Under Li Zhuke's training and training, after 20 days, there were more than 200 remaining more than 360 recruits, all of whom already possessed the words, deeds, and military qualities that a soldier should have, and they had been greatly improved in terms of ranks, internal affairs, and marching and fighting.

After the morning exercise, Li Zhuke gathered all the recruits on the school grounds.

In the wide school field, only a few people are exercising in the morning, listening to the introduction of veterans, because it is winter, the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness army and various tribes will go to Bingzhou to grab grain, cattle and sheep, and now most of the troops have been sent out and stationed in various fortresses.

Today, Li Zhuke's purpose in gathering the recruits is to start the assessment in advance: "Originally, your assessment still has ten days, but last night Gupanshan came to the news that this year, the Northern Wilderness Empire's troops at the junction of Bingzhou and Youzhou have increased a lot compared with last year, and there have been no less than ten battles before and after, just in case, you need to increase your troops to support!"

Ling Yi didn't expect that their recruit training had not yet ended, and they were about to go to the battlefield, but they didn't feel anything, and the others were still a little nervous!

"You don't have to worry, you are just traveling with three thousand veterans, when you get there, you will be assigned tasks by the Yue Cavalry Captain of Gupan Mountain, as long as you complete the tasks as required, you can come back, and I will assign you according to the assessment situation at that time! Remember, don't embarrass me!"

"Yes!" all the recruits cheered up!

Looking at the following recruits who were transformed from nervous to heroic, Li Zhuke nodded secretly, through his training during this time, these recruits have reached the qualified standard, and now they are about to baptize the battlefield, as long as they go to the battlefield, they are real soldiers!

"Wu Lingyi, Sun Ze, Hao Jun, Wu Hai, and Zhao Erhu are out of the ranks!"

"Yes!" the five of them shouted, took a step forward, and waited for Li Zhuke's order!

"From now until the end of the assessment, Wu Lingyi will be the captain of your two hundred and twenty people, and Sun Ze and a few of you will help him manage the team!"

"Yes!" the five men commanded again.

After that, it was time to change the equipment, and the recruits finally put on the standard equipment of the Bingzhou Army, all of them were dressed in light armor and an iron simple sword, three of the squads were equipped with shields, and the others were halberds.

Light armor facilitates movement, the Pak sword is used for hand-to-hand combat, the shield is used for perimeter defense, and the halberd is used for attack. Why don't you use a spear? Mainly because there are many cavalry in the Northern Wilderness, using a halberd can not only attack the enemy, but also hook the leg of the mount, so the state army uses the halberd to equip the infantry!

After finishing the rectification at noon, Ling Yi led the team to lead more than 200 people to the assembly point.

When they came to the assembly point outside the barracks, they were already standing full of sergeants at this time, and Ling Yi's arrival did not attract too much attention, and the strict military discipline could be seen.

Ling Yi met with the two captains who led the team under the leadership of Li Zhuke, and then the army began to set off, and Ling Yi and their team were at the rear.

There was no unexpected situation along the way, the original two captains who led the team, in order to take care of the recruits, did not march with all their strength, but when they looked at the state of the recruits, they knew that Li Zhuke was well-trained, so they no longer cared about the recruits not being able to keep up with the speed, and marched towards Gupan Mountain with all their might.

It took three days for the troops to finally arrive at Gupan Mountain, and according to the original order, a Yue cavalry captain led Ling Yi's team out of the Gupanshan military camp.

This captain is a five-rank great martial artist, named Shan Qianqun, don't look at him thin, but he is full of murderous aura, needless to say, he is an officer who has experienced a lot of battlefield killings.

As he walked, he said to Ling Yi and the others: "We are going to a place called Old Turtle Slope, my army is usually stationed there, because there is Old Turtle Slope, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it will also encounter the raid of the Northern Wilderness Rangers, but it is quite safe!"

"Minister Shan, what is our main task this time?" Ling Yi asked.

Ling Yi called Shan Qianqun a minister, which was based on his military position.

The Dongsheng army was divided into seven ranks, ten people for one fire, five fires for one team, fifty people, two teams for one tun, one hundred people, five tun for one song, five hundred people, two songs for one part, one thousand, five divisions for one battalion, five thousand people, two battalions for one army, 10,000 people. In other words, a single thousand people are in charge of at least a thousand troops!

Hearing Ling Yi's inquiry, Shan Qianqun replied: "You only need to conduct a defense for our battle, even if you pass the assessment, I will give Li Zhuke advice based on your performance at that time!"

Ling Yi heard that it was quite simple, at least it was not for them to fight alone, there were veterans who had been in a hundred battles fighting in the front, and Ling Yi and them were in the rear to assist in defense, it should be very easy.

Coming to the station, here as Shan Qianqun said, the military camp is located on the half-slope ridge of the old turtle slope, just enough to look around the grassland, as long as they find that the cavalry is coming, they can make a deployment very early.

In front of the barracks, the city defense wall built many years ago, although it is not long or high, just cut off the path of the Northern Wilderness attack.

This area belongs to the scope of Gupan Mountain, except for the old turtle slope can be passed, other places in the Northern Wilderness cavalry are very passable, so there is a trend of a husband here!

After settling the recruits, Shan Qianqun commanded to Ling Yi: "You guys have a good rest tonight, starting tomorrow morning, you will divide the team into two teams, and then separate to participate in our patrol and reserve team!"

"Yes!" Ling Yi took the order, and then asked, "Minister Shan, what is our duty?"

Shan Qianqun replied: "Half of our soldiers patrol every day, and the other half are on duty, and there is nothing to do with being on duty, just resting in the barracks, and as long as the horn of the enemy attack sounds, we must enter a state of readiness."

The patrol team has to work hard, it has to be divided into three teams, one team is stationed at the city defense, one team patrols the border line during the day, and one team patrols at night, and everyone is replaced by each other!"

"Understood, I'll assign people in a moment and report them to you!"

"Okay, let's have a good rest tonight, by the way, it's cold in the mountains, you can make a fire to keep warm, but you can't drink!"

"Yes!"

Ling Yi got the order and began to distribute personnel, one team was led by Ling Yi and Ah Hai, and the other team was led by Sun Ze and Hao Jun.

After dinner, everyone rested for a while, checked the terrain for a while, and began to rest!

However, in the middle of the night, Ling Yi vaguely heard the sound of shouting and drinking in the barracks, and thought to himself: "Didn't Shan Qianqun say that drinking is forbidden in the barracks?

didn't figure it out, and it was not good to ask Shan Qianqun, Ling Yi didn't think about it anymore and went straight to sleep.

This night, he was released without any circumstances, and he slept peacefully.

The next day, according to the normal training time, Ling Yi gathered the recruits and began to practice.

As Lingyi's team practiced, the veterans stopped doing it and scolded angrily at the school: "Recruits, don't let people sleep, tonight is going to be a vigil!"

At this time, Shan Qianqun also came to the school and said to Ling Yi: "You don't have to get up early every day to practice here, everyone is usually very hard, rest more, and ensure physical strength!"

"Yes!" Ling Yi ordered to prepare to dismiss the recruits.

At this time, Shan Qianqun said again: "Since you have already gotten up, let's go to the kitchen to help, the soldiers who changed guards today will have dinner and set off, and the patrols who have come back from changing guards will also have a hot bite before going to rest, you guys will work hard first!"

"Yes!" the recruit was ordered to go to the kitchen to help!

"I will order it later, the recruits and veterans who participated in the patrol today will eat breakfast together, and the rest of the guards will eat breakfast when the patrol veterans come back and are full!" Ling Yi said with Sun Ze.

"Understood!" the group agreed, and began to order.

After breakfast, the sky was already white, and Ling Yi led the recruits who patrolled today to follow behind the veterans and walked towards the city defense wall.

When they came to the city defense wall, the veterans did not need to command at all, they went to their posts, and those who should go to the city defense wall went up directly, and the patrol had already begun to check the equipment of the people, and the soldiers who arranged to patrol at night were not idle and practiced.

According to the previous arrangement, this morning it was Ah Hai who led thirty people to follow the patrol, Ling Yi was patrolling at night, and arranged the personnel, Ling Yi ordered the people who patrolled at night to follow the veterans and drilled on the city wall by themselves!

The location of the city defense wall is really excellent, not only plays a defensive role, but also can observe the situation on the grassland in the Northern Wilderness very well, as long as there is cavalry, it must be the first time to see here!

On the left and right sides are rare stone mountains in Bingzhou, which is not conducive to the march of cavalry, but it stretches for dozens of miles, and it is not excluded that there will be cavalry from other places to touch the mountain, so it is still necessary to send people to patrol every day!

After observing for a while and having a general understanding of the surrounding terrain and situation, Ling Yi went down the city defense wall.

During the day, it was easy, and there was nothing wrong. After the Lingyi exercise, I chatted with the veterans and learned a lot about the situation.

"Big brother, are you all so patrol every day?" asked Ling Yi.

The veteran smiled: "Of course I can't stand doing this all year round, it's just a little hard in winter, although there will be cavalry attacks in spring and autumn, but not as frequent as winter, except in winter, we don't need so many people to patrol, and it is generally only once in five days!"

After listening to this, Ling Yi understood that it seems that except for the winter when there is a shortage of food in the Northern Wilderness, there will be cavalry attacks, otherwise the border should be safe!

At dusk, Ah Hai and they returned from patrolling, and set off to patrol with Ling Yi, and now at the end of the month, there is no moon illumination, and the patrol members can only use torches.

Each person had a torch, and when it was still dawn, the team set off.

Heading west first, a small road, which should be stepped on by the patrol team, is narrow, but it is not difficult to walk.

Twenty miles on the western front, under the introduction of the veteran, there are three places to pay attention to, one is a valley, where the terrain is slightly flat, they have to go down to check the traps usually laid to see if there are any traces of cavalry.

The other two are relatively long ridges, and the traps should also be checked, and here they should also be checked for some easily damaged signs, as long as the signs are not moving, then it means that there are no large-scale people passing!

In order to save time, they moved from west to east, they went down to the grassland of the Northern Wilderness, extinguished the torches, and then marched quickly through the entire grassland to the easternmost point, of course, passing through the city defense wall defense area, they would use the fire to transmit a signal in advance, and before leaving this area, they would also pass another signal, which could let the guards on the city defense wall know that they had passed through the grassland safely.

Today's entry signal is three torches for three breaths, four torches for three breaths, and leaving for one torch six.

Such signals change every day, and in case of danger, there are corresponding signals!
