Chapter 68: Becoming an Army
"You don't know this, I heard that the county magistrate is from Handan, he is a big nobleman, the kind that can meet the king." Old man Yang continued: "My son recently added a grandson to me, and the family doesn't have to worry about no successor, so I want to rely on the eldest grandson to fight for the family, and it just so happens that my grandson has recently fallen in love with martial arts. My only fear was that my grandson would not be able to meet the recruitment requirements of the prefectural magistrate and be rejected. ”
"There are still conditions for the county order to recruit soldiers, so it must be an elite soldier!" Shopkeeper Xu said in amazement: "I have heard the people of Wei who are traveling around saying that Wei once had a kind of army that was rampant in the world, called Wushu, and its recruitment was known for its strictness, and the county commander would not want to create a military pawn of my Zhao State!" ”
At the same time, on the plain facing dozens of miles west outside Pingcheng City, the dust was flying, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and this was the training ground that Zhao Jie selected. The uneven land had long been leveled, and the horizontal road divided the flat land into ten pieces, and at the end of the road stood two flagpoles, the flags fluttering in the breeze. Surrounding the whole land are sharpened wooden sticks, they are deeply embedded in the earth, only about a person's height is exposed to the ground, the pointed end points to the sky, indicating the inviolability of this fast land, the whole land seems to contain a solemn atmosphere, so it seems to be somewhat out of place with the surrounding natural environment.
"The handsome man has an order! Array! Array! Several heralds galloped down the camp road on their horses, shouting loudly.
Some of the people who were sitting on the side of the road were the first to get orders from the heralds, who quickly spread the news to those around them, and about a minute later, the lowest officers in the army were dispatched. A captain quickly found his soldiers and stopped their fight with a scolding and scolding: "Ya, why did you get into my hands like a restless person?" Stop fighting, the commander has a life, quickly line up! ”
Hearing this, the soldier followed the captain back to the array with a smile on his face, and said with a little scoundrel in his mouth: "That's because we are fated, you must have been my soldier in your previous life." ”
Wu Chang smiled and gave the soldier a punch, and then quickly changed his face and said, "Stand up, don't be allowed to smile at hippies!" The soldier puffed out his chest and looked at his commander proudly.
This is the result of Zhao Jie's recent training, an army with vigor, spirit and emotion.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"The Story of the Military Formation" contains: The dreadnought army, the pro-army of King Wuzhao. At the beginning of the soldiers of the north, to control Hu Deli called the world, after the world, invincible, although several defeats but not collapse, its every battle must sing, the song said "fearless", so it was named.
Zhao Jie held a lance on his horse, ahead of the officers on the road, and the soldiers on both sides of the road saluted him one after another as he advanced. Looking at the neat team in front of him, a fierce aura erupted from his heart, and Zhao Jie suddenly understood the reason why the generals of this era yearn for war.
"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife." Zhao Jie couldn't help but shout out the military song he sat for this army and only belonged to this army.
"It's a long way to fight with your son." When the soldiers heard this, they also responded in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
"Fight with the enemy, die and live together." The senior officers behind him shouted along with Zhao Jie.
"Fight with your son, and don't slack off." The soldiers responded to Zhao Jie with even more passionate shouts.
"Step on the swallow and chase the beard." Zhao Jie raised the sky-breaking lance in his hand and shouted again excitedly.
"Fighting with the son, singing fearlessly." The soldiers also roared out the excitement in their hearts, and the loud voices endured for a long time
Approaching the parade platform, Zhao Jie turned over and dismounted, climbed the ranks, and the officers followed. "Brothers, how are you doing?" Standing still, Zhao Jie shouted
"Good! Good! Good! The soldiers shouted three times in unison.
"In the past few months, I have sweated with you on this land, and I have seen all your hard work and achievements. You may have been a farmer, or a merchant, or even a thief, but now, your past is gone, and you are about to have a new identity - that of a soldier. After a pause, Zhao Jie continued: "These 5,000 of you are selected by me from hundreds of thousands of men in Pingcheng and nearby areas, there is no doubt that you are the best and the most successful. Today, here, you are about to embark on different paths, and in the future, you may have different lives, but I ask you to work hard and not give up no matter what your path is, no matter what your future is, can you agree? ”
"Promise! Promise! Promise! It was still three uniform shouts, and the sound was still surging.
"Brothers, you must have all gotten the news that Li Taishou, who has been relieved, has given me the establishment of a battalion, and today is the day when you choose your own troops, I won't say much nonsense, and I will introduce you to the future commander." Zhao Jie turned his head to look at the officer standing behind him, and he couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling in his heart.
"Am I really part of the world?" Zhao Jie thought to himself, and then Zhao Jie pressed this thought to the bottom of his heart.
"The cavalry set up a department, specializing in horse riding and shooting and slashing, the number of 1,000 people, the main general Li Bi, the former Taishou Li Mu's brother, repeatedly made military exploits, famous Yanmen County."
"There are two crossbow soldiers, one is responsible for small crossbows and crossbows for long-range strikes, and the other is responsible for large-scale mechanical operations such as bed crossbows, with 1,000 people each, and the main generals are Ma Fu from Mayi and Xu Cheng from Pingcheng, both of whom have made great contributions to the war against the Xiongnu last year."
"The sword and shield soldiers set up a department, visited the Wei State and built the soldiers, the number of 1,000 people, the main general Zhao Yin, my cronies, repeatedly rushed between Pingcheng and Shanwucheng, Pingcheng New City built a great hero."
"Chop the horse heavy infantry, hold a giant sword, split heavy armor, resist the cavalry, the selected person needs to have the strength and staying power that ordinary people do not have, set a song, 500 people, the lone general, personally lead it. There is also a lonely family barracks, set up a song, 500 people, mounted and shot, dismounted and footed, not all-powerful and strong people are not selected, but also led by my own people. ”
Zhao Jie introduced their future commanders to the soldiers one by one, and then continued: "There are recruitment offices for various parts at the Yuanmen, brothers, think carefully!" ”
