ”

Luan Yuanqing said: "I will lead my team of soldiers to run around Kangshan every day, and basically rush on Kangshan from morning to evening every day!" ”

"Shhh Li Yao gasped and asked, "Running in the mountains all day?" ”

Luan Yuanqing nodded!

Li Yao directly denied: "I don't believe it, I don't believe that you can run on the mountain all day, if you run and train in the mountains every day, it will definitely cause non-combat attrition!" ”

Luan Yuanqing asked, "Master Hou, what is non-combat attrition?" ”

Non-combat attrition is generally said to be "not a case of loss of soldiers caused by injuries in war!" ”

Luan Yuanqing smiled: "Oh, that's the case, our team has changed a lot of people, and people who can't stand this kind of training can't stay in our team!" ”

"Oh, what do you mean, you guys are now running and training every day?" Li Yao asked in disbelief.

Luan Yuanqing nodded and said: "I am the leader of the team here, and I guarantee with my official position that the soldiers here are definitely the soldiers who can insist on running on Kangshan every day!" ”

Seeing Luan Yuanqing speak so formally, Li Yao asked, "Who made you train like this?" Isn't my country's standard soldier training a formation practice? ”

Luan Yuanqing scratched his head and said with a smile: "This is the method my father gave me, when he was fighting, he trained his soldiers like this, and then trained me like this!" ”

"Who is your father?" Li Yao asked.

Luan Yuanqing said: "My father is Luan Chengzhong! ”

"Luan Chengzhong?" Li Yao asked: "Since your father has fought in a war, he must have some military merits, what is he doing now?" ”

Luan Yuanqing said proudly: "My father is currently the general of the first battalion of the Kangshan City Guard!" ”

"Oh, the official position is not low! I think these soldiers are very good, it seems that your father does have a set of training soldiers, and your father has a lot of elite soldiers! Li Yao asked casually.

Luan Yuanqing shook his head and sighed: "The only one who can travel long distances is my team of soldiers, and the others can't!" My father's requirements were too high, he couldn't return to the camp on time at night, he didn't even give him food, and over time, no one wanted to come to our camp! ”

Oh, Li Yao was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, then it's not okay, how can the soldiers run the next day if they don't have the strength?" ”

Luan Yuanqing said: "If you don't have the strength to run, don't do the city guards, this is what my father said, if you can't return to the camp on time the next day, you will continue to be hungry!" Until you go to another camp when you are hungry! ”

Li Yao was shocked, so ruthless, and then asked, "Then how many people are there in your battalion now?" ”

Luan Yuanqing raised his fingers, calculated, and said, "There are more than four hundred people left!" ”

More than 400 people in one battalion? What about the others? Isn't it the standard of a thousand?

Luan Yuanqing sighed and said: "Those cowards, they can't stand the suffering, they have all changed camps, and they can't even run a step, why should they chase the enemy and kill them when the time comes, the pace is slow, but they can't grab military merits!" If you don't have military merits, how can you buy land to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby! ”

When Li Yao heard this, he felt that he liked this team a little in his heart, and Li Yao now especially wanted to pull this team and his father to his Yixian legion!

Running is definitely a good way to exercise, and it is also very important for high-intensity marching, because Li Yao's firearms unit, Li Yao must make their movement faster! In this way, you can inflict a more violent blow on the enemy, and the firearms unit is not good in close combat, so even if you run for your life, you have to run faster than others!

This is not to say that Li Yao's firearms troops are not good, but the responsibilities of each branch of the army are different, and firearms are suitable for long-range strikes, although for Li Yao's current firearms troops, what he pursues is not range, but power, but even if it is Li Yao's flying thunder canister, the range is also 200 steps, which can be regarded as a long-distance attack for this era!

Li Yao's Yixian Legion also implements running fitness, running is the first thing a soldier will do, if a soldier's physical fitness is not up to par, it is absolutely unqualified!

In fact, this can be seen from the team returning to Yi County this time, the people in the caravan are still sitting in the carriage to drive the horses, and they are tired from traveling for two hours in a row, and the hundred soldiers have walked for two hours in a row, and they are still in good spirits, Li Yao also wants to see how strong this team is, so he is not ready to rest, so he has been walking until the evening, if it is really as Luan Yuanqing said that this team can still ensure high morale tomorrow, then no matter what, he will pull their father and son to their own Yi County army, If it were possible, Li Yao would definitely pull all the soldiers from this battalion over, these soldiers are all 'treasures'!
