After dinner, the five thousand households of the Dongcheng Guards came to the Chinese army's tent in the middle of the camp with an uneasy mood.
Xiao Shizhu suddenly summoned them, leaving them at a loss. At the same time, they didn't know what this cruel pretty boy was going to do. They couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.
At this time, Tian Kuixing, who had eaten enough, was squatting at the door of the big tent, raising his hind legs and kicking his ears. King Kong stood aside, quietly looking at the five thousand households.
"General Xiao has been waiting for you for a long time." King Kong said to the five thousand households when they saw them coming to the door. As soon as he said the words, the five thousand households trembled slightly. Apparently, Xiao Shizhu had killed the chicken to scare the monkeys earlier.
It's somewhat useful.
Five thousand households followed King Kong to the tent, and saw that a sand table had been set up in the tent. Yingzhao Tulu and Qinyuan were both there. Xiao Shizhu, on the other hand, was sitting deep in the tent, with a table covered with tiger skin.
On the chair, he stood concentrating on the book in his hand.
On his lower right is the "Complete Geographic Map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld", while on the lower left is his armor. On the long table behind him, there is a sword holder with a three-foot long sword on it.
The handle is engraved with a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl, and the scabbard has a pattern of nine phoenixes soaring into the sky.
As soon as the five thousand households saw this sword, they knew why Xiao Shizhu dared to kill Hu Lai. The sword was one of the nine swords secretly hidden by the ghost mother, named Mie Yue. It was rumored that there were many crescent swords on this sword.
It got its name from the pattern. What's more powerful is that it has the same effect as the ancient Shangfang sword in the human world. Seeing this sword is like seeing a ghost mother.
But what they didn't know was that the Ghost Mother ordered it to be sent to her after Xiao Shizhu killed Hu Lai. Along with the sword came a message from the Ghost Mother: "May this sword follow you to kill the enemy."
Even if your blood splatters three feet, you don’t want it to never come out of its sheath.”
Xiao Shizhu is so smart. After hearing this, he knew that the Ghost Mother had another meaning, which was: It doesn't matter if you kill my old minister, but if you don't win this battle, you can kill yourself with this sword.
Therefore, he did not dare to neglect and quickly called Qianhu to convey the training indicators before the expedition.
"General Xiao!" Five thousand households stood in the middle of the big tent, lined up facing Xiao Shizhu, and all saluted with their hands raised.
"Here we come." Xiao Shizhu raised his head and glanced at their nervous expressions, then threw away the book in his hand, stood up, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be nervous, just relax. I asked you to come, just to prepare for the expedition.
, train the soldiers well.”.
"I took a look this afternoon. Most of our Dongcheng Guard soldiers are good at close combat. Even those who know how to use shooting weapons mostly use bows and crossbows, which is not good." Xiao Shizhu walked to them and stood still, looking from their faces.
After scanning them one by one, he said: "And the wise and powerful Ghost Mother has allocated a lot of firearms to us. During the period before the expedition, you and Tulu should learn how to use them. I don't ask you to do it before the expedition.
At that time, I was a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy, but at least from a distance of one hundred feet, I had to make sure every shot was missed."
"Yes, General." Just after he finished speaking, the five thousand households shouted in unison.
"In addition, I have formulated a training plan. From now on, you will train physical fitness, close combat, etc. every morning in the morning. Using a reward and punishment style, two sergeants of similar physiques will fight in a group. The winner will be given five copper coins, and the loser will be given five copper coins.
Give two army sticks." After Xiao Shizhu recalled a little, he went through the training plan he had drawn up in his mind one by one: "Then according to age, stature, and physical strength, different training plans will be given to them.
Weapons. The young and nimble ones are given shields, the young, strong and mature ones are given wolf swords, the brave and strong men are given spears, and the others are given short weapons such as forks, rakes, sticks, and knives. Soldiers do not only perform individual martial arts.
Training and camp coaching are also required to achieve the unity of individual and collective fighting. For this, I hired a good teacher for you, Yingzhao." After finishing speaking, he waved to Yingzhao who was standing by the sand table.
.
Upon seeing this, Yingzhao walked over quickly, stood beside him, and said: "Brother." The five thousand households were immediately dumbfounded, just like King Kong and the others when they first saw Yingzhao.
He froze in place.
"Yingzhao, I believe you all know that he was once the captain of the escort team of the ancient gods, and his actual combat experience is as good as yours. And in terms of tactical experience, he is more than enough to be your teacher." Xiao Shizhu raised his right index finger, shook it,
Said: "I only have one request. During training, soldiers must wear heavy armor and carry heavy objects to practice physical strength; the equipment used must be heavier than the weapons used in battle to practice hand strength."
Then, Xiao Shizhu solemnly warned: "In wartime, eleven sergeants form a team, with the captain at the front. One of the two holds a long card and the other holds a shield. The long card hand holds a long shield to block the enemy's arrows.
Arrows, spears, and rattan players hold lightweight rattan shields with javelins and waist knives. The long card player and rattan player mainly cover the advancement of the rear team. In addition to covering, the rattan player can also engage in close combat with the enemy. The other two are the wolf swordsmen holding wolf swords.
, use the sharp blade at the front of the wolf to assassinate the enemy to cover the advancement of the shield bearers and the attack of the spearmen behind. Then there are four gunmen holding muskets, two on each side, taking care of the shield bearers and wolf harriers on the left and right in front, respectively.
The enemy shoots from a long distance. Two soldiers holding boring palladiums follow up to serve as guard and support. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short-hand soldiers rush forward with short knives to kill the enemy. Various weapons must have a clear division of labor. Each weapon must have a clear division of labor.
A sergeant must not only be proficient in the operation of his own weapon, but also must be able to use other weapons. The key to effectively killing the enemy lies in overall cooperation and the execution of orders and prohibitions."
"Yes." The five thousand households responded again, and then the leading one asked after thinking for a while: "I have been waiting in the underworld for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen the general's military training method like this.
, I wonder where it comes from?”.
"This is the military training method and the mandarin duck formation that I created in the world back then." Xiao Shizhu said proudly. In fact, he just took advantage of the loopholes in the reincarnation system and shamelessly took Qi Jiguang's military training method as his own.
It was just an improvement. But he immediately won the admiration of the five thousand households. They suddenly said "Oh!" and looked at Xiao Shizhu in awe. They said: "It turns out that the general is also the same in the world.
The one who leads the troops."
"That's right! I think back then, when you, Mr. Xiao, and I led three thousand people into the enemy camp at night, it was so majestic." The shameless Xiao Shizhu said without thinking. Then after a pause, he stood in Qianhu
He paced in front of them and continued: "Okay, let's get down to business. Every afternoon you and Tulu will take the soldiers to the port and board the warship; practice gun shooting skills and accuracy at sea. Remember one thing
, This is a naval battle, so during some shooting exercises, warships must be moved out of the harbor so that the soldiers can learn to shoot stably despite the bumps of wind and waves."
As soon as these words came out, the five thousand households were slightly startled, and then they all said in unison: "Ah?"
"Ah what?" Xiao Shizhu scolded.
"The general doesn't know something. The nearest military port is fifteen miles away, and a round trip is thirty miles away." One of the thousand households, after feeling brave, said, "Why don't we exhaust the soldiers to death?"
"You're the only one who talks too much." Xiao Shizhu saw the leader Qianhu speaking again, so he glared at him and said, "What's wrong with Sanli? I'm just here to give you some physical training."
After thinking for a while, he added: "You just practice, I will let the cooks kill chickens and sheep every day, and when you return to camp in the evening, I will give you a good nutritional supplement."
After hearing this, the five thousand households turned from sadness to joy. After laughing, they shouted in unison: "Yes!".
Xiao Shizhu waved his hand to indicate that they could go down to rest, then turned to Qin Yuan and said: "Let's go, take King Kong and Tian Kuixing with us." After saying that, he walked to the depths of the tent and picked up the sword. He took the sword.
It sank, and then he cursed in a low voice: "Does a sword have to be so heavy?".
"Brother, where are you going when it's dark?" A trace of worry flashed across Yingzhao's face, and he asked quickly: "Shall I go with you?".
"Go to Yuren Village. You don't have to follow me. Let's train well." After saying that, he picked up his sword and strode out of the tent.
"Follow closely, don't make any mistakes." Yingzhao warned Qin Yuan, and then winked at him, indicating that he should follow quickly. Qin Yuan responded and said: "Don't worry, second master."
Then he chased him out.
Xiao Shizhu and Jingang Qinyuan took Tian Kuixing out of the camp gate and headed south in the right direction.
The purpose of visiting Featherman Village is to form an air force; Feathermen, also known as Feathermen, are a kind of demon soul that is humanoid but has a long head like a bird, its body is covered with feathers, and it has the ability to fly. But
He is kind-hearted by nature and always keeps aloof from the world.
What's more important is that the place where they once lived was the pirate base camp of Wuzhiqi today, and they are more familiar with the terrain there.
And back then, it was Wu Zhiqi who drove them off the island, and then the Ghost Mother took in their survivors and gave them a mountain of land to settle down in the Ghost Mother's country.
From then on, these feathered people made a living by growing tea in the ghost motherland. Gradually, their tea became famous in the underworld, because once brewed, the soup has a bright green color, a long-lasting tender fragrance, a fresh and mellow taste, and is delicious after tasting.
Popular for its lingering fragrance.
To this day, a pound of Yumin Yunwu tea has been bought at a high price as a piece of gold. But Xiao Shizhu obviously does not want them to just be a group of peaceful tea farmers. He needs the ability of the Yumin to fly to complete the formation of his air force.
Just as Xiao Shizhu quickened his pace and headed towards Yuren Village, a dark figure also followed him out of the Dongcheng Guards' camp and headed towards Xiaoyushan City in the dark.
This spirit entered Xiaoyushan City when the city gate was about to close. Then it arrived outside the Ghost Mother Palace on the top of the mountain, and in front of a small courtyard with the two characters "Qiu Mansion" hanging on the gate.
Then, taking advantage of the darkness of the night when no one was around, he scaled the wall and entered the house.
At this time, there was not a single servant in the main hall of the mansion. Only Qiu Shuang, a ghost, sat alone on a high chair in the middle, looking at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard outside the house that were constantly changing with the night wind in the night.
.
Qiu Shuang was very distressed at this time; in the morning, she was publicly contradicted by Xiao Shizhu, a small official, but she didn't expect that she would have to work for this small official and become a supervisor with no real power. She was used to being a high-ranking official, and she was used to it.
She was praised by everyone, and from the moment she learned about this to the present day, she always felt panicked.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the hall from outside the door. Although the wind was not strong, it instantly blew out all the lights in the room. The entire main hall was immediately plunged into darkness.
"Lord Qiu Shuang." Before Qiu Shuang could call the servant, a dark figure stood at the door and said to her: "If I were you, I wouldn't shout."
Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, but then she calmed down. After concentrating for a while, she realized that the darkness surrounding her was extraordinary. Even though she couldn't see her fingers, she could clearly see the outline of the black figure at the door, so she frowned and said: "
Barrier? Are you a demon soul?".
"It doesn't matter what kind of soul I am, what's important is that I want to negotiate a condition with you. Our Mo family needs you to do a little favor. If successful, Master Ju promises that you can become the first of the four female officials in the ghost motherland, and the best among all ghosts.
Above ten thousand ghosts." The black shadow said slowly. The other person's voice was rich and he was obviously a man.
"What?" Qiu Shuang still stared at the black figure warily.
"No matter whether Xiao Shizhu is defeated or not, kill him. As a supervisor, you are also a female ghost. It is easy for the lecherous Xiao Shizhu to relax his vigilance in front of you. This is what we need your help with. It is simple and useless.
Risk." The black shadow laughed evilly and said: "We will help you defeat Chun Yun and Xia Xing later, and you will be the leader of the ghost mother country's officials. Think about it, Lord Qiu Shuang." After finishing his words, Qiu Shuang did not wait.
After asking, the surrounding darkness gradually dispersed like an ebbing tide, and the black shadow disappeared.
But at the threshold, which was originally empty, there was now a packet of medicine.
