During the brewing storm of war in the northern part of Taiyuan, Li Xuan was organizing and drilling his troops near Jizhou City.
Mainly, it was the Shenji right camp, as the original eleven thousand men hadn't completed their training yet.
They weren't very proficient with line column formation and square formation and needed further reinforcement.
Additionally, the eight thousand newly recruited Yiwu soldiers were also practicing the operation of flintlock guns day and night.
Li Xuan didn't have expectations regarding their formations and bayonet technique, but he hoped that these Yiwu fighters would be proficient in firing before the war arrived.
To accomplish this, he wasn't stingy about the depletion of ammunition, ensuring that these new soldiers practiced every other day, conducting live-fire drill with over ten rounds each time. The main purpose was practicing loading and getting used to the recoil after firing.
