Seeing the five people standing up, Wang Xu asked, "I heard that you want to join the army?" ”

Among the five people, the tallest one is Liu Er, Liu Er and his younger brother decided to join the army after discussion, not to mix a bite to eat, to join the army to help the victims, the two felt very honored, Liu Er said sincerely: "General, you can accept us."

"How many young people like you want to join the army?" Wang Xu asked.

Liu Er shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the general came here thousands of miles away in order to transport food to us, and he also saved everyone's lives, and there must be many young people who want to join the army."

Wang Xu nodded, the current situation is already obvious, Minglan County instigated 50,000 homeless people to grab military rations, this is a declaration of war, Minglan County Commander is the father-in-law of the prince, he will definitely not let the grain team cross the border so easily, 50,000 homeless people failed to kill themselves, then the next is a head-to-head confrontation; With his current strength, if he wants to pass through the ten-mile-long Mingshan official road, it is tantamount to asking for his own death, and the only way to expand the army is to do so.

Wang Xu said: "Okay, you are now my Wang Xu's soldiers, you go back now and tell everyone that anyone who is older than 16 years old and less than 45 years old can come to join the army, and anyone who comes to join the army has two meals a day."

"Thank you, General" A few people almost laughed out loud when they heard it, two meals a day, what is this concept? Originally, I thought that it would be good to have a few flatbreads to eat a day, but as for eating, I never dared to think about it, but now the general's promise made the five of them feel even more that their decision was extremely correct.

Wang Xu waved his hand, several people withdrew from the camp, looking at Huang Quan, Wang Xu said: "If it is not as I expected, there must be many people who will come to join the army tomorrow, you go to the back camp now, count all the weapons we brought and the weapons we have captured, and distribute them tomorrow."

Huang Quan smiled bitterly: "General, there are thousands of young and strong people in the refugee camp, even if we take out all the weapons, we are afraid that it will not be enough."

"Then go to the mountains and cut wood, and sharpen the sticks as weapons; From now on, I will hand over this army to you, you have to train well, and in a few days you will follow me out of the Minglan official road." Huang Quan replied loudly: "No."

The next morning, before dawn, Huang Quan just fell asleep for a while, only to feel the fence of the front camp creak, Huang Quan stood up with a carp, and rushed out with a horizontal knife, only to see hundreds of homeless people lying on the fence, Huang Quan stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"General, we are here to join the army."

"General, take us."

Huang Quan was extremely embarrassed, he was not a general, but in the eyes of the homeless people, Huang Quan was a general, seeing the excitement of the crowd, Huang Quan had to go to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after Wang Xu's consent, Huang Quan immediately opened the gate of the front camp and distributed the weapons that had been prepared to them a long time ago. The recruitment was not completed until the afternoon, and almost all of the 50,000 homeless people came, and after counting, a total of more than 6,000 people were accommodated, of course, these more than 6,000 people could not all be equipped with iron spears, and Wang Xu did not have so many to distribute, so more than half of the more than 6,000 people still only held a sharpened wooden stick, and more than 1,000 soldiers with iron weapons wore armor.

Therefore, on the whole, Wang Xu felt that this team could only be used to scare people, and its combat effectiveness was not strong, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms, why could the millions of rebels still not be able to destroy more than 100,000 or 200,000 officers and soldiers, and the gap in weapons could not be bridged.

At the rear of the barracks, Wang Xu expanded the barracks by ten miles, and in addition to the soldiers' tents, there was also a large school field for training soldiers; Considering that the combat effectiveness of this team is extremely weak, Wang Xu decided to try not to let this soldier participate in the battle by escorting food through the official road of Minglan this time, because without weapons and equipment is equivalent to sending them to death, Wang Xu is reluctant.

However, considering that the number of soldiers who could participate in the battle was too small to deal with the officers and soldiers in Minglan County, Wang Xu divided the soldiers into two teams; The first is the main force, led by Sun Yu, and its members are 1,300 of the original and more than 1,000 recruits who have just joined, a total of 2,500 people; The more than 1,000 recruits who had just joined were the best of the 6,000 in terms of their physique and equipment, and they were also equipped with armor, horizontal swords, and spears, and in general they were no different from the original soldiers, except for a lack of training.

The second group is the remaining 5,000 men, led by Huang Quan and trained strictly; Although this team does not have good weapons, Wang Xu is still very optimistic, all of them are young and strong, and as long as they have a little training, they are an elite division; After arriving in Jingliao County, they created armor and weapons for them to install, and then they would have the power to suppress the bandits.

On the school field in the middle of the barracks, this is the place where soldiers are trained, and two thousand five hundred well-equipped soldiers under the leadership of Sun Yu stood in line on the left side of the school field, and on the right side of the school field is the five thousand young men under the command of Huang Quan, although they are not wearing armor, but they are also extraordinary.

More than 7,000 people stood in front of him, Wang Xu suddenly felt full of pride, and his heart was much more open; I remembered that a month ago, when I first came to this world, I was just a beggar with nothing, but I didn't expect that in just one month, I would become a general in command of more than 7,000 people.

Looking at the more than 5,000 soldiers behind Huang Quan, almost all of them looked at the 2,000 soldiers next to them with hot and envious eyes, the armor was bright, the swords and guns were shining, Wang Xu said guiltily: "Brothers, don't envy them, the armor will come sooner or later, as long as you train well, General Ben hereby promises, when we return to Jingliao, I will wear the latest armor for you, and issue you the sharpest knives and guns." The sound of "good, good" 5,000 people was like thunder, and it resounded throughout the school field.

Wang Xu continued: "The family has family rules, and the state has national laws; And our army must also have military law, and today we have set up two military rules here, and I hope you will strictly abide by them; First, a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, as a soldier, he must unconditionally carry out the orders of his superiors, and those who violate orders will be killed! ”

"Second, don't oppress the people, although you are now officers and soldiers, but you also have parents, you were also the people, the people take food as the sky, the officials take the people as the sky, and whoever oppresses the people will be beheaded!"

Wang Xu shouted loudly: "Do you hear it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly" The explosion thunder remembered again, and Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction. Sun Yu admired Wang Xu very much at this time, and the two military regulations said his own heart, since joining the army, Sun Yu has always dreamed of saving the people from fire and water, and now Wang Xu has set up military regulations in public, which is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for Sun Yu. In the past, he was just thinking about doing things for the people, but now there are more than 7,000 people on this school field who will help the people under the leadership of Wang Xu; Sun Yu secretly rejoiced, fortunately he met Wang Xu at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain that night, otherwise he would be just a thief for the rest of his life.
