Pan Jiang, Zhao Kun, Han Cheng, Yi Kang, and Xiao Xiao had promoted seven people. Each of them was responsible for a hundred people.
After all, Xiao Xiao didn't have enough time and energy to teach seven hundred people.
It was much easier for seven people.
Xiao Xiao had already received the news that they would be leaving for the border in five days. Time was tight.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao racked his brain and finally thought of a way to quickly form combat strength. That was the famous mandarin duck formation of the later generations.
Thus, the seven hundred people were divided into five categories for specialized training.
Shield, spear, triangular spear, archer, rattan staff!
These were the troops needed for the simple mandarin duck formation.
Although most people weren't good with bows and crossbows, this was the advantage of the mandarin duck formation.
If he couldn't hit the target within fifty steps, what about five steps?
At the beginning of the training, many people did not understand why they still had to practice the rattan stick, but Xiao Xiao did not say anything and just let them continue practicing.
During this period, General Zhou came to take a look a few times. When he first came, he saw the neat and orderly formation of the new recruits. He saw that there was a leader in front of each square formation. He saw the waving of the banners.
Not to mention General Zhou, even the other soldiers were shocked.
They were all veterans, so they could naturally tell what was different from before. The most important thing was that this new recruit had already become Shi.
"General, I seem to understand why you admire Xiao Xiao so much.”
General Zhou's personal guards looked at the recruits who were no longer scattered like before. When they looked at the youth standing at the front, they could not help but be filled with admiration.
How could they know that General Zhou's shock was not any less than theirs, but even more so.
Only those who had led troops before understood how difficult it was to make soldiers submit. Without an unimaginable amount of time or experience of life and death, it was very difficult to make the soldiers return.
No one knew that when he asked for a position for Xiao Xiao. They had already made preparations to suppress it.
At this moment, General Zhou could not help but shake his head. His eyes were filled with surprise.
....
On the third day, Xiao Xiao didn't let the recruits train in the usual way. Instead, he began to form the mandarin duck formation.
To be honest, this array had always been known as the number one array. Xiao Xiao had a vague impression of it and only remembered one thing.
Unlike the legendary Eight Trigrams Formation, the Mandarin Duck Formation had recorded many glorious achievements in history after it was invented. In order to make himself and his recruits feel at ease, he gave it a try after combining them.
The final result did not disappoint anyone.
The mandarin duck formation can be attacked and defended. Not to mention the threat of arrows before they got close, once they got close, they would face spears, shields, and from time to time, they would be shot by the archers in the mandarin duck formation.
It was not easy to get close. Before he could unleash his full power, the weapon struck the cane and instantly fell out of his hand.
Fortunately, the weapons were all wrapped in cloth. Although it was painful, the recruits who had tried cheered one after another, as if they saw the hope of survival.
From this moment on, they looked at Xiao Xiao with respect.
The next two days of training passed in the blink of an eye. The order to set off was also issued. Seven hundred people stood neatly in the recruit camp, ready to go out at any time.
However, unlike before, although the 700 recruits were nervous, no one cried.
At the front of the team. General Zhou came to Xiao Xiao's side.
"Come back safely, I'll treat you to a drink!”
Looking at Xiao Xiao, a smile appeared on General Zhou's face. Even though he knew that the seven hundred plus people, including Xiao Xiao, were like men of sacrifice, he still hoped that Xiao Xiao and the others could come back alive.
However, he knew that it was just a thought.
Putting aside the fact that Great Qin had already started to declare war on the six countries, even Xiao Xiao himself would not have been able to return if he had not killed his enemies.
"Thank you, General!"
Xiao Xiao thanked him sincerely.
General Zhou did not owe him anything, but he had always valued him. He was even promoted to a centurion. He would never forget this kindness.
After talking for a while, it was almost time. General Zhou let them set off.
Before leaving, Xiao Xiao glanced at the large military camp behind him. He did not know when he would return from this trip.
His only regret was that he did not ask General Zhou to help him find the three of them.
Fourth Brother had been in the army for a year, and Eldest Brother and Third Brother had not seen each other for a few years.
After this farewell, she didn't know if there would be another chance in the future.
"Brothers, don't blame me!"
As he muttered, Xiao Xiao couldn't be bothered to wait for them to join the army and meet the boss and the others. In the end, what would happen after the boss found out?
Right now, he only wanted to be alone and walk on this path of revenge quietly.
If he did, he would apologize to his brothers in the future.
If he died, he wouldn't implicate Boss and the others.
..........
On the way to the border, there were more than 1,000 veterans following them. They said that they were going to Xianyang to escort food to the front line, but whether it was Xiao Xiao or the other recruits, they all knew the ins and outs of it.
At the end of the day, he was still worried that they would become deserters.
However, they also knew that they could not blame anyone. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame those who were killed that day.
