Chapter 632: Exercise Process
The so-called military training is based on the corresponding slogans or orders given above, and the general who leads the team leads a group of soldiers to make corresponding moves on the battlefield, advancing or retreating. On the battlefield, generals must correctly carry out the orders of the commander-in-chief, otherwise they will miss the opportunity to fight at least and cause irreparable losses to the army.
After realizing the importance of this training, Lin Xuanzhong blamed himself for not usually guiding the soldiers' training, not being able to see more of the scenes of the soldiers' drills on weekdays, and often mingling with Fang Qing and them, otherwise he wouldn't be so flustered now. In a moment of tension, the quarter of an hour given above passed quickly.
Not long after, after three drums, the personnel stopped. Under Zhang Daring's signal, the 160,000-strong army was officially divided into areas and neatly arranged according to five parts.
There was no opportunity to rehearse, and under Zhang Daring's order, the soldiers below had already specially brought a few horses to Lin Xuanzhong and several other generals. In order to make this exercise more realistic, Lin Xuanzhong and the others naturally had to lead the team on horseback. At the same time, in the middle of the army, a temporary general command platform has been erected, on which several heralds stand in turn, each holding a command flag in his hand, which is equivalent to the location of the commander on the battlefield.
Next, all the orders to transfer troops and generals will be issued by them, and Lin Xuanzhong only needs to move around the battlefield with the army behind him according to the corresponding instructions. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. It's just a regular rehearsal, and it's only going to be even more difficult on the battlefield.
When the preparations have been made, Zhao Xu made a simple gesture, and the following exercises officially began.
"The front army is dispatched," according to the specific rules of the exercise, a herald shouted the slogan in time, and then the two command flags in his hands waved at the position of the front army.
In the next time, tens of thousands of cavalry quickly advanced a distance under the command of the general above, leaving several lanes at the same time.
"The Chinese army prepares," Immediately afterwards, the next herald raised the command flag in his hand, and when the cavalry stopped, he waved the command flag in his hand as Lin Xuanzhong expected, and at the same time shouted a password towards the Chinese army area, "The archer stepped forward." ”
Under Lin Xuanzhong's attention, several rows of archers who had received instructions hurriedly ran to the road ahead, and then carried out a round of attacks on the non-existent enemy according to a series of slogans from the herald, and then retreated to their original positions as instructed.
At the same time, the cavalry in front regrouped some position in front of them, as instructed in the charge. Immediately after that, it was the turn of the infantry in the central area to run forward, and then the soldiers on the left and right flanks moved. At first, Lin Xuanzhong could still cope with those simple passwords, but when those heralds accelerated the speed of issuing instructions and improved the continuity, Lin Xuanzhong sometimes couldn't even determine the direction of his sword.
When Lin Xuanzhong forgot some of the herald's instructions because of panic, fortunately, Zhu Zizai next to him would give Lin Xuanzhong a look in time, otherwise Lin Xuanzhong might have lost his responsibility to lead the team.
"General Lin's performance is not satisfactory," on the city tower, Zhang Daring looked at Lin Xuanzhong from afar, and quickly made an evaluation.
"That's true," Yan Nantian, who had always been extremely optimistic about Lin Xuanzhong, nodded without hesitation, but then continued: "General Lin's qualifications are still young, and he still needs to be honed a lot. "Yan Nantian is a little partial to Lin Xuanzhong in the end.
Different from Yan Nantian's opinion, in Zhao Xu's eyes, Lin Xuanzhong is not just as simple as being qualified. Although Lin Xuanzhong is a newly promoted general and has not been in office for a long time, Zhao Xu knows very well that it has been a year since Lin Xuanzhong joined the army, so Lin Xuanzhong's performance is not satisfactory.
Today, let Lin Xuanzhong be in charge of leading 20,000 soldiers, Zhao Xu just wanted to see Lin Xuanzhong's command ability, and now it seems that the result is indeed unsatisfactory. As for Li Jianran, as Lin Xuanzhong's top boss, he naturally has some opinions on Lin Xuanzhong's performance at this moment.
Speaking of which, although Lin Xuanzhong has been in the army for a long time, they have not had many opportunities for collective training, so in Li Jianran's opinion, Lin Xuanzhong is quite excusable.
"General Zhang, what did you think about what I proposed to you yesterday?" Speaking of Lin Xuanzhong, Yan Nantian then remembered that Lin Xuanzhong had told him last night that he wanted to learn physical arts, and not long after Lin Xuanzhong left, Yan Nantian found Zhang Daring. It's just that Zhang Daring didn't reply in time at that time, so now Yan Nantian will mention it again.
"Just take him as an apprentice, after all, he already has a formal master, but he can take the time to guide him," Zhang Daring's tone was lukewarm, and he didn't mean to be happy at all about being able to teach someone as talented as Lin Xuanzhong.
"In this way, the general will thank General Zhang on behalf of General Lin," Zhang Daring's reason for not wanting to accept Lin Xuanzhong as an apprentice said in the past, Yan Nantian didn't think about it, and now Zhang Daring expressed his willingness to guide Lin Xuanzhong, which is enough for Yan Nantian.
"General Yan, with all due respect, you seem to be extremely concerned about General Lin's affairs, don't you know that General Li is General Lin's immediate boss?" Seeing that Yan Nantian readily accepted his reply, Zhang Daring was curious about the relationship between Yan Nantian and Lin Xuanzhong.
"Everyone has a love for talent, if General Zhang can help General Lin improve his strength, I believe General Li will not mind," Yan Nantian snorted and explained casually, not wanting this matter to cause Li Jianran to mind.
"Although General Lin is a direct subordinate of this general, he is also a member of the night army. Naturally, there would be no opinion on General Yan's approach," Li Jianran smiled, remembering the situation when Lin Xuanzhong had to put pressure on Lin Xuanzhong because he couldn't get the approval of his subordinates, and then thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong had been recognized by the entire infantry battalion soldiers, Li Jianran was already very satisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's progress, so he didn't ask too much for Lin Xuanzhong.
Even if Lin Xuanzhong and Yan Nantian were closer, as Lin Xuanzhong's direct superior, Li Jianran didn't mind at all.
"Since General Li is so numerous, General Ben naturally has nothing to say," Zhang Daring nodded seriously, and then shifted his attention to the bottom. According to Zhang Daring's character, he would not have mentioned anything related to Lin Xuanzhong, but now he asked one more question entirely because of Lin Xuanzhong himself.
Putting aside Lin Xuanzhong's identity, in terms of cultivation, Lin Xuanzhong is also a piece of jade in Zhang Daring's eyes, Zhang Daring knows very well that Lin Xuanzhong's future is limitless, whether he is in the army or wandering alone, sooner or later, Lin Xuanzhong's name will spread in the Northern Regions. Therefore, if Lin Xuanzhong can be brought together by his side now, it will be of some help to Yan Nantian or Li Jianran's future development.
Zhang Daring may not be able to think of these aspects, but some people in the riding camp can think of them, so Zhang Daring is very curious about the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and Yan Nantian.
Similar to some of Zhang Daring's ideas, in terms of cultivation, Zhao Xu also felt that Lin Xuanzhong's future was limitless, because Lin Xuanzhong's current performance had surpassed all the people who were called geniuses that Zhao Xu had seen in the past, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Xu had great expectations for Lin Xuanzhong, so he was even more dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's performance now.
Unknowingly, the first round of exercises ended, and because of Lin Xuanzhong's relationship alone, the overall effect was unsatisfactory. Due to the urgency of the current situation, Zhao Xu could not accept the results of the exercise in the end, so he instructed the three armed forces on the spot and pointed out all the inadequacies in the process of the exercise just now.
From the general to the soldiers below, all aspects were not ignored, and after the instruction, Zhao Xu asked the three armies to continue the drill until the evening, because according to the marching speed of the two countries, they could not reach Fancheng tomorrow.
The march of the combined forces of the two countries was so slow that Zhao Xu was wondering if the commanders of the two armies were planning something on the way. All in all, the night army only has one day of collective training today, so Zhao Xu wants to seize the forbidden time and let the soldiers below practice well. Even if you don't plan to eat a fat person in one bite, there are always benefits to practicing more.
After giving the order to continue the exercise, Zhao Xu left with the three main generals and Ruan Sihai, and then, Lin Xuanzhong and the others only needed to continue practicing according to Zhao Xu's instructions.
Zhao Xu's instructions just now can be said to have unabashedly pointed out some of the shortcomings of the Night Army, and also made Ruan Sihai fully understand that Zhao Xu did regard it as his own, otherwise Zhao Xu would not have made such an important matter so public.
Since Zhao Xu was so honest with him, Ruan Sihai could naturally be more assured to publicize the benefits of surrendering the night army in the city. On the other hand, Nguyen Sihai also intends to do his best to discredit the image of the armies of Fei and Yang, so as to make the people of the city understand that the night army is stationed in the city to protect them. With Ruan Sihai's help, the stability of the situation in Fancheng does not need Zhao Xu to worry about for the time being.
After Zhao Xu and the others left, the 160,000-strong army kept rehearsing on the school grounds, running around, stirring up dust, and there were more and more mistakes, not only a left wing led by Lin Xuanzhong.
From morning to evening, after practicing many times in a row, Lin Xuanzhong finally learned all the passwords, of course, he made a lot of mistakes during the period, but fortunately, he made obvious progress in the end.
When he stopped in the evening, in addition to being exhausted, he also had the same feeling of refreshment as many soldiers. If Zhao Xu comes to review the results of the training again, Lin Xuanzhong is confident enough that he will not make a mistake.
After the army was disbanded, the soldiers of each battalion separated, and Lin Xuanzhong found Zhang Jiutian, who had been waiting on the periphery, and the two went back together. I can make such progress today, and I would like to thank Zhang Jiutian for his help, so on the way back, the two talked and laughed.
Time passed little by little, and after dinner, Lin Xuanzhong received an order to go to the main hall with other generals to listen to Zhao Xu's teachings and learn about relevant matters before the war. With the help of Ruan Sihai, the army now has more food and grass, and it is not a problem for the allied forces of Fei and Yang to stalemate for several months, and the key is that the commanders of the armies of Fei and Yang will definitely not sit idly by. Based on their mission, they will engage the Night Army as quickly as possible.
