Section 12 There is no choice
The atmosphere was particularly gloomy and solemn, and the stragglers leaned against the wall of the military village in twos and threes, and there were shabby burdens and bags on the side of the wall, and a few people simply slept next to them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The entire Snake Fort military fortress was a little cramped and crowded under the influx of more than 2,000 people, except for the row of slightly eye-catching stone forts, the middle of the entire military fortress was crowded with piles of people, like an earthy yellow piece of paper smeared with colorful paint.
"Damn, you drove us here to encircle us in one fell swoop?!"
"Okay, Zhu Erlai, do you still need to encircle and annihilate? starve you for two more days, you yourself will have to lie on the ground, and you won't have the strength to resist when someone comes to cut off your head, do you know how much rice is on the market?"
"Fuck off, do you know again? A few bowls of gruel haven't filled your stomach yet, and you're going to work again, Zhang Laowang?"
"The dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! At this time, you can afford to jump, and when Lord Chai comes back later, you are really going to recruit people, and you are bored again, and if you are eliminated, then you will be resentful. ā
Zhang Laowang, who was sitting next to the flagpole, lazily searched for lice on his body, pinched one to death with a rattle, and sold his mouth without a word.
There are already a lot of people around, dozens of them are black, and there are more than a dozen people like this in the military village.
Everyone either gathered together with the original system in the Zhongzheng Army or the Desheng Army, or they gathered in a pile with the accent of their hometown, pricking up their ears to listen to the fiddling of the well-informed people inside.
Hearing Zhang Laowang say that he was eliminated, the cadres were like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and they immediately buzzed and became restless.
Everyone was eliminated in the last round of screening, and since they were eliminated, there are naturally reasons, either because they are older, or they have some painful wounds, or they have poor military discipline, and the latter is probably the most important factor.
During the siege of the city by the Eastern Navy and the Town Navy, these people withstood the attack of the Eastern Navy and the Town Navy, but they also paid a heavy price.
After the armistice, once these pressures are gone, some people will find it difficult to control their emotions, indulge in indulgence, and the end result will be that when it is time to reselect elite troops to form two armies, many people here have not yet reacted.
The screening time is very short, and if there is no better performance, it is immediately eliminated, and there is no room for manoeuvre.
In fact, these people who indulge themselves in poor military discipline are not all inferior in combat effectiveness, on the contrary, many of them are those who dare to face difficulties on the battlefield and fight to the death.
Therefore, these people are very unconvinced to be eliminated, and they also know very well how tragic their fate will be once they are sent back to their hometowns, so they will have to take risks.
Now it seems that this fight has finally ushered in a little change.
This is won by three heads, of course, there are some inexplicable reasons here, at least the few people who lost their heads are not good, and the big-headed soldiers are not fools, and they understand that there are many tricks hidden behind this.
They are now more anxiously awaiting the end of their fate.
They all knew General Chai, and it was based on their belief in General Chai that these people obediently came to the abandoned military village on the outskirts of the city.
This snake fort military village is the military village built in the era of Yang Xingmi, only a few miles away from Hefei City, the geographical location is good, but it was abandoned in the Yang Wu era, because since that era, Kuzhou has never encountered a war, occasionally in the drill when the army wants to come to Luzhou for inspection, most of the time it is abandoned.
Now everyone is bored and waiting for General Chai's return with trepidation.
"Brother Wang, do you say that the defense and capture will allow you to agree to General Chai's plea?"
This sentence, which hid everyone's hearts, was asked by a somewhat immature voice, which suddenly quieted down the group.
After so many years in the army, no one does not know how bad the nature of today's mutiny and riots is.
They also don't think that Jiang Feng is benevolent, and it is never possible for a benevolent person to gain a foothold in the army.
But they have no choice, returning to the countryside to work in the countryside is more fearful to them than to kill their heads, some of them have never even touched the farm, if they want to go to the barefoot and ragged mud legs all day with their backs to the loess, day after day to plow, they would rather choose to die.
So they chose to give it a go at the instigation of people with hearts.
They don't know the outcome of this fight yet, but at least they tried.
The appearance of Chai Yong made them even more like seeing a savior, this former general in the Desheng army, shouldered the heavy responsibility of petitioning for them, and all their hopes were maintained on him.
But they also knew that the lord of Huaiyou was not so easy to agree, and if this kind of thing set a precedent, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to the prestige of the human monarch, and no one would easily tolerate it.
The atmosphere was particularly surprising.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Zhang Laowang felt that his neck was a little itchy, and he subconsciously scratched it.
He is a native of Shen County (now Feidong), and Chai Yong is a fellow countryman, and he has worked hard with Chai Yong for many years, but it does not mean that he knows much about this matter, but when Chai Yong left, he also followed and asked, Chai Yong only said the word waiting, which made him give birth to infinite hope out of thin air.
General Chai is not a person who talks nonsense, he dares to say so, and he naturally has confidence.
Maybe this has been a drama for a long time? The lord of Huaiyou, who was said to be a big-headed soldier like everyone else a few years ago, maybe he had an agreement with General Chai?
Zhang Laowang didn't dare to think deeply, but he knew that the defense guard was the same as General Chai, different from other generals, they were all from the same poor background as everyone else, and they all started from the big head soldiers, maybe this is the reason to make the defense guard make the big man open the net?
"Cough, cough, I don't know about this kind of thing, if you want to change it elsewhere, maybe the big guy has already lost his head. Zhang Laowang straightened his body, "But I heard that this defense guard is a little different, he is from the same background as all of us, if it is a brother over there in Gwangju, he should know that he can understand the suffering of our poor soldiers, we can go to the battlefield to die in battle, at least we can leave some gifts for our families, and make some honors, but we can't let us die of old age and illness in the fields." ā
Zhang Laowang's words expressed everyone's thoughts.
They are all rough men who are soldiers and eat food, and they suddenly want everyone to go to the fields to mess around, how can this be acceptable?
It's really better to go into battle to win a life and death, even if they die, they can give some gifts for their families, and if they are lucky, they can make some honors.
"Yes, we'd rather go to the battlefield and fight to the death!"
"I'd rather die on the battlefield than lie in the countryside!"
"How can a soldier die under a bed?!"
Immediately attracted a group of rough men to shout, and the crowd was surging.
"Okay, General Chai hasn't come back yet, let's be safe, do you really want to let someone else's knife and gun hit everyone's neck?" Zhu Erlai roared angrily: "Who let you not be selected?"
One sentence made everyone deflated again, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, I gave you a chance, I was grasped, who do you blame?
"No matter what, we just want a chance to go to the battlefield and fight to the death, can't we be satisfied with this little bit of defense and capture?
"Yes, let's give this life to the defense and capture envoy, but it has to be on the battlefield, not in the field!"
For a while, the people in the entire military village were boiled by this uproar.
"Good!"
The sound is like a flood of bells, coming from afar.
"So-and-so won this opportunity for you!" A figure broke through the air from outside the wall, and suddenly landed next to the flagpole, Zhang Laowang, Zhu Erlai and others had already given up a circle.
Chai Yong landed proudly and looked around.
People began to pour in all around, forming a huge and airtight circle around the flagpole.
"I have already implored the defense and capture envoy, the king has agreed to form the tenth army of the Huaiyou Left Wing Army, with a strength of 2,500 people, five battalions and twenty-five capitals, five battalion commanders and five battalion commanders and deputy envoys, twenty-five heads and deputy heads, everyone present, if you are interested in competing for this position, you can now line up here to sign up!"
Chai Yong's voice was clear and loud, and every corner of the entire military village could be heard clearly, "The rest of the people can go to the right door to sign up for naturalization, 2,500 people, Zhang Laowang!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"You and Zhu Erlai are responsible for organizing the registration and selection of soldiers, if there is a difference, you will have your head!"
"Don't worry, the general and the second lai don't dare to delay the general's big event without eating or drinking!" Zhang Laowang's face was flushed, his head was raised in anticipation, and he said hesitantly.
"Okay! Within three days, the battalions will be formed, and a certain person who wants to see their own drills, and who wants to fight for the position of commander of the battalion and the head of the capital, although he will let the horse come, a certain will only believe in his own eyes, and take out those useless tricks to fool him!" Chai Yongsen said.
Chai Yong was well aware of the pressure he was facing, Jiang Feng gave himself such an opportunity, and actually pushed himself to a dead end.
After 15 days, the Tenth Army will set off for Haozhou together with the First Army, the Sixth Army, the Eighth Army, and the Tooth Army of the Left Wing Army, as well as the First Army and the Second Army of the Right Wing Army of Qin Han and Luo Chenggan, and may be thrown into the Huaibei battlefield at any time.
And the challenge does not stop there, if the Tenth Army wants to gain a firm foothold in the Huaiyou Army, it must be shown in this battle, and Jiang Feng also made it clear that the Tenth Army must prove itself in the first battle, which is the most critical.
Although he didn't know that this battle would be fought like this, Chai Yong knew that it would be a life-and-death battle, and he and his 10th Army had no choice!
