Chapter 65: Encountering Fugitive Slaves on the Road
On the road to Arano marched a team from Montenegro, the soldiers of this team were dressed completely differently from the locals, everyone wore camouflage uniforms and carried rifles, like an army that had traveled through time and space, marching through the otherworldly lands.
Everyone in the team was on horseback, and they were very fast. The leader is Huang Zheng, who has been promoted to company commander. A group of old buddies around him, Garcia, Enrique and Wu Qi are all in the team. And Huang Zheng is next to his old boss Ji Yijun, who is the only one in the team who is not wearing a camouflage uniform, and he joined the support army as a master of loan.
After Chen Hansheng took Arano, he sent the noble prisoners to the rear, explained the complexity of the current situation in the town, and asked the rear to send another reinforcement army to prevent retaliation from the Duke of Greenwood. This team of more than 100 people is the first support army.
After half a year of construction, the escort battalion has begun to expand into a escort regiment. Among the freemen and slaves recruited by the school, they selected a group of relatively good performing activists, and with the soldiers of the original guard battalion as the backbone, they more than tripled the ranks and formed a sizable team.
Although the support force was small in number, all members were armed with air guns, and more than twenty of them had combat classes.
A few months have passed, and various magic and Douqi training methods have been harvested, and there are Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, Mao Kai, Qin Mu and Chen Hansheng, who are the first mages and warriors to summarize theories and experiences, and the school's magic and Douqi education has begun to slowly blossom and bear fruit. Among these people, Huang Zheng and Wu Qi were already low-level mages, and they and eight other mages formed a battle mage class directly under the Guardian Regiment, and these mages all learned the same combat magic. The researchers of the magic team hope that they will have an overwhelming combat effect on the battlefield by working together.
In terms of warriors, in addition to Ji Yijun being a mid-level warrior, Enrique's flying dragon bloodline has also advanced to the middle level. Ten of the other warriors have become low-level warriors. Although they are all low-level fighters, the fighters of these escort regiments are very different from the low-ranking fighters of other forces on the mainland, and the low-ranking fighters of other forces are often assigned as officers in the army, while the Chinese gather these fighters to use as scouts or special forces.
And the military commander is still the soldier with the best military quality, the most reliable politics, and sufficient management ability. Because even in this world where individual abilities can break through imagination, both Wang Jiyuan and the other committee members already believe that the strength of the army still comes from the organization, not from the individual.
"The strength of the Duke of Greenwood City must be considered strong among the surrounding lords. But one of the biggest problems of these feudal lords was the limited standing army. Most of the power needs to be drawn from the various minor lords. It takes a long time just to gather troops. Huang Zheng said on his horse and Ji Yijun beside him.
Ji Yijun held the reins and nodded: "If we can get the information in advance, we should take the initiative to attack and keep the enemy out of the country." If you can knock them out on the way, the town won't have to go through another battle. ”
Huang Zheng said: "The manpower of the intelligence team had already gone down with the caravan a week ago, and they had watched the movements in the territory of the lords below him. So as soon as there is an army assembled, we will soon know. ”
"Since Zhou Xiaoren was driven to farming, the efficiency of the intelligence team that Peng Ziyi took over has really improved a lot. Ji Yijun praised, "People are not from professional backgrounds, but they are serious and fair-minded, and the things they do are different." What did Zhou Xiaoren do before, but Team Leader Luo was so powerful that he was forced into the fertilizer factory. ”
The two were about to deduce the details of the halfway attack, when a soldier came up and reported: "Company commander! There is a man lying at the bottom of the hill in front. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Ji Yijun said.
Lying on the side of the road was a young man, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in very shabby linen clothes, with many torn and scratches on his body, and his face was stained.
"Alive. Ji Yijun got off the horse to check and put his hand on his forehead, "It burns badly." Enrique, Garcia, move him to the clearing over there first. ”
"This is a fugitive slave. See the imprint under his collarbone. Must have escaped from the surrounding aristocratic territory. There are many minerals in the vicinity of Arano, and there are many mine owners who buy slaves to open mines, and this is one of them. ”
He beckoned to the back again and said, "Wu Qi, come and see, what healing magic can be used." ”
"You kid, the person who commands me is not ambiguous. Who the hell is the company commander. Huang Zheng scolded with a smile.
"I'm in command of my apprentice and girlfriend, it's your business!"
Wu Qi and the hygienist checked the boy's body together and said, "This child was frightened, and then overworked, and was frozen at night, and got a cold. It is estimated that when I went downhill before, my legs were weak and slipped, and I rolled this side downhill and fell unconscious. I'll treat him first, and then treat a few relatively large wounds to stabilize his body. Then, after we camped, we gave him a wipe and some hot stuff. I think he'll recover. ”
Huang Zheng nodded and said, "We will walk another ten kilometers today, and we will soon camp, Garcia, you will hold him and ride a horse in a while, and be careful in your movements." ”
"Company commander, this guy is dirty, and my clothes are still brand new. Just find a horse and tie him to the horse, right?" Garcia muttered. The boy had a lot of unknown stains on his body, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't taken a bath, and there was a sour smell on his body.
"How can this be, he is wounded, it is too dangerous. You just have to work hard. Huang Zheng said.
Ji Yijun slapped him on the back of the head, "A few months ago, you were a mud monkey jumping up and down. It's only been a few days since you got off the tree?
"How can I ever be like him......" Garcia said, tilting his head.
"What do you say?"
"Yes, Master. ”
"This is called the situation of the military and the people, do you hear it!" Seeing Garcia looking at him with a frowning face, Ji Yijun said, "It seems that I want to suggest Lao Huang to strengthen ideological and political education." Consciousness is terrible. ”
"Spare me. Garcia quickly picked up the unconscious teenager and rolled over on his horse again. After having a vindictive spirit, these movements are very clean and neat.
Ji Yijun glanced at Huang Zheng with some pride, and the latter smiled slightly: "Garcia, you take him first, and after a while, let your master replace you." Today you two will set an example for everyone. Also, after a while, the camp will be set up, and the matter of bathing and changing his clothes will be left to the two of you. ”
