Chapter 170: Organizing the Army and Fighting (2)
"You kid." Guo Qi pointed at Li Wu and said with a smile: "That's it! For the time being, you will also take care of the affairs of the Guard's Mansion first, and after the selection of those who have something to do, this king will appoint them separately. ”
"No! The lord is wise. Li Wu was overjoyed and said: "Actually, the lord, the last general was shocked that there was a candidate in his heart, but this person still needs to be trained." ”
"You're talking about Feng Yong?"
"It is precisely through this period of contact that the general will find that this son is not only loyal to the lord, but also tenacious, brave and resourceful; The only deficiency is that martial arts are not good, and the qualifications are still shallow. ”
"Then you will temper and temper him for this king." Guo Qi patted Li Wu's shoulder with a smile and said.
"No! Please rest assured that the humble duty will do his best. Li Wu said solemnly;" The last will be retired. ”
the next day, Guanshan grassland; The 30,000 Yongjun cavalry were divided into five phalanxes and lined up on an unnamed hillside, while Guo Qi, the king of Yong, stood on the hillside and looked down on the entire army; Looking at the 30,000 hussars in front of him, Guo Qi's heart was full of pride!
Once upon a time, Guo Qi was once difficult to protect himself, and every step was a fight for his life; And now with this lion iron horse, Guo Qi has the biggest capital, not only to protect himself, but it is not impossible to sweep the world in the future.
"The hour has come, I respectfully ask the lord to award the flags to the three armies." A long shout came, pulling Guo Qi's thoughts back to reality.
The war drums of "knock, knock, knock......" resounded in the sky; After the three-way drum, I saw that the honor guard sergeant had already carried several big military flags on the parade platform, and one after another the big flags were waving in the wind and hunting in the wind.
The front of the flag, much larger than the back of the military flag, I saw that this flag embroidered with a big 'Yong' character, around also embroidered dragon pattern, this flag is Guo Qi's Wang Qi Daxu.
Six flag guards escorted Wang Qi Daxu to Guo Qi, Guo Qi saluted to this flag, and all the soldiers under the hillside saluted this battle flag with Guo Qi.
Taking the battle flag from the hands of the flag bearer, Guo Qi waved the flag with both hands a few times, and then walked to the back of the middle of the parade platform, where there was a thick flagpole, and Guo Qi, the king of Yong, personally raised this royal flag to the top of the flagpole.
After the flag was raised, Guo Qi turned around, walked a few steps forward, stood under the Wang Qi Daxu and said to all the soldiers: "Brothers, when this king's Wang Qi Daxu raised the flag for the first time, that is, when our Yongjun was established, you carried this battle flag with this king, and killed all the way from Yongzhou to the foot of Longdi Mountain;
In the face of Xirong's hundreds of thousands of troops, no one was afraid and afraid, my heroic Yongjun soldiers closely followed this battle flag and marched forward bravely, we annihilated Xirong's left army, recovered Longzhou, captured Qin, Wei, Min, Cheng, Yuan, Jing, and rescued hundreds of thousands of Han people;
This royal flag will be the eternal battle flag of our Yongjun, and wherever the battle flag goes, the soldiers of our Yongjun army are courageous, invincible, and invincible. ”
"Caused by the battle flag, move forward bravely, conquer everything, and be invincible......"
The shouts over and over again sounded in the army, and the Yongjun army has not been defeated since its establishment, which is the most proud and proud thing for all the Yongjun soldiers under this royal flag; No matter when and where, these Yongjun soldiers will defend this battle flag with their blood and lives, because this battle flag is the soul of the Yongjun soldiers, and he has been deeply rooted in the bones of every Yongjun soldier.
Yongwang Guo Qi took over a battle flag embroidered with the wings of the tiger from the flag bearer, and Guo Qi shouted: "Li Wu, the first guard general of the hussars, stepped forward to receive the flying tiger flag. ”
Li Wu, who was dressed in military uniform, walked up to Guo Qi, and after saluting Guo Qi, he took the Flying Tiger Flag from Guo Qi's hand with both hands forward.
"Brothers, this Flying Tiger Banner was specially awarded by this king to all the soldiers of the first guard of the hussars; This is a banner carrying the honor of the Yongjun battle flag, today this king will award this battle flag to you, I hope you can bear the honor and responsibility represented by this banner;
As long as this battle flag is there, even if the first guard of your hussars fights until there is only one person left, this king will be rebuilt no matter what the cost is; But if this banner is lost, or falls into the hands of the enemy, even if your first guard is present, the king will revoke your establishment; The flag is in the people, and the flag cannot die if the people die. ”
"We swear to protect the flag to the death, the flag is in the people, and the flag is not dead." The six thousand soldiers of the First Guard shouted loudly together.
"Ma Jiu, the second guard general of the hussars, stepped forward to receive the flying leopard flag."
Ma Jiu walked up to Guo Qi and saluted, and took the battle flag embroidered with the leopard's wings from Guo Qi's hand, and Guo Qi said it again, which was similar to what he had just said; The 6,000 soldiers of the second guard also shouted and swore an oath.
The next ones were awarded the Flying Bear Battle Banner of the Third Guard, the Flying Lion Battle Banner of the Fourth Guard, and the Flying Wolf Battle Banner of the Fifth Guard.
With the performance of the first guard and the second guard when awarding the flag, the third, fourth, and fifth guards were naturally not to be outdone.
On this day, it was only that King Yong Guo Qi gave flags to the guards, and the guards also gave flags to the provinces below, and the provinces gave flags to the brigades below, and the departments below the brigade did not have flags; Unless the brigade units have made great contributions, or have performed very well in some aspects, they will be awarded the battle flag; Each ministry with a battle flag will have a special flag officer and flag guard.
Since each battle flag has its own distinctive characteristics, all guards are usually referred to as the Flying Tiger Guard, the Flying Leopard Guard, the Flying Bear Guard, the Flying Lion Guard, and the Flying Wolf Guard, in addition to the official numerical formation.
From this day on, a new iron-blooded lion of the Yongjun army was established, and in the days to come, they carried their respective battle flags, and under Guo Qi's royal banner, all the enemies were terrified and fled.
After the flag was presented, the training of the guards began immediately; Although they have not yet gone to the battlefield, the guards have begun to compete with each other, and they have exceeded the training outline formulated by Guo Qi during training; This kind of high-intensity training tires all the soldiers and horses every day, and in order to keep the horses in the best condition, the soldiers even have their own rations left, or take out their own salaries to feed their horses.
For a cavalryman, the war horse is his own life, even heavier than his own life, because on the battlefield, once there is any problem with the war horse under the crotch of the cavalry, then the fate brought to the cavalry is death.
The effect of such high-intensity training is very significant, and every once in a while there will be a live demonstration between the guards, as well as the units at all levels below, so as to increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
Just when the five guards of the hussars were training in the Guanshan grassland, Guo Qi returned to the Great Earthquake Pass and began to reorganize the infantry army; Today's infantry army is very chaotic, there are various provinces of the tooth army, each province of the soldiers, all the houses of the Tuntian soldiers, and all the provinces of the township soldiers; Its chaotic organization directly led to the inconvenience of the command of the Yongjun infantry and the decline of combat effectiveness, if it was not reorganized, once Xirong came to attack, the Yongjun army would suffer a big loss.
