Chapter 352: Reward
You've all listened to me, and I'll just say it once. ”
After the three-way assembly snare drum is beaten. At this time, there is a general in front of each team who is giving a pre-battle lecture.
"This time, Lord Tutong has already issued an order, regardless of the casualties, they must attack Ma'anshan. The Overseers behind you are watching you, you are dead on the Overseers, the Overseers are dead, the generals are up. If you dare to take a step back, you will be killed. ”
"So no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, you must finish it. was killed by the explosion, and blamed himself for his bad luck. ”
"Of course, in addition to this order, there are benefits waiting for you. Lord Dutong said, as long as you can attack Ma'anshan and kill an enemy, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver; Kill two, reward twelve taels; Kill three, and reward twenty taels of silver; Kill four, reward thirty taels of silver... Real money, no deductions. ”
"So, my lord, what if you can kill five or six?" Hearing that there was a rich reward for killing the enemy, many of the green battalion soldiers who were still holding bitter gourd faces became enthusiastic.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't interrupt me, listen to what I'm going to say. The tame general unceremoniously knocked the green battalion soldier who dared to interrupt him.
"Oh, well, the little one knows it's wrong. Adult, please continue. I saw that the green battalion soldier hurriedly lowered his head, as if he knew his mistake.
"Just as the anxious little brother asked just now, what if I can kill the fifth or sixth thief? The latter is counted in increments of two taels for each kill.
"That is to say, if you kill the fifth thief, you will get twelve taels. Including the four you killed earlier, you can get a total of forty-two taels. And if you can kill the sixth thief, you will get fourteen taels. Including the five you killed earlier, you will get fifty-six taels of silver. ”
"That is, the more you kill, the more you get. If only you were able to kill ten thieves. Then I want to congratulate you, Lord Tutong promised to personally guarantee you to the imperial court and the emperor, and ensure that you enter and carry the flag. From now on, you will be the banner people. ”
……
As soon as the words of the general fell, it instantly caused an uproar among the green battalion soldiers below, and they immediately began to discuss.
"You say, is this true? …”
"I don't know, but it's not easy to rush forward, and I have to kill so many people..."
"Didn't you just say that? Those who can't rush up can only complain about their bad lives, and if they rush up, they can't kill the thieves. I can only say that you have no ability, and you deserve to be killed by the thief..."
"That's it, I think, this thief is just a bunch of soft eggs who hide and shoot guns, and those who really have the ability are those who dare to pick up a knife and fight to the death. I'm a knife to a softie...," a voice boasted.
"Just you? Come on, you can kill two at most, and you can earn twelve taels..."Another voice struck him.
"If you have more, you will only have one, oh, that is, the meaning of five taels of silver will be called you in the future, Liu 5 taels will have it..."
"Haha..."
"Laugh, laugh what laugh... You wait, you want a man who kills ten, and in the future, you will wait to call me Uncle Qiren! Hmph..."
"Well... Good... I'll call you Master Banner now, okay! Haha..."
"Hmph..."In the face of everyone's teasing, the boasting man snorted coldly.
……
I have to say that the words of the general instantly enlivened the atmosphere.
The team, which was originally lifeless, suddenly rose in morale after hearing about the various rewards.
With the hope of rewards, the pressure of the previous war was instantly relieved, and at the moment, few cared about whether they could attack Ma'anshan, or how much danger there was in the past. More people only care about whether they can take the silver and carry the flag.
Compared to the silver obtained from killing the enemy, you can enter the flag carrying and being a flag bearer, which is really too attractive to these green battalion soldiers.
After all, as long as you can enter the flag and become a flag person, you can eat iron crops, and your children and grandchildren can enjoy the benefits of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if it is only the Han Army Flag in the Eight Banners, the identity is the most humble, which is enough to make them yearn for it.
"Brother Ma, how many do you think you can kill?" Influenced by the people around him who are emotionally charged and talkative. At this moment, Hong Zhen also asked Ma Wu emotionally.
"Brother, if only I had this morning. If you ask that, I'm sure I'm going to tell you I'm going to kill ten. But for now, I just hope I'll survive this attack. I've already experienced two brushes with death, and I don't dare to ask how good my luck can be, I just hope that my life will not be extinguished. Ma Wu replied in a low voice.
"Brother Ma, are you too frustrated to say that?" Hong Zhen, who was splashed with cold water by Ma Wu, said disapprerovingly.
"Brother, you don't understand, you can follow me when necessary, maybe I can save your life. Don't think about rushing forward and killing as many thieves as you want. If you can survive the battlefield, you will be a strong man. At this time, Ma Wu said earnestly like a person who had seen through everything.
"Like you? Hong Zhen was a little puzzled.
But looking at the surroundings, all of them are motivated by those rewards, like people who have been beaten with chicken blood. Hong Zhen felt that Ma Wu was a little too cautious, and even he felt that Ma Wu was frightened by the artillery fire.
How can this soldier who does not dare to rush up and kill people fight?
Hong Zhen couldn't help but think that it was too hasty to recognize Ma Wu as a soft egg as a big brother. So, I saw that he moved a few steps away from Ma Wu, so that Ma Wu would hold him when he charged, otherwise he would rush up to kill the enemy and get a reward.
……
"Boom... Boom... Boom"
At this time, the drums of war that urged the army forward sounded again.
No matter what kind of mood the people below have, when the war drums sound, it means that the military order is issued, and people have to move forward.
The Qing army attacking Ma'anshan this time was divided into two route armies, southwest and southeast, to attack at the same time.
The Qing armies on both routes were the same, led by the green battalion.
Each formation of the Green Battalion is about 2,000 people, divided into six formations. Each team is more than ten feet apart and scattered.
The ranks seem to come one after another, stretching for more than a mile.
If it is said that the difference between the Qing army on the southwest road and the southeast road is that the main strength of the southwest army behind the green battalion is cavalry, with about 10,000 cavalry. Then there were the armoured soldiers, numbering about three thousand.
On the southeast road, on the other hand, the main force behind the Green Battalion was the armored soldiers, numbering about 7,000. The cavalry was only three thousand.
Both armies were led by the Green Battalion, followed by cavalry and overseers, and finally by armoured soldiers.
The entire line was nearly two miles away, and everything seemed to be waiting for the Green Battalion as the vanguard to attack Ma'anshan and fight with the battle on Ma'anshan.
