Chapter 10: Selecting Soldiers and Generals (Asking for Recommendations)
After the tens of thousands of troops calmed down, Ma Chao said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Xiliang is sparsely populated, the land is barren, the people are suffering, and the people are struggling to make a living, do you know what has caused all this?" Good! Today I will tell you, it is war! Over the years, the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north, and the Qiang and Di in the south have invaded our Han almost every year. Silver captivity is all evil, today's border land is full of bones, the village is ten rooms and nine empty, many evil deeds can be described as innumerable, as the people of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty officials and soldiers, can we bear to watch our compatriots suffer? ”
"Can't!"
"Swear to kill the Huns!"
"Swear to kill Xianbei!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and the momentum was earth-shattering, and even many people had red eyes, waved the weapons in their hands, and were extremely emotional. These words were enough to provoke the hatred of the Han people for the Xiongnu and other foreign races, and many of the tens of thousands of troops had witnessed the brutality of the Xiongnu, and even some relatives died under the Xiongnu iron cavalry.
Ma Chao waved his hand and continued to roar: "My Han is a state of etiquette, and I have always been convinced by virtue, but the Huns, Xianbei and other inferior tribes have repeatedly provoked our Han Tianwei, killed our people, robbed us of food, and annihilated. Our women are evil, and our children are no different from beasts. Therefore we will return blood for blood, tooth for tooth, vow to kill all their men, women, old and children, rob them of their grain and livestock, burn their wagons and tents, so that they will never turn over. ”
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"
"Swear to kill the Huns!"
At this moment, the emotions of the soldiers have been completely stirred, and the morale is almost bursting, and even Pang De and Ma Teng on the side feel their blood boiling, and their hearts are full of pride, and they can't help but secretly admire Ma Chao's methods of boosting morale.
After the soldiers roared for a while, Ma Chao said loudly: "Ma Mengqi is not talented, and he is willing to lead an elite army with General Pang to fight against the Xiongnu and Xianbei on the northern grassland, but we also have to prevent the invasion of the Qiang, Di and other Hulu in the south, so it is impossible for the whole army to go out this time." This general was ordered to form an elite army, called the 'Shenwei Battalion', and follow me and General Pang to conquer the northern Hulu, you are willing to fight with me! Serve the Han and become famous all over the world! ”
"I am willing to go to war with the general and swear to kill the Huns! Step through Xianbei! ”
"Swear to kill the Huns!" "Step through Xianbei!"
Looking at the high-spirited Xiliang elite soldiers, Ma Chao was even more confident in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Very good, you are all good people of my big man, good men of Xiliang, I am proud of you!" Now the general is about to start selecting and forming a Shenwei battalion, hoping that the qualified soldiers can fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the court; Those who are not selected should not be discouraged, it is not the fault of the others, it is really limited by the number of people, and it is also a glorious mission to defend the territory and protect the territory. ”
"I am willing to go to war with the general!"
"Open up the territory and expand the territory, protect the family and defend the country!"
Seeing that the morale was almost inspired, Ma Chao was slightly excited, and shouted: "All the troops listen to the order, and those who have no family should come out!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and more than 50,000 of the 70,000 troops were singles, but almost all of them were young and strong. Brother Xiao Ma wants to rely on this elite army to fight the world for the team, so naturally he will not look for someone who drags his family with him, because people who have not married have no scruples and can charge into battle like a life, and it is also easier to gain their loyalty and support.
"Those under the age of twenty-five are listed!"
More than half of the nearly 60,000 troops were immediately listed, and about 30,000 were under the age of 25. These people can be said to be the absolute elite of Ma Teng's army, they are all soldiers who have survived the battlefield battles, and have experienced the test of blood and fire.
"Those who can ride a horse or shoot a two-stone bow will be able to enter the ranks if one of the two is satisfied! The rider stands on the right, the shooter stands on the left, and both stand in the middle! ”
There was an uproar below, and more than 30,000 sergeants immediately made a fuss, and after about a cup of tea, about 5,000 people stood on the right, more than 3,000 on the left, and about 2,000 people in the middle.
Ma Chao roughly estimated, knowing that there were still more than 10,000 people who met the conditions, he couldn't help but sigh at the elite of Xiliang's male soldiers, thought about it and shouted: "The eldest husband should fight on the battlefield, and bury the body with horse leather!" You and the others are all hot-blooded men who are not afraid of death in my Xiliang, and they are born to be Jinluan, and they are also wearing iron armor when they die, I am very pleased! However, this expedition is to fight the strong with the weak, and it is really a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, and if those who are concerned can go out immediately, they will never be guilty. ”
As the words fell, after another tea time, only less than 500 people retreated, and nearly 10,000 people stayed firmly.
"Okay, very good, worthy of my Xiliang male soldiers, but the generals under the command of the incompetent soldiers, let alone undisciplined soldiers, as long as you obey the order and bravely kill the enemy's soldiers. Now put on your armor, take your weapons, march forty miles with the general, and those who are willing to be a bad seed can stay, those who want to fight for glory and wealth, and those who want to make meritorious deeds and seal their wives and children come with me! Ben Jiang officially announced today: How much ability you have, how much can Ben give you a big stage to show your talents. "Let's take the lead in picking up the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd, strode down the platform, and ran towards the walled gate.
Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were already eager to try, and without saying a word, they picked up their weapons and followed. On the stage, Pang De and Ma Teng glanced at each other, and the two couldn't figure out what Ma Chao wanted to do. The remaining 10,000 sergeants are even more so, not knowing whether to follow or not. At this time, a burly man, with a stubble on his face, and eyes like copper bells, roared: "I will never be a bad seed, Xiliang people have no bad seeds!" With that, he picked up his knife and ran away.
Pang De pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, the young master's move must have a deep meaning, and he will come when he goes!" To say that in the past, Pang De only admired Ma Chao's martial arts, but now after seeing his free bearing in front of tens of thousands of troops, his heart is even more impressed. I really couldn't think of how a twelve-year-old boy could have such a mind, and a sense of trust inexplicably rose in his heart, and he immediately picked up a knife and followed.
As the saying goes: If you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, who wants to be a bad seed for the sergeants below? Someone took the lead, and even though they ran out of the gate of the village like a swarm of bees, the 10,000 army followed Ma Chao and began to gallop around the village.
The purpose of Brother Xiao Ma is very simple, that is, to eliminate the indiscriminate and undetermined people among the 10,000 people. It was not an easy task to travel forty miles fully armed, the weight of ancient armor and weapons was far greater than the weight of modern guns, and only those with tenacity and strong wills could hold out.
Brother Xiao Ma took the lead, holding the Tianlong Broken City Halberd in one hand, turned around and said: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, if you want to gain a foothold in the army, you must give up the identity of the son of the Ma family, only with real skills can all the sergeants admire you from the bottom of their hearts, and they are willing to listen to your orders, these forty miles are not easy, don't let Brother Wei down!" ”
The three of them were full of firmness when they heard this, and Ma Dai said: "Big brother, don't worry, although we are young, we will never embarrass the Ma family and the eldest brother." ”
Ma Xiu shouted: "There are only people in the Ma family who die standing up, there are no ghosts who die on their stomachs, and they would rather die than give up!" ”
Ma Tie carried the Xuanhua double-edged axe, and said in a humble voice: "Although the eldest brother runs, the younger brother will never lag behind!" ”
"Good brother!" Ma Chao was arrogant in his heart, his expression was angry, and he said: "There is a Liu Xuande in the Central Plains, who claims to be a member of the Han family, although his martial arts are mediocre, but he has two righteous brothers who are extremely good, one is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang in Hedong, and the other is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide of Yanren. We have four brothers, flesh and blood are connected, like brothers and sisters, now it is known as the "Ma Four Heroes", and if there is a chance in the future, we must meet these three heroes, "four heroes" to "three heroes", we must not weaken the name, otherwise it is not a hero, but a bear. ”
The three of them were extremely excited when they heard this, and Ma Tie shouted: "Big brother, is that Sanying very powerful?" How does it compare to Big Brother? ”
Ma Chao ran wildly, and said: "The three of them were born in the recklessness, and they have already emerged in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, with my current martial arts, it is already a great luck to be able to save the surname of Shangguan Yu or Zhang Fei, as for Liu Xuande, it is a hero, it is not martial arts, but all kinds of means, aside from martial arts, I don't dare to say that I can win against him!" ”
"Shhh The three of them gasped in unison when they heard this, although they were young, they were quite mature under the deliberate cultivation of Brother Xiao Ma over the years, and they were by no means young and ignorant arrogant. Of course, they know Ma Chao's martial arts best, but they can only barely save their lives when they face those two people, how powerful will it be?
Ma Chao observed his words and looks, and saw that the three of them were discouraged, and couldn't help but comfort: "We don't have to be arrogant, those three people are in the prime of life, and their martial arts have already been completed." We are still young, and our body and strength have not yet grown up, and we have infinite potential, and as long as we work harder, we may not be able to compete with them in the future. ”
"Follow the teachings of the eldest brother!" The three of them said with shameful faces.
Ma Chao said: "My ambition is only to overwhelm these three brothers, glory and wealth, princely hegemony, and fame through the ages is my ultimate goal, and the three brothers should help me!" Achieve the prestige of the 'Four Heroes of the Ma Family'. ”
"That's right, we are the only big brother who is looking ahead!" The three of them only heard the blood boiling, and their voices were extremely firm, and they didn't notice the surprised and envious expressions on the faces of Pang De and the other burly man who followed closely behind.
Forty miles of rapid march, although Ma Chao has reduced his speed, but it is not easy to take down, only two laps around the camp (one circle is about ten miles) before the sparse people began to fall behind, the team was also stretched, the front and rear feet of a thousand meters. After the third lap, almost from end to end, one after another soldiers began to give up, sitting on the ground and gasping.
Ma Chao also showed a slight sweat on his forehead, and when he looked back, although Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie were drenched and panting, they were still brisk, just like a living dragon. Pound and the black-faced man in the back also followed closely, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and beyond that there was a long procession, which could not be seen at a glance, and it seemed that there were six or seven thousand people.
Ma Chao was overjoyed when he saw this, slowed down and shouted loudly: "The general will order, in addition to the general and General Pang, the first to fifth can be a thousand-necker, and the fifth to fifty-fifth can be a centurion, in addition, the first fifty-five will be rewarded with five baht and one thousand, and those who insist on completing the process can enter the final step of screening, and those who give up will be eliminated immediately!" ”
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
The news spread quickly, and nearly 10,000 sergeants were completely boiling, who doesn't want to get ahead as a soldier? Brother Xiaoma's words were undoubtedly equivalent to a dose of stimulant, and the sergeants who got the news were enthusiastic and ran wildly, a few points faster than at the beginning. At the same time, some people who have no hope of achieving the top 55 will inevitably have the idea of giving up, so that the distance between the poles is getting wider and wider, and more and more people give up completely and sit on the ground.
