"The Qi Family's Army is an army with a glorious history and tradition, but in recent years, many heartbreaking things have happened in the Qi Family's Army!”
"I came from the Qi Family's Army. Before I left the Qi Family's Army, I only had one influence on it.”
" The Qi Family's Army is a faded army. You have forgotten the essence of the glory of resisting the Japanese pirates in the past. You are intoxicated by the glory of the merit books, arrogant, and negligent in training!”
……
Everyone looked at Zhu Ke, who was speaking on the platform, in shock.
Qi Jin and the other two recovered from their shock and shook their heads with a bitter smile."He's not letting his brothers in the army grit their teeth in hatred.”
Lou Dayou shook his head and smiled, then nodded."That's good too. The reorganization during this period of time hasn't been ideal, and we need an outsider to stand outside the Qi Family's Army and give those bastards in the army a stern warning.”
Qi Jin and Ye Bangrong nodded.
After completing the reorganization of the Qi Family's Army, they also started a training session for the Qi Family's Army while Zhu Ke was training.
He had also obtained the support of 2,000 flintlocks from Zhu Ke, as well as some projectiles.
However, with the increase in equipment, the progress of the training could not satisfy the three of them.
Although those who remained in the army were all brothers who had resigned from their positions in the Wei Office and wanted to make contributions on the battlefield.
Furthermore, after a large number of vacancies appeared, they promoted a large number of soldiers from the bottom to fill them.
The morale of the army was refreshed.
However, there was one problem that they had yet to solve.
Just as Zhu Changluo had said, he had been intoxicated by the glory of the past and had forgotten the essence of glory!
First, it was the generals. The generals influenced the soldiers below, thinking that their tactical skills were all trained on the battlefield and that there was no need for training at all.
The result of their arrogance was that the Qi Family's Army's tactical level and tactical attainment were rapidly declining due to the lack of training!
There was a serious slack in the training!
"Brothers of the new army, in the eyes of the Qi Family's soldiers, you are just a bunch of newbies.”
"Other than a few of you, most of you have never seen the blood on the battlefield.”
"However, as your commander, I still hope to see all of you show 120% of your courage, use your perhaps unfamiliar tactics, and fight against the soldiers of the Qi Family's Army with your unyielding fighting spirit.”
"I, Zhu Ke, your commander, hope that even if you lose in this confrontation, the brothers of the Qi Family's Army will no longer look down on us and will respect us!”
"Hehe, the competition hasn't even started yet and you're already finding a way out.”
"Don't worry, the Qi Family's Army will not show mercy.”
"Yes, we must let that Zhu guy and these fools know what a first-class strong army is!”
……
When the Qi Family's Army heard this, before Zhu Ke could finish, they laughed and made all sorts of strange sounds.
"I'd rather die in battle than drag on!" Zhu Yu turned to look at the general of the Qi Family's Army in front of him and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Ning died in battle! Don't drag it on!"
"Ning died in battle! Don't drag it on!"
……
On the drill ground, all the soldiers of the new army shouted in unison.
Although the somber voice lacked a bit of bloodlust and killing intent, it contained an unwavering will that fused with the sound waves as it spread out from the square formations on the drill ground.
However, it also moved all the people who knew about weapons.
This new army definitely had the foundation to become a strong army!
The foundation of a strong army was the courage of the soldiers and the will to never admit defeat.
Even the commoners could vaguely feel it, let alone the generals.
The soldiers of the Qi Family's Army slowly stood up, their expressions gradually turning solemn, and the mocking expressions on their faces gradually disappeared.
"Brothers, cheer up and teach these fools a lesson!”
"Right, tell the silly kid on the other side that a strong army is not shouting slogans!”
……
Zhu Ke stood on the platform and saw that the atmosphere between the two sides had almost brewed up. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a proud smile.
Then, he rushed to the soldiers beside the war drums and gave the order.
Dong dong dong…
The dull sound of war drums rang out.
Crash!
On the drill ground, the two 1,000-man formations used for confrontation drills quickly regrouped under the orders of the generals.
A moment later, Xiong Tingbi jogged to the platform and reported loudly,""Reporting to General Qi and Commander, the formation has been completed. Can we proceed to the first stage, the close-combat combat drill?”
"Sure!" Qi Jin said with a serious expression.”
Xiong Tingbi beat his chest in military etiquette and left in a small jog.
When Xiong Tingbi led the combat drill supervision team to wave the tricolored flag.
The two formations that were originally only a dozen steps apart began to retreat in opposite directions until they were a hundred steps apart.
This confrontation was mainly a simulation of the battlefield. Within a hundred steps, the two armies would engage in close combat.
This was a common scene in the field, and it was also the cruelest and most challenging battle scene for an army.
"Ama, Tartar." As the two armies were making their final preparations and receiving the final inspection of the fixed gunpowder by the supervision team, Dergler inadvertently noticed that Hai Zhongdi was leading a general dressed in Tartar attire to sit at the edge of the platform. He reminded him in a low voice.
Jintai Shi looked over and frowned slightly.
Dergler suppressed his anger and said,""Ma, it seems that Zhu Ke really made Bu Yan not dare to attack?”
"Why don't we inform the clansmen who are watching the battle at the edge of the drill ground and let them know the dangerous situation facing the clansmen outside the pass. If they make a fuss, Zhu Ke will have no choice but to consider letting them come out of seclusion.”
Jintai Shi rejected without hesitation.
He pointed at the Ming army on the drill ground.""At this moment, there are thirteen thousand Ming soldiers on the drill ground. Although our Ye He Tribe has ten thousand elites, their warhorses are all gathered in the stables.”
"Any reckless move could lead to a disaster.”
"Once the matter gets out of hand, the surrounding will be filled with Ming soldiers, and the elite tribes inside the pass will not be able to escape even if they grow wings.”
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
As soon as Jintai Shi finished speaking, two shouts sounded at the same time on the Drill Ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A hundred steps apart, the Qi Family's Army and Zhu Ke's new army didn't use any fancy moves and started to fire three shots at the same time.
More and more soldiers were shot down, wailing in pain.
Although the amount of gunpowder was reduced, it would not be fatal even if it was concentrated on the face from thirty steps away.
But there was still pain.
This was also the effect that Zhu Changluo and Qi Jin wanted. Only this kind of wailing and pain could truly simulate actual combat.
As the soldiers on both sides fell, the Qi Family's Army was the first to make a tactical change.
They began to shoot as they approached the new army.
Zhu Yu continued to command the new army like a reef in Wang Yang's sea, allowing the rain of bullets to rain down on them. However, they remained unmoving, only repeating three rounds of shots.
……
Outside the pass.
"Even if Chechen Khan doesn't dare to directly start a war with Zhu Ke, doesn't he dare to give Zhu Ke some psychological pressure?”
Chu Ying stood beside Bu Yan on his horse and provoked him,"Why doesn't Khan Chechen lead his troops to press closer to the Ye He Tribe and force them to move to Peace Stronghold in panic?”
"According to my understanding, Zhu Ke will not allow the ordinary clansmen of the Ye He Tribe to enter the pass and meet up with the elites of the Ye He Tribe. This will definitely cause a conflict at the pass. Perhaps Che Chen Khan can take advantage of the chaos to obtain unexpected results!”
Bu Yan listened to Chu Ying's suggestion and couldn't help but feel moved.
He also knew that Chu Ying did not have good intentions.
However, he hated Zhu Ke even more.
Even if he couldn't obtain the unexpected result that Chu Ying had mentioned, as long as he could give Zhu Ke psychological pressure and make him restless, he would be happy.
Moreover, he had also thought about it carefully. Chu Ying's suggestion might not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Bu Yan glanced at Chu Ying and snorted coldly."Chu Ying, don't think that this Khan doesn't know that you want both Chahar and Great Ming to suffer! If Zhu Ke wins, you will be my gift to congratulate Zhu Ke on the establishment of his new army!”
With a cruel smile, Buyan waved his whip and ordered,""Charge forward and drive the Ye He Division into the pass!”
Sob…
As the horn sounded, Tatars rushed out from the left and right of Buyan. They ambushed and killed several of Chu Ying's retinues, then tied Chu Ying up like a dumpling and threw him on the horse's back.
Chu Ying didn't resist from beginning to end. He followed Buyan's army and approached Ye He's tribe, a bright smile on his face.
His plan had succeeded!
Just as the Qi Family's Army was slowly approaching the new army's 60-step radius…
A scout hurried to Zhu Ke's side and reported in a low voice.
Qi Jin couldn't help but feel suspicious. After the scout left, he asked,""What's wrong, Nephew?"
Zhu Ke's expression was grave as he said," That old thing Bu Yan has moved. He's leading his troops towards the Ye He Tribe. The Ye He Tribe is panicking and is moving towards Tartar Valley."”
Qi Jin couldn't help but frown." There are more than ten thousand soldiers in the pass right now. Buyan dares to attack with ten thousand cavalry?"”
Zhu Ke was also puzzled. This was different from the news brought back by Hai Zhongdi.
He didn't know what had happened outside the pass that made Bu Yan suddenly become bold enough to do such a strange and threatening action.
Even though he was somewhat uneasy, Zhu Ke still controlled his temper and calmly said,"This junior also thinks so, and has already ordered the scouts to closely monitor Buyan!”
"Thirty steps!" Ye Bangrong reminded him.
Zhu Ke, who was talking to Qi Jin, quickly turned his attention to the drill ground.
There was almost nothing to see in a shooting match thirty steps away. It was a test of the endurance of an army to death.
The next close combat was the key to determining victory.
