The gate of the city was crowded with chaotic refugees, and the city guards blocked the gate. There were many spears, and the spearheads flashed with a cold light, pointing at the refugees standing facing the city.
Sweat mixed with yellow sand washed down Fatty Zhao's face, leaving streaks of mud marks. His voice became hoarse when he looked at the black mass of refugees.
"Su Ping, what should we do? There are so many people. What if they really want to rush into the battle?"
"Just stop it"
Su Ping said disapprovingly, standing behind a group of guards, unobtrusive, with slightly lowered eyelids, silently practicing his skills.
The Golden Armor Body Protection Kung Fu comes with a few inner kung fu formulas. Su Ping practices the kung fu in his spare time. If he wants to practice his inner breath and become an invincible general, he will definitely not be able to do it if his force is not strong enough.
The refugees were getting more and more restless. They had trekked from Suoziburg. They were already thirsty and hungry. They wanted to go into the city to rest, but naturally they didn't want to bask in the sun outside the city.
"Why aren't we allowed to enter the city? We have official guides and civilian protection. Why aren't we allowed to enter the city? Enter the city. I want to enter the city."
"I want to go to town"
"Going to town"
The refugees became restless.
Fatty Zhao was anxious: "Su Ping, look, people are about to rush up."
The gun-wielding Guardsmen of Brigade A remained motionless and allowed the refugees to walk over. The guns in their hands remained motionless and still pointed forward.
After experiencing two bandit suppressions in Taohuashan and Yiniugou, their hands were stained with bloody fighting, and their killing hands were already stable. In addition, they had also formed the habit of waiting for the brigade commander and team leader's orders from the team training in the past few days.
Order.
"Bold"
A hoarse and sharp scolding voice sounded at the city gate.
He Wu took the first step and walked out of the city sideways. He Wu turned sideways and faced Li Qing.
The sun was scorching, the heat wave was rolling, and the sand and dust in the air stuck to people's faces, making the smell of anxiety even stronger.
Li Qing was wearing a purple general's regular robe, and his unclear eyebrows had a hint of anxiety. With so many refugees, if one of them was not handled properly, something big would happen.
"Magistrate Tang, you are the parent official, please pass on the matter."
Li Qing couldn't help but have a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Magistrate Tang wiped the sweat and cement from his forehead, raised his voice and said:
"Dear fellow villagers, I am the magistrate of this county. I do not allow everyone to enter the city for the sake of everyone's safety. There are Thule spies among you. These aliens are dirty and have stayed in crowded places for a long time.
It will cause disaster."
"You follow the arrangements of the guards. After the screening is completed, you will naturally be let into the city."
"I know everyone is hungry, so I will order people to bury pots to cook rice and build temporary shelters. Please don't mess around and obey the orders of the guards."
There was food, and the clamor among the refugees soon subsided.
Growing up on the border, everyone has experienced several wars. Under the guidance of the police and guards, the city gate was quickly opened and settled down in the newly erected sheds. The able-bodied refugees also started to work.
Help the craftsmen with their work.
A shed for cooking porridge was also erected, a large pot was set up, the flames were blazing, and the water in the pot began to steam.
Li Qing's face became more solemn as he looked at the refugees who had settled down below the city.
"Magistrate Tang and Captain Su must quickly screen out the refugees and eliminate the Tule spies. If possible, let the refugees enter the city."
"Princess, no. If we let the refugees into the city, there will be so many people in the city all of a sudden. If there is a disturbance and the princess is hurt, I will not be able to explain to the Xuan Mansion or the imperial court."
Magistrate Tang clasped his hands and spoke firmly.
Su Lu was noncommittal. After reading Li Qing's battle report, Su Lu knew that it was only a matter of time before the Beizheng camp was broken. The moment Thule's army approached the city, these refugees had to enter the city.
Li Qing ignored Magistrate Tang. In the current situation, as long as Su Lu obeyed his orders, it didn't matter whether Magistrate Tang was present or not.
"Su Lu, you can replenish your troops. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. I see that there are many young and strong people among these refugees. You can organize it and expand the army by a battalion. I will write a letter about this matter.
"
Su Lu agreed loudly. A battalion of troops has two hundred soldier cards and one formation card. How can you disagree with such a good thing?
Magistrate Tang's expression changed. He could not see the battle report of the Guards, but as the princess of General Huaihua and the captain of the city patrol camp, Su Lu had such a serious look on his face. The war on the front line might not be optimistic.
"I am going to summon the big households to collect food and supplies, and the warriors from all over the country should also be summoned."
Li Qing nodded and signaled Magistrate Tang to go. This is his fiefdom, and it is his duty to protect the land. As long as it is successful, he cannot leave here easily.
Outside the city, Su Lu called Su Ping and Fatty Zhao.
"The general has agreed to expand one battalion. The two of you will choose some capable sergeants from the city patrol camp to form the second battalion of our city patrol camp."
The two were overjoyed when they heard this. They formed a new Battalion B. Naturally, there would be a new battalion captain and a new brigade commander. Fatty Zhao had wanted to be the brigade commander for a long time.
"Get the order"
"I'll go right away"
The two of them left in a hurry.
Su Lu turned around and went back to the patrol camp next to the city wall, and called over Li Kun and the others who were training.
"From today on, the training is suspended. Li Kun, from today on, you will be the commander of brigade A. Han Shang, you will be the commander of brigade B. The team is being supplemented by the team deputy."
As soon as Su Lu's voice fell, the expressions of everyone in the guard changed.
There are surprises, because this is the one who got promoted; there are disappointments, because it is not you who was promoted; there are confusions, what is the situation, why is he suddenly promoted, Han Shang is appointed brigade commander, what about the original Su Ping?
Su Lu did not explain and continued: "The general ordered that the city patrol battalion form the B battalion from today on. It will be responsible for the defense of Beiyang City while maintaining order among the refugees."
Everyone suddenly realized that they were refugees. In the morning, they saw more and more refugees at the city gate. It looked like another war was about to break out.
Li Kun considered his tone and said: "Captain, if Su Ping is transferred, our A battalion will have even fewer people. We can't just recruit soldiers from B battalion. Our A battalion also needs to recruit sergeants. The soldiers who died in the last battle at Yiniugou
The sergeant hasn’t made up for it yet.”
Su Lu nodded: "Tomorrow, you and Su Ping will take people to organize the training of young people among the refugees. You will train according to our queue. Firstly, you can recruit suitable sergeants. Secondly, you can also prevent these refugees from doing anything."
Use your time to cause trouble."
"The general will obey his orders"
Li Kun clasped his hands and responded loudly. The second brother was still the same second brother. When Su Ping was transferred to form the B Battalion, he would definitely let Su Ping serve as the captain of the B Battalion. There was an 80-90% chance that the captain of the A Battalion would be
It's my own.
Li Kun was heading out with a group of brigade commanders, and Su Lu also left the camp, ready to take a look at the secret books compiled by Su Yun.
Soldier cards can improve the quality of sergeants, and the degree of improvement is basically within a reasonable range. Through normal training, guardsmen can basically reach the improvement level of level 1 soldier cards.
The Thule annexed soldiers encountered in the Buffalo Valley last time. The bravery of a single annexed soldier should be good. The worse thing should be the coordination and cooperation. If the coordinated combat of the annexed soldiers can be improved, then the annexed soldiers will be 2
The benchmark for level-level weapon cards to be improved.
Su Lu believed that after training, it would be possible to improve the quality of the guards to the level of attached soldiers.
Inside the camp, Su Yun was sitting cross-legged, with a dozen different thread-bound books placed on the bed in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
Su Lu asked Su Yun curiously, if she didn't have the secret book given by Lao Chang, why was she still looking at the bulk goods seized from the bandit's den?
Su Yun smiled: "I want to try these different martial arts and see what effects they will have after practicing them."
