So Winters modified the chop pile by adding a crossbar to the otherwise bare wooden pile.

"Many of you have never touched a weapon." Winters stood on the high platform with a stabbing mace in his hand, and his voice reached everyone's ears clearly: "That's good."

Among the adult men in Oxhoof Valley, all those who can ride horses, shoot arrows, and use muskets have been picked off, and what is left are these "clueless sticks" in the square.

The weapons issued to these people were also literally "club" weapons-thorn maces.

"People who have learned how to use weapons are often self-righteous and unwilling to accept new knowledge, so they are not as good as you people with a blank sheet of paper." Winters scanned the square majestically: "Listen, you don't need much to fight in the battle formation, just a few.

Just learn one move and it’s enough.”

Winters first demonstrated how to hold the weapon: "Hold it with your right hand at the tail and your left hand at the middle."

Then he walked up to the chopping pile and demonstrated the steps.

Finally, the method of use is demonstrated: first with one move - deflect the crossbar, and then take a step forward to thrust.

"Just these two movements, let's practice them." Winters let go of his hands, and the stabbing mallet was deeply pierced into the wooden stake, and the tail of the rod trembled.

The Niuti Valley civilians in the square were confused at first, and then started to practice stiffly under the scolding of the sergeant.

Winters walked off the platform, and Samkin ran over and asked: "Is it still too late? Centurion?"

"It was too late, so I only asked them to practice two movements." Winters flicked his wrist and asked: "Believe it or not, if they really had to go into battle, they would forget all about even two movements. In the end, they would just be swinging.

Beating him with a stick and a stick."

"Xin." Samujin smiled happily: "When I first formed the formation, I just hit people hard with a spear. In the end, I didn't even think that the spear was pointed. Since it's too late, is it useful to let them practice this?"

"Is it useful? It may be a little useful, or it may not be useful. But it is more useful if you practice it than if you don't practice it."

Samujin nodded and asked again: "A few people from Niuho Valley came to me and said that they were shooting guns and wanted to go to the Musketeers. What do you mean?"

"No." Winters looked coldly: "What have you been doing?"

"yes."

"Have the scouts who crossed the river returned?" Winters asked for the fifth time.

"Not yet." Samujin asked tentatively: "If I don't come back, do I need to send him again?"

"Send." Winters said firmly: "Keep sending more. I will go myself!"

Trial attacks by the Terton Division became more and more frequent.

Three times on the first day, six times on the second day, twelve times on the third day, sixteen times on the fourth and fifth days. At least three or forty people were dispatched each time, and at most hundreds of people were dispatched.

.

Time is not limited to dawn, sometimes it is morning, sometimes it is afternoon, sometimes it is late at night.

The distance between the attack locations is also getting wider and wider. To the south you can reach the confluence of Pangtuo River and to the north you can reach Forge Township.

The Terdun people not only measure the depth of the water, but also smuggle a small group of people ashore to spy on the situation in Tiefeng County.

In the first three days alone, the four companies stationed in Niuti Valley and the two companies stationed in Forge Township were already exhausted.

Winters knew exactly what the fire-warmer was up to.

The Teltun people's tactics are like "bullfighting", waving red flags around the venue to lure the bull into chasing and running, and then attack when the bull is exhausted.

The enemy has many soldiers, and they are all cavalry. Winters has few soldiers, mainly infantry.

The battlefield is so vast - Zhongtiefeng County alone has 80 kilometers of river coastline.

With the mobility of the Terton Division, Winters would be uneasy if they did not make use of the width of the battlefield.

Winters' response strategy was one word: "surge troops."

On the one hand, he set about mobilizing the other five companies stationed in the town of Shenk.

On the other hand, expand the army locally.

According to the power granted to the garrison officer by the "Tolde Agreement", Winters with a stroke of his pen, all adult males in Tiefeng County were temporarily conscripted - now, everyone is a militia.

And Winters is happy to continue this low-intensity war with the Tertuns.

The people who are warming the fire want to kill the energy of the Tiefeng County people.

And Winters was killing the time of those who were warming the fire.

The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for Winters.

The situation seems to be moving in a good direction, but there is a small black spot on the smooth white paper: How can the Teltown people, who can only dig grass roots and not even eat hay, have the confidence to continue to waste it?

Winters cares about this.

Frequent exploratory attacks also involved a lot of energy from the Teltun people, causing loopholes in the Teltun people's defenses on the river banks.

According to the records from the watchtowers along the coast, the patrol frequency of Turdun Qingqi has dropped significantly in the past three days.

So Winters began to send scouts across the river to conduct reconnaissance, no matter the cost.

"Back!" Charles shouted and galloped on his horse: "We are back!"

"Where?" Winters asked.

"In the medical clinic, Father Carman's."

At the Oxhoof Valley Church, which was temporarily requisitioned as a medical center, Winters met the heroic scouts who had returned from injury.

"Centurion!" The scout didn't speak until he saw Winters in person: "It's empty! The Telton camp is empty! The main force of the barbarians is no longer on the other side of the river! Their whereabouts are unknown!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
