1758: Prepare
Fan Chang hugged a big man heavily, and Min Qi behind him also looked at the general stationed in Xiangxi curiously. This was a general who was even more capable than Fan Chang, otherwise it would not be his turn to be a trial place for the training of recruits in both countries. Compared with Fan Chang, who was tall and bearded, this one was short and extremely strong. Standing there, it was like a door panel. In Min Qi's eyes, this person was like a reduced version of a wild dog, with an extremely ferocious appearance. At this moment, he hugged with Fan Chang, pounding each other's armor vigorously. Listening to the clanging sound of the armor, Min Qi felt a burst of soreness in his muscles.
Wang Yun's subordinates have already seen three of them. Needless to say, Fan Chang is the most familiar to Min Qi. Zhang Huang, who beat him up, has never seen him. Now he has seen another Qin Ye, who is called Qin Ye by Fan Chang.
Just looking at his arrogant look, he is really comparable to some wild boars.
The way the two of them greeted everyone a little thrilling. Many people even wondered whether they could still stand if they were hugged and knocked by these two guys.
Fan Chang turned around and waved to Min Qi. Min Qi immediately trotted to Fan Chang and stood straight.
"Wild Boar, this is Min Qi, the commander of Zhiguo, who led the new recruits this time, and is also the direct commander of this operation." Fan Chang pointed to Min Qi and smiled.
Qin Yezhu looked at Min Qi up and down, and said with a smile: "Min Qi, I have heard of it, I have heard of it." As he said that, he stepped forward and took a big step, opened his arms and hugged Min Qi, "Welcome to this flesh-and-blood mill, boy!"
When Qin Yezhu opened his arms, Min Qi took a deep breath and hugged him without showing any weakness. The two of them exerted force at the same time, and the armor squeezed the armor, making an unpleasant sound. To outsiders, the armor on both bodies seemed to be sunken inward.
"Okay, the wild boar, stop at the right time." Fan Chang next to him knocked on the back of the wild boar, and said with a smile: "What else?"
Qin Yezhu let go, took a step back, tilted his head and looked at Min Qi for a while, then said: "Boy, his martial arts cultivation is very good. It is more than enough to be a lieutenant of Zhiguo. But leading troops to fight is not a powerful martial arts cultivation, and he can walk out of the test site and bring more brothers out. He is considered a hero in the army."
"I will bring all my brothers out." Min Qi said with his head. The contest between the two just now made him feel relieved. At least in the contest of force, he was not inferior to this man who was like a door-board.
After hearing Min Qi's bold words, Qin Yezhu flattened his mouth, "I hope you can do what you say!"
Turning his head, he no longer paid attention to Min Qi, but said to Fan Chang: "Their residences have been arranged. When will it start?"
"It's going to take three days!" Fan Chang thought for a while and said, "I want to make up for them."
"Come on the verge of a sudden?" Tan Yezhu burst into laughter. "This is not your bearded style."
"If you don't want to sharpen your guns in the face of battle, you'll be shining even if you don't have a smile!" Fan Chang's face felt a little bitter. If it weren't for the existence of a special person like Min Qi, he would have arrived today, and he would have brought these people into the mountains tomorrow.
The people arranged for people to take Min Qi and his friends into the fortress to rest, but Fan Chang and Qin Yezhu climbed to the top of the fortress. Unlike Changzhu Mawangji, here is a solemn atmosphere. The dark fortress stands not far from the mountain, like an iron gate crossing in front of the mountain, locking the passage to walk out of the mountain.
"How effective is Old Demon He this trial?" Looking at the towering mountain in the distance, a white hat was already on the top of the mountain, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Or in a few days, heavy snow would fall from the sky.
"Not very good." Qin Yezhu's face also restrained his previous relaxed expression, "The loss is more than in previous years."
"How many people have you lost?" Fan Chang took a deep breath.
"When I went in, I had more than 140 left when I came out, and I lost more than 50 people. The biggest loss in the past years." Tan Yezhu shook his head: "Old Yao He said, this time his opponent was stronger and stronger. The quality of the soldiers of the Qi people was getting stronger and stronger, and the gap with us was quickly narrowing."
"How could this happen? The Qi people did not have a training camp for recruits. They recruited soldiers directly from the people." Fan Chang said in surprise. "Our people said they were recruits, but before we came to the army, we had been undergoing military training for several months. After arriving at the army, we carried out another round. Except for lack of experience, the other ones were not too far from the veterans."
"Do you know the South Heaven Gate of Qi?" asked Qin Yezhu.
"Of course I heard that even if I don't ask about such a famous sect, his news will come into my ears." Fan Chang said.
"Because the Nantianmen involved the coup in Qi State, the new emperor suppressed them very much after ascending the throne. Now a large number of disciples from Nantianmen began to join the army. Under the leadership of this storm, the Qi people recruited soldiers and selected the young martial arts students from the Jianghu sects. Hey, it is said that they are the first choice, but you can't come. Now you understand why? They are not good at placing troops, but their combat effectiveness is excellent. He Lao Yao finally took over the command and cut off before retreating. This time, you must also be prepared."
Fan Chang nodded silently: "It is a good thing for the enemy to be strong. For us, only by experiencing such a powerful test can we truly grow up. Wild boars, we may not be worse than the Death Camp now."
Tan Yezhu laughed: "You are so heartless. Now the death camp no longer draws elite soldiers from various departments, but mainly recruits children from nobles and high-ranking officials. It is inevitable that the combat effectiveness will decline. However, their old foundation is still there. Are you sure you can compare with others?"
"Not possible now, not necessarily in the future." Fan Chang laughed.
Qin Yezhu thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. Fan Chang's idea was actually not good. The former Liehuo Death Camp was the number one unit of the Ming Dynasty, and its members were composed of the most elite soldiers drawn from various divisions. However, the Ming Dynasty has now become a national power, and the chances of the Liehuo Death Camp to go to the battlefield are almost gone. Entering the Liehuo Death Camp to serve has become the best channel for all the children of noble families to express their loyalty to the emperor. Due to all reasons, the Liehuo Death Camp has slowly begun to transform after the end of the Battle of Chu.
No matter how powerful a force in the past is, once it no longer goes to the battlefield often and no longer stands the test of blood and fire, it will be normal to degenerate. And troops like Fan Chang and Tan Yezhu are fighting on the front line all year round, which is naturally different.
"Aren't you worried about that noble man?" Qin Yezhu asked: "I can tell you with certainty that if there is something wrong with this kid in the trial, your life will be over. You can wear your shoes until you die. Although we are famous local people, in the eyes of real big names, it is just a little ant."
Fan Chang shook his head: "I'm not worried about him. Haven't you tried his martial arts cultivation just now? If Qi people are just some martial arts masters, he is really fine, not to mention that my new secretary and logistics officer have followed him, have you not noticed? These two guys are his guards. I guess that the cultivation level of these two people can hit you a few. I'm just more worried about those real ordinary soldiers."
"That depends on this noble young master's command art. If it really doesn't work, you can take over. We are just a trial, not letting them die." Qin Yezhu said.
Fan Chang nodded, "I will act according to the opportunity. Once he makes a mistake, I will take over. Isn't this the purpose of our follow-up? In addition to emphasizing the things in snow combat for them, we should also emphasize the things in collective combat and technical cooperation for them. As long as we work together, it is not scary. Besides, you have not paid attention to our weapons equipment?"
Qin Yezhu snorted: "Why didn't you notice it? They are all fresh things. They are the benefits brought to you by that noble man, right? Hello, I just said that you got along with him, so I didn't find out if he was the young master of that big man?"
"I don't know, but his surname is Min, and it is likely that he has something to do with the Queen."
"No wonder." Tan Yezhu exclaimed: "After the Chu State was destroyed by us, even if the Min family was finished, it seems that the Empress still wants to support the Empress. This is also human nature. Big bearded man, you really have to be careful. This person will never have any trouble."
"I know." Fan Chang nodded and turned to his head: "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. With this time, I might as well teach my soldiers, wild boars, the drawings I want. You are ready and send them to me in the evening."
"Do you still need to say this? You're ready." Qin Yezhu nodded.
When he stepped into the military camp where he was stationed, the people in the room immediately stood up. Because there were often new recruits from various departments here to train, Xiangxi also specially built such a military house. Two rows of long and long beds were placed out in one go, and all 200 people were stuffed in.
Fan Chang was very satisfied with his subordinates. He did not have any humbleness in the dormitory, but sat wherever he was sitting, carefully wiping his sword and tidying up his bags.
He pressed his hands and signaled everyone to sit down. Then he looked at Min Qi and said, "All officers above the commander come out, everyone else, please rest soon!"
Outside the large dormitory is a small war room, with a map of the Xiangxi area drawn on a whole wall, and this place is exactly where they are about to enter. In the middle of the house is a sand table, which accounts for almost two-thirds of the entire house, above the sand table.
