Chapter 22

Zhou Chong sat staggeringly on the horse's back, and the war horse trotted to the yard, pulling the horse's reins and stopping. Zhou Chong turned over and dismounted, and staggered. If the horse's reins were not invisibly helping him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Chunyu Jue quickly walked out of the house and saw Zhou Chong as happy as a child who liked Xingxing suddenly saw Xingxing, saying, "Brother Zhou, are you back?"

Zhou Chong nodded vaguely, shaking and almost falling. Chunyu Jue ignored the difference between men and women, hurriedly supported Zhou Chong and said, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, it's really fine." Zhou Chong said vaguely, leaning his head on Chunyu Jue's shoulder and snored. Hearing his snoring sound, it seemed as if he hadn't been sleeping for a month.

Chunyu Jue couldn't understand why a vigorous Zhou Chong was so tired, and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Only Zhou Chong's snoring sounded, and the sound of the mountain was heard.

"What's wrong today?" Chunyu Jue muttered and looked Zhou Chong carefully. He found that Zhou Chong in front of him was no longer the same as Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong was once very energetic, and his energy was not the best, and he was not bad. Zhou Chong in front of him was really hard to compliment. The boss's dark circles hung on his eye sockets, but his eyes were still sinking deep. Chunyu Jue opened Zhou Chong's left eyelid and saw that the eyes were covered with bloodshots. The bloodshots were as numerous as spider webs, and several layers were densely packed.

After looking further, Zhou Chong lost weight several times, his face was covered with beard, his armor was either dust or branches or leaves, and his hands were scratched and covered with scars.

Chunyu Jue daqi patted Zhou Chong's face and said, "Brother Zhou. What's wrong with you? Why are you so many injuries on your body?" Another sound of hooves sounded, and Zhou Chong's personal bodyguard, the Tiger Guards dispatched by the King of Qin, rode in.

After a look, Chunyu Jue was even more surprised, because they were just like Zhou Chong, and they were obviously extremely tired. If they hadn't been forced to hold on, they would have fallen asleep immediately.

"What's wrong with you? It's the same as Zhou Chong." Chunyu Jue's beautiful phoenix eyes widened. He had a different style.

The leader Hu Ben Guard replied: "Miss Chunyu doesn't know that Lord Zhou is tired of training troops."

"Soldier training? I think he is asking for trouble. What kind of soldiers can he train as a weak scholar?" Chunyu Jue muttered: "Soldier training is trained by soldiers, not generals. Do you need to practice yourself as a soldier?"

Zhou Chong knew that the key to completing the mission of a surprise attack on Handan was to use the cavalry. In terms of the current cavalry situation, although the equipment has been improved, it has not been transformed into combat capabilities and is not enough to complete this task. Targeted admonitions must be conducted. After explaining to the King of Qin, Zhou Chong gathered the selected cavalry together and conducted a fifteen-day forced military training.

This training is not only a training session, but also a three tactical goals that Zhou Chong booked: one is to march in the mountains and ridges. The second is to practice riding and shooting during the march, and shooting archery during the Mercedes-Benz. The third is to train people's resilience, will and lasting combat capabilities.

This is a hard indicator and must be completed. A soldier who cannot complete is not only eliminated, but also has to be demoted to two levels. After completing the land and being promoted to the first level, the King of Qin agreed.

The reason why Zhou Chong set the intensity so much was training for the tactical purpose of attacking Handan. It can be imagined that once war begins, there will be troops everywhere in Zhao State, and it will be difficult to be concealed by 20,000 cavalry. It is difficult to keep confidential. To maintain the suddenness of the cavalry's attack on Handan, confidentiality will be the most important part. To achieve this, one can lie down at night, two is to pull the net, and to coerce the people of Zhao State where the cavalry passes, so as not to let them disclose information, and three is to take dense forest paths and not take the main road.

Therefore, marching in the mountains and ridges will be an important part of determining success or failure. Everyone knows one thing. Cavalry is conducive to plain combat and mountain warfare. This is marching, not combat, so don't be confused.

Practicing shooting while marching is of course to increase the lethality of the cavalry. Zhou Chong issued a cavalry crossbow with three hundred arrows, requiring one hundred arrows to hit the target. At the same time, he also practiced sprinting with spears and slashing with a saber. This is to increase lethality. This principle is not difficult to understand, so I won’t say much.

It can be predicted that this raid was a continuous march, and it was difficult to have time to rest. It was absolutely necessary to train the cavalry's resilience, will and lasting combat capabilities. It was from this point that Zhou Chong decided to distribute rations for five days for each person, but asked them to persist for fifteen days, which became a survival training.

The soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and they had insufficient food. They could only drink horse milk, drink mountain springs, hunt and eat raw meat to maintain their lives. After completing the march, they came to the scheduled battlefield and were already trapped. Zhou Chong ordered the rush without hesitation and practiced without food or drink. After a whole day, many soldiers fell to the ground, either dead or asleep. Of course, they would be eliminated.

Zhou Chong understood a truth, and it would be enough for a truly excellent general to achieve the four words "clear rewards and punishments", and there was no need to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Zhou Chong decided to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. First, Zhou Chong had no military career, so I would like to feel it. Second, this kind of training was rare at that time, and there was a great resistance. Zhou Chong did this to set an example and achieve the goal of reducing resistance.

This training really created a cavalry that could fight well, but Zhou Chong himself was exhausted. After the training, he ordered the disbandment and rest. He rushed to Sibaozhai, hoping to find a bed, but he couldn't get lazy. Chunyu Jue didn't know about this and kept blaming Zhou Chong.

The Hu Ben Guard came up and wanted to lift Zhou Chong. Chunyu Jue said very understandingly: "Okay, okay, you are tired, go and rest quickly. Your rooms have been tidied up, go to bed." The Hu Ben Guard is Zhou Chong's personal guard, so you naturally have to get one for a sleeping place.

"But Lord Zhou..." The Hu Ben Guard really wanted to sleep immediately, but Zhou Chong had not yet arrived on the bed and their responsibilities were not completed, so how could they sleep alone?

Chunyu Jue called a few friends and carried Zhou Chong to the room. The Hu Ben Guards then supported each other and fell asleep in the room. As soon as they entered the room, they heard a few loud bangs. The man fell on the bed, without even taking off his armor, and fell asleep.
