I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 134: The beginning of war, the beginning of breaking old habits

As the dawn broke, the parade ground of the ancient Dian Kingdom was already bustling.

The soldiers' training calls came one after another, the metallic sounds of swords and guns clashing were crisp and sharp, mixed with heavy breathing, forming an ancient and rough symphony.

Baona stood on the high platform and looked around at the soldiers training in formation below.

They wore crude armor made of animal skins, and held primitive weapons such as spears and stone axes. Their movements appeared clumsy and slow.

Many soldiers still follow ancient habits, and when they wield their weapons, not only are their postures stiff, but they are also unable to fully exert their strength.

She frowned slightly and thought to herself that this kind of training was really inefficient. If she were to fight on the battlefield, she would probably find it difficult to resist a strong enemy.

The soldiers also noticed the new young woman.

Her clothes were very different from theirs. Her face was delicate, but her eyes were as sharp as a hawk, which made them feel a little confused.

A kind of training that is a mixture of doubt and expectation can make soldiers truly strong."

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Instructor Liangqiu's stern eyes were like a knife, stabbing Baona fiercely.

Baona felt an invisible pressure coming towards her

"Instructor, I don't mean to abandon tradition, but..." Baona was about to continue explaining when she was rudely interrupted by Instructor Liangqiu.

"Enough! I don't want to hear your sweet talk! I only believe what I see with my own eyes. The old way is the best!" Instructor Liangqiu waved his hand and said in a rough voice, his tone full of unquestionable authority.

Although Zuoqiu, the military strategist standing by, did not say a word, his eyes revealed worry.

The situation became tense and depressing, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the development of the situation.

Bona took a deep breath

At this moment, Instructor Liangqiu turned around and shouted to the soldiers below the stage: "Today's training will still follow the old rules!" His majestic voice echoed throughout the training ground.

Bao Na was not discouraged when she saw that Instructor Liang Qiu was determined to do what he wanted.

She knew very well that to change these deep-rooted ideas, she couldn't act hastily but had to do it slowly.

She turned her gaze to the young soldiers. Curiosity and a desire for knowledge gleamed in their eyes, which gave her a glimmer of hope.

"Everyone, please be patient!" Baona's voice was clear and powerful, piercing the clamor of the training grounds. "I understand your doubts about the new training method, but please give me a chance to try it out. This is not to deny the wisdom of our ancestors, but to make us more powerful!" She paused and looked around to ensure that every soldier could hear. "The old training method dispersed strength and was inefficient. What I advocate is for everyone to better control every bit of strength in their body, so that every swing can unleash maximum power!"

She pointed to a young soldier and motioned him forward.

The soldier was a little nervous, but still walked bravely to Baona.

Baona gestured for him to try swinging the spear the way she taught him.

The soldier was a little uncomfortable at first and his movements were stiff, but under Baona's patient and meticulous guidance, his movements gradually became smoother and the spear he swung became more powerful.

"Look, does it feel different?" Baona asked with a smile, her tone encouraging.

The soldier nodded in surprise, excitedly feeling the power surging in his body. The soldiers around him also began to whisper and discuss.

Under Baona's leadership, more and more young soldiers began to try new training methods.

No longer wedded to old postures, they began to actively feel the power of their bodies and learn how to use weapons more effectively.

Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, but their eyes were extremely determined.

Every successful attempt would draw cheers from the surroundings, and a new, hopeful atmosphere began to rise throughout the school grounds.

Just as Baona was immersed in the joy of success, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Queen of Ancient Dian slowly approaching, surrounded by a group of guards.

She was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe and wore a crown that symbolized power, with a hint of gentleness in her majesty.

Her appearance instantly quieted the originally noisy school grounds.

The Queen's gaze swept across everyone present, finally stopping on Baona. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"I heard that you were training soldiers here, so I came here to inspect you." The Queen's voice was soft and powerful, as if carrying a reassuring force.

She walked up to Baona, gently held her hand, and said sincerely, "I believe in your ability, and I believe that everything you do is for the strength of Gudian. Just go for it. I will always be your strongest support."

The Queen's words blew through Baona's heart like a spring breeze, making her feel immense warmth and strength.

She bowed deeply to the Queen

"Your Majesty," Zuoqiu's military advisor quickly approached and bowed. His expression was solemn, and his voice was low. "The leaders of the East Gate and West Gate tribes are requesting an audience outside the camp, and their words seem provocative."

Those veteran soldiers felt even more disdainful when they saw that Instructor Liangqiu did not immediately stop Baona's "nonsense".

They gathered in groups of three or five, and deliberately slacked off during the exercises, their movements being loose and weak, as if they were mocking Baona's "new style of exercises".

They waved their spears, stumbled, and shouted exaggeratedly, not looking like soldiers at all.

A burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out on the training ground, forming a sharp contrast with the young soldiers who were training seriously.

Baona looked at the messy scene in front of her with a frown on her face.

She knew very well that changing these deep-rooted habits was not easy.

She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and spoke loudly, "Everyone, I understand your concerns. But please believe me, the training method I advocate is by no means a fancy trick; it's a practical method that will truly enhance combat effectiveness!" She paused, her gaze sweeping over each soldier, her eyes firm and sharp. "How about this? Let's have a simulated confrontation, so everyone can see for themselves the effectiveness of this new training method?"

When the veterans heard this, a burly veteran stood out from the crowd. He said with a stern face: "Little girl, you make it sound easy. We are veterans, how can you teach us? What new exercises are you doing? They are just children playing house!" Several veterans around him also started to make a fuss, shouting that they wanted Bao Na to "look good".

Baona ignored their provocation and turned to the young soldiers who had mastered the new training methods. She selected several soldiers with standard movements and sufficient strength to form a "new training team."

She also signaled to the veterans who were dissatisfied to select a few representatives to form a "veterans team."

The simulated confrontation begins.

The veteran team, relying on brute force and experience, took the lead in launching the attack.

They brandished spears and stone axes, roared furiously, and were very aggressive.

However, although their attacks looked fierce, they were full of loopholes, their movements were stiff, and their strength was dispersed.

The new training team was much more flexible. They used the skills learned from the new training method to cleverly avoid the attacks of the veterans and launch counterattacks at the right time.

On the field, spears and stone axes collided, making bursts of crisp clashes, accompanied by the soldiers' heavy breathing, interweaving into a tense symphony.

The dust was blown up, forming a hazy mist in the sunlight.

The veterans became more and more frightened as the battle went on. They were surprised to find that the strength and experience they were so proud of seemed so vulnerable in front of the new training team.

Under Bao Na's command, the new training team defeated the veteran team at a very small cost and won the victory easily.

The veterans were dejected and looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't believe that they had been defeated by a group of rookies.

The atmosphere on the training ground became somewhat subtle.

Those veterans who had originally been dismissive began to waver.

They witnessed the power of the new training method with their own eyes, and began to feel a little shaken.

The young soldiers cheered and felt proud of their victory.

A positive atmosphere began to spread among the soldiers.

Baona looked at everything in front of her with relief. However, she knew in her heart that this was just the beginning.

She was about to boost morale when she suddenly discovered that the weapons in the soldiers' hands were already badly damaged.

The rough stone weapons were not only crude, but also shattered in many places during the previous confrontation.

She walked quickly to Nangong Weapon Craftsman and asked anxiously, "How many weapons do we have available now?" Nangong Weapon Craftsman looked embarrassed, pointed to the armory behind him, and stammered, "This...this...we...don't have many weapons in the warehouse..." Baona looked towards the warehouse and saw the mottled wooden door closed, revealing an indescribable sense of embarrassment.

Her brows were furrowed tightly.

At this time, the voice of the Queen of Ancient Dian came from behind: "Baona, I..." The Queen's words stopped abruptly.

Baona turned her head, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
