Transmigration begins with archery training

People inside and outside the military settlement were filled with anxiety, worried that the flames of war might spread to Poyang County.

"Father has sent a letter."

Sun Li took out the letter she had just retrieved from the post station and said softly, "The letter says that there may be unforeseen events in Poyang, and asks us to stay and help."

"misfortune?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Do you mean the Xihe tribe, or...?"

"do not know."

Sun Li shook her head: "It wasn't explicitly stated."

Sun Buqi was very anxious. He snatched the letter and kept asking, "How is Father? What is the specific situation in the three northwestern prefectures?"

"With the eight major camps and the twenty-nine guards in the three northwestern regions, there are nearly two hundred thousand troops. In addition, with Father personally leading the charge, there should be no unexpected events."

Sun Li remained relatively calm.

It wasn't just the siblings.

The entire Qianhu garrison, and even Poyang County, was gripped by fear and unease.

What it meant for the common people if they lost a border war and foreign cavalry poured into the Central Plains is clearly stated in historical records.

As a result, the soldiers became much more diligent in their training.

Mao Shi.

Chen Sanshi had barely arrived at the military camp when his men had already begun training.

[Skill: Commanding Troops (Beginner)]

【Progress: 233/500】

[Effect: Backbone]

After the lesson learned last time.

Everyone obediently followed Xu Wencai's command, their proficiency with the control panel improved rapidly, and they practiced basic battle formations with remarkable skill, comparable to veterans who had been trained for many years.

"Xu Wencai".

Chen Sanshi summoned the old scholar: "Call all the night scouts who are traveling with me this time, and train them in the 'small cart suspension formation' that we talked about last time, so that we won't be left sitting and waiting for death if we encounter an accident on the grassland."

Car suspension formation.

It belongs to cavalry formations.

Rather than a simple and brutal charge, more emphasis was placed on the spacing between cavalrymen and the coordination of weapons, making them appear like spinning wheels to the enemy.

Previously on the grassland.

The group that Chen Sanshi encountered only knew how to simply and recklessly surround and attack, without making full use of their numerical advantage.

Otherwise, it should be even more troublesome.

He also personally joined in the training, immersing himself in the formation.

Xu Bin and Fang Buping were among the five people Wang Zhi brought.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Bin, after years of minor success in blood cultivation, finally broke through to major success, but unfortunately, he was not given the position of commander-in-chief.

Chen Sanshi happened to be short of manpower, so he took the opportunity to bring them under his command.

"You little brat, you're starting to take advantage of me?"

Wang Zhi remembered that when he first met him, he was a very honest young man. Now, not only does he dare to eat and drink the prefect's food for free, but he also doesn't let him go.

"That's too polite of you."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "I'll give you two soldiers in exchange, you won't lose out."

"Don't even try, I'll give it to you."

Wang Zhi grinned: "Next time you go to Prefect Ji's house, remember to call me."

"It's natural."

After several days of training with the trolley in a suspended formation, it was Chen Sanshi's turn to guard the Great Wall again.

He started riding his horse back and forth again.

Practice formations, learn martial arts, and brew medicine.

During this time, he went to Prefect Ji's house again for a medicinal bath, and with the addition of Linghe, his cultivation speed continued to increase.

After ten days, when the shift change took place, the progress of the cultivation technique had exceeded halfway.

[Technique: Undying Golden Serpent Spear - Upper Level (Mastered)]

【Progress: 655/1000】

……

[Skill: Medicine. Basic (Entry-level)]

【Progress: 204/500】

His medical skills also remained excellent.

Finally, there is the White Swan Horse.

"Shut up!"

Chen Sanshi returned to the Great Wall, reined in his horse, and took out the fodder he had prepared in advance.

It's called hay, but it's actually concentrated feed. Besides licorice and alfalfa, the main components are corn, beans, and mixed rice.

It was much better than what he ate when he was down on his luck.

That’s all.

The horse has a big appetite and eats almost all day long.

The amount of food a warhorse can eat is equivalent to the amount of food six strong soldiers can eat.

Maintaining a cavalry force would consume an unknown amount of food every day.

That's why.

For the Central Plains dynasties, warhorses were an extremely valuable strategic resource.

"You've been with me for a while now, so let me give you a name. What should I call you...?"

Chen Sanshi is terrible at naming things.

He was in distress.

The panel floats.

[Skill: Horse Riding (Master)]

Progress: (0/500)

[Effect: Travels two thousand miles a day, the precious horse seeks its master]

Traveling two thousand miles a day?

A horse that can travel a thousand miles a day is a first-class warhorse.

Two thousand li, that's already beyond the limit of ordinary horses, isn't it?

But since humans in this world can cultivate themselves, and there are different kinds of beasts, there must also be extraordinary beings among horses.

It's just that Poyang doesn't have it.

No wonder you can eat so much!

What Chen Sanshi was more interested in was the ability to "find a master".

[BMW Finds Its Owner: Within a thousand miles, a BMW can find its owner on its own, coming and going at a moment's notice.]

With the "Find a Master" feature, using horses becomes infinitely more convenient.

"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Xun for now!"

Chen Sanshi randomly came up with a name.

More hoofbeats rang out.

Luo Dongquan, Liu Jinkui, and Wang Zhi led their respective scouts to the foot of the city wall.

"The time has come."

Luo Dongquan sat high on his horse: "Commander Chen, quickly gather your men and come with me out of the city to explore!"

"Take orders."

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

It was early winter, and the cold wind was howling.

At midnight, the city gates were opened.

Three guerrilla squads silently left the city and disappeared into the vast grasslands.

Xihe tribe.

They were a branch of the Yuwen lineage, stationed in the Xihe area, about 400 li away, and were relatively scattered.

"Wang Zhi, you don't need to keep staring at me."

Luo Dongquan sneered, "I told you, I have no grudge against Commander Chen. It's you who are petty and narrow-minded!"

"Stop pretending!"

Wang Zhi cursed, "Seven years ago, there was a new recruit with good talent. Did you compete with Zhao Kang for him? Then that guy died mysteriously and vanished into thin air, didn't he? I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"

"Hey, you surnamed Wang, you need to provide evidence before you speak!"

Luo Dongquan narrowed his eyes: "Also, get your place right. I don't know what your status was in the Eight Great Camps before, but now, you are just a Bone Training Centurion, while I am a Deputy Thousand-Household Commander, a Fifth-Rank Martial Strategy General appointed by the Imperial Court!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!"

Liu Jinkui stepped in to smooth things over: "We're all brothers who've been through thick and thin together, what's there to argue about? Any conflicts can be resolved with a drink when we get back. Commander Luo, you should hurry up and assign tasks, don't waste time."

"Northeast, Northwest, Due North".

Luo Dongquan pointed in three directions: "Our three night patrol teams will each be responsible for exploring one direction. We will regroup here before midnight in two days. No waiting for latecomers! Our mission locations are all different. Mr. Wang, you can rest assured now, right?"

"Ha, who knows what you're up to?"

The three teams split up.

Four hundred li is neither far nor near.

At the speed of the white swan horse, it would take less than half a day to reach its destination.

But they are scouts, so speed is not the primary factor.
