Chapter 445: Calling the Shots
In Long Qifeng's heart, he had already decided that Meng Huan Chilong was a member of the Long family and wanted to keep him safe. As soon as Teng Xinzun mentioned it just now, he just took advantage of the situation. He personally had already decided that Meng Huan Chilong was a military genius, and it was no problem to command on the city wall, not to mention that as long as he commanded in the city tower, it was much safer than charging head-on. It's just that I didn't want to put this burden on the teenager, can the teenager bear it?
Meng Winding Red Dragon was a little panicked in his heart, he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came. Long Qishui's eyes made him know that as long as he agreed, he would definitely offend Long Qishui and bury hidden dangers for himself. And listening to that meaning, he still has the command of the battle, but he does not have the command of the entire city guard, that is, it is a military position with no real power, so how can he command?
He was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Since Lord Castle Guard insists on the decision, I can obey, but I have one condition. As you know, I am a boy from the mountains and forests, but I am lucky enough to be loved by the castle guard, so I am qualified to speak here. I just won the battle by luck, and it wasn't that I had great ability, so I needed someone to help me. ”
Long Qifeng blinked his eyes and said, "Who do you want to help you?"
Meng Huan Chilong glanced at Long Qishui and Teng Xinzun, and said: "Long joins the army and Teng joins the army, they have rich experience in the army, I can't compare with them." Therefore, in the battle on the city wall, I am responsible for planning and suggesting, leading the people's army to defend the city tower, suggesting that the dragon army lead people to guard the city wall on the left, and Teng to join the army to guard the city wall on the right, and contact each other by the sound of drums, if a certain section of the city wall changes, the two of you will command it separately, remedy it in time, and ensure that the city wall is not broken, I don't know this method, can you agree?"
When he said this, there was no way, what Long Qifeng meant, he only asked him to command, and did not give military authority. Then he still can't command the city guards, so he can only let these two people command by themselves. Although this method is different from the original idea, there is also an additional procedure, in his mind, this should be no way, at least there is a contrast between the two of them joining the army, maybe it is easier for him.
If you really command, I'm afraid that the dragon will join the army and make a stumbling block for you, then you can not defend this city. What is needed now is to work together and unanimously to the outside world, so that it is possible to defend the city, not to mention that it is not his forte.
No one said anything about the other military positions, and they probably figured out the current situation, and they all bowed their heads and thought carefully about whether such an arrangement was reasonable.
Teng Xintu spoke first and said coldly: "Even if the city guard insists on only letting the leader command, the leader said that this method is the best, we did this just now, each person is responsible for a section, and if there is a problem, there will be military law to deal with it." "He is helping Teng Xinzun speak, because if he does this, it means that Teng Xinzun still has military power, and he can fight against Long Qishui Court.
Long Qishui also seemed to have figured it out, and immediately looked at Meng Huan Chilong, with more resentment in his eyes. His original selfishness was that he finally joined the army, so he wanted to show his ability, but Brother gave power to others, which made him a little angry. And now that there is another Teng Xinzun, and he is going to take away half of his power, what does it mean for him to join the army?
However, the ability of the red dragon just now made him still attach great importance to this young man, and he felt that he was not as good as this young man. In his original idea, he commanded the battle by himself, and Meng Winding Red Dragon was beside him to help him get ideas, so it was equivalent to him commanding, so if he had combat merits, it was his own. In his mind, this should be a trivial matter, and Meng Huan Chilong is going to become a guest of his family, and it is normal to help him do something.
didn't expect Brother to make such a suggestion, Meng Huan Chilong completely deviated from this matter, and Teng Xintu agreed.
This made him suddenly understand that the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and when he sees it, he must act immediately, not take a few detours and then take action, just like he did against Mohandas just now, he must fight quickly and continuously, and cannot give the opponent a chance to breathe. It seems that this army is indeed different from officialdom, which pays attention to the kung fu of water grinding, and the battlefield is to make decisions on the spot, and to take action when it is time to act.
Thinking about this, his resentment towards Brother Ah and the red dragon disappeared, because he felt that he was indeed inferior to this young man, at least this young man did this, that is, to give him back the face of joining the army, and then he would have to earn his own face by himself.
Therefore, he took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "Lord City Guard, Lord Chief, Qishui is willing to obey the order and fight to the end with the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty." ”
Long Qishui's performance made Meng Huan Chilong a little stunned, he didn't expect Long Qishui to figure it out so quickly and make his own decision. This made him admire the people of these families a little, at least they can afford it and put it down. It's just that he didn't show it very exaggeratedly, he just nodded slightly at Long Qishui.
Then he looked at the other military positions. "What else do you think? Please say it, if you go to the battlefield, you must go all out, obey orders, if you have other ideas, I will deal with the military law. ”
Seeing this, Teng Xinzun also stood up and said, "Lord Chief, I have no opinion, I will definitely carry out every order of my lord." ”
It was originally his suggestion to let Meng Huan Chilong command, and now the young man let the three of them command together, which is equivalent to helping him. And he really admired this young man so much, not just because the young man saved him several times. It was the battle just now, although both sides were a little hasty, but he knew that with his own ability, he couldn't hold it at all, because his command was not so organized.
Those military positions didn't speak before, but now they all agreed to this decision when they saw that the two soldiers before and after agreed with this decision and supported Meng Huan Chilong, so they all agreed to this decision in unison. It's just a bit chaotic when shouting, some shouting the leader, and some shouting the leader, but fortunately, everyone knows who is shouting.
Long Qifeng was a little reckless when he made this decision, he only thought about the red dragon in his heart, and didn't consider Long Qishui's thoughts, and when the words came out, he also saw Long Qishui's expression, which made him stunned for a moment, suspecting that his decision might be bad.
Unexpectedly, Meng Huan Chilong came to this move, and he didn't want the military power of the city guards, and then Long Qishui's expression made him feel relaxed, at least this matter didn't make a big fuss. This made him look at his brother a few more times, and when they looked at each other, he showed an apologetic expression, feeling that he had time to talk to his brother.
In fact, he is bitter in his heart, although he has his own selfishness in doing this, but there is more of a way. In the battle just now, he saw that Long Qishui had no overall view and could not command the battle, and wanted to return the military power to the Teng family, but he was unwilling, just Teng Xinzun proposed to let Meng Huan Chilong command, but he wanted to protect Meng Huan Chilong, so he naturally pushed the boat along the river.
This is not only to protect Meng Huan Chilong, so that Meng Huan Chilong can become his guest smoothly, but more importantly, to defend Yitian City, now it seems that Meng Huan Chilong is the only candidate, which also makes him value this young man even more.
Long Qifeng glanced at the people around him, and said slowly: "This method is good, just do it, and the soldiers on the city wall will come in the order they say." As long as you go up to the city wall, no matter what kind of person you are, you have to obey the command of the red dragon, and if you don't obey, even if the leader doesn't do it by military law, I will punish you severely. ”
In his mind, Meng Huan Chilong would be his own person sooner or later, so he wanted to support Meng Huan Chilong.
When Meng Huan Chilong heard this, he was very decisive. "Then it's settled, and we'll arrange the rest of the matter. ”
Teng Xinzun saluted, as if he was about to speak, but he was quickly stunned, it didn't matter if he shouted just now, but now that he has settled, he can't shout nonsense. It's just that the official military position of Meng Huan Chilong is a leader, and the civilian military position is the leader, but that can't control the city guards! So he looked left and right, hoping that someone would give an explanation, but those military positions were more dazed than him. Because the military rank present is the smallest, and it is only a leader.
Meng Huan Chilong also saw this embarrassing situation, but he didn't care, and said to all the military positions: "I am the youngest here, and my position is also the youngest, I am just a temporary commander during the battle, and it is the city guard who looks up to me and asks me to defend Yitian City with you, so you just call me by my name, we mountain people, do not pay attention to hypocrisy." ”
Long Qifeng also smiled bitterly, now this situation, I'm afraid that it has not happened in the Wu Clan Country, it was all made by him, so I think I should say something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the days to come, you can call Menghuan Red Dragon the Commander. ”
Meng Huan Chilong frowned, as if he hadn't heard it, and then looked at Teng Xintu and Teng Xinzun, who each held half of the city wall just now. Now covered in blood and covered with wounds, he still stands firmly in the middle of the military rank.
"Teng joins the army, what did you want to say just now?"
Teng Xinzun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better for adults to say it first, I'll talk about it later." ”
Meng Huan Chilong nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll say it first, you guys add." In the battle just now, our soldiers have done their best to protect Yitian City, so my first order, the wounded soldiers, try to treat the wounded, to ensure our combat effectiveness, the spirit witches must do their best to help, and the military position, also to heal the wounded. We still have a fierce battle ahead. ”
Teng Xintu immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am just injured, I have taken the pill, and I am fine." You have instructions, just arrange for me to do it. ”
He has a good relationship with Teng Xinzun, but when he saw how Meng Huan Chilong saved Teng Xinzun, he would rather be injured himself than Teng Xinzun be injured again, and he was not only grateful to the young man, but also admired, so showing his attitude was also a kind of support for Meng Huan Chilong.
Hearing Teng Xintu say this, Meng Huan Chilong looked at the other military positions again, and found that all the military positions were looking at him, as if they were waiting for him to give orders.
He felt that now was not the time to be polite, so he said: "The Lord of the City Guard and the Lord of the Army are here, I will make temporary arrangements for them, and I will first say a few things that I think are important." The first is to collect the wounded for treatment, count the casualties and report them to the city guard, and replenish the manpower in a timely manner. The second is to clean up the battlefield, recycle arrows and crossbow spears, prepare them for next use, and then burn the corpses. The third is to arrange for the soldiers to rest. I have a feeling that the people of the upright dynasty will not rest on their laurels, and may attack again. ”
