An hour later, the soldier finally finished reporting.
The entire Drill Ground became extremely noisy.
Many soldiers went to the Quartermaster's place. Some felt that the number of beheading was wrong, and some had disputes with other soldiers about the beheading.
Within three days of the announcement, any dispute could be re-adjudicated.
Of course, if they were found to have lied, concealed, or slandered, the Qin law would severely punish them. No one dared to easily fake it.
Yang Chen was on the drill ground. His number of beheading was not wrong.
He believed that no one would dare to doubt him unless someone could produce clear evidence!
But that was impossible.
For three consecutive days, the entire Drill Ground was extremely noisy.
Finally, after three days, the military exploits were announced. The quartermaster would determine the merits based on the number of beheaded and the number of casualties in the team. The rewards and punishments would be determined.
In the tent, many soldiers had returned after finishing their training in the drill ground.
The announcement had just ended, and many soldiers were still excitedly discussing the battle merits.
At this moment, Yang Chen was also pondering over his battle achievements.
After a few days, Yang Chen had a rough idea of how to assess battle merits and enter the nobility ranks.
In the Qin army, under normal circumstances, an ordinary soldier could be promoted to a noble rank by killing one person. Of course, it was only if no one in the same team was seriously injured or killed.
If one of the members of the same rank died, then two must be killed to enter the rank of nobility. If two died, then three must be killed, and so on.
After becoming a First Class Duke or a Second Class Minister, one would have the opportunity to become a sergeant or a sergeant.
And after a sergeant or a sergeant rendered meritorious service, they would have the opportunity to be promoted to a station commander or a hundred generals.
The battle achievements of station commanders, hundred generals, and even higher-ranking generals were determined by the number of beheaded soldiers.
For example, a hundred generals must have a number of beheading, and the team must behead thirty-three people in addition to the number of their own deaths in order to be promoted.
Now, Yang Chen had beheaded dozens of people, and none of his comrades had died.
According to the standard of beheading an ordinary soldier, Yang Chen should have been promoted to rank 15.
However, this wasn't the case.
Now that Yang Chen was an ordinary soldier, the highest rank he could be promoted to was only the fourth rank.
(Rank 20: Public Scholar, Shangzao, Zanniao, Bugeng (Scholar); Da Fu, Guan Da Fu, Gong Da Fu, Gong Cheng (Da Fu); Five Great Officers, Left Shu Chang, Right Shu Chang, Left Geng, Middle Geng, Right Geng, Shao Shang Zao, Da Shang Zao, Si Che, Da Shu Chang (Qing); Lord of the Pass, Lord Che (Lord)
If an ordinary soldier wanted to be promoted after they were promoted to the fourth rank, they had to lead troops to kill enemies as an officer and then obtain military merits to kill enemies and be promoted to nobility.
Just as Yang Chen was thinking to himself!
Ta…
A soldier walked into the tent and swept his gaze across the people in the tent before shouting,"Who is Yang Chen?"
Hmm?
Yang Chen saw that someone was looking for him and asked curiously,"I am Yang Chen. What's the matter?"
"The general summoned me and sent me to pass on the news!”
The soldier cupped his hands respectfully towards Yang Chen. At the same time, his eyes did not forget to size up Yang Chen.
He didn't expect this person to be a fierce person in the army. He was actually so young!
The soldier exclaimed in his heart.
When Yang Chen heard that Wang He had summoned him, he did not hesitate and left with him.
The people in the tent behind him were all extremely envious.
The Commander-in-Chief of the three armies, a person of high status and authority, would actually specially summon ordinary soldiers. This was the first time they had seen such a thing.
Soon, Yang Chen followed the soldier all the way to the main camp.
"Reporting, General Yang Chen has arrived!"
The soldier went in to report.
"Enter!"
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes and calmly walked into the tent.
The tent was very large. The leader was a white-haired old general with a bright and spirited look. Below him, the generals of the various tribes stood on both sides.
"Greetings, General!"
"Greetings, generals!"
Yang Chen bowed. He was quite impressed by these veterans.
When Wang He and the other generals saw Yang Chen come in, their eyes were filled with surprise.
They didn't expect that this fierce soldier who had beheaded fifteen people was so young. He was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old!
This guy was a new recruit!
"Another valiant general has appeared in our Qin army!”
Wang He looked at Yang Chen and grinned. His eyes were filled with admiration.
"Hey, Yang Chen, are you a soldier under Lieutenant Liu Da?”
A middle-aged general called Cheng Li asked.
"Yes, General!"
Yang Chen nodded.
"Good kid, you've only been in the army for less than a year and you already have such a battle record!”
Cheng Li heard that Yang Chen was indeed a member of the new army and couldn't help but praise him.
"I really didn't expect him to be so brave!”
The generals beside him also sized up Yang Chen. They could not imagine that this fellow did not look extremely strong, but he was so brave.
"Yang Chen, you killed fifteen people in this battle.”
"With your battle achievements, you should be promoted to Rank 4. After the king's approval, the county magistrate will confer you a rank!”
Wang He said slowly to Yang Chen.
As Yang Chen listened, it was indeed similar to what he had calculated. He could only be promoted to the highest rank of a soldier.
"At your age, I spent a full three years in the army before I was promoted to the rank of nobility. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be promoted to the rank of nobility in less than a year.”
Wang He sighed with a smile.
The other generals around him also laughed. They had spent several years to enter the rank of nobility, but they did not expect this recruit to be promoted to the rank of nobility in less than a year.
Moreover, he was still so young. As long as he did not die on the battlefield in the future and trained more, he would definitely become a great general!
Yang Chen rubbed his nose as he listened. Actually, he had only fought one battle!
"Generals praise me!"
Yang Chen said politely.
Wang He nodded. He looked at Yang Chen and hesitated for a moment before continuing,
"Since you have been promoted to the rank of Bugeng, you should naturally lead the army to fight. I intend to appoint you as a hundred generals.”
Hearing this, many generals were slightly surprised and looked at Wang He.
He didn't expect that the general would think so highly of this guy, appointing a recruit less than a year old as a hundred generals.
Although this kid was strong and brave, his ability to command troops was not necessarily strong. If he caused heavy losses to his soldiers, not only would he be punished, but he would even be demoted.
However, this fellow had been promoted to the rank of a general.
"General! This one is willing!"
When Yang Chen heard this, he did not hesitate at all.
It was just a hundred people, could it be difficult for him?
Moreover, if he wanted to be promoted, he had to become a general!
