As for the epaulettes, there are also two types, but they are not distinguished by occupation, but by military rank. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The epaulettes are black metal with a red cross inlaid on it, and the more red crosses, the higher the rank. There are two kinds of epaulettes, the first is a smaller red cross, one red cross represents the rank of ordinary soldier, two represents the rank of squad leader, and three is the rank of captain, which is the first type and belongs to the rank of grassroots army.

Another kind of epaulette is also based on black, and the gold cross pattern is inlaid on it, one represents the rank of general, two represents the rank of general, and three represents the rank of general, and then it is the central level, Yuan Fang has not considered it so far for the time being, and now the highest military rank is only a general, and it will take a long time to be promoted to the level of a general, unless there is any particularly great merit, otherwise it will not be used for a while.

Sang Rou played with the epaulettes she had just made, and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what rank are you?" ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "I'm still the captain." ”

Yuyue teased: "I'm a captain, so you'll have to salute me when we meet in the future." ”

Yuan Fangli saluted and said solemnly: "I have seen two chiefs. Sang Rou and Yuyue also returned the salute seriously, and then couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Jieyue said to Yuan Fang: "Brother-in-law, do you see if you can also get us an epaulette that reflects our military rank, you look at our epaulettes, it looks good, but everyone is the same, those soldiers don't know our military rank at all, sometimes it's not convenient." ”

Yuan Fang looked Jieyue up and down a few times: "Just your body, where is it inconvenient, who doesn't know that you are His Highness's personal guard?" Dare to give you a face, isn't it unpleasant to find. ”

Sang Rou said in solidarity: "However, I heard that General Lin said that he was going to add more people to us recently, and it seems that there are still a lot of them, originally the eight of us were okay to say, everyone has the same military rank, but if there are more people, there must be a distinction." Also, the camouflage uniform I wore during training didn't have any logo on it, everyone wore the same thing, and I didn't know who the commander was when we mixed it up. ”

Yuan Fang heard what Yuqing said about increasing the escort force, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, Yuan Fang thought about it, so many people who wear the same clothes together, there must be a distinction between high and low status: "Okay, I will discuss this with Yang Xing, it is best to get a unified standard for the whole army." ”

Just do it, while those military bigwigs are there, Yuan Fang ran back to the conference hall to discuss with everyone, and finally Yang Xing made a decision, just according to the epaulettes of the military doctor designed by Yuan Fang, but the cross pattern representing the military rank on it was changed to Venus and Silver Star, the silver star represents the rank of soldier, captain and captain, and Venus represents the rank of general, partial general and general.

That night, the furnaces of the blacksmith furnace began to operate in full force, and Wei Chigang also sent men to the county town and even further afield to procure all kinds of metals needed, of course, the silver taels needed were temporarily advanced by the wealthy merchants of Wulun.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to March, and the training of recruits has come to an end, Chen Xin and Lei Hua have reintegrated the recruits according to their personal strengths, and officers at all levels have strengthened their training and run in with the cooperation of the contingent so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and have already met the war in the near future.

For more than two months, Wei Chigang exerted his strength to get all the equipment for the recruits, although there were good and bad ones, but it was better than nothing.

The Rock Legion led by Qin Zhen has been completely stabilized under the continuous brainwashing, and now there is no resistance, and it has been completely taken into the pocket by Yang Xing and has become another trump card in his hand.

Ancient Bell City, Shi Ping was also actively training during this time, and Li Yue, the commander of the Lone Wolf Legion, had already gone to the coastal plain south of Niujiao Mountain to garrison according to the deployment, and soon after, Shi Ping would also lead 10,000 infantry to go.

Tang Jian sent 2,000 Dongzhou troops to take over Changheng to guard the border between the two counties, leaving 10,000 soldiers to stay in Dingbian City, and the remaining 20,000 Dongzhou troops were led by Tang Jian himself, and Chen Xin's new army, Qin Yan's rock army and logistics troops full of supplies and baggage set off first and rushed to the coastal plain.

On the fifth day after the departure of these troops, the gate of Dingbian City was opened, and a golden battle flag took the lead out of the city, and then a group of cavalry went out of the city in formation, Yang Xing, Yuan Fang, Chang Heng and other generals dressed in military uniforms and went out of the city gate in the eyes of the public, followed by two thousand royal guards with bright armor.

Lined up, Yang Xing said a few words casually, and then the troops set off, riding their horses and heading straight to the direction of Niujiao Mountain, the war is about to begin.

This expedition, it can be said that almost all the troops that can be mobilized in their hands have been mobilized, adding up to nearly 100,000 troops, if so many people are just to prevent the invasion of the enemy army, it is estimated that no one will believe it, of course, Yang Xing's purpose is not really just defense, their purpose is well known to everyone, that is, to carry out a counteroffensive while repelling the enemy army.

Yang Xing's purpose Prime Minister Xu Hanwen and the empress can see clearly, the same is true of the Ningyuan Empire, when Yang Xingfang's army began to gather to the border, the Ningyuan Empire reacted, the border of Lihua County, Yunfu County, Yanhai County three cities sent troops at the same time, the same soldiers were divided into two routes, 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry went to Niujiao Mountain, and the other 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry rushed to the coastal plain, and Yang Xing's army was far away, and the war was about to break out.

In mid-April, after the soldiers adapted to the new environment and battlefield atmosphere, the war finally broke out, the first attack was the defending side of the Niujiao Mountain Front, according to the designated battle plan, the key to this battle is the smooth passage of the Niujiao Mountain, as long as the enemy army on the opposite side is defeated, open the road, Chang Xun's Tiger Roar Army can drive straight in, when the time comes, whether to enter the territory of the empire or turn around to flank the enemy army on the coastal plain, how to do it, how to choose, but also depends on the situation at the time.

Niujiao Mountain was occupied by the Dongzhou Army almost half a year ago, during this time, a lot of heavy weapons were added to the two peaks, such as trebuchets and giant crossbows or something, as well as countless fire oils, these equipment were covered with canvas after fixing and measuring the range, so the enemy did not find the existence of those things after the arrival of the valley, in order to compress the space of the valley mouth, the enemy generals put the hard disk not very far away from the valley to prevent the opponent's men and horses from gathering out of the valley.

It stands to reason that they would rather the commander of the Imperial Niujiao Mountain Front Army do this in a decent manner, understandable, and there is nothing to find fault with and wrong, but they muttered about the other party's ability, and they never imagined that the other party had actually made so many heavy trebuchets on the two peaks in a short period of time, so that as soon as the war broke out, they had just assembled and were ready for battle, and they were bombarded by the large expanses of fire oil eggs projected by hundreds of trebuchets that suddenly appeared, and they suffered heavy losses.
