Xiao Xuan's comfortable time in the palace has not really passed, and the time of the autumn harvest outside the city has not really come. A strange conscription list began to be posted in many camps and even in the streets and alleys of the city, using only the name of the so-called "Volunteer Army Headquarters", not the imperial list commonly used by the brigade headquarters and even the imperial power center.

In very coarse and straightforward words, it is even written in a crooked and oblique font like a child learning to write: "The first battalion of the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division of the 27th Army of the Militia is preparing for conscription, because of the shortage of food, the newly established infantry battalion will only have one and a half catties of coarse grain every day if it does not fight, and two and a half catties of coarse grain on the day of battle. There is only one egg a day, and one or two donkeys and horses, and half a tael of oil. Equipped with no armor, no shield, only a short spear and a black powder mine, ready to participate in a decisive assault on the enemy's control outside the Anding Gate. All the soldiers who participated in the battalion did not remember their names, did not erect monuments, announced to the outside world that they had died of illness or were missing, did not receive bereavement benefits, did not have military salaries, and would not stop fighting against the enemy if they had not died in battle to 60 percent and most of the dead and wounded. The newly formed infantry battalion had no other demands than to fight for the liberation of the world and realize the ideals of a Datong society... ”

Many people couldn't help but talk about this strange list, but the vast majority of people stayed away.

"What are you kidding? Although the life of one egg a day and one or two dead livestock meat is not bad compared to the lower class ordinary people outside the capital, who would work hard for such a little improvement in treatment? Isn't it a joke that the nameless and the unprofitable are not equipped with equipment like the usual to storm the city outside the Anding Gate? ”

"Yes! Who is so bold that he dares to slander the Holy Lord and shake the hearts of the army in wartime? ”

The vast majority of people scoff at this strange list, doesn't this show nonsense?

However, there are still a very few smart people who see the strangeness of this, a younger brother once participated in the teaching brigade, and the young landing boy who failed to pass the show showed lightly shook the folding fan and smiled at the people around him: "Everyone, think about it, if it was the impromptu idea of the officers of other parts, who would be so bold as to post this kind of seemingly ironic list everywhere?" If this is the case, with the wisdom of the saints, the whole search has already begun. But it's been the third day, and this kind of list is still swaggering here, what does this mean? This shows that this conscription list is simply the instruction of the Holy One! The Holy One wants to select death squads that treat everything outside the body as nothing! Think about it, what a reliable and elite team will be a person who is willing to work hard for his ideals and does not want any fame and fortune? How is it possible to be treated like this without armor or shields when facing battle? Ladies and gentlemen! Think about it! If you are willing to fight hard for real wealth, then this road is a good choice! ”

"Cut! You fake show is light, you can do it! The walls of Andingmen were not covered! There were also some ruffians who had read the book and laughed at this time.

"That is what you say! Then I'll sign up! As he spoke, the boy found a pen. carefully wrote his name on the list: Tan Yun of the 26th Army of the Militia.

With the beginning, a single 40-year-old butcher in the capital also came up to the top and said: "Write my name for me!" Hao Dalei of the 20th Army of the militia. I've lived most of my life without a wife or children, if I don't fight hard at this time, I will be rich and rich, and this life may be the end... ”

In this way, although the vast majority of people were respectful of such a strange conscription list, there were still many people who came to enlist at risk of catching a cold, and there were about 1,200 people from inside and outside the army. Not even one percent of the entire capital defenders is not too much. An important reason why so many "dead soldiers" can be recruited is that in the previous battle to defend the city, the Son of Heaven in the capital and even the Son of Heaven's forbidden army team did not look like a stingy person who broke his word.

When the 1,200 men began to assemble at night, not far from the city, to organize a counterattack against the lost section of the outer city wall, there was no armor or shield. In addition to a black powder grenade, each of them also had a short spear that was no longer than his height. At this time, everyone felt some degree of panic. Because after the previous defense, how the enemy army outside the city was, and what the battlefield was like, many people already had a more mature understanding, and going to the city to counterattack like this was no different from sending them to death.

It's just that at this time, a scholar-looking person who looks quite kind shouted in front of the assembled crowd: "Everything on the list is not a lie to you. You should also know the truth that you have no jokes. If any of you quit now, there will be no responsibility. If you are not really ready to sacrifice for the ideal of liberating the world, please stand up consciously ... ”

At the beginning, no one dared to guarantee what the means were, and no one dared to stand up at this time. However, when the scholar named Tan Yun took the lead in standing up when he saw this, more and more people began to leave the team at this time. Seeing that the people who had withdrawn seemed to have returned to the top of the city unharmed, more people began to withdraw from the group. Hao Dalei was also a little shaken at this time, but after all, he didn't get out of the queue, he had already made up his mind to risk his death.

In the end, the 1st Battalion of the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division of the 27th Army of the Chinese Volunteers initially recruited more than half of the 1,200 people, and about 700 people remained. Among them, it is rare to see people who look like people in the market or scholars, basically except for some teenagers in the teaching brigade, who are bachelors in their thirties and forties who are ready to fight for their lives.

Before the team set off, there was no meaning of Zhuangxing wine, let alone any supervision and mobilization, but everyone was told that this attack was different. There is no one to supervise the war, it is all self-conscious. Therefore, when the procession reached the final assembly place in front of the dirt slope, more than 200 people withdrew one after another. When the "Volunteer Infantry Battalion" was overstaffed at the time of the initial recruitment, it returned to the size of only 530 people. Five hundred-man teams were formed on the fly, ready for assault.

"The bridge for the attack is quietly ready for our army. If you ascend the top of the city from the dirt slope and attack to the east, you should be in the enemy's position less than a mile or so. What can be told to you is that the enemy there is ready. This time, the Holy One also decreed that if anyone fled during this attack, he could be acquitted with impunity. ”
