Chapter 41: Fear of Death Geman's Money Bag Never Falls Empty (owes 2
Seeing Geman's angry appearance, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter?"
And this Geman also seems to have played a child's temper, the thief's little eyes are closed, and he puts his head aside and ignores Zhang Xiao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Geman, my good Geman. Zhang Xiao shamelessly picked up Geman's money bag from the ground, gently wiped the dust off the money bag, and then stuffed it into Geman's hand, and persuaded with a smile: "Geman, don't pretend, master, I don't know that you still have a small treasury?"
Geman couldn't help but frown angrily again when he heard Zhang Xiao's words, and ignored Zhang Xiao just put his hands behind his back, and then snorted heavily.
"Geman, master, I beg you, take out the money in the small treasury!" Zhang Xiao continued to launch his cheeky offensive.
After another period of hard grinding, Geman relented and said, "Master, if all the remaining money is used, the villagers will rebel the next day! This is the money from the village to buy seeds!"
"Isn't it too early for spring sowing? When the time comes, the master will definitely pay you back, double! Okay!" Zhang Xiao patted his chest and promised.
"But..."
"Don't do it, but what, no matter how important it is, it can be more important than our lives?" Zhang Xiao lowered his face and scared Geman: "If our militia team can't beat the militia in the town, you Geman will also be arrested, and after they capture you, they will hang us, do you know the hanging? Even after you die, your tongue is still very long......
"Master, don't say it, I'll give! I'll give!" After Geman heard Zhang Xiao's threat, he immediately took out a small money bag from the sole of his shoe in a panic and handed it to Zhang Xiao.
Looking at the black money bag in front of him, Zhang Xiao would not take the money bag unless his head was squeezed by the door, otherwise he would not be killed, Zhang Xiao pinched his nose with one hand, and waved his hand at Geman with the other: "You take the money, I just need to see the protective equipment." β
After a few more hasty words of advice to Geman, Geman walked to another empty tent to rest, after all, Geman was so afraid of death that it would be like killing him to hurry back to the village after dark.
Looking at the sound of Geman's departure, Zhang Xiao couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid that Geman's money bag will never be empty." β
And this sentence happened to be heard by Xiao Hillman, who had never looked down on Geman outside the camp, and since then, there has been one more proverb in Zhang Xiao's army.

"Gil, go and pick out your head and his henchmen and send them to Marcelo for me. Zhang Xiao casually instructed Jill that since Jill was captured by Zhang Xiao, this kid simply leaned on their village protection team, listening to what this guy meant, he wanted the village protection team to be a backer, so that he would not be bullied when he returned to the town, and Zhang Xiao also happened to lack an errand retinue, seeing that Jill was usually quite neat, this took him in.
After Jill took away the mercenary captain and his ten henchmen, there were only forty-two mercenaries left in the field, because Zhang Xiao deliberately left a message, so there were no casualties in the last battle of the grotto camp, and these mercenaries were all alive and well, and they were not seriously injured, and even if they were injured, they were at most scratched.
"Don't be nervous, everyone! Captain has no ill will towards you. Zhang Xiao stood in the stands and said with a smile to the mercenary prisoners on the school ground.
The mercenaries who heard Zhang Xiao's words involuntarily raised their heads to look at Zhang Xiao, in fact, in this era, mercenaries are captured, or soldiers are captured, their way out is nothing more than to be killed, take the head for credit, torture and interrogation worthwhile, and sell those who don't want to be killed to be slaves, anyway, there is no good end.
Although these mercenaries were prepared for the worst at the moment of surrender, and even thought in their hearts that the best thing was to be slaves for a lifetime, but Zhang Xiao's words rekindled their flame of hope, after all, no one is born willing to be a slave.
"Master, I will give you two choices: first, join our village protection team, enjoy the same treatment as my soldiers, and you can rest assured, I will not break you up and divide you into the existing troops, I will set you up alone in a small team, under my direct leadership, so you don't have to worry about being bullied by other soldiers;
With a wave of Zhang Xiao's hand, Isco walked into the school from the sidelines, only to see Isco take out a lot of copper coins from his pocket, and then distribute them to each mercenary one by one, and explained: "This is the remuneration that the mercenary captain owes everyone in the past few years, and the captain searched out the money from the head of the regiment at the first time, and the captain said, this is everyone's hard-earned money, and things are one yard at a time, and the money has to be given to you first!"
Listening to Isco's words, some mercenaries couldn't stop their tears from flowing down on the spot, only to see a few mercenaries wiping their tears and kneeling on the ground and shouting to Zhang Xiao: "Master! With your sincerity to the little me, the little one is willing to serve the master!"
"I am willing to go to the soup for the master, and I will not give up!" The mercenaries cried and took the wages that had been in arrears for many years in their hands, their mood at this time could not be described as excited, a captain who could be so magnanimous was definitely better than the head of the regiment who was in arrears of pay and did all kinds of evil!
Looking at these old men who were crying in the field, the militiamen who were on guard on the side were also a little moved, and they had a sense of pride at this time: Look! This is the captain we swear to follow! He treats us as human beings! His mind is enough to accommodate this country and this world!
"Isco, you appease these brothers, and when they have calmed down, they will complete some registration procedures, and then assign them military uniforms, and all the broadswords in the army will be handed over to them to use, and they will not use spears. After Zhang Xiao gave Isco an order, he rushed to another training venue with Alonso.
In fact, Zhang Xiao's current troop configuration is very simple, more than 100 pikemen, seven donkey cavalry, more than a dozen sword and shield men, among them, in order to protect the donkey cavalry, the donkey cavalry sword and shield men generally act together with the donkey cavalry, forming a "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squad", and it can even be said that Zhang Xiao's troop configuration is very unscientific.
Zhang Xiao is now moved by the idea of introducing Roman tactics, and the first step in the introduction of Roman tactics, there is no doubt that the soldier's hand-to-hand combat ability, many people have the impression that Roman tactics are relying on a strict phalanx, exquisite cooperation, before receiving the enemy, bid for the gun, and then divide the heavy javelin and the conventional standard javelin in detail, the heavy javelin can even break the armor and kill the heavy infantry, which is also there, after the close combat is the Roman exquisite close combat, the coordination of shields and short swords, attack by row, and go to the rear of the phalanx to rest and continue to fight when you are tiredγ
The Roman method of warfare is simple and effective, but the Roman method of warfare is obviously not enough, the Macedonian gun formation, this is also the key topic that Zhang Xiao intends to introduce, but these have a premise, the soldier must first know how to fight, do you expect a soldier who does not know how to fight will be close to the shield short sword fighting, will throw the javelin correctly, will carry out basic gun array killing?
Therefore, it is urgent to improve the basic combat ability of soldiers!
