vs 29 Who is afraid?
Not to mention the harsh military law, Lao Luo's treatment of Cheng Shouru is already a punishment that cannot be more conservative. The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, because all the fighters have no trivial matters, and any little mercy for the generals may mean the loss of human lives that cannot be controlled.
Therefore, there is no room for a second voice in an army.
It is said that Cheng Shouru, a general who controls nearly 10,000 people, is considered a high-ranking general, and should not be punished by whipping or the like, but everything in this eastward team is not regular nowadays, only a preliminary military rank, and there is no such thing as salary, and there is no suitable replacement to choose from, so Lao Luo can only use this method of killing monkeys and chickens to police all the officers present.
The so-called plan has not changed quickly, and the purpose of Lao Luo convening this meeting of officers above the length of the song is to eliminate the influence of the light enemy after the front battle of Damgan killed nearly 10,000 enemies, and mobilize all forces to make everyone urgent, but the low-level officers did not react, and Cheng Shouru, a general who has led troops for many years, has a problem, who will not punish him?
Looking around at the officers gathered in the tent and being silent, the anger in Lao Luo's heart gradually decreased, and he still couldn't be too harsh on these people, although these officers had also experienced some wars, but after all, their experience was still shallow, even Cheng Shouru had only been a city defender for many years, and had not experienced any major battles.
This was the first time that Lao Luo had been angry in the face of so many officers, and he soon realized that he was still in a bit of a hurry, after all, these soldiers in the era of cold weapons were not the partners who had experienced many bad combat situations in the past.
He himself has experienced any war, compared to the later generations of planes and missiles or laser positioning bombs whistling overhead, helicopters with multiple barrels of fire whipping the ground, at least there is no need to worry about the threat from the sky in the battle at this time, as for the ground force, the boundless bow and arrow are as powerful as the bullets of heavy machine guns? Even big killers such as stone-throwing machine tools and crossbows are slow and slow.
In contrast, Lao Luo speculated that his side did not have many confrontation weapons that could be used, but the Turks did not necessarily have anything extraordinary, and Mahmud, who was conquering in India, at most moved war elephants and other things to the north, but that kind of animal weapons to scare the uninformed people or could, against themselves? Don't be funny, a couple of remotely thrown canisters of fire oil will suffice.
When he came back to his senses, Lao Luo realized that these soldiers in front of him had never experienced a bad battle, and he could no longer pin his hopes on their cheer up, no experience is no experience, some things cannot be resisted by will, and they have to force them to fight against several times the enemy, which can only be at the cost of unbearable huge casualties, or collapse and loss of people's hearts.
Cheng Shouru, who had accepted the whipping, walked back slowly, there was no frustration, no embarrassment, no shame on his face, what Lao Luo saw was that the guy who had challenged him with a hundred times more confidence came back.
"Alki, get two cushions and let Lao Cheng sit down." During the march, there were no chairs, and everyone sat on the carpet and made two thick cushions, which was considered to be preferential treatment for the wounded.
Cheng Shouru grinned on the mat, Lao Luo didn't pay special attention to him, and directly began to prepare for the battle, "There are a lot of enemies, are you afraid?" Or do you only bully the weak when you get out of the Sylvan Plains, are you the kind of little ruffian who messes around the streets? And then you meet enemies who just look strong, enemies who just look strong, and you guys are like women hiding at home? ”
Lao Luo's speed of speech was not fast, but the content of his words was very gloomy, this kind of words in this era were more effective than the devil instructors of later generations insulting recruits, and the Tang people who had never experienced this kind of verbal stimulation all began to pant like red-eyed bulls, and the eyes of the former gladiators were full of determination.
"Does anyone think they're the kind of person I say I'm talking about?" Lao Luo accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue, but just used a rhetorical question to determine the attitude of everyone present.
No one spoke, no one spoke, their hearts have been raised, isn't it just fighting? Isn't it just that there are more people? It's okay to cut with a knife, it's good to stab with a spear, it's okay to shoot with an arrow, it's nothing more than a few more cuts, a few more stabs, and a few more arrows. Who would be afraid?
"Well, since everyone is okay, now start issuing combat orders, and I ask you to do your best to carry them out! Do you understand? Lao Luo confirmed the attitude of the people for the last time, which was his habit when he was a mercenary in the later life, to stimulate enthusiasm, and then to determine the will of everyone, a method of mental hints.
"Understood, Lord!" The first to respond were the gladiator-turned-warriors, who had become accustomed to this practice of Lao Luo on the way from Athens to Sylvain.
"Understood, Lord!" Then there was the largest number of Tang warriors, including Cheng Shouru of the garrison camp, who did not respond very neatly.
"Alk, you have to take people to find out where the Turks came from, where they are coming, where they are, how many people they are, and how they are disposed of their weapons...... All these details are required to be as detailed as possible, and of course the premise is to protect yourself, understand? ”
"Understood! Will the Lord! ”
"Helton, I want you to take your men to keep an eye on the merchants and cultists in Mashhad...... All those who have a relationship with the Turkmen, I want to know their recent movements, and I want to know who they have a close relationship with the Turkmen! ”
"As you wish, Lord!"
"Min Monkey, your manpower is still too small, and most of you are novices, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of other tribes in the west and north, especially the Qarluqs and Uyghurs!"
“…… Yes, Lord! ”
"General Cheng, you and several lieutenants under your command do not need to attack, the most important task is to do a good job in the defense of the main camp, from today onwards to strictly control the entry and exit of people inside and outside the main camp, the defense drill has been carried out many times, the floating ball is lifted into the air, once the enemy comes to attack, you have to sit in command, and you are not allowed to drown in the camp, is there a problem?" Treating Cheng Shouru, Lao Luo's attitude is still different after all, there is no way, there is not enough manpower, he wants to preside over the attack, then the person who stays behind can only be Cheng Shouru.
"No problem, Lord!" Cheng Shouru replied very simply, and even began to call the general directly like others from the choice of words, and it seemed that the whip completely sobered him up.
Lao Luo nodded, and turned his gaze to the chief army judge, he admired this strict Germanic man very much, "Sidrknord, I don't need to say much about military discipline, this time I want to add some tasks to you, allowing you to recruit some people among all non-combatants, to monitor the movements within all the main camps, the main purpose is to prevent someone from colluding with the Turks, is there a problem?" ”
"No, Lord!" The stern Germanic stood up straight and gave a standard chest-soothing military salute.
…………
Everyone's task was ordered again, the matter of the military medical officer Haydn completely depends on the usual effort, the affairs of the chief logistics officer Stan do not need to be instructed at all, the matter of supply is already the work of the Viking car, and finally it is the turn of the cavalry school Gonzas, "The cavalry school will start to rest today, replenish the supplies, renovate everyone's equipment, and the equipment of the war horse must be adjusted as soon as possible, wait for the news from the scout camp, always ready to fight, Gonzas, don't look at me, this time it will be a big battle, Then I'll lead you in sweeping away the enemy! ”
"Yes, Lord!" Gonzas reluctantly agreed, no way, if no one is as good as Lao Luo himself in terms of the ability to lead the team, Gonzas knows this kind of thing.
Without so much red tape, a military meeting ended quickly, and it was time to go and go to the busy busy, although it was close to evening after this camping and the end of the meeting time.
Lao Luo also has his own things to do, the task is assigned, he has to count everyone's preparation progress to establish a memorandum, of course, Nuralman is responsible for coordinating, well, including the soldiers of the pro-army team led by Olki.
To be honest, it's not easy to be Lao Luo's personal soldier at all, it's not that you need to be vigilant about safety, it's more because Lao Luo's chores are very much, and the pro-soldier team is simply his service team, and he is dominated to run around every day, and then he is forced to learn all kinds of things, and he has to act as his sparring partner from time to time, but the biggest advantage of this is that everyone around him will get some aspects of exercise, at least after staying by his side for a while, his ability will be greatly improved, It will also open your eyes and see a lot of new things.
Lao Luo's purpose is also the same, after these personal soldiers stay with him for a period of time, they will arrange a comprehensive assessment, and then select the appropriate arrangement to serve as a grassroots officer, this method is learned from the attendant room of Jiang in later generations, in any case, this is a very effective way to master the army.
"Nuralman, what else do I need to do today?" After being busy for a while, he was a little dizzy, and Lao Luo had to ask his "secretary" if there was anything left unfinished.
"No, Lord. It's getting late, it's time for dinner! Nuralman flipped through the notebook in his hand and reminded that as Lao Luo's entourage, the two of them were advancing and retreating together, and he had long felt that he was about to starve to death.
Lao Luo walked out of the tent, looked up at the already starry sky, and rubbed the position of his temples, "Okay, let's go find something to eat." ”
Everyone eats in groups, there are no special cooks, and they are too busy to prepare food, so Lao Luo can only go to Stan's place, or fight the autumn breeze of the soldiers, and of course, he can also go to Li Jiao's side to find good food.
Although the pressure brought by the Turks is a bit great, all the arrangements he should have made have been arranged, and the rest is just to cut people, so that he doesn't have to care so much about forgetting to sleep and eat.
