Chapter 969 Training
Nanao Island is flat, with the widest part of the north and south being about fourteen miles, and spanning forty miles from east to west. However, if you climb 6 from Houjiangwan in the northwest, the east and west span is actually only thirty miles. More than ten miles are actually considered to be deep into the hinterland. I have to say that you are too brave.
Chen Xi was about to scold him, but suddenly remembered that the purpose of this battle was to train troops. Since there were troops going deep, they would treat them as scouts and just conduct field training. They were looking for food in the wilderness without taking the tent. They would sleep in the wilderness. They would train their anti-reconnaissance ability in the dark to see how many people could survive tomorrow.
After the sky was completely dark, 600 households withdrew. Chen Xi sent people to summarize and learned that today's battle seemed to be very thunderous, but the final raindrops were pitifully small.
In a day, twenty-nine enemies were killed and forty-two were captured. As for the goods, the goods were basically not seized. This is why hundreds of households continued to go deeper because they were unwilling to return empty-handed.
He went to the expedition of twenty-eight hundred-house camps, and twenty-five back, and three hundred-house camps went deep into the hinterland and did not return. I don’t know what the situation is.
No one died in the twenty-five hundred-household battalions who came back, but six were injured, one of whom was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the other five fell into a trap and fell down a cliff stream and were injured. To put it bluntly, they were not familiar with the terrain on the island. As for the twenty-nine people killed and forty-two captured on the battlefield, only thirteen machetes were seized, and there were no decent weapons at all.
Whether it was the process or the result, Chen Xi was very dissatisfied. He originally had the purpose of training troops, but the soldiers were not trained, and the whole situation was a mess.
After the officers and soldiers went to the island, they turned around like headless flies, asked him what he had seen, and spread his hands with dark eyes and used silence to show his attitude.
Even if there are people who are good at speaking, they will just stammer and say things like "The road is not easy to walk" when asked, making Chen Xi really want to teach these idiots a lesson by punching and kicking.
However, Chen Xi did not do anything randomly, so he first reflected on himself.
No matter how good the plan is, it requires appropriate methods to guide the officers and soldiers to learn and apply it in actual combat. We cannot just blame it. It is not easy to be able to return in an immortal way. At least it is much better than the result of "annihilation" as he expected. The fight against the island's bandits on the first day was not fierce. As for the location and general layout of the thief village near the northwest shore of the island, it has been investigated clearly, and intelligence collection is also the result of the day.
Chenxi issued a notice to strictly prevent the thief army from attacking in the middle of the night, formulated a patrol plan and arranged a special person to take charge, and then returned to the central army's tent and prepared to have a good sleep so that they could have enough energy to deal with tomorrow's war.

...
Just as Chen Xi was working hard to eliminate the bandits along the coast in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao in the Forbidden City in the capital was like a bird in a cage, living a depressed life every day, wishing she could put on her wings and fly out of the palace.
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to find Chen Xi so urgently. He just wanted to go to the outside world to see it. At least he didn't have to attend classes every day. Every time he saw his father and mother, he was scolded and scolded.
After the disappearance incident, the naughty child had a lot of complaints about his father and mother, and he couldn't extricate himself.
"Eunuch Zhang, say, are you telling your mother about the news that I am leaving the palace?" This day, the injury on Zhang Yuan's butt was healed, and Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yuan with a big temper.
