There are not so many twists and turns in the army. Usually whoever has a big fist can win over the crowd. With Yun Jinglu's skills, he is more than enough to be the captain of their squadron, the captain or even the corps commander.
The three team captains are not stupid. Although they have little knowledge and limited vision, it does not prevent them from clearly realizing how big Yunjing's 'fist' is.
After checking his eyes, he was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Can a change in attitude be cowardice? No, this is called being aware of current affairs and becoming a hero.
The three team captains put away their contempt for Yun Jing. Judging from what Yun Jing had shown before, becoming their squadron leader was simply condescending. At the same time, they were also very excited. They were letting their inner strength go out. Then
But it’s a sign of the later days of tomorrow. Yunjing has such skills, and they can look forward to the future.
If you follow the captain in the later stage of the day after tomorrow, who around you will dare to look down on them in the future?
As a soldier under the captain, if he is bullied, wouldn't it be a slap in the captain's face? Can the captain watch his soldiers being bullied? And if he goes to the battlefield, the sense of security will be greatly increased with such a captain, and
, the captain has become stronger and has made great achievements by killing enemies on the battlefield. As a soldier under him, can he also drink soup?
Acquired late-stage skills, such strength will not be buried in the military. Sooner or later, you will become a captain or even a corps commander. In this way, if you have a good relationship, won't your status rise with the tide?
Not to mention Bingyouzi, all of them are shrewd. The three team captains are thinking a lot at this time. Yunjing has such skills. If he bows his head in front of him and does not show off, even others have not had the opportunity.
.
Take the other squadrons around as an example. There is a captain in the mid-term acquired who looks like his nostrils are pointing in the air. Our captain is in the late acquired, so let me ask you if you are awesome...
"Captain, it's cold outside, please come inside quickly."
"Yes, yes, there is a charcoal fire burning in the tent, it's warm."
"Then what, captain, your gun is so long, let me hold it for you. We are one of our own, so you're welcome."
"Look at us. I didn't know that Captain, you were coming and messed up the tent. I'll clean it up right away."
The three team captains changed their attitudes instantly after seeing how powerful Yunjing was. They were all so enthusiastic that they almost asked Yunjing if he needed a warm bed. If so, he could just close his eyes and grit his teeth.
no.
Yun Jing has finally seen what it means to fall out of love faster than turning the pages of a book. The veterans in the army are all human beings.
The three team captains are not very old, between twenty and thirty years old, but they are soldiers at the bottom after all. The living conditions in this era are not so good, so they all look a little old.
He established a good relationship with his subordinates very harmoniously. Yunjing was also very happy. He put away the spear and handed it to the person next to him with a smile: "You are welcome, we will all eat from the same pot from now on, Yun."
It’s my first time here, so I hope you’ll take care of me.”
"What did the captain say? If you have any orders in the future, just tell me. Brothers will help you handle it," the man who helped him with the gun said, patting his chest and banging his chest.
Another person helped Yunjing open the tent door and said, "Captain, please hurry up, it's freezing outside with the ice and snow."
Walking into the tent, Yunjing didn't mind that they had 'ruined' his place before. He sat casually on the messy bed, looked at the three team leaders who were a little overwhelmed and said: "Three eldest brothers, this is the first time we meet.
, we should get to know each other for a long time in the future, my name is Yunjing, as I said just now, would you like to introduce yourselves?"
Seeing that Yunjing had no intention of blaming him, the three team captains secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Yunjing's casual attitude made them realize that he was an easy person to get along with.
I'm afraid of the kind of guy who relies on his ability and status to do things that don't please others. If such a person becomes the captain, life will be difficult in the future.
"Captain is serious, my name is Liu San, you call me Xiao Liu, and this is Zhao Dezhu, he is Wang Xiaoniu, the captain calls them Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wang," Liu San said immediately.
The first level of officialdom suppresses people to death, and they will have to work under Yunjing in the future. There are many places where they rely on Yunjing, and their posture is very low.
In fact, if it is just a superior-subordinate relationship in the military, they don't have to be like this at all. After all, the gap is not very big, and they will be comrades fighting together. It stands to reason that it is normal to call them brothers.
However, Yunjing's strength was greatly different from theirs. Furthermore, Yunjing's behavior was incompatible with the rough military personnel, which made them somewhat uncomfortable. Although they didn't understand it themselves, they subconsciously lowered their attitude.
.
"I can speak for myself," Zhao Dezhu glanced at Liu San speechlessly and curled his lips.
Liu San is probably the oldest among the three of them, in his thirties, a bit smooth, Zhao Dezhu has an honest face and is missing a little finger on his left hand, and Wang Xiaoniu is the youngest, serious in speech and expression.
After getting along for a short time, Yunjing got to know them a little bit, and then said: "By the way, before I came here, my superiors told me that I have five team captains, where are the other two?"
"Captain, He Wu, and Mu Chong are staying with their brothers. I'll call them for you right now..." Liu San replied and hurriedly left the tent.
Zhao Dezhu thought for a while and said: "Captain, they didn't know you were coming and didn't greet you immediately. They didn't mean to neglect you."
"It's okay. I came suddenly without any notice in advance. It's not their fault. I'm not that stingy either," Yunjing said, waving his hands.
Soon, the tent not far away that was originally shouting and shouting fell silent, and then there were footsteps. Liu San came over with He Wumu and the two team leaders.
Since then, Yunjing's five team captains have all arrived.
He Wu looked to be in his forties, and he looked like someone who had been in the military for many years. He had a kind smile on his face, and he looked like a good old man. He greeted Yun Jing in a very polite manner, making it hard for anyone to find fault.
Mu Chong is in his thirties, burly, unsmiling, and the clefts of his hands are covered with calluses. His attitude is not as enthusiastic as Liu San and others, and his eyes when looking at Yun Jing are vaguely cold. Although he is polite to Yun Jing, but in the
Look at it secretly.
When Liu San went to call them before, he briefly talked about Yun Jing's strength. Mu Chong was a little unconvinced and unsure, and he wanted to test it out. However, Yun Jing was a newbie here and was a Shangguan. At this time, there would be no good results if he clashed with his immediate boss.
'Liu San and the others were sleeping soundly, obviously just messing around, while He Wu and Muchong were messing around with their soldiers whenever they had the chance...'
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Yun Jing guessed that He Wu and Muchong had some ideas about the position of squadron leader, but he was blocked by him. It was reasonable that he didn't want to see him.
After meeting with his five team captains and getting to know each other, Yun Jing said: "Okay, let's all disperse. I will get to know each other with the remaining people at 1:00 p.m."
In this cold weather, Yun Jing never thought of calling the other soldiers out of the tent to name and lecture the new officers one by one on their appointment.
It is a rule in the army to count the number of soldiers in the morning and evening to prevent deserters and keep the Yunjingmen clear.
"Then we won't disturb the captain's rest," He Wu said with a smile, and several people left one after another.
After they left, Yunjing simply packed up the tent. After all, he didn't know how long he would stay here.
While packing up the tent, Yun Jing keenly felt that the atmosphere in the entire Dawn Legion camp had become a little tense. He paid a little attention and understood clearly, secretly thinking that he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so there was no need to pack up the rest.
"Liu San, Zhao Dezhu, Wang Xiaoniu, He Wu, Mu Chong, five squad captains, and more than twenty soldiers. This is the manpower under my command. Among them, the two squad captains He Wu and Mu Chong came later.
, didn’t see my methods, and were a little unfavorable to me or even unconvinced. Find a time to hammer it out. The war is about to start. I’m afraid that the people under my command won’t work together. Well, these are all small things..."
Thinking about this in his mind, not long after, Yunjing did not wait to meet with ordinary soldiers at 1:00 p.m., but instead waited for a messenger. His immediate boss, the brigade where their squadron was located, the brigade captain summoned his subordinates.
The squadron leader has something to announce.
Yun Jing had already expected this, and without any surprise, he followed the ordering soldiers away.
The captain of the army manages about a hundred people. He has a relatively important position among the basic officers. He is in a connecting position. According to the rules, there are two personal guards. The messenger is Yunjing and his group, one of the captain's personal guards.
one.
There are three squadrons in this brigade. Yunjing met the other two squadron leaders and the brigade captain in the captain's tent.
Because Yunjing was new here, they exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other after meeting. After all, they would have to fight side by side in the future.
One captain and two squadron leaders. Yun Jing secretly observed that the captain had a mid-level acquired cultivation level, but he was at the bottom. The two squadron leaders were still in the late acquired level where their blood and energy could not be transported, and their skills were estimated to be at the upper level.
A stage where he has to deal with a dozen ordinary people with his bare hands.
After all, he is a low-level officer, and he is not very capable.
After a few people exchanged greetings, the captain put away his smile and said solemnly: "Everyone, there is an order from above. The decisive battle is about to begin. Tomorrow, we will light fires and make food at the third watch. Brothers, prepare for the army at the fourth watch. We will set off for the expedition after dawn.
The Northern Expedition is underway. Our Dawn Army is the center. After the forward opens the situation, it is our turn to charge into the battle. We spearmen also have to charge at the front in the center army. Everyone must be mentally prepared. After you return, you will inform them and restrain them.
My subordinates, there is no room for mistakes in the war. If there is desertion and military law comes down, we will not be able to reap the benefits. Then, after the expedition tomorrow, the superiors will adjust the deployment according to the actual situation. We just obey orders and rush to kill.
That’s it!”
After hearing the captain's words, the other two squadron leaders looked solemn, and the smiles on their faces completely disappeared.
The war has been going on for many years. In the past, there was a truce in the middle of winter, a rare time to relax physically and mentally, but now we actually have to go to war in such seasonal weather?
Although it was a bit unbelievable, they did not doubt the authenticity of what the captain said. They should know that falsely spreading such an order in the army was a serious crime of beheading.
"I'm going to die. In this weather, even peeing can freeze a bird to death. You actually want to go on an expedition. What are you thinking?"
"I finally made it through the winter, thinking I could relax a bit... Damn it, we will go on an expedition tomorrow. How many people will come back alive after the war?"
The two squadron leaders said with ugly expressions.
They were just soldiers at the bottom. Facing the fighting of thousands of troops, they were no different from ants. They died piece by piece. No one had the confidence to come out of the battlefield alive.
In other words, once on the battlefield, those at the bottom are equivalent to Schrödinger's soldiers, trapped between life and death...
"Okay, stop complaining. The military orders are there. Go back and prepare. We will gather at the fourth watch tomorrow without any mistakes." The captain said solemnly. How could he not know that from now on, his head is equivalent to being temporarily placed on his neck?
, only God knows when it will fall off.
After returning from the captain's place, although it was not yet midnight, Yunjing still found Liu San and the others and notified the soldiers to assemble to announce the war.
On a cold day, the soldiers were called out of their warm tents. They complained one by one. They even looked down upon the new captain Yunjing, thinking that he took himself too seriously and deliberately tormented everyone for their existence.
feel.
Yunjing understood their feelings, but there were so many military orders that he couldn't control them so much.
Standing in the open space with an expressionless face, he watched the soldiers gather. After announcing the gathering for a hundred breaths, Yunjing looked at several squad leaders with ugly faces and said in a deep voice: "Liu San, Zhao Dezhu, Wang Xiaoniu,
He Wu, Mu Chong, count the number of people, and those who are late for no reason will be beaten with ten military sticks according to military regulations, and those who are late on purpose will be beaten with twenty military sticks!"
When He Wu and other team captains heard this, their hearts froze, knowing that Yun Jing was serious. Although they were unhappy that Yun Jing did not gather the soldiers at midnight, they still went to count the number of people in a good manner.
The ordinary soldiers had already known that they had a new squadron leader. Although they were unhappy to be called out in the cold weather, they all came anyway in order not to be outsmarted by the new commander.
It's true that he's here, but whether he looks good or not is another matter. Everyone is unhappy looking at the cloud scenery.
Initially they were still resisting Yunjing, but gradually they discovered that soldiers from various squadrons in the surrounding camps were gathering, and those who did not arrive were punished with military sticks on the spot, and screams were heard everywhere, so one by one they realized that the problem was not theirs.
The thought was so simple that I put away my indifferent attitude.
Yun Jing and his squadron members were all present. After receiving the report, Yun Jing faced everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let me introduce you to each other. My name is Yun Jing. I am your new squadron leader. Remember me. Next time
We will fight side by side through life and death.”
After a pause, Yun Jing continued: "Let everyone gather at this time. It's not that Yun is deliberately torturing everyone in order to declare his presence. I'm not that boring. I won't talk nonsense. I will announce something now. Yun has received an order. Tomorrow
The entire army will set out for the Northern Expedition. We will prepare meals at the third watch and set out at dawn at the fourth watch. Everyone, please be prepared."
"The military order is like a mountain. If you go to the battlefield, you still have a chance to live, but if you escape before the battle, you will definitely die. You don't need me to say it anymore, right? I don't want to see any of you staining the camp with blood when we go out tomorrow, so everyone should take care of themselves!"
After Yun Jing finished speaking, the whole squadron was in a state of explosion. No one could care about that much anymore, and everyone was talking about anything.
"Squadron Yun, we have no doubt about your identity, but are you telling the truth?"
"Yeah, this season, this weather, going on the Northern Expedition? It's not a joke, right?"
"Is this the reason why other squadrons gathered together?"
"It's so good, why is there suddenly a war?"
"how so……"
Facing the noisy soldiers, Yunjing raised his leg and stamped the ground. The frozen ground shook, and the loud and muffled sound attracted everyone's attention. Yunjing said in a deep voice: "Quiet!"
Mu Chong He Wu in the crowd looked at the ground at Yun Jing's feet, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and his unwelcome attitude became restrained.
After everyone calmed down, Yun Jing said: "Everyone, how can this be a joke? There is no joke in the army. Remember, everyone only has about half a day to prepare. Let's all disperse. We will gather at the fourth watch tomorrow. By then I hope
See everyone there”
After the announcement was completed, Yunjing also returned to the tent and silently made preparations.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare, I just silently checked the armaments and waited for the time to pass.
The order of the Northern Expedition has spread throughout the entire army. The atmosphere in the entire camp is unprecedentedly depressed and solemn. Patrol guards are running in all directions, and screams are heard from time to time above the camp. Such sounds have not stopped since the news spread from the north!
There is no way, there are too many people in the Dawn Legion. When war comes, there will always be those who are greedy for life and afraid of death and try their best to become deserters. If such people are caught, they will all be beheaded...
In the evening, Yunjing and the others went to the military canteen for dinner.
This meal is very rich, with white rice and oily meat. You can eat as much as you want. Unlike usual, the clear soup is watery and not oily at all.
After the war, I don’t know how many people had their bones buried in other places. Before the war, the soldiers were always given a good meal.
After the meal, everyone went back to camp to wait for tomorrow. The military was under martial law and no one was allowed to move around at will. However, the soldiers were not in the mood to run around. After eating, they went to bed as soon as possible to recharge themselves for the next day.
, Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows how rare it is to have a peaceful sleep during the war.
Yun Jing, on the other hand, couldn't sleep, not because he was afraid of the war, but because he felt extremely depressed when he thought about dying one by one on the battlefield.
In a small-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, he can still take care of his surroundings, but what follows will be a big battle involving hundreds of thousands or millions of people. Whether he can guarantee his safety and survival is another matter. For a war of this scale
To put it bluntly, his cloud scene seemed too small.
At night, there were bullock carts wandering through the military camp, distributing combat supplies to the soldiers. Yunjing received a few pieces of dried meat and twenty dry biscuits. These items were used to replenish physical strength whenever he was hungry during the battle.
In addition, any damaged weapons and equipment must be replaced in time...
Time passed little by little, and under the dark night, it was unknowingly at the third o'clock of the next day. A thunderous drum sound resounded throughout the entire military camp. The firelight came on and illuminated the camp like daylight. The soldiers woke up to the sound of drums.
Come and quietly prepare your clothes.
After another hour, the drums started playing again, and the soldiers dressed up and left the tent to have a meal. This meal was more sumptuous than the meal last night. You could eat as much rice, steamed buns, and meat as you wanted. Many soldiers even made themselves vomit.
Already.
It is very likely that this will be the best meal they will ever have in their lives...
As soon as the meal time passed and on the fourth watch, the sound of gathering drums rang through the military camp, and groups of soldiers went to the gathering place with complicated emotions.
"Everyone must have heard the screams last night, and everyone knows what they mean. I am very glad that all my soldiers are here. I hope that when I come back, you will still be so organized and set off!"
Under the firelight, Yun Jing looked at his soldiers and said this, his eyes crossing their faces. Although he had only met them a few times, when he went to the battlefield, everyone was the same, and there was no distinction between high and low.
With a wave of his hand, Yunjing took the lead and headed towards the gathering place of the brigade.
The squadron assembles, the brigade assembles, the team assembles, the military camp assembles, the whole army assembles...
The team got bigger and bigger, and eventually it converged into a torrent and reached the school grounds, which already numbered about 20,000 people.
There are ten battalions of this pike army, and Yunjing, a squadron leader, has no sense of presence among them.
Under the firelight of the school grounds, long spears were pointing straight into the sky, like a forest of spears.
There are three pike armies like this in the entire Dawn Legion with nearly 60,000 people. These 60,000 pike infantry can be said to be the backbone of the upcoming war.
The general who led this spear army had an innate intermediate level of cultivation. He stood on a high platform and watched the whole army's training, and his voice could be heard clearly in everyone's ears.
He said some words of encouragement, such as going into battle to kill the enemy and making achievements.
When the general was giving a lecture, every soldier who went on an expedition received a bowl of wine and a bowl of strong liquor, which was the 'send-off' drink for the soldiers.
When the general finished his lecture, everyone drank the bowl of wine, dropped the bowl, and the whole army set off!
A torrent of spearmen left the camp and formed a long queue to rush to Xieyang City.
The city gates were already wide open, the streets were cleared, and the army passed through the city, heading to Xieyangguan, the city gate on the other side.
Once they leave Xieyang Pass, they have left their homeland, and what will follow will be a cruel battlefield!
When passing by Xieyang City, although it was still dark, the streets were already full of people. They prepared the best food for the soldiers going out, including hard-boiled eggs, braised pork, steamed buns, steamed buns, whatever.
They would put some into the soldiers' hands if they were empty.
That is their intention.
Along the ten-mile long street, people passed food silently, their eyes were red, and many people shed tears silently.
Because of these soldiers, they can live a stable life, but how many of the soldiers who passed by will eventually come back?
They are all raised by their mothers and fathers. The battlefield is a road of no return. This damn world...
Passing by the street, Yun Jing's hand sank, and a plate-sized breast shield appeared in his hand. It was cold and thick, made of special material, and could not be easily broken open by ordinary people in the innate realm.
This is undoubtedly a precious life-saving item.
"Take care, Mr. Yun. May you return safely. May you and the other soldiers return safely. My little lady prays for you."
A vaguely beautiful voice came into his ears. Yun Jing looked around. Among the crowd on the street, Yue Qingyin's ordinary face quickly turned into her original beauty when facing Yun Jing's gaze. She
He was smiling, but his smile contained such deep concern.
Raising the breast shield in his hand, Yun Jing said "Thank you" to indicate that the kindness was received. He had not set foot in Xiantian, so he could not transmit the sound to his ears. I think Yue Qingyin had already received his answer.
"Wen Neng makes plans to subdue everyone, and Wu Neng goes into battle to kill the enemy and protect our country. There are few men like Mr. Yun in the world. I hope you return safely..." Yue Qingyin watched Yun Jing go away, murmured in her heart, and looked away,
His face became ordinary, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Yue Qingyin's gift of a precious breast mirror was beyond Yunjing's expectation, but it was just an insignificant incident.
The soldiers passed through the city and went out from Xieyangguan Gate. There was a vast plain ahead, and more than a hundred miles away was the Yangcheng City of Dajiang Nanyang. That was the first and most difficult piece of hard bone that the soldiers in the army needed to gnaw!
When the soldiers arrived outside the city, they did not continue to the north, but gathered in the open area.
Nearly 60,000 spearmen from three armies gathered together, and there was a forest of spears.
They were not the first ones to arrive. On this snowfield that was dozens of miles wide, one or two hundred thousand troops had already come to assemble. Later, a steady stream of troops came to Xieyang City to assemble.
Dawn Legion, Thunder Fire Legion, White Horse Legion, Divine Armor Legion...
Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, cavalry...
The armies were continuously gathering on the snowfield, and the crowds were so dense that one could not see the end at a glance.
In the end, more than a million troops gathered together, and the shocking scene made people feel numb.
When dawn broke in the sky and the scorching sun slowly rose, the army was assembled.
On the top of the city of Xieyang Pass, big figures appeared one after another, the commander of the three armies, Qin Antai, the second prince of Dali, Xia Tao, the general of the Dawn Army, Zhang Shoubei, the general of the Thunder Fire Army, Li Qiu, the general of the White Horse Army, Wang Changyun...
These big figures, who are rarely seen in ordinary times, climbed to the top of the city and appeared in the sight of all the soldiers.
The Northern Expedition is not about rushing to the opposite side in a swarm. It requires troops to stand in the front, troops to defend the rear, and troops to support.
It is a necessary procedure to assemble the troops and swear an oath before the actual war begins.
