The imperial court is mobilizing troops and generals to wipe out the rampant bandits of the Flying Eagle Society. Ye Ying's people far away in Fuhu Mountain didn't know anything about this matter, but who was Zhuge Ying? Just before preparing the vehicle for action, he thought that the government would definitely not let this matter end.
Sitting back and waiting for death is certainly not the style of Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying. From the moment they grabbed food, several important leaders of the Feiyinghui cottage began to make arrangements.
A series of recent actions have made the Flying Eagle Association famous in the three nearby counties. Due to floods, the lives of ordinary people have been very difficult. Many people simply took the risk and went up the mountain to become bandits. Of course, the famous Flying Eagle Society became everyone's first choice.
In the past few days, more and more people have gone to Fuhu Mountain and asked to join the Flying Eagle Society. The Flying Eagle Society village is in urgent need of strengthening its strength. Of course, these people who come to join are welcome, and the news continues to spread. After all, people from hundreds of miles away came to Fuhu Mountain because of its reputation.
The last time Zhaitian was wiped out, nearly two thousand bandits from Zhaitian were merged into the Flying Eagle Society. With the continuous addition of surrounding people, the number of members of the Flying Eagle Society has expanded rapidly, with more than 10,000 combat personnel.
Nowadays, the strength of the Flying Eagle Society is not only the most powerful among the bandits hundreds of miles away, but also ranks among the best in the entire Daning.
The number of people in the meeting continued to increase, and it was imperative to reorganize the Shanzhai team. Based on the original basis, Ye Ying further expanded the Shanzhai combat personnel and formed four armies. Named after Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu, each army has five or six battalions, with a total number of more than 3,000.
The Qinglong Army is personally led by Ye Ying, with Ge Yuncai as the military advisor. Its personnel are mainly composed of members of the original Flying Eagle Society, plus veterans from the new army camp. It has six battalions under its jurisdiction, ranking first among the four armies in terms of combat strength and number of people. head.
The Suzaku Army is mainly composed of bandits from the former Zhuifengling Mountain Village, including the former female barracks. Ye Ying's concubine Gan Xiang also joined them. It is led by Ye Ying's wife Fan Lingyan, and its military advisor is the old man Du Kui'an of Zhuifengling.
The Xuanwu Army is still led by Chen Gang and Jiang Jin is the military advisor. It is mainly composed of former bandits from Fuhu Mountain, but most of them are nearby people who have recently joined the Flying Eagle Society. Although this team has a relatively large number of people, its combat effectiveness still needs to be improved due to uneven personnel.
The White Tiger Army was newly established, and most of them were bandits who had surrendered from Zhaitian. Of course, there were also some newcomers who had just transformed from common people into bandits. This team is headed by Qi Jiao and Shan Fu is the military advisor. It also has five veterans from the Mad Lion Army as battalion commanders, which can help these new recruits mature quickly.
Another thing that makes the White Tiger Army different from the other three armies is that this army is stationed in Feixing Valley. Except for a small part of the former Zhaitian Village that was burned down, the rest is intact and can only be repaired a little.
Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying decided to place the White Tiger Army in Feixing Valley after discussion. If Feiying Club made such a big noise this time, the Daning court would not let it go. When the troops come to attack the territory, the White Tiger Army stationed in Feixing Valley and the Flying Eagle Association headquarters will form mutual horns, which can prevent the entire village from being surrounded by the imperial soldiers.
Qi Jiao and Shan Fu are Ye Ying's most trusted brothers. They are put in charge of the White Tiger Army in the hope that this team stationed outside can absolutely obey Ye Ying's dispatch even in the most dangerous moments.
Now the number of combat personnel in the Flying Eagle Society has increased significantly, but there are actually disadvantages, that is, the overall combat effectiveness has dropped significantly. Many of the newly joined bandits were ordinary people before. It's okay to ask them to farm and chop firewood. But if you want them to compete with well-equipped officers and soldiers, it's like trying to block the car.
Therefore, the biggest problem now is the training of bandits. Therefore, when the Fourth Army was established, each army achieved a combination of old and new, promoted a large number of experienced veterans from the previous backbone, and let them serve as low-level officers. .
The organizational structure of these four armies is imitated by the officers and soldiers of Daning. Generally, there are five people in a team, five and five are one li, five li is one team, five teams are one battalion, and each army has five to six Although the battalion is not strong in combat, its personnel are adequate.
Even the training methods and content of each team are mostly based on the training model of the Wild Lion Army that Ye Ying borrowed. Of course, the "Ye Gong Art of War" given to him by Master Ninth is also indispensable. Many things trained by the Wild Eagle Army back then were recorded in the book. middle.
The things that the Mad Lion Army and the Fierce Eagle Army train on a daily basis are very practical, but it will take at least half a year to a year to develop these things into a rudimentary form so that these bandits, who have just turned from ordinary people into combatants, have certain combat capabilities. year time.
Ye Ying, Zhuge Ying and Fan Lingyan all knew that the imperial court would definitely not give Fei Ying enough time, so Ye Ying made strict requirements for the bosses of the cottage, and they must insist on solid training every day, and now he has also formulated a series of The reward and punishment mechanism encourages bosses who work hard in training to achieve remarkable results.
Of course, those who cheat and fool around all day long will also be severely punished.
Every half a month, the bandits in several armies will conduct various forms of competitions in battalion units to test the effectiveness of everyone's training. The winner will not only be able to eat well for a few days, but also receive a lot of money, while the loser will not only be punished, but will also be looked down upon in the village.
In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all the gangsters for training, the village also organized girls and young wives to form a condolence team, which not only allowed them to observe competitions and training, but also performed songs and dances for the winners.
Most of the combatants are young and strong men, all of whom are full of blood. Some of these older girls and younger wives are their own family members, and some are the objects of their admiration. In order to show themselves in front of them, all the bandits participated fully in training and competitions, for fear of being regarded as idiots by these older girls and younger wives.
While the Eagle Club was actively training, the imperial court was not idle either. After a period of coordination, it finally mobilized an army of 15,000 men and embarked on a journey to conquer the Eagle Club.
Coincidentally, the leader of this army was an acquaintance of Ye Ying. It was General Ning Yuan Chen Zhi whom Ye Ying saw for the first time in the military camp. The team led by Chen Zhi was also dominated by the Songzhou soldiers he led at the Songzhou camp that day.
Although the army led by Chen Zhi cannot be compared with the three iron armies of Zhanhu, Kuangshi and Feilong, it is still a team that has fought many tough battles and has considerable strength.
Chen Zhi was very happy to accept the mission to suppress the bandits in Fuhu Mountain this time. According to the information he received, although the number of bandits called the Flying Eagle Society was not much less than that of his own men, how could the bandits' combat power be as high as that of his own men? Compared with the regular army.
Chen Zhi is very confident that all these bandits will be wiped out within three months. By then, he will have gained a lot of military glory. He has been serving as General Ningyuan for seven or eight years, and it is time for him to move up to the next level. With this military achievement and the efforts of the people behind him, he will be promoted to the fifth rank of military general. Not to mention rising to the fourth grade, at least to the fifth grade, right?
Whenever he thought of this, Chen Zhi felt very happy. As soon as he received the imperial decree, he began to actively prepare and then embarked on the journey as soon as possible.
The flying eagle gathered in the lobby. At this time, ten people were sitting here. There were many armed gangsters guarding outside the hall, but their task was to be responsible for the safety of the people inside. No one dared to step into the hall without permission. , because this hall is full of current bosses of the Flying Eagle Society.
These ten people are Ye Ying, the head of the Flying Eagle Association. They include Zhuge Ying, the chief military advisor, Ge Shun, the general manager, and the rest are the commanders and strategists of the Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu armies. They are considered the decision-makers of the entire Flying Eagle Association. .
But at this moment, everyone looked serious. The headmaster Ye Ying had just informed them of the news that the imperial army that had come to the Flying Eagle Society to suppress the bandits was less than a hundred miles away from Fuhu Mountain.
"Although our four armies have been training intensively recently, the time is too short and can only be regarded as half-performed. It is difficult to compete with the officers and soldiers in this state."
Military advisor Ge Yuncai said with a frown. He was an old man from the Flying Eagle Society and had a deep affection for the village. Thinking that his brothers in the village might be brutally killed, he couldn't even sleep well these days.
"I'm not trying to embolden others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige. According to the information I received, although the number of officers and soldiers is not much greater than ours, they are well-trained and well-equipped. But only about half of us have formal weapons, and The people can only carry hoes, kitchen knives or sickles. Our chances of winning this battle are really slim!"
Jiang Jin, the military advisor of the Xuanwu Army, sounded helpless. He thought he had some resourcefulness, but in the face of such a severe situation, he felt as helpless as a clever woman can't make a fool of herself.
"You don't need to belittle yourself, but we don't need to be too discouraged. Fuhu Mountain is our territory. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We are in the right place at the right time, so we are not without the strength to fight." Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, the Xuanwu Army Commander Chen Gang stood up and said.
"Ever since the moment we went to Yuhe County to snatch food, we knew that today's battle would happen, but it came a little early. Let me set the tone first. We must fight this battle and win it. When we defeat it, With these officers and soldiers, the imperial court was unable to organize a second campaign in a short period of time. Next, we will take advantage of the situation to capture the three counties of Yuhe, Heishan and Caoping. At that time, we will no longer be bandits. I will give everyone here an official title. Come and be a part of it.”
The people present were all the most important figures of the Flying Eagle Association. Ye Ying was not willing to have a fear of war among them, which would have a huge impact on the morale of the entire Flying Eagle Association, so he stood up at once and did it bravely. Yun's said.
"Okay! We will follow the boss's wishes, defeat these guys, occupy a few more cities, and I will also come and get a county magistrate." Shan Fu grew up with Ye Ying since childhood, and Ye Ying is his teacher and friend. The person he respected the most, so he immediately stood up to support his boss.
"Look at your fat, pig-like figure. If you put on the county magistrate's official uniform, you will look like a corrupt official." As soon as Shan Fu finished speaking, he heard someone saying contemptuously, "No need." Said, this guy is Qi Jiao, and he will not miss any opportunity to argue with Shan Fu.
"Hmph! I am a rich man who seems to be born to be an official. Look at how strong you are. If you come to guard the yamen gate for me, you will definitely be more effective than the door god posted on the door." Shan Fu is not a submissive person. He immediately retorted
Shan Fu's words made everyone laugh, and the scene suddenly became more relaxed.
"Strategically despise the enemy, and tactically pay attention to the opponent. This is the first tough battle our Flying Eagle Association has encountered since its establishment. We must first have a winning mentality, but we must also have a careful layout. Now let me say Some plans were formed after discussions between the eldest master and the second master.”
Zhuge Ying stood up, came to a simple topographic map drawn in advance, and began to assign tasks to each other.
