Chapter 62: An Enemy Strikes
Seeing the healthy competition between the two soldiers and horses under his command, Liu Zhang was secretly happy. However, there is a person who is happy and a little anxious, this person is Xun Yu, who was temporarily appointed by Liu Zhang as the head of logistics, he watched Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses become stronger and stronger, and it was natural to be happy, but Liu Zhang's reward was really a little too generous, originally Yizhou soldiers (including the Dongzhou Army and the Yingwu Army, and later called the Yizhou Army without special explanation) could almost see labor and meat every day, which was already very luxurious in the army of the Han Dynasty, even the Xiyuan Army did not have such treatment back then, Now Liu Zhang is even more reluctant to reward three catties of pork by himself. If you do the math, you will know what a terrifying number this is, Liu Zhang has more than 11,000 people, according to 10,000 people, he also needs 30,000 catties of pork every day, a pig can get about 150 catties of meat after washing and peeling, 30,000 catties is 200 pigs, and the screams of the pigs in the room before death almost never stopped. And since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, prices have skyrocketed, and now a pig needs at least three times of money (with the decrease in the number of pigs, the people also know how to go with the market, today is still three times of money, tomorrow may be four times), every day is six hundred dollars, what is this concept, simple, now in wheat about three hundred Wen one stone, that is to say, a day, more than 10,000 people a day to eat at least 2,000 stone of wheat, or 240,000 catties. Liu Zhang's trip to bring nearly half of the money to Gan Ning to recruit the rivers and lakes, and the remaining half paid the Xun family to buy grain and grass for him, it can be said that he has no money in hand, fortunately, Man Chong and others brought the rest of the Lion Head Peak, and it can support one or two for the time being. The problem is that in this era of war and chaos, you may not be able to buy pigs if you have money, not to mention that the demand is so huge! Within two days, the surrounding pork, duck and fish meat were all purchased. After learning about it, Liu Zhang said that these soldiers may have to go to the battlefield tomorrow, and many people may never come back, so no matter how difficult it is, they must be overcome, as long as they complete the amount of training, they must be rewarded according to their work. Naturally, there is no problem for most of the Dongzhou soldiers who drag their families with their families, but what is the use of keeping money for the British army, which is generally alone? Fortunately, the demand was reduced by nearly half, and Xun Yu used the power of the Xun clan to buy from afar, and finally solved this big problem.
That night, the well-fed Yizhou Army fell asleep (after a day of hard training, everyone was almost on their pillows), and the barracks were silent.
I don't know what time it was, but suddenly the screams of killing pierced the night sky, and the cries of terror and the impact of iron tools shook my heart like a drumbeat, and the poignant screams indicated that countless lives were disappearing......
Liu Zhang suddenly turned over from the couch, and Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, who were guarding outside the tent without being undressed, rushed in a moment ago.
"Childe is alright!" Dian Wei looked at Liu Zhang with the halberd, and then glanced at the big tent, as if he was not at ease, afraid that an assassin would sneak in.
"I'm fine, what's going on outside?" Liu Zhang asked while putting on his armor.
Dian Wei stepped forward to help Liu Zhang put on his armor and said, "It seems that the thief army is attacking the camp, and the situation is not clear for the time being!" ”
"Zhou Cang, go see what's going on!" Liu Zhang said.
"Yes, Childe!" Zhou Cang turned around and left with a big knife.
After a while, Xu Chu, who was on leave, rushed in with a big knife, seeing that Liu Zhang was fine, with a sincere smile on his face, and then stood straight behind Liu Zhang, like a pine and did not move, in fact, his spirit was in a high degree of concentration, and anyone who wanted to rush close to Liu Zhang would suffer his merciless blow as soon as possible.
The shouts and killings outside the tent are getting closer and more intense, and the people in the camp are also like a tide, the footsteps are like rain, and the sound of armor and weapons slamming makes people feel that a thick killing force is spreading.
Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little nervous, some hurriedly dressed up, and was about to go out with the ancient ingot knife, Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward to block it, and said: "Son, the situation outside is unknown, don't go out easily, in case you hurt your body, it will be serious!" ”
Liu Zhang said: "Zhongkang, it's okay, you listen to this shouting and killing sound is still far away, there will be no danger!" There must be chaos in the camp at this moment, and if I don't show up, I'm afraid it will make the brothers even more panicked, and if there is a camp roar, it will be a big deal! ”
Xu Chu heard and thought about it, but as Liu Zhang said, he got out of the way, and followed Liu Zhang out of the camp with Dian Wei.
To Liu Zhang's surprise, the entire camp was busy but not chaotic, and the army was quickly assembled under the command of Yan Yan, Xu Huang, Wei Yan and other good generals. Looking at the face again, the difference between the Dongzhou Army and the Yingwu Army immediately appeared, the Dongzhou Army's face showed a trace of nervousness and apprehension, while the Yingwu Army had more eagerness and anticipation, and their blood-devouring eyes glowed red under the flickering firelight, as if they couldn't wait to step forward and bite the enemy.
The distant flames heralded the engulfment of countless battalions, and countless soldiers rolled in flames and smoke.
After a while, the army had been assembled, and Xun Yu and the others would also come to Liu Zhang, but unfortunately they didn't know what the situation was now.
Liu Zhang took the stage and shouted: "Brothers, have you eaten the meat these days?" ”
"Alright......" more than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison.
"I don't think it'...... Far from it...... An army is only elite on the training ground, then this army is nothing. The army that has undergone the test of war and proved that it is an army that cannot be defeated or dragged down is the elite, the minions of our Han Dynasty, and the talisman of the people! We didn't have a chance before, but now that this opportunity has come, and the traitor can't wait to come to the door, I have only one request for this - to ask if the knife is fast enough! I ask you to destroy any enemy like cooked meat in a bowl, laugh and talk about thirsty Hun blood, and show your true colors as a man when you are hungry and hungry for Hulu meat! ”
"Kill, kill, kill......"
"I have heard your determination, and now you will prove it by your deeds! Yan Yan and Wei Yan listen to orders! "Manzhong's duty is not to lead the troops to charge, his role is mainly to give advice in the back, and Liu Zhang did not let him personally lead the troops, but ordered Wei Yan's generals.
Yan and Wei stepped forward and bowed: "The last general!" ”
"At this moment, the situation is unclear, and we can't attack easily, so we should stick to the camp and understand the situation. Therefore, he ordered Yan Yan to guard the south gate, and Wei Yan's department to guard the north and west, if anyone approached without permission, they would all be killed, and if the rebels attacked the camp, they would never be taught to go back alive! ”
"The last will be ordered!" The two of them replied respectfully, and then each led his troops and horses away.
