The Qin army system is to appoint generals before the battle. The total strength of the troops is determined based on the combat targets and other aspects. Then the King of Qin appoints the commander-in-chief of the three armies, who is the general.
Under the general, according to the total strength, there are several deputy generals, that is, generals.
The new soldier camp where Zhao Tuo was located was under the command of General Pi.
With the sound of "general patrolling the camp" and the sound of heavy drums.
The alarmed soldiers hurriedly ran out of the camp, stood on the roadside, and looked nervously in the direction of the camp gate.
"Good guy, this is a surprise inspection, but I don't know which general is here."
Zhao Tuo murmured in his heart that he was no stranger to the situation in front of him.
In my previous life, when I was in school, I lived in a dormitory, and there would often be surprise inspections by some student union cadres, counselors, and various leaders.
"Black Butt, what do you think the general patrolling the camp looks like? Could it be the old General Wang who destroyed the Zhao Kingdom?" Xiaobai stretched his neck and looked out.
Black Hips hugged his arms and muttered: "Who knows, no matter who it is, it's better to finish it quickly and go back to warm up. It's going to be freezing to death outside."
A Niu next to him interjected: "Maybe it's Old General Wang. I, A Weng, have served under General Wang before. I heard that this old general loves to patrol the camp the most and cares about the soldiers. If he really comes to patrol the camp, Maybe they’ll give us a few quilts to keep us warm. Hehehe..."
Xiqigu, who was standing behind, heard this and showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He didn't want to speak, but he couldn't help but show his desire.
"Shuzi is really ignorant. If the general is here, then what the ordering soldier just shouted should be 'General patrolling the camp' instead of the general. You don't even understand this, stupid."
A Niu's face turned red after being told that, but he did not dare to argue with Xiqigu and lowered his head in shame.
The black hip on the side muttered: "This guy started showing off again."
However, Zhao Tuo heard this and couldn't help but look at Xiqigu. Although this guy had a bad temper, he was a rural official who had been working for many years. His knowledge and judgment were much better than those of the others. .
At this time, the two brothers, the elder and the younger, also started talking, and Xiaobai next to him even asked Zhu whether he had ever served under General Wang when he went to the battlefield before.
Zhao Tuo turned around and looked around, and saw that not only Gengshi but also other Shiwu were chatting and discussing, and the whole military camp was noisy.
After all, they were new recruits who had just been recruited. After just three days of training, they were on a long march, and there was not enough time for discipline training. Later generations of college students still talked about it during military training, let alone a group of rough and mean men in this era.
Zhao Tuo thought of the style of those leaders during surprise inspections.
Inspection means looking for problems, finding them and scolding them.
If there is no problem, then you can still raise issues.
As soon as he thought about this, his face became solemn, and he scolded the elder and younger brothers who started laughing at the unknown topic: "No talking."
Zhao Tuo was both a corps commander and a nobleman, coupled with his extraordinary knowledge, he had established prestige among Gengshi along the way. His scolding calmed everyone down.
"Tuo, this is..." Hei Butt opened his mouth, but was kicked in the butt by Shejian from behind, and he swallowed his words immediately.
Zhao Tuo looked at Zhu, who had not yet regained his composure, and said, "Sir, the order has said that the general is not allowed to make any noise when he is patrolling the camp."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Zhu scratched his head and said to everyone: "Tuo is right, everyone is not allowed to talk."
Zhao Tuo then asked everyone to put on their armor, hold spears in their hands, arrange themselves in order according to height, and stand with their heads held high.
At the same time, he whispered a few words into Zhu's ear.
Zhu nodded repeatedly and walked towards Liang Guang, the commander of the village not far away.
…
Li Xin, wearing a heguan, armor and combat boots, walked into the camp gate with a sullen face, surrounded by captains and military commanders.
mob!
This was Li Xin's first impression of this reinforcement force.
Although the main roads of the camp have been cleared, and no one is running around on the road, those soldiers who heard the drums and the shouts of the messengers stood in front of the camp, and there were still people whispering to each other, and there were even noises in the distant tents. sounded.
There were even people who inherited the lazy and laid-back temperament of the Guizhou leader. Even though the general himself had already entered the camp, they actually came out of the camp slowly.
What a big rack!
What Li Xin couldn't tolerate the most was that these so-called soldiers stood staggering one by one, one on the left and one on the right. Ten of them could actually stand in a triangle.
Moreover, some of them were wearing armor, and some even lost one of their shoes in the rush. They stood on the ground with their bare feet rubbing against each other. Some of the weapons they were given were taken, and some were not. It was a mess. .
If Li Xin hadn't made a surprise attack, he wouldn't have seen this embarrassing scene at all.
As Han Feizi said: An embankment measuring a foot long will burst with the holes of ants; a room a hundred feet tall will be burned by the blazing gaps.
A sudden patrol of the camp caught them off guard, which shows how poor the military discipline of the new recruits in this battalion is. If the enemy raided, set fire to the camp, and fought hand to hand, these new soldiers would not be a group of lambs that could be easily slaughtered.
Thinking of this, Li Xin's face turned darker.
The two surrounding captains also saw this scene, their faces were ashen, and one of them said to the military commander beside him: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go clean it up?"
"slow."
Li Xin turned his head and glared at the captain.
The captain quickly shut his mouth, looking terrified.
"Let's go, let me take a look first and see what kind of army this is."
As he spoke, he took long strides and patrolled along the roads in the camp.
A soldier who knows his enemy and himself can fight a hundred battles without danger.
As a general on the battlefield, Li Xin knew that as a general, he must understand the importance of the quality of the troops under his command. If he did not even know what the army he was leading was and just faced others on the battlefield, it would not be called a battle, but a battle. Die.
As Li Xin marched between the centurion camps, the frost on his face became heavier and heavier.
These are all things.
No wonder Wang Jian disdained the new supporting troops and asked him to train them properly.
What role can these items play in combat?
Such lax military discipline is not a problem on the battlefield.
Li Xin was born into a wealthy family in Longxi. Both his father and ancestors were high-ranking officials at the county level. As soon as he came of age, he received his ancestors' influence and entered Xianyang to become the Langwei of the King of Qin.
After that, they were directly released as generals. As several generals marched south and north, they were led by elites from hundreds of battles or veterans who had been on the battlefield. How had they ever led such new recruits? This chaotic scene, He was so angry that his heart burned.
Just when the fire burning in Li Xin's chest became more and more intense, suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The centurion camp in front was actually different from the one seen before.
Ten people stood in front of a tent, lined up in order.
Although this hundred-man team is still very scattered, with one hundred people standing in different postures, at least no one speaks, which is much better than the previous chaotic scene.
In particular, Li Xin noticed that the people in front of one of the tents were arranged in order of height. Everyone was wearing leather armor, holding spears, and stood there with their heads held high. They looked very military-disciplined in the current environment. .
These days, it just depends on who is worse than who.
Against the background of the comrades in front, the appearance of this Shiwu made Li Xinxin's anger dissipate a little.
