Chapter 342: Recruiting New Pawns
The Eighth School of the West Garden, the Fifth School of the Northern Army, and the Captaincy Department of the Sili School, which were in Cao Xing's hands, were disrupted and reorganized, and there were 75,000.
In addition, on the day of the control of Luoyang, Cao Xing was in Luoyang City, posting conscription notices and setting up conscription offices.
For the first time, as long as they were not disabled, they did not refuse to come, and recruited a large number of ruffians, homeless, beggars, and ordinary people into the army.
and to the Luoyang Shi clan and Haoqiang, buy servants, private songs, plus the incorporated servants.
and 30,000 recruits, it can be said that in addition to those who have no age, there are thirteen-year-old and half-sized children, as well as skeleton men with skin and bones, and a very few fat-headed and big-eared servants, all kinds of things.
Cao Xingqin's conscription method surprised the soldiers under his command.
Such an army can be combat-powerful! If you don't drag your feet, you will burn high incense.
Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Xing's gourd, out of trust, I still completed the recruitment work very well.
Under the city of Luoyang, there are 50,000 helmets and armor at the end of the Imperial Forest Army, wearing neat military uniforms.
In the middle, there are 30,000 people who don't even have a unified military uniform, but they are dressed in black clothes, and then they have a red turban tied to their heads, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, and there are small ones holding sharpened wooden sticks.
In this way, an army of 80,000 came out of the north gate of Luoyang.
The huge contrast between the new pawns and the Royal Forest Army makes people always feel awkward and abnormal, and there is an urge to erase the dazzling 30,000 new pawns.
Cao Xing, who walked in the middle of the Imperial Forest Army, looked like he always looked at everyone's strange eyes.
In this way, surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, the army traveled for more than ten miles, and the city wall of Luoyang can still be faintly visible.
But the new pawn is in trouble.
"Someone! Someone fainted! ”
"Ahh Mother! I miss Mother! ”
"I don't want to fight! I don't want to die! I'm not married yet! ”
……
The sudden outbreak of various changes in the new stroke made the scene chaotic, especially the words of not wanting to fight and not wanting to die, which spread rapidly among the new stroke.
The psychology of fear, in this environment, is constantly fermenting and expanding.
"Knock~Knock~"
The war drums suddenly sounded, and the drummer of the Royal Guards, in the winter, was shirtless, beating the war drums in front of him.
"Qiang Qiang~"
The sword was unsheathed, the back of the sword struck the shield, and the spear stomped on the ground.
"Drink ~ Drink ~"
The drumbeat of the attack, the momentum of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the loud shouts of the Royal Forest Army in unison completely covered up the noisy sound of the new soldiers.
Where have the new pawns seen such a scene, one by one, their hearts are pounding, their mouths are closed, and they no longer dare to make the sound of going home.
Huang Zhong, who had been transformed into the Sima of the Yulin Army, took the eight hundred Yulin Lang under his command and walked in the queue, and the eight hundred people were like one person, making a uniform footsteps.
The head is covered with a dark iron helmet, with long white feathers, and a coat of black fish scale armor, with chain mail in the middle and whale skin armor inside.
The triple armor on the body makes the tall and strong Yulin Army more burly and invincible.
The new pawn who was still noisy just now, when he saw the Yulin Army, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and a chubby former official was even more mixed with the ground, and he didn't forget to crawl into the distance, wanting to escape from this group of ironclad soldiers.
"A year's military salary, when you enlist in the army, has been sent to you in advance as a settlement fee, and the military salary has been received, but you have to retreat when you march to fight, what is the reason at this time!"
When Huang Zhong said this, he just revealed a little bit of the top-level martial arts momentum he had cultivated, and the fat original servant who had just turned back was as pale as paper.
According to the disgust in his heart, Huang Zhong repeated Cao Xing's instructions again:
"A year's worth of military pay goes into your pockets! You're already soldiers! It is a duty for a soldier to march and fight!
Those who disturb the morale of the army should be beheaded by military law!
Retreat and run away, military law should be beheaded!
Those who disobey military orders will be beheaded by military law!
……”
Huang Zhong recited dozens of military methods that should be beheaded, and when he said a sentence, the 800 Yu Lin Lang behind him repeated a sentence, and the 50,000 Royal Forest Army in all directions also repeated a sentence.
Like an order on the battlefield, wave after wave, the whole land is the harsh sound of repeating military law.
Even Luoyang, ten miles away, can be heard.
The military method shouted out penetrated into the minds of 30,000 new soldiers, and I don't know who took the lead, and for a while, the new soldiers were crying and full of despair.
There are not a few people who are lying on the ground and rolling.
"Stand up!"
Huang Zhong let out a loud shout, followed by 50,000 Imperial Forest Army, who shouted in unison.
The 30,000 new pawns were so frightened that they quickly stopped crying and stood up.
"Keep marching!"
No matter how reluctant he was, surrounded by layers of the Imperial Forest Army, the new soldiers moved their pace again, but there were always people who were holding back, so the march was very slow.
In a whole day, it is only thirty miles.
Cao Xingduo saw all this, but he didn't say a word.
Night began to fall, and the whole army set up camp on the spot.
The new camp area was arranged in the middle, and the outside was surrounded by the Royal Forest Barracks area, and a team of Royal Forest Army, while patrolling the outside world, also arranged a patrol team with Tun as a unit to patrol the new camp area.
Precautions.
However, there is no leakage protection, and the camp of the 80,000-strong army always has low-lying areas, streams, hillsides, etc., which are not suitable for camping.
What's more, it's an internal breakthrough.
In the first half of the night, the barracks was still eerily quiet, but in the second half of the night, the new camp area, the subtle sound of movement, has not been interrupted, and it is difficult to prevent the Royal Forest Army from discovering it.
But the other party seemed to be asleep, and there were many fewer guards with patrols.
"Ah~"
The noise in the new camp area became louder, and from time to time there were whispers of pain.
But the Guards are still "asleep".
In the dark, in the Royal Forest Barracks area, on the side of a steep slope that could not be camped, the big fat man of the former official who had fallen a gourd rolling on the ground during the day, was using his big belly full of fat intestines, clinging to the real steep slope, following a thirteen-year-old boy in front of him, walking slowly.
Both of them are very few people who do not have night blindness, and behind them, there are dozens of people, night blinders who can't see anything clearly in the dark night.
Even so, it couldn't stop them from escaping, dozens of people, hand in hand, under the leadership of the obese man and the boy, groping forward.
Such a team naturally could not go fast, and a group of people were already frightened, and they had walked for more than an hour before they escaped from the camp.
But the fat man knew that it was going to be soon, and then he would have 500 yuan per person, and if he escaped anyway, they would have taken a year's military salary for nothing.
Cao Jun, who has a very high military salary, is 20,000 yuan a year, and a coarse grain cake is only one dollar.
It would be nice to pay for a year's worth of food in advance.
Seeing that he was about to escape, the fat man, a little yy.
"Grab it!"
In the darkness, a soft shout suddenly sounded, and the fat man was suddenly awakened by fright, and even stupid.
"No noise! Violators are killed! ”
