Chapter 456: Training (I)

It was decided that Yu Chong would go to the Imperial Guard Camp.

A fierce argument broke out over who would stay in the Nanyang military camp and who would follow to the personal guard camp: "I will follow General Yu to the personal guard camp."

"I have read military books and know how to train soldiers, so of course I will go."

"Bah, you have the nerve to say that. You only know a few characters, but it's a military book passed down by your ancestors. If you change it to another book, you won't be able to understand it."

"So what? That's better than you! I'm going anyway!"

The generals argued fiercely. They were in the Nanyang military camp, training all day long, becoming strong and muscular, but they had few opportunities to go out and show their prowess. The last time they went out was two years ago when they accompanied Yu Chong to deliver food to Yan County. It had been almost two years, and they were all bored and bored.

Now I can go to the Royal Guards to meet the princess, learn from the masters in the Royal Guards, and finally learn how the Royal Guards train soldiers. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Even Li Tie couldn't help it and volunteered, "I will also follow General Yu to the Royal Guard Battalion. The Royal Guard Battalion is extremely elite, and I have long wanted to go and broaden my horizons."

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Yu Chong was quite satisfied: "I understand your feelings. However, someone has to stay in the barracks. Li Tie, I don't trust others, so you stay!"

Li Tie had no choice but to agree.

Yu Chong glanced around and named eight generals, asking them to go with him. The rest of the generals stayed behind.

In the past, the military camp was divided into factions, but in the past few years, even Li Tie became Yu Chong's number one confidant, and the other generals had long since submitted to him.

We are all the princess’s people. There is only one faction, and that is the princess’s faction. What else is there to fight for?

Two days later, Yu Chong set out with eight generals and two hundred soldiers. They rode fast all the way and arrived at the Royal Guard Camp in less than three days.

Ten miles away, there was a sentry post of the Royal Guard Battalion. Within five miles, the sentry posts became increasingly dense. Not to mention a living person, even a strange fly would have no chance of flying in.

Yu Chong saw this and thought to himself that he must strengthen the sentry posts in the Nanyang military camp after returning.

"The princess has come to greet us personally." An excited voice sounded in my ears.

Yu Chong quickly came back to his senses, and his eyes were also excited. A group of people came to greet them from outside the Royal Guard Camp. The girl in the lead was dressed in a military uniform, with a slender figure and eyes shining with dazzling brilliance. It was their beloved Nanyang Princess Jiang Shaohua.

Yu Chong immediately dismounted and led a group of military officers forward: "I came here in response to the call. I am flattered to be greeted by the princess herself."

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "Hurry up and get up. This is General Yu's first time in the Guard Camp. Stay for a while and get to know each other better."

Yu Chong hurriedly responded with a smile, and then greeted Song Yuan, Qin Zhan and others warmly.

Needless to say, Song Yuan was the commander of the princess's personal guards and was an old acquaintance of Yu Chong. Qin Zhan, Meng Dashan, and Liu Hengchang had all led troops to patrol with the princess in recent years and knew Yu Chong. In fact, Yu Chong had been unilaterally competing with the personal guards, hoping to train a force that was no weaker than the personal guards.

The Nanyang Army's current combat power is indeed elite. However, the Royal Guard Battalion has better weapons and equipment, and its horses are more diligent in training. They also take turns escorting food and grain to the north, which is equivalent to actual combat training. The current Royal Guard Battalion is so powerful that it is definitely not comparable to the Nanyang Army.

Everyone followed Jiang Shaohua into the military tent.

Jiang Shaohua said directly without any nonsense: "The Royal Guards are studying how to train soldiers to defeat the Rouran cavalry. This princess asked you to come here so that you can learn to train soldiers together. In the future, the Nanyang Army will also practice new military formations." Yu Chong already knew the general idea from the letter. Now that the princess gave the order in person, Yu Chong looked serious and bowed, saying: "I will concentrate on seeking advice from the commanders."

Qin Zhan smiled and said politely: "No, no, we should also learn from General Yu."

As the commander of the Nanyang Army, Yu Chong was also a man of real ability. He could write memorials and kill enemies on horseback, so he was considered to be both civil and military.

Jiang Shaohua trusted Chong very much, and even did not hide the matter of military training from Yu Chong. He also called him to discuss the strategy of military training together. The leaders of the personal guard camp naturally did not quarrel at this time, and all behaved generously and approachably.

As for whether we will have a fight or a competition in military training in the future... that is of course certain.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second!

Appropriate and healthy competition is also a good thing. Jiang Shaohua saw the eagerness of the generals and smiled slightly: "General Yu, go and settle down and rest first, and go to the martial arts training ground tomorrow."

Yu Chong immediately said: "I am not tired, no need to rest, let's go to the martial arts training ground now."

The generals behind him straightened their chests, indicating that riding horses was a trivial matter and they were not tired at all.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look now."

……

In the past few days, some horse slaves have been sent from the stable.

These horse slaves were from foreign tribes such as Gaoku Hu and Moxi. They were once cavalrymen, but later they were defeated and became war slaves. They were bought by the Ma family and became horse slaves. In terms of combat power, they are not very strong now, but controlling horses and charging has long been integrated into their blood. They are very suitable for training soldiers.

More than twenty horse slaves, each riding a warhorse, holding wooden weapons in their hands, rushed over like the wind, with great momentum. After the first round of charge, in just a dozen breaths, the horse slaves regrouped and charged again.

Yu Chong was shocked and stared at the scene in the school martial arts field without blinking.

After one stick of incense, this round of training ended.

The horse slaves voluntarily stepped aside, drank water, ate dried meat and rested.

On this side, three or five young guards gathered together, lowering their heads and talking about something. Some of them were so excited that they waved their arms and shouted louder and louder: "Don't be afraid of a head-on collision. Why were you hiding just now?"

"I didn't dodge, but my legs were a little weak, so I rode a little slower."

"Just because of this, we all slowed down. We lost so quickly, it's all your fault."

The young guard who was accused lowered his head in shame. The other guards complained a few words and then reflected on themselves or discussed their gains and losses.

"These are the guards of the third battalion," Jiang Shaohua turned around and said to Chong with a smile, "The first and second battalions haven't had their turn yet. You should stay in the third battalion these days and communicate and discuss with Commander Liu more often."

Liu Hengchang is a man of both civil and military talents, and is good at training soldiers. He can be regarded as the best general under Jiang Shaohua. In terms of skills alone, there are at least seven or eight generals present who can beat Liu Hengchang. When it comes to training soldiers and managing military camps, no one can match him.

Yu Chong had experienced Liu Hengchang's power before and was very impressed by him. He smiled and accepted the order.
