Lu Ning did not participate in the great fusion. He rested alone. Think about what to do in the future? Since it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no use complaining. If he wanted to live longer, he could only rely on himself.
After resting for a few days, Lv Ning led his troops to attack again. In a month, they had destroyed seven or eight Horse Gang groups and two small tribes under the Murong Clan.
He killed more than 1,900 Xianbei people, subdued more than 1,700 mounted gangsters, and seized more than 4,000 warhorses. Lu Ning's army suffered 613 casualties, of which 216 were seriously injured or killed.
Currently, the number of soldiers in the Lu Ning Army had reached 2,600. Among them, 300 of them were selected from the disaster victims and refugees. They were all hunters who were skilled in archery and riding.
The biggest problem now was that there were more than 10,000 refugees gathered around Lü Ning. When they heard that the Lü Ning army specialized in killing horse thieves and Xianbei people, they rushed to the Lü Ning army in groups. This made it very difficult for Lü Ning.
Lu Ning did not have the ability to protect them at all. With Lu Ning's current strength, he could only rely on sneak attacks, guerrilla warfare, harassment, and other tactics to deal with the Horse Gang or small groups of Xianbei people.
The Lü Ning army had never fought a direct battle with the enemy. The Lü Ning army had never had a fixed base and had no fixed residence. This also made Lü Ning's enemies unable to figure out where the Lü Ning army was. By the time the other party obtained the information, Lü Ning might have led the army to another place to launch a sneak attack.
Now, there were more than 10,000 commoners around. This was troublesome. It was impossible for Lu Ning to ignore their lives, but Lu Ning did not have the ability to protect them. This made Lu Ning feel as if his head was as big as an ox. He really could not think of any good way to solve the current predicament.
Moreover, Lu Ning did not have that much food to feed so many disaster victims and refugees. The Lü Ning army's rations were completely replenished by the bandits and Xianbei people. However, there were some Xianbei people or Horse Gangs who were relatively far away. Although the Lü Ning army had wiped them out, it was impossible for them to transport all their rations. The Lü Ning army did not have the time to transport the extra rations. Once the Lü Ning army was greedy, they would be attacked by the enemy at any time.
Lu Ning himself did not know how the military system of the Great Han Dynasty was set up. He asked Li You and the others, but they did not understand either. Lu Ning had no choice but to follow the method of the later generations and set up the soldiers under Lu Ning:
10 people were in a squad, 60 people were in a platoon, 10 of them were in logistics, 250 people were in a company, 50 of them were in logistics, 1,000 people were in a battalion, 200 of them were in logistics, 4,000 people were in a regiment, 800 of them were in logistics and reserves, 16,000 people were in a division, 3,200 of them were in reserves and logistics, two divisions and above were legions, legions and above were group armies. Soldiers were divided into lower class, upper class, corporal, sergeant and sergeant. General officers were divided into second lieutenant, first lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, admiral, and marshal. A sergeant can be a squad leader, a second lieutenant can be a platoon leader, a lieutenant or captain can be a company commander, a major or lieutenant colonel can be a battalion commander, a colonel or brigadier general can be a division commander, and a major general or lieutenant general can be a division commander or regimental commander.
Of course, there was one thing that made Lü Ning very happy. That was even happier than letting Lü Ning pick up a piece of gold.
During this period of time, the Lu Ning army had been exterminating the mounted gangsters and fighting the Xianbei people, which had given the Lu Ning army a certain level of fame in the northern grasslands. Rumors were spreading that a giant bear had appeared in the northern plains, and the flying bear army led by him was invincible.
The Flying Bear Army attacked the Horse Gang and killed the Xianbei. They never harassed the people and even tried their best to protect the local villagers. This also brought many disaster victims and young refugees who requested to join the Lu Ning Army.
Lu Ning did not want to recruit new soldiers at the moment because they did not have actual combat ability. As for the bandits who had surrendered, they had been fighting in the grasslands for many years. Although they were not well trained, they did not lack actual combat experience.
Lü Ning requested that those who wanted to join Lü Ning's army had to be able to shoot arrows. To shoot ten arrows, at least eight of them had to be shot, and four of them had to hit the bullseye. Moreover, they had to be able to ride a horse and had a strong body.
One day, Lü Ning's personal guard, a small leader, came to Lü Ning and told him that there was a man who had come to join the army. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and all ten arrows he shot were red hearts. He was very skilled in riding.
He said that there was no one in Lu Ning's army who could ride a horse better than him.
This made Lu Ning depressed. How could there be any famous and brave generals in such a place? Could it be that they were talents that had been buried in the history of the Three Kingdoms?
Lu Ning also knew that no dynasty could unearth all the talents. There would always be many talented people who would be drowned out by history.
"What's his name?" Lu Ning turned to Zhang Sha 'er and asked.”
Zhang Sha 'er hesitated for a moment before replying,""My liege, I just saw that his ability was too strong, so I ran over in joy. I forgot to ask for his name.”
Lü Ning followed Silly to the recruitment area. When the soldier saw Lü Ning, he immediately stood up and bowed to Lü Ning. The warrior looked at Lü Ning. The famous big bear of the prairie also came to salute Lü Ning and said,"Greetings, Lord."
"I heard that you are a master of martial arts and are skilled in archery and riding.”
The warrior glanced at Lü Ning and said,""I don't dare to boast that my martial arts skills are outstanding and that I'm skilled in archery and riding, but with the spear in my hand, I don't think there's much chance that I can be easily defeated.”
After hearing the warrior's words, Lu Ning said,""Oh, can I ask the warrior for advice?”
The warrior was not here to join the army at all. He was a soldier stationed in the imperial court nearby. He was just here to see what was going on with the Flying Bear Army and how it had become so famous in just a few months. Now that a military boss was coming to personally inspect him, how could he be unhappy? The warrior immediately replied,"Everything will be at your disposal."”
Lü Ning took off his coat, and the soldier handed Lü Ning a wooden long knife. The warrior also took a wooden stick and used it as a gun.
Lü Ning focused his attention and stared at the warrior. Lü Ning knew that the other party did not want to attack him first. The other party was waiting for him to attack.
Lü Ning did not hesitate to slash at the other party, but the other party turned his body and blocked Lü Ning's saber with his spear.
Lü Ning also took a side step, and the saber in his hand slashed down at the opponent's chest and waist. The warrior did not expect Lü Ning to use such an unimaginable move and hurriedly retreated to dodge.
Lu Ning, on the other hand, stepped forward. With every step, he struck out with his sword. He hacked, slashed, raised, stabbed, and swung his sword in a series of antique movements. It really looked like the sword skills of the Japanese in the future.
The warrior was calm and did not panic.
Lü Ning paused for a moment. The other party knew that he wanted him to attack. The spear in his hand also stabbed towards Lü Ning's chest without hesitation. The spear's moves were continuous.
Lu Ning blocked, retreated, and jumped. He even used boxing steps.
Of course, in Lü Ning's eyes, the other party's attack speed was not very fast either, although it was several times faster than Li You and the others. It seemed that his eyesight and hearing were still a little better than his.
