Jiang Du had already left, but Zheng Xiong and his generals were still reminiscing about the conversation just now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info An additional 500,000 civilian army out of thin air will still excite them, even if the combat effectiveness is not flattering. And for the enemy, the inexplicable appearance of hundreds of thousands of enemies behind him is an incomparably headache.

This ginger can still toss! How could such a talent come from an ordinary fisherman's family?

They had all heard Jiang Du's legendary upbringing, but it was just a gossip joke and a laugh, but now they suddenly realized that those gossips seemed to make sense, Jiang Du would definitely not be the son of an ordinary fisherman.

"Liangzong, how long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" Zheng Xiong looked at the big man beside Tang Lan and asked in a deep voice.

"At least five more days!" Zhang Liang bowed down and replied, he was the division commander of the Fourth Division, and he was also in charge of the intelligence of the Red Dragon Fortress.

"Send someone to probe again, I need the exact time!" Zheng Xiong turned his head and stared at the military map full of annotations, a touch of determination appeared on his face.

"Yes! Subordinates go and arrange it immediately! ”

……

After the meeting, the generals dispersed, and Jiang Liao's figure then appeared in the conference hall.

"Master Zheng, I heard that Jiang Du came back just now?"

"Yes! I just walked away for a while. Zheng Xiong changed his previous excitement and said with a faint expression.

"Did something happen to him?" Jiang Liao asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Some progress has been made on his side! Zheng Xiong didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, but Jiang Liao bit it:

"Progress? What progress! ”

“……”

"What hard labor? You say be more detailed, don't ramble, okay? ”

"......" Zheng Xiong had no choice but to briefly introduce what happened on the North Shore.

"What! Jiang is stupid, is he going to heaven? Hearing Jiang Dao's feat, Jiang Liao showed an extremely exaggerated expression.

Zheng Xiong's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and he put on a smiling face and said, "That, Uncle Jiang Guo, can I ask you for something?" ”

"Lord Zheng has something, please speak up!" Jiang Liao nodded seriously.

"Jiang Du's matter, look, can you, don't report it!" Zheng Xiong said cautiously.

"How's that going to work? With his ability, it is more than enough to be a division commander! How can it be buried here? Jiang Liao rolled his eyes and said loudly.

Zheng Xiong suddenly became a little embarrassed: "What do you mean to be buried here?" Is my place bad? Here, he can be the commander of the division as well! ”

Jiang Liao showed a knowing smile: "Hehe! Then why didn't you let me report it? If I don't report it, can he sit in the position of division commander? ”

"This ......" Zheng Xiong seemed to be a little troubled.

"What's wrong? Inconvenient to talk to me? Then forget it! Jiang Liao stood up suddenly, raised his legs and walked out, Zheng Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to grab him.

"I said, Uncle Guo should know about what happened to Zhang Tiaoming, right?"

"You know, that kid is mixing well now! How? ”

"Zhang Tiaoming was originally a soldier under me, and he performed very well, but he was snatched away by Jiang Linchuan's bastard." Zheng Xiong said hatefully.

"Hey, don't scold the street?" Jiang Liao raised his eyebrows, and his face was a little unkind.

"What's wrong? Ahem, look at my pig brain, forget he's your uncle! Forgive sins, forgive sins! Zheng Xiong's face was stunned, and his forehead was sweaty.

"It's Uncle Cousin!" Seeing this, Jiang Liao didn't pursue it further.

"What uncle do I care about you, if you dare to come to Lao Tzu to rob people, you are all bastards!" Zheng Xiong muttered in his heart, but the smile on his face became stronger: "So, if you report Jiang Du's matter truthfully, it will not only be Jiang Linchuan at that time, I'm afraid that the commanders of the major armies in Beiyan will want to poach Jiang Du!" ”

"And what do you mean?" Jiang Liao asked.

"I mean, let Jiang stay with me for a while?" Zheng Xiong asked tentatively with a smile on his face.

"Yes, no problem, don't worry!" Jiang Liao waved his hand with a big grin.

"Okay, then I'll thank Uncle Guo first!" Zheng Xiong smiled when he heard this, and said flatteringly:

"Uncle Guo, what do you want to eat at night? I'll arrange for someone to do it for you! ”

Jiang Liao thought for a while, and then showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and Zheng Xiong suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"I want to eat the golden lotus seeds of Anbei River, I heard that you have a few of them?"

Zheng Xiong's smiling face stiffened suddenly, and then showed a painful expression, this golden lotus seed fish, the whole body is golden red, the meat is delicious, the shape is like a lotus petal, but the number is extremely rare, he spent a lot of money to get five, and it has been raised as a treasure for two years, and somehow it was known by Jiang Liao.

"Which son of a son said that! Let me know that I will never spare him! ”

Zheng Xiong was struggling with pain, but when he saw Jiang Liao's mouth gradually closing, he hurriedly turned his heart sideways and gritted his teeth:

"Steamed or braised?"

……

That night, Jiang stayed with the assistance of the fortress outpost, cleared the Assyrian outpost in the forest, and then returned to the north shore with 20 soldiers. These 20 people are all brigade commander-level soldiers, and they were drawn from the four divisions under Zheng Xiong's command. Now, Jiang Du only has dozens of elite soldiers in his hands, although his personal strength is good, he is not good at commanding in battle, and once a big battle occurs, it is easy to get out of control. Therefore, despite the tight manpower in the fortress, Zheng Xiong still sent 20 brigade commander-level soldiers to assist Jiang Dao in commanding these civilian troops.

The situation on the north shore has always been in danger, and even a few days ago there was even a shipment of grain to the other side, because these veterans and civilians had drilled in advance, so even the Assyrians on the other side did not see any flaws.

As soon as they arrived on the other side, they began to understand the specific situation of these civilian troops, and one of them, Lin Fang, was very flexible, and when he saw that the civilian army was not fully armed, he proposed to use the characteristics of the hoes and nail rakes to form a formation to make up for the shortcomings of the attack.

Jiang Du agreed with his proposal very much, so he reorganized the 500,000 army into 20 corps, led by these 20 brigade commanders. Each legion consisted of 3,000 nail rakes, 7,000 hoes, 5,000 bamboo brooms, 5,000 sickles, 3,000 swordsmen (guillotines and scimitars), 1,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 shield men.

For two days in a row, 20 civilian regiments hid in the hard labor camps on various farms for drills and run-ins, and the rest of the civilians, some of whom were responsible for reinforcing the barracks, and some of them were responsible for making military rations. Zhang Tiaoyue and others squatted on the bank day and night, closely monitoring the movements on the other side of the river.

For the current situation, Jiang Du was very satisfied, although he was not sure what the combat effectiveness of the reorganized civilian army was, it was definitely better than being disorganized and chaotic. Moreover, through the previous battles, these civilians at least dared to go into battle to kill the enemy, how far can they be expected to go?

In this way, the Red Dragon Fortress on the south bank and the civilian army on the north bank were tense and silently waited for the 500,000 Assyrian army to attack at any time. (To be continued.) )
