Chapter 1363 Cavalry Invasion
The next day, at the urging of Deo, Zhao Hu and others arrived at the United Logistics Office early in the morning.
The logistics chief of the United Team seemed very generous this time and gave him sixty carriages full of supplies at once. Of course, he also clearly told Zhao Hu that all the supplies this year are here, and if you still want to replenish them, I will talk about them next year.
Zhao Hu didn't care whether this was hinting that he "don't come back this year" and directly took the excited Deo and the logistics soldiers to receive the supplies.
"Sir, I didn't expect the corps to be so generous! I gave 30,000 gold coins! After deducting the three months of military salary, there are nearly 16,000 gold coins in the brigade funds!" Dio said excitedly, but immediately remembered something and frowned and said, "Sir, this matter is a bit weird. According to common sense, funds are concentrated in the hands of the division to increase value, and only allocate wages and funds from each army every month. It is impossible to allocate a large amount of funds to subordinate troops at once. How could our fifth corps have so many..."
Before he could finish his words, Deo shut up.
He remembered the discovery of the gold mine in Kune Town. It seems that the Fifth Regiment has even more funds than the brigade? He just doesn’t know what method the Fifth Regiment used to hold the gold mine firmly in his hands and not be collected by it.
Zhao Hu did not care about these things, but instead asked: "How many weapons are there in the military uniforms in the food?"
A counted logistics chief said hurriedly: "Five hundred bags of grain, one thousand sets of military uniforms, machetes, sabers, spears, bows and arrow weapons, and three hundred sets of spare parts such as bowstrings, saddles, etc. If the food is not counted, these materials will be enough for our brigade to use until the end of the year."
Zhao Hu nodded with satisfaction. He didn't care about giving less food. After all, the five thousand bags of food he exchanged for horses was enough for a few years for the brigade.
When Zhao Hu led his team to leave the county town, the chief advised him to make decisions if he had anything to do this year, and don’t always come back to ask for instructions, and try to finish the year.
Hearing this, Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment.
Did the major say that the other officers in the brigade will not be out of the army this year at least? It seems that they will dig gold mines until the end of the year before they let go.
Seeing that his logistics officer came back with a large amount of supplies, the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade finally felt relieved. The team leader, who had some ideas, saw that Zhao Hu had received a large amount of supplies in less than a month. He knew that this guy was very considerate, so he had to touch his nose and urge the soldiers to train.
After Zhao Hu, who transported the supplies, he dispatched his personal guards and all the soldiers to recruit him on the same day.
"From tomorrow, one army will be left to cook for the entire brigade, and the other four army will follow them for combat training."
As soon as Zhao Hu said this, several sergeant commanders quickly jumped out to dissuade him: "Sir, it is impossible for five people to be responsible for the food of the entire brigade, because it is almost one person responsible for more than 120 people, and it cannot be completed from morning to night!"
The logistics soldiers immediately nodded with a hard face, asking them to work part-time military medical nurses as a combat force. I'm afraid they would be disbanded without fighting, otherwise what kind of logistics soldiers are they called?
"This is for your own good. When you go to the battlefield, the enemy will not care whether you are a logistics soldier or not, so you must have the ability to protect yourself. Although the five people are responsible for the food of the entire brigade and the workload is very large, you can make a large amount of rice balls and then cook a large bucket of soup, try to simplify the dishes, which should still be done." Zhao Hu said.
The logistics soldiers thought it was very reasonable in the previous words. In the past, they had no chains forging and went to the battlefield to die. Now someone trained themselves, which was very welcome, but when they heard it, they were stunned.
Rice balls and soup? If the five people work harder, they can still complete the entire brigade's appetite, but can those soldiers who are working hard to forge their chains bear these two things?
Zhou Wen, who already has the ability to cook, said: "We can pour the meat filling of poultry into rice balls, and the bones of poultry are boiled into soup, changing different types of poultry every day. I believe the soldiers can still accept it. Moreover, after the seven-day inspection results are released, we will add a meal to the entire brigade and let them have a big fish and meat meal. In this way, the soldiers should not have any objections."
Hearing this, the commander who originally wanted to object was not allowed to nod. He thought it was feasible.
But Deo asked, "If everyone eats extra, how can the winners reflect their identity?"
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "You can let them choose food and dishes at will, and then I will fix it myself. Wouldn't this highlight their identity as the winner?"
The three left-behind commanders immediately nodded in agreement: "The Zhou Wen Guard's method is good, and those soldiers will definitely be very satisfied. You don't know that the team leader has been running to the brigade headquarters these days to eat because Zhou Wen Guard's cooking skills are really superb."
Zhao Hu nodded to Zhou Wen with approval, and then said, "That's it. Dio, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie took turns to help the rotating logistics team, and Locke and Luo Fei followed the training throughout the whole process."
With the issuance of Zhao Hu's order, twenty-five teams began vigorous combat training.
During combat training, Zhao Hu easily established authority in the entire brigade. As long as no senior officer appeared, commanding this army was as easy as waving his own arms for him.
Of course, during this period, Zhao Hu also used the brigade funds to exchange a large amount of food, war horses, weapons, poultry, livestock and various equipment in the market. Of course, the soldiers' military pay was inevitably emptied by the merchant group in the market.
However, Zhao Hu was a little surprised that the war horses, food and weapons brought by the merchant group were more than once. What was even more strange was that they could complete the transaction, but this was not something Zhao Hu had the right to take care of, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Time passed slowly, the weather became colder and colder, the snowflakes began to fall slowly, and the year ended.
On the last night of 1737, the August Empire was completely in a state of joy. All parts of the country, whether it was the frontier, the imperial capital, whether it was the emperor, or the slave, were waiting for the arrival of the New Year.
The Fifth Brigade where Zhao Hu was located completely stopped its military activities on this day. Everyone got up at dawn and began to clean the barracks, clean the warehouses, scrub the equipment, and then decorate the festive things for the barracks.
After everything was done, everyone started to hygiene, shampoo, pick their hair, shave, and clean them all up. They changed into the brand new military uniform that they had just handed out and prepared to attend the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Then the soldiers also started working early. After hygiene, they would cook fire, kill cattle and pigs, and mercenary seats. They were busy and dizzy. Fortunately, they had been forging chains in the past few months, and twenty-five people made the New Year's Eve dinner of about 600 people extremely rich.
In the Ormante Empire, the New Year bells that bid farewell to the old and welcome the new year resounded throughout the empire. From emperors to slaves, they all congratulated the people around them on the arrival of the New Year.
In Kulong Town, Sishi County, Chengqiu County, Wenbei Province, Zhao Hu picked up his wine glass and shouted to the soldiers present: "Happy New Year everyone!"
The soldier also picked up the wine glass and shouted: "Happy New Year, Chief! Do it!"
They all raised their heads and drank them all.
After Zhao Hu sat down, the conversation ended like this. Everyone immediately toasted each other, played and joked with each other, and quickly made the joyful atmosphere hot, and some of the guys who were so obsessed with the ecstasy carnival.
Zhao Hu looked at all this with a smile while toasting to the person who came to toast.
His five personal guards, Zhou Wen, stayed beside Zhao Hu, poured wine and picked up food for him, while Sun Jie and Deo went down to make friends. As for Locke and Luo Fei, they were working hard to eat and drink.
At this festive moment, everyone's laughter suddenly became less and then completely still.
Everyone stared at the table shaking their own dishes.
What followed was a roar that made people feel depressed and vomited blood.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Hu's face suddenly turned ashen and he spoke a sentence with difficulty.
"Millions of cavalry!"
"Millions of cavalry!"
When everyone heard Zhao Hu's words, they jumped up in shock. A logistics commander holding a vegetable spoon muttered to himself with a dull eyes.
"Only hundreds of Feimu Banner Alliances can have such rural troops together. Could it be that all the herds and flag divisions of the entire Feimu Banner Alliance have been dispatched? How is this possible? Many herds and flags are enemies!"
No one doubted that the thundering sound of Zhao Hu's speculation was not something that tens of thousands of cavalry could have been sent out for several days.
Zhao Hu did not give his subordinates too much time to shock the millions of cavalry. He almost immediately ordered the people as they jumped up.
"Everyone is ready for battle!"
The team leaders immediately jumped up and shouted: "The team's subordinates immediately return to the camp to get ready!"
After shouting, they took the lead in running to the camp, quickly grabbed the weapons as soon as they rushed in, and then urgently urged their subordinates to speed up their actions.
Almost as the team leaders shouted, there was a storm, and the food, good wine, tables, chairs, stools, and tableware were all mercilessly fell to the ground.
The logistics soldiers who would definitely curse in such a thing before had no reaction at this time. Under the leadership of the sergeant commander, they ran into the brigade headquarters and grabbed the weapons that they were most familiar with during the training process.
The residents who remained in the town were also in chaos.
They realized that something was wrong, so they sorted out some valuable things, three groups and four groups rushed out of the town and fled toward the empire's hinterland.
Zhao Hu did not stop these people from escaping, but instead advised them to leave as soon as possible. After all, they had no combat power at all, and staying here would only drag down the army.
One of the cavalry's fastest-fitting team, led by the squad leader, quickly rushed out of the town and rushed towards the place where the muffled thunder came from in the distance.
Chapter completed!
