Chapter Seventy-Three: Reorganization of the Thousand Troops
To fill the vacant quota of four centurions, Ling Xia began to distribute equipment, although the commanders would regularly allocate weapons and uniforms, but those were all spears, short men, military boots, military uniforms and other materials, and there was no equipment for special classes at all.
Although there is no equipment and weapons for special troops in the team, Ling Xia has, when he exterminated the bandits in Baihu Mountain before, Yi Haojie privately withheld some elite materials, and Ling Xia deducted some high-quality equipment from that batch of elite materials before being transferred to the centurion.
He has always carried these equipment with him, although he allocated some before, but not all of them were used, there are still a lot left, and now he can take them out to equip new troops, as soon as he thinks of this, Ling Xia is glad that he reached out at the beginning, and now he happens to be able to solve the urgent need.
After Boss Luo, Huya, Liu Piaoyi, Shangguan Hui, and Lao Cui finished selecting their respective personnel, Ling Xia asked Yang Lucai to take out the batch of equipment and distribute it to everyone.
But when Yang Lucai took out the equipment, everyone was stunned, only to see that the ground in front of everyone was full of all kinds of weapons and armor, and they were all well-made, rare materials, and weapons suitable for special troops.
At the beginning, Ling Xia detained a total of 11 boxes of various healing medicines, 100 heavy riding shields, 100 stainless steel shields, 100 iron spur spears, 100 heavy armor made of black iron, 10 meteoric iron giant axes, 100 cooked copper armor-piercing bows, and 400 barrels of flowing feather arrows.
Two hundred and fifty pieces of animal skin light armor, cowhide combat boots, and weapon belts, one hundred quenching blades, one hundred green blades, one hundred giant iron shields, one hundred shield-breaking hammers, one giant siege crossbow, three long-distance armor-piercing crossbows, four hundred crossbow arrows, and five hundred altars of fine wine.
These weapons far exceeded the equipment limit of a hundred-man team, and when he first became a centurion, Ling Xia allocated ten meteoric iron giant axes, fifty fine war horses, fifty pieces of black iron heavy armor, fifty pieces of spears of hundred iron spur armor, and fifty heavy riding shields to the five Luo brothers.
After appointing Huya as the commander of the ten, Ling Xia selected ten soldiers who were good at archery for him, and assigned them ten cooked copper armor-piercing bows, ten barrels of ordinary arrows, ten sets of animal skin light armor, ten war horses, and four hundred barrels of feathered arrows.
The equipment distributed to Shangguan Hui and Liu Piaoyi was animal skin light armor, cowhide combat boots, weapon belts, quenching blades, Qingfeng swords, and stainless steel round shields, all of which were weapons suitable for close combat, because the number was not enough at the beginning, so Ling Xia did not allocate the full amount.
When Ling Xia first withheld the equipment of weapons, it was according to the establishment of the 100-person team, and almost every weapon was withheld enough pieces, but due to the small team at the beginning, these weapons could not be used, but now that the number of people in each class has increased, these equipment have a place to use.
After counting the equipment and counting the materials allocated before, Ling Xia allocated a total of 100 war horses to Boss Luo, 100 heavy riding shields, 100 smelting iron spurs, and 100 pieces of black iron heavy armor, this is a full set of equipment for heavy cavalry, and Ling Xia has all of them.
As for Huya's 800-man team, Ling Xia allocated all the equipment related to long-range attacks, including 100 cooked copper armor-piercing bows, 400 barrels of flowing feather arrows, 100 sets of animal skin light armor, 1 giant siege crossbow, 3 long-distance armor-piercing crossbows, and 400 crossbow arrows.
Then, Ling Xia supplemented Liu Piaoyi's 900-man team, including 100 sets of animal skin light armor, 100 pairs of cowhide combat boots, 100 pairs of weapon belts, 100 quenching waist knives, 100 Qingfeng swords, 100 stainless steel circles, and pure melee attack equipment.
In the end, Ling Xia came to Shangguan Hui and handed her a hundred giant iron shields and a hundred shield-breaking giant hammers, although Ling Xia did not get the dragon thorn spear with the giant shield, but because the standard weapon of the Praetorian Guard was a spear, it could be used with the giant shield for the time being.
These weapons and equipment were scattered, and the four newly formed hundred-man teams were fully equipped, and at present, in addition to the weapons, bullets, and supplies brought by the later generations, Ling Xia only had some military salaries and gold coins left.
Satisfied with the inspection of the newly formed team, Ling Xia called the eleven centurions to him, and gave them an order for actual combat training, Ling Xia's idea was very simple, first of all, everyone led their respective teams to run in with each other, so that the team members could get familiar with each other as soon as possible.
After the teams have a tacit understanding with each other, each 100-person team draws lots to fight against each other, first discovers the shortcomings from the inside, and waits until the entire 1000-person team is polished to be mellow and flawless, and challenges the other 1000-person teams to improve their combat effectiveness through actual combat confrontation.
After giving the order, Ling Xia instructed Yang Lucai to ensure the logistics work, ordered the material order to replenish the materials in time, and asked the general officer to update the way of the order, and speed up the transmission of military orders.
Back in the camp tent, as soon as Ling Xia sat down, he heard Qu Qinshi beside him ask: "You ----- you asked the master of internal strength from the school training factory today?" Seeing that only a few of us are martial artists in the realm of internal force, you seem to be a little lost? ”
"You're very careful." Stunned, Ling Xia motioned for Qu Qinshi to sit down, made her a cup of hot tea, Ling Xia said with a sigh: "Actually, on the way to the imperial capital before, I had an idea, I plan to get some personal soldiers, preferably masters of the internal force realm."
The imperial court holds an imperial examination every three years, and each time there are so many warriors who apply for the martial arts champion, although a large number of warriors have been eliminated, but those people have all been recruited into the military system. ”
"You're frustrated by this, I thought it was." After figuring out the reason, Qu Qinshi breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and explained: "When I failed the previous competition and reported to the boot camp, the person in charge of registration seemed to have asked me about my cultivation realm.
Because I lost the game, I didn't mean that I was cultivating to the internal force realm, but lied that I was a martial artist in the external strength realm, and as a result, the person in charge of registration sent me to the Five Cities Terracotta Mansion, and the internal force realm martial artist who signed up with me was taken away by another group of people. ”
"Really? Aren't all barracks uniformly received and divided? How can anyone mention picking up elite masters? Puzzled, Ling Xia seemed to think of something: "When you say this, I think of one thing."
I remember that after the competition ended, the soldiers in charge of recruitment in the barracks asked us to go to the recruit camp to board, and when I first signed up, I clearly remembered that two buddies from the internal force realm chose to participate, but when I went to assemble and waited for the assignment, I didn't see those two buddies. ”
"Who could it be? Why did the other party transfer those masters of internal force cultivation? Qu Qinshi showed a hint of puzzlement.
Ling Xia thought about it, and seeing that he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped dwelling on this issue: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, instead of wasting brain cells on this matter, it is better to ponder the matter of trying to recruit relatives." ”
"The day after tomorrow is the day of the competition, what, do you want to try?" Qu Qinshi quipped.
"Of course, I can't wait." Ling Xia replied with a chuckle.
