Wanli 1592

Chapter 5 Inspection of the Barracks
Due to the large number of rebels, and the number of soldiers in his hand is only 2000, the fighting power of the more than [-] civilians temporarily brought up is not as good as that of the air. After repelling Tu Wenxiu in the previous battle, Xiao Ruxun has abandoned all military strongholds outside the city, except for the moat. Apart from Juma and some barbed wire, there is no Ming army outside the city, and there is no organized Ming army in a radius of hundreds of miles. There is no other way but to stick to it and wait for help.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruxun did come from a family background and knew the importance of food. He usually controls the food very strictly. He assigned ten of the hundred veterans who he brought along with him from the old department of the Xiao family to take charge of the army granary in case of emergency. According to the book records, at this moment, the grain in the military grain warehouse is enough for the army and civilians in the city to use for four months.

Walking into the granary, Xiao Ruxun nodded slightly when he saw the piles of granaries as high as two or three people, but in an instant he remembered the tricks used by the grain officials in the past dynasties. It is the former Xiao Clan that I brought out to follow, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will see the money and deceive the superior and the inferior. If it is not discovered in time, I am afraid it will be bad. When an army fights, the most important thing is the military rations. If the military rations are lost, they will lose. undoubtedly.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Ruxun drew out his sword, pierced a small hole in one of the bags of grain, took a handful of corn, looked at it carefully, and smelled it, Xiao Ruxun was quite familiar with these crops, After all, after the apocalypse, all production materials need to be cultivated by themselves. After the apocalypse, Xiao Ruxun is no longer the college student who did not work hard and could not distinguish grains before the apocalypse.

Go under each grain storage one by one, left or right, up or down, and from time to time, use a sword to pierce the small opening, observe the color of the corn, smell the musty smell, and walk through each grain storage. It was only after they finally confirmed the authenticity of the food, if they could still cheat after such inspection, then Xiao Ruxun had nothing to say.

After encouraging the soldiers guarding the granary, Xiao Ruxun felt his physical condition, and came to the military camp in the west of the city again.

Pinglu City itself is a military city, and the first priority is to garrison the army. Most of the people in the city are military family members, and there are not many people. More than 500 soldiers, Xiao Ruxun can use this number of soldiers, and the remaining 500 soldiers were all killed in the previous battle.

With just one glance at the military camp from a distance, Xiao Ruxun knew that his cheap predecessor was more rigorous in running the army. From a distance, the military camp could give people a sense of chilling, with the flags fluttering, guards and patrol soldiers could be seen outside the military camp , there was the sound of horns and sergeants shouting, and it seemed that there was still training. There were some people carrying baskets and talking to some soldiers in dark red uniforms in the open space on the left side outside the barracks. It was probably relatives who came to express their condolences. Xiao Ruxun was very satisfied—how could the people be allowed to enter the important military camp?

In the survivor's base in the previous life, Xiao Ruxun led the self-defense team's number one rule was that relatives were not allowed to enter the barracks for visits. The barracks was a secret place, and anyone who trespassed would be executed.

Xiao Ruxun rode his horse forward, and the guards saw Xiao Ruxun in red suit and black armor riding his horse from a distance, and three or five people greeted him with weapons. When they saw Xiao Ruxun, they immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Sir See General!"

Xiao Ruxun motioned for his soldiers to help him get off the horse, covered the wound with his hands to prevent the wound from bursting, got off the horse and stood still, and said, "Get up! Take me inside."

Immediately, two soldiers ran to the gate of the camp, and then one soldier ran to the camp, and another soldier ran here, and bowed in front of Xiao Ruxun, "please, general!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and slowly entered the camp with his own soldiers. As he walked, he turned around and saw those soldiers who were chatting enthusiastically with their relatives. Inform the people in the city that the rebel army will come back to invade in a few days. Recently, the ban in the city has been strengthened. During non-wartime, only people can leave home during the day from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. , Punish it carefully, and never tolerate it. During wartime, you must close your home and leave, and those who go out will be punished carefully! In addition, from today until the end of the war, visits by military relatives are prohibited."

The soldier knelt down on one knee and shouted "No", then ran to the rear as if flying, mounted a fast horse and galloped somewhere.

Only then did Xiao Ruxun go to the barracks with peace of mind. He was familiar with these wartime regulations. They were not only useful, but also very necessary. In order to stabilize the army's morale, maintain combat power, and protect the people from harm, these regulations must be implemented, otherwise Xiao Ruxun How can we lead more than 8 people to survive in the last days when the law is invalid?

In the barracks, there are many barracks, most of which are made of wood. I think this is a resident barracks, so they are made of wood. The marching barracks are basically tents, only the fences are made of wood. There are lines of soldiers patrolling everywhere in the barracks. These are well-trained soldiers who know their duties. Xiao Ruxun is quite satisfied with the military quality of these troops.

After a while, three people who looked like generals in armor and cloaks came hand in hand. The man on the left was taller than the other two by a head, the man in the middle was a big man with a rough face and beard, and the man on the right was a fair-faced man. Young people, Xiao Ruxun knew that these should be the three generals in the army, one of them, Zhao Hu, was his deputy general, and the other two were Chen Xie and Wang Hui, who were his right-hand men in the army. Xiao Ruxun couldn't tell who was who.

The three of them stepped forward with excited faces, Xiao Ruxun smiled, and the three of them took a few steps closer, kneeling on one knee and clasping fists in salute: "The last general will see the general!"

"Please get up!" Xiao Ruxun raised his hand to help, and the three of them stood up, looking at Xiao Ruxun with excited faces, and the person in the middle had tears in their eyes, and said excitedly: "The general is fine, the last general can rest assured, The last general is incompetent, and he was stunned by the artillery fire of the bandit army, so that the general needs to lead the army to fight in person, the last general... the last general will be sentenced to death!!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, and the other two also knelt down to plead guilty, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly supported the big man, and said softly, "No!"

The tall general said: "If you want to blame this matter, you have to blame your subordinates. You can't blame Deputy General Zhao. If your subordinates failed to protect the general, the general would not..."

The young general on the right also said: "You can't blame Mr. Chen Qian, it is the subordinate's fault that he failed to lead the army to break through the enemy's formation in time, causing the general to fight alone!"

After this mutual confession, Xiao Ruxun finally figured out the identities of the three of them. The big man was his lieutenant general Zhao Hu, whose name was Bowei, the tall officer was Chen Xie, whose name was Yuande, and the young officer with a fair complexion was Wang. Hui, nicknamed Ziheng, and the three of them are all people with military exploits, who have followed him for two years and their record is not weak.

In the previous battle of Wenxiu, Zhao Hu took the lead in beheading 23 of the enemy's heads. He was unstoppable, but he was stunned by the aftermath of the enemy's firearms when he charged into the battle, so he could not achieve greater achievements; Chen Xie beheaded seventeen, and Wang Hui beheaded ten. Sixth, they are all brave generals, the type who dare to fight and fight hard. The previous Xiao Ruxun was able to lead troops well, and the generals under his command were available, which can be regarded as exempting the great worry of the current General Xiao.

The army is available, but in a battle, Xiao Ruxun is sure to defend the city.

"One of you three is exonerated for the other, so I will also exonerate you. This is all due to my greed and rashness. I don't want to see Tu Wenxiu leave alive. I don't blame you. You can prepare for war and settle down. The morale of the army is already the greatest achievement, although the bandit army is retreating now, it will surely come back, and there may be more enemy troops coming, so we have to be prepared and help each other in the same boat!"

Xiao Ruxun tapped the manuscript slightly, and opened his mouth to say something beautiful.

"The last general takes orders!"

The three replied in unison.

Then Xiao Ruxun walked around the barracks with the three of them, watching the barracks layout and asking some key questions.

"How many soldiers are there in our army now?"

"Return to General, 510 and [-] people can fight."

"Do you have all the weapons? Is there a shortage of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows?"

"The armaments are complete, the arsenal is intact, there are 17 bows and crossbows, and [-] arrows. These are the general's reserves for many years, and they will come in handy at this moment."

"What about firearms? How many firearms are there? How much gunpowder is there? How much did you spend in the previous battle?"

Xiao Ruxun asked the question that he was most concerned about. In the next battle of defending the city, the role of firearms is indispensable.

Zhao Hu and Chen Xie looked at Wang Hui, it seemed that Wang Hui was responsible for the firearms.

"Returning to the general, counting before the battle, our army has ten Ye Gongshen guns, ten second general guns, fifty Fran machine guns, [-] bird guns, more than six thousand catties of gunpowder and lead, and three-eyed guns. , Five Thunder God Machines, and a swarm of bees have not been counted. Before the First World War, the generals did not use them a lot. They only mobilized twenty Franc machine guns to assist in the battle, so there are still a lot of firearms available.”

Xiao Ruxun nodded. This small city of Pinglu has a lot of firearms and equipment, and the subsequent battle situation is somewhat certain, but the previous battle did not use a lot of firearms. What is the situation?
"only……"

Wang Hui hesitated to speak, but Xiao Ruxun was most afraid of this, so he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
