Chapter 74 It’s really boring without fighting (Please subscribe, please support, thank you all)

Zuoshi Camp is a great place to view the night view of the lower city.

Qing Yi stood on the observation deck overlooking the entire lower city, which was bustling with lights.

The Xingshui Wharf outside the city is still bustling at night, with the ships loading and unloading cargo brightly lit, a rare scene of prosperity in this wild world.

Ran You saw Qing Yi standing there in silence, thinking that he was still worried about the fact that the king had not summoned him yet, and comforted him in a rough voice:
"In previous years, when the invaders came in the spring, the cities in the northern border had to prepare for the war with all their strength. There was often not enough manpower to farm, and a large number of acres of land were left uncultivated, resulting in food shortages.

Even if the king requisitioned all the grain in the capital, it would not be enough. Every year, he had to purchase grain from countries south of the yellow river and was often harassed by other countries.

Nowadays, these sets of spring farming tools can greatly improve the efficiency of spring farming. Even if an army of more than 100,000 invades, spring farming in cities in the northern border can proceed normally, and the defenders of border cities may even be able to cultivate land on the spot.

You also know the saying that enough food means enough soldiers. Only when there is enough military rations for the soldiers to eat can they fight with peace of mind!

Even if the king doesn't have the energy to summon you today, don't worry, brother. He must have been delayed by the war in the northern border. Sooner or later, he will accomplish a great feat."

Qing Yi shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I am not worried about my own achievements, but I am thinking about what happened on the way to the capital.

Even though he worked together with everyone to kill a junior totem warrior and a beastmaster, and also killed dozens of Blood Wolf tribe savages, it cannot be considered real combat experience, as he killed the enemies by relying on brute force.

Now I am already fifteen years old. Even if I will not be sent to fight in the northern border city in the short term, I will inevitably be ordered to suppress the barbarians and thieves in the capital area, but I don’t know too many battle skills. ”

"Brother, you are worried about this!"

Ran You suddenly laughed out loud with full confidence.
"I'm not sure if you want to learn other things, but if you want to learn battle formation experience and techniques, our Master Zuo has no shortage of experts in this area. Starting tomorrow, I'll practice with you."

The next morning, just after daybreak, Qing Yi was awakened by Ran You's loud voice. The soldiers of the Left Division had already been performing martial arts in the parade ground.

Ran You held two long halberds in his hands, casually threw one to Qing Yi, and said in a rough voice: "Most of the Xianyu army in the northern border are cavalry, and the ordinary long spears are too weak, so it is best to use this extended halberd.

In fact, in the real battlefield of the Northern Frontier, the Xianyu cavalry are good at archery, especially the Xianyu archers, who are superb archers. Using only the halberd will be used as a target, so sword and shield soldiers must be used in combination with the halberd. "

Ran You taught with a serious look on his face, and Qing Yi listened very attentively.

The halberd techniques in the battle formation require the simplest killing moves, which include less than ten moves such as picking, chopping, stabbing, splitting and cutting. The most important thing is the skilled coordination with all kinds of soldiers.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Qing Yi completely mastered Ran You's halberd skills. He not only pointed out many shortcomings in Ran You's halberd skills, but also optimized many details.

Of course Ran You didn't know that this was Pan Qing's ability. He was surprised and delighted and taught Qing Yi all the combat techniques of various weapons such as spears, lances, bronze maces, iron whips, axes, etc. without reservation.

Qing Yi did not disappoint him. He was able to master each weapon within two quarters of an hour. He was also able to quickly point out the flaws and come up with ways to improve and optimize them.

Ran You was overjoyed to get these benefits, and he worked even harder to teach all his skills.

Qing Yi greedily learned all the skills and military tactics, and ate the meat of wild wolves and other exotic beasts and plenty of food for every meal. Unknowingly, his physical strength exceeded four thousand kilograms.

Not only Qing Yi was studying every day, but Chai Yong and his group of militiamen also recovered completely in less than two days after being treated with magical medicine.

Seeing Qing Yi learning battle tactics from Captain Ran You every day, they also ran to watch and secretly learn from the martial arts training of the Zuo Shi soldiers.

Whether it was the two interceptions and attacks by the Blood Wolf Tribe on the way to the capital, or the fight between the City Guards and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Third Division in the capital.

These militiamen were like fish on a chopping board, powerless to resist. All this deeply hurt the dignity of these country men.

After watching the training of the Zuo Division's soldiers for a day, Chai Yong and others could no longer hold back and ran over: "Village head, can you let us train with the brothers of the Zuo Division?"

After watching the Huaiqiuli militia's drill, Ran You shook his head and said, "You are pretty good among the rural militias. Even many of the nobles' private armies are not as good as you. But your strength is still far behind that of the Zuo Division. If you are mixed with them for drills, it will be difficult for them to adapt in a short period of time. I'm afraid there will be no progress."

Qing Yi was slightly disappointed. Who doesn't want his own military force to be stronger? However, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Ran You, I have a good idea. You can let Sima Ziche lead 20 brothers of Zuo Shi.

I will lead the twenty militiamen in Huaiqiuli to conduct confrontational training on both sides. I can also help you see if there is room for improvement in the formation of the left division. "

It has to be said that Qing Yi's suggestion really made Ran You excited. Moreover, Qing Yi had previously proved with facts that he could quickly find the flaws and loopholes in many martial arts and fighting skills.

When Zi Che Zhong Xing was called over by Ran You to explain his intentions, the dark-faced rough man said with embarrassment: "If we conduct such a confrontation exercise, I'm afraid the brothers in Huaiqiu will suffer a loss."

The twenty soldiers of Zuo Shi looked even more indifferent. In fact, Ran You and Zi Che Zhongxing had similar thoughts, but they did not show it because they were afraid that Qing Yi would be embarrassed.

The Huaiqiuli militia was indeed at a disadvantage in the confrontational exercise at first, but after a morning of training and adaptation, under the command of Qing Yi, they actually made the soldiers of the Left Division suffer two minor losses.

Now, whether it was Ran You, Zi Che Zhong Xing, or the twenty soldiers of the left division, they all began to adjust their mindsets and respond with the most rigorous attitude.

After the soldiers of the Left Division adjusted their mindsets, the militiamen in Huaiqiuli were beaten and covered in wounds every day, but this practical training made them improve by leaps and bounds.

After the fifth day of training, even though the Huaiqiuli militia had lower overall strength, they were able to attack and defend with the soldiers of the Zuo Division under the command of Qing Yi.

Chai Yong was responsible for leading the Huaiqiuli militia, and he also seized every opportunity to diligently learn combat skills and ask Zi Che Zhongxing for advice on military tactics.

After a few days, his progress was very obvious. Even Ran You, who had higher requirements, smiled and praised him for being able to serve as a qualified sergeant in the Zuo Division.

After five consecutive days of high-intensity confrontation training, even the soldiers of the Left Division, who were in good physical condition, could not bear it any longer. The militiamen in Huaiqiuli were almost exhausted, so Ran You had to announce a temporary rest for half a day.

During the break, everyone gathered together to brag and chat, but they had talked about the same recent news and soon everyone lost interest.

Zi Che Zhong Xing pounded the ground with his fists in frustration, and couldn't help wailing, "Oh my god, it's so boring without a fight, Master Zuo is confined to his room for a month and is not allowed to go out, and today is only five days later.

It will take another twenty-five days before we can fight the city guards again. When will these boring days ever end? "

"Yeah! It's really boring without fighting!"

Several Simas, team leaders and other grassroots officers also responded weakly.

There were many soldiers of the Left Division around, some of them squatting in the sun counting ants. The ants in mid-spring had just left their nests and were busy with their goals, which made the soldiers of the Left Division who had nothing to do particularly envious.

There were also soldiers from the Left Division watching the falcons take off and land on the corner tower of the Flying Eagle Camp, counting out of boredom how many falcons took off and landed in an hour.

More soldiers of the Left Division had their eyes dazed, their muscular heads blank. If the general did not give them orders, their whole life would suddenly lose its interest.

In the distance, dozens of soldiers found the fun of life and were competing in stone throwing.

Throwing a 30-jin stone into a circle ten feet away was the only way for the soldiers of the Left Division to vent their energy.

Qing Yi stayed in the Zuo Division camp for a few days and finally understood the feelings of the Zuo Division soldiers. Apart from the routine two hours of martial arts training every day, there were no entertainment activities.

No wonder the fighting between the Left Division and the City Guards has a tradition of hundreds of years. Perhaps the king and the ministers condoned the soldiers' fighting in order to give the soldiers a place to vent their energy.

After figuring this out, Qing Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind.
