Chapter 73 Lu An talks about the revival of the ancient army's heart

In the gang's camp, a group of gang leaders are silently packing up the cooking utensils and preparing to make a fire.

Luo Ming opened his throat and shouted, "Brothers, come here, Lu An will tell you a story!" ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard the movement, they were not interested, but there were still a hundred and ten people who slowly gathered around.

Seeing this situation, Lei Jin's face became even more worried.

The morale of the army is so sloppy that even if it insists on reaching Suizhou, with the state of all the soldiers, let alone fighting, I am afraid that the enemy will charge over and be finished immediately!

Now he can only hope for the so-called "symptomatic and cure" method in Lu An's mouth.

The main general spoke, and before it was time to eat at noon, a few of the bolder men in the vicinity simply threw down their cooking utensils and gathered over.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lu An walked to the dumped grain cart, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice mixed with mud and sand, sighed deeply, and then sat directly on the snow.

Lei Jin walked up to him strangely and sat on the ground.

"That's a good thing!"

Lu An looked at the rice in his hand affectionately, and then looked around at the surrounding soldiers and asked, "Brothers, is this grain dirty?" ”

Someone nodded blankly, and someone responded sparsely, "Dirty!" ”

"Can you eat it?" Lu An asked again.

The crowd was silent.

One of the rugged generals in armor pursed his lips and snorted unceremoniously, "It's almost the same to feed the pigs!" ”

Lei Jin frowned when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Lu An didn't care about the attitude of the rough man, and nodded with a smile, "What this general said is right.

In normal times, no one wants to eat this thing, let alone the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield to sacrifice their lives for the country!

But, you know what?

There were once some people who couldn't even eat this kind of thing that could only be fed to pigs, but they were willing to throw their heads and spill their blood, creating a legend through the ages! ”

Lu An's words finally aroused the interest of some people.

"Hey! Little white face, who are you fooling? How could there be such a person! ”

The rough man just now roared again.

Lu An smiled faintly, "Yes, no one wants to believe this kind of thing."

But in reality, this is exactly what happened! ”

Speaking of which, under the gaze of everyone, Lu An slowly stuffed the raw rice mixed with sediment in his hand into his mouth, endured the discomfort, and smiled a little? Make move.

Even Lei Jin, who was closest to him, could hear the rattling sound made when Lu An chewed the sand in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent.

Lu An chewed "with great interest" while chatting eloquently.

"There was once such a country, the national strength was weak, the government was corrupt, the officials oppressed the people, and never cared about the lives of the people."

"Not only that, but there is also a powerful neighbor that is eyeing it and sending troops to attack it with the strength of the whole country."

"It is conceivable that in the face of the powerful armed forces of its neighbors, the country is simply unable to organize an effective counterattack, and there are mourning inside and outside the court, and they have advocated the cession of land and peace in exchange for the preservation of the silver and land of the ruling class."

"But in this way, the ordinary people of this country will be miserable!"

"The people of the cities occupied by the neighboring countries were either slaughtered or enslaved, and lived a life of no dignity as pigs and dogs."

"Tell me, is it possible for such a country to turn over?"

Near the gangfu camp, more and more soldiers gathered over and listened curiously to Lu An's story.

Someone shook his head when he heard this, "If the imperial court doesn't send troops to rescue, what can ordinary people do?" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu An sighed, "Yes, the imperial court advocates peace, allowing the people in the places occupied by neighboring countries to be enslaved, plus the officials only care about themselves and continue to oppress the people without humanity, such a country makes people see no hope at all." ”

"However, there is such a group of people who resolutely rose up to resist!"

"This group of people is just ordinary people, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have warm clothes, what are the weapons in their hands?"

"It's a hoe, it's a sharpened pole, it's a stone everywhere on the ground!"

"And what are the weapons in the hands of the powerful enemies of the neighboring countries they are facing?"

"It's Chisakoma!"

"It's a hundred refined steel!"

"It's bright armor!"

"It's a well-trained army of tigers and wolves!"

"Guess what, with such a balance of power between the two sides, what will be the final result of the war?"

"What else do you need to say?" Lei Jin beside him subconsciously replied, "There is no doubt about defeat!" ”

Luo Ming also chimed in, "What the boss said is right, the most important thing in marching and fighting is equipment and logistics supplies.

How can those people fight people with things like savages without weapons in their hands?

What's more, they still don't have enough food and clothing, and they can't get the support of the imperial court, so it's no fun to fight this battle at all! ”

Both generals said so, and the others nodded their heads repeatedly.

However, Lu An shook his head and smiled, "You are wrong, this battle ended with the defeat of the neighboring country and the voluntary surrender!" ”

"How is that possible!" Someone exclaimed, "Could it be that God is helping?" Otherwise, it will never be possible! ”

"Shhhh Don't make a noise, listen to him! ”

In countless curious eyes, Lu An continued to speak.

"That group of rustic people, even in the cold weather like ours now, has no cotton clothes, just wearing thin clothes, and even the straw sandals on their feet are worn out, and they insist on fighting the enemy in the snow barefoot!"

"Not to mention the food."

"Just like the rice mixed with sediment in my hand now, if they can eat a bite, it will be a Chinese New Year!"

"Do you know what they eat?"

"It's rice bran!"

"It's the roots of the turf!"

"I couldn't find food in a few days, so more than a dozen people shared a piece of radish mixed with snow water!"

"Once, in a battle, after the enemy defeated the entire army of civilians, he chased one of the leading civilians to the deep mountains, trapped the man for half a month, and finally killed him!"

"The enemy was angry and cruelly cut his stomach open with a knife, but he was shocked to find that the man they were chasing and killing continuously did not have any food in his stomach, and some were just a ball of hay that had not been digested until he died!"

Speaking of this, Lu An was already in tears, and the soldiers around him were extremely shocked.

The man who questioned it before spoke out again.

"Brother Lu, the people you said are indeed admirable, but I still don't believe it, is there really such a stupid person in the world? Besides, why would they be so desperate? ”

The questioning of the rough man represents the thoughts in most people's hearts, even Lei Jin is no exception.

Lu An wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled again.

"Good question, this brother asked, I was also confused when I heard this, until someone revealed the real reason!"

"That's right, the neighboring countries are strong, and the soldiers are well trained."

"And this country, whether it is the emperor or the minister, only cares about himself and does not care about the people."

"Those people who have risen up to resist have no food, no clothing, and no decent weapons, how can they defeat the invaders?"

"Because they're for themselves!"

"Because they saw how the people of the invaded city were slaughtered and enslaved!"

"They know what will happen if they don't even resist themselves!"

"Brothers, you can imagine that."

"If you are faced with such a situation, a strong enemy invades, your land may be invaded at any time, your family members may be enslaved and slaughtered at any time, and your wives and daughters may be humiliated and trampled on at any time."

"When the time comes, what will you choose?"

"Give in, or rise up!"

"Of course resist!" The rough man was the first to stand up and roared.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding soldiers also let out a roar.

The sound of the wild waves attracted more and more soldiers.

Soon, the boiling atmosphere, like a spark on fire, spread rapidly.
