Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

The cavalry of the Great Zhou and the Hu people used similar attack methods. In the first charge, they used the speed of their warhorses to unleash superhuman strength and cut through the enemy ranks.

The six Hu riders were so shocked by Lu Xiao's actions during the first charge that they forgot to harvest their kills as they passed Fang Dahu and the other new recruits.

Therefore, they charged far ahead and had to calm their frightened warhorses, resulting in considerable chaos.

After all, this was the first time they had encountered someone who dared to forcibly block cavalry and succeed in doing so as infantry!

Zhou Daxing seized the opportunity and chased after them together with Huang Shan.

They were more experienced in dealing with the Hu people than most of the people present, and since the Hu people were terrified, the battle ended quickly.

The two men each dragged back the head of a Hu person and two warhorses.

Zhou Daxing looked deeply at Lu Xiao, his unusual expression filled with approval, but his words were laced with anger:

"Why didn't you listen to my orders and launched an attack without my permission?"

"Reporting to the sergeant, I believe that since the odds are against us, only those with a do-or-die spirit can survive!"

Lu Xiao quickly clasped his hands in a salute, bowed his head, and responded loudly.

On horseback, Zhou Daxing was about to say something when Huang Shan beside him chuckled and laughed, urging him to stop:

"Old Zhou, when you first went to the battlefield and encountered the Hu people, could you have performed like Lu Xiao?"

"How come I remember you were so scared that you peed your pants?"

"Alright, alright, in that situation just now, Lu Xiao's choice was the most correct. Otherwise, even if we had driven away those barbarians, we probably would have still lost a few new recruits."

"Don't scare him."

After saying that, he winked at Lu Xiao, indicating that there was no need to worry about Zhou Daxing settling scores later.

Sure enough, Zhou Daxing's expression quickly softened, and after nodding to Lu Xiao, he said:

"Back then, there was a guy who disobeyed orders just like you are today, and in the end, he was left with nothing but bones!"

"This must not happen again!"

"Here you go!"

Lu Xiao clasped his hands in a fist salute again, feeling a warmth in his heart despite being criticized.

He understood that Zhou Daxing was concerned for his life and death, and that his sudden outburst of anger was due to past events.

After a short rest, Zhou Daxing waved his hand and handed a captured warhorse to Lu Xiao to ride, then led everyone back to the White Wolf outpost.

On the way, Huang Shan walked side by side with Lu Xiao and explained the specific details of what happened back then.

This brought the two sides much closer.

When they returned to the White Wolf outpost, the Hu people's raid had ended. Zhou Daxing and Huang Shan left the new recruits in the barracks immediately.

Fortunately, there were quite a few veterans resting here, and Lu Xiao and his group learned the basic rules after being instructed by them.

In peacetime, everyone trains or patrols under the leadership of their respective squad leaders to strengthen the border defenses. When war breaks out, they immediately go to the front line, with no choice but to retreat!

Just as everyone was wondering which squad leader they would be assigned to, Zhou Daxing and Huang Shan returned, but leading the way was still the centurion, whose armor was stained with blood.

Seeing everyone stand up, Zhou Daxing pointed to his brother-in-law and introduced him:

"This is Lord Luo Yangluo, the centurion of our White Wolf outpost. He is in charge of all affairs, large and small, in the army and has ten squad leaders under his command."

"In my Great Zhou army, five men form a squad, ten men form a platoon, and above that are centurions, chiliarchs..."

"Our White Wolf Outpost is just a basic establishment. In addition to the personnel mentioned earlier, there are also clerks, messengers, and so on, totaling one hundred and twenty-one people."

"You don't need to figure out all the staffing now, because there will be plenty of time later."

After saying that, he stepped back and gave up the main seat.

Lu Xiao and the other new recruits were immediately excited because they were about to face the question of their future.

Sure enough, after scanning the room, Luo Yang said loudly:

"Squad Leader Huang, take these new recruits to the various squads to replenish manpower."

"Lu Xiao and Fang Dahu, step forward!"

"Here you go!"

The two exchanged a glance, and Fang Dahu was a little curious as to why the centurion had singled them out for a separate talk.

The other veterans also cast puzzled glances in their direction.

Luo Yang asked:

"I heard that you single-handedly killed the Hu man and his warhorse?"

"yes!"

Lu Xiao responded loudly.

Immediately afterward, Luo Yang nodded:

"According to the military law of our Great Zhou, the reward for killing one barbarian is two taels of silver, and the reward for killing two barbarians is five taels of silver and the position of squad leader."

"Fang Dahu, Li Erniu, Zhang Fulu, Zhong Wei, where are you all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three veterans from a nearby area stepped forward.

Lu Xiao noticed that they still had some unhealed wounds on their faces.

Luo Yang raised his hand and pointed:

"From this day forward, Lu Xiao will be your squad leader. Any objections?"

"No!"

Fang Dahu, needless to say, was instructed by the village chief to do whatever Lu Xiao told him to do at the outpost. Now that he was assigned to the same squad, he was overjoyed.

The other three veterans nodded slightly to Lu Xiao and then turned and returned to their barracks.

After finishing the business, Luo Yang looked at Lu Xiao again:

"Your due five taels of silver will be delivered by the clerk shortly."

"That captured warhorse should have been given to you, but the outpost is short of food and clothing, so I have decided to send it to the Polu Camp in a few days to exchange for some food."

"They need warhorses more than we do."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded in understanding, but there was still one thing he didn't understand:

"My lord, I only personally killed one barbarian. The other two were either killed by Fang Dahu and his comrades or by the two squad leaders. Why should one of them be blamed on me?"

Luo Yang laughed upon hearing this:

"Squad Leader Zhou and Squad Leader Huang have already reported the details of what happened. They frankly said that if it weren't for your shot that shocked the Hu people, some of the new recruits present might not have seen me again."

"This is a reward for you."

After saying that, he turned to Zhou Daxing and said:

"Lu Xiao's squad will be placed under your command, since you only have one squad left."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Zhou Daxing immediately thanked him with a smile, and when his eyes met Lu Xiao's, he nodded to himself.

As soon as Luo Yang left, he patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder:

"These next two days, you should lead your soldiers in training and coordination. If you have any questions, you can ask those three, or come directly to me."

"Alright, I have to take my men out on patrol now, so I won't say any more."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Daxing!"

Lu Xiao's expression of gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that if Zhou Daxing told Luo Yang about his disobedience, he might still get the five taels of silver as a reward, but he could forget about the position of squad leader.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daxing paused, then resumed his steps.

"I hope you live up to my trust!"
