Chapter Ninety-Six: The Remnants of the Defeated Army
On the school grounds, there were thousands of soldiers, or soldiers, in tattered armor, thin bodies, glazed eyes, and a hint of despair.
Since Li Xin wanted to see these soldiers, Luo Tao and the others hurriedly ordered people to gather these thousands of soldiers on the school ground, these soldiers didn't know what to do with gathering everyone on the school ground, but after nearly a year of torture and waiting, the spirit of these soldiers who lived for the rest of their lives after the war had already been almost destroyed.
"Huyalang will General Li Xin arrive."
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, a group of cavalry roared, and the entire school field was silent, without any change from the arrival of Li Xin and others. The gaze is glazed and indifferent.
Li Xin stopped his horse, looked at the soldiers in front of him, showed a trace of pity in his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "What do you see?" What I see is despair, what do you think? ”
Yang Ning and the others also sighed in their hearts, Luo Tao lowered his head even more, these people were all elite back then, and the soldiers who led Yang Guang to lead the army for the first time were all elite soldiers and horses, and these soldiers can't be called real elite soldiers at all now.
"General, can these soldiers still be used?" Du Ping took a deep breath and said disdainfully.
"Soldiers, just now there was a general who told General Sùben that you can no longer be used, you can no longer go to the battlefield, you can't become a real imperial soldier, General Sùben, are you still the elite of the year?" Li Xin rode a war horse and galloped on the school grounds.
"Back then, the elite of the empire crisscrossed the north and south of the country, and the barbarians fought without the power to fight back, how about it? Can you still take up your arms now? ”
"Or are you a bad breed who have been killed by the dogs of Goguryeo and have no confidence? Sue General Sùben, can I, Li Xin, still lead you and fight for the Great Sui Empire? Sue General Sùben. ”
"You don't answer, it's really a bad seed, don't you even have the strength to speak?"
"General, I don't accept it." A voice suddenly rang out. I saw a big man stride out, he was tall, his arms were very long, although he looked relatively thin, but a pair of eyes seemed to be like a hungry wolf, and he felt as if he was about to devour the other at any time.
"Courage." Li Xin's eyes were like lightning, he looked at the big man, and said, "What is your name, and what was your position last year?" ”
"The last general, Huang Ruhu, is just a brigade commander. It should not be praised by the general. Huang Ruhu said loudly: "General, we are not convinced." Is it our fault that we fought on the battlefield and were defeated in the end? We are just a soldier, how can a small brigade commander influence the situation on the battlefield, we were defeated, we fled desperately, originally thinking that the empire would take over, would reorganize us, and then lead us back. But no, the soldiers of the empire were abandoned in Huaiyuan Town, and we have no home to return, do you want us to be bandits? General, we are not convinced. ”
"Dissatisfied, General, we disagree." On the school ground, there were bursts of shouts, in fact, the soldiers who could stay were thinking that they could kill back one day.
"Okay, since you are not convinced, then General Ben will give you such a chance." Li Xin said loudly: "I will play the Son of Heaven, organize you into an army alone, and General Ben will personally lead you to rush across the Liao River and enter Liaodong Town to avenge the brothers who died in the battle." Li was secretly proud that these soldiers were about to become his most loyal subordinates.
"Some people say that you are no longer usable because you are a defeated army, and some people think that you should be sent back to your hometown and become a farmer again. But General Ben knows that you are a good soldier, the most loyal warrior of the Empire. Li Xin said loudly.
"General, you led us to kill, we are not afraid of death." In the middle of the army, a man broke down and cried bitterly, and said loudly: "Our brigade commander was killed by Goguryeo on the other side, and we must avenge them." ”
"Damn the Goguryeo people, they actually cut off our brother's head and made it into Gyokan, and we want to kill him. Kill the past. In the end, there was an angry cry on the entire school field, even the three thousand elite cavalry who followed Li Xin were the same, they hated the same enemy, because everyone had the same blood flowing in their bodies.
"General Ben wanted to kill him a long time ago, but now you can't, your armor is worn, your knives and guns are rusty, and your body determines that you still need to cultivate before you can pick up your knives and guns again, follow General Ben, and fight on the battlefield. In the coming time, General Ben will personally train you, build you into the most powerful warriors of the Great Sui, and crush the enemies who dare to attack my Great Sui. Do you have faith? The Fang Tian painting halberd in Li Xin's hand was raised and said loudly.
"Yes, yes." The shouts shook the sky, the entire Huaiyuan Town was shocked, Yang Ning, Du Ping's faces also changed slightly, and they all looked at Li Xin with frightened eyes, this young man instantly reorganized a desperate military heart, these remnants of the defeated soldiers were soaring, it can be imagined that after a recovery, this is definitely an elite, but unfortunately, this army will only obey Li Xin, the person who saved them from hell.
"Yan sù, Huang Ruhu, listen to orders." Li Xin was very satisfied, and shouted at Huang Ruhu and Yan Sù.
"The end will be." Huang Ruhu's eyes lit up, but Yan Sù looked excited, knowing that he would be important.
"Rectify the soldiers and horses, divide them into two parts, a group of ten people, and elect one person as the commander. The five groups are a team of 50 people, and a team of deputy and a team of leaders are elected. The two teams are a brigade of 100 people, and one person is elected as the brigade commander. The two brigades are two hundred people in a regiment, and one person is elected as a captain, and the two of you are temporarily the general of the eagle, and all the vice-generals and other generals are promoted to achieve a list, and after the general plays the Son of Heaven, he will be rewarded with official positions, but remember, you are only temporary, if in the later process, someone makes the general dissatisfied, he will be demoted to one level, if he is not satisfied, he will be demoted to one level, three times will not work, you will start from the small soldiers! Do you understand? Li Xin snorted coldly and looked at Yang Ning in the distance. Seeing the appearance of the other party who wanted to speak and stopped, he was even more disdainful in his heart, he had already preliminarily rectified the military power, how could he let these people snatch it from his hands.
"The last general will obey." Huang He and Yan sù were happy, what was he before, but he was just a brigade commander and lieutenant level, but he didn't expect to be promoted to a Lang general in an instant, although he was only Li trusted his life, but as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to become a real Lang general. The rest of the soldiers also have the intention to move, the general may not be able to do it, but the other captains, brigade commanders or something can.
Fortunately, this is a defeated army, and those lieutenants, generals and others in the army who have a back door have long fled or left the army, and the rest are some poor people, so they can only hide here and wait for death. Because of this, Li Xin's election system can continue, otherwise, he would have been killed by those people a long time ago.
"Xu Gongcao." Li Xin glanced at the many gongcao behind him, and said: "From today on, these are the soldiers of my Huaiyuan Town, they eat the same as the cavalry, and the armor and weapons must be re-equipped." The infantry was mainly spears, supplemented by bows and arrows and broadswords, and it was originally all selected by the cavalry, and the general was of great use. These can be deployed from the granary of Huaiyuan Town, and the general will give his majesty the emperor. ”
"The subordinate officer takes the order." Xu Jin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
