The audience actually didn't care much about the episode that just happened.
What they really care about is whether the performance will continue, even though for veterans, they have seen many such shows.
The gong sounded and then stopped. Everyone's attention returned to the center of the stage, and many people were betting on whether the previous performance would continue or skip to the next one.
No one expected that it would be Lin Hai who walked onto the stage.
Lin Hai stood up from his seat and walked onto the stage step by step amid the surprised looks of the people around him. As the torches on the stage gradually illuminated his face, the scene became lively.
Many people have seen Lin Hai, and many people have not. Some people who have seen Lin Hai don’t even know that he is the founder of Qinghe. Just like Liu Sanwa, in his impression, the legendary county magistrate Lin and the rich boy in the refugee camp have always been two people.
Lin Hai stood on the stage, listening to everyone's cheers for a full minute with great enjoyment, then he pressed his hands down, and instantly there was silence.
"Hello, soldiers, I am Lin Hai." The simple opening remarks once again aroused waves of applause and cheers. This was the first time that everyone expressed their emotions in this way after Lin Hai abolished the kneeling etiquette in the army.
"I'm sure none of you expected that I'd be on stage next. Well, I didn't expect that myself." Lin Hai smiled as he looked at the team he had built. "But everyone should also keep an eye on the people around them. If anyone gets thrown up again, I won't be able to handle it."
"Hahahahahahaha." The soldiers burst into laughter, and some of them loudly promised that they would not be thrown onto the stage, and even if they were thrown up, they would swear to defend Lin Hai to the death.
After making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Hai casually asked, "Can anyone tell me how many people we need to capture the camp ahead? And how long will it take?"
...
No one thought that Lin Hai would ask the soldiers such a question. Not even the soldiers themselves thought of it. Shouldn't such questions be thought about by the officers?
The most embarrassing thing was the silence of the whole audience.
Suddenly, someone shouted from the darkness: "We, the third group, can do it in one day. I don't know how long it will take for the fourth group."
Lin Hai looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Zhang Jin, the commander of the third regiment, who popped his head out in the darkness and then retreated into the night.
"This young man is still very promising." Zhang Jin never thought that this sentence would add so much points to his impression in Lin Hai's mind.
The soldiers on the scene came from various regiments. Lin Hai deliberately arranged for them to take turns watching the performance of the art troupe after they were dispersed in order to increase the tacit understanding and trust between the various troops.
Someone couldn't stand it any longer. One soldier stood up and said loudly, "The third regiment will take a day, but if the county magistrate lets the fourth regiment go, half a day will be enough."
"Bah, Liu Laoheizi, what are you bragging about? If you ask me, if our Third Regiment's First Battalion can't defeat those chickens and dogs on the opposite side within an hour, you'll be my son."
It was obvious that Liu Laoheizi hadn't figured out why the Third Regiment's First Battalion hadn't taken the city, and why he had to be treated like a son to them. However, now was not the time for him to think about it, because someone from the First Regiment said, "The enemy's elite troops were already wiped out by our First Regiment. The credit for annihilating the enemy must go to our First Regiment. If we send out a hundred-man squad, we can finish this job beautifully by tomorrow morning before you even finish your breakfast."
"A hundred-man team? Why don't you just say you can do it alone?"
"I can do it alone. It'll just take me an extra quarter of an hour."
"Why don't you say you can go to heaven?"
"Even if you go to heaven, I won't go to heaven."
...
"Alright, alright." Lin Hai didn't want the situation to get out of control, so he quickly stopped them. "I know your abilities. But then again, without any abilities, how could you possibly be selected into the Qinghe Army? You know, the incompetent ones are all hiding on the other side. We're all top-notch warriors on our side."
"Hahahahahahaha." Everyone laughed again. It was a happy thing for everyone to receive public praise and recognition from the highest commander.
"Then, who can tell me why we don't kill all those trash on the opposite side in one go? Instead, we have to dawdle here?" This question is obviously difficult to answer.
Lin Hai patiently scanned the crowd, and after his gaze had moved through the crowd three times, someone whispered, "Is it because of the training?"
"Oh?" Lin Hai found that the person who answered was not Tuo, so he became interested and said, "Stand up, soldier, and tell me who you are."
"Sir, I am Ma Zhao, a crossbowman from the 100th squadron of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment. In today's battle, I will be responsible for suppressing the enemy's positions from a distance and covering the heavy infantry's charge."
"Okay, Soldier Ma Zhao, tell me why you think I'm training soldiers?"
"this..."
"It's okay, speak boldly." Lin Hai encouraged, "No one will be convicted for their words today. I can guarantee that. Well, you will believe my promise, right?"
"I believe it, I definitely believe it." Encouraged, Ma Zhao blushed and quickly said, "Because our centurion said that the heavy infantry can only break through two trenches and must return. We crossbowmen cannot rush more than 200 steps and can only provide long-range cover.
The heavy infantry changed formations and charged several times, and we used different fire rates to provide cover. We'd practiced this in training, but this was our first time actually going into battle. I figured the officers might want to see if their training was truly effective.
