Chapter 146 Military Selection
After a long discussion, no suitable solution could be found.
Putting the war aside, Ling Yunxiao thought about solving the problem from the root first.
That is, to train soldiers, boost morale, and then make a concerted effort to recapture the city and defeat the enemy.
Yes, morale is indispensable.
If his soldiers are all brave and good at fighting, he will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort on the battlefield.
Knowing that the soldiers have almost recovered, Ling Yunxiao is preparing to have a capability competition before the next battle.
Originally, after the new recruits had completed their training, they would compete with each other in order to select a sergeant for easier management.
This was also the purpose at the moment, but Chu Yunxiao was different from the previous general. He put it openly and expanded the scale, not just choosing sergeants.
The new recruits had already received news about the competition in the military camp.
The camp competition began the day after the news came.
That morning, the centurion first selected two sergeants from among his own soldiers.
Because of the war, these new recruits were listless and had gloomy faces all day long. Their minds were full of thoughts about when they would actually go into battle. Not many wanted to compete for the position of sergeant.
When the competition started, among the new recruits, thousands of centurions each led their own soldiers and began to select.
Because of the enemy’s night attack last time, some of the centurion’s soldiers were still in good numbers, while some had their formation reduced.
The competition, as usual, was held at a free location, and the final result was reported by the centurion.
Jiang Yue's group, led by Li Niu, started the competition.
The rules of the game are that two people fight against each other, and the winners fight again. The two people finally selected will be the squad leaders.
In addition to Li Niu, there were nine other people in Jiang Yue's group. Needless to say, without fighting, Li Niu chose Jiang Yue as the squad leader.
Choose another person, and in the end, Li Niu unexpectedly chose Wu Fei.
After the selection of the sergeant was completed, Li Niu originally thought that the competition was over.
Unexpectedly, the general ordered all sergeants to gather at the training ground to prepare for the next round of competition, and the rest of the soldiers continued their training for the next day.
The ten captains and others did not dare to disobey and obeyed his orders.
All the sergeants gathered in the training ground, waiting for the general's speech.
Ling Yunxiao directly ordered the two thousand sergeants to compete with each other again.
The corporal is here.
There was a lot of noise in the training ground.
Before the competition began, the noise stopped abruptly as soon as the drums sounded and Ling Yunxiao arrived.
He stood up and spoke loudly:
"Soldiers, cheer up for this general. We are going to have a martial arts competition to liven up the atmosphere. The top scorers will have the opportunity to be valued by this general!"
After the words were spoken, the soldiers cheered selectively.
Ling Yunxiao couldn't help but reflect on himself. These soldiers had no ambition at all.
Suddenly, a sneer was heard. At the side, Major General Xia Yuanchen looked at the soldiers with disdain.
"Look at what kind of soldiers you have recruited."
After he finished speaking, the faces of the generals who followed him, including Deputy General Zhang Yan and Wang Quan, froze for a moment.
I thought to myself, if you have the ability, go ahead and recruit.
Ling Yunxiao only glanced at Xia Yuanchen, thought for a moment, and added,
"For the top 100, the military pay will be doubled, and the pension will also be doubled!"
This time, as soon as he said this, the soldiers who originally had low morale all raised their hands and cheered, and the place was suddenly filled with noise.
Doubling the military pay is undoubtedly the biggest temptation for them.
The pension is doubled, so even if you die, your family will be protected.
Anyway, they all wanted to give it a try for the doubled military pay.
Xia Yuanchen looked at the soldiers who were eager to try.
"Brother Ling, these methods alone cannot improve the true strength of the soldiers."
Ling Yunxiao shook his head.
"This competition is intended to inspire their fighting spirit. How about you choose the candidates for this competition?"
"Me?" Xia Yuanchen shook his head.
"How can they be my opponent?"
Ling Yunxiao: "Don't be too absolute, you may meet your match."
"I hope so." Xia Yuanchen really had no interest in this. He just wanted to lead his troops to capture the city.
Seeing him like this, Ling Yunxiao turned to look at his deputy general, "Zhang Yan, you go!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yan nodded, and just as he was about to go on stage, Major General Xia Yuanchen held his shoulder.
"Brother Ling, since you said so, I can't let you down. I will be in charge of the selection of new recruits this time."
After saying that, he leaped a few steps and arrived at the center of the training ground.
"The game begins. Whoever can last three moves in my hands will be the winner!"
After watching it, Ling Yunxiao let him go. He was only responsible for watching the fight. It was difficult for a new recruit to even master one move, let alone three.
Three moves? After hearing this, the sergeants began to get excited.
Therefore, as soon as Xia Yuanchen finished speaking, a new recruit trotted to stand opposite Xia Yuanchen for the double salary.
The soldier was tall and strong, and the calluses on his palms showed that he had touched a knife before.
As the soldier entered, the surrounding soldiers formed a circle around the major general and the soldier.
Jiang Yue, Wu Fei and Li Niu were crowded in the team of new recruits at this moment. After hearing this, they were just waiting for a fight.
Li Niu was secretly shocked.
"Jiang Yue, I can't even defeat you, let alone that major general."
Wu Fei: "Captain, why are you here to watch the battle instead of going to the training? Aren't you afraid of the captain's punishment?"
"They practiced very well on their own." Li Niu really wanted to see Jiang Yue compete.
At this time, Xue Wen came over and disagreed: "Who said Jiang Yue..."
"Xue Wen!" Jiang Yue stopped Xue Wen from speaking.
Xia Yuanchen only raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and said in a light tone: "Make a move."
The soldier on the opposite side raised his hand and punched him.
The first one to come on stage was a man of great courage and he was not a coward. He had been the overlord in the village before.
When he swung at him, Xia Yuanchen turned aside for a moment and took the blow casually.
Seeing that the soldier still had some strength, he did not kill him with one move. With the last move, he knocked him into the crowd with a palm.
"pass!"
These two simple words instantly changed the soldier's face, which had just been depressed by defeat.
Seeing this, Ling Yunxiao stood up and said:
"Ten people, go ahead!"
"Twenty people together!" Xia Yuanchen corrected.
Just as he said, twenty people came on the field without any fear.
The fight started, twenty people punched at the same time and rushed towards Xia Yuanchen.
Xia Yuanchen just twisted his body and teleported, and they couldn't find his position.
Twenty people were in a trance and finally rushed towards him...
The scene was not that intense. Being able to be elected as sergeant showed that these twenty people had some ability. But in a short while, only one of them was left under Xia Yuanchen.
The last person left stood together with the first person to come on stage.
"Keep going!"
Xia Yuanchen spoke loudly, with a proud tone in his voice.
In the crowd, Xue Wen took a few steps and came to the opposite side of Xia Yuanchen.
Soon, another twenty people gathered.
Facing the major general, Xue Wen was not afraid at all.
Jiang Yue, Wu Fei and Li Niu were all watching.
Li Niu knew that Xue Wen and Jiang Yue were very close, so he naturally wanted to know his strength.
Just like the last round, within three moves, Xia Yuanchen knocked all nineteen people down...
