Chapter 441: Reaching the Frontier
Thousands of miles of ice, snow and white.
As soon as Cheng An led the army into the northern frontier, the soldiers were shivering with cold.
"Master, do we have to slow down the process, otherwise, even if we rush over, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to war immediately!"
Most of the troops brought by Cheng An this time have never been to the bitter cold land of the frontier.
There are even many children of officials and eunuchs who are pampered and have never participated in wars, not to mention whether they can lead troops to fight, even if they can't adapt to the climate.
In the past two days, many people have begun to discuss in private, trying to find a relationship and escape.
Cheng An's was clear about this, but he still shook his head, "Even if you walk slowly and let them get used to it, do you dare to guarantee that after they arrive at the battlefield, they won't run away!" ”
Instead of running away on the battlefield, let them run away on the way!
Ning Ze thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll order it immediately!" ”
Cheng An gave an order, and under the fierce storm and snow, the army continued to move forward.
Ning Ze stayed by Cheng An's side, and did not forget to observe the people below.
Sure enough, another day passed, and the people below complained.
"Can we succeed as a general, in my opinion, it is either from the famous generals, or those second-generation officials in the capital who have the ability to recruit cats and dogs, some are. Our general won't also crumble with white dough! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! In my opinion, I will not lead troops to fight at all, and I know how to rush forward along the way, and I always have a cold face. I think he obviously has no real skills, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to talk to us more! ”
"This is about to go to the battlefield, if it's a white dough, then it will kill us people, my wife is still waiting for me to go back and pass on the ancestry!"
Ay!
Speaking of war, people have lowered their heads and morale is low.
Ning Ze saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
I wanted to speak several times, but I was stopped by Cheng An's gaze.
Another day passed, and it was already close to the frontier.
Cheng An ordered the army to rest for a day before marching.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and a fire broke out in Cheng'an's camp.
The firelight reflected the dark sky, Cheng An's dark and bright eyes looked out, and shouted, "The enemy is coming, and there is no armor left!" ”
"Kill!"
Everyone shouted together, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Many of the eunuchs looked at the burning fire and the deafening sound, and their legs trembled with fright.
"Brothers, what shall we do?" A soldier with a weapon in his hand, his body trembling uncontrollably, his voice trembling.
The other soldier glared at him fiercely, "When is it, and you're still talking nonsense!" ”
The two of you look at me, and I look at you, but they are not passive at all, but their legs are uncontrollable, running in the direction of no one.
Where there is a first, there is a second.
Seeing the backs of the two of them fleeing in the wilderness, many officials and eunuchs looked at each other and made the same decision.
The firelight reflected the sky, illuminating the dark night.
Cheng An has a handsome face and a calm look.
His eyes were as deep and cold as a cold pool, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a bloodthirsty smile.
"Good, good!"
Ning Ze stood aside and saw the handsome side of his master, and couldn't help but shudder.
In my heart, I silently planted two sticks of incense for those soldiers who escaped.
There is no shame in being hurt, but running away is ...... Unforgivable.
"Alright, that's it!"
Cheng An gave an order, and those who came from the sneak attack took the initiative to put down their weapons, and even ran over to extinguish the fire in the sky.
The soldiers brought by Cheng An were stunned and at a loss.
Some smart people reacted, looked at Cheng An with complicated eyes, and then glanced at the direction in which the soldiers who had just escaped fled.
A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers assembled.
Cheng An stood in the crowd to use internal force, and his voice was loud, "It was just a drill, but some people's performance made me very disappointed." Before they could go to the battlefield, they had already fled! ”
He was holding a weapon in his hand, and then he saw his wrist move slightly, and the weapon was inserted directly into the big tree next to him.
What the?
The soldiers couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The man-thick tree was pierced by the weapon.
All the contempt, hostility and disdain of the original are gone, and only respect and jealousy remain.
"Everyone, listen, I brought you from the capital, hoping to bring you back alive, so I traveled day and night to hone your willpower and exercise your physical strength at the same time, but obviously some people disappointed me!"
Cheng An struck his hands together to make a sound.
Ning Ze led people up to the people who had just escaped.
"Look, I came to the frontier to defend my country and protect the people of the world, but they ......" Cheng An's eyes swept over the deserters with contempt, "These people fled before they arrived at the battlefield!" I'll send someone to send them back! ”
"Now give you one last chance, if anyone doesn't want to go to the battlefield, I will send you back safely, I will do what I say, and I will never break my word! If you want to go back, please come forward! ”
Cheng An's voice was extremely clear.
When the people below hear it, you look at me, and I look at it.
There was an uproar for a moment.
"Send us back, what do you think?"
"What do you think? I haven't figured it out yet! ”
"What do you think, General, I will go to war with you to defend my home and country! As a man, you should protect your family and defend the country and make a career! Desertion, that's a bad thing! ”
"Yes! We did underestimate the general in the past, but from now on, we must be the leader of the general! ”
No matter what other people think, the two gentlemen who used to recruit cats and dogs in the capital will deal with it like this.
The two of them spoke in a light tone, like frivolous people, but the words that should be said were exciting.
Before the two of them spoke, many people echoed on the side.
"We are here to protect our family and defend the country, what is it to go back like this, we will definitely be looked down upon when we go back!"
"Death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, even if there is no one guarding the frontier, we don't have a good life, it's better to fight!"
“……”
The time for a cup of tea passed, and no one took the initiative to come forward and ask to go back.
Cheng An is very satisfied with this.
But......
His eyes swept towards everyone with a sharp eye, "Since everyone chooses to stay, then they will be my brothers in the future, and they will be able to give their backs to each other on the battlefield, but the ugly words are ahead, if anyone dares to escape from the battle, they will not be spared!" ”
The last four words are sonorous and powerful.
The people below couldn't help but shudder.
And even began to regret the impassioned words he had just made.
When Ning Ze saw his master, he was full of awe-inspiring momentum and admiration.
He was originally worried that some people would flee on the battlefield, which would not only be humiliating, but also affect morale, but now it seems completely redundant.
"Kill ......"
Loud voices sounded all around, and Ning Ze rejoiced.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I really wanted to pat Cheng An's ass well.
