General Minggo took a deep breath, calmed down some of his ups and downs, and continued to analyze: "Our officers, I'm talking about officers at all levels, like me, lack the ability to deal with encounters, ambushes, breakouts, The experience of pursuit warfare and other tactics, our previous training was only aimed at positional warfare with open swords and guns, so we didn't know how to cooperate horizontally, we forgot to send information, we couldn't find our own soldiers, we couldn't effectively deploy defensive formations, and we didn't even know how to face the fear in our hearts.

Speaking of this, General Minggo stopped, looked at the silent and dejected officers at all levels, the dissatisfaction in his eyes flashed, and then raised his voice slightly, and continued: "Our officers are inexperienced, but in addition to our soldiers, they also lack the courage to face the enemy and sacrifice their lives to defend the country!" I saw some soldiers hiding in their tents, some sitting on the ground wailing and crying bitterly, some so frightened that they couldn't even fasten their uniforms, and those panicked soldiers gathered on the exit passage, blocking our cavalry from the Chinese army, panicking, and the huge barracks became a vegetable market. In the whole army, only the ordnance maintenance team, which we despise most in peacetime, can organize a decent resistance. Due to the disorder and confusion, our limited strength was also greatly reduced, and less than a brigade was able to raise its spears and go behind the horses to resist the enemy. Oh, yes, Ba Chain!" Mingo shouted, pointing to the officer sitting on his left.

The bearded officer immediately raised his head, stood up and bowed. "General!"

Mingo waved him to sit down, then asked, "Are you in the northwest position?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, General. ”

"Okay! There is a squadron under your command, gathering more than 200 people, and it has dealt with it very decently on the way through which those cavalry raids must pass, who is that squadron leader?"

Balian looked back behind him, his gaze stayed on the burly middle-aged officer with dark cheeks, and got up and replied: "Your Excellency, General, this is the Twelfth Squadron led by Major Herman, Major Herman once served in the Northern Legion and has experience in fighting orcs. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

Herman Huo Ran stood up and said loudly: "Herman of the 12th Squadron of the 1st New Division of the Northeast Theater Salutes His Excellency the General!"

General Mingo looked at the iron-like officer with joy in his heart, smiled and said, "Sit down!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Herman replied, sitting down.

"Haha! Captain Aragon is right, veterans are treasures! Major Herman, I will give you a task, and after camping and having dinner every day, you will tell a story to all the officers above the colonel level. The content will talk about what you saw and heard during your service in the Northern Legion, the racial characteristics, appearance, main abilities, combat methods, preferences, the weather, customs, and local environment in the north, anything, so that we recruits have a long insight and an understanding of the enemy, fear comes from the unknowable, and if you understand, you will not be afraid. ”

When Herman heard that he was asked to tell the story, he stood up again like a thorn in his buttocks, and nearly scraped his chair over.

"Your Excellency, Herman has nothing to say in the war, but he is afraid to speak, so how can he tell a story?

Mingo couldn't help but laugh at Herman's clumsiness.

"If you want you to speak, you can speak, just pick the key points and explain it, and it is not for you to be a wandering poet, you don't need to paint and paint. Go back and prepare, and if you don't talk well, I'll beat you with a whip. ”

"Ahh

Minggo withdrew his gaze from Herman and said meaningfully: "Fortunately, this is just an exercise, this exercise has allowed us to discover our weaknesses and shortcomings, and we must immediately come up with ways to deal with these shortcomings, and strive to make the 'little steel hat' a real army before the real war comes." It's already midnight and I'm issuing several orders. First, the General Staff should work out the skirmishes before the sun sets the day after tomorrow. After the end of each day's march, all the officers will collectively study and inspect and convey to the soldiers that before entering Samana, every soldier must know it by heart; second, each brigade will rectify its own military discipline, teach down the methods of dealing with the enemy after receiving the enemy, and explain the meaning of war and the responsibilities of the soldiers; in short, I don't care what method you use, the next time your men are so frightened that they can't find their weapons, and if they sit on the ground and cry like a woman, I will demote them; third, the cavalry will be transferred from the five brigades and a separate cavalry brigade will be set up, and the captain of the brigade will be determined......”

Minggo paused slightly, his eyes first looked at Liang Ke, and when he saw that Liang Ke looked down at him, he immediately turned to Herman.

“...... Major Herman served. The handover will begin tomorrow morning, and tomorrow at noon I will parade the troops, after which we will march again; fourth, from now on, the whole army will ban alcohol until we win the war; fifth, during the march, we will only accept supplies from the local county towns and will not participate in any form of banquets; sixth, the pro-guard battalion and the leader and supervision team will be engaged in the military law of not stopping the order and passively slacking off the battle!" Although General Mingo tried his best to control his emotions, the last few words were almost shouted out.

The next morning, the various brigades handed over the military power of the cavalry squadron, and although the captains were uncomfortable, they were also aware of the important role of concentrating the cavalry, and in their hands, they could only be used as scouts. After a brief review of the new cavalry brigade, General Mingo embarked on the journey north again with a new look. Before leaving, Colonel Sylvester and Jeff County Guard, who were responsible for playing the "enemy", came to see off, Herman asked Sylvester about the unique tactics of many cavalrymen, and benefited a lot, Jeff expressed his condolences to the little steel hat for this false alarm, he didn't know that yesterday's scene was a deliberate exercise arranged by General Mingo, and then he just heard Sylvester say that it was a regular transfer under order, but the battle fang blew up the group, which almost made an oolong.

The march of the "Little Steel Hat" was like a race against time, and the weather should have gotten colder the further north they went, but with the quiet arrival of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, so they did not feel a significant change in temperature every day. Liang Ke saw the extraordinaryness of the Gallant Empire this time, and they walked for twenty days without stopping, and only then did they get out of the last inhabited area to the north, "Samana", and in the next few days, they would cross the great plain of Biasso and finally arrive at "Cape Rambet".

The road under Liang Ke's feet was no longer a road, and the grass, gravel, and snow were mixed together, and two ruts stretching into the distance could be faintly seen, which seemed to tell people the history of the trade between Garrant and the Orc Empire a long time ago. Samana sent two guides to General Mingo, who were grandfathers and grandsons. The old one's name was Rory, and he was a hunter, in his fifties, with a sturdy body, and his face was as ruddy as iron because he had been hunting foxes in the meadow all year round, and the younger one, Noll, who was sixteen years old this year, was the youngest grandson of old Rory. Despite his age, he is a burly man with athletic skills, and is said to be a famous hunter in Samana, and yesterday he performed the stunt of catching wildebeest with his bare hands. He lay motionless in the half-man-high barren meadow, adjusting his breathing to almost inaudible, the wildebeest who were bowing their heads and gnawing on the grass roots walked to his side and did not notice him, Al jumped up like a leopard, grabbed the antelope horns like two large iron tongs, and then kicked the treebeest in the front leg of the trepebeest with his foot, forcing it to kneel on the ground, Al took advantage of the situation to clamp the long head of the wildebeest with his legs and knees, and pressed the wildebeest's mouth and nose into the thick snow, the wildebeest could not exert its strength on its front legs, struggled and did not move, and suffocated to death after a few minutes, Liang Ke also rubbed a piece of leg meat。 This old and young man were the life support of the small steel hat division after entering the great plains of Biasso, because they were the only ones who could find a way and water in this endless grassland, avoiding the herds of beasts and horse thieves.

"Grandpa Rory, how long will it be before we get to campground today?" Tucker asked as he walked a few quick steps and looked at old Rory, who was sitting on a prairie elk with his eyes closed. Old Rory opened his eyes and looked at Tucker with a smile.

"Hahaha! Is our little Tucker hungry? Look ahead, isn't Al already back?" Old Rory pointed to the north with the big pipe in his hand, and a black dot appeared on the tip of the grass in the distance, Tucker was small, and he jumped several times and didn't see Al speeding over, but dropped his helmet on the ground. Tucker picked up the helmet, put it back on his head, and said to old Rory with a smile: "Brother El is really amazing, every time you can find the most suitable campsite, not only has a water source, but also shelters from the wind, and you don't feel cold at night." ”

"Hahaha! You're wrong, my little grandson isn't that powerful, you see, didn't Grandpa Rory bring several prairie elk? Finding water is their skill, as long as the wind is right, they can easily find water within ten miles, and if the water is poisonous, these clever fellows will not drink it. ”

"Oh, these stupid and stupid looking guys are so good?"

"Hehe! And that's not all! They can also distinguish the territory of those powerful monsters, as long as there is danger ahead, you just kill them, these guys will not take a step forward, do you say they are stupid or smart?"

"Ahh

Old Rory squinted his eyes at the little grandson who was getting closer and closer, spit out a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "There is no absolute whether it is powerful or not. These stupid guys are very powerful with its advantages now, but when they meet the Piazo ghost wolf, they will roll their eyes in fright and foam at the mouth, and they will pass out directly. Do you still think they're awesome?"

"Hahaha! What a useless fool, this is too small!" Little Tucker reached out and patted the elk under Rory's buttocks, and the tall elk was so frightened that it blinked and tried to dodge.

"The Nether Wolf is so bold that it dares to attack almost all the animals of the grassland, but they have to be extra careful when they drink water. ”

Old Rory smiled at Tucker, who looked confused, knocked the butt of his pipe off the elk's huge horns, and continued as he tucked the pipe into the small leather pouch around his waist, "That's because there is almost always a small insect in the water source of Biaso, and people call them 'leeches'. The bugs are elongated and transparent, making it difficult to distinguish with the eye, and once eaten into the stomach, they burrow into the flesh of a person and keep sucking the blood until they burst open. The most terrifying thing is that they kill themselves as a way to reproduce themselves, and those shattered bodies will quickly turn into another leech, and then repeat the process until all the flesh and blood of the parasite are eaten. ”

When Tucker heard this, his hairs stood on end.

"Grandpa Rory, didn't we also drink the water here for two days, and I don't feel anything now!"

"We humans depend on wisdom to survive, don't you see me tell everyone before entering the Biazo Plain that the water must be boiled before drinking? Besides, although this parasite is present in every water source, there are not many of them, otherwise there would be no way for animals to live in this savannah. You have to remember that God the Father is just. Hehehe!"
