Chapter 317 Turns out he's just cannon fodder

Er Gouzi glanced at the air around him with a sad face. He really didn't want to come!

But this unhuman master said, "You have to come, you have to come, either you come by yourself or I tie you up." He didn't give him a chance to refuse.

I don't know what stimulated the master after returning from Donglin City. Suddenly, he was like chicken blood, thinking about making trouble every day.

"So, can I stay in the camp? Or go back to Liming City, anyway, I'm not an awakener." Er Gouzi looked at Ji Li with expectation and said.

"Do you think the military's transfer order is a game? If you dare to leave the camp now, you will be a deserter. The supervision team will chop off your head in a minute!"

Ji Li looked at Niu Jiashun's clear and innocent eyes and emphasized.

"Ji Yun!"

"Teach him how to ride a warhorse, and we'll set off in half an hour."

"If he breaks his leg during the teaching process, take him to the medical class."

"Get it?"

After Ji Li finished speaking with a hint of meaning, he left the stable with Kong Shaoyou in a hurry.

"Boss, what do you mean by that just now? Do you want that kid to evade the mission under the pretext of recuperating?" Kong Shaoyou whispered behind Ji Li.

"Can't you see it?" Ji Li also lowered her voice and said, "That kid is not a second-generation ancestor who comes to gild himself. He is simply an abandoned child of a big family."

"I guess he was sent to the front line to die after the family's internal struggle failed."

"Our team is short of manpower and has no spare energy to take care of him. The superiors arranged him to our team on purpose."

"Look at the silly boy, he is so stupid. If he really follows us, he will die."

"He is still so young. If you can save him, save him..."

Er Gouzi didn't know that he had been defined as a cannon fodder sent to die by the captain. He was still following Ji Yun to learn to ride a warhorse seriously.

Er Gouzi chose a tall and strong black warhorse. Its mane was shiny, its nostrils were slightly expanded, and its strong limbs were suitable for escaping.

"Normally, to perfectly control a horse, you need to build a certain level of trust first, but our warhorse is not an ordinary beast. It will not resist your riding, and will even protect its teammates in dangerous moments."

"But this does not mean that it can be easily controlled. You must let it get familiar with you, recognize who your teammates are, and what their aura is like, so that it can find you on the battlefield."

"Reach out and gently touch its nose. This is the first step to build trust."

Ji Yun explained patiently while stroking the black horse.

Er Gouzi's hand trembled slightly, but he still mustered up the courage and slowly reached out. When his fingertips touched the moist and warm tip of Hei Feng's nose, he felt an inexplicable current passing through his body, an unprecedented sense of connection.

"Good job, now, let's try to saddle." Ji Yun said, and began to help Er Gouzi gently put the saddle on Hei Feng's back and adjust the reins.

Er Gouzi's face was full of tension. He looked back at Ji Yun, his eyes full of help. Ji Yun gave him an encouraging smile, "It's okay, I'll help you, try to get on."

After a deep breath, Er Gouzi mustered up his courage, held the reins tightly with both hands, stepped one foot into the stirrup, and with the help of Ji Yun's strength, he struggled to get on the saddle.

"Relax, swing your body with the rhythm of the horse, don't sit too straight, relax your knees a little, and let your legs gently clamp the horse's belly." Ji Yun patiently instructed on the side, and at the same time gently patted the warhorse's hips with his hands, signaling it to start moving slowly.

At first, Er Gouzi's movements were clumsy, his body swayed with every step the horse moved, and he almost lost his balance several times.

But as time went on, he began to gradually adapt and learned how to cooperate with the warhorse, feel its pace, and adjust his center of gravity.

Ji Yun waved his hand and said, "Now, try to gently clamp the horse's belly with your legs, and at the same time pull the reins on the left to make it turn left."

Er Gouzi's fingers turned slightly white due to nervousness, but he still obeyed the instructions and performed every action carefully.

The warhorse adjusted its direction very obediently, took a step gracefully, and turned to the left.

In the subsequent training, whether it was jumping obstacles, starting quickly, running at full speed, or stopping and turning, Er Gouzi completed them all smoothly.

The overly smooth process gave Er Gouzi a little illusion, wondering if he was born to be a cavalry seedling.

Ji Yun saw the expression on Er Gouzi's face, and kindly didn't tell him: the army's warhorses are all well-trained elites, and are much easier to use than traditional horses.

"It's very simple, right? But once you go on a mission, the situation is completely different." Ji Yun gently stroked the warhorse's cheek, took out a handful of feed from his waist and put it into the warhorse's mouth.

"First, you will face an unknown enemy. They may hide in the dark and use the terrain, the night or any other factors they can use to attack us.

Although the warhorse is well-trained, it may lose control due to shock in the face of a sudden attack and make a decision opposite to the rider.

At this time, you need to be calm and skillful enough to not only protect your own safety, but also ensure that the warhorse is not hurt, can quickly recover and continue to move forward."

Ji Yun supported Er Gouzi who had just dismounted from his horse with one hand, and continued, "Besides, the battlefield is full of traps and obstacles. You must always be vigilant and learn to use your intuition and judgment to avoid these dangers.

At the same time, you must learn to make quick decisions in emergency situations, such as whether to stay where you are and wait for support, or to risk crossing the dangerous area to continue the mission.

Sometimes, when the situation is urgent, we need to act separately and will not stay together all the time, so we can't take care of you at all.

When to abandon teammates and escort intelligence back to the camp, when to support teammates, and how to support, all require on-the-spot judgment.

There is no way to teach in advance."

Er Gouzi's face became uglier and uglier as Ji Yun spoke, and the joy of just learning horse riding skills quickly faded.

"I think you should have heard what the boss meant just now. If you can't make up your mind, I can help you."

"Broken legs are not a big deal for the medical team. It's better than losing your life, right?"

"I will do it on time. When you are cured, we will almost leave the camp. As for the next mission..."

"We will think of a way then."

Ji Yun patted Er Gouzi's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone.

"You underestimate me, Niu Aotian!"

A somewhat unnatural voice sounded from Er Gouzi's side. After a simple adjustment, the voice has become exactly the same as Er Gouzi's.

"A real man should make achievements on the battlefield!"

"You don't need to say anything. Wait and see me show my power."

Ji Yun turned his head in surprise and saw Er Gouzi's panicked eyes.

He seemed to try to open his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make any sound.

The only thing left was the corners of his mouth twitching, and he made a few whimpering sounds to defend himself.
