The Jurgend's main force chased Dongjiang's tail at least dozens of miles away. Maybe they would chase all the way to Jiangkou. Dongjiang might have left Chen Jisheng to break the rear, and Mao Youjun and other generals to help. Maybe Mao Wenlong and some generals had already returned to the island.

"If you want to fight, this place is less than ten miles away from the base behind us. If you ask them to seep in, you will find it sooner or later."

Li Fang was already the squadron leader. This ordinary mountain infantry more than a year ago was baptized by war and many forward intelligence missions, and passed the field officer test and was successfully promoted from a soldier to an officer.

This is quite common in Hutchison. If a soldier lacks enterprising spirit and trains step by step and participates in wars, he may only be a squad leader or a squadron-level sergeant in a few years. He will always be promoted in a few years. If a veteran cannot be promoted in three years, he will either lack either a soldier or his physical fitness and ability.

For the soldiers of the merchant regiment, it is rare, and of course not without them. The countermeasure is to transfer to the second-line troops or garrison troops. The soldiers also have corresponding experience and can always play a role.

Or just transfer the baggage troops, then retire from the baggage troops and become public security personnel. There are considerable gaps in the guards or tutors from all over the country, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find something to do.

If you lack personal abilities, you can only be the leader. In fact, there are not many such soldiers. Many veterans who joined the army six or seven years ago may be at most a small-level sergeant. It is because they have sufficient experience and connections and many things may be easily done.

There are also people who have been in the army for more than five years and then transferred to public security guards. This is also possible. If you have made military achievements or are disabled, your life will be quite comfortable after you retire and are much more comfortable than being a soldier.

The mainstream is of course the soldiers like Li Fang who are willing to make progress, are willing to endure more hardships during training, and are willing to take the initiative to take on dangerous tasks.

After half a year of training, I spent a certain period of recruits again, and then I was led by veterans to conduct small-scale patrol and combat tasks. After accumulating experience, I took tasks alone or newcomers to do tasks. The credit was gradually accumulated and my boss recognized the possibility of it, it would not be so difficult to get promoted.

Li Fang had many infiltration tasks. In the early days, he took the Liao people to escape to Kuandian. Later, he became an armed guard of various logging teams. He spent half a year in the deep mountains and dense forests of Kuandian to Niumao Village.

These places are the leading places in the country with many mountains, rivers and forests in hundreds of years, and are impeccable in terms of scenery. The continuous mountains and dense forests that cannot be seen at first sight, and there are streams and rivers everywhere. But living here will be very problematic. Mosquitoes are almost as big as fists, and poisonous snakes and beasts are everywhere. Each squad will also encounter some savage Jurchens or Korean hunters who cross the border to hunt from time to time. Disputes and fights are inevitable. While people and wild beasts and snakes are fighting, they also have to face special battles with the enemy. After each squad goes out, there will always be more or less loss of personnel.

The main personnel of logging were of course the Liao people who fled and were taken into shelter. They had the courage and strength, and had the experience of walking and spending the night in the mountains. A small team of soldiers helped these people solve the wild beasts and enemies. These loggers contributed their blood and sweat. With their efforts, several important rivers and mountain streams would have large wood floating on the water every day, and then flowed into the Yalu River, slowly flowing out of the river estuary, and entering the sea.

After Li Fang has experienced these things, he can no longer see the immatureness of last year. From an inexperienced recruit to a veteran lurking in a bush and being bitten by mosquitoes, all he needs is time and perseverance.

Behind him were leopard eyes and short beards, and the yellow face stayed at the base farm. He did not join the army. The short beard and leopard eyes joined the Hutchison Merchants Army as they wished, and received enough military pay. He lived a good life that he had dared to think about before. These two goods have been used as baggage soldiers for half a year and successfully transferred to the combat troops. Now it is still in the training period of the recruits. The main reason for the task is that the pressure has been high recently. There are at least dozens of similar small detachments, and the main forces of the combat soldiers are gathered to change, so many new recruits were also sent out. On the one hand, it is because of insufficient manpower, and on the other hand, it is also asking these new recruits to learn from experience.

Since we decided to fight, everyone began to make the final preparations before the war.

This squadron is not fully organized, but in fact, there are more than two squads.

One of the soldiers was wearing heavy armor and crouched on the ground, hiding under the cover of shrubs.

There are two sword players in a team, and the rest are boring handles and spearmen. There are three Liao people in the team who are good at bows and arrows. They are hunters, and they can also be said to have hit every shot. These three people hold iron-tied bows, and the arrows are lifted on the bowstrings.

Another team is the Musketeer Squad, with both leopard and short-bearded ones.

After training on Pi Island for three months, in addition to cohort training, he kept firing muskets every day.

The smoothbore rifle is very simple. It loads the injection medicine from the barrel, stuffs the bullet, then compacts it, then pulls the faucet, pulls the trigger, fires out the spark, ignites the medicine in the medicine pool, and then ignites the injection medicine. The injection medicine burns and pushes the bullet out of the chamber. With a "bang", the whole process is finished.

The old musketeer can complete the training speed of three shots in two minutes and two shots in three minutes on the battlefield. If you complete this speed, you will be considered qualified.

The firing of muskets is actually slower than that of cannons. The firing process of cannons is the same as that of muskets. The difference is that the cannons are larger and the number of gunners is also many.

It is also very complicated to say that the induction and injection medicine should be sent and not placed or poured. The bullets should be polished on their own. You should not make any mistakes when loading. The fortress should not be too tight. When driving, you should put them flat, aim and wait for orders... After the injection, you should quickly clear the chamber, then load the medicine, then load the bullet and compact it, and then have a complete set of processes.

During normal training, the recruits will inevitably be in a hurry and make things messy. On the battlefield, arrows flying past their heads, and those vicious enemies rushed over with swords, and their hands and feet were inevitably panicked. At this time, relying on experience, the scolding and scolding of officers and non-commissioned officers, the souls of the recruits can be called back.

After two or three matches, the recruits become veterans and their hands will not be messed up.

Even if the enemy has already run closer and its body can shake, its hands cannot shake. Once the hands are shaken, its body can no longer shake.

Leopard Eye still remembers what the instructor said at that time. During training, he also looked at his hands. He was a little unstable or shaking, and the whip was whipped directly.

The rules of the Shang regiments in Hutchison were very strict. At first, people felt relaxed. They were not as strict as those of the Ming officers and soldiers who were often punished. The generals did not show off their airs. They had no inner court or personal guards. When they became company commanders, they had about 300 people under their command. They could have at least a dozen or twenty inner courts in Liao Town. They should have at least a dozen or twenty inner courts. They had a more careful garrison and aides and guests, and had to keep a few concubines. The blood of hundreds of soldiers was not enough to drink.

The company commanders here, let alone the inner court and staff, have no guards, only unified service and supplies, and unified the company to do some chores for the officers in the company.

The soldiers do not do chores, and they do not have to do any chores. The officers have no way to use the soldiers except to manage them, and they will not beat and scold them at will.

But when training, if you do not do well, the sergeant commanders will never be polite.

It is already considered polite to beat the rattan. If you violate discipline, you may be in a military stick, confinement, or even resignation.

As long as the rules are violated, there will be punishment. There is no mercy and no exception. The seemingly loose surface is actually a way to slowly train people to what the merchant army needs.

Leopard Eye was also a rebellious person before joining the army. Now he himself doesn't know it. Before he knew it, he has become a standard merchant soldier.

Everyone slowly handed the musket forward, and the black muzzle was aimed at the Jurchens who were still unaware of anything.

These are two small valleys facing each other, with dense forests. A clear stream flows down from the valley where Li Fang and others are. When they reach the bottom of the stream, they turn into a gentle river, and slowly flows from the valley there to the distance.

There were green trees everywhere, and the big wood that the few people hugged together was like a giant holding an umbrella, covering the sky under the giant umbrella.

The sun is very good and the weather is warm. If it weren't for war, people would walk in such a place, listening to the gurgling water flowing, the clear water flowing to the bottom, and swimming fish are obviously visible. Walking here must be a very pleasant feeling.

There were a lot of Han people who reclaimed wasteland, hunted and collected specialties from the mountains here. In the middle of Wanli, Li Chengliang withdrew Kuandian Six Forts, and more than 60,000 people were evacuated at one time. The Liao people refused to leave burned, killed and looted. Countless dead, and the cries of the living were shocking, and they had to leave the place where they had lived for decades.

On the plains of the valley where the stream flows by, under a large shrub, there seem to be traces of large areas of land reclamation.

However, the Jurchens knew nothing about this. After observing for a long time, they did not find any danger. Li Fang and others were experienced. Before taking action, they hid their weapons in the backlight and did not make any noise. From time to time, there were birds and beasts roaring, which gave people a very reassuring feeling.

If someone is walking, the beast roar will stop and the birds will fly around in the air without chirping peacefully.

Li Fang and others hid here for a night and felt that they had integrated with the environment. This was a skill developed after performing logging missions in the forest for a long time and the ability to cross the border and flee the people's mission. It was not surprising that the Jurchens under the valley had never noticed it.

The two white armors kept scanning the forest with vigilant eyes, but did not notice anything abnormal.
