CHAPTER XXVI
Yang Qi took Li Mingwei's warrant and came to the temporary station of the barracks, and they did all the hard work of cleaning the battlefield, but their military exploits had nothing to do with them, so they all fell to the ground in frustration or sitting or lying.
"Listen to me, there is only one chance, Yang Zongqi has just been promoted, and now he is starting to select his subordinates, if you want to come, cheer up Lao Tzu!" Wei Dayong stepped forward and shouted.
"Huh!?" The sergeants of the stragglers opened their mouths wide and couldn't believe it, they must know that the sergeants in the barracks were to be selected from the household registration of the military households, and then the relatives of the military households, and they could not reach the hands of these people at all. To be precise, they are all civilians, but they have no land to plant, although their social status is higher than that of military households, but they can't eat, what's the use? Now that I have the opportunity to enter the military, it is really good, only after entering the military, my family can not only get acres of land in the future, but also earn military merits on the battlefield, and no longer have to die innocently to receive that pitiful pension. The soldiers who were originally sitting on the ground lifeless rushed forward, and they were lively for a while.
"Stand back!" Li Tianfu and several people hurriedly stepped forward to maintain order.
"Don't squeeze!"
"Line up!" Wei Dayong shouted.
"Be still!" Yang Qi couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Who are you in charge here?" ”
As soon as the soldiers of the straggler battalion heard what the main man was saying, they all took two steps back and looked into the ranks.
"See the general flag, the villain Gao Chengzhen is the main thing here." A very strong man stepped forward from behind and said.
"Very well, you can make a team." Yang Qi ordered.
"Yes!"
"Line up!" Gao Chengzhen shouted loudly, and the team of more than three hundred people began to push each other, and after a while, it began to quiet down.
"General Flag." Gao Chengzhen was busy for a long time, and then he came to Yang Qi to resume his life.
"Hmm." Yang Qi nodded and stepped forward and said, "Those over twenty-five years old are out of the ranks!" ”
This sentence extinguished half of the people's minds, and they returned to their previous state.
"Under the age of eighteen is listed!" Yang Qi continued to shout expressionlessly.
There were dozens of stragglers who bowed their heads and walked out, there were no more than 60 people present, all of them were young and strong between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, and Yang Qi was extremely hot, Wei Dayong, Li Tianfu, Wang Yuan, Cui Jiaquan, Ajie Daimyo Zhao Yingjie and other five people were the first batch of small flag officers to be promoted, and there would be their own soldiers, so the five of them also played the spirit of twelve points, and the rest of the soldiers could only look at them with envy. For Yang Qi's proposal, they were only convinced.
"Gao Chengzhen!" Yang Qi shouted.
"The villain is here!" Gao Chengzhen said.
"Will you follow me?" Yang Qi asked.
"The villain is willing." Gao Chengzhen knelt down with an excited expression on her face.
"Good!" Yang Qi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, helped him up, waved his hand and said, "Come with me!" Yang Qi also plans to take a standstill, such a quality of young and strong, he doesn't plan to let go, these people thrown into the straggler camp will also become innocent cannon fodder, can save one more is counted as one, although it is also on the battlefield, but the meaning is essentially different, other officers may not treat them as people, but Yang Qi not only treats them as people, but also sees them as a fierce medicine for the treatment of troubled times.
This operation captured a lot of weapons and equipment from the bandits, Yang Qi equipped each of them with a waist knife, a spear, the good thing is that he actually found twenty pairs of bows and arrows, Hu Feng of course will not rob Yang Qi of what he likes, Lu Dabao will not be even more, he is worried about how to repay Yang Qi for saving his life, Wang Li now looks at Yang Quanquan is look of admiration, the three of them have nothing to say, Li Mingwei's love for Yang Qi, everyone sees it, Jiang Jiren and Zhao Zhongquan will not say anything to provoke Yang Qi, This is the way of being an official, so he received what he needed smoothly.
Not unexpectedly, Lu Dabao was left behind again, and at the same time, there were more than 120 soldiers left, including more than 30 people in the barracks, and the rest were all stragglers. They were going to build a temporary camp here to receive supplies, and Lu Dabao had to go there to transport supplies himself.
The war came and ended quickly, Yang Qi did not delay time, they continued to rush in the afternoon, to join the large army before dark, the night is a terrible thing for cold weapon warfare, so in ancient times, there would be no military action at night unless it was a last resort.
Because they had already had a battle contact with the bandits, and they also knew that this group of officers and troops was not easy to touch, so they did not encounter any more attacks by the bandits along the way, but everyone was also very cautious and did not go fast, but fortunately, in the evening, the team of several hundred people finally caught up with the camp of the large army.
I saw that there were two camps a mile away from the Anding County military camp, which seemed to be the configuration of the official army.
"Which part?" The little flag officer guarding the camp gate saw another group of men coming, stepped forward to stop him and asked.
"Chief Flag Officer of Zhao Qianhu in Anding County: Yang Qi." After Yang Qi finished speaking, he handed over the waist card.
"Mr. Yang, please!" Guarding the camp gate was a small flag officer under Zhou Zijin, who was released after confirming his identity.
"Excuse me, where did those two barracks come from?" Yang Qi asked.
"One is from Wubao County and the other is from Qingjian County." The little flag officer replied.
"How many people are here?" Yang Qi continued to inquire.
"I don't know the exact number of people, but it looks like it's about the same as ours." The little flag officer came early and knew more.
"There is labor!" Yang Qi saw that he didn't know much, so he gave a salute and followed the team to the camp.
Suide County Ya. At this time, the lights were bright, and Wang Er and a group of rebel leaders were gathering together, eating and drinking, and discussing the military situation.
"Outside the city, there are now about 10,000 officers and soldiers in Wubao, Qingjian, and Anding Qianhu, but we are less than 20,000 and 5,000 elite soldiers." Wang Er came here and took a drink of the wine glass and said, "Generals, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy? ”
Wang Er, a native of Nanlujiao Village, Baishui County, in the last year of the Ming Dynasty, led hundreds of hungry people to revolt in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and has now moved to many places, and the official army has been encircled and suppressed many times by him, and the official army has been defeated several times. In the past two years, there has been a great drought in Shaanxi, the people are not hungry, and the rebels have emerged in endlessly, Wang Er's followers have surged to 20,000 people, and the system must be established when there are more people, and the rebel army generally adopts the battalion and sentry system, with five people in the army, two in the army, three in the team, three in the sentry, five in general, and five in the battalion, the number of about 3,000 people, and Wang Er is the commander himself.
"Handsome! The subordinates thought that we only needed to fortify the city and defend ourselves, lead the officers and troops to attack, and when they failed to attack the city, we would lead the army to suddenly kill, and we would definitely win a big victory! The person who spoke was Wang Gong, who followed him in the uprising and joined the village, and now served as a general of the first battalion under Wang Er's banner.
"Hey! I said General Wang, we are also real swords and guns with the officers and soldiers to fight over, now our army is winning, the momentum is like a rainbow, the officers and soldiers are fleeing from the wind, our army has opened warehouses to release grain, killed the landlords and gentry who endangered the countryside, and the people are all welcome in the middle of the road, just how many battalions of officers and soldiers outside the city? Bai Guopeng said directly on the side: "It's over!" "He is also the general of a battalion under the king.
