Ever since He Yi left the village on the edge, he had been moving from village to town in the north.

The first is to check the people's feelings, and the other is to find out the news about the cultivators in the secular world.

Especially that Qi Cultivator.

The results are more sorrowful than joyful.

After ten years of development in the secular world, the scale of cultivation has become extremely large, and even in a remote place like the northernmost part of Rongzhou, there are a large number of cultivation forces scattered.

The Qi Cultivation Sect can be called one of the best, with hundreds of inner disciples, and countless outer disciples like Zhou Cheng.

However, most of these people are bull-nosed veterans who can only use tricks, confusing dozens of believers, and when they drill into this mountain, they will say to the outside that they are a certain sect.

In these years, you can see such things everywhere, the world is very chaotic, and it is said that what kind of immortal sect it is, in fact, it is no different from those robbers and bandits who occupy the mountains as kings.

It's just that such "bandits" are obviously more confusing to ordinary people who don't understand anything.

He Yi suddenly realized a problem, a very serious problem.

He didn't know if all the sects of cultivation in the secular world were like this Qi Cultivation Sect, treating the lives of ordinary people as if they were grass mustard.

If so, then what kind of attitude will the defenders of the four prefectures and cities have towards the cultivators?

He Yi decided to join the army.

............

"Boy, you're good. ”

The recruiting commander stood up and patted He Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Pei, and my single name is an Eastern character." From now on, the position of deputy general will be yours. Also, there are about 100 recruits recruited this time, so I'll hand them over to you for training first, do a good job, don't let me down. ”

Pei Dong arranged it like this, and naturally he had his reasons.

After all, He Yi is a newcomer, and he has not made an inch, so he sat in the position of deputy general, and it is inevitable that he will be tongue-stricken in the future.

If he directly handed over his old subordinates to He Yi, I am afraid that no one will be willing to listen to his command, it is better to train new soldiers, if they can do some achievements, it will naturally be better.

Even if you don't get any results, that's fine.

After all, if he can pull his iron-tired bow, he is at least a brave talent, and it is not a mistake to be promoted.

"By the way, you only have five days for this recruit training. As soon as the five days are over, Huyang City will send people over to fight the bandits with us. Before leaving, Pei Dong told He Yi the time of training and sending troops.

"Five days, so short?" This made He Yi feel surprised, only given five days, these hairy recruits are estimated to not even have a strong grip on the barrel of the gun, and they are sent directly to the battlefield, what is the difference between cannon fodder and sending them to death?

Won't it ...... Is it really for these recruits to be used as cannon fodder, right?

This thought flashed in He Yi's mind.

Pei Dong nodded and said: "That's right, this recruitment was originally a rush recruitment, although it was a new recruit who had just joined the army, but it was also carefully selected, and the overall quality was not bad, otherwise how could such a high reward be offered? A hundred yuan is enough, and there is a cow and a pig, the combined value of these things is close to eight hundred yuan, and ordinary people may not be able to exchange it for a year of hard work!"

He Yi was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly, "Yes." As soon as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Commander Pei, has this matter of recruiting troops been widely spread? I mean, do those mountain bandits outside the city know that we are going to send troops to fight against them?"

"How do I know if they know or not. Pei Dong rolled his eyes, and then said with a disdainful face: "Even if you know, what? It's better to scare away, isn't it beautiful?"

"......" He Yi was speechless.

Recruiting troops and suppressing bandits, this is not surprising, but only a hundred new recruits were recruited, and it was stopped.

What role can a mere 100 recruits make?

This is one of them.

Second, listening to the meaning of Pei Dong's words, five days later, Huyang City will send people to Pingyuan County.

That Huyang is a county town, with tens of thousands of defenders, and it is naturally no longer a problem to clear some rogues. But why did they have to recruit troops on a temporary basis? And there were only a hundred of them?

He Yi was a little puzzled, although it was just to deal with some mountain bandits who had little combat effectiveness, but this kind of behavior seemed a little rash after all.

After thinking about it, he couldn't find any way, so he could only give up for the time being and began to think about how to train the army.

......

In addition to teaching them to be familiar with weapons and battle formations, more importantly, how to instill courage in these recruits so that they are not afraid of the battle.

Of course, this is just a general training method, and it doesn't have much effect at all for He Yi, who only has a five-day training period.

So, he had to do something unusual.

"A group of ten, ten phalanxes, stand and assemble!"

He Yi called the hundred recruits to one place and asked them one by one, about half of them were from Orion, and the rest were farmers who wielded hoes all year round, and they all had great strength.

In this way, He Yi didn't bother to distribute them, and directly divided the recruits into two, half of them were archers and half of them were sword and shield soldiers.

After receiving the weapons and armor from the armory, He Yi waved his sleeves: "Follow me!" and walked out of the city with more than 100 people.

The city walls of Pingyuan County are low and simple, and they are in disrepair, showing a dilapidated appearance.

If there is no war, it is better to say, in the event of a war, how much destruction can such a wall withstand?

"Five days... If I were a thief, what would I do if I learned that in five days, the army of Pingyuan County would come to attack me?"

He habitually thinks about problems and analyzes the situation from the perspective of the opposing party, and only in this way can he anticipate the enemy's opportunities and make all possible countermeasures.

Regardless of the outcome of the matter, there are two things that must be taken into account.

First, the enemy does not know his own conscription, or the purpose of his conscription.

Second, the enemy already knows what he is trying to do and what he is going to do.

If it's the former, then you can easily win if you attack it, but what if it's the latter?

If they don't want to sit still, they will have to make other plans.

And the best way is to occupy the entire plain county before the reinforcements from Huyang City arrive, and then rely on the walls of the plain to resist the Huyang reinforcements.

At worst, they burned, killed and looted, plundered the resources in the plains, and the money and materials obtained were enough for the thieves to regain a foothold in another place.

"If they want to seize the plain in advance, they will definitely not attack directly, and if there are traps and tricks in it, they must be prepared in advance. ”

Thinking of this, He Yi made up his mind in his heart.

"Your Excellency. The array is already arranged, what should we do next?" the two young men ran up to He Yi and asked.

These two young men, one Jia Shao and the other Fan Wu, the former was born as a hunter and learned a hunting skill from his family since he was a child, and was good at traps and lurking;

After some understanding and testing, He Yi made these two temporary squad leaders of archers and sword and shield soldiers respectively.

"So fast?" He Yi walked over quickly, and couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that the quality of these recruits is really as Pei Dong said, they are not bad.

The members of the archers are almost all hunters, with hunting experience, and naturally know some traps and concealment skills, and these people's brains are generally relatively bright, He Yi pondered for a while, then called Jia Shao to his side, whispered in his ear, and gave a few orders...

"Huh?" After listening to He Yi's order, Jia Shao was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help but say, "Let's do this, we won't be killed by the soldiers defending the city, right?"

"Just do it, and if anyone asks, say it's my order. He Yi smiled at him, looking a little mysterious.

"This ...... Under the command. ”

Jia Shao had no choice but to receive the order, so he quickly left with the archer team.

After he left, He Yi whispered a few more orders to Fan Wu.

"My lord, this ...... What kind of training is this?" Fan Wu also looked sluggish and dazed.

"Just do it, that's all for today's training, before dark, you must complete it, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" He Yi said with a dark face.

“......”

The two of them took their own orders, and then took the recruits to run errands, and He Yi climbed the city tower and quietly watched them move.

In a trance, He Yi felt that he had returned to the days when he was in the barracks, and he had some nostalgia.

I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know my former comrades, but are they okay?

Inside the city gate.

"Alas, you, come here! If you want to enter the county, you must be interrogated first!"

Jia Shao took fifty recruits to block the passage to check the passing merchants, and after a car and a pedestrian entered the city gate, he was immediately stopped by Jia Shao and his people.

"Didn't you just check it?" said the merchant with some dissatisfaction, but seeing that the group of soldiers in front of him were shiny and cold, he dared not speak out in anger, so he had to honestly re-examine him.

These recruits are inexperienced, the speed of inspection is very slow, and gradually, the people in front cannot leave in time, and the people behind can only be blocked.

It didn't take long for the inside of the gate to be blocked.

"Ahead, can you hurry up? It's getting dark!"

"That's it, I don't let people do business! I've traveled all these years, and it's the first time I've heard that you have to check twice when you enter the city!"

"Soldiers!

The people in the back began to complain, and some of them had big tempers and began to take advantage of the chaos to shout and scold.

Soon, a large number of people gathered in front of the city gate, pushing and shoving, scolding, and the scene was more chaotic and chaotic.
