On the premise of victory and certain results, the small sacrifice did not matter, Jing Yue thought that he had made a great contribution, and was ready to go to the big tent of the Chinese army to ask Shen Xi for merit and reward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jing Yue was originally very excited, but when he heard about the casualty system formulated by Shen Xi from the frustrated officers and soldiers, he was dumbfounded...... It was not a credit to win the village emotionally, but a fault, so that he didn't dare to see Shen Xi.

Two officers and soldiers who were originally alive and kicking lost their lives under his leadership, and they could have beaten him for two or three days, but the cottage side could only choose to surrender when they saw that they couldn't hold on, so that there would be no losses!

Although Jing Yue's rash advance received immediate results, it also paid the price of blood.

In desperation, Jing Yue had to muster up the courage and plead guilty to Shen Xi.

Since the beginning of the war, the casualties of the Ming officers and soldiers can be said to be minimal, mainly because the bandits on this island basically have no power to fight back, and each hundred households keep in mind the reward and punishment system formulated before, and the death of a person is less than a reward, so the life of the comrade is particularly important, how to bring the wounded and sick back from the battlefield, even if the corpse cannot be abandoned in the wilderness, otherwise it will be treated as a deserter.

In this way, the mutual trust between the soldiers in the army has reached its peak, and the soldiers feel for the first time that they are so down-to-earth on the battlefield, and they are no longer afraid of being abandoned by their comrades after being injured when they encounter the enemy.

In the past, they fled for their lives, but now they are retreating with their wounds and illnesses on their shoulders or on their backs.

"My lord, the stockade has been taken down, but three of the brothers under the command of the lowly are dead and two are seriously injured, please punish you for your crimes!" Jing Yue lost his previous brute strength at this moment, and knelt in front of Shen Xi like a defeated rooster.

Shen Xi said indifferently: "Very good." ”

Jing Yue's eyes widened in bewilderment: "My lord, you must be confused...... Otherwise, you will be punished with fifty sticks, or a hundred sticks! ”

"Lao Jing, do you think the injury on your buttocks is so good, are you going to add an old injury to a new injury? Hehe, a hundred military sticks, even if you are good and upright, a hundred sticks can kill you. ”

Shen Xi didn't have much anger on his face, his expression was extremely calm, "You get up, tomorrow you will command the soldiers and horses again and continue to attack the cottage!" ”

"Huh? My lord, this ...... If you attack it, the damage will be very serious...... If you are angry, just condemn yourself and don't be so sarcastic...... Even if I kill my head, I will never frown! ”

Jing Yue's heart was full of guilt, he didn't know why Shen Xi was so good at talking today, he was obviously here to ask for guilt, but Shen Xi didn't seem to have the intention of pursuing it.

Shen Xi said angrily: "Let you lead the troops to attack the thieves' stockade, why are you talking so much nonsense?" I didn't have so many worries when I saw you charging into the thief village today, could it be that because a few people died, you didn't even have the courage to move forward? ”

"Huh?"

Jing Yue heard this clearly, Shen Xi didn't seem to be playing in the clouds, but telling the truth.

Jing Yue was completely confused!

Why did Shen Xi deliberately slow down the pace of the offensive before, and put the lives of soldiers above all else. And now all of a sudden, he became so eager to let him attack the stockade regardless of casualties?

Shen Xi said: "Tomorrow, I will give you a thousand households of soldiers and horses, you see the cottage rush, maintain the basic formation, there will be artillery fire and crossbow arrows on the side to cover, if anyone retreats, will be punished as a deserter!" ”

"You don't have to tell me how many people will be lost tomorrow, if you can't even accept a small sacrifice, in the future, in the face of even stronger bandits, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out!"

Shen Xi's words were extremely imposing, and Jing Yue was shocked for a while.

Jing Yue repeated what Shen Xi had just said, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he had a touch of realization in his heart: "My lord's move is also training!" ”

"Before, it was for everyone to cherish the life of the robe, but now everyone has the concept of military regulations and military discipline, do not abandon or give up, and the next step is to hone everyone's blood...... Only by letting those rabbit cubs endure the test of blood and fire can they be regarded as elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they are not even a fart! ”

"If it weren't for Lord Tufu, I would be a fart myself, so I'd better listen to my lord's orders and lead troops to attack the thieves' cottage tomorrow. So, I'm going to have to exercise the authority of a thousand households soon? Jing Yue has a twisted temper, but he knows how to self-regulate, and he was scolded by Shen Xi with strict words at this time, and he immediately regained his confidence as soon as the thought in his heart turned.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the end will be within three days...... No, all the thieves on the island will be uprooted in two days, and you will wait for the good news of the last general in the big tent of the Chinese army! ”

Jing Yue rushed to prepare.

Waiting for people to leave, Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, he always felt that Jing Yue was a talent, but now it seems that there is a long way to go! Then Shen Xi couldn't help but think of Wang Lingzhi's small hair, in fact, Jing Yue looked a little bit of Wang Lingzhi's idiot, but he knew how to be flexible than Wang Lingzhi.

Shen Xi muttered: "I don't know what happened to that guy from Wang Lingzhi now, it's been three or four years since he arrived in the frontier, but it's a pity that the generals of the border army can't write family letters casually, otherwise I really want to know what this kid is doing recently, and has his brain been enlightened!?" ”

Not long after Jing Yue left, Ma Jiu and Zhu Hong entered the big tent in their own military uniforms and saluted Shen Xi. They are not soldiers, they follow the army in the name of Shen Xi, but even Jing Yue and others dare not despise Ma Jiu and others, after all, Ma Jiu is responsible for operating the artillery, and Zhu Hong has been following up by Shen Xi's side.

"My lord, do you really want to attack the stockade tomorrow at all costs? In fact, it can be delayed for a few days, the thief village in Yangyu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is artillery, it can't shoot in! Ma Jiu looked worried.

Shen Xi sighed: "Seeing that April is about to pass, in a few days, the rainy season is coming, and this battle will not be easy to fight...... Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the bandits in Nanao Mountain before April 25, and then continue to go north to exterminate the bandits. The army has been delayed for a long time in Guangdong, and then there are still thieves in Fujian and southern Zhejiang who need to be cleared, and it will not be so easy to march and fight after the summer. ”

In Shen Xi's view, in fact, the war on Nanao Island is going well, and the biggest problem is that it can't be delayed.

As long as they can survive until the officers and soldiers retreat, they can regain their old mountains and rivers and continue to operate with impunity in the coastal area...... After all, if even the 4,000 officers and troops led by Shen Xi couldn't help them, then the local guard office was even more helpless.

Shen Xi now had to take into account the situation in the middle of summer.

In summer, the sea is rainy and windy, and there are occasional hurricanes, which bring great safety hazards to sailing ships, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's coastal primeval forests, snakes, insects, rats and ants increase, and the miasma of the mountains and forests on hazy days is also very deadly, and the medical and health conditions in the army are backward, which will lead to the generation and spread of infectious diseases.

Spring and autumn are the most suitable for marching and fighting, while winter and summer are much more difficult.

If the fighting can be ended a moment sooner, there can be no more delay. At present, although each hundred households are performing their own duties, the indomitable momentum is not fierce enough, so Shen Xi let Jing Yue, who was holding back his strength, come out to drive the atmosphere and maximize the effect of this war used for military training!
