Chapter 586 - One Heart
"I know that a lot of people here don't think there's a need to fight today!" Wang Yu was indeed speaking, and he did not mince words to point out the reason for the low morale of Langya Yulin.
"It's not to defend your hometown, there's no unusually rich booty, and you still have 100,000 strong soldiers behind you, so why risk dying and being outnumbered here? Even if you win the battle, it will only achieve my reputation as a hussar general, and it will not do you any good, but will cost you your lives......"
Standing in front of the Thousand Armies, Wang Yu looked around at everyone with a solemn gaze: "This is indeed not a good thing, when you joined the Hussar Army, it was to survive, and it was also because you were optimistic about the future of Qingzhou, and you wanted to make a name for yourself in the army, and return to your hometown in the future. ”
He paused slightly, allowing the soldiers to digest the shock caused by his sudden words, which did indeed speak to the hearts of most people.
The veterans of the hussars have long been accustomed to being outnumbered, attacking strong enemies with weakness, and then turning the tables. Although the current situation is unfavorable, it does not make them feel pessimistic and hopeless.
Although Zhao Yun and Wei Yan also had many recruits under their command, the combination of veterans and recruits was very effective, as long as there was one veteran in ten people, the recruits would be influenced by it, and they would accept the view of the hussars in their training that they should look down on the world, and they believed in it.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yu has to recuperate after expanding the army, without a period of integration, the addition of new recruits will not help to improve combat effectiveness, but will have the risk of being out of touch.
At present, the Sixth Army has completed the rectification, and only Langya Yulin is an exception. This army is completely composed of soldiers, although the combat power and quality of the soldiers are not bad, but it lacks the momentum of the hussars, and there is still a big gap from the strong soldiers in Wang Yu's mind.
It's not that no one tried to remind Wang Yu. But the problem is that the identity of Zhangjaw's unit is very sensitive, it is an existence of a thousand gold, and it is a model and benchmark for the Qingzhou Army to recruit and surrender rebellions. If it weren't for the surrender of Zhang Jaw, the military system of the hussars had almost been finalized, and Wang Yu almost listed them separately and named each army after the Big Dipper.
Whether it is to send generals to this army, or to break it up and reorganize, it is not in line with Wang Yu's aesthetics. It is also inconsistent with the concept of employing people that he advocates and shows to the outside world.
Although Jia Xu and other advisers saw this drawback, they felt that letting Zhang Jaw maintain the status quo would be conducive to recruiting and rebelling in the future, so they only reminded a few words and did not make a strong admonition. Let alone. Jia Xu felt that the direction of Xuzhou was not the focus of Qingzhou's strategy, and putting Zhangjaw's army in this direction complemented each other.
But the world is unpredictable, even with Jia Xu's wisdom, he didn't expect that Wang Yu would face such a situation. It is necessary to take this non-descendant army as the main force to fight such a difficult battle.
Changed to the hussar lineage, where did Wang Yu need to say so much before the war, as long as he stood in front of everyone. Roaring a few times, morale was immediately boosted, and the fighting spirit was like a rainbow.
But now, he's going to have to use some skill. First cause the soldiers to think, and then give the fierce medicine. Of course. His current medicine is already very strong.
At this moment, brave people such as Zhang Jaw and Xu Sheng had a flush of ochre on their faces, and they were excited by Wang Yu's very realistic and somewhat damaging words. If Wang Yu used the usual method of agitation, such a heat would be almost there.
But for most soldiers, this was not enough, because there was a look of confusion and confusion on their faces. With a sense of honor, it can arouse the fighting spirit of those who attach importance to honor, if Tai Shici is here, after hearing these words, I am afraid that he will already scream, and he will not be able to hold back and will pounce down the mountain.
But the Jizhou soldiers don't care about these, from the moment of defeat and surrender, the honor has nothing to do with them, what Wang Yu said, not only can not arouse their fighting spirit, but let many people who don't think thoroughly about their own circumstances think more clearly.
Isn't it, being a soldier by yourself is just to make ends meet? What is the need to fight this kind of battle now?
"Isn't the Lord trying to boost morale? Morale seems to be lower now, right? Pang Tong wondered.
He and Zhuge Liang are young after all, relying on their talent and talent, they can help in government affairs, and the counselor military aircraft has also made many achievements, but when it comes to real swords and guns, it will not be of much use. In this battle, Wang Yu assigned the task of the two of them to watch the battle, and it would be best if they could hand in two reviews after the war.
For Wang Yu's unobtrusive order, both of them couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time they also had the feeling of being underestimated, secretly holding back their strength, planning to watch the battle seriously, and strive to see the mystery when the war was at its most tense, and turn things around with a word.
Before Wang Yu spoke to the army, the two had already seen Wang Yu's strategy of mobilizing Cao Bao clearly.
Wang Yu's grasp of the enemy's psychology amazed the two. Even the failure of the tentative attack can be exploited, and it has been transformed into a strategy to pride the enemy, taking advantage of Cao Bao's greed and suspicion of allies, and it is needless to say that it is needless to say that he will lead the enemy into the game.
And the general layout of this battle, the two also understood, it was nothing more than a frontal formation, containing the enemy's main force, standing until the stalemate, with cavalry assault, and then opening up the situation.
The plan was simple and effective, and it didn't seem to have much mystery, but with 4,000 soldiers facing an army of 15,000 and only more than 3,000 people fighting head-on, it was not easy to complete the plan.
What Pang Tong and the others have never figured out is, how can Wang Yu successfully surprise when the enemy knows that there is an ambush? This is undoubtedly a big topic, and what Wang Yu is doing now is to boost morale, which is a very key part of it.
Zhuge Liang muttered: "There should be some mysterious ......" said as he tried to think hard, trying to find a similar situation from the past and present war examples.
Breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, fighting against the water?
It's not like that! The terrain of Maling Mountain is not generally suitable for escaping, and if you hide in the rolling hills, even if you are an eagle in the sky, you can't find anyone.
Know it with reason, move it with emotion?
Still not like it! The human heart is very complicated, and the more clearly the truth is explained, the more people think, and the more they think, the weaker their will becomes. Zhuge Liang observed the training of hussars. I also listened to the analysis of war cases taught by instructors including Wang Yu in the academy, and I also thought about and figured it out. He believes that the less a soldier knows and the more single his conviction is, the stronger his combat power will be.
The most extreme, and also the most typical, example is the Yellow Turban Lux. As soon as the fanaticism of these believers came up, they immediately became immensely powerful and invulnerable, and the reason was not complicated, because it was pure. So strong, with only one thought in your head, you can exert the most powerful power.
What Wang Yu is doing now is obviously at odds with the truth that Zhuge Liang comprehended.
If it weren't for these. I can only think about it.
Wang Yu's words were very effective for Zhang Jaw and his personal soldiers, these people had participated in the battle of Gaotang, and their sense of identity with the hussars was relatively high, and Zhang Jaw was a long-famous general in Jizhou, even if he was forced to surrender, his sense of honor would not be lost.
But. There were only about 2,000 people who followed Zhang Jaw in that battle, and they had been fighting on the front line at that time, and almost half of them died after the war and retired due to injuries. Zhang Jaw governed the army in Langya. Many veterans have been sent out to serve as officers, and now there are only about 500 people around them, which cannot play a decisive role.
After guessing and guessing, the two genius boys still couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Yu's gourd. Wang Yu's short pause also made Zhuge Liang feel particularly long. Particular impatience.
Finally, under the expectation of everyone, Wang Yu spoke again, but as soon as he spoke, he said amazingly: "I don't like the difficulty of strong people, and today is the same, I will give you a chance to choose, whether to fight, to go, all by voluntariness, you can make a decision now!" ”
"Wow!" Zhang Jaw can't control the thoughts of the soldiers, but he is still very strict in governing the army, if you don't look at the mental state, only look at the surface, no one can deny that this is an army that is forbidden by order. But as soon as Wang Yu's words came out, Zhangjaw's strict military law also lost its effect, and the whole army was in an uproar.
"Ming Gonghe...... What did you say? Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Pang Tong is also dumb-eyed, at this time, people can decide to stay, can this battle be fought?
The enemy has already appeared in sight, at most ten miles, no, maybe not even five! At this juncture, as long as someone takes the lead, the rout will be established, which is not something that can be reversed by manpower!
"Isn't anyone leaving?" Everyone was shocked, but Wang Yu was especially disgusted, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Don't worry, I won't be talking back, every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, I, Wang Yu, swear here, the sky is proof, and I will never hold those who leave today accountable, if there is a violation, he will die under the arrows one day!" ”
Words are like golden stones, loud and sound! In the bursts of suppressed breathing, it was extremely loud, like spring thunder, echoing in everyone's hearts.
"Lord ......" Zhang Jaw was very uneasy, and wanted to explain, but as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Wang Yu, and he said loudly: "Those who leave, they are not considered to have escaped from the battle, and they will still be the people under the rule of my Qingzhou in the future, even if they will not be able to fight here today, this is just as valid, so those who want to leave do not need to have more scruples......"
Seeing that more and more people's eyes began to flicker, Wang Yu suddenly changed his words: "Of course, as long as you leave today, you can no longer be counted as a soldier, nor can you serve in the official office, and all the preferential treatment related to soldiers will be canceled." ”
Without waiting for everyone to react, he replied to himself, "Isn't it fair? There is nothing unfair, everyone has a home, the country is everyone's home, in the face of danger, if you dare not stand up, then you do not deserve to enjoy the support and respect of the people! ”
"It's dangerous to stay and fight, you're going to get hurt, you're going to die, after all, there's a huge disparity between us and you. However, even if they die, they still sacrifice their lives for the country, and there will be people who will remember them from generation to generation. ”
"Dead or alive warriors who thwart the ambitions of careerists!"
"It is the warriors who are dead or alive who bring peace and stability to one side!"
Wang Yu looked around at everyone, and his expression became more and more generous and intense: "It is they who make the prestige of the Han Dynasty resound everywhere the sun shines!" ”
"The victory or defeat of the war never depends on the number of people, the brave who meet on the narrow road wins, the victory or defeat is in one mind, only courage! Those who have courage can be outnumbered and defeated, and those who do not have courage can only taste defeat by outnumbering! ”
Wang Yu Huo Ran turned around and shouted without looking back: "Courageous people, take a step forward, today, let's live and die together, and fight happily!" ”
The roar was thunderous and shocking.
"Hejian opens his jaw, willing to serve the Lord! I am willing to die for the Great Han! Shaped like a mountain, he opened his jaw and roared in response.
Behind him, figures flickered and roared.
"Chengyang Xu Sheng, willing to serve the Lord! I am willing to die for the Great Han! ”
"Tired of Liu Yang, I wish to ......"
Xu Sheng and more people stepped forward, and the noon eyes and high-spirited fighting spirit shone on the warriors' bodies, and their faces were dyed red all over their bodies, as if they were wearing blood-stained red armor!
