Chapter 136: Joining the Army
The orderly cavalry swept across the plain, hooves thundering, rolling up yellow sand, this cavalry that could keep pace during the gallop was undoubtedly a rare elite.
With a rapid whistling, the galloping cavalry slowed down, and in a short time switched from galloping to trot, although there was a small mess in the process, but it quickly calmed down.
But it was not long before the Lord gave the order to speed again, and after running for miles, he slowed down again...... Several times like this, many people in the team have left the queue, but fortunately they are not charging with guns at this time, otherwise they may be stabbed by their comrades behind them!
The commander did not comment or punish such mistakes, but those who made them felt how uncoordinated their actions were, and they blushed and tried not to make mistakes in the rest of the march, so that the mistakes became fewer and fewer.
"What a dismount!" A young man who wore the same black armor as other soldiers but had a different temperament secretly sighed, this trip was not a rush march, and this place was also far from the destination, why did he suddenly gallop and stop? It was nothing more than a test of the soldiers' riding skills and tacit understanding, as an elite army that had been running in for a long time, there was no need to carry out this kind of test, and it was actually aimed at outsiders who had just joined the army.
Ling Qingyun is an outsider, he was not intimidated by this dismount, but he really admired the military discipline and tacit understanding of this army, all the way the army was solemn and orderly, and the whole army showed an extraordinary aura of slaughter, placed in his own house, only the personal guards of the eldest brother and father could be compared with such elites.
This army is the cavalry of the four major armies of Nanming Academy. Yes, as a public-level force, Nanming Academy also has its own army, which is used to maintain order, defend the academy, and defend the country at critical moments.
There are four major armies in Nanming College, namely guns, horses, swords, and crossbows, each army has 10,000 soldiers, a total of 40,000 people, which is a rather special military system, which has been criticized for being too single, and is really vulnerable to battle, but so far the four armies of Nanming have not suffered a major setback.
In terms of the strength and status of several Tianxing powerhouses and public-level colleges, 40,000 troops are by no means too much, not to mention that it is more than enough to increase the strength of the army tenfold and five times to 200,000, but Nanming Academy has always kept its strength at 40,000 to show that it has no ambition to compete for hegemony, and uses most of its resources for education, which is why the Dawu Dynasty and all forces are willing to support Nanming Academy with confidence.
Even so, Nanming Academy still understands that strength is proportional to the right to speak, so the 40,000 troops have been built into elite, the strength of the regular army of the Qinghe Continent is a thousand forging realm, but the strength of the Nanming army is a thousand forging six, a whole half of the realm, and its equipment is also a level higher than that of ordinary troops, and there is also a college Mr. to teach soldiers to practice and martial arts, famous generals who have participated in the war to train instructors in battle formations, and some Nanming students have joined the army...... Under such circumstances, the 40,000 troops of Nanming Academy are all elite, and their actual combat strength will never be weaker than the normal 100,000 army.
The content of the training that Ling Qingyun participated in at this time was to be incorporated into the total number of 2,000 cavalry and go to Jiangzhou to fight the Huangguwala rebellion of the Jing clan in Pingshan.
"Hmph, this general is too disagreeable, knowing that we are new here and deliberately embarrassing us!" After camping, the Nanming students who participated in the training gathered together, and some people complained in a low voice, how could they find out the rhythm of the march when they had just joined? For other soldiers, following orders has long been as accustomed to drinking water and eating, but for them, they must quickly judge and change the rhythm, fortunately, Nanming students' riding skills are not bad, and the reaction ability of Shilujing is also better than ordinary people, so there is no greater ugliness.
"Although this is a dismount, it can be regarded as training us, don't you see that everyone's tacit understanding has improved?" A young man who was angry with the book smiled: "Half of the people have made mistakes today, Lao Zhou, don't worry too much." ”
"Speaking of which, the opponent of this training is what Huangguwala of the Shanjing Clan, what kind of strange name is this?" someone wondered.
"Yes, this name is indeed strange, besides, why did our academy send troops to quell the chaos in Jiangzhou?" another teenager also wondered.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the young man who was aware of the matter stood up and explained: "The Shanjing tribe is a mountain tribe, and the cultural customs, naming habits are different from ours, and the Guwara is transliterated from their 'mountain language' to 'river language', so it seems strange, as for the surname Huang, he found it casually from our hundred family names, and the Shanjing people do not have a surname." ”
"I see!" Many people suddenly realized that the Qinghe Continent can be divided into four languages: River Language, Mountain Language, Sea Language, and Di Language, but for most people, the river language used in their life is the river language originating from the Qinghe River Valley, so they naturally don't know the mystery of this translation.
"As for why we want our academy to suppress the rebellion, we have to start from the reason for this matter, the situation in Jiangzhou, etc......" the young man continued.
The Shanjing tribe is a people living in the mountains of Jiangzhou, this tribe has a fierce temperament, brave in battle, once famous as a mercenary, just a month ago, the elder of the Shanjing tribe Huang Guwala set off a rebellion, but was defeated by the patriarch of the Shanjing tribe and led 3,000 remnants to escape from the mountains, and gathered all kinds of bandits, rogues formed a force that ravaged Jiangzhou.
Originally, the major forces in Jiangzhou had the strength to exterminate this group of rogues, but that Huangguwala was extremely clever to drill into the junction of several major forces, that place was quite controversial, and the Huangguwala from here was not considered to provoke any force, and whoever sent troops to recruit might even be regarded as violating their own territory by other forces, because the major forces were too troublesome, and let this group of bandits entrench in the mountains, no one would send troops to exterminate them.
Jiangzhou Prefecture Pastor felt a big headache for this, the state capital is weak, the government army is only 20,000 people, in the case of ensuring the defense of the state city, the troops that can be squeezed out are not only unable to suppress the bandits, but it is very likely to be suppressed by the bandits, in this case, Jiangzhou has to ask for help from abroad, and the neutral Nanming Academy will take over this important task.
After hearing the ins and outs of this knowledgeable young man, a group of people with less knowledge were dumbfounded, only to know that there are so many mysteries in sending out a soldier, some people sighed that they read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, some people angrily scolded the Jiangzhou forces for only caring about interests and unwilling to suppress bandits, some people wondered whether the 2,000 cavalry could defeat the tens of thousands of horses of Huangguwala, and some people didn't believe that the power of the imperial court in Jiangzhou was so weak that they had to confirm it with their own eyes.
But more teenagers already knew the situation, and they didn't react much to it, and the knowledgeable teenager Zhong Mingsong sat down with a smile, and he also made a good relationship with this explanation, which was enough.
Ling Qingyun sat on the side and thought alone, but some people obviously didn't want to let him go.
"Ling Qingyun, this time it's a military battle, and your swordsmanship won't be useful. Lin Qiancheng walked over, looking as unruly as ever: "This victory will definitely belong to us." ”
Not necessarily. Ling Qingyun got up and looked directly at Lin Qiancheng, his face full of calmness.
"You just have a hard mouth!" Lin Qiancheng shrugged his shoulders and left, seeing that the expression was clearly settled in this battle.
According to the requirements of the college, non-emergency can only use the standard weapons issued by the army and not use their own weapons, otherwise the combat merits will be treated as invalid and even reversed, this regulation ensures that students can better cooperate with the military formation, learn to unite and cooperate, and obey the command, which is the purpose of this experience. In this way, Ling Qingyun's sword has become an ornament, in Lin Qiancheng's eyes, this regulation naturally restricts the play of Ling Qingyun, who is the best at swordsmanship, and as a physical cultivator, he has a big advantage, isn't it a matter of course?
Ling Qingyun understood Lin Qiancheng's thoughts and admitted the truth, but his ability would not be wasted because of this, and the battle situation was changing rapidly, and the outcome could be determined at this time?
The rules set by the three community masters for this contest are that each club selects ten people from the participants as representatives, and adds the total score obtained by these ten people in this experience as the results of each club, so as to divide the superior and divide the contribution value of the Qinglong Mountain treasure. In addition, these ten people must be students who have participated in the training of Qinglong Mountain, otherwise it will have too much impact on Ji Le, a powerful senior.
In this way, the Black Feather Pavilion undoubtedly has an advantage, they have Lin Qiancheng and Chu Yulong on their side, but there is only Ling Qingyun in the Golden Bell Palace, even if he retreats from the sword in Qinglong Mountain, he can't change the fact that this contest is not optimistic.
"This is a conflict of interests, but also a battle of will. Ling Qingyun silently thought, the major associations arguing for a little interest seemed to many people to be too petty, but he understood that this kind of controversy was based on the interests of the members, and it was also a comprehensive contest to position the strength of the three major associations.
A fierce contest may only increase the share from 30% to 30% or 20% or reduce it to 20% and a half, but this contest is crucial for the three major associations, and the winner will win this year's jackpot.
It was precisely for this reason that the hall master of the Golden Bell Palace, who had seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, finally showed up and sincerely and solemnly entrusted Ling Qingyun and the others with an important task, and Ling Qingyun also solemnly accepted this task.
To be honest, this hall master named Zhong Minghan seemed to be difficult to be regarded as a person as his name, Ling Qingyun's first impression when he saw him was that he was a cream student, and even heard that the private matter that prevented him from attending the school year was actually a romantic debt...... In this regard, Ling Qingyun was worried about whether Zhong Minghan would be able to handle the affairs of the club well, but unexpectedly, this very playboy-style hall master did show enough ability and attitude in official affairs, which made Ling Qingyun slightly change his opinion of this person.
"Don't worry, although the Black Feather Pavilion is stronger, we also have advantages that they can't match. Zhong Mingsong came over at this time and said confidently.
"What advantages?" said Ling Qingyun with a smile.
"That's unity!" Zhong Mingsong solemnly said: "Our Admiralty Hall helps each other, unity is not just a slogan, but also a habit, and this habit will also be brought to the army, and it will play an important role in the military formation combat that emphasizes teamwork - even if we can't kill more enemies, it can make us deduct fewer points! You can recall, in the march just now, was the number of mistakes in our Admiralty Hall much less than that of the Black Feather Pavilion and the Purple Cloud Palace?"
"That's true. Ling Qingyun's eyes lit up, Zhong Mingsong was right, the tradition of solidarity and mutual assistance in the Golden Feather Hall actually came in handy at this time, it seems that although the Black Feather Pavilion has a strong general, this side is also fully capable of competing with it!
"In addition, although he is not talented, the marksmanship he has learned can be used in military formations. Zhong Mingsong smiled slightly, he is also a member of Tianjiao, and he has the confidence to compete with Lin Qiancheng and Chu Yulong when he puts on the most convenient weapon!
"Speaking of the 'emergency moment' may not come, Lin Qiancheng and Chu Yulong's weapons are heavy, and the war horses are difficult to carry and have not been carried, which is another great opportunity for us. Ling Qingyun touched the scabbard tied around his waist and smiled slyly.
"Exactly!" Zhong Mingsong showed the same smile, and the two of them high-fived, both full of confidence in the next battle.
At this moment, a powerful drum beat sounded, along with the order that spread throughout the army.
"The recruits will return to their respective teams and be reviewed by the general!"
