Chapter 1054: 1040. The military merchant group on the plateau 1
Chapter 1054 1040. The military business group on the plateau 1
Orange sky, dark clouds faded.
You can see the towering Daxue Mountain in the north of the plateau, and the cumulus clouds in the sky form a gray and white fuzzy curtain wall.
The verdant grass is covered with a small white flower, with a little yellowish stamen, and a large group of war horses are gnawing on the grass outside the barracks. This is the biggest benefit of the coalition forces entering the plateau, as there is no need to provide a lot of fodder for the war horses.
You must know that the Bena coalition army in Suldak currently has more than 12,000 horses alone, and the daily consumption of hay and beans is calculated by cart.
Now that the ground is full of grass, there is no need to prepare a large amount of forage mixed with soybeans for the war horses. However, these war horses still have to be fed some grains and black beans every night to ensure that the war horses will not lose weight during the march.
The wounds on the two-headed ogre healed quickly, but there were very clear marks of being struck by lightning and scalded on his skin. A tree on his shoulder has no leaves, but countless fine branches.
Gulitum didn't care about the new scars on his body. For the ogre, every trace left on the body recorded a thrilling experience.
"You don't feel that when you are struck by lightning, your whole body is numb, and the electric arc is moving in your body. In fact, it is quite refreshing!"
There is still a bandage wrapped around Naohua'er's neck, and there are four holes where he was bitten by the king of **** dogs. Given the super resilience contained in the ogre's body, these wounds have not disappeared for so long. After recovering, there was a trace of thick black air in the wound, as if it had vitality, preventing the flesh and blood from healing.
However, this little injury didn't seem to affect the mood of the brain. He raised his hand with a smile, and there was a little bit of lightning power in the flame in the palm of his hand.
"No!" Gullitum said simply.
Obviously, as good brothers who share the same body, Gullitum knows exactly what the brain is thinking.
"Then can you... for me... I mean, look at the changes that the flames produce, I think it's a small improvement for us, so I think it's okay for her to shoot us an arrow once in a while, that half-elf is you My friend, would you ask her to shoot us once in a while?"
Naohuaer said carefully.
"cannot!"
Gulitham rejected his good brother without hesitation.
A gust of wind blows, and the young grass leaves in the meadow sway gently in the breeze. A grasshopper sitting on the grass spreads its translucent wings, flies far away with the breeze, and lands on a flower stalk of wild leeks. .
The two-headed ogre raised its two heads almost simultaneously, constantly shaking its nostrils.
He supported the grass with one hand, stood up from the grass with his burly body, and startled a group of grasshoppers into the air.
He looked into the distance and saw a convoy bypassing the grassy **** in the distance and slowly approaching the camp.
"Oh, look at the logistics supply convoy, finally, I smelled a ham smell on those carriages"
Gulitham said to Naohua excitedly.
Naohuaer also blinked, and said to Gullitum with a simple smile: "It would be even better if I could get some more of the salamander ribs I ate last time."
…
This is a convoy full of various goods. Each carriage is full of various goods and tied very tightly with ropes. There are some mercenaries on horseback around the convoy.
The leather armor worn by the mercenaries is of various styles, but everyone looks like an elite warrior armed to the teeth.
The convoy did not drive into the barracks, they drove over slowly and stopped on the grassy **** opposite the camp.
When the carriage stopped, the coachmen took out some tents from the carriage and set them up on the spot, spread some leather on the grass in front of the carriage, and took out pieces of goods from the carriage and placed them on the stalls. A carriage set up a small market on the grassy **** opposite the barracks.
On the stalls put out, there are a variety of products, such as porcelain, iron pots, buckle belts, silver-plated cups and copper tea sets, etc. Of course, there are also dried chickens, ducks, ham, whole jars of pickles, salted fish, and so on. Strong home-style cheeses and more.
This market appeared at the gate of the barracks in just one hour, and many cavalry and heavy armored infantry ran out to be lively.
Many people gathered in front of the stalls. They were tired of eating marching rations in the military camp every day. They sneaked through their wallets and asked the stall owners for the price.
At the end of the caravan, there were some triangular tents with divination signs. Outside each tent stood a plump woman in exaggerated costumes, holding a silver-plated plate in her hand. There was very little food in it, only one A small plate of biscuits and a cup of milk tea, but those who are willing to come here will care about such a little food.
The number of soldiers gathered here was the largest. The soldiers surrounded the three floors and the three floors outside. Almost all of them stretched their necks to look inside. Not many people were really willing to take the plates and walk into the tent.
…
Suldak stood in front of the big tent in the camp, and he could see the bustling market opposite through the layers of tents.
A familiar breath rushed towards him.
Suldak recalled those days when he was in the forest camp in Handanal County. There was such a temporary market on the hillside opposite the camp. Obviously, the market there was very lively, and there were at least ten large and small business groups. several.
Now, there is a caravan here just now, and it seems that this caravan came here in a group.
Suldak suddenly felt that the supply of the legion might not be so difficult, and he could finally enter the depths of this plateau...
In the supply system of the Green Empire army, the business group can be said to be an indispensable part.
Many lord armies are self-financed for fighting outside. These lord armies are not large in scale. They do not have a dedicated logistics supply team. Sometimes they can be attached to the side of the great lord legion and use the supply line of the great lord legion to replenish various supplies. supplies.
The Heavy Armored Infantry Corps led by Surdak is a regular army prepared by the Bena Army, so the logistics supply line during the recent period has been prepared by the Bena Army.
It was better when I was in Mukuso City. After all, Ruyt City and Mukuso City are only separated by a portal. Many supplies are available in Ruyt City, and it is not a problem to transport them here, so the logistics supply There has never been any problem.
But with the Beinar coalition marching northward, some minor problems began to appear in the logistics supplies.
After the army entered the Sai Ruoman Plateau, the coalition forces could only stay at the north entrance of the Mela Mountain Canyon in the southwest of the plateau, waiting for the subsequent delivery of military supplies.
Now there is actually a caravan coming from Mukuso City, which can solve many problems...
…
The cavalrymen are very rich, and they don't care about spending a dozen copper coins to buy a piece of cheese, jerky or ham from their hometown.
In contrast, the soldiers in the infantry regiment seemed to be in a tight spot.
They ran to the market, just picking some cheap goods, such as salted fish or pickled vegetables.
Suldak's heavy armored infantry corps has a total strength of 25,000 people. It is the largest component of the Bena coalition army and belongs to the Bena army, not counting Suldak's private army.
These fighters who came out of the resistance army have never seen a market built at the gate of the barracks during the war.
Privately, the soldiers lamented that the gap between the rebel army and the regular lord army was not the slightest bit, and they ran to the market with freshness and curiosity.
Eating and lodging are all in the military barracks when they go out on an expedition. Everyone has no money in their hands. Now they are a little dumbfounded when they see the dazzling array of goods.
Especially when they walked to the front of more than a dozen triangular tents at the end of the caravan and saw the buttery white bread squeezed out of the cups, the flame deep in their hearts was completely ignited.
So, when everyone was thinking about where to get some money, they suddenly remembered that there is a merit exchange list in the army. When they were in Bansko Town, someone used the merit points on the exchange list to exchange for some gold coins. , So someone ran to the logistics tent of the Heavy Armored Infantry Battalion, trying to exchange their achievements for gold coins...
As a result, one hundred points of merit were erased, and he actually received a golden and heavy gold coin.
The entire barracks was boiling over this, but the merit exchange officers in the logistics department still took the trouble to remind these soldiers that the merit points here can be exchanged for gold coins at any time, but once they are exchanged for gold coins, they cannot be refunded. Come back to exchange for achievement value, so if you have a demand for gold coins, try to exchange as much as you want to spend, so as not to regret it later!
‘A fool will regret it! '
In fact, most soldiers think so.
…
While the soldiers in the barracks were frantically exchanging merits and buying something at the temporary market, a business group called the Catcher in the Rye arrived at the Sai Ruoman Plateau with a large amount of food.
…
In the big tent of the military camp, Suldak decided to attack the nearest town of Reese tomorrow.
The commanders of the various lord legions left the camp, preparing to leave the camp tomorrow morning.
The orderly outside came in and reported: The director of the Palme Bay Merchant Group asked to see Commander Suldak.
Suldak walked to the door of the tent, and saw a well-dressed businessman standing in front of the tent.
The businessman is wearing a pair of brown breeches and riding boots on the lower body, a white linen shirt and a leather vest on the upper body, his hair and beard are neatly groomed, and he looks capable and shrewd.
"Hello, Sir Suldak, I am Dirk, the director of the Palme Gulf Merchant Group, Dirk Krydon."
He bent down to Suldak and said respectfully.
"Come in, Mr. Dirk."
Suldak nodded to him. He is the commander of this coalition army, and he doesn't need to be too friendly when facing these businessmen.
But since Mr. Dirk's business group was the first to arrive at the gate of the barracks, and he was also the first businessman to visit, Suldak decided to give him some preferential treatment.
