The formation of the Black Flag Battalion in Jingxi is infinitely striving to be the "elite among the elite". The selection of people, weapons and equipment, as well as the compensation and placement of casualties are all beyond the normal level of the Xuanqing Guard.
In Jingxi, when it comes to Black Flag Camp, there are only four words: rich and powerful!
Moreover, a group of guards from the Black Flag Camp in Jingxi had followed Shen Hao in the battle against the barbarians in the south, and had experienced several brutal battles, including encounters, offensive and defensive battles, and even pursuit and suppression battles. After returning, these people who had been baptized by the flames of war were dispersed by Shen Hao to the Black Flag Camps in various places to serve as instructors. After a round of rotation, at least the actual combat and battle formations improved the combat effectiveness of the frontline soldiers of the Black Flag Camp a lot. A little bigger.
You must know that there is a clear difference between the tactics that Xuanqingwei is familiar with and large-scale battle formations. In terms of the variety of battle formations and practical operations, Xuanqingwei is not as numerous as the army.
Although the current Jingxi Black Flag Battalion cannot be called the elite among the elite, it can be clearly distinguished from the ordinary Xuanqing Guard soldiers, and their energy and spirit are very different.
Therefore, at the training ground, Shen Hao did not see the "you come and go" confrontation, nor did he see the exciting scene of "alternating offense and defense". He felt that the only two words really explained the situation in front of him: violent abuse.
The Jingbei Army sent the main soldiers of a battalion to Mianzi, 2,000 people, divided into three battle formations, the scattered formation, the round formation, and the wild goose wing formation. Moreover, special wooden weapons for training were used, and the use of talismans was also abandoned. As a sparring partner, I still fully utilized my usefulness.
But what about Jingbei Black Flag Camp? Before the beginning, everyone looked very energetic, but after only half a stick of incense, they started to feel tired. Then they turned into defeat, and then ended in a rout. All of them were in such a miserable state with bruises on their noses and swollen faces.
Is it a shame? Of course it's embarrassing. It can be seen from the strange smiles on the faces of the Jingbei Army soldiers that these soldiers are watching a joke. It's just that due to the majesty of Xuan Qingwei and the face of Shen Hao present, he didn't laugh out loud.
The people from the army left, giving Shen Hao face. They didn't make any jokes, but they also left a message, saying that if anyone still needs training in the future, they can come to them directly, and there is no need to go around the command office. Shen Hao naturally thanked him again and again.
Others gave Shen Hao face, but Shen Hao would not give Lin Chen face. Because Shen Hao was very disappointed after this exercise, and he was also dissatisfied with Lin Chen.
"The battle formation is a mess, the will to fight is a mess, and the combined attack technique is also full of loopholes. Lin Chen, is this how you lead your brothers? If they look like this when something happens when they go out, don't they mean they are at the mercy of others?"
Lin Chen had already knelt on the ground in the middle of the exercise, first on one knee, then on both knees, and now with his head on the ground, his voice sounded a little timid.
"Sir, please punish me for the sins of my subordinates!"
No explanation or quibble. It seems silly, but it suits Shen Hao's temper. In Shen Hao's view, all explanations when facing problems are sophistry. Admitting mistakes first and then correcting them is the attitude a person should have, instead of trying to shirk responsibility from the beginning.
Although the dissatisfaction in my heart is still there, the anger is no longer so severe. Give Lin Chen a chance to explain.
"Tell me, why is this so?"
"Sir, the people in the Black Flag Battalion are all people who have been excluded from various places, or people with limited talents, and they lack actual combat experience on the front line. Many of them did not know the art of joint attack before joining the Black Flag Battalion, let alone We are in battle formation. Later, due to the shortage of various consumables, the training of formations and combined attacks was always intermittent, so we were so vulnerable."
In fact, Lin Chen still had something to say. That is, today's sparring partner is the main force of the Jingbei Army that has just withdrawn from the south. Looking at the country, they are all elite warriors. A warrior versus a three-legged cat, it would be strange not to be tortured. But such words were also suspected of "making excuses", so Lin Chen didn't mention it at all.
Is Lin Chen stupid? Definitely not stupid, on the contrary very smart. Just from his attitude of kneeling down in the middle of the exercise, you can tell that this person is shrewd and he knows a lot about Shen Hao's temperament.
In the final analysis, the quality of the manpower itself was poor, the training conditions were limited, the time was not long, and the imaginary enemy was too strong, which led to the end of being unilaterally abused.
As soon as Lin Chen said this, Shen Hao understood.
Of course, the well-built Black Flag Camp Yamen in Jingbei already had another meaning in Shen Hao's mind at this moment. Did the Xuanqing Guards in Jingbei set up a face-saving project to block the nastiness behind it?
Take a peek to see the whole picture. Jingbei is so serious, what about Jingdong and Jingnan? Is this also true? This can be considered bullying, because the secret document sent by the commanding officer did not say that the Black Flag Camp in these places was bullied to such an extent.
The matter can be big or small, and if you tell the truth, it can completely stir up a storm. Even the high-ranking governor will definitely not be spared, and it is not impossible for the thousands of households below to lose their heads.
But we still have to take two more steps to find out. In his heart, Shen Hao doesn't want to compete with the established forces of the Xuanqing Guards everywhere. It's not because he's afraid, but it's not necessary at the moment.
"In terms of manpower, you have to figure it out yourself. The treatment of Black Flag Camp in all aspects will gradually move closer to that of Jingxi, and the follow-up equipment will come one after another. This time we will take the line of command and envoy yamen, and we will not be exploited again. Yes. However, I will come to Jingbei again in three months and let you practice it again. If it is still so unbearable, Lin Chen, you can't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"My subordinate understands that I will never let you down again."
Shen Hao didn't care whether he really understood or pretended to understand. If he said three months, then it would be three months, and not one day would be less or more. If he could not see any obvious improvement in his combat power by then, then Lin Chen could move his head to another place.
On the way back, Shen Hao told Lin Chen a little bit about Zhu Xie's plan in the carriage. As long as he did not replace Lin Chen, the evil-killing operation would not be able to bypass the chief officer of the Jingbei Black Flag Camp. Besides, this is also an opportunity for Shen Hao to test Lin Chen's abilities.
Lin Chen had heard about Jingxi's strange actions against remote villages and towns. Lin Chen didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he saw the clues and secretly exclaimed. With such ruthless methods, it's no wonder those evil monks went to great lengths to kill Shen. He would have done the same thing.
I thought to myself for a while, and at the same time I understood why the Black Flag Battalion, which originally did not need top combat power, was "number one in combat power" in Shen Hao's eyes. It turned out that there was such a desperate operation against evil monks that needed to be launched.
All the way back to the city, Shen Hao would have a drink with several major bosses in the Xuanqingwei system in Hui'an City, and then rush to Jingdong the next day.
However, not long after the carriage entered the official road, it was discovered that a carriage in front of it had overturned and blocked the road...
