The new deputy commander is very knowledgeable, and there is a hint of cunning in his slickness. There is no sense of incompatibility between him and Caesar.
Of course, the 20,000 soldiers are not in Shadu. It is impossible for Uno to hand over the elite troops guarding Shadu. What Uno handed over were some of the soldiers stationed on the west side of Shadu. They were not logistics troops, nor were they old, weak, sick or disabled. They were new recruits.
No, it was a defeated army, a defeated army that had just retreated from the front line.
Uno could not hand over the logistics troops, the old, the weak, the sick, and the new recruits. The Tsar was not a decoration, and Uno did not dare to go too far.
This defeated army reached Uno's mouth and became the elite of the front line. They temporarily retired to recuperate, but a defeated army was a defeated army, and one can imagine the low morale.
When Su Xiao arrived in the west of the city, a large number of tents came into view. There were soldiers standing or sitting in the tents. They were more or less decadent, and most of them had a faint smell of blood. This was caused by injuries.
Under their light armor, their bodies were covered with scars and wrapped in white cloth.
"gather!"
The new deputy commander-in-chief, Osho, shouted, took off the horn from his waist, and blew the horn with all his strength. The sound was neither long nor rich, nor did it have the sense of a battle about to begin. It was just like a loud and long sound.
The stuffy fart.
Hearing the sound of the horn, all the soldiers in the tent tensed up, then relaxed, and stood up slowly.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the soldiers gathered in a nearby open space. They were divided into twenty squares, each with a thousand people, standing in a crooked posture.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the new deputy commander Os felt chilled. With such a force, let alone attack the city of Segona, they might be wiped out by the Kingdom of Peru's 'Ram Cavalry' as soon as they arrived at the front line. At most two
If you charge, the battle line will disperse.
Oss is different from the previous deputy commander. He has been on the battlefield and crawled out from the dead. His biggest mistake was that the flattery went wrong and hit the dog's balls. The dog didn't bite him to death because of him.
Many achievements.
"Sir, I suggest you rest for a day before rushing to the front line."
Oss is actually saying in a subtle way that he should first win over people's hearts and gather morale, and then consider going to the front line.
"Baha, how's it going with Caesar?"
"It should be almost done."
"Leave in half an hour."
As Su Xiao spoke, she turned her gaze to Deputy Commander Os. Os's lips opened and closed, and finally he nodded and smiled. His sharp edge had been smoothed by the cruel reality, and he was no longer the same man holding a scimitar and holding up an enemy general.
With his head roaring, Heisiburg Ost died, his body began to gain weight, and his fighting spirit was gone.
There are six general commanders in Sha Yan Kingdom, and now there are seven including Su Xiao. Except for the adjutant, the general commander is the military commander, who can command up to 50,000 soldiers, and the military commander is the division commander.
In charge of 10,000 soldiers, the order is as follows:
General commander (300,000 soldiers) → 6 military commanders (each military commander commands 50,000 soldiers) → 30 divisional commanders (each divisional commander commands 10,000 soldiers).
Under the Chief of Guards, there are also Chiefs of Thousands of Guards, Chiefs of Hundreds of Guards, and even Chiefs of Ten Guards. There are many low-level officers like these.
In this era of backward communication, once the war starts and the soldiers from both sides fight into a group, it is best to form a small unit of ten people. After the fighting becomes fierce, the ten guard captains can't find where their subordinates are.
.
If Su Xiao has 300,000 soldiers, plus the commander of the army who is on the front line and commands 50,000 soldiers, he can be canonized. As for the commander of a thousand soldiers or the commander of a hundred soldiers, it is just a matter of casual words.
However, these official positions cannot be conferred too casually. When the army under his command is formed, this is the best bargaining chip to win people's hearts. For Su Xiao, the cost is very low, but for the soldiers, it is a life-changing event. A higher status means more
With more salary, their wives and children can live a better quality of life.
It took a full hour for the soldiers to put away all the tents. Most of these tents had holes and were brought back from the front line.
Hundreds of white-horned beasts were put on rope saddles to pull exaggeratedly large wooden carts. The white-horned beasts look similar to rhinos, but are many times larger. They have a gentle temperament and great endurance, making them excellent for carrying supplies.
choose.
Deputy Commander Os was at the front of the queue, with soldiers lining up behind him, more than a hundred white-horned beasts in the middle, and soldiers behind him.
If you look at it from above, the soldiers are moving forward like a long, winding dragon.
Su Xiao sat on the thick cloth tent that had been tied up. Now is not the time. Caesar's side will have at least one morning before they can leave Shadu. When Caesar's side has taken care of it, it will be time to stabilize people's hearts.
There were no supplies of any kind, and no gold coins were sent before leaving. Under the current situation, let alone fighting on the front line, 20,000 soldiers would be hungry after a day's march.
The purchasing power of gold coins is amazing. It is the currency with the largest denomination. When Su Xiao escorted the caravan across the desert, he only received 28 gold coins as a reward. You must know that he was escorting as a holy soul. Ordinary holy souls travel through the desert, but
Take the risk of losing your life.
4 gold coins are enough to open a small restaurant, and 30 gold coins are enough for a civilian to live a prosperous second half of his life. If a soldier dies in battle, the Shayan Kingdom's pension will be 37 gold coins.
After two hours of marching, the army's formation became even more chaotic, and some soldiers even started talking and laughing with each other. According to the current momentum, as long as they reached the front line and fought with the enemy, they would be defeated in a matter of minutes.
"Stop marching."
Su Xiao's orders were conveyed layer by layer, and after a while, the marching queue stopped.
"Sir, what do we want?"
Deputy Commander Aos spoke at the right time. The last deputy commander died tragically, how dare he be dishonest.
"Pitch the tent and make repairs on the spot."
"yes."
After Ao Si passed on the order, the soldiers began to talk in confusion. They couldn't understand why the march stopped after only two hours.
Su Xiao is waiting for Caesar and Bubu Wang. If things go well with them, the plan can continue.
Although the soldiers did not agree with Su Xiao, the commander-in-chief, they still built a very spacious tent, which was fully equipped with tables, chairs, beds, and even cactus fruits on the low table.
Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed in the camp, holding a tablet in her hand, playing the puzzle game. Now she just had to wait.
Caesar and Bubu Wang did not let Su Xiao wait for too long. Five hours later, a large group of workers came from a distance leading white-horned beasts. Conservative estimates put the number of white-horned beasts at more than two hundred.
All kinds of substances.
White-horned beasts do not need to cost gold coins. They are obtained at the military supply department. As the general, Su Xiao has a staff of 300,000 people. When it comes to acquiring more than 200 white-horned beasts, neither Uno nor Carlos can choose one.
question.
The army controlled by Su Xiao currently has 20,000 soldiers, 316 white-horned beasts, supplies, and 310,000 gold coins.
Where did the substance pulled by the white-horned beast and the 310,000 gold coins come from? The answer is the "friendly sponsorship" of the great priest Uno, but the other party didn't know it yet. Bubuwang went to the vault at the other party's home and got a total of 8
Thousands of gold coins, as well as countless treasures of all kinds.
The reason why Caesar and Boubouwang arrived now was to sell the stolen goods, no, they went to the cities near Shadu to sell the treasures they had obtained, and then to purchase 31, and to entrust the Tsar Emperor to do one thing, just to hand it over to the Tsar Emperor
There are as many as 352,800 gold coins in hand.
These gold coins are used to stabilize the morale of the military. It is impossible for the Tsar to take these gold coins as his own. Once he does so, some things will become a dark history that cannot be covered up after they are announced. That matter was to deduct the salaries of the soldiers' families!
That's right, Su Xiao entrusted the Tsar Emperor to distribute the 352,800 gold coins to the family members of each soldier or officer according to their official positions. Those who have no family members will be distributed uniformly during the next repair.
In addition to these gold coins, Su Xiao also spent nearly 70,000 gold coins to purchase various materials. It has to be said that the Tsar Emperor's confidant Chisha helped a lot. Without his help to open up relationships, it would have taken at least 1~
3 days.
Everything is ready, the army continues to march, and the next stop is near Anji City.
The sky was filled with yellow sand, and when the sky was getting dark, Su Xiao saw the towering city wall from a distance, and Anji City had arrived.
As soon as they arrived near Anji City, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the city, as well as a middle-aged man wearing black and gold clothes. This was the consul of Anji City, the manager of the city.
Deputy Commander Os immediately brought more than a hundred soldiers forward to negotiate. Not long after, Os and the governor of Anki City hugged each other and talked in low voices with smiles on their faces.
After seeing off the governor of Anki City, Aos hurried back.
"Sir, Aikamai agrees that we enter the city, but we must camp outside the city. The soldiers can enter Anki City, but they cannot cause panic among the civilians."
"Well, let the soldiers gather in two hours and find 50, no, 300 people, and stand by near my camp."
"yes."
Aos went down to deliver the order, and the soldiers began to set up camp again. They repaired it twice in just one day, and the morale of the army was even more broken.
Su Xiao has a lot to do, and he has to finish it all tonight. When he finishes it, the 20,000 soldiers will not only become elites, but at least they will be willing to help him sacrifice their lives.
