Chapter 743 (1/2)

”How nice the county captain is!”

”You can have a rest.”

Five hundred recruits cheered loudly, threw their blades to the ground, and then sat on the ground with a sigh of relief.

Looking at a group of new recruits in front of him, Zhu could not help shaking his head. If he pulled them out of the field and met the elite troops, he would surely be defeated in the first battle. Fortunately, as long as they enter Wuxian County, it will be the battle of guarding the city. After training in the battle of guarding the city, these people can barely pull out to fight in the field. If they fight more field battles, the elite soldiers will be trained.

Because of the protection of the city wall, even recruits can be used, but if they are pulled out to fight in the field, they will be killed.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, after the outbreak of an Shi rebellion, the rebels stormed Tongguan, a barrier in the east of Chang'an. At that time, it was Ge Shuhan, a famous general stationed at Tongguan. He had 100000 new soldiers under his command, who just blocked the elite rebels to the east of Tongguan.

But Emperor Xuanzong didn't know what he thought, so he ordered Ge Shuhan to go out and fight. Ge Shuhan hastened to shuxuanzong, saying that the new soldiers could still be used to defend the city, so he was killed when he was pulled out for a field battle.

But if you want to die, you have to die. Tang Xuanzong insisted that GE Shuhan had no choice but to lead his troops to battle. As a result, he was ambushed and defeated by the rebels. Ge Shuhan was killed on the spot and his reputation was destroyed.

Zhu Ju also sat down, but it was not like these new recruits. His weapons did not leave his hands, and he looked around from time to time. He was very alert.

Suddenly, Zhu stood up.

”All up, quick!”

”Enemy troops are approaching. Get up and line up quickly!”

Five hundred soldiers of the prefectures were startled and got up one after another, but they were like flies without a head, and they were in a mess for a moment. Zhu could not help but get angry and rushed forward with a knife. Without saying a word, he kicked a Jiangdong soldier out.

”What are you doing? I've forgotten all the tactics I've taught you, haven't you? ”

”Line up, line up!”

Under Zhu's supervision, five hundred recruits managed to form a round array. On the other hand, the sound of the enemy's feet was getting louder and louder, and they kept approaching the recruits.

Zhu Zhao's face became more and more ugly, because the number of enemy troops was more than two or three thousand, which was several times that of his own. Moreover, the advance and retreat of the enemy troops were moderate. The enemy soldiers were closely linked to each other, and their footsteps were very consistent and not noisy. This was the symbol of elite soldiers.

”Damn it, how did you meet such a group of enemy troops?”

Zhu Ju swore in a low voice. Looking up, he saw that the enemy army was surrounded by a flag flying in the air, with two big words written on it.

Summer Marquis!

On the opposite side was the Cao army, 3000 elite soldiers led by Xiahou Shang.

Three thousand Cao troops all the way to the Jiangdong army in front of a hundred steps, slowly stopped.

Xia Hou Shang sat on his horse and looked out from afar. When he saw the appearance of Jiangdong soldiers, he couldn't help sneering.

”Soldiers and soldiers, the enemy is a group of out and out recruits, and only a few hundred. Do you have the confidence to defeat them in the first World War?” Xia Hou still clenched his fist and exclaimed.

”Defeat the enemy!”

”Bring down these new soldiers!”

”Our army will win!”
