General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 373: Division of Forces (1)

Ji Xiaomu's words left a deep impression on everyone. Nothing can make people feel more accomplished than having their efforts recognized by others. They didn't think they were so great before. Just like the eldest brother said, they just wanted to survive in the troubled times. A few half-grown children could only steal and cheat all day long, and joining the army was their only way out.

The reason they fought hard on the battlefield was not for anything else but because they didn't want to lose any of their brothers. The eldest brother suffered the most injuries and he was always protecting them and blocking their wounds. Over time, no one wanted to see the eldest brother get hurt again and so they trained desperately. This was the origin of the Twelve Iron Riders.

Not for anything else, just to survive.

But now they feel like they are in the depths of the clouds, floating in the air, with an indescribable feeling. They never thought that someone would recognize them, or even actively sign up to join the army because of them.

You have to know that in the eyes of ordinary people, being a soldier means having one foot on the edge of life and death. It is either life or death, and the survival rate is not high. Even if you come back alive, you will not be a healthy person.

"I...can hardly believe it." Qin Wen covered his face, his eyes aching badly.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything we can do to repay them?" Lou Yu asked, with a light in his eyes that made people excited.

"Yes. Sister-in-law, what can we do for them?" asked Tie Laosan.

"I always feel like I need to do something for them, otherwise I'd be letting down their trust." Qin Wu also agreed, otherwise he would always feel like something was missing.

"The best reward you can give is to train them well! Let them have more hope of survival even on the battlefield. Nothing can make people happier than living a healthy life." Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen, Fang Chen thought for a moment and spoke.

"Brother, isn't it too harsh to use our method right at the start?" Upon hearing Fang Chen's words, everyone recalled their own training memories and immediately wanted to cheer for the new recruits.

You have to know that their training back then was so intense that even the generals at that time felt that they were torturing themselves, or that they just wanted to be remnant soldiers.

If the training intensity is too high and one cannot bear it any longer, he may be sent back as a wounded soldier without going to the battlefield.

"They are not suitable. You should reduce the intensity as appropriate." Fang Chen shook his head. Their intensity can only be maintained under specific conditions. These recruits are not suitable for such intensive training. They probably can't even last a day.

"Let's open their bones more and lay a good foundation first." Fang Chen added, "First strengthen their bodies, then practice their skills. If you teach them moves right away, it will just be a show."

"Yes." Several brothers responded.

"Training will begin in three days. You should take a closer look to see if there are any good talents and train them in batches." Fang Chen gave instructions.

"Brother, how many types of soldiers do you want to train?" Yang Hua asked.

"For defense, we don't need too strong offensive capabilities. Bows and arrows, and slingshots are necessary." Fang Chen analyzed, and everyone nodded.

Everyone knows that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As for defense, they occupy the advantageous terrain. As long as they take defensive measures, unless the enemy sneaks into the city or there is a traitor in the city who breaks through from inside, it is absolutely impossible for the foreign enemy to let them break into the city.

"Sister-in-law, do you have anything to add?" Xu Ziyang looked at Ji Xiaomu and asked.

After listening for a while, Ji Xiaomian shook her head and said, "I don't understand these things about war. You can make the decision. I will be responsible for logistics and replenish ammunition and food for you." Ji Xiaomian said with a smile.
