The road from Jiangxian to Beishanbao takes more than a day for fast horses. Under normal circumstances, the army would be able to reach it in three days at most.

But this time, the commander of the three troops, Meng Yuan, encountered the first level after walking for three days.

A mountain stream with no bridges. Even more terrible was the fact that the water level of the stream skyrocketed due to a torrential rain.

Even if the soldiers gave up their wagons, people would not be able to walk.

"It was originally a stone arch bridge. The construction of such a stone arch bridge takes a long time and consumes a lot of materials. ”

A Han guide, stunned as he watched the scene in front of him, muttered.

It is much easier to destroy than to build.

In a place like the mountains, the cost of building a stone arch bridge is enormous. But such a bridge was destroyed by Wu Nian without hesitation.

This ruined thing.

"Carpentry on. Temporary wooden bridges. Li Da's mouth was about to split, and the anger in his heart had already rushed to the top of his head, and he would burn himself to death if he didn't release it, he said loudly.

Of course, there are craftsmen in the army, building bridges and paving roads, as well as repairing siege equipment or something. Of course, it is still the Han people, and the Mengyuan people are only responsible for sending soldiers into battle.

A gray-haired old craftsman walked up and said tremblingly, "My lord." Now the water is too strong for people to stand steady, and going down is just a dead end. ”

Li Dazui's face turned green, and he clenched the horsewhip in his hand, but this time he didn't wave it. Craftsmen are different from auxiliaries, and it is enough to kill an auxiliary soldier and then pull a strong man.

Craftsmen, especially such old craftsmen, die one less than one.

"Wizard. But is there any other way? Li shouted at the guide. The guide lowered his head, didn't dare to hide from the spit from Li's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Yes, but you need to take a long detour." ”

Li Dazui had nothing to say, so he could only let out an angry roar towards the sky in impotence and rage.

"Ah!!!!!h

His strength was sufficient, and a roar resounded through the mountains, and it stretched endlessly. Birds in the trees around the disturbance fluttered their wings and flew high.

After a long time, Li stopped roaring with a big mouth, and said, "Find a place to set up camp." The craftsmen keep an eye on the water level, wait for the water level to drop, and immediately start work. ”

"Yes." Everyone exhaled and hurriedly bent down in response.

North Hill Fort.

When the rain stops, you can get to work.

Under Li Yong's organization and under the leadership of the peasant women of Beishan Fort, the peasant women either turned on the loom and smoked, made a large number of cotton cloth, or cut wood all over the mountains.

Hunting teams were also organized to hunt in the mountains. All the prey obtained was given to the elite soldiers.

Including Wu Nian's family, except for the sick and weak, such as the Chen family, all people are not allowed to eat meat and eggs, and all of these foods that can supplement protein are saved and eaten by the elite soldiers.

The militia can occasionally get some soup to drink.

There are twelve hundred households in the elite soldiers expanded in Wu Nian. Zhang Jin, Tie Niu, and Liu Wu each commanded three hundred households, and Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng led three hundred households as Wu Nian's personal soldiers.

The four of them had four command systems, and they chose a valley or a flat ground to start training. In such a short period of time, there is very little that can be trained.

The main thing is to recognize the face.

When fighting, each soldier must remember the members of his own squad (small flag) and the small flag officer.

In addition to recognizing faces, Zhang Jin and other lieutenants also taught the soldiers various tips for defending the city.

Although Beishan Fort didn't know how fierce and powerful Jinhuan Mountain's revenge was. But everyone understands that the main thing in this war is to defend the city.

What should I do if I get injured?

The enemy has climbed the wall, and who will go up it?

How to shoot the arrow in your hand quickly and steadily.

This is all necessary knowledge.

Wu Nian attaches great importance to the care of wounded soldiers, and teaches the elite soldiers simple knowledge such as how to stop bleeding quickly and how to deal with wounds.

The medical team, commanded by Wang Ruyan and composed of some bold peasant women, is also stepping up training, hoarding bandages, sheep intestines, and so on.

The militia, which is several times more numerous than the elite soldiers, is also stepping up training, and theirs is much simpler, just an auxiliary and supplement.

Moreover, people's hearts are not aligned. But Wu Nian still attaches great importance to it.

North Hill Fort North.

Two or three thousand militiamen lined up in a large phalanx, with rudimentary spears in their hands, no battle jackets, no armor, some with bows, others without.

Some people have a resolute face, while others cower.

Wu Nian stood across from them, wearing a brand-new battle jacket and a saber around his waist, followed by some house slaves.

Wu Nian took a deep breath, looked at these militiamen, and said loudly, "I know. Some of you think I'm the devil and that I'm the one who sent you to battle. ”

"I confess that I am the devil, and I want you to shed your blood."

"But I do want you to live. In this short period of time, I will teach you how to fight a simple battle and how to save your own life. ”

"On the battlefield. You are soldiers. To survive is simple, defeat the enemy. We have become a huge loom. You are part of it, and so am I. ”

"Every part, it can play its own role."

"The more one of you kills an enemy, the more chances you have to live."

"Desperate, let's train."

In the end, Wu Nian took a deep breath, and then drank out, and his voice was very loud, resounding throughout the world.

When the militiamen heard this, they were in a commotion. A militiaman stood up excitedly, bowed to Wu Nian and said, "General." Please don't be presumptuous. I don't think you are the devil, I think you are Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the generals who led us to victory. ”

"Expelle the Tartars and recover Liaodong."

In the end, the militia held their heads high, and their eyes shone brightly. Trust, respect, and adoration intertwined on his face and eventually turned into fanaticism.

If there is a capable person to lead them to victory, it is the general in front of them.

"Thank you." Wu Nian felt that the corners of his eyes were slightly sour, although many militiamen were reluctant, but many militiamen supported me.

"Start training right away." Wu Nian took another deep breath, adjusted his breath, and shouted.

"Yes." Two or three thousand militiamen shouted in unison, and the momentum was also good.

Wu Nian nodded and took a spear from the hand of the house slave next to him. He didn't teach the spear technique immediately, and Xianlang said, "The main movement of the spear is to stab. ”

"Do not use spears as sticks in crowded cities."

"The sting must be accurate, fast and ruthless. Against the Meng Yuan soldiers without armor, you can stab them anywhere. But against the Mengyuan soldiers with armor, you can only stab your neck. ”

"If you can't. Then you can only stab the feet of the Meng Yuan people's heavy armor soldiers, push away the Meng Yuan soldiers, or trip the Meng Yuan soldiers to create opportunities for their companions. ”

Wu Nian held the spear and took the trouble to explain the advantages and weaknesses of this weapon and how to cooperate on the battlefield.

Under his co-ordination, whether he was willing or unwilling, he could only follow him.

Beishan Fort has become a solid rock, even if the Mengyuan people are really a fierce tiger, it will make it break its teeth.
