Chapter 236
Li Rui was going to the camp where he took office, but was a few miles away from the Zhongjun Dazhai. He was located on the top of the mountain, with sloping slopes on all sides, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack this camp, you either climb up the steep slope with a big shield with a big shield, or push forward step by step along the mountain road that was about to wind on the gentle slope. No matter which direction you attack, as long as the defenders make up their minds to defend, the casualties will eventually be severe.
However, no matter how strong the defense line is, someone must be willing to defend it, and it is determined to defend it to death. It can be considered solid. A line of defense that no one wants to defend is meaningless even if it is covered with steel fortresses. This is the case in front of you. Its position is dangerous enough and the camp is very strong, but...
There is no need to find a soldier who is willing to guard.
When he walked into the military camp, the three hundred soldiers in the camp had already lined up to wait. As Beigong Jing said, these were all the elite soldiers he carefully selected from the deserters who fled into the Xionger Mountain Camp. They had never used the old, weak, sick and disabled as a result. Each soldier was tall and strong. Most people had arrows and knife marks on their armor and helmets, and they were obviously crawling out of the pile of dead people. These were all elite soldiers, and they should have a bit of strong and vigorous spirit when they got together. However, they did not. All Li Rui saw in them was confusion, fear and despair. Li Rui had no doubts. As long as someone shouted "The enemy is coming", these hundreds of people would immediately explode the camp, running so hard that their heels hit the back of their heads, and they disappeared with a whoosh!
When Zhang Xiong saw these guys like this, he became angry and shouted angrily: "Why are you thrusting and holding your heads? Are you plague chickens? Bring me some energy!"
This guy may have practiced the unique skills such as the Vajra Lion Roar. When he roared out, he was like a bolt from the blue. The No. 300 soldier present trembled all over his body, subconsciously thrusting his chest, standing attentively, looking up at the front, and finally he looked a little soldier.
Zhang Xiong was still not satisfied, but he also knew that these guys had suffered too many defeats and had long been broken. It would be rare to expect the sow to climb up a tree, and it was already rare to see that the sows would be like this. He barely swallowed a series of three-character scriptures that were about to blurt out, pointed to Li Rui, and said, "This is the newly appointed Quhou, and you will be under his control in the future!"
The soldiers looked at each other and half knelt down to the ground and bowed: "See Quhou!"
Zhang Xiong handed a pack of heavy things to Li Rui and said, "Mr. Li Qu, the military affairs are busy, I have to go back quickly. I will hand over these three soldiers to you! There is your armor and seal here, please take it, don't lose it!"
Li Rui took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Chief Zhang Youtun, Chief Zhang Youtun, walk slowly!"
When chatting with Pei Wei last night, he learned from Pei Wei that the twenty black-armored swordsmen who were skilled in martial arts and killed Hu people like chopping melons and vegetables were all the generals of the Beigong family. They were trained since childhood. They were all very skilled in martial arts and were even more loyal to the Beigong family. Zhang Xiong was the leader of these generals. Beigong Chun saved Luoyang two times. For the first time, he defeated Wang Mi's 70,000 troops with one thousand elite soldiers. For the second time, he led more than a thousand people to attack the Hun army camp at night and killed the general Hu Yanhao. He participated in two almost suicide battles. There were really many Hu people who died in his hands. Therefore, Zhang Xiong was just the leader of the right treasury, and he was the Quhou, who was the superior family. But when he met, he had to salute Zhang Xiong and salute respectfully.
After seeing off Zhang Xiong, Li Ruizhong rushed to the veterans who were still holding their heads up, but the spirit of being held strong was obviously collapsed and said with a smile: "Well, let me introduce myself. My surname is Li and my name is Rui. I am the newly appointed Quhou. Please take care of you in the future!"
The soldiers shouted in unyieldingly: "See Quhou..."
The depressed voice made people feel discouraged. A irritable officer would probably be blown up on the spot. Even if he didn't kill someone, he would have to catch a few people to beat the military sticks, or even insert the arrows into the camp to cheer up the guys. However, Li Rui didn't care. He was a vague person who was a vague person. He never thought of making a fortune by leading troops. Naturally, he wouldn't care about the attitude of these Xiong soldiers. As long as these Xiong soldiers did not tie themselves up and betray him to the Hu people, he wouldn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone should get up... Let's see if you are weak, haven't eaten breakfast yet? Go and have breakfast quickly."
So easy to talk about?
Those Jin soldiers who had already made delicious killing sticks had never seen such an easy-to-talk officer, and were stunned for a moment.
Seeing that they were still moving, Li Rui frowned and said, "Why don't you move? Do you like to go hungry?"
Of course no one likes to go hungry. So, with a huh, hundreds of people ran away and all went to have a good meal. Really, soon, after a huh, the number of people about 300 disappeared. Li Rui was careless and did not flash, and he choked the dust of his mouth and nose!
There were also a few characters who were obviously officers who did not leave and stayed there to look at each other. Although they did not have any hope for their subordinates who could only be described as mobs, they still looked embarrassed when they saw those guys like bears!
Li Rui noticed them and asked, "Why haven't you been to have a meal yet?"
The officers bowed with fists and said, "Book Quhou, I've eaten it."
Li Rui was a little puzzled. The whole camp was just a few people, but they didn’t even have dinner together? What kind of plane is it? But it’s okay, he was just a newcomer and was not familiar with the place. There were several officers talking about it, which saved a lot of effort. So he smiled and said, “Oh, you guys are pretty early. By the way, I haven’t asked you yet to ask you for your honorary name. Can you introduce yourself?”
These officers quickly introduced themselves. After listening to their self-introduction, Li Rui realized that they had been organized. These officers were Xu Guo, the leader of Zuo Tun, Cao Hu, the leader of You Tun, Team A led Yang Yong, Team B led Yang Zhi, Team C led Zhou Lan, and Team D led Xiang Hong... There are six teams in total, and all the officers are here. These unlucky guys have participated in several battles, but almost every time they are beaten and lost. The experience of repeated defeats has exhausted their courage and confidence. They no longer dare to seek victory, but only to save their lives.
In the eyes of other generals, this kind of person is pure scum, and may even be said to be a black sheep. It must be cleaned up and used to establish his authority. However, for Li Rui, these escape experts are quite interested in him because they all have very rich experience in escape, which is exactly what he lacks. When he turns back, he has to ask them humbly and learn from their advanced experience, so that he can escape in time and save his life when the Hun army is rolling over the ground.
But that's all for the future. Now he has to solve the problem of weapons and equipment. He has not been exposed to ancient weapons before traveling through time, but he is really not very easy to use of these weapons from more than 1,800 years ago. Not to mention anything else, just the lack of stirrups when riding a horse and the horse's hooves are not nailed to the horse's feet, which is quite scary. These problems must be solved. If there are not even qualified weapons and equipment, how can he escape?
After chatting with the officers, he asked, "Everyone, can you take me to the armory? I want to count how much armor there is in the armory so that I can know what it is."
Team A led Yang Yong to volunteer and said: "The armory has always been under the control of the capital. Quhou, please follow the capital.
Come!"
Li Rui said: "Lead the way!"
Yang Zhi led the way in front, and a group of officers hugged Li Rui, passed through the soldiers who were eating half-dried and half-sparse rice, and walked into the armory where the ordnance was stored.
The armory is located in the center of the camp and covers a large area. For the sake of fire and moisture resistance, it is not built with wood like other buildings, but is made of blue bricks. The inside and outside of the wall is painted with a thick layer of lime sand. The ground rammed earth is as hard as iron. All the weapons are placed on the shelves to avoid contact with the ground. The moisture-proof work is done quite well.
———The Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties implemented the world military system, and many people served as soldiers for three generations. It can be said that as long as a man with good limbs and normal intelligence is good, he has to receive military training from the beginning of his ability to walk. He started to join the army at the age of sixteen to eighteen, and did not retire until his face was full of wrinkles. He also had to switch to logistics transportation. The world military system naturally has many disadvantages, but it also has advantages, that is, every soldier has a very high military literacy. After all, he has started training since he was a child. This is a team composed of temporary garrisons that can be far from comparable to. Not to mention, the management of the military warehouse alone can see how big the difference is. If it is an army composed of temporary garrisons, how can he be patient with these details and just put the weapons into the warehouse, place them in different categories, count the quantity, and do a good job in moisture and insect prevention? Haha, you are trying to force people!
There are actually not many weapons in the warehouse, only dozens of pairs of armor, some long soldiers such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, some bows and crossbows, and bunches of sharp arrows. Of course, it is not to say that these 300 people only have such a small possession, and every soldier in the battalion is fully equipped, and these are just their reserves... Well, judging from this number, they are indeed not abundant.
Li Rui also noticed that many weapons had traces of use, such as those crossbows, and there were still vague blood spots on the bow arms. Thinking back to the fierceness of the Liangzhou Army when cleaning the battlefield, Li Rui could guess how these weapons came about.
His eyes swept over the rows of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and landed on the rack where the crossbows were placed. He immediately ran over, picked up a powerful crossbow and asked, "What kind of crossbow is this?"
Yang Zhi replied: "Book of Quhou, this is a big yellow crossbow. There are 80 big yellow crossbows in this village, all of which are here."
