There are more than a dozen large pots simmering braised pork.
The barrel is filled with rice.
The regiment training, guard soldiers, strong men and all military households, regardless of adults, children, or the elderly, all had a stainless steel basin and wolfed down the food.
Yang Fan bought all the pigs from the military households.
Only when you are full can you have sufficient physical strength to cope with the subsequent battle.
We worked hard all night last night and everyone was exhausted.
After eating, everyone, except for dozens of sentries on guard, fell down tiredly and fell asleep.
Yang Fan asked the carpenters he brought this time to remove the windows of the south gate and replace them with hardwood shutter-type sloping windows that were quickly finished. This way, he could observe the situation outside and prevent arrows from shooting through the windows.
Yang Fan sat on the tower and took a nap for a while. He was a little nervous and couldn't sleep, so he got up to settle accounts.
This time it is really a waste of money. So far, on average, each regiment has spent thirty taels of silver on training, including headcount, clothing, food, meat, weapons, ammunition, uniforms, tools, settling family members, building houses, etc.
.Add in the odd expenses and the pension money that was accrued in advance, one hundred thousand taels of silver were gone.
Yang Fan can only hope that with a budget of 30 million soft sister coins, he can finish this battle.
It turns out that raising an army is so expensive, and the little money I have will not last long.
Fortunately, the basic equipment is already there, so the subsequent maintenance costs are not that much.
After this battle, the elite will be left behind, and the rest will be quickly laid off and let them work in factories.
Up to now, I have not generated any income here, and I have been doing it all with money and losses.
We must generate income here as soon as possible to break even.
Monkey must be allowed to increase his efforts to negotiate more catering cooperation.
In addition to iron ore, soap is also on the agenda.
The subsequent construction of Xinghe Castle, the construction of the reservoir dam, and the transformation of farmland on the rocky beach will require a large number of refugees. Without construction machinery, they will all be carried on people's backs and shoulders. It is estimated that at least 100,000 laborers will be needed.
If the leftover food is not enough, the only option is to buy grain.
This is a huge expense.
If you don't have enough food, you have to buy it locally. The price of food here will rise too high, and if you buy it in bulk, it will be expensive and there will be no market for it. There will be no bulk food to buy on the market.
Those big families that control food are hoarding and releasing little by little in order to maintain high prices. If they buy in large quantities, prices will soon skyrocket.
If you can't buy food yourself, then it will be a disaster for the people.
Only when the rocky beach is developed can our food problem be solved.
If that doesn't work, the only option is to deliver modern food.
Yang Fan was frowning and worried when he heard the sound of war drums coming from the distance.
The terrain outside the south gate is the most open and most suitable for fighting.
In the distance, a group of people in rags, holding knives and guns, formed a loose formation and walked towards the village in a chaotic manner.
It looked like there were more than a thousand people,
There was a big drum mounted on the bullock cart behind, and two shirtless men were beating hard.
Many cavalry appeared one after another behind this team.
There were also five or six cavalry on each wing.
Each cavalry unit consists of twenty or thirty men.
Yang Fan suddenly regretted not bringing a telescope. He couldn't see clearly from the tower. The tower was too short. It was only a six-meter-high city gate base and a lonely small house, less than 20 square meters. It was also in tatters.
There is air leakage everywhere.
Apparently, there were about 500 cavalrymen, and they were watching the ragged infantry from three sides to prevent them from escaping.
It seems that these random people are the bandits who disappeared before.
Jiannu wanted to use bandits to rush into the formation first and try out the situation here.
It just so happens that I also want to meet you and see how good the slaves are.
"Donkey Dan, ring the bell and call people up. Assemble"
As the melodious bell rang, the sleeping people quickly woke up, jumped up, and stood in line with their equipment.
"Besides shields, is there anything else that can block arrows?" Yang Fan asked.
"Yes, there is a large pot lid, made of elm wood, three feet in diameter, it can block arrows no problem."
"How many are there?"
"Every family has them, at least more than three hundred."
"Bring them all and give them to the Shangzi camp. The shields are also gathered here. Mobilize more than fifty archers to the south wall to prepare to support the Shangzi camp."
"The regiment went up to the camp to follow me out of the city to fight against the bandits. General Wang Qi and General Zhang Qi led all the strong men and adults up to the wall, and each of them fired a sharp spear. Divide the officers and soldiers, and one person is responsible for twenty people.
A section of wall. Lower the camp as a reserve team on standby."
Mo Zuo and Donkey Dan helped Yang Fan put on Baihu's fish scale armor. Yang Fan gave orders while putting on the armor.
Yang Fan led the regiment out of the city and set up a horizontal formation outside the south gate.
In the upper camp, there are one hundred people in a row and five people in depth.
"If the front row retreats without orders, the back row will kill them," Yang Fan ordered loudly.
The back row supervises the front row.
Alingbao did not expect that hundreds of households in this guardhouse would dare to come out to fight. It was a bit surprising, but it was just an accident. In his opinion, the result would not change.
It seems that a lot of reinforcements came last night, maybe 500 people.
Alinbao signaled to Su Hetai.
"Attack all, and those who dare to escape will kill their families." Su Hetai rushed forward and issued the order.
A dozen bandit leaders had bitter expressions on their faces. Looking across from them, they looked like trained camp soldiers, not those shabby guard soldiers. They were lined up neatly and looked terrified. But the goddamn Jiannu was holding the line at the back, and his family members were all
Being controlled by the slaves, it’s impossible to get ahead.
Su Hetai led fifty cavalrymen, suppressing more than a thousand bandits, and slowly walked to the opposite side of Xinghe Tuanlian and stood fifty paces away.
Zhao Shuigen stood in the front row. It was his first time on the battlefield. He swallowed nervously and found that his mouth was so dry that he was not spitting at all, and his legs were shaking a little. However, he knew that if he turned around and ran, the people behind him would
A platoon of people will stab themselves at any moment.
This is emphasized every day during training.
Mo Zui shouted loudly: "You nnd, don't shake your legs, just hold the gun straight for me."
The soldiers in the front row immediately raised their guns hard, but their legs were still shaking.
"Everyone checked the fire certificates and blew them all. If anyone's fire certificate is extinguished, he will be beaten with a military stick." Mo Zhui continued to curse.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Hetai looked at the weaklings across the way and shook his head gently. It turns out that these were the ones who came last night, and the work was okay. Forget about fighting, look at them
Everyone was nervous. It was estimated that they would be dispersed with a single charge, and they could go into the village for lunch at noon.
"Blow the trumpet and attack." Su Hetai ordered.
Woo! Woo! The desolate horn blows.
The cavalry used their spears to drive the bandits forward.
A few of them cowered and were directly stabbed to death by spears. They screamed and fell to the ground twitching.
The one-eyed dragon Wei Dahu roared, "Brothers, all charge at me."
More than a dozen other heads of various families also shouted and rushed forward.
At one time, more than a thousand bandits and bandits rushed up in a chaotic manner, holding swords and guns.
These are all old thieves who have killed people and seen blood. They all look ferocious, have strange looks, and are menacing. They look very scary when they charge towards them.
"Ah!" Some soldiers panicked and dropped their sharp guns on the ground.
Fortunately, Zhang Gada had a sharp eye when selecting team leaders and selected the most courageous people.
He said that if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging in a nest.
Whoever is bold and ruthless will be made an officer.
Soldiers are created by fighting.
Wu Chang Shaowen slapped you in the face, "Ning Lao Qi, pick up the fucking gun for me. I'll chop you up if you have diarrhea."
Ning Laoqi was so frightened that he quickly picked up the gun and put it away tremblingly.
Donkey Dan shouted: "Get rid of the gun end, prepare the fire stick. Level the muzzle of the gun."
The officers and soldiers of the Shangzi camp were in a hurry, pulling out the gun heads, some throwing them on the ground, some carrying them in their arms, all forgetting the requirements during the training.
"You are not allowed to fire a gun without an order, and you are not allowed to shoot and hit the military stick without permission." Mo Zhui shouted loudly.
Soon, as a concurrent military judge, he discovered that his words were no different from farting.
"Bang", there was a gunshot. Someone was scared and fired first.
"I'm sorry," he was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
When the beating is over, we must find out the bastard who fired first and give him a good blow with a military stick.
Fifty paces, seventy-five meters, even a bird cannon can hit it.
Do you want to go to heaven?
Bang! Bang! Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire.
There was a shooter, followed by a large group of people who also opened fire.
People have a herd effect, and more people follow suit.
