Chapter 654, a strong special class
Since Yuan Shu has an order, Ji Ling naturally obeys it.
Therefore, when the troops were transferred to battle the next day, a peculiar army appeared in the sequence of marches, causing some generals to whisper.
This army is not many in number, but it is only a few thousand, but all of them are big and round, like giants. Dressed in fine armor and armed with sharp blades, it is breathtaking and unforgettable. is the first person, and he is even longer, a long knife is full of cold and clear light, although there is no war horse in the crotch, the momentum is far beyond others.
"Isn't this His Majesty's personal guard? Why are you going to go to war too? A general asked in a puzzled whisper.
"Tsk, who knows? Maybe people feel that they can't show their strength by protecting His Majesty in the back every day, so they want to make a name for themselves. Someone said.
"Hmph, I'm blind to the majestic name of the Tiger Guard. Since that person was recruited by His Majesty, countless amounts of money, food, and materials have been invested in this army, and even we have been strictly ordered to let him choose soldiers. Such a good talent should show his scenery on the battlefield, not be tortured by him every day like a dog. Someone else complained.
"This so-called Tiger Guard, relying on His Majesty's favor, trains every day, saying that it is His Majesty's personal guard, but it does not play a role, it is completely dereliction of duty. I don't know what His Majesty thinks. ”
"Your Majesty's mind does not allow us to speculate, but since this Tiger Guard is out of the war, we must let that person see what the real battlefield is. Here you need to cooperate, you need to fight with your life, and you can't kill the enemy by relying on Your Majesty's favor. I hope that they will not be frightened into fear of the enemy, or will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. In this way, it will be too embarrassing for His Majesty. ”
……
Countless whispers rang out, and the sound was not small, and some people even deliberately raised their voices just to make them hear.
This embarrassed Xu Chu, as a military general who had reached the peak of the 7th order, he naturally understood what these people were thinking. In his heart, he can only smile bitterly, but on the surface he makes an indifferent appearance and never communicates with others.
Yes, the Tiger Guard Army is the army formed by Xu Chu, and it can be regarded as a pro-guard army under Yuan Shu, and it is also the only special army under Yuan Shu so far. Otherwise, how could a newcomer like Xu Chu become Yuan Shu's personal guard.
In fact, Xu Chu was very helpless, he did not live very well under Yuan Shu, and the reason for this was not enough for outsiders.
Originally, he had been living in Xujiazhuang peacefully, practicing martial arts every day, organizing the same clan to contact the military formation, and defending his hometown. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Pei Guo has been under the command of Yuan Shu, and there has been no major war, but it has been stable. Even if some strangers found Xujiazhuang, they still had the selfish intention of recovering Xu Chu one day, and they did not publicize it, but only circulated in a small circle. But even if they deliberately had a relationship with Xu Chu, Xu Chu has always remained sober.
Having dealt with Liu Feng many years ago, Xu Chu has always been wary of strangers and has always kept his distance. Although he looks like a stupid big man, he is actually a calm-minded person, otherwise how could he rise all the way under Cao Cao in history, and finally be crowned Hou Yinzi.
Unlike in history, Yuan Shu has always maintained control over Peiguo, especially after the fall of Runan, Chen, and Liang, Peiguo has become the most complete county preserved in Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu cannot afford not to pay attention to it.
So Xu Chu never met Cao Cao, and he stayed in Xujiazhuang all the time.
But after a long time, Xu Chu's reputation spread, and finally reached Yuan Shu's ears.
Hearing that there was such a strong man under his command, Yuan Shu issued an edict and summoned Xu Chu to Pengcheng.
This is also the reason why Xu Chu appeared under Yuan Shu.
Of course, this is not Xu Chu's wishes, otherwise he would not have been silent for so long, and he would stay in Xujiazhuang with peace of mind. But if you don't go, you can't, because Xujiazhuang is under Yuan Shu's rule. The Xu family is not a famous family, and they can't afford to provoke Yuan Shu, so Xu Chu can only apply.
In order to show his value and not be regarded as a martial artist who can only brute force, Xu Chu promised to train special troops, so he got Yuan Shu's consent, allocated money, food, weapons and armor, and ordered Xu Chu to establish special troops.
It lasted more than half a year, with the support of the same clan in Xujiazhuang, a group of soldiers were selected from the various armies under Yuan Shu, and the special troops were finally formed, and they were awarded the title of "Son of Heaven's personal soldiers" to protect Yuan Shu.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Chu was reused by Yuan Shu, but in fact, Xu Chu knew that Yuan Shu had never trusted him from beginning to end. Or because Yuan Shu had heard of it, he had dealt with Jiangdong Liu Feng.
So Xu Chu has always felt embarrassed, but he can't say it to others, so he can only remain indifferent.
But this expedition is an opportunity, an opportunity for the Tiger Guards to show their strength and wash away their shame.
As for the friendship with Liu Feng, it can only be said that each is his master. This is the duty of a soldier, even if he does not approve of Yuan Shu from the bottom of his heart.
……
"The Tiger Guard Army is the Son of Heaven's own army, and he sealed the order of the Son of Heaven to go into battle to kill the enemy in order to boost the army's prestige. You and other generals are all armies of a hundred battles, and you must not be compared to a group of newcomers. Let's go! Before setting out on the expedition, Ji Ling also used the Tiger Guards to boost morale. It's just that in exchange, it's all disdain.
Although the Tiger Guards are a special class, they have never been made public, and even under Yuan Shu's command, only a few people know about it. Therefore, the Tiger Guard Army has never been famous, and it is the first time to go to the battlefield, so the generals under Yuan Shu can't look down on Xu Chu, who seems to be thousands of people.
Xu Chu is also disdainful, although the Tiger Guard Army is the first time to go out, but he Xu Chu is not the first time to go to the battlefield, and he was also the master of the frontal battle with the Yellow Turban Army. Most of the members of the Tiger Guard are soldiers who have been on the battlefield before, and they are not lacking in experience, although it is the first time to form a formation on the battlefield, he is confident that he can control the overall situation.
The drums rumbled, and after many months, another fight began. Under the command of the commanders of both sides, one team after another was constantly pushed to the front line, forming a fighting zone within a range of tens of miles. What was once a battlefield of only tens of thousands of people has now expanded to hundreds of thousands.
Outflanking left and right, cavalry assault, inconspicuous strategy, and constant skills.
More than an hour later, when the two sides formed a stalemate again, Xu Chu finally received the order to attack - to defeat the Jiangdong Army from the center.
After receiving the order, Xu Chu did not have any extra words, and directly led the army to the established battlefield. Because he knew that with his current status, he was not qualified to bargain with those big people at all. If it weren't for the only special class trainer under Yuan Shu's command, it is estimated that Yuan Shu would not have remembered him.
Arriving at the destination, Xu Chu immediately took over a piece of defense and replaced the original army. Wait until you are familiar with the situation and start fighting back.
The Tiger Guard Army is worthy of being a special type of troops, although it is not an elite soldier in a hundred battles, but it is definitely worthy of the word "special", a group of biao-shaped men burst into the battlefield, and instantly defeated the Jiangdong Army, which was already a tired division, and forcibly opened a gap.
Ji Ling had been paying close attention to the movements of the Tiger Guards, and when he saw this, he did not hesitate, and ordered the flag to wave, and a large number of Yuan troops swarmed in, intending to break through the interception of the Jiangdong Army from here.
The Tiger Guards were really fierce, and in just a quarter of an hour, they almost routed the Jiangdong Army here. Even three sixth-order generals came in a row, but they couldn't stop the edge of the Tiger Guards, two were seriously injured and retreated, and one was killed by Xu Chu with one blow.
The incident happened suddenly, and Jiang Dongjun did not expect it, and Bai Jian in the rear was separated by more than ten miles, and he had no time to react for the time being. Seeing that he was about to be broken through by Yuan Shujun, suddenly a voice sounded.
"Rebellious army, Hugh is presumptuous."
