Lu Si still partnered with Zhang Yansheng, the difference is that after half a year of training, the two were already company commanders and company sergeants.

This is normal. The merchant army ushered in another powerful expansion. Many original regiments began to replenish their troops. For example, the third regiment where the two are now in, they were transferred from Yang Sisun. They first stuffed a squadron to serve as the manager of Zhang Yansheng, and then a squadron. Finally, they announced the establishment of a new company. The troops were transferred to the Yunzhong Fort area for garrison during the full training period, and then entered winter training. Finally, they followed Zhang Han, organized into a battle sequence, crossed the desert, and arrived at the battlefield.

This company was trained for less than three months, but it was very familiar to both officers and soldiers.

The situation where the generals do not recognize soldiers and soldiers do not recognize generals is impossible in the Hutchison merchant army. The troops often conduct training camps, large-scale armed marches, confrontational training and exercises.

Zhang Yansheng was familiar with every squadron leader of his, and at the same time he recognized every team officer, and of course, he also included old sergeants of the same level.

At the same time, he is quite familiar with a large number of soldiers. Officers below the battalion level have to go to the battlefield in person. They are not only responsible for daily management, but also on the battlefield, but also on the battlefield, and they must be able to be responsible for on-the-air command. In this regard, the burden on the battalion company squadron-level officers is much heavier than that of regiment-level command. Of course, the responsibility of both sides is not at the same level.

Fortunately, there is a sergeant commander system, and sergeant commander at each level is a powerful helper of officers. They will help officers get familiar with their brothers. It is more convenient for sergeant to train subordinates than officers. They are also the best helpers on the battlefield. A roar can call those hesitant recruits, and the son is full of courage.

But no matter what, the battlefield in front of you is a new test for Zhang Yansheng or Lu Si.

Even the Military Training Department has never had similar subjects when organizing large-scale military exercises. Maybe everyone feels that it is unlikely that neither the Northern Lu nor the Eastern Lu will organize decent defenses, and the attack drills against the Ming Dynasty are not yet time, at least not yet available now.

"The military call rang, and the whole company was ready."

Not far away, Zhang Yansheng's roar came. After more than a year of leadership, this young officer who was once childish has become more and more mature, and of course he is becoming more and more like the old officers in the army. The difference is that Zhang Yansheng still has the aura of the children of a businessman after studying, which is exquisite, but still has literary spirit.

Lu Si has passed the junior officer assessment and plans to directly take the intermediate level when he is studying at the official school. With his military merits, qualifications, medals and other bonuses, it is estimated that after Lu Si comes out, he will be appointed as a company-level commander, or even a battalion-level deputy commander, directly as the deputy commander of a battalion commander.

The sound of the war trumpet was blowing one after another on the battlefield that lasted for more than ten miles, and the sound of the bronze trumpet was particularly loud and inspiring.

This is a melody composed by Zhang Han based on the memories of the charge in later generations. It was particularly welcomed by the soldiers as soon as it appeared in the army.

The sound of the horn is also good. The whimpering horn can also make the soldiers excited, but it is not as powerful as the drum sound, nor is it as sharp as the bronze horn that can pierce the soul.

The bronze trumpet was blowing everywhere, and flags were waving with the wind, from north to south, with fewer attacks, and there were boiling soldiers everywhere on the front, and the soldiers on the entire front began to lean forward like mercury.

Lu Si personally led a squadron. The squadron leader of this squadron was a bit immature and was a rookie.

Although the new officer will work hard to do his own duties and not make him seem too clumsy, the more he works, the more he exposes his shortcomings.

It doesn't matter. Every new officer has to go through this journey, ranging from three to four months to six months, and from six months to one year, and they will eventually adapt.

But when a squadron leader can fully control his troops, command his troops well, and even make military achievements, it is often the time for them to be transferred.

Looking down from the air, the entire battlefield seemed to be filled with silver shrubs. The soldiers wore silver breastplates or polished into bright silver armor, scale armor, muskets were bright mail or cotton armor, all of them wore bright silver iron helmets, the lancers wore iron masks, and the jumping soldiers were wrapped tighter. They were standard iron armor soldiers, like groups of iron beasts surrounded by steel.

This is an extremely powerful army. After the preparations started in the morning, everyone tried their best to eat, and then handed over their beloved horses to others to take care of... Under the powerful defense in front of them, the cavalry had no room for performance. Even the Mongols abandoned their horses and fought in the fortifications. This was a very unique war, which was completely different from the past memories and experiences of the people of the merchant army.

The offense and defense are easy to attack and defense, and the strong defense is the Mongols, and the Mongols are also forced to dismount and fight in the field.

"Maybe this is the last time I've been fighting such a decent Mongol." Zhang Yansheng couldn't help but shout at Lu Si when he jumped into the trench.

"I don't think it's that difficult to fight." Lu was less than twenty years old, but his battlefield experience was comparable to the most experienced veteran.

The Mongols on the opposite side are still as numerous as ants and are scattered on various important nodes.

The battlefield is more than ten miles east and west, with a depth of thirty or forty miles, and is covered with long trenches and winding rivers. If you are at a high place, you can see the gray city on the right and the Yulin City further away, and of course you can also see the winding side walls of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the essence of the Ordos Ministry. Of course, it does not refer to this place towards the desert area, but the Qianli grassland facing east-west, the front and middle areas, some back areas, the Han horse farms, and the Ordos Ministry mainly operates here.

Before Hutchison entered the grassland, there were traditional grazing lands of Ordos in many places north of the Kubuqi Desert. They did not have conflicts with the Tumotes, so they could share a large enough territory.

But this is a natural battlefield, sand, rivers, hills, and now there are long trenches.

In terms of defense, it can offset the Mongols' disadvantage of not having firearms and military forts. Natural defense and artificial combination seem so well matched, which is simply a perfect bonus.

But the Mongols on the defensive positions performed very poorly.

The team was in a mess, and there were always large groups of herders running around like headless flies.

The short and strong legs ran around the ground, and the scene had no connection with beauty. These people were used to riding horses and didn't know how to walk, let alone run with their legs.

The chaos in the scene represents the relative chaos in command, and it is likely to be a discontinuation of morale.

In short, in Lu Si's eyes, although the enemies in front of him were more than ten times that of his side, it was just a little more effort.

The sergeant chief's words resonated with many veterans, and then aroused a burst of praise, which greatly boosted the spirit of some new recruits who had not experienced much in the company and their morale was greatly improved.

Zhang Yansheng laughed and scolded: "Who dares to discuss with someone like you who are from a lancer who is an elite soldier!"

This resonates with many people.

Recently, when marching with the lancers, these dragoon soldiers suffered a lot of losses and became a lot of humiliation.

Of course, fighting is prohibited in the army, but the arrogance of the lances often triggers conflicts.

A reasonable way is to hold a competition between the officers of both sides. The name is of course nice and there are rules, and it is impossible to cause large-scale group fights. People from the Military and Justice Department watched the scene, and the ring match was a reasonable and legal venting.

Military branches and individuals who have opinions will show their skills in the competition and exchange competition. This is a good thing and will trigger a trend of spontaneous martial arts training and fitness in the army.

Often, one squadron will be beaten by another squadron, and the loser will work hard to take revenge, and the winning party will also not dare to relax. It will be too miserable to be beaten back one day.

The lancers are the ones with the most targets for fire concentration. They offended many people, and even their own people often have to open films. Every time the camp stabilizes, the temporary ring will be opened, and then these muscular men will use their fists to solve the problems between them.

Fighting is not allowed to be used, and even sticks are not allowed. It is just a way to hit the meat from the punches. You have to wear protective gear to prevent the vital points. However, after the fight, you will inevitably have a bruised nose and a swelling face.

This is also very good, no one can't adapt. The military is originally the place with the strongest masculinity. The so-called yang place, the daily training and the pressure on the battlefield will make people violent. Sometimes, there will be times when they can't be suppressed by blindly using military discipline. Fighting and venting will make them much better.

Zhang Han never forbids soldiers to find women, but whether they get married and have children or look for half-closed doors at the camp. It is never forbidden in the army.

It is impossible for a true man to abstinence. To put it another way, there are not many troops that can truly abstinence and be powerful. Perhaps there are those who cannot be asked by themselves.

The lancers were so arrogant that they became the target of fighting.

Lu Si is a company-level sergeant. Generally speaking, this kind of thing cannot be found on him, but when he was stationed in the clouds, Lu Si still fought several times. Although he is a dragoon now, when he heard that someone was disrespectful to the lancers, Lu Si's fist was still ready to move.

Amid the sound of the bugle, small groups of engineers moved first.

They wanted to put ladders on those trenches, and a large number of baggage soldiers were preparing several miles behind the formation. They had sufficient equipment in their hands and had made preparations in advance. While the soldiers were advancing, they would fill the trenches and then cooperate with the engineers to build a pontoon bridge on the Heishui River.

Wherever the war soldiers advanced, the baggage soldiers and engineers built the project. Behind them, everything would be leveled or conquered, whether it was a rushing river or a traverse of trenches.
