On the way to the prisoner-of-war camp, Luo Zhixue said earnestly to the seven cavalrymen under his command:

"The Wo Baoxiang Battalion continues to expand. In the past three months, the Wo Baoxiang Battalion has recruited nearly 400 new soldiers, and recruitment is still ongoing. Although the recruitment and expansion are now mainly infantry and artillery, the cavalry

The recruitment and expansion of the army will also be carried out simultaneously, and now the selection of cavalry auxiliaries is the first step."

"Now you are each a corps commander, and when there are more cavalry auxiliaries in the future, you will naturally become the cavalry commander and the captain."

"I hope you will keep up with our pace of military expansion and not fall behind."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Anyongduo directly patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, sir, we will keep up with the pace of expansion and will never fall behind, let alone miss your job."

An Yongduo and the other four people were like this, and the three gunners transferred from the artillery team were even more active.

One by one, they said that they would keep up with Mr. Wang and never fall behind.

In fact, these three gunners were not willing to be gunners at all. After all, they were serious cavalrymen. Just because they had played with some bowl-mouth cannons in the past, they were found by Sun Chengli and assigned to the artillery team of the supply camp under Luo Zhixue.

Become an artilleryman...

Now Luo Zhixue has allowed them to resume their status as cavalrymen and become cavalry corps commanders. He also promised them a bright future, and all of them are excited.

Of course, Luo Zhixue also asked these three gunners to continue to help train the gunners, and they were regarded as gunner instructors.

But it's just a show. After all, they themselves are half-baked. They have exhausted all their knowledge in the past period. In fact, there is nothing to teach the artillery recruits in the future. It is better to let the artillery recruits

Under the guidance of Luo Zhixue, I will explore on my own.

Luo Zhixue led a group of people towards the prisoner-of-war camp, but the prisoner-of-war camp had already received instructions in advance and had gathered the old thieves.

Luo Zhixue looked at the nearly a hundred people standing in the open space and looked at them carefully.

After these people became prisoners of war, their treatment was slightly better in the first few days because they had been hungry for many days. In order to prevent them from dying directly, but after their initial recovery, their various

The treatment is the same as that of the original prisoners of war. They don't eat much every day and have to work hard.

These people thought that they would be like the prisoners of war who were transported here, living in darkness every day, and eventually dying of exhaustion.

Luo Zhixue appears!

When they heard that Luo Zhixue was planning to select some of them as auxiliary soldiers, and mentioned that once they were selected as auxiliary soldiers, they would become a member of the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang Battalion and become a member of Luo Zhixue's personal army.

When the food supply was compared to that of the infantry, everyone had different reactions.

Some have expectations in their eyes, some have numb faces, and some have disdain.

Regarding this, Luo Zhixue would not question or talk to them one by one.

Instead, he directly outlined the selection criteria: being able to ride a horse and being good at shooting are even better!

These people are indeed old thieves. When An Yongda shouted and the good riders came out, more than seventy people stood up.

Yes, they are all old thieves. Even if they were not formerly cavalrymen, they should have learned how to ride horses during their many years as thieves.

Then Anyongduo shouted again: Those who are good at riding and shooting will come out!

At this time, there were far fewer people who came forward, only about a dozen people came forward.

Being able to ride a horse and being able to bend a bow and shoot an arrow on horseback are completely different concepts in terms of difficulty and require long-term training.

Luo Zhixue is already very satisfied that more than ten people can come out.

At this time, Luo Zhixue stepped forward and said: "My personal army is short of elites. Are you willing to serve for me?"

This is actually all nonsense. Luo Zhixue has made it clear before that this is for recruiting soldiers. If he is not willing to serve Luo Zhixue, then naturally he will not take the initiative to stand up.

As for whether they have other thoughts in their hearts, such as running away in the future.

There's no way to control this. After all, you know people but don't know their hearts. Luo Zhixue can't confirm whether they are sincerely loyal.

But it's still not important.

These days, whether they follow Tianhu to become bandits, follow Luo Zhixue to become rebels, or join the army, what are they doing?

But there are not so many messy reasons. They just want to make a living.

As long as Luo Zhixue doesn't treat them harshly and has enough food to keep them fed, they don't mind fighting for Luo Zhixue!

Therefore, after hearing Luo Zhixue's words, the more than ten veteran thieves who were good at riding and shooting started to say things like "I am willing" one after another.

Seeing this, Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "Good!"

Although I found more than a dozen old thieves who were good at mounted archery, they were still short of the full complement of seven cavalrymen. I immediately selected a few people who could ride horses. Although they could not shoot arrows on horseback, they could use them.

Did the infantrymen or old thieves who were good at melee join in, and twenty-eight people were made up?

After selecting the people, Luo Zhixue did not delay and directly divided the twenty-eight people into groups of four, and asked An Yongduo and others to lead four people each.

In this way, on the surface, seven cavalry corps were formed. In order to facilitate command, Luo Zhixue directly changed the seven cavalry corps into three cavalry corps.

An Yongduo is still the captain of the Guards and concurrently serves as the commander of the first corps.

The three very strong cavalrymen are Zhao Hongshu, Ma Dapao, and Ding Chuwu. At the same time, the three of them also serve as corps commanders.

There are three more corps commanders, three cavalrymen from the artillery corps.

In this way, a thirty-five-man guard team composed entirely of cavalry was established.

But if you want them to display their combat effectiveness, they must continue training.

As for horses and sword equipment, they also need to be solved.

However, they already have swords and spears in stock, as well as ordinary bows and arrows, but riding a bow is more troublesome. They don't have much stock, and they have to figure out a way later.

War horses can also be scraped together. When they escaped before, all the baggage was carried directly by mules and horses. Therefore, there are actually many mules and horses in the army, and many of them can be selected and used as riding horses.<

/p>

After finalizing the cavalry, which was called the Guards but actually turned into a cavalry, Luo Zhixue asked An Yongduo and the others to take these people into training immediately to familiarize themselves with the cooperation.

But he continued to be busy. He still had to choose new captains and commanders for the infantry team and artillery team in the baggage camp.

To this end, Luo Zhixue conducted a comprehensive consideration of the existing specialties and corps commanders in the supply camp, and prepared to select a number of new specialties from them.

At the same time, we are also preparing to select a few people to serve as captains.

The current military system of the supply camp is very simple. It basically imitates the camp and sentry system of the official army. After all, they were originally mutinous officers and soldiers, so they are naturally familiar with the same routine of the official army, and the establishment of the official army may be different in each department.

Differences, but similar.

At present, the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang Camp adopts the most common camp sentry system, that is, there are five people in the team, two teams are the teams, three teams are the teams, three teams are the sentries, five sentries are the general, and five generals are the camp.<

/p>

For the time being, whether it is infantry, cavalry or artillery, Luo Zhixue has not had time to temporarily unify the organization, and it is not easy to create other types of organizations for a while, so he can only continue to use the existing organization.

However, the scale of each department of the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang Camp is very small, far from the level of a general headquarters or a battalion. There are even no formal sentries or even team establishments. Basically, they are all under the direct control of the big boss.
p>

At present, this is the supply camp with the most infantry. Previously, there were nine or even one twenty-man artillery team directly under Luo Zhixue, but the previous artillery team did not have a captain.

This is mainly due to the fact that there are too few troops, and most of the soldiers were recruited after the autumn harvest. Luo Zhixue has not yet had time to establish a first-level team establishment.

Now, Luo Zhixue plans to do it all at once.

This time, he will set up three infantry teams and an artillery team in addition to the personal troops.

This means that three infantry team captains and one artillery team captain need to be selected.

At the same time, it is necessary to select a few more professionals to fill the vacancies.

After detailed inspection, Luo Zhixue finally selected four people to serve as captains of each team.

The captains of the three infantry teams are Huang Chengyong, Huang Dingquan, and Li Duo, and the captain of the artillery team is Zhang Malin.

The names of these four people were actually given to them by Luo Zhixue himself, because when they were recruited as soldiers, they came from poor families and didn’t even have a name. They were all Agou Amao Dalang Erlang and Sanwazi.

The name of the class.

Therefore, when these people were selected for registration, Luo Zhixue conveniently gave each of them a name. Because there were dozens or hundreds of names at that time, Luo Zhixue naturally didn't pay much attention to the names, and they were all casual.

Taken.

The four newly elected captains were all the first batch of recruits, including Huang Sangou, who was the first to stand up and surrender to the thieves, no, to the army.

Of course, he is no longer called Huang Sangou, but Huang Chengyong, which is also the name given to him by Luo Zhixue.

In addition to joining the army early, these four people also have one thing in common, that is, they can do whatever Luo Zhixue asks them to do without any doubts or refusals.

When Luo Zhixue selects soldiers, he basically only selects people who are honest and do their duty.

When subsequent promotions to corps commanders, chief officers, and others are made, those who are more resolute in executing orders will be selected.

In the previous training process, Luo Zhixue often issued some seemingly ridiculous orders to test the soldiers' obedience. During this process, anyone who showed hesitation and compromised in execution was basically given a cross in Luo Zhixue's heart.

, when they are promoted later, they will basically have no chance.

After all, Luo Zhixue's biggest requirement for officers is to obey and resolutely execute orders, no matter how absurd the order is.

As long as you can achieve this, even if you are less capable, in Luo Zhixue's eyes, you are a good captain, very talented.

After all, if you don’t have the ability, you can learn later, and if you don’t have the experience, you can accumulate it slowly.

But if your character is not good enough, there is really nothing you can do.

When Luo Zhixue was preparing for war in Sanshui Village to meet the possible attack of officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers outside the mountain did not keep Luo Zhixue waiting. Just five days later, Xuhe from the direction of Wuliguan sent a messenger to inform him that a group of about 200 officers and soldiers started from the outside of Funiu Mountain and penetrated deep into Funiu Mountain.

According to the itinerary of this team of officers and soldiers, they can reach the hinterland of Funiu Mountain in just a few days.
