"They won, Wang Wu and the others won just like that?"
"A month ago, Wang Wu and the others were almost the same as me. A month later, they can actually defeat the strongest hundred people in our recruit camp. Such a change is truly earth-shattering!"
"Their combat power should be comparable to the legendary Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers!"
"Brother Tian is too amazing. In just one month, he brought about such a tremendous change in them. If he could teach us a few moves, we would definitely become stronger too!"
"I want to learn from Brother Tian, I request Brother Tian to teach me!"
Even if Ning Ku did not make the request, Lin Tian had already intended to train the Guanzhong disciples.
Because these people would become Lin Tian's comrades in arms on the battlefield, his true brothers in life and death.
Even more so, they might become Lin Tian's reliance on the battlefield.
Therefore, Lin Tian taught them without reservation.
Of course, Lin Tian mainly taught two aspects: one was tacit understanding.
Eating and sleeping together was a given, and he also increased the daily regularity of formations and the synchronization of marching speed during daily armored assaults.
With increased tacit understanding came improved coordination, and when commands were given, they could be executed without hesitation.
The second thing he taught was swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship was Lin Tian's own summary, devoid of any flashy moves, directly aimed at killing.
For this reason, Ning Ku even asked Lin Tian to give this swordsmanship a fierce name: the Thirteen Sword of Life-Taking.
The Thirteen Sword of Life-Taking did not mean that the swordsmanship only had thirteen moves, but rather that every move was indeed life-taking.
After the recruits in the recruit camp practiced the Thirteen Sword of Life-Taking, their killing power immediately improved.
Even Ning Ku and the others couldn't help but learn this swordsmanship from Lin Tian.
There was no strict order in learning; the virtuous were the teachers.
Ning Ku and the others had to admit that Lin Tian's mastery of swordsmanship was far beyond their reach.
Therefore, they learned with humility.
This kind of humble learning also allowed Lin Tian to get along very harmoniously with them, and the entire recruit camp was filled with peace and harmony.
However, this peace and harmony lasted for only one month before it was shattered.
"The war on the front lines is urgent. General Wang Ben has ordered the Grand Master Ning Ku to lead his soldiers back to his former unit!"
"As ordered!"
Grand Master Ning Ku received this transfer order and acted immediately without any hesitation.
He prepared to lead his men back to his original barracks.
At the same time, Lin Tian's transfer orders were also issued.
"Lin Tian of the recruit camp, during his recruit period, performed excellently. Before enlisting, he had already killed nine hundred and sixty-seven enemies!"
"Therefore, he is appointed as the commander of the recruit camp's two-hundred-and-fifty-man unit, awarded the fifth-rank noble title of Grand Master, with an annual salary of two hundred and fifty shi, five qing of farmland, five residences, and the right to lead ten personal guards!"
"He is ordered to lead the recruit camp under the command of General Feng Long, who is subordinate to General Teng."
"As ordered!"
No one was surprised that Lin Tian was appointed as a fifth-rank Grand Master.
Having killed nine hundred and sixty-seven enemies, falling just short of a thousand kills, sounded more like a legend.
If it weren't for the fact that this was purely personal merit, Lin Tian's noble title might have been even higher.
When Lin Tian heard the name General Teng, his heart stirred.
If he guessed correctly, this General Teng was the Qin official Nei Shi Teng who had annihilated the state of Han.
At this time, it was also the time when Qin was attacking Han. If he were to join Nei Shi Teng's command, he would inevitably have to fight against Han.
He just didn't know what kind of person this General Feng Long was.
In five thousand years of history, very few people could leave their names. Lin Tian had never heard of a general like Feng Long of Qin.
But it didn't matter, this did not affect his willingness to fight on the battlefield.
Therefore, Lin Tian accepted the order and set out with the recruit camp.
Several days later, they arrived at the battlefield.
However, upon arriving at General Feng Long's camp, they found it deserted.
"Where are the people here? Didn't they tell us to gather here?"
"There are indeed signs of encampment here, but they must have already left!"
"I suppose the fighting on the front lines started, so they couldn't bother with us and the army marched on directly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Tian, feeling a bit lost.
Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then ordered:
"Let's go to the battlefield and find one of our own armies. Then we can naturally contact General Feng Long!"
"Yes!"
No one in the recruit camp refuted Lin Tian's words.
Then, they followed Lin Tian and went directly into the depths of the battlefield.
However, they only had a rough map and no specific destination. They could only proceed along the cities.
Once they reached a Qin city, they would be able to contact the Qin army.
The first place they went to was Xiangcheng.
Xiangcheng was a large city in Han, but it had already been captured by Qin at this time.
Although the Han army launched constant counterattacks, their territory continued to shrink.
Therefore, Lin Tian believed that they would be able to find the Qin army in Xiangcheng.
Outside Xiangcheng, a fierce battle was underway.
After Qin captured Xiangcheng, they had originally left ten thousand men to guard it. Later, due to the tense war situation, another nine thousand were transferred, leaving only a thousand to guard Xiangcheng.
But unexpectedly, the Han army somehow found a loophole and three thousand troops appeared outside Xiangcheng.
They not only possessed powerful crossbows but also sophisticated siege equipment. Upon arriving at Xiangcheng, they immediately launched an attack.
"Xiangcheng belongs to our Han! This time, we will definitely recapture our Han's Xiangcheng!"
"As ordered!"
"Attack the city!"
"Yes!"
As the order to attack the city was given, the sound of horns echoed.
The heavy sound of the horns put immense pressure on everyone.
Especially the Qin troops on the city walls, they felt a great deal of pressure.
Although they had a thousand men, they did not have many archers, only fifty.
Among them were two hundred cavalry, and seven hundred and fifty were infantry.
There wasn't even a single war chariot in the entire Xiangcheng.
Facing three thousand attacking Han soldiers, they had very few defensive measures.
But even so, not a single Qin soldier on the city walls thought of abandoning the city and fleeing.
"Xiangcheng was taken by Qin, so it is ours!"
"Today, even if we die in Xiangcheng, we will not retreat one step!"
"Archers, establish defenses on the city walls, cherish every arrow, and shoot down the Han army!"
"Detach two hundred infantry to set up rolling logs and move giant stones on the city walls to assist the archers in defending the city!"
"The remaining personnel, along with the two hundred cavalry, will stand at the city gate. Once the enemy breaks through the city gate, charge directly and fight to the death with the enemy!"
"Eranbaibai Zhu Li Yinghao, stand at the city gate with the cavalry. Once the enemy breaks in, fight to the death!"
Eranbaibai Zhu Li Yinghao was the current commander of Xiangcheng. He gave himself an order: once the enemy broke through the city gate, he would be the first to charge out and fight to the death with the enemy.
Upon hearing this order, everyone trembled.
