The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 111
On the mountain road to the west of Xun City, two groups of Chu soldiers were marching. There were about 2000 people in this length, holding weapons with some green patina.

The ages are different, the clothes on the body are not very neat, and the spirit is a little sluggish. They don't look like those Qin Jun, who are murderous.

They are all defenders of Xun City.

It's no wonder that the most elite soldiers of the Chu State are fighting on the border. These soldiers guarding the city are also defending against bandits and bandits, and they will die when they encounter a strong army.

But even so, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary bandits. After all, many soldiers have been on the battlefield.

At the front there are two generals riding horses, wearing black armor, one is the main general Zhang Jie, and the other is the deputy general Liu Feng.

"General, to exterminate a group of bandits, why do we need [-] soldiers? Give the subordinates [-] soldiers, and they will surely kill all the bandits." Lieutenant General Liu Feng said confidently.

"According to the report from my subordinates, that group of bandits is not simple, and there are quite a few people hiding in the deep mountains." Zhang Jie's eyes showed a fierce light, and he snorted coldly: "They even hit my brother's idea and killed him. Soldiers go and kill all these bandits."

"However, General, you are responsible for defending the city. If you leave rashly, you will be punished by the higher-ups." Liu Feng worried.

Zhang Jie sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? There is still Nanzheng City to the west. Qin is too busy to take care of himself, but can he still attack us? That's why I have to lead the troops myself, quickly wipe out these bandits, and hurry back."

"With a general coming out, the days of these bandits are over." Liu Feng laughed.

Zhang Jie didn't take this action to exterminate bandits seriously.

Generally, only those who can't eat or escape military service will go up the mountain to become thieves. They have no combat effectiveness at all.

Zhang Jie is not good at fighting, but he has fought many times to wipe out bandits.

It's something that comes at hand, this time Quan should come out to relax.

Zhang Jie turned his head and winked at a young general behind him, who was very handsome, Zhang Jie stared at him and lowered his head shyly.

In fact, it is Zhang Jienan's concubine disguised as a woman. Recently, she has been doting on her and is reluctant to leave.

Not only the Chu State, but all countries have military laws, and women are not allowed in the army.

But Zhang Jie wanted to go out for at least half a month without returning. This kind of suffering was unbearable, so he thought of this method.

When camping at night, you can enjoy it.

Dahan Village, the center of the town.

"My lord, according to the reports from the spies, Zhang Jie, the guard of Xuncheng, personally led two thousand Chu troops to attack us. He has already marched forty miles to the east of Nanzheng, and we will reach it in two days." A militiaman below He knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands to report.

Standing in the hall were senior military officers of the village's battalion commander level and above, divided into two rows.

The leader on the left is Ma Yun, followed by Wei Qi, who is considered a civil official, and the leader on the right is Li Jinlong, followed by Hua Rong and other generals leading the militia.

From the position of the station, you can see the status of each person in the village.

Even battalion commanders are divided.

If the top five in the village are ranked, it should be Ma Yun, Li Jinlong, Hua Rong, Wei Qi, and Ma Huateng.

"What do you think?"

Su Lin was sitting on the tiger-skin seat in the middle, which was a bit like a bandit holding a meeting.

As the head of the militia, Li Jinlong first stood up and cupped his hands: "My lord, my subordinates think that although the defenders of Xuncheng are not as good as the frontier army, they are soldiers of Chu State after all. The weapons and equipment are not bad, and the defender Zhang Jie is quite capable. , not to be underestimated."

"According to the previous style of play, it is most appropriate to wait on the sidelines."

After listening, everyone nodded. The method used to deal with the Qin army last time was very effective, and they won the victory with only a few losses.

Since it is easy to use, follow the gourd painting.

Su Lin was dressed in a gorgeous white robe and rhinoceros leather boots. He leaned on the back of the chair and tapped the handle of the chair slowly with his fingers, frowning as if he didn't agree.

Wei Qi noticed Su Lin's expression, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what trick my lord has?"

When everyone heard Wei Qi's words, they also looked at Su Lin.

Su Lin smiled slightly and said, "I want to lead my troops out and fight Zhang Jie outside."

"what?"

Everyone is dumbfounded, what kind of tactic is this, it's too stupid.

Obviously there is a huge advantage in defending, but you have to fight the enemy head-on, so even if you win the fight, you don't know how many people will die.

Everyone looked at each other and talked in low voices, not understanding Su Lin's decision.

Wei Qi also frowned. If he wanted to flatter him, he had to understand the meaning of his superiors first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to shoot in the wrong place.

"Don't make wild guesses. What I mean is that in order to expand our territory in the future, Dahan Village will not be able to rely on the arrow tower for defense all the time. We also need to take the initiative to attack. This time, the defenders of Xuncheng are much weaker than the Qin army. If this This kind of rubbish army can't beat it head-on, so how can we talk about expansion?" Su Lin looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

The main purpose this time is to temper the militiamen, and it has been almost a month since they were handed over to Huarong for training. Although the time is still short, it is time to pull them out to practice.

It happened that the Chu army in Xuncheng was suitable for training.

Hua Rong, who had been silent all this time, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The final general is willing to lead five hundred militiamen to fight at the foot of the mountain."

Su Lin waved his hand, shook his head and said: "I don't want our people to fight the Chu army head-on on the flat ground, but I hope that the militiamen can break away from the arrow tower and use tactics to kill and wound the enemy, so that they can meet various future battle needs. "

"This battle is under the command of Li Jinlong. I request that when the Chu army attacks to the outskirts of the village, at least [-]% of the opponent's troops will be consumed."

Li Jinlong cupped his hands abruptly and said, "This subordinate takes orders."

"Hua Rong is responsible for defending the village, and the rest of the people perform their own duties and do their own thing well. Go down if you have nothing to do." Su Lin said.

"Here."

Everyone bowed their hands and dispersed to do what they should do.

Only Li Erni stayed to serve, came up and knelt down to massage Su Lin's legs.

"Nothing happened in the village recently, right?" Su Lin closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

As long as there are people, there will be fights. Su Lin also knows that the village is divided into several factions, and they are fighting openly and secretly. With Su Lin on top, nothing big will happen.

But after all, it will affect the cohesion of the village, and Su Lin has no good way to deal with this. He can only maintain a balance so as not to cause any trouble.

"It's nothing, but the newly married wife of Battalion Commander Wei is quite capable, and she obeys the battalion commander's system. I heard people say that there were screams of being beaten many times." Li Erni couldn't help it when she said this. sniggering.

Calling that Wei Qi deserved to marry a fierce wife, he was often beaten and scolded, and it was his own fault.

Su Lin shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't gloat, maybe Wei Qi is suffering and being happy."

"How can there be happiness in pain?" Li Erni was puzzled, and murmured: "Being beaten, shouldn't it hurt?"

Su Lin smiled, and didn't explain any more, Wei Qi's hobby, in fact, many people have it, but it can be divided into recessive and explicit.

Perhaps it was because of the temperament of the horse girl that Wei Qi liked it.

Wei Qi hurried back to his small yard with a lot of worries.

Now officers above the battalion commander level will have their residences enlarged, with a fence around the outside to form a small yard, and their living quarters will be expanded accordingly.

This shows the difference in treatment.

Ordinary villagers don't have this kind of treatment. It's just an ordinary house, with the road just outside the door, and each building is next to each other, so loud talking at night will be heard.

It is because of different levels and different treatment, everyone is working hard to move up.

This has also formed the bad habit of giving gifts through the back door in the village.

You must know that the level of regimental commander and battalion commander has the right to recommend. For example, the battalion commander can recommend candidates at the level of squad leader, and the regiment leader can recommend candidates at the level of company commander.

They are all recommended at the next level, and the recommended candidates are given to Su Lin for his decision.

As Su Lin is so busy, not all the people below know him. If there are a few people who help to refer to it, they will generally agree.

But who to recommend and who not to recommend?

At the same level, it depends on who can flatter, so many people use their work points to buy some wild fruits or tea and other gifts, and go to the homes of the battalion commanders and regimental commanders.

Although this kind of atmosphere is bad, Su Lin can't stop it.

As soon as Wei Qi entered the door, he saw a lot of things on the table in the middle, including tea and wine.

"Who sent it?" Wei Qi took off his shoes, put on clogs and slippers, and asked Ma Di who was looking at the bamboo slips.

Ma Di didn't turn his head, and said calmly: "Those people from the second squad of the fourth company in your battalion put down their things and left when they saw that you were not here."

"Grandma's, it's them. Last month, the performance of the other two was quite satisfactory. You can recommend them to try." Wei Qi felt that since he accepted the gift, he had to do things for them.
