CHAPTER XLII
Therefore, Baili Wuji was bent on professionalizing the army, and although the financial pressure on the imperial court increased at a certain level, it was reorganized and abolished through guò, and it was controlled in terms of quantity.
In this way, being a soldier has become a profession, which not only builds a sense of pride among soldiers, but also enables more civilians to put into production, which in turn promotes the development of society.
Just imagine, the difference between a standing army of two million and a standing army of one million.
This is not just a loss of one million, but a continuous reaction caused by the production of this million, which represents one million families, and the social benefits are undoubtedly huge.
When Baili Wuji handed over the Military Intelligence Institute to Xu Shouren, most of the personnel selection came from the army at the beginning, and most of the people Xu Shouren brought to Dali to carry out the mission this time were these personnel.
It can be said that these personnel are the backbone of the military intelligence agency, as well as the seeds.
And this team has been ordered to leave Dali Mansion until now, and there are only twenty-three people left.
The so-called veterans do not die, what does not die is the spirit.
A spirit that can hand over the back to a comrade-in-arms and a spirit that resolutely leaves the opportunity to live to a comrade-in-arms.
Baili Wuji's intention to sow the soul of the soldier into the hearts of the soldiers is like this, as long as an army passes on the soul, every recruit who enters will be infected by this kind of male enthusiasm, become a staunch defender, and when he becomes a veteran, he will be a competent sower.
This is also an important reason why the Ming army was invincible for twenty years.
There are often armies that are not afraid of death.
Armies that are not afraid of death are usually short-lived, after a moment of glory. Quickly disappear into the vast river of history.
But a team that can keep its death to itself and its comrades to its comrades is invincible, and it is as if it had life. It can be self-reflective, self-healing, and self-improving.
After a person is saved by his comrades-in-arms, he still can't reflect and be grateful, and there are not many people who want to come to this world.
When the ten Ming Kingdom guards rushed out and removed the remaining ammunition from their bodies, Duan Susu cried loudly, she was no longer afraid at this time, and even had an urge to step forward with these ten people.
The scene of even a young girl being infected is undoubtedly shocking.
But the thirteen people left behind were expressionless. It's not that they're numb, it's that they know they're having a heavier task. If a responsibility is shared among 100 people, it is 1 percent, but if it is shared by only 13 people, it is 13 percent.
From the bottom of my heart. These thirteen people hoped that the opportunity to rush forward would be grabbed by themselves.
Such a military man is invincible.
But it's the spirit that is invincible. Not physically.
The ten escorts, charging with only two grenades, were the first to throw the first grenade together at the moment of rushing, quickly approaching the enemy under the cover of dust and smoke from the explosion of ten grenades.
To approach is to die with the enemy.
But their task is not only to die with the enemy, but also to delay the enemy's pursuit of their comrades behind.
So, on the way forward, the ten people quickly divided into three rows. For four, three, three.
So there were four people in the first row, and it was because they wanted to delay the enemy's speed. It needs to be the first to speak. At the same time, the first wave of such suicide attacks often has the greatest results, due to the enemy's lack of preparedness.
Therefore, the first wave of four people was put in order to maximize the results.
Sure enough, the distance of more than ten zhang was in the short time when the two sides were hedging.
The killer pursued by Gao Zhiping was blown up by the first wave of explosions of the Ming guards, and the explosion involved at least ten people, making the assassin's pursuit posture one of them.
Man is indeed very strange, and he will only remember it after he has personally experienced the dangers and lessons learned.
Just as when the elders teach their children, no matter how much they advise, no matter how many times they are advised, they will not be able to make the children remember them.
This Jun assassin accompanied Gao Zhiping to witness the whole process of the two waves of Ming daredevils blocking the sampan, and should have been warned by this attack of the Ming people.
If the formation is scattered during the pursuit, the damage caused can naturally be minimized.
But unfortunately, these people just witnessed it and immediately forgot about it.
The dense formation of the charge gave Akito the best chance of attacking in the first wave.
After all, the assassin is a human being, and even human beings will have a subconscious reaction to danger, so after experiencing this tragic scene, the subconscious reaction of the remaining assassins is to squat down or lie down, holding their heads tightly with both hands, as if as long as they hold their heads, they can escape the bombardment of "Thor".
The assassin's knee-jerk reaction made Gao Zhiping, who was hiding behind, furious, and even forgot about his own safety, Gao Zhiping showed his figure, shouted loudly, and ordered the assassin to get up and attack with all his might.
In this state of unconsciousness, the assassin reacts when he hears an order, that is, to do what he is told. One by one, they got up and prepared to attack again.
But it's a pity that they lay down and got up again, and the second wave of Ming Guo's guards attacked in front of them.
Although the personnel had dispersed this time, the assassin who had just gotten up did not even have time to defend or dodge, and was "entangled in a grenade with long eyes", and in an instant, the seven or eight people in the front were covered in the explosion along with the three Ming Kingdom guards who rushed forward.
This kind of attack method completely unfamiliar to the assassin and the shock of the explosive power of firearms, the surviving assassins hesitated, even if the number of troops they have maintained so far is far superior to that of the Ming people, but the number of people on the battlefield is really not the key to victory.
They began to panic and began to ignore Gao Zhiping's order to continue the attack, retreating step by step.
But the retreat was always not as fast as the forward rush, and in the blink of an eye, the third wave of attacks of the Ming State Guards swept in.
This wave of attacks killed only three assassins, that is, one life for another.
If it weren't for the Ming guards rushing in front of them and hugging one by one, then they might not even be able to blow up three enemies.
But even though only three were killed, at least half of the surviving assassins began to turn around and flee.
Gao Zhiping saw that he had become uncontrollable, but in fact, he himself had become uncontrollable.
The rage made Gao Zhiping lose his mind a little, and he jumped out of hiding with the only two remaining guards around him.
Shouting "rush, rush, rush", he slashed and killed the three fronts who fled head-on, forcing the retreating assassin to turn around and attack again.
But obviously, rushing forward is rushing, but the speed is far less than at the beginning of the battle, and none of the assassins are stupid, they have the hope of survival, and naturally want to live. (To be continued......)
