Chapter 631: Military Exercises

"It's almost fine, but it will take some time to fully recover," Zhang Jiutian continued: "There is an arrangement today, the general will go to the school with me to train soldiers." I'm wounded right now, and I'm not in a position to train soldiers properly. Like Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian was also very casual when he spoke. After getting along for a while recently, the two have become true friends.

"Then let's go," I didn't know what was scheduled today, but after communicating with Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong found a place to go.

Not long after, the two walked side by side to the south gate, and the 160,000 army had been spread out in the pass, from the battalion to the department, the three kinds of soldiers were lined up in turn, and the formation was clearly divided. The cavalry was in the front, the archers in the center, and the infantry in the rear.

After communicating with some generals who arrived earlier, Lin Zhong knew that Zhao Xu was going to train the soldiers in person today, not the usual kind of training, and Zhao Xu was going to review the results of ordinary soldier training.

To put it simply, Zhao Xu just wanted to see the ability of the generals below to arrange troops. It's a pity that whether it is ordinary training or today's collective training, Lin Xuanzhong does not have qualified guidance ability. Now that Zhang Jiutian was injured and Yu Tong was no longer alive, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but feel nervous when he realized that he had no ability to lead the soldiers below to line up and arrange the formation.

"Zhang Jiutian, today's training is still under your command, right?" After fully understanding today's affairs from other generals, although he was a little embarrassed, at the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong still wanted to count on Zhang Jiutian.

"General, if it is a weekday, his subordinates naturally have nothing to say, but today I also ask the general to understand that his subordinates are injured and it is difficult to take on important responsibilities," Zhang Jiutian was clear about Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts, and naturally knew why Lin Xuanzhong wanted to beat him.

However, it is most appropriate for Lin Xuanzhong to come forward in today's military training, first, Lin Xuanzhong is the real general; second, Lin Xuanzhong's ability in military training is limited, Zhang Jiutian felt that Lin Xuanzhong should cultivate this ability, so he immediately smiled and declined, and pushed the problem onto Lin Xuanzhong.

"General don't worry, in fact, today's training is not as difficult as you think," After returning the problem to Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian quickly noticed that Lin Xuanzhong became nervous, and that cramped look made Zhang Jiutian feel funny on the one hand, but also a little uneasy, so thinking about it, Zhang Jiutian continued: "Before the marshal officially trains the troops, there is still a period of normal drills. I can teach the general what to do when the time comes, I wonder what the general thinks?"

"It's best to be so natural," Lin Xuanzhong, who was nervous and didn't know what to do, suddenly heard Zhang Jiutian say this, and immediately laughed. While thinking that Zhang Jiutian was interesting enough, he was thinking that what Zhang Jiutian wanted to teach should not be too difficult.

When Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian were talking, the soldiers behind the two were extremely excited, and Lin Xuanzhong's not too tall back had a great impact on them, because now Lin Xuanzhong has become a legend in the eyes of many soldiers.

From being despised at the beginning, to being recognized in the middle, and then to being outstanding in the end, in just a few months, Lin Xuanzhong's image in the eyes of many soldiers has changed qualitatively, and now there is no soldier who does not admire Lin Xuanzhong. Not only the soldiers of the headquarters were like this, but the soldiers of other departments were extremely excited after seeing the white-haired Lin Xuanzhong on such a public occasion.

For them, some of Lin Xuanzhong's recent deeds are like legends, and many people fantasize about one day being as outstanding as Lin Xuanzhong. In addition, based on Lin Xuanzhong's extraordinary deeds, Lin Xuanzhong's status has long surpassed that of ordinary generals in the hearts of many people, so the current Lin Xuanzhong can be said to be in the limelight.

Today, Lin Xuanzhong stood on the school ground, and his straight figure caused a sensation, and the power of many generals was not as powerful as Lin Xuanzhong. Although Lin Xuanzhong didn't realize how special his existence was, and was still nervous about what he was going to do next, the atmosphere around him had changed significantly. If it weren't for Zhao Xu on the city tower, maybe some soldiers would have excitedly shouted Lin Xuanzhong's name.

Speaking of which, even if Lin Xuanzhong does not have the identity of a general, he is still a high-profile genius in the army, if there is no war, no matter where Lin Xuanzhong lives, there will be a group of ordinary people who admire Lin Xuanzhong around. Now that the war has brought them together, ordinary soldiers naturally want to be as good as Lin Xuanzhong.

"Silence," after talking to several main generals for a while, Zhao Xu's attention finally shifted to the army below. Standing on the high castle tower, looking down on the night army. 160,000 people lined up in turn, the formation was quite huge, after observing from front to back, Zhao Xu shouted directly to the soldiers below, preparing to make a speech before the military inspection, encouraging the morale of the army and boosting the fighting spirit.

Next to Zhao Xu, the three main generals stood side by side, and next to him was Ruan Sihai, who had come to see the appearance of the night army.

For Ruan Sihai, although there are only 160,000 night troops in the pass, the lineup of the night army is still extremely huge in his heart, and even Ruan Sihai's fear of the upcoming Fei and Yang armies has weakened a little.

Putting aside Ruan Sihai's opinion, the inside of the pass is empty, like a specially left training place, after the hundreds of thousands of troops are neatly arranged, there is still a lot of space on the periphery, and there is such ample space in the pass, which is the reason why Zhao Xu wants to train troops collectively.

For the night army, which has strong morale, training is even more beneficial in consolidating morale, and because of the majority of recruits, the training of all soldiers will also contribute to the progress of the new army.

After completely quieting down below, Zhang Daring, who has now become the commander of the third battalion, took the lead in coming forward and announced the reason why they would gather here today on behalf of Zhao Xu to the 160,000 troops below.

Immediately afterwards, according to Zhao Xu's explanation, Zhang Daring subdivided the sergeants of the third battalion into several parts. It is divided into five parts: the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the left wing and the right wing. Each section is composed of tens of thousands of soldiers, and among tens of thousands of soldiers there is a single branch, and there are mixed services. Next, Zhang Daring emphasized how Zhao Xu should review the training results of the three services.

Waiting for Zhang Daring to finish those rules and rules one by one, it saved Zhang Jiutian the trouble of pointing out Lin Xuanzhong one by one. With Lin Xuanzhong's cleverness, after listening to what Zhang Daring said, he already understood the significance of Zhao Xu's military training this time.

After Zhang Daring finished speaking, Zhao Xu stood in front again, starting from fighting against the Wing Army in the Snow Country, and until the current situation, he kept saying something to encourage the army's morale and boost the fighting spirit, and he stopped until the army's morale was inspired, and the fighting spirit was excited.

Next, as Zhang Jiutian said before, it was the normal training time of the soldiers below, and the cavalry practiced their fighting ability on horseback; the archers kept following the slogan, first taking off the bow and arrow on their backs, then pulling the string on the arrow, and then collecting the arrows and re-carrying the bow and arrow and replacing them with short weapons; on the infantry side, there were basically only three slogans, "Forward, attack, and retreat." ”

The soldiers of the three battalions practiced separately and did not affect each other, and Ruan Sihai in the city saw that the movements of the night army during the drill were so neat and amazing, and his heart was touched. However, in Zhao Xu's opinion, the performance of the soldiers below did not satisfy him, because many places showed deficiencies. It's a pity that now is not the time to correct, after all, it is impossible to change the majority of recruits in the army, and in a short period of time, Zhao Xu can't expect the quality of those new troops to catch up with the veterans.

While Zhao Xu and the others were observing the training of the soldiers below, on the other side, Zhang Jiutian took Lin Xuanzhong back and forth in the queue of soldiers in his headquarters, checking whether the movements of those soldiers were neat and consistent, and teaching Lin Xuanzhong some things.

Compared with the soldiers of other departments, Lin Xuanzhong's department is excellent enough in the entire army, because almost all the personnel who make up this department are the previous night army, and they have received a long period of formal training a long time ago, and then they have experienced many battles, so it can be said that each of them is of extremely high quality.

During Lin Xuanzhong's inspection, those soldiers, regardless of their age, competed with each other to fully display the results of ordinary training. The incomparably sharp morale also put a lot of pressure on Lin Xuanzhong, and Lin Xuanzhong could feel that the murderous aura emanating from the demeanor of those soldiers was indeed extraordinary. If you can't take them to participate in group training, you can imagine how embarrassing it will be then, thinking about Lin Xuanzhong, he was nervous again.

In addition, when Zhang Daring was dividing the troops just now, he also pointed out that Lin Xuanzhong should be the person in charge of the left wing, that is to say, Lin Xuanzhong not only had to take the soldiers of his headquarters to participate in the rehearsal, but also the soldiers of many other departments. If Lin Xuanzhong didn't understand the banner and couldn't understand the specific password of the herald at that time, and could only take 20,000 soldiers to run around on the school ground, then after today, Lin Xuanzhong's reputation in the army would definitely be greater than before.

After today's events continued to exceed expectations, even with Zhang Jiutian by his side, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't eliminate the tension in his heart. While he was afraid that he would not do well, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but regret it. If I had studied the art of war well and accompanied the soldiers in training, perhaps I would not have been so difficult today.

"General, the soldiers in the headquarters are very good, no one should make a mistake in training, as long as you can lead them correctly to gallop on the battlefield, today will pass quickly," the tense atmosphere made Zhang Jiutian gradually become serious, and the tone of his conversation with Lin Xuanzhong was obviously more serious than before, which made Lin Xuanzhong feel like he was before the war, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

In the past period of time, Lin Xuanzhong recalled almost all the wars he had experienced before, and kept thinking back to the time when he was an ordinary man, and finally found some clues related to today's military training.
