Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Great Army Sets Out (2)

When the 100,000 Dao army set out on the march, all the soldiers were high in morale and in good spirits. 100,000 Dao heroes gathered into an army, this is a rare event in the rivers and lakes in a hundred years, and it is a great honor to be able to participate in it in person. Not to mention anything else, after these Daozi Army Daoists return to the north and south, as long as they add fuel and vinegar to the glorious deeds of their participation in the Daozi Army, they will definitely attract many colleagues to stop and listen.

This is destined to be a legend, a legend that will occupy a large proportion of the gossip of the Taoists and will still be talked about by everyone years later. To be a part of this legend is not in vain!

However, after a full march, things became a little different.

Many of these Jianghu Daoists joined the Daozi Army when their enthusiasm was surging and they were impulsive; some had to come because the ancestors of the sects and families were personally led; and some were encouraged by the Daoists and joined the Daozi Army with the Daoists. Among them, more than half of the Taoist heroes are used to being casual, where can they understand the strict military discipline of the army, and where can they think of the hardships of marching and fighting!

In the case of this march, the sergeants on their horses and chariots were fine, but they were bumpy and not too tired, while the foot warriors had to walk nearly a hundred miles on their legs. Along the way, all the Taoist heroes complained bitterly, and many people were reluctant to quit the Taoist army, return to their hometown, and be at ease, where would they suffer this kind of suffering!

However, there are other Taoist heroes around to watch, and if they retreat at this time, this face will be lost. If you do something that makes your colleagues laugh, it is a good thing that will spread thousands of miles, but I am afraid that it will become a joke in the mouths of all the Taoists in the north and south of the country overnight.

Therefore, all the Taoist heroes can only persist in patience. There is no way, the army I joined by myself will be finished with tears!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come!" a young Taoist dressed as a rich boy dragged his sore legs and walked forward step by step. He didn't dare to rest, because the Dao heroes around him were all on the march, and if he stopped alone, wouldn't he be laughed at! This Dao Xia was obviously a son of a family who was usually pampered, how could he endure such hardships!

The young man looked at the iron horse in the distance, and said secretly in his heart: "What kind of morality in the rivers and lakes, can you eat as food? Can you ride as a horse? If those Taoist heroes talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, why don't they let their war horses be ridden by this son? If you know that you will stay at home to raise flowers and birds, and flirt with maids, why do you want to join the army! What is the most moral pretence!"

Several Taoist warriors nearby also saw that the young man was a little physically exhausted, and one of the old men smiled and said: "Playboy, you are tired! It is also a good thing for young people to come out and join the army, and they will know that the world is not easy!"

The playboy said yes with a smile on the surface, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: "I know that relying on the old and selling the old, if you were able to endure hardships when you were young, you are still mixed like this?

At this time, a chariot passed by them, and this chariot was not a real military vehicle, but a temporary transformation of a civilian carriage.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and when he saw that the playboy was struggling, he smiled and said, "This boy, do you want to get in the car and rest for a while?"

"Okay, okay!" the playboy nodded again and again, tears of joy were about to flow out, and he secretly said in his heart: "This is the morality of the rivers and lakes!"

The middle-aged man immediately pulled the playboy into the car, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Ten taels of silver, thank you!"

"It turned out that there was a fee! The business has been done in the Taoist army, what a profiteer!" The playboy's face darkened, but fortunately his family was well-off, and ten taels of silver was not a big deal, so he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to the coachman.

After entering the carriage, the playboy was shocked to find that the carriage was already full of more than a dozen boys like him, all of them tired and half-dead.

He finally found a place to squeeze and sit down, gasped for breath, and secretly said in his heart: "I won't join the army if I am killed in the future, whoever likes to preach morality will go, Lao Tzu will not eat this set!"

......

When the Ziqing Daoist led the Daozi army to march, he could only march eighty miles a day, and then rest for the night. This time, Jiang Chen, as the commander, originally wanted to march one hundred and fifty miles in one day according to the art of war, and then he could reach an oasis and set up camp. But he soon realized that although there were 100,000 Dao heroes in this Dao army, and there was no shortage of famous Dao heroes, they were essentially a rabble, and if they were treated according to the standards of sergeants, I was afraid that most of them would not be able to stand it.

Therefore, Jiang Chen changed his plan, halved the marching speed, changed the distance of one day to two days, and added two short breaks in the middle. In addition, some chariots were set aside to carry those Dao heroes who suddenly felt unwell, so that it was relatively easy for all Dao heroes to persevere.

After such a boring and arduous march, it was not until the third day that the army finally encountered a group of demon beasts!

There are two or three hundred demon beasts in this group, all of which are Class C and D level demon beasts such as fire wolves and coyotes. When the Dao heroes saw this group of demon beasts, they were like evil tigers pounced on food, and they didn't wait for Jiang Chen to issue a military order, they rushed up one after another, and their eyes were red when they were killed.

However, the vast majority of Dao heroes haven't seen those demon beasts yet, and these demon beasts have been killed cleanly, and even the animal skins have been peeled off!

These Jianghu Taoist heroes came from afar to participate in the Taoist army, and they couldn't return empty-handed. As long as you bring back some demon beast materials, it is the best proof that you have killed demons in the frontier, and it will be glorious to say it in the future. Therefore, this group of unlucky demon beasts was slaughtered! The momentum of the Dao heroes killing demons was like a group of wild beasts pounced on the flock.

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head secretly. As far as the art of war is concerned, these 100,000 Dao troops are not a well-trained army at all, but a plate of scattered sand! If the enemy army encountered is vulnerable, it is enough, and if it encounters a powerful enemy army, the combat power that these 100,000 Dao army can exert is probably less than 10 percent!

Although he already had the experience of leading more than a thousand Dao heroes out of the encirclement, it was a greater challenge to lead 100,000 Dao troops at this time!

As the captain of the guard battalion and the commander's cronies, Wang Mazi and Jiang Wu and several others were also on the mammoth chariot. Wang Mazi saw that Jiang Chen's face was worried, and asked, "Is the boss worried that the Jianghu Dao heroes are used to being loose and difficult to be bound by military orders?"

"Not bad!" Jiang Chen nodded: "If Ben Shuai is a master of Dao Law who is extremely high, he can still suppress these 100,000 Dao troops; If you don't encounter any strong enemies, it's fine, but if you encounter a difficult bone to gnaw, I'm afraid that the military order will not be able to pass, and the military strength will be difficult to use. ”

"The commander is familiar with the art of war, there should be a way to change this situation, right?" Wang Mazi said: "In the past, the Daozi army was as scattered, but later, under the leadership of the commander, the military orders were proficient, and I dare not say that everyone is united, at least they can fight side by side and work together!"

"It's different!" Jiang Chen sighed: "The situation is different from the past, the last time I commanded the Daozi army, the army was under siege, and the sergeants could only break the cauldron and work together to fight against the water, and the military order was easy to be enforced." This time, there was no predicament at that time, and the sergeants had only been in the army for a few days from all over the world, and they had never been bound by military regulations, so it was difficult to condense into a group. ”

"Isn't there any other way?" asked Wang Mazi.

Jiang Chen nodded: "It's not that there is no way. However, there needs to be someone to cooperate with Ben Shuai to carry out his strategy. ”

"The subordinates are willing to assist the coach!" Wang Mazi said: "Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"

"Really?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Really!" Wang Mazi said resolutely, quite a kind of pride in seeing death as home.

"Very good!" Jiang Chen said happily: "Ben Shuai's plan is a bitter plan, and he needs to ask Wang Daoyou to 'make chicken'." ”

Wang Mazi was stunned for a moment: "It doesn't matter if it's a bitter meat plan, it's just 'making a chicken'?"

Jiang Chen shook his head again and again: "What Ben Shuai said is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys! Wang Daoyou, you are the 'chicken'!"
