Chapter 424: Arriving at the county seat on time
The regular legion of this increase recruits between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, and if it is a fourth-level combat power, the age can be relaxed to thirty years old, for example, Feng Liang benefited from this provision and joined the ranks of overage recruits with the cultivation of the Broken Shield Knight.
Black Earth City did not complete the recruitment target of 250 until June 18, and Red and Lei Zhang joined the ranks of recruits on the last day.
Huo Jianqi handed Ding Kui a roster, and among the two hundred and fifty recruits, there were thirty knights, fifty archers, and one hundred and seventy samurai, of which the proportion of knights was estimated to be the lowest among all the cities in Pingzhong County.
Ding Kui simply greeted Lei De and Lei Zhang, and then asked Ao Yu to take the warriors to collect the basic equipment, and the archers and knights to dismantle the temporary barracks and pack them for take.
The towns provided only water bags for recruits, a certain amount of dry rations, a marching pot for every ten men, simple tents, two sets of coarse cloth underwear per person, military boots, and a small amount of medicine. Individual equipment such as armor, weapons, and horses were only available in the county towns, and ordinary cities only provided the most basic supplies to recruits.
Since Ding Kui is a regular army, the materials distributed by the Black Earth City are all purchased by the Equipment Department, if the Equipment Department does not give some money to the city lords to earn, how can the cities work so hard when they recruit soldiers.
Even if it was the prince of the protector and the captain of the recruit reinforcement squadron, the materials that Ding Kui received were no different from everyone. He wears coarse underwear and military boots like all recruits, the only difference is that he has a sword, and the "Moon Death" cannot be thrown into the spatial ring, everyone knows that he has it, and it would be suspicious if he didn't carry it with him and suddenly took it out.
The "Moonfall" is swarthy and inconspicuous in the crowd, making it more suitable for use on the battlefield.
Armor is completely different, if you don't wear standard armor, wear your own special gorgeous armor, it will be a very conspicuous target on the battlefield, everyone knows that you are a special character. Enemy troops will rush over and kill you first, and the credit for killing a special person is several times greater than killing an ordinary soldier.
Everyone set off immediately, Ding Kui did not delay a little, and rushing to the county town as soon as possible to assemble was the first military order he received.
"The whole team has it, the target is Pingzhong County, march at full speed, and go!" Ding Kui took the lead and ran away from the big playground of the Black Earth City Knights Guild.
Ding Kui himself can't use his own horses, and his own things are not easy to use in the regular army, except for the items allowed by military regulations, everything else is provided by the equipment department, so the children of the nobles do not have much advantage in the army, and they have no privileges on the surface.
About ten kilometers away from Black Earth City, Ding Kui looked back a few times, waved his hand to let Lao Wangjue, who was holding the banner of Black Earth City, run in front, and ran to the side to slow down.
"Xia Zhigang and Zhang Fenwu, the two of you go to the front and explore the rest point and tonight's campsite. Ding Kui sent two archers as scouts, "Lei De, Lei Zhang, you two palaces, gather the soldiers who have fallen behind, and be sure to rush to the camp before dark." ”
"Yes!" Red and Lei Zhang, who were running in the middle of the line, took the order to run to the back.
These two Lei family disciples have reached the peak of the Fighting Blade Knight, and they may break through to the Shield Breaking Knight at any time, although there are still a few fourth-level combat power among the recruits, but the people of Black Earth City will give them two faces, so that their palaces have a certain appeal.
The commander of the 21st Army is Gu Jun, and the commander of the 201st Division has also been determined, named Zhang Jie, who is a fierce general of the Shaodian Kingdom. Zhang Jie had rushed to the county seat of Pingzhong, and ordered all cities to rush to the county seat as soon as possible to assemble, and it seemed that the recruits of Pingzhong County were to be incorporated into his 201st division.
Ding Kui and the others set off in the afternoon, and according to the military order, he needed to lead the team to march at full speed, and according to the standards of the Shaodian military, marching 100 kilometers in half a day met the requirements of marching at full speed.
Among the recruits in Black Earth City, the worst strength also has the initial third-level combat power, which is considered to be of good quality among the soldiers in various places, and it is not easy to march a hundred kilometers in half a day, but it is not too difficult, and there are few people who can't keep up with the brigade.
According to the plan, the recruit team of Heitu City will rush to Pingzhong County on the morning of June 21, and only when all the staff arrive at Ding Kui can they complete the first military order, so Ding Kui must arrange people with appeal to the palace.
Once the military order is not completed, Ding Kui is punished, and Lei De and Lei Zhang, who are in charge of the palace, will not be able to escape, which can be regarded as a binding of responsibility.
According to the regulations, the guest army is not allowed to enter the city, and can only be stationed outside the city, which means that Ding Kui's camp is just near a city, and they are not allowed to enter the city.
After running 100 kilometers, Ding Kui's recruit team basically remained intact, and because the weight on his body was not much, the 250 recruits did not fall behind or be injured, and it was relatively easy to complete the full-speed rapid march.
In a normal division-level march, each soldier has armor and weapons, and only special troops can hand over ordnance to the baggage team for transportation, and each person's weight reaches at least fifty catties.
"Are we still called cavalry, run with the infantry, you have to pass my basic training, otherwise you may fall behind. Red grumbled as soon as he arrived at the camp.
"It's good if you say it in front of me, don't say it in front of the generals who have been on the battlefield, otherwise even if you are issued a war horse, they will order you to run with the infantry. Ding Kui hurriedly knocked Red.
"Why? I was drafted to serve as a cavalryman, not to participate in basic training. Red wasn't convinced.
"I'm convinced, Red, you've not matured after all these years. Don't you know what kind of person Instructor Huo is? The generals in the army are more ruthless than him, and their demands are even stricter! They like you the most if they are not convinced, and they will definitely arrest you and torture you as a typical example for the whole army to see. Ding Kui shook his head as he spoke, a little hating that iron does not become steel.
Red listened to the furry in his heart, and said that he was not afraid that what Ding Kui said was false, "Will I be tortured if I didn't make a mistake?"
"If I want to target you, you won't feel good, let alone the captain, division commander, and corps commander with more power. If you don't believe me, it's easy, and tomorrow you'll have three more tents on your back, and you'll go out with the scouts to explore the way. Ding Kui sneered.
"Uh, no! It's too dark, everyone, don't play with me. Red is a bit childish, but he is not stupid, and he immediately thinks of dirtier and more tiring work from Ding Kui's words.
"Hmph, you really don't give up if you don't want to Xijiang, if you complain in the future, you will hold it in your stomach, and when you get to the commander of the army, you can cut off your head if you disturb the morale of the army. "It's not easy to be a leader, and his subordinates are really in charge of so many people, Ding Kui pretends to be quite successful.
Ding Kui didn't just teach Red a lesson, he started patrolling the camp after dinner, and scared and coaxed every complaining recruit. He took great pains to rectify the morale of the recruits, not to establish personal prestige, but to sincerely hope that this group of Black Earth City villagers could mix better in the army.
Don't underestimate the more than 200 people, after they are divided into squadrons, they can at least drive the strength of a few hundred people, and if they can gather a few hundred people in the melee, it is a very strong combat force.
Those who can come to join the regular army have seen pig runs even if they have never eaten pork, they all have a certain understanding of life in the army, and there is only one boy like Red, and Ding Kui is not too bothered to bring this team of recruits.
On the morning of June 21, Ding Kui led his team to Pingzhong County.
A huge military camp was built on the east side of the county town of Pingzhong, and new recruits from various cities were constantly entering, and the personnel of the county knights' guild and a few people who looked like generals were busy near the gate of the barracks, arranging for recruits to arrive from all walks of life.
All the gates of the county town were equipped with people from the Knights' Guild to show the way to the newly arrived recruits.
Ding Kui was received by instructor Yan Xihu, who is the father of Yan Wei, a county contestant.
"Shizi, have all the recruits from Black Earth City arrived?" Yan Xihu asked.
"Report to Instructor Yan, the recruit team of Black Earth City should be two hundred and fifty people, but it is actually two hundred and fifty-one, and there are no recruits left behind on the way. Ding Kui replied.
"Oh, I see, your own soldier. Yan Xihu immediately came to his senses.
Ding Kun arrived in the county town earlier than Ding Kui, found Teng Yan and told Ding Kui about his request to bring a personal soldier into the army, and used the big seal of Hu Ben's commander to exercise the right to remove obstacles for Ding Kui.
Teng Yan quickly reported to the Cavalry Branch, and the Cavalry Division directly contacted the System Marshal's Mansion, and the Commander's Office had no choice but to agree to Ding Kui's request in the face of the right to remove obstacles. On the second day, the military order allowing Ding Kui to match a personal soldier was issued to Gu Jun, the commander of the 21st Legion, and the Pingzhong County Knight Guild was also notified.
"Yes. Ding Kui didn't explain much when he saw that Yan Xihu knew.
"Well, okay, there is a military order in the Commander's Palace, allowing you to bring a personal soldier, and you should report to the barracks in a while, you should say that you should be two hundred and fifty-one. The temporary camp is located in the east of the city, you can lead the team there, someone will arrange for you. "Yan Xihu is the first time in his life that he has seen a recruit captain with a personal soldier.
"Oh, okay, thank you Instructor Yan. Ding Kui turned around and shouted at Ao Yu, "Ding Yu, now remove the title of deputy captain of your recruit team, and you will be my personal soldier from now on." ”
Ao Yu said lazily: "Yes." ”
Although Ding Kui is a little faceless, there is no better way, this dragon is what Lai Pi looks like, anyway, he can be a strong thug at a critical time. He led the team to jog to the temporary camp, which was still two or three hours before noon, and would definitely not delay the military order.
Seeing the recruit team with the banner of Black Earth City, someone immediately ran to the big tent of the Chinese army to report, and after a while, a fat strong man came to the gate of the camp.
Ding Kui paid attention to the slightly fat strong man who was full of murderous aura from a distance, and when he came to the gate of the camp, he first asked the recruits to stop, trotted by himself, came to the strong man, hammered his chest with his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Report to the chief, the subordinate is Ding Kui, the captain of the recruits of the Black Earth City, and the recruit team of the Black Earth City requires to enter the camp." ”
