"The county lord shot so fast!"

With a cheer, Chen Fei shook his slightly sour hands and threw the longbow to Yang Zhi:

"You guys keep practicing."

Facing the flattery of his soldiers, he did not show much joy.

From taking office in mid-August to late September today, after more than 40 days of training, his archery skills have indeed improved to a certain extent. Fixed targets outside of fifty steps can maintain a steady accuracy of three or four out of ten. If it is a target outside of one hundred steps, the accuracy rate will be infinitely close to 10%. As for the targets that move quickly... it can only be left to fate.

After all, he was not a talented general who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. He was actually very satisfied with the ability to achieve this in a short period of time. What's more, God only arranged for him a friendly function without any bonus to force. If it were not forbidden, Chen Fei would not even want to set foot on the battlefield...

After Chen Fei destroyed the Zhao family, the entire Yangdi County seemed very harmonious. All families and tribes who were unwilling to be resentful during the recruitment of troops suddenly became reasonable. In just ten days, more than 300 young soldiers were sent, as well as a considerable number of pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, gold, silver, copper, iron, food and supplies.

Even Guo, who had let Chen Fei be turned away twice, asked someone to find Chu Liang's relationship and respectfully sent his feelings.

Both benevolence and force can conquer people's hearts, but the latter's effect is more immediate. Chen Fei is currently not waiting for benevolence to take effect.

Thanks to the destruction of the Zhao family, the total force in Yangdi City finally exceeded one thousand, and the cavalry organization reached one hundred - doubled compared to before!

But Chen Fei was not proud, and his thinking was still clear, because... except for Chu, the rest of the Yangdi family still did not send core members to serve him, and the legendary Guo Jia still did not visit him in person.

They were just frightened by Chen Fei's "ruthlessness" and worried that their family would become the second Zhao family!

"Swoosh!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air pulled Chen Fei back from his thoughts, and he saw Yang Zhi shoot the target fifty steps away with one arrow.

Before the other soldiers could cheer, they saw Yang Zhi bent his bow and arrow again, and the second and third arrows were shot out one after another!

Arrows in a row!

"Swoosh, swosh!"

Chen Fei's pupils contracted slightly, and these two long arrows almost penetrated the same gap... through the target!

"good!"

The cheers around him suddenly thundered.

The military focuses on personal courage,

Chen Fei also recovered from the shock and clapped his hands with a smile:

"I didn't know before that you have this good archery technique!"

Yang Zhi said with a little silly and smugly:

"It's no hard to shoot arrows. As long as the county magistrate practices hard, he will definitely be as skilled as a villain!"

Chen Fei rolled his eyes.

After all, you are a country man. Although what you said may be the truth, can you say something nice?

Despite this, Chen Fei patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder and announced loudly:

"Yang Zhi is skilled in archery and horses, and is extremely brave and well-known. Today, this county will promote him to be the Dubon (i.e., the centurion) and lead the cavalry!"

Although he only has a hundred cavalry at present, these hundred are the most elite soldiers in Yangdi!

"Xie County Lord!"

Yang Zhi knelt on one knee and shouted thanks, but the friendship on his head did not change at all.

Because... this slightly straightforward young man has long been very friendly to Chen Fei!

-

It is October, the temperature drops rapidly, and the entire Central Plains has entered a cold winter season.

Perhaps it was because China entered a cold period in history at this time, or perhaps it was because of the lack of calories in this era, the houses and clothing were not warm enough, even Chen Fei could not bear it too much in the face of the howling cold wind, so he could only reduce the training time of the troops and only conducted concentrated exercises on a clear afternoon.

Although he does not have much military literacy, thanks to the novels and games of his previous life, coupled with Jia Xu's influence, Chen Fei considers himself a qualified tactical master and seems to be very precise when deploying.

On the one hand, he set up eight posts outside Yangdi City to detect the enemy situation and convey information; on the other hand, he led a thousand soldiers to continue practicing archery skills and mobilize the people to prepare for the necessary tools for defending the city such as horse stakes, tincture oil, and squat.

According to the experience of Chu Liang and others, in the past two or three years, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves with He Yi as the leader, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, Gong Du and He Man as generals were entrenched between Runan and Yingchuan counties, but mainly in Runan. Every winter, after eating all the food, they often send troops to plunder various counties. In order to avoid casualties, some counties even prepare "protection fees" in advance to pay directly - as for how many payments are made a year, it depends purely on the mood of the Yellow Turban men...

It is worth mentioning that Runan was originally Yuan Shu's hometown, but... it was also the base for these Yellow Turban thieves. He Yi and others still depended on Yuan Shu on the surface and often cooperated with Yuan Shu to carry out some military activities. For example, they encircled Cao Cao together last year, but the ending was too miserable. The 100,000 coalition forces were killed by Cao Cao, who had just become the governor of Yanzhou, and fled for more than 600 miles in a panic.

I don’t know what kind of mentality Yuan Shu, who holds more than 100,000 troops and is vaguely the world’s number one force, is in that he can allow his hometown to be used as a paradise by a group of murderous and looted thieves!

Training the troops, building city walls, hoarding materials, occasionally leading officials to patrol the villages, condolences to the widows, and distributing relief. This is Chen Fei's main activities in the near future.

On October 12th, he had been holding back in Yangdi for two months and finally could not hold it back anymore. In this era where there was no electricity, no network, no mobile phone, no novels, games, no potatoes, corn, peppers, and cumin, and even few books, if it weren't for the pressure of survival, he would have been so bored that he would have exploded!

After observing the weather, he led most of the cavalry in Yangdi City, that is, one hundred cavalry, to rush out of the city gate with great fanfare and go hunting nearby in the name of training cavalry.

What embarrassed him was that after only racing for more than ten miles, five or six new recruits who were not equipped with Takahashi saddles were pushed down from the horse's back, which made him truly realize that it was a long way to go to build an elite iron cavalry.

There were too many wastelands and barren mountains in the chaotic times, and there was almost no effort. The hunting team discovered many wild animals, such as rabbits, pheasants, geese, falcons, boars, foxes, bisons, yellow sheep, goats, wild horses, wild dogs, jackals, wolves, wrinkles, musk deer, musk deer, badgers, snakes, weasels, and even vaguely heard the roar of tigers, which scared more than a hundred war horses trembled. The timid ones were even more sore and weak, and their urine flowed all over the ground.

"Swoosh..."

Chen Fei immediately stepped forward and shot an arrow at a black wolf, but was affected by the cold wind and turned half a foot away.

The black wolf was provoked and its limbs collapsed tightly. A pair of black eyes locked Chen Fei fiercely. The next moment, it soared into the air and rushed towards Chen Fei.

"bass!"

Chen Fei's heart tightened, and he immediately threw down his bow and arrow and pulled out his sword. He grabbed his feet and rushed towards the black wolf. But as soon as he activated the war horse, Yang Zhi beside him had already pierced the black wolf's head with one arrow!

The evil wolf rolled in the air, fell into the dust weakly, and was then trampled into pieces by the war horses that came one after another.

"Well!"

Chen Fei stopped his mount and asked Yang Zhi:

"Did you learn archery and horse since you were a child?"

Yang Zhi patted his chest:

"The villain has followed his father to hunt in the mountains since he was a child. As for riding horses... A poor and humble child like a villain has insufficient food and drink at home, so how can he have free money to buy a horse?"

After only a few days of learning, I can walk through the sun for hundreds of steps, which can only be attributed to talent!

Chen Fei had no choice but to sigh speechlessly.

But he heard Yang Zhi say:

"It's a bit strange to say. Today we encounter much more wild animals than usual!"

Chu Tong smiled and said:

"Maybe it was because of the majesty of the county magistrate that these birds and beasts were panicked and running!"

Chen Fei glanced at him:

"You go find me a tiger and then see what majesty is?"

Chu Tong smiled embarrassedly:

"The villain knows his mistake and dares not joke like this anymore."

Chen Fei turned around:

"Beasts come out of the mountains one after another, and there must be abnormal movements, natural disasters, earthquakes, or people..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a black smoke rising from the sky in the southeast direction!

One hundred knights all changed color!

Chu Tong, who was still flattering just now, had a white face:
Chapter completed!
