Chapter 145 The Son is a Villain 14

Wanqi Xiao has his own way of training soldiers.

He knew very well that on the battlefield, only strong strength and superb skills could ensure victory.

Therefore, he started with the most basic physical training, having the soldiers run, climb and swim for long periods of time every day to improve their endurance and physical fitness.

In terms of weapons training, Wanqi Xiao personally demonstrated and taught the soldiers how to use various weapons, including spears, daggers, bows and arrows, etc.

He focuses on actual combat drills, allowing soldiers to continuously improve their combat skills and adaptability in simulated battles.

However, he also understood that an excellent general must not only have outstanding combat capabilities, but also have keen insight and decision-making capabilities.

Therefore, he often organized military seminars among soldiers with outstanding performance, allowing them to share their combat experiences and insights, identify problems and make improvements.

These soldiers who have their own ideas and whose strength improves rapidly will eventually get an official position.

Wanqi Xiao also knew that when leading troops to fight, the generals always followed behind.

He needs an outstanding team of advisers to give him advice and formulate strategies.

He began to look for talented young people in the army and cultivate their military qualities and command capabilities.

After all, it is not realistic to recruit people from outside. Who knows if the people recruited may be spies from other troops?

Chao Yao is the person who is in charge of the rear area. He is responsible for what the soldiers eat every day, the settlement of their families and various small matters of life.

Fortunately, she has space for planting, otherwise, being responsible for the food of hundreds of thousands of people every day would be something that most people simply cannot afford.

As more and more refugees came in from outside, Chao Yao simply built a new city on an open space ten miles away from Huangwu County. She designed and built the urban area herself.

Once these refugees are settled, they will provide a steady supply of military forces.

When Wanqi Xiao succeeds, these refugees will become his people.

Planning for the future from the beginning can save you a lot of trouble.

It has been two months since the recruitment, and Wanqi Xiao has trained the soldiers well.

There were about 10,000 refugees who arrived in Huangwu County, all coming from the north.

The imperial city was in the Central Plains. The refugees from the north should have fled to the Central Plains first, but they passed through the Central Plains and came to Huangwu County.

When I asked the reason, I found out that the legend of the white dragon's descent to the world had been spread.

In addition, the imperial city did not accept refugees, so in order to survive, they walked on foot and finally arrived in Huangwu County.

Sure enough, Huangwu County did not disappoint them.

Here you can find a job to earn money, and also a house and land.

Huangwu County is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of unowned land, which is why Chao Yao was able to make arrangements for them.

I heard that Wanqi Xiao, the leader possessed by the white dragon, is still recruiting soldiers, and some refugees who can't make a living will also come to sign up.

Wanqi Xiao set up a long-term registration point in the commercial street. People can register, but if they withdraw midway, their entire family will be expelled from Huangwu County.

They don't accept deserters.

If you receive such good treatment but cannot endure the hard training and fight on the front lines, then expect even worse consequences.

Everything was going on the right track, but one night Wanqi Xiao suddenly sensed a murderous aura approaching slowly.

He suddenly opened his eyes and released his spiritual sense to look around a hundred miles. Finally, he found an army less than fifty miles away from Huangwu County. They were slowly approaching Huangwu County.

"Enemy attack! Assemble!"

At the command, hundreds of thousands of troops quickly got ready.

They were divided into several teams by Wanqi Xiao. Some stayed to guard the city gate, some maintained the safety of the residents in the county and patrolled the city, and the rest followed him to meet the army.

Wanqi Xiao had seen that army in advance. They were well-equipped and looked like a regular army.

They were still marching at night, which showed how urgent their situation was.

With the existence of Wanqi Xiao, there is no need for scouts, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need such people.

He is going to be the emperor in the future, so he can't lead the troops to fight every time.

Therefore, the presence of scouts is very necessary. This is the first time that scouts have been sent out to investigate the enemy situation. Wanqi Xiao's spiritual sense has been on them to avoid any accidents.

At daybreak, the scout returned safely and found out the enemy situation.

"Reporting to General Wanqi, the enemy is the most elite army of the Li Kingdom. They have a total of 200,000 troops, and the leader is the famous general Chen Xuan of the Li Kingdom."

The scout knelt down in front of Wanqi Xiao and reported loudly.

"I have met General Chen Xuan once at the border, so I know him."

Wanqi Xiaoduan was riding on a horse, with rows of soldiers behind him. He asked calmly, "What is Chen Xuan doing?"

The scout said, "General Chen Xuan's troops have arrived in Huangwu County. They are resting and will probably start attacking the city in another hour."

Wanqi Xiao asked: "Are they just attacking the city? Do they have any strategy?"

The scout replied, "We haven't found any tricks they are using yet. General Wanqi, do you want to send more scouts to investigate?"

"No need, you go down and rest first." Wanqi Xiao waved his hand, signaling the scout to retreat.

He did not stand up, but remained on his horse, closing his eyes and thinking about countermeasures.

Compared with the 200,000 elite troops of Liguo, his own army and refugees only numbered 150,000, which was a numerical disadvantage.

But fortunately he is there, otherwise the two sides would have equal numbers and it would be hard to say who would win.

Wanqi Xiao opened his eyes, he already had a plan.

He set up a barrier around the entire Huangwu County and the refugees' settlements to prevent Chen Xuan from attacking the city due to any mistakes.

"Flying Bear Team, step forward and listen to orders!"

This is the vanguard, and they are the most outstanding soldiers among hundreds of thousands of people, enough to number thousands.

The Flying Bear Team, which was equally well-equipped, quickly stepped forward.

Wanqi Xiao dismounted and walked into the tent with Liao Jun, captain of the Flying Bear Team.

He pointed to the sand table in front of him and said, "According to the scouts, Chen Xuan's army is currently concentrated in this plain area with a wide field of vision, which is not easy to be attacked. You see, a few miles ahead is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is an advantage for us."

Liao Jun looked at the sand table carefully and said, "General, I know this area. We chose this place during our last field training."

"Well, it seems that you also know something about the terrain. You go ahead and use the terrain to harass and attack Chen Xuan's army. The goal is to mobilize them to leave the favorable terrain and drive them to this valley. Of course, I also know that they can't all go to the valley, so you try to drive as many people as possible. I will arrange another team to throw rocks and fireballs from the top of the mountain."
