Chapter 230 Departure
This group of recruits were selected for training from the two villages of Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village by Zhou Xu before winter.
Now being transferred to Prairie Village is naturally related to his actions after the spring.
This whole thing can only be said to be a failure of plans to keep up with changes.
Before winter, Zhou Xu’s original plan was to mobilize troops after spring. At that time, Zhou Chongshan would take the trained rattan armor soldiers to the barren mountain village to collect the primitive tribes entrenched in the mountains. While expanding manpower, it also expands territory.
As for himself, he is stationed on the Prairie Village side, because he has the power to control the skeleton soldiers. One person is a skeleton army. It should be the safest for him to be stationed on the Prairie Village side.
But now the situation is a little different.
On the one hand, they have eliminated the threats on the grassland in advance. Now they have become the dominant force in the grassland, and the threats and pressure they need to withstand have become smaller.
On the other hand, it was because there were changes in Huangshan Village.
According to the news sent back by Shi Lei, there seemed to be a time traveler on the opposite side, which forced Zhou Xu to pay more attention.
For insurance reasons, he still had to make the trip himself.
In this way, after the spring begins, if he plans to take the vine armor soldiers to Barren Mountain Village, Prairie Village will definitely need enough troops to take charge.
That’s why he specially trained this group of new soldiers to ensure the peace of Prairie Village during that time.
“Chief!”
I haven’t seen Zhou Xu for a long time, and now Zhou Chongshan is really a little excited.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu patted his shoulder.
“Everything is going well?”
“It’s going well!”
“Go back to the house, put the things away, and train with us tomorrow to get used to it. For a moment.”
Considering Zhou Chongshan’s condition, Zhou Xu had no intention of letting him lead the team for training as soon as he came back.
Different from the previous situation where he trained for a total of six hours a day when he was injured, the formal training here in Prairie Village is basically more than eight hours, and the intensity of the training items is also higher.
Their training was already very heavy and the schedule was very tight. Zhou Zhongshan even used his rest time to do extra training for himself. It was difficult not to accumulate muscle fatigue.
After making simple arrangements for Zhou Chongshan, Zhou Xu's eyes quickly fell on the ten recruits who stood up straight in a row after getting off the bullock cart.
At this moment, his gaze made the ten recruits tighten their bodies even more.
Looking at the current performance of the recruits, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"Li Ce."
"Arrived!"
"Ten recruits, I will leave them to you. There is not much time left before the spring begins. I want you to get them in the shortest possible time. Keep up with the initial training here and master the riding skills!”
“Yes!”
It is no exaggeration to say that aside from the most basic food issues, the most important thing is on the grassland! The most important thing is riding skills. If you master the riding skills, you will have a solid foundation.
Under the leadership of Li Ce, the recruits who were familiar with the environment and facilities here had expressions on their faces that could not conceal their excitement, nervousness and longing for the future.
This made the soldiers who were resting after the morning training couldn't help but smile a little.
Training days are boring, and they have to find some fun for themselves.
The recruits were ordinary people before and had not received any training, so when they were first recruited, the training intensity was gradual and generally not too high, just to lay a foundation for them.
But their regular team is different, and some of them will probably cry when the time comes.
At this time, the veterans have begun to make bets among themselves. Don't forget that there is an ordinary army below them, and they are just betting on how many of them they can get.
But these things are not what Zhou Xu needs to worry about.
At this moment, he is busy preparing to transport armaments to the barren mountain village.
Needless to say, his ‘arms’ are those skeletons!
Especially the two skeletons of extraordinary creatures, because the heads were the same as those of a car, it was particularly difficult to transport them.
For this reason, Zhuang Mengdie's equipment department specially upgraded a large wooden cart that required two oxen to pull it, so that it could be successfully placed on it in an even and orderly manner.
The reason why we started transporting these skeletons now is because according to Zhou Xu’s idea, he plans to mobilize troops as soon as spring begins!
The primitive tribe who had just survived a winter must be all weak now, which would make it easier for him to take it down.
But if he waits until spring to start transporting these things, it will be time-consuming.
It turns out that considering his current abilities, he is indeed not suitable for running around, fighting around, and moving to another place is too strenuous.
You know, his pre-war work has just begun.
In the busy pre-war work, time passed quietly.
Although the weather has not completely warmed up yet, according to Zhou Xu’s experience, the daytime temperature here can basically be maintained above ten degrees. Zhou Xu is not a person who is particularly afraid of the cold. It is said that if it is above ten degrees, the cold is basically gone.
During this period, the initial training of the ten recruits was basically completed.
Although every one of them cried for father and mother after being trained by Li Ce, what was surprising was that the ten recruits actually managed to survive.
Of course, for the recruits, this is just the beginning, and the following training will only become more and more tiring!
Time did not wait for anyone during this period, and soon the day came for Zhou Xu and the others to set off.
Since he plans to launch troops as soon as spring begins, he definitely needs to leave before spring.
Compared with the veterans, the ten recruits who were transferred later undoubtedly still have a gap, and the gap is not small.
But considering that their next main task is to garrison the Prairie Village and they don't need to go out to fight, so the problem is not big.
However, out of caution, Zhou Xu still asked Li Ce to stay in the grassland village.
As for Zhou Chongshan, he must take him away. After all, from the report Shi Lei sent back before, he knew that among the primitive people on the opposite side, there were guys who were quite capable of fighting.
Bringing Zhou Chongshan along was undoubtedly to guard against this.
"Jinghong, Li Ce, after we leave, the matters in Prairie Village will be left to you!"
"Please rest assured, leader! We promise to complete the mission!"
Although Li Ce felt a little disappointed that he could not accompany him to fight, he also knew that in Prairie Village, as the village chief Ye Jinghong has many daily affairs to be busy with. Under this premise, ten recruits also need to be taken care of, so he can completely understand this arrangement.
After briefly explaining the matter to Ye Jinghong and Li Ce, Zhou Xu turned his attention to Qiantose who was sitting beside him.
"Chitose, the village is counting on you!"
Chitose listened and raised his head.
Over a period of time, with the increase in food intake, Chitose has also become bigger. He is not yet a year old, but his body length has reached 1.5 meters, and his body shape is also burly. At a glance, he seems to have a baby. The posture of a beast.
This time, he had no intention of taking Chitose with him.
In his opinion, the combat power arranged this time is completely sufficient.
Under this premise, Prairie Village is also very important to him and cannot be lost.
Although Ye Jinghong and Li Ce were in charge, Zhou Xu was still a little worried considering the situation of the ten recruits. Keeping Chitose behind was an extra layer of insurance.
