On the other side, Song Qingshu and Taitish had already arrived at the camp of the loyal army west of the city. Just as they arrived at the entrance, they saw two armies in the midst of a battle. The attacks from one side were like a tidal wave, wave after wave of attacks, intensifying with each passing moment. On the other side, the attacks were as firm as a boulder, repelling wave after wave of attacks in an orderly manner without the slightest hint of chaos.
Song Qingshu inwardly nodded in approval. In a war, the number of troops could vary. However, due to the battlefield's terrain, the number of troops that could be deployed at the same time was limited. Many mediocre individuals would lead an army of several hundred thousand, but only a few tens of thousands of frontline troops would be able to engage the enemy. A large portion of their strength would be wasted. Only a peerless genius like Han Xin would be able to mobilize the fighting strength of an army of several hundred thousand, splitting them into dozens of groups. Wave after wave, they would take turns to charge at the enemy's camp without the slightest pause. It was as though an army of several hundred thousand was charging at the enemy's camp at the same time, until the enemy's camp was completely crushed.
The crux of this was the problem of linking up in the middle. If there was even the slightest bit of ambiguity, it would be easy for the enemy to grasp the flaw and counter attack!
Song Qingshu was a man who had been on the battlefield several times. With his insight, the attacking side could be said to be impeccable, not revealing any flaws that could be grasped.
The defending side was even more impressive. Under such a tidal wave of attacks, their formation was not the slightest bit disrupted!
Taitish came to his side and reported, "The attacking side is commanded by Pusan Feihan, while the defending side is commanded by Tang Kuo Hongda. One attacking and one defending, they are currently practicing."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I can't help but admire your insight. If placed on the battlefield, these two would be world-shaking generals."
"Many thanks for the compliment!" The corners of Taitish's lips curled up slightly. She didn't realize that a simple compliment from this man would actually make her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
Originally, Taitish intended to summon these mid-level commanders to meet with Song Qingshu. However, Song Qingshu stopped her and watched the entire drill with keen interest.
However, Song Qingshu did not underestimate Fu San Feihan at all. After all, both sides had the same number of troops in the drill, and the defending side had an advantage over the attacking side. In a real battle, the attacking side was the one with the initiative. They would look for a suitable opportunity to strike, and at the same time, they would not give the defending side a fair fight. Usually, they would surround and annihilate the defending side in a short period of time.
When the drill was over, Taitish summoned the high-ranking military officers to the main tent. Unaware that the present Tang Kuo Bian was no longer the Tang Kuo Bian of the past, the high-ranking military officers still bowed and saluted him respectfully.
After all, every single one of them was in dire straits previously. If not for Tang Kuo Bian making an exception and promoting them, they would still be at the bottom of the hierarchy. Therefore, this show of respect and gratitude was genuine.
As these people paid their respects to Song Qingshu, Taitish secretly introduced their names to him through telepathy, allowing him to match their names with the information in his mind. This way, he wouldn't be exposed if he mistook them for someone else.
After exchanging greetings, Song Qingshu cleared his throat and said, "I have come here for two matters. First, I would like to formally introduce you to the future Commander of the Loyal Filial Piety Army, Monk Wanyan Chen!"
Commander was an official title of the Jin Kingdom, similar to the Chinese word for commander.
His words caused an uproar. These Deputy Commanders were all men of great ability. They had always thought that the position of Commander would be chosen among them. Therefore, each of them gave it their all in a competition. Unfortunately, each of them had their own unique skills and none of them could suppress the others. Deep down, they were secretly admiring each other. But now, an unknown person suddenly appeared out of nowhere to be their leader. Who could stand it?
Tang Kuo Bian's prestige was so great that they didn't dare to say anything. But towards Monk Wanyan Chen, they weren't so polite. Among them, Pusan Feihan was the first to speak, "May I know what position this general held and what impressive achievements he had?"
Taitish glanced worriedly at Song Qingshu. She had always disapproved of the appointment of a leader out of nowhere. This group of arrogant and valiant soldiers would never accept it. However, Song Qingshu persisted. Now, he was leisurely sipping on his tea, as if he didn't see the scene before him.
Of course, Song Qingshu wasn't worried. After all, Monk Wanyan Chen was a famous and valiant general in history. He had defeated the insufferably arrogant Mongolian army several times. If he couldn't even handle such a small situation, how could he leave his name in history?
Seeing that he didn't show any signs of dissatisfaction, the Deputy Commanders were instantly emboldened and began to join in the ridicule.
On the way, when Song Qingshu mentioned to him that he wanted to promote him to Commander of the Loyal Army, Monk Wanyan Chen had already expected such a situation. Seeing this, he calmly replied, "I didn't have an official position in the past, nor did I have any impressive achievements."
Hearing his reply, the ridicule on the Deputy Commanders' faces intensified. "So you're a Nameless pawn. I wonder where you get the confidence to become the Commander of the Loyal Army? Seeing that you're tall and sturdy, we can make an exception and take you in as a small soldier. "
Monk Wanyan Chen snorted coldly and took a step forward. His whole body was like a mountain pressing down on them. "Even the six of you together are no match for me!"
"Arrogant to the extreme!" The Deputy Commanders had long been displeased with him. Among them, Tang Kuo Minghui was the first to lose control and immediately threw a punch at Monk Wanyan.
Song Qingshu watched calmly from the sidelines. According to Taitish's introduction, Tang Kuo Minghui was an expert in surprise attacks. In history, generals who were experts in surprise attacks, such as Chang Yuchun and Xiahou Yuan, were all hot-tempered and impetuous people. Naturally, Tang Kuo Minghui was no exception.
However, he could be considered a meticulous person. Most likely, he thought that since he was from the Tang Kuo Clan, he wouldn't receive any substantial punishment even if he were to be reprimanded.
Tang Kuo Minghui's martial arts were considered decent. It was a pity that he didn't know that Monk Wanyan Chen was born with godly strength!
Facing his opponent's punch, Monk Wanyan Chen didn't even raise his hand. Instead, he leaned to the side and evaded the punch. Tang Kuo Minghui instantly felt as if he had been hit by a ferocious beast. He was sent flying far away and fell to the ground. For a moment, his blood and Qi were in turmoil and he couldn't get up.
Tang Kuo Hongda and Tang Kuo Shengrong had always been on the same side as Minghui. Seeing this, they attacked Monk Wanyan Chen from the left and right respectively. Monk Wanyan Chen remained motionless, allowing the two to grab him from the left and right.
Tang Kuo Hongda and Tang Kuo Shengrong exerted their strength together, planning to throw their opponent to the ground to take revenge for their friend. Unfortunately, when they threw their opponent, he didn't even budge an inch!
The two of them didn't hold back anymore. Their faces were as red as pig's liver. Unfortunately, Monk Wanyan Chen stood there like a boulder.
Fu San Fei Han and Hexi Lie Ziren looked at each other. Just a moment ago, they had the mentality of watching a show. But now, they could tell that the opponent's martial arts were far superior to theirs. If Tang Kuo Hongda and Hexi Lie Ziren were defeated, it would be pointless for them to attack.
Although the few of them usually fought fiercely, they were still a loyal army. Thus, they attacked each other at the same time. This time, Monk Wanyan Chen finally made his move. He stretched out his huge palms and grabbed the opponent's fists. Fu San Fei Han and Hexi Lie Ziren felt as if their fists were being clamped by a vise. They couldn't advance or retreat even if they wanted to.
