Chapter 76 Recruits

Chapter 76 Recruits
"Where is the general?" After killing the archers, Shao Xun shouted with his sword in hand.

"The general is here!" Soldiers gathered towards him one after another, and their voices had never been so loud and uniform.

"Kill the bandits!" Shao Xun rushed into the middle of several stupid enemy soldiers and continued to create a bloody storm.

"Kill the bandits!" The generals rushed forward bravely, everyone vying for the first place, their emotions were completely aroused.

Wherever the golden-armored warriors went, the enemy troops fled and were unable to withstand a single blow.

Occasionally, there were people who wanted to resist, but when they saw the high-spirited and ferocious-looking generals behind the golden-armored warriors, they would lose their courage and turn away.

The generals were like a hammer. Wherever they hit, the enemies would scatter and no longer form a formation.

The entire camp was in chaos, completely stunned by the sudden attack.

An enemy general shouted loudly and hurriedly gathered hundreds of people to prepare to go up and resist.

He had seen clearly that the invading enemy was not numerous, only one or two hundred people. Even though they were all brave and in high spirits, they had fought for so long that their swords were blunt, their armor was damaged, and their strength must have been consumed. As long as he could hold out for a while, his own soldiers would come to their senses and gather more and more, and then he could restrain them and prevent them from rushing around and killing indiscriminately.

By that time, the millstone will have worn them to death.

Nice idea, but unrealistic.

"Kill!" A deafening roar came from outside the camp gate, and He Lun, Wang Bing and others rushed in with the main force.

The courage that the enemy soldiers had just mustered quickly disappeared.

"Run!"

"Defeat, defeat!"

"Break out to the east!"

"Take me away, my leg is injured."

"Have mercy, I surrender."

The rout was instantaneous, and no Ye soldier wanted to stay and fight. Everyone rushed forward, fearing that they would be left behind by their own people. The camp gate was even crowded, just like the west gate in the Mingtang that was filled with corpses.

As expected, the Kingdom Army took advantage of this chaos. They lined up in formation at a leisurely pace, stabbing with spears and firing with bows, easily taking the lives of the enemies.

The outcome of the battle is obvious.

"Raise the spear and stab!" Wang Que'er's childish voice rang out on the battlefield.

"Kill!" The spear stabbed out continuously, blood splattered, and screams continued.

"Thrust the gun and stab!" Wang Que'er's voice continued to sound.

"Kill!" Fifty coolies from Luoyang of the seventh team of the Wang Guojun stabbed out with their spears for the second time, killing and wounding a large number of Ye soldiers again.

If you observe their faces carefully, you will find an interesting phenomenon.

Most of these fifty new recruits who had only trained for half a year were very nervous.

Someone was yelling "Kill" but his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and the gun he thrust out was a little weak.

Someone opened his mouth wide but couldn't make any sound. He clenched the gun barrel tightly with both hands, his knuckles turned white and water was almost coming out of them.

Some people moved stiffly, relying entirely on the muscle memory developed from daily beatings, and mechanically thrust out their spears.

Some people had their heads and faces splattered with the enemy's blood. They were so scared that they shouted and stabbed forward with their spears.

Fortunately, the enemy is in a state of collapse.

Otherwise, this group of people would become a laughing stock and it is not impossible that they would be killed by others.

"Stretch the spear and stab!" This was not the first time that Wang Que'er went to the battlefield and he was very strong-willed. At this moment, he kept giving orders and shooting with the spear like a dragon, but he was not affected at all.

"Kill!" The coolies from Luoyang thrust out their spears, then immediately put them away. Before receiving the next order, they moved forward in small steps with their spears in hand.

"Raise your gun and stab!" the command sounded again.

"Kill!" The roar was like thunder, and a large number of Ye soldiers crowded at the door fell to the ground.

"Rustle..." The military boots stepped over the corpses, stepped through the pool of blood, and continued to move forward.

"Thrust the gun, stab!"

So again and again.

The recruits gradually got over their initial tension. After the adrenaline surged, the stiffness of their bodies was greatly relieved and their killing efficiency increased rapidly.

The Ye soldiers who fell behind were quickly slaughtered.

Others threw away their armor and weapons and ran for their lives just to run faster.

It took only half an hour for more than 3,000 people from the time they were suddenly attacked to their complete collapse.

The kingdom's army gave a symbolic pursuit and killed a hundred or so unlucky guys before returning to camp to clean up the battlefield.

They have no cavalry and can't catch up.

A person who is running away can throw away everything that is in the way, but you can't.

The person who is running away can run as fast as he can without caring about the formation, but you can't. You have to stop and reorganize while chasing the person.

To pursue the remaining enemies and expand the results of the battle, we still have to rely on cavalry.

"Sima!" After the battle, Chen Yougen, covered in blood, came back from the city gate and reported: "Five brothers were killed in the battle, and more than ten were injured. All the bandits were killed, and I cut off their heads."

"Is your injury serious?" Shao Xun was sitting in a car and Wu Qian was bandaging his wounds.

"I'm afraid one or two of them may not make it, but the others will be able to come back after being taken care of for a while." Chen Yougen replied.

"Not bad." Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The veterans who returned from injury were very valuable assets.

The members of the teaching team are all warriors with outstanding skills. They usually serve as Shao Xun's personal soldiers, so it is very painful for them to die.

"Master Shao, two people in our team were killed and seven were injured." Wang Que'er also came over and reported.

"Who died?" Shao Xun asked.

"Recruit."

"Not bad." Shao Xun said in an inaudible voice.

There will be casualties in a great victory, this is unavoidable. As long as the casualties are not student soldiers, Luoyang has as many coolies as needed.

"How did your team play? Tell me the truth, don't hide anything, and don't exaggerate." Shao Xun said again.

Wang Que'er thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, they were very nervous. Some even forgot to thrust their spears and stabbed. Some trembled all over and could not exert any strength, so their stabbings were weak and powerless. Some were so scared that they did not listen to orders and stabbed randomly. But after a few rounds of stabbing, the situation improved. Later on, it became much smoother."

"You are lucky." Shao Xun said something very strange.

Chen Yougen grinned and said, "I'm lucky. This is the first time I go to the battlefield and I'm fighting a battle that's going my way."

Wang Que'er did not refute.

If today was a field battle where both sides were well prepared, it would be hard to say about other teams, but the fifty men under his command would probably suffer heavy casualties.

There was no other reason. The new recruits were too nervous, and some of them couldn't hear the commands or see the flags because their heads were buzzing.

Some people don't know how to allocate their energy properly, and they run out of strength while fighting.

There are even people who stab randomly with their eyes closed, which is really speechless.

Such performance can only make one sigh.

Fortunately, these soldiers are relatively honest and obedient. They can endure hardships during training and have no complaints when being beaten with sticks. We just need to summarize the experience and do targeted training when we return.

After going to the battlefield and seeing blood, the new recruits will also undergo some inexplicable changes on a psychological level.

The next time you fight someone, the situation will be much better.

In short, all new soldiers have to go through this. The faster they adapt, the easier it is to survive.

When these new recruits can face the bloody battlefield with a relatively calm attitude and perform to the best of their training level, they will become veterans.

If they had fought in more battles, gained more experience, won more battles, and developed the pride and confidence to win, then they could be called a powerful force.

By this time, the army had become powerful and would not be easily defeated.

It is not easy to build a strong team from scratch, but once you succeed, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment.

And their loyalty will be very high, because you are the founder of this unit, and you have been involved in the whole process when the soldiers were still rookies, leading them to the top step by step. You have too many common memories with them, and have established your own prestige.

You are their god, a father figure. As long as you live, no one dares to oppose you.

If you die, your descendants may still benefit from it. As for whether they can suppress those arrogant and powerful generals, it depends on their ability. Anyway, it is difficult to control them as you do. This is the "highest authority" that belongs only to the creator.

"Take me to see them." Shao Xun slapped Wu Qian's hand away, bandaged his wound roughly, and came to the seventh team of soldiers accompanied by Wang Que'er.

They were carrying the corpse and when they heard the command, they immediately stood still.

This is a conditioned reflex, the result of countless beatings with sticks and whips in the training ground.

Shao Xun looked at a soldier with blood on his body and asked, "Have you killed anyone?"

The man looked a little dull and stupid, and didn't react for a moment.

"I'm asking you a question!" Chen Yougen hit him with the scabbard.

The man reacted immediately and shouted, "Killed one person."

"How does it feel?" Shao Xun asked.

"It seems... not difficult." The man answered with difficulty.

Everyone laughed. What kind of words were these?

Shao Xun patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you nervous when you kill someone?"

This person actually recalled it carefully, and after a while he said, "I forgot."

Everyone laughed again.

Shao Xun pulled another person next to him and asked, "It's your first time in a fight. Are you afraid?"

The man hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "At first I wanted to pee, and in my heart I wanted to thrust the gun, but I couldn't breathe, and my hands and feet were out of control, so I couldn't stab."

"and after?"

"Then one of the thieves slipped and hit the tip of my gun, and died. Suddenly I was able to breathe again, and then I killed another person."

No one laughed at him this time.

He can kill two people, can you?

Everyone started out as a recruit, so his performance was actually pretty good. After all, few people were as brave as Shao Sima.

Shao Xun then focused on questioning more than ten student soldiers and officers from the Seventh Team, and only felt relieved after understanding their conditions.

The sixteen officers above the rank of sergeant in the Seventh Team are all student soldiers, and the soldiers are all relatively ignorant market laborers who are unskilled in the ways of the world. This is the troop under his control.

After this battle, perhaps we can try to form a second or even a third team.
