【Chapter 556】The sea sails by the helmsman, and all things grow by the sun
"Report to the chairman, the Qin cavalry has been assembled!"
"Report to the chairman, the Han cavalry army has been assembled!"
While Gao Yigong was responsible for the formation of mountain combat units, in the Black Mountain Battalion, two new units of the White Clothes Army were also formed. These two troops are ordinary cavalry combat units, and they are equipped with weapons that are all moon guns. Their names are called the Qin Cavalry and the Han Cavalry respectively. The strength of each unit is two brigades, ten squadrons, a total of about 3,000 people.
The members of these two new units can be said to be truly from all over the world. A considerable number of soldiers came from nearby Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places. Relevant intelligence shows that natural disasters such as drought and locust plagues have broken out one after another in these places, coupled with the inaction of the local government, or indiscriminate actions, resulting in the misery of the people's livelihood and misery.
Under the guidance of some people, the people who could not survive in the local area fled thousands of miles to Ningxia Town and defected to the command of the white-clothed army. Naturally, the white army will not refuse this. As long as the conditions are qualified, all of them will be recruited into the army. Among them, the farthest ones even have people from Leizhou Mansion in Lingnan.
From Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away, he came to Ningxia Town to join the army, which has to be impressive. At the same time, it is conceivable how dark the local situation in Leizhou Mansion has become. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive locally, who would want to travel through most of China and run to Ningxia Town to join the army? Needless to say, the hardships suffered along the way.
Of course, the largest number of soldiers is still the military household in Yansui Town. The military households in Yansui Town, the active surname of joining the army is indeed very high. The local belligerent traditions have not changed. Moreover, their physical fitness is also good, and they have a better chance of passing the exam.
"Brothers, I can promise you that you will not be bullied again! No matter how humble you were, how weak and inconspicuous you were, from now on, you will be heroes who stand up to the sky! Your destiny is in your hands! The weapons in your hands are the foundation for defeating all enemies......"
On the high platform, Zhang Tianhao was making an impassioned speech on behalf of Xu Xingxia.
The 6,000 soldiers of the Qin cavalry and the Han cavalry all gathered in front of the high platform to listen to Zhang Tianhao's speech. Under all kinds of verbal stimulation, the soldiers of the two armies appeared to have flushed cheeks, were full of energy, and wanted to do a great job. Such an effect is naturally what Xu Xingxia is willing to see. Only such troops can have morale and vigor.
Behind the high platform, Xu Xingxia was talking closely to the commanders of the two new units in a low voice. The commander of the Qin cavalry army is called Chen Bachi, a man of five big and three thick, his whole body is swarthy, his skin is slippery, and he can't even stop the beads of sweat. He is said to be eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet. Of course, this is pure joke.
However, as can be seen from his name, in his early years, his family was indeed very poor, and he did not even have the money to ask a private school teacher to help him come up with a name. The title Chen Bachi was originally a nickname, but later it was simply used as a name. This kind of situation is very common in the white-clothed army, and the more people from the bottom background, the more so.
Chen Bachi does have a bit of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide's style, with dark skin, copper-bell-like eyes, the muscles on his body are lumpy, and his limbs are more than half thicker than ordinary people. When the fist is clenched, to paraphrase a later generation, that is, "as big as a casserole". The two legs can almost be described as elephant legs.
The commander of the Han cavalry army, his name is Liu Yisuo. This name was chosen by Mr. Private School. It is estimated that Mr. Private School is a bit detached from the reality of life and likes to drop his book bag. Originally, the meaning of this name should be a long road and a long way to go, and I will go up and down wholeheartedly to seek. It's a pity that ordinary people can't understand such a profound meaning at all. They don't know a single word, how can they want to understand Qu Yuan's article? As a result, the name is often called "keep a hand". Actually, Yisuo is definitely a bold person.
Compared with Chen Bachi's block, Liu Yisuo is completely Sven. His body was only half as thick as Chen's eight feet at most. His appearance is still a bit sinister, and from time to time it gives people a gloomy and cold feeling, as if he is a lurking poisonous snake. All this is because he has a pair of triangular eyes, which gives people a weird feeling. Such a person is suitable to be a sniper. In fact, this Liu Yisuo is indeed a sniper, and his marksmanship is quite good.
After Zhang Tianhao finished his speech, the two new units were disbanded. Several of their leaders also gathered together. The unit has just been formed, and there is still a lot of work to be done. As the commanders of the new troops, Chen Bachi and Liu Yisuo both hope to get more guidance from Xu Xingxia. Now there are more than a dozen cavalry teams under Xu Xingxia's command, and it is still a little difficult for their two new troops to stand out and become the main force.
It's just that people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense, the title of this main force, no matter how difficult it is, must be fought for. For this point, whether it is the big Chen Bachi or the poisonous snake-like Liu Yisuo, they all have the same mind. The two of them are very competitive people and have never taken the initiative to admit defeat. The two of them also have very solid foundations. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed by Xu Xingxia as the commander of the new army.
The sea sails by the helmsman, and everything grows by the sun. For the newly established troops, in addition to good soldiers, good equipment, strict discipline, scientific training, and constant actual combat, it must also have a strong leader. This leader can't be a bad breed. A soldier will be a nest of bears, which the ancients said early on that they died.
Xu Xingxia is naturally very clear about this. The commanders he chose were all very competitive. Even if they have some shortcomings in other aspects, as long as they are motivated enough, Xu Xingxia can turn a blind eye. Like Gao Jie, there are actually many shortcomings, but as long as he can fight, Xu Xingxia can tolerate it. Comparatively speaking, those who are good old people, or those who follow the rules, have little chance of becoming the ruler. On the battlefield, there is no need for such people.
Xu Xingxia patted Chen Bachi's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Is there any pressure?" ”
Chen Bachi straightened up and replied loudly: "Report to the chairman!" No! ”
Xu Xingxia turned his head to look at Liu Yisuo and said nothing with a smile.
Liu Yisuo said honestly: "Chairman, it is impossible to say that there is no pressure. Three thousand eyes are looking at me! Honestly, I'm feeling a lot of pressure! If I don't do a good job as a commander and disgrace our white-clothed army, it is estimated that the three thousand brothers of the Han cavalry army will directly tear me to pieces and eat me in one bite. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and said sincerely: "Whether you have pressure or not, I will leave it to you for the Qin cavalry army and the Han cavalry army." Now is the time of the bone, whether the new troops can play a majestic role depends on the ability of the two of you. The sea sails by the helmsman, and you are the helmsman. All things depend on the sun, and you are the sun. Whether the new unit is a hero or a bad breed depends on the two of you. I said ugly things in front, play well, commend, reward, promote, and impart experience. Badly beaten, criticized, punished, demoted, thought behind closed doors. ”
Chen Bachi's blood suddenly surged, his face turned red, and he said excitedly and loudly: "Please rest assured, Chairman, our Qin cavalry army will definitely not embarrass you!" ”
Xu Xingxia shook his head and said, "What I want is not your verbal assurance, what I want is actual results." ”
Chen Bachi was silent. But from his excited expression, it can be seen that his determination is very strong. From his expression, it can be completely seen that the brothers of the Qin cavalry army, in the next few days, I am afraid that the training will be very hard and very uncomfortable. If someone can't keep up with the training progress, it is estimated that Chen Bachi will not have a good face to show him.
Relatively speaking, Liu Yisuo's expression is much more insipid. If Xu Xingxia didn't ask, he would hardly speak. However, if you think that this Liu Yisuo is light and light, and it is none of your business, then you are very wrong. The training intensity of the Han cavalry has always been above that of the Qin cavalry. No matter how the Qin cavalry chased after them, they were always behind the Han cavalry. In private, Chen Bachi also had to admire Liu Yisuo's ruthlessness. It is said that a dog that barks does not bite, and a dog that bites never barks, and it is estimated that the poisonous snake that bites people is also unknown and lurks quietly.
Xu Xingxia paused, and then said slowly: "Due to the tense situation, your training time may have to be shortened. You must seize the time, complete all the training subjects, and build up combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Tell the warriors that they are facing the most ferocious and cunning of opponents. If you don't want to die, you have to put out 12 points of strength and train yourself seriously. It's better to sweat on the training ground than to bleed on the battlefield. ”
Chen Bachi and Liu Yisuo said in unison: "No problem! ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and didn't say anything more. All he had to do was done, and the rest was the responsibility of the two of them. The future of the Qin cavalry and the Han cavalry is in their hands. Hopefully they don't let themselves down. The Qin Cavalry and the Han Cavalry are named after "Qin" and "Han" respectively, don't lose the face of these two words!
Liu Hanwu suddenly arrived and said in a low voice: "Chairman, Gao Jie is here." ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and said casually, "Please let him in." ”
Chen Bachi and Liu Yisuo are about to leave.
Xu Xingxia said: "You two don't have to go, meet Gao Jie together." ”
Chen Bachi and Liu Yisuo glanced at each other, both a little puzzled, not knowing what Xu Xingxia meant. What do they have to do with Gao Jie? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, huh? Could it be that in the future, they will both be worthy of fighting under Gao Jie's command? It is reported that Gao Jie led the mastiff cavalry army to return from Gansu Town in a hurry this time, and he was going to undertake a major task. Perhaps, among the major tasks performed by Gao Jie, there is a place for them.
Their guesses are indeed not far off. Xu Xingxia does have such intentions. Gao Jie's anger, Xu Xingxia still appreciates it. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Gao Jie is too murderous, too bloody, too ruthless, and too unsurnamed. However, during the war years, such people were absolutely indispensable. The battlefield is not a place to speak people's surnames. In Xu Xingxia's opinion, one Gao Jie is not enough, it would be nice if there were a few more.
That kind of soft troops are not of much benefit to the war. Their only role is to be a guard of honor. This is not a peaceful era, swords and swords, undercurrents are surging, and life is very fragile. If you are not careful, it will be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of heads falling to the ground. Without enough strength, it is simply impossible to guarantee its own safety. Xu Xingxia didn't want any of the troops under his command to be called sheep or something.
It is determined that the Qin cavalry and the Han cavalry will fight with Gao Jie, which is to let them learn Gao Jie's anger and the fighting spirit of the mastiff cavalry. With Gao Jie's temper, Chen Bachi and Liu Yisuo, if they don't work hard, they are afraid that they will be scolded half to death. In fact, Xu Xingxia's expectations are not very high, as long as the combat effectiveness of the Qin cavalry army and the Han cavalry army can have seventy percent of the mastiff cavalry army, he is very satisfied.
Now that there are so many troops under the command of Xu Xingxia, it is naturally the Mastiff Cavalry Army to say that the troops that fight the most fiercely, kill the enemy the most ruthlessly, have the strongest endurance, and have the strongest will to fight. Every time there is a battle, those guys in the mastiff cavalry are like mad dogs, biting the enemy and refusing to let go. If you don't bite the enemy to death, you will resolutely refuse to stop. During this battle in Gansu Town, many Tatars were frightened by the desperate strength of the Mastiff cavalry. They've seen perverts too, but they've never seen anything so perverted. From top to bottom, the Mastiff Cavalry is a group of perverted combinations.
Of course, if you want to say that the unit with the worst discipline, the worst style, and the most complaints is the mastiff cavalry. I don't know how many complaints there are against Gao Jie alone. This kid can not only fight, but also rob. In addition to looting, they also grabbed supplies for friendly forces. Last time in Gansu Town, the logistics materials of the wolf rider were directly snatched away by Gao Jie. was so angry that Zhang Feng, the commander of the wolf cavalry, came to the door and complained to Gao Jie fiercely.
The needle can't be sharpened at both ends, it's something that can't be helped. The characteristics of the mastiff cavalry are very distinct, whether it is good or bad, it is the most prominent. The key is also the control of the superiors. Troops like the Mastiff Cavalry will always be used on the front line against the enemy. Only in this way can its sharp blade be aimed at the enemy at all times. Don't put it in the rear to recuperate, or the blade will injure the white-clothed army itself.
Sure enough, as soon as they met and finished the military salute, Gao Jie couldn't help but say, "My lord, we shouldn't be in reserve, right?" We're not in reserve! ”
Xu Xingxia said quietly: "How is the recovery of the troops?" ”
Gao Jie said proudly: "Very good! We've never been tired of complaining! ”
