Chapter 303: Morale (2)

Tens of thousands of slaves walked through the defense line in front of the east gate with difficulty, appeared in front of the two armies, the position of the defenders, the cold light flickered, the horses' hooves were bursting, and the steps were hurried, and it was obvious that an emergency troop transfer was being carried out, and this force, Wang Qinian's several foot battalions also marched forward with neat steps for more than 100 meters.

The slaves strode forward with each other's support, slowly turning into a trot, and finally into a wild run, forward, where there was the hope of life.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help frowning, if they let their army mess up, it would be a joke, "Get out of the way of the two passages, let these comrades pass, and warn them to rush the army formation!" Nokia, who had picked up Nave, did not leave, but stood in the middle of the defensive position, staring at this side with blazing eyes. Li Qing sneered, even if these slaves disrupt my military formation, if you want to come over and fight back, you have to break my foot soldiers first.

"Stop, stop!" Dozens of soldiers with loud voices shouted in unison, and as the soldiers raised their spears, a forest of guns appeared on the road ahead of the slaves, "Stop, all from the passage backwards, otherwise there will be no killing!" The shouts of dozens of soldiers still played a role, and the slaves who rushed to the ground finally slowed down, taking this opportunity, a group of Dingzhou soldiers rushed over and began to reorganize the formation of the slaves, and also took the opportunity to identify whether there was a mixture of annihilation, when the Dingzhou army killed Haninqi in the chaos, and now this kind of thing can not be staged on the side of the Dingzhou people, even if it does not threaten Li Qing, even if it assassinates a general, it is also a very annoying thing.

"Thank you for your life!" I don't know if it was the slave who opened his throat and howled desperately, and all the slaves turned their heads together to look at the mighty general sitting on the horse under the bright red Li Zi banner in the distance.

"Thank you for your life!" Countless people shouted, the first row of people knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and the people behind did the same, falling down in rows, kowtowing to the banner like pounding garlic.

Looking at the tears on the faces of these unclothed and withered slaves and the fanatical gratitude in their eyes, Li Qing couldn't help but feel very emotional, these people were exiled in a foreign land and suffered a lot of poison, in the final analysis, it was caused by the inaction of these people in power back then, but now, you just saved their lives, their youth, their health, and their wealth have all turned into ashes, but these simple people are still very grateful.

Li Qing wanted to go to these slaves, but Tang Hu immediately reached out and grabbed the reins of his horse, "Dashuai, you can't go over!" ”

"Why?" Li Qing said angrily, "Don't you see my people kowtowing to me, I'm going to say a few words to them!" ”

"No way!" Tang Hu couldn't say anything, just grabbed the reins of the horse, "You can't go over." ”

Wang Qinian on the side also said: "Dashuai, you can't go over, these slaves haven't been identified yet, maybe there are barbarian assassins hidden inside, Dashuai, have you forgotten how Haningqi was assassinated by Director Qingfeng back then?" ”

Li Qing exhaled hatefully, "I'll say a few words, and you let the soldiers shout out together." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Wang Qinian immediately recruited a group of loud-voiced soldiers.

"Fellow comrades, you have suffered!" Li Qing said loudly. Dozens of soldiers immediately acted as a microphone and shouted Li Qing's words out loud.

"We are coming, and you are saved! Don't worry about your future, Dingzhou will give you land, plough cattle, give you houses, and help you find your relatives! ”

Every time Li Qing said a word, the soldiers shouted loudly, so that tens of thousands of people in the whole army could hear it clearly.

"Thank you for staying alive until our arrival, you are very important to Dingzhou! Your relatives need you, me, Li Qing, also need you, Dingzhou needs you to contribute your own strength, let us build Dingzhou into an extremely strong together, so that no one can come to plunder you and enslave you! ”

"Long live the handsome!" The slaves shouted in ecstasy, it was their surprise to come back alive, and now that the commander had promised to help them rebuild their homes, what could be happier? I don't know who it is, as soon as this sentence came out, it was followed by a tsunami-like sound of long live, first slaves, then soldiers.

Li Qing frowned slightly, is long live shouting blindly? Now there is still the princess of Allure in the camp!

"The Dingzhou army is mighty! Dingzhou Army wins! Li Qing raised his arms and shouted!

In an instant, the cry of Wan Sheng became the roar of Wan Sheng under the leadership of Li Qing.

"Order, pass through the military formation in an orderly manner, and are the preparations for the slaves in the back ready?" Li Qing asked.

"Don't worry, Dashuai, everything is ready, this batch of slaves will be repaired a little today, and tomorrow they will return to Dingzhou with the slaves who arrived in the early stage and then transport them together!" Wang Qinian said.

Watching the groups of slaves leave the battlefield in an orderly manner along the passage, Li Qing couldn't help but smile on his face, looking back at the enemy position at the east gate, Nokia had disappeared without a trace.

"Daddy, daddy, is it really you?" In the thick military formation, a voice suddenly came out, and a young soldier suddenly howled loudly, threw away the spear in his hand, came out of the crowd, hugged a skinny old man, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.

The old man opened his cloudy eyes, just glanced at it, and his eyes gave off light, and he grabbed the armored soldier in front of him, "Little leopard, it's really you, you're not dead, you're still alive!" Poor God, little leopard, you will never see your mother again! ”

The father and son hugged their heads and cried, and at the same time, between the two passages, dozens of Dingzhou soldiers recognized their relatives.

"Iron Leopard, return to the team!" A lieutenant shouted angrily. Iron Leopard hugged his father and cried bitterly, ignoring the captain's orders.

"Iron Leopard, what crime should you be guilty of messing with our army formation! Take! The two soldiers responded, and although their eyes were red, they did not hesitate to cut the iron leopard's arms neatly and twist them to the ground.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, spare my leopard!" The old man looked at the lieutenant in alarm, fell to his knees and cried.

"Uncle, the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, the iron leopard violates the military law, messes with our army's formation, and does not punish him, how can I be disciplined by the state of Dingzhou, please go over quickly!"

Li Qing stared at the dozens of tragicomedies that took place in the passage, and asked in a low voice, "Huzi, how should these people be punished?" ”

Wang Qinian said: "Marshal, this is still the rules and regulations you set back then, before the war, we disrupted our army's formation, and those who did not listen to orders will be killed!" ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Today's big joy is said, the murder is unknown, bring them here!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Qinian passed down the order, and in a moment, dozens of soldiers who violated military discipline were twisted in front of Li Qing, and the dozens of slaves who came with him were probably their relatives.

"I've seen the big handsome!" Dozens of soldiers were pressed to the ground, and the accompanying military judge strode forward and bowed to Li Qing, "Commander, thirty-two soldiers who have seriously violated military discipline have been brought." ”

"Well, Judge Jun, what about their crimes?" Li Qing asked.

"Back to the marshal, before the war, go out of the ranks without authorization, mess up our army's formation, and be beheaded according to the law!" The military judge said loudly with a blank face.

As soon as these words came out, dozens of slaves who had just found their relatives and were overjoyed, suddenly their knees weakened and fell to the ground, "Spare your life!" ”

"What do you say?" Li Qing looked at the dozens of prisoners. Most of the dozens of people were pale, and they had just experienced the joy of finding their loved ones, and in an instant it was a great sorrow, and heaven and hell were gone all over again in a while.

"Dashuai, Dashuai!" Iron Leopard raised his head with a strong struggle: "Iron Leopard violated military discipline and didn't dare to beg the marshal to spare his life, but please let me be the first to rush up and kill the barbarian and die on the battlefield!" Iron Leopard has no regrets about dying! ”

"It's a good man!" Li Qing clapped his hands, turned his head and asked the military judge, "Military judge, this group of people deserves to be punished for their crimes, and their feelings are pitiful, can they open the net!" ”

The military law bowed down, "The marshal, the grace comes from above, the marshal wants to dismiss them, and the last general has nothing to say, but there is this case, and some people will inevitably follow suit in the future, and it will not be beneficial to my Dingzhou military discipline!" ”

Li Qing nodded, jumped off the horse, Huo Di pulled out his waist knife, and said loudly: "Brothers, although these soldiers have violated the military discipline of our army and deserve to be punished for their crimes, their feelings are pitiful, and now I will ask for a favor for them!" Stretched out his hand and grabbed a strand of his hair, swung the knife with a slash, the knife broke over, and he stretched out his hand to sprinkle the broken hair in the air, "I cut the knife to die on their behalf, and let them make meritorious service on their behalf, can I!" ”

"Great handsome mercy!" Around Li Qing, the soldiers bowed down in unison and said loudly.

"But this is only one case, and if there is another offender, it will not be spared, can you have any objections?" Li Qingsen said.

"It's all up to the commander's orders, and we have no objections!"

"Good!" Li Qing choked, returned the knife to the sheath, and said loudly: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. ”

The prisoners who knelt on the ground escaped death, and under the surprise of surprise, they couldn't help but cry and communicate, and their relatives cried bitterly, and there were already two soldiers serving one, and they stripped off the shirts of the prisoners in three or two, and shouted: "Kneel! ”

Thirty-two soldiers knelt straight on the snow, their backs straight. Behind them, thirty-two soldiers with long horsewhips in their hands shouted: "Brother, hold on, don't lie down!" With a flick of his wrist, there was a crisp snap, and a blood mark immediately appeared on the back of the thirty-two people, and his body shook, but he immediately straightened up again.

"I am willing to die for the handsome!" The Iron Leopard gritted his teeth and held back the pain and shouted loudly.

There was another whip crack.

"I am willing to die for the handsome!" This time, thirty-two soldiers howled in unison. Their relatives clenched their fists tightly and held back tears.

There was another snap, and this time, not only the thirty-two prisoners, but also the surrounding soldiers shouted in unison.

"I am willing to die for the handsome!"

The shouts soon spread throughout the battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers once again roared in unison.

By the time the twenty lashes were over, the thirty-two men had become blood gourds, and the medic on one side hurriedly pounced on the prisoners to give medicine and wrap up their wounds. Li Qing came to the group, looked at the iron leopard who was on the head, and said with a smile: "Well, you are very good, if you can survive this battle, come to me to be a personal guard!" ”
