Chapter 64: Taking Stock of Strength

The lord broke through the pass, and no matter what he did in the black water plug, he consciously came to the town guard mansion to report.

Su Huan, Liu Meng, Kou Xian, Gao Xiang, Deng Yan, Xiaohu and others all came. There are also a large number of junior generals who have just been promoted and generals who surrendered in the first battle of Black Wind Village are not qualified to come.

If you don't look at the quality, Shang Ji's subordinates can barely be called a general.

After everyone saw Shang Ji, they congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the lord (brother) for the successful breakthrough, the lord (brother) is brave and invincible!" ”

Shang Ji, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, just sit down." ”

After the generals sat down one after another, Shang Ji asked: "I am fortunate to have all of you who have been working hard to stick to your posts in the past month of retreat, which has ensured the normal operation of the black water plug, and I thank you here!" ”

"Serve the Lord and never give up!" The generals spoke in unison again.

"Okay, okay, don't care about these false courtesies, all departments report on their work, Lu Kuang, you come first."

After a month of intense recruitment and training, our army once again added two hundred sword and shield soldiers, two hundred archers and two hundred light cavalry, most of which have reached the third-order strength, and a few that have not reached it have been handed over to General Zhao Shen for intensive training. In addition, one junior general and six fourth-order soldiers appeared in this batch of newly recruited troops. ”

"Well, General Lu has done a good job, and I am relieved to call you about training soldiers." Hearing that another 400 new troops had entered the account, Shang Ji was in a happy mood, and when he heard that there was also a junior military general and six fourth-order soldiers, Shang Ji was even more excited, and couldn't help but praise Lu Kuang.

"Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the lord, the last general will not dare to take credit." Lu Kuang said humbly.

"Okay, I will remember your credit, and then I will ask General Zhao Shen to introduce me to the absorption and training of the enemy army."

"My lord." Zhao Shen, who was named, saluted realistically, and then continued: "On the date, our army captured more than 800 bandits from Heifeng Village (all of them are second-order minions, and all the elites of the third order have been assigned to Baiyun Village), and after the cooperation of General Yang Cheng, all of them have now surrendered to our army. After a month of training, more than 500 of them advanced to the third rank. It is up to the Lord to decide how these people will be distributed. ”

"Integrate all these troops into the reserve, wait for our military rank to be promoted before officially joining our army, in addition, these troops will not issue weapons for the time being, General Zhao Shen will continue to lead the training, and when needed, be sure to take out a third-order army of 800 people for me!" After a little contemplation, Shang Ji decided where these people went.

At present, Shang Ji's official position is that of the battalion Sima, and he can recruit 2,000 people. But with the addition of new recruits and surrenders, the size of the army has already been exceeded. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, the requirements for the size of each army were very strict, and unauthorized expansion was regarded as rebellion.

At present, Shang Ji is in the black water plug, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, plus the direct superior is his own righteous alliance brother, it is okay to play the side ball, but he does not dare to break the rules unscrupulously, you must know that there is a Tian Teng in Wangquan County who is watching from the side.

"Subordinates take orders!" Zhao Shen said solemnly, and then retreated to his original position.

"Su Huan, tell me about the training of the regular army!"

"Lord Qiqi, our army currently has a total of 2,044 soldiers, including 193 black-armored Xuancai (seven were killed in the first battle of Heifengzhai), 362 ordinary heavy cavalry (formerly black-armored army), 200 light cavalry, 432 sword and shield soldiers, 400 archers, 416 pikemen, of which there are 267 soldiers whose strength has reached the fourth order. In addition, there are 24 junior generals, 12 intermediate generals, and 8 senior generals. Su Huan replied proudly.

Su Huan has personally experienced the growth process of the Shang Ji army from scratch, and in just half a year, Shang Ji can have such achievements, as the first batch of aborigines who took refuge in Shang Ji, he is honored.

"Oh? There are already eight high-ranking generals in our army? Are those robes promoted? Shang Ji asked with interest. I remember that before the crusade against Heifeng Village, only Shang Ji himself, Su Huan, and Gao Xiang were senior generals in the Shang Ji army, and at most Xiaohu was a supernumerary member.

"Lord Qi, thanks to the secret book given by the lord, during your retreat and cultivation, Liu Meng, Zhao Shen, Lu Kuang, Kou Xian, Liu Xu five generals have broken through to senior generals, plus Yang Cheng, Gao Xiang two generals and the last general, our army has a total of eight senior generals, in addition, Fu Yao, Shen Hong and other generals are already at the peak of intermediate generals, and may break through at any time."

When Su Huan said this, Fu Yao's face turned red, as the same group of aborigines who followed Shang Ji as Su Huan, he was the only one who had not been promoted to a senior general, and he was really ashamed. Shen Hong felt that it didn't matter, he had no ambitions, and he was already very satisfied that he could advance to the peak of intermediate martial arts.

Shang Ji saw all this in his eyes, and said quietly: "Okay, good, these cheats can be regarded as the best use in your hands, and they have not disappointed my hard work." ”

"Draw out the regular soldiers whose strength has reached the fourth order, and I will transfer them to the Black Armor Xuancai!" Shang Ji instructed Su Huan.

"Yes."

Su Huan didn't talk nonsense, and sat down after receiving the order.

"Third brother, I don't know how much the blacksmith's workshop outputs? Able to support the army to change clothes? Shang Ji asked Deng Yan, who was sitting on the left.

"Brother, because of the previous battle in Heifeng Village, our army captured a large amount of equipment, the quality of these equipment is not bad, basically up to the standard of excellence, and it can be used as standard equipment with a little transformation. Therefore, our army currently has sufficient inventory of ordinary equipment, but there is a serious shortage of iron-grade suits needed for the expansion of the Black Armor Xuancai, and I have ordered the blacksmith workshop to make every effort to produce the Black Armor Xuanqi suit. At present, 100 sets have been produced, but they are still insufficient, and the foolish brother is ashamed. ”

Deng Yan looked ashamed and said helplessly.

"It's okay, the output of the junior blacksmith's workshop is limited, and it can be changed without manpower, so the virtuous brother doesn't need to blame himself." Shang Ji comforted.

This is really no way, the normal junior blacksmith workshop Nissan iron level set set, Deng Yan will suspend the production of other levels of equipment, and go all out to produce the black armor Xuanqi set, and can only produce up to three sets per day, and if you want to improve, you must upgrade the blacksmith workshop.

"By the way, Brother Xian, do you know how many gold coins our blacksmith workshop needs to produce a black-armored Xuanqi suit?" Shang Ji didn't know what to remember, and suddenly asked.

"Oh, I've already calculated before, counting the cost of raw materials and the salary of craftsmen, we didn't need about twenty hardware to produce a set of black armor Xuanqi suit!" Deng Yan was a little puzzled, but replied quickly.

"I ......%...... ¥#¥%&! ”

A lot of classic national curses popped out of Shang Ji's mouth!
