Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 587 Planning to train troops 1
The battle with the wolves did not last long. Although the number of wolves reached more than [-], they could not resist the continuous arrows and short spear attacks from Gongsun Xu's cavalry.

These wild wolves may be more fierce and fearsome than ordinary soldiers, but as long as they are injured, they basically lose their fighting power. Whenever an arrow or a short spear hits the wolf's leg, even if it only hurts The soles of the feet, this wild wolf can neither continue to run, nor can it cull the soldiers, it can only stay where it is, howling and screaming, and then wait for others to end its life.

"Catch that wolf king." Gongsun Xu rode his horse behind him, and there were more than 300 cavalry behind him. In this battle, Gongsun Xu took the lead and fought without fear. The bow, arrow and weapon in his hand had already killed more than 20 cavalry. Yelang, this record may not be a big deal, but Gongsun Xu's determination to lead the way has been seen by everyone.

Everyone knew that the winter hunt was initiated by Gongsun Xu's organization. Although Dian Wei, the great commander, led most of the forces, everyone could see Gongsun Xu's status from Dian Wei's respectful attitude towards Gongsun Xu.

If it was just that Dian Wei was advancing and retreating with them, living and dying together, everyone might just be moved. After all, Dian Wei's current position as the great commander is completely unnecessary.But if Gongsun Xu was with everyone, the impact would be different.

Gongsun Xu's status is still higher than Dian Wei's, and he is called a gentleman by all the soldiers in the army, that is, the military division-level figure Dian Wei said before. This kind of talent can still be able to fight even if they don't live with these big soldiers. He was respected by everyone, but Gongsun Xu still chose to hunt and train with everyone, which made the soldiers very excited.

There are more than 500 wild wolves ahead. They are the remnants of the defeated wolf pack. The wolf king's command ability is not bad, but their enemies are too strong, and Gongsun Xu doesn't care about the consumption of arrows at all. So there is almost no suspense about the outcome of the two sides.

"We must kill this wolf king today, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Gongsun Xu bent his bow and set an arrow to aim at the wolves running ahead. When he led the charge before, the wolf king was standing on the hillside. I could feel the terrifying feeling when the wolf king was staring at him, as if he was being stared at by a demon.

It seemed that the wolf king really held his grudges. Gongsun Xu sabotaged his hunting twice, snatched the prey from him twice, and weakened his pack of wolves twice.

Back when hunting in that valley, the wolf king had tens of thousands of wild wolves under his command. Since he was defeated by Gongsun Xu that time, his pack of wolves has gradually become weaker.Two months ago, the wolf pack of the wolf king was besieged again, forcing them to migrate to the north. As a result, they encountered heavy snow and almost lost their food source.

"No, there is a forest ahead." Gongsun Ran shouted, "Don't let them enter the forest..."

Before the words were finished, the wolves ran towards the forest with all their strength. Gongsun Xu fired another burst of arrows, leaving more than 20 wild wolves behind, but the rest of the wolves still got in. forest.

"That's all, hey." Gongsun Xu rode his horse in a circle and said, "Unexpectedly, this beast escaped, but I don't know if this beast will come to take revenge in the future."

There were also quite a few prairie warriors among the crowd, and they knew as much about wild wolves as Gongsun Xu did, so when Gongsun Xu said this, they also showed a bit worried look on their faces.

The cavalrymen around Gongsun Ran clasped their hands and said, "Sir, this pack of wolves has suffered such a big injury, and it is impossible to recover in a short time. According to my understanding of the pack of wolves, most of these wild wolves are going to migrate elsewhere.

When we tracked the wolves before, we found signs of fighting within the wolf pack. It seems that the position of the wolf king is not very stable. The wolf pack is like a crowd. When the wolf king leads his subordinates to repeated defeats, how can other wolves There is no intention of replacing it. "

"Your name is Iron Wolf?" Gongsun Xu turned around and asked, "Did you lead them to track down the wolves last time?"

"Exactly." Iron Wolf replied: "At that time, we couldn't find out the specific size of the wolf pack, so that we made a mistake in our judgment. We never thought that there were more than 2000 wild wolves than we expected. The villain is negligent."

"Hehe, it's not bad that you can do so much." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "From now on, follow me and be a personal soldier. The name Iron Wolf is not suitable for you. From now on, you will be called Iron Mastiff."

"This,,,,,," this guy is still a little uncomfortable now, Gongsun Xu asked him to become a soldier without even saying hello, and also changed his name by the way, Iron Wolf didn't know if Gongsun Xu was there How much power is there to directly demand someone in front of the commander and the commander.

"You bastard, why don't you hurry up and thank you, sir." Gongsun Ran looked at Tie Mastiff who was at a loss and said, "From now on, you will be called Tie Mastiff. Mr. Guard is your responsibility, do you understand?"

"Tie Mastiff, sounds very domineering." Tie Mastiff thought in his heart: "Who is this gentleman? Is he really just the leader of a small tribe? Fate is obedience, could it be that I am lucky today."

"Little man Tie Mastiff, I have seen the master." Tie Mastiff is not stupid, he knelt down on the spot and recognized Gongsun Xu as the leader, which is not like Aaron and the others who just call Gongsun Xu the leader. According to the title of Tie Mastiff, he From now on, not only Gongsun Xu's personal soldiers, but also Gongsun Xu's slaves, a domestic slave.

It seems that his status has dropped a lot, but in fact, it has shown that the relationship between him and Gongsun Xu is not as simple as the relationship between generals and subordinates.

"You are very smart, and you are a good material." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "If you are willing to practice hard, you will surely achieve some achievements within three years. Follow me and be prepared to endure hardships. I don't need to be useless." house slave.

Do you know why I changed your name to Iron Mastiff?I have raised two mastiffs, one is called Ghost Mastiff, loyal and fierce, and the other is called Qinglang, who is good at tracking and understands codes.

I hope you will be like these two mastiffs in the future, don't let me down, work hard, I will give you a surprise in two months. "

Tie Mastiff didn't know the meaning of Gongsun Xu's words, and he didn't understand what kind of surprise Gongsun Xu would bring him, not to mention him, even Aaron and Ahu didn't understand.

It wasn't until a few months later that Gongsunxu took in twelve prairie warriors to form the Twelve Zodiac Guards that they realized how lucky they were to have such a day. More than ten years later, the Twelve Zodiac Guards would be the prairie guards. A myth on the

"Let's all go back. Now go back and clean up the battlefield. After we're done with the things here, we'll go track the sheep." Gongsun Xu commanded the crowd and said, "Today is not a hard fight, and there is no pressure, but everyone is fighting bravely." That's it, we'll have another meal tonight, and we'll continue hunting tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." Everyone replied in unison. Now even a fool can see who is in charge of the house here. He didn't see that the commander and commander who are usually high above him are now on both sides of this gentleman, even when he is talking. Do you keep your head down, and walk half a horse on purpose when you walk?If you can't see this anymore, then there is absolutely no future.

After returning to the battlefield, there are already many people dealing with prey.Before the wolves attacked the sheep, many gazelles were injured or killed. Now that the wolves have been repelled, these prey are considered cheap for Gongsun Xu.

It's just that the sheepskins and wolfskins harvested in today's battle are not laughable. Everyone is busy, and Gongsun Ran led five teams of cavalry to continue tracking the sheep.

When fighting with the wolves, the flock took advantage of the chaos to escape, but it was impossible for these flocks to escape too far. According to Gongsun Xu's scruples, it was not bad for these gazelles to run thirty miles. After all, the flock needed more It is impossible for them to leave too far away for forage and water.

In the evening, there are large pots on top of the bonfires in the camp, in which meat such as mutton and wolf meat is cooked. It is enough to cook them in a pot. For them, it is the best delicacy to replenish their strength and satisfy their appetites.

If you want to talk about delicious food, it is probably roasted whole sheep. Many people roast whole sheep with charcoal fire. The aroma has already filled the entire camp.

Today's harvest was good, and Gongsun Xu was not a stingy person. Almost every twenty people could get a roasted whole lamb. Perhaps this was far from enough for these people to eat, but there was still so much meat and soup in the pot.

"The performance of the soldiers today can only be considered so-so." Gongsun Xu cut off a piece of mutton with a knife, and then chewed slowly: "Individual combat ability needs to be improved, and group cooperation ability is almost zero.

Today, the cooperation of those wolves is better than that of the soldiers. If only this kind of ability is only available, I am afraid that these soldiers will be able to fight with us for a few games at most. If we really want the soldiers to learn on the battlefield With these things, I am afraid that at least half of the people will die on the battlefield.

We have limited food and grass now, and we can't make any big noises for the time being, so we can only take the route of elite soldiers. Aran, the more than 1000 people under your command still need to strengthen training.

Select reliable and loyal men from among them, the number does not need to be too many, but they must be trustworthy, and let them train with the generals of the Huben Army for ten days.

What's worse, 200 people were selected from the Huben Army, and after returning home, these veterans were allowed to lead them to train, whether it was individual combat or group cooperation, they had to be taught.

These people can be called prairie warriors, but they haven't seen what is called a warrior on the battlefield, and they don't know what is called an elite. My 500-member tiger and cardinal army can resist the attack of tens of thousands of prairie cavalry. This is definitely not bragging out, understand? "

"No." Dian Wei and the others all surrendered their orders. Although they achieved some victories today, it is obvious that Gongsun Xu is quite dissatisfied with the performance of everyone today. There are indeed warriors among these soldiers, but for Gongsun Xu, they They can't be called qualified soldiers, let alone elite soldiers, so they need training.
