Nemesis is Coming - C90
When the five of us walked out of Han Xifei’s hut, Mouse asked: “Why is Yang Xiao one level higher than us?”
Da Niu replied very quickly, “If you were to lead the troops, I think you would probably go out on patrol every day to drink.”
Mouse also competing to say: I don’t know who drank more, last time drunk and trying to tease the village girl, almost got killed by her father.
The more they argued, the more intense their argument became. Luo Sha shouted impatiently, “Stop arguing!
Mouse and Da Niu immediately quieted down in fear, when Luo Sha looked at me and said, “Hmph!” There were no generals in Shu, Liao Hua was the vanguard.
After saying that, she headed to the village plaza. Da Niu and Mouse looked at each other for a bit before following Luo Sha out.
I turned to Wang Yan helplessly ask: What should we do now?
Wang Yan thought for a moment, then said: Where’s Da Gang, why haven’t I seen him? Vice General Luosha should have to gather more soldiers to scold them. Let’s find Da Gang first, then go and count the soldiers together.
Da Gang, he probably still hasn’t woken up. I don’t think he’ll wake up any time soon.
Wang Yan sighed and said: Da Gang, this guy is actually still sleeping lazily. It’s already noon.
Hearing Wang Yan’s words, I just realised that she didn’t know what happened in the middle of the village.
Wang Yan continued: Luo Sha is so powerful. She had a clever mouse by her side, who could help Luo Sha come up with some ideas. She also had a good fighting and spear skills Da Niu. Can help train soldiers.
It seemed to make sense to me. I thought about what had happened on my side and said, You can advise me. Da Gang can help me train my troops.
However, Wang Yan said worriedly: How can I advise you? I am just a medical soldier. Da Gang was a farmer who had retired for many years, how could he train in the army?
I smiled at Wang Yan and said, “Don’t be so pessimistic, the fact that General Han Xifei is able to give us the First Company shows that she has confidence in us.” Let’s be confident and get better.
Wang Yan could only smile bitterly and nod her head.
After we finished speaking, we went to Da Gang’s house. Ever since Da Gang gave his house to Han Xifei, he lived in a small house at the entrance of the village.
When we entered the house, we discovered that Da Gang was lying on the bed. He had not woken up yet, and a middle-aged man from the village was taking his pulse.
I went up to the old man and asked him: “How is Da Gang?”
The old man laughed and said: I heard that he was kicked like this by Vice General Luo Sha, right?
I nodded, only then did Wang Yan look at Da Gang in confusion, unable to comprehend what was going on.
The old man continued, He’s fine, too. He just fainted and rested for a night. However, his face would probably swell for a few days.
Then he said goodbye to us and left.
When I saw that the footprints on Da Gang’s face had not been wiped away yet, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Seeing me laughing, Wang Yan immediately asked me what was going on. So I told Wang Yan about Da Gang’s kick in the face this morning. Wang Yan pinched my arm and said: What’s so funny about that? It’s all because of you!
Wang Yan looked at Da Gang and said: I’ll be going to Luo City tomorrow. Let him rest for a while.
I nodded my head. When I arrived at the village square, I saw the soldiers standing in the square like they were all decent soldiers who were lined up in formations. At this moment, Rosa was in the lead of the troops, lecturing them.
Luo Sha told the soldiers about the new chain of command, where all the soldiers stood in three rows. There were only about fifty people in one of the queues. The remaining two queues were nearly two hundred.
I was wondering why there were three queues. However, Luo Sha opened her mouth and said: Now, those who are willing to follow General Han Xifei have split into two squadrons. The remaining people chose to remain in the village as soldiers who would continue to defend the villagers. I hope you will not forget your training during this time. At any time you can pick up a gun and fight the enemy.
Luo Sha paused for a moment, then said: That’s all I have to say, you can disperse now.
Looking at the fifty people slowly dissipating, I finally understood that these fifty people probably didn’t want to go to the battlefield. But I understood that there weren’t many people who wouldn’t want to go to the battlefield in peace.
I didn’t think about it before, and I don’t know how General Han Xifei did it. Out of the two hundred to three hundred people, only fifty are not willing to follow her to the battlefield.
Luo Sha looked at me, and continued: In the future, I will be the leader of the first squadron, and Yang Xiao will be the second squadron. We are all directly under General Han Xifei.
Luo Sha pointed at me who was beside the group of people, and everyone looked at me.
Luo Sha continued: The first squadron will now follow me.
After saying that, she brought the group to the entrance of the village, leaving behind only the second squadron in the village plaza. Wang Yan pushed me from behind and asked me to go forward to scold him.
I was a little discouraged and said to Wang Yan: “Go up and talk to them, I’ll stand beside you.”
Wang Yan went up and started to adjust the formation. After waiting for a while, she pointed at me and said: This is the captain of our second squadron, Yang Xiao. She will lead us into battle in the days to come. And I am your vice-captain Wang Yan. You guys also have a vice-captain called Da Gang. I won’t be feeling well today.
When they talked about Da Gang, everyone started laughing loudly, obviously they knew why he couldn’t come, but at this time, Wang Yan berated them and made them quiet down. The crowd became more obedient, and slowly quietened down.
Wang Yan then told them about leaving for the Luo City the next day, and also encouraged them a little and dismissed them.
When everyone had left, Wang Yan walked over and asked: How was it? How did I do?
I clapped my hands and said, Perfect.
Wang Yan rolled her eyes at me and said: Why aren’t you bringing up any constructive suggestions?
I scratched my head. So many people just now. You asked me to give you some advice.
When Wang Yan heard this, he chuckled and said: “I thought you were testing me.” So it turns out that you were the one who stopped playing.
I spread my hands and said, I’ve never led a soldier. I feel that Da Gang, you, and I are among the three. At the very least, you were once the leader of a group.
Fuck you! Wang Yan lightly punched me. Then she went on: I’ll have them assemble in the afternoon. The team needed to hone themselves a bit more. We also need to get used to leading soldiers, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to stand in front of a military platoon.
I feel that what Wang Yan said is very true, but fortunately Han Xifei arranged for me to become vice-captain. If Da Gang and Da Niu were to be assigned to me, then I reckon that I would not be able to control these people.
After lunch, I gathered the people of the second squadron together and started some daily training to get used to leading soldiers.
After an afternoon of training, I was finally able to control the pace of the team. However, they were still too reluctant to train with me. There were too many people with better marksmanship, but there weren’t many who could match me in close combat. It seems that he still had to rely on Da Gang.
On the morning of the second day, General Han Xifei summoned us all and prepared to send troops.
We bid farewell to the villagers with a wave of our hands and left Stone Village, heading towards Luo City which was two hundred kilometers away from Stone Village.
