Chapter 105: Alternate Training
The next day, the military order reached the military camp where Duan Lang and Siheng were. The two had already made preparations and immediately followed Xuan Shaoning to the alternate camp. After several selections of the township heroes recruited by Xuan Shaoning from Pingzhou and Dengzhou, there were 20,000 left, of which 3,000 were not as high as the champion, and they were now standing in the schoolyard of the alternate camp.
"Everyone!" This is the first time Xuan Shaoning has stood in front of so many people to speak. Even though he had practiced many times before, the nervousness in his heart still made him numb and his voice trembled. "Every word I said to everyone at the quarry that day was from the heart. In the world of great competition, Ping and Dengzeng have a brilliant past. Of course, you should win fame immediately! Thank you for giving me this opportunity, thank you for coming to this Xuanjia Military Camp with Shaoning. The training over the past six months has given you the foundation of being a soldier. Now I am hereby order from the general to train everyone, so that you can leave the alternate battalion as soon as possible, and have your own real army number and become a qualified Xuanjia Army! Do you still have confidence in yourself and Shaoning?"
"Yes!" The roar shook the sky, and Siheng was so shocked that he just wanted to stick out his tongue.
"Okay! From today on, all the alternate battalions in the future should be managed by me. The two behind me are Duan Lang, the captain of the Imperial Invasion, who is responsible for the training of the adult battalion; Deputy Captain of Xuanjie, Siheng, who is responsible for the training of the youth battalion. From the day you stepped into the Xuanjia Military Camp, you are no longer the pioneers of the past, but my Daliang soldiers. The Xuanjia Army has strict military discipline. You should have already experienced it. Today, Shaoning still emphasizes the military discipline. If you violate it in the future, Shaoning will definitely not cover up!"
"We are willing to follow the general and serve as a member of the Xuanjia Army to serve the court!" Xu Chengxian took the lead and shouted loudly. Ji Wenhan and the others immediately agreed in unison, shouting like thunder for a moment, even King Yu, who was in the general's mansion, could vaguely hear it.
"It's so powerful!" King Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Your Highness has taken a good move," said Mo Chengfeng.
"Oh? Master Mo is also optimistic about Xuan Shaoning?"
"I never doubt your highness's achievements in reading people. What I admire even more is your highness's way of using people."
"Isn't the way of hiring people learn from Master and Master Mo? Somehow, I always feel that I have a special relationship with Xuan Shaoning, so naturally his performance did not disappoint me. To be honest, Master Mo, I was deliberately cultivating him. One day he will become a brave general in Daliang and defend my Xiaoliang's territory!"
King Yu turned his gaze out the window. Even if he couldn't see it, he still firmly believed that his vision would not be wrong and that the person he chose could be a great responsibility.
"According to the new regulations of the Xuanjia Army: ten people are one team, ten teams are one team, ten teams are one school, and ten schools are one capital. Our alternate battalion can form two capitals, because we have not become the official Xuanjia Army, we will not be organized by military rank for the time being, but will elect their respective leaders. What do you think?"
"agree!"
The words of the crowd also made Xuan Shaoning feel much more at ease. The next question was the question of the candidate. Although he had already made a certain decision in his mind, it was not advisable to take the lead in expressing his favoritism at this moment. He could only be elected by everyone to convince the public.
"Since there are adult camps and youth camps, then the two battalions will choose one person separately!"
After a brief silence, a rough man yelled in the crowd, "I am convinced by Xu Chengxian! He is educated. He was the one who took everyone in the quarry before. When I arrived here, it would be better to act the same!"
"What Lao Guang said is, I agree!"
"It's Brother Xu!"
Soon more than half of the people raised their hands yelled, and Xuan Shaoning waved his hand with satisfaction to everyone to be calm. "Since that's the case, then Xu Chengxian, Brother Xu is the leader of the adult camp!"
"good!"
Everyone present applauded, and Ji Wenhan also looked at Xu Chengxian with envy, and his subordinates kept urging harder than others.
"The next is the Youth Camp." Xuan Shaoning turned everyone's eyes to the 3,000 young men who were not as tall as the champions standing beside him, the leader was Ji Wenhan. His big eyes kept blinking, and the Adam's apple squirming up and down showed the tension and expectation in the boy's heart at this moment. He also hoped that someone would roar behind him, but after waiting for a long time, it was silent. Ji Wenhan felt like a thorn in his back, and indescribable anxiety and uneasiness. As time passed slowly, just as Xuan Shaoning was about to speak, he stood up first, raised his chest and raised his head, and said in a tone that was not immature but not mature enough: "I, Ji Wenhan, are willing to serve as the commander of the Youth Camp!"
For the alternate battalion, it is obviously a bit inappropriate to use the word "commander", but no one cares at this moment, and everyone is inspired by the courage of this young man.
"I'm only three years away from the championship this year. I have the confidence to become a Xuanjia Army, and I have the confidence to lead everyone to become a Xuanjia Army!"
"Have ambition!" Xuan Shaoning did not hide his appreciation at all, and at the same time gave Ji Wenhan full affirmation. "If everyone has no objection, then Ji Wenhan is the leader of the Youth Camp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengxian was the first to applaud, and then the applause thundered. The man used this simple and firm attitude to express his support. Ji Wenhan's body began to tremble involuntarily under excitement and pressure, but when he looked at Xuan Shaoning, it was like a pouring rain in summer, and even more like a warm sun in winter, and he quickly calmed down.
"Since the candidate has been selected, from today on, you must strive to break free from the alternate battalion, wear the Xuan Armor Army armband, and truly go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
"Hi!"
In the next few days, Xuan Shaoning took the alternate battalion as his home, reviewed Pei Zhenghao's consideration records one by one, and decided to divide the brothers in the alternate battalion into cavalry, infantry, and drivers based on factors such as body size, skills, and personality. This is essential for practical assessment.
"The Xuanjia Army already has four guards - Jinjia, Handao, Tunlian, and Rust Claw. After passing the assessment, these brothers will inevitably be divided into the four guards. With Commander Pei's training for half a year, their information is already in my hands. I want to train them in the next time in four ways: individual battles, riding and shooting, driving, and combat formations!"
"This is reasonable. According to their respective strengths, they are allocated to the most suitable military camp. According to my observations over the past few days, the alternate battalion has improved in personal combat. After that, on the basis of stabilizing individual combat, it is necessary to start training riding and shooting and driving." Duan Lang agreed with Xuan Shaoning's plan and pointed out: "But there are two problems in front of him. First, riding and shooting requires horses and feather arrows, and the number of 20,000 people is difficult to gather; second, the cooperation between the battle formation is really difficult for me. After all, I don't have enough experience in the battle formation." After saying that, he looked at Siheng.
"Don't look at me, if you have to talk about practical experience, although I have been in the military camp longer than you, the real battle is only two this year!" Si Heng said helplessly and spread his hands, "But, I said you are too anxious to eat hot tofu. You are just following wherever you are? The combat foundation is not solid, so you are thinking about tactical cooperation?"
"During daily training, you can integrate tactics into it without having to deliberately propose it, so that the brothers can improve their personal combat effectiveness during the matchup and understand the importance of mutual cooperation." Xuan Shaoning explained his plan, and Duan Lang nodded in support.
"It makes sense, so now the only question is left." Si Heng threw the topic to Xuan Shaoning again.
Indeed, the Liang Dynasty was not as good as Xiliang. It has not produced famous horses since ancient times. The war horses in the army were purchased from Xiliang and bred themselves. The number of war horses was limited and the price of war horses trapped in Xiliang. The quality of war horses in the Liang Dynasty was not as good as Xiliang. Although the King of Yu was favored by Emperor Liang, all the war horses in the Xuanjiao military camp were all allocated to the Rust Jade Guard. The number of war horses among the other three guards was a handful. Now, in order to train the alternate battalion, it is really difficult to equip King Chen Yu. Xuan Shaoning once thought about facing King Chen Yu directly, but then he thought about it, in reality, how could King Yu call the configuration of war horses in the military camp for a mere lieutenant, which undoubtedly put King Yu in a dilemma and also made himself into rumors.
Looking at Xuan Shaoning's helpless appearance, Si Heng explained: "There is no way out. Take your time and there will definitely be a solution. Don't be so sad!" After a pause, he continued: "Otherwise, some people should feel distressed."
Looking at Si Heng's dancing look, Xuan Shaoning quickly understood who he was referring to. Just as he was about to explain, he heard a report from outside the tent, "Mo Chengfeng, Master Mo is asking for a meeting!"
It has been many years since I met Mo Chengfeng again. Xuan Shaoning only felt that the senior brother in front of me had never changed his original character after many years.
"Senior Brother Mo!" Xuan Shaoning treated him with military salute, but he shouted as a teacher. "I've been away for many years, but my senior brother is still in this spirit!"
"But you have changed." Mo Chengchengfeng helped this junior brother up, "It's no longer the students who first entered the military camp. Now he is a standard Xuanjia Military Captain, and the senior brother is proud of you!"
"Senior Brother Mo, there's me!" Duan Lang stepped forward and saluted. "Senior Brother cannot only have Shaoning in his eyes!"
"How dare? How dare? You can see you from time to time. Shaoning hasn't seen you for a long time. Isn't you just going to greet you?"
"Master Mo, after you have finished greetings with them, remember to greet me! Although I am not from Qingshan Academy, I am also from the same group as them!" Siheng disliked being ignored the most, so he took the initiative to attack. "Sir Siheng, please see Master Mo!"
"So you are Siheng?"
"Oh? Master Mo has heard of me? Could it be that the general praised me to Master Mo!"
"Hey, can you be so embarrassed?" Duan Lang ran a squeak, and Xuan Shaoning was already used to Si Heng's inappropriateness, but instead smiled and said nothing.
"What's wrong with me? You brothers meet and feel warm. I'm not trying to liven up the atmosphere. You, when will you be rigorous and bold, you still can't be able to control and relax!"
"It seems like you can do it, but I see you put too much, and I didn't see you accept it!"
"It's because you have known me for too short time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shaoning!"
Hearing that the two of them were burning the "war" to their side, they had to interrupt them quickly, "It's a verbal battle. You guys will fight well later. Let's talk about the serious matter first!" Turning to look at Mo Chengfeng, "Master Mo must be having something to do when he comes this time."
"That's right" Mo Chengfeng sat down at Xuan Shaoning invitation and immediately opened the right path. "Your Highness received a message from the capital: Xia Tang officially sent a letter of nationality, asking our court to explain the death of Xia Tang and return the body. Otherwise, we would use force against our country. According to military news, Jinchang City has been martial law, and Jiangzhou and Hanzhou, which are adjacent to Xia Tang, have also entered a state of alert."
The originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere was swept away by these words, Duan Lang asked: "How did Your Majesty respond?"
"Your Majesty's response was very tough this time. Not only did he tore up the national letter in front of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but he even beat the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to death despite the opposition of the ministers."
"This is going to provoke a war!" Si Heng blurted out quickly. His words were right. This action was like provoking a war, which really gave Tang a very suitable military verbal verbal verbal. "I have been fighting for years, and I finally have a chance to breathe. What did Your Majesty think? Didn't you hear the people's call to stop the war?"
"Don't argue with Your Majesty!" Mo Chengfeng stopped him sternly. Xuan Shaoning held Mo Chengfeng's arm and signaled not to worry. From the bottom of his heart, he also had the same thoughts as Siheng. Although Emperor Liang was not considered a militaristic military force when he was young, he also had frequent wars. However, after he entered middle age, his military use was significantly reduced. However, when facing Princess Tang this time, he was a rare tough and even a little irrational.
"Then...what will the general react?" Xuan Shaoning asked.
"Your Highness knows that this matter is entirely caused by himself, and now he cannot sit idly by and watch."
"But Ye Cang is far away from the border between Daliang and Xia Tang, and the Xuanjia Army is responsible for guarding against Xiliang."
"What Duan Lang said is, how can Your Highness not understand this? It is precisely because of this that he is very upset. He is unwilling to let himself be the fuse for the war between the two countries and once again make life suffer."
"Senior Brother Mo has something to say to us?"
"Shaoning, I came here for private affairs and did not involve public affairs. It is difficult to avoid the battle with Tang, but I am also worried that Xiliang took the opportunity to attack. The previous battle, especially the battle to destroy Hu, has caused considerable losses to our army. If the war reignites in a short period of time, your alternate battalion will be an extremely useful force!"
"However, the alternate battalion is still in short supply, and it is difficult to get on the battlefield at this moment!"
"With you here, I have to train more. I believe that the combat effectiveness is definitely not low. Besides, a lot of experience has been obtained in actual combat. I hope you will do your best in the future."
