Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Soldier's Heart Is Available
When the news of Dong Zhuo's death reached Anding, the morale of Anding's army was already low, and Chen Xun hurriedly set out to fight, and the rapid march for days made the morale extremely low. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć By the way, even the morale of the Dragon and Tiger Army is low.
Chen Xun and Jia Xu Li Ru came to the school field, looking at the demoralized Dragon and Tiger Army, their hearts couldn't help but sink, the Dragon and Tiger Army was his own soldiers, and even their morale was so low, it was conceivable that the morale of the other armies was so low.
Chen Xun let out a long breath and tried to keep his voice as steady as possible.
"Soldiers, tell me, what is the purpose of your soldiers, and why did you join the Dragon and Tiger Army."
Chen Xun's sudden words made the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army slightly stunned, but the strict military regulations told them not to make noise on the school field.
"Today, I am not your general, but your brother, and you can speak freely about anything."
A bold soldier looked around, and then said: "Of course, being a soldier is to have enough to eat, and then marry a good daughter-in-law, as for why you joined the Dragon and Tiger Army, it is because the treatment of the Dragon and Tiger Army is twice that of other military camps, and the general said that he will engrave the names of the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army on the stone tablet and put it outside Luoyang City. ā
After the bold soldier finished speaking, there was a small discussion around him, and it was obvious that most of the Dragon and Tiger officers and soldiers still agreed with the bold soldier's words.
Chen Xun paced on the ground, and when the soldier finished speaking, he stopped and said, "That brother is right, we are soldiers just to have something to eat, a daughter-in-law to sleep with, and if possible, to glorify our ancestors." Chen Xun's words were a bit vulgar, but they greatly shortened the distance between him and the soldiers.
"However, some people just don't look down on us, for their own selfish interests, they kill Dong Xiangguo, they are tyrannical in Luoyang City, rob my land, fight for our women, kidnap Your Majesty, and frame us as rebels, brothers, what should we do with such people."
"Kill, kill, kill." The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army let out indignation, and their voices resounded in the sky.
If the enemy uses strong means to intimidate us and slander us, then we will use stronger means to tell him our determination...... Only by defeating them and regaining Your Majesty can we take back our house, women, and all the glory that belongs to us. ā
The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army were silent, they knew that Chen Xun's words were very reasonable. But they also knew that Chen Xun would speak on the school field because he was going on an expedition, and they were the vanguard. It is unknown how many will return.
Chen Xun clenched his fists and shouted in place: "I am the main general, and I am the first soldier, who dares to die with me." ā
Jia Xu and Li Ru, who had not spoken behind Chen Xun, were shocked when they heard this, Chen Xunnai was the chief general of the first army, how could he easily get into danger.
"Lord, never!" , Jia Xu and Li Ru hurriedly stopped, and when Chen Xun chose to send troops, Li Ru called Chen Xun the lord, because Dong Zhuo's last wish was that Chen Xun inherited his family business.
Chen Xun looked at the two of them, shook his head, and said, "I have made up my mind, so I have to dissuade you." I am the Lord's general, if I can't be the first, how can I convince the soldiers, and how can I get back the glory we deserve. ā
The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army showed ashamed faces, Chen Xun's life was much more valuable than theirs.
The bold soldier just now came out of the ranks and said, "General, my Zhao Ergou has no wife, and my mother is also sick and dead, so let me go out with the general this time." ā
"Brother, you are a real man, I, Chen Xun, promise here, as long as our army takes Chang'an and returns to Luoyang, then I will personally tell you a family affair."
"He Zhao Ergou is from the forbidden army, how can he compare to our old brothers in Liangzhou, general, we will go with you, we will kill him without leaving a piece of armor, by the way, general, many of us have not yet married, you will also help us talk about it after you win." Hundreds of soldiers knelt down with smiles on their faces. They were all survivors of the Liangzhou War that year, and they were also the most loyal people.
"Li Wang, what are you talking about, you veterans of the Dragon and Tiger Army are not afraid of death, and there are no bad breeds from our forbidden army." Hundreds more fell to their knees.
Looking at the soldiers who were kneeling, the rest of the Dragon and Tiger Army looked at each other and fell to their knees one after another.
"We are willing to die for the general, and we will not hesitate to do so."
Chen Xun looked at the team he brought up single-handedly, and couldn't help but burst into tears, they were the real warriors, his brothers Chen Fuzhi.
Li Ru and Jia Xu, who were watching from behind, also had mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Father-in-law didn't misunderstand you, supplement." Li Ru looked at Chen Xun in front of him, and swore in his heart that he was willing to follow him to the death.
And Jia Xu looked at Chen Xun in front of him, but a strange idea appeared in his heart, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then, also inspired morale like this.
"Soldiers, our first battle is the Lingwu camp in Lingwu County, they are like a nail, blocking the march route of our army, but there are 10,000 defenders in the Lingwu camp, and the rebel general Li Meng is stationed, and now it is urgent to withdraw." Chen Xun deliberately said that the eight thousand defenders of the Lingwu camp were ten thousand, and deliberately lengthened the tone of the last sentence.
"Our Dragon and Tiger Army has no seeds, and 10,000 horses is not enough for us to stuff our teeth." The officers and men of the Dragon and Tiger Army were excited and asked Chen Xun to fight.
Chen Xun and Jia Xu and Li Ru glanced at each other and conveyed a meaning to them.
"The military heart is available."
In the Lingwu camp, Li Meng, a rebel general of the Xiliang Army, was reading the information of the Anding Army. According to the intelligence, the morale of the Anding Army was low after receiving the news that Dong Zhuo had died, and with Chen Xun's rapid march for several days, the morale had fallen to the extreme.
A bold idea arose in Li Meng's heart, he was ordered to garrison Lingwu County, and set up a Lingwu camp outside the county to block Chen Xun's army, and there were 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
"Pass the order and send the seven thousand defenders of Lingwu County to the Lingwu camp."
Lingwu County is very close to the Lingwu camp, and the seven thousand soldiers arrived in the morning and evening and stationed in the Lingwu camp.
Looking at the soldiers of Lingwu County who came to support, Li Meng showed a look of self-satisfaction on his face, as if he had now defeated Chen Fuzhi, who was famous all over the world.
And at this moment, there seemed to be some noisy sound from the sky.
The soldiers at the gate of the camp shrugged their eyelids and looked into the distance, only to see a group of small black spots rushing from a distance.
The soldiers were startled and shouted in place: "The enemy is attacking the camp." ā
