Chapter 69: Joining the Army
It's said to test what kind of troops they are suitable for, but in fact, there are only two kinds of archery and weightlifting. Chu Yulong's results in weightlifting are not bad, but they are not very good in archery, not that they are clumsy, but they have basically never been exposed to archery, and they do not have the strength of cultivators, so their results are naturally not very good.
In the end, Chu Yulong and the others all became infantrymen, and in view of their good performance in the assessment, they were all appointed as captains, and there were four or five people under them. Speaking of which, Captain Wu is an official, but in fact he is not counted, and there is no difference between him and ordinary soldiers in terms of various treatments.
This time it was a border general who rebelled, and it was not clear who was right and who was wrong with the emperor. However, since the general rebelled, there were many soldiers following the emperor, and the number of troops on the emperor's side was somewhat insufficient, so the number of recruits recruited this time was very large. Both sides are standing still, seizing the time to recruit new recruits and train troops, and at the same time constantly sending spies to spy on each other's local intelligence.
The training of recruits is a bit boring, and they practice on the school field every day with standard weapons, and they have to conduct physical training from time to time, which is quite fortunate.
During the training, Chu Yulong and they also met a lot of veterans who came to squeeze the military salary, Shi Yi was angry that they didn't care about the military salary, so in order not to cause trouble, they gave them the military salary. But for Chu Yulong, who has always been stingy, it is obviously impossible for him to give over his general's salary, so he fought with those veterans, although he beat a few veterans away, but Chu Yulong is also blue and purple, after all, he is no different from ordinary people now, but his physical fitness is a little better.
It is not the norm for veterans to squeeze new recruits, but it is not uncommon for veterans to let recruits beat, and Chu Yulong is in the limelight in the barracks. At least those veterans who came to squeeze the recruits won't come to "Chu Erdan" here. The matter of Chu Yulong beating the veteran reached the ears of the centurion, and the centurion just smiled at this, remembered the name "Chu Erdan", and felt that if Chu Yulong's performance on the battlefield was also good, he could make him a ten-captain.
The battle between Chu Yulong and the veteran set off a small storm in this camp, and it was quickly overshadowed by the new focus. In addition to Chu Yulong, Chu Xue'er also attracted a certain amount of attention, mainly because Chu Xue'er was a daughter after all, even if she had the cover of the treasures given by the Chu family, there were still some places that attracted the attention of others. But no one cared, and regarded Chu Xue'er as the descendant of the broken aristocracy.
After all, the general who visited was a rare general, and the training of recruits was much stronger than that of the emperor's side, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that this general was guarding the border, worried about being attacked from both sides, leaving a large number of troops on the border, I was afraid that the emperor's side would not even have time to recruit recruits. Even so, there was not much time left for the emperor's side, and Chu Yulong and the others had only trained for three months before they hurriedly went to the battlefield.
Perhaps the emperor's side was not exhausted, and he inadvertently surrounded the general's vanguard troops. So the twins were stationed again and began to confront each other. The emperor's side condescendingly overlooked the general's camp. The general wanted to change places, only then the encircled vanguard would be wiped out. Not to mention the loss of troops, just the discouragement of the army is enough to kill the general, you must know that he does not occupy the righteousness in the first place.
Chu Yulong and the others were arranged to the center of the camp as recruits, after all, if a recruit like them who had not yet experienced the baptism of war was raided, he was afraid that he would collapse in an instant, and the advantage that was not easy to obtain would disappear. Although he is not as good as the general who rebelled, he is not a simple character who can become a general who can lead the army.
It's just that in this way, Chu Yulong and they seem to have a little nothing to do, but this is also a good thing for those generals who command the troops, after all, they will have time to complete the training that the recruits have not yet completed.
Time passed, and it was clear that the situation was unfavorable when it was unexpected, but the rebellious general was really not in a hurry at all. Just sent someone to sneak in and tell the encircled vanguard troops to wait for support with peace of mind, and there was no follow-up. It's just that the general is not in a hurry, but the emperor is very anxious, after all, he can't quickly assess the rebellion, and it is difficult to guarantee whether some ambitious courtiers will have any ideas.
In order to quickly assess the rebellion, the emperor also went to the hospital in a hurry. Not only was the forced conscription carried out on a large scale, but even the agricultural work was delayed. Moreover, in order to ensure military supplies, he even forcibly demanded it directly from the people, and for a while, more people raised their hearts to defend against him. Caught in a vicious circle.
Waves of reinforcements continued to pour into Chu Yulong's camp, and the gap in strength between the two sides continued to widen, but the rebel general's camp had always been crumbling, but it was unbreakable. On this day, new reinforcements came to Chu Yulong's camp, and it seemed that it was just a very ordinary support, but for some reason, Chu Yulong and their hearts were faintly uneasy.
At night, the camp with a lot of supplies was hospitable to the new reinforcements, and the smell of wine and meat was so fragrant that even the general's camp could faintly smell it. Each of the generals had a gloomy face, and not only was the other side replenished with reinforcements from time to time, but also far more abundant than them, so it seemed that they had no chance of victory. It's just that for some reason, there was a hint of excitement on the general's face.
Before I knew it, the night was getting dark, but the soldiers who were patrolling outside really didn't dare to be careless, although the male lion on the opposite side did not show its claws, but who dared to despise him.
At night, the torches of the tent were reflected on the faces of the soldiers, and they looked at the man standing in front of the tent, and the excitement in their hearts could not be calmed down for a moment. Because the man told them that today was the time for the overthrow of the Faint King.
Hidden by the darkness of the night, a huge crowd silently marched towards the camp. The camp could already be seen from afar, and the general grinned and took something out of his bosom, which was where he dared to rebel. He pulled the lead down, and threw it away, and for a moment it was as if it were day.
This sudden strange phenomenon alarmed many people, and also made the hearts of many people who waited for it happy. Taking advantage of the confusion of the people, they set fire to the tents in the camp, and although it was not known why the people who had come to support them did so, it did not prevent them from rowing them into the ranks of the enemy.
There was chaos in the camp, and Chu Yulong and the others were also fighting hard, and blood stained their clothes red. Not only them, but the veterans and the few recruits were fighting hard. But I don't know who shouted, "Run" turned out to be a deserter.
