Chapter 30: The Scenery Beyond the Great Wall
With the reward of Qi and Blood Pill, all the sergeants' enthusiasm for training was stimulated.
Even Chen Feng, the ninth-level warrior master, became more active.
It turned out that he still claimed that he had combat experience, and looked down upon Ying Wubing, who was leading troops for the first time. But as soon as this reward policy came out, he immediately became more obedient and cooperative.
This also made Ying Wuyi's job of leading troops much easier.
Just paying the price of dozens of taels of gold, he got such a result, which made Ying Wuyi very satisfied.
By the time the army arrived at Yanmen County, the sergeants in Ying Wubing's squadron had all broken through to the second level of the Warrior Realm, and even a few of them had reached the third level of the Warrior Realm.
Chen Feng, the captain of the first team, actually broke through to the tenth level of the warrior realm in one fell swoop.
Ying Wubing was so happy that in order to win people's hearts, he was very generous and rewarded him with three Qi and Blood Pills.
Chen Feng's expression also showed that this warrior with a military background would not dare to say that he would retaliate with death, but he would definitely support him with the help of a healthy horse.
The team walked on the endless grassland, and only at the far end of the horizon could they vaguely see the rolling mountains.
Although it is still within the pass, there is very little cultivated land here. Sparse white yurts are scattered on the grassland.
Ying Wubing had never been to the prairie in his previous life, and this was the first time he saw this scenery.
I suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and the depression of being away from my family suddenly dissipated a lot.
Many people in the team saw this kind of scenery for the first time, and they were excited and pointed along the way.
After walking on the grassland for more than ten days, we finally arrived at Yanmen Pass in Yanmen County, the largest city in the north.
There were still dozens of kilometers away from Yanmen Pass, and we could already see the tall city in the distance.
The city was built between two mountains, which just blocked the passage from outside the Great Wall into the Central Plains. If Yanmen Pass could not be conquered, the pass would have to be entered from Jincheng County in the northwest.
From Yanmen Pass to the west, there are mountains with a height of more than a thousand meters. The mountains are steep and rolling.
It is very difficult for warriors in the martial arts realm to climb, let alone ordinary soldiers. As for large-scale armies, it is even impossible to pass.
When the team arrived at Yanmen Pass, everyone was shocked by the hundred-foot-high city wall. Standing under the city wall and looking up at the soldiers on the wall, they were like little people.
"My dear, such a high city wall is at least three times higher than the city wall in the capital!"
Sun Deyuan from the third team couldn't help but sigh as he made a dirty sound. The others all nodded in agreement.
Ying Wubing's army, which came from the capital, was not allowed to enter Yanmen Pass. They could only set up camp ten miles away from Guancheng.
When we come to Yanmen Pass, we need to put in a card first.
"System, sign in."
Ying Wubing said silently in his heart.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you successfully signed in at Yanmenguan City and received the reward of far-sightedness."
The system's beep sounded in my heart.
As a reward for far-sightedness, Ying Wuyi was a little curious about the rewards of the system. He raised his head and looked at the city wall, almost startling him.
The faces of the soldiers on duty on the city wall, which were originally blurry, suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were clearly visible.
Even the military flags flying on the city wall and the words written on them can be clearly seen.
Ying Wubing looked at both sides of the city wall again. There were soldiers standing guard on the city wall, and there was a sentry every ten meters or so.
Ying Wubing counted them one by one until he reached around the 500th number, and then it started to become blurry.
It seems that with my farsightedness, I can clearly see faces within five kilometers.
Ying Wubing vaguely knew that a normal person's vision would become blurry if it exceeded one hundred meters.
My eyesight suddenly improved fifty-fold. In a place with a wide field of vision like the prairie, the far-sightedness function couldn't be more practical.
Simple tents were quickly erected one after another. The curl of smoke rose from the middle of the tents.
There was an endless stream of soldiers coming and going between Yanmen Pass and the camp.
The next morning, the military order from superiors was conveyed. The team coming from the capital was reorganized into the Black Dragon Army reserve team.
The superiors required that every soldier must first learn to ride a horse. If he was fighting on the grasslands outside the Great Wall, he would not even be qualified to go to the battlefield if he did not know how to ride a horse.
Soon, a large number of war horses were sent from Yanmen Pass.
Ying Wubing's impression of horseback riding still remained in Blue Star, when he was sitting on a horse and being led by a horse trainer in front of him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to learn horse riding from scratch.
Bu Geng, who leads Ying Wu Bing's squadron, is called Chen Wu You, and he is an officer from the Black Dragon Army.
Ying Wubing once had a chance encounter when he was participating in a military rank challenge at the Fifth Army Supervisory Mansion in Beijing.
Chen Wuyou knew that Ying Wuyi was very strong and was very polite to him along the way.
Ying Wubing learned to ride horses under Chen Wuyou's personal guidance.
"Wu Bian, you learn very quickly, I don't even need to teach you anymore! You just need to practice a few more times and you'll be good to go!"
"Thank you, Commander Wuyou, for your careful teaching!" Ying Wubing gave Chen Wuyou a military salute.
Chen Wuyou originally called Ying Wubing the 122nd Prince, but at Ying Wubing's insistence, he had to change his name.
Since you are in the military, you must abide by military rules.
Ying Wubing has spiritual consciousness in his body. When he gets close to a horse, he can use his spiritual consciousness to sense the horse's emotions. Sometimes he can even get a simple response from the horse.
Therefore, it only took Ying Wubing about ten days to be able to gallop.
If you don't know the details, you might think that Ying Wubing is already an old knight who has been riding horses for many years.
The other soldiers could only trot on their horses.
However, Ying Wubing discovered that because the soldiers in this world all have martial arts skills, it is very easy to learn to ride a horse.
When I studied history in the past, I often talked about how a cavalry team must train for at least half a year if it wants to be able to fight.
However, Ying Wubing estimated that it would only take more than a month at most for his cavalry team to form preliminary combat effectiveness.
Time passed day by day, and it soon entered April.
Ying Wubing and the others have been training at Yanmen Pass for more than a month. The neatly arranged cavalry team changes formation from time to time under the command of the sound of gongs, drums and horns.
If you can watch the wild goose formation, front arrow formation, and fish scale formation from a high altitude, you can clearly see the smooth changes in the formation.
Ying Wubing rode a yellow war horse that was the same as the other soldiers, following the large army, sometimes advancing and sometimes retreating.
In this kind of large cavalry battle, individual force cannot affect the progress of the battle at all.
You just need to follow your teammates and charge together. If you fantasize about personal heroism and charge indiscriminately, it will disrupt the formation.
This kind of legion combat requires strict discipline, a unified sense of unity, and strong execution.
