Chapter 79 New Attached Army
Zhang Erben stood straight with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the crooked new soldiers standing in front of him with cold eyes. His nose gasped and looked contemptuous.
"To tell you honestly, these bastards, you have remembered it for me today. The most comfortable day for you is yesterday. As long as you still have a tone, you have to practice well for me!
You all look at the team you are standing in. Is this a person standing up? Even pigs can't stand like this! And look at yourselves, haven't you eaten one by one? I'm dejected, and it makes me angry! Now in order to punish your rotten dishes and let you have a longer memory, you have it! Listen to my orders! Run around the camp. If anyone falls behind me, just get out of here!
Run... Let's go!"
A group of soldiers who had just run two laps almost lay on the ground when they heard this order, but they had nothing to say, because their team generals did not run one step less than them. Since the officials have run like this, what else do they have?
After arriving here, they knew that what Marshal Xiao said that day was not a lie. It was not an easy job to eat military food in the Xing Tianjun. The day after they entered the camp, these Xing Tianjun soldiers took over their drills. First, the old, weak, sick and disabled among the generals were cleared out, and then cleaned up in a few days. After this clean-up, there were less than 2,000 people left in the more than 4,000 people brought by the tile jar, and these two thousand people were all scattered and mixed with some prisoners captured from Yidou Valley and the strong prisoners in the officers and soldiers, and began to hell. Like a drill.
It was not until this time that they experienced the pain of Xing Tianjun's practice. Every day before dawn, these wolf-like generals blew a sharp bamboo whistle and took them out of the hot quilt. With the piercing cold wind, they began to run around the camp. They ran quickly before returning to the camp. However, it was followed by the line training over and over again. Some officers came to preach to them every day, asking them why they wanted to be soldiers, and telling them why they were forced to rebel. They finally had a meal. Before the rice bowl was left, the bamboo whistle sounded again, and then pulled them. Repeated drill queues on the school field...
Even at night, it doesn't stop. There are bonfires in the camp, and all the tired soldiers like dead dogs have to surround the bonfires. They talk about their family background and their sufferings one by one. It is called the memory of bitterness and sweetness. Even after sleeping, sometimes in the middle of the night, these spirits The generals with unlimited strength will still suddenly blow the bamboo whistle, drive them out of the barracks one by one, line up on the school yard, do an emergency meeting at night, pull out and run around the camp. When they return to the barracks, it will be almost dawn again.
These soldiers of the newly attached army really can't figure it out. These generals of the Xingtian Army seem to have endless energy. How can they toss them up? They are so interested.
Fortunately, Xing Tianjun's food is very good. Officials never deduct their food. The miscellaneous noodles are full, and from time to time they will cook some salted horse meat soup for them to drink. Usually, there are also pickles and rice. Compared with the days when they used to hide in the mountains with the clapisles and have a hungry meal, at least they are eating. It's much better.
What makes them have nothing to say is that these team generals who care about them have never been lazy. No matter how far they run, how far the generals will follow, no less than them. When they practice, they also stand straight, also in such a cold winter, and They sweat like rain together, and soldiers are not afraid of hardships. After all, these people were basically tenants or farmers in the past. They have not been blessed since childhood. They all grew up with hardships. Although now they have become soldiers of the Xingtian Army, the boring training consumes a lot of physical energy every day, as long as they are full, these things can still survive. What's more, even their officers are doing these things like them. Naturally, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with them. Fairness is here for the first time.
What they didn't expect was that when they arrived here, they accidentally found that the officers, whether big or small, ate the same food as them. There was nothing special. The officers ate what they ate. Even the battalion general of the new attached army in the battalion now held a bowl every day and followed them. Eating and eating were unimaginable things in the past.
So after the panic of the first few days, the soldiers of the new affiliated army gradually adapted to this kind of life. Although they were trained hard, compared with the previous leisure days, the soldiers of the new affiliated army felt much more fuller and felt that these days were not as terrible as they thought. People practiced them and told them what to do and what not to do. Gradually, they also understood that being a soldier in the Xingtian Army was not just about eating and waiting to die.
With these awareness, when practicing again, these guys took the initiative a lot, and they no longer complained and lazily as they did at the beginning. In this way, the effect of training is much better.
Looking at these new recruits who were gasping and running in front like broken wind boxes, Zhang Erben smiled slightly behind the team. He used to be just an army commander of the war camp, but now he has jumped into a team general of the new attached army, which is equivalent to several levels in a row, but he was not willing to come here to bring these unruly new people at first. Soldiers, in his opinion, with 50 people here, it's not as happy as when he was in the barracks, only four people. There are wars in the barracks, and there are rewards to get, but here he can only look at a group of messy guys every day and sulk with them!
But after these days, he gradually began to fall in love with these guys. Although these guys had no rules at first, and they couldn't even distinguish between their left and right feet, the good thing was that these guys were very honest and didn't have many ideas. They could do whatever they did, just let them eat every day. Full meal. Although it's very hard to practice them, these guys rarely complain. After getting familiar with them, these days, these guys have made great progress. The running distance has also increased a lot, the queue has also taken shape, and the action has moved much faster, which reminds him of the time when he first entered the Xing Tianjun. The days of the new barracks.
Gradually polishing a group of guys who don't know anything into a decent soldier is also a good enjoyment for Zhang Erben. At least he has a sense of achievement. He doesn't think about returning to the original battalion now. Gradually, he begins to settle down and hang out with these guys. One day, he believes that through his hands, he will be able to polish these people into real soldiers of the Xingtian Army and take them to make achievements.
"Can you bastards hurry up? Do you still want to have dinner? If you keep squittering like this, I'm afraid it's dark when you run back! Come on, remember that we are in the same group, and no one can fall behind. If you really can't run, pull each other and let's go back together!" Zhang Erben put away his mind, accelerated his pace, and began to scold and urge these guys again.
At this time, they saw several horseback riding slowly galloping towards them. Zhang Erben's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that the horse that was originally sitting on the back of the leading horse was their "marty", so he hurriedly ran a few steps, came to the front of the queue, stopped his legs and saluted and shouted loudly, "Silit! See you, Marshal!"
The rest of the recruits stood up in a hurry and began to line up involuntarily. Some people even almost knelt down again, but under the reminder of others, they quickly straightened their legs, followed Zhang Erben to salute and shouted, "See the general..."
Xiao Tianjian returned a military salute to them on horseback. Since the clapids and the gang defected to him, his title has been upgraded to a general, and soon spread in the army, so that no matter who he sees him now, he is called the general, so he has to acquiesce to this title.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" After Xiao Tianjian put down his hand, he said to Zhang Erben and the group of recruits behind him with a smile.
Zhang Er didn't expect to meet Xiao Tianjian outside the camp at this time. He trembled with excitement, and his lips trembled and replied loudly, "It was for the commander-in-chief!" And the recruits behind him also secretly looked at the young general in front of him curiously and shouted with the same excitement, "It was the commander to die!"
Xiao Tianjian jumped off the war horse, patted Zhang Erben on the shoulder first, and asked his name. Zhang Erben excitedly reported his name and his current position.
Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I remember your name! And you new recruits, have been here for so many days. Are you still satisfied with being a soldier under a certain command?
When these recruits heard Xiao Tianjian asking them, they answered in a hurry. Some people were satisfied. Some people nodded nervously, but a new recruit of a younger grade boldly said boldly, "I'm the commander!" The food is very full, but it's too tired!"
Zhang Erben almost lost his breath and stared at the guy fiercely. He secretly gritted his teeth in his heart and made up his mind to clean up this unruly guy after going back.
But after hearing this, Xiao Tianjian walked to the little soldier, reached out and held the felt hat on his head for him, and pulled the neckline that he opened because it was too hot to run. He glanced at the recruits with a smile, and then said, "I know you are very hard, but this kind of hard work, in the future, you will all I will understand, it's worth it! Because we Xing Tianjun have an old saying that we sweat more at ordinary times and shed less blood in wartime. Although we have to fight with the officers and soldiers in the future, I don't think you are the ones who can sacrifice casually. I hope you can all live and see that one day we will overthrow the current court and return to our hometown. In your family, go and plant your own land in peace, give birth to children and pass on the family from generation to generation! That's why I let these officers train you like this! In order to make you live better in the future!
Besides, there is an old saying that if you don't suffer from hardships, it's rare to get a superior person? If you can't even bear this little pain, then you are willing to go back and work for a day like before, and you don't know what to do in the future! Do you want to eat and die? Little brother, don't you think so?
This soldier regretted as soon as he said what he just said, for fear of annoying the general. Once a pawn like him makes the general angry, isn't he the same as crushing an ant to death? I didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to be so approachable. He not only tied up his clothes and hat, but also talked to them like this. Suddenly, he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. His lips also trembled for a long time before he shouted excitedly, "I don't want to live that life anymore!" I'm still living a down-to-earth life here. The little one was the commander-in-chief! I will never complain again!"
Xiao Tianjian punched the soldier in the chest with a smile and laughed and said, "Okay! Well said! Since you are alive, you have to live like a human being! But don't always say that it's good or not. Remember, what you are doing now is also for yourself! Our good days in the future will be played out by your hands! I want you to live as much as possible in the future! Instead of dying! Do you remember it all?"
After listening to this, the recruits all straightened their chests and shouted, "Remember!"
Xiao Tianjian turned his head and ordered Zhang Erben, "Continue to practice!"
Zhang Erben was also happy at this moment. While responding loudly, he turned around and shouted, "Listen to everyone! Run!"
Dozens of recruits shouted and ran forward one by one. They could no longer see their fatigue, as if they were beating chicken blood one by one, and screaming strangely while running, as if they had endless strength at this moment.
(Thank you to the rewarding friends, your support is the driving force of my code! Thank you very much!)
