Finest Servant

It is strange to say that since leaving the capital, the continuous spring rain has been falling non-stop, and the official roads are muddy, coupled with the spring cold in the willow season, and the desolate wind and rain, it makes people feel as if they have returned to the cold winter. Marching in this kind of weather, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the veterans who have experienced the battle are also low morale, as if it is a bad omen from heaven.

Lin Wanrong had led soldiers when he was in Shandong, but it was to suppress bandits. The enemy was outnumbered, and the security was sufficient. He had a huge psychological and military advantage, and dared to fight with his eyes closed. But now we are facing the Turks. The Turks and the White Lotus Sect are not opponents of the same level at all. If you look at the solemn expression on the face of General Li Tai, you can know that I.

However, General Lin responded to all changes without change, and handed over the training to Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan and others. These two were already familiar with Master Lin's training methods. In a nutshell, the ruthless last eliminated his partner. Rewards with exciting spiritual substances. Under this dual incentive, even the weakest soldier can be trained into a warm-blooded boy by Hu Du and his team. This set of methods, when I practiced the food and grass army in Shandong, has long been proven to be effective, and there is nothing to worry about.

The most laid-back person in the camp on the right is General Fei Lin. His generals were busy training troops, but he took Gao Chief around the barracks all day long. His favorite thing was to catch a few ordinary soldiers, laughing and laughing at home, and when it was time for dinner, he grabbed meals with everyone. . He doesn't put on airs, and his exports are dirty. From the generals to the firemen, they can all mix together, and it is very lively.

Occasionally, when the interest comes, General Lin will also call everyone to sing a ditty together, bringing together the southern and northern accents. Everyone was happy and sad.

The most special thing was the "Reading Home Letters" contest created by Master Lin. There were 50,000 to 60,000 troops in the army on the right, and countless letters from the family were sent every day, so he called up some hundred troops. Encourage the soldiers to read the letters sent from afar in front of everyone. Whenever this time comes, it is the happiest moment for all the soldiers.

After a long time, these have formed a routine. Master Lin commanded the army on the right side. He practiced the hardest every day and laughed the most. The atmosphere and emotion formed a sharp contrast with the continuous spring rain.

The army went north for a few days, and the direction was changed from east to west. Walking along the southern foot of the Great Wall, the climate is gradually drying up.

"General, it's time for a collegial meeting in the army. Are you going in person today, or are you still the last general?!" Du Xiuyuan reported with a smile, but saw his immediate superior holding a strange pen and making gestures on the white paper Draw.

Lin Wanrong made a heavy stroke on the white paper, and then yawned. Lazily said: "Every day's collegial meeting, isn't it all about those things? Each battalion counts the number of people and reports the training details. Then listen to the general or Miss Xu's advice, alas, isn't this torturing me, a disabled person? Then how long does it take to go back and forth? A ten-mile journey."

The army continued to move forward, and the atmosphere had gradually become tense.

After Xu Zhiqing reported to Li Tai, it became a habit to hold military collegial meetings every day to discuss the enemy's situation and the marching route. Lord Lin's army on the right side was twenty miles apart from Li Taidi's camp. Running back and forth, at least for an hour, really embarrassed the crippled Lord Lin. Therefore, these days, Du Xiuyuan went to report on his behalf.

What kind of disabled person, your injury has been well and neatly treated. Yesterday, you rode a sweaty BMW for two laps, and even Hu Bugui couldn't get you out. Do you think everyone doesn't know about it? Gao Chief followed him all day, and naturally knew the details. Seeing that he made an excuse to be lazy, he was amused.

Du Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Then I'll go. It's just that Miss Xu asks again today, how will she answer it at the end?! The general didn't go to the tent to report for a few days, and the military division Xu seemed to be a little annoyed a few days ago."

She's been annoyed many times, and it's not the first time. Lord Lin shook his head, frowning and said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's because I'm injured. I'm in the pain of breaking my leg every day to supervise the teacher, Miss Xu should also be considerate and considerate of our disabled people. Well, I'll recuperate. In the last two days, I will report to her in person."

Du Xiuyuan and others all knew that there seemed to be a strange relationship between him and General Xu. Seeing his repeated shirk, it confirmed the thoughts in their hearts. They immediately folded their fists and smiled and said, "Understood, I understand. General Lin has the intention to report to General Xu in person, but his body is not healthy. Allow, Miss Xu can be considerate if you want to come, I will report to her now."

"To the ground, that's the truth." Lin Wanrong laughed twice, praising Du's smartness. When Du Xiuyuan rode his horse away, Lin Wanrong shook the rice paper in his hand and handed it to Hu Bugui: "Brother Hu, you are an expert in raising horses and an expert in training soldiers, you can help me see this idea, yes Yes or no?"

Hu Bugui took the piece of paper and just glanced at it, his face changed greatly: "General Lin, who thought of this?!"

Lin Wanrong waved his hand: "Don't care who thinks the way, you can say yes or no!"

Hu Bugui thought about it for a while, then said cautiously, "If a soldier's legs are tied with a five-pound sandbag and march for 70 to 80 miles every day, coupled with the drills during the camp, this will be too intense, I'm afraid brother. They won't be able to hold on."

"Then let me ask, Brother Hu, if you tie this sandbag to march and practice, will there be a problem?" Lin Wanrong said sternly.

Hu Bugui laughed loudly and shook his head confidently: "What is this, my old Hu used to drive sweaty horses with iron legs in the past years, let alone a small five-jin sandbag. Not only me, my old Hu is confident, The brothers in Xu Zhen's battalion that I brought out from Shandong, everyone has this ability."

"That's it." Lin Wanrong hummed: "The same people, there is no reason for anyone to be worse than the other. The order goes on, starting tomorrow, no, starting tonight, my army on the right will go up to generals and officials, down to shiyi, no matter what. You are the magic battalion of riding, walking, and walking. Whether it is marching, training, eating, drinking, or sleeping in the latrine, everyone has to tie a five-pound sandbag to me. No one is allowed to take it off without my order. , Military law!"

"Order." Hu Bugui shouted in a hurry, called the secretary, and sent the announcement overnight.

"There is one more thing," Lin Wanrong thought for a while, and stopped Hu Bugui, who was about to step out of the camp: "Tie every war horse, whether it is a camel or a camel, to my legs. sandbag."

"Under such heavy pressure, the military horse's combat power has increased, but the life expectancy will be shortened by half a year."

"A warhorse can live half a year less, and it is better than a human being to live a lifetime." Seeing that Hu Bugui and Gao Chief both stared at him blankly, Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "Big Brother Hu, Big Brother Gao, do you think I am very brutal?!"

Gao Chief said seriously: "Brother Lin, you have never missed anything in doing things, and we all believe in you."

"Actually, I had this idea when I rode the sweaty BMW yesterday." Lin Wanrong sighed: "Whether I admit it or not, the Turks' BMW is indeed much more than that of Dahua. It is only based on the combat power of cavalry. , we lost at the starting line. The only way is to take some unconventional methods.

Hu Bugui was born in a cavalry, and his affection for war horses is far better than ordinary people. He only sighed softly and remained silent.

Lin Wanrong took out two sandbags under the pillow of the self-propelled army, tied them tightly to his legs, and waved: "Brother Hu, you go and call your brothers, and I will tell them."

It was already dinner time, and the gangs set up a cauldron, and the aroma of the food wafted in the camp.

When Lin Wanrong stepped out of the camp, he saw a bright red sunset falling on the sky, and the long-lost glow reflected on tens of thousands of young faces. In the end, I saw the sun, but it was the setting sun. Could it be that the future is really bleak when heading north this time? Shaking his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, he climbed the temporarily erected high wooden platform and looked around. There are warriors all over the mountains and plains, with young and dark faces, and their eyes are full of unknown excitement. Yellow mane, black mane, and white mane war horses merged into colorful clouds. The swords and guns that gleamed with cold light flashed with a strange and cold brilliance under the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Brothers," Lin Wanrong looked around. He spoke in a low voice, his voice reverberating in the valleys on all sides, and he could hear it very clearly: "I believe everyone has received the order. Yes, this order is given by someone from my Lin. From now on, whether you are a cavalry infantry battalion divine arrow Hand, it doesn't matter if you are a general clerk, each person's legs are tied with five jins each, and no one is allowed to leave without my order. Violators, beheaded!"

The sound of the word "chopping" was thrown all the way. It echoes in the valley, hitting the eardrums of every soldier. There was silence all around, and everyone looked at the young general who used to laugh and play with them. Looking at the dignified face he has never had before, there is a sense of urgency that the mountains are about to come.

"Actually, I was stimulated," Lin Wanrong sighed, and the scene was silent: "These days, when I am on the march, I always see the scene of farewelling in Beijing. I saw our white-haired old lady. Tears fell into red makeup. The sweet wife, the children who are waiting to be fed, I believe this scene. Every brother will never forget it."

"Whenever a brother reads a family letter, we are just as excited. Our relatives, their wishes are the simplest, they don't ask for glory, wealth, or clothing, but only hope that we can go back safely. I hope that every brother Remember, in the hearts of your loved ones, you are not a wave, not a grass. What are you? You are the majestic Helan that shelters the wind and rain, and is as pure as the sky. You are the Helan Mountain that will never fall! !!"

Tens of thousands of sergeants were standing, but the sound of the needle tip falling could be heard quietly. Countless young faces turned red, their fists clenched as if they were about to burst, and the tears in their eyes were secretly wiped away.

Lin Wanrong took a long sigh, and his voice calmed down again: "Please look at my legs, these are two sandbags, five jin heavy sandbags, you can easily do it. Where is Xu Zhen - broken pile - "

"The end is coming!" Xu Zhen and more than a dozen strong soldiers stepped out, his legs were already tied with heavy sandbags, looking at the weight, it was more than ten pounds.

"Kill—" The dozen or so people shouted at the same time, and slammed their legs at the piles standing in the field, and the stable wooden pile snapped into two pieces. Xu Zhen and the others were calm, as if they had never moved.

"I believe everyone has seen it," Lin Wanrong shouted loudly: "As long as you work hard, you can also have such skills. No matter how hard you are today, it's all for the sake of meeting your relatives in the future. Brothers, what are you hesitating about?! "

As expected, he is a natural slobber. This long talk is well-founded and touching. Even Gao Chief was persuaded, not to mention these soldiers who admired Lord Lin so much? Tens of thousands of soldiers scrambled to tie the sandbag, and the scene was extremely lively.

In the next drill, the sergeants were not as flexible as they used to be because they were tied with sandbags, but this pain must be experienced. Lin Wanrong lowered his voice and said, "Brother Gao, how long do you think it will take effect if you continue to practice like this?"

Chief Gao's martial arts are extraordinary, and this sandbag is a pediatrician in his eyes: "The effect is there every day. It's just a few days before this exercise, the legs may be a little swollen and sore, but these are the elite soldiers of my Dahua. With a strong physique, it is estimated that within ten days, he will be able to walk as usual. At most, it will take less than a month to see the actual effect."

a month? Hopefully it's still too late. Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking of this way is a bit late, but it's always better than nothing.

"Hey, isn't that Du Xiuyuan?!" A horse came galloping from a distance, Gao Chief's eyesight was very good, and at a glance he could see that it was General Dai Lin's Du Xiuyuan who went to the camp, and he suddenly wondered: "Today's collegial discussion, Is it over so early?"

Lin Wanrong was also a little puzzled, Miss Xu finished her lecture so early? Du Xiuyuan rushed over, and the sweat on his face had no time to wipe away. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Du, the conference is over? What did Military Master Xu say?"

Du Xiuyuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, when I arrived at the camp, I didn't even see the shadow of General Xu. I asked General Zuoqiu of the Zuolu Army, and he said that General Xu went to the camp today."

Camp tour? Lin Wanrong blinked, and suddenly sighed: "No, she must have caught my pigtail, and if it doesn't work, she will have to be dealt with by military law. Brother Du, you are here, I have something to go first. Gao Chief, Get me the fastest sweaty BMW, I'm going out to pee-"

"Shameless!" A coquettish cackle sounded in his ear, with a hint of anger, Master Lin's cold hair stood on end.
