The next day, the 100 people followed Tong Yuan to practice martial arts, while the rest were trained by Fan Xing after running. Fan Xing glanced at the 700 people in front of him and said,""Do you know what the soul of a soldier is?”"Not afraid of death!" "Brave!" The crowd immediately shouted. Fan Xing saw them arguing in front of him and immediately frowned and shouted,""Shut up, what are you arguing about? What you said is wrong!”Instantly, everyone shut their mouths and looked at Fan Xing. Fan Xing didn't say anything. He looked at the crowd in front of him, hoping that someone could answer him. However, after a long time, no one answered him, so he gave up.
Just as he was about to say what the soul of a soldier was, a young voice sounded,"It's military discipline!" When Fan Xing heard the answer, he immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a child standing in an inconspicuous corner. When Fan Xing saw that the person who gave the answer was a child, he was very surprised. However, he forgot that he was also a child now. He slowly walked towards the child.
Seeing Fan Xing walking towards him, the child was frightened. However, he still stubbornly stuck out his chest and looked at Fan Xing. Fan Xing saw that this child dared to look at him directly. Although there was still a trace of fear in his eyes, it was already very good for a child to dare to look at him directly. Until now, only the three siblings of the Zhao family and those children who were specially selected to train dared to do this. Therefore, Fan Xing was even more interested in this child. Fan Xing walked up to the child and asked calmly,""What's your name?" Seeing Fan Xing's calm tone, the child was no longer so restrained. He immediately replied loudly,""Young Master, my name is Xu Huang!"
Hearing this name, Fan Xing immediately became excited. On the surface, he smiled and said to Xu Huang,"Why do you think that military discipline is the soul of the army?”Xu Huang replied without thinking," If an army doesn't have discipline, the army will be lax. In battle, they won't be able to execute the orders of their superiors accurately. If it's light, they'll miss the opportunity to fight. If it's serious, they'll be completely wiped out.”"Good, well said!" Fan Xing laughed happily. Haha!" Everyone heard Fan Xing and the kid talking and suddenly burst into laughter. They felt it was strange and looked at Fan Xing.
Fan Xing turned around and looked at the crowd. He pulled Xu Huang to them and said loudly,"His name is Xu Huang. The military discipline he mentioned just now is the soul of a soldier!”When everyone heard this, they started arguing again."No way. A child can also talk about the soul of the army.”"Could it be that Young Master said that because he saw that he was a child like him?”Fan Xing looked at everyone and said coldly,""What do you look like now?" When everyone heard Fan Xing's voice, they felt as if they were in an ice mountain. Their bodies went cold and they immediately shut their mouths in fear and looked at Fan Xing.
Seeing that everyone had shut up, the ice on Fan Xing's face melted. He smiled and said,""You guys just started training today, so I don't blame you. Now, you guys stand in my position for four hours. Without my permission, no one is allowed to move.”Everyone saw Fan Xing's smile and felt that something was wrong. Seeing Fan Xing's simple military posture, they immediately replied loudly,""Yes, sir!" After responding, he immediately imitated Fan Xing and stood in a military posture.
Two hours later, Fan Xing still had a smile on his face. He held a small branch in his hand and looked at the people who were still standing in the same place. However, when they saw the smile on Fan Xing's face, they were not happy at all. At first, it was fine. But after 15 minutes, some people started to lose their patience. Fan Xing immediately hit them with the branch in his hand when he saw them move. They didn't dare to move. Time passed slowly. It was the first time they felt that time passed so slowly. They looked as if they had just taken a shower. They were all wet. No one dared to look down on this military posture anymore, and subconsciously, they no longer looked down on Fan Xing's " smile."
When Fan Xing announced that four hours had passed, everyone lay on the ground, unable to move. Fan Xing saw this and smiled in his heart. He thought back to when he participated in military training in university. He was not much different from them. Fan Xing smiled." From today onwards, you will stand for four hours a day. Four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon.”After saying that, the smile on his face became even wider. Hearing this, everyone immediately wailed, but no one dared to object.
Fan Xing was very satisfied and said to everyone,""Alright, everyone, go back and have lunch now. Then, rest well. We'll continue in the afternoon.”After Fan Xing returned from Hidden Dragon Mountain, the Fan manor had started to implement three meals a day. When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up and quickly ran home to fight for time to rest.
Fan Xing pulled Xu Huang towards his own residence. As they walked, he said to Xu Huang,"Who taught you what you said this morning?”When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately shook his head."Young Master, this is all my own idea. I came up with it based on Zhao Jie (one of the ten children of the Zhao family, namely Zhao Jie, Zhao Ying, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Qiang, Zhao Hu, Zhao Tian, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Kui, and Zhao Li).）I thought of it in the war stories my brother told me.”"Oh? How did you come up with that based on those stories?”Fan Xing continued to ask. Xu Huang replied,"Although the strategies in the story are the best, the ones who execute them are still the soldiers. If the soldiers can't complete the mission, it's useless no matter how good the strategies are.”Fan Xing nodded in agreement."That's right. You're right. Follow me from now on. I'll ask my master to teach you martial arts, and I'll teach you the art of war."”Xu Huang was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately thanked Fan Xing."Thank you, Young Master!"
In the afternoon, Fan Xing was training the Vanguard Army to stand in a military stance. Meanwhile, Fan Xing left Xu Huang by Tong Yuan's side. At first, Tong Yuan didn't want to take Xu Huang in, but after seeing Xu Huang in person, he immediately took Xu Huang in as his disciple.
Just like that, half a month passed. During this half a month, the people of the Vanguard Army had gotten used to standing in a military posture. Moreover, they had changed from the original 12 hours a day to 12 hours a day. The current Vanguard Army was completely different from the Vanguard Army half a month ago. The current Vanguard Army was much stronger than before in terms of spirit and aura. They were even better than the current Great Han Army. In terms of military discipline, they would never do anything unless Fan Xing gave them an order. Xu Huang's martial arts and strategy had also improved by leaps and bounds under the meticulous guidance of Tong Yuan and Fan Xing.
This morning, everyone gathered in the square on time as usual. They all held their heads high and stood straight. They stood there quietly, looking forward, waiting for Fan Xing's orders. Fan Xing came in front of everyone and nodded with satisfaction.""After half a month of training, everyone should feel the effect now, right?”"Yes, sir!" Instantly, a series of orderly voices resounded through the sky. Fan Xing also felt that it was deafening. He continued,""Today, you will officially begin your combat training. This will be even harder than before. Are you afraid?”"I'm not afraid!" Everyone replied in unison again, their voices still echoing in the air.
Fan Xing led the Vanguard Army to the woods behind the manor. There was a large clearing in the woods. Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhao Jie stood in the middle of the clearing. Fan Xing led the Vanguard Army to the center of the open space and said to the Vanguard Army,""Now, each of you go and get a saber. Then, gather and stand properly.”Soon, everyone was standing straight in front of Fan Xing with a knife in their hands. Fan Xing looked at the orderly army in front of him and felt very gratified.
Fan Xing waited for everyone to take their sabers and stand before saying,""From today onwards, you will have to hack 30,000 times here every morning. If it's not enough, you are not allowed to leave the forest.”"Understood!" Everyone immediately replied in unison. Just like that, Fan Xing began to train their combat skills, such as chopping, emergency dodging, how to hide, guerrilla warfare, and so on.
Spring came and winter went. Soon, a year had passed. During this year, the Vanguard Army had been training non-stop according to Fan Xing's training method. Now, they had completely achieved the order to stop, and their combat strength was constantly improving. The Vanguard Army had now reached 1000 people and was divided into two battalions. The first battalion was led by Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhao Ying, Zhao Li, Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Qiang. Zhao Yun was the leader and the others were the deputies. The 2nd Battalion was led by Zhao Jie, Zhao Hu, Zhao Kui, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, and Zhao Tian. Zhao Jie was the leader, and the rest were the deputies. Fan Xing even asked his father to secretly forge a batch of equipment for them.
On this day, Fan Xing suddenly gathered the Vanguard Army in the square. After the Vanguard Army was gathered, Fan Xing said loudly,""In this year, I am very satisfied with everyone's training. You are already a qualified iron army, and now all you lack is the experience of blood and fire! After training, you will be an invincible army!”Fan Xing paused and looked at the Vanguard Army. Everyone was confident, but no one was arrogant. Fan Xing was very satisfied with their performance and continued,"A few days ago, I asked 'Hidden Dragon' and the others to scout out all the mountain bandits 'nests in Zhen Ding.”After saying that, Fan Xing looked at everyone quietly, wanting to see their reactions. He saw that everyone's expressions were eager to try.
Fan Xing looked at it and nodded.”"Your subordinate is here!" Zhao Yun stepped forward and said. Ever since Fan Xing had started training the Vanguard Army, Zhao Yun and the others had treated themselves as subordinates. No matter how Fan Xing tried to persuade them, they wouldn't listen, so he just let them be. Moreover, he felt a sense of accomplishment after listening to them. "Lead the Vanguard Army 1st Battalion to the forest 30 miles away from the manor to eliminate the bandits.”Fan Xing ordered. "Understood!" Zhao Yun immediately replied.”Then, he retreated. "Where's Zhao Jie?" Fan Xing continued.”"Yes!" Zhao Jie immediately stepped forward. "You lead the second battalion of the Vanguard Army to the hill 20 miles away from the manor to eliminate the bandits," Fan Xing ordered.”"Yes, sir!" Zhao Jie replied straightforwardly. After Fan Xing finished his instructions, he said,""Within an hour, you must complete the mission and come back here.”"Yes, sir!" Zhao Yun and Zhao Jie replied at the same time.
There was a forest 30 miles away from the manor. Normally, there should not be many people here, but at this moment, there was a group of people wearing light armor outside the forest. The crowd was silent and orderly, emitting an invisible killing intent. The person in the lead was obviously the leader of this group.
This person was Zhao Yun. He was leading the Vanguard Army's 1st Battalion and was currently discussing how to eliminate the bandits. " It's not difficult to exterminate these bandits," Zhao Yun said." But we have to do our best to exterminate them without any casualties. What should we do?"”When the other five deputies heard this, they lowered their heads and pondered. After a while, Xu Huang raised his head and said to Zhao Yun,"After Young Master's training, the Vanguard Army is no longer what it used to be. We can first send people to lead two groups of people to quickly sneak into the forest and hide in the trees. Then, we can send people to lead four groups of people to enter the forest with great fanfare. The formation must be scattered but not chaotic, so that the bandits will think that we are temporarily recruited local soldiers. Then, the bandits will come out to fight.”Xu Huang didn't continue speaking because he knew that Zhao Yun would understand. Sure enough, after hearing Xu Huang's suggestion, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and she said loudly,"Good! Zhao Ying, you lead two teams and quickly hide in the forest. After I lure the bandits out to fight with them, you guys immediately come out to surround them. However, you have to leave a way out. Xu Huang, you lead the rest of the people to lie in ambush behind the bandits.”After receiving the order, Zhao Ying immediately sneaked into the forest to find the best place to hide. When Zhao Yun saw Zhao Ying leading his men into the forest, she immediately led four teams into the forest with great fanfare.
In the hall of the stronghold, three people were drinking in the middle of the hall. The person in the middle had a rough face, a beard, and muscles all over his body. The man on the left had a sharp chin, a sallow complexion, and a thin body. The man on the right was bald, and there was a scar on his face from his right eyebrow to the corner of his mouth. These three were the three leaders of the bandits. Suddenly, a mountain bandit rushed into the hall in a panic and knelt in front of the person in the middle."Your Majesty, a group of people entered the forest just now. They were shouting 'exterminate the bandits' as they walked.”When the bandit king heard this, he asked the bandit,"How many of them are there?" "About 200 people." the bandit replied. When the bandit king heard that there were only 200 people, he said disdainfully,""Two hundred people want to destroy us? Tell the brothers to gather. We have to let these people know our power.”
Soon, the 400 bandits gathered together, and under the leadership of the 3 leaders, they charged out of the stronghold and charged towards the group of people who had overestimated themselves.
Zhao Yun led the four groups and swaggered through the forest for a while before finally seeing the mountain bandits come out. Seeing the bandits coming at them menacingly, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all. He calmly ordered the people behind him to work together in small teams while he walked at the front with a wooden spear in his hand. When the bandits saw that the leader of the group was an eleven or twelve-year-old child, they looked down on him even more and rushed forward. However, when the bandits came into contact with Zhao Yun and the others, they knew that they had encountered a tough nut to crack. Their attacks could not hit the other party, and their own side continued to suffer casualties. When they saw this, they immediately wanted to retreat, but the bandits behind them did not know what was going on. They kept charging forward, making it impossible for them to retreat.
Zhao Ying had been hiding in the forest with two groups of people. When he saw the bandits fighting with Zhao Yun and the others, he did not immediately charge out. He was waiting for a better opportunity. When he saw that the bandits in front of him were trying to retreat, they collided with the people behind them. He immediately led two teams into the group of bandits, and the bandits instantly fell into chaos. Out of the three leaders, only the king was left. The bandit king knew that they had fallen into a trap and immediately thought of returning to the stronghold. As long as he returned to guard the stronghold, he would not be afraid of these people. He immediately led the bandits around him to break out. Soon, with their will to live and Zhao Ying's intention to let them go, they quickly broke out of the encirclement. However, when he saw the entrance of the village, an arrow shattered his hope. The arrow instantly pierced through his throat. He felt a pain in his throat, and then the strength in his body slowly disappeared. Xu Huang had been lying in ambush for a long time. Finally, the bandits arrived. Without hesitation, he shot the bandit king to death with an arrow. Then, he led the people behind him to surround the bandits. He stepped forward and shouted,"Your king is already dead, why don't you surrender?”After a series of fierce battles, and now that even the king was dead, the bandits quickly surrendered. This time, they had not suffered any casualties and had captured more than 200 people.
Zhao Jie's situation was also going well. However, they were on a hill and there was no place to hide. Thus, Zhao Jie could only fight the bandits head-on. However, after Fan Xing's intensive training, the Vanguard Army could be said to be the most powerful army in the Great Han Dynasty. It was just that they lacked actual combat. At first, the Vanguard Army was a little nervous, but later on, the Vanguard Army was like a tiger in a flock of sheep. The mountain bandits had no way to fight back. Zhao Hu was like a tiger coming down from the mountain, charging towards places with more people. Zhao Jie calmly watched from the back. He quickly found the leader of the bandits and immediately asked for a bow from the people beside him. He aimed at the leader. The bandit leader was extremely depressed. In the beginning, he could barely suppress this group of people who had suddenly appeared, but they were getting more and more courageous as they fought. His men were no match for them at all. All of a sudden, his years of experience as a bandit reminded him that danger was approaching. He immediately pulled a bandit beside him to block in front of him. His intuition was right, but the arrow pierced through the bandit in front of him and into his chest. He slowly fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, his eyes filled with disbelief and unwillingness.
Zhao Jie coldly watched as the bandit leader slowly fell to the ground. He then shouted,"Your leader has already been killed by me. Why are you still not surrendering?”The bandits heard Zhao Jie's voice and saw their leader lying on the ground. After Zhao Jie and the others killed some of the stubborn rebels, they all surrendered. In this battle, Zhao Jie and the others only had a dozen or so light injuries, and there were no casualties. They even captured more than 100 people.
Fan Xing was currently sitting on a chair at the side of the square, hugging Zhao Yu and saying sweet nothings to her. Zhao Yu's face was flushed red from the teasing. Suddenly, a servant ran up to Fan Xing and said,"Young Master, Young Master Zhao Yun and the others have returned.”Fan Xing was shocked when he heard that Zhao Yun and the others had returned. It had only been half an hour, and they had already wiped out the bandits so quickly? Fan Xing didn't believe it.
However, when Fan Xing saw Zhao Yun and Zhao Jie leading the Vanguard Army into the square and holding the bandit captives, he had no choice but to believe them. Fan Xing happily went forward and held Zhao Yun and Zhao Jie's hands, asking,""Tell me, how did you guys eliminate the bandits so quickly?”Thus, Zhao Yun and Zhao Jie simply explained the situation to Fan Xing. Fan Xing was overjoyed when he heard it. He wasn't worried about Zhao Yun and Zhao Jie's strategy. After being taught by him, they would have no problem using military tactics and stratagems. He was worried that they wouldn't be able to adapt to the first battle with the Vanguard Army. He didn't expect them to be so powerful the first time. Then, after a few more bloody trials, they would be even more powerful. Of course, Fan Xing was happy.
Fan Xing came in front of everyone and said loudly,""I am very satisfied with your performance this time. Your performance has even exceeded my imagination!”Fan Xing stopped and looked at the crowd. They didn't look happy because of his praise. They were still standing in the most standard military posture. There was only a trace of joy in their eyes. Fan Xing saw everyone's performance and was very, very satisfied. He smiled happily and said,""Good, good, good! From this moment on, you are an invincible army!”
