Chapter 1368: Servant Army (2)

I originally wanted to have a three-four ride out to have fun, but I didn't expect that there would be no enough points at all, and the servant soldiers would be counted as two horses, at least they were still excellent cavalry, but why should other infantry have a horse to travel? They're infantry!

Of course, the cavalry squadron did not dare to rebel, it was just a complaint, after all, Zhao Hu controlled five personal guards, twenty-five rear soldiers, more than eight hundred servant soldiers and four semi-crippled squadrons, and the one hundred and twenty-five people in the cavalry squadron were not qualified to compete with Zhao Hu at all.

"1,456 sabers, 1,211 bows, and 300 pots of arrows have been captured, and the equipment that can still be used has been selected and given to the servant soldiers, and the rest have been handed over to the logistics soldiers for repair." Dio said.

"Is there enough food?" Zhao Hu asked.

"The food we have brought is enough for us to feed for two or three years, which is very sufficient, but now there are more servants of archers, and there are not enough arrows, on average, up to four pots and eighty arrows per person.

"Metal weapons are almost impossible to obtain on the grasslands, and once you run out of arrows, you can only fight in close combat, and it is very dangerous to encounter flag herders at that time." Dio looked worried.

Losing a remote weapon on the grassland is simply a death, and the flag herdsmen can kill all of their own people without getting close.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment.

"Can you melt the captured saber and forge it into an arrow?"

Dio smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The logistics soldiers of the brigade can only polish, assemble, and repair these simple jobs, and will not do the work of a blacksmith, even if they can, our brigade does not have the tools of a blacksmith." ”

Zhao Hu was speechless, while Zhou Wen took it for granted and said, "There should be a blacksmith in the settlement of the pastoral banner on this grassland, right?" Shall we find a settlement with few people and bring the blacksmiths captive? ”

Dio shook his head again: "Don't forget, now that the Feimu Banner Alliance has led a million troops to attack the empire, the consumption of ordnance is very terrifying, and the blacksmiths of the entire prairie are probably with the army." ”

"You can't take all the tools away, right? Why do you leave one or two pieces behind, and just grab those tools? ”

"The Flying Banner Alliance is poor in materials, and the blacksmith is very valuable, will the blacksmith's eating tools be thrown away in the gathering place? Of course I carried it with me. ”

Dio replied helplessly, Zhou Wen could only open his mouth for this, not knowing what to say.

Knowing that he couldn't solve this problem, Zhao Hu put this problem aside and didn't think about it for a while, and then he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the unusually restrained and quiet servant soldiers around him, and got up and walked towards them.

Zhou Wen, who was following behind Zhao Hu, frowned and said, "These servant soldiers are too servile, and they will only stay in the team stupidly when they rest, unlike our imperial soldiers who are running around.

"Although they are obedient, they make people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it, it's like a group of dead people, let them fight like this, I'm afraid they will be hacked to death in an instant."

"Hehe, isn't that good? Now they were more than eight hundred, more than our entire brigade, and they were all armed with weapons and horses, and if they were like our Imperial soldiers, we would be finished by now. Dio laughed.

"Hmph, it's not pleasing to the eye anyway!" Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows.

Dio shook his head again: "No way, they were told that they were someone's property as soon as they were born, and they had no ego at all, I inquired, these low-level flag people not only have no property rights, but also have no right to marry freely, except for those who were appreciated by the flag owner and pointed out to marry and start a family, others can only contact women in order to increase the population." ”

"Isn't that the same as livestock? It's so pitiful. ”

Zhou Wen immediately took pity on him, his rapidly changing personality, if he was a beauty, he might be cute, but a ...... It's weird.

Dio sneered: "Pathetic? Hmph, don't look at them like dead people now, when they attack and plunder externally, it is rape * adultery and plunder, burning, killing and looting, doing everything, doing everything, once they go crazy, even their banner owners can't control them!

"So in the battle between the shepherds, most of the losers were wiped out! Alas, the populace on the borders of our empire suffered. ”

"How can it be so extreme?" Zhou Wen looked surprised.

"It's probably because they're usually suppressed to death, so once it breaks out, it's so crazy, I don't know if it's right for the commander to accept them as servant soldiers, it's all the damn squad leader who proposed it randomly, otherwise there would be no need to worry so much." Dio said helplessly.

"The chief should be able to control them firmly, the chief is very powerful." Zhou Wen looked confident.

Dio finally nodded.

The servant soldiers, who were a little too quiet, found that Zhao Hu appeared in front of them, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a half-baked common language: "See the master." ”

Zhao Hu asked them to get up, and the servants hesitated for a moment before getting up and standing.

Looking at the godless eyes of those servants, Zhao Hu always felt very uncomfortable, frowned and said, "Officers above the rank of captain are out of the ranks." ”

The servants all stood stunned, and none of them came out.

Seeing Zhao Hu frowning, Dio hurriedly stepped forward and reminded in a whisper: "Sir, their officers have all been killed by us. ”

Zhao Hu nodded slightly, and then said to the stunned servant soldiers in front of him: "You all five people elect a team leader. ”

When Zhao Hu said this, the servant soldiers still stayed in place in a daze, and did not react, now Zhao Hu is not so simple as frowning.

The experienced Dio immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, they are from the bottom of the Shepherd Banner, and the Flying Muqi allies have no writing, so they don't know the military system of our empire at all, so you'd better use the titles of Centurion and Centurion." And if you're going to appoint officers, it's better to have them compete to determine the winner.

"If you let them nominate them, they will be at a loss, because they are low-level flag people who have no relationship at all."

No words? A country that doesn't have a written word?

Zhao Hu turned his head to Sun Jie and said, "Call a few people over and let them form a team of ten." ”

There is no way to do anything about the self-conscious servant soldiers, because they probably don't even know a few people.

As soon as Sun Jie heard this, he immediately greeted a few good brothers, and shouted proudly, he had an experience, and soon let the servant soldiers line up in a team of ten people in eighty-three queues, and the last team was fourteen people, a total of eight hundred and forty-four people.

Seeing that Zhao Hu was about to train the servant soldiers, the imperial soldiers who were playing around all surrounded him with great interest.

Zhao Hu said: "Listen, now each group of two will fight, and the winner of each group will be appointed as the commander of the ten." Sun Jie, pick some soldiers to serve as referees, one for each group. ”

As soon as these words came out, the servant soldiers looked shocked, and the imperial soldiers gathered outside couldn't wait to wave and shout to Sun Jie, asking him to choose himself as the referee, and some soldiers with strong gambling temperament had already begun to pay for it.

Sun Jie, who singled out eighty-three soldiers as referees, reprimanded him as the chief referee: "Okay, let's let, make the field bigger, draw a circle, those who go out of the circle will lose, the referee can start, remember not to use weapons, don't beat people to death!" ”

And Zhao Hu, under the persuasion of Zhou Wen, was already sitting on a low stool and began to watch the fight.

Zhou Wen asked Dio in a low voice, "Uncle, is the commander going to let the servant soldiers command himself?" ”

Dio stroked his beard and smiled: "What else should I do?" Can the commander draw men from the regular army to command them? And, that's not bad, at least these minions don't look like the dead people they just looked like just now. ”

Although the servants on the field were expressionless, their hot eyes and desperate movements had already exposed their feelings.

Zhou Wen sincerely admired his chief, and he was able to think of this way to turn these dead people into living people.

It didn't take long for the eighty-three victors with blue noses and swollen faces to kneel in front of Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu got up and nodded and said, "Very good, you are the ten-captain of your team." ”

Hearing this, the eighty-three servant soldiers raised their heads suddenly, looked at Zhao Hu in a daze, and then kowtowed violently and shouted, "Thank you master for promoting!" I swear in the name of the wolf god that I will be loyal to my master forever! ”

After swearing and looking up, their faces were already glowing red and smiling with joy and tears.

Zhao Hu didn't care about this oath, only the careful Zhou Wen kept this change in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Geralt looked jealous, he was familiar with the customs of the shepherd's flag, and knew that these servants swore an oath by the blue wolf god, and used the word "eternal", which meant that he was completely loyal to Zhao Hu.

It is impossible for them to be captured by others now, because once they are in a desperate situation, they will only fight to the death, just like those flag herding officers not long ago.

Of course, Geralt would not tell Zhao Hu about these things, and he always regretted the last time he said the habits of the flag soldiers.

Glancing at those failed servant soldiers, and finding that they no longer had a dead face, but instead showed a look of annoyance and envy, Zhao Hu couldn't help but smile.

"Fight again, and choose eight centurions."

The ten-captains were shocked: "Yes! ”

It was a loud sound that didn't seem like a group of them could make, and there was a strong battle intent in their eyes.

At the beginning of the fight, the fanatical cheering of the Imperial soldiers who began to concentrate the bets resounded in the sky, and the servant soldiers who were shrouded in the warm atmosphere also began to try to cheer for their ten-captain.

When they set off the next day, the servants had a new look, their eyes were no longer dead, and their teammates could occasionally talk to each other, especially the ten-captains and centurions, who were completely like a different person, and automatically scolded their subordinates and guarded their surroundings.
