Year of Famine: Hunting in the Mountains with My Little Wife, a Granary Full of Meat

Liu Feng, a Mercenary, transmigrated into a Turbulent Times filled with wars on all sides.

The world was in chaos, wars raged endlessly, the Imperial Court was weak, and powerful local rulers we...

Chapter 553 The Soldier's Questions shuhaige.net

As a result, when it came to the second test, the cavalrymen found that the mountain road was rugged and the bamboo baskets were placed in a tricky position, some distance away from the mountain road.

In their view, all they had to do was reach out and throw it in.

But once I got started, I realized that it wasn't actually that easy.

Moreover, to be considered qualified, one must accurately place five stones into a bamboo basket.

Of course, Liu Feng's strictness was also a preparation for going to the battlefield.

Their accuracy would definitely be even higher once they were on the battlefield.

Because the tank is a bigger target.

However, the disadvantages on the battlefield are also more obvious, as the situation on the battlefield is not only constantly changing, but also has many unpredictable aspects.

Moreover, there are no dead targets on the battlefield, and the tanks are moving at high speeds.

Therefore, improving accuracy during training will better enhance lethality on the battlefield.

Linghu Yuanshan could tell from just looking at it that this matter was not simple, so when testing it on the path, he let the two best people go first.

These two were perceptive, and their swordsmanship was precise when using crossbows.

As a result, these people who were usually top-notch in horsemanship are now all listless.

He used to perform quite well when throwing from a fixed point, but now he's far from it.

After one round, out of ten stones, only four were thrown into the bamboo basket.

Linghu Yuanshan himself felt ashamed.

Next, Linghu Yuanshan, refusing to believe in superstition, went to test it himself. Thanks to his superior martial arts skills, he managed to throw in seven.

Now that's settled, even Linghu Yuanshan's abilities can't be 100% effective, the cavalrymen can't hold back any longer, and a few troublemakers have started to question things.

Why do we train to throw stones?

What good will this do?

Are we supposed to fight with stones on the battlefield?

Even if you practice until you can shoot 100% accurately every time, it still has no practical effect.

Upon hearing the voices of doubt from below, Liu Feng immediately frowned.

Linghu Yuanshan was even more anxious. This was the first time since Liu Feng took command of the troops that a voice of doubt had emerged.

What are these kids up to?

Did they eat the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?

Dare to question the Great General?

Linghu Yuanshan had only one feeling: he had selected these people himself and designed the training methods himself, yet now they were questioning the Grand General. This was a blatant slap in his own face.

To put it bluntly, it's because I didn't discipline them properly.

"Shut up, all of you."

"Look at who's standing in front of you!"

"Our invincible general will ensure you have enough to eat and wear."

"Who dares to nag me here?"

"Step forward."

The crowd behind fell silent, but five or six young men stepped forward.

"Are you all tired of living?"

Do you know what kind of behavior this is?

"Right now, you're disobeying orders during training. If you were on the battlefield, you would be causing unrest among the troops."

"Getting arrested means losing your head."

"The General always has his own plans. You have never fought alongside the General, so how could you possibly understand his deeper intentions?"

"Are you confused by what these veterans are saying?"

"Did you think that killing enemies, achieving merit, and getting married were easy things to do?"

They really are like that; I've heard plenty of stories about fighting from the veterans.

So at this point, I felt some resistance to this stone-throwing training.

"You want to know why?"

"You want to know what the purpose of training in stone throwing is?"

Liu Feng chuckled, his brows relaxing, but he didn't decide to punish the soldiers for their rudeness.

Leading troops is a skill, and it would be extremely unwise to whip or kill soldiers for a few words of doubt.

"Very well, since you want to know, I can tell you openly and honestly now."

"Brothers, this is a new technology I have just developed, and it is also our secret weapon to defeat the enemy."

"If you can practice throwing the stones in your hands into the bamboo basket with 100% accuracy, no matter what kind of interference you encounter, then you will be the most skilled soldiers under my command."

"Of course, this 'powerful' refers to the situation when you are using the special weapons I gave you."

"At that time, you will be like a sharp knife, ready to pierce the heart of the enemy at any time."

"Once you get to the battlefield, you will be a force like Asuras."

"The enemy will tremble with fear at the mere sight of you."

"And the people of Zhengde County, when they see you, will be proud of you."

"At that time, you will be famous and renowned throughout the world. When you return home in glory, you will be the pride of everyone, and your names will be engraved in stone."

Liu Feng's few words completely ignited the enthusiasm of these greenhorns.

Currently, the most powerful force in the entire Howling Army is Liu Lang's wolf cavalry.

They are the elite of the Howling Army, so they are respected wherever they go.

The brothers within the Tiger Roar Army loved and respected them even more.

After all, everyone only respects the strong.

In particular, during a previous selection, many of these people who used to be in the same barracks joined Liu Lang's heavy cavalry.

They were incredibly envious, but they were rejected and there was nothing they could do.

Entering the heavy cavalry, their warhorses are the best, each person is equipped with at least three horses, and their weapons and armor are the best in the entire Tiger Roar Army.
