Chapter 148: White Scatter (2)
At the fifth watch, the sky was clouded and white, and the soldiers of the Xianzi battalion had already risen under the urging of the officers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Yongzhong, the temporary battalion officer, had many and strict requirements, after taking over the Xianzi battalion, the soldiers told him to toss a lot, and it was not without complaints at first, but Li Yongzhong and the Ding team spent less time than the prescribed in front of the whole battalion to demonstrate how to go from undressing and sleeping to finally tidying up the clothes and armor and arranging the tent and bedding to be ready to set off at any time - it only took them half an hour. This surprised many people, and also made many people shut their mouths in disdain. They knew that Team Ding was so fast, but they never expected that they would be able to be so fast!
From that day on, the soldiers began to clumsily simulate the actions of Team D. There are orders from the officers, and there are also the subconscious choices of the soldiers themselves. At first, it was not very smooth, and the vigorous and resolute behavior of the D team was not only because of the long training, but also because the regulations of the D team made various provisions in detail, and the observance of the regulations made them develop good habits.
During the march, the officers gathered for a few small meetings, and several of them said a lot of useful ideas. If it wasn't obvious before, this time the officers saw it thoroughly, and Qianhu Chen Xianda obviously planned to pass on the position of the battalion officer to his son-in-law. It stands to reason that this is not very in line with the rules, but firstly, although the Xianzi battalion is hung under the name of Xunanwei, it is still an out-and-out battalion in its bones, and secondly, the vast majority of the Xianzi battalion generals are people from Liaodong, and they have always been famous for holding together in the martial arts territory of eastern Sichuan, and it is also a small thorn.
Since most of the future will have to beg for food in the hands of this young man, it is better to be wiser and follow the rules of others. Several team officers tacitly understood this, but it was not easy to follow the rules of Team D. Let's talk about the trivial matter of eating, in the past, the men used to take a big wooden barrel and put food in the team and let it go, and it was difficult for those thin soldiers with insufficient strength to grab enough food, and on the battlefield, these people also died the fastest. But due to various factors, it is extremely difficult for the Xianzi battalion to recruit soldiers, and it is really one less to die.
Now, according to the rules of Team D, the man brought the meal, and the soldiers lined up to eat in turn. Easy to say, for the first two days, the officers almost had to discount half an inch thick bamboo ruler! There were a few grumpy ones, not to mention that, they took their horsewhips and slammed them at the soldiers who were crowding around! This rule was almost unenforceable, but later the officers got together for a meeting, and then Zheng Guocai proposed to Li Yongzhong that Team D have dinner half an hour in advance, and then go to the other teams to come over to help maintain order!
This trick worked even better than the officers thought. Team D himself came from a chaotic time, and he has a lot of experience in how to deal with such a situation. First of all, a few soldiers were sent to help the men every time they were cooking, and a large bucket of food was divided into five or six wooden basins, and the queue was divided into five or six columns from the original more than 100 people, and there were only one or twenty people in each column, which greatly shortened the waiting time, and the soldiers were naturally more patient than before; It was also stipulated that the errand of cooking was carried out in turn, and the soldiers in charge of cooking were the last to eat, and after this trick, the fairness problem that had been criticized by the soldiers before was solved at once.
The officers noticed that every soldier of the D team, no matter what his position, was neither humble nor arrogant, he was calm in his salute, his body was straight, his eyes were bright, his expression was calm, and his speech was not as common as the habit of ordinary soldiers to be full of foul language and yellow tones. Whether to a superior or a subordinate, "Please, thank you, I'm sorry" are the three words that appear most frequently in Team D's speech.
It's hard to tell how the rest of the Xianzi battalion felt when facing these soldiers. Although they were in the same battalion before, after all, the Dan Ding team had not been in the camp for a long time, and the team leaders were different, and they had little contact, and everyone did not know each other very well, but now that they have had more contact, others have seen more and more that the Ding team is incompatible with the vast majority of the officers and soldiers now. The more I came into contact, the more surprised I was that Li Yongzhong was able to train such a unique team!
Some of the more courageous team officers, such as Zhou Qian, directly asked Li Yongzhong this question. He used Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Actual Record of Military Training" as shields, and the officers didn't believe it very much, but Li Yongzhong's innocent resume made them have to believe that if there are really natural generals in this world, with a few military books, they can train soldiers who are brave in battle and abide by discipline in peacetime!
Li Yongzhong only smiled silently at the words of praise. Of course, it is impossible for him to say that when he started training guards, he subconsciously referred to an army that would not appear until three hundred years later. Li Yongzhong pinned all his thoughts and imaginations about his hometown on that army, and finally trained a small team that surpassed the times at the end of the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years ago.
In the "Learning from the Advanced Unit D Team" campaign launched by the Xianzi Battalion, it was not Zheng Guocai, nor Zhou Qian, nor Feng Baoqun who won the first prize, but a team officer who Li Yongzhong was not familiar with before, named Zhao Wancai. Whether it's setting off, eating, or all kinds of small things, his team is the fastest and best except for Team D. When Zhou Qian's team was still in a mess, Zhao Wancai's team E was already able to line up quietly to eat as quickly as possible. The most rare thing is that Zhao Wancai does not show off this, if it weren't for Li Yongzhong's patrol of the camp one day and found that compared with the two teams next to him, the camp of Team E looked exceptionally tidy, and the officers would not have found the clues.
That night, Li Yongzhong asked Zhao Wancai to talk about his experience, he held back for a long time, and finally stammered out a few words, Lin Lin was nothing more than the soldiers' own ability, he did not do much. In the end, I really couldn't say anything, so I had to stand in front of everyone with a red face and a helpless face.
died of nothing that night, and later the officers themselves observed and came to the result - this Zhao Wancai has always been an honest person, and honest people don't understand the eight bends in the district. He was promoted by Chen Xianda from a small soldier all the way to the rank of captain because of his bravery in battle, but he was still used to acting with soldiers. Because of this, under the leadership of the team officers, the soldiers of Team E invested quickly, and the effect was certainly better than that of other teams.
The place where the Xianzi camp camped on the first night was very particular, although it was only ten miles away from Baisa, but it was behind a sunken valley bottom, and if you wanted to get to this place, you had to pass through an unobstructed field, and the Chishui River was at the back, even if someone came, the Xianzi camp was sure to be able to find it at the first time. The only drawback is that the traffic is not very convenient, and there are still two or three miles away from the main road.
After many days of training, not only the Ding team, but also the speed of the Xianzi battalion was also much faster, leaving the excess baggage at the bottom of the valley, Li Yongzhong ordered Feng Baoqun to leave a place to take care ofβI don't know when, Feng Baoqun's Geng team became everyone's default rear team, and most of them would be the first to think of him if they stayed behindβand then all the Xianzi battalions set out, following the route in Li Yongzhong's memory, and marched towards Bai Sasuo.
Before leaving, Feng Baoqun, who was more mature and stable than other officers, asked Li Yongzhong: "Mr. Qian, let's not wait for the people of the Xiangzi Battalion?" β
Li Yongzhong pondered for a moment, thought about it, and reluctantly ordered two people out from the personal soldiers behind him: "You go and wait on the road, and when you see the people from the Xiangzi Battalion coming, stop them and tell them not to act rashly." Let's meet at the fork in the road three miles away. β
The two of them nodded neatly, there was Qin Yong here, and he asked more: "Mr. Qian, what if the people in the Xiangzi camp don't listen?" β
"Then you will come back." Li Yongzhong said simply: "Take a hot face to stick a cold buttocks, don't do it!" β
When the Xianzi camp was about to set off, the Xiangzi camp got up lazily. The self-employed official Hou Yonggui and below, all of them were tired and verbose, and they tossed until dawn before they lazily set off on the road. The team was also laughing loudly all the way, and it did not have the quiet and solemn appearance of the march in the past.
An official of the team turned to Hou Yonggui to raise an objection, he only snorted, but it was rare to explain patiently: "If there is really a remnant of the White Lotus Sect in the White Lotus Sect, what I am most afraid of is to confront the officials and soldiers!" There are not four or five thousand people in the hands of these demon people, and they have never dared to fight hard with the officials and soldiers! Thinking about it, the core combat power is only four or five hundred mountain bandits who have accumulated years, and the rest of the people are just ignorant believers who have been coerced, and the people have been defeated. It was going to pass all the way with great fanfare, and after a while, unless all the people in the White Scatter were dead, it would be time to hear the movement! When the time comes, if you are timid and want to run, let's catch up with it and kill it with all our might! β
Hou Yonggui's style is tiresome, but the idea of fighting a war is still clear. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the voices of the officers praising Gao Ming came and went, Hou Yonggui listened proudly for a long time, and finally remembered that there was an unpleasant friendly army around him, and suddenly felt that half of the comfortable mood disappeared, and asked the soldiers next to him with a straight face: "By the way, where is the Xianzi battalion now?" β
The pro-soldier has been following Hou Yonggui's side, and it is too late to serve him, where can he take care of this? At the moment, he was stunned by Hou Yonggui's question, and finally he was still a little anxious, so he said nonsense: "The Xianzi Battalion has not come to contact us, so the little one doesn't know where the Xianzi Battalion is now." β
This answer immediately made Hou Yonggui's face darken. He has a short temper and is uncertain, but he is quite cautious in the battle, although he does not look down on the combat power of the Xianzi Battalion, but obviously he does not intend to throw away these more than 1,000 people. His idea was that if he could still enter the city, of course, he would let the Xianzi battalion explore the way first; If you can't, just wait and see nearby, and when you see that it's almost done, you can go directly to Chishuiwei to meet the army. Although he has never been to Baisasuo, he is not unfamiliar with the map, and naturally knows that this place is only a few dozen miles away from Chishui, and the foot is faster, and he can get there in half a day.
However, if you can't find the Xianzi Battalion, you will have to go to the Xiangzi Battalion on your own if you can't do reconnaissance. Hou Yonggui has long regarded the Xiangzi Camp as his private property, and he can't bear the slightest loss. Therefore, he suddenly became concerned about the traces of the Xianzi Battalion, thought about it, and immediately ordered to go down: "Pass on my general's order, Team A is the vanguard, responsible for exploring the way, if you find the Xianzi Battalion, immediately send someone back to report me." β
As he was talking, he went to see the soldier in front of him with two people hurriedly coming over, and when he saw Hou Yonggui kneeling down and kowtowing, he didn't dare to straighten his waist and get up, so he knelt on the ground and said: "Mr. Qian, the little ones met Li Qianzong's two personal soldiers in front, and they said that now the Xianzi battalion has been pulled out of the camp and set off towards Baisaso. β
This answer made Hou Yonggui very angry, he almost didn't hold back and moved, and after the two pro-soldiers left, he lost his temper: "What a Xianzi battalion, what a Li Yongzhong!" I actually played this set for Lao Tzu! Who gave Li Yongzhong the guts? A person from a merchant background is shaking now! He cursed for a long time, until his mouth was dry.
"Mr. Qian, let's go to the White Scatter House now, shall we?" When he was finally able to stop, an officer cautiously came over and asked him: "The Xianzi battalion is now running to the front, and it is not a way for us to rub in the back, so we should just go over to meet them first according to Li Qianzong's wishes." β
"They're copying the path!" Hou Yonggui glared at him fiercely, "Let's go on the road now, and if we go further, we are crashing into the hands of thieves!" What's in your head? It's all bean curd dregs? Hou Yonggui scolded the team officer who questioned him bloody. After scolding, he asked, "What about the two people in the Xianzi camp?" β
"What about the two people from the Manifest Word Camp?" Hou Yonggui suddenly asked, "Why is it that after such a short period of time, the person is gone?" β
"The two of them talked before and left." The soldiers cautiously told Hou Yonggui: "It is said that since we are unwilling to go over and join the Xianzi battalion, they will go back directly first." β
This is what Hou Yonggui never expected, he thought that since the two soldiers had made a special trip to stay and wait for them, they would naturally act together with the Xiangzi battalion.
"It is worthy of being trained by Li Yongzhong, there are no rules!" Saying a word hatefully, Hou Yonggui found himself now in a dilemma - either according to what the other party said, he would meet with Xianzi Camp in the past; Or, as he had previously thought, he would go to the White Sasa by himself.
But how to choose, Hou Yonggui has to think carefully.
"Is there anyone in the city?" Zhou Qian, who was observing, asked Cao Jinliang in a low voice - originally according to Li Yongzhong's arrangement, Team D was responsible for reconnaissance, but who knew that Zhou Qian was stalking and really persuaded Cao Jinliang to agree to take him out! Now they were hiding on a hillside opposite the city of Baisasso, covered with a thick layer of grass and branches, and were closely observing the movement on the other side.
"I look like it." Cao Jinliang didn't speak, Liu Xiaoqi took over and said, "Isn't there a person in the middle of the battlement?" And there, there, and outside the city gates, there were a few people standing. β
"Do they know we're here?" After being silent for a while, Zhou Qian couldn't help but speak: "If you know that we are coming...... Do you want to fight us? (To be continued.) )
