While the other countries were biding their time, Du Qi's camp had more than two thousand deserters. These two thousand deserters had all secretly left the camp last night and gathered outside Du Qi's camp to ask for their allegiance.
Compared to hundreds of thousands of people, the departure of only two thousand soldiers was really insignificant.
Therefore, these two thousand people were actually very few in number.
Du Qi's camp layout was also carefully selected. The terrain behind the camp was open, but there were hills not far from the open area in front of the camp.
The hills on both sides were two highlands.
The highlands on both sides and the camp could form a triangular formation. In this way, it was equivalent to a triangular formation. As long as one side was attacked, the other two would be able to provide support.
When Du Qi received the news that the soldiers had come to seek refuge, he quickly calculated in his mind.
It was a good thing that people came to seek refuge.
However, if there were people mixed in, it might not be a good thing. Du Qi's thoughts turned, and he immediately had an idea. He immediately arranged for the soldiers to bring the two thousand soldiers who had pledged their allegiance to the camp.
The two thousand soldiers who had pledged their allegiance stood neatly in the drill ground.
Their faces were full of anticipation.
Du Qi personally came to the drill ground under the escort of Mordor. His gaze swept across the group of people in front of him. These two thousand soldiers were all young and strong, but they were rather thin and weak. After all, they were the lowest common people. In front of the Brahmin and Kshatriya races, such a group of people was incomparably lowly and were not valued at all.
It was good enough to be alive.
It was enough to be alive and to be able to kill the enemy!
Du Qi did not immediately open the door. Instead, he instructed his personal guard to inform the soldiers in the kitchen and have them immediately send food over. It was early in the morning. In the morning, the army's breakfast was mainly steamed buns, steamed buns, and porridge.
This was Du Qi's meal in the army.
After all, the army did not need to eat dry rations, so they prepared this kind of food. Although these foods were rare in Tianzhu, the citizens of Tianzhu who were in the military gradually fell in love with these foods after eating buns and steamed buns.
Because it was far better than their food.
Du Qi ordered people to distribute the steamed buns, steamed buns, and porridge. Only then did Du Qi open his mouth and say, "You must have escaped last night. You must not have eaten yet, so eat first. It won't be too late to talk after you've filled your stomach. "
When the group of soldiers heard this, they were all extremely excited.
They were all very excited.
They fled last night because they believed Du Qi's words, but at the same time, they were gambling that Du Qi would not lie to them. Now that they had arrived at Du Qi's camp, Du Qi didn't say much. He first arranged for someone to bring them food, which made them feel at ease.
When the first person ate a bun, the greasy taste in his mouth made the soldier widen his eyes in disbelief.
Delicious!
It was too delicious!
The people of this era lacked meat and fish in their main topics.
Many people in the future pursued vegetable buns, but the soldiers of this era all lacked meat. They couldn't wait to have their mouths full of oil. That was the best.
The soldiers tasted the food one by one. They ate with incomparable joy and excitement.
It didn't take long for everyone to finish their meal.
Now that they were confident, they looked at Du Qi with even more gratitude and trust than before. Not to mention anything else, Du Qi's current arrangement made them feel comfortable.
At this time, Du Qi looked at the more than two thousand soldiers and said, "Now that you've eaten and drunk to your heart's content, you're energetic. So now, I'll say something. "
Pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi.
They were all looking at Du Qi.
Du Qi continued, "I'm very happy that you've submitted to me, because your backbones haven't been bent by the Brahmin and Kshatriya people. You still want to stand up, straighten your chest, and fight for a future for yourself and your family. So, you can still be saved. But now that you've submitted, it'll be difficult for you to fight side by side with my soldiers. "
"Why do you say that?"
"First, you haven't received the training of my soldiers, so you can't advance and retreat with the soldiers in the army. So, if I throw you into the army now and reorganize you into the army, it'll be inappropriate, and it'll easily disrupt the current rhythm. "
"Second, you don't have enough fighting strength now. Look at all of you, you're all rather thin and weak. Soldiers like you can't kill the enemy on the battlefield other than stopping them. Instead, you'll easily lose your lives. The people under my command, as long as they're my soldiers, are all precious. They can't die at will. "
Du Qi spoke frankly and with assurance, "So, you don't need to go to the battlefield in the future. But I know that you hate the Brahmin and Kshatriya people to the bone, and you're all incomparably jealous. If I don't let you do anything, you'll definitely feel that you're useless in your heart. So, I'll give you a chance to arrange things for you. "
"Your Majesty, please arrange things!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Your Majesty, please arrange things!"
"Your Majesty, please arrange things!"
…
More and more soldiers began to speak loudly. These soldiers who escaped from the armies of the southern countries were bought over by Du Qi's kindness of a meal, and all of them listened to Du Qi.
In particular, Du Qi's words, which were always considerate of them, moved many soldiers.
All of them shouted loudly.
Du Qi raised his hand, and when everyone quieted down, Du Qi continued, "Your next task is very simple. At night, all of you will spread out and surround the allied army's camp. Beat the drums and pretend to attack and harass, making it look like you're trying to harass them. You don't need to fight. You just need to beat the drums at night so that the soldiers of the other countries can't rest well. Are you confident about this task? "
"No problem!"
Another soldier in the crowd spoke up.
As someone spoke, more and more people began to shout. More and more people shouted, and their voices echoed in the Drill Ground. Because the strategy of attacking at night and feigning an attack was very simple. In any case, they just had to beat the drums and not let the enemy rest well. Once the army in the camp really wanted to kill their way out, they could just withdraw and there wouldn't be any problems.
After Du Qi made the arrangements, he finally said, "All of you will stay together for the time being. Don't mess around."
"Xue Rengui, you're in charge of the arrangements."
Du Qi's gaze turned to Xue Rengui, who had also come to watch. After assigning the tasks, he left. Xue Rengui was rather helpless and could only follow Du Qi's arrangements.
Moreover, Xue Rengui was extremely impressed with Du Qi's arrangements. In truth, Xue Rengui wasn't very confident in this group of soldiers who had come to surrender because Xue Rengui was worried that some of them would deliberately mix in to cause trouble.
Du Qi had gathered these people together so that it would be easier to manage them.
This made things easier.
