Chapter 561: Take the Acropolis
Soldiers fight to the death on the battlefield not because of personal enmity, but because of the different positions of the two sides and the different orders they carry out. More than 500 light cavalry of the Tianhu Army rushed out from the East Acropolis, and the moths rushed towards Wu Song's position, and they were scattered by the red-coated cannons and the Crouching Tiger cannons.
There were only about 100 people who still rushed up without hesitation, and Wu Song was a little moved, and he couldn't bear to open fire.
"The Mo Sword Soldiers stepped forward and gave glory to these warriors." Following Wu Song's order, the Mo Dao soldiers marched forward in a neat line. Jeju's strength developed rapidly, but the army did not recruit a large number of people, mainly because of the route of elite soldiers. For example, Wu Song's Mo Dao soldiers are all tall men, over twenty years old, under thirty-five years old, strong in strength, and very strict in training, chopping hundreds of times a day. After several months of training, several pairs of shoes wore out, and the Mo knife had to be broken several times.
Mo swords were like a forest, and the soldiers moved forward slowly, without the slightest fluctuation in the face of the cavalry that rushed up.
Chop, as the enemy soldiers approached, the Modao soldiers who came into contact with the light cavalry moved, and there was only one action, that is, chop, the big knife was swung down, and the lightly armed cavalry and horses were broken.
After a few minutes the land was calm, and there the ownerless horses chirped, and the wounded soldiers wailed, but their voices grew weaker.
Miao Cheng had cold sweat on his forehead, he was too strong, he originally thought that the Jeju Army was artillery, but he didn't expect that he was a powerful faction.
"Miao Cheng, what's the situation, are you fooling me? Surrendered and came out cavalry attack. Wu Song said angrily.
Miao Zitong knelt on the ground and said, "The general is angry, these five hundred cavalry are not soldiers under my command, this is the king, no, the cavalry directly under Tian Hu, they take refuge in the city." ”
Wu Song said: "Forgive me, don't dare to lie to me, follow me into the city, if anything happens, you will not be able to protect your head." ”
Adjutant General Jin Ding followed Miao Cheng with a few wolf-like elite soldiers, the army entered the city, the East Acropolis is just a projectile place, belonging to the whole military city, there are no permanent residents in it, only some merchants, most of them have run away after the war, of course, there are some bold ones, and they continue to operate.
The next thing went well, Miao sent out the talisman arrows, and more than 2,000 soldiers handed over their weapons and armor. The Jeju Army was lenient and forbade the personal belongings of the surrendered soldiers. There was not much grain in the storehouse, only about 100,000 catties, and there was no silver left. The only thing that could get into the eye was the feather arrows.
Wu Song counted the battle situation, this battle was very satisfied, 800 enemies were annihilated, one surrendered general was received, 2,600 soldiers, more than 200 war horses were captured, and there were also a lot of spears and broadswords, although these weapons were not used by the Jeju army, but they were also iron products, which could be used by the engineering troops.
On the same day, Wu Song reported the battle situation to Zhu Wu, and Zhu Wu registered his military merits and sent the battle report to Yangquan Chaogai.
Only waited for the military order to arrive on the third day, and in the East Acropolis, Wu Song read out the commendation in front of everyone.
Miao Cheng abandoned the dark and surrendered to the light, with merit, now a small city, and a reward of three hundred taels of silver. He was given the post of deputy general, and his treatment was equivalent to that of the deputy battalion commander, and he temporarily served under the Wu Song battalion. Surrendered soldiers were selected according to the criteria, and those who did not meet the standards were sent to the Yangquan Engineering Corps for training.
It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot. And the treatment of becoming a deputy battalion of the Jeju Army is very rare. Jeju is full of military talents, and fierce generals are like clouds. Such as Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, and Wu Song are the treatment of battalion commanders, and Miao Cheng's martial arts are not good, so he can give this treatment in order to disintegrate the Tian Hu Army and make more generals surrender.
Although Miao Cheng joined the army that came over, he has completely relieved himself in the past few days, and the Jeju army will not kill the soldiers who surrendered.
When it was time to eat again, the firehead army shouted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”
The soldiers lined up, all kinds of iron rice bowls to get food, and there was nothing else in this season, cabbage and pork stewed vermicelli, Tianwang rice noodles and cakes were full to eat.
There were not enough houses, so everyone ate in groups of three or five with bowls and in the shade of the trees.
A veteran said: "If you don't say that people are more popular than people, follow Tian Dawang, if you want to eat meat, there is only one situation, you have to fight a big battle, and it would be good to be full at other times." The Jeju army is good, and they get tired of eating meat, and occasionally they have to change fish or something. ”
There are also humanitarians: "Be a soldier and eat food, eat food and be a soldier." Although our skills are not good, for the sake of our soldiers, we have made the right move to join the Jeju Army. You look at the equipment of the Jeju army, there are a lot of artillery, what do you want, even the soldiers have helmets and armor, this line of work, there is nothing to say. ”
There are also similar farther away, saying: "I'm afraid the Jeju army is more demanding, and we may not all be able to eat this bowl of rice." I'm afraid it's still the life of work. ”
"What insider information do you have, tell me?" When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked.
This human: "It's not any inside information, yesterday it was said that screening would be carried out, and only those who met the conditions could be retained in the combat units, and the others would go to the logistics troops." ”
After eating, everyone carried out some daily training as usual, and suddenly a team of elite soldiers, Wu Song, came. Miao Cheng arrived.
"Assemble."
2,700 people, assembled in teams of 100 people, stood neatly on the school grounds.
Wu Song said: "Do what I ask, any deception and behavior will be severely punished, do you understand?" ”
"Got it." The soldier responded.
Next, the soldiers are selected at the request of the officers, starting with age. Wu Song's battalion is an infantry battalion, and the requirements are relatively harsh, over 20 years old and under 35 years old. This time, more than a thousand were screened out, and all the old and weak went down. Then there was the height, the physique, the too short, the too fat all went. Until this job remains
Next is physical fitness, long-distance running training, only 500 qualified, and the overall pass rate is less than one-fifth.
The selected soldiers were happy because of the high salaries and good welfare. I was a little disappointed that I didn't choose it.
Wu Song said: "Don't be happy with the selected soldiers, because the next training will make you cry." Don't be angry if you don't choose, you have to go to the construction corps, do not undertake combat missions, and are responsible for road and bridge repairs and other projects. The military pay is the same, and the food and drink are the same. The only difference is that the bonus is less. The following began to act, and the unchosen Kai was pulled, and followed the cavalry to Yangquan. ”
The 500 soldiers selected were diluted from the original veterans, and some veterans were mobilized to serve as grassroots officers, firstly because of fast training, and secondly, to prevent spies in the army.
More than 2,200 people who went to the engineering corps were also disrupted, redistributed, and integrated into the Jeju army family as soon as possible.
Just when Wu Song was happily reorganizing the team, Tian Hu, who was not far away, spurted out a mouthful of old blood in the Jinluan Palace.
