Chapter 7 Fight your way to prosperity

The Xiaoguo army returned triumphantly, and when they returned to the camp, the entire army was immediately busy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll the literate people in the Xiaoguo army were singled out and registered one by one for the more than 18,000 captives. The name, place of origin, specialty, and family of each captive were recorded in the register one by one, and then classified, and those suitable for infantry were gathered together, and those suitable for archers were grouped together. Of course, the southerners have fewer cavalry talents, but there are quite a lot of craftsmen.

After finishing the arrangement, the Xiaoguo army selected more than 12,000 people from these captives to be infantry, more than 2,000 people were classified as archers, and 600 cavalry men, making a total of 15,000 soldiers.

There are nearly a thousand craftsmen of various skills, who are included in the conscription, ready to be useful in the future, and the other 1,000 are not suitable to be war soldiers and are classified as baggage soldiers.

The Xiaoguo Army was once again reorganized and expanded, and all the original five battalions were transformed into regimental formations. Moreover, the number of six battalions of each regiment increased to one thousand eight hundred, and the total number of five regiments totaled nine thousand.

Of the remaining 4,000 people, Xin Lei temporarily assigned them to his own command to form a pro-corps.

The archers were also expanded, with two regiments and eight battalions totaling 2,600 men.

Three regiments and six battalions of cavalry, totaling 1,200 people.

The baggage regiment was 1,500 people.

After this reorganization, if all of them are counted as having nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under Xin Lei, the military strength has swelled all of a sudden.

With so many new recruits, Xin Lei is not worried about affecting his combat effectiveness, he only needs to train for a short time, and they will soon form combat effectiveness.

Because, the military system of the Sui Dynasty determined that these captives had a certain technical combat ability. The Sui Dynasty stipulated that those over the age of 18 were Ding, who were engaged in production in peacetime and military training in agricultural slack.

Xin Lei's confidence is extremely inflated, Nima, Lao Tzu finally has some strength. You can't come to this life without doing anything, right? This is also forced to be helpless, who let us travel through the troubled times? Now that the world is in chaos, if you want to survive, you must fight, otherwise there is no way to live. Since you have to take this road, you have to make a profit.

Why do you have to let the mixed-race son of the Li family sit in the country, this great country and Lao Tzu also have to fight and take the emperor's throne.

There is a way to live in troubled times, lawlessness! Well, one word is grab! Not only to rob the emperor's throne, but also to rob beauties, to rob wealth, the country is mine, everything in the Great Sui Dynasty is mine......

This guy Yiyin did not forget to do his business, and after the reorganization was completed, he immediately summoned all the officers and soldiers to give a lecture.

The Xiaoguo army wounded in this battle was placed in the front, and the entire army was behind. This lecture was mainly to say to Xin Lei what he said before, after the war, wounded soldiers are often the objects of abandonment, Xin Lei will not do this.

"Soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, we have finally achieved victory. Remember what I said last time? As I said, I want to fight a bloody road, and lead you to a road to prosperity.

It's just getting started, and the results are still far from now, but there are some things that can be done first.

For example, these wounded soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, what should they do? Do you want to discard it? No, never, I'm not going to leave any of you behind.

Although you can no longer go to war, you are still part of the Devil's Army. In the future, you can do what you can, for example, to form a city guard in this surrounding county, to maintain law and order, to maintain peace and security, and to eliminate some small groups of bandits if conditions permit.

At the same time, it can also recruit and train for the army, and provide soldiers for the Xiaoguo army. You can do a lot of things, in a word, you have been promoted.

Of course, if someone dares to harm the people and bend the law for bribes, the military discipline of the Xiaoguo Army will not let you go.

Don't forget that you are a member of the Fruit Army, and don't disgrace this Fruit Army. Xiaoguo Army, brave and resolute, always remember that you are a soldier of Xiaoguo Army. Long live the Fruit Army! ”

Xin Lei's words were very sensational, which made the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army below extremely excited, and even those prisoners who had just joined the army were also moved. The excited soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army shouted in unison: "Long live the Xiaoguo Army!" ”

The wounded soldiers on the field shed tears of excitement, and before that, they were worried about their future fate, but in the blink of an eye, they heard such good news, can they not be excited?

After the lecture was over, Xin Lei ordered the army to pull out the village and retreat to the area of Boyang City. Xinlei sent troops to escort the wounded to several surrounding counties and help them form a city guard.

Of course, Xin Lei's retreat is not an ordinary withdrawal of the army, but the dispatch of the army to evacuate the surrounding people with them. The army went to the countryside and preached that the bandits were coming, and that they were as large as locusts, and that they were so ferocious that there were no men or animals everywhere they passed.

The peasants were frightened by their demagoguery, and the deterrent power of the army, so they had to evacuate with the army with their food.

Fortunately, the population of the area south of the Yangtze River was not very dense during this period, and the population of the Great Sui Dynasty was more than 40 million, mainly concentrated in the Central Plains, and the most populous were Jizhou Road, Yuzhou Road, Yanzhou Road and Qingzhou Road.

Xin Lei's evacuation of the people was purposeful, he wanted to clear the township and leave Lin Shihong with an empty territory. Xin Lei believes that a rebel like Lin Shihong, who has just started his army, will not have a complete series of formations, and there will not be too much grain and grass with him, so it is estimated that he will grab it wherever he goes.

I leave you an empty place, when you have no food and grass, you have no place to grab food, starve to death you! Xin Lei is despicable and ruthless enough!

The war was over, and it was a great victory, and of course Xin Lei could not forget to report his merits to Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor of Jiangdu. Xin Lei asked the civilian official Cao Minghui to write a good report, starting with the defeat of the Xiaoguo army, and then truthfully reporting the battle.

Xin Lei killed nearly 2,000 enemies with 3,000 men and horses, and defeated 20,000 rebels. However, Xin Lei did not mention the matter of the prisoners, but emphasized that the strength of the Xiaoguo army was too weak, lacking food, grass, war horses, weapons and equipment, and it was bitter anyway.

Finally, Xin Lei also told Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, that it is reported that the strength of the thief leader Lin Shihong is developing extremely fast, and he is afraid that it will be nearly 100,000 horses in the near future. The 3,000 men and horses here are struggling to resist, and they really have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

The good news has been sent to Jiangdu, as for what the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang thinks, that is his business. However, Xin Lei is not without Yiyin, how can Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, have something to say, right? It's okay to give some food and grass equipment or something, and it's better than nothing.

Anyway, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, is about to finish, don't be in vain.

Xin Lei asked Song Weizhao's regiment and Gong Xiaoxiang's four regiments, with a total of 3,600 men, to garrison Yugancheng, and he led the army to the east to continue to retreat, scattered in several county towns behind them.

Lin Shihong was going to attack, Song Wei summoned them to bear the brunt, and Xin Lei told them that they must be nailed here like nails, and they must not take half a step back.

"Yu Gancheng is the key to the next battle, even if you die, you have to defend me. Tell the officers and soldiers not to have worries, and I will raise the wives and children of the officers and soldiers who died in the war. ”

These people were unlucky, and they were put in a desperate situation by Xin Lei. Nima, still learn from Cao Cao, your wife and I raise him. Cao Cao raised Qin Yulu's wife......
