Chapter 112: Unswerving
readx;
It has been two days since Buchen learned that his ammunition depot had been bombed and the munitions factory had been burned, and Ai Ai had passed the news to him with an expedited eight hundred miles, and at the moment of receiving the news, Buchen really had a feeling of five thunderbolts, and his chest was stuffy, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood!
Fortunately, You Chengzong and Xue, who were standing on his left and right, saw that his expression was wrong, and immediately carried him to the sleeping tent to rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I was just a free and easy idle cloud and wild crane, doing what I liked, going to the place I liked, if it weren't for the safety of the world, how could I sit in this hot position and fight against the most cruel and tyrannical enemy? But why do some people just not understand my painstaking efforts? It's as if they have solved me, and they can really hold on to this eastern world! Buchen covered his heart, leaned on the soft couch, and roared bitterly.
You Chengzong and Xue sighed on the side, their mood at this time was not much different from that of Buchen, but it was not as intense as him.
At this time, Fei Fei, who had learned the news, also rushed over, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she lifted the curtain and said, "Henry! Let's go! We don't care about this, they love the country and the country, love the world and the world, this is all their own doing! It has nothing to do with us! ”
Hearing this, Buchen's expression was a little strange, and he stared at Fei Fei and said, "You don't want to be a queen or a concubine?" ”
When Fei Fei heard him mention this, she was immediately angry: "I think, why don't I want to!" It's just that I'm not interested in doing it for these Dongguo people who don't know what to do! ”
Buchen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Fei Fei, I can understand your feelings, but at this time, the decisive battle is about to begin, and the arrow is already on the string, so I have to send it!" ”
"Henry, what if you win?!" Fei Fei said hurriedly, "The people of the Eastern Kingdom will still regard us as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh!" ”
"Fei Fei, there are only a few Dongguo people who really hate us! Most people don't hate us. "I don't want to be patient.
"Yes, most people don't hate us, they just ignore us, I've been in this country for so long, I don't know what those grass people think? The head has changed the sky, it is nothing more than a change of person to pay taxes, as for the civilization you are talking about, they don't understand what it is, and they don't care! Fei Fei said everything in her heart.
"Fei Fei, it is precisely because they don't understand that they don't know the value of civilization! And those of us who know how to take responsibility should naturally take responsibility! "I don't say in a loud voice.
"You're responsible, but will they be grateful to you for it?!" Fei Fei said angrily.
"It doesn't matter if they're grateful or not, and I don't care what they think of me, I just want to have a clear conscience!" Buchen closed his eyes in some pain.
Fei Fei stomped her foot and turned away angrily.
"Actually, no, I think there is some truth in Fei Fei's words." Snow said from the sidelines, "Why are you fighting for those who hate you?!" ”
"Snow!" Buchen frowned, "The people who hate me, the people who make trouble behind my back, I won't fight for them." After the war is over, I will naturally give them the punishment they deserve, ask for the beheading, ask the deserve to be killed, and there will be no appeasement in the slightest! But these people are a very small minority after all, and I can't give up the vast majority of innocent people because of the very few people who hate me! ”
Snow sighed and stopped talking.
"Lao You, where is Gongde's army?" Buchen turned to You Chengzong and asked.
Buchen's conversation with Fei Fei and Xue just now You Chengzong listened to it in his ears, as a well-rooted Seris, his mood was extremely complicated, that is, he admired Buchen's resoluteness a little, and he was a little confused about his persistence. To tell the truth, even he, an elite class from a general background, does not understand the preciousness of "civilization" in Buchen's mouth, he can vaguely feel that the "civilization" in Buchen's mouth is neither the "Taoism" in the mouth of the literati, nor the "orthodoxy" of the emperor, but a greater, more universal concept, but the education he received since childhood made it difficult for him to agree with this concept, he is a martial artist, he must find someone to be loyal to, not to an inexplicable "concept" of allegiance, It is quite ridiculous to have to fight for one person or a group of people, not for a "concept", or even to pledge allegiance to a country, to fight for a country. It can be said that the narrow idea of loyalty to the monarch has penetrated into his bone marrow, so in his opinion, it is barely understandable for Buchen to say that he is fighting to protect the common people in the world, but fighting for "civilization" is very inexplicable.
People, how can they fight for that kind of thing?
Buchen didn't know how many things his general had thought about in that short period of time just now, and seeing that You Chengzong was stunned and didn't speak, he opened his mouth again and asked, "Old You, is there any latest news about the Wild Boar Clan's army?" ”
You Chengzong finally came back to his senses, nodded and replied: "Yes, there is news in the morning, the army of pigs has arrived in Ting County, a hundred miles away, with their speed, as soon as tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”
"Have you heard the exact number of enemy troops?" Buchen asked again.
You Chengzong shook his head and said: "Look at the scale is around 200,000, because the enemy cavalry has a large number of cavalry, and the combat power is above our cavalry, so the rangers can't get close, they can only be estimated." ”
Buchen's brows were tightly twisted, he only brought 40,000 people to the expedition this time, and the rest of the soldiers were all temporarily recruited people, and they couldn't go into battle at all, if the enemy army really had 200,000 people, then his soldiers would have to face the bad situation of one enemy and five, even if his army armor was good, no matter how sharp the weapons were, when facing the enemy who had an advantage in physical strength, it was still difficult to say whether he would win or lose, and besides, his weapons and armor were now one less bad one, and they could not be replenished in a short period of time.
"How much gunpowder are there in the army?"
"There is not much black ~ gunpowder, most of it is the latest production of gunpowder cotton, and the remaining reserves are still no problem to hold on to two decisive battles!" You Chengzong replied.
Buchen smiled bitterly, the gunpowder was only enough to support two decisive battles, and he had two strong enemies, is this the will of heaven? I just hope that these two decisive battles can be won, if one is lost, or if it is a fierce battle, then he will undoubtedly have a cup......
Then Buchen returned to the Chinese military tent, beat the drum and summoned all the middle and high-ranking generals in the army, held the last pre-war preparation meeting, and after everyone understood the current bad situation of the army, Buchen let them disperse.
It's just that he didn't hide the truth from the generals who didn't want to be there, and they all told the generals what they did, and Xue and Lao You both had some opinions.
After the meeting ended, Xue said to Buchen: "Is it really good to let them know the truth?" This will make the army panic, right? ”
You Chengzong also said: "If the army's morale is chaotic, this battle will not be able to be fought!" ”
Buchen shook his head and said, "Such a big matter won't last long, rather than hiding it, it is better to be honest, so as not to resentment of us after the soldiers themselves learn the truth." Moreover, after learning of their dangerous situation, their desire to win will naturally be aroused, because once they are defeated, they will be the first to fall into a situation of no return! ”
"I'm afraid they'll run away before the war starts." You Chengzong's face was pale.
"Having military judges double the length of patrols in the period leading up to the decisive battle, and the beginning of the transformation of military law into wartime regulations, should be effective in putting an end to desertion." Buchen thought for a moment and said.
"For the sake of now, that's all it takes." You Chengzong said helplessly.
"Lao You!" Buchen stared at You Chengzong with burning eyes, "We are not more than usual now, the situation is very dangerous, we must have the determination and determination to fight against the water, and there can be no more luck and weakness in our hearts!" ”
"I know."
Lao You nodded, said to Buchen, and went out of the account, Buchen's order was simple, but he, the executor, had to spend a lot of effort to achieve, but he didn't have time to accompany him to chat.
Buchen turned to the snow again and asked, "Can the chain horse be used?" ”
The Iron Chain Horse is the only form of heavy cavalry in the Seris army since ancient times, although the equipment is expensive and the training is complicated, but the combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary, in order to defeat the orc army with powerful cavalry, these guys must be used!
"It should be possible, right?"
Xue is not very confident, the chain horse is not a new army formation, but from equipment to personnel, it is inherited from the old forbidden army, and everyone knows what virtue the old forbidden army is. If it weren't for the lack of choice, they wouldn't have been allowed to go to war!
