The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

The training for the new recruits started at dawn every day and ended at sunset. It had been five days since they entered the military camp. Since that night, Qi Yu had never seen Duan Zhan again, and even the vanguard guards felt that they rarely met.

The new recruits had a lot of work and drills to do, with little time to breathe. It was very hard and tiring, but Qi Yu and Jiang Zhi topped the list. However, no one mentioned the deadline for the new recruit assessment, so everyone had to wait patiently.

Duan Zhan's camp was well-organized, and the soldiers were well-behaved. Duan Zhan's achievements seemed to shock them all. New recruits and veterans alike spoke of him with admiration and pride. Unfortunately, the famine in Lingnan gradually spread to the west. When Qi Yu first arrived at the camp, little had changed. Within a few days, improved food and reduced military expenses had already begun to alleviate the famine.

"Perhaps there is a way to get close to General Changfeng." Jiang Zhi suggested after he got accurate information and confirmed that the famine had affected the military camp.

"Do you intend to use Nian'er's power to 'restore the God' and attract Duan Xin's attention with supplies?"

Qi Yu had thought about doing this, but although he was not very familiar with Duan Zhan, he had some understanding of him. A general on the battlefield was suspicious by nature. He was responsible for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and would never trust the words of an unknown "god". He was afraid that if he investigated too carefully, his secrets would be exposed, and it might backfire.

"The famine in the northwest has only just begun and hasn't spread widely yet. The entire military camp is simply tightening their belts, and it hasn't reached the point where they're starving. The general hasn't sent anyone out to find a solution. What do you think the outcome of your suggestion will be?"

You will be mistaken for an imperial spy, and people will misunderstand that you are approaching with a purpose, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Jiang Zhi pursed his lips and was about to offer the technology of building greenhouses and electric plows to Duan Zhan when a horn suddenly sounded outside the tent.

"Oh no, the enemy is coming."

Soon, the roar of the infantry captain was heard outside.

"Enemy surprise attack, all soldiers, listen up, assemble~"

Qi Yu and Jiang Zhi quickly rushed out of the tent. On the beacon tower in the distance, the sentries had already lit the beacon fire and raised two beacons when the enemy entered the country.

"They entered the country late at night and planned to launch a surprise attack on our army. Soldiers, are you confident that you can repel the enemy?" Vanguard Wei Wuyu, who had not been seen for a few days, was dressed in armor and looked majestic.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, holding wooden spears, shouted majestically, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"The enemy has entered our Great Jin territory. Soldiers, follow me and kill them!"

The vanguard guard put on a red cloak, quickly arranged the formation, divided into four teams in the east, west, south and north, and was the first to jump on the warhorse, holding a steel knife and leading the troops to charge out.

Qi Yu belonged to the new recruit team and was assigned to the team guarding the north gate.

Led by the infantry captain, each of them marched towards the north gate with their weapons.

The military camp has four gates, namely east, west, south and north, and the north gate is the easiest to defend and the most difficult to attack. Why would it be handed over to new recruits?

Qi Yu had a bold idea, "I'm afraid this is an assessment of the new recruits."

Jiang Zhi's body stiffened behind him, and he quickly understood the deep meaning in His Highness's eyes. He followed closely behind His Highness. Before the new recruits reached the north gate, they saw enemy soldiers climbing up from the city wall with long ladders hanging from the wall. The enemy soldiers below were holding artillery shells.

"Whoever dares to offend the Great Jin will be punished!"

The infantry captain raised his spear, roared, and rushed forward with everyone.

There were many enemy troops at the north gate, and their blue uniforms were mixed with their fiery red armor, and our soldiers were soon overwhelmed.

The moment the city gate opened, Qi Yu and Jiang Zhi rushed out from the left and right behind the captain.

With a loud bang, the enemy's artillery shells exploded towards everyone.

"Jiang Wei, be careful."

Qi Yu roared, but because he was too far away from Jiang Zhi, he couldn't pay attention. Jiang Zhi turned around and glanced at His Highness, rolled forward to avoid the cannonball, and hid behind a beacon tower. When he looked at His Highness again, he saw that he had already rushed out with a spear in hand.

"Dian...Brother, I'm here to help you."

Jiang Zhi tiptoed and easily crossed the artillery position, but unfortunately, before he could get close to His Highness, he was entangled by the enemy.

In the distance, a man in casual clothes stood on the highest beacon tower in the camp, holding a spyglass in his hand and looking carefully at the north gate.

"Is this the master and servant you mentioned?"

Duan Zhan handed the telescope to Wu Yu beside him. Wu Yu took the clairvoyance and quickly found the two brave figures. He said gruffly, "Those two are the ones. They say they're brothers, but they look like master and servant. They're agile and skilled, but they're incredibly skilled. General, do you think we should bring them to the main tent?"

In the dead of night, the two men moved like swimming dragons, their moves were fierce and their movements were swift.

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred 'enemy soldiers' were killed.

But Duan Zhan seemed unconcerned. "No matter who you are, once you join my army, you are my soldiers, soldiers of the Great Jin. As long as you two have no ulterior motives, I will use you."

Duan Zhan left the words behind and continued to observe the others with his spyglass.

That's right, tonight is the recruit assessment that he arranged on the spur of the moment. He specially chose it late at night and asked the soldiers of the elite battalion to dress up as enemy soldiers to test the combat capabilities of the recruits. As long as they pass the assessment, he will continue to keep them in the barracks for training.

My emperor values ​​talent, and so does he. He only wishes to recruit more agile men, both civil and military, to join the army and fight for the Jin Dynasty.

"General, the master and servant are missing."

Suddenly, Wu Yu was shocked.

Duan Zhan immediately snatched the spyglass from his hand. Sure enough, no matter how hard he searched, he could not see the two agile figures.

Although he had arranged this exercise in advance, only he and the vanguard guard beside him knew about it. The image of the soldier Youlong immediately appeared in his mind. Duan Zhan was afraid of an accident, so he threw the spyglass to Wu Yu and turned away.

But almost a moment later, there was a muffled "bang" sound behind them. The two of them staggered, and then there was the sound of the city gate exploding.

"The sound comes from the west." Wu Yu immediately recovered from the roar. He quickly picked up the telescope and observed carefully. The clairvoyance allowed him to see the scene thousands of miles away. After seeing it, Wu Yu was shocked, "General, it's the enemy."

The real enemy is coming.

This exercise was specifically designed for the new recruits. So, after he'd ordered his men to the four city gates, veterans pretended to guard the east, south, and west gates, while their own troops disguised themselves as enemy soldiers and engaged the new recruits in battle. The north gate was now under fire, a true enemy assault.

He had been planning this exercise for a long time. Why would the enemy launch a surprise attack tonight?

There is only one possibility, there is a spy in the military camp.

The master and servant disappeared just before the bombardment.

"Front Guard!"

"The humble position is here!"

Duan Zhan put on his armor as he walked, and Wu Yu followed closely behind him, with cold sweat already dripping down his forehead.

If those two were really spies, he would be in big trouble if he recruited soldiers this time.

"Follow me to the battle!"

Duan Zhan put on his armor, pointed at the spear, put his thumb under his lips and whistled. He then jumped down from the city wall with his tall figure and landed accurately on a BMW that came after hearing the whistle.

Duan Zhan said to Wu Yu who was following him, "Find those two and kill them right there!"
