Part One Chapter Eleven Between Friends and Enemies 4
[69 Book Bar - www.] He already knows what I mean. Today is the tenth day, and it is also the deadline for Lu Jingyu to hunt down Cang Yue Gong. I thought he would not come back. If it is Lu Jingyu who returns, then In other words, he has captured Cang Yue Gong?
Jin Qianshi probably heard our conversation, and shouted from the arrow tower: "Yes! Yes! It's General Lu!" In fact, he didn't need to say more, the soldiers' shouts could already be heard clearly, and they gradually became more uniform. It was "General Lu, General Lu."
Lu Jingyu is back?
We were taken aback, but what followed were surprises.
Lu Jingyu has been gone for ten days, and in these ten days, the snake people's offensive has become stronger and stronger. Although no one said it publicly, there must be people secretly thinking that it was because Wu Hou reprimanded good generals, so that the soldiers had no fighting spirit and the generals had no fighting spirit. The fighting spirit brought them to this point. Many people secretly felt that if Lu Jingyu was here, they might have been able to defeat the Snake Man and win the battle.
Maybe because Lu Jingyu is not here, it is easier for him to be legendary. Shen Xiping, who was ranked as the second general of dragon and tiger with Lu Jingyu, was killed in just one battle. With Lu Jingyu's ability, how much better can he be than Shen Xiping?
Wu Wanling said: "Did General Lu bring Cang Yue's head back?"
Ten days ago, Marquis Wu gave Lu Jingyu an order to bring back Cang Yue Gong's head. If Lu Jingyu returned empty-handed, I'm afraid Marquis Wu's military order would not be lenient. I couldn't help but feel worried, and said: "It should go well. , otherwise General Lu may not come back."
They didn't say anything, and they probably thought so. Jin Qianshi ran down the arrow tower and said, "Commander, let's go take a look."
Leaving the defense area without permission is also a serious crime. Fortunately, the west gate is not far from the Chinese army's camp. Marquis Wu set up the Chinese army in the city originally to support the four gates. If we go quickly, we can go back and forth in just one meal. I said: "You guys go to one and see what's going on."
Yu Dai said: "I'm going!" He didn't say another word, turned and ran down the city. Jin Qianshi was walking up to me and said: "General Yu, come back quickly, we are waiting for news from you in the camp."
Yu Dai didn't look back and said, "Okay." He took the horse and ran towards the direction of the Chinese army.
Looking at his back, Jin Qianshi said: "I brought Xiao Yu here from Zuojun. He admires Lu Jingyu the most."
I smiled. In fact, not only Yu Dai, Lu Jingyu can be said to be an idol in the military. Everyone admires him. The two people I admired most in the past were Wuhou and Lu Jingyu. During the ten days of guarding the city , Marquis Wu has suffered many defeats, which inevitably tarnishes his reputation. Lu Jingyu had fled before the Snakemen attacked, so the defeat we suffered had nothing to do with him. He let go of the Republican women and children in the city, which only made people think His generosity and kindness make him even more popular.
However, I felt a vague uneasiness in my heart.
The news of Lu Jingyu's return was like a handful of salt thrown into a frying pan, boiling everywhere. Many people felt relieved that with Lu Jingyu returning to lead the left army, the war situation would definitely improve.
This overly optimistic idea made everyone in the army filled with excitement. The Right Army and the Left Army have never been on good terms. When Shen Xiping led the Right Army, the two armies were almost on the same journey, but now most of the people in the Right Army are also in the same place. Talk about it.
Perhaps the teachers are war-weary and the soldiers also hope that the division can be dispatched smoothly as soon as possible, so they don't pay much attention to the grievances between the armies now.
When walking into the Dragon Scale Army camp, the soldiers were sitting or standing lazily in the camp, mostly talking in small groups. There were many women captured in the Dragon Scale Army, and almost everyone had one.
After the snake men attacked, those women were sent to the camp, or were let go, and some were killed. If those women were still in the camp, there would probably be chaos. I couldn't help but frowned and said: "General Jin, in the army
Are you always so lazy?" Jin Qianshi said: "It has always been like this. It was always like this when Master Shen was here, but it will never be like this on the battlefield."
I brought Wu Wanling here because I wanted to use his power to rectify military discipline. If a team does not have iron-clad discipline and works independently and does not obey control, then no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of an individual soldier is, it will be in vain. When he was in the military academy, Lu Jingyu once told us
It has been said that Luo Hao's deeds were among the twelve generals when the emperor founded the country. Luo Hao was second only to Na Tingtian among the twelve generals. His troops were all from the south and were short in stature. In terms of personal combat power, they were only mediocre. But Luo Hao
Haoyi's army, known as "Iron Blade Mountain", frightened the enemy. Once another famous general Li Sijin asked Luo Hao to borrow 3,000 men to help defend. When those 3,000 men arrived at Li Sijin's camp, it was raining heavily, and Li Sijin's more than 10,000 men
Everyone hid aside to take shelter from the rain. Only Luo Hao's three thousand guest troops did not dare to move in the rain because they had not received the order to disband. After the rain, Li Sijin returned to the school to order troops and was shocked when he saw what happened. Lu Jingyu told us
When this happened, I still remember the look of admiration on his face.
"If an army does not have iron discipline, it cannot be said to be a strong army." I remember he told us this sentence several times at that time.
When we walked into the camp, the soldiers were still lazy. When they saw us, they nodded as a salute. Jin Qianshi shouted: "Gather!"
Following his order, the soldiers gathered together and lined up in three neat formations. It seemed that Shen Xiping also had his own characteristics in leading the troops. Although the Dragon Scale Army usually had poor military discipline, it seemed like a ragtag group.
Once the order is given, it will look like a strong army again.
Jin Qianshi said: "Commander, please say a few words to the brothers."
I have only been in the Dragon Scale Army for a few days, and I haven't spoken to them much yet. Most of the orders were conveyed by Jin Qianshi. Jin Qianshi must also feel that I should establish authority.
I stood in front of the queue, looked at them, and said: "Brothers, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. From today on, the Longlin Army will strengthen its drills, and General Wu Wanling will have full authority to tighten military discipline. No one in the camp is allowed to make any noise.
.Anyone who violates this will be severely punished.”
Although my words are a bit harsh, they probably don't think they are serious. When Shen Xiping was in charge, the Dragon Scale Army usually let it go, but if something happened, the military discipline was strict and cruel. I said this in a much weaker tone than Shen Xiping did at that time.
But those soldiers were probably used to being careless, so they probably didn't expect me to say such words. Although they stood up straight, the expressions on their faces were full of everything.
Jin Qianshi said: "Brothers, no matter what, we must not lose the reputation of the Dragon Scale Army. Anyway, when Lord Shen was around, our Dragon Scale Army was the strongest soldier. Even after Lord Shen passed away, we are still the strongest soldier.
"
Those soldiers stood up straight. No matter how bad their military discipline was, they still valued a soldier's honor more than anything else.
I said: "General Jin, from now on, you and General Wu will be free to train the brothers for an hour every day. We want Master Shen's spirit in heaven to know that the Dragon Scale Army will never fail."
Jin Qianshi stood up straight and said: "Yes!"
There was also a little excitement on his face. I couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in my heart. Maybe Jin Qianshi thought that I was worthy of being a brave general like this. However, he probably never thought that no matter how strong we are in training,
What's the use?
When you know there is no chance of victory, you still have to fight. That kind of stubbornness that you know you can't do but do it can be considered a kind of bravery. I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at those Dragon Scale Army soldiers with high morale.
Jin Qianshi led them through the exercises twice. They were indeed a strong force. Although they looked like a ragtag group at ordinary times, they advanced and retreated smoothly during the drills without any chaos. After the exercises, Jin Qianshi held a long knife and
He led them to do some stabbing techniques. One hundred people in the Dragon Scale Army all used long knives. This weapon is more suitable for charging and killing, but it is not suitable for long-term battles because the long knives are too heavy after all. After practicing for a while,
On the other hand, less than half of them were a little out of breath. Jin Qianshi's expression remained as usual, he was still shouting slogans, and he was not impatient. His sword skills didn't have any fancy moves, just one sword, plain and simple. If it was just one sword, there would be nothing surprising about it.
, but dozens or hundreds of knives struck down at once, the power was really like lightning striking down, and the sky thundering in anger.
Jin Qianshi may not have any other outstanding qualities, but Shen Xiping can promote him to the rank of sentry officer, which should not be underestimated. I thought silently. Now the Longlin Army has Jin Qianshi who guides military training, and Wu Wanling who maintains military discipline.
Coupled with a shrewd and capable Yu Dai, if you give me a month or two, I will definitely be able to double the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Scale Army. At that time, maybe it can really surpass the forward battalion. The problem with the forward battalion is that the command is too loose.
Each of the twenty battalions under it has its own system, and the centurions have many contradictions. The centurions alone are divided into three factions, which inevitably makes it difficult to exert their due strength. The previous Dragon Scale Army was too
Pursuing attack power, the defense is too poor. If the enemy camp cannot be charged during the charge, it will fall into the situation of fighting alone. Shen Xiping died in the battle. It was precisely because during that charge, the snake people had no camp at all, and they were all fierce.
They rushed forward without fear of death, and the super-powerful attack power of the Dragon Scale Army was useless. As a result, they were defeated one by one. Otherwise, with the thousands of soldiers selected by the Dragon Scale Army, even if they could not win, it would not be difficult to protect themselves. But
Although the Dragon Scale Army also has five sentry posts, the sentry officers are direct subordinates of the commander, and do not have the disadvantage of having multiple posts in the forward battalion.
Just as I was thinking about it, a horse rushed in from the camp gate. The man on the horse was Yu Dai. The horse ran very fast. As soon as it entered the camp gate, Yu Dai reined in the reins and the horse stood up. Jin Qianshi stood.
After making up his mind, he put away his sword and all the practicing soldiers stood still. He handed the sword to a soldier next to him, stepped forward and said, "General Yu, what happened?"
Yu Dai jumped off his horse and said: "Hurry up and prepare, the Lord will probably call for troops soon."
Are the snakemen attacking now? Even though I knew I was in the city and couldn't see outside the city at all, I couldn't help but look outside. There was some noise outside, but it was still calm.
Yu Dai gasped for air and ran towards me, saying as he ran: "Commander, the Lord probably had a falling out with General Lu."
"What?" What he said really shocked me. Lu Jingyu has always been a subordinate of Marquis Wu. In the past, Marquis Wu ordered me to capture him, and he didn't resist. How could he fall out immediately when he came back now? I said: "What the hell?"
What is it? Please explain it clearly."
Yu Dai took a breath, and when he was about to say something, a horse rushed in from the camp gate, but it was a thunder drum. He held a Chinese army general's order in his hand and shouted: "The Dragon Scale Army obeys the order!"
His voice was already loud, but now it was even more like thunder. I immediately stood up, walked forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "Commander Chu Xiuhong of the Dragon Scale Army, listen to the order."
Lei Gu threw out a general's order and said: "Your Majesty has an order, hurry to the east gate and participate in the defense. No one is allowed to leave the city."
Is there an emergency at the east gate? I took the general’s order and said, “Yes.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Lei Gu had already run out, probably going somewhere to deliver the order. I turned around and said, "General Jin, please get on your horse and set off quickly."
Someone next to me took my horse. I pressed the horse's back with one hand, and he jumped on the horse and said, "General Yu, come here."
Yu Dai also jumped on the horse again. He added a whip and came to me and said: "Commander."
I asked: "What happened? What did the Lord mean when he ordered us to defend the east gate?"
Yu Dai said: "I don't know the details, but outside the Zhongjun camp, I heard that the prince was furious, scolding General Lu in the tent, and seemed to be treasonous. I don't know what happened. Listen to the Zhongjun
The brothers said that General Lu brought more than a dozen people with him when he came back, but it seemed that he did not bring any heads. Not long after entering the tent, he heard the prince scolding him and ordered someone to call the forward camp. I heard the prince ordered Lei.
Gu went into the tent and listened to the order. I knew something must have happened and he would be back soon."
