Second, still when the sun had not yet risen, Zhao Fan woke up everyone and jogged five laps around the barracks with stones on his back.

This time, it was obviously better than the first time, and the hearts of the soldiers gradually began to accept the training arranged by Zhao Fan.

"Chief Zhao!" At this time, Jiang Lushuai suddenly came to the camp of the Nine Pawns, he saw Zhao Fan at a glance, and then said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Fan was practicing with the soldiers, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly walked out and said, "The brigade commander is here, but what's the matter?" ”

"Well, after Li Feng County Shou and Wang County Lieutenant and several adults discussed, it has been decided, after five days, three thousand troops will be mobilized from various cities in Yunzhong County to conquer Lushan, and our second brigade will be among the expeditionary troops."

Jiang Lushuai smiled bitterly, he knew that the Second Brigade went out this time to stain Zhao Fan's "light".

"Uh......" Zhao Fan also smiled awkwardly, he naturally knew that the reason why the Second Brigade was transferred to attack Lushan had a lot to do with him.

"Hehe, I'm kidding you, it's actually nothing, the bandits in Lushan are just a rabble of bandits who have gathered some refugees, and it is not difficult for us to destroy their lair." Jiang Lvshuai said with a smile.

"By the way, Li Feng County Guard learned that you are going to train soldiers in the past few days to prepare for the conquest of Lushan, and specially canceled the task of patrolling and defending the city of your nine soldiers in the past few days, you can train the soldiers well in the past few days, you nine soldiers are all new soldiers, even I am a little worried."

Hearing this, Zhao Fan was naturally a little surprised, but then his face showed a touch of joy, although he is only training now, he inevitably has a bit of a taste of grinding guns, but it is better than not doing anything well, with the training of the past few days, I believe that the overall strength of the nine pawns will at least go to a higher level.

After he finished talking to Jiang Lushuai, he hurried out of the barracks and went to the market in the city, and he didn't know what to do.

When the soldiers of the Nine Pawns had finished their lunch after training, Zhao Fan came to the camp with a few men who looked like people, and they were carrying a bag of white powder-like things, as well as more than a hundred wooden long knives and long swords, and some arrows without arrowheads.

"Each of you has brought these things with you, and now follow me out of the city and set off for Yishan." Zhao Fan gave an order, although the soldiers had doubts, but they didn't dare to ask more, in addition to carrying their own weapons, everyone also carried a wooden knife or wooden sword in their hands, and carried an arrow shaft on their shoulders, and followed Zhao Fan towards the outside of the city.

They did not ride horses, but ran in the direction of Yishan on foot, Zhao Fan took the lead in the front, and the little golden eagle from yesterday stood on his shoulders with great vigour.

Cloud City is not far from Yishan, and it took Zhao Fan and the others less than half an hour to come to the foot of Yishan Mountain.

"I believe you don't know yet, in five days, we Cloud City will send 3,000 soldiers to attack the south of Jiuyuan City, the thousands of bandits on Lushan, our nine pawns, are among these 3,000 people."

Zhao Fan glanced coldly at the soldiers opposite, and then said in a low voice.

As soon as Zhao Fan's words landed, some soldiers suddenly looked surprised, and there was a faint fear, of course, these soldiers were all sixteen or seventeen-year-old young soldiers. They have never participated in the war, and there will be some emotions that are more or less difficult to accept about this.

"The moment you join the barracks, you have to be ready for battle, I don't need to say that, everyone knows that. This war is inevitable, and I hope that you can try to get used to jungle warfare and gain some experience in the past few days, which is why I brought you here. Zhao Fan continued.

Speaking of this, Zhao Fan was also silent, he looked at these soldiers and gave them some time to accept the sudden news.

"Captain, I don't know how we train, what are these wooden knives and swords?" Not long after, Li Mu, who was standing in the line, suddenly asked.

This news, he heard Zhao Fan say it yesterday, and he was naturally not so surprised in his heart, but he didn't know what the use of these props brought by Zhao Fan was, what kind of lethality would a wooden weapon like a wooden knife and a wooden sword have?

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of those recruits have also become much calmer, as Zhao Fan said, in this troubled era, fighting is the duty of every soldier, and even entering the barracks, naturally there is no way to choose again, and now, there is only a choice to accept.

"Well, these wooden knives and swords are for the actual combat drills that will be used later, and now with me, there are a total of 100 people, and I will divide these 100 people into two hostile groups, each group of fifty people, and use wooden knives and wooden swords and arrows with the tip of the arrow to remove the tip of the arrow to conduct actual combat drills in this mountain forest."

Zhao Fan explained: "Although this is just a drill, I hope everyone can treat it as a real battle, because only in this way will you not have any actual combat experience when you conquer Lushan in five days." ”

After explaining, everyone also began to fight under Zhao Fan's arrangement, and the bag of white powder was quicklime, which was used to smear the arrow shaft, so as to judge whether it was an arrow or not.

The first time I encountered this kind of drill, even Zhang Zhi and the others felt quite interesting. Those recruits seemed to be possessed by the gods, and they were extremely brave and abnormal, and they rushed to the position of the "enemy army" without their lives, while those veterans were very happy.

Zhao Fan was on the high ground in the distance, and saw the "battle situation" clearly, and after a long time, his face was slightly disappointed.

A drill is a drill, and there is no comparison with a real battle, those recruits know in their hearts that there will be no danger, and naturally they attack one by one, if it is on the real battlefield, who dares to rush like this?

Moreover, human potential is only exploded in desperate situations, and constantly hovering between life and death, and this kind of battle, which is like a child's game, is really scornful.

Zhao Fan realized at this moment that it was too easy for him to think about training.

"Brother-in-law, but you're worried about training soldiers?" At this time, Li Mu walked up at some point, he glanced at Zhao Fan, and then looked at the soldiers who were fighting "desperately" below, and smiled slightly.

Zhao Fan turned his head and saw that it was Li Mu, so he also nodded, and said: "A war drill like this that is not life-threatening is just a pediatrics in the final analysis, how can a soldier who has not seen blood and fire be considered a qualified soldier?" Alas, I thought it was too simple before, thinking that in this way I could train an iron army. ”

Zhao Fan laughed self-deprecatingly, he also felt that his confidence had faded a lot when he encountered a setback for the first time.

"I feel that this kind of exercise, although it can't make them become as fierce and decisive as veterans who have been in a hundred battles, it is not ineffective at all, at least they will be familiar with the jungle and have experience in jungle warfare." Li Mu turned his head and looked at Zhao Fandao.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also nodded, the former said that it was indeed good, the terrain of the jungle is complex, and it does take some experience to fight in this kind of place. However, he hopes that his group of soldiers can experience the baptism of life and death, the battle of blood and fire.

The soldiers under the mountain continued to fight "desperately", those recruits, completely regarded this drill as a game, and their bodies were all white spots shot by bows and arrows, if they were really on the battlefield, they would have already died and could not die anymore, but they didn't care, and continued to charge excitedly one by one.

Zhao Fan looked at all this indifferently, the only thing that could be comforting was that at least, these recruits were becoming more and more flexible in this bush-ridden jungle full of branches, although they did not reach the level of walking on the ground, but compared to the initial kind of difficult to move an inch, it was much better.

As it approached the afternoon, the enthusiasm of these soldiers also cooled down a lot, and after one or two hours of drills, they were also tired, and immediately sat under the trees one by one to enjoy the cold.

Zhao Fan and Li Mu also walked down the mountain at this moment, the former glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "I hope you can face up to this drill, because only in this way, can you have a greater chance of surviving in the expedition to Lushan in five days." ”

After speaking, he tied dozens of sheepskin bags on the ground with ropes and said to everyone: "You rest in place first, and I will go to Baiqushui to fill water." ”

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly stood up, "Chief, let's go, you can rest here for a while." ”

"No, I'll go and relax, you guys wait here." Zhao Fan waved his hand, carried the water bag, and walked down the hill with the small eagle on his shoulder.
