"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 702
? Yunshan Province, the suburb of Pingyong Prefecture.
"prick!"
"kill!"
"prick!"
"kill!"
On the vast school field, countless recruits are undergoing military training amidst the cold shouts of the Qinghe Army Corps.
In addition to these new recruits with spears and spears, smoke and dust billowed not far away, and hundreds of cavalry were also charging on horseback. The bright lights of knives flashed, and countless scarecrows were chopped to the ground.
The sword and shield soldiers are mainly practicing military formation coordination. Although most of the sword and shield soldiers have simple shields, or even just cut off wooden boards, they still train seriously.
There was smoke and dust billowing on the school field, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Nearly 20,000 recruits were training here, which was magnificent.
These trainees in the barracks outside Pingyong Prefecture are all soldiers from the Fifth Army of the Qinghe Army.
The origin of these soldiers is also varied, but most of them are refugees who have lost their homes.
The rebel Yang Hao and the Southern Army fought repeatedly in the Yunshan Province, so that all the prefectures and counties in the Yunshan Province were battered.
Moreover, whether it is the rebel army Yang Hao or the southern army, the military discipline is quite lax, and looting places is also a common thing.
Countless people have fled one after another, but now there are wars everywhere, and on the way to escape, they will be exploited and plundered by government officials and bandits everywhere.
? In desperation, these refugees who had no money and food to entangle were reduced to refugees, and had to take up arms in exchange for a bite of food.
Under such circumstances, Luo Dagang, head of the Fifth Army of the Qinghe Army, quickly recruited a large number of troops.
Now Luo Dagang's Fifth Army occupies Pingyong Mansion and the four surrounding counties, and its strength has also greatly increased.
Chen Xiaoyu's First Army Corps, Li Qiye's temporary Second Army Corps, Meng Jianbo's Third Army Corps, and Liu Yidao's Fourth Army Corps had no choice but to attack outwards because they could not get enough logistical supplies in Pingyong Mansion.
However, they encountered a strong resistance from the southern army, so that now the outskirts of Pingyong Prefecture are raging with war, but Pingyong Prefecture enjoys a rare tranquility.
At the beginning when Marshal Chen Ru sent several other legions to leave Pingyong Mansion to develop outwards, he was worried that they would stay here and be annexed by Luo Dagang's Fifth Legion.
But now it is not as good as the sky, and the few legions that have developed independently have now become Luo Dagang's shield.
Now seeing the further strengthening of Luo Dagang's fifth army, the bitterness in the heart of Marshal Chen Ru can be imagined.
"Commander, how about my soldiers?"
Luo Dagang also deliberately invited Marshal Chen Ru to the barracks to inspect the training in order to show off his strength.
Luo Dagang was able to become the commander of the Fifth Army of the Qinghe Army, and naturally he was not a dead man.
General Chen Ru couldn't help but nodded when he saw that although the trainees were recruits, their movements were uniform and well-proportioned.
"It only needs a few more days of training, and it will be an elite teacher." Chen Ru couldn't help but praise.
The stronger the fifth army now, the greater the threat to Chen Ru, but now the situation is stronger than others, and Chen Ru is quite helpless.
"I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have in the Fifth Army now?"
In the past, the various legions within the Qinghe Army held back each other, but Chen Ru was able to control the various troops.
Now, with the loss of internal balance, and the fact that Chen Ru was driven into the mountains before, his prestige continued to lose, causing Chen Ru's control over the troops to become weaker and weaker.
Chen Ru knew the strength of the Fifth Army before, but since arriving in Pingyong Mansion, the Fifth Army has not been very obedient, and Luo Dagang no longer reported many things to Chen Ru in detail.
"Reporting to the commander, our fifth army now has 100,000 elite soldiers." Luo Dagang pointed to the recruits who were being trained and said, "There are more than 20,000 people in this barracks alone."
After hearing Luo Dagang's words, Chen Ru was also shocked. He didn't expect Luo Dagang's strength to be so strong.
In fact, Luo Dagang's Fifth Army only had more than 50,000 people at full strength, and this is still counting those family members, and there were only more than 30,000 people who could go into battle.
However, in order to show off his muscles in front of the commander-in-chief Chen Ru, he deliberately exaggerated his own strength.
"General Luo is both wise and brave, and he is also good at training troops, but he is a rare pillar of our Qinghe army."Senior Wu Yanqing also smiled and praised Luo Dagang.
"The chief of staff is absurd."
Although Luo Dagang said he was modest, but in fact he had an unconcealable pride on his face.
"Commander, General Luo is not only good at commanding the troops, but also made great contributions to our Qinghe Army. The deputy commander of our army has been vacant for a long time. I think that if General Luo can serve as the deputy commander of our army, he will be able to lead our army. The Qinghe army has become stronger, and it is not impossible to compete in the world in the future."
? After Wu Yanqing, the chief of staff, praised Longxiang General Luo Dagang, he immediately put forward a suggestion that Luo Dagang be the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army.
Chief of Staff Wu Yanqing is the confidant of the Marshal Chen Ru, and now he speaks for Luo Dagang, and Chen Ru is also caught off guard, making him quite passive.
Chen Ru is now trapped in the Pingyong Mansion controlled by the Fifth Army, watching the Fifth Army continue to become stronger, but helpless.
But what Chen Ru never expected was that even Wu Yanqing, his chief of staff, was secretly bought by Luo Dagang.
After Chief of Staff Wu Yanqing finished speaking, Luo Dagang also looked at Chen Ru with a smile, as if everything had been discussed and was waiting for Chen Ru's reply.
"Yan Qing is right. General Luo is not only young, but also has outstanding military exploits and good training. If he can serve as the deputy commander of our Qinghe Army, he will definitely be able to lead our Qinghe Army to grow stronger."
"I am old, and my energy is not as good as before. If General Luo can relieve my worries, I will be very happy."
After Chen Ru stabilized his mind a little, he immediately responded accordingly, and the one who went downhill praised Luo Dagang.
Because Chen Ru knew very well in his heart that if he opposed it now, his life might be lost.
"How about this, when the fighting on the periphery rests for a while, I'll call the other regiment leaders back, and then we'll have a meeting, how about letting General Luo be the deputy commander?"
Although Chen Ru was praising Luo Dagang, he didn't actually express his position that he would be appointed as deputy army commander immediately, but used a strategy of delaying the troops.
At that time, when the other army chiefs came back, if Luo Dagang wanted to be the deputy army chief again, Chen Ru didn't need to object.
Chen Ru did not refuse these words, but left room for Luo Dagang to turn his back on him without any excuse.
"Thank you for your love, Marshal. I will do my best to share the worries of Marshal and strengthen my Qinghe army."
Seeing what Chen Ru said, although Luo Dagang was scolding his mother in his heart, he couldn't see that he was unhappy at all, and instead expressed his gratitude to Chen Ru.
"General Luo, after all, you are about to become the deputy commander. Now the few legions on the periphery are fighting very hard. Your fifth legion has been recharging its energy for so long, so it's time to go out and fight a few battles. After all, There are so many recruits who only train and don¡¯t see blood on the battlefield, after all, they will be embarrassing and reused.¡±
"What the commander-in-chief said is that our army is short of food, grass, and weapons. When I have enough food, grass, and weapons, I will let them fight a few battles with the southern army to relieve the pressure on the other legions."
Naturally, Luo Dagang can't be fooled by Chen Ru. What he needs to do now is to see that several other legions are fighting with the southern army, so that he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman, so that he won't help foolishly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
