I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

On the vast training ground of the cavalry camp in Yunzhou City, two thousand soldiers stood tall like pine trees. Fang Yi stood on a high platform, overlooking the dark sea of ​​heads, with a surge of pride in his heart - from today on, he also had a powerful army under his direct command.

Yunzhou's military system has undergone a comprehensive reform. Fang Yi abandoned the traditional division of left and right cavalry, and disbanded all of Fang's former troops and dispersed them into various units in order to prevent potential changes.

After all, most of them came from Fang's army, so the more vigilance they had, the fewer hidden dangers there would be.

The cavalry was reorganized into eight battalions, each led by a captain, with a strength ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 soldiers; the infantry still maintained the structure of two battalions on the left and right, and its commanders were selected from the original outstanding infantry captains.

And these two thousand new recruits were all carefully selected by Fang Yi himself from the Fang family army.

He intended to start with this group of new recruits and restore the image of strict military discipline.

As for those battle-hardened veterans, they were handed over to Fang Bo.

The recruits in the audience looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity and doubts about this general who was awarded the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery at such a young age - how would he train them to become iron-blooded warriors on the battlefield?

Fang Yi understood the audience's thoughts and thought from their perspective. He would also feel confused. He said loudly, "I know that you are all new soldiers, and I just experienced the battlefield a few months ago. Perhaps you are asking yourself, why should I be your leader?"

After the words were spoken, there were whispers among the crowd, but no one dared to question directly.

"Old soldiers of Ningjin City, listen to my command! Take off your armor and clothes!"

After these words were spoken, the old soldiers in Ning Jincheng were filled with confusion. Aren't they training new recruits? Why did they have to expose their bodies?

Do we need to perform dances to motivate the new recruits?

But after the battle of Yunzhou City, Fang Yi has established a prestige that cannot be underestimated.

Although they were confused, no one dared to disobey and they all followed orders.

The new recruits were even more confused, until all the veterans, including Fang Yi himself, stood in front of them with their upper bodies naked, shocking the entire audience.

The sight of these shirtless muscular men, covered in scars, was shocking. Even Fang Yi's seemingly innocent face had several visible traces of battle.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with astonishment and admiration.

"We are the soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. Once upon a time, we were just like you, starting as recruits and working our way up step by step.

This road is full of hardships and sacrifices. Many brothers have died and many homes have been shattered. But we have no regrets, because Yunzhou City is our roots and our home, and we will never allow the Jurchens to trample on it! Do you understand? ! "

"understand!"

The recruits' voices were uniform and firm.

At this moment, the young man in front of them won their complete conviction with his numerous scars.

In the rugged land of northern border, this direct and strong proof can touch the hearts of recruits and inspire their fighting spirit far better than words.

Based on his own experience in many charges and in-depth communication with many cavalry commanders, Fang Yi carefully designed a training plan.

The 1,500 recruits will be evenly distributed under the command of 20 centurions, using the method of old soldiers leading new soldiers to ensure that every training session can be conducted efficiently.

The first thing to be considered is the assassination technique. In their first battle, cavalrymen often face spear confrontation head-on, striving to kill the enemy with one blow. Therefore, strengthening arm strength, endurance and accuracy has become the core of training, and the emphasis is on a fatal blow that is both steady and fierce.

Next comes the refinement of formation flexibility, when to rush, when to slow down, how to change formation quickly, how to adjust the forward depth, all of these require repeated practice until they become instinct.

The skill of horseback archery is also not to be ignored. Hitting the target while galloping can effectively reduce the enemy's strength. Accurate shooting on horseback is simply a nightmare for nomadic peoples, and the Jurchen cavalry is famous for this.

Fang Yi's goal is to forge an invincible elite force in the shortest possible time.

Time passed quietly, and both the Jurchens and the Great Zhou remained silent, as if they were secretly building up their strength and waiting for the best opportunity.

In the following days, Fang Yi divided the entire army into ten groups, each led by two centurions, and went out of the border to search for small-scale Jurchen cavalry.

His instructions were clear: if they encountered an enemy force of less than a hundred men, the two groups would attack together; otherwise, they would avoid fighting.

This move is intended to train the team while minimizing losses. Once encountering enemy reinforcements, you must immediately evacuate the battlefield. Violators will be severely punished!

This marked the beginning of a reversal of the passive situation that the Great Zhou had been in for many years, turning from defense to offense.

From then on, the nightmare of the Jurchen Rangers began. Their patrols were frequently attacked. What was even more annoying was that the enemy seemed to pick on the weak ones. They would fight if they could win and flee if things went wrong.

Want to lure the enemy deeper?

They would not be fooled; if they closed their doors tightly, the other side would be happy to remain silent.

For a time, the Jurchens were in a state of panic, and their scouts became extremely cautious when going out to collect intelligence, and would turn around and return at the slightest sign of trouble.

It was not until the Jurchen Khan Nurhaci finally realized the problem and sent out a large number of elite cavalry to search for the Zhou cavalry. However, Fang Yi had already led his troops back to Yunzhou City safely, which made Nurhaci furious.

Ever since his son Daishan suffered a defeat in the northern border, he had been looking for an opportunity to counterattack, but he did not expect that this young man named Fang Yi would follow him like a shadow, constantly harassing him, which made him extremely annoyed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the results were outstanding. The entire battalion worked together to chopped off more than a thousand enemy heads, while their side only lost dozens of heroes. With such an overwhelming advantage, it was difficult not to win.

The new recruits also slowly found the rhythm of fighting in the baptism of blood and fire. Their fighting capacity soared like a rocket. Fang Yi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He felt so happy in his heart.

Although the night was deep, the meeting hall in Yunzhou City was still as bright as day.

Wu Minbo tapped a point on the map with his fingers: "This group of Jurchens have been here for more than a month. They have been much quieter since our last fight.

Intelligence showed that they were waiting for food supplies. Winter was about to freeze their noses and ears, and the large number of cattle and sheep they brought with them would soon become food.

As long as we can cut off their food supply without anyone noticing, when winter comes, they will have no choice but to retreat in disgrace, and we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

At this time, a lieutenant frowned and expressed his concerns: "This requires going deep into the enemy's lair. Not only is it easy to be exposed, but even if you succeed by chance, if you are blocked outside the pass on the way back, you will be in danger of death. Isn't the risk too great?"

Wu Minbo nodded, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Fang Yi, full of expectation: "That's why I called everyone together to discuss it. If we can come up with a safe method, it's worth a try. Lord Zhongyong, do you have any good ideas?"
