Chapter 423: Faith in Victory
The battle has entered the white heat, and the hearts of all people inside and outside the battlefield involuntarily rise and fall with the subtle changes in the battlefield, or lamenting or cheering, or beating their chests for the loss of an opportunity on one side, or cheering for a momentary grasp of one side.
This is a spectacle of the battlefield, not only in a small military area of 500 soldiers, dare to block the gate of a city in the Ming Empire, the strange place is not that this mere 500 soldiers will become a fortress overnight and stand, nor is it strange that with only 500 soldiers to fight against the Ming Empire's more than fifteen times the number of the brave army of the township, and there is also a sign and not defeated. Qi is not the only 500 soldiers, in the face of ten times the official army but do not ask for help from any allies, Qi is not only not asking for help, but also resolutely refuses the initiative of the allies to support, but Qi is in the official and bandit battle, but there are no less than ten forces outside the battlefield Tanma representatives are watching the battle, and they are not expelled by both sides.
The reason why the army did not expel them was because they wanted to invite them to watch the battle but could not, they took the initiative to come, just to show them the strong combat effectiveness and strong will to fight, so that these just attached wall grass firm confidence, tell them that the army is daring to fight and must be invincible, this base area must also be truly placed under the leadership of the king of Chuang, so that those people watching the battle know that the army would rather fight to the death with outnumbered enemies in order for them not to be harmed by officials and soldiers who are worse than bandits. in exchange for their peace and peace. Let those who are still half-hearted see their strong military power, and don't expect to take and seize this land.
The officials and soldiers did not expel them, and they also had the same thoughts, so that those landlords who were committed to serving the thieves could see the determination of the officials and soldiers to suppress the bandits, not to collude with the thieves, and let those mud-legged poor sticks know that this world is still the world of us officials, and the thieves will not be able to do it in the long run.
More than a dozen forces watching the battle on the top of the mountain began to watch the battle carefully without incident, scoring all parties in their hearts, but slowly began to appear in their own hearts, constantly cheering for their own inclined side, regretting a mistake on their side, and cheering for a victory on their side, which of course caused the dissatisfaction of the other side, so they slowly went from verbal arguments to mutual abuse, until finally divided into two groups with clear distinctions, and carried out physical collisions to finally stage a full martial arts.
The battle under the mountain was tragic and tragic, and the mountain was also in full swing, and the lively momentum was no less than the head-to-head confrontation under the mountain, or it could be the real morale of the people, or it could be affected by the battle situation on their own side under the mountain, and in the end, it turned out to be a big victory for the cheerleaders who supported the army, and the relatively small number of cheerleaders won a big victory. This is just like the fans of the two teams on the football field in later generations, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is not scored, and the fans off the field have seen each other shirtless, cheering for their football team, and firmly believe that their football team is the best and will definitely win in the end. The cheers of the victorious cheerleaders overshadowed the screams on the battlefield and reached the fortresses, which gave absolute encouragement to the already exhausted invading army, and the killing of the enemy became even more ferocious.
The last person to come to the battlefield was the elite deputy of the cottage with two thousand gusts of wind, who ambushed his team in a distant valley, and then rushed to the battlefield with a few relatives to watch the battle.
The deputy who didn't stick to the mud was very puzzled, the king of Chuang had also seen it, and he always had a peaceful smile, and he had been speaking so quietly and softly, for fear that his loud voice would frighten others, no matter when, even the most humble slave brought a glass of insignificant white water, the quiet king of Chuang had to get up, and said softly with a grateful smile on his face: "Thank you." ”
That smile is by no means a fake, that thank you is absolutely sincere, but how can such a person bring out such a strong, so tenacious, so contemptuous of life and death, so willing to die generously for the benefit and survival of the whole group? This made the deputy of a gust of wind puzzled, and he really didn't understand.
Dare to fight and die generously is definitely not a concept, absolutely not.
Looking at the last ladder being pushed down by the thieves, looking at the layers of Xiangyong's corpses under the fortress illuminated by the torches, and looking at the exhausted brothers, Zhang Yuan and Qianhu looked at each other helplessly, and sighed: "Give the order, Lord Qianhu, replace this wave of brothers." ”
Ganquan Qianhu nodded, and ordered the herald to sound the gong to collect the troops, the crisp sound of the gong was as melodious as an amnesty order, and the villagers like a general amnesty poured back to Ganquan City like a tidal tide, and no one cared about their robes who were still wailing and screaming under the fortress city, they were abandoned on the battlefield like that, and they were left to fend for themselves.
Xiang Yong desperately escaped from that hell, when he arrived at his own battle formation, one by one was paralyzed on the ground as if he had been sucked away from his bones, and he didn't get up again, he counted the number of people, 1,800 on the battlefield, and less than 1,000 people came back, that is to say, in this short two hours, he lost 800 Xiang Yong even with his own death and injury, even with the afternoon one, now Zhang Yuan has lost more than half, Zhang Yuan does not feel sorry for the cheap lives of those Xiang Yong, people can be recruited from the new when they die, in this turbulent era, what is not lacking is human life, as long as they have money and food, With the support of the government and the court, he will immediately recover his strength, and the distressing thing is that he has lost a few of his cronies and children this time, which are all his own team in the future. But fortunately, this time, a group of village warriors who had seen blood were trained, and at the cost of those blood and lives, they let themselves and all their cronies learn things that cannot be learned in books.
The thousand households once again arranged these thousand veterans (considered veterans, this is relative to those newcomers who have not yet been on the battlefield) to return to the city, and then selected 300 as the backbone of the original veterans who went to the city to rest, and sent all the 2,000 villagers who did not go to the battlefield in the end, and all the signatories were also sent to carry out the final blow.
"Success or failure depends on this time, victory is a big victory, and you have also trained a strong army." Qianhu said to Zhang Yuan.
"Defeat has also trained me a strong army." Zhang Yuan also said, "But I firmly believe that the enemy has no strength, and there are not so many soldiers to protect other places, so I firmly believe that under the double blow of our car ** battle and sneak attack, we will definitely win the battle." ”
"I'm convinced of that too."
All are convinced that their side will emerge as the ultimate victor, both on and off the battlefield.
The sound of the gong of the enemy's collection is like the sound of amnesty for the township warriors, and for Cao Meng, who is already exhausted, is it not? The enemy retreated like a tide, and Cao Meng and all his brothers sat down on their butts, unwilling to move.
The captain of the sergeant squad who never forgot to advocate the absolute idol in his mind at any time said proudly to the people around him: "This is thanks to the power of the spear invented by King Chuang, which saves a lot of physical strength for the brothers, otherwise, if they all take turns to cut with a big knife, don't say that they have persevered until now, even if they are tired, everyone will be tired to death, where can we still hold on to the present, why do you say that our king is so god?" It seems to be an ordinary change, but at the most critical time, it has exerted a unique great power and change, or our king is a god descending from heaven. ”
His words struck an immediate chord. "That's it, that's it, our king is really amazing, not only is the gun easy to use and effortless, but even this double rattan armor is so magical, two pieces before and after, the front and back can be disassembled, it can be protected in wartime, and it can be used as a rattan card when guarding, so it just solves the shortcomings of our spear team, not a spear and a shield in one hand, so that our spear team can become a force that can defend. This kind of thing is something that King Chuang can think of. ”
"Yes, yes." Everyone echoed together, and the feeling of nervousness and fatigue was relieved a lot for a while.
In fact, this rattan armor was thought up by Lu Shi, but this rattan armor was divided into two halves but it was not his idea, that was the last time Wu Tao fought in the Zhao family, he found that his spearmen were invincible when they were fighting, but there was a fatal shortcoming when attacking the city and confronting them, that is, the spearmen needed to hold them together to exert the maximum lethality due to the long length of the spear, but in this way, they could not free up their hands to take a shield to resist the enemy's bow and arrow shooting, although there was a double rattan helmet protection, but there would also be loopholes, Especially when attacking the city, this shortcoming is even more prominent, the army can not always be in the field without attacking the city, it is not an all-weather army (military division quotations) but it is indeed a burden to equip the spearmen with a shield, in a desperate situation, Wu Tao had an idea, and came up with this method, the rattan armor behind the soldier is enlarged, and it becomes a shield that can be disassembled instantly. Immediately at the meeting in the base area, everyone unanimously agreed, and immediately asked the old people who prepared the rattan armor to try to make it, and as a result, those experienced old people completed the manufacture of the sample in less than two days, and Wu Tao and Lu Shi equipped the whole army in large quantities after a slight change.
Originally, this was Wu Tao's credit, and there were many records in the credit book of the base area, but when this thing was distributed, it was resisted by the soldiers, for no other reason, because it was necessary to reach a certain area, so the rattan armor behind it was made big enough, and the soldier's back was like a big turtle shell behind him, and anyone felt uncomfortable, and resolutely said: "I'd rather take a few arrows, and resolutely don't wear anything." ”
There was no way, Zhao Xing had an idea, and said that this was painstakingly developed by King Chuang for the safety of his brothers and for the brothers to kill more enemies, and everyone's resistance was an insult to King Chuang's hard work.
Don't say it, as soon as those soldiers heard that it was something developed by King Chuang for everyone, they immediately put it on happily, and no one complained, and they also gave themselves a loud alias - the turtle warrior, saying that the turtle represents longevity, tenacity, and represents - anyway, as long as it is arranged by King Chuang, then everything will not be a problem, and in the end, even the children's group seriously asked them to be distributed, and they also want to become little turtles. So the whole cottage went in and out of a turtle shell, so that the newcomers and outsiders who had just entered the cottage were dumbfounded.
Wu Tao's merits made Lu Shi easily snatch the light, so Wu Tao was not only not unhappy, but praised the wisdom of King Chuang everywhere, so King Chuang's prestige went to a higher level.
Cao Meng was very touched by his brothers, and moved by the spirit of not fighting for merit or jealousy, treating each other honestly, and striving for the first, no matter who they are, no matter how old or young.
When there are dangers and difficulties, I will go forward, and if I have merit and benefits, I will stay away, just like this time, and become a common spirit of breaking into the army. It is important that a group has a good spirit.
