After a few days of calculations, the "Source of Life" was able to produce about fifty milliliters of "Water of Life" every day, doubling Ke Mingde's cultivation speed.

Every morning, after getting up, he first went to the city to eat a meal of big fish and meat, spent an hour back and forth, practiced swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery in the morning, ate at the barracks at noon, read books stored in the printer for a while, and rested his body, and after an hour took the "water of life" to practice guiding.

Since it can only be lit by oil lamps after dark, the light is dim and the cost is high, every second of the day is precious, continue to "read" after dinner, and practice meditation before going to bed.

After keeping up with his energy intake, Ke Mingde made rapid progress, he still had stomach problems when he was on Earth, and now he has recovered without medicine, his height and weight have also increased, and the two clothes made in Sweet Water do not fit well.

At the five-day drill again, Komünd rode a brown stallion against another cavalryman, dressed in leather armor and armed with a wooden spear wrapped in a white cloth.

Ke Mingde grabbed the horse's belly, the brown horse scattered, Ke Mingde grabbed the reins with his left hand, held the gun in his right hand, and charged against the cavalry, the horse was not frightened or avoided, the horse's head was staggered, Ke Mingde's waist was twisted, dodged the cavalry spear, and the spear in his right hand poked out, but unfortunately it was dodged by the cavalry;

Hold the reins, the speed drops, turn your head, and another wave of charge.

......

"Newton, you've only been practicing for a long time, and you've already caught up with me!" said the horseman, handing the horse to the groom.

"There's still a lot to learn, and I've heard that some veterans can control their horses with their weapons in both hands and their legs when charging, and I'm still far from it. ”

In fact, Ke Mingde has already outperformed this cavalryman, but they are all colleagues, and some methods are not easy to use, and when he is knocked off the horse, he will not only have a bad face, but also be easily injured, and if he is as shrewd as he is, he will naturally not do such a thing.

"Knock! knock!"

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a drum beat and hurried to the school grounds.

When the procession was over, an officer dismounted from his white horse, dressed in a silk robe, with a handsome countenance, neatly combed blonde hair, and a meticulously groomed short beard.

"Report to the battalion commander, all fifty-six people in the first banner have been assembled!"

"Report to the battalion commander, all fifty-two people of the Second Banner have been assembled!"

The two flag commanders reported in turn, directly stating the number of respondents, without mentioning that a few veterans had not come to the training.

The youth battalion commander also did not verify the number of people, and said:

"The regiment commander just ordered someone to exterminate a bandit, I took this task down, you guys are ready, set off early tomorrow morning. ”

After that, he asked the deputy battalion commander Pippen to send down the armor, arranged some things, mounted a horse, and left the barracks with two escorts.

"This is the battalion commander, this is the first time I've seen him!" Pluto whispered.

"Don't worry about these idleness, you haven't practiced well in the past few days, I don't know if your swordsmanship has regressed, get ready, there will be a war tomorrow!" Ke Mingde said.

"Hehe, I'm just going to taste something new, and I'm not going to go to that kind of place again," Pluto said to himself.

Ignoring him, Ke Mingde approached the veteran Wilson and asked him about the situation.

"This is a good thing!" Wilson said happily, "Our battalion commander and the regiment commander once studied together in the imperial capital, and the relationship is good, let me tell you, this kind of fat is not rare, and other battalions can't go if they want to!"

"After the bandits are exterminated, let's pick the loot first, and if you're lucky, you can get a battle feat, and you can get more money......"

"Don't worry, if they're good, they're not bandits......"

Plantagenet's soldiers have military ranks and military merits, such as Wilson, the military rank is cavalry, and there are ten silver coins per month, and military merit is first-class, and the merit salary is two silver coins per month, for a total of twelve silver coins per month, and Ke Mingde only has military ranks and no military merits, and only ten silver coins per month.

Ordinary soldiers can only serve in the army for three years, and if they fail to be promoted to knight, they will be dismissed, and they will not be able to enjoy merit.

"I've fought such a gang of thieves a few times, and they all surrendered after shooting a few arrows, and when I met a powerful one, I didn't dare to resist if I killed two people, and it was a free welfare...... Wilson boasted while telling Ke Mingde about his experience, and he still admired this talented and hard-working recruit.

There were only more than 40 horses in the cavalry battalion, and Ke Mingde first entered the barracks, although he belonged to the cavalry, he could not distribute horses, and could only do the work of the infantry.

Early the next morning, the horses were fed, they were well equipped, and they left the barracks under the leadership of the battalion commander.

The battalion commander's full name is Duke Coulson Panama, a minor nobleman from York City, and he sat in this position by virtue of his relationship with the commander of the Venason Command, eating and drinking all day long, without any progress, half of the empty salary of the cavalry battalion went into his pocket, and dozens of war horses were also sold by him, but there was no deduction in the treatment of soldiers, and he could get a few beautiful things from the regiment commander, so everyone was convinced of him.

After a full day's march, sixty or seventy kilometers, he set up camp outside a forest.

It is said to be a camp, but in fact it is extremely simple, there is only one tent, which is brought by the battalion commander himself, a circle of eight or two carriages surrounds it, the rest of the people bury the pot to cook, and the deputy battalion commander Pippen asked someone to sprinkle a kind of insect repellent powder around.

"Battalion commander, after crossing this forest, Dudur has led it, where are those thieves?" William asked the battalion commander.

"It's in the middle of the woods. "You see, the nearest trade route from Dudur to Venassen passes through this forest, where several caravans have recently been plundered, and the thieves are in the forest. ”

"The forest is so big, where are we going to find them?"

"You don't have to look for them, they'll come to us!"

"You mean ......"

"Yes, I specially transferred a few freight wagons from home, and we disguised them as caravans to lure them to show up!"

"The battalion commander is really resourceful!"

Everyone praised each other, and for a while, there was no end to sycophants.

Ke Mingde and Pluto sat on the side to enjoy the coolness, it was the height of summer, and they had been on the road for another day, and they were all drenched in sweat, but the people of the entire battalion had cultivated to the knight level, and they were still energetic and maintained their combat effectiveness.

"You two, go to the river and fetch some buckets of water!" commanded the flag commander.

The next day, after breakfast, on the orders of the battalion commander, all put on armor and prepared for battle.

The helmet is made of cowhide tanning, multiple layers of cowhide are overlapped together, nearly one centimeter thick, the bow and arrow fifty meters away cannot be pierced, and there is a single layer of leather around the neck to protect the neck, except for the helmet is leather, the rest of the armor is cloth, layers of linen are stacked together, there are more than 20 layers, thick and hard, wearing on the body without any ventilation, sweat flow.

The leather armor worn by the two deputy battalion commanders, inlaid with iron plates, was lighter than cloth armor and had stronger defensive power. The battalion commander also wore leather armor, but there was more combat skirt to protect the lower limbs, and the style was more beautiful.

The cavalry mounted on their horses, and the soldiers without horses got into the wagons, one carriage could carry six soldiers, eight carriages carried forty-eight people, and the rest were disguised as merchants and grooms.
