In the past few days, Zhang Yi was organizing the army according to the agreed strategy.
Now all the six commanders are in place, Lei Xiong and Dong Xuan each lead one troops with swords and shields, Liu Yin and Xu Hui each lead one troops with spears, and Shen Da and Lu Shun each lead one troops with crossbows.
Of course, there are only 600 crossbows now, and Shen Da and Lu Shun each have 300. As for the more than 100 cavalry, they are temporarily commanded by Zhang Yi himself.
Dong Xuan, Xu Hui, and Lu Shun were all the original commanders of the camp. Their military force, prestige, and merits convinced everyone, so there were few objections to their promotion this time.
Dong Xuan is twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. He is the nephew of Dong Huan, the commander of the army who was killed during the last barbarian attack on the city. The fact that this man was appointed as the commander of Qu was not entirely due to the legacy of connections left by Dong Huan.
Dong Xuan was good at using swords and guns, was brave in battle, and was at the forefront of the army in martial arts. However, he had a hot temper. However, after his uncle's death, his temper became somewhat restrained.
Xu Hui is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has been in the army for many years and has rich experience. He is also kind to others and cares about his soldiers. Therefore, this man has a high prestige in the army, so his promotion to Qu Commander this time is well received.
Lu Shun is about twenty-three or four years old this year. Although he is the youngest among the three, he has gone to school, is literate, and is proficient in writing. Therefore, the army has paid great attention to training him.
He was also very agile and proficient in archery, so Zhang Yi asked him to command the crossbowmen together with Shen Da, who was good at archery.
All three of them had reported to Yang Qing that they had been formally appointed, along with the eighty elite Chinese Army personnel.
Ji Han's county soldiers still adopted the 2-5 cyclical tribal military system. There were five troops, the second team was Shi, the Wu Shi was the team, the second team was the tun, the fifth tun was the song, and the second song was the department.
Therefore, a rough calculation of the two thousand new recruits requires the appointment of 20 camp commanders, 40 team leaders, 200 commanders, and 400 corps commanders.
After calculating in this way, Zhang Yi appointed the eighty elites as commanders, team leaders, and chiefs, and most of them were appointed team leaders. As for the remaining military attachés, some were appointed based on their talents among the veteran soldiers, while others were selected from the new soldiers through competition.
Wu Erlang Wu An was directly appointed as the chief after winning many competitions. If he had not mastered martial arts and only relied on his height and physical strength to compete, it would be impossible for the new recruits to achieve the highest military rank.
It's a pity that he was born in a poor family and was not trained by a famous teacher. He could not defeat the recruits who had practiced martial arts seriously with only a few country tricks he learned from nowhere.
However, as soon as he joined the army and took up a very long position, this still made Wu An extremely happy. What's more, he had made a lifelong commitment to Mrs. Pan, whom he had admired for a long time. The man saw the hope of life.
Although the wedding has not yet been held and they live together, the two of them live a normal life of food and accommodation as a couple. Others know that the two of them will become a family sooner or later, and they will not say much in this time of war and chaos.
However, Wu An still wrote a letter to his eldest brother, asking his family to move in and settle down. This would be safer and allow him to preside over the marriage and settle the matter early.
After all, since Governor Yang came to Anshang, Wu An felt that Qingtian was here.
Now not only can he have enough to eat, but he also has a future in the army. The future Xijun has also found a livelihood in the city. The days of being cold and hungry are no longer the past.
Pan is good at needlework, and she used to rely on this craft to earn a living, but since she came to Anshang, the people in the city have been too busy to take care of themselves, and she has not yet found a place to use her skills.
Fortunately, the government recently issued a notice to set up a textile workshop and recruit women from the refugees who can weave and make clothes to work. They can be given six liters of food per day. This made Pan not to hesitate after learning about this for the first day. I signed up hesitantly.
Although Wu An is now taking care of her, it is good to have one more person in the family to help, and Pan is also a strong woman. Now that the gift between the two has not been completed, she does not want to rely on Wu An to live now.
After more than ten days of busy work, An Shangguan finally roughly implemented the strategy formulated by Yang Qing of using work for relief and solving dilemmas.
Today, there are more than 10,000 refugees, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and children. Everyone has their own job. Those who work as coolies, those who know medicine, those who know blacksmithing, those who know textiles, etc. all have something to do.
Of course, there are also the more than two thousand young men who were recruited into the army, which suddenly brought order in Anshang City, and the power of tens of thousands of people was gradually released.
On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and sunny. The ten-day period agreed by Yang Qing and Zhang Ni had arrived. It was time to review the county soldiers. Yang Qing led a group of civil and military personnel from the county and county to arrive with great fanfare. military camp.
Five days ago, Zhang Yi and the others had completed organizing the generals, medium and large military positions, and after five days of preliminary drills, the 2,500 soldiers in the school field today could barely stand in line.
Of course, you don't have to think about practicing military formations. Most of these new recruits can still form a team as long as they don't move. As for why not all three thousand county soldiers gathered here, it was natural to leave some troops to defend the city.
The wind was a bit strong today, causing the Han army's war flags to whistle, and the soldiers standing in the school grounds couldn't help but look solemn.
With the sound of exciting drums, Yang Qing, wearing red rhinoceros leather armor and carrying the Qingyuan Sword at his waist, walked firmly onto the high platform, followed by Zhang Yi, Liu Yin, Wang Yi, Yang Xi and others. Civil and military officials.
When Gu Yi's soldiers saw that almost all the high officials in the city had arrived, they all held their breath and stood up as straight as possible.
Yang Qing's calm eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers one by one, and when he saw the nervous looks on their faces, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. It seemed that these new recruits were well selected, knowing that being nervous is better than having a playful smile and not caring.
Seeing that everything was ready, Zhang Yi leaned over and clasped his fists and shouted loudly to Yang Qing: "Master Qi, 2,500 troops from Yuexi County have been assembled. Please inspect them."
Yang Qing nodded and said loudly: "Let's get started."
"Follow the order."
After Zhang Yi received the order, he took the flag from the soldiers and waved it, and saw dozens of soldiers pushing more than a dozen frame carts to the bottom of the high platform. The soldiers lifted the black cloth on the carts, only to reveal a A pair of well-made Huanshou knives and a jib-hang crossbow. These are exactly the three hundred seventy-two-refined Huanshou knives and two hundred six-stone jib-hang crossbows that Yang Qing asked for from Pu Yuan.
These weapons had never been shown to anyone since Yang Qing took office, and when they were suddenly revealed, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
The new recruits in the audience are not yet aware of the advantages and disadvantages of these weapons, but the veterans in the school field know that the swords and crossbows on the cart are extraordinary just from their appearance.
There are also officials on the stage who have good memories and sharp eyes, and they have recognized that these large carts are the ones that Yang Qing brought when he took office. At that time, everyone was very curious and made many guesses, but they did not expect to see their true appearance today.
The leader of the escort vehicle looked at Zhang Ni inquiringly. He understood the meaning, waved and shouted: "Try the knife." The leader nodded when he heard this, picked up a ring-headed knife and pulled it out of its sheath. I saw that the sword was three feet long and shone with cold light.
The sergeant on the side took out a bamboo tube. He opened the lid and showed it to everyone. Everyone saw that it was filled with iron beads. After seeing everyone inspecting it, the sergeant put the bamboo tube on the ground and took out two identical bamboo tubes from the car. Place it next to the previous bamboo tube.
When the leading sergeant saw that the bamboo tube had been placed, he walked closer, shouted loudly, and slashed it with his knife. The bamboo tube and the iron beads were instantly separated.
He didn't stop, and slashed with two more swords in succession. The remaining two bamboo tubes filled with iron beads were immediately cut off as before. He raised the sword, and even under the sunlight, he couldn't find a single gap.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they all thought about sharp knives.
When Yang Qing saw that there was no sound in the arena, he couldn't help but smile to Wang Yi who was standing aside: "Wang Gongcao, what do you think of this sword?"
Wang Yi sighed: "Iron can be cut like clay, and it is really a precious sword." After saying that, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Master Fu, could these swords be made by Seventy-Two?"
After all, this man was well-informed, and he quickly reacted and guessed the quality of the three-hundred-kou ring first sword.
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Yes, these seventy-two-refined Huanshou swords were forged by Pu Yuan, a famous craftsman in Chengdu. They are extremely sharp."
After everyone heard this, they knew the origin of these knives. Most of the people present had heard of Pu Yuan's name. The knives made by such skilled craftsmen were really extraordinary.
Seeing that everyone had come to their senses, Yang Qing walked to the high platform with his head held high and said loudly: "Soldiers, you have all seen the sharpness of the sword. Do you know how much the three hundred-kou ring-headed sword was made?"
Before anyone could answer, he answered himself: "I tell you that these three hundred mouths are practiced seventy-two."
The soldiers were shocked when they heard this. Although most of them were new recruits, they had only been in the army for ten days. They knew that soldiers like me usually use a thirty-refined Huanshou Sword, and those with better treatment only have a forty-year-old sword. Refined.
The seventy-two-refined Naxu must be carefully prepared by craftsmen and tempered for a long time before it can be made into a sword. It is said that only a few elites in the Chinese army or the Dongwu border army who resisted Cao Wei had the opportunity to use this exquisite product. Unexpectedly, in this remote Yuexi, it is also possible to use it. I can see so many precious swords.
Everyone was extremely shocked, and heard Yang Qing shout: "The sword is a precious sword, and the crossbow is also a hard crossbow. These two hundred six-stone arm crossbows are also well-made, strong and durable. I ask you, these magic weapons." Do you want sharp weapons?"
Who is a hot-blooded man who doesn't love these magical weapons? The enthusiasm of all the soldiers has already been aroused. At this moment, when the eunuch asked questions, they all responded loudly: "Think, think, think."
"Okay, if you want, that's fine. But that's the only quantity. It's impossible for everyone to have one in each hand. Only heroes with extraordinary bravery are qualified to use magical weapons."
Yang Qing smiled and said: "I am the most fair officer. Now I can promise you that after one month, whichever of the four curved swords and spear soldiers performs best, the three hundred first swordsmen will be assigned to the soldiers of Naqu. The one with the best performance among the two crossbows will naturally be qualified to use these arm-loaded crossbows. Are you confident?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
All the soldiers were already highly motivated and fighting spirit, and they were all gearing up and shouting. Yang Qing was very pleased to see this, and couldn't help but smile and nod.
