Chapter 615 [Hercules Camp]

The infantry soldiers of the Song Dynasty were very strict when selecting their soldiers, and they were generally eight-foot-tall warriors. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to fight with high intensity wearing seventy or eighty kilograms of armor.

It just so happened that the Yellow Turban Warriors were also powerful men specially selected by Zhang Jiao. The Song Dynasty infantry warriors and Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Warriors coincided very well with each other in their selection of soldiers.

The time, place, and people are all right.

Li Mengxi had already decided on the future arrangements for the Bu Renjia soldiers. He went aside and discussed with Guan Yu whether he could reward Zhou Cang with the Bu Renjia soldiers.

Guan Yu was very familiar with the infantry armor. The two sets of infantry armor in the army were made by Guan Yu himself after he dismantled some of the armor. Guan Yu knew very well that although the infantry armor was good, the key was only in the weaving method.

Han military armor is generally hard-armored, while infantry armor is soft-armored. This is the only difference.

Although the foot armor is a precious armor, you can make a set of foot armor by dismantling a dozen or twenty pairs of ordinary armors.

Moreover, the infantry armor was clearly thought up by the military counselor and is obviously something of the military counselor.

Therefore, Li Mengxi sought Guan Yu's opinion and asked if he could send the infantry to Zhoucang Natu. How could Guan Yu not agree?

With Guan Yu's consent, Li Mengxi walked towards Zhou Cang.

Looking at Zhou Cang, who was covered tightly with iron armor like an iron tower, Li Mengxi looked up at Zhou Cang and asked, "How does this armor look like?"

Zhou Cang raised his hand and lightly hammered the armor on his chest. He praised, "This armor is very thick and thick. Zhou Cang has never seen it before. It is really a sharp weapon for fighting!"

Li Mengxi asked again, "What is the weight of this armor? Is it heavy or not?"

Zhou Cang replied, "Shen, much thicker than ordinary armor."

Li Mengxi asked again, "From the general's point of view, each of your yellow turban warriors has outstanding physique. If we all wear this heavy armor and carry weapons and swords, how far can we attack? How far can we attack?"

The question asked by Li Mengxi was difficult to answer. Zhou Cang was silent for a moment. Zhou Cang felt the weight of the armor on his body and the heavy feeling on his shoulders.

Zhou Cang estimated that wearing such a suit of iron was about the same as carrying a bag of grain.

How many miles can you carry a bag of grain?

Zhou Cang thought for a moment and replied, "If someone wears this armor, he should be able to run seventy miles in one day."

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment. This is a walking armor! It weighs seventy or eighty kilograms. It can run seventy miles while wearing armor. Is it so powerful?

Legend has it that Zhou Cang could carry a thousand kilograms and travel five hundred miles a day.

Could it be that Zhou Cang's body is really that strong?

Li Mengxi suddenly thought that Wei soldiers could wear three layers of armor, carry three days of rations, and carry a sword, shield, bow and crossbow, and they could march hundreds of miles in one day.

Although the three-layer armor of Wei Wu's soldiers may not be as heavy as the infantry's armor, the three layers of armor combined would not be half as heavy as the infantry's armor.

Therefore, the three-layer armor of Wei Wu soldiers still has at least fifty kilograms.

The soldiers of Wei can wear fifty kilograms of armor and march a hundred miles in one day. Zhou Cang, without extra weapons or food rations, can charge seventy miles by one man. This does not seem to be an exaggeration, and is just a bit higher than that of the soldiers of Wei.

It seems that elite infantry soldiers can attack and fight short distances, let alone marching.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi said seriously to Zhou Cang, "I want to give this armor to the general, and I want the general to lead the Yellow Turban warriors alone. Is the general qualified for the job?"

Li Mengxi's words stunned Zhou Cang.

Subconsciously he lowered his head and looked at the armor on his body. Such a life-saving armor was given to me, Zhou Cang?

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Cang was excited. There was a clatter of armor plates, and Zhou Cang knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists to thank him, "Thank you, sir, for giving me armor!"

Seeing that Zhou Cang had accepted the errand, "That's it," Li Mengxi said seriously, "Zhou Cang obeys the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Zhou Cang, I'll take you to the Yellow Turban Warriors and come as a whole team!"

"Yes!" Zhou Cang responded in a deep voice.

When I stood up, there was another sound of scraping nails.

Zhou Cang walked toward the queue of the Yellow Turban warriors with a quick pace.

Although a group of yellow scarf warriors were lined up, the queue was very scattered, and the people were standing in a shapeless manner. They were standing in any shape. Compared with the queue at the Zhuozhou Army headquarters next door, the difference was obvious.

Seeing Zhou Cang walking towards him wearing a suit of iron armor, some people who were familiar with Zhou Cang were very envious and said, "Ah! Brother Zhou Cang, this armor works, it wraps up like an iron man."

He was more familiar with Zhou Cang, so he walked over and curiously tapped and touched Zhou Cang's armor.

Zhou Cang allowed his brothers to fool around and said to everyone, "Brothers, the military advisor has summoned us to line up!" Zhou Cang ordered.

A group of yellow scarf warriors lined up slowly.

Li Mengxi, who was quietly watching all this not far away, couldn't help but frown.

It has long been known that the Zhuozhou Army's own military regulations and formations will be different from other armies in the late Han Dynasty. Therefore, when recruiting other armies, no matter what kind of army they are, no matter whether the opponent is elite or not,

We should first train the formation's military discipline from the beginning according to the standards of the Zhuozhou Army, otherwise it will not be a system and it will be very troublesome to command.

We have been fighting before and have no time to practice. Now that we understand the war situation, it is time to reorganize the entire army.

Li Mengxi put this matter down for now.

After Zhou Cang led the yellow turban warriors to the front and stopped, Li Mengxi glanced at the remaining yellow turban warriors. Li Mengxi announced loudly, "I heard about the bravery of the yellow turban warriors early. Today, I want to claim that there are three hundred yellow turban warriors."

What do you wish for me to become a member of [Lushi Camp]?"

A burst of laughter immediately broke out among the yellow scarf warriors.

A large part of the laughter was at Li Mengxi. There was no malicious intention, but some people thought it was funny that a child as young as Li Mengxi spoke so seriously.

Li Mengxi didn't notice anything, but the loose look of the Yellow Turban warriors angered Guan Yu who was standing by.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, and the blue dragon in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a squeaking sound. He glared angrily, "The military advisor asked me if I want to establish a [Hercules Camp], what do you think?" Guan Yu shouted violently.

Guan Yu's violent shout made all the yellow scarf warriors feel trembling in their hearts.

"willing!"

"I want to be a strong man."



The Yellow Turban warriors gave mixed answers.

When the voices of the Yellow Turban warriors died down, Li Mengxi looked at Zhou Cang, who was standing on one side of the Yellow Turban queue, and shouted, "Come forward Zhou Cang!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Cang took a step forward, and with the sound of armor plates clattering, he walked in front of Li Mengxi and a group of yellow scarf warriors.

Li Mengxi solemnly announced to the Yellow Turban warriors, "We now order Zhou Cang to be the commander of the warrior camp and command the three hundred men of the warrior camp. Do you have any objections?"

"good!"

"It should be Brother Zhou Cang!"

"No objection!"



The crowd of yellow scarf warriors was enthusiastic and cheered loudly.

Zhou Cang was originally one of the commanders of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and Zhou Cang was a loyal man, and he was also the leader of the Yellow Turbans. When Zhou Cang became the commander, the brothers would have someone to protect them. No matter what, when Zhou Cang was the commander of the warrior camp, he would only care about everyone.

There are advantages and no disadvantages, and no one has the slightest objection.

Seeing that Zhou Cang was a bit popular, Li Mengxi nodded, "In that case, Zhou Cang will be the commander of the Lishi Battalion."

"Zhou Cang, you will appoint the various corps commanders and call me after your selection."

After saying that, Li Mengxi left.

Li Mengxi only asked Zhou Cang to choose the candidate for the corps commander. However, there were more than 300 Yellow Turban warriors, so they should have chosen the corps commander and even the centurion.

Li Mengxi deliberately only allowed the selection of corps commanders. This was Li Mengxi's previous experience. When the military medical battalion was first established, there were only a dozen military doctors. The director of the military doctors at that time was Tian Bu. Because there were too few military doctors, Tian Bu could only be temporarily selected.

What is the position?

This arrangement also has unexpected benefits. Military positions are actually precious resources. If all official positions are released too early, it will be difficult to take them back.

It is best to issue official positions when there are meritorious people.

Yellow turban warriors are newly recruited into the army and generally have no military merits. If all the centurions are assigned directly now, then if someone performs meritorious service in the war in the future, why not continue to rise to the rank of centurion or general? However, the yellow turban warriors

How can these three hundred people be promoted to captains of thousands?

Therefore, it is best to hold on to military duties and save military resources.

Just like the military medical camp, there are now hundreds of military doctors and civilian helpers in the military medical camp, but Tian Bu, the chief officer of the military medical camp, is still a small man.

There are also craftsmen camp, pottery camp, butcher camp, fishing camp, these various logistics camps that Li Mengxi set up one after another. Although the number of people generally exceeds a hundred, the chief officers of each camp are generally only very senior.

This is also true in the military camp. The rebel army now has more than 10,000 soldiers, and the highest officer is a centurion.

That is, under Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Li Mengxi, there is no such thing as a commander of thousands, but directly below them are many centurions.
