In the evening, Meng Hao called over four captains, including Su Ce. Liquor was prohibited in the military camp and no alcohol was allowed, but it was still okay to have a full meal.
No one came empty-handed, except for Su Ce. These captains were all four or five years older than Su Ce. The ranks they had earned, and Su Ce's honorary rank from the sixth rank was invisibly higher than the others.
, but strength in the military comes first.
On the one hand, Su Ce has strength and class. On the other hand, Su Ce is sweet-mouthed but not arrogant. He got along well with the captains in the past few days.
Of course, Su Ce came empty-handed, as he was a rough guy in the army, so the heavy responsibility of making dinner was left to Su Ce.
There was a military pot on the big fire, with meat, vegetables, and beans stewed in random directions. Su Ce poured half of the bamboo tube into the seasoning prepared by Su Ce, and the aroma suddenly started to spread.
"Captain Su, can you give me this recipe for the seasoning? It's not free, it's ten thousand dollars." Captain Zhang, the oldest, asked a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, it's just a recipe for seasoning. No matter the money, it's all military uniforms. Just saying this will make you angry!" Su Ce said very politely. For Su Ce, it was just a simple combination of a few spices.
A smile appeared on Captain Zhang's face, and he patted Su Ce on the shoulder: "Haha, Captain Su is so grand. Zhang is not talented. He worked hard for seven or eight years before he got his current position. He simply knows a lot of people."
, if Captain Su encounters something in the future, he will come to see me, Lao Zhang. I can’t help you much, but I can give you my instructions even if I am a little helper.”
Lieutenant generals, lieutenants, lieutenants, etc. were not born through fighting, and they were transformed from soldiers to officers, so no one has any real ability.
"Haha, thank you so much, Brother Zhang!" Su Ce knew that Captain Zhang did not come out of hard work.
Lieutenant Zhang had a life-saving grace for Li Hongtao, the son of the military guard Li Sizhe, who was now Li Hongtao's general. He was still Li Hongtao's former commander.
The relationship between the military and the military is complicated, with strict military discipline and the supervision of the Golden Armor Army, which is composed of children of the royal family. There are some things to exclude dissidents in the army, but there are not many.
However, Su Ce's purpose in making friends with these people was very simple. No one wanted to leave the friendly troops on both sides behind in the military formation.
Su Ce agreed readily, and others only thought that Su Ce was magnanimous in his dealings. As long as he made friends with such people, no one would stupidly suppress them. At this stage, there is no life-and-death competition for them, so everyone can rely on their abilities.
After eating the delicious dinner, everyone chatted about interesting things about the border. With Su Ce's help, the conversation gradually deepened.
"Well, I always feel uneasy these days!" A captain named Li sighed and stopped talking after he finished speaking.
As soon as the words fell, everyone stopped talking about anything else. Some people have terrible instincts, and this Captain Li is like this. He doesn't ask for credit, he just wants his people to be alive.
Although he appears to be cowardly in the army, cowardice does not mean incompetence. In the battle on the north bank of the Wuding River last year, the first one to rush into Jiuhu's weak point was a group of regular soldiers led by him.
This ability to predict danger and keen intuition about situations is not something everyone has.
The atmosphere became serious.
"Everyone knows who I am, Lao Li. When an arrow is shot over, Lao Li's head will bow by itself. It's crazy. Every time Lao Li is frightened, something big always happens. I still remember the military report from three days ago.
Really?" Lieutenant Li paused to give everyone time to recall.
"In the middle of August, Lieutenant Chang led a thousand infantry troops to encounter six hundred and nine barbarians. After a fierce battle for half a day, he killed two hundred enemies and suffered more than a hundred losses."
"These Jiuhu are all wearing half-length mirror armor, a giant shield, a short sword, and a white face with blue eyes."
"Is this the new Jiuhu rumored these days?" Su Ce asked.
"As we all know, the Jiuhu is actually not much different from our Dagan people. They have light-colored eyes, slightly white skin, and curly hair tendrils. The military report mentioned is most likely a Jiuhu that we have never encountered." Captain Zhang Answered Su Ce's question.
Da Gan is unparalleled in military equipment. Usually when Da Gan fights Jiu Hu, the battle losses are 1:3 in the first battle, 1:5 in the middle battle, and 1:10 in the second battle.
With inferior troops, Dagan lost one man and Jiuhu lost three.
However, according to the military report this time, more troops were used to defeat fewer troops, and the battle losses were close to one to one. Either Captain Chang had improper command, or the strength of the new Jiuhu was truly terrifying.
With 60% armor, the power of Daqian, who is unparalleled in military formation, is undoubtedly a creed engraved in the bones of Daqian soldiers.
However, this military report inadvertently shattered the pride of Daqian soldiers.
"I'm afraid the command was improper. I heard that Lieutenant Chang resigned and joined the baggage corps." Meng Hao changed the topic when he saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The dinner ended soon, everyone left worriedly, and Su Ce returned to his tent.
Tossing and turning, the words of Lieutenant Li were all in my mind. This is a personal essence. What is frightening and evil? This is hiding clumsiness. All warnings are based on keen intuition and analysis of the situation.
This matter is not simple. How can a battle report with less than a thousand people be circulated to the entire army?
Su Ce stood up, lit the oil lamp, and took the military report from three days ago.
Half-length mirror armor, giant shield, short sword, white-faced basket pupils.
Infantry battles are all about the collision of military formations. The strength of the Jiuhu people is not inferior to that of Dagan, but the difference lies in the military formations.
Only Fu soldiers like Da Gan, who are based on Fu soldiers and spend two years carving the basic military formations in their bones, can become chess pieces in the hands of generals, because only an army with professional soldiers like Da Gan can play complex military orders. The slip.
And now this new Jiuhu suddenly appeared, with the same large armor, giant shield, and short sword, which shows that this force has its own arms production.
The military formation can go head-to-head with Da Gan, which shows that the army is well-trained.
The Han people also had large armors, but they were replaced by armors that were more flexible, lighter, and had the same defensive power.
Su Ce stared at the words in the military newspaper, and suddenly an idea flashed across his mind.
This is not Jiuhu, but a country that Daqian has never encountered before. This country comes from the north.
Only the state has the organizational capacity to standardize military weapons.
Thinking of this, Su Ce's heart became heavy. Facing the Jiuhu, the tribalized Jiuhu power could not be concentrated at all, so Daqian could suppress millions of Jiuhu with an army of 200,000.
But now there is an existence suspected of being a country. Once this existence integrates Jiuhu, it will be tantamount to a disaster for the unprepared Daqian.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Now a strange enemy has appeared, and it is possible that Jiuhu has obtained information about Daqian.
And Daqian still only has a partial understanding of it. Facing such an enemy, whether he wants to fight or not, then all the efforts of the Anbei Army over the years will most likely collapse.
Su Ce spread out the paper, sharpened his ink, picked up a pen, and wrote down all his inferences on the paper. During the writing process, the more Su Ce thought about it, the more frightened he became. The army marching north collapsed, and all the elite Wudinghe troops were in the north. Enter the army.
If the North Bank is just a large army, then it can be retreated if the situation is not right, but don't forget that there are 1.5 million refugees and civilians also on the North Bank.
After writing the letter, Su Ce knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the tent and went to find the captains who were having dinner.
