Zheng Fang was originally hiding behind a big rock, but when he discovered that the logistics team was on fire, he couldn't sit still anymore and rushed out and ran towards the logistics team.
The enemy had just shot Zheng Fang multiple times and made it clear that he wanted to behead him. When they found out that he suddenly ran out of his hiding spot, the guard captain was startled. He didn't even have time to get his shield. He led his guards and ran up to form a human wall to block the enemy.
In front of Zheng Fang, follow him and run towards the logistics team.
The third regiment of the Fourth Division was responsible for protecting the logistics regiment. When Zheng Fang arrived, the commander of the third regiment was directing the battle from the front. The deputy commander who was responsible for staying behind to put out the fire learned that Zheng Fang was coming and ran over quickly.
"How is the situation now?" Zheng Fang asked.
"Report to the division commander that the fire has been brought under control and the enemies who set the fire have been eliminated!"
The deputy commander replied: "Captain Xiao has led his men to hunt down the deserters!"
Zheng Fang felt relieved when he heard what the deputy leader said.
While the two were talking, Captain Xiao came back covered in blood, cursing as he walked.
Captain Xiao was originally the captain of the imperial army in Guangyuan County. Later, when he was escorting the Ninth Princess to Tubo, he was attacked and his army soldiers were frightened and fled.
Although Captain Xiao did not escape, he was dismissed from his post.
After several months of idleness at home, Captain Xiao joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
After all, he was a captain and had experience in leading troops. In addition, he happened to catch up with the large-scale expansion of the bodyguards and the Zhenyuan Army. He didn't even use a hammer to say hello. Captain Xiao relied on his own ability to make it in just a few days.
Within a few months, he grew from an ordinary bodyguard to a company commander.
Some time ago, the Ninth Princess expanded its troops on a large scale, and Captain Xiao directly skipped the battalion commander and became the commander of the third regiment of the 4th Division.
This kind of speed of promotion was basically impossible to occur in the previous Dakang. Even a dandy with a prince as his backer could not be promoted so quickly.
However, in Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Zhenyuan Army, this kind of promotion speed is very common, and some are even faster than Captain Xiao.
This is one of the biggest differences between the old and new regimes.
The previous strata of Dakang have been completely solidified, and every position is a carrot or a pit. Even if you have a backstage, you have to wait for others to vacate the position before you can fill it, because other people also have a backstage.
The new Dakang of Jin Feng and Ninth Princess is a brand new regime, and many positions are vacant.
In the previous Dakang court, not to mention the position of a minister, even the position of a minister could make all the powerful families break their heads, but now Tie Shixin alone holds the functions and powers of the prime minister and several ministers.
.
The situation in the military is similar to that in the court. As the team continues to expand, it faces a huge talent gap.
The first group of escorts who followed Jin Feng, as long as they were not too stupid, could at least be company commanders now.
Some people with more flexible minds or who are literate have become regimental commanders, brigade commanders and even division commanders.⑧①ZW.????m
This is one of the main reasons why so many people are willing to follow Jin Feng.
The transition between the old and new regimes is actually a redistribution of resources and power, which has allowed many people from poor families who were already desperate to see the hope of rising again, and want to follow Jin Feng to fight for wealth.
Captain Xiao is one of the representatives.
When he was the captain of the imperial army in Guangyuan County, he was not a good person. He often found excuses to knock bamboo poles against Tie Hammer and the others. It was only after he became familiar with Tie Hammer that he didn't go so far.
When he learned that Captain Xiao had joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Tie Chui was a little worried that he would bring the bad habits of the soldiers there, so he sent someone to pay attention to him for a period of time.
Later, Tie Hammer discovered that Captain Xiao seemed to be a different person after he joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. Not only did he not rely on Tie Hammer's relationship to act like a fox and a tiger, but he also completely got rid of his bad habit of being lazy and lazy, and rushed to the front every time he fought.
After Jin Feng heard about it, he praised him and said that Captain Xiao was a smart man.
Captain Xiao is indeed a smart man. He knows what kind of bodyguards Jin Feng and Zhang Liang need, what kind of talents they want, and he also knows what to do to get promoted the fastest.
Sure enough, he rose quickly and no one could find any fault with him.
Captain Xiao also became more and more fond of the atmosphere of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Here, he doesn't have to grovel to please his superiors like before, nor does he have to take advantage of the people without conscience.
As long as you have real skills and dare to work hard, you will be taken seriously in Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
So even though he has become the leader of the regiment now, he still maintains the habit of taking the lead in every battle.
The blood stains on his body now are from the battle just now.
Seeing Zheng Fang, Captain Xiao quickly straightened his back and saluted Zheng Fang: "Sir!"
"How's it going?" Zheng Fang asked.
"They're just a bunch of rabble, they've all been beaten away!"
Captain Xiao said: "They dare to ambush our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. If these bastards hadn't run so fast, I would have left them all here!"
"Okay!" Zheng Fang glanced at him sideways: "You are now the regiment leader. The regiment leader should look like a regiment leader. Your main task is to direct the battle. It is not to shout and kill like the bandits. It is not calm at all.
Don’t be angry!”
"Master, you are wrong about Commander Xiao!"
The deputy commander said with a smile: "As soon as the front stopped, Commander Xiao guessed that the enemy would probably attack the logistics group, so he prepared us in advance, otherwise we would not have been able to repel the enemy so quickly and put out the fire.
!”
"Yes, Commander, our regiment leader is very powerful. He can guess where the enemy will come out at a glance. He asked us to push the heavy crossbow over and aim it at the mountain pass in advance, and then the enemy came out from there as expected!"
"Commander, our regiment leader is really not a reckless man. He is very considerate. I have been fighting with him for a year, and I have never been attacked by a sneak attack once!"
Heroes emerge from the army, and soldiers worship heroes even more.
During normal battles, Commander Xiao always takes the lead, so the escorts are very respectful of him and he has great prestige in the regiment.
Hearing Zheng Fang's accusation, the soldiers all spoke for the regiment leader.
As a result, Captain Xiao didn't appreciate it. He raised his leg and kicked a bodyguard who was talking: "What are you doing? Master, let's just listen to you if you curse a few words. If you keep being stubborn, I'll pull out your tongue!"
The escort who was kicked was not angry, he rubbed his butt and stepped aside.
"Don't you know that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau cannot impose corporal punishment?"
Zheng Fang kicked Captain Xiao with a straight face, then turned around and left.
After turning around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Captain Xiao was very pleased to see such a change.
This shows that Captain Xiao has really been recognized by his bodyguards.
Now that the crisis in the logistics group has been resolved, it is time to start the counterattack.
"Inform the logistics team and assemble the airship immediately. I want to blow up Jiuliangou!"
