Chapter 230 Departure
Zhou Xu had given orders before winter to select this group of new soldiers from the Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village for training.
Being transferred to Caoyuan Village now is naturally related to his actions after the spring.
This whole thing can only be described as plans failing to keep up with changes.
Before winter, Zhou Xu's original plan was to mobilize troops after the spring. At that time, Zhou Chongshan would take the trained rattan armor soldiers to Huangshan Village to recruit the primitive tribes entrenched in the mountains, expanding the territory while expanding the manpower.
As for himself, he would be stationed in the grassland village. Since he had the power to control the skeleton soldiers, one person was a skeleton army. It would be the safest thing for him to be stationed in the grassland village.
But now the situation is a little different.
On the one hand, they have already eliminated the threats on the grassland in advance, and now have become the overlord of the grassland, so the threats and pressures they need to bear have become smaller.
On the other hand, there were also changes in Huangshan Village.
According to the information Shi Lei had sent back before, there seemed to be a time traveler on the other side, which forced Zhou Xu to be more careful.
To be on the safe side, he still had to make this trip in person.
In this case, when he plans to lead the rattan armor soldiers to Huangshan Village after the spring, the grassland village will definitely need enough troops to stay there.
That's why he specially trained this group of new recruits in order to ensure the peace in the grassland village during that period.
"leader!"
Zhou Chongshan hadn't seen Zhou Xu for a long time, and he was really excited at this moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu patted his shoulder.
"Everything is fine?"
"That's neat!"
"Go back to your room and put your things away. Then follow along with the training tomorrow to get used to it."
Considering Zhou Chongshan's situation, Zhou Xuke did not plan to let him lead the team in training as soon as he returned.
Unlike the previous time when he was injured and trained for a total of six hours a day, the formal training in Prairie Village is basically more than eight hours, and the intensity of the training programs is also higher.
Their training was already very strenuous and the schedule was very tight. Zhou Chongshan even arbitrarily used his rest time to train himself more, so it was hard not to accumulate muscle fatigue.
After making simple arrangements for Zhou Chongshan, Zhou Xu's eyes quickly fell on the ten new recruits who got off the ox cart and lined up in a row, standing straight.
At this moment, his gaze made the ten recruits tense up even more.
Looking at the current performance of the recruits, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"Li Ce."
"arrive!"
"Ten new recruits are in your charge. There's not much time left before the spring. I want you to get them up to speed with the initial training here and to master riding skills in the shortest possible time!"
"yes!"
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the most basic food issue, the most important thing on the grassland is riding skills. If you master riding skills, you will have a solid foundation.
Under the leadership of Li Ce, the new recruits who were familiar with the environment and facilities here had expressions of excitement, nervousness and anticipation for the future on their faces.
This made the soldiers, who had just finished their morning training and were resting, couldn't help but smile.
The training days are boring, and they always have to find some fun for themselves.
New recruits were ordinary people before and had not received any training, so when they were first recruited, the intensity of training was gradual and generally not too high, just to lay a foundation for them.
But the regular team on their side is different, and they will probably cry when the time comes.
By now the veterans had begun placing bets among themselves.
Don't forget that they have an ordinary force under them, and they are now just gambling on how many of them they can wipe out.
However, these things are not something Zhou Xu needs to worry about.
At this moment he was busy preparing to transport arms to Huangshan Village.
Needless to say, his 'armament' is exactly those skeletons!
Especially the skeletons of the two extraordinary creatures, because their heads were as big as a car, they were particularly difficult to transport.
For this purpose, Zhuang Mengdie's equipment department specially upgraded a large wooden cart that required two oxen to pull, so that it could be successfully and stably placed there.
The reason why these skeletons are being transported now is because according to Zhou Xu's idea, he intends to mobilize troops as soon as spring comes! The primitive tribes that have just survived a winter must be weak at this moment, which will make it easier for him to capture them.
But if he waits until spring to start transporting these things, it will take time.
It turns out that considering his current abilities, he is indeed not suited to running around, fighting everywhere, and moving around is simply too tiring.
You know, his pre-war work has just begun.
Time passed quietly in the busy pre-war work.
Although the weather has not yet completely warmed up, according to Zhou Xu's feeling, the daytime temperature here can basically be maintained above ten degrees. Zhou Xu is not a person who is particularly afraid of cold. For him, temperatures above ten degrees are basically a farewell to the cold.
During this period, the initial training of the ten recruits was basically completed.
Although each of them was tortured to tears by Li Ce's training, surprisingly, the ten new recruits actually managed to hold on.
Of course, for the new recruits, this is just the beginning. The following training will only become more and more tiring! Time waits for no one, and soon it is the day when Zhou Xu and his team are going to set off.
Since he planned to mobilize his troops as soon as spring came, he must set off before spring.
Compared with the veterans, the ten new recruits who were transferred in later undoubtedly still had a gap, and the gap was not small.
But considering that their next main task is to garrison the grassland village and they are not required to go out to fight, it is not a big problem.
However, out of caution, Zhou Xu still let Li Ce stay in Caoyuan Village to take charge.
As for Zhou Chongshan, he would definitely take him away. After all, from the report Shi Lei sent back before, he knew that there were some very capable fighters among the primitive people on the opposite side.
Bringing Zhou Chongshan along was undoubtedly to guard against this.
"Jinghong, Li Ce, after we leave, the affairs of Caoyuan Village will be handed over to you!"
"Please rest assured, Chief! We promise to complete the mission!"
Although Li Ce felt a little disappointed that he could not go to the battle with them, he also knew that Ye Jinghong, as the village chief of Caoyuan Village, had many daily affairs to deal with. Under this premise, the ten new recruits also needed someone to lead them, so he could fully understand this arrangement.
After briefly explaining the matter to Ye Jinghong and Li Ce, Zhou Xu turned his attention to Qiansui who was sitting beside them.
"Chitose, I'm counting on you to save the village!"
After hearing this, Qiansui raised his head.
Over a period of time, as his appetite increased, Qiansui became bigger. Not even one year old, his body length had reached 1.5 meters, and his build was sturdy. At first glance, he looked like a ferocious beast.
This time, he didn't plan to bring Qiansui with him.
In his opinion, the combat force arranged this time is completely sufficient.
Under this premise, Caoyuan Village is also very important to him and cannot be lost.
Even though Ye Jinghong and Li Ce were in charge, Zhou Xu was still somewhat worried considering the situation of the ten new recruits. Leaving Qiansui behind was like an extra layer of insurance.
