Du Xuan is going to Black Bear Castle, and the only person who is unhappy is Du Changgeng's wife Luo Xifeng.
"The third son has never traveled far since he was a child. What's wrong with letting him study in peace? He has to be beaten and killed. What if he gets injured? Now the barbaric dogs are eyeing our Daqi. A few days ago, they were still
After catching so many people, I think Barbarian Dog is plotting against our Chiyang Guards. Don't you want to kill the third son by letting him out at this time?" Luo Xifeng has been doing this non-stop since the morning.
complain.
Although Du Changgeng did not argue with his wife, he never wavered in his determination. As a father, Du Changgeng might not be so cruel to his son, but as a general, he knew that there were some things that he must not waver in.
"You still don't understand the third son. The third son also wants to go out. As a father, I naturally have to fulfill his wish. Although Black Bear Castle is a bit more difficult, it is far away from the battle line, and few barbaric dogs will come there.
Go there." Du Changgeng could only patiently comfort his wife.
"Even if there are very few, that means there are still some wild dogs that will get past." Luo Xifeng said with tears in her eyes.
"The third son is a centurion. He has more than a hundred soldiers. The other centurions can only lead a hundred soldiers, but I asked him to lead a dozen more." Du Changgeng said.
"Don't think you can fool me. I know that the third son is leading new recruits. The old veterans of Black Bear Castle have been transferred by you long ago. You should quickly draw dozens of guards from the guard camp. Otherwise, the third son will be released.
What happened, I will settle the score with you." Luo Xifeng said.
"You think I don't want to? It's the third son who doesn't want it. He wants to train his own troops. The third son is right about this. Veterans have the advantages of veterans and can fight, but they are also rebellious. The third son is a
A weak scholar, how can he convince those old-timers just because he is the son of Du Changgeng? Although it is a little difficult to bring in new soldiers at the beginning, the soldiers they bring out will obey the command." Du Changgeng said.
Du Xuan was ready today and was ready to say goodbye to his parents, so he led his troops to Black Bear Castle to take over the defense. Du Xuan was wearing mountain armor and looked very energetic. As he walked, he could only hear the clanking of armor and weapons.
A loud crashing sound.
"Mom, I'm going to Black Bear Castle today. Don't worry, I will come back to see you often. Mom, please take care of your health." Du Xuan also left home for the first time, and he felt a little reluctant to leave, but the man was determined to be everywhere.
, Du Xuan's heart had already flown to Black Bear Castle a hundred miles away.
Outside Du Mansion, Du Xuan's more than a hundred soldiers were already ready to go. A month ago, they were still new recruits, but now, they have gained a certain momentum. They stood there in silence.
Most of the Chiyang Guards are from military households and are well-informed. However, one look at the military appearance of this battalion of sergeants, and they know that this battalion of sergeants has already taken shape. If they can hone themselves in the war, they will surely become a force.
Strong army.
Du Changgeng was very satisfied with Du Xuan's performance for more than a month. First, he eliminated the hidden dangers of the Chiyang Guards and eliminated all the details, so that the Chiyang Guards had no worries. Then, Du Changgeng was also very satisfied with Du Xuan's training results.
Satisfied. Originally, he thought that Du Xuan, a scholar, would not know how to lead troops in battle. Unexpectedly, after less than a month of training, Du Xuan was able to train a battalion of new recruits to some fighting strength. Du Xuan, a battalion of soldiers
, although the combat effectiveness is still very insufficient, it is already very organized. If this continues, the battalion led by Du Xuan will definitely become an important combat force of the Chiyang Guard in the future.
"What a pity. It would have been better if the third son had led the troops earlier." Du Changgeng was very sorry. If Du Xuan had led the troops earlier, he might have brought out a strong army. Even if the barbarians came over, this guy would be able to
The troops in hand are in an invincible position.
"Father, we are ready." Du Xuan ran over after arranging the queue.
"Let's go!" Du Changgeng shouted.
Du Xuan jumped on the back of the golden tiger and waved his hand: "Let's go! The target is Black Bear Castle!"
After walking for two hours, Du Xuanying arrived at Black Bear Fort. The defenders of Black Bear Fort had already made preparations. As soon as Du Xuanying arrived, they handed over to Du Xuan and couldn't wait to pass the blame to Du Xuan.
Xuan, left in a hurry.
"This is the Black Bear Castle? Where is the castle?" Du Xuan looked around and felt like he was being deceived. There was no castle at all, just a shabby house. It was surrounded by wasteland and no crops were planted.
I don’t know what the garrison here had to eat to survive.
Du Feng seems to have heard about the conditions of Black Bear Castle: "The land here in Black Bear Castle is very barren, and crops cannot be grown at all. There is also often a lack of water. Therefore, the defenders here basically do not farm and mainly rely on hunting in the mountains.
Sell the meat of the wild beasts you hunt in exchange for food rations.”
"Then how can it be done? What about the defense of this fort?" Du Xuan asked.
"Black Bear Castle is so remote and not a strategic location. The barbarian dogs will not come here at all. Even if they come, there are only a few broken houses here and there are not even stutterers. In the end, they have to evacuate obediently." Du Feng said.
"No. I couldn't control what happened to Black Bear Castle before. Now that I'm here, Black Bear Castle can't be like before. There's a lot of wasteland around here. We should reclaim the wasteland. The walls of Black Bear Castle must also be built. Du Feng,
You want to find a way to get a group of refugees to come over, but it is better to recruit refugees to do such chores." Du Xuan said.
"Third Young Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit refugees here. The conditions here are too harsh and the refugees won't be willing to come." Du Feng said in embarrassment.
"There are enough savage beasts here, but will anyone be willing to come?" Du Xuan glared at Du Feng.
"Give the refugees savage meat to eat?" Du Feng asked in disbelief.
"Yes, as long as they are willing to come over and give them beast meat to eat. That's enough!" Du Xuan said.
Du Xuan had no choice but to do this. Hunting wild beasts can train soldiers, but letting the sergeants do construction and farming will only destroy the training of the sergeants. The battalion finally took shape, and Du Xuan would not let it.
All previous efforts were in vain.
Du Xuan was also very lucky that he brought new soldiers. If he brought a battalion of veterans here, he would definitely not be able to command those soldiers in such a desperate place. Now he has led this battalion of soldiers, and there are
With Yang Wancai and a group of key personnel, Du Xuan has firmly controlled the battalion of sergeants.
Therefore, Du Xuan gave an order, and all the soldiers in the battalion immediately took action to clear out the temporary residence first.
When Du Feng arrived at Black Bear Castle, Du Xuan drove him back to fool the refugees. Therefore, there was no one around Du Xuan, and he even had to clean up his own residence.
Fortunately, Yang Wanchai was smart and saw that Du Xuan was going to clean up his residence by himself, so he quickly brought two people over to help Du Xuan tidy up his residence.
"Third Young Master, we have to arrange a hunt tomorrow, otherwise the rations we brought here won't last for a few days. The previous guard camp left us nothing." Yang Wanchai said.
"The whole camp will hunt tomorrow, leaving a team of guards." Du Xuan must prepare for the refugees who will come next. Once the refugees are fooled here, Du Xuan must keep them. Black Bear Castle must have more residents.
There may be fundamental changes. Du Xuan believes that Du Changgeng asked him to come over, not just because he wanted him to come over to practice. Black Bear Castle does not have much strategic significance now. Once there is a fundamental change in Black Bear Castle, Black Bear
Who can say whether the fort still has any meaning?
On that day, Du Xuan led the whole battalion of soldiers to clean up the Black Bear Fort, which suddenly changed its appearance. Although the houses were still in dilapidated condition, they became cleaner and the surrounding grass was cut down.
, making Black Bear Castle look less deserted.
Xu Dongchu was a little worried: "Captain Yang, will we stay here forever?"
Yang Wanchai smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible? The third young master is the commander's favorite son. How can he be willing to let his precious son suffer?"
"That's true. It's just that I'm a little worried. Don't let us stay here forever." Xu Dongchu said.
"It's very good here. The third young master is a warlock and can heal. If you are injured here, the third young master can heal the injury directly. It is difficult to find a warlock who can heal in ordinary military camps." Yang Wanchai
said.
After Du Xuan had arranged for everyone, he had been studying an animal skin map. This animal skin map roughly mapped out the terrain of Chiyang Guard. But this map was so rough that even Black Bear Castle could not
Not marked.
Du Xuan looked at the map again and again, then drew on it with a pen for a while, and then wrote the place name on the drawn place. The Black Bear Castle was among them. Even some of the terrain around the Black Bear Castle were marked by Du Xuan.
Recorded it. It was obvious that Du Xuan attached great importance to this map. He wondered in his mind what Du Changgeng's real intention was in sending him here.
When this map first came out, Du Changgeng personally handed it to Du Xuan. The map not only marked the important locations of the Chiyang Guards, but also marked some important locations of the Barbarians. These locations seemed to be a little far away from the Black Bear Castle.
Black Bear Castle is separated from the Barbarians' sphere of influence by several mountains, and the mountains are steep and steep, with a large number of barbarian beasts entrenched in the mountains. It is indeed impossible for the Barbarians to climb over these mountains and deal with a Black Bear Castle of no importance.
.
Du Xuan didn't see any clue and put the map away.
Each squad of soldiers from Du Xuan Camp, under the arrangement of the squad leader, temporarily resettled the dilapidated houses after slightly repairing them.
"This house is really dilapidated. When it rains, several thatched houses will collapse. In the past few days, take the time to repair this house, otherwise it will be impossible to live in it." Yu Guijun used the shield in his hand.
I wiped it with a rag before hanging it on the wall.
"The Third Young Master has endured hardships, why can't we endure it? How can we be more delicate than the Third Young Master?" Cai Qidong said.
