Training elite soldiers is actually very simple.
With enough money and food, diligent training, and strict military discipline, you can train an elite army.
But this is easier said than done.
This requires persistence.
As the saying goes, all it takes is hard work to grind an iron pestle into a needle. The same goes for elite soldiers. This is a water mill effort that needs to be polished slowly.
Just in line with that couplet.
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Wu Nian gave the task of training elite soldiers to Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, and he only controlled the general direction.
He himself, together with Tieniu, Long Qie and Liu Wu, followed Zhang Jin to practice horse racing. The rest of the people still practice horse riding on the ground, which is the stage where they are familiar with horse riding.
Wu Nian had already started galloping and waving his horse's spear.
In the morning, the sunshine was quite gentle and not very hot. Outside Beishan Fort, on a flat piece of land. Filled with many scarecrows.
There are many types of scarecrows.
Some were wearing black headscarves, some had red dots on their chests, and some had red arms.
Zhang Jin, Tieniu, Long Qie, Liu Wu and others were watching. Wu Nian is sitting astride a strong horse, holding a horse's spear of eight feet in his hand.
He took a deep breath and tightened his feet on the horse's belly.
"咴咴" the horse barked a few times, then spread its hooves, carrying Wu Nian and charging towards the scarecrow. Wu Nian's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a blade.
"Whoa!!" He raised the spear in his hand and swept it across. The spear tip accurately chopped off the head of a scarecrow wearing a black turban, and then spun around and stabbed the red scarf on the chest of another scarecrow. He clicked, turned the machete in his hand, cut from bottom to top, and cut off the arm of a scarecrow with a red arm.
There were twenty scarecrows at the scene. Wu Nian rode his horse and charged in from the front, from behind, from the side, and from the side, cutting down and stabbing all the places marked by the scarecrows.
His movements were as precise as a robot's, without any mistakes.
This is not war, this is practice.
What he practiced was his eyes and Ma Shan's shooting angle.
Although it looks a bit dull, it is very useful.
"Huh." Wu Nian tightened the reins of the horse, stopped the horse, raised the stalls and stood on the ground. Looking at the messy scarecrow in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.
This horse can be regarded as the first step, and the next step is actual combat.
There should be no problem. He holds a steel knife and can also move around on the battlefield. Practical experience is not bad.
"Congratulations, sir." Zhang Jin, Long Qie, Tieniu, Liu Wu and others gathered around and clasped their fists in congratulations.
"As expected of you, sir. When I studied this section, it took me a long, long time." Zhang Jin sighed and expressed his sincere admiration.
He already felt it.
In terms of martial arts training, Wu Nian has outstanding talent.
Wu Nian is like a piece of cloth, constantly absorbing nutrients. As time goes by, he finally breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly, and the horse becomes a small tree.
Tieniu, Liu Wu, and Long Qie also nodded. They had just started and could understand the hardships involved, but Wu Nian had already mastered it. How long had it been before?
This is the so-called martial arts wizard.
Wu Nian was not modest in this regard, and said with a generous smile: "That's right. In terms of martial arts training, whether it's boxing, kicking, bow and arrow, swordsmanship, swordsmanship or horse riding, I have extraordinary talents. "
Wu Nian handed the horse in his hand to Tieniu, reached out and took the water bag from Liu Wu's hand, and drank a few sips of water. He said to Zhang Jin: "Brother, I have to go out for a trip. I will leave the affairs of Beishan Fort to you for the time being."
With that said, he turned to look at Tieniu and Liu Wu and said, "You two, come out with me."
Zhang Jin was a little surprised, and then frowned. Said: "Brother, Banbian Zhang has kept a low profile now, but I can guarantee it. It is hiding in the darkness, waiting to give you a fatal blow. It is not safe for you to leave Beishan Fort now."
"Brother Zhang is right." Long Qie nodded in agreement.
"I know. That's why I only take Tieniu and Liu Wu with me. This way our target will be smaller. And I will come back as soon as I go."
Wu Nian smiled and nodded, with no intention of changing his mind.
He must take care of his sister Wu's matter.
If the concubine who caused his sister's miscarriage was not dealt with. What kind of brother is he?
He already felt guilty for wasting all this time because of selecting armored soldiers and practicing horse training. Nothing to say now, go out to do errands.
When Zhang Jin and Long Qie saw this, they stopped saying anything.
Wu Nian is the kind of person who makes up his mind and even eight horses can't pull him back. Besides, they also believed in Wu Nian.
Although Liaodong is very large, half of it is very dangerous. But people like Wu Nian are capable of controlling things.
They had no objections, and Liu Wu and Tieniu had no objections even more. Everyone went back to Beishan Fort together. Wu Nian explained this matter to Liu Xiang and Chen, but did not tell Wu or allow them to say it.
After dinner, Wu Nian, carrying only a steel knife and some silver, together with Tieniu and Liu Wu, took advantage of the darkness and left Beishan Fort.
In the sky, the bright moon and stars echo each other. It also corresponds to that song.
The stars in the sky join the Big Dipper.
If you say let's go, let's go.
You have it, I have it all.
Seeing injustice on the road, he roared.
Take action when it's time to take action.
The wind, wind and fire are rushing through Kyushu.
The sky and the earth are so big that Wu Nian can leave whenever he wants and come here whenever he wants, so why should he be afraid of half-measures?
Wu Nian's brother-in-law is Zhang Dashan.
The family lives in Lianshanbao.
The Zhang family was originally an ordinary military household. After Mrs. Wu got married, she worked diligently and thriftily in running the house, and her small life was considered nourishing.
But after Zhang Dashan became rich, things changed.
Mountain Fort.
It is located in the south of Beishan Fort, separated by fifty or sixty miles of mountain road, and belongs to another Qianhufu.
Liaodong is now in chaos and there are many bandits. This small mountain road of fifty or sixty miles is not very smooth. I don’t know how Wu brought Zhang Zhen back to Beishan Fort.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian felt a fire in his heart.
But this stretch of road is nothing to Wu Nian, Liu Wu, and Tieniu. They didn't team up with anyone else, just three of them.
Maybe the three of them were lucky, or maybe the bandit had a bright eye and saw that the three of them were not easy to mess with. In short, it took them half a night and half a day to reach Lianshan Fort.
At noon, the sun was a bit fierce. Wu Nian looked up at the Lianshanbao wall not far away and shook his head slightly.
Like Beishan Fort, the walls of Lianshan Fort are also in tatters. Such a hundred-household residence is already rotten to the core.
Wu Nian and the three of them carried knives, and they looked unfamiliar. But under the eyes of many military households, he entered Lianshan Fort majestically and went straight to the Zhang family's residence.
