Chapter 7: Field Training

Although there are no large brute beasts in the mountains near Chiyangwei, they belong to the same Luofu Mountains as Luofu Mountain, and there are also some sparse brute beasts in the mountains. From time to time, there will also be some large brute beasts that wander by. As long as you enter the mountain, there is a certain danger. This is also because the Du family army will regularly organize soldiers to enter the mountains to clean up brute beasts, which can not only make there no large brute beasts in the mountains around Chiyangwei, ensure the safety of Chiyangwei, but also train soldiers for Chiyangwei, and finally provide guarantee for Chiyangwei's meat supply.

Du Xuan divided one hundred soldiers into ten teams, each team of ten soldiers, the standard configuration of cooperation is seven people, and the remaining three are substitutes, and they can step forward at any time to make up for the gap in the team.

The distribution of personnel is also very particular, at least two or more melee combat, one or two agile ones can attack brute beasts, and the rest are long-range attacks. When facing the brute, two melee warriors go up directly with shields to resist the brute, and the agile warrior can provoke the brute at any time to attract the beast's attention and firepower. The ranged attackers in the back attack with all their might, and the three substitutes are not idle, and can participate in the long-range attack, but they must be ready to make up for the gaps in the battle formation at any time.

Du Xuan trained his troops like this with his considerations, and it was difficult for the soldiers of Daqi to gain the upper hand against the barbarians, especially the barbarian cavalry. Unless it's some elite composed of body refining masters. However, the elite composed of body refining masters, only Du Changgeng's guard battalion in the Du family's army has such luxury. In the general battalion of the Du family's army, the masters of body refining are at least the leaders of more than 100 households.

The ordinary barracks of the Du family army can only rely on the superiority in numbers or the advantages in terrain and equipment to seek a balance in the war.

Although the Black Bear Fort that Du Xuan was going to was on the border, it was relatively remote, and it was unlikely that a large barbarian army would invade, at most a few barbarian scouts would come. Once this happens, Du Xuan will need to lead a hundred recruits to clean up.

Du Xuan brought all the recruits, not to mention the masters of body refining, even if there were ordinary martial artists, there were not many. The good material has long been selected by the Du family's army, and the current urgently replenished military resources are lower than the previous recruitment requirements of the Du family's army.

But Du Xuan is not worried at all, although these soldiers are a little weaker, they are also their advantages, these soldiers are like a blank sheet of paper, and they can be cultivated completely according to Du Xuan's vision. Du Xuan tailored various training methods for these soldiers according to their characteristics, and combined them into very distinctive squads. Once these squads grow, they will become a force to be reckoned with. What's more, these soldiers are all very potential soldiers picked out by Du Xuan.

Yang Wancai is the one with the best potential among the 12 recruits with military general potential that Du Xuan fancies. Du Xuan also paid the most attention to him.

A wild bull suddenly rushed out of the bushes, apparently frightened. This bull was an adult bull, weighing three or four thousand catties, and when it ran, four thick legs of the cow trampled on the ground, and the ground shook as if there had been an earthquake. The brute bull was originally a relatively tame brute beast, and many military households in Chiyangwei domesticated the brute cow at home, which was used to cultivate the land and pull the cart, which was very useful. But once the bull is frightened and goes crazy, it will be very terrible. Martial artists in the middle stage of body refining could not resist the collision of an adult bull head-on. Even the martial artists in the late stage of body refining were reluctant to face a brute bull.

Yang Wancai's team happened to be in the direction directly opposite the manniu.

"Be careful! Stay out of the way!" Du Feng, who was standing beside Du Xuan, hurriedly shouted loudly, rushing over as he shouted.

Du Feng was a martial artist in the late stage of body refining, and he was barely able to resist the collision of the brute bull. However, the recruits of Yang Wancai's team are all recruits who have just begun to refine their bodies, and even if they are added together, it is difficult to block the collision of the brute bull. If this is so rushed by the brute bull, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Du Xuan was very calm, looking at Yang Wancai to see what kind of performance he would have.

"Don't panic!" Yang Wancai shouted, "Yu Guijun, Xu Dongchu, you two hold shields and protect the archers." Cai Qidong and Yao Qinghan, you two attack, be careful not to face the brute. The bull will only rush in a straight line, and everyone will move!"

Yang Wancai was very calm, he did not panic in the face of the menacing frightened bull, and arranged countermeasures in time.

Du Xuan nodded approvingly.

Then, although there was no problem with Yang Wancai's arrangement, Yang Wancai's team did not cooperate for a long time, and the whole team still lacked tacit understanding. In the face of the crisis, there was still a hint of panic.

Liu Chaofu, the archer in the back, stumbled, causing the sword and shield hand in front of him to tripped over Gui Jun's hind legs. Seeing that the wild bull was about to trample on Yu Guijun's body.

Yang Wancai flew out, and a sharp sword in his hand pierced into the eye socket of the wild bull accurately.

"Whew!"

The brute cow hissed sadly, and then completely fell into a state of madness.

"Quick! Quickly avoid!" Yang Wancai directly abandoned the long sword in his hand, and after jumping down, he pulled up the Gui Jun with his hand, and then quickly avoided the impact and trampling that the brute bull chased up.

"Attack, attack, attack, attack, Yao Qinghan, you see the opportunity to blind the eye of the brute bull!" Yang Wancai shouted as he dodged.

"Okay! I don't believe I can't deal with a one-eyed bull!" Yao Qinghan flew up at the right time, and used the sharp scimitar in his hand to blind the other eye of the bull. The bull was completely blind and completely crazy, and it was completely rampage, crashing into two big trees one after another, knocking the big trees and shaking them non-stop. The leaves are falling in a daze.

All this happened in an instant, and before Du Feng could run, he stopped, turned around and returned to Du Xuan's side.

"What do you think of this Yang Wancai?" Du Xuan asked.

"What a general. It's a pity that the cultivation is too low, and fighting with the barbarian soldiers, this group of recruits is not enough. Du Feng said with some regret.

"Don't worry, there is still enough time, and when they get to Black Bear Castle, they can continue to practice. Martial arts can be practiced hard, but it is rare. Du Xuan laughed, he was in a good mood.

Du Feng was still very worried, he felt that his young master had never seen the cruelty of war, and he had not seen the cruelty of the barbarian army. With these 100 recruits, once they encounter the barbarian army on the battlefield, how many of them can survive a cruel war? Du Feng saw that Du Xuan was in a good mood, and he couldn't bear to tell Du Xuan this cruel truth.

After a while, the brute bull was already full of arrows, blood kept falling from the wounds all over his body, and his two eye sockets were completely surging with dark red plasma. Everywhere the bull went, it was a mess, and there was red blood everywhere.

Yang Wancai's team always surrounded the bull, attacking the bull from time to time. Although the blood in the body of the brute bull continued to lose, it finally reached the point where it could not bear it, and its body shook and fell down heavily.

"We won!"

Yang Wancai's team cheered excitedly. As a group of recruits, killing a brute beast like the Wild Bull for the first time made them extremely excited.

"Hurry up, get your gear in order. What is a brute bull? In the future, we will face barbarians! Liu Chaofu, what happened to you just now? One mistake of yours almost disrupted the formation of our entire squad. This time we must learn a lesson. Yang Wancai pointed out a mistake that almost led to the rout of the entire squad in the battle just now.

"Captain, Chaofu was also accidentally tripped over a bush just now, blame me for retreating too fast. Yu Guijun hurriedly spoke for Liu Chaofu.

Liu Chaofu hurriedly said: "It's all my fault, I didn't observe the terrain in advance." Otherwise, you won't be tripped over for a moment. ”

"Alright. Let's clean up this brute cow together. So much brute meat, don't waste it. It's time to eat today. Yang Wancai did not grasp Liu Chaofu's mistake.

Ten squads, not every squad was able to survive unscathed, and a hundred recruits appeared more than a dozen injuries in the first day of field training. One of them accidentally broke his leg, and he had to cultivate for a long time, so he obviously couldn't go to Black Bear Castle with Du Xuan. Fortunately, Du Xuan prepared some more people, just to prevent unexpected attrition during training.

Although with the passage of time, Du Xuan's recruits have fully adapted to hunting in the mountains and forests, and the number of injured people every day is getting smaller and smaller, and the attrition is even rarer. The combat effectiveness of each squad is also getting stronger and stronger. Du Xuan also arranged for the various squads to cooperate in combat, but because the cooperation between the squads was still very rusty, the cooperation between the various squads became a mess.

Not enough, even so, Du Xuan still insisted on practicing the mutual cooperation between the various squads. He had to train a hundred recruits as a whole, and only then would the Black Bear Fortress have a chance of winning in the face of a small attack from the barbarians.

Du Changgeng is still very concerned about Du Xuan's training.

"I'm going to Black Bear Fort soon, what is Du Xuan doing these days?" Du Changgeng asked Du Feng.

"A few days ago, they were divided into small teams to hunt, and now they are starting to practice the coordinated operations of each team, and they are all a group of recruits. Du Feng disagreed with Du Xuan's training.

"Yes, it's a pity that they're all recruits. Du Changgeng groaned.

"That's right. No matter how well it cooperates, it is a group of new recruits who are guts. Not to mention fighting the brute dog head-on, even if you encounter a powerful brute beast, you will also be defeated. Du Feng said.

It was really said by Du Feng's crow's mouth, and when a team of 100 people was engaged in a cooperative combat exercise, a wandering brute beast broke over. It's not as simple as a bull. It's a majestic golden-spotted brute tiger. Whether it is attack power, speed, and flexibility, it is several times stronger than that of the Brute Bull. Du Xuan's new barracks are facing the biggest crisis.

Chapter 8 is fraught with danger
