Chapter 105: Secret Force
The outer city is located at the junction of the west city and the north city, in front of a school field at the south end.
Thousands of people came to line up, and they all came to join the army in response to Wang Sirui's call.
High scary benefits, plus defeated foreigners a few days ago.
Although there are still a large number of foreigners in the city, they have not seen foreigners in the city, but some gunshots are heard from time to time, which makes them have to believe these rumors.
"Alas, brother, looking at your body, you should have practiced, right?" In the long queue, the waiting people were also bored, so they could only find topics on their own.
Soon, they focused their attention on the man standing in front of him.
Although the man's body was slightly emaciated, the muscles on his body were very strong, and if you looked closely, you could even see the new cocoon in his hand. Obviously, these cocoons have only been worn out in the recent past.
"I have been a soldier for two years, a few days ago the foreigners came to attack, the troops were scattered, I was wounded, and now the injuries are healed, but I don't know where the troops went. Anyway, if you are idle, you will sit and eat and wait for death, it is better to follow Lord Wang, have money to take, have food to eat, and often win battles. Tian Yongli said quietly.
"Oh? Do you think this foreigner is really powerful? We can't stop more than 100,000 people, this Lord Wang only has a few thousand people, how can he defeat the foreigners? Seeing that Tian Yongli was a soldier and had fought with foreigners, a group of people suddenly became interested.
"The foreigners are indeed very powerful, but that also depends on the time, as long as the command is appropriate, not to mention defeating the foreigners, it is no problem to hold them back. In the past, our battalion had held back a battalion of foreigners for three days, and in the end the foreigners were supported, and we were unfortunately defeated. Tian Yongli continued, while his eyes quietly observed the people nearby.
The people who came to join the army had the same expressions, so they began to ask one sentence after another, wanting to get more news from Tian Yongli.
Of course, there are also some seemingly harmless creatures hiding in the shadows, as if they are evasive. And these people, Tian Yongli also secretly wrote them down.
As time passed, the line was shortening little by little, and the people who were shooting in front of them were left behind if they met the requirements, and those who did not meet the requirements could only be persuaded to leave.
After all, they may not be fighting in the future, they may have to face a battle of life and death, Wang Sirui wants elite troops, not a ragtag army that has been put together temporarily.
In that case, what is the difference with the previous Qing army?
But this is the capital after all, and if you let some guys with other intentions mix in the troops, then when the time comes to war, the consequences will be very serious.
Of course, Wang Sirui didn't want to let those people be mixed in his troops.
Tian Yongli was the first group of people to follow Wang Sirui.
At the same time, it was also the group of people who were injured in the first battle, and as time went on, their injuries gradually improved.
For several people who could not continue to join the army after recovering from their injuries, Wang Sirui also gave them travel expenses and settling-in allowances to go home, which did not affect them in the future, and they could continue to return to the army.
And these people have actually been lurking in the capital for a long time, and they have taken over with Ma Sanru, and now, they have a team of nearly 100 people.
And this time, Wang Sirui gave them a task. Join the boot camp as a recruit and observe those in the boot camp who are feeling abnormal.
Of course, Wang Sirui also assured them that if they could completely eliminate the spies lurking in this army, and if they had enough ability, they would be promoted first.
Seeing that those comrades-in-arms who were not injured became officers one by one, and those of them who were recuperating from their injuries could only start from small soldiers, which also made Tian Yongli and others feel disappointed.
And Wang Sirui's promise just gave them a motivation to move forward, and even they have regarded this new barracks as their own troops.
The team soon found Tian Yongli's turn, and after reporting his life and past experiences, Tian Yongli was taken to a separate tent.
At first, there were suspicions, but soon it became clear that all those who had been in the military had been brought close to the tent.
According to the explanations of the people who came out, they mainly found out which unit they had served in before, and asked about some information, it's as simple as that.
In the tent, Ma Sanru sat on a chair, and there were two soldiers standing guard behind him, looking at Tian Yongli standing in front of him, Ma Sanru laughed.
Tian Yongli used to be a soldier under Ma Sanru, and now although Ma Sanru is still a battalion commander, everyone knows that the commander of the new regiment that is about to be formed is Ma Sanru.
In addition, the battalion under Ma Sanru will also be transferred to the new regiment, and the new regiment will also be transferred to the second regiment and a battalion, so as to balance the average strength of the three regiments.
As for the task of city defense, it is not the turn of the new regiment for the time being. Even if you don't count the new regiments, there are currently four regiments in the capital, with more than 8,000 troops.
There is also a regiment outside the city with more than 2,000 troops, controlling the capital, and 8,000 people are still enough.
Moreover, even if the coalition forces wanted to join forces in the north and attack the capital again, it would take at least a month, or more.
Because of the loss of the capital this time, the coalition forces did not just lose a city.
Along with them, they lost the wealth plundered by the coalition forces, as well as their supplies.
To put it simply, even if the coalition wanted to continue its southward advance, it was unlikely now. Because their rear base area was occupied by Wang Sirui, they no longer had enough materials to support them to continue fighting.
"We don't have more time to prepare, only a month at most, so you've been a little bit prickly lately, so let those people take the initiative to jump out to find you." Ma Sanru said directly.
Although the new corps has no combat mission in the short term, not even a defensive mission, Ma Sanru can't just drag it slowly.
Ma Sanru also wants the troops to be formed as soon as possible, in case of emergency.
And even if Wang Sirui's quick method is used to train troops, it will take about three months to really barely meet the requirements for going to the battlefield.
In terms of time, it is still relatively tight.
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I will definitely complete the task given to me." Tian Yongli confidently assured.
Ma Sanru nodded secretly: "Remember, don't forget about learning, I left you a position as a battalion commander, and I hope that after three months, you will be able to be qualified for this position." Don't let down the Brigadier's trust in you. ”
