C172 Steppe Night

Due to hunger and exhaustion, the little herdsman lay in the empty car for a long time. He wanted to sleep, but he couldn't because he was hungry. He wanted to move, but he was too hungry to even move a finger.

In this half awake state, who knew how much time had passed.

He suddenly heard shouts from the front and back of the team. One after another, the little herdsman's carriage came to a halt.

Just as he was perplexed over the matter, the curtain to the classroom was lifted.

He saw Li Zi Cheng's face appear in front of him.

Although this brat was rather polite to normal people, he wasn't that courteous to a herdsman from a different race.

He frowned and called out, "Come down for dinner! Do you really think you're a lord? "

With a bitter smile, he slowly jumped off the carriage.

Because of Xiao Wen's design and the shock-proof system, after a day of shaking, the little shepherd strangely discovered that his body didn't feel any pain at all.

Even when he used to graze his horse for a day, he would feel sore all over, as if his body wasn't his own. This car did not have this kind of feeling, this made the small herdsman feel both surprised and happy.

However, what surprised the small herdsmen more was the fact that they had something to eat.

After getting off the car, he said in surprise, "You guys still care about food?"

If it was in the Huns, the nobles would rarely take charge of food after capturing the captives.

Unless there happened to be spoiled cheeses, even ordinary herdsmen would not eat it, and only then would the prisoners be fed.

If they didn't have the cheese, they would have to go out on their own. If they were lucky, they could catch some gerbils to quench their hunger. If his luck was bad, he could only gnaw on the grass roots.

At this moment, Xiao Wen walked over.

He said pleasantly, "I also need you to guide me. I don't want you to starve to death if you can. "

Little Shepherd understood.

Seeing the small herdsmen being so carefree, Xiao Wen couldn't help but sigh. As long as the common people were able to satisfy their daily needs, they would be carefree. It had to be said that ignorance was also a type of happiness.

At the same time, he looked around.

The caravan had already stopped at the trading road, and twilight had begun to cover the entire prairie.

The stars were twinkling. The starry sky was so majestic that it seemed as if it wanted to embrace everything in the world. The night wind of the plains was extremely clear.

Even the shouts and cries of the troops were like a deep aria.

The bonfire had already been lit, one by one. A big pot was placed on top of the fire. Pieces of dried meat and bags of millet were thrown down.

The copper pot hung from the fire, and the smell of tea bricks and milk wafted in the air.

Looking around, the sky and the earth were filled with a vast expanse of Liao Qiu.

Although he had already spent a month on the prairie, Xiao Wen was still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

At this moment, Xiao Wen suddenly heard that little shepherd's surprised voice.

"Is this how you all camp? This seems to be different from the other people in the caravan! "

Xiao Wen looked over and saw that the other side was pointing at the workers of the caravan, watching as they circled the carriage and placed the people and horses inside.

Xiao Wen smiled.

In fact, this was what he had read in the book.

Historically, the United States developed the West, and South African Boers migrated. It was the same train of carriages. When they spent the night in a circle, they used the car as a ready-made fortress.

Xiao Wen added other settings on top of this.

For example, with holes in the roof and windows, men and caravan guards could fire on the roof and inside the car at the enemy outside, just as they did defensive battles on the walls and in the buildings.

In addition, the front and end of the car, there are some scalable baffles, ring inlay. Add to that the iron plates hanging from the bottom of the car, the ring of fortifications had been perfectly defended. Even the best archer would find it hard to find an opening.

At first, the guards were still complaining.

After all, encountering a horse bandit on the prairie and not fighting them on horseback was like hiding in a defensive line, which was tantamount to courting death.

After all, the Great Prairie wasn't a city. Although they brought sufficient food, fuel and water were both collected from the outside.

Relying on the reserves in the caravan, they would probably be surrounded by bandits for three to five days.

However, when Xiao Wen revealed his trump card, the one hundred lever crossbows, the sounds of complaints completely disappeared.

To be able to effectively defend and counterattack through fortifications and crossbow bolts was different from being able to rely on the defense of a tortoise to hold on to its life.

The former, you only need to ensure the safest way to fight and cause more casualties than the mounted gangsters can bear.

However, the latter could only wait for death.

What they didn't know was that if Xiao Wen swapped the lever crossbows for the breeches, they would not only be able to deal with the thirty to fifty people mounted gangsters on the prairie, but also the thirty to fifty people on the prairie. After all, resources were scarce on the prairie. Any more and we will not be able to rob, and we will starve to death.)

If they were equipped with a breech-gun, it would be easy for the hundred of them to deal with more than a thousand Indians, or even three or five hundred Huns.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, A Xiang." Xiao Wen said to Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang: "I want to know how much training you guys did tonight."

"Guan Yu, go for a 2 km jog to warm up, then you can do 50 sets of pushups, 50 sets of squats and 50 sets of sit-ups, all of which are in three groups. Also, your left hand seems to be a bit thinner than your right hand, so tonight your left hand will make forty dumbbells for five sets. "

"A Xiang is still the same as before, behind a hot two-kilometer-long jog, with the abdominal muscles torn apart once, and two hours of yoga."

"These items will start an hour after the meal. You are not allowed to sleep until you've finished cooking them! Do you know? "

"Yes sir!" Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang replied in unison.

As for the students, Xiao Wen advocated teaching them according to their aptitude.

For civil officials like Yang Xiu and Shangguan Wan'er, Xiao Wen's physical fitness was only at a healthy level.

The body fat rate below 13%, lung capacity over 3000, weight not exceeding the standard, strength not too weak, does not require to be able to fight, but at least in a healthy level.

It was actually not that difficult to maintain such a level of strength.

It could even be described as simple.

After all, even in the twenty-first century, just two or three times a week at the gym was no problem at all.

In this world, Xiao Wen was more concerned with the food of these two little guys.

As long as the nutrition was balanced and developed, it would only require a little bit of exercise.

Their main daily task was to learn Professor Xiao Wen's cultural knowledge.

Although Zhuge Liang had the intention to join the military system, he was not a full-time military officer.

Therefore, his body only needed to reach a strong level.

He didn't need strict training. As long as his body's functions and proficiency in using various military weapons were up to standard, Xiao Wen wouldn't interfere much.

However, Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang had to put all their strength into their battle.

Therefore, Xiao Wen didn't plan to waste any time.

Even on the trip, he asked the two little guys for a workout.

Exercise in the morning when you get up, exercise at noon when you rest, and exercise at night before you go to bed.
