It was just dawn, and everyone in the rebel camp standing in the wilderness was still asleep except for the soldiers on duty.

Chen Ziang got up early, dressed neatly, and immediately woke up the hundred-man general Wang Hu and others.

""Sir, it's not even day yet, what's the matter?"

Hundred-man general Wang Hu yawned and asked in confusion why Chen Ziang had woken them up so early in the morning.

Although Hundred-man general Wang Hu was older than Chen Ziang and used to be Chen Ziang's superior, Chen Ziang was now a thousand-man general, so he insisted on addressing Chen Ziang as a subordinate. Chen Ziang had no choice but to let him go.

"Brother Wang, we will start training from today. Chen Ziang looked at the brothers who were fighting with him and said seriously.

"Training?"

After hearing this, Wang Hu and others were even more confused, because their rebel army had never trained since they started.

"Our army defeated the Dynasty army several times, not because of our strong combat effectiveness, but because of our large numbers. If our army did not have the advantage in numbers, we would definitely lose."

"In the future, we will face more and more enemies. If we want to remain invincible, we must train, train our battle formations, and hone our strength to become indestructible! Only in this way can we survive in the life-and-death fights in the future and enjoy wealth and honor!"

Chen Ziang's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. Although Wang Hu and others could not understand it for a while, they knew that Chen Ziang would never deceive them.

"Sir, just tell us what to do, we will listen to you!"

Wang Hu and more than ten other brothers came from the same village as Chen Ziang. Now Chen Ziang is the commander of a thousand men, so they subconsciously follow Chen Ziang's lead.

"Okay, I appreciate your trust, but I'll be frank with you. My training is hard and demanding. If any of you want to quit, speak up now and I'll ask the leader to arrange for you to go somewhere less demanding."

"But if you choose to train with me, you must meet my requirements. Otherwise, I will punish you with a military stick.——"

Wang Hu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't take Chen Ziang's words to heart at all. They patted their chests and thought that they would be able to hold on.

"Okay, now you go and wake up the rest of the people, and we’ll start training!"

""Yes!"

Soon, Wang Hu and others went to the various military tents and started to lift the quilts and shout at the sleeping soldiers.

"Get up, get up!"

"Don't sleep, assemble!"

Chen Ziang is now a general of 1,000 in the rebel army, with more than 800 converted prisoners of war from the Dynasty Army under his command.

These prisoners of war from the Dynasty Army all volunteered to stay. In the past few days, Chen Ziang has talked with their officers and ordinary soldiers separately, and held a grievance meeting to make them change their minds.

Now being called out from the warm bed early in the morning, it would be a lie to say that they had no complaints, but they were new here, so they dared not complain.

"Report to the commander, everyone has lined up!"

It took a lot of time to gather more than 800 soldiers, but considering it was the first time, Chen Ziang did not blame anyone.

Chen Ziang walked to the front of the queue, looked around at the sleepy soldiers with a sharp gaze, and nodded with satisfaction.

These were all recruited by the Dynasty Army, most of them were young and strong, and had been trained. At least with a little training, they would be an elite force.

"I don’t care what you do in the Dynasty Army, but once you come under my command, Chen Zi’ang, you must follow my rules!"

"Now listen to my command, line up in four and follow me to practice morning jogging!"

"Huh?"

After hearing Chen Ziang's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what this group of thousands of people were up to.

""What are you still standing there for? Run!"

After Chen Ziang finished speaking, he took the lead and trotted towards the gate of the camp.

At the urging of Wang Hu and others, more than 800 soldiers followed Chen Ziang and ran out together.

""Four people in a row, run in a neat line!"

Seeing the messy team, Chen Ziang couldn't help but turn around and scold.

Wang Hu and others were determined to execute Chen Ziang's orders, and they immediately shouted and scolded.

Li Lang and others were also puzzled, but seeing Chen Ziang running in front, they had to follow.

The rebel soldiers guarding the gate of the camp saw Chen Ziang running with a large group of people, and their faces were also full of confusion. What was going on?

In the puzzled and confused eyes of these guards, Chen Ziang led the team out of the camp, and then began to run around the camp.

Chen Ziang is now unable to form a cavalry, so they rely on a pair of legs to march and fight.

In such an era of cold weapons, whether it is chasing the enemy or escaping, if you can't run fast, everything is in vain.

So Chen Ziang first practiced running when training his soldiers. On the one hand, it can improve the team's physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can temper the team's willpower and cohesion.

"Brothers, shout after me!"

"One, two, one, two, one......"

Seeing that Wang Hu and others had almost organized the running team, Chen Ziang began to shout slogans.

Although the soldiers followed the shouting for the first time, their voices were messy and uneven.

But as they became more familiar with it, the slogans became more orderly, and before they knew it, their steps were in unison with the slogans.

"one two three four!"

"one two three four"

"Why are you acting like a woman? Let me hear your voice!"

"one two three four!"

""One, two, three, four!"

Led by Chen Ziang, more than 800 burly soldiers shouted in unison, which was powerful and loud.

The sleeping rebel soldiers in the camp were also awakened by the loud and orderly slogans. They rushed out of the military tents in dishevel, thinking that the Dynasty army was coming to kill them.

"Who the hell is howling so early in the morning?!"

The rebel soldiers who rushed out of the military tent looked left and right, but did not find the enemy of the Dynasty Army, and could not help but curse.

""One, two, three, four!"

At this time, they noticed Chen Ziang and others running around the camp.

More than 800 soldiers, led by Chen Ziang, marched in neat steps and shouted neat slogans, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. What was going on?

"It seems to be Chen Ziang, the general who killed the general and captured the flag two days ago."

Soon, someone recognized that the one running in the front was Chen Ziang, the general of the thousand men.

""You are so full and have nothing to do, so you are just messing around in the morning."

Seeing Chen Ziang running around the camp with interest, the rebel soldiers watched for a while, found it boring, and went back to sleep.

The leader Chen Ru was also awakened. He stood at the edge of the camp and saw Chen Ziang personally leading more than 800 soldiers to run and sweat profusely. He didn't understand what Chen Ziang was up to.
