Chapter 118: A Thousand People Will Be with the Five Elements Battalion

With Zhao Xiaoxi returning to Chengdu Mansion and living in the cavalry barracks, the entire military camp has been immersed in a tense and warm atmosphere for the past three days.

If it weren't for the cavalry barracks, there would be no people living in a radius of more than ten kilometers. I'm afraid that many people will feel that what happened in the cavalry camp in the past three days.

In three days, through layers of assessment and selection, more than 1,000 cavalrymen in training were finally eliminated. Even if the final qualified cavalry could not reach 5,000 people, they were also excluded by Zhao Xiaoxi.

It's not that he is unsympathetic, but as a general, he is responsible for these cavalry seedlings under him. Whether it was the children of martial arts officials in the capital who were eliminated, or the elite soldiers who were added later, everyone was specially selected by Zhao Xiaoxi.

He couldn't send these people to the battlefield when they were still occasionally making mistakes. This is not only irresponsible for their lives, but also irresponsible for the entire cavalry. It is better to be ruthless at this time, than to think of the battlefield, to see these soldiers killed, and let him feel guilty and blame.

Looking at the nearly 5,000 cavalrymen who were selected, with an excited and nervous expression, Zhao Xiaoxi knew clearly. These officers and men who have been selected are not necessarily lucky. On the contrary, in this case, it is indeed a bit too anxious to push them into battle.

It's just that time waits for no one, and what to do with the formation of cavalry, Zhao Xiaoxi knows it. Only let these cavalry who already have cavalry skills, but are not familiar with the brutal killing on the battlefield, go to the battlefield.

These rookie cavalrymen will really understand the difference between training and actual combat. Even if the former makes a mistake, he will be hurt a little by a few words of scolding at most. If the latter make a mistake, they will lose their only life.

With Zhang Tingguang, the deputy commander of the cavalry in his hand, he selected five candidates for 1,000 generals. Zhao Xiaoxi stared down, those military attaches who participated in this assessment. Most of them. They are all Wuxun's children who came with him from the capital.

From this point, it can also be shown that the military attache from a martial arts family is in the arrangement of troops. It is indeed stronger than other ordinary soldiers, or the children of officials.

Looking at the expectant eyes of these people, Zhao Xiaoxi said calmly: "The three-day assessment has ended so far, although the number of qualified people has not reached five thousand. But that's what Ben is going to say. Don't be too happy to be chosen.

Because what you are about to face is a battlefield where you will fight for your life, and whether you can survive depends on whether you can make good use of the skills and tactics you have learned in the cavalry camp. In actual combat, the enemy's cavalry will not give you a second chance.

Don't be too disappointed if you're eliminated, after all, there are a lot of you. They all work very hard, and they will see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts. Maybe it's a good thing for you that you didn't get selected this time.

Because, that means. You will still have the opportunity to train hard here, until one day you can pass the assessment of the cavalry camp and officially become a real Great Song cavalryman.

I won't say anything else. Now let's announce the leaders of the five thousand-man generals. This is a decision made by Ben and Vice General Zhang, and it will also be played in the imperial court before the expedition.

He was selected to serve as the military attache of the Thousand People, and he was given the title of guerrilla general from the fourth rank. But please note that the five of you will be able to fold the title of your guerrilla general to the imperial court.

If you make a mistake in wartime. Even if he picked up a life, the general would have expelled you from the cavalry battalion. One will be incompetent. The kind of general who kills the three armies, the kind of general who can only say good words, but can't put it on the table in actual combat, is not needed in the cavalry barracks.

Therefore, military attachés who are not selected should not be discouraged, as long as those who have excelled in wartime. Ben will definitely ask the court for credit for you according to the truth. As long as you have the ability and ability, a guerrilla general is only the beginning of your military career. ”

After such a beating, these dozen or so military attachés participated in the final assessment. It was even more nervous that among them, the five people were chosen. However, they expect that the audience will soon become their subordinates. We are also looking forward to the results.

As Zhao Xiaoxi took out five written general orders, he began to say: "Gao Mingjun! The guerrilla general of the golden battalion! ”

Gao Mingjun, who was the first to be called, also looked stunned, but quickly stepped forward and said: "Thank you for the general's trust, the last general will definitely lead the Jinzi battalion and go all out to kill the enemy!" ”

Gao Mingjun, who had retired with the general's order, quickly stood in front of the thousand-man team where the Jinzi camp was located, and those cavalry quickly shouted: "See General Gao!" ”

For Gao Mingjun, who was born in a high-ranking family, how many years has this title been waiting, and now it has finally arrived. However, he knew in his heart that this title was a heavy responsibility.

If you can carry it well, this general will be as stable as Mount Tai and can't run away. can't bear it, I'm afraid that he will really be expelled from the cavalry camp at that time, then he really doesn't have the face to go back and meet the parents and elders of those families.

was given the title of a guerrilla general by Gao Mingjun, and there were only four left. And the second one named by Zhao Xiaoxi was Zhi Zhigang, who was born in the Song Dynasty's Zhejia army.

Zhi Zhi had just been appointed as a guerrilla general in the Tuzi Battalion, and half of the Tuzi Battalion was the subordinate he had brought with him before participating in the assessment. What's more, there are still 500 people in the Tuzi battalion who are usually trained, which is a little different from other cavalry.

Most of them are the same as Zhigang. Powerful cavalry. And they will also be used as heavy cavalry to attack the enemy cavalry camp when needed. The appointment of him, a military attache of a powerful type, as a guerrilla general of the Tuzi battalion, can also be said to be expected by all.

Seeing that another guerrilla general has been separated, the remaining military attaches who participated in the assessment are becoming more and more nervous. Until the position of the commander of the first wooden battalion fell to Cao Wenhu, a son of the Cao family of the martial arts family.

Cao Meng, a cousin from the same family who was standing next to him, also felt that he was pressed by this cousin again. Looking at it like this, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to get the military position of this guerrilla general this time.

The remaining guerrilla general candidate with the character of the water character battalion was obtained by Wu Dingyuan, a military attache who was not from a martial arts family. This military attache was selected from other armies after the formation of the cavalry army.

After entering the cavalry barracks, he was able to rank among the best in every assessment, and it can be said that he was convinced by many ordinary people from cavalry. Even the children of many martial arts officials in the cavalry army were very convinced by this military attache who usually didn't talk much.

There was only one guerrilla general left in the Fire Word Battalion, and it became an opportunity that the remaining nearly ten people were looking forward to. It was known that the Fire Word Battalion would act with the Guards Battalion. This also means that in terms of independent command operations, it is less than the other four battalions.

Just thinking of being able to stay with this commander, most of these military attachés who only have experience in fighting on paper also feel safer. And the candidate for this guerrilla general was obtained by Yang Jinbao from the Yang Gate.

Of the five guerrilla generals, four were obtained by the sons of the martial arts family, and the remaining one was obtained by people from common people. This also shows that in commanding operations, military attachés from martial arts families have more theoretical experience.

But as the only one, Wu Dingyuan, who represents the ordinary people, has the ability to fight the children of several other martial arts families. Seizing the command of one of the battalions also proves that Cho Hyo-seok really only looks at his ability and not his background.

Just when these military attachés participating in the competition felt a little disappointed, they were also promoted to the position of deputy general by Zhao Xiaoxi. Assigned to five battalions as deputies. According to the rules in the cavalry camp, if the main general is on the battlefield, the deputy general takes over the command.

Therefore, this position of deputy general also means that they are only one step away from the guerrilla generals from the fourth grade. Whether or not they can cooperate with the main general on the battlefield of this expedition will also become the qualification of whether they can be promoted to a full general.

Everyone knows that these five cavalry thousand-man teams are only the strength of the cavalry army in the early stage of expansion. When the war is over, the cavalry selected from all over the country will be replenished one after another.

This means that when the team of 1,000 people is expanded. The best of these deputies will be in charge of a battalion of cavalry. For this reason, the loser who got this position still seems very happy.

In fact, these military attachés really think well, Zhao Xiaoxi has established many deputy positions in the cavalry army. The purpose is so that when the commander is in danger on the battlefield, the deputy general can take over the command and continue to fight.

This can also ensure that there will not be a matter where the main general dies and the rest of the officers and soldiers do not know who should obey the command. Only by knowing the generals and being well-known can they be twisted into a rope on the battlefield and not be crushed and dragged down by the enemy.

And from the collocation of these deputy positions, Zhao Xiaoxi has also undergone some careful scrutiny. As much as possible, let these five generals, who are also slightly immature, be able to cooperate with the deputy generals to study and judge the enemy's situation and make the wisest war decisions.

One more lieutenant general will help pick up the missing and fill the gaps, and there will not be a situation where the main general is too impulsive, resulting in heavy casualties for the whole team. This is also what Zhao Xiaoxi called to give these rookie cavalry generals a double insurance.

The commanders of the five cavalry battalions were arranged, and the unsuccessful contenders were given consolation positions as adjutant generals. Overall, everyone is very convinced by this appointment. There is no such thing as nepotism before.

As for the military attachés below the guerrilla general level in each cavalry battalion, they were also selected and evaluated in this way. The cavalrymen who were not selected were also convinced, after all, they lost in a fair game.

If they want to compete for this position in the future, it means that they need to strengthen their cavalry skills and tactics training in the future. As long as they can surpass each other, they also have the opportunity to surpass these bosses.

To make five candidates for the chief and deputy generals of the cavalry battalion of less than 1,000 people, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly told these newly appointed chief and deputy generals. Next, give them five days to familiarize themselves with the drills of 1,000 cavalry and 100 squads.

We should strive to truly twist these combined units into a single rope before the start of the allocation. And in the next drill, Zhang Tingguang, the deputy commander, will lead the guard battalion to fight with each team in a cavalry battle. According to the characteristics of the nomadic cavalry, let the rookies get familiar with the matters that should be paid attention to in cavalry combat as soon as possible! (To be continued......)
