Because the terrain had been surveyed beforehand, Qinchuan drew up a detailed attack map.
His goal is very simple. Every time he goes to a place, he will first kill the castle owner in this area, and then continue to attack the next target.
According to Qin Chuan, the goal of this battle was not to occupy much territory, but to destroy the foundation of Tubo's rule in the east.
Qin Chuan named this tactic the Leapfrog Tactics. His goal was to fight all the way to Tianqian City and steal Shang Qixin'er's home!
For this tactic, Qin Chuan made a detailed plan, calculated all routes many times, and finally formulated the safest route.
Zhang Nan's attribute points were not high and he was assigned to the new military camp.
Most of the players here are like Zhang Nan, who only entered the game after nine or ten tests. They all joined Qin Chuan's army with the mentality of trying to turn their bicycles into motorcycles.
Because Liu Qingyang is a woman, she was assigned to the wounded soldiers camp and was responsible for treating wounded soldiers.
The two separated in this way and began their recruit training separately.
The person in charge of training the new army camp is a general player under Qin Chuan, his name is Ma Xin.
Ma Xin is a war game enthusiast, an avid military fan, and a German soldier.
Ma Xin made a big-brimmed hat by herself, and had someone make a set of German military uniforms. She even made a pair of black leather boots, and then stepped into the recruit camp.
Seeing Ma Xin's coquettish appearance also dispelled some of the tense atmosphere in the recruit camp.
Ma Xin looked at the new recruits and said: "Our operation this time is very dangerous. We have to cross a long wasteland and attack the enemy's lair. If you regret it now, you can withdraw!"
Zhang Nan looked at his comrades around him and saw that there was no chance to quit now.
All his wealth had been exchanged for supplies and brought to Dangjin Mountain Pass. Now he had no choice but to participate in Qinchuan's plan.
The same is true for the surrounding players. These are the players who entered the game later in the test. The players who entered the game first have accumulated considerable advantages. Players who entered later need to take risks if they want to catch up with the players in front.
Qinchuan's expedition has pinned the hope of new players to catch up with old players.
Ma Xin, wearing a Prussian blue military uniform, looked at these thin recruits and said:
"Actually, I am also a new player who only entered the game after the seventh beta. For this plan, I also spent all the money I accumulated in the game."
"Datang Fengyun is a fair game. You think veteran players have an advantage, but when the first test players entered the game, King Jianning didn't even capture Shazhou City."
"Veteran players also fought hard battles one after another to achieve their current status."
"And for us new players, fighting is the best opportunity to catch up with the old players!"
"If we talk about hardship, before the Datiexia Iron Works was built, the veteran players didn't have enough weapons!"
“Our novice period is already much easier than that for experienced players!”
Ma Xin changed the subject and said: "Everyone chooses to come to Dangjin Pass because they think there are opportunities here, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Ma Xin added: "Opportunities are created by everyone working together! The success or failure of Operation Frog Leap depends on everyone's efforts!"
"If you win this battle, everyone will soon be able to catch up with the old players' level, and you will also get a lot of contribution points!"
"What are we? We are the fourth natural disaster! Let these guys see the power of the fourth natural disaster!"
Zhang Nan also cheered along with his companions.
When everyone finished cheering, Ma Xin made a gesture and said:
"The new recruits must upgrade their [Wild Survival] skills to the proficiency level before going off to war. Now we start the wilderness survival training."
Next, in the camp at Jinshan Pass, rounds of devil training began.
Even Liu Qingyang, who was assigned to the wounded barracks, was pulled out for several days of wilderness survival training.
Today was another hard day of training. Zhang Nan dragged his exhausted body back to the military camp. He was surprised to receive a prompt from the system.
[After training, your endurance attribute will increase a little! Current endurance: 6 points.]
It actually improved my endurance a little!
Sure enough, as mentioned on the forum, training in the game can improve attributes!
Endurance is the easiest attribute to improve. You only need to carry out corresponding endurance training to improve it.
After a day of wilderness survival training today, Zhang Nan's physical strength has reached its limit, and as expected, his endurance attribute has improved.
"I've gained a little more stamina!"
"Me too!"
"Why didn't I get better? Did I not train hard enough today?"
"Nonsense, I saw you fishing under the shade of the trees today, you'll be damned if it goes up!"
"No, no, I must practice hard tomorrow!"
You made the right choice indeed! The military camp is indeed a place where you can quickly improve yourself!
At this time, the bugle sounded, and Zhang Nan immediately climbed into bed.
If it were such a military training in the real world, he would have collapsed long ago.
But when he saw a little improvement in his endurance attributes, Zhang Nan felt extremely satisfied!
This is an attribute point!
Nowadays, he does not have the luxury to exchange contribution points for attribute points!
The more attributes you have, the greater your chances of saving your life in future battles!
Zhang Nan immediately chose to hang up and rest, looking forward to the next day's training.
In the early morning of the second day in the game, Ma Xin appeared outside the barracks on time, wearing his sexy German Second Army uniform.
"Blow the wake-up call!"
After the rapid horn sound, the players who had already come online jumped out of bed and rushed to the playground.
Ma Xin turned on the timer, and when it reached zero, he said to the late players: "The late players should run around the playground ten times."
Those players who were late went to run laps obediently, and Ma Xin began to lay out today's training plan.
"If we don't do it today, we're going to do throwing drills."
Only seeing two baskets of stones brought up, Ma Xin pointed at the stones and said: "This morning's training is to throw these stones as far as possible. After one team has finished throwing, they will run over and throw the stones away."
Pick it up and then put it in line and stand by."
"As everyone knows, there are not many players in our new army who are good at archery. Even if there were, we wouldn't be able to bring too many bows and arrows."
"Of course we can't afford grenades, so we can only rely on throwing Molotov cocktails."
"You will do throwing training in the morning, and I will teach you how to make Molotov cocktails in the afternoon."
Next came several days of hard training. Although Zhang Nan was exhausted to death, he also gained a lot.
After three days of weight-bearing training, my strength attributes finally increased a bit.
Zhang Nan's [Throwing] skill has also reached the proficiency level, and he has also learned the [Making Molotov cocktail] skill. Although it is only an entry-level skill, he can already make usable Molotov cocktails.
Naturally, the most trained thing in the recruit camp is wilderness survival skills.
According to the description of Battalion Commander Ma Xin, the altitude of Tubo East Road is relatively high and it is a typical wasteland terrain.
When fighting in the wilderness, wilderness survival skills are very important.
Sometimes when fighting in the wilderness, the biggest enemy is nature rather than the Tubo people.
The only good thing is that Tang Dynasty's Dog Plan has finally launched a map system. Players can locate themselves through the electronic map built into the game. Otherwise, I don't know how many players would be lost in the wasteland.
However, having an electronic map alone is not enough. Players must also learn a series of skills such as finding food, finding water sources, and lurking.
Only by learning these skills can you survive if you get lost or left behind in the wilderness.
Training during the day and classes at night, Zhang Nan felt that military training in college had never been so hard.
But seeing the [Wild Survival] skill upgraded to the master level, Zhang Nan felt that all the efforts were worth it.
You must know that in Shazhou City, finding a wilderness survival training camp and spending 50 yuan will not guarantee that you will be promoted to the proficiency level.
But in the recruit camp, Ma Xin taught him the knowledge of survival in the wilderness step by step, and he could also conduct practical training in the wilderness, so his skill level improved quickly.
Now Zhang Nan's attributes and skills are almost the same as those of general players who took five and six tests.
Sure enough, suffering is the best way to improve yourself!
Zhang Nan even started to look forward to tomorrow's training.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Nan did not wait for the training the next day, but instead waited for the news of the expedition.
"What? Going to war tomorrow?"
Zhang Nan looked at his comrades who were also shocked, then looked at Ma Xin and asked.
Ma Xin said: "The latest news is that Yu Chixin's army under Wuwei City has defeated the Tibetan vanguard. Now the Tubo soldiers are marching outside the Qilian Mountains, and we must move out."
Zhang Nan was a little disappointed. He had a vague feeling recently that his endurance attribute had reached the critical level and he could break through it as long as he trained for a few more days.
However, Zhang Nan also knew that opportunities on the battlefield were fleeting.
Now the Tubo and Hexi Tang armies are facing each other in the Qilian Mountains. If Dangjinshan Pass is not dispatched, and if the Tubo army on the Qilian Mountains fails and retreats to Tianqian City, then the Tang army on the Dangjinshan Pass will have no chance.
After comprehensive judgment, Qin Chuan decided to send troops immediately.
Qin Chuan was personally harnessing the mules and horses to the carriage, and the carriage was full of grain that Qin Chuan had collected during this period.
After checking the supplies again, Qin Chuan mounted his horse, pointed to the wasteland to the east and said, "Let's go!"
The new army battalion where Zhang Nan was located was immediately upgraded to the First Battalion of the New Army, and Ma Xin also served as the battalion commander of the First Battalion.
Because of Zhang Nan's outstanding performance in training, he was appointed as the combat platoon leader of the first battalion, and he was also in charge of a platoon of twenty people.
Since it was an army composed of all players, Qin Chuan simply started from scratch and completely applied the organization of the army in the real world.
The entire New Army consists of 1,000 people, with the main force being Ma Xin's First Battalion of the New Army and the Second Battalion of the New Army, which is responsible for logistics.
Qin Chuan also spent all his money for this expedition. He used his own money to form a cavalry company of thirty people, and even used his contribution points to buy two obsolete cannons from Shazhou.
This new army of thousands of people was thrown into the vast desert, and another group of sneaky guys also set out from Tianqian City and headed west towards the direction of the new army.
