In the recruit camp, most were new soldiers.
However, the training of these new recruits was still the responsibility of the veteran soldiers.
Although outstanding individuals would be selected from among them later to assume certain positions,
Until then, management was handled by the veterans.
Even Lin Tian, at this moment, was with the new recruits.
"I have to say, you are fortunate!"
"Our Qin state lacks warhorses, so basically it's one person, one horse. To become a cavalryman is a very difficult thing."
"But you batch of new recruits, you have a thousand fine horses. This is your fortune, and also your misfortune!"
"The training for cavalry is even more arduous than for infantry, so your days ahead will not be easy!"
The leading general, Ning Ku, surveyed the young men from Guanzhong on the training ground with a stern expression.
The battle aura emanating from him caused many to involuntarily lower their heads.
Only Lin Tian, Wang Wu, and a few others were not significantly affected.
Ning Ku had not intended to intimidate everyone.
After a sweep of the area, he spoke,
"Before the training begins, let the foremost recruit, Lin Tian, say a few words to you. I'm sure you've all heard of Lin Tian's exploits!"
Lin Tian's enfeoffment was a certainty, so Ning Ku did not mind elevating Lin Tian's prestige even at the recruit camp.
This was also a way to foster goodwill with Lin Tian.
Lin Tian readily accepted.
"My enlistment this time is not just for achieving merit and fame! It is even more so to avenge the deep hatred of our Guanzhong brethren!"
"Even an ordinary man's fury can spill blood five steps away."
"They dared to enter our Guanzhong land and slaughter our Guanzhong people, we will surely make them pay their blood debt with blood!"
"An inch of land, an inch of blood; ten thousand men, ten thousand soldiers."
"We must use our actions to tell the world, anyone who offends Great Qin shall be punished, no matter how far away they are!!"
"No matter how far away!!"
"No matter how far away!!"
"No matter how far away!!"
Lin Tian's words directly stirred many people.
Most of those who volunteered to join the army were men with fiery spirit, and Lin Tian's words directly ignited their courage.
Although they were a group of new recruits who had just joined the camp, at this moment, they wished they could grab their weapons and fight the enemy.
It was not just them; even the veteran soldiers were filled with emotion.
Lin Tian's words directly raised their morale to an extreme.
Even General Ning Ku felt an urge to follow Lin Tian into battle.
However, he quickly suppressed this impulse.
"Alright, veterans, take your respective groups for training!"
"As for Lin Tian, he will temporarily stay by my side and learn with me!"
"Understood!"
Ning Ku asking him to stay by his side was unexpected for Lin Tian.
He had thought he would undergo the most basic training like the other recruits.
If that were the case, Lin Tian would not learn much in the recruit camp.
Because whether it was swordsmanship, horsemanship, or archery, Lin Tian was extremely proficient.
Even with hunting traps, Lin Tian was skilled in every aspect.
Uncle Gen had taught Lin Tian these things from a very early age.
Therefore, the basic recruit training was somewhat too conventional for Lin Tian.
But being by Ning Ku's side seemed different.
He wouldn't have to undergo the most basic training like a new recruit.
Indeed, Ning Ku immediately explained his intention for this arrangement.
"You will eventually command soldiers, and your individual combat ability is already very strong, so you will follow me to learn the methods of commanding troops!"
"Yes!"
Thus, Lin Tian stayed by Ning Ku's side, learning the methods of commanding troops.
However, after a month of learning, Lin Tian felt that the methods of commanding troops were not much different from what Uncle Gen had taught him before.
Moreover, it seemed a bit too elementary.
After hesitating, Lin Tian spoke to Ning Ku.
"Doctor Ning!"
Ning Ku held the rank of Daifu, a five-tiered military merit system in Qin, so Lin Tian's address was correct.
Ning Ku was not surprised by Lin Tian's form of address.
"What is it? Is there something wrong?"
"Doctor Ning, before this, I had devised a few sets of troop training methods myself, but I haven't had the chance to try them. May I try them out?"
"Your devised troop training methods?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ku's brow furrowed noticeably.
The training methods currently used in Qin were passed down from within the army and had formed a standard.
The training methods for many soldiers were the same.
As for new training methods, it wasn't that no one had proposed them, but those new methods lacked much practicality.
Although Lin Tian's personal combat ability was extraordinary, he had never commanded an army. Therefore, hearing Lin Tian speak of new training methods, Ning Ku subconsciously thought of those failed methods.
This made him frown.
"These troop training methods have been accumulated and passed down through generations within the army. There are no issues with these training methods!"
"Doctor Ning, I am not saying there is anything wrong with this training method, I just feel it is a bit too basic!"
"You mean your training method is more effective?"
"I would like to try!"
Lin Tian's words caused Ning Ku's brow to furrow even deeper.
If anyone else had said this to him, he would have thoroughly criticized them.
Casually altering training methods was an absolute challenge to the rules within the army and a provocation to him, Ning Ku.
But this person was Lin Tian, a recruit, and the situation was somewhat different.
"I can support you using a new training method, but the number of people you train cannot exceed ten!"
"Your new training method requires their willing participation, and after one month, I will also inspect the results of your training."
"If, after one month, there is a significant difference between the people you trained and those I trained!"
"You must abandon your training method, and you will also need to compensate those ten people for their wasted time, by providing financial compensation to their families."
"Agreed!"
Hearing these terms, Lin Tian agreed without hesitation.
He also knew that he couldn't have everyone train with him; ten people training with him was sufficient.
An army has its methods of training, and ten individuals have their own methods.
The moment Lin Tian agreed, he had already conceived how he would train them.
Ning Ku was unaware of this.
"Good! Then find ten people, persuade them, and train them however you see fit!"
"After one month, the people you train will have a competition with the recruits in the camp!"
"Alright! One month from now, we shall test our prowess!"
