Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Bad Premonition
The food of the soldiers on weekdays is very good, and there is often meat to eat when they are full, and there is a medical camp for the injured and sick.
The bereavement pensions given to the soldiers who died in the war were also very generous, land, money, and bereavements for their families were enough for them to die without worries.
The disabled soldier Chen Yan will not let them have no way out, and if they have the ability to work, the Dang Capture Army will arrange some easy jobs for them, which is more than enough to support themselves and their families.
If he is unable to work, the army will pay for it, including providing for his parents and raising them to adulthood.
Although it cost a lot, Chen Yan gained the absolute loyalty of the entire Swinging Army!
In addition, Chen Yan often trained with the soldiers, ate and lived together, and taught the soldiers to learn to read and write......
During the war, at the end of each battle, he would appear in the camp of wounded soldiers to comfort the wounded soldiers.
There are many such small details, and it is these small details that have established Chen Yan's unshakable prestige and influence in the Dangling Army.
Of course, strict military law is also essential!
punishing soldiers who violate military law, Chen Yan has never shown mercy.
Even if he himself violates military law in the army, he must be punished in accordance with military law!
Chen Yan was once punished with 20 lashes by himself, which was really beaten, and Chen Yan, who was in pain, did not dare to lie down and sleep for several days, but it was also through his own demonstration that he established the authoritative position of military law that cannot be offended.
Because Chen Yan knew that no matter how loyal the Dang Capture Army was to him, if his combat effectiveness was not good, it would still be useless!
Strict military law and absolute discipline are the most basic things to ensure the combat effectiveness of an army.
Xu Bao scratched his head, looked at Chen Yan and said with some embarrassment.
"Metropolitan Governor, I want a mother-in-law!"
Xu Bao smiled innocently.
"I can't give this to you, you have to chase it yourself, but if you fall in love with a girl from any family, I can give you a match."
"If you're looking at the Xixia girls, grab it yourself with a knife!"
Chen Yan patted Xu Bao's shoulder and smiled.
"Hahaha......"
The crowd laughed and made a mess.
"However, this robbery is a joke, don't really go, military law is not forgiving, if you really want it, you can consider spending money to buy one to go home."
Chen Yan saw that Xu Bao was a little unusual, and hurriedly added.
Military law cannot be violated, no matter who violates military law, as long as it violates military law, it will be punished!
Even Chen Yan himself has been whipped twenty lashes, who else dares to say that he is an exception?!
……
On the second day, the sun had just risen and the sky had just brightened, and the Western Xia army launched another attack on Zhehe City.
Tens of thousands of Western Xia troops attacked Zhehe City in a mighty way, but they turned into a cold corpse and fell in a pool of blood.
The momentum of the Dang captivity army is like a rainbow, it is still strong, and the Western Xia army is not far behind, the war drums are ringing, and the two armies are fighting together!
Throughout the day, the Western Xia army launched several attacks, and it was not until sunset that the troops were withdrawn!
The entire city seemed to be stained red with blood, and the walls were covered with blood, and the city walls were densely covered with a layer of corpses.
On the third day, as if agreed, the two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle, one side attacking the city and the other defending the city, trying to kill the enemy with all their might.
It's just that the morale of today's Western Xia army is far less strong than the previous two days!
The intensity of the attack also became much smaller, and he had no choice but to retreat after leaving countless corpses.
After a few days of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Western Xia army were at least nearly 10,000 people, and it was very normal for the morale of the army to be low.
In the big tent of the Western Xia Army, Richard Geha sat in the first place and said nothing, and below him, several generals of the Western Xia Army quarreled with each other.
"Brother Yeli Rong, Ren Dejing, my brothers have suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle for several days, shouldn't the army from your royal city go up to the main attack and let my brothers withdraw and rest and rest?"
The general of the Songxia border army, Hedecha said with a glare.
"That is, my brothers have suffered heavy losses, and you should also go to the top of the royal city, why should we fight alone, you enjoy the credit in vain?!"
The general of the Xia-Liao border army, Thorn Huade, is also in line with the Tao.
"Fart, your men are foot soldiers, and our men are cavalry, can't we use cavalry to attack the city?"
Brother Yeli Rong retorted.
"Don't you have five thousand steps under your hands? Let them go, why should our brothers gnaw hard bones? ”
Thornflower said.
"Bubazi are not used to siege cities, they are field weapons that cannot be consumed in this kind of thing."
Ren Dejing's tone was very calm, as if he was telling a fact.
", then you mean that our brothers can be consumed at will?!"
"What do you mean, why don't you want to?!"
Thorn Flower De and Hedecha exploded almost at the same time, jumped up and pointed to Ren Dejing's nose and said.
"Marshal, you give us a comment, is this bullying our border army brother too much?"
Together, the two set their eyes on Richard Goha, who was sitting at the top of the seat.
Richard Geha rubbed his eyebrows, he really can't say anything about this kind of thing, it's not right to favor either side, it can only be with the mud.
"In this way, I will let Bu Bazi send a group of people into the border army, how about attacking the city with the border army tomorrow?"
Richard said.
"Handsome and wise!"
A group of people had no choice but to accept such an outcome.
Just then, a herald ran in from outside.
"Report to the marshal, those brothers who went to the major nearby tribes to ask for Han slaves have returned."
"What, where are the people? How much is it going to be? ”
Richard said with some excitement.
"Tell the marshal, the people are waiting outside, and they want to get three thousand Han slaves."
The herald said.
Richard Geha took a deep breath and knew that the turning point was coming, maybe he could really force Chen Yan to go out of the city and fight with him.
……
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the Western Xia army poured out of the camp and walked towards Zhehe City, setting up a posture and preparing for the siege.
However, they did not immediately start the siege, the army formation parted, and a Western Xia cavalry jumped out.
A team of ragged, unkempt slaves was escorted out!
A Western Xia sergeant rode his horse to the city of Zhehe, and shouted loudly to the city.
"My handsome family invites you all to come out and watch a good show!"
"Our commander invites you all to come out and watch a good show!"
“……”
After repeating this several times, the horse returned to the Western Xia army.
Chen Yan stood at the head of the city, frowning slightly, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Xixia Army, if you don't attack the city today, what kind of moth are you doing? !
Chen Yan's gaze looked into the distance, and suddenly his eyebrows jumped.
The group of slaves......
I don't know why, seeing the group of slaves who were pressed and kneeling on the ground, Chen Yan felt a little inexplicably serious.
A bad premonition rose in his heart!
