Chapter 21 Arrangement
Although feeling a little shameless, Wu Yingying continued: "I know that most of you were forced to be involved in this damn war, but this is our fate. As your general, I promise that I will do my best to bring you back from the battlefield safely and reunite you with your wife and children. ”
Whether these words are true or not, they all conform to the voices of most of the soldiers, not to mention that Wu Yingying's tone has a convincing courage, seeing that most of the soldiers began to calm down and listen to him carefully, Wu Yingying looked coldly at the black head under his feet, and continued: "But there is one premise, you must absolutely obey my military orders, and for the brothers who obey the military orders, even if they die in battle, I will definitely give generous compensation to your family, so that your family will have no worries about food and clothing." Whoever violates military orders, who involves the legions, will be the first to be punished by me before he is killed by the enemy. ”
"Of course, if someone is willing to rely on his own courage to earn a piece of wealth and glory on the killing field, I will not treat him badly. You've all heard of the Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on the field suddenly lost control again, and many officers at the rank of chief and centurion were exchanging glances with each other. Although hostile to each other with the northern country, the ten brothers of the Yishe started in the army, and finally the highest-ranking yellow robe added to the rich world, and the lowest-ranking person was at least the head of a state and county, which really made these fifth-generation soldiers envious.
It's good to have an idea, Wu Yingying thought secretly in his heart, suppressed his own leisurely emotions, and continued to say in a calm tone: "The prince will Xiangning have a kind of Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, and Han Chongzan, who were just like you and me at the beginning. Wealth and fame are all earned from the battlefield, if you have this heart, I should take it with all my brothers. ”
This remark was almost rebellious, Xin Gu didn't think it was strange, and Xiao Jiu's face turned pale when he heard it, but it made many military men who were willing to make a name for themselves look at him differently, and they wanted to praise him in their hearts, what a fat courage.
Wu Yingying paused, and then said: "We are about to fight the Song people, you may think that Zhao Kuangyin is a hero of the world, but I don't think so." As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down again, as the commander of Wu Yingying's new army, belittled the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty who was still regarded as Zhengshuo in the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time, and inevitably looked a little arrogant, Xiao Jiu's face who was standing closely beside him became more and more pale, and his body trembled a little, as if he would be punished for the great crime of rebellion against the Jiu clan at any time.
But Wu Yingying wants to continue, and today's speech must set the tone for the atmosphere in the army, and he must speak all his words thoroughly, so that everyone can die for him and dispel even the slightest possible concern.
"Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine released the military power, so that the old brothers enjoyed wealth and prosperity, and the world often passed it on as a good story, but I don't think so. In today's world, only the strong and strong can get it, and Zhao's move is just to make the generals cut their wings with suspicion. This contrived is really chilling. The Song people were jealous of each other, the army had no generals, and it was inevitable that they would weaken day by day. ”
His words are getting farther and farther, and his words are rebellious, almost every sentence can be used as a crime of rebellion, and the soldiers below are muddy and don't mention it, and some of the people who are clear-minded are a little cloudy, and they don't know what Wu Yingying wants to say. Everyone was puzzled, Wu Yingying reached out and took out an arrow from the quiver beside him, held the arrow in one hand and the arrow feather in the other, and said loudly: "I swear today, no matter where I am in the future, I should share the joys and sorrows and prosperity with all my brothers. After speaking, he broke the hard arrow in his hand vigorously.
With a crisp sound of "pop", the whole school was silent, and after half an hour, there were soldiers under the leadership of the officers shouting loudly: "Share the joys and sorrows, share the prosperity!" The sound began to be sparse, as more and more people joined the shouting crowd, and finally all the soldiers shouted together, and the sound shook the mountains.
Bai Sheng in the crowd suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, and at first he casually said that he was willing to die for the general, but he planted something in his heart, he held back his tears and shouted vigorously with everyone: "Share the joys and sorrows, share the prosperity!"
Seeing that the goal of boosting morale was achieved, Wu Yingying immediately arranged the training content for the next period of time, in addition to the selected 500 soldiers to practice the gun formation, the remaining 2,000 soldiers all stepped up their practice of sword and shield attack and defense, and the military academy captain also trained the soldiers in the technique of stacking shooting, in addition to the necessary strength contact, all the personnel added weight every afternoon to run ten miles of cross-country running.
The newly appointed officers led their soldiers to leave in turn, and Wu Yingying took a long breath, resisted the idea of rubbing his numb legs, and instructed Xiao Jiu beside him: "From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave the camp, and anyone who dares to talk nonsense to the outside world will be beheaded immediately." Xiao Jiu's heart was fluttering, and he hurriedly bowed down and said yes, turned around and went to the centurion to arrange it.
Wu Yingying returned to the general's tent before he could rest for a cup of tea, so Xiao Jiu reported in and said, "General Qiyu, the commander of Heiyundu has sent someone to invite you to go over and discuss the plan of sending troops." Wu Yingying nodded and said, "Okay, please ask Captain Xin to select fifty elite tooth soldiers to go with me, and you will strictly march for me and take care of the camp." ”
Black Cloud is different from the Yulin Army, which has been responsible for guarding the palace for a long time, and must be the vanguard in every battle. Therefore, although Heiyundu is known as the lord of the country and has a government office in the city, in order to make the soldiers accustomed to field warfare, he also occupies a large camp at the foot of Jilong Mountain and Xuanwu Lake in the north of the city, and most of the soldiers are stationed here. Since the black clouds brought by Yu Yan, they have been stationed in the military camp all the year round, and the government office in the city is almost empty. This time, Wu Yingying was invited to go to this camp in the north of the city.
When I came to enter the camp, I saw that a scene of preparation for war was in full swing, the sand and dust covered the sky, the cavalry galloped back and forth to practice riding and shooting, and the momentum was terrifying, and the non-commissioned officers who did not ride horses also rode on wooden horses under the leadership of the officers to practice big guns, and there were almost no foot soldiers, which made the fifty-tooth army that followed Wu Yingying look particularly weak.
He looked at Wu Yingying and Xin Gu, who were disgraced by the dust on the school grounds, and said with a smile: "I heard that General Wu went straight to the barracks after coming out of the palace that day, and he was really diligent in the king's affairs and worked hard. ”
Wu Yingying's heart sank, Heiyun is known as the strongest soldier in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can compete with the 100,000 Divine Guards in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is indeed a system of its own, not a simple army, so he hurriedly gave in.
Yu Yan saw that Wu Yingying did not rely on Cai Yu's trust, and secretly praised that the army was about to set out in the near future, and ordered Wu Yingying to be the deputy, if he was a pretentious person, he was not afraid of the strength of Heiyundu, but it would also cause a lot of trouble, so he said: "General Wu, the army will not go out on the expedition, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, can you escort the grain and grass to enter the Shaankou village in Chizhou and hold it first, and the black cloud capital will then be stationed, and our department will be mainly cavalry, and Shaankou can be the center, and the enemy will be intercepted in all directions." ”
Wu Yingying couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself, wouldn't the Jinfan Army become the baggage battalion of Heiyundu, there was no chance of meritorious service, and guarding the fortress was very easy to cause the Song army to attack, and then Heiyun would be advantageous, if the war was unfavorable, it was possible to abandon the friendly army and slip away, and the more troops who participated in the battle, the more slippery the army would be on the friendly issue, this is Wu Yingying's experience after reading many battle examples.
So Wu Yingying immediately bowed his hand and said: "General Yu, although the Jinfan Army is an infantry army, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed, and with the help of waterways, they can also attack and harass the Song Army." The responsibility of escorting the baggage and guarding the Shaanxi Pass needs to be discussed again. ”
