"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, the table in front of Ouyang Bo was directly shattered into slag.

This battle was really lost too suddenly, too depressed, and Rao is Ouyang Bo's unfazed state of mind couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Although the rout of this battle really had nothing to do with his command, it was entirely caused by a group of masters who suddenly appeared in the Gale Empire, but in any case, defeat is defeat, and as the supreme commander of the army, he could not escape the blame.

Moreover, what made him even more angry was that those middle-level generals such as captains and commanders were dead, but Wang Gang, a henchman who had followed him for many years, was also killed in this battle, which was undoubtedly a great loss for him. You must know that the high-level general at this level is not something that can be promoted, even if he is the supreme commander of the Bishan Military Camp, he does not have the right to appoint someone as the commander without a word, Wang Gang's death, it is obviously not easy for him to get another henchman of the same level in a short time. And although the other high-level generals are basically obedient to him, they are still separated by a layer after all, and they are not confidants.

After a long time, Ouyang Bo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes swept over the people in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Who can tell me, why did so many masters suddenly emerge from the Gale Empire?"

"The strength of the Gale Empire is comparable to our Great Qin, it is absolutely impossible, and there is no ability to invest so many masters in such a war, and besides, the fighting style of these people is completely different from that of ordinary generals, but like those sect people, therefore, the last general thinks that these people should belong to the sect, or that kind of large sect, only a large sect has the ability to dispatch so many masters at one time. The Grand Commander who had reported the loss had spoken.

"Well, Brother Tian is right!"

Hearing this, another thin Great Commander also nodded, and analyzed: "There are only a few large sects in the Gale Empire, and among these large sects, I am afraid that the only ones who dare to oppose our Great Qin Empire are the Yanyang Sect and the Shadow Demon Sect, and according to the fighting style of these people, if nothing else, these people should be from the Shadow Demon Sect." ”

"Shadow Demon Sect, So, is the Gale Empire going to join forces with the Shadow Demon Sect to deal with our Great Qin? If that's the case, this will be quite unfavorable to our Great Qin!" Hearing this, the last of the three major commanders said with a worried face. Like Qingyun Sect and Yanyang Sect, this Shadow Demon Sect is also one of the five major sects in the world, and there are countless masters in the door, and, unlike the other four major sects, the disciples of the Shadow Demon Sect are especially good at the way of assassination, and they are elusive and unpredictable, if the Shadow Demon Sect really unites with the Gale Empire, there is no doubt that in this battle between the two countries, the Great Qin Empire will inevitably be completely at a disadvantage.

"Not necessarily!"

At this time, Ouyang Bo said with a cold expression: " The war between my Great Qin and the Great Wind, the forces of the sect have never intervened easily, although the Shadow Demon Sect is strong, but there is still a certain gap with our Great Qin Empire, if it is completely torn apart with our Great Qin, it will definitely not be beneficial to them, I expect that the Shadow Demon Sect should have the benefit of the Great Wind Empire, so I sent some acquired disciples to help it, otherwise, if it is really a union of the two parties, I am afraid that the appearance on the battlefield this time is not just some acquired martial artists, but innate masters. ”

"This is also true, if the Shadow Demon General Sect sent a few innate martial artists to intervene in the previous battle, then the loss of our army would not only be like this, but it would be a rout on all fronts, so it should be as Lord Dutong expected, this Shadow Demon Sect only has a little cooperation with the Gale Empire, not hand in hand. The Great Commander surnamed Na Tian nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, so, we don't have to worry too much about the intervention of the Shadow Demon Sect, the defeat of this battle is mainly because we were caught off guard by the other party, the next time, we have precautions, and this kind of thing will not happen again, the top priority is to quickly allocate a new batch of middle and low-level non-commissioned officers, those masters of the Shadow Demon Sect, although there are not many soldiers who really kill, but they are very targeted, this time, we have lost too many middle-level generals, this loss is the biggest. ”

Saying that, a flash of fierce light flashed in Ouyang Bo's eyes: "In addition, I will immediately send a messenger to present the time here to Lord Tianwuhou, and let him get rid of a group of military masters from the main camp to come to help, during this time, our army will temporarily truce, use the terrain, strengthen the defense, the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I believe that Li Zhengde will not be so unwise to attack, and when everything is ready, at that time, and then fight with one of them." ”

"What your lord said is very true, at the moment, our army can only defend according to the geographical advantage is the best policy!" the three commanders all nodded in agreement.

"By the way, our army has lost a commander this time, this vacancy is best filled as soon as possible, do you have any recommended candidates?" As he spoke, Ouyang Bo glanced at the three of them lightly. As the three commanders of the Bishan military camp second only to Ouyang Bo, the three of them naturally have a lot of say in the appointment and dismissal of high-level generals like the commander, if the three of them do not agree, even Ouyang Bo will not be able to force the decision.

"What ...... this?"

The three of them simply exchanged a look, and immediately, the great commander surnamed Natian hesitated for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "I don't know who Lord Dutong thinks is suitable?"

Being able to sit in the position of the Grand Commander, the three of them are naturally not just simple martial artists, as soon as Ouyang Bo's words came out, the three of them immediately understood that this Lord Du wanted to let his people fill the vacancy of this commander. However, it is clear that the three of them also have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, the position of commander is tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and controlling one more commander means that they can further consolidate their position and right to speak in the army, everyone has **, and the three of them are no exception, finally there is such an opportunity, but the three of them don't want to let go so easily, after all, no one wants to be subservient to others for a lifetime, isn't it?

Ouyang Bo knew the thoughts of the three of them, but on the surface, there was no way out of the ordinary, and said lightly: "To take the position of commander, not only does you need considerable martial arts strength, but also rich battlefield experience, these two points, my pro-soldier captain Hu Ming happens to have both, in terms of martial arts strength, he has reached the peak of the day after tomorrow, in terms of battlefield experience, he has followed me for many years, and he has accumulated a lot under what he has heard and seen." ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Bo turned his head and said directly to Hu Ming, the captain of the pro-soldier behind him: "Hu Ming, you have followed this seat for many years, but the strength of the peak of the day after tomorrow is only a small pro-soldier captain, and I have wronged you, now, this seat asks you, if you are asked to take the position of commander, can you have the confidence to do a good job?"

Hearing this, Hu Ming stood upright, and replied without hesitation: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have confidence!"

"Good!"

Ouyang Bo nodded with satisfaction, and then, he turned his head again and set his eyes on the three great commanders: "What do you think?"

"My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit out of order, right? According to military regulations, any position must have corresponding military merits before it can be appointed or dismissed, I believe that my lord, the captain of the personal army, has the ability to serve as the commander, but how can he take the position of commander if he has the ability but not enough military merits?" said the commander surnamed Tian with a little questioning.

"Yes, the appointment and dismissal of this position still depends on the merits of the battle!" As soon as the words fell, the other two commanders also immediately spoke.

"Humph!"

Hearing the opposition of the three of them, Ouyang Bo snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Extraordinary times are extraordinary measures, how can we be generals who stick to the rules in everything? ”

"Your Excellency is reasonable, but this position of commander is different from ordinary young generals, please think twice!" The three commanders still refused to let go easily.

"That's it!"

Ouyang Bo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: " What do you three think, I know very well, besides, this seat is not an arbitrary person, so let's do it, the so-called good use of talents, the capable live in it, tomorrow to hold a non-commissioned officer selection competition, this position of commander, including other vacant middle-level non-commissioned officers are all determined by tomorrow's non-commissioned officer selection, no matter who it is, as long as they can stand out from this selection competition, they can hold the corresponding position, as for the question of whether the combat merits are sufficient, let's wait for the end of the war between the two countries, and then look at it, if the combat achievements are not enough, and then demote according to military regulations, so, you can still have objections？”

"Lord Totsu's method is very good, and we have no objection. ”

What the three of them want is nothing more than a fair competition, and now that they have achieved their goal, they naturally have no more opinions. Moreover, Ouyang Bo was the supreme general of the Bishan Military Camp in the end, and the three of them did not dare to disobey him too much.

......

The next day, dawn broke in the east.

"The commander of the capital has decreed that a non-commissioned officer selection competition will be held at noon, and all the officers and men of the army, regardless of their combat exploits, will decide the positions of the new captain, captain, commander, general soldier, staff general, and commander according to their personal strength!" More than a dozen heralds, holding command flags, appeared in various positions in the camp and loudly announced an order.

As soon as this order came out, the whole camp was boiling in an instant. Regardless of the merits, only the strength determines the new non-commissioned officer's belonging, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the entire Bishan army does not know how many soldiers with extraordinary strength have not been promoted because of the lack of combat merits, and now, there is no need for military merits, as long as the strength is enough, they can get a higher position, how can the soldiers not be ecstatic?
