PFC Chapter 260: Substitute Secret Guard (3)
Chapter 260: Substitute Secret Guard (3)
Ning Ning entered the military camp and felt like a fish in water.
The same is true of the original body's wish.
In the past, Ning Mu didn’t like going to the military camp. He didn’t want to deal with these rough guys, nor did he want to take the risk of leading a team to fight. So he was the one who did all these things.
Unfortunately, even in the military camp, he had to constantly consider what Ning Mu would do in such a situation, and he couldn't make any decisions on his own.
For example, once, after a war, Ning Mu went to visit the wounded.
But Ning Mu didn't like to see those hideous wounds, and the smell there was also unpleasant. He was afraid that he would vomit, so he let his original body go.
The original body really cared about those wounded soldiers. They were all injured while serving the country. They were all loyal and righteous people, so how could I despise them?
During the visit, the original body discovered that the military doctor was negligent, causing the injuries of several wounded soldiers to worsen. He was immediately angry and forgot all about Ning Mu's manners and scolded the military doctor severely.
After the incident, Ning Mu gained a good reputation and was considered a good prince who was considerate of his subordinates!
But after the original body came back, he was scolded by Ning Mu, who also locked him in a secret cell and didn't give him any food for two days.
Ning Mu said, "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own? I will never start a war for some rough guys! If you do this, have you ever thought about what I should do next time I encounter such a situation? You really deserve to be punished for not taking the overall situation seriously!"
It feels so good to finally be able to throw off the shackles and be myself happily!
The soldiers under Ning Ning were a little hesitant about him at first. After all, he used to be a secret guard beside the prince, and he looked similar to the prince. The soldiers didn't know whether he came down just to gain military merit and leave.
Or maybe they act like officials and have no idea of their hard work.
But after getting to know him, they found that Ning Ning was not pampered at all. He was very familiar with the affairs of the military camp and treated them as brothers. The soldiers felt relieved and soon became familiar with him.
After Ning Ning understood the weapons and formations here, he felt that there were areas for improvement.
He had also learned military tactics in other worlds, so he began to train his troops using the methods he had learned.
He began to lead the soldiers to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation. The Mandarin Duck Formation consisted of eleven people in a team, with the team leader at the front, and the next two people, one holding a long shield and the other holding a rattan shield.
The long shield holders hold long shields to block enemy arrows and spears, while the rattan shield holders hold light rattan shields with javelins and waist knives. The long shield holders and rattan shield holders mainly cover the advance of the rear team. In addition to providing cover, the rattan shield holders can also engage in close combat with the enemy.
The next two are wolf-whip bearers holding wolf-whips. A wolf-whip is a bamboo with the front end slashed into a sharp shape and sharp branches left around it. Each wolf-whip is about three meters long. The wolf-whip bearers use the sharp tip of the wolf-whip to stab the enemy to cover the advance of the shield bearers and the attack of the spearmen behind them.
Next came four spearmen holding spears, two on each side, taking care of the shieldmen and wolf-whip men on the left and right sides in front respectively.
Following up were two soldiers armed with hammers and halberds to perform guard and support duties. If the enemy attacked in a roundabout way, the short-weapon soldiers would rush forward with short knives to kill the enemy.
The people in the team have clear division of labor for various weapons. As long as everyone is proficient in operating their own weapon, they can effectively kill the enemy.
Of course, the most important thing is overall coordination and strict enforcement of orders.
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the Mandarin Duck Formation can be split into a Two-Talent Formation and a Three-Talent Formation. Using it flexibly and maneuverably can effectively suppress enemies of unknown strength.
Some other generals didn't understand what he was doing and thought he was causing trouble.
But he was from the palace after all, and he used to be the prince's personal guard. Their relationship was very close. The prince had also asked him to take care of him, so perhaps what he did was also the prince's intention.
Thinking of this, no one said anything more.
Facts have proved that Ning Ning's method really works.
Soon, autumn was about to pass and it was time to harvest grain, which meant that foreigners would come to rob food and people, which they called "beating grass and grain."
Ning Ning's unit was ordered to go out to meet the enemy. After a few days of training, the soldiers led by Ning Ning had become able to form battle formations skillfully, and the foreigners happened to attack at this moment.
All I could hear was the rumbling sound of war drums, like rolling thunder, shaking the earth and crushing over.
The foreigners thought they could disperse the enemy's army as they had done in the past.
But this time, for some reason, they could only keep lingering in the same place and couldn't move forward at all.
When the opponent slashed at them wildly, they could only try their best to defend themselves and were completely unable to dodge.
To put it more bluntly, they are like a group of sheep. When surrounded by vicious wolves, they can only bleat but are unable to even bite back.
Ning Ning's team won a great victory this time, which directly dampened the morale of the foreigners.
Even if they still wanted to attack Caogu, they could only go to the territories of other Jiedushi, and they dared not go deeper, for fear that other Jiedushi had learned the same trick and would just wait for them to go deeper and then take them over.
Ning Ning made great contributions, and King Zhenbei was overjoyed.
He had been somewhat curious about Ning Ning during this period, and after getting to know her better, he realized how difficult it had been for Ning Ning over the years, and felt somewhat guilty towards her.
Moreover, he was not a person who would take credit for his subordinates' achievements, so he reported all of Ning Ning's military achievements in detail.
Soon, the court's commendation came down. In fact, the court was also very troubled by the fact that these military governors were too powerful to be removed.
If someone with no foundation climbs up, the court will be happy to support him.
Therefore, based on his military achievements, Ning Ning was awarded the title of Second-Rank General of Cavalry.
Ning Ning has traveled through so many worlds and seen so many grand scenes that he would not be dazzled by these rewards. In the eyes of others, this was being neither arrogant nor impatient. Heroes emerge from youth, and they all flattered the King of Zhenbei, saying that he had a good eye for talent.
Prince Zhenbei felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, he was delighted that his son was so outstanding, but on the other hand, he felt a little regretful that such an outstanding son was not only not a crown prince, but could not even be publicly recognized.
Moreover, Ning Ning treated him with the complete impartiality of a subordinate. It seemed that what he said that day, "If I have to clear myself of anything, I'll do it cleanly," was actually the truth.
This child is alienated from him!
Prince Zhenbei felt a little uncomfortable and didn't treat the princess well. He even asked the princess indirectly once if she had seen clearly at the time and was sure that Ning Mu was his brother?
The princess was terrified.
In fact, after saying this, King Zhenbei himself shook his head. It was meaningless to dwell on what happened in the past. Could they be swapped?
But he became more and more worried about Ning Mu, because he knew that the prince was not able to handle many difficult situations in the past, so how capable is the prince?
The princess was also anxious, and she went to Ning Mu to discuss the matter, "Mu'er, I didn't expect Ning Ning to be so ungrateful and actually spread the matter. Your father is a little worried about whether you can shoulder this responsibility. You must quickly make military achievements to reassure your father."
