Zhang Cheng came to a soldier whose left hand had been cut off, put his helmet straight, put on his armor, and re-tied the laces that had fallen off. Then he was helped to his feet, and stooped down to pick up the spear from the ground, and put it back in his hands. Eyes firm!

When the soldier saw all this, his eyes were moist. With red eyes and a choked voice: "General......" Zhang Cheng's appointment, all the officers and men of the First Division already know.

In the army, a sergeant who has a severed hand generally means that he has lost his basic combat ability, and he is also a target for elimination. Directly from military to civilian! But what can a man like him do but fight? But when Zhang Cheng put the spear back into his hand with a firm gaze, the sergeant was full of gratitude! This means that the new captain, or Zhang Cheng, who is about to become their general, will not abandon him! He can continue to fight!

Zhang Cheng turned around and came to an officer again, this officer was none other than Qin Chao! That Qin Chao who couldn't see Zhang Cheng's dozens of rabble! It's really unpredictable, in the blink of an eye, Qin Chao has become the other party's subordinate. And Zhang Cheng proved with his practical actions that the Chengzi Brigade is not a rabble!

Zhang Cheng was not surprised, nor did he have any other expression, he knew deeply that at this moment, any expression and movement of himself would cause the sensitive nerves of the soldiers.

Qin Chao had two knife wounds on his thighs, his skin and flesh were a little turned out, and there was also a two-inch-long knife wound on his shoulder.

"You are a good general of the 1st Division! Endure! Zhang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said admiringly. I can't help but admire Zhang Cheng, who was so seriously injured, didn't say a word. He's a good man!

"The last general, swear to die on the battlefield! For the Great Dry Horse Leather Shroud! "This is the oath of a Zheng Zheng man!

"I remember!" Zhang Cheng nodded, he firmly believed that this somewhat proud man would fulfill his promise!

After appeasing a few particularly heavy soldiers, Zhang Cheng walked to a high platform, dressed in black and with a long sword, and walked up slowly with the sword in his right hand. Tie Zhu and Zhang Lao naturally stood on the left and right sides with sixty-two brothers!

All the soldiers slowly got up and insisted on standing up! Because they are all men, they are soldiers! He is the iron man of the Great Qian Empire!

Zhang Cheng looked around at everyone, he clenched his long sword, and said loudly: "All the soldiers of the First Division, I am your new captain, and now I am in charge of the First Division!" After a pause, he said: "In this battle, the Jizhou army defeated the barbarian army, killed 3,200 barbarian troops, captured 1,800 barbarian soldiers, and killed Boduo, the first brave general of the grassland!" What a big win! ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and the pain on their bodies seemed to be much lighter. But Zhang Cheng's next words made all the soldiers feel cold.

"However, for our 1st Division, it was defeat! It was a fiasco! After General Xu Shen was killed, the First Division was crushed for thousands of miles! You claim to be the elite of the Jizhou Army! But you, in my eyes, are the same as when you looked at these seventy-eight brothers under my Zhang Cheng. You are all a rabble! ”

"A true elite division, go forward bravely and never back down! They are not afraid of death, and they regard death as home! Never leave your back to the enemy! Even if they die, they will die on the way to the charge! Can you all do it? ”

"Governor! Do you want to stop him? Seeing that Zhang Cheng was not soothed, but instead sprinkled salt on their wounds, Guo Cheng, who was watching at the door, felt very inappropriate, and asked Huo Han beside him.

"The men of the Jizhou Army are all bloody! Where can they stand such agitation! This method is a hundred times more effective than gentle pacification! Zhang Cheng is right! The real elite division is not afraid of death and regards death as home! The 1st Division has been proud for too long! Huo Han was originally worried that Zhang Cheng would first set foot on the battlefield, and with the temper of the First Division, he would definitely not be able to convince the public. But at this moment, he dispelled this thought, he was glad that he had chosen Zhang Cheng as the acting general of the First Division, glanced at Zhang Cheng in the distance, and turned away.

Zhang Cheng's lecture continues!

"Others may say that you are already a defeated soldier with a broken arm and leg, and you can no longer be the elite division of the original Jizhou army!" Speaking of this, he paused, and saw that all the people lowered their heads, Zhang Cheng was also sad in his heart, he knew that this battle had broken the morale of the First Division and crushed their pride! More importantly, it is a great blessing that two-thirds of these more than 600 wounded soldiers survived! The wounds of these soldiers will become inflamed if they are infected, and the medical level of the Daqian Empire is too poor, and there are no effective anti-inflammatory drugs, and if this wound is not effectively treated, it will slowly suppurate and fester, until death!

Shaking off these thoughts, Zhang Cheng continued to shout: "However, what I want to tell you is that I, Zhang Cheng, am going to take you remnants of the defeated army and become a real elite army!" Where's the merit? Zhang Cheng put his right hand together and pointed forward.

Gong Cao stood up a little nervously, prostrate on the ground, and said resignedly: "Humble duty!" ”

"Stand up! Speak loud back! Zhang Cheng shouted at him: "First Division, don't be a bad seed!" Gong Cao was said by Zhang Cheng to be a bad seed, and he was angry in his heart, but in fact, he was also disturbed by the sudden interruption of drinking, this stimulation seemed a lot more natural!

"In this battle, which ones killed the brute dogs! Meritorious service? Zhang Cheng asked.

The standard for meritorious service of the soldiers of the Great Qian Empire was to kill the enemy's head. And there is a great difference according to the rank of the person killed. For example, if an ordinary soldier kills an ordinary sergeant, he can only be promoted to the rank of fire commander when his accumulated military merit reaches level 10. And those who kill the first fierce general of the barbarian dog like Tiezhu can be promoted up to three levels in a row. However, the higher the rank of the sergeant, the more rank he has to kill the enemy's head. A soldier can be promoted at level 10, a fire commander will be beheaded at level 20, a team will be level 30, and so on!

Gong Cao stood up, he opened the merit book, and said loudly: "In this war, the list of those who have military merits is as follows: Qin Chao, brigade commander. Behead fifteen levels, one thousand-commander. can be promoted to one level and become the lieutenant lieutenant. Liang Shan, soldier. Behead nine levels, accumulate six levels of military merit, and upgrade one level to be promoted to Fire Chief. Kang Kai, the fire chief, beheaded the eighth-level ......"

The soldiers whose names were read were listed one by one!

Let Zhang Cheng have fun, what he didn't expect was that all the senior generals of the First Division to the commander and above were all killed in this battle! The First Division is worthy of being an elite division, at least none of their generals are of a bad breed! They are all heroes with iron bones!

With a cup of tea, Gong Cao finished reading the list of meritorious people!

Zhang Cheng was shocked! Yang Wenzhao was shocked! Even Boss Zhang, who has always been self-righteous, was also deeply shocked!

"Salute to the heroes!" Zhang Cheng took the lead in giving a military salute! Sixty-two of his men saluted the six hundred and fifty-eight soldiers in front of him at the same time!

That's right! That's six hundred and fifty-eight! The vast majority of all the surviving officers and men of the First Division have made more or less meritorious contributions! There were only twelve people in the last row, blushing, even scared, afraid!

Zhang Cheng put down his hand and shouted again: "Good job!" I am honored to have the privilege of fighting with all of you, and I am proud of you! I am proud that the First Division has such a strong man as you! All meritorious service personnel will be promoted according to military merit! Hearing this, these more than 600 soldiers were all overjoyed. But the twelve sergeants behind them looked at Zhang Cheng's eyes with almost monstrous anger in fear, and their legs trembled. Hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! ”

"Where's Facao?" Zhang Cheng shouted again!

"Humble duty!" A rather calm Confucian stepped out of the queue and replied.

"What should be the crime of those who flee from the battle, cower before the battle, and do not obey orders?" Zhang Cheng pointed to the sergeant kneeling down and begging for mercy and shouted.

"Kill it!"

"Boss Zhang! Drag it out! Chop! Zhang Cheng waved his hand and shouted categorically! Boss Zhang took twenty-four brothers to escort them down, and then only heard a scream.

After a while, Boss Zhang came back and arched his hand: "General, the criminals have all been executed!" ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and he said to the more than 600 soldiers below: "From today onwards, all those who have meritorious service will be rewarded!" There has been, fine! After a pause, Zhang Cheng said to Qi Tian: "Go and ask the military doctor!" Be quick! ”

Qi Tian answered his promise and left.
