Chapter 436 First Meeting
A large bowl of rice, a large bowl of white flour steamed buns, a large bowl of boiled mutton, a large bowl of green vegetable leaves, a large pile of wooden bowls and bamboo chopsticks, Ding Ergou rubbed his hands and looked at them Quanxin and Zhang Quanyi said with some embarrassment: "Two generals, we are in such a hurry that we don't have time to prepare anything good to eat, so we just make do with it. When we get to Aquarius State, there is everything there, unlike the backcountry here. "
" Colonel Ding was joking, how can such a meal be called simple? " Xinxin handed over: "It's us who have caused trouble for you. "
It can be seen that Ding Ergou is. A very attentive person.
I know that one of these two generals is from Shuzhong and is accustomed to eating rice, while the other is from the north and must be more accustomed to eating pasta. Naturally, their men are also the same. In a short period of time, they The ability to prepare these things is already impressive.
Although there were only two dishes, the room was full of aroma. There were a lot of spices in the boiled mutton, but the smell was almost suppressed.
"You guys eat first, someone will come to arrange your dormitories later, but I want to apologize. There is still a lot of preparation work to be done tonight, so I won't accompany you two!" Ding Ergou smiled.
"Excuse me, captain!" Xinxin and Zhang Quanyi said goodbye to Ding Ergou politely.
After running around all day, everyone only ate some dry food they brought with them at noon. They were already hungry. At this moment, delicious food was in front of them. After Xinxin and Zhang Quanyi gave the order, they immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started working directly. .
No matter how crowded the house is, Quanxin and Zhang Quanyi will naturally have a single room, but the others can only squeeze into the Datong bunkhouse. Fortunately, they are all making a living in the army, so there is nothing Not used to it.
The third watch clapper had just sounded, but the melodious sound of horns was heard again.
As the horns sounded, the Zhe Chong Mansion became busy.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded continuously. When Zhang Quanyi opened the door and walked out, Xinxin also walked out from the corridor opposite.
"What happened?" Zhang Quanyi grabbed a soldier and asked.
“The first group of government soldiers who were ordered to gather has arrived! We have to arrange for them immediately. Since the first group has arrived, I am afraid that the following ones will continue to follow. I originally thought that they would not arrive until tomorrow morning. It looks like it's early!" Xiao Bing broke away from Zhang Quanyi's hand and ran out quickly.
"Go and take a look?" Xinxin said.
“Of course you have to go and have a look!” Zhang Quanyi nodded.
Everyone in the pass knows that the troops outside the pass are fierce. New Xin has no intuitive feeling, but Zhang Quanyi has fought against the Guan army led by Li Guohua and Chang Lei. That kind of army thinks it is elite. The feeling of being defeated in front of the opponent is really uncomfortable.
If the current army of the Beiting Protectorate has the same combat effectiveness as Linghuye’s army, and as Ding Ergou said, such an army can gather hundreds of thousands of people, then Li Dachui is indeed capable of something big. Expect.
But think about it, this is also very difficult.
The army of the Beiting Protectorate is divided into standing army and government troops. The standing army should be the elite, and the government troops should be much inferior.
No matter how strong a group of farmers assembled temporarily, they can't get there!
While talking, the two of them had walked along the street to the school grounds outside.
Around the school grounds, dozens of torches have been lit, illuminating the entire school grounds.
And there, Ding Ergou was already standing there fully armed. Seeing the two people coming, Ding Ergou just nodded.
At this moment, he was the general who ordered the troops, and these two were just spectators. No matter how high their status was, they could only stay aside. The horns of horns sounded continuously. Standing on the school grounds, a fire dragon was rapidly approaching here in the distance, and faster than the fire dragon was the sound of horse hooves.
In just a moment, a cavalry team of more than ten people appeared on the school field. The leader was a bearded man. When he saw Ding Ergou, a beautiful side profile Leap, the horse has not stopped yet, the other person has landed steadily, holding the reins in his hand and trotting a few steps, just in front of Ding Ergou, and the horse also stopped a step behind him. land.
This riding skill dazzled both Zhang Quanyi and Xinxin on the other side.
However, the next dozen or so cavalrymen all made the same swish and swish movements, but these dozen people all stopped behind the bearded man.
"Colonel Lieutenant, the head of Jishan Village and Pan Xiong, the commander of the Fubing Corps, are here to report! There are eleven cavalrymen and fifty infantrymen in Jishan Village, all of them are here!" The bearded man said in a loud voice. He glanced around and saw no one else. The faces of the team suddenly showed uncontrollable pride.
Han Si, who rushed over, explained to Zhang Quanyi and Xinxin in a low voice: "Jishan Village is not the closest to here. He was the first to arrive, surpassing all the teams."
Speaking Suddenly, the chaotic sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind, but this time it was chaotic Worse, there were dozens of people, some riding horses and some riding mules. Just after they stepped into the school grounds, they all got off their mounts, regardless of their mounts, and trotted over. In the process of running, , these fifty people have formed a neat team of five rows and ten columns. When he stood behind the bearded man and the ten cavalry, he was already holding his head high, wearing light armor, with a knife across his waist and a long gun. There were many cowhide buckles hanging on his waist. There are all kinds of weapons, some of which even Zhang Quanyi and Xinxin don't recognize.
Ding Ergou nodded, waved his hand, and a lieutenant stood up next to him, holding a roll of roster in his hand, and began to call names.
Every time you click on one, you hear a loud response.
Both Zhang Quanyi and Quanxin understood that once the order was completed, these people were no longer farmers, but soldiers, and they were enforcing military law.
The sound of the horn sounded again in the distance.
The second team is also here.
When Quanxin and Zhang Quanyi returned to the backyard of the government office, the bangs of the fourth watch had just been struck, and within this watch, one thousand and two people belonging to Ding Ergou’s Gongqin Town All the hundreds of soldiers were already present.
The two people who didn't pay much attention to it originally had a completely different mentality after seeing the performance of these soldiers.
If they hadn't seen with their own eyes that this was just a team that had just been assembled for less than one update, the two of them would have thought that this was an elite army that had undergone rigorous training for a long time.
"All grassroots officers are selected from the standing army!" Han Si still assumed the role of explanation: "They usually take people from the village for training, and then every quarter, they will attend the government meeting There is a school performance, and there is a major school performance every year. The Beiting Protectorate uses the same drill code, and the soldiers trained are naturally made from the same mold."
" Colonel Ding said yesterday. , such an army can gather hundreds of thousands of people!"
"He is talking about combat soldiers!" Han Si said proudly: "If you include auxiliary soldiers and other special forces, the number is huge! Far more than that. Both generals said that there are more than three million people outside the pass. It's just that the area is too large and spread out too much, so it seems like it's sparsely populated. In the past, everyone was doing their own thing, but now they are doing their own thing. But it’s different. Everyone has to listen to the Beiting Protectorate. If you work hard in one place and twist the rope together, the power will naturally become stronger and stronger.”
“Okay, great!” Zhang Quanyi and Quanxin couldn't help but feel happy. The stronger the forces outside the customs and the stronger the military, which means that their subordinates will be stronger in the future.
They were still a little doubtful at first, but after seeing Ding Ergou's 1,200 men and horses today, the two of them instantly became more confident.
With such a strong army, what can't be accomplished?
