Section 13 Forming an Army
In a corner of Panshe Fort’s military camp, more than a hundred people surrounded here, and a single team directly entered the stone fort.
Although the stone fort in Panshe Fort’s military village has been going through decades, it is still strong. A wooden table, a humble chair, and a lonely lamp make the originally dark stone room much brighter.
Ten steps away from the gate of the Stone Castle, everyone was waiting outside, entering the interview one by one.
This is Chai Yongding's rule, he has to conduct assessment and interviews in person.
The 10th Army had no extra chance. The first battle might be a battle directly against the elite troops of the Huaibei Insurgent Army, so Chai Yong had no choice.
He must firmly grasp the soldiers under his command and figure out their strength so that he can make the most appropriate arrangements when he goes into battle.
After more than ten days, he would not have too many opportunities to observe through training one by one. This kind of face-to-face direct inquiry, assessment and observation is more intuitive.
As a long-time general who had fought in the Desheng Army for decades, Chai Yong still knew quite well about the generals in the Desheng Army. Unfortunately, Qin and Han dynasties and Luo Chenggan were not ordinary people. They had already captured all the outstanding people in the early selection, and the rest were more or less faults, or something was wrong.
Fortunately, he is not the commander of the Desheng Army now, but the commander of the first army, so his requirements will not be so high.
He only needs to ask a few simple questions about the military general who came from the Desheng Army and then look at the other party's performance to know the general, but the people from Zhongzheng Army need to carefully examine it to prevent mistakes.
Roles at the level of Dutou and Deputy Dutou are particularly important.
In war, they will directly shoulder the heavy responsibility of charge and assault. On the one hand, they need considerable martial arts, and on the other hand, they also need considerable command, control and organizational coordination skills. It can be said that this level of officer is the most critical to connecting the past and the future, so he must personally assess it.
When Desheng Army was the commander of the left wing commander, he only focused on military generals at the level of the battalion commander and the deputy commander of the battalion commander, but now he needs to directly contact Dutou and Deputy Dutou.
The identity and role have changed, but Chai Yong has no feeling of frustration at all. On the contrary, he has the urge and challenge to reshape himself.
He had been peaceful in Wu for a long time and had no war, which made him a little lonely.
Once the East Navy and Zhenhai Army attacked, the slackness and numbness developed by the Desheng Army for a long time made them in an absolutely unfavorable situation from the beginning, and they only started to recover after several consecutive defeats.
It’s a pity that the opportunity has been lost. The Donghai Army and the Zhenhai Army have been planning for a long time and have not given them many more opportunities.
Although he has changed from a commander in the wing to a commander in the army, he has a sense of impulse when he was young. In the next battle, he will face the elite of the influence army directly. He is eager to prove himself through this battle, and also eager to use his military achievements to win Jiang Feng's recognition of himself and the respect of other generals of the Huaiyou Army.
"Qi Qian, a native of Hanshan, Hezhou, was formerly the deputy commander of the Fifth Army Central Battalion of the Left Chamber of Zhongzheng Army,..."
"Why did you lose the election for the last recruitment?" Chai Yong looked up and down at the son who was standing in front of him, who was a little stingy.
The martial arts level is at least at the Tian-level marrow cleaning stage or above, to be precise, the structure stage. It is aggrieved to be the deputy commander in Zhongzheng Army. Why was he not selected in the previous selection?
"Drunk and missed the matter and failed to participate." The man had no obscureness.
"I see that you have the strength of the body structure stage in your martial arts level. Why can you only be the deputy commander of the battalion in Zhongzheng's army?" Chai Yong asked directly.
"Flirting with the maid of King Xin'an, he was demoted." The man still looked indifferent.
"Oh?" Chai Yong grinned, "So brave!"
"What can you do if you act without intention?" The man still had a sense of nostalgia in his eyebrows. This made Chai Yong, who had not liked this guy, have to admit that this person was a little rebellious, but as long as he could go on battle to kill the enemy, it didn't matter.
...
"General!" Zhang Laowang's rapid voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Chai Yong frowned. He disliked this behavior of temporarily disrupting his assessment the most.
"More than a thousand new people came from outside the military camp and asked to participate in the selection, but the people in the military camp refused to agree." Zhang Laowang was a little overwhelmed. He did not expect that the selection would have such a great impact. Even the soldiers who had not participated in the trouble and were ready to return home were alarmed and immediately threw down their bags and ran.
"Oh?!" Chai Yong was also a little surprised.
The remaining troops of the more than 9,000 Zhongzheng Army and Desheng Army, except for the 5,000 people who were selected in the first round, were more than 4,000. Five or six hundred were indeed willing to return home. Most of these people were injured or too old to be beaten, so they received some compensation and were willing to return home.
The remaining nearly 4,000 people, except for these more than 2,000 people involved in the trouble, the other more than 1,000 people were both sides of the rat. They were unwilling to return home, but they did not dare to participate in the trouble. Now they wanted to enjoy the consequences, which would naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of these people involved in the risky trouble.
After thinking for a while, Chai Yong said in a deep voice: "Tell everyone that once you become a naturalized person, you will have to fight in ten days. Life and death are destined to be true. Let them consider it clearly. If you are still willing, then let them run for election!"
What he needs is someone who can fight. It doesn’t matter whether it is speculation or not. If you go to the battlefield, as long as you are ruthless and smart enough to survive, there is nothing to say.
"Here!"
The selection lasted for a day.
The battalion commander and the battalion commander had nothing to say. This was something that could be spoken by real skills. If you can be shortlisted for the battalion commander, everyone knows the bottom of the army. It is a mule or a horse, and you can tell if you take it out and take it for a walk.
However, the competition between Dutou and Deputy Dutou is fierce, and Chai Yong did not neglect. He passed the test one by one, and was stunned until the evening was finalized.
It has to be said that after experiencing a series of battles with the East China Sea and the Zhenhai Army, especially after more than ten days of siege of the East China Sea and the Zhenhai Army, the remaining more than 9,000 soldiers were considered to be quite combat-effective after being tempered.
At least these people are much stronger than those new soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and seen blood. Even Chai Yong must admit that these soldiers are much stronger than the Desheng Army before they fought with the East Hai Army and the Zhenhai Army. The 2,500 people selected still have considerable strength. Even the more than a thousand people who were eliminated, he felt that they were worth keeping.
...
"I have selected all of you here by myself. Whether you were the Zhongzheng Army or the Desheng Army before, now we are all the 10th Army of the Huai You Zuoxiang Army. This number was given by the Haozhou regiment, which had already occupied this organization. We are fortunate to join the Huai You Zuoxiang Army..."
One by one, the commanders, deputy commanders, heads, deputy heads, heads, heads, heads, heads, heads, heads, heads, and heads, listening to Chai Yong's speech.
"Why did you give me this opportunity? It's not that you have a big face or that you feel sorry for everyone. It's because you promised me that you can take your brothers to win a battle for you, no matter who our enemy is!"
"I know that everyone is resentful. Why can the robes of the past be selected first? Why are we almost evicted back to our hometown? But I want to say that all this is not important. We have to prove ourselves, we just need to fight!"
"Win this battle, all contempt will leave us. We can tell everyone that it is not that you will be strong if you are ahead. In the end, you will have to fight with your life!"
...
"I didn't expect that Chai Yong had such ability and set up the 10th Army within three days." Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, "but he asked if the remaining more than a thousand people could consider forming a regiment to train troops, Jiulang, what do you think?"
The test of the 10th Army was Wang Miao who went there personally. After returning, Wang Miao was extremely optimistic about the status of the 10th Army, which made Jiang Feng very curious.
"The subordinates think it's perfectly OK. According to some observation, the momentum of the 10th Army is no worse than that of the 6th Army and the 8th Army. It's even stronger than the 4th Army, especially since they have experienced several wars, which is particularly rare."
Wang Miao put the combat effectiveness of the 10th Army, the 6th Army and the 8th Army together, which is enough to prove his optimism about the 10th Army.
"And Chai Yong's martial arts strength is probably second only to the Lord and Brother Kuang in our Huaiyou Army, right? It's not much inferior to the Qin and Han dynasties. Qilang is inferior. In addition, the army will win, so I am very optimistic about the next battle of this army. As for his suggestion, it might as well let more than a thousand people accompany Haozhou and stay temporarily in the name of Haozhou's regiment. Maybe it will be useful in the future."
"Jiulang is so arrogant that he is looking forward to the performance of the 10th Army in the future." Jiang Feng laughed, "Fortunately, there are many opportunities to show on the Xu Si battlefield, so there is no need to worry about not having any chance. The Fourth Army and the Fifth Army have not passed the battle formation, and they have never been convinced that you have evaluated the Fourth Army. You have to use blood to prove yourself."
"Is that so? It's a good thing for Guozhi to be so confident, but he will soon understand how big the difference is between the inexperienced new army and the old army who have been on the battlefield. And I'm sure that Guozhi is mentally prepared to pay the price, but he's just that the mouth of a cooked duck is hard."
When Jiang Feng heard Wang Miao wash Zhang Ting like this, he laughed, "Jiulang's comments are good. This is the kind of person he wants to see how the Fourth Army performed in this battle."
"Your Majesty, the Daozang Institute feels too much pressure. Although the Caiguan Institute has fully supported the demand of the Daozang Institute, the amount used is too large, and it is probably difficult to keep up with the demand for war." Wang Miao remembered another thing, "There are also many magic talents in Luzhou. Daozang intends to recruit them and move them all to Xizhou."
