Chapter 106: Morale
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao. The wind was cold and the night was dark. The sergeant who was hurrying forward reflected a faint cold light. The neat footsteps of the sergeant in front of him shook the earth and made a dull sound.
After coming out of Jiangning City, the army had been marching rapidly for nearly an hour, and at this time, the sergeants who had been running long distances were already showing fatigue, and they were panting with their spears, while following the army closely, for fear of being punished for falling behind.
Wu Ningyuan, who was riding on a horse, looked at Lu Heng, who was on a par with him, and couldn't help pouting.
Sure enough, it's a reader, it's really hypocritical. I just said that the sergeants are straightforward, let them go. As a result, in the blink of an eye, this group of soldiers came to a long-distance high-intensity march.
It's insidious!
After these dozens of miles, the soldiers were all in a hurry, but there was no gossip left.
Seeing that the sergeants were heavy in their footsteps, it was difficult to continue. Wu Ningyuan rode over, and just wanted to talk to Lu Heng, it was almost enough. As soon as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Heng holding the reins of the horse and beckoning to the herald beside him with one hand.
"Strategist!" The herald came on horseback and hugged his fists.
"Pass the order, the whole army rests!" Lu Heng restrained the war horse, had, and said to the herald.
"Yes!" The herald saluted with his fists, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the rear brigade.
"Rest the whole army! The whole army rests! ……”
The heralds galloped all the way, shouting at the exhausted sergeants all the way. The horses kicked up puffs of dust and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After hearing the order to rest, the two thousand sergeants gasped for breath, scolded their mothers, and fell down crookedly, and they gathered together in groups of three or five, kneading each other's thighs, and seizing the time to rest.
After Lu Heng jumped off the horse, he turned his head, glanced at the group of tired sergeants, and smiled faintly.
On the side, Wu Ningyuan walked over, took the kettle from the horse's back, poured it with a bang, put his arm on Lu Heng's shoulder, and said in his ear: "You kid, it's really bad!" ”
Lu Heng glanced at him, shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"What, I said it wrong?" Wu Ningyuan was a little surprised, Lu Heng's eyes just now didn't seem to be deliberately fixing these sergeants.
Lu Heng took the water bladder in his hand, unscrewed the lid, and after taking a sip, he rubbed his hands, turned around and pointed to the bitter soldiers behind him, and said to Wu Ningyuan: "You said, if these soldiers go to the northern grassland, they meet the Turkic soldiers. What are the chances of them surviving? ”
Wu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then, when he saw Lu Heng's helpless look, he was suddenly shocked. He stared at Lu Heng's face for a long time, and finally, he sighed deeply, took a step back, and hugged Lu Heng and said, "I've been taught!" ”
He has given up his military power for a long time, and he has been idle in Jiangning. After decades, to be honest, he has almost forgotten how he felt when he led troops to war.
Looking at the lazy appearance of the soldiers behind him, he just knew that the ten ** of the Great Zhou army were like this. Not surprisingly.
It's just that now I suddenly heard Lu Heng say, the matter of the Northern Turks. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Turning his head, he looked at the soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and listened to their bitter complaints. A nameless anger suddenly arose in his heart.
It's not that he hates this group of soldiers, but he, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows that if this group of soldiers arrived in the grassland, they would have become a corpse long ago.
As a general, the last thing he wants to see is that his soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. ", these softets!" Wu Ningyuan won the name of the God of War of the Great Zhou back then, relying on daring to fight. His iron-blooded wrist not only made his opponent fearful, but also completely admired by his sergeants.
And now, see this bunch of garbage. Wu Ningyuan, who is accustomed to seeing iron-blooded battlefield warriors, how can he have no fire in his heart?
Seeing that Wu Ningyuan's face was pale, and he was holding a leather whip in his hand, he was about to go over and beat these soldiers. Lu Heng stopped him and scolded with a smile: "Don't get excited, you're all old." It's so angry! ”
"I just can't get used to seeing this group of garbage complaining about it!" Wu Ningyuan's face was pale, and the hand holding the leather whip creaked, which showed that this old man had a lot of fire now.
"I have a solution!" After thinking about it, Lu Heng said to her with a smile.
"Oh? You said? Wu Ningyuan let go of these soldiers for the time being, turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and asked eagerly.
Lu Heng smiled, walked over, and whispered something to the old man.
I saw Wu Ningyuan groping his chin, listening to Lu Heng whispering in Erfat, but the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
In the end, Wu Ningyuan laughed, stretched out his thumb to Lu Heng, and exclaimed: "Haha, it's really a reader, it's insidious enough!" ”
Lu Heng's face froze, looking at the high-spirited Wu Ningyuan, his lips moved, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Well, I didn't say it!
Seeing Lu Heng's rare deflatedness, Wu Ningyuan became more and more happy. He casually called the herald, whispered in the herald's ear, Lu Heng's method, and repeated it. He waved his hand to let the herald go down.
After a while, the troops, like a pile of dry wood falling into a spark, crackled and burned. These soldiers, who were still shouting tired just now, all stood up as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes were not good, and they were still scolding and scolding.
"Damn, those grandsons in the light cavalry camp are too arrogant. Dare to call us rubbish. Fuck, isn't it just that your legs are longer, you run faster, what's the big deal? ”
"That's it, those grandsons, I usually see that they are unhappy, and they dare to mock the uncle! Grass @! ”
"Cut, you have the ability to catch up with others, who wouldn't say cool words!"
"What did you say?"
"That's what I'm saying, what's the matter. You have the ability to catch up with others, you don't have the ability, and you're still chirping here, a big man, like a girl. Don't be ashamed! ”
"Cao, do you really think Lao Tzu can't catch up with them?"
"Then chase it!"
"Chase, chase, whoever the fuck is afraid of whom!"
Seeing the excitement of the soldiers, the fighting spirit was instantly ignited. Wu Ningyuan turned his head, looked at Lu Heng with admiration in his eyes, and stretched out his thumb to pick it.
At this time, an eagle falcon, flapping its wings, fell from the sky.
The herald snapped his finger and whistled. I saw this mighty falcon, selected in the air, and landed.
"Strategist, letter from the light cavalry battalion!"
After the herald took out the secret letter from the eagle falcon's leg, he handed it to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded, and by the light of the torch, after taking a new look, his face turned pale.
He didn't avoid the soldiers who were looking at him, but after taking a look, he transferred the letter to Wu Ningyuan's hand.
"Zhan Xiong reported that the light cavalry battalion has reached Area 1, when will they be able to reach the predetermined area. Scold. This guy also said let's not drag him back! Lu Heng rubbed his forehead, smiled helplessly, and said to Wu Ningyuan.
Wu Ningyuan took the letter, and after taking a look, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Heng with a strange gaze.
I don't think that's what I said in the letter.
Wu Ningyuan thought that he had made a mistake, lowered his head, and took another look. It was sent by the Zhan guards, yes. However, what was said in the letter had nothing to do with Lu Heng's words. Zhan's guard said in the letter that the light cavalry battalion would have one more hour to reach its predetermined position in Area 1. Tell the military advisor and the prince not to worry, Zhanxiong guarantees to complete the task!
He looked up and turned to look. found that Lu Heng was secretly using color on himself, and his heart suddenly understood.
Now, just now, this guy deliberately read out loud words, the purpose of which is to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Now, without turning around, Wu Ningyuan could hear the heavy gasps of the sergeants behind him.
That is, with the sound of humiliated anger. There is also the strength to not admit defeat.
Wu Ningyuan, who understood it in his heart, also smiled bitterly, and after closing the letter, he said with a wry smile: "This Zhanxiong, hey!" ”
Good acting!
After watching the serious Wu Ningyuan perform all this, Lu Heng smiled and praised it in his heart.
Turning around, he collected the smile on his face and said to the herald: "Herald, the whole army is assembled!" ”
The herald was also excited, and it seemed that he was provoked by the content of the letter just now. He glanced at Lu Heng tremblingly, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Yes, military advisor!" ”
The herald stepped onto his horse, raised his whip, and slapped the horse's buttocks. The war horse neighed, and arrows were fired.
"The military division has an order, and the whole army is assembled!"
"The military division has an order, and the whole army is assembled!"
The herald's loud voice instantly clamoured over the wild. The tremors were buzzing.
Needless to say, the soldiers who had already been provoked by the fire were completed in a blink of an eye, and they all gathered in front of Lu Heng and Wu Ningyuan.
Seeing the soldiers who were still lazy just now, the military appearance was neat and murderous at this time. Lu Heng smiled in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Wu Ningyuan, the look in his eyes was self-evident.
He cleared his throat, not loud, but penetrating enough.
He looked at these soldiers with red faces, smiled, and said loudly: "Soldiers, everyone should have heard the letter just now." Hehe, you can't blame the brothers of the light cavalry battalion for being arrogant. Compared to them, our march was not fast. But let's ignore them. Hehe, as long as we arrive at the dock at dawn. Whatever they say! People say, right? ”
The soldiers did not speak, only gasped for breath, which grew heavier and heavier. Like a beast ready to attack, staring at the military advisor standing in front of them and saying cool words.
But Lu Heng walked a few laps in front of the army with his hands behind his back as if he was a person who had nothing to do. Then he stopped and looked at the soldiers shaking their heads and sighing, full of disappointed expressions.
The soldiers clenched their fists, their eyes flashing with fierceness, and they stared at him deadly.
Lu Heng smiled blindly, turned his head to look at these soldiers, and said lightly: "Are you not convinced? “
The soldiers still did not reply. Lu Heng glanced at them even more disappointed, pouted and said lightly: "Heh, I don't even dare to say a hard word, hey!" ”
"We're not convinced!"
After hearing Lu Heng's words, the army was about to move. In the black-pressed army, there was finally a guy who shouted out with all his might.
"Yes, we're not convinced!"
"Not convinced!"
In the blink of an eye, the army was boiling. All kinds of angry voices were thought of as one.
The blood of two thousand sergeants was finally ignited at this moment. Under the excitement of the crowd, the momentum shook the sky.
Lu Heng smiled with satisfaction in his heart, but there was still an indifferent expression on his face. He looked at the soldiers for a long time before reaching out and pressing down.
After the noise calmed down, Lu Heng looked at them, shook his head and smiled lightly: "I'm not convinced, I didn't say it with my mouth!" ”
After saying this, Lu Heng's voice paused for a moment.
After that, he changed the smile on his face, turned his head, stared at these soldiers coldly, looked around, and said loudly: "We will arrive at the predetermined place at the right time, are you confident?" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers held their heads high and shouted loudly.
Lu Heng frowned, shook his head and said, "I can't hear it!" ”
After glancing at the group of soldiers with a lazy expression, he asked again, "Answer me, are you confident?" Be louder! ”
The soldiers raised their swords and guns, and the swords and guns released a cold light in the night sky.
"Yes!"
A roar, the momentum shook the sky!
