The quarters in Denzel is one of the most special places in town.
It is special because the quarters office is located near the warehouse, and because the Empire has always fought with the Odins every time, this Moor County must be used as a temporary war zone, and Denzel City is a small town closest to the border. , is a city defense built according to the standard of a military fortress, and naturally becomes a temporary command post in the theater, and carries the transportation of military supplies.
Therefore, the warehouse here is extraordinarily large. If it is fully loaded, it can store the food and ordnance consumed by the attacking army of 100,000.
What's more special is that the military barracks of the quarters are also built to be extraordinarily strong, even... styled.
Yes, style and luxury.
As we all know, the military logistics department has always been the fattest place in the military system of the Byzantine Empire, especially during the war, millions of weapons, supplies, food, grass, etc. have to be handled, as well as the collection of civilians, horses, livestock, etc. All kinds of jobs, one by one, are huge oil and water.
Historically, the various positions of the military supply logistics are either the most trusted people at the top sent from above (helping the boss above to make money together), or some people with a very hard background and a deep background, Those who go down to the army to gild and earn qualifications, such people are naturally impossible to fight, and the front line is too dangerous. Generally speaking, they are placed in the logistics department. The logistics are safe, hiding in the rear, in the quarters department. , put on a tiger skin, and then hang around. After the war is over, you will be able to get the title of "knowing the military strategy", and you can also add a lot to your resume, similar to "Have participated in so-and-so" After the war, he was in charge of military supplies, and he had a record of deployment.” From then on, he could switch to politics and climb further.
Because the opening of the military supply has always been controlled by such people in Byzantium, even the real officers and leaders of the theater are generally not willing to offend these unforgiving uncles. And these guys are either princelings who came down to gilt, or they helped a certain powerful boss to come down to make money. These people have already come from extraordinary backgrounds. Even if they are in the army, how can they eat the life in the army. Bitter
Therefore, the person in charge of the military quarters in the past dynasties, sitting in the logistics quarters camp in the military town of Denzel City, always tried every means to make their lives more comfortable.
Therefore, this military supply camp has been built more and more stylishly, especially the barracks of the chief officer and the hall for handling official duties, which are so comfortable that people drool. The rooms are covered with high-quality wood floors to ensure that they will not feel damp in summer and cold in winter. The walls are hollow and double-layered. There is a high stove outside the house, which burns vigorously in winter. The hot air is sent to the cracks in the walls through copper pipes to ensure that even though it is cold and humid outside, the house must be warm as spring. Even when the eldest son of a very noble marquis in the past came down to gild, in order to make himself more comfortable in summer, in the best place in this camp, he dug a few meters into the ground and built a large ice cellar for storage. Ice, so that you can eat ice-cold good things in summer.
When Xi Ya came to Denzel City and took over this place, he appointed Cato, who was the most suitable for logistics and military supplies, as the military logistics chief logistics officer. Although this guy Cato was also a Rodriguez cavalry, he was not with Sha. Erba is different from that sturdy guy. This guy has a cunning and changeable temperament. Once in the Roderian cavalry, he was known for being good at getting all kinds of contraband. The inside story is clear.
With this life-and-death friendship between Cato and Char—at the time of the Battle of Albact, Cato and Sharba were almost killed by Odin to refine the soul warriors, and they were killed by Char who was hiding in a tree. After giving up his life to save him, this kind of relationship in the army that has experienced death is deeper than that of blood relatives. With the friendship between Cato and Xia Ya, sitting on the mouth of the military quarters, he will never embezzle to make money, and he can also ensure that all the mice up and down in the military quarters will be suppressed, which will greatly prevent the people below from playing. Some ghost tricks.
This smuggler was so happy when Char appointed him as the chief quartermaster officer, he almost laughed out of his teeth - he didn't intend to make money from this fat hole, but Cato knew very well that the entire Denzel In the city, this military camp is the most comfortable place to live. The food is delicious, and it is a hundred times stronger than Xiaya's city guard. When this guy took office, he almost dropped his chin to the ground with laughter.
Fortunately, this guy kept an eye on him and didn't tell Xia Ya, a layman... Otherwise, I'm afraid Xia Ya would pack up the bed and run to the logistics camp the next day.
When Xia Ya heard that there was an accident at the logistics, she was also angry, and ran away in a hurry. He was so fast that even the officer who came to report the news was left behind, so he ran towards the military supplies. .
When I took it to the logistics camp, I rushed in. Whoever the guards in the camp didn't recognize as the boss, saw him arrive, and many people showed strange smiles.
Xia Ya didn't care, and rushed directly to the office lobby of the logistics and military supplies, turned over and dismounted, and rushed in with great strides. Several logistical officers stood there with strange expressions, and Xia Ya looked left and right: "Where are the people?"
An officer smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, they are all in the back yard..."
As soon as Xia Ya raised her eyebrows, she rushed straight back.
A huge yard in the back was also built by a former military chief. In order to make him feel more comfortable in summer, he even built a big pond, where he could fish and swim.
Just when Xia Ya rushed outside the backyard, she heard an annoyed voice shouting, "Come up if you can!"
Immediately, Grenshire, the big eagle with the hooked nose of the 6th Corps, shouted loudly; "Come down if you have the ability!"
"Come up if you have the ability!"
"You have the ability to come down!!"
Xia rushed in, and when he saw the scene inside, he almost twitched his nose.
A group of officers and generals of the 7th Corps, headed by a flag officer of the flag regiment, with a big shoulder and a round waist, was standing there with an iron rod in his hand, one hand akimbo and the other, but his face was blue and swollen, and his forehead was swollen. Get a bag from the boss. The nose was even crooked to the side, apparently the bridge of the nose was broken.
And the Grenshire of the Sixth Corps stood in the pond, only standing in the shallow water, with one hand on his hips and a look of contempt on his face.
One of the two shouted "you come up" and the other shouted "you come down", and they were scolding with joy.
After seeing this scene, it is clear that on Grenshire's side, he is the only one in the Sixth Corps, but there are seven or eight from the Seventh Corps on the other side. Obviously, Grenshire is not an opponent in the fight. This guy is indeed Fatty Lu. The old subordinate whom Er had trained did not know how to find a way to make the other party suffer a small loss, but ran into the pond again.
There are a lot of people here in the 7th Corps, but none of them can swim. They can only stand on the shore and yell at them. Some want to throw stones at them. The cleaning here is extremely fast. Where can I find half a stone in the yard
Xia Ya saw that Cato was standing by the side, holding a cup in his hand. The cup was emitting a white cold air. It was obviously a drink with ice cubes added. The young man took two sips, and then deliberately pretended to be kind from time to time, shouting a few words: "Everyone is a colleague in the army, don't hurt the peace..."
But this shrewd guy said something nice in his mouth, but he was watching the play from a distance, and he had no intention of going up to fight.
Xia Ya ran over and grabbed Cato first: "What is this guy doing? What the hell is going on here?!"
Cato saw Xi Ya, his eyes lit up, and he put the cup in his hand close: "Mead, ice cubes, drink it the next day when it's so hot, it's cool from the mouth to the heart. , do you want to try it?"
Xia Ya pushed away Cato's hand angrily: "What's going on?"
Cato glanced at the corner of his mouth: "What else can happen, the two sides are fighting for things, the points are uneven, and it's a fight."
Xia Ya frowned: "Why don't you go up and pull it?"
Cato smiled and looked a little sneaky. He pulled Xia Ya to stand on the side, and whispered: "I'm just a guy at the level of a battalion officer. How can these gentlemen listen to me? Besides... "
His voice was even lower: "Master Green has whispered to me behind the scenes... It's good for us to have some minor conflicts between the two sides."
Saying that, he looked at Xi Ya up and down: "Yi? You came sooner than I thought. I figured it would take another quarter of an hour for the person sent to find you to call you. "
Xia Ya's face was even more strange, but Cato sighed softly: "Okay, since you are all here, seeing that the play is over, my county governor, hurry up and suppress the scene."
After speaking, he shouted loudly, pretending to be happy, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, don't fight again, the county governor is here!"
He shouted a few words and pushed Xia Ya lightly, and Xia Ya ran up immediately. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it carefully at this time, so he walked over with a frown: " Everyone, stop! Stop!"
Saying that, he grabbed an officer of the 7th Corps who was already impatient and was about to take off his shoes and went into the water, pushed him, turned and stared at the flag officer of the 7th Corps: "What's the matter? This is the logistics. The military supply center is not the place for you to fight! Is the military record of the Seventh Corps so lax!"
He is an old friend of the 6th Corps, and the first words that came up were naturally directed to his old friend, and then he looked at Grenshire in the water, and said with a stern face: "You big-nosed dog. I don't know how to dig in the water, come up quickly! Look where you look like an officer!"
Grenshire stood in the water, but with a smile on his face, he didn't take it seriously after scolding Xi Ya, but said loudly, "Lord Xi Ya, I can come up, but you have to guarantee these guys Don't do it anymore! I'm not afraid of them, they beat Lao Tzu one out of seven or eight. If it is a one-on-one duel, if Lao Tzu is afraid, the second Lao Tzu will really change his name to 'Big Nose Dog'! How about it?"
Xia Ya glanced at the people from the 7th Corps behind him, his voice was not loud, but his tone was naturally a little majestic, and said lightly: "Since I'm all standing here, I naturally don't allow anyone to do anything, come up and talk. !"
Xia Ya's strength is now different from the past, and he has been promoted to the top master of the ninth level. Except for those old monsters who are stronger than the old monsters, he can almost walk sideways in most other cases. Besides, he I have been dealing with real monster-level guys like Merlin and Hasting for a long time. Naturally, I have a majesty and aura. I hummed so coldly. Although the people from the 7th Corps behind me were still a little dissatisfied, they were all He shut his mouth honestly.
Grenshire then walked up honestly, but deliberately stood by Char's side and stayed away from the people from the 7th Corps.
"Why did you fight?" Xia Ya squinted his eyes: "Do you really think of my logistics quarters as a ring? You guys like fighting so much, another day, set up a ring outside the city, let you go up and have a good fight, let the brothers You can make a small fortune by placing bets outside.”
Hearing this, both sides blushed. The person from the 7th Corps called Qu Dao: "Lord Xia, we are here to handle the delivery of some houses, but these rats from the 6th Corps are fighting with us! Hmph, it's not me, the people from your 6th Corps can only Run, why do you need so much equipment! The best armor for you is also thrown away when you run! Why don't you give it to the Seventh Corps and the Sixth Corps, each of you will be given a pair of good armors Fast boots are enough."
When he said this, Grenshire was not annoyed, but narrowed his eyes: "I said I can only run, so who couldn't beat Lao Tzu one-on-one just now, and his nose was broken by Lao Tzu? ?"
The people of the Seventh Corps suddenly shouted and cursed again.
Xia Ya heard a few sentences and shouted, "Okay! Shut up!"
When he roared like this, he suddenly had a strong aura, and both sides closed their mouths.
"Go back! All of you are officers of a high rank! What does it look like to fight like this!" Xia Ya snorted: "One of the people on both sides counts as one! All of them will be deducted from the army's salary for one month!!"
When he showed his power like this, the people on both sides were a little dissatisfied, and the flag-holding officer of the Seventh Corps called out: "Sir, but... but how is this armament distributed? We want a hundred sets of armor to change... This sixth The corps has to be split in half..."
When Xia Ya heard this, his heart moved. He probably knew how much equipment he had in the warehouse in the city. It was not without a hundred sets of infantry armor, and he could take out more. Glancing at Cato and seeing the smuggler's expressionless face towards him, Xia Ya's heart moved, and he frowned on purpose: "What's the noise? It's not that you don't know our situation right now! This way... Seventh Corps Take sixty sets, the Sixth Corps takes forty sets, and both sides stop!"
He made a decision, the people on both sides were not good to say anything, but the two sides stared at each other fiercely, and then they left helplessly, before leaving, Xi Ya glanced at Grenshire: "Hmph, you are very Can you swim?"
Grenshire smiled in a low voice: "Lord Char, we guys from the 6th Corps, when we entered the 6th Corps, General Ruhr gave us a hard drill. If you can climb mountains and be able to run, You also need to be able to swim... Lord Ruhr said that in such a time, once you encounter a situation, you can be foolproof."
Xia Ya nodded, thinking that it was indeed that fat man's behavior...
Afraid that these guys would go out and fight again, Xia ordered to send a few soldiers to "escort" both sides to go out.
After everyone left, Xia Ya looked at Cato with a calm expression: "What's going on?"
Cato smiled: "Well, are you asking about the armor?"
"Although I have done things a little rough, I still understand how much I have. There are at least more than 600 sets of infantry heavy armor in the warehouse."
Cato nodded: "Not just, there are more than 700. We all talk about being nervous now. Some old armors, I have found the blacksmiths in the city to repair them, and they can continue to be used."
Xiaya smiled: "then they..."
"Lord Green told me to deliberately not give them enough... Throw out a small amount at a time, and let the two of them fight." Cato smiled in a low voice: "Lord Green said, now let's The situation here, the people on both sides of the 6th and 7th Corps, combined, there are more than our own troops. This situation is not stable - hehe, if we want to maintain our position, we can't let these two families hold together. Regiment! At least there must be some small gaps and frictions between them. Let's just balance the two sides. Otherwise..."
Xia Ya nodded and touched his chin, with a weird smile on his face: "Yes, Greene and I discussed this at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless... You wouldn't give them a hundred sets of armor. ,Ha ha!"
Cato pouted: "Why don't you send them so much stuff when you don't fight now? I think the Sixth Corps is fine, and they still practice every day. The Seventh Corps' people are a little idle, and they have been given weapons. The armor is also put there to sleep and rust. Unfortunately, they are not our soldiers after all, so we can't stretch our hands too long to take care of their military affairs."
After a pause, Cato sighed: "I said, Lord Xia, when can we really take these guys? These guys from the Seventh Corps are getting more and more outrageous these days. Soldiers are not like soldiers, they will not Like generals. Those generals and officers are eating, drinking, playing cards and making trouble every day, and the city's security officers have had headaches several times. The training is also wasted... Well, if this is our own soldiers, hum, I can't kill them by training them! One month , let them all peel off!"
Xia Ya's face also sank: "Hey... I photographed that guy Philip to do an important thing... There is no news yet. It's hard for that guy, and there are so many enemy occupations on the road of thousands of miles. District, I don’t know if that guy has done it, but I count the days, and even if it is done, he will only be able to come back in half a month.”
Char's calculation was not bad, but the time he calculated was only the time Philip had to walk alone—he didn't expect that Philip would not only finish his work, but would also give him a big surprise, and even the thousands of Rodriguez cavalry were on their way. The speed also far exceeded Xia Ya's estimate...
※※※
Those from the 6th and 7th Corps left the logistics quarters camp, and were escorted by soldiers to leave. They went back after seeing the people on both sides parted ways at the intersection.
The people of the Seventh Corps walked all the way, swearing and scolding all the way. After walking for a while, an officer suddenly patted his head and shouted, "No! No!"
The flag officer with a crooked nose listened and gave him a sideways look: "What's wrong?"
The officer said in a low voice, "Master Xia Ya said that he would deduct one month's salary from us... But he is clearly not our boss! In terms of identity, he is at most the same level as you, and the local garrison needs more If he is lower than you, why should he deduct our military pay?"
The flag officer with a crooked nose heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, sighed deeply, and said in a low voice, "You are not allowed to say this again in the future."
After a pause, he looked around, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "You all remember, don't say such things again... We are now relying on others, and on his territory, we rely on him to provide food and drink, let's He also pays the military pay for the military. He said that he wanted to deduct it, so he naturally deducted it... Originally, if we really care, we should not receive his military pay - we are not his soldiers. But that's how it is... hehe , I see, this Seventh Corps may have a surname in the future."
When an officer heard it, he also had a clear look on his face, and said in a low voice, "I heard... Her Royal Highness and the Crown Princess have both fled to the city, and I heard that they lived in the city guard's mansion... Mrs. Xia's backstage , it's not ordinary hard."
"Shut up! Can this kind of thing be said nonsense!" The flag officer's expression twisted, and he almost twisted his broken nose even more crooked. If you dare to talk nonsense, I think you don't want to die!"
A few people were walking when suddenly they saw the sound of hooves in front of the road, and then the dust flew up. A group of cavalry flying horses from the city came running wildly. Seeing that the costumes were all scouts and rangers, these cavalry horses were in a hurry and collided directly all the way. When they came over, the cavalry on the horse was even more sweaty, excited and even excited.
In the distance, some cavalrymen shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Emergency military situation! Emergency military situation!!!"
Seeing this scene, passersby stepped aside one after another. How dare these people from the Seventh Corps dare to put on the air of uncles? Byzantine Empire military law, scout cavalry to convey emergency military information, can ride on the street, even if someone is trampled to death... it is a waste of time!
The people of the Seventh Corps looked a little ugly.
"Could it be that the Odins are calling?"
"No way... I heard that Manninger and the Corsicans in the south are fighting lively."
"That may be... There is Hastings in the east... Isn't the Sixth Corps driven over by Hastings? Damn, Hastings hates the people of the Sixth Corps, maybe they will chase after them! "
"Hasting? If he comes, let's... kill those guys in the Sixth Corps!!"
The flag officer also had an ugly face. Seeing the cavalry rush past, he shouted from a distance, "Brother, what happened!"
The cavalry rushed over like the wind, how could anyone pay attention to him
But after the cavalry, a group of city defense soldiers hurriedly ran out of the city, the flag officer of the seventh corps saw it, and immediately rushed over and asked loudly, "Brother, what happened? ?"
Most of the infantry guarding the city were recruits, but someone turned around and laughed loudly: "There are cavalry outside the city, and we have reinforcements!"
"Reinforcement?" The commander of the Seventh Corps listened, and curled his lips: "Where are the reinforcements nearby? Maybe there are remnants of defeated soldiers, just like us that day."
He thought about it, and couldn't help but say it out of his mouth. Some of the city guards who ran past heard it, and some couldn't help shouting: "Don't talk nonsense! It's cavalry! We got the news, thirty outside the city. There are cavalry in it! I heard that the flag and the bugle were trumpeted, and it was Rodia! It was Rodia!!”
After finishing speaking, leaving behind the shocked faces of the Seventh Corps, the infantry rushed towards the city gate.
Rodriguez? !
The people of the Seventh Corps looked sluggish.
Didn't the Roderian cavalry go to Osgilia? How did you get here
"Sir, let's also go to the city gate to see..."
"Idiot!!" The flag officer slapped the speaker out with a slap, stared with a complex taste on his face, and finally took a long breath and sighed again: "...Let's go! Back to camp! !"
"Back, back to camp?"
"Back to the camp!" The general of the 7th Corps smiled bitterly: "Back to the camp! Rectify the troops! You all dispersed, find all our people, gather in the camp! Quick! It's the military order!"
"Why... why? My lord?"
"Why?" The flag officer had a wry smile on his face: "The Roderian cavalry is here... I see, the number of our seventh corps is coming to an end!"
"... The end?" The people below were still a little dazed.
"A bunch of idiots." The flag officer shook his head: "What kind of troop is Rodria? Think about where the Lord Char and the generals under him came from... Alas... go back! Go back! Everyone gathered, don't make any trouble... You haven't dealt with the Rodriguez cavalry, but I did... Those guys..."
After a pause, the general closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously: "We can't afford it! We definitely don't dare to provoke it!!"
…
Outside the city, Philip looked at Reinhardt, and at this thin and out of shape young man: "We don't enter the city, but what are we doing outside the city? Do you want to stand up first?!"
Facing Philip's questioning, Reinhardt smiled: "I don't have that kind of intention... I do this, your Mr. Char, and it's too late to be happy. I... This is to help him stand up!"
