Cui Chengxiu saw Dong Zhuang outside the big tent, this is a natural warrior, even if he is defeated a hundred times, he will still be as confident as when he first stepped on the battlefield, and feels that he can still defeat the opponent, this innate trait is destined that Dong Zhuang is already the peak of his life as a master, it is difficult to go further, he can be a general, but not a handsome. But every handsome person will like such subordinates.

for he has no fear.

But this is not a good thing for his subordinates, Dong Zhuang's third division always suffers the most casualties. In this battle, if it weren't for Dong Zhuang's characteristic, the Third Division could have reduced some casualties as much as possible.

Dong Zhuang walked in a hurry, and soon, his upright figure was like a pine tree, and when he saw Cui Chengxiu, he just nodded at him and passed by. Cui Chengxiu knew that Dong Zhuang had submitted an operational report to the commander of the siege, or he thought that the commander had deliberately used his battle plan to summon him.

Cui Chengxiu turned his head and left in a hurry, he couldn't bear to think about Dong Zhuang's disappointment or despair next, for a person like Dong Zhuang, surrender is such an unbearable thing.

Kankan walked less than a hundred steps, and suddenly there was a roar in his ears, grief, indignation, desolation, despair, all kinds of feelings were mixed in it, it was Dong Zhuang, Cui Chengxiu's footsteps paused slightly.

Starting from the Chinese army to Caijiaji, where the Third Division was stationed, it took less than half an hour to ride a horse, but Cui Chengxiu walked for nearly an hour and a half, because now in addition to him having a horse, his guards all have to rely on a pair of legs, and their war horses have become food for the soldiers.

Cui Chengxiu had to bring some more soldiers to ensure his safety, although the place where he walked was under the control of his own army, but it was not that there was no enemy, although the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in the big aspect, but it did not prevent them from making some small actions, such as sending some small groups of special operations forces to intersperse with each other's control areas, waiting for opportunities to make some actions. Cui Chengxiu himself did this, if he is lucky, he may be able to change the current crisis in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is just a luxury, but extravagance is also a hope, isn't it? Cui Chengxiu naturally didn't want to become the prey of the opponent's special operations force, the two sides were still in a state of combat in theory, and if they died at this time, they would all die in vain, and if they were captured, it would be even more humiliating.

"Division Commander, when you arrive, there is Cai Jiaji in front." One of the guards pointed ahead and said loudly.

Cui Chengxiu narrowed his eyes, the sun that was about to set shone from the direction of Caijiaji, a flagpole was erected high in front of the barracks, the yellow dragon flag of the Han Dynasty was fluttering in the wind, and the sun shone from behind, casting a long shadow on the spacious land in front.

The sentry is holding a military horn and is blowing a passionate military horn, looking from Cui Chengxiu, this horn soldier is like bathed in a golden light at this moment, and like a solidified sculpture.

With the sound of the military horn, one by one the soldiers rushed out of the barracks, standing in formation under the flagpole, and behind the running soldiers, there were some lightly wounded soldiers, who supported each other and walked out of the barracks, and did not stand in the queue, but leaned against each other, and stood against the fence of the barracks.

The queue was quickly completed, and Cui Chengxiu saw two familiar figures, one was He Dong from the Third Division and the First Regiment, and the other was Song Tao from the Third Regiment. Mao Afu of the Second Regiment was seriously injured in this battle, but I am afraid that he will not be able to get up until now.

"Commander, are they going to practice?" The guard beside him asked in surprise. Because of the lack of food, the first division's routine training has long been canceled, because training consumes energy, and in the end it consumes food, and now, they have no food.

"What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers!" Cui Chengxiu smiled slightly, "The soldiers of the third division have the smell of Dong Zhuang from top to bottom."

The horse moved slowly, and Cui Chengxiu didn't want to interrupt the routine drill of the third division.

Except for the soldiers who were on guard, the non-commissioned officers who participated in the drill did not wear armor and did not hold weapons, which was supposed to save their strength, and they were just ordinary queue training. Cui Chengxiu saw that his heart moved, and he nodded secretly, Dong Zhuang is still very good at leading the troops, at least he didn't expect this, this kind of training did not cost much body, but it greatly brought the soldiers together and made them realize that they were still in a collective. Especially in this special period, it is more possible to maintain morale on top of a considerable amount of Cheng dù.

The 3rd Division was the hardest hit this time, but now it seems that the weather is even better than its own. This point must be learned by himself, Cui Chengxiu said in his heart.

The sentry of the 3rd Division saw that it was approaching this friendly unit, and an officer quickly greeted him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the person.

"Master Cui!" He snapped and stood upright in front of Cui Chengxiu and gave a military salute.

Cui Chengxiu sat on the horse and returned the salute, "Do you know me?"

"Commander Cui, I also graduated from Jishicheng Military University, two years shorter than Commander Cui, when I entered the school, it was when Commander Cui graduated, and Commander Cui is a legend of our military university." The officer said excitedly.

"It turned out to be a junior!" Cui Chengxiu laughed, the new first army was originally trained by the students of Jishi City Military University, up to now, 80% of the officers of the entire army are also filled by graduates of this school, but it is a pity that the students who were with him and the next two years have lost too much in the previous battles, and in every battle, the grassroots officers always suffer the greatest casualties, although many of the current officers are also from Jishi City Military University, but Cui Chengxiu does not recognize them.

"What position do you hold in the Third Division now?" Choi Chengxiu asked.

"Now I am the battalion commander of the third battalion of the second regiment of the third division!" The officer said.

"Not bad!" Cui Chengxiu nodded, he was short of himself for two terms, if he followed the step-by-step process, he would almost be the battalion commander, like Song Tao of the Third Division, Mao Afu were all students who were short of his own one, and now they are all regiment commanders, and among the three regiment commanders of the Third Division, that is, a regiment He Dong came up step by step from the grassroots level.

"Do you train like this every day?" Choi Chengxiu raised his chin and asked.

"Yes, but two exercises a day, changed to one practice, the morning one was canceled, Master Dong asked everyone to sleep a little more in the morning, they could sleep until noon, and after some basic training in the evening, they would have dinner at night."

"One meal a day!"

"Yes, one meal a day! Eat and sleep!" The officer replied, "I don't feel hungry if I sleep a little more in the morning."

Cui Chengxiu laughed, "I couldn't sleep when I wanted to, but now I can sleep as long as I want, which is really a happy thing."

The officer also laughed, "At first, everyone was quite happy, but this person is really cheap, when they couldn't sleep before, everyone wanted to sleep for a while, but now they can sleep as long as they want, but no one can sleep. But in order to save my body, I have to lie in bed, and the taste is more painful than getting up early in the morning to do training."

Cui Chengxiu laughed, "Yes, because we are soldiers. By the way, how many people are still in the third division, I asked the total number."

Hearing this topic, the officer fell silent for a moment, and the smile on his face just now also froze on his face, "The Third Division fought too badly this time, and now counting the light and serious wounded, there are still more than 3,800 people left, of which 3,000 people who can still fight have just emerged, this is counting the lightly wounded."

"Didn't you say that there were more than 4,200 people?" Cui Chengxiu's face changed slightly.

"For most of the past month, many wounded have not survived." The officer whispered, "Even now, there are still seriously wounded people leaving us every day, and almost every day, we hold a funeral here to bid farewell to those departing comrades."

Cui Chengxiu took a deep breath, "I think the morale of the soldiers is not bad."

"That's it, now the big guys are holding their breath, Senior Commander Cui, when will we counterattack, we all want revenge, and the people of our third division can't die in vain." The officer clenched his fists and waved in the air, "We'll get it back tenfold."

The corners of Cui Chengxiu's mouth grinned, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Where is Master Cui from? Why are you free to come to our third division today?" The officer asked, "Our division commander Dong went to the military headquarters today."

"I'm from the military department!" Cui Chengxiu nodded at him, the school field was already close in front of him, and He Dong and Song Tao, who were standing in front of the queue, both greeted him.

Cui Chengxiu turned over and dismounted, and said to the two salute regiment leaders: "Let's go, talk inside."

He Dong and Song Tao glanced at each other with some surprise, strictly speaking, Cui Chengxiu is not their commander, what does it mean to suddenly arrive at the third division station at this time?

"How's Mao Afu doing?" While walking inward, Choi Chengxiu asked.

"Fortunately, I finally survived, although I can't move much now, but after a year and a half, there is no problem to return to the battlefield." Song Tao said, both from Jishicheng Military University, Song Tao has always been very respectful of this senior.

"Okay, let's go to Mao Afu and talk." Cui Chengxiu nodded.

He Dong and Song Tao glanced at each other again, Cui Chengxiu didn't come over without anything but came with a purpose, otherwise, there would be no need for the three of them to talk together, and at this time, Division Commander Dong happened to go to the military headquarters. There was a hint of uneasiness in the eyes of the two of them.

"Master Cui, our division commander ......" He Dong finally couldn't help but ask.

"We'll talk about it later!" Cui Chengxiu waved his hand and said.

The two were uneasy and led Cui Chengxiu to the place where Mao Afu was recuperating. (To be continued......)
