    Section 23: Differences in Quality

    The main army in front stood up and marched, and the temporary camp was transformed into a temporary material stronghold by the logistics sailors.  Elante's army moved forward resolutely, and Bumishu's troops never appeared again along the way. The front troops only repaired the damaged roads and dug some small traps.

    At around three o¡¯clock in the afternoon on November 20, the Elantra vanguard army was only less than fifteen kilometers away from Shenmu City.

    "Lord Baron, as long as we climb over this five-kilometer-long mountain range, we can see the distant view of Shenmu City." Tomitsen pointed to the large and small, uneven buildings built between the mountains and the hills.  Lu said.

    "Really? Is the width of the avenue here five meters wide? How many meters is the narrowest?" Lin Fenghan wiped his sweat and asked confusedly as he looked at the very tired and panting marching army behind him.

    "The widest is seven meters and the narrowest is more than three meters. This is the largest avenue leading to Shenmu City." Tomitsen wiped his sweat, took a sip of ale, pointed to the left and said: "There are some in those places.  The roads are very narrow, and the narrowest places can only accommodate two or three people, so they are not suitable for marching."

    "Well! I understand. The army has been taking a break since 11 noon. It has been marching continuously for 4 hours now. It's time to take a rest." Lin Fenghan nodded and pointed at Bosmi with a riding crop.

    "Bosmi, you lead the light cavalry to explore the road ahead. You reach the final side of the mountains to find a suitable camping site, and leave people and horses to guard the part near the hills and mountains to lead the way. We must march there before midnight.  Rest at the end of the chain of mountains.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Lin Fenghan added: "Bring 100 people with you! Pay attention to your realm, and report back in time once you discover the situation."

    "Yes!" Bosmi nodded, and quickly led his troops and guides to run forward along the mountain road.

    "The entire army will rest for half an hour."

    "The whole army is resting!"

    "Everyone rest!"

    ¡­¡­

    The messengers shouted loudly, informing those in the front to inform those in the rear. After the notification in the rear, the voices in the rear shouted loudly. When they noticed that the troops in the front had stopped advancing, they naturally stopped.

    "I'm exhausted."

    "Yes! I have been running for a whole day. Although there are war horses and pack horses to help carry the armor, I am really tired after running for so long. My legs are numb."

    A young soldier who was born as a farmer in a mountainous country looked at the urban soldiers with a mocking look, and said with a sneer: "You can't handle it after just running so far?"

    "Yes, brother!" The muscular man next to him wiped his sweat and said, "Back then, my brother and I carried a load of more than 70 kilograms together from our hometown to the town. We walked for a day and ran hundreds of miles.  We sold walnuts on the road, and even though I was a little tired when I got back, I could still walk. Look at these city people, each one of them has a frail physique. This quality is really poor."

    "Yes!" His compatriot eldest brother nodded proudly.

    "Hmph! You country folk, do you really think that all human beings have the same well-developed limbs and simple minds as you?" A young man in his twenties, sixty-seven years old, one meter tall, with a thin face and a graceless face was sitting on the ground.  The man pointed at the two of them and said, "My family is a brewer who has been handed down from generation to generation. Can you learn the high-end technology of brewing?"

    "What?" The twenty-two-three-year-old muscular man suddenly became furious. He dropped his sword and said with thin fingers, "You dare to scold us?"

    "superior!"

    "Come on!"

    "Fight!"

    Looking at the struggle that was about to take place, the soldiers who had nothing to do around them immediately started shouting and cheering for both sides.

    "What do you guys do?"

    "Quiet!"

    Centurion Missisa of the Mixed Infantry Brigade came out, pointed at a few people and asked.  Everyone turned around to look, and saw a strong, strong-looking officer wearing a feathered bronze helmet, leather armor, and a red cloak, standing not far away with his guards. He was 1.85 meters tall and had a serious face.

    The young man¡¯s brother, a young soldier from the countryside, was the first to speak: ¡°Sir, this boy scolded me for being a countryman with a simple mind and strong limbs.¡±

    "What?" Missisa opened her eyes wide, looked at the young urban soldier lying half on the ground, then stretched out her hand to look at her own physique, and pointed at the urban youth angrily.

    "What's your name? Why are you swearing?"

    The young urban soldier watched the angry officer quickly get up from the ground, saluted and said: "Sir, my name is Ramis. These two people first scolded me, saying that urban people like me are weak and useless. I feel insulted.  Only thenScold them back.  "

    "Yeah?"

    Mississa looked at the two young men who were embarrassed to lower their heads and frowned and said, "By the way, I have been marching all the way till now, and I have found that most of those who are lagging behind, exhausted and exhausted are urban citizens."

    "You citizens should really exercise, otherwise you will lag behind the enemy whether fighting on the battlefield or escaping, and your survival will be slim!"

    "As for you two, please pay attention to your attitude next time and don't despise others, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Mississa warned seriously.

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    The three of them nodded quickly.  Missisa warned those who did not stop watching the excitement, and then walked forward.

    Lin Fenghan sat on a stone, drinking ale, eating bread, and listening to the various problems discovered by Kelande and others.

    "Baron, the physical strength of those townspeople is very poor. Today we only marched about 30 kilometers, and we fell behind five to six hundred people. This situation is only when we have pack horses to help us carry equipment."

    "Yes! The physical fitness of those urban soldiers is really poor. Although they have some talent in arithmetic and statistics, their ability to fight is too weak." Rafa said disappointedly.

    "Hey" Lin Fenghan shook his head and frowned and said: "Since their physical fitness is poor, then next time we recruit soldiers, we will recruit more rural soldiers and try to recruit as few or no urban soldiers as possible."

    "Baron! That's wrong." After hearing this, Davout came over and said to the centurions sitting together: "Soldiers in cities and towns are of higher quality and more disciplined. They are better in literature, mathematics, art, and strategy."  A little stronger. Although they are inferior in terms of physical fitness, these can be increased through training. You haven't seen that we have fewer and fewer people falling behind recently."

    "Through long-term training and marching, their physical fitness will become stronger and stronger, and these people will definitely become the main force of the army."

    Kelande looked at Davout unconvinced and said: "Soldiers in cities and towns can improve their quality through training, and soldiers in rural areas can also learn to improve their abilities through training. Aren't we fighting with strength and courage?"

    "It all seems to make sense!" Everyone nodded, and Lana asked Lin Fenghan.

    "Baron, what do you think?"

    Lin Fenghan stood up from where he was, looked seriously at some of the soldiers lying half on the ground, and said solemnly: "Dawu, what you said makes sense. When we recruit soldiers in the future, urban soldiers will be recruited first."

    "ah!"

    Kelande was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why Baron? Rural soldiers are hardworking and have better physical fitness. Why do we recruit those urban soldiers? We can also train officers from rural soldiers, the main force of the army."

    "Ke Langde, there are some things in this world that cannot be learned in a short time."

    "The body can change within three months and a half, but a person's character, wisdom, and talents take longer to cultivate. We don't have that much time, energy, and resources to change them. This is a matter of cost." Lin  Feng Han shook his head, looked at Ke Langde, and continued.

    "Nowadays, fighting relies on courage and physical strength, but wisdom and strategy are also indispensable. We must not underestimate these things. Only when the army develops in an all-round way can it become truly strong and defeat all kinds of enemies."

    "oh!"

    "Um!"

    "It makes sense."

    Everyone nodded thoughtfully, Dawu looked at Lin Fenghan with satisfaction and left slowly.
