"Well, Captain, weren't we going to fight head-on? Why did you choose to retreat and keep your distance?" Although Ma Wen conveyed the order as quickly as possible, he still asked the question in his heart.
Ding Lin could only express regret about this. It seemed that not every student of the principal could become successful. This group of later students had much better teaching and living conditions than the first batch of students, but when it came to learning outcomes, there were really few that could show off.
Just like this Ma Wen, the fact that he was assigned to the first regiment shows that the principal had high hopes for him, but in the end... Alas, he couldn't even figure out this little problem, I really don't know how he passed the assessment.
"There's no assessment at all." Lin Hai turned around and said to Wang Liang, "Brother, are you worried that these new students won't be able to perform well? Don't worry, your concerns are correct. From what I see now, not only them, but also the first twelve graduates, all need more training. As for the so-called completion of the assessment before graduation, it's all a lie. After all, I don't know how to assess them. I can only teach them everything I know. That's why I let them guide the younger students and explore step by step. Don't worry, if they persist for a few years, those who survive will be successful. Therefore, there is no assessment at all, or rather, only actual combat can be their test."
In response to Wang Liang's question about whether sending a large number of recently graduated or even ungraduated night school students to the army would affect its combat effectiveness and whether they should be assessed before joining, Lin Hai offered this response. Wang Liang—yes, the upright and righteous county lieutenant legendary among students and the people—quickly covered Lin Hai's mouth. "Keep your voice down! If that's the case, we must speak with one voice and say they've passed the assessment to graduate from night school. As for the dangers of joining the battlefield after graduation... war is inevitable, and those who die are just passing the test." The upright county lieutenant offered a solution that would immediately resolve the issue.
As for Ding Lin, he finally patiently explained to his junior classmate about "understanding the mission, breaking down the mission, and the ten elements of being an officer..."
"As long as you connect all the things you've learned, you'll naturally arrive at the optimal result. Our ultimate goal is to strike as many enemies as possible before the main force arrives, so forcing the enemy to commit more troops to the battlefield is our first priority. To achieve this goal, don't even think about retreating a hundred steps. If performing a striptease in front of the battlefield can achieve the desired effect, I will not hesitate to use military law to force you to do it! You must understand that military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"
The leaders of the coalition forces witnessed with their own eyes how Cao Dadang's team, using the most primitive large shields made of logs, gradually forced the Qinghe Army to retreat.
The Qinghe Army demonstrated excellent quality during their retreat. Not only did they maintain their formation, they even launched three counterattacks using powerful crossbows, including one rocket attack. However, they were able to penetrate Cao Dadang's shield formation.
These gave the leaders great confidence.
Judging from the current situation, as long as Cao Da Dang approaches the Qinghe Army, he can use his numerical advantage to launch a hand-to-hand fight. By then, the Qinghe vanguard army will not be completely wiped out, but will at least suffer heavy losses.
How could such a credit be enjoyed by Mr. Cao alone?
You must know that although Cao Dadang's soldiers were trained by himself, the plan of holding up the shield was thought up by him, and even the logging was done by his own soldiers, but when they defected to Qitian Village, it was agreed that Xiangyun Province belonged to everyone, so naturally other leaders also had a share of these trees. So shouldn't everyone have a share of the advantages that Cao Dadang gained on the battlefield?
While some of the big bosses were racking their brains to find a reasonable reason for their actions, the two impatient ones had already set off with their troops. Although the army formation that had just taken shape was destroyed the moment the order to advance was given, it didn't matter. As long as they rushed forward quickly and followed the shield formation, they would definitely get a share of the credit.
"Bah, shameless. He actually rushed up before me."
The bosses also had to save face, so when they saw that two of their teams had already followed, the others immediately stopped mobilizing. Otherwise, even if they rushed forward, they would only be ranked fourth, so it would be better not to go. In the simple values of the bosses, if a thing cannot be ranked in the first three, it is better not to go.
In any case, the coalition forces helped Ding Lin get what he wanted, at least three-eighths of it.
Seeing that about 4,000 more soldiers had been added to the shield formation in front of him, and that the shield formation was obviously unable to protect everyone, he could no longer contain his anger.
They were still a little closer, and Ding Lin kept reminding himself to avoid getting too nervous and giving the wrong order. He turned around and asked, "Marven, if you were in charge, what would you do? Come up with a few more options."
Marvin was delighted when he heard this. Oh my god, this cold and arrogant senior finally asked for his opinion, and such an important one at such a tense moment. Thinking of this, Marvin felt even more refreshed. He quickly replied, "Or send out cavalry to cut in from the rear where there are no large shields, cutting off their retreat."
Ding Lin thought to himself, "It seems that it is not a good time for the cavalry to go into battle yet."
Marvin: "Either we send out sword and shield soldiers to destroy their large shields directly, and then use crossbows to attack from a distance."
Ding Lin thought to himself: "Let's put the sword and shield soldiers in the back formation. They should be useful when the time comes."
Marvin: "If all else fails, take out the No. 0 material. Even though it's a little less, it's incredibly powerful and can easily break this shield."
