Chapter 34: The New People's Army (Part II)
Camp East of Winterfell, at night.
After three days of travel, the New Folk Legion finally arrived in Winterfell in the middle of the North.
The former capital of the North has faded from its former glory, and the castle has been repeatedly harassed by the Iron Min, the Bolton family, and the Tastark family, and it is already looking a little dilapidated.
The old city walls were guarded only by patrol teams sent by the Gripen Legion, and the castle was sparsely smoked and prosperous, and the interior of the castle was only maintained by the wise and benevolent and respected Winterfell scholar Ruwen.
"Give me a hurry, those guys from the fifth team of the third battalion, don't grind, how can the men outside the plug be as weak as the girls in the south, and those who can still breathe will continue to run for Lao Tzu, whose team has one person left behind, then tomorrow will be punished for running ten laps, don't you covet the armor on my body......?
Don't be convinced, tomorrow there will be 200 local recruits from the north in the five camps, and I don't want the signboard of the New People's Legion, because your laziness has been changed to the Local Legion by those people. ”
On the training ground, Tormund roared loudly, and lowered the freedfolk newcomers who had put on the cold soldier uniforms sent from White Harbor, gasping for breath and staggering to continue to grit their teeth and run, this was already their twenty laps of tonight's training lap mission.
Even if the new people, who have rough skin and thick flesh and are hard-working, are tossed for a while, they feel that they can't support it.
Tormond's recruit training plan was approved by William, and he was required to teach the five new soldiers in five battle camps in Winterfell the necessary combat rules for the army in five days.
The first of these is perseverance and unity.
"Commander, with the current training intensity, even if it is pulled to the maximum, I am afraid that we will not be able to complete the training in the required time. After Tomund finished speaking, he looked at the training ground with some sorrow, although he could not see that his fellow freeman recruits had worked hard enough, but in the second half of the lap, the training ground was still sparsely packed, and the front was running fast, and there was a large part of the lag.
The free folk generally have good physical strength, but there is also a big gap in their physique, the burly and excellent endurance of the twenty laps of breath are still stable, and the physical almost ones are like dead dogs, and can only be carried forward by their teammates while being abused.
Even, some squads have abandoned the team.
"Yes, then you don't need to train them how to fight, just let them learn to follow orders. ”
William held the whip in his hand and looked up at the training ground, under the dappled moonlight, the soldiers' training had come to an end, and the soldiers who had a good physique had completed their training tasks and began to gather together to make fun of the slow squad.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Teammates on the battlefield are brothers, and brothers can have strengths and weaknesses but not dislike.
William squinted his eyes and looked at a particularly burly man on the training ground with disgust, this person is a member of the glacier tribe, the colder the weather, the more obvious his endurance advantage is, at this time, he has completed the training task, and is loudly snorting disdainfully at the team behind the training ground, and even laughing and scolding with disdain, "Hey, isn't that Quetta of the Valley Tribe?" It's actually a wreck, your physical strength is sucked dry by a tribal woman, or your mother gave birth to you when she didn't bud, hurry up, even the people of the Haichuan tribe have surpassed you. If you can't run, you're going to be forced to be a guy who is more wasteful than you, hahaha, run until you die. ”
"Who's that loud voice?" asked William, frowning.
"The Glacier Tribe, the Oligoaxe. ”
"There is no tribe in the Xinmin Legion, I am asking you which squad he is. ”
"Oh, it's the Commander, he's the oligarch of the second squad of the fourth battalion. ”
William sighed, "Look at any of them if anyone is left behind." ”
Tormond took a closer look and shook his head, "His squad is in good shape, and it seems that they have all completed their training tasks. ”
William frowned, thought for a moment and said to a guard next to him, "Go and drag that guy over." ”
The widow axe was pressed by the two guards holding the sword, kneeling in front of William, with a blank face, until William's horsewhip snapped loudly and fell on the open ground in front of him, frightening his crotch and stick, and his neck shrunk, then he asked tremblingly, "Commander, I have completed the task, do I have to be punished too?"
"No," William held his horsewhip and looked mockingly at the pitted face of the oligarch, although this person looked a little old, but in fact he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, which was the youngest and most competitive years, William glanced at him, and then raised his eyes to look around the training ground and said loudly, " Yes, you've done it, I congratulate you, I've done a great job with you and your team, but I'm not satisfied with your taunts to my comrades just now, and now I order you to help every teammate who hasn't finished the training, finish tonight's training, remember it's everyone, whether you're carrying it or resisting, as long as there is one person on the training ground who doesn't finish it, you will be punished with them at the Tormond instructor. ”
This burly man, who had obviously not been in the army for a long time, opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but when he saw the serious expression of the commander William, he just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and joined the team again in embarrassment.
Hahaha!
The unwarranted disaster of the oligarch made the training ground suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Many recruits who were still disliked by him just now suddenly lowered their originally not fast running circle speed, and made up their minds that even if they were punished by military law, they would drag this big mouth into the execution room together.
"Okay, don't laugh, cheer me up, I'll put it here today, before the recruits who join the army tomorrow are integrated into the legion, which of your five combat battalions has more than two squads and does not complete the training task on time, then the commander of their battalion will be a local citizen. William noticed the change on the training ground and immediately burst into tears.
Tormond on the side also almost roared, "Damn, the captain is eligible to run for captain, and the captain is eligible to be promoted to battalion commander, if the first battalion commander to be promoted by the Xinmin Legion is taken away by a northerner, the fathers and elders of the new land will look down on us!"
Tormond, a savage, knew the hearts of these recruits better than any other, and his words inspired the recruits more than the majestic admonition of the commander William, and the recruits did not dare to slack off when they heard this, and even if they ran and gasped for air, they all ran forward with a roar.
The soldiers' enthusiasm for training was stimulated, and William glanced at Tormund with satisfaction, "Instructor Tormond, you did a good job, I now understand why Lord Lords want to form a combat legion with Xinmin as the main body, because I now believe that as long as the brave and rude Xinmin is properly trained, it will not be much worse than the Gripen Legion." ”
Tormond patted his chest heavily, "Lord Lynn is the king of the north in the hearts of the freedmen, and the new people are willing to serve him." ”
