Chapter 207: School Field
"A thousand people?" Ren Yue asked with some surprise after hearing this, "When did you recruit so many people?"
"Didn't you know? Didn't you say that I had recruited a lot of people?" asked Lin Xiqi.
"What do I know?" Renyue said angrily, "I know that you recruited a lot of people, but the specific number of people is known? I thought you just recruited a few hundred more people." ”
"About a thousand. Lin Xiqi laughed and said, "Accident?"
"An accident is an accident, but when a large army fights, it is not reliable to rely on numbers alone. Renyue said.
"That's why you came with me to see what happened to those people. I still believe in Hong Shangrong. Lin Xiqi said.
"Is that the hundred?" asked Renyue.
"Yes, it's him, he has a set of commanders. Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "Let's go, hearing is false, seeing is believing." ”
Hong Shangrong had already been waiting outside the barracks, and Chen Changjie had already sent someone to inform him.
"I've seen adults. Hong Shangrong saluted.
"Lord Hong, don't be polite, it's up to you next. Lin Xiqi said.
"My lord, I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years. Adults will never be disappointed. Hong Shangrong shouted.
It has indeed been more than ten years, and since the last defeat of the Shitan River, Hong Shangrong has been relegated here.
Here, even if he has military talent, he has no soldiers and no food, he can't do anything, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
As a soldier in the army, Hong Shangrong wants to fight on the battlefield, die on the battlefield, and leave his name for posterity, instead of dying here.
Now that Lin Xiqi has given him this opportunity, his gratitude to Lin Xiqi naturally does not need to be said.
"Ten years of silence, I hope your sword is still sharp, if not better. Lin Xiqi said.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, I have never dared to slack off. Your Excellency, please, please review the soldiers under your command. Hong Shangrong said.
"Then let's see and see, shall we?" Lin Xiqi turned his head and glanced at Renyue and Chen Changjie.
"Then I really want to see it. Renyue smiled.
Although Hong Shangrong didn't know Renyue, since he was personally brought by Lin Xiqi, he should be his own person.
Lin Xiqi and the three of them, under the leadership of Hong Shangrong, soon came to the school field of the military camp, which had already been lined up and divided into ten phalanxes.
After Renyue saw this scene, his face couldn't help but show surprise.
The thousand people that Lin Xiqi said just now are really not bragging.
There are almost 100 people in each phalanx here.
If you want to rely on the number of people alone, Renyue won't care too much.
A rabble of a thousand people, what's the use?
Even if it's 10,000 people, it's all for nothing.
But now, Renyue can clearly feel the aura here, which is a fierce aura.
The aura exuded by these thousands of people condensed on the school field, which is a kind of breathtaking military might.
Military prestige can only be possessed by a strong army.
These soldiers are fearless of life and death, and they are full of confidence in themselves, so that they can have the belief of invincibility, and military prestige will naturally arise.
It felt like giving his group a dismount, and Renyue couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.
"How much benefit have you given to these people?" Renyue asked Lin Xiqi beside him in a low voice.
He could see that the soldiers here were not ordinary.
Not to mention some leaders, even ordinary soldiers have the breath of internal force.
Renyue knew very well that these must be Lin Xiqi's handiwork, and only he could do it.
Lin Xiqi chuckled and said, "It's worth it, right?"
Renyue was speechless for a moment.
I can't say whether it's worth it or not.
For these people to have such an achievement, in addition to the exercises provided by Lin Xiqi, they must also need the cooperation of various pills, and with such a large supply, I don't know how much silver taels were spent.
Renyue could feel that the internal strength of these ordinary soldiers was good, and it was roughly estimated that they also had several years or even ten years of internal strength.
With such skills, he can also walk the rivers and lakes, which is more powerful than many ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
Some so-called third-rate sects, I'm afraid they only know some superficial internal skills.
How does this kind of exercise compare with Lin Xiqi's?
There is also the gap in moves.
Renyue knew very well that these soldiers would basically win when they encountered opponents with similar skills.
Internal forces also need subtle moves to exert greater power.
Such soldiers were found in other armies, but they were often elite and few in number.
And Lin Xiqi directly regarded these as elites as ordinary troops, if this was known to outsiders, he would definitely be surprised.
It can be said that Lin Xiqi has raised the strength of these soldiers by several levels as a whole.
If it is the elite among them, it is the elite of the elite.
"Those ten leaders are very strong, where did they find them? They must not have been in the army before, right?" Renyue asked in a low voice.
He saw the ten leaders in front of the phalanx, and the aura of these ten people was very strong, forming a sharp contrast with the others.
These people obviously didn't just practice the exercises, and they should have been masters in the first place.
"That's right, it's my people. Lin Xiqi nodded, "There are not enough people here, so let them fill the number." ”
In fact, in addition to these ten people, some were also sent by Lin Xiqi to Tu Yuanhai.
The army could not be supported by the recruits alone, and it was only when these people were dispersed into the army that the army was built.
As for Hong Shangrong's original reliable subordinates, they served as some instructors to assist Hong Shangrong in training this group of people.
They have a lot of experience, but they are a little older, and no matter how much they practice, they can't keep up with the footsteps of others.
Passing on their experience to these soldiers is the greatest asset.
Renyue didn't say anything more, he knew that Lin Xiqi must have cultivated a group of people.
It's easy to get some people to come and help.
"How's that, it's not bad, right?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"It's good, it's good, but you don't know it when you go to the battlefield, and if you don't like it, it's funny. Renyue said.
"Hong's soldiers are all real. Renyue's words made Hong Shangrong a little uncomfortable.
Even if he can see it, this kid has a good relationship with Lin Xiqi.
"Haha, Lord Hong, it seems that Ren Baxia is still a little suspicious, I hope you can dispel his doubts next. Lin Xiqi laughed.
Renyue nodded.
When Lin Xiqi and the others stood on the high platform, Hong Shangrong waved his hand.
"Lord Lin!" shouted a thousand people saluting at the same time.
Uniform, momentum like a rainbow.
Feeling this scene, Renyue's heart was a little agitated.
This is the army, and it is different from the sect.
The number of disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect is now more than here, but in terms of momentum, I am afraid it is not as good as here.
The elite in the army is forbidden, but the Jianghu sect can't do it.
The individual strength of the people in the rivers and lakes may be stronger, but if they join forces, they may not necessarily be as good as the people in the army.
On the battlefield, personal bravery plays a role, but it is not the key.
Lin Xiqi talked about the invasion of the Houyuan army on the spot, hoping that everyone could defend their homes without fear of life and death, and also mentioned the heavy reward afterwards, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, which stimulated morale.
"My lord, in fact, everyone has been trying to find someone to try the knife for a long time, and now the Tartar is coming to die, just right. Hong Shangrong said.
The improvement of strength has also greatly increased the confidence of these soldiers.
They want to go to the battlefield and show themselves.
