The conditions of the Flying Eagle Society were so bad that they couldn't even get a few decent weapons together, so they had no choice but to let them use their poles, hoes, and kitchen knives as weapons.
The wide variety of weapons made it very difficult for Ye Ying to train the bandits in basic combat skills. He couldn't teach them too much in a short time, so all the bandits should generally be taught only three moves. But these three moves cover several important aspects of offense, defense and retreat, and are indeed of great use in actual combat.
It's just that the bandits' foundation is so poor that they can't learn a simple movement several times. Even if they barely learn it, it's only similar in appearance but not in spirit. Regarding this, Ye Ying was helpless, but fortunately everyone was quite diligent.
It's just three simple moves. It took everyone a whole day, but they didn't understand the essence of the move clearly. Others had no other way, so they had to do it like this. There was no time to train them systematically now.
The next step is combat training. The most indispensable thing in the mountain is wooden sticks, one for each person, so that the bandits can fight against each other.
The people in the middle are basically villagers from Gejia Village. On weekdays, everyone has a pretty good relationship, but they are reluctant to start a fight. In this case, the training effect will be very poor.
"At this time, they are no longer your brothers and friends, but your enemies. They want to steal your things and kill your relatives. You have to fight them desperately."
Seeing this look, Ye Ying became anxious. The biggest problem for these bandits was that they did not dare to take action on the battlefield. That day, when I faced them, more than a dozen people knelt down and surrendered to me. It was because they did not have the courage to fight the enemy.
"The winner can each eat one or two pieces of meat today. If he loses, the meal will be halved." Ye Ying's two sentences finally made the bandits more active.
The fighting continued. Although all the bandits were restrained and fighting, there were always times when they couldn't control themselves. Some people kept getting hit and were beaten until they were grinning.
"Good fight, that's it. When we encounter the enemy on the battlefield, we fight with the word ruthlessness." At this time, the injured person thought that the boss would blame those who hit too hard, but he asked the "violator" praise.
As the saying goes, clay figures have a certain amount of anger. In this way, the injured person will have emotions in their hearts, and their attacks will become heavier. Not only will some people be hit by sticks, but the fight will become much more intense.
Ye Ying stood in the crowd, constantly pointing out everyone's actions and stopping them if they went too far. After several hours of battle training, many of the bandits were exhausted. What's more important is that almost everyone suffered injuries. Although there was no bloody head or blood, simple bruises, redness and swelling were unavoidable.
When it was time to eat, Ye Ying fulfilled his promise and took out the only two pieces of meat left in the village and rewarded them to those who performed well in training. Seeing the victors eating happily, the eyes of those who could only eat half of their meals turned green.
In the subsequent training, everyone worked hard. Ye Ying was very happy with the results. Whether it was to eat something or to make himself stronger, at least there was some effect.
"Twenty-four wrestling formulas: diagonal strike, elbow ring, elbow lock, hook, forward kick, forward kick, forward and backward kick, forward and backward kick. After encountering the enemy, you have to choose the most reasonable method. , pin them down." Ye Ying patiently explained to everyone and even demonstrated with his own hands, but what he saw was the confused look in everyone's eyes.
"Who dares to be the first to come up and accept the challenge from others." After explaining the basics, Ye Ying looked at everyone present. But what disappointed him was that everyone remained silent and kept their heads down tightly, for fear of being called out by Ye Ying.
"I'll do it!" After a long time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy finally stepped forward, which aroused laughter from everyone present because he was almost the thinnest one in the crowd.
"I announce that Kudzu Gen is the leader of our first five-man team, that is, the captain in the army. When we have money and food after our village is over, the leader will receive more than ordinary people. "Ye Ying's words made all the laughter stop, and everyone got envious looks in return.
With this episode, everyone finally became active. Everyone came on stage one after another and had a wrestling competition on the empty dam. In the end, the young man named Ge Niu'er became the strongest among the people by virtue of his youth and physical strength, and he naturally obtained the position of corps commander.
Next, Ye Ying successively confirmed the positions of the five corps commanders. Every time he announced an appointment, he would tell everyone the reasons for choosing that person. Some are because of courage, some are because of strength, and some are because of the spirit of not admitting defeat. These are the things Ye Ying wants to instill in everyone.
However, the fighting power of these bandits was indeed too weak. Ye Ying could only choose a few leaders from among the gangsters. Later, when he couldn't choose anyone, he asked the second leader Ge Shun to temporarily replace him. The corps commander of Wu.
"Normally, we are brothers in the village, but once we go to the battlefield, we are warriors, and the most important thing for a warrior is to obey orders. Now I announce a rule. No matter whether you think highly of the leader I selected, but for him All orders given must be carried out unconditionally, and I will show no mercy to those who violate them." In order to establish prestige for several corps commanders, Ye Ying acted as a villain with a dark face.
By dividing more than twenty bandits into five teams, simple formation training can be carried out. Although the effect is not very good, Ye Ying needs to tell everyone in this way that he understands the importance of the team.
"I'll start with the ugly words first. Anyone who goes to the battlefield and dares not to charge bravely, disobeys orders, or even escapes from battle will be punished. It can range from a whipping, a few days of starvation, or a few days of confinement. In serious cases, They will be beheaded. The reason why the Fierce Eagle Army was so strong back then was because of strict military orders. In order for our village to be stronger and no longer bullied by others, we must set good rules." Ye Ying's decisive words finally came to light. It made everyone's eyes look dignified.
Three or four days of training did not have an immediate effect on improving combat effectiveness, but at last the prototype of an army was formed. But if we want everyone to grow, actual combat is the most important thing.
In the army, it takes several months, even half a year or a year, to train new recruits to the point where they are ready to go to the battlefield. However, the current cottage does not have such sufficient time, because one thing is urgent, and that is the problem of food.
When all the men, women, old and children in the village saw the empty bags and empty barrels placed on the open ground, everyone's eyes were full of doubts.
When they learned that these bags and barrels were the tools used to carry food, the village had run out of food. Everyone is a little anxious. Everyone has experienced hunger, and it is a very painful thing.
"Everyone has seen that there is no food in our village, so in this operation, we can only win but not fail."
Ye Ying pointed to the empty bags and barrels and said sternly to everyone present. Almost everyone knew about the shortage of food in the village, but such a direct method made everyone's sense of urgency stronger.
Watching the team disappear into the mountain road, the eyes of the dozen old people and children staying in the village were full of reluctance. Although the leader did not know what he was going to do this time, it was not difficult to tell from his words and deeds that this time The action is quite dangerous.
Wanglong Mountain is a peak located at the junction of Beiman and Daning. There are several simple wooden houses near the top of the mountain. Due to the high location, it is inconvenient to get water here, so it is difficult for many people to understand why. Build a house in this place?
This is neither a Taoist temple nor a temple, nor is it a place where experts live in seclusion. It is just a small observation post for the northern barbarians.
The view here is wide, and you can even see dozens of miles away. Once there is any trouble with the army in Daning, it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the northern barbarian soldiers here.
Below this observation post is the Northern Barbarian military camp, where tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian soldiers are stationed. Once the soldiers at the observation post are attacked, the Northern Barbarians in the military camp will only need more than an hour to get here.
This small outpost has been established for more than ten years, but it has never been attacked. But this is normal. Over the years, Daning's army has rarely taken the initiative to attack the Northern Barbarians, and the bandits in the mountains dare not take the risk to provoke the Northern Barbarians' army, which is known for its ferocity.
But today, Ye Ying came here with the gangsters from the Flying Eagle Society. This was a decision made by Ye Ying, Ge Shun, Ge Yuncai and others after long discussions.
There are two main reasons for choosing this place. It is relatively far away from Flying Eagle. Once the thing is done, it will not be easy for the northern barbarians to suspect that Flying Eagle did it. Another reason is that the safety of the Northern Barbarian soldiers here has been neglected for a long time.
But choosing to attack here is actually a very dangerous thing. Let’s not talk about the strength of the entire Feiyinghui village, which is actually much weaker than the guards at this northern barbarian outpost. More importantly, once discovered by the military camp at the foot of the mountain, the entire team will most likely be destroyed.
This time, Ye Ying brought not only the combat power of the Flying Eagle Society. And bring almost everyone who can move with them, because if it succeeds, everyone will need to move all the useful materials here back.
Therefore, this is an action that can only win but cannot fail. Once it fails, Flying Eagle will cease to exist.
In order not to be discovered by the enemy, everyone walked through the mountain roads in the lofty mountains at night. These mountain roads were difficult to walk. However, it is not a problem for these bandits who often walk in the mountains.
It has been a while since everyone came here, but everyone just stayed quietly on the hillside, quietly observing the movements of the observation post below.
He had received news in advance that a mile of North Gate soldiers were stationed here, but in order to prevent accidents, Ye Ying decided to observe clearly before talking.
Soon after dawn, there was movement in the post below. Soldiers came out of their residences one after another. After gathering in the open space next to the post, they began their daily necessary work and conducted morning exercises.
More than twenty Northern Barbarian soldiers stood neatly in the open space. Under the command of a small leader, they first ran in circles for a while, and then began training with weapons.
"Have you seen that the reason why these Northern Barbarians are so powerful in battle is inseparable from their daily persistence in training. So when you have the opportunity, tell your men that if you want to survive in a war, Just make yourself stronger.”
Looking at the number of Northern Barbarian soldiers below, Ye Ying felt that the pressure in his heart was much relieved, as was the news he had received before, and he took the opportunity to start ideologically educating the few little leaders around him.
