Section 10 The temple counts the winner and loser
The topic of confrontation with the Turks, Qarluq, and Dangxiang tribes was agreed, and everyone was about to leave to get busy, when Olki, who was next to Lao Luo, asked: "General, since it is possible for those three tribes to recruit small tribes to participate in the war, can we also recruit some ...... For example, the Hosa people you met in the morning? ”
As the captain of Lao Luo's personal guard, Alki rarely spoke when everyone was talking, he just couldn't help but say, because as far as he knew, the Romans were also divided into regular soldiers and servant armies when they were fighting, and every time there was a big war, the servant army recruited by the Romans was at least five times more than the number of their regular soldiers, and even rewards and transactions, many wars were won by servant troops.
Olki's words aroused everyone's interest, and they all stopped preparing to leave.
"Yes, what Olki said makes sense, we can also levy some tribal warriors, even if they are responsible for battlefield planning, at least our warriors can work a little less!" Li Xuan's mind was the sharpest, and he immediately thought of the benefits of doing so.
"Hey, Hosa? I understand a little, I heard that they are all good warriors on the grassland, General Luo might as well consider it? "Dou Miao, a stubborn old man, is also a little moved, as long as the battle can be won, hard work is nothing, the key is to better preserve the lives of his own soldiers.
"Why didn't I think of that? Don't you follow the general's side, and your head can be more flexible......" gossip began to spread.
Lao Luo never spoke, just quietly listened to the crowd tell them what they thought about it.
It wasn't until he calmed down a little and coughed lightly that Lao Luo spoke: "In the Tang Dynasty in the past, Gao Xianzhi, the marshal of the Anxi Army, recruited several tribal cavalry to fight...... Everyone knows how it turned out. As for the several tribes that currently include the Hosa people, they are only here for profit, and it is difficult to guarantee whether they can advance and retreat with us at a critical time. ”
Battle of Hengrus! This word is an eternal scar in the hearts of the people of the former Tang camp. No one wants to fail like that again. Even though he only mentioned Gao Xianzhi, Lao Luo noticed that many of the people had become ugly, so he just clicked to the end, and then began to explain his thoughts.
"Of course, it's not to suspect them of ulterior motives right now, it's just ...... Will they be able to match our fighters? You know, our soldiers have to train every day, and the weapons and military orders have begun to mature, and the clamoring tribesmen joining in can only mess up our own position! "I didn't say anything about the hearts of those steppe tribes, but purely analyzed from a tactical point of view, and Lao Luo was not worried about not being able to convince everyone.
Yes, the mistakes of the past cannot be repeated!
Many of the people who said that they were going to recruit the Hosa people and other steppe warriors were silent, not because they had forgotten the shame, but because they were a little confused when they heard about the siege of the three major tribes. As for the proposed Olki, he was only a warrior from the Mediterranean, unaware of the entanglements of the land, and had never led a battle alone.
So after saying that, looking at everyone's expressions, Alki felt as if he had a bad idea, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Don't think about it, you just don't know the situation here, at least it suggests a possibility of fighting, but this may not be suitable for the present, but in the future." Lao Luo patted Alki on the shoulder and said something that could be considered comforting.
The fact is also the same, it has not yet won the hearts of the people, why should people work hard for you? It's strange to no longer turn against the battlefield!
Although Olki's head can't think about it so much, he is indeed the most loyal to Lao Luo, and he interjected halfway for the sake of this team, how could Lao Luo not let everyone involve his former anger on him.
"Yes, Lord!" Alki said gratefully, and said in his heart that he would never interject again until he thought clearly in the future.
"General Luo, no one will blame Olki, we didn't think it through. It's just ......" that people are said to be much more thoughtful when they are older. Just now, Du Ne also said that the Hosa people may be useful, and he doesn't want to have any misunderstanding with a group of miscellaneous guys under Lao Luo, God knows who this Luo elder trusts more at this time. The future is almost doomed, and Luo Jia Saburo must be the backbone of the vast majority of this centaur, including himself.
Lao Luo didn't care about Dune's words, but saw everyone's hesitation.
In the final analysis, it is necessary to face an enemy whose absolute number exceeds one's own, and the pressure on everyone's hearts is inevitably a little great, and to put it bluntly, it is the anxiety before the war. Including Gonzas, Cheng Shouru, Li Xuan, Dunne, Dou Milling...... Although all these people have had a complicated experience, and they have seen a lot of big scenes along the way, when it comes to war, they are really just junior brothers, which has nothing to do with age, and in the face of enemies who may be multiplied, there is no pressure to hell. If you don't have confidence in your heart, you will naturally feel panic and weakness......
Even Lao Luo only experienced the baptism of artillery and missiles in later generations, but the war at that time was like this era - the mountains and fields were full of people, and in later generations, bullets were flying and grenades and grenades were bazookas, and at this time arrows were fired indiscriminately plus bladed spears, there were the same, and more were differences.
Compared with later generations, the wars of this era are more bloody, and after a big war, flesh and blood are not just a simple word, but much more exaggerated than the slaughterhouse, and the scene of dead people and flesh everywhere is not something that anyone can bear.
Lao Luo, who has experienced the smoke and flames of war, has also forced himself to adapt step by step from East Africa to this extent. Without him, excluding reckless action, the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the easier it is to die, and when the heart is cowardly and causes panic in the hands and feet, it can only be death, so moving forward bravely is the right way.
It is said that soldiers are the courage of generals, and they are talking about the courage to rely on the strength of the people to achieve battle, but here in Lao Luo, he is the courage of soldiers, as long as he Lao Luo is not flustered, there is nothing to fear.
As for the people in front of them, it is obvious that most of them are not fully equipped with the mentality of fighting enemies who are multiplier than their own, and obviously this majority does not include former gladiators such as Gonzhas and Sidd Nord who crawled out of the pile of dead people.
"In this way, let's all go back to the tent, and let's calculate the comparison of our combat power with the Turkic, Qarluq, and Dangxiang tribes! Gonzas, Sidike, come with you! Lao Luo saw the hesitation in everyone's eyes, and planned to call back everyone who was going to be busy, whether it was to appease people's hearts or unify their thoughts, in short, it couldn't be this state to face the upcoming war.
Everyone has nothing to do.
Returning to Lao Luo's wide tent that could accommodate thirty or fifty people, and sat down in priority and priority, Lao Luo did not delay, and said directly: "Although the people in the scout camp have not come back yet, we have investigated a lot of the situation of the three tribes during this time. Then it is divided into three aspects: time, place, and people, who will talk about it? ”
Alke and Min Wenhou took the people from the scout camp to find out the news, and they would definitely not be able to come back in a short time, and without accurate news, even if Lao Luo planned to leave tomorrow, it would be impossible to make the trip, so he simply put on a long and tirade formation. It is said that sharpening the knife is not wrong for the woodcutter, and the knife has already been sharpened, but if the person with the knife is afraid in his heart, he will not be able to cut the jackal.
With Lao Luo's calm words, everyone's expressions began to calm down, but no one spoke, just waiting for Lao Luo's words.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Lao Luo is also a little helpless, his pressure is even greater, in this situation, in the face of an enemy that may be twice or even several times his own, it is a lie to say that he is not worried, but he can't show a trace of hesitation if he holds on, and if he is a little timid, people's hearts will collapse, "Tianshi, this thing has no effect on us, and this season is a critical time for the grassland herdsmen to feed cattle, sheep and horses...... Ha, once things are not harmonious, the first to collapse must be the tribesmen of the three tribes! ”
"Well said the general!" No one knows the current situation better than Dune, as soon as Lao Luo finished speaking, he began to help, "The old man understands the customs of the grassland people, their ordinary shepherds all rely on the cattle and sheep fed in summer and autumn to store food, the men come out to fight, and the women and children are left at home, they must not be able to take care of too many cattle and sheep, without cattle and sheep, there may be no food in winter, and they will wait to starve to death when the time comes." ”
"Hey, a man comes out to fight and has no income, can he still hold his head up in front of his mother-in-law and children when he comes home?" The old guy Dou Mill is short-tempered, but he is not unreasonable, but he laughs and scolds but is a simple truth.
"Speaking of geographical advantages, we do not have an advantage in this regard, the three clans are more familiar with this land than us, but we have the tools to make up for it...... Needless to say, no one doesn't know about this, right? Lao Luo was referring to the telescope, although outsiders didn't know about it, and the soldiers at the bottom didn't know it very well, but they couldn't hide it from the leaders of the team.
There was a lot of laughter, and a little bad intentions.
"Finally, people and ...... We are a centaur, there are no differences of opinion internally, everyone wants a stable place......" Speaking of this, Lao Luo is also quite complacent, if it is said that he can unify the hearts of the people, he can't do any work as a government instructor, but with tough measures, he can exclude people with dissenting intentions, the former Pei Sihai, and later Li Lian are examples, "And what about the Turkic, Qarluq, and party clans?" ”
"Although they stood together this time, but as far as I know, these three tribes have fought with each other, I heard from the merchants in the past, just the year before last, the Turks and the Qarluqs also fought a battle in Wuhushui, and the Dangxiang and Qarluqs are also entangled, if it weren't for our sudden return, I'm afraid they would have fought with each other!" This is not Lao Luo relying on the records of later generations, in the winter in Kuzak news is blocked, but after the Spring Festival, he sent spies to Samarkand, this information is gathered together, it is not difficult to analyze.
Everyone who heard about it smiled, and the pressure of facing multiple enemies seemed to disappear.
"To sum up, our warriors trained all winter and won a great victory in Bishkek, and although there were some losses, it was the time when morale was high, and what about our enemies? The rabble! Lao Luo deliberately made a disdainful look, of course, it may not be the case, but can he say?
Apparently not.
Along the way, the Turks and Qarluqs have suffered too many losses under Lao Luo's team, and no matter how stupid people are, they will pay attention to it, not to mention that Mahmoud and Qadir are obviously not stupid people, so there must be a fierce battle on the road ahead, maybe it is evenly matched, maybe it is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, but no matter what, it is a situation where there is no advance or retreat.
The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, this is the truth.
As for Lao Luo's confidence, of course, it is not just courage, it is called the courage of the horseman, and it can't solve the problem.
The vigorous morale is only the psychological foundation, Lao Luo's own strategic vision, the battlefield sensitivity to see the first opportunity, the armor and weapons of the soldiers, and the bed crossbows, stone throwers, and fire oil canisters that are constantly being made in Shirfan...... All of these are the winners and losers who will decide the fate of the battlefield!
