Chapter 450: The new general

Views:

Drive out of the account? Who is Miss Xu talking about? Lin Wanrong looked around, and saw that everyone's eyes were on him, sympathetic, gloating, and all kinds of eyes. The young general in his thirties looked at Lin Wanrong, smiled and said nothing.

"Well, Miss Xu, you're not talking about me, are you?" Lin Wanrong yelled, not taking it seriously.

Xu Zhiqing lowered her eyelids, and said calmly: "Marshal, in this tent are all my commanders and generals who resist Hu's army, and they are all reliable, except for this newcomer. He doesn't wear a waist knife, he doesn't wear armor. There is neither a real position nor a false name in the barracks, and right now we are discussing the plan to fight against the enemy, in order to keep secrets, it is better to invite irrelevant people out."

Miss Xu put a big hat on, which really made Lin Wanrong speechless. Right now, he is an idler in the imperial court. Although he has prestige in the army, he has no position. It is not a lie to say that he is irrelevant.

Li Tai laughed twice: "I understand Zhier's meaning. Talents like Lin San can't even be invited, so how can they just pretend to be idle? I have already asked the emperor for an imperial decree, and I plan to appoint him as the Our army's right-wing vanguard has three battalions of Bu, Cavalry, and Shenji under its command, totaling more than 60,000 men. Do you have any objections?"

When Li Tai said this, all the generals in the tent were a little surprised. It is true that Lin San won the battle in Shandong, but how can the White Lotus Sect be compared with the fierce Turks? Lin San may have a way of suppressing the bandits, but he has no experience in fighting the barbarians, so he gave him the position of right-wing vanguard as soon as he came up. Is this appropriate

"Marshal, Zongcai thinks this move needs to be discussed." The young general hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Although Mr. Lin is well-known and has made great military exploits in Shandong, the Hu people are not from the White Lotus Sect. Teaching is not the same. The right path is a sharp knife for our army. It must be exploited in advance and defended in retreat. It is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the barbarian warfare. In this regard, Mr. Lin still lacks experience. Zongcai thinks, Please ask Mr. Lin to be a right-wing vanguard officer and deputy general staff first, and if you have military exploits in the future, it will not be too late to be promoted."

What the young general said made some sense. Lin San led his troops to destroy Bailian, which was a great achievement in the eyes of outsiders. But in the eyes of these frontier generals who have been at war with the Hu people for many years, it is not worth mentioning.

Lin Wanrong vomited blood. Last time in Shandong, Xu Wei asked me to be a staff general. This time it was even better. This dude will also add an adverb in front of me. As the saying goes, a staff officer doesn't have a leader, and he doesn't fart loudly. I don't care if I am a right-wing vanguard officer, but don't think that I, Lin, are here to eat and drink. Fortunately, he is free and easy by nature, and he is used to being stared at by others, so he laughed a few times and didn't care much.

Lin Sandi's experience was really hard to convince the crowd. Most of the generals in the tent agreed with General Zongcai's opinion. Li Tai looked at a big red-faced man on his left and said, "Zuoqiu. You are the commander of the Left Route Army. Tell me about it."

This Zuoqiu was tall and tall. At forty years old, mature and experienced, when he heard Li Tai call his name, he clasped his fist firmly and said: "The last general has been with the Marshal for many years, and the Marshal's vision has never missed him. Brother Lin must have real skills, which is why the Marshal values him so much. But brother Zongcai's words are also reasonable. Brother Lin was young, and he became the commander of the right side. If you don't show some real skills, you will make the brothers look down upon you, and the commander will be embarrassed. Even Brother Lin himself, I'm afraid It's hard to fight a good battle because you're not stable in your heart. In the army, it's useless to say anything, and it depends on your real skills—Zuo is a Lu man, and he speaks rough and straight, so please don't blame Brother Lin." He clasped his fists at Lin Wanrong with a very serious expression It is hearty.

This Zuoqiu is a willful person, and speaks frankly. Lin Wanrong is good at plotting tricks, but he likes people like Zuoqiu in his own eyes. .Since I stand here, I entrust my life to everyone. If Brother Zuo is choked up with a few blunt words, you don’t need to say, I’ll piss myself and drown myself.”

This person was cunning, he would say anything when he reached the top of the mountain, Xu Zhiqing's pretty face blushed, and she cursed secretly in her heart.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, although these few words are vulgar, they are right to the taste of the generals, the army is depressed, and vulgar language is the seasoning of all the soldiers, seeing the newcomer General Lin being so kind, everyone agrees His estrangement gradually disappeared, and he felt a sense of intimacy.

Li Tai laughed for a while, and said to Xu Zhiqing: "Zhi'er, you are the brains of my hundreds of thousands of troops, what do you think of this right commander?"

Ms. Xu raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lin Wanrong: "This newcomer is indeed inexperienced in fighting barbarians, but I have also heard that he has a lot of clever tricks. Now the army is about to start, The right-wing vanguard officer has been pending, where can I find such a candidate? Why don't we just let him go and order him-"

"Marshal, Miss Xu," the general Zongcai's expression suddenly changed, and he clasped his fists to interrupt Xu Zhiqing's words: "The last general, Zongcai, has the courage to ask for orders, and is willing to lead the army on the right to fight bloody battles with the enemy. Please allow the Marshal and Miss Xu to agree. "

Xu Zhiqing let out a soft sigh, glanced at Lin San, but did not speak.

After struggling for a long time, Lin Wanrong finally understood that this general named Yu Zongcai had high ambitions and wanted to pull Lin San down as the commander-in-chief of the right. Seeing that General Yu is not very old, he is full of vigor and looks, and he doesn't know how capable he is.

Don't be an embroidered pillow, Lin Wanrong smiled nastily. Although he was discussing her appointment right now, he was the most relaxed mind because he didn't have high hopes.

Li Tai fought in the battlefield all his life, so he knew that everyone would not accept Lin San. Although he could use his prestige to force the appointment, it would be very unfair to everyone and Lin San.

"Zongcai, you are from a family of generals, and you are the deputy commander of the left side. You are excellent in martial arts and military art. As a vanguard officer on the right side, this commander has indeed considered you." Li Tai nodded and smiled, and said to Lin Wanrong: " As for Lin San, he is able to lead his troops well, and the three armies serve his orders, his mind is even more flexible, and he is known for his ingenuity. You two have your own strengths, which really puts me in a difficult position."

He pondered for a while. Smiling to Xu Zhiqing: "Since that's the case, Zhi'er, you can come up with a question to test the two of them, and ask everyone in the account to be a judge, and whoever answers well will be the pioneer on the right."

This method is good, compete on the basis of real ability, and judge by everyone, it is fair and just. The generals nodded in agreement.

"It's better not to." Lin Wanrong smiled modestly: "I am not a specialist in leading troops to fight, and I have never thought about being a right-wing pioneer. When I was in Shandong, I led the grain and grass soldiers. This time Go north, give me a few fireheads, and I will be satisfied."

Everyone laughed. A few careful people heard different meanings. They only said that it was easy for Lin San to beat the White Lotus Sect, but they never thought that he would win by escorting the old, weak and remnants of the grain and grassland. Such a big victory is extraordinary. This seemingly inadvertent remark was a wake-up call to everyone. Zuoqiu looked at him appreciatively.

"What's the excuse? If you don't have self-confidence in being a human being, how can you let others rest assured that you will hand over their lives to you?" Xu Zhiqing snorted slightly, and she didn't know who she was talking to. Li Tai glanced at her fiercely, Xu Zhiqing hurriedly lowered her head, her face dizzy.

"Zhi'er, have you thought of a way to think about it?" Li Tai smiled.

Ms. Xu pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "I can't say it's a consideration, but I'm still a little confused in the field drills these days, and I want to discuss it with the generals. Marshal. Brother Yu, brothers. And the new general , please come with me."

"The new general"? ! What is this called? ! Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, that girl Xu Zhiqing was trying to embarrass me on purpose.

Seeing him walking behind the crowd sullenly, Li Tai took a few steps behind and patted him on the shoulder: "Lin San, what's wrong with Zhi'er? Didn't you get along very well when you went to Shandong?"

"Old general, don't talk nonsense, I have a wife—" Lin Wanrong smiled.

Li Tai was furious. I patted him on the head: "What nonsense, do you have a wife Guan Zhi'er? Let me tell you. She is my own daughter. If you dare to bully her, I will be promoted to the commander-in-chief camp and get you done."

This old man is gray-haired, calm and majestic, the years have carved countless frosts on his face, but there is always a stubborn energy of not admitting defeat, which is heartbreaking. Such a loyal and upright person is the backbone of Dahua Metro. Lin Wanrong respects him sincerely, but he feels affectionate after being hit twice: "Old General, there is one thing I want to discuss with you, about Li Wuling—"

"This kid, did you come to be your lobbyist?" Li Tai smiled helplessly, but there was a strong sense of expectation and pride in his eyes.

"I'm not a lobbyist." Lin Wanrong looked serious: "I was just thinking, what kind of Li Wuling is what we all want to see-a Taiping Marquis, or a famous general through the ages? Old general, have you thought about it? "

Li Tai's eyes flashed, this sentence seemed to hit the bottom of his heart. He was silent for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "This kid is good at picking someone. It is unparalleled in the world to ask you to be a lobbyist. As long as you convince Zhi'er, let him go, and I can't control him anymore."

Li Tai walked forward slowly for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, with an old look on his face: "Lin San, you must train him—even if he dies in battle, he can't dishonor my Li family's reputation."

Li Tai's back gradually drifted away, Lin Wanrong was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had caught a hot potato. If you want to become the accusation of Dahua, your reputation will be ruined once. Damn, I've been fooled by this kid, he cursed bitterly.

When they caught up with Xu Zhiqing and the others, the generals had already stopped, standing on top of the built tower, looking down. Dust and smoke billowed in the distance, and the battle between infantry and cavalry was very fierce. The cavalry led by Xu Zhen was the leader, and there were about five thousand of them.

It was used as an infantry defense, but there were several troops and horses. The same formation that was originally formed was very neat, but when Xu Zhen's cavalry charged, it became scattered in an instant. Only one of the roads had a stable formation and fought fiercely with Xu Zhen's cavalry. Everyone could see clearly that the only way to persist was the formation led by Du Xiuyuan. Xu Zhen and Du Xiuyuan were both brought out by Lin Wanrong, and everyone couldn't help being surprised.

"Everyone, please look," Xu Zhiqing sighed, "I have already practiced this battalion battle formation countless times, and the soldiers have also kept it in mind. Everyone has trained hard, but the actual combat results are unsatisfactory."

Yu Zongcai watched carefully for a long time before he said cautiously, Miss Xu, brother

The brothers are also proficient in this method of battle formation, and their positions and steps are all on the ground. It's just that when the formation changes and moves, they always lose sight of one thing and miss the other, and get out of balance, which gives the opponent's cavalry an opportunity to take advantage of. "

"Brother Yu is absolutely right." Miss Xu nodded in praise, Yu Zongcai looked delighted, and secretly took a look at Xu Zhiqing. He pretended to turn his head inadvertently.

"This new general, what's your opinion?" Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was silent, Xu Zhiqing asked with a calm expression. Zuoqiu and the others understood in their hearts that the real consideration had begun.

Lin Wanrong didn't know much about the transformation of battalions and formations. After watching for a long time, he only saw one problem. He suddenly laughed: "Miss Xu, this place is full of infantry and cavalry training, why don't you practice ladder siege?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and even Li Tai was stunned and speechless. This Lin Sanzhen can do it ignorantly. Fighting the barbarians, the grasslands and deserts stretch as far as the eye can see, where to attack the city? The infantry training battalion and cavalry training are all set up for the Turkic people. What are the siege drills for

Why is this man talking out of bounds? Miss Xu was angry and annoyed, seeing him standing beside her shaking his head, wishing to kick him off the wall, she hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't make a move.

Miss Xu glared at Lin San angrily, Yu Zongcai was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "General Lin probably has never been to the border. The endless desert grassland beyond the Great Wall is full of desolation, and the barbarians were born on horseback. They usually live in tents. Station and go. How can we have a city to attack?"

"If you don't take the city, you won't be performing a siege?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Xu, don't you think there is something missing in your formation?"

This person didn't tell a lie when he encountered a serious matter, Xu Zhiqing was shocked: "What's missing?"

"In the formation practiced by hundreds of people and thousands of people, you are missing one of the most deadly things, called coordination and trust." Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said to Li Tai: "Marshal, please pass on Du Xiuyuan, and bring twenty more brothers over here."

"Coordination and trust?" These two words are not difficult to understand, and everyone pondered for a while. Reminiscent of Lin San's mention of the rehearsal of the siege, he suddenly had some clues.

"I've seen the commander. I've seen General Lin." Du Xiuyuan's face was covered with dust and gray stains, but his expression was extremely excited. Behind him were a dozen or so people, all of whom were veterans who Lin Wanrong had led in Shandong.

"Brother Du, the outward bound training method I taught you, are you still practicing?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.

Du Xiuyuan nodded hastily: "That's natural. To tell you the truth, the general, when the brothers usually practice, the most favorite thing is the outreach training you advocate."

"Okay." Lin Wanrong smiled: "Then set up a ladder first, and let you brothers have a look."

What outward bound training? What ladder? Everyone was confused, the few people Du Xiuyuan brought came empty-handed, why the ladder

"Decree!" Du Xiuyuan's expression straightened, and he waved his big hand: "Build the ladder!"

It was too late to say, but soon, dozens of people behind Du Xiuyuan sprinted to the bottom of the city, two people formed a group, stretched out their hands together and squatted on the ground, the third person jumped up quickly, and stepped on the wrists of those two people. The two trio quickly approached, squatting down together, and another rushed forward, stepping on the wrists of the top two. In this way, a pyramid shape is formed, with four people at the bottom, two people in the middle, and one person at the top.

The seven soldiers roared fiercely, and raised their wrists at the same time. The person on top trembled and grew taller, reaching almost two feet, and he could touch the temporary city wall with his hand.

It turned out to be such a ladder, all the generals were shocked, this is like building a tower, everyone has to be willing to build a brick, so harmonious and unified, and then practice the formation, it is difficult to think of success.

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin San, only to see that his expression was calm, he didn't speak or smile, as if he was used to it.

Du Xiuyuan nodded, and suddenly shouted: "Attention, fall—"

An unbelievable scene appeared. Hearing Du Xiuyuan's password, a sergeant on the top of the pyramid had no fear on his face.

The generals were shocked, and before they could shout out, eight sergeants quickly inserted into the back row, stretched out their hands together to form a bridge, and lightly and naturally caught the companion who fell from above. The two sergeants on the second floor followed suit, fell straight down, and were caught again. In such a rotation, everyone will be on the top of the tower once, leaving life and death to their companions.

"What a ladder to attack the city, what an outreach training." Everyone was so shocked that they left their backs to their comrades. This is the highest level of trust. I don't know how Lin San came up with this method. Absolutely nothing.

"Brother Lin, I have your land." Zuoqiu happily patted Lin Wanrong on the shoulder, his expression full of admiration.

"Laughing and laughing, making a fuss." Lin Wanrong was giggling, and with a serious face just now, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It will make trouble." Ms. Xu snorted, turned her head away, her pretty face was hot, her eyelids drooped, and there was an incomprehensible tenderness in her eyes
