Lei Xingkong sat quietly for a while, and the sky gradually became brighter.
The soldiers at the outpost stood up and walked out of the shed in twos and threes, preparing for drills.
After yesterday's battle, they admired Lei Xingkong even more. When they saw Lei Xingkong, they all saluted and greeted him.
After Lei Xingkong asked about their injuries, he thought about it and said to the three team captains: "We just fought against Barbarian Dog yesterday. The brothers are all injured. We won't practice today. Let's rest."
!”
Xie Jin, the old corps leader, didn't say anything. Li Dahai thought for a while and said, "Sir, the injuries of the brothers are not serious. It would be good to stretch a little to prevent them from getting lazy."
All the soldiers at the outpost could also hear the words of Lei Xingkong and Li Dahai. As soon as Li Dahai finished speaking, one of them immediately echoed: "Sir, Wu Zhang Li is right, this little injury is nothing."
, just practice as usual!”
Lei Xingkong turned his eyes and looked at the soldier. When he saw the man clearly, he couldn't help but smile.
The soldier who spoke was Bald Liu, who was originally a famous thorn in the Dibei outpost. After yesterday's battle, his cultivation level had also been improved and he had entered the second level of Canglong Jue.
The whole night before, Bald Liu had been in a state of extreme excitement. He had never dared to think about improving his cultivation. Therefore, after hearing Li Dahai's words just now, he couldn't help but immediately echoed them.
, he really wanted to train himself harder so that his cultivation could be improved even more.
Lei Xingkong thought for a moment, then deliberately teased: "Bald Liu, you said this, okay, then we will practice as usual today. Well, since you are so stubborn, I will punish you by running ten more laps today. Do you accept it?"
"
Hearing that Lei Xingkong wanted to punish him, the bald Liu Xian was startled for a moment, and then his face turned into a bitter melon, but he said: "I obey, as long as it is punished by Lord Yingzheng, I will accept it!"
"Hahaha……"
When the other soldiers saw Bald Liu being punished, they couldn't help laughing. Some of the people who were close to Bald Liu patted him on the head.
"I told you to talk too much, kid, but I punished you too little!"
"Master Yingzheng punished well!"
"According to me, you should be punished more..."
Lei Xingkong, who had spent his whole life in the military camp in his previous life, saw the soldiers laughing and laughing in a relaxed manner. Lei Xingkong also liked this kind of atmosphere where he got along like a fish in water, and couldn't help but burst out laughing like the soldiers.
After the joke, the three corps commanders led the soldiers to start daily drills.
Lei Xingkong sat in the open space and watched, with more things to think about in his mind.
Yu Hongtian once said that the Yong Army and the Barbarian Army will fight every other day, which means that they may have to go out again tomorrow, so they need to prepare early.
At this time, there were less than 300 iron officials and disciples left, and their military strength was greatly weakened. The first thing to do was to replenish them.
Secondly, all the soldiers at the outpost are injured. Although they are all minor injuries, there is no time to recover. It is not an option to continue this long. Fortunately, they all carry soul flags, and their combat power will not be weakened. On the contrary, they will still be restored after every battle.
It will be enhanced due to the improvement of cultivation level, which is something Lei Xingkong doesn't have to worry about in the short term.
"How to replenish the strength of the forward battalion first?"
Lei Xingkong thought secretly, thinking of Yu Hongtian first, and only Yu Hongtian could help him at this time.
"Well, let's go to Uncle Yu first, see what he says, and ask him to get some better armor and blades for the iron officials and disciples, so that they can become stronger on the battlefield!"
After gathering them all, Lei Xingkong stood up, said hello to the three corps commanders, and walked out of the forward camp.
…
Lei Xingkong had to pass various checkpoints in the fortress along the way from the forward camp to Captain Xuangjie's headquarters.
Every time he passed a level, the soldiers guarding him would pay attention and salute him. They had more or less respect in their eyes. As they walked, some people actually greeted him loudly: "Are you the Leiying Zheng from the Forward Battalion?"
"Yesterday, the forward camp showed off the power of our army, and Zhang Zijian, who is under the Tiger Roar Camp, admires Lei Yingzheng very much."...
When Lei Xingkong heard this, he walked forward, clasping his fists and saluting from a distance: "Brother Zhang, you're welcome, but Lei Xingkong doesn't take it seriously!"
"I'm Lu Li at Langya Camp..."
"I'm Hu Ran at Leopard Leap Camp..."
Along the way, he encountered no less than ten such conversations. Lei Xingkong dealt with them one by one, and finally arrived at the Xuanjie Colonel's Office.
There were two guards standing guard in front of the government office. They both recognized Lei Xingkong and did not need Lei Xingkong to talk nonsense, so they took the initiative to ask him to wait aside, and then went inside to report.
After a while, Li Hanqing came out. As soon as he saw Lei Xingkong, he smiled and said: "Okay, you are finally here. You earned us enough face yesterday. It's really worthy of the fact that Brother Yu loves you so much!"
Lei Xingkong chuckled and didn't answer.
Li Hanqing was obviously very happy. He pulled Lei Xingkong inside and said, "Brother Yu was summoned by the general to discuss matters early in the morning. He hasn't come back yet. You have to wait."
"No problem!"
"Come here so early, what's the matter?"
Lei Xingkong thought for a while and said, "Actually, my affairs are the same as what you said to Uncle Li."
Li Hanqing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are welcome, just say it!"
Of course, Lei Xingkong was not polite. After a moment to collect his thoughts, he said a few things he wanted to help with:
1. Long Rui and others want to join the county army.
2. The forward camp is short of people.
3. Change the clothes of the iron official.
After explaining the matter clearly in a few words, Lei Xingkong hid the matter about Chen Zhongxing and prepared to talk to Yu Hongtian face to face.
Li Hanqing listened quietly, and after Lei Xingkong finished speaking, he said: "The first and third items are not a big deal. As long as there is a letter of order from Brother Yu, everything can be arranged. As for the second item
…”
"What?" Lei Xingkong frowned, "Uncle Li, if the forward battalion cannot replenish its strength, how can it go into battle?"
Li Hanqing waved his hand and said: "It's not that we won't recruit people for you, but the new batch of iron officials and disciples have not been sent yet. If you want to transfer people, you need to transfer them from the county army. This requires the general's order."
After a pause, Li Hanqing said again: "Don't worry, you may not have to go out in battle tomorrow."
"Um?"
Lei Xingkong was surprised and asked: "Uncle Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Hanqing said softly: "I heard that the barbarians are going to retreat."
"retreat?"
Lei Xingkong was even more surprised.
The battle between the Yong Kingdom and the Tianhuo Barbarians has just begun. Why are the barbarians retreating?
According to the habits of the barbarians, even if they did not attack Yanyun, they would still harass the various checkpoints on the border and kill and plunder. It is really surprising that the troops have withdrawn before the winter is over.
Li Hanqing said: "I don't know what the reason is, but I heard from Brother Yu earlier that Marquis Jieyi held a military meeting today just for this matter."
"So that's it...it's not a bad thing."
Lei Xingkong nodded secretly.
No matter why the barbarians retreated, as long as they retreated, it was a good thing.
The only thing that made Lei Xingkong feel a little regretful was that he could no longer obtain soul power from the battlefield to speed up his cultivation.
But it doesn't matter. It's the same with the help of Fangcun Heaven and Earth, and slowly absorbing the nourishment of the earth's energy.
