Chapter 562: Training the Soldiers
"Yo, in such a short period of time, you have met a rebutter!" Areobindes laughed wickedly behind Luga and whispered to Luga: "Now it's up to you, commander-in-chief of the Thracian field army!" ”
"Cut, let me try your Eastern Roman soldiers!" Luga responded to Areobindes' side taunt, and then led Andrew and the others away to meet the man.
The soldier's equipment was fairly regular, he was bareheaded, he was wearing dusty and rusty chain mail, and he had an iron sword at his waist, because it was not unsheathed, and Luga did not know how much rust was on it.
"Hey, I say, you ambitious guy!" Lu Jia raised his head and looked at this guy with a unique and invincible appearance peculiar to a noble child, "Where's your helmet?" Soldier! ”
"Lost!"
This guy didn't shy away from answering bluntly.
"Do you know who I am?" Luga took another step forward, stared at the soldier in front of him with his eyes, raised his voice, and roared angrily at the soldier: "I am standing here now, can you call my official position or even my name?" ”
"Flavies. Luga! Captain of the soldiers of Western Rome! The soldier replied.
"Wrong!"
Luga shook his finger at him and said with a smile: "It is the commander of the soldiers of Western Rome who is also the commander-in-chief of the Thracian field army of Eastern Rome, soldiers, you are a member of the Thracian field army." ”
"Yes, sir!" The soldier did not dare to make any more mistakes, and he hurriedly stood upright facing Luga.
"Of course, you have to be!" Luga sneered, "It's not disgraced, it's embarrassing, it's like a barbarian, it's not a Thracian field army at all!" ”
Luga said, clasping his hands on his hips, cheering at the soldiers around him, shaking his head disdainfully and saying, "I have participated in the war to defend Rome for many years, and I have never met a soldier as embarrassed as you!" ”
"You're wrong, sir!" The guy spoke again: "That's a formidable enemy you haven't encountered against us!" ”
"Really?" Luga looked at this soldier and thought to himself how could such a bastard exist in such a big world, and he talked back at every turn!
But with this in mind, the soldier added: "They were born on horseback, and over time they became one with the horses under their crotch, and they had horns on their heads, and their sharp fangs could easily tear through our armor, and we were tenacious enough that the fallen soldiers could even fill the sea!" And their weapons are all cursed by demons, and if they are contaminated, they will festering and die, and so many of my brothers around me are dying like this! ”
The guy said with a smile on his face, and the other soldiers beside him had horrified expressions on their faces, as if they were once again back in that unbearable nightmare. Of them, only Luga looked at the big guy with a dull expression.
"Bang Bang..."
The soldier's speech was interrupted by Luga's warm applause, he shut up and looked at Luga with a puzzled expression, not knowing why Lujia did this, especially since he felt that he was so terrible, why Lujia not only did not be afraid but laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The soldier asked Lu Jiadao in confusion.
"I'm laughing at you for being messed up with dust!" Luga's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at the soldier with a serious face and said fiercely, "Now, shut your mouth, you damn bastard who disturbs the morale of the army!" ”
Then Luga was seen looking up at the other Thracian field soldiers present and shouting, "I finally know how you have failed, a bunch of cowards, good-for-nothing fools!" Look, look how you describe your enemies, demons, goblins! Everything that comes to your mind is imposed on the Huns! What are they? What are they! They can be killed, but it is your clumsiness and weakness of heart that allow them to succeed! so that they may slaughter you with impunity. ”
"Because ......"
"Don't argue with me, you brilliant orator!" As soon as Luga heard that this guy wanted to defend himself, he immediately "brushed" and pulled out the iron sword that was carried at his waist and put it on the soldier's shoulder.
The creature shuddered at the sudden killing, and all he saw was a flash of silver light, and when he came back to his senses, the sharp blade of the Dragon's Breath Sword in Luga's hand had sunk deep into the skin of his neck.
"If I hadn't stopped, you might not even know how you died!" Luga sneered, then retracted his sword, only to let the soldier breathe a sigh of relief until the sharp blade was removed from his neck.
Having never seen a senior officer wield a sword against a soldier, such a momentary moment made everyone present gasp.
"Now, you guys, all of you!" Luga pointed at them and shouted, "Inform those who can't hear my orders from behind, now, get out of here, find a nearby river, wash it and come back to me!" You stupid things! ”
In the face of Luga's scolding, the soldiers no longer dared to refute, and even the first to stand up hid in the crowd with their heads down, and no one resisted Luga's orders. They scattered and ran out of the city gates.
"Haha, it's worthy of Augustus's favorite candidate!" Areobindes didn't know when he came behind Luga, reprimanding and arguing was a physical task, but Luga, at this time, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"I could have done something worse!" Luga's voice was a little hoarse, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at their distant backs, and then asked Areobinders, "How many soldiers are there now?" ”
"More than 5,000 people." Areobindes also sighed, "There were 30,000 to 40,000 people, but Attila is too strong!" ”
"So," Luga then asked, "how many men are there in Attila?" ”
"Not 60,000 people!" Anlasis stepped forward to get ahead of Areobindes and said, "Their army has been invincible all the way, and now no one can stop him." ”
"How many of us are there?" Luga was a little unhappy, "The entire Thracian field army only has less than five thousand people, and ten field regiments are even more frightened by Attila, what else can they do?" And what about the soldiers you have brought? At that time, no less than 50,000 people went back! ”
"Oh, of course, we have twenty thousand people here, Lord Luga." Areobindes continued: "This is no small matter, Lord Luga, for Attila is advancing here, we are alone, and Augustus has drawn a large number of soldiers to serve as his capital guard because he wants to defend Constantinople. ”
"Ha, I see! I get it! Lu Jiagan laughed, and then said: "In the name of trust, you gave me five thousand remnants of the defeated army, and then you want me to defeat the enemy?" Ah, interesting! ”
