Chapter 165: On the Eve of the Expedition

Next to a town outside of Spring City, a subordinate city of Heavenly Spirit City, on an empty plain, there was now an army stationed here. The barracks are more than ten miles in radius, and from a distance, there are countless military tents in the camp, and the scale is no less than that of Qingling at the beginning.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that on the flags erected everywhere in the camp, among the patterns on a white background, a yellow "wind" is very eye-catching. This is where the reorganized Wind Spirit Legion is stationed.

It has been more than two months since the reorganization of Fengling, and most of the high-ranking generals among them have been transferred here from other units or from Tianling and local generals, and a few have been newly selected and promoted. Most of the middle and low-level soldiers are newcomers, such as He Zhang and Xing Xuan, who were directly transferred from Lushen Island to Fengling, belong to these ranges. In addition, there are a few old Wind Spirit Sects who escaped from Spirit Heart City, and these are basically at the middle level, and there are not many of them.

Now that the establishment of the wind spirit has been basically completed, because there is no time to train recruits, the sergeants and soldiers of the army are basically selected from the garrisons in various parts of Dongling, and the recruited recruits are also assigned to various places for training.

Although the wind spirit is pieced together by various forces, it is still mostly well-trained soldiers, and after two months of running-in, it has met the requirements of the expedition, and Long Feng has also submitted an application to the military department two days ago, just waiting for the heavenly spirit to give a reply, then pull out the camp and start westward.

At this time, at the north gate of the barracks, a young man in a battle robe led several lieutenant generals and commanders were waiting here. In front of the crowd, the ground was dusty, and a team of men and horses was rushing towards it.

A middle-aged man who walked to the nearest place came to the young man in Yingkou, saluted him and said, "Luo is late, there is a leader of Lao Long." ”

The person standing at the door was Long Feng, and he also saluted and replied, "Where is it, Lord Luo has worked tirelessly to deliver the message from the heavenly spirit, and Long should treat him with courtesy." After a brief meeting etiquette, Long Feng stretched out his hand to the camp behind him, "Lord Luo, please follow me to the main tent of the camp to discuss the military." ”

The two walked side by side, entered the camp, and headed towards the central main tent.

"Commander Long, in addition to conveying the orders of the military department, I also shoulder the responsibility of reviewing the Wind Spirit Legion this time, after all, the battle is different from other things, and it is related to the lives of countless people and the survival of our own clan. At the time of my arrival, the Spirit King specially instructed that only when the Wind Spirit Legion fully restored its former majesty could it set out for Xiling, otherwise, even if there were many reasons, it would not be released. As the two of them walked towards the camp, Lord Luo began to speak.

"Lord Luo, please rest assured, the wind spirits are different from the local forces, they are all elite soldiers, and after two months of adjustment, their morale has basically recovered. Otherwise, I would not have taken the liberty of applying to the military department. Long Feng said and stretched out his hand to the surroundings, "Lord Luo has already come to the camp, naturally I don't need to say more, just go and see it in person, the big and small teams around here are up to you to choose and review." ”

Wherever they passed, the soldiers standing guard or the soldiers who were being trained saluted them respectfully, and they both nodded in response.

Lord Luo laughed, "The ability of the dragon leader, Luo is naturally trustworthy, just look at the orderly fire spirit can see it." It's just that this time the stakes are high, and I'm here on orders, so that's all I can do. ”

"No problem, then let's invite Lord Luo to the school first. Saying that, Long Feng said to a general beside him, "You quickly go and count the ten formations of people nearby, and immediately go to the north campus to accept the test of Lord Luo." ”

The "array" is the organizational unit in the army, and the number of non-commissioned officers in a formation varies from about 400 to 1,000 depending on the size. Long Feng's subordinates called ten formations of men and horses, a total of about a few thousand soldiers, although the total number of the Wind Spirit Legion after the reorganization was much smaller than before, but this number only accounted for about five percent of the entire Wind Spirit army. Even so, it takes a lot of time to review ten teams of hundreds of people.

The work of reviewing the army in the north camp continued, and in the west corner of the camp, a small group of non-commissioned officers was practicing here. The leader was a tall man, and at this time he shouted to the queue in front of him: "The leaders of the houses are in line, and take their respective teams to the periphery to rest for a while." Then Xing Xuan and Xuan Yang came to me for a while. ”

This person ordered, and four people walked out of the team, one of whom was Xing Xuan. The "house" is also the military establishment, and it is the lowest level of the unit, and there are at most eight people in a house. After Xing Xuan joined Feng Ling, he was appointed as the head of the first house, and he was also the youngest general in the military camp.

The four of them divided the teams into four teams and took their respective teams to the side. After that, Xing Xuan and the man named Xuan Yang came to the big man's side.

"Captain Wu, what are you looking for with the two of us?" asked Xuan Yang.

The tall man replied, "That's right, the residence you applied for earlier has been approved." After today's training, you can go there and have a look, right next to the town. However, this house does not belong to you now, it is just a temporary place for you, and if you make military achievements in the future, or if you are promoted to the rank of fourth, you can really get it. However, if there is a serious violation of military discipline, the government will immediately revoke the right of residence, and if the performance is mediocre within two years, the right to residence will also be lost. Do you understand?"

In the military, anyone with military rank has the right to apply for housing, but whether or not they can obtain it depends on the individual's circumstances. Xing Xuan's family lived deep in the mountains, and his family was crammed into a simple thatched hut, and the living conditions were also very poor, so his application was approved. However, due to his low rank, the government only allocated him a small house, although in this way, he was already very satisfied.

After hearing this, Xing Xuan and Yu Yang on the side suddenly cheered excitedly. The tall captain immediately shouted to stop, "Don't shout what you are doing! This is in the barracks, what is it like to shout like this." ”

The two were startled by Captain Wu's shouting and scolding, and instantly calmed down, lowered their heads and remained silent. Seeing that the two of them were honest, Wu Chang said again: "You have received funding from the government, you should know how to be grateful and serve the government." It is estimated that it will not be long before we will go to Xiling, I hope you can actively charge in the first battle, establish your achievements, and of course, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Okay, that's it, we're going to train with the rest of the queue in a while, so let's all go and rest now. ”

The two responded and left the place honestly. Xuan Yang and Xing Xuan are both the head of the house, and the relationship between the two is at the same level, they are both from poor people, and they have a lot of contacts with each other on weekdays, so the relationship is naturally good. The two discussed as they walked, and agreed to wait for the end of today's military training, and then go to Quanhua Town on the edge of the barracks to see the residence assigned to them by the government.

Time flew by, and by the end of the evening, everyone had finished their day's training. As soon as the team disbanded, Xing Xuan heard someone shouting to him not far away.

When he turned his head, he saw that it was none other than Ai Xin, who had come to the Wind Spirit with him. Aishin is also the head of the house like himself, but the two of them are not in the same formation, so they are not together during daily training.

"Aixin, you're here, just in time, I have good news for you. Seeing Ai Xin coming, Xing Xuan quickly greeted him.

"Good news? It shouldn't be an exceptional promotion for various reasons, right?" Ai Xin saw Xing Xuan with a smile on his face, and he didn't look like a person at all after training, and he was also very puzzled in his heart.

"No, how can there be so many reasons!" Xing Xuan glanced at him, "Let me tell you, didn't I mention to you a few days ago that I had applied for a residence to my superiors? In the future, I must work harder to let myself have a house that truly belongs to me, and then bring my father and mother to live here. ”

"What should I do, it turned out to be this, but this is also very good, if you can get the merits of the war and get the ownership of the house, then you can settle in the Heavenly Spirit. Aixin's puzzled expression instantly regained its calm.

Xing Xuan smiled, "By the way, did you come to me for something, I've been busy training lately, and we haven't seen each other for five or six days." ”

"Can't you come if you're okay? You're too prejudiced against me, aren't you?" Ai Xin leaned closer to Xing Xuan and lowered his voice, "Our formation was selected to participate in the review today, do you know who conducted the review on us?"

Hearing this, Xing Xuan also lowered his voice, pretending to ask mysteriously, "Who is it?"

"The deputy minister of the military department, Lord Luo Youtingluo. Aisin announced the answer.

"Luo Youting!" Xing Xuan said in a heavy tone, word by word, "I don't know!"

Ai Xin glanced at Xing Xuan with disdain, and then explained: "Luo Youting, the second-in-command of the military department, speaks quite weightily in the military department, and the Spirit King will often ask him for advice in military affairs. He is on an equal footing with our Dragon Commander in terms of status, and today's troop review was commented on by the two of them. ”

Xing Xuan's expression was solemn, "Then what is he doing here?"

"Okay, then the point is here!" Ai Xin lowered his voice again, "If Luo Youting is satisfied with this review, then in less than ten days, we will set out to fight, open the way to Xiling, and go to the front line!"

"What, so soon, I just got my own house through the application, and I'm about to leave here before I have carefully cleaned up?" Xing Xuan looked displeased.

"Don't worry, there's another point. Recently, I got an important piece of news, Qing Ling has passed through the Lingxin region, arrived at Xiling, and confronted the demon army's northern route army. The two sides fought several times, and no one got any benefits, and now the demons turned to attack and defensive, and the two sides froze together. Saying that, Ai Xin's expression suddenly became serious, "And the demon army's southern route army is still like a bamboo, continuing to advance eastward. After capturing Changling, it broke three cities in a row, and it was getting closer and closer to Baichun. ”

"The northern offensive has been taken over by Qing Ling, and the demon southern route army is so fierce that it seems that we are going to fight against it. This is indeed a difficult problem, and the new group of wind spirits has encountered a strong opponent. Xing Xuan's expression also became serious at the same time.

"For us, there's only one problem, but for you, there's another problem. As soon as Ai Xin said this, Xing Xuan stared at him with that puzzled gaze again, "While the army of the Demon South Road is approaching Baichun, don't forget that it is also close to Dalan, your home can be there, your parents can also be there, if the wind spirit goes out a little later, with the current attack speed of the other party, it won't be long before you can take the Dalan region." ”

Ai Xin's words woke up Xing Xuan, he just thought it was too early to set out in ten days, and now he was eager to set off immediately. "That's right, according to this offensive, it won't be long before Darlan is in danger. It seems that we must hurry to Xiling to block the opponent's attack. ”

Xing Xuan spoke, his eyes drifted to the side indiscriminately, and he said to himself: "Even if you can't stop their attack, at least... At least I'm going to get my dad and mother out of the small village of Pinsana first......"
