Chapter Forty-Eight: Ling Xia's Recruits

Yi Haojie was silent from the tent with gloomy cheeks, and a thin middle-aged man stood opposite him, glaring at the man, Yi Haojie pointed to the material table on the desk and said:

"What's going on? Am I broke? When I cleared the warehouse of Juyitang before, I deducted a large amount of loot, why was it gone in a blink of an eye? What about the black iron heavy armor? Why is there only leather armor left? How come healing medicine, animal skin light armor, and cowhide combat boots are so much missing all of a sudden?

I remember that two giant siege crossbows were also captured, why is there only one left? Oh, by the way, there are also long-range armor-piercing crossbows, which I personally loaded into the carriage, I had a total of five of them, and it turned out that there were only two left here, and the special crossbow arrows were gone, what could I shoot without crossbow arrows? ”

"Your Excellency the General, the last general really didn't see any armor-piercing crossbows and black iron heavy armor? Since I handed over the order to my predecessor, I haven't allocated a single material, and there are indeed only these materials in the warehouse. The man looked aggrieved.

"If you don't touch those supplies, who will do them?" Yi Haojie thought about it, and suddenly guessed something, he stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "I know where the equipment went?" Ling Xia, you bastard, you actually got so many supplies before leaving. ”

……

In the training factory, Ling Xia was training his recruits, and he classified the hundred captive soldiers under his command, the fifty who were the strongest and had the best physical fitness, and he assigned them to the five Luo brothers.

Ling Xia promoted the five Luo brothers to the rank of Tenth Master, and after allocating fifty burly and strong men to them, he also allocated the brothers fifty fine war horses, fifty pieces of black iron heavy armor, fifty pieces of iron spur armor spears, and fifty heavy riding shields.

When the soldiers put on the black iron heavy armor, rode on the war horses, held the heavy cavalry shield in their left hand and the spear in their right hand, and practiced a charge under the leadership of the five Luo brothers, Ling Xia nodded with satisfaction.

In view of the fact that the five Luo brothers were born with divine power, they had not found the weapons they could take advantage of, so Ling Xia took out the ten meteoric iron giant axes, those giant axes were about one and a half meters long, each weighing about a hundred catties, and the half-moon arc was shining, and the cold light was shining, and it was a rare divine blade at a glance.

At first, Ling Xia was worried that they would not be able to hold this giant axe, but he didn't expect that the five brothers not only picked up the axe easily, but also chose two each, seeing that they couldn't put it down, Ling Xia simply gave them all ten giant axes.

Different from the five Luo brothers, after Ling Xia appointed Huya as the commander of the ten, he selected ten soldiers who were good at archery, for these people, Ling Xia assigned ten cooked copper armor-piercing bows, ten barrels of ordinary arrows, and ten sets of animal skin light armor.

In order to increase the mobility and flexibility of these archers, Ling Xia also equipped them with ten war horses, and after sending the equipment and materials, Ling Xia handed over the four hundred barrels of flowing feather arrows with sharp arrows and the longest range to Huya, and asked him to choose the right opportunity to send them.

In view of the fact that Shangguan Hui and Liu Piaoyi like to fight each other head-to-head when they charge and kill the enemy, after promoting them to the position of ten masters, Ling Xia asked them to select twenty fighters who are good at melee killing, and then each lead a team of ten people to train.

The equipment they were issued with was animal skin light armor, cowhide combat boots, weapon belts, quenching waist knives, and Qingfeng swords, all of which were short blades suitable for close combat.

For Lao Cui's arrangement, Ling Xia is particularly mysterious, before he stepped down from the order, he got ten boxes of copper coins, three boxes of silver coins, and one box of gold coins in the name of allocating military salaries, and after seeing Lao Cui, Ling Xia handed him two boxes of silver coins without saying a word, and allocated him ten military horses.

Looking at Lao Cui's puzzled expression, Ling Xia gave him an order with a solemn expression, Lao Cui can not participate in the training of the army in the future, nor do he need to charge into battle to kill the enemy, he only has one job, and that is to collect intelligence.

Lao Cui is very talented in collecting intelligence and other work, so Ling Xia asked Lao Cui to secretly set up an intelligence agency, quietly develop informants, and let those informants scatter around to collect intelligence information, Ling Xia may not need that information now, but he can't say for sure in the future.

In addition to cultivating informants to collect intelligence, Lao Cui also has to beware of intelligence leakage, Ling Xia told Lao Cui about the existence of the trading building, one is to remind Lao Cui to pay attention to this organization, the other is to let him find a way to investigate this organization, and to prevent the people from the trading building from mixing into Ling Xia's team to steal secrets.

Ling Xia gave the intelligence agency a name called "Intelligence Station", and it must cost money to set up an intelligence station, and those silver coins were the funds that Ling Xia allocated to Lao Cui. ”

As for Yang Lucai, Ling Xia originally wanted to put him into the battle sequence, but Yang Lucai was a little reluctant, and after careful questioning, he realized that Yang Lucai wanted to manage logistics, and thought that if the team grew in the future, logistics support would be very important.

Therefore, Ling Xia agreed to Yang Lucai after a little thought, and he allocated the remaining ten people to Yang Lucai, and let them be responsible for the distribution of the team's three meals and military salaries, Yang Lucai was very happy with Ling Xia's arrangement, and a smile appeared on his face again.

All the one hundred and ten people have finished arranging their duties, only Qu Qinshi is left standing aside, everyone looks at each other, Yang Lucai pointed to Qu Qinshi: "Captain, several of us have become ten masters, but why doesn't Xiaoqu have a position?" ”

"You mean Qin Shi, how could I have forgotten her." With a dry laugh, Ling Xia pointed at Qu Qinshi and shouted to everyone: "From now on, Qu Qinshi will be my chief guard."

Ahem------- in view of the fact that our team is currently small in number, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, Qu Qinshi's guard chief temporarily served as his own bodyguard, and everyone applauded to welcome Qu guard chief to take office. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After finishing speaking, Ling Xia took the lead in applauding his hands, seeing that the centurion applauded, and the others were not easy to refute his face, so they also applauded, Lao Cui and Yang Lucai secretly complained from their hearts while applauding:

"What kind of guard chief and guard, to put it bluntly, isn't it a bodyguard, the big guys have seen it these days, you saw that other people's Quqin poems are strong in martial arts, so you kept her by your side as a personal bodyguard."

Qu Qinshi was originally shy by nature, she didn't like to lead troops to fight, she was worried about her position, for fear that Ling Xia would arrange a position for her as a ten-master commander, and now she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Ling Xia had left herself by his side as a guard.

Just when Ling Xia finished arranging work for Lao Cui and the others and asked everyone to lead their respective recruits to train, Yi Haojie rushed into the barracks area of the 100th team with great momentum, turned his head and looked around, and saw that Ling Xia was training recruits, so he walked towards him in a hurry.

Because he was so excited, Yi Haojie almost tripped when he walked, and when he came to Ling Xia, he dragged Ling Xu, trembling all over, and asked Ling Xia in a trembling tone: "Give me back my things, or I'll fight with you." ”

"General, why are you here?" Seeing Yi Haojie's trembling with anger, Ling Xia blinked his innocent eyes, pretending to be unaware and shouted to the training team: "All of them, Elder Qianfu came to inspect the work, everyone's greetings." ”

"Hello General!"

After seeing Ling Xia make the gesture of "ready to start", the soldiers of the 100th team stood up straight and greeted Yi Haojie in unison.

"Hello soldiers." 、

Seeing that the soldiers collectively saluted him, Yi Haojie had to say a perfunctory sentence casually, and then, Yi Haojie wanted to ask Ling Xia for his own materials and equipment.

"The general has worked hard."

Unexpectedly, after Yi Haojie responded, the hundred soldiers continued to greet him as if they had rehearsed in advance.

"Serve the people."

Forced to be speechless by those soldiers, Yi Haojie casually held back these five words, and when he saw that those soldiers were still going to open their mouths, he hurriedly interrupted those soldiers and asked them to rest for a while.

"You kid is really bad, you want to use these captive soldiers to gag me." With a light reprimand, Yi Haojie pointed at those soldiers and asked Ling Xia with a depressed expression: "Other people's hundred-man team is not even equipped with leather armor, but you are wearing black iron heavy armor here."

The soldiers in the other teams don't even have a spear with an ash rod, but here you have a spear of 100 iron smelted, and the soldiers in the other team only have a rattan shield and a curling blade, but the soldiers in your team are almost equipped with all eighteen weapons.

After the extermination of the Juyi Hall, I detained a total of 100 war horses, and planned to quietly form a cavalry team of 100 people by myself, but I went to the material order to take a look today, and there were only more than 20 sick horses left in the stable.

In addition to weapons, armor, and war horses, healing medicine, siege crossbows, long-distance armor-piercing crossbows, and military salaries, you actually took them all over again, just take them, but you picked them out and left them to me.

To be honest, I wasn't in such a hurry when I first cracked down on the bandits, but after seeing you sweeping the warehouse and looking at the rags in the warehouse, I was so angry that I almost lost my breath, and now don't talk nonsense, give me back the things. ”

"Don't don't, the general, dissipate your anger, I also have a hard time taking those things." Seeing that Yi Haojie was trembling again after saying a few words, Ling Xia hurriedly persuaded him.

"Don't be verbose, even if you tell the sky now, I have to bring those supplies back." Yi Haojie didn't eat Ling Xia's set at all.

"Really?" Ling Xia's eyes rolled, and he said unhurriedly: "What if I help you accumulate combat power for the sake of suppressing bandits?" ”

"Bandits? Juyi Hall has been suppressed, how can there be anything left......" Speaking of this, Yi Haojie seemed to think of something? Suddenly stopped talking about the next words.
