Chapter 252: The Great Competition
The leather leopard walked in and saw Tuoba Yuling standing next to Tuoba Fitness, and immediately understood everything, and stepped forward with a bitter face and hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that the prince has met with the fifth princess!" β
Tuoba Jian looked at the leopard with a cold face: "General Pi, you can do it, the fifth sister has been in your army for so long, but you have concealed it and not reported it, what is your intention?" β
"This Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" The leather leopard looked at Tuoba Yuling like an air bag.
Tuoba Yuling pulled Tuoba Jian's arm: "Fifth Emperor Brother, it was I who threatened General Pi to keep it a secret, it's none of his business, if you want to scold me, scold me!" β
Tuoba Jian was so entangled by his sister that he had to agree: "Okay, good!" Don't pull it, if you pull me again, this bone frame will be pulled apart by you! Leather leopard, this king will not care about this matter for the sake of the fifth sister, but this king still has to report it to His Majesty!
The leather leopard hurriedly clenched his fists: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" β
Tuoba Yuling seems to have a very strong perseverance and determination to practice martial arts, since she knew that Mulan was Zhao Junsheng's fiancΓ©e, and she was a general in the army, and she seemed to know the art of war when she led the troops to practice on weekdays, she suddenly had the heart to compete with Mulan.
On weekdays, she spends most of her time practicing martial arts, and only a small amount of time can deal with the military affairs at hand, and the rest of the time is spent studying military books and war strategies.
Zhao Junsheng didn't care much about her, as long as she didn't pester him all day long, he would burn high incense, and on average, Tuoba Yuling once a day asked him about the difficulties in cultivation, and he also gave him all the advice, just to send her away quickly.
The day of the great contest between the three armies has finally arrived, and the officers and men of all armies are gearing up and have great plans to show their strength in this great contest.
Zhao Junsheng scoffed at the appearance of these people who were so enthusiastic, and muttered to himself in his heart: "These fools, they don't know that the better they behave, the more chances they have to be sent to face the enemy army?" The more likely you are to die? β
In fact, Zhao Junsheng himself knows that these people are here for fame and fortune, in the face of great rewards for military achievements, they are always lucky about death, many people are not afraid of death, and they go into battle to kill the enemy just to make war achievements, so that they can be promoted and get rich rewards.
Zhao Junsheng's heart is actually very contradictory, he is not not yearning for high-ranking officials, in fact, he yearns for it, but he is afraid of death, because he knows that no matter how strong his martial arts are, under the impact of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is powerless in many times, and if he can go to the battlefield, he will not go to the battlefield.
Besides, he is a Han Chinese, is a heavy soldier, as an auxiliary army officer wants to transfer to the battle soldier sequence is very difficult, unless the emperor personally approves it, otherwise it is impossible, he is now a heavy soldier lieutenant of the first army, under normal circumstances, this official position is already the highest rank of the auxiliary army, unless for strategic needs to temporarily set up another official position.
Going to the battlefield with such an official position, there is no way to be promoted, it's not worth it!
On 20 May, the three-armed forces competition finally began vigorously.
The first is the group competition, which is divided into four levels, which are tithe and tithe; tooth to tooth; Competitions are held between teams and buildings.
A tooth generally has three tithes, compete with each other, select the strongest tithing to advance to participate in the next round of the competition, within two days to decide the whole army's top three tithes, these three tithes will participate in the three armed forces competition, this is the tithe-level competition.
Next is the competition at the first level, and within two days, the three teeth with the highest combat power in the whole army will be decided to participate in the three-army competition.
After that, there is a competition at the team level and a competition at the building level.
Because the baggage soldiers are not a combat class of arms, there is no need to fight with the Zhenshu army and the right guard army, until the competition at the first level, the competition of the baggage soldiers is carried out within his own battalion, Zhao Junshan did not relax his requirements for this, but strictly supervised, let them go all out, and they were not afraid of their strength leaking out behind closed doors.
In order to arouse the enthusiasm of these baggage soldiers, Zhao Junsheng proposed rich rewards, and the first, second, and third ranked soldiers, soldiers, teams, and battalions in the whole baggage army could be rewarded with money, cloth, and meat.
In these years, serving in the army, especially the baggage soldiers, are all for a bite to eat, for some meager salaries and wages, the official position of the baggage soldiers is not valued at all in the local area, and others look down on it, and the rewards of money, cloth and meat are undoubtedly more attractive to the baggage soldiers and generals than the official position.
Six days later, the results of the competition at the three levels of even, tooth and team have already been obtained, and the top three have also received rich rewards.
On the seventh day, the three battalions will face off against each other, and the first of the three battalions will participate in the competition of the three armies at the first level, and then they will also participate in the infantry confrontation of the garrison army.
On the school field, Xue Andu commanded his soldiers to launch an attack on Gao Xu's soldiers, he first resisted the attack of Gao Xu's battalion with two hundred and forty people, and then used one of the strongest teeth to move from the rear army to the left to launch a rapid attack on Gao Xu's battalion.
Gao Xu hurriedly mobilized his troops to resist, but the mobilized soldiers scattered the formation in a hurry, couldn't resist, and were quickly scattered, and then under the attack on the right flank, the soldiers of Gao Xu's battalion began to panic.
Xue Andu attacked the left flank of Gao Xu's camp with a strong tooth, and under the obstruction of the attack and the simultaneous attack on both wings, Gao Xu's camp finally couldn't resist and was completely defeated.
The Xue Andu battalion won the first place in the whole army of the baggage battalion, the Gao Xu battalion ranked second, and the high repair camp mat.
Zhao Junsheng knew the reason why Gao Xiu's battalion and Gao Xu's battalion were defeated by Xue Andu's battalion, Gao Xiu and Gao Xu were both born in the north, and they were more familiar with cavalry operations, and they were much worse than Xue Andu in terms of training and commanding infantry operations.
The oil lamp in the tooth tent burned sizzling, Zhao Junsheng sat on the main seat and looked at Xue Andu and asked: "Tomorrow we will compete with the baggage battalion of the Right Guard Army and the Fertile Field Army, and compete with the baggage battalion, we don't need to worry anymore, we must take the first place, but we can't win too easily, this scale must be grasped well, have you explained it to your brothers?" β
Xue Andu replied with a bitter face and clenched his fists: "Du Wei, you have to win the first, but you can't win too easily, even if it's not a real war, there will still be damage in the confrontation, how can the scale be so accurate?" This work is really not possible for subordinates, in the opinion of subordinates, it is better to let Brother Gao's battalion participate in the competition! β
Zhao Junsheng looked at Gao Xiu: "Gao Xiu, then let your battalion participate, and if you get the first place, the whole camp will be rewarded with fifty big sons, one pound of meat, and two pounds of noodles!" β
Xue Andu hurriedly said: "Don't don't, Captain, our battalion can do this job, it's really capable!" β
Gao Xiu couldn't bear it anymore: "Xue Andu, what do you mean?" Just now you said you couldn't do it, but now Du Wei said that there was a reward, and you said that you could do it, you are deliberately bullying me Gao Xiu is too honest, isn't it? Why don't we practice? β
If it is said that leading troops and commanding a war, Xue An will not be afraid and ambiguous in the face of Gao Xiu and Gao Xu, but if he wants to fight alone, he is really not Gao Xiu's opponent, he smiled: "Don't mind, I'm just joking, since you are willing to take this job, then leave it to you!" β
Zhao Junsheng immediately made a decision: "Then it's decided, tomorrow the Gao Xiu Battalion will fight the baggage battalion of the Right Guard Army and the Fertile Field Army!" β
Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu came to the camp of the Right Guard with two hundred soldiers, and the soldiers of the three armies who came to watch the battle were all gathered outside the fence of the camp of the Right Guard, and many people climbed the wall to find a good position to watch the battle.
Among the soldiers brought by Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu, there were seventy spearmen, seventy sword and shield soldiers, and sixty archers, and they didn't bring the Mo sword team at all, and this kind of war weapon could not be easily revealed in front of people.
On the other hand, the baggage battalion of the Fertile Field Army and the Right Guard Army, except for the equipment of the baggage battalion of the Right Guard Army, which can barely be compared with Zhao Junsheng's men, the baggage soldiers of the Fertile Field Army are simply miserable, these baggage soldiers are yellow and thin, severely malnourished, each weapon is a hand, there are only a dozen bows and arrows, and the shield is also incomplete, as for the armor, there are a small number of soldiers who do not even have a complete armor.
Before the start of the fight, it is natural to set the rules, after all, this is not a real knife and a real gun, but a drill, Zhao Junsheng and the other two captains of the baggage soldiers were called to An Dashuai's tooth tent.
In addition to Zhao Junsheng and Liu Chang, the captain of the Woye Army, and the baggage soldiers of the Right Guard Army, the three generals of the three armies, Tuoba Jian, Tuoba Jian, and Leather Leopard, were all present.
Yasuhara looked at the people present and said: "This morning, there is a competition between the baggage battalions of the three armed forces, each of the three baggage battalions has 200 people, the troops are freely matched by the commander, and all weapons and arrows must be wrapped in cloth and stained with lime. As long as a soldier is hit by a weapon or arrow and leaves a lime mark, he will be declared dead and will automatically quit! The commander will send a special person to supervise, if it is found that someone has been injured and killed and continues to stay in the battle formation, the whole camp will be disqualified, even if you win, you will cancel the results! Other relevant rules must have been familiar, and Ben Shuai will not repeat them one by one here! If you three lieutenants have any questions or are not satisfied with the rules, you can ask them! β
Zhao Junsheng immediately stood up, he hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, his subordinates have doubts!" β
An Yuan looked at Zhao Junsheng, he had a deep impression of Zhao Junsheng, when Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led troops to attack the Rouran army and captured Shelun alive, at that time he thought that the credit should be counted on Mulan's head, but later he knew from Wandu Gui that it was actually Zhao Junsheng who came up with the idea, and it was Hua Mulan who carried it out, which made him pay attention to Zhao Junsheng.
An Yuan raised his hand and said, "Zhao Duwei can say if he has any questions!" β
Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said to An Yuan and the others: "Dashuai, Wang Ye, General Tuoba, General Pi, my subordinates observed before they came in just now, the equipment of the baggage battalion of the Woye Army is not complete, a considerable part of them are wearing very old tattered armor, and some people don't even have armor, and many weapons are also some broken copper and iron, if the same casualty level is counted after being hit, the subordinates think it is unfair, on the battlefield, there is more or less armor to resist and write it down, without armor, it will be over, This is not in line with the real battlefield, so the subordinates think that such a regulation is really inappropriate! β
