"Soldiers, you are all elites of the border army and the backbone of the Shaanxi-Gansu border defense! The Imperial Envoy has given you the most generous salaries and the best soldiers and armors. He has high hopes for you! Now, Ningxia and Yulin have Some generals in the town refused to obey the military orders of the Imperial Envoy, and did not take the Imperial Envoy seriously at all! In anger, the Imperial Envoy ordered our new soldiers to attack them!
Soldiers, this is our opportunity to repay the imperial envoy! This is also our chance to prove ourselves! This is still our chance to reap military glory! After we joined the new warrior army, many people were jealous of our treatment, but this time we have to show them that our new warrior army is fully worthy of the generous salary! We also want to let the Imperial Envoy know that the hard work and money he invested are not in vain! Those border troops who refuse to obey military orders are nothing to fear compared with our new army of soldiers! We are the strongest and most elite army in Shaanxi and Gansu! "
In the training ground, He Zhang shouted loudly.
He Zhang was indeed good at boosting morale. Under his instigation, the officers and soldiers of the new fighting army became very eager to fight, and many of them responded loudly with their weapons raised.
Then, under the leadership of He Zhang, tens of thousands of soldiers from the new Zhanbing Army knelt down on one knee, paid military salutes to Zhao Junchen, and shouted in unison: "Invincible in battle! Invincible in battle! Invincible in battle!" Unbeatable!"
The momentum is astonishing, soaring into the sky!
To be honest, tens of thousands of soldiers saluted and shouted loudly, and everyone looked at Zhao Junchen with burning eyes. All of this reminded Zhao Junchen at all times that the powerful army in front of him was the power in his own hands. Following his own will, anyone who dares to be his enemy will be crushed by this army!
A man cannot live without power for a day. Power is a man's aphrodisiac. This feeling of having power and controlling everything is really intoxicating.
Zhao Junchen in particular is no exception.
After all, such military power has always been what Zhao Junchen has been pursuing!
However, while Zhao Junchen was secretly intoxicated, a trace of disappointment also flashed through his heart.
To be honest, I am used to seeing the neat military appearance of modern armies of later generations, but when I see these ancient armies in front of me, I will inevitably feel a little disappointed.
After ten days of running-in, the new warrior army was already a qualified and powerful army in He Zhang's eyes.
In fact, He Zhang was limited by his vision and knowledge, and his standards for a strong army were pitifully low. As long as the soldiers knew the generals and the generals knew the soldiers, all the soldiers would fight bravely, could resolutely execute military orders, and also have sophisticated military equipment. Armor and a certain number of horses and firearms are enough to be called a strong army!
As for the soldiers' formation pace, service coordination, strict military discipline, military appearance and temperament, and changes in offensive and defensive formations on the battlefield, etc., they were not taken seriously in this era!
In this era, in the eyes of most generals, the so-called war means leading a swarm of troops to charge, breaking through the enemy's defense line with a bloody spirit, and that's it!
And He Zhang trained his troops according to the standards in his mind!
Nowadays, He Zhang thinks that the new war soldiers have reached the standard of a strong army. For this era, the new war soldiers have indeed barely reached the standards of a strong army. But for Zhao Junchen, who is used to seeing the modern armies of later generations. In general, the new army of soldiers in front of us is still a rabble!
There are too many flaws in all aspects, just look at their chaotic formation, chaotic shouting, and slow reaction speed.
However, despite being disappointed, Zhao Junchen did not force more!
Zhao Junchen had long known that in just ten days, it would be impossible for this army to meet the requirements of future generations of modern armies! Moreover, these veterans of the new army are not the excellent sources of soldiers needed to train a modern army.
But as long as this army can meet He Zhang's requirements, it will be enough!
After all, Zhao Junchen had also seen with his own eyes the combat power and performance of the Mongolian elite, and it was also unsightly!
The military strength of Mongolia declined, and the military strength of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army also declined. In a certain respect, the war between the Shaanxi-Gansu frontier army and the Mongolian army was a war of mutual inferiority, so Zhao Junchen's battle against the new army was The requirement is "not too bad", preferably a little stronger than the Mongols, that's all!
Therefore, although Zhao Junchen was disappointed in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he nodded to the people around him and said: "General He's training is indeed very effective! In his hands, the new army has indeed become a strong army. !”
Around Zhao Junchen, Wu Qifan, Zheng Jiadong, Li Ruan, Guan Wuyuan and others were all on the list.
They did not have Zhao Junchen's knowledge from later generations. They only saw the army's high fighting spirit, brave soldiers, and well-equipped armor, but they were all shocked.
In fact, based on these points alone, no army among the Shaanxi-Gansu border army can compare with the new war soldiers!
Apart from being shocked, they all also showed joy on their faces.
Wu Qifan first congratulated Zhao Junchen: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! With this strong army, we will definitely be able to resist this year's fire-swept invaders!"
Zheng Jiadong also nodded repeatedly and said: "The soldiers are brave, the soldiers are well prepared, the fighting spirit is high, and the majesty is soaring into the sky. Such a strong army is indeed rare, and it may not be weaker than the Mongolian elite!"
At the same time, Guan Wuyuan looked a little ugly. Although he was not a "famous general of the Forbidden Army", he still had some discernment. After witnessing the performance of the new soldiers, he thought that the elite of the Forbidden Army might not be able to compare with them. It was inevitable that Some have mixed feelings.
While everyone was talking, He Zhang led the military attachés from each battalion of the new army to the high platform and took over the military order from Zhao Junchen.
This time, the new troops were divided into two groups, marching to Ningxia and Yulin respectively, with He Zhang as the main general, Mao Jiadong and Liu Manniu as deputy generals, mainly the firearms team, the cavalry battalion, and the first infantry battalion. , went to attack Yulin South Road; the other route, with Zhang Cheng as the main general and Li Pi as deputy general, mainly the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Battalions, went to attack the Ningxia Middle Road.
Because Yulin South Road is farther away and the enemy is stronger, most of the elite of the new Zhanbing Army are concentrated under He Zhang.
Zhao Junchen handed them the military orders with a serious face and gave them a few words of encouragement. Then he walked to the front of the high platform and shouted to the tens of thousands of soldiers of the new army: "Soldiers, I'm ready." Military merits and silver rewards are waiting here for news of your victorious return!"
As Zhao Junchen's shouts fell, the soldiers of the new army responded loudly again: "We must win! We must win! We must win!"
In Huamachi Camp, the sound shook the eardrums and echoed continuously.
On the city wall of Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen watched the two new armies leaving in the east and west directions, but he did not feel any worry in his heart.
In Zhao Junchen's view, the opponents that the new soldiers will encounter this time are not strong enemies. The task is just to practice in battle and further strengthen their running-in.
The outcome has already been decided, and what really worries people is whether they can complete the task within the deadline.
Zhao Junchen knew very well that the preparation time left for Shaanxi and Gansu was getting less and less!
And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking deeply, he saw Niu Fude running over in a hurry, with a slightly anxious expression, and whispered to Zhao Junchen: "Mr. Zhao, there is news from the border defense that the Mongols seem to be making big moves!"
For a moment, Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed, he turned around and walked quickly towards the Governor's Mansion, saying, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
