After spending only ten days on their honeymoon, the newlywed Yan'er's Yuan Qi and Shangguan Mi had to temporarily end the glue-like lingering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and it was Shangguan Mi's father Shangguan Yi who interrupted the honeymoon period of the two. After these ten days of preparation, Shangguan Yi had already prepared the 20 million money and 200,000 grains promised to Yuan Qi.

With this money and food, Yuan Qi immediately shifted his mind to the expedition to Xinman and Thorn Tower. While asking the people of the government to count the money and food, Yuan Qi came to the general prison again, and he wanted to see how the red-clothed ballista was progressing. As a result, the efficiency of Wang Yezi, Ma Jun and others surprised Yuan Qi. In less than a month, they not only completed the improvement of the red-coated ballista, so that the red-coated ballista had both the advantages of the Great Qin rhubarb crossbow and the later three-bow bed crossbow, and had been officially put into production, and now, thirty red-coated ballistas have been manufactured.

Yuan Qi was full of praise for the four improved red-clothed ballistas, believing that they would be invincible weapons on the battlefield. Yuan Qi's praise is relatively fair, the improved red-coated ballista has a range of up to an astonishing 600 steps, and adheres to the world-famous penetrating characteristics of the rhubarb crossbow, and at the same time, according to the structure of the three-bow bed crossbow in later generations, the improvement of the one-shot three-sword crossbow has been completed, and on the basis of the three-bow bed crossbow, there has been a certain improvement. On the redcoat ballista, there are a total of five crossbow bolts in the regular configuration, two of which are javelin-like crossbows as thick as a child's arm, and the other three are small crossbows about the same length as a longsword. These five bolts can be fired at the same time, or they can be fired individually for precise bursting. Its effective range is 500 paces, and it can deliver a devastating blow to the target within 500, if it does not require accuracy, a distance of 600 paces. It is also attainable.

There was still a period of time before the expedition, Yuan Qi told Wang Yezi and Ma Jun to speed up the construction of red-clothed ballistas, and strive to build a hundred red-clothed ballistas when they set out on the expedition. Wang Yezi agreed to Yuan Qi's request and promised to make more red-coated ballistas as soon as possible.

Returning to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Yuan Qi convened several people from the Military Mansion for a small-scale meeting to determine the specific troops and generals for this expedition. At last. Under the consultation of several people, Yuan Qi decided to adopt the plan of bringing the old with the new in this expedition, that is, with some veterans as the main force, supplemented by most of the recruits, so that the recruits could be baptized in blood and fire. Be able to grow up as quickly as possible. Of course, the recruits in Yuan Qi's mouth. It's not a rookie who has just enlisted in the army. Rather, the soldiers who have undergone more than a year of rigorous training have become quite mature in their military qualities and combat skills, and what they lack is only their personal experience on the battlefield. Veterans can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military, and will make recruits who have not set foot on the battlefield feel steady. And under the training of Gao Shun and others. Yuan Qi was not worried that the recruits would flee from the battle, and in Yuan Qi's army, the three points of loyalty to Yuan Qi, the fighting style of brave combat, and strict compliance with military orders had evolved into the soul of the army. Under the guidance of the military spirit, it is almost impossible to see the defection from the army of the Yuan Dynasty. This is also one of the important reasons why Yuan Qi used the ideas of later generations to manage the army, and it is more important than anything else to build the faith of the army under his subordinates.

In this expedition, Yuan Qi is expected to invest 60,000 soldiers and horses, of which only 20,000 are veterans, namely the 5,000-day return army, the 5,000-land return army and the 10,000 flying dragon army. The Tiangui Army still plays the role of Yuanqi's personal guard, responsible for the safety of the Yuanqi Central Army, the Digui Army is responsible for operating the red-coated ballista, and will enter the battlefield as an elite infantry army when necessary, and the Feilong Army is the main force in this campaign, using cavalry to restrain the cavalry, defeating the cavalry of Xinman and Thorn Tower to the greatest extent, and destroying their confidence in using cavalry as the main force.

The other 40,000 are soldiers who have been conscripted into the army in the last two years, and some of them have already set foot on the battlefield, but most of them are still participating in the war for the first time. When Gao Shun and others were training, according to Yuan Qi's orders, they often conducted actual combat exercises with a high degree of simulation, but no matter how real the actual combat exercises were, it was impossible to replace real battles. Only after experiencing real battles can they transform into real warriors, and Yuan Qi is looking forward to their growth.

In terms of generals, Zhao Hu, who is the commander of the Tiangui Army, and Ma Yue, the commander of the Digui Army, must follow Yuan Qi's side, and Qi Tian, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, will also go out with Yuan Qi and fight side by side with Yuan Qi again. In addition to these three people, Yuan Qi also ordered Zhang Chong and Xu Fang's generals and asked them to be responsible for commanding the recruits and going to the battlefield together. In the military palace, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu will go with Yuan Qi as marching staff officers. Originally, Yuan Qi planned to take Jia Yuan with him, but Jia Yuan was a little old after all, Yuan Qi couldn't bear to let Jia Yuan always run around, and the climate outside the plug was hot and cold, Yuan Qi was worried that Jia Yuan would not adapt, so he let Jia Yuan stay in Yanjing. In addition, the leader of the most hidden dragon, Li Ru will lead some of the hidden dragon members to secretly follow the Yuan Qi army, and spy on the military secrets of Xin Man and Thorn Tower for Yuan Qi, so that Yuan Qi can grasp the movements of the two clans as much as possible, so as to formulate the most suitable strategic policy.

The specific date of the expedition is set for the 20th of the following month. Now there is less than a month left before the day of the expedition. During this period of time, the people in the military and government offices had to be busy, and they had to strictly examine the names of each soldier who went out to fight, which unit these soldiers belonged to, who commanded them, and so on; they also had to prepare corresponding materials and armaments, such as swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, armor, banners, and other conventional equipment, and at the same time count the money and food to ensure that the military salary of each soldier could be distributed to them on time. Soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass, but it is the law of marching and fighting in ancient times.

At the same time, several generals who were sent out by Yuan Qiqi were not idle, taking advantage of the more than 20 days before the expedition, they stepped up the training of their subordinate sergeants, especially Zhang Chong and Xu Fang, who were in charge of recruits, and they were very strict with the training of the sergeants. Zhang Chong and Xu Ban deeply believe this truth, they don't want these recruits, only a few people can return triumphantly in the end, what they hope is that everyone can have the last laugh and share the joy of victory together. Despite this desire of theirs. It is somewhat unrealistic, if there is a war, there will definitely be deaths, but they still keep urging the recruits day and night to speed up training, in order to have more recruits survive on the battlefield and complete the transformation into veterans.

Next, Yuan Qi himself was also busy. Years of war and all kinds of things have made him not receive Fuyaozi's hellish training for a long time, although Yuan Qi will insist on practicing martial arts for at least two hours every day, regardless of the cold and heat, but Yuan Qi still feels that only under the master's hellish training can it be regarded as real martial arts. In order to play a further role.

Regarding Yuanqi's active begging, Fuyaozi readily agreed. According to the previous hellish training, after a day of training for Yuanqi, Fuyaozi was pleasantly surprised to find that Yuanqi dealt with it easily, and there was no difficulty at all. This shows that Yuan Qi's usual martial arts are diligent in training, so that he will have such an effect as he is now. From the second day, the intensity of the training was strengthened, which made Yuan Qi shed some sweat a little. For Yuanqi's performance, Fu Yaozi was quite satisfied, and on the third day, the intensity of training was directly raised to the super S level. The so-called super S-level, is Yuan Qi described, he trained the intensity according to easy to difficult, named D, C, B, A and S level, this set of training intensity classification, also Yuan Qi applied to the army, now Zhang Chong and Xu Block and others, are doing S-level training for the sergeants who are about to go out.

And the super S-level, as the name suggests, is the training intensity that surpasses the S-level difficulty. In the whole world, only Yuan Qi has this honor for people who can receive super S-level training. Under the super intensity training, Yuan Qi finally began to sweat like rain, a large amount of physical energy consumption every day and the use of the halberd method thousands of times, finally let Yuan Qi complete a breakthrough on the penultimate day of undergoing hellish training, and have a higher level of understanding of the halberd method and the way of transportation. At the same time, his finger Xuan chapter was also quietly and passively affected, and then broke through to the nineteenth layer, which can make Yuan Qi use nineteen dark energy one after another without stopping, although the breakthrough of the finger Xuan chapter is only one more dark energy, but it also makes Yuan Qi happy, the breakthrough of internal strength, the more difficult it is to the back, this unintentional breakthrough can be described as an unexpected joy.

In the last three days before the expedition, both Yuan Qi and the recruits under Zhang Chong, Xu Bao and others suspended their strict training and turned to restorative training, in order to ensure that their state was adjusted to the best and lay a good foundation for the expedition. At the same time, under the instruction of Yuan Qi, Hua Tuo also came up with a set of medicinal diets to supplement the 60,000 soldiers who had undergone strict training, which was also the concept brought by Yuan Qi from later generations, using diet to ensure the abundant physical strength of the soldiers under his command. When Yuan Chu was in charge of Youzhou, it was stipulated that the soldiers had to have meat for their daily meals. Eating meat can not only nourish the soldiers' bodies and exert stronger strength, but also secretly stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight, because only by protecting their homes and winning one battle after another can they ensure that they have meat to eat. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, that's the truth. Meat and medicinal diet gradually adjusted the state of 60,000 soldiers to the best.
