Outside Yanmen Pass, Zhang Liao kept moving to various troops. He needed to know in detail what the Confederates were like in the aftermath of the war.

The number of dead was not very large. Only thirty-two people were killed. This figure is too small for the Confederates, whose lives are not very valuable. But the number of injured people is relatively large, most of them are arm or abdominal injuries. Hack and slash frequently attacked positions. Plus they don't have any extra armor in the first place. Confederate soldiers also rarely used armor in their preferred combat careers.

More than 470 people were injured. Most of them were sent to field hospitals established by the Republican Army.

But in the field hospital, they are not in peace. The alcohol content of medical alcohol is very high. Zhang Liao only had a preliminary understanding, and it was probably more than 70 percent. Exactly how much, he didn't ask. But it's a good wine. Confederate soldiers were a general alcoholic. Many of them are good drinkers. For example, they would sell their horses and get some good wine. And most of the ones sold to them are high-grade liquor above 50 degrees, and even, directly use medical alcohol to solve the problem.

Therefore, in the field hospital, there are frequent thefts of medical alcohol by wounded soldiers, and even, they pour a large mouthful of medical alcohol in one go.

It is impossible for the stomach and intestines to adapt to such a high level of alcohol all at once. As a result, gastrointestinal bleeding is even higher than the number of casualties. Because many "drunkards" will secretly go to the field hospital to steal alcohol.

Zhou Cang reprimanded him as wild and untamable. Zhang Liao couldn't do anything about it.

They are brave, but they are brave and unrestrained. There is no discipline. When the battle is unfavorable, it is easy to form a rout. For example, this time, there were too many accidents that were easy to solve, which made it even more difficult for him to deal with.

The place where the Confederate soldiers lived was filthy. Many non-commissioned officers kept teaching them to keep their personal hygiene as neat as possible, but this did not change their nature at all. For example, open defecation. The newly issued military coats soon became filthy. It was oily, snotty. It's disgusting to watch.

Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers helplessly. Because this is no longer a problem for non-commissioned officers. The antagonism between ordinary soldiers and non-commissioned officers is very serious. They considered officers and non-commissioned officers to be dogs of the Republican Army. And they have their own way of doing things, and this is the consequence of being maverick.

Zhang Liao had a headache about this, and the military judge was already very clear that they were hopeless. Unless the most brutal training methods are adopted. and discipline, such as decisive killings to deal with people who would normally obey orders.

Because according to the rules of the steppe, only extremely bloody military law can suppress their wanton and reckless hearts. But in that case, it is easy to have another situation, brutal and uncontrollable.

Zhang Liao did not want such a force to become such a situation. But it really doesn't care much about them.

The replenishment of troops is very limited, a battle that has just ended has put many people in field hospitals, and various diseases, autumn is an important season for the flu. The situation has become very unfavorable, even bad. Because Zhang Liao saw a fifteen-year-old baby soldier. But for nomads, fifteen years old, it is time to go to war.

"Uh-oh." Zhang Liao stopped outside a barracks, and he saw the Allied soldiers throwing stones idly and boredly, and they were farther than who threw them. It must be said that the Confederate soldiers had a good foundation, because they often bent their bows and arrows, their arm strength was amazing, and this situation was widespread. They were able to throw rocks farther away.

"Sergeant, don't you think they throw stones as an ability?" Zhang Liao said to the sergeant who was following behind him. The sergeant carefully dodged nearby droppings.

"Sir, are we going to equip them with stones? They will not use firearms. It's a lot of trouble for us. Many instructors said that this was an extremely headache. The sergeant said.

"Huh." Zhang Liao just smiled. And there was no answer. Yes, if they were replaced by a hand, the situation would be completely different. The power of explosive weapons will make them understand their situation. For them, they will automatically learn this progress.

Firearms are too difficult for them. But they can learn to throw hands**. Simple, easy to manufacture. And most importantly, they will soon learn this weapon.

Actually, the Confederate soldiers were not very stupid. They just didn't find a good weapon, they could be turned into grenadiers, and the weapon could give them bows and arrows, cold weapons. But the hand ** must be heavily equipped. Zhang Liao found a good solution to the problem. After all, there's not a lot of time left for them. Defeat five thousand people, just the vanguard. It won't be long before more tribal forces arrive here.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

Dong Zhuojun's soldiers defending the city gate eat heartburn fried noodles and biscuit soup. It's steaming hot though. But this thing needs to be boiled a little more to get a little rotten. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat without a good mouthful of teeth.

"Damn, I don't know how this IRA does this. Harder than the city walls. This thing can be used to defend the city. A veteran scolded.

The IRA maintains a large strategic reserve at all times, which is intended for use in war, as well as in all kinds of contingencies. In the war zones of the Republican Army, as well as in various states and counties, there were large warehouses for the storage of this food.

There are two types of chow mein biscuits in the Republican Army, one is dry and powdery. When you eat it, there is no water, and it is difficult to swallow. The other is the glue block, an invention of a Hedong food trading company, which uses glutinous rice water and other ingredients as additives and mixes them into powdered fried noodles and biscuits. Then cut it into chunks while it is soft while it is warm. But this thing, once it cools down. Harder than bricks. Even, in the munitions warehouse, there is no need to prevent rats from biting at all. Because rats can't bite.

Republican soldiers also complained about the food. Because this food accounts for too much of it. Half of their food supply is this thing. I couldn't eat it at all, and I broke my teeth.

But the Republican Army's munitions warehouses have a large amount of reserves. Mainly, this food has a particularly long shelf life, and the Republican Army has produced a lot of it in order to ensure food security. A three-year shelf life, plus plenty of reserves. The IRA soldiers hated the food.

And Dong Zhuojun's expansion was extremely rapid, and their logistics were also handed over to the Republican Army to handle.

If you think about it from the perspective of the Republican Army itself, they will inevitably have the rear make some delicious food to deliver. But this is Dong Zhuojun. In addition, the wind review of biscuit food is very bad, and the food that is difficult to open with a hammer can only be solved by using **. As a result, this kind of food, which the republican army itself was unwilling to eat, was sent to Dong Zhuojun. Founder, this kind of food is large in quantity, they don't have to worry about the storage problem at all, and it is easy to transport and has a very long shelf life.

The most important thing is that this is the most cost-effective material in the deal between the Republican Army and Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo also buys a lot of money.

As a result, this kind of food has become the standard for Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, and many soldiers can only scold their fathers and mothers. But that's all you can eat.

At the beginning, this kind of food was very attractive to Dong Zhuojun. The reason is, they can eat many, many things. There's salt in it. The supply of table salt has been insufficient, but there is a lot of salt in this biscuit. The second is that there may be some pieces of meat in it, or it may have a milky flavor. Caused by the difference in processing manufacturers.

But gradually, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers began to complain. Because the food is very simple, it is in the morning, noon, and dinner. It's true that they eat three meals a day, but they can't eat too good things, and they eat too much of this kind of stuff. Heartburn, uncomfortable. Nutrition is simple, and many soldiers also suffer from athlete's foot. The greatest pleasure of many soldiers is to rub their feet before going to bed.

Dong Zhuo doesn't care about these problems, because he has a lot of problems to consider, such as buying more supplies, arming them, and feeding them, as for military uniforms, it is enough to have a set. Too much is also useless. Maybe you can equip them with some cheap shoes.

"Don't cooperate" Dong Zhuo angrily pushed a palace maid away. The palace maid staggered away.

Li Wei reluctantly reported the attitude of the Republican Army.

"That's how the IRA answered, and they didn't explain the specific reasons." Li Wei explained. He didn't know exactly why, but the IRA just refused. Maybe they have their own reasons, but such practices make him feel very unhappy.

It was Dong Zhuo who was unhappy, and Dong Zhuo was very annoyed by this. Because the issue of his own banknotes was his most proud idea, and this idea could solve his military spending problem.

But the IRA did not cooperate.

"Can we print it ourselves?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"This, my lord, may not be too good." Li Dao replied truthfully.

For printing, there are also relevant bookstores for printing, but their ink quality is not as good as that of the Republican Army, and they do not know the ink formula of the Republican Army, so they can only make some rudimentary pigments. And the color is also very simple, printing banknotes is very difficult. Li Dao still did some investigation.

"Either way, as long as we can print it, we can do it ourselves. Without the IRA, wouldn't we be able to do it? Dong Zhuo said that he insisted on doing this. Because paper money is very crucial to his career, if he can't do something like this, his situation will become very bad.

"This." Li Dao seemed worried.
