(Thank you very much for the interview, thank you to Guo Nu, Crazy Knife, Short Knife, Desert, Bubu, Baozi, Guanzhong, Pipe, these good friends.) )
Chapter 360 is trustworthy
Fang Xie found that he liked the atmosphere on the school field very much, and liked to feel the magnificent fighting spirit of the soldiers. It has been more than two years since I left Fan Gu, and the feeling that was already a little strange overflowed from my heart again. The long lance is like a forest, and the horizontal knife is like the sea. This kind of scene, every time I see him, my heart will be very excited.
Luo Yao's Zhichong battalion assigned to Fang Xie is called the Shanzi Battalion, which is different from other soldiers who are named after A, B, C and D, Luo Yao's left vanguard has more than 300 battalions, ten battalions are an army, an army of 12,000 soldiers, 2,000 auxiliaries, plus horsemen and veterinary miscellaneous services, a soldier and horses are almost 15,000 people.
The numbers of each army are arranged according to numbers, and the ten battalions of each army are arranged according to the ten characters of "Bang", "Da", "Mountain", "Shift", "Broad", "Sea", "Bing", "Wei", "Hao", and "Dang".
Assigned to Fang Xie was the Shanzi Battalion of the 13th Army of the Left Guard, with 1,200 soldiers, 200 auxiliary soldiers, and 100 miscellaneous horsemen and others. It also included a hundred light cavalry, and the rest were infantry. At the beginning, the Shang State and the Mengyuan Kingdom had contacts and the borders were interconnected, so the Shang State had a certain number of cavalry at that time. However, the southerners did not like war horses and preferred boats, and the cavalry of the Shang State was useless. However, the horse farms in various parts of the Shang Kingdom provided a lot of war horses for the left avant-garde.
Although the quality of these war horses cannot be compared with Meng Yuan's elite horses, they can be used for battle. It can be said that the left avant-garde is not only the most powerful soldier of the Great Sui, but also the richest soldier of the Great Sui. You must know how many caravans Li Yuanshan plundered in order to gather a cavalry, even including the missions of small countries in the Western Regions to visit the Great Sui.
And Luo Yao didn't need to do this, the things he inherited from the Shang people were barely enough. Although it is not possible to create a strong cavalry team, the standard configuration of cavalry in each battalion can still be satisfied.
Because Luo Yao's army was too large, and it could not exceed the number of generals per guard soldier stipulated by the imperial court. Therefore, the Ochichong battalion, which was supposed to be commanded by the general from the five pins, was commanded by the commander of the Ochichong in the left front guard. The rank of Zhichong Duwei is the sixth grade, one level higher than the Xiongwu Captain, and three levels higher than the lowest-level Guoyi Lieutenant.
The team and brigade rate are not considered to be officers, and only the captain and above have the imperial court to pay the money on time every month, and there are Xuntian, and the family members are exempt from paying money and food taxes.
According to the rules of the Great Sui, Luo Yao is a general of the third rank and has the right to appoint generals below the fifth rank. However, from the military rank above the fourth rank, it must be reported to the imperial court and reviewed by the military department before it can take effect.
Fang Xie is a general from the Wupin ranger, although it is a false position, but it is one level higher than the commander of Zhichong.
The captain of the Shanzi Battalion is named Lei Hu, who is in his thirties and has strong blood. This person was promoted to lieutenant after accumulating military merits, and he only had his current status after 12 years in the army, and the speed of promotion was not fast. From this comparison, it can also be seen that Fang Jie's promotion speed is actually beyond the ordinary.
Lei Hu is a typical soldier, burly and strong, with a grim expression and no smile. It could be seen that he was not satisfied with the general's military order to assign the Shanzi Battalion to Fang Jie, but as a soldier, obeying the order was something in his bones, so he didn't say anything. When he saw Fang Jie, he also maintained enough respect, and it could be seen from the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Shanzi Camp that it was not easy for him to bring these 1,500 people well.
Fang Xie went to the Shanzi camp and snatched the command from Lei Hu. Fang Xie can understand Lei Hu's mood, even if he changes his heart, he will never feel comfortable. The mountain camp is Lei Hu's fists and feet, and he can move wherever he wants. How he wants to move his legs and how to punch, he has the final say. But now that Fang Xie has come, it means that his things have left his palm and are held in the palm of someone else's hand.
After coming out of the school field, Fang Xie went directly to the Shanzi camp, taking Chen Xiaoru Yan Mad and forty-eight flying fish robes. Walking to the door of the military tent that belonged to him now, the five captains, the twelve brigade leaders and Lei Hu who had been summoned by Fang Xie in advance were all standing at the door waiting for him. Although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the military rules of the left avant-garde. Luo Yao ruled the army strictly, and he could be called the first of the sixteen guards.
"The lowly Lei Hu and the officers above the Shanzi battalion brigade rate meet Lord Xiaofang!"
Lei Hu stepped forward and gave a standard military salute.
When Fang Xie heard that he claimed to be a lowly officer rather than a subordinate, he could feel the resentment in this person's heart.
He returned a military salute and walked into the tent.
Sitting down behind the table, Fang Xie looked at Du Weiyin in the middle of the table and was slightly stunned, then picked it up and threw it to Lei Hu: "Your things, put them away." ”
Lei Hu was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Without the seal of the commander, how can Lord Xiaofang lead the troops to give orders?" ”
"Do you know my face?"
Fang Xie asked, pointing to himself.
"Acquaintance!"
"That's good."
Fang Xie said indifferently: "From today until I leave the Shanzi Camp, the rules will be changed slightly. I know you used to have to carry the Captain's Seal with you when you transferred troops, but since I sat here, this rule has been gone. What I said is a military order, and it is a military order without the seal of the commander. And how long I will stay in the Yamaji Battalion is not up to me but to you, and if you perform well enough, then I will soon leave the Yamaji Battalion, because the general will not let me hold an elite team for long. If you are a bunch of garbage, behaving more scum than scum, then I estimate that I will not leave the Shanzi camp until you retire, you can rest assured, I am thick-skinned enough, so don't think about anything, you deliberately lose the competition in a month, I will leave, don't have this thought. ”
"You don't have to look at me with that kind of resentment, I can tell you the most direct way to get me out of the mountain camp, it doesn't take time, it will be very fast."
Fang Xie paused for a moment, then raised his chin slightly and said, "Allow you to challenge me now, now the twelve people in the military tent are counted, whoever can let me go, I will get out." If you can't kill me but you're still as entangled and hypocritical as a girl, don't blame me for killing you one by one. I'm not arrogant or arrogant, and to be honest, the twelve of you together may not be my opponent. ”
"But ......"
Fang Xie ignored the strange eyes of the captains of the brigade leaders, and continued to say lightly: "Just because one person can fight doesn't mean that he can lead the troops, and the twelve of you who can overturn are not a few in the rivers and lakes, but few can lead the troops." In the more than a year I have been in the martial arts academy, there is only one lesson that I have not missed, and that is the art of war, and I have never lost in more than a year. So in front of a man who can't beat the twelve of you combined, and whose art of war is stronger than yours, you have no choice but to obey. ”
Fang Jie's tone of voice was flat, but it was hurtful.
"I am a very direct and realistic person, I will listen to you if you are better than me, and I will listen to me if you are not as good. What I just said always counts, and if anyone in the Shanzi camp knocks me down one day, I will give way. are all soldiers, don't just shout like a woman in Qinglou, I have the ability to make you look at it, and you have to have the ability to make me look at it. It's a man who uses your strength to declare that I'm not worthy of being your leader, and then kicks me proudly, if you are all soft eggs, I would be happy to laugh and laugh at you every day, be happy! ”
He stood up and swept his eyes over those officers: "Now go out and gather all the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, including auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants, and those who do not show up after the three sound of the war drums will be dealt with by military law." Each soldier is required to bring all his equipment, except for the uniform, as long as it is a weapon that can kill, not a single piece is allowed to be left behind. After the assembly, I came to check, who didn't bring all the same, almost the same ten military sticks, not to mention the death. ”
"Yan Madness!"
"In!"
"Drumming outside the door!"
"Whoa!"
Black boy Yan responded frantically and strode out of the military tent. Lei Hu and the eleven officers under him glanced at each other, then clenched their fists and shouted, and then walked out quickly.
……
……
Chen Xiaoru followed Fang Xie out of the military tent and asked cautiously in the back: "My lord, tell those people like this, they really won't be provoked to target you?" ”
Fang Xie smiled and said, "I just want them to hate me and scold me from the heart, so that they can show their real skills." You don't understand the soldiers, and if you coax them, they will feel that they are uncles, and you can't do anything about them. On the contrary, if you look down on them, they will hold their breath and impress you. The soldiers of the left avant-garde are more and more proud of each other, and they can't control such people. ”
"What if they band together to deliberately slack off and try to force you to leave?"
"I don't mind killing people."
Fang Xie said as he walked: "The entire left-forward people have a sense of pride that no one looks down on, who is the source of this pride? It's Luo Yao. Because of Luo Yao's pride, each of them is also proud. Since Luo Yao handed over the Shanzi Camp to me, he will not regret it. Even if I use military law to deal with a few people, he won't say anything because of his face. You should know that the prouder the person, the more face he wants. ”
"If you really don't obey, you really kill someone?"
Chen Xiaoru asked with his mouth wide open.
"If you don't obey, you really kill."
Fang Xie replied in a flat tone.
Outside the door, Yan Madness had already beaten the second war drum, and the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion were well-trained, and most of them had already found their own positions and stood up. Fang Xie believed that by the third battle drum, 1,500 soldiers, even miscellaneous servants, would not be less than one person standing on the school ground.
As expected, fifteen hundred soldiers stood in unison after the third drum of war, and the line was as straight as a line drawn from a ruler in any direction. Not only were all the soldiers lined up, but according to Fang Jie's requirements, everyone brought all the weapons they could bring.
"If you think you're good at archery, stand on the left. If you feel that you are good at martial arts, you will stand on the right side of the queue. If you feel that you are okay with everything, stay where you are, and if you feel that you are not good at anything, get out! ”
Fang Jie's words made all the soldiers look at each other.
"Didn't hear me?"
Fang Xie asked loudly.
There were whispers in the crowd, and no one knew what Fang Xie was going to do. But out of habit, the soldiers began to split up according to Fang Jie's request. After they stood up, Fang Xie looked at the left side, about two hundred people, most of them on the right, and less than fifty people remained in the middle.
"You guys!"
Fang Xie pointed to the dozens of remaining people in the middle and said loudly: "From today onwards, it will be my own soldiers, and my back will be handed over to you." If it is the turn of our Shanzi battalion to fight on the battlefield, and you find that I am not in front but hiding behind you, you will chop me with a knife. ”
"Adult ......"
Lei Hu was surprised for a moment, and then couldn't help asking, "No need to compete?" ”
Fang Xie shook his head and said loudly: "You are all soldiers, and soldiers will not lie to their leaders. In a word, from today onwards I try to trust you, and you can try to trust me! If neither the general nor his own soldiers can trust anyone, then there is only one way to go on the battlefield...... Die! ”
"Are you afraid of death?"
Fang asked.
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Don't be afraid!" ”
"I'm afraid!"
Fang Xie said loudly: "So I must trust you!" And whether you are afraid of death or not, if you want to survive on the battlefield, you must trust me. ”
