Chapter 9: Before the Siege

"My lord, as long as we train hard, we can eat white rice every day and get meat twice a week?"

Hearing Lu Xiu's words, a low, ugly-looking middle-aged soldier below suddenly spoke.

"You're wrong."

"I'm not only talking about white rice every day and meat twice a week, but also the monthly salary on time."

"You don't have to worry that I won't pay the soldiers, as long as you work hard enough and be obedient, even if the top hasn't paid so much soldiers, I will make up for it myself, and each person will pay a lot of three dollars of silver per month."

After saying this, Lu Xiu directly reached out and untied the big bag he was carrying behind his back and spread it to the ground.

The moment the bags were scattered, the three hundred taels of silver that were stacked tightly and full instantly looked at the eyes of the five hundred soldiers under the stage, and these soldiers were in a commotion when they saw this, and the soldiers in the front row were involuntarily squeezed to the front of the stage by the restless comrades behind them.

"What for, what for!"

"Look at you one by one, how can you have the appearance of being a soldier, all of you are fucking like a group of thieves and bandits who have never seen the world."

Lu Xiu directly pulled out a spear on the stage and swept it towards the crowded soldiers under the stage, knocking them over one by one, and restoring these restless soldiers to a calm state again.

"You've all listened to me!"

"I, Lu Xiu, as your current master of five hundred, the money I took out now is the private property of the rich merchant I robbed when I came all the way before."

"However, now I will send them all to you, and first give you two months' salary in advance, as a superior officer, you must know how rare it is to be able to give such treatment to your rabble."

"Therefore, if there are any of you who dare to disobey discipline and do not train seriously under such circumstances, I will definitely punish him mercilessly and severely, and even directly beat him with a military stick to kill him, and make an example of one by one."

Lu Xiu stood straight on the Dianjiang platform, with a cold and murderous face, obviously he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but the coldness of the words he spit out made the five hundred soldiers under the Dianjiang stage feel cold as if they were blown by the cold wind of Sanjiu.

"Shhh

"This new adult is a bit imposing, but in just half an hour, these five hundred bastards who have just been recruited have been subdued by him, powerful!"

"He is worthy of being favored by General Zhang!"

Seeing that Lu Xiu had completely subdued this group of bastard-like soldiers in just a few words, some of the chiefs and hundred generals who had been sent to these soldiers from other elite units for management and promotion saw the ability and courage of their chief officer for the first time, and gradually began to have expectations and a sense of identity for him.

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's start the most basic training now, everyone will stand for half an hour before talking, and the posture will be according to my current appearance."

"It is required to have a straight back, close your hands to your thighs, raise your head and chest, correct five times in a row those who fail to pass and those who stand for less than half an hour, and the next meal will be disqualified, and I will be hungry!"

Looking at the silent atmosphere under the general's stage, Lu Xiu's voice was cold, and he took the lead in standing on the general's platform, while Li Yinsu, as his deputy, began to correct the specific posture and movements of the five hundred soldiers below on the spot.

Li Yinsu held a thick long whip in her hand, walked in the crowd and carefully inspected the posture of the soldiers below, in the process of such a patrol, once she saw anyone whose movements were greatly unqualified or did not cooperate, she would directly whip it over, and she grinned her teeth, which can be said to be a stern instructor.

It was late February, and the weather was cold and cold, and it was drizzling in the sky in a short time.

But even in this case, Lu Xiu still stood straight on the point platform, indifferently continuing his standing training.

And the soldiers below, even if they have a lot of complaints in their hearts, under the sincere attitude of the main generals with the same posture as themselves, they can only honestly accompany them to train together, and they dare not have half a word of complaint.

Under this misty drizzle, these soldiers below were only eliminated by six people and survived half an hour of standing training, and were rewarded by Lu Xiu's praise and white rice, while the six unlucky eggs could only obediently starve for a meal, waiting for the start of the afternoon training.

Regarding the change in the attitude of the group of soldiers below after a training, Lu Xiu just silently took it in his eyes and did not say too much.

After all, this is just the beginning, in the next month of training, he still has training methods and military regulations to rectify these bastard soldiers, as a traveler of two lives, Lu Xiu needs to refer to the memory of his previous life to adjust his training method little by little.

If you want to become a qualified thousand-person general, in addition to the necessary force value, it is obvious that Lu Xiu also needs to have a group of elite soldiers under his command as confidence, and the current five hundred soldiers are a group of qualified experimental subjects that he has selected for himself.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first day of the fourth month, and after a month of training and rectification, Lu Xiu has finally established a stable layer of prestige among his group of soldiers.

Although he can't control the five hundred soldiers under his command as much as his arms can point, as a five-hundred-person master of the middle-level general class, Lu Xiu has finally reached the qualified line at this moment.

As the result of more than a month of training, although the number of soldiers under Lu Xiu is still about 500, about 1/10 of them are recruits who were re-recruited after being eliminated, and the more than 50 original soldiers who were eliminated successfully entered the army of the rest of the generals under Zhang Yurong after being abandoned by Lu Xiu.

And as such a soldier who has been trained in a simulated modern way for a month, the five hundred soldiers under Lu Xiu at this moment can be regarded as barely entering the ranks of elite soldiers among the strength of the thirty or forty thousand red-robed rebel army, and their combat effectiveness and discipline are not comparable to the wild road more than a month ago.

"Senior brother has not been training well in the past month, and now I finally see the results, I heard that they will be sent to attack the city next?"

Li Yinsu stood beside Lu Xiu on the platform, looked at the soldiers who acted in unison under the stage, couldn't help but nodded, and then quietly looked at Lu Xiu and asked.

"Hmm."

"I just received an order from General Zhang yesterday, asking me to lead this group of soldiers to Wuqi County to attack the city within three days, where the imperial court is weak, and it is a good place for the soldiers to see blood."

"Siege is certainly not an easy task, but I believe that the group of soldiers I have trained has the ability to conquer the city guards, in short, everything will be fought first."

Lu Xiu narrowed his sharp Danfeng eyes, whispered in his mouth, and responded to Li Yinsu's words.
