Chapter 80: The Oath

The rumbling drums range from low to high-pitched, from slow to rapid, like the heartbeat of the soldiers, containing strength and fighting spirit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the army, it is stipulated that after the three-way drum is assembled, those who arrive late will be punished by military law. Outside the hall, the sound of orderly running sounded, and all the captains, even team leaders and uncles were shouting loudly to order their subordinates and soldiers to find their positions and stand up.

In the hall, Zhang Jun led a group of people to instruct as they walked: "Now that you have made up your mind, you must make some preparations in advance." First of all, it is necessary to mobilize the villagers and let them know the situation, and also need the assistance of the Liu patriarch to fully mobilize all the manpower and material resources in the village; Secondly, the craftsman team should seize the time to repair weapons and armor, and if there is a shortage of manpower, the villagers with craftsmanship in the village will be requisitioned; Thirdly, organize all the soldiers, recruit guides, set up light and dark posts in the unit, and look out at all the key points in the mountains; Finally, after the general's lecture was finished, all the generals gathered in the lobby to prepare fortifications and tactical plans. ”

Han Hu and Zhou Tong hugged their fists and said: "Although the master of the building commands, he will die if he is humble!" ”

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "There is no need to die, everyone has to return to Liangzhou alive." ”

Song Pei, Suo Sanjie and Jiang Wan also saluted: "We are the only ones who are the head of the lord and the horse!" ”

At this time, everyone had already arrived at the stone steps outside the hall, Zhang Jun looked at it, and more than 300 soldiers had been assembled, each wearing armor, holding a spear and a waist hanging knife, and the murderous spirit was overflowing.

Nodding secretly, Zhang Jun was already very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates. If you want to train an elite soldier, the best way is to continue to sharpen it with war, in this chaotic era where martial arts are rampant, there has never been a shortage of war, only a lack of stunned young people who dare to continue to use war to train soldiers.

Due to the turbulent situation in the Northlands, the recruitment of military personnel has reached an outrageous level. Often only one ding is left in the whole family, and the rest is released; Or three out of five, two out of four, which can already be regarded as quite benevolent. This kind of military system has not only caused a great burden on the common people, but also directly led to a sharp increase in the number of armies of various countries.

Taking the Xiongnu Han State as an example, although the country's strength has declined slightly in recent years, there are still 370,000 horse-foot soldiers, of which the strongest Chinese army has 250,000 horse-foot soldiers. In addition, the Zhao State of Qishi, which gradually rose in the north, had a larger army, reaching 500,000 people, including 300,000 Chinese troops. Even in Liangzhou, which has always protected the territory and defended the territory, the Chinese army has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 200,000 troops from various counties.

In the northern land of this era, cavalry has become the main force of warfare, and foot soldiers have gradually become auxiliary troops. All countries regard the foot soldiers as consumables that can be conscripted at any time.

But Zhang Jun doesn't see it that way. He believed that the decline of the infantry was due to the emergence of heavy cavalry, but the infantry phalanx had not yet found a way to restrain the heavy cavalry. But with the birth of heavy infantry, mounted cavalry was not invincible. Of course, Zhang Jun is still gradually exploring the specific tactics and future development direction of the Liang Army, after all, he is not from a military background, and what kind of military development path he should choose is related to the rise and fall of Guozuo, so he can't be cautious.

When the soldiers saw the owner of the building appear, they all shouted: "Major General! Major General······ Major General! ”

After nearly two months of life and death, Zhang Jun has already won the respect of all the soldiers. In the eyes of these generals and ordinary soldiers who have been fighting all year round, although their lord is young and noble, he is by no means comparable to those children of the Qing clan who have mixed qualifications and gilded qualifications. The lord of the building braved arrows and stones as a major general, and fought the front line in all battles, which greatly increased Zhang Jun's prestige and personal charm.

Zhang Jun stretched out his hands and waved them slightly, and the soldiers automatically stopped calling and quieted down to listen to the master's lecture.

I saw him say in a deep voice: "Brothers, I promised to take everyone back to my hometown, yes or no? ”

"Yes!"

"But the Huns did not die in our hearts, and chased them here, not only to slaughter this Han village, but also to try to wipe us out! What do you say, sons? ”

"Kill them all!" Han Hu replied loudly at the right time.

"Kill them all!" The soldiers followed and shouted.

"In this battle, we not only have to kill all the Huns who came to attack, but also take the villagers of Liujiazhai back to Liangzhou together. How can we not repay us by the kindness of the villagers who have taken them in? Ben decided to lead the people of the Han family to return to their hometowns together and grant land to everyone in Liangzhou, so that all the families of the soldiers and all the remnants of the secluded mountains and wilderness would have a place to live in peace and have fertile land to plant! ”

"Granting land?"

"Really, the major general is going to grant the field?"

When the soldiers heard what Zhang Jun said, they instantly burst into cheers and shouted: "Long live the young general, long live the young general!" ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly turned sideways, said "long live", quieted the soldiers, and said: "I promise that whoever kills the enemy and makes meritorious contributions, in addition to cutting his ears and rewarding the fields, after returning to Liangzhou, he will also reward another hundred acres of fertile land!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers were in high spirits and shouted vigorously.

At this moment, many villagers who heard the news also approached. They didn't dare to get too close, they just watched from afar. The villagers also listened to what Zhang Jun said to the soldiers, and their faces showed yearning looks.

Gradually, a large group of people crowded in front of the hall, surrounding the soldiers of the Liang Army. Patriarch Liu was also standing in the middle, and he was trying to squeeze forward, wanting to step forward and speak.

Zhang Jun was the first to shout loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, ······"

Suddenly, a group of eyes looked over.

I saw him clear his throat and say in a loud voice: "The Huns let everyone move inward in order to continue to enslave our Han'er. The villagers were all good and refused the lure of Hulu. But now, the Huns saw that the soft ones were not good, and they wanted to come hard, so they sent spies to the stockade, and threatened to slaughter the entire stockade······"

"Boom!"

Zhang Jun's words caused unease among the villagers, and everyone asked left and right what was going on. Some villagers who witnessed Zhang Jun's arrest of the spies immediately began to show off their voices, which further aroused the panic of the villagers.

Zhang Jun continued to say loudly: "In the past few days, we have been recuperating here from our wounds, thanks to the shelter and clothing provided by the villagers, and food in spite of the difficulties of the family······ The grace of dripping water, the husband should repay the spring; The villagers treat people with sincerity, which makes people feel deeply. Now that Hu Lu is coming, how can we stand idly by? ”

The villagers' discussion slowly eased, and everyone turned their attention to the general in front of them.

Zhang Jun's gaze swept over the villagers, and he shouted: "Our Liang army soldiers, since they have penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, it is not counted to kill Hu Lu, and the Huns are afraid of us and call it 'Ear Cutting Army'." Later, the puppet Qinzhou came to attack, and was shot to death by me with an arrow! Now there are more than 300 soldiers under my command, all of whom are elite soldiers who are one of ten, and they are absolutely sure to kill all the enemies and protect the villagers! “

He continued: "This general is the major general of Da Liang, and in Liangzhou, it can be said that one person is above 10,000 people, I promise the villagers, as long as we kill Hu Lu together with us, and when we move to the territory of Liangzhou, we will grant land to everyone!" ”

Sure enough, like the soldiers, when they heard the word "grant land", the villagers boiled. For these wandering remnants, granting land means that they can get land to cultivate, and they can live a stable life without fear anymore. With such a huge temptation, it is impossible for anyone not to be tempted.

Zhang Jun was very satisfied when he saw this, and immediately encouraged the people: "There are still many young people in the village, you have been adrift all your life, and you have been hiding from the enslavement of Hu Lu, but you have never risen up to resist!" Then aren't you dignified men, and you don't want to get rid of the humiliation of Hu Lu forever? Now the Hulu are coming to plunder your grain again, *** your wife and daughter, what are you waiting for? “

Zhang Jun raised his arms and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the time has come to fight for yourself!" Ben will fight with you! ”

Slowly, many stout men stood up from the crowd, and someone said, "I don't know martial arts, but I also have a lot of strength." ”

"Count me, I've had enough of it a long time ago, when will the one who hides in Tibet be a head······ It's better to fight! ”

"That's right! It's better to fight! ”

"Fight! Fight! ”
