027 Selection
"What Xipinghou said is very true. There was not much difference in the military strength of the two armies. Coupled with these sectarian people, our army will be defeated in no time. A grim light flashed in Xiao Gang's eyes: "I will immediately return to the camp and write a letter to my father." Let him transfer some masters to the northwest. This time the sect is involved in the war between the imperial court and Yunmeng, if I find out that it is the demon sect of the Central Plains, I will definitely gather a large army and exterminate their Dao system!"
"Well, what the prince said is very true. During this time, I will use the terrain to strengthen the defense. The steepness of the hill was not conducive to cavalry charges. Yesun Temur is good at the art of war, so he shouldn't be so unwise. Now, let's trouble the eldest prince from the court to transfer some masters who can deal with Qi refining Chenggang over. Immediately launch a counteroffensive!"
Xipinghou nodded.
The master of refining qi into a gang, shaking the mountains and shaking the mountains, already belongs to the powerhouse level of the half-step grandmaster. Looking at the beams, there will not be too many such characters. Yunmeng this time, nearly twenty of them appeared at one time, so many masters, it is really unusual!
The two of them chattered a few words in the camp, and the eldest prince immediately got up and left.
Back in the barracks, the eldest prince Xiao Gang spread out the rice paper and began to write a recital. Halfway through the recital, it suddenly stopped.
"Mu Yi!"
"The subordinates are here!"
Behind the crown prince, a burly guard in a white robe answered.
"Your whole body is a royal martial artist, and now you have stepped into the realm of innate martial arts. It stands to reason that he is enough to be a general of Anguo. But since you have been my bodyguard, you cannot be knighted. Hongu can't help you. ”
Xiao Gang said.
"It is an honor for my subordinates to serve the eldest prince. The guard, named Mu Yi, stood upright and said expressionlessly.
"Now, this palace will give you a chance to make a name for yourself. -- The king of the commander died in a fierce battle, and the post of captain became vacant. Tomorrow, I will give you a commandment. You go and join Wang Meng's Duwei battalion. Whether you can take the position of lieutenant or not depends on your ability. However, no matter what, that Jia Tianxiang must not be allowed to sit in the position of captain!"
"Yes, Prince!" Mu Yi finally had an expression on his face. In the tent, a look of envy flashed in the eyes of the other guards as they swept past him.
As a guard of the royal family, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is destined to have no identity. The opportunity to make a name for yourself like this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"You go now. The royal guard, serving as a captain, is more than enough. Now, you should go to the Captain Battalion to take up the position of Captain. Tomorrow we will compete for the position of captain. - Let's go!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Mu Yi arched his hand and strode towards the outside of the tent. At the moment when he stepped out of the camp, there was a glimmer of astonishing brilliance in his eyes. Like a piece of wood, rejuvenated.
Behind him, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince Xiao Gang.
"This Jia Tianxiang has some talents, if he wasn't from the Jia family, maybe I would try to recruit him. However, in the royal family, who is not afraid that his Jia family has a complete inheritance, if there is another martial saint - although he is not a descendant of the Jia family, the two are expedient, I can only give him up. It's a pity......"
The eldest prince Xiao Gang sighed in his heart. Now in Yunmeng in the northwest, Jia Tianxiang can fight with Yesun Temur in commanding the army. His talent no longer needs to be proven. If he is given ten years, he will definitely be a military general in the Liang Dynasty. As the only prince who commands the army, it is a matter of duty to recruit as many talents as possible. But Jia Tianxiang is a different person from the Jia family.
As early as twenty years ago, the emperor began to weaken the influence of the Jia family in the army, if at this time, under the nose of his eldest prince, let a Jia family become bigger, then he would not want to have a good life.
......
On the second day, dawn broke in the east.
"Passing on the order of the Marquis of Xiping, the officers and men of the whole army, on the basis of military merit and strength, decide on the new positions of army commander, chief, centurion, thousand-hundred-chief, captain, captain, and general! If no one has enough military merits, the subordinate of the post will be determined by strength!"
A herald, the first with a command flag, appeared in Wang Meng's camp and announced an order. As soon as the order was issued, the entire lieutenant battalion was boiling.
On the battlefield, it has always been the best and fastest place to fight for fame. In the past three days, there have been many heavy battles, and there have been many losses among soldiers. But the losses of low-ranking non-commissioned officers were also no less.
"Zhou Xin, Chu Mad, now your chance has come. With your strength, you can compete for the commander. It's a pity that your strength is not enough, otherwise, you can take advantage of this to rise to the position and become a captain!"
Jia Tianxiang said. For this Xiping Hou's order, Jia Tianxiang had already expected it. Yesterday, those innate masters suddenly attacked. The spearhead is directed at the captains, captains, and generals of Daliang, and with their terrifyingly strong strength, these captains, captains, and generals are almost powerless to resist. The low-ranking non-commissioned officers suffered heavy losses. Today's re-election of non-commissioned officers is completely reasonable.
"Well, we'll try to get it!"
Zhou Xin and Chu Mad nodded. This time, it is not only their opportunity to be promoted in the army, but also an opportunity for Jia Tianxiang to expand his strength. Jia Tianxiang's meaning is naturally not to let them compete for the centurion and thousand-commander under their own name, but to compete for the centurion and thousand-commander of other captain's battalion.
"Meng Qing, Liu Shui, He Feng, you know what to do, right?"
Jia Tianxiang turned his eyes and looked at the three people. In the three consecutive days of fighting, the three were also injured of varying severity, but as long as they did not die, it was a big opportunity.
"Thank you for the promotion, we know what to do!"
All three of them were in the reserve battalion, and they were all at the rank of captain. But as soon as he was transferred to the army, he was immediately demoted to one level and became a thousand-commander. With the hearts of the three of them, they are naturally a little unwilling, but there is no way to do it. Nowadays, there are a large number of vacancies in the army, lieutenants, and this is naturally an opportunity for them.
However, if Jia Tianxiang does not agree to let them go out and participate in the competition. No matter how hearty the three are, no matter how strong they are. That's useless too. Therefore, the three of them were grateful to Jia Tianxiang.
Hoof!
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and on the path leading to the top of the mountain, a general in black gold armor and several lieutenants came galloping forward. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they immediately reined in their horses.
The selection of centurions and commanders at all levels was carried out in their respective camps. I'll send someone over to oversee it. As for the death of Wang Meng in battle and the vacancy of the post of lieutenant, I will personally preside over it. If you hear your name below, you will be listed immediately......"
The general of Wujin Jia took out a book of names and read it according to it: "Captain Jia Rui, Captain Yang Ye, Captain Liu Shu, and Guard Zhao Xiong." ”
Hearing the name of the guard Zhao Xiong, Jia Tianxiang was slightly surprised, this Zhao Xiong is Wang Meng's guard, and he should at least have the power to refine bones. Yesterday, he narrowly escaped with his life.
"The king died in battle, and even his guards could actually participate in the battle for the captain. ...... And this Mu Yi, how can I not be impressed!"
Jia Tianxiang thought in his heart.
"Whoever just read the name, come here!"
General Ugin Jia said in a loud voice. As soon as the voice fell, Jia Tianxiang and the others immediately rushed out from their respective camps.
The lieutenant battalions of the regular army generally range from seven to ten lieutenant battalions. Yesterday, that innate level martial artist exerted his strength and killed a large number of captains, and there were only a few left.
"You've been together for a while. Each other's strength should be known. If you feel hopeless to compete for the position of captain, you will automatically quit. This is the army, not a martial arts training ground, so let's keep it simple. ”
A man with a thin figure but a piercing gaze turned his head to look at Jia Tianxiang, suddenly turned his head and arched his hand: "My lord, I will withdraw automatically." ”
Jia Tianxiang knew this captain, his name was Yang Ye, and he was a veteran in the army.
"Hmm, then you can go. ”
"Captain Jia, with your strength, you can already become a captain. I hope you succeed, so that brothers, it is equivalent to one more way to live!"
When returning to the barracks, Yang Ye deliberately stopped by Jia Tianxiang's side for a while, and then passed by.
In the past few days, he followed Jia Tianxiang's lieutenant battalion and handed over the troops to Jia Tianxiang's command, reducing many losses in military strength. For Jia Tianxiang's ability to command troops, he is most clear about martial arts cultivation.
"Only the captain of the Bone Refining Martial Master...... , you can't compete with him if you go up!"
Yang Ye thought in his heart and returned to the camp.
"Well, there are only three people left. - Jia Rui, you have been in the regular army for a short time, and according to your military exploits, you will not be able to be promoted to the rank of captain. However, yesterday you killed a martial artist who refined qi into gang, and the marquis of Xiping had an order, and this martial artist who refined qi into gang was calculated according to the rank of general. That is, you killed a general. In this way, with your merits in the previous few days, the qualifications for promotion to lieutenant this time are enough. General Wu Jinjia opened the thin book in his hand and glanced at Jia Tianxiang.
Jia Tianxiang's expression was calm, he knew about these materials yesterday. A congenital-level martial artist should have been calculated according to third-class merit. However, it should be that person dressed as an ordinary soldier, and according to the rules of the army, he was demoted to one level. From the third-class merit at the general level, it has become a fourth-class merit at the general level. After careful calculation, it was just enough for Jia Tianxiang to participate in the competition for the captain.
"Liu Shu, you are Wang Meng's guard, and you have the strength to refine bones. Plus you've been in the army with the lieutenant for many years, so it's enough to be promoted to lieutenant......"
"Mu Yi ......" General Wu Jinjia turned to the back page and hesitated for a moment, then muttered a few words vaguely: "You are the guard of the great prince, but it is enough......"
"Huh?" Jia Tianxiang's eyes were like lightning, and he instantly swept towards Mu Yi: "It turned out to be the person of the eldest prince!"
Jia Tianxiang didn't believe it, all this was accidental. Yesterday's batch of masters who suddenly appeared, the true qi was released, and the amount of qi refining became a gang, where these people appeared, not to mention the captains, general-level people, they all suffered a lot of losses. If the eldest prince really just wanted to promote this subordinate, he should have sent him to participate in the selection of generals, not this so-called captain.
Jia Tianxiang turned his head and immediately thought about the cause and effect.
"This eldest prince doesn't want me to be a big ...... in the army"
