Seeing the generals acting so quickly, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a serious face:
"Everyone, the Huns are aggressive and the situation at Yanmen Pass is critical. We don't have much time left. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, how are you prepared for what I have ordered you to do?"
Qin Hao is now a partial general, so now that he calls himself a general, no one will gossip anymore.
After Gao Shun heard this, he was the first to stand up and clasp his fists: "To inform you, young master, the 800 soldiers trapped in the camp have been replenished."
"The five hundred officers and soldiers of the broken barracks have also been replenished." Zhang Liao stepped forward and said.
Now that the war is imminent, if the two battalions, as the ace troops, do not have all the numbers, they will definitely not be able to exert their maximum combat power.
Although the addition of new soldiers will reduce the tacit understanding of cooperation between soldiers to a certain extent, the enemy should still focus on combat power at the moment, and Qin Hao can't care about anything else at this time.
The requirements for the quality of soldiers in the trapped camp and the broken barracks are too high, and not all soldiers can supplement them. In desperation, Qin Hao could only ask Zhang Liao to be obedient and personally select soldiers from the three thousand elite cavalry brought by Qin Hu.<
/p>
Although it is a waste to convert cavalry into infantry, the trap soldiers are not ordinary infantry after all. The trap soldiers who take off their heavy armor and mount a horse are also cavalry.
The trapped camp usually rides on horseback when traveling. After all, with armor weighing dozens of kilograms on the body, it is impossible to march. It is only when fighting that one dismounts and prepares for battle.
As for trapping the enemy and expanding the army, we can only wait until the decisive battle with the Xiongnu.
After hearing what the two people said, Qin Hao smiled lightly and said: "Well done, I will be of great use in trapping the camp and destroying the military camp. There must be no mistakes. Where is Qin Hu?"
"The end is here!" Qin Hu was immediately shaken when he heard this, and immediately stood up and clasped his fists in response.
"If the 7,000 generations of family soldiers and more than 11,000 prisoners of war were given to you for training..."
Although the prisoners of war agreed to join the Yanmen Army under Zhang Liao's coercion and inducement, they could not form combat capabilities without undergoing training. The situation of the family soldiers was slightly better, but they had to undergo training if they wanted to go to the battlefield.
Qin Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. With 18,000 troops and horses, the fifth brother was giving himself credit, so he couldn't help but grasp it!
However, what Qin Hao said later made Qin Hu hesitate. Qin Hao solemnly asked: "How long does it take you to complete the training?"
When Qin Hu heard this, his brows almost knitted into a line. He was good at charging into battle, but training the army was not what he liked to do.
After thinking for a while, Qin Hu clasped his fists and said seriously: "If it were me, it would probably take at least fifteen days."
"Too long." Qin Hao shook his head and asked Xu Huang: "General Gongming, what about you?"
Now that the situation at Yanmen Pass is critical, Qin Hao does not have time to wait for Qin Hu for half a month. Qin Hu had no choice but to retreat after hearing this.
After Xu Huang thought for a moment, he said succinctly: "Nine days."
"No, it's too long." Qin Hao shook his head and asked about Zhang Liao again.
"General Wenyuan, what about you?"
When Qin Hao asked Qin Hu, Zhang Liao was thinking, how long would it take him?
Now when Qin Hao asked, Zhang Liao immediately answered honestly: "Eight days."
Training an army of 18,000 people is a big project and cannot be completed in a short time. Zhang Liao had forced prisoners of war to join the army before, so he knew that this job was still not easy. Eight days was the limit of Zhang Liao's ability.<
/p>
However, Qin Hao seemed not satisfied with this number. After shaking his head in disappointment, he asked: "General Gao Shun, what about you?"
"Five days!" Gao Shun said sonorously.
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but secretly marvel in their hearts, he is indeed General Gao Shun, he is so powerful.
Although Gao Shun's military force is considered weak among the generals, his strength is leading the army in battle. All the generals present, including Zhang Liao, dare not safely say that their commanding ability is better than Gao Shun's.
Five days is already a long time, but Qin Hao is obviously still not satisfied.
Qin Hao still shook his head and asked with an unwilling face: "No, it's still too long. Who is sure that the 18,000-strong army can be trained in three days?"
"Young Master, three days is impossible." Gao Shun advised: "Eighteen thousand troops only need three days to reorganize. Even if they go to the battlefield, they will not be of much use."
Qin Hao knew that Gao Shun was telling the truth, so he rubbed his head and said with a headache: "It's not me who is making things difficult for you, but the Huns who are making things difficult for me. I will give you three days at most to prepare. After three days, they must go
Battlefield."
The generals couldn't help but fell silent for a while. They also knew the young master's difficulties, but three days was too short, and they really couldn't do it.
At this time, Yue Fei, who was standing at the end of the left row, seemed a little hesitant after hearing what Qin Hao said, wondering whether he should stand up.
He is just a military lord, will the young master trust him with such a big matter? And he has just joined the Yanmen Army, is it really okay to be so showy? Yue Fei hesitated in his heart.
Qin Hao saw Yue Fei's hesitation, so he asked: "Pengju, if it were you, could you do it?"
The generals were stunned when they heard this. They knew that the young master valued Yue Fei very much. After getting along with him for a few days, they also gained some new understandings of Yue Fei. He was highly skilled in martial arts and capable, and he was humble, so the relationship between the generals present and Yue Fei was still good.
Not bad.
But after all, Yue Fei is only a military prince, and he is currently only the commander of the young master's bodyguard. Is it necessary to ask a military prince about the task of reorganizing an 18,000-strong army?
Besides, Yue Fei has no leadership experience at all, how could he do it?
None of the generals believed that Yue Fei had this ability, except of course Zhao Yun.
Among the generals present, Zhao Yun was even more embarrassed than Yue Fei. As a small soldier, he stood with five of the eight captains of Yanmen. Although Qin Yong was not a captain, he was an army commander and a member of the Qin family.
, so Zhao Yun who was present could understand Yue Fei’s feelings, so naturally he would not question Yue Fei.
Yue Fei saw the suspicion and distrust of his colleagues, but this did not make him shrink back. Instead, it aroused Yue Fei's hidden competitiveness.
You think I can’t do it, but I want to prove it to you.
Yue Fei stood up directly, straightened his back, gritted his teeth, and said confidently:
"If the young master agrees to Yue Fei's three requests, Yue Fei is sure to complete the reorganization of these 18,000 troops and horses within three days."
The generals' first reaction when they heard this was disbelief, but seeing Yue Fei's confident look on his face, they were a little shaken. After getting along with each other these days, they also knew that Yue Fei was not the kind of person to talk big.
"Really?" Qin Hao said in surprise.
Although he knew that Yue Fei was very powerful, Qin Hao did not expect that Yue Fei could really do it. The workload of training nearly 20,000 troops in three days was so heavy that Qin Hao felt that it was a bit overwhelming.
"Yue Fei is willing to issue a military order!" Yue Fei said with a serious face.
"There's no need for a military order. I believe in Pengju. As for your three requests, let's talk about them." Qin Hao said with a smile.
