Chapter 764: Training the New Army
Chapter 764: Training the New Army
"General, your sword," after the jailer opened the cell door, Ruan Ming was the first to come out of the prison with both hands dragging the dustless sword, and this was the first time Ruan Ming had spoken to Lin Xuanzhong.
When he put the sword in the scabbard, Lin Xuanzhong knew that the matter of dealing with Ruan Ming and the others had come to an end, so his mind slowly stabilized, and in a blink of an eye, he focused on the next expedition. Without saying anything to Ruan Ming, Lin Xuanzhong personally took the ten people out and brought them to the school field.
By the time Lin Xuanzhong and the others arrived, Zhang Jiutian had already prepared those soldiers according to the establishment system of the night army. So, Lin Xuanzhong directly arranged Ruan Yi and others into the army and let them serve as generals or deputy generals.
After arranging their duties for Ruan Yi and them, the formation of 20,000 soldiers was very different from before, and it didn't look like a plate of scattered sand at all. However, one thing has not changed, the 20,000 soldiers are from top to bottom, and there is not a single person from the Night Kingdom among them, and compared with the elite of the Night Army, it is still a group of rabble.
Because he personally arranged positions for Ruan Yi and the others, Lin Xuanzhong, who originally did not need to lead this rabble, now has the mission to lead them. I don't know if this change is good or bad, but now it seems that because of giving Ruan Yi and them a promise, Lin Xuanzhong has no way out.
Unlike Fang Quyin, who wanted those soldiers to march forward for them only when they set out on the expedition, Lin Xuanzhong had already treated the 20,000 soldiers as a night army. No matter what the origin of those people was, in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, they were all fresh lives, no different from the Night Army, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't want them to die in vain, and he didn't want to ruthlessly manipulate their fate.
When Lin Xuanzhong reported the situation of disposing of Ruan Ming and others to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu didn't say anything, only let Lin Xuanzhong grasp the measure. Now that Lin Xuanzhong is already the chief general of the three armies, Zhao Xu can't say anything.
When he came back from Zhao Xu, the weather was already gloomy, just like Lin Xuanzhong's mood. Carrying the life and death of 20,000 people at once, Lin Xuanzhong, who was under that kind of pressure, was almost out of breath, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted to put down the invisible burden several times, but in the end he didn't succeed.
There was only one day to go, but the weather changed, as if it were a bad omen. Once it rains, there is a high chance that their trip will be delayed, and delaying the trip is tantamount to delaying the fighter. One problem was not solved, and another problem appeared, and the feeling of problems coming one after another made Lin Xuanzhong feel more and more depressed.
When Lin Xuanzhong, like many people, began to worry about the weather again, Yang Guo's place, a day later, Yang Huang had already received news about how the Night Kingdom would deal with the royal family of the former Wing Kingdom.
Abolish cultivation, the third generation is not allowed to cultivate martial arts, for a royal family who has a deep hatred with the night country, the ending of the royal family of the former wing country is not too bad, and the night country only punished the royal family, and those royal relatives outside are still alive and well. I don't know if the Night Emperor has any follow-up plans, but now Emperor Yang's direct feeling is that the Night Emperor is too benevolent, not like Mingjun, but he must be a benevolent monarch.
In any case, the kindness of the Night Emperor still made the originally difficult to choose Emperor Yang and his ministers make up their minds, since the royal family of the Wing Kingdom can barely be preserved, then with their current situation in the Yang Kingdom, whether it is directly returning to the Night Kingdom or reaching an alliance with the Night Kingdom, there are great conditions to negotiate.
Therefore, after Emperor Yang and his ministers decided to negotiate peace with the Night Kingdom, Emperor Yang was no longer just busy preparing for the exchange of Shi Jiangchuan and others, but also asked the ministers to draft an edict to explain to the Night Emperor as soon as possible that they wanted to establish an alliance. Since it takes time to send an envoy from Yangguo to the Night Kingdom, in order to prevent Zhao Xu from sending troops in the near future, Emperor Yang also specially sent a letter to Zhao Xu, in response to the transaction, while explaining that Yangguo wants to ally with the Night Kingdom, hoping that Zhao Xu will wait for the news of the Night Emperor.
It's just that the paper can't contain the fire, and when Emperor Yang and some ministers secretly carried out the alliance with the Night Kingdom without the secret of Qingyuan's envoy, some ministers who opposed Emperor Yang's alliance with the Night Kingdom secretly revealed the news to the Qingyuan envoy.
The Qingyuan envoy remained silent after getting the news, and was as hypocritical as before, asking Emperor Yang to insist on resisting the night army, and at the same time asking Emperor Yang to give them time for the Qingyuan Great Power to send troops to support, but secretly, the Qingyuan envoy had informed the Qingyuan Great Power of Yang's intention to return to the Night Country. It is conceivable that the Qingyuan power will not allow Yangguo to betray, but it is not yet known how the Qingyuan power will deal with Yangguo. Now the envoy of Qingyuan is waiting for his country's response, while thinking about how to control the overall situation.
When the envoy of Qingyuan was secretly plotting with those anti-night factions on how to control the government, the royal family of Gu Kingdom, who had been busy attacking the Thunder Country, had a headache for a long time recently. Since receiving the defeat of the combined forces of Fei and Yang to the night army, the whole court of the Gu Kingdom has been discussing the truth of the cold lips and teeth.
Because of the successive losses of the Snow Country and the Wing Country, only the Yang Kingdom is left in the east of the Valley Country sandwiched between the Yang Country and the Thunder Country. It is conceivable that once the Yang Kingdom falls, the Night Kingdom will definitely send troops from the territory of the Yang Kingdom, so as to attack the Gu Kingdom left and right with the Thunder Country in the west. When the time comes, the enemy will be on his back, and if he is the commander of the Gu country, he will have the ability, and the Gu country is destined to go to the footsteps of the Yang country.
He has been working for the Qingyuan country for more than a year, and unlike the situation of Yangguo and other countries, the Gu country has a deeper connection with the Qingyuan country. Compared to the long-lost Snow Country, Gu Guo's performance is not a disappointment to the Qingyuan Nation, so the Valley Country is becoming more and more loyal to the Qingyuan Nation.
I don't know when the reinforcements from the Qingyuan Great Power will arrive, but the Gu Kingdom is very worried about the fall of the Yang Kingdom, so when he comes in, the monarch of the Gu Kingdom has been busy asking for help from the Qingyuan Great Power. It's a pity that before the Qingyuan powers have given a clear answer, the Gu countries can only rely on their own strength. Fortunately, now Lei Guo is busy with the matter of the Five Nations Alliance, and the war with them is not in a hurry, and Gu Guo has just the time to deal with the eastern issue.
A few days ago, after receiving the news that the night army had sent troops to Yicheng, the court of the Gu Kingdom had already taken action, and secretly mobilized part of the troops to garrison the eastern border without the Lei Kingdom noticing, so as to deal with the problems of the night army at any time. The night army does not have many troops in the east, and it is impossible to send all the troops to Gu Guo, so Gu Guo's temporary deployment of troops is mainly based on prevention, and what Gu Guo hopes most is that Yang Guo can block the night army for them, or try his best to buy time for the Qingyuan country to send reinforcements from elsewhere.
All in all, because of the problem of cold lips and teeth, Emperor Gu and the ministers of the court were very troubled, but they had already done a certain amount of precautionary work.
Putting aside the situation in Gu Guo, early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong got up early and went to the school field to make the final preparations before the departure and review the three armies.
I thought I had come early enough, but when I arrived at the school ground, Fang Quyin was already waiting there. After saying hello to Fang Quyin, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that there were many more people on the side of the 20,000 descendants, and the current array was much larger than yesterday.
After inquiring about Fang Quyin, Lin Xuanzhong learned that the number of soldiers who had been surrendered was twice as large as before. And the extra 20,000 people today are the Yicheng City Guards who were sent back by Zhao Xu before, because those people didn't have the ability to make a living after they went back and saw the Night Army recruiting troops, so they all came back to join the army, and there were some of the original generals of the City Guards who came back.
Because the city guards were all from the army, when these people came back, Zhao Xu's first decision was to hand them over to Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin to go to Yangguo, so the size of the original army was directly doubled.
After understanding the changes in the surrender of the army, Lin Xuanzhong's mood changed, because the number of people increased, it was more difficult to lead an army composed of soldiers from several countries, but what should be done was to sit. While Fang Quyin was busy reviewing the elite of the 60,000 Night Army, Lin Xuanzhong was responsible for compiling the soldiers again.
After gathering together, by noon, Lin Xuanzhong had finally found a sufficient number of generals for those ordinary soldiers.
After the establishment was completed, Lin Xuanzhong asked the 40,000 new troops to line up, and then distributed them directly on the school field. Although it was only one afternoon, Lin Xuanzhong still wanted to train the new army. After deliberately selecting some people from the elite, Lin Xuanzhong instructed the training to go down, from the general above to the officers below to the ordinary soldiers, everyone had to participate in the training.
Before the training began, Lin Xuanzhong found out all the generals of the new army, announced the upcoming expedition to Yangguo, and then let them participate in the training.
Speaking of which, most of the tens of thousands of new soldiers may have been trained longer than many of the night army elites have received in the past, but today Lin Xuanzhong is going to train them in the same way as training the night army. At present, what makes Lin Xuanzhong feel embarrassed is to communicate with those generals, aside from other generals, although Ruan Yi and others have reached the standard of serving as generals in their personal strength, they may only know how to fight Ruan Yi alone, so Lin Xuanzhong can't explain some things directly to them.
It is not only necessary to teach the soldiers below, but also to teach the generals above, for Lin Xuanzhong, it is not an overnight time to solve the problems related to the new army. Letting those generals participate in the training today is just that Lin Xuanzhong wants them to experience the training method of the night army.
While thinking about the problems in the new army, he looked the soldiers in front of him up and down, all of them were wearing the uniforms of the night army and using the weapons of the night army, looking no different from the real night army.
Judging from the armament of those soldiers alone, the attitude of the night army towards the new army can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
When some night army personnel explained the training content, Lin Xuanzhong looked at it while walking, and looked at the military appearance of the new army.
Not long after, those who were responsible for the specific guidance of the training of the recruits entered the queue one after another, replaced some of the officers, and all the relevant personnel were in place, and the generals above shouted slogans, and the 40,000 new troops moved in unison, waving their respective weapons and practicing simple movements. Those who don't all imitate the Night Soldiers in the queue, and those who are responsible for leading the training of the new army are dressed differently from normal sergeants, and they are easily noticed by those around them in the queue.
