After the run around the city was over, the three teams gathered together and walked back slowly. Finally, they entered the barracks together.
Each barrack was occupied by one person. On both sides of the barracks were two bunks. One bunk could sleep eight people.
There were 30 to 40 people sitting together in the room, chatting. However, it was summer, and with so many people, the room was filled with the stench of sweat. The soldiers did not care, and Fang Yun did not mind at all because he was one of them.
As Fang Yun listened to the conversation of these soldiers, he understood even more why General Yu did not want him to change his name. He was afraid that he would accidentally spill the beans. The main reason was that the military was different from other places. The channels of communication were very narrow and the social circle was very small.
The communication between the soldiers in a team was very frequent. There were ten teams in a battalion and the communication between different teams was less. Most of the ordinary soldiers in different battalions did not know each other.
Fang Yun estimated that soon, only the people in this battalion would know about him. It would be difficult for the other battalions to know about him. As for the other guards, the possibility of it being spread outside of Dinghai was almost zero.
The military was a place where competition was prevalent but it was also a place where the strong were worshipped. Now that Fang Yun had displayed his strength, these people treated him as a descendant of the military and quickly accepted him.
The Chief Of Police was not afraid of Fang Yun snatching their positions. They knew that if Fang Yun wanted to be an official, he could at least be a Secondary Grade Nine Lieutenant. There would not be any conflict with them.
Fang Yun knew more about the art of war, military intelligence, formations and other macro aspects. However, he had never been a soldier. Therefore, he listened very carefully and understood the military camp from all aspects. This was because a small detail could determine the success or failure of a battle.
These soldiers talked about everything. Sirens, Dragons, women, training, officers and so on. It was as if Fang Yun was watching all kinds of military situations unfold in front of him. Some of the details were very important to the art of war and military command.
According to the rules, everyone had to train after three o 'clock. However, because they were running around the city, the three teams did not train and kept chatting. After dinner, they gathered together to chat.
Because of the relationship with Fang Yun, this powerful recruit, the veterans were very happy. Fang Yun often asked some things that he did not know, which made the veterans talk non-stop. Some even argued because of different opinions.
It was not until nine o 'clock at night that people started to fall asleep one after another.
The next day, at half past five, the morning bell rang, and all the soldiers of the Jade Sea Mansion woke up one after another.
A group of burly men wearing only underwear began to wash up. Every one of them had a strong physique, and some of them had even stronger Qi and blood than ordinary demon soldiers.
After that, the three teams chatted and laughed as they went to the canteen of the 1st Battalion for a meal.
Seven o 'clock in the morning. The barracks of Ding Hai Army were all empty. Tens of thousands of people lined up and ran out of the barracks. Jogging for an hour was a common practice in the army. It was the best way to train soldiers 300 years ago by a Half-saint who was good at training soldiers.
After jogging, the 20 battalions of the Dinghai Navy started to train in different subjects.
Fang Yun's 2nd Guard 1st Battalion started with weapons, while Fang Yun started with archery.
With Literary Courage, Fang Yun's control over his body far surpassed these soldiers. His arrows never missed, and every arrow hit the center of the target. There was no difference between shooting a moving target and shooting a fixed target. He had already practiced the shooting of the Gentleman's Six Arts to perfection.
"Godly archer!" Everyone couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Even the people from the other teams were secretly amazed.
Although the archers had to shoot all the time, they also carried knives with them. Fang Yun practiced the saber for another fifteen minutes. His knife skills were average, but after all, he had gone through Talent Qi Empowerment four times. His strength and reaction surpassed all the other students, causing many people to cheer.
After he finished training his weapons. He started to practice his military formation. There were 10 teams in the 1st Battalion. Under the command of the Battalion Commander, they started to set up their formation or charge in a conical formation. Or they used a circular formation to defend. It constantly changed to deal with different situations, testing the soldiers' abilities.
Half an hour later, Fang Yun's battalion and the other five battalions formed the 1st Guard and practiced their formation together. The formation of 3000 people was more complicated. The soldiers often made small mistakes, but the comrades beside them constantly reminded them, allowing the formation to continue.
In the end, the 3rd Battalion cooperated with the Juren Battalion Commander to attack. It was already close to a drill. Every time the Battalion Commander used a large-scale battle poem, he would command the troops to move.
Although it was Fang Yun's first time in the army, he was more familiar with the formations and orders of the army than the veterans. He didn't make a single mistake. Sometimes he even corrected the mistakes of the veterans beside him and taught them how to understand the formation. Fang Yun's words were easy to understand. The veterans around him understood immediately.
"As expected of the successor of the military!" Everyone was full of admiration.
Now, no one doubted that he was Fang Yun, the role model of the literati.
After the drill ended, each team summarized the results. Someone reported the matter of Fang Yun teaching the veterans to Captain Shi. Captain Shi praised Fang Yun and then let everyone have lunch.
The lunch break was very long. After a short nap, Fang Yun's barracks became more and more crowded. Soon, it became a gathering place for almost 50 people. This was rare before.
Today, many veterans asked Fang Yun questions about the formation of the army. Fang Yun used the simplest words to answer them. However, there were some questions that even Fang Yun didn't know the answer to. After all, there were many situations that he hadn't encountered before. He wrote down the questions and said that he would think about it in the future. Once he had an answer, he would tell that person.
Some people not only asked about the formation of the army, but also asked about the usage of weapons and how to deal with the enemy. Occasionally, there would be discussions, and Fang Yun would also hear some useful things.
After the 3pm break, Fang Yun had accumulated more than 20 questions. Some of these questions were ones that he really didn't know the answer to. Some of them required time to think about.
The second round of the drill was from 3pm to 5pm. Fang Yun participated in it while thinking about the questions.
Fang Yun discovered a problem in the military. The so-called art of war and military books were all mastered by the mid-level generals. For example, the captains, sergeants, and Chief Of Police at most read some of the art of war by themselves. Most of the time, they weren't very clear about the use of the art of war, mainly because no one explained it to them in detail.
Now, I still don't know much about training soldiers. When I have enough experience, I have to think of a way to write a training manual for the soldiers at the basic level. I have to use the simplest and most straightforward language to tell them what to do, why to do, and the consequences of not doing so.
Fang Yun shook his head. It wasn't that the higher-level strategists didn't know, but that they knew too much. Because all kinds of methods were clearly written in military books, everyone could read them. Moreover, the more powerful strategists could even control the formation of the soldiers, so they didn't care about the thoughts of the soldiers at the basic level.
There is a lack of military education at the basic level. If the military is strengthened, there might be more strategists.
Fang Yun took advantage of the night's rest to go to the military's library to look for books on military training. While memorizing, he could also form new books in the world of strange books.
The use of military books was very broad. For example, the [Ten Formations Scroll] in the [Sun Bin's Art of War] could be used to control the formation of a million soldiers, allowing every soldier to appear in the right place. It was enough to increase the strength of the entire army by 20% to 30%. The use was huge.
Formations were the highest level of military strategy, and there were very few books on formations.
When it was close to midnight, Fang Yun left the library and rushed back to the barracks. Close to 50 people from the third team were already standing in front of the door. After a while, Captain Shi appeared and led everyone away. Finally, they met up with the rest of the 1st Battalion at the entrance of the barracks and received the blessing of a Grand Scholar's [Chang Wu].
Under the night sky, 500 people from the 1st Battalion left the Dinghai barracks. They left the East Vice City and started patrolling.
The East Vice City's Jade Sea Harbor was an important place in Jingguo. The Jade Sea Prefecture was too big, and the harbor was already out of the range of the Jade Sea Prefecture's Holy Temple. The harbor was guarded by the great scholar Zhen Wen. However, the great scholar Zhen Wen would not attack the small demons far away, so the harbor was often harassed by the river demons and sea demons.
The demons at the demon general level were still rational and would consider the gains and losses before taking action. However, the demons were not intelligent. They were always thinking about eating humans, and this gave the humans a headache.
The existence of the patrolling team was to prevent the demons from accidentally entering and harming others, or to prevent them from discovering potential dangers. After all, the demons had many ways to deceive the great scholar Zhen Wen in a short period of time.
The 500 people were divided into 10 teams. Before they separated, Jin Yingxiao asked everyone to be alert. This was because Li Wenying had gone to the Yangtze River to kill demons a few days ago. According to the usual practice, the river demons would take revenge on the Jade Sea Prefecture. This kind of attack on the provincial army and not the civilians would not trigger Li Wenying's personal retaliation.
The 10 teams separated, with each team half a mile apart. This way, if any team had a problem, the nearest team would be able to discover it.
The night by the sea was dark and quiet. Occasionally, there would be the sound of waves crashing against the shore or the sound of sand washing over the beach. The ordinary soldiers held torches, but the students had night vision and could clearly see everything around them.
The east side of Jade Sea City was the Eastern Sea, and the south side was the Yangtze River. The 500 people patrolling team patrolled the shore between the Eastern Sea, Yangtze River, and Jade Sea Prefecture.
According to Jin Yingxiao's orders, everyone paid more attention to the Yangtze River. After all, it was the river demons taking revenge and not the sea demons taking revenge.
The night was dark. After two hours, under the increasingly cold sea breeze, the soldiers' spirits were worn down, and they were no longer as vigilant as before.
Hong Cheng was no longer as serious as before. He smiled at Fang Yundao: "How is it? Are you used to patrolling in the middle of the night?"
"It's alright."
"Have you killed sea demons before?" Hong Cheng asked.
"I've killed river demons, but not sea demons. Normally, sea demons are stronger than river demons, right?" Fang Yundao asked.
"Of course. We know you are strong, but sea demons are different. Don't be scared. If there are two to three hundred sea demons, it will be hard for our three battalions to deal with them. Can you handle it? "Hong Cheng asked.
Fang Yundao knew that Hong Cheng was trying to provoke him. He smiled at the Eastern Sea and said: "Sea demons are also demons, there is nothing to be afraid of. Yi? Is that the sea demons? No! "
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw three layers of huge waves rising from the sea and rushing towards the shore. Each layer was higher than the previous one and each layer was dozens of feet wide and dozens of miles long. On the huge waves, there were densely packed river demons but they weren't sea demons.
In the middle of the sea demons, there was a huge flood dragon head. Just its head alone was as big as a house.
"Not good!" Hong Cheng and many others immediately took out the official seal, wanting to tear it apart as a warning.
However, a formless energy separated Jade Sea City from the outside. Soon after, everyone discovered that they were standing in the middle of Jade Sea City. However, the buildings in the city were translucent.
"Fata Morgana!" Many of the old soldiers involuntarily cried out, their faces pale.
