Chapter Twelve: No Choice

The atmosphere was particularly gloomy and solemn. The scattered soldiers and wandering soldiers leaned against the military camp wall in a daze. The walls were covered with old bags and bags, and a few people simply slept beside them.

The entire Panshe Fort military camp seemed a little narrow and crowded with more than 2,000 people. Except for the row of stone castles that were slightly pastiche, the middle of the entire military camp was filled with piles of people, just like a piece of yellow paper with colorful pigments.

"Damn, let's drive us here, is it necessary to encircle us in one fell swoop?!"

"Okay, Zhu Erlai, you still need to encircle and annihilate you? If you are hungry for two more days, you will have to lie down on the ground. When someone comes to cut your head, you will be out of your energy. Do you know how much rice on the market cost?"

"Get out of here, do you know again? Haven't a few bowls of porridge filled your stomach yet? It's getting excited again, Zhang Laowang?"

"Dog bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the kindness of good people! You can afford to jump around now. When Lord Chai comes back later, you will really recruit people. You are bored again and you will be eliminated. Then you will be unreproached."

Zhang Laowang, who was sitting next to the flagpole, was lazily looking for lice on himself, and pinched one to death with a crunch, and said nothing but a word of white mouth.

There were already a lot of people around, dozens of people in black, and there were still more than a dozen people like this in the military camp.

Everyone either gathered in the original system of Zhongzheng Army or Desheng Army, or they gathered in accent with their hometown, pricked up their ears and listened to the tricks of well-informed people inside.

When Zhang Laowang heard that he was eliminated, his group of people were like hornets' nests being poked, and they suddenly became buzzing and restless.

Everyone was eliminated in the previous round of screening. Since they were eliminated, there were naturally reasons. They were either older, some illnesses and wounds, or poor military discipline, and the latter was probably the main factor.

During the siege of the East Navy and Zhenhai Army, these people withstood the attack of the East Navy and Zhenhai Army, but also paid a heavy price.

After the truce, once these pressures disappear, some people will find it difficult to control their emotions and indulge in their bodies. The final result is that when the elite troops are to be reselected to form the two armies, many people here have not yet reacted.

The screening time is very short and there is no better performance, so it is immediately eliminated and there is no room for maneuver.

In fact, these people who are arbitrarily indulge in their own military discipline are not all those with inferior combat effectiveness. On the contrary, many of them are those who dare to face difficulties on the battlefield and fight to the death. They are just because they are fighting for their lives with their heads, so they are too indulgent after they come down, but they fall into this sudden selection.

So these people are very dissatisfied with being eliminated, and they also know how miserable their fate will be if they are dismissed back to their hometown, so they have to take a risk.

Now this struggle seems to have finally ushered in a slight change.

This is won by three heads, of course, there are some reasons that are unclear here. At least the few people who lost their heads are not good people, and the big-headed soldiers are not fools. They understand many tricks hidden behind this.

They are now waiting for the end of their fate more anxiously.

General Chai and the others knew each other. It was precisely because of their conviction with General Chai that these talents obediently came to the abandoned military camp outside the suburbs of this city.

This Panshebao military camp was built in the Yang Xingmi era. It was only a few miles away from Hefei City and had a good geographical location. However, it was abandoned in the Yangwo era because Ku Zhou had never encountered any war since that era. Occasionally, when the armies were about to come to Luzhou for inspection, they were abandoned most of the time.

Now everyone is bored but anxiously waiting for General Chai's return.

"Brother Lao Wang, do you think the defensive and defending envoy can agree to General Chai's request?"

This sentence hidden in everyone's heart was asked by a somewhat childish voice, which made the group of people quiet.

After so many years of being in the army, no one knows how bad the nature of this mutiny and riot is today. If the tyrannical king is, he is afraid that the butcher knife will be swung and the head will be rolling.

They also did not think that Jiang Feng was kind, and merciful people never could have gained a foothold in the army.

But they had no choice. They were more afraid of going back to the countryside to farm than beheading them. Some people had never even touched farm work. They wanted to let them face the loess and backs all day long with those barefoot and ragged mud legs, and farm day after day, and would rather die.

So they chose to try under the instigation of those who are interested.

Now they don’t know the result of this fight, but at least they tried once.

Chai Yong's appearance made them even more like seeing a savior. This general in the former Desheng Army shouldered the heavy responsibility of petitioning for them, and all their hopes remained on him.

But they also knew that the Lord of Huaiyou was not so easy to agree. If such a thing set a precedent, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to the prestige of the king, and no one would easily tolerate it.

The atmosphere was particularly surprising.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Zhang Laowang felt a little itchy in his neck and subconsciously scratched him.

He is from Shen County (now Feidong) and is a fellow villager with Chai Yong. He has worked hard for many years with Chai Yong, but it does not mean that he knows much about the above things. However, when Chai Yong left, he also followed him to ask, and Chai Yong only said the word "quiet and wait", which made him give birth to infinite hope out of thin air.

General Chai is not a person who speaks nonsense. He will naturally have confidence if he dares to say this.

Maybe this was a scene long ago? The leader of Huaiyou, who was said to be a big soldier like everyone a few years ago, might have made an agreement with General Chai?

Zhang Laowang didn't dare to think deeply, but he knew that the defensive and guard commander, like General Chai, was different from other generals. They were all poor and started with big-headed soldiers. Perhaps this is the reason why the defensive and guard commander was open to the Internet?

"Cough, cough, I don't know about this kind of thing. If you change somewhere else, maybe everyone has lost their heads." Zhang Laowang straightened his body. "But I heard that this defensive and guardian master is a little different. He is from all of us. If the brothers from Guangzhou should know that he can understand the suffering of our poor soldiers. We can go to the battlefield to die in battle, at least we can leave some gifts and gifts for our family members, but we can't let us die of old and sickness in the fields."

Zhang Laowang's words expressed everyone's thoughts.

They are all rough men who serve as soldiers and eat food. They suddenly ask everyone to hang out in the fields. How can they accept this?

It’s better to go to battle for life and death. Even if you die, you can still give me some gifts and gifts to your family. If you are lucky, you can still get some good news.

"Yes, we would rather go to the battlefield and fight for life and death!"

"I would rather die on the battlefield than lie in the countryside!"

"How can a soldier die under the bed?"

It immediately attracted a group of rough men to shout, and the crowd was in full swing.

"Okay, General Chai hasn't come back yet, everyone is calm. Do you really want others to hit everyone's neck?" Zhu Erlai shouted angrily: "Who told you not to choose? Who blames you?"

I said that everyone was depressed again. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. If I gave you a chance, I will be seized. Who would I blame?

"No matter what, we just want to have a chance to go to the battlefield to fight to the death. Can't this little bit of defense and guarding the enemy? They are all in the army and fight, and no one is better than anyone else. Wherever the defense and guarding the enemy wants us to go, we will just use this life to fight!"

"Yes, let's give this life to the defensive and guard commander, but it must be on the battlefield, not in the fields!"

For a moment, the entire military camp was filled with excitement.

"good!"

The sound is like a bell and big, coming from afar.

"I'll win this opportunity for you!" A figure broke through the air outside the village wall and suddenly landed next to the flagpole. Zhang Laowang, Zhu Erlai and others had already given up a circle.

Chai Yong landed proudly and looked around.

People around him began to come, forming a huge and airtight circle around the flagpole.

"I have asked the defensive and guard envoy to establish the 10th Army of the Huaiyou Left Army, with a group of 2,500 people, and a 25th Battalion Commander, five battalion commander and five battalion commander, twenty-five battalion commander, twenty-five battalion commander and deputy battalion commander, twenty-five heads and deputy heads, everyone present, if you intend to compete for this position, you can now line up and register here!"

Chai Yong's voice was clear and loud, and every corner of the entire military camp could be heard clearly. "The rest of the people can go to the right door to register for naturalization, 2,500 people, Zhang Laowang!"

"I'm here!"

"You and Zhu Erlai are responsible for organizing the registration and selection of soldiers. If there is any mistake, you will want your head!"

"Don't worry, General, I don't have to eat or drink, nor do I dare to delay the general's affairs!" Zhang Laowang's face turned red, he looked up with his head raised and said.

"Okay! Within three days, the battalions will be formed. Someone who wants to see their own training and want to fight for the commander of the battalion. Even if they release their horses, they will only trust their own eyes and avoid using those useless flower tricks to fool someone!" Chai Yongsen said.

Chai Yong knew very well the pressure he was facing. Jiang Feng gave himself such an opportunity, but in fact he forced himself into a desperate situation.

After fifteen days, the 10th Army will set off for Haozhou together with the First Army of the Left Xiang Army, the Sixth Army, the Eighth Army, the Ya Army, and the First Army of the Right Xiang Army of the Qin and Han Dynasties, Luo Chenggan, and the Second Army of the Right Xiang Army of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and may be devoted to the Huaibei battlefield at any time. With such urgent time, it is also a huge challenge for him to quickly build this army.

And the challenge is not just that. If the 10th Army wants to gain a foothold in the Huaiyou Army, it will definitely be demonstrated in this battle. Jiang Feng also made it clear that the 10th Army must prove itself in the first battle, which is the most critical.
