Now the population of Yanyun County is not large to begin with, and it has dropped sharply after the war. The large areas of idle land must be cultivated, right?
They are given travel expenses and dry food, but they are half less than the ordinary people. You are so full of food from the fresh people that you all eat... you can really eat it!
After sending it out, tell them to get out of here!
Otherwise, I might change my mind at any time and kill them all, ha ha ha ha!
Early the next morning, Li Tanhua would go back to make arrangements. Xiao Chen's army would arrive at Niutoushan in a few days. Food, drink, and shelter for more than 10,000 people was a big problem, so preparations had to be made in advance.
In addition, he had to keep an eye on Uluolan's troops passing by in case anything happened.
Xiao Chen sent him two hundred fast horses and fine cavalry, and also selected a dozen brothers from Xichang who were good and very skilled as guards. He also took Duan Linger, Xiao Ye, Tie Kunlun, and Lu Fei to personally escort him out.
, chatting all the way, and unknowingly walked ten miles away.
"Boss, I've sent you thousands of miles away, but you'll have to say goodbye eventually. Besides, we'll meet again in a few days. Why bother sending you so far away? Please come back." Li Tanhua reined in the horse.
"Well, you must be more careful on your way here. I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just afraid that She'etu will cause trouble for you." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, I thought he wouldn't even dare to die!" Li Tanhua smiled proudly, "His martial arts skills are better than mine, but it's not that easy to kill me. Besides, there are so many brothers.
Follow me, but I'm afraid of him? Boss, you should be careful yourself."
"Haha, I don't think he would even dare to do it! If he dares to come, even one of my tens of thousands of brothers can drown him with just a drop of spit!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Then it's better to be careful. Boss, you have too many concerns, so we can't let anything go wrong." Li Tanhua said.
"Let's all be careful, see you at Niutoushan." Xiao Chen and Li Tanhua raised their hands to say goodbye, watching them go away and disappear into the prairie, never to be seen again, and then slowly returned.
"This Li Tanhua is really a strange person." Lu Fei greatly admired this legendary double Tanhua man.
Wen Neng can bring peace to the world with his pen, and Wu Neng can set the world on horseback, but he is also a great monk...
"He is still a master." Tie Kunlun also admired this person very much.
"Boss, let me tell you something." Duan Ling'er said, "I think some of those guys who surrendered are pretty good and they can run pretty fast..."
"You also want those bastards?" Xiao Chen was greatly surprised. How could Duan Ling'er, a petty temperament, accept such a person as his subordinate?
"Originally, I quite disliked them, but after chatting with them yesterday, it seemed that many of them had their own difficulties. At that time, they actually planned to hold on and sent many people to break through the siege and go to Yanyunguan to seek help.
But they refused to send any soldiers or generals to rescue them, so they abandoned the city and surrendered in despair."
"The hundred or so people I was eyeing were all the teams that broke out to ask for help. They went to Yanyunguan to ask for help but failed and did not escape. However, they all risked their lives and returned to the city. They said they wanted to fight with the city.
Brothers live and die together.
Although they later followed the general and surrendered, they can't be regarded as greedy for life and afraid of death, right?"
Duan Linger did not do this on a whim, but after careful investigation.
"Yes, boss, I have also talked with them. Many brothers actually did not want to surrender. At that time, they also wanted to fight to the death with the Xianbo people! But their generals and officers were too cowardly and chose directly
If they surrender without a fight, they will have no leader and can only choose to follow the crowd." Lu Fei said.
"The general is the soul of the army, and the officers are the soul of the army. If they lose their fighting spirit, it is like losing their soul. When Marquis Li Chang was guarding the isolated city, his soldiers knew that they would die, but none of them escaped and
Those who surrendered, but after the Marquis committed suicide for his country, they all dispersed immediately..." Tie Kunlun said.
"They also said that it's not that they don't want to die fighting for the Great Zhou, but that the Great Zhou treats them all as abandoned children and orphans! The equipment and supplies they usually give them are pitiful, and their wages are in arrears for a year.
They were forced to be self-sufficient and grow their own crops to feed themselves. This resentment lasted for more than a day or two..."
Duan Linger spent the whole day yesterday in Jiangbing. She has a small mouth and is good at chatting, so she got a lot of and detailed information.
In fact, her original intention was not to chat with these guys, but to find trouble and beat them up. The boss said not to kill them, so it is always okay to beat them to relieve their anger, right?
Girl, I am a little girl, and I am not afraid of death when I go into battle to kill the enemy. Is it ridiculous that you guys actually surrendered to the enemy?
It depends on which of you is unlucky...
Unexpectedly, after asking around, she found out that many of the actual situations were different from what she thought, so she forgot about beating people and selected more than a hundred people who met her requirements to become a wing guard.
She didn't dare to make the decision on her own in this matter, she had to ask her boss for instructions.
"You have the final say about your Wing Guards. I don't care. But although these guys may have their reasons and extenuating circumstances, their crimes are unforgivable. You can accept them, but you cannot erase the sign of their surrender."
I'll give it up, and then I can atone for my sins later by killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds." Xiao Chen reluctantly agreed.
"Yes!" Duan Ling'er said hurriedly, "That's what I told them too. They are all temporarily assigned to my Wing Guards now. They will not be formally assigned until they have made meritorious service in the future."
"If that's the case, I also want to select some people to supplement my Yulin Guards. There should be many of them who are good at riding and shooting." Lu Fei also took the opportunity to make a request.
His Yulin Guards already numbered more than 300 people, but he felt that there were not enough because the battle of archers and cavalry was different from the battle of infantry and cavalry.
The main advantage of the cavalry is roundabout defensive operations. When charging, they only play the role of assisting and coordinating. Their independent combat capabilities are relatively poor, and they must cooperate with other services.
If you want to improve your independent combat capabilities, you must form an arrow array with a certain depth to form a powerful long-range firepower network and achieve a suppressive combat effect.
In other words, before the enemies can get closer, they will all be shot to death!
He created an arrow array of his own, which not only had a considerable depth, but also divided heavy arrows, feather arrows and small crossbow arrows into different levels for long-range attack and close defense. In addition, it also had two unfolded wings for cover and maneuver...
…
It's just that this arrow array requires at least 500 people to be fully deployed, so now he is eager to expand it.
"I said I don't care. You choose the person anyway. If you can't manage me well in the future, don't follow me..." Before Xiao Chen could finish his words, he suddenly saw eight or nine flying out of a small forest in front of him.
A red figure!
They were surrounded all around, and you could see clearly in the sunlight that they were all big shiny bald heads. The leading bald man was none other than Old Bald Donkey She'etu!
