The Rangers are the main force of battle, excelling at surviving in the wilderness, and are responsible for reconnaissance and patrol work in the Ghost Forest north of the Great Wall. Not only did they defend the Great Wall, but they also had to go north to engage the enemy. Their enemies are not only wild people, but also mysterious alien spirits that do not belong to humans.

———— the Night Watch

As a temporary leader, what Ma Shen hopes most is to teach these Night's Watch recruits how to cooperate with each other in battle, such as forming a phalanx such as a spear formation.

But when Ma Shen asked Commander-in-Chief Mormont if there was a spear here, he reluctantly found that the standard configuration of the Night's Watch was the Great Sword, to be precise, the mainstream weapons in Westeros were all Great Sword, spears and the like would only be used in the aristocratic standardized army, and the Night Watch did not belong to either of the two.

Of course, Ma Shen also figured out later, it is not that the night watchman does not use spears, but because of the influence of other factors, when the spears are used in the array, a bunch of people are needed to cooperate, but the night watchman is originally small, and when there are few people, the spear is obviously inferior to the two-handed giant sword.

Moreover, almost all of the battles of the night watchman took place north of the Great Wall, where it was cold and snowy, and almost the entire world was filled with snow, and it was very inconvenient to move, and at this time it was obvious that the sword was more flexible and practical.

After thinking about it, Ma Shen directly gave up his previous idea, but the method of teaching them to cooperate with each other in battle has not changed, in this world of ice and fire most of the battles are fought alone, one-on-one, regardless of the situation of their companions, at this time a team that will cooperate with each other will have a great advantage.

So if you want to teach these night watch recruits to cooperate with each other in battle, you need to let them have a certain tacit understanding, so Ma Shen's task now is to cultivate their tacit understanding.

Ma Shen easily blocked Gülen's sword from the left, but did not usher in the imaginary attack, "Stop!" Ma Shen immediately shouted.

After seeing Gülen and another recruit on the other side stopping, Ma Shen asked them solemnly, "Do you see anything wrong?"

The two Night's Watch recruits shook their heads in confusion, apparently not seeing anything wrong.

"Then needless to say, just stick your ass over. Ma Shen said expressionlessly, Glenn and his companions suddenly made bitter faces, Instructor Ma Shen has a hobby recently that likes to spank people, but we are not children, how embarrassing it is to be spanked, Gülen thought with a bitter face.

"Hurry up, if you grind again, you will have to pick up your pants and hit again. Ma Shen looked at the two reluctant people in front of him and threatened.

"Bang! After carrying these two guys, Ma Shen directly smashed the buttocks of the two little rabbit cubs with the hilt of his sword, and it is still good now, just spanking, and then the punishment Ma Shen has already thought about, such as helping everyone wash their socks for a week, or cleaning the toilet to contribute to everyone.

Of course, what he thought in his heart couldn't be revealed, Ma Shen still reprimanded with a look of hatred: "I said that you should cooperate with each other, understand! Let you cooperate! As a result, his sword attacked to the right, what are you doing standing stupidly next to you, you should cooperate with your companion to attack my left with a sword, and strike left and right! understand!"

"That's his fault, why did he hit me. Gülen also realized that it was not her fault, and said with some grievances.

"Nonsense, if I don't beat you or hit anyone, I will divide you into groups of two, then the two of you are a whole, and anyone who is wrong and has not yet found out will be punished together! When the time comes, I will also disrupt the distribution of you, it is possible to work in groups of three or four, do you have any opinions!" Looking at the eyes of Ma Shenjiao's head who were about to eat people, the poor recruit shook his head tremblingly.

"Sir Synon is so fierce, you should be serious later, I don't want to be spanked. Two of the onlookers whispered.

"Of course, you also give me some attention. The warned recruit also retorted.

"Don't look at it, it's the two of you, come here. Ma Shen casually called the remaining two recruits.

The two recruits who were whispering suddenly walked up with bitter faces.

The ending was no exception, "Bang, bang!" Ma Shen finally decided to end the training after smashing the two recruits' butts a few times.

When they heard Ma Shen announce the end of the training, these recruits, including Jon, cheered, although Jon's swordsmanship was okay, but he couldn't help the drag of his pig teammates, and in Ma Shen's hands without discrimination, his butt was also beaten a lot.

"What is it called, but you must all disappear before my eyes until I count to five, or you will wash my socks for a month." Ma Shen roared angrily, wouldn't I be tired from class, if it weren't for the training of you, you can also increase the experience of swordsmanship by the way, the ghost will personally come out to play with you.

When the recruit night watchman heard Ma Shen's words, he immediately scattered in all directions as if fleeing for his life.

These guys, Ma Shen touched the sweat on his forehead, and was about to go to dinner, when suddenly a trembling voice came from the side: "Thank you for your hard work, Sir Ma Shen." “

Ma Shen turned his head and saw a bald, wrinkled, shrunken and blind old man standing beside him, followed by a night watchman officer, so he hurriedly greeted respectfully: "It's Master Aemon, it's my duty to train them." “

"Hahaha, it looks like these recruits like you, and the future of the Night's Watch depends on them, Sir Masin, your task is very heavy!" Maester Aemon teased.

"You are laughing" Ma Shen said with a little embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic, "By the way, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart, although there is such a high Great Wall in front of me, it is very safe, but if someone unites the wild people, will they climb the Great Wall directly from the castle where no one is stationed." “

In Massin's memory, during the time when Jon was captured in the future, the small army of the wildlings climbed directly over the Wall, entered the south of the Wall, and attacked the Night's Watch from the south of the wooden wall.

Of course, Ma Shen doesn't know how many people there are, he only knows that the number is not too much, and it can't be completely based on what was shown in the film and television, who has ever seen that in such a hard life, the wild man will have as fine skin and tender meat as shown in the film and television.

"Well," explained Maester Aemon to Ma Shen, "once upon a time, even if someone unified the wildlings, it was impossible for a large army of savages to climb over the Great Wall, because it was very difficult to climb the Great Wall, and only the kind of climbers could reach the top of the Great Wall, and if the Great Wall could be climbed so easily, there would be no point in Brandon the Builder building this Great Wall." “

Maester Aemon pointed to the Great Wall and continued, "And this is still the time when we have not been discovered, because we have relatively few night watchmen, so we do not patrol regularly, but randomly, and maybe even our own people may not know where to patrol next time." In case we find out, we can easily throw debris or shoot them down with bows and arrows. “

"I remember that according to the records, Brandon built the Great Wall mainly to prevent the attack of the strangers, Master Aemon, do you think the strangers really exist?" asked Ma Shen with some curiosity.

"The Alien has been gone for thousands of years, but the Alien must have existed. Maester Aemon sighed and continued, "Perhaps in a few hundred years, people will no longer believe in dragons, and will think that they are midnight stories that adults have made up to tell children." “

"If, I say, if the ghosts do come back to life, then what are we going to do, can we stop those ghosts?" Ma Shen suddenly wondered what the wise old man thought.

"Of course, Sir Ma Shen, although the Night's Watch is now becoming fewer and fewer, and it has gradually become a penal colony for those prisoners, but we have the Seven Kingdoms as a backing, once the Stranger does appear, then a large number of soldiers, knights, and nobles will gather here, and with the help of the Great Wall, the danger of the Stranger will be relieved, and the Stranger should not appear in this world in the first place. Maester Aemon affirmed.

Maybe, Ma Shen shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't explain anything, in a few years, there will be all kinds of wars on the mainland, how can there be time to come and support the Great Wall here.

"But the problem is that the nobles south of the Great Wall are now unaware of the crisis. Maester Aemon sighed and said, he was just as worried as Ma Shen, but in a different direction.

"We are now left with only a bunch of hairy boys, the old and the sick, the sick and the sick, less than a thousand in number, and we cannot afford to garrison the other castles along the Wall, nor can we patrol the wilderness, nor even have sufficient weapons and food. Maester Aemon said worriedly.

Ma Shen sighed, he had always heard that there were fewer and fewer night watchmen, but he didn't expect it to be more serious than he imagined, and there were only so many people stationed on such a large Great Wall.

"We need support, we need to let the fallen nobles know that a crisis is coming, and we need to unite all the forces we can to get through this long winter, Sir Martin. Looking at Maester Amon's old cheeks, Ma Shen suddenly felt that even if he knew that Maester Aemon was not a prophet, he still felt that this respectable and wise old man seemed to know what would happen in the future.

Maester Aemon said, suddenly shaking his head, and said apologetically to Ma Shen, "It's all the old man, I'm too nagging, go to dinner, Sir Ma Shen." “

"Yes, Master Aemon," Ma Shen said with a respectful salute to Master Aemon.

Maester Aemon nodded, turned and slowly walked away with the help of the clerk.
