Chapter 119: Cannon Fodder

Originally, Wang Dalun was ready to be unable to keep up with the logistics during the attack, after all, it was a difficult thing to transport 20,000 people to eat on such a snowy day. But what I didn't expect was that Xian Kejin's promise to Wang Dalun was not just talking.

In order to fulfill his promise, Xian Kejin almost emptied the treasury of several counties around the meander, and strictly ordered the county magistrates to send grain at the specified time. In short, he just wants the result! If you can't do it, go home and nibble on old rice.

Under Xian Kejin's strict orders, the county magistrates also transferred the pressure given to them by their superiors to the governors of each township, and the people are not enough? Then every household will be out! Not enough animal power? Then all the mules and horses and the cattle of the large families were requisitioned, and at last they had to do everything possible to ensure the supply.

So on the second day after Wang Dalun just finished preparing for the war, it may be that Tiangong is sympathetic to the people who are transporting grain in the snow, so the sky is rarely clear! When the men saw that the weather was improving, they could not help but cheer, and they hurried to get the grain in time.

When the steady stream of grain trucks entered the camp, Wang Dalun looked at the ragged and shivering people, sighed secretly, and instructed the escort scribe: "When you go back, tell the governor that there is no need to send so much food, we will find a way to solve it, the people are too bitter!" ”

After Wang Dalun arranged for the people to have a full meal and let them rest well, he then ordered the soldiers to have a full meal and prepare for the next day.

On the second day, the drums, which were not usually sounded in the army, began to beat in the early morning. The heavy drum beat in people's hearts, and people felt the urgency of the imminent war.

Breakfast in the army was an hour earlier than usual, and the food was very good, and there was meat, but the soldiers ate silently, and no one spoke, and they were all enjoying this rare tranquility, because the battle was about to die, and no one dared to be sure that they would live to eat the dinner in the evening.

The speed of the march was not high, and they formed an attack formation. Slowly entered the attack area. Wang Zishun and the others saw that Wang Dalun was coming, and they also lined up the attack formation early, and both sides were very silent, only the heralds on both sides passed the latest orders back and forth in the formation.

Wang Dalun stood on his horse. Looking at the crowd on the opposite side. I didn't feel a little nervous. Because there are too many people on the other side. However, there are a lot of people on the other side, but they are messy, and their side has already formed a team. There are also people on the other side who are still skewering like headless flies.

However, it may be the first time that the soldiers have seen such a large-scale battle, and the number of opponents is several times higher than their own, and although some soldiers do not speak, their blue faces and trembling feet betray them, and it seems that they are still very nervous.

Wang Dalun decided to do something, at least to boost morale, otherwise if the other party continues like this, the other party will collapse as soon as he charges, so what kind of battle will he fight.

Wang Dalun stepped forward with a slap on his horse, walked around in front of the formation, and then asked in a loud voice: "Soldiers!" There are more people on the other side than us, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted.

Wang Dalun nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "The other party is four times as many as us, and you are not afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you!" Wang Dalun shouted.

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted loudly, and with this roar, the people who had been nervous just now suddenly felt that they were not so nervous.

"Good!" Wang Dalun shouted: "It is worthy of my Wang Dalun's soldiers, no matter how many opponents my soldiers encounter or what kind of enemies they encounter, they will not be afraid!" Because we are the strongest, we have been rigorously trained, we have the best weapons in our hands, and we are not afraid of anyone! ”

"My soldiers must dare to show their swords to each other, we are the strongest soldiers in the world, we are the strongest! No matter what kind of opponent, in front of us is a result, death! We are invincible! Wang Dalun shouted excitedly.

"Invincible, invincible!" The soldier shouted loudly, as if to shout out all the tension and distractions in his heart.

"You've seen the people on the other side, are they stricter trained than you?"

"Nope!" It was another roar.

"Are they better armed than you are?" Wang Dalun asked, pointing to the hoes and wooden roots held by some soldiers on the opposite side.

"Nope!"

"Are they stronger than you?" Wang Dalun asked again, pointing to the ragged soldier with a yellow face and thin muscles on the opposite side.

"Nope!" The soldiers yelled again.

"That's right! In addition to the fact that the other party has more people than us, what advantages do they have? The people on the other side are a rabble, a group of local chickens and dogs! They are not our enemies, they are a herd of pigs, and they are here to give us credit! Brothers, if you want to seal your wife and cute son, and if you want to soar to Huang Tengda, just recently, everyone will fight for me to kill the enemy! ”

"Fight bravely to kill the enemy, seal the wife and cute son! Fight bravely to kill the enemy and seal your wife and cute son! The soldiers shouted wildly, at this moment their fighting spirit was guided out by Wang Dalun, listening to Wang Dalun's words, what they wanted at the moment was to develop through meritorious service, as for the nervousness, they had already flown out of the clouds.

Wang Dalun saw that the soldiers' fighting spirit was mobilized, he nodded very proudly, and then shouted: "Beat the drum and advance!" Prepare to attack! ”

The deafening drum began to sound, the drum beat was very rapid, this knocking sound made people's hearts beat faster, the soldiers began to advance gradually under the guidance of the drums, and the neat footsteps and the drum melee made the atmosphere of this battlefield more solemn.

Seeing that Wang Dalun's side began to slowly press over, and the drums sounded, I saw that the peasants who had just thrown down their hoes for a few days in the front row were driven up, they were the cannon fodder who fought in the front, and they didn't even have a decent weapon in their hands, just some wooden roots, and some forks and hoes.

The cannon fodder was still a peasant a few days ago, so they had seen this kind of battle, and seeing the enemy on the opposite side lined up in a neat queue, stepping on a neat pace and slowly pressing over, their hearts couldn't help but panic for a while, and they stopped one after another, wanting to flee behind.

But how could the Overseers who were overseeing the war behind them succeed in their attempt? Why did they catch and lure so many people together, it was just to let them take the lead. The value of their existence is to consume bows and arrows and ammunition on the opposite side.

"I'll go back, go back! Those who dare to retreat, don't blame the knife in Lao Tzu's hand for being unkind! All rush up to Lao Tzu! There are not as many of them as we are, and they will be overwhelmed as soon as they rush! Think about your family, if you dare to retreat, not only will you not survive, but your family will not survive! Damn it, rush forward for me! ”

The overseers held the knives in their hands and forced the cannon fodder to rush up, and for some of the grinding ones, they punched and kicked desperately.

The cannon fodder is helpless, if you go up, you will die, and if you don't go up, you will die, I hope that as the people of the overseer team said, they can defeat the officers and soldiers on the other side, and then their families can be released, and they can also eat enough. So they screamed and rushed forward waving their farming tools.

Seeing the vanguard on the opposite side rushing up, Wang Dalun said coldly: "Prepare to attack!" ”

With Wang Dalun's order, the soldiers stopped advancing, and the musketeers began to stand in a three-stage attack mode, and when the soldiers loaded their ammunition, the cannon fodder also entered the attack range, and with the order of the commander of the front row, the muskets began to "pop" and began to slaughter one-sidedly.

The muskets rang out, and the cannon fodder who was running and charging were hit one after another, and one by one a cloud of blood mist flashed, and then fell. The cannon fodder was horrified, and those who were not hit were immediately frightened and turned around and ran, this attack was too terrifying, and the first one to run was basically hit.

Seeing that the cannon fodder had retreated, the people of the overseer team quit, they rushed forward with their knives, cut down the few people who retreated the fastest, and then shouted: "Those who retreat are killed!" Rush up for me, dare to hesitate, don't blame the knife for being ruthless! ”

As soon as the cannon fodder saw it, they couldn't retreat, and they couldn't go up, so they had to sigh, and then turned around and rushed towards the official camp, they rushed very fast at the beginning, and rushed to the place where someone fell, they all slowed down and began to grind and not move forward.

The people of the Overseer were dissatisfied, and with Wang Zishun's order, they saw that the people of the Overseer began to rush out, they brandished their knives, and shouted as they ran: "Rush forward for me, and those who dare not obey the order will be killed!" ”

Forced by the knives of the Warlords, the cannon fodder began to grit their teeth and charge again, and when they entered the attack range, the muskets unsurprisingly rang out again, and more people fell to the ground. They were so frightened by the attackers that they ran away.

But this time they didn't run a few steps, because the Overseers were waiting for them outside the range of the muskets, and they lined up and shouted coldly, "Give me all back!" If you dare to retreat, you will be killed! ”

"Please spare us! Our people are dying! The fire guns on the other side are so powerful that we can't rush up at all! "The cannon fodder began to plead bitterly and rush forward, there is no life or death.

But the people of the Overseer were all hard-hearted, and they were not moved at all, and they pointed their knives at the kneeling man: "Hurry up for me, if you don't rush, we will kill you immediately!" If you want to survive, you have to rush up for me! ”

Seeing that it was useless to beg for mercy, the kneeling men got up, wept and rushed forward, and they had just taken a few steps when muskets rang out and another fell to the ground.

The cannon fodder retreated again, but when they saw that the people of the Overseer still wouldn't let them retreat, someone shouted angrily: "It's all death, fighting with them is better than being killed by muskets in vain!" They began to attack the Warlords with their farming tools. (To be continued......)
