There are three Qi armies stationed in Gaoyuan City, namely the Rui Shi Battalion, the Fei Yu Battalion and the personal guard battalion directly under Xiao Wangzhi, of which the garrison of the Rui Shi Battalion is located in an open area in the north city.

In the bitter battle on the Leze Plain, the losses of the Ruishi Battalion infantry were not large, and after the battle, more than 100 people were killed and more than 200 were wounded, of which more than 70% were minor injuries that could be healed.

This is because the timing of the appearance of the infantry army is very critical, almost attacking the Jing army, which has been fighting for a long time, in its heyday, and completely occupying the active advantage.

The losses of the 3,000 cavalry under the command of Li Chengen were slightly heavier, mainly because of the first cavalry duel, they followed the 2,000 cavalry led by Lu Shen and Jing Jiang Yawuta in a hard-fought head-to-head duel.

Although after Lu Shen personally killed Yawuta, the cavalry of the Jing army began to show signs of dispersion, but in the early collision, the Ruishi battalion also suffered some casualties.

According to the final statistics, nearly 300 of the 3,000 cavalry were killed and more than 200 were wounded.

In short, after the Battle of Razor, the number of soldiers in the Rui Shi Battalion is currently more than 5,300 people.

After several major battles, as well as a period of recuperation, this army built by Lu Shen with all his heart and soul has shown the trend of a tiger.

On the school field, the soldiers practiced meticulously, even in wartime, they maintained the frequency of training every two days, and Lu Shen's admonition of "sweating more on the school and bleeding less on the battlefield" has long been deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow.

Lu Shen stood on the edge of the school field and watched quietly.

It wasn't until the sun was receding and the daily drills of the various departments were over one after another that he said to his own soldiers behind him: "The whole army is assembled in formation." ”

"Obey!"

The soldiers bowed their heads and then ran quickly to deliver orders to the generals of each team.

From the beginning of the formation of the Rui Shi Battalion, the formation of the queue is the top priority of the training course, the individual ability of the soldiers determines the upper limit in the fight, and the stability of the collective can determine the lower limit in the face of battle, so the Rui Shi Battalion is particularly outstanding in this regard.

In the war of this era, if an army can maintain its composure and not panic in a static confrontation, it has a great chance of winning, and if it can still maintain the stability of the formation while moving, then it is enough to be called an elite division.

Whether it was the spear formation in Yongquan Pass advancing step by step, or the infantry army forming a formation in the Razor Plain to block the retreat of the Jing army, and the cavalry always being able to launch a group charge in the confrontation with the Jing army's cavalry, Lu Shen's efforts were perfectly rewarded.

After the military order was delivered, in less than half a burnt of incense, more than 5,000 people from the Ruishi Battalion lined up on the school ground.

The formation is neat, the military appearance is strictly ordered, and the awe-inspiring and murderous atmosphere is permeated.

Lu Shen stepped onto the earthen platform on the north side, his eyes sweeping over the generals standing in front of the queue one by one.

The two captains, Li Chengen and Bao An, became more and more mature and steady, and Ye Jitang, Li Tangbin, Kang Junli and Liu Yin, the four generals who led hundreds of troops, led the troops to fight bravely, and naturally entered Lu Shen's sight.

In addition, there are several team members who have emerged at a young age, and they will also be promoted by Lu Shen in the near future.

Whether it is a general or a soldier, at this moment, he is not dissatisfied and looks at Lu Shen on the earthen platform with reverence.

In the solemn momentum, Lu Shen's angry voice spread all around the school.

"In the battle of the Razor Plains, our army defeated more than 20,000 people of the main force of the Jing army, this is an unprecedented victory, each of you will receive a full reward, and no one will embezzle your exploits! But now is not the time to rejoice, there are some of our comrades who have left us forever and cannot share the joy of victory with us, and we must all remember their efforts! ”

Lu Shen would not deliberately put on an approachable posture in front of the soldiers, because man is an extremely complex creature, especially a group like the army, which pays attention to orders and prohibitions, and if it is too gentle, it will lose its majesty.

He was able to provide the soldiers with good salaries and fine armor, full and timely salaries, and the concept of literacy, illiteracy, and uniformity among officers and soldiers in the Sharp Soldiers' Battalion, which was enough to make everyone respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

What's more, his opening remarks at this moment are in memory of those comrades who died in battle.

From Li Chengen onwards, everyone pursed their lips and looked solemn.

"Each of the brothers who died in battle received a hundred taels of silver, and I promised that the money would go to his family. This is the court's pension, but you are soldiers who were born and died with me, so I will take care of the relatives of each of the fallen brothers, raise their old and young, and ensure that they will not have worries. If you break this oath, it will be like this sword! ”

Under the gaze of more than 5,000 people, Lu Shen took a waist knife from the hands of his own soldiers, raised the waist knife with his right hand, and slapped it with a vertical palm with his left hand.

The waist knife was broken in two.

Li Chengen and Bao An glanced at each other, and immediately roared angrily: "I am willing to die for the captain!" ”

More than 5,000 people blushed at the same time and shouted: "I am willing to die for the captain!" ”

No one doubted the authenticity of Lu Shen's words, because Lu Shen had never deliberately concealed his origins, and some of these five thousand people had a constant relationship with the Lu family.

They all knew very well that the Lu family's business was all over Huaizhou, and if they died on the battlefield, their families could directly enter the business and workshop to work, or use the pension money to buy fertile land and take refuge in the name of the Lu family.

This is not just a matter of money, whether it is to help the Lu family do things or to be self-reliant under the care of the Lu family, their families can live with dignity and security.

Lu Shen raised his hand and pressed it weakly, and continued: "If any of you are disabled on the battlefield, don't worry and despair, even if the injury makes you unable to stay in the army, I will arrange for you to enter the Lu family business as a guard, I believe that after you have passed the test of the battlefield, you will definitely be able to do this job." ”

Hearing this, the hearts of the soldiers on the school field have been filled with emotion.

They are not young people who have never seen the world, they have no lack of understanding of the army in this era, and they know how rare it is to meet a master like Lu Shen.

does not withhold military salaries, does not act as prestige, does not engage in specialization, and the army should be treated with food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is no difference between generals and non-commissioned officers, and Lu Shen can also guarantee their future.

If it weren't for their own experience, they would never have believed that there would be such an army in this world.

Although Lu Shen has carried out literacy education in the Ruishi camp, it is still limited to the most basic stage, and many people have not heard words similar to "treat me as a national soldier, and I will repay it as a national soldier", but it does not prevent them from having similar thoughts in their hearts at this moment.

"The battle of the Northern Expedition has reached the final stage, and then our Rui Shi battalion still has to bear the most arduous responsibility for tackling fortifications, today I want to ask you, do you have the confidence to sweep the battlefield with me, defeat Ruyin City, and recover Dongyang Road?!"

Lu Shen suddenly raised his tone, and his voice shook the four fields.

"Yes!"

The whole army shouted in unison, straight into the sky.

"Good, disband!"

Lu Shen gave the order neatly and neatly, without the slightest drag.

The generals led their troops back, Lu Shen walked down the earth platform, and a personal soldier ran quickly and played: "Captain Yudu, Master Su of the Huaizhou Inspection School of the Weaving Department is asking to see you outside the camp." ”

Su Yunqing is here?

Lu Shen's heart moved slightly, and he said without changing his face: "Please ask him to come to the room to see you." ”

"Obey!"

The soldiers took the order and left.

After a while, Lu Shen saw Su Yunqing in the duty room, the two sat opposite each other, and quietly retreated after serving tea to the soldiers.

"That's something that Mistress Lausu is bothered about."

Lu Shen got straight to the point, although he was very relieved to knock over Ji Ximing with a punch in front of the Assassin's Mansion at that time, but after all, the other party was a high-ranking official of the Warp Weaving Division, I am afraid that this kind of thing has not happened in the history of the dynasty, and if the imperial court is investigated, it can be big or small.

Su Yunqing stayed in Taixing Mansion for a few days, obviously helping Lu Shen clean up the mess.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Captain Lu, this matter should be fine, Yao Tingshi and I will help you say something in the recital, plus Ji Ti is making his own opinion, Qin Tiju will definitely mediate from it, and I think His Majesty will temporarily suppress it." It's just that your angry appearance at that time was really scary, and I was afraid that you would kill Ji Tidian with one sword. ”

When he said this, Su Yunqing's mood was actually a little complicated.

Once upon a time, the young man in front of him needed his care to get out of danger.

Now that just two years have passed, he has grown into a general in the army, no matter his official position, title or confidence, he is not weak in front of him, not to mention the thousands of tigers in this camp who respect him, and he can feel the murderous aura outside the camp.

And Lu Shen also had a jade medal in his hand, which was a privilege that even he didn't know.

Lu Shen was so keen, he immediately noticed the emotional changes of this Huaizhou inspector, and said with a smile: "When I was in Guangling, the adults took care of me a lot, and now I owe the adults a favor, and there will always be a time to repay in the future." ”

Su Yunqing ironed a lot in his heart, and said heartily: "It's serious, this is my duty, how dare I talk about human feelings." I hurriedly asked to see him today because there was a military message from Heluo City, and Governor Xiao asked me to forward it to Captain Lu. ”

Lu Shen sat down and said, "Please speak." ”

Su Yunqing said slowly: "After the defeat of the Jing army in the Leize Plain, the Jing army retreated to Teng County in the northwest, and at this time, Qing Yugong's son Qing Yuzhong led five thousand horsemen south to reach Heluo. According to our inference, Qing Yu Zhongwang will have full command of all Jing troops in the territory of Pseudo-Yan, and the Yan army will also be under his jurisdiction. ”

"Qingyu Zhongwang?"

Lu Shen's tone was steady and he asked, "What is this person's ability?" ”

Su Yunqing introduced with a solemn expression: "Qing Yuzhong Wang is the eldest son of Qing Yugong, and he has been taken by Qing Yugong to teach the art of war and martial arts since he was a child. He is 28 years old this year, has 11 years of military experience, and has both the skill of planning and the ability to lead. In the war of the Jing Dynasty's annexation of Zhao last year, Qing Yu Zhongwang has experienced more than ten battles, and his achievements should not be underestimated. ”

"It seems that Qing Yugong's bottom line is to abandon Dongyang Road, and our army is not allowed to go any further."

Lu Shen muttered to himself softly, a contemplative look between his eyebrows.

Su Yunqing held the tea cup and waited quietly.

There are also in the evening.
