Chapter 725 Zhang Xiu has a card in his hand
Although the blue wolf army is brave and invincible. But they are limited to galloping across the plains, and once they enter the mountains and ravines, they will not be able to move an inch.
Therefore, Zhao Xing sent the Blue Wolf Army to secretly infiltrate the Northeast, the purpose was to build momentum and coercion, not to fight bloodily inch by inch, and then take the entire Northeast.
Seeing that the cold winter was coming, Zhang Xiu decided to temporarily let the blue wolf army hibernate, while concentrating on building Changchun City, and on the other hand, building a garrison fortress on the bank of Raole Water. Zhao Xing, who was in Shangdang, had already given this waterfront wharf and town a very loud name for it, called "Tongliao".
In fact, Zhao Xing was lazy this time, because this place was very close to Tongliao City, Liaoning Province in later generations, and the meaning was beautiful, so Zhao Xing came easily and named this place "Tongliao".
After asking for instructions, the Crouching Tiger Command has approved Zhang Xiu's request to recruit 10,000 soldiers from Fuyu again. This time, Zhang Xiu recruited infantry, because in the future, it would be more suitable to garrison Changchun and Tongliao in two important places.
Although Zhang Xiu himself commanded the cavalry from the beginning, not all the generals in the Blue Wolf Army were born in cavalry, such as the two brothers Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang, who followed Zhao Xing when they were in Xiatao City, and trained infantry at the beginning. Zhang Xiu asked the two brothers of the Lu family to be responsible for training more than 10,000 infantry when winter came, which could be regarded as making the best use of them.
In fact, Zhang Xiu still has a card in his hand that no one would have thought of, as long as it is played, it will definitely make people stunned.
At the beginning of spring, the 100 guys in the large class of the Crouching Tiger Youth Class collectively went home, of which 50 people followed Zhao Zhenbang to Xuzhou, and 50 people came to Youzhou, first after adapting to Xu Shu's tent for a period of time, and then all of them touched into Xiangping City in Liaodong!
When Zhao Tong took Xu Da, Zhang Hu and other half-grown children to find Zhao Hu, who was named Liu Fu, he didn't scare Zhao Hu half to death. At that time, Gongsun Dujun was fighting with the Karasuma and Goguryeo people, and there was a shortage of young and strong soldiers in the military camp.
After a lot of effort, after finally properly arranging the fifty boys, Zhao Hu received the top-secret information that the Blue Wolf Army had entered the Yu Kingdom. After another period of time, Zhang Xiu led the army south to "Tea Ah Chong", and Zhao Hu, who was tossed by the boys, quickly got in touch with Zhang Xiu, and sent these troublemakers to Changchun through various means.
Zhao Hu saw that the little tiger team members had a headache, but Zhang Xiu was not afraid. He was short of manpower now, and the arrival of this group of half-grown children was too timely.
Although this group of team members lacks the experience of battlefield fighting, and because they are still in the stage of growing their bodies, their martial arts have not been completed, and they have not learned the art of war and tactics to the point of perfection, so they are not suitable for serving as generals at the grassroots level, but they are still like baby bumps in Zhang Xiu's eyes.
The more than 10,000 soldiers who are about to complete the recruitment, according to the establishment of a company of 100 people, then at least more than 100 officers from low to high, and officers above the regimental level can be selected from the battalion-level officers of the Blue Wolf Army, but further down there is a shortage of command personnel. Let the grassroots soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army take this group of recruits to play with their lives, they must not say a word, but if they are allowed to systematically train this group of surplus soldiers, it will really be a duck to the shelf.
Therefore, after Zhang Xiu sent someone to safely receive Zhao Tong and his fifty team members, he immediately arranged many tasks for everyone.
First of all, Zhang Xiu appointed Zhao Yun's eldest son, Zhao Tong, and Xu Huang's eldest son, Xu Da, as the lieutenants of Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang to assist in handling the daily affairs of the 10,000 new army and managing the remaining members assigned to the grassroots level; Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu was appointed to Zang Ba's command to assist in the training of the military dog unit; and the remaining 47 members were appointed as Chinese instructors and assistants to the grassroots companies to assist the grassroots officers who could not read a few characters in training the remaining soldiers.
At the beginning, Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang didn't have any hope at all for the two half-grown sons who were not all hairy and not grown by Zhang Xiu's side, but because Zhao Tong and Xu Da were too powerful, they politely offered the two as ancestors. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tong and Xu Da were not fuel-efficient lamps, and after they silently investigated and analyzed the entire recruit training work, when Zhang Xiu came to inspect, in front of Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, they listed many problems in the recruit training, which made Er Lu Zhen blush.
Since they found out that the boys in the juvenile class did have real materials, Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang let them do it, and they became super dads who were responsible for logistics scheduling from the position of the protagonist behind the scenes.
Although the youngsters lack the experience of serving as soldiers at the grassroots level, they do not lack enthusiasm and the spirit of enduring hardships. Under the leadership of Zhao Tong and Xu Da, everyone tried to transform the knowledge they had mastered in the academy into actual training. When encountering insurmountable difficulties, everyone gathered together to analyze and discuss, and if it was too tricky and troublesome, they went to consult Zhang Xiu, Zang Ba, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang and other senior generals.
The Fuyu soldiers, who are honest and well-behaved by nature, had some ideas about Zhang Xiu's arrangement of this group of baby soldiers to train themselves at first, but when they learned the endless methods and whimsy of the child soldiers, they found that the dolls were really not simple, so they accepted the training of the "little instructors" in a regular manner.
Although the Fuyu soldiers recruited by the Blue Wolf Army are all sturdy young people selected from Fuyu's country, and they are also good hunters with kung fu and skills immediately, they have a deeper understanding of the power of the child soldiers when they see the "little instructors" playing wonderful boxing skills, using unpredictable swords, guns, swords, halberds, and shooting arrows that are not inferior.
As a result, there was such a scene in the place where 10,000 recruits were stationed: During the day, the young instructors instructed the soldiers on how to line up, how to change the formation, how to correctly use standard weapons, how to build fortifications, and how to prevent the enemy's surprise attacks, sneak attacks, night attacks, and so on; at night, the young instructors taught the soldiers in the camp to understand Chinese characters and learn to sing the "three major disciplines, eight points of attention" and the military song of the blue wolf army.
As for Zhang Hu, who was fortunate enough to participate in the training of military dog troops, although he lacked the experience of training soldiers himself, he was obsessed with training military dogs. After gaining an in-depth understanding of the role of military dogs, Zhang Hu felt that if military dogs were used properly, they could play a role in directly influencing the direction of the battle.
A group of teenagers full of enthusiasm and passion have caught up with the surging good times, they are growing up at a rapid pace, and it will not be long before they will take on the real responsibility.
