Chapter 50: Alternative Training
Bai Li doesn't want to waste words and prefers to prove himself through actions.
So, that morning, with Nangong Min's approval, all the soldiers on the school training ground, except those who were not present on a mission, were pulled by Bai Li to "train".
After a morning of this, the school training ground was filled with wailing.
From this moment on, the soldiers looked at Bai Li with fear in their eyes.
No one dared to meet her gaze anymore, for fear of being caught and "exchanged" with her.
It was also from this day that Bai Li was dubbed the "female devil". Everyone avoided her and was terrified when talking about her.
"See? This is strength, this is what a soldier should be like!"
Nangong Min seized the opportunity to cheer up the soldiers, and they were so excited that they wanted to cry.
How can these flesh and blood bodies compare with the female devil?
Has anyone ever seen a little girl sweeping through a huge enemy army while breathing steadily and keeping her expression unchanged?
That's not a human being at all, okay?!
Nangong Min talked for a long time, explaining Bai Li's moves, skills, reaction ability, and many other aspects. Her only purpose was to get everyone to practice with her.
Shangguan Yu looked at him with confusion, as if he didn't know him.
When did the master, who used to be very frugal with words, become so talkative?
Bai Li waited until he finished speaking before whispering, "Can my soldiers train freely? Unrestricted freedom?"
"Where do you want to take them for training? Is it convenient for you to take others with you?"
Bai Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If possible, she didn't even want to lead her own soldiers.
She had originally thought of taking a few people to the mountains to hunt to improve their food, but now she was asked to take thousands of cowards out with her. What could they do? Go up the mountain to chop firewood?
"I'm just a small team leader. I don't have the authority to lead so many people."
"Also, let's ask in advance if we can cook on our own after hunting prey without interrupting our training."
"You're taking them hunting?"
"Why not? In the mountains, we must always be vigilant and prepared for any emergencies. This is much more practical than the rigid training on the school training ground.
Moreover, these soldiers have poor food and insufficient nutrition. Their bodies are like weak chickens, their fists are like women's, and they have no strength at all!
Shangguan Yu wanted to roll his eyes. Could it be that she was not a woman?
Yes, she is a tough guy, how can she be a woman at all?
"The soldiers can eat their fill every day, with whole grain steamed buns and whole grain bread. This is much better than the simple food they eat at home!"
Captain Mu couldn't help but complain, "The Great Zhou treasury is empty, and the food the soldiers eat is a little worse than that of the soldiers in the neighboring countries, but it's much better than that of Laos!"
"Are you sure?"
Bai Li thought of the fat yaks and thought that Laotians should have no shortage of meat.
You know, meat is the main source of protein. Last night I saw the Laotians chasing us, and they were all tall and strong. Do you think they are short of food?
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are obviously shorter than others. It is because of severe malnutrition that their height is affected, right?
Captain Mu thought of the Laotians he had dealt with before. They were short in stature and had pale faces. He nodded in confirmation and affirmation.
Nangong Min frowned and thought about what Bai Li said about nutrition and how it affects height.
Could it be that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty suffered many defeats was because its soldiers were not as physically fit as others?
Nodding in agreement, Bai Li took the group to free training. Everyone on the school training ground breathed a sigh of relief and observed a moment of silence for the Vanguard Team. They were dragged outside by the female devil, and it was lucky enough that they came back alive with half their lives.
I secretly felt lucky that I was not a vanguard and did not have to be abused by the female devil.
After Bai Li left, Nangong Min paced beside the school training ground and thought about life.
Bai Li’s words just now were like a revelation to him.
For decades, the Great Zhou had been plagued by wars, both large and small, every year. With the exception of General Bai, who rarely suffered defeat, all the other generals had suffered defeats to varying degrees. The reason was that the soldiers didn't have meat to eat?!
But even if they knew, there would be nothing they could do. The Great Zhou was not a strong country, and corrupt officials at all levels withheld military pay, so the soldiers were lucky enough to be able to barely fill their stomachs.
The Southwestern Li family army suffered an even more disastrous defeat in the Pingxi battle a year ago. General Li was nearly killed, and his eldest son lost an arm and is now a disabled person.
However, if the soldiers of the entire Great Zhou cannot be taken care of, the soldiers under his Nangong family can still take care of some of them. The required military expenses will definitely be paid by the family, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the emperor.
On this day, Bai Li took the fifty-member vanguard team to the mountain for "training".
"You go from this hill to that hill and back again. The one with the most prey wins.
The top three will be rewarded with a special prey!"
"Really? I haven't eaten meat in a long time!"
"This captain keeps his word!"
"Okay, what are you waiting for, run!"
"Remember! You have to bring your own life back!"
Bai Li roared at their backs, not knowing whether these new recruits would be eaten by wild wolves. Forget it, he decided to go and see for himself!
As soon as they arrived at the forest, the three little ones in the space couldn't hold back any longer and started clamoring to come out.
Bai Li was most afraid of being annoyed, so he let them out whenever he wanted to, just giving them a task.
"Follow them and report any danger immediately!"
The three little ones ran away chirping like birds out of a cage.
Bai Li unexpectedly discovered that King Kong was like a flash of golden light, leaving only a residual shadow, and ran faster than its mother Golden Hair!
Bai Li became interested and wanted to compete with King Kong, so he stretched out his legs and chased after him like a gust of wind.
King Kong is just like a three-year-old child who is having fun. When he sees his owner chasing him, he will deliberately run around trying to get rid of his owner.
When it turned around and saw no one, it stopped and looked around blankly. Suddenly, Bai Li appeared in front of it, scaring it.
Bai Li ran away with a smile, and King Kong chased after her angrily.
The golden retriever helplessly watched the big and small playing hide-and-seek. When he was tired of chasing them, he simply gave up and went alone to find a fruit tree to pick some fruit to eat.
It’s a pity that the owner didn’t give them any fruit to eat.
You know, the golden retriever family’s favorite food is various fruits.
Only Black Hawk followed the Vanguard Team obediently. It didn't even know that the other two teammates had forgotten their mission while playing.
Bai Li played for about half an hour, but he was still worried about his soldiers. After harvesting a wild boar, a dozen rabbits and more than twenty pheasants, he ran towards the team members.
At this time, in front of a mountain wall, the deputy captain of the vanguard team, He Dalin, was complaining bitterly.
The captain brought the people up the mountain, patted his butt and left, leaving him alone to be responsible for the safety of dozens of people. He wanted to curse.
Everyone had scattered, and when he followed a dozen people here, he encountered a group of wild boars.
You know, wild boars have thick skin and flesh, which makes it difficult for ordinary swords to cut through them. Also, because they are irritable and have strong attack power, they are more difficult to deal with than tigers that will not easily provoke humans.
