However, when Alok heard this, he said to Jose with a serious face: "Lord Joseph, your personal guard cavalry can be led by the chief of the guard, but the infantry of this banner regiment should be left to me! Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, as a general, if you don't know the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under your command, it's like a warrior doesn't know whether the long sword in your hand is sharp, so I want to go to the grassland with Miss Sophia!"

"It's good that with an experienced general like you in charge, you have a better chance of success. Yarook, you personally choose a banner regiment of infantry, and take a few points of armor and armor from the armory, I will approve them all!"

Seeing this, Gould immediately couldn't help but shout: "Then I'm going too, the infantry is all led by Yaroke, and the cavalry will be handed over to me! Lao Tzu hasn't fought with those steppe people for a long time, and his hands are already itchy!"

"No, fatty, you stay. Joseph smiled faintly at this time, couldn't help but glance at Gould a little strangely, and then shook his head and said: "You just stay in Boulder Town to train, in a few days, I have more important tasks to hand over to you......"

Alok soon returned to Boulder with Sophia and his party, and drew a banner regiment of private troops and a cavalry of 1,000 men. A third of the private army was a third of the veterans of Alok, which was also to hone the recruit's combat experience, and the thousand-strong cavalry was handed over to the broken hands, which he and Martin jointly controlled.

Joseph obviously attaches great importance to the first battle of this new army, and mobilizes all the generals and staff under him except Gould to go out to the battle, and it can also be regarded as an assessment of Alok and Sophia, including all the generals including Duan, are extremely trusted generals under Joseph, so this battle is also an important battle to test the combat effectiveness of his army.

Although he could not go with the army because of his position as a county guard, he would never stay in the county seat of Sadrand without doing anything. The reason why Jose left Gould behind was that in addition to training the remaining private army, he naturally had other tasks assigned to him. Looking at the entire Saddland County, the most scrupulous thing for him is naturally Gray and the Northwest Army under his command!

For more than three months, the problems of the Northwest Army have made Jose very dissatisfied. Although Gray was extremely enthusiastic for the first time after taking over the new army, the deputy governor of the county garrison began to make a move as José opened his workshop and drilled his private army in an orderly manner. Without José's consent, he privately placed several of his men in the new army, and it was clear that the commander did not simply want to take control of the army with José.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the foundation of the 6,000-strong new army is too poor, under the training of Gray and several officers of the Northwest Army, after three months, these new troops also have the appearance of soldiers. It's just that these guys are arranged to drill the Northwest Army, although the overall appearance is much stronger than the ordinary new army, but the army's discipline and organization are far worse than those private troops under Joseph.

This is because the Northwest Army's military training has a prominent characteristic: Paying attention to actual combat! This is also an army practice that Heru has cultivated since he took charge of the Northwest Army. After a period of training, the new army will arrange for a certain number of veterans and recruits to be mixed together, and then go to some subordinate towns and trade routes to suppress bandits and train their troops! It can be seen here that the Northwest Army's strong reputation is not in vain, and like the garrison troops in some other parts of the empire, even if they want to conduct actual combat drills, they all organize confrontation training in the barracks. And when it came to the Northwest Army, it turned out to be a direct pull out of recruits to hone in actual combat!

However, this has also created the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers of the Northwest Army, because the real elite is not something that can be trained on the school field, and all the Northwest Army has been honed through actual combat, one knife and one gun, and such an army is naturally extremely strong in combat. Moreover, Moxi is close to the border of the empire, not to mention that the steppe people in the west often harass the border, even those robbers and horse thieves entrenched in the trade routes are also perennial, so there is basically no worry about not having a real combat object.

Although such a training model will inevitably bring about certain casualties among new recruits, it is also a guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. And whether it is to suppress bandits or fight with the grassland people, it is essentially for the stability of Moxi, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a soldier.

Whether it is the descendants of the Northwest Army like Ronkedo and Gray, or even the former Northwest Army generals like Gould and Aloke, they also respect this training model. In their opinion, the army can only be honed through actual combat, and only after truly feeling the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, seeing the flesh and blood, and facing the enemy's swords and death threats, can they truly cultivate the courage of soldiers and become an elite division!

As a descendant of the Northwest Army, Gray naturally highly admired this training model, so after three months of training in this new army, he asked Jose to lead his troops to several nearby horse thieves' rampant dens to suppress bandits.

Of course, this is just a nominal greeting to Jose, after all, in Gray's opinion, it doesn't matter if this so-called county warden agrees or not, anyway, his Northwest Army is in his own hands. Although this new army is nominally the garrison army of the county town of Sadland, the commander of the banner regiment and several battalion officers are his subordinates, hmph, even if Joseph personally gives an order, he may not be able to mobilize this new army!

José knew what Gray was thinking, and Gray had been in charge of training recruits these days. In order to secretly train the affairs of the private army, he turned a blind eye to these things, but this guy secretly cultivated his wings in the new army, and wanted to control the affairs of this garrison, how could he not know. This so-called training of bandits is probably just to further control these new armies, if this guy is allowed to operate in the new army for a few more days, I am afraid that this so-called Sadland garrison will sooner or later become the army of his Northwest Army.

However, although Jose was unhappy in his heart, when he saw the route reported by Gray, he couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart:

The route runs west through the county town of Saddland to the exit of the Valley Corridor, where horse thieves and robbers are most rampant. But from this road map, José noticed a detail that Gray overlooked!
