Chapter 499: Humiliation in public

After Lin Xuanzhong left, the generals who were still eating were even more unscrupulous, using all kinds of words to ridicule Lin Xuanzhong's strength. In fact, the reason why they looked down on Lin Xuanzhong had a lot to do with Lin Xuanzhong's uncertain merits, especially the many generals of the cavalry battalion and the arrow battalion, and they didn't think that Lin Xuanzhong was really a person who had made great contributions.

In addition, because of the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and Lan Feng, they disliked Lin Xuanzhong more and more, and none of them wanted to get close to Lin Xuanzhong.

When the generals of the cavalry battalion and the arrow battalion were discussing Lin Xuanzhong, even if the infantry battalion generals who were eating together had the heart to say two good words for Lin Xuanzhong, the last one still couldn't open his mouth, so he could only keep a distance from Lin Xuanzhong. In this way, Lin Xuanzhong became more and more isolated by everyone.

After returning to his residence, Lin Xuanzhong was in a difficult mood, and his mind was full of the scene in the dining room just now. At that time, I couldn't observe those generals one by one, and I hastily finished a dinner, and now I think that since those people look down on me and I don't want to please them, it is better to keep my distance from those people.

After going through so many things, Lin Xuanzhong's mind is not comparable to ordinary people, in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong actually doesn't feel that he is inferior to those generals, so there is no need to take those people's words to heart.

Outside the dining room, Lin Xuanzhong walked straight to his residence. Because of the relationship between wearing generals' uniforms, those ordinary soldiers on the road would salute when they saw Lin Xuanzhong. However, after some commanders recognized Lin Xuanzhong's identity, they ignored Lin Xuanzhong and walked directly to the side, saving Lin Xuanzhong time to respond to them.

After returning to his residence, he didn't think about anything, and Lin Xuanzhong had a good night's rest. Early the next morning, a horn sounded, waking up Lin Xuanzhong, who was still in a dream, got up and found a place to wash, and then hurriedly followed the other generals to the camp to line up.

When lining up, Lin Xuanzhong saw the two lieutenants below, one young and the other old, the younger one was in his twenties, and the older was more than forty.

"Meet the general," when Lin Xuanzhong stood in front of the two, the two saluted one after another.

"Subordinate to Yu Tong. ”

"Subordinate Zhang Jiutian. ”

Yu Tong's name was very ordinary, but the three words "Zhang Jiutian" surprised Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't expect that the person standing in front of him was actually a well-known martial arts genius in the barracks.

After taking a closer look, Zhang Jiutian's figure was amazing and his aura was unique, which was very different from ordinary martial arts cultivators. Surprised, Lin Xuanzhong nodded to the two of them, and there was a special emotion in his heart. It's nothing that there will be two adjutant generals, the key is that there is Zhang Jiutian among them. Thinking about it, if Fang Qing and Ni Youbin knew about it, the two of them would definitely be as surprised as themselves.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, not long after, one of the commanders above announced that the three armies would be divided into three, divided into three parts: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, and rushed to the snow country border to garrison.

The front army and the grain and grass troops will go first tomorrow, the Chinese army will set off every three days, and the rear army will leave every three days. Rushing to the border pass to garrison is one of the purposes, training the army is the main thing, and the shield soldiers of the wing army have made Zhao Xu realize the importance of diversification of troops. As long as measures are adapted to local conditions, any branch of the army can exert tremendous combat power.

According to Zhao Wu's instructions before leaving, Zhao Xu was going to build a shield soldier, or to find an effective way to deal with the shield soldier before.

During the war with the Wing Army, the Right Prime Minister has successively issued recruitment notices in various cities in the Snow Country, and all men who have reached the age of 16 can join the army, and the Night Country will be treated equally, and any civilian in the Snow Country who joins the army can enjoy the same treatment as the original Night Army.

In the past half a month, 30,000 people have been recruited one after another, and now recruits from all over the country are rushing to Windless City, and when the time comes, they will rush to the Beast Ridge Pass on the southern border of the Snow Country together with the rear army of the Night Army.

Thirty thousand conscripts was a small number, but it was a good start for the Night Army. In the last decisive battle with the Wing Army, a total of about 40,000 troops were lost, and now 30,000 new soldiers are just enough to fill the vacancy. Moreover, the conscription continues, and according to the current situation, the night army can recruit more personnel from all over the country. At that time, all of them will be sent to Beast Ridge Pass for training, and it can be said that the night army will have more and more troops in the Snow Country.

After explaining the reason and purpose of the whole army's garrison at Beast Ridge Pass, the chief general above mentioned some things about the wing army. After the Battle of Winless City, the Wing Army, which had lost a large number of personnel, had already withdrawn from the territory of Snow Country, and had come and gone fast, and now it had retreated beyond the border pass.

This time, the Wing Kingdom lost more than 200,000 troops, and according to Zhao Xu and the main generals, in a short period of time, the Wing Army will not come to conquer the night army again. Of course, the Night Army had to be defended, after all, there was more than one Wing Country next to the Snow Country.

After explaining many things in the military field, the matter of sending troops tomorrow was officially decided, and then the whole army was disbanded. Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go back to his residence to stay, but when Lin Xuanzhong left, Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian followed.

"You two?" I don't know what the two of them mean by following him, and sensing that there is someone behind him, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but look back.

"General, since Zhang Jiutian and I are your subordinates, we naturally want to follow you and listen to your orders at any time. The older Yu Tong understood what Lin Xuanzhong meant, and explained lukewarmly.

"There is no need to train soldiers to prepare for the dispatch of troops in the army today, you can move freely, you don't have to follow me," Lin Xuanzhong wanted to get rid of the two, although there was no legitimate reason.

"The first general, don't you go to inspect the soldiers in your headquarters, and don't want to know about the situation of other subordinates?" Yu Tong asked with some disdain, and at the same time kept thinking in his heart that Lin Xuanzhong was really not the material to be a general, and it was better to let a fifth-order martial artist become a general, it was better to change it to Zhang Jiutian beside him, thinking about it, he glanced at Zhang Jiutian with a deep meaning.

"Okay, let's go," nodding at Yu Tong, Lin Xuanzhong felt that there was some truth in what the deputy general in front of him said. Since the introduction of the general system, the establishment of the army has changed, and the number of troops was counted according to 10,000 troops per army, but now it is calculated according to 3,342 troops per army. Each division had one general, two lieutenants, nine thousands, thirty centurions, three hundred commanders, and three thousand ordinary soldiers.

With so many people in charge at once, it's really time to find out. It didn't take long for him to come back to his senses, and Lin Xuanzhong said directly to the two: "I'm tired of the two of you leading the way." ”

"Don't dare to be," Yu Tong smiled at the appearance, and said very politely, but when he spoke, he didn't seem to be so polite.

"Please," on the other side, Zhang Jiutian just said a simple word.

Probably because he was a little nervous, Lin Xuanzhong didn't pay attention to Yu Tong's expression when he spoke. Not long after, following the two of them, they came to a place. In front of the three of them, thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx, waiting for the general above to disband them, and their general was Lin Xuanzhong.

"How many people are there in the headquarters?" The number of people in front of him seemed to be more than the number of people in the establishment, Lin Xuanzhong was a little puzzled, so he wanted to make sure.

"Counting the general and me, there are a total of three thousand three hundred and forty-two people, one is no more and one is not less," Yu Tong's expressionless face was even more disdainful that Lin Xuanzhong didn't even know about the establishment of the army, and after speaking, he took the lead in front of the phalanx, "All the commanders, centurions, and even the commanders are out of line." ”

"Yes," there was a continuous echo from around the phalanx, and some people quickly stepped out of the front of the line. According to the different costumes, Lin Xuanzhong could distinguish their identities.

"Don't you salute when you see the general?" The people stood in several rows between the ranks, and when they were all out of the ranks, Yu Tong shouted directly at them.

"See General," Receiving instructions, three hundred and thirty-nine junior officers saluted Lin Xuanzhong in unison.

It's hard for many people to bow to themselves slightly, this feeling is unprecedented, and then look at those people, there are sixth-order martial cultivators and fifth-order martial cultivators, all of them with their heads held high, and their momentum is extraordinary, Lin Xuanzhong has a feeling of being a superior. It's just that the temperament of those people is a little special, as if they are not facing their superiors, and Lin Xuanzhong's special feeling quickly disappeared again.

"General, it's better to make a tour of the formation, so that you can carefully observe the personnel situation of the headquarters. When Lin Xuanzhong wanted to understand what was going on, Yu Tongpi on the side made a suggestion without smiling.

I don't know much about things in the army, but I think Yu Tong should know a lot, and Lin Xuanzhong thinks Yu Tong's advice is very good.

"Let's go over and have a look together," nodding, Lin Xuanzhong entered through the entrance of the first row, passed in front of a group of officers, and then walked to the front of the queue of ordinary soldiers, observing them one by one.

Like those junior officers, ordinary soldiers also held their heads high, and they were all in excellent condition, even Lin Xuanzhong didn't look at them properly.

Originally, he just thought that the morale of those soldiers was high, but after careful observation, Lin Xuanzhong found that many people seemed to be reluctant to look at themselves. When Lin Xuanzhong noticed this, the whispering voices of some soldiers also reached Lin Xuanzhong's ears, and those contemptuous words confirmed Lin Xuanzhong's guess.

"He's our general?"

"That's right, he's that Lin Xuanzhong!"

"How can a fifth-order martial cultivator be a general? I'm afraid his strength is not as good as those thousand masters. ”

"Don't say that, his position is the marshal's own title. With all these unbearable words, and more and more strange eyes, Lin Xuanzhong slowly realized that in the eyes of those ordinary soldiers, his rank did not match his strength.

Thinking of the difference between those generals and themselves last night, walking in the army, slowly only a feeling of humiliation remained.

"General, those subordinates don't understand military regulations and talk nonsense, generals, don't take it to heart," those soldiers' comments were a blow to Lin Xuanzhong, but for Tong, it was an intuitive embodiment of the achievement of the goal. While secretly sneering, Yu Tong did not forget to pretend to be kind to comfort Lin Xuanzhong.

"Adjutant General Yu, is he really our general?" As soon as Yu Tong finished speaking, a commander who followed behind deliberately asked loudly.

"Impossible, it is said that our general is wise and martial, has made great military achievements, and is still the marshal himself, how can he be so ordinary as this person," did not mean to answer, a thousand commanders immediately answered, and there was no respect for Lin Xuanzhong in his words.
