Chapter 194: Before the Expedition (I)
Chengdong Battalion, Chu Chen is now the de facto chief officer of the Chengdong Battalion, because he was training these soldiers, Qin Yu simply let him stay in the Chengdong Battalion, but his main task was to train the troops.
Half a month has passed unconsciously, and the camp of the camp in the east of the city has slowly taken on the appearance of a barracks under the supervision of He Xuan.
A full 200 soldiers stood motionless on the training ground like stones, which was said to be a training ground, but in fact it was just a relatively large open space carved out according to the local terrain.
The armor that was still on the field that day still exuded a cold edge after being exposed to the sun and rain, and a full fifty elite knights stood around the field as if they were cast in iron.
It had been three full hours, and the more than 200 people had stood there without eating or drinking, the sun shining down like knives, and sweat was already flowing from their heads.
Chu Chen's delicate cheeks were also a little stiff, none of these soldiers spoke, and none of them dared to move, because Chu Chen's words were very simple, if you moved, you would add an hour.
Before that, they had also practiced archery for an hour on the arrow target that Qin Yu had operated from the north of the city, and after that, they had to train in riding.
Qin Yu's purpose and goal are very simple, the standard training method of elite knights, from bit by bit, the physical fitness and combat quality of these former soldiers are rapidly improving.
In order to allow these people to maintain sufficient physical strength and nutrition during training, Qin Yu simply bought a large amount of meat and refined flour from Qingcheng, so that these soldiers could eat and drink well, and then their task was to keep training.
In the evening, there will be soldiers patrolling the camp to randomly "find faults" and exercise their reflexes.
Chu Chen also put forward a condition, these two hundred people, who can't stand it, can leave at any time, and no one will hold them accountable, at the beginning, those who are not strong-willed among these people want to leave.
But what Chu Chen said very clearly, this is also a big war, and the person who leaves is a deserter!
Da Zhou is very famous, and the name of a deserter can make them suffer from the criticism and eyes of their colleagues and relatives, and in the end no one leaves.
Zhao Feng was also among them, enduring sweat and pain, he was persevering.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came over, and a soldier wearing light armor and a black cloak handed a letter to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen unfolded the letter and read it for a long time, then said loudly: "The whole team!"
In just a few moments, a horizontal and vertical phalanx of two hundred and fifty people slowly took shape, Chu Chen glanced at it, and then said loudly: "You have a stick of incense time to pack up your weapons and food, and after an hour, gather here and disperse." ”
As the commander-in-chief, he would not explain the reason for this, and under his training, these people have become accustomed to ignoring them, they are just soldiers, and all they have to do is carry out.
After the crowd dispersed, he looked at the black-robed knight and said, "This is to ask us to gather at Luohu Slope, why did the general attack Luohu Mountain?"
The black-robed knight hiding under the black cloak couldn't see his expression clearly, nor could he see his face, in fact, this was the black-robed knight of Yao Lie's organization who passed the message between the barracks, and belonged to the "Dark Wind", and the "Dark Wind" was only responsible to Qin Yu alone, and the others had no authority to command them, this is what Qin Yu said when he established this organization.
The black-robed knight actually had the right not to answer Chu Chen's question, but he also knew that Chu Chen was one of Qin Yu's valued brothers, and he said lightly: "The young master said that Qingyuan City has fallen out with the Xiang clan in the northwest, and now we are going to capture the minions of the Xiang clan and the mountain bandits of Luohu Mountain, which is also an opportunity to train troops." ”
Chu Chen nodded, in his eyes, these two hundred people were actually far from meeting the requirements, but he also knew that Qin Yu's words were not wrong, this was an opportunity to train troops, "You go back first, we will arrive at Luohu Slope this afternoon." ”
The black-robed knight bowed his head and rode away.
And at the same time, the camp in the north of the city.
One hundred and fifty elite knights and fifty melee infantry of the Ye clan were also ready to go, which was the most core force in Qin Yu's hands.
The goal of this team will be the Mother Snake Mountain Snake.
The soldier is very fast, and the relationship between him and the Xiang clan in the northwest is definitely at the freezing point, rather than waiting for the Xiang clan to come to the door, he should strike first and wipe out all the horse bandits on the three mountains controlled by the Xiang clan.
According to the information provided by Yao Lie, these three mountains, the Snake Mother Mountain has 500 people, the highest strength, Luohu Mountain has 150 people, Heiyun Mountain has 200 people, the strength of the big boss of the Falling Tiger Mountain has reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, and the strength of the Black Dragon of the big boss of the Black Cloud Mountain has reached the half-step realm.
There will be an uphill battle to be fought.
Since he had already released his words, that Xiang Fang must have given his words to the bosses of the three mountains, but they must not have imagined that their speed would be so fast, after saying it yesterday, they would start fighting today.
This is his advantage, taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared.
The disadvantage is that most of his men are cavalry. The bandit village is built in the deep mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy for the cavalry to exert their might, so this time these cavalry are going to dismount and fight hard.
This time, he didn't plan to let the hoplites fight, the best place for these hoplites to play was on the battlefield, as a natural mobile fortress, their value was far from such a mountain battle.
Only on the plain battlefield of the indomitable battle with the alien race, the heavy knight will exert its impressive power.
The speed of preparation of the camp in the north of the city was very fast, and with the sound of war drums, a fast horse drove out of the camp like the wind and headed towards the snake mother mountain.
Snake Mother Mountain, this is a steep and strange mountain located more than ten miles outside the city of Qingyuan City.
There are many poisonous snakes in the mountain, and the heavenly snake village established by the three brothers of Han Snake is located in the deepest part of the snake mother mountain.
A stone village built entirely by the mountain stone is so abrupt and amazing eye-catching stands on the barren mountainside, the village is built according to the mountain situation, there is the arrow tower that has been established by Han Qi on both sides of the walled gate, looking at it from afar, it is really a man who is a pass, and the posture of ten thousand people is not opened.
Snake Mother Mountain is secretly supported by the Xiang clan in the northwest, and over the years, the horse bandits in Snake Mother Mountain have developed rapidly, and there is no lack of support from the Xiang clan.
In Dazhai, swords and guns are like forests, and reckless men in light clothes stand in two rows like iron towers, and the so-called "Juyi Hall" is in the middle.
In the Justice Hall, there were bursts of shouting and cheering at this time, and it seemed that the big and small leaders in the cottage were drinking.
