Chapter 431: Repeating the Old Trick

Chapter 431 repeats the old trick

While suppressing the bandits and marching, it took the troops two months to arrive at Daejeon Castle. Along the way, the troops lost more than 30,000 men, and the more than 60,000 bandits on the road have all been eliminated.

The battle loss of more than 30,000 people is a number that is not xiǎo. But it's an acceptable figure. Because of the loss of more than 30,000 people, this army, a rookie soldier, has become a veteran, although it is not a hundred battles, but each of them has already understood what war is all about, and what blood is about.

Not only soldiers, but also the growth of generals is also gratifying to Hu Wei. In the past, most of these officers only had theoretical knowledge and did not have much experience in actual combat command, but now, it is very different. In the torment of life and death in blood and fire, they have learned how to combine what is in the book with the actual situation.

In the last few bandit battles, they did something that made Hu Wei very satisfied. In particular, on one of the occasions when facing a huge bandit group of 15,000 people, the commanders and soldiers at all levels cooperated perfectly, and at the cost of only losing more than 2,000 people, they completely annihilated the opponent's record, which made Hu Wei applaud the case.

You must know that the same group of commanders, in order to destroy 8,000 bandits more than a month ago, sacrificed 10,000 people.

When the troops arrived at Daejeon Castle, it was just after noon, but it felt like the middle of the night. In the whole of Daejeon Castle, there is not a single living person, most of the houses that have been burned down and may collapse at any moment, the roadside has long since died, and the corpses that have been turned into bones have long been destroyed, and the flames of the war left behind a few months ago are still clear. When you close your eyes, you can even hear the shouts of the fierce street battle that day. It's not like a city that once lived with a population of 200,000 people, it's almost like a ghost domain.

Quite a few soldiers, the gods on their faces, all became unpleasant to look at. Such an atmosphere, such an environment, it is easy to make people panic. If it is not suppressed, it may affect the morale of the military.

"Young marshal, this, how can this be. Xuanri's face has also become a little less good-looking, although she has seen a lot of the world, but after all, she is an NV child, and it is normal to feel scared when she sees such a scene.

Hu Wei replied: "This must be Nan Rong's ghost, it's nothing remarkable, he actually wants to scare me with this, he is too naïve." ”

"Are you afraid?" Hu Wei suddenly shouted loudly: "This is just a trick of the alien race, are you afraid?"

Hu Yu's heavy drinking woke up many soldiers. Their eyes changed from panic to firmness. The young marshal is right, this is just a trick of aliens, what is there to be afraid of. Could it be that those dead corpses that have turned into white bones will still jump up and bite people?

Hu Wei has been playing drums on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has a good understanding of people. He knows very well that what can defeat him is often not his own enemy, but his own heart. If the heart is scared, then it will be over.

He knew what kind of purpose Nan Rong had made Daejeon Castle like this, and he definitely couldn't let Nan Rong succeed like this. He had to give these warriors a little faith, a little jīng god food. Let every soldier know that sacrifice is not such a terrible thing, as long as it is for the faith in his heart, even if he dies, he can be proud and calm. That's a real soldier, a hot-blooded warrior.

With the overlord gun in hand, Hu Wei strode to the front of the city wall of Mén in the east city under the gaze of everyone, and wrote with a gun and a pen:

"Looking northwest, the yellow sand is vast. The wolf smoke is urgent, the captives are rampant, and the people and ministers are sitting and dying?

Looking southeast, the mountains and rivers are majestic. The sky is tilting, the country is in mourning, so why not see each other with broken heads?"

When he wrote the last sentence, 'What does it matter if you see each other with a broken head', Hu Wei whipped the overlord gun on the ground heavily, as if it hit the hearts of all the soldiers.

Hu Wei didn't read much, and this was one of the few poems he could remember. This heroic war song, after being watched again, doesn't seem to feel like anything. But these few short sentences seem to have magical power, and the more you read it, the more you think about it, the more you feel it, yes, why not see each other with a broken head?

Aren't these bits and pieces of bones his comrades-in-arms? From the rotten military uniforms on their bodies, they can still be vaguely identified as the soldiers of the special regiment. They are the most loyal warriors of the Immortal Bird Legion, will they still harm us?

No, it won't, they'll just bless us. Because we are also all members of the Legion of the Immortal Birds, we and them are comrades-in-arms connected by blood, and we are a family like brothers and sisters. ,

Most of the soldiers were uneducated, and the more literate people were also impressed by the momentum shown in Hu Wei's poems. No one noticed Hu Wei's stinky words, and it was really difficult to see the extent of affecting the city's appearance.

Hu Wei saw everyone's reaction, and he was also proud. He didn't know at this time that the words engraved on the Daejeon city wall with a gun and pen on his mind would be preserved forever. It is also because of his words that the level of calligraphy appreciation in the Tianfeng Continent has greatly regressed, and he has several calls to return to the primitive society. Of course, this is all for later, anyway, he was also drumming in his bones at that time, even if the planet exploded, it had nothing to do with him.

With Hu Wei's poem, the terrifying atmosphere that Daejeon Castle was deliberately created has dimmed a lot, even if there are still pimples in someone's heart, it is not as terrible as it felt at the beginning.

Soldiers on guard were arranged, and Hu Wei gave the order to clean up. There are still 40,000 soldiers of the special regiment lying here, and Hu Wei wants to clear them out and take them home.

Three pillars of green incense, 170,000 soldiers lined up neatly to send off their dead comrades-in-arms for the last ride. Hu Wei is a person who is good at seizing opportunities, so naturally he will not let go of such a good educational opportunity for patriotic militarism and teach everyone a good lesson. Here, Hu Wei really wanted to say a few words that felt like Nan Rong, if it weren't for Nan Rong's special intentions, it would not be an easy task for him to find the remains of all the soldiers killed in the special regiment so easily.

At the end of the ceremony, night fell, and the soldiers all arranged their tasks, and those who did not have tasks were ready to rest. Wartime is different from the past, when there is a chance, you must seize the time to rest, because you don't know, the next moment there will be a chance to sleep, maybe, but it is very likely that you will not wake up for a long time, and you will live forever in everyone's hearts.

Hu Wei held the pot of wine and stood silently, looking at the pieces of soldier cards in his eyes. Because of the urgency of the war at that time, when Hou San withdrew, he did not have time to take back the soldier cards around the necks of the soldiers who died in the war.

xiǎoxiǎo's soldier cards, each piece once carried a fresh life, grabbed a piece casually, Hu Wei could even say the name of its original owner.

The predecessor of the special regiment was the Immortal Bird Special Combat Team, and many people here were once the most iron-blooded fighters around Hu Wei. They used to sit on the grass together and brag and fart, bragged about what they saw and heard in the Qinglou together, and talked about their beautiful yearning for the future life together.

Now this qiē has disappeared. Those hearty laughter still seem to be in my ears, but the only thing left in front of me is these soldier cards.

"Young marshal, it turns out that you are here, I am looking for you everywhere" Xuanri's voice came from behind her, and listening to her tone, it seemed that there was something urgent.

"What's wrong, is something wrong?" Hu Wei put away the inexplicable sadness. Sometimes he feels that he is not good enough, not a real general, because he is not strong enough, and he is often aroused by unnecessary things.

Xuan Ri said: "It's such a young marshal, the soldiers came to report, and a kind of fire was found in the city that would flutter." None of them knew what it was, and they felt a little scared. ”

Hu Wei thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this kind of thing. Others don't know, but Hu Wei knows very well, this kind of thing is called white phosphorus fire, also known as ghost fire, which is a very normal natural phenomenon, and it is generally more found in cemeteries. That's because there is a small amount of white phosphorus on human bones. There are so many dead people in Daejeon City, although it has now undergone a preliminary cleanup, but there will still be some such things left in the place where the dead bodies were lying before, and there is no big deal.

Hu Wei roughly told Xuanri about the principle of this fire, and Xuanri went with confidence. Hu Wei didn't take this matter to heart, there were too many things to think about, how could he have time to think about such useless things.

Now that he has 170,000 soldiers in his hands, Hu Wei is considering whether to use Daejeon City as a foundation to establish a military important place here to prevent the aliens from advancing into the interior. Although it is a little dilapidated, there are still various infrastructure constructions, and it is not too difficult to do this. It's just a pity that there are no more people here, and there are no people to recruit, and everything has to be done by the soldiers.

I don't know where all the people of Daejeon Castle have gone. The fire in Daejeon City must have ruined many people's families. ,

Alas, it's really ruthless

Wait a minute, although Daejeon City is dilapidated, it is also one of the seventy-two cities of the Mandala Empire, even if it is not lived, its strategic position is very important, and Nanrong has no reason to give up like this.

He must have a reason for doing so. But why did he want to empty Daejeon Castle? Was it just to create some terrifying atmosphere to frighten people?

If Nan Rong was so naïve, then he wouldn't be alive now.

Did he want to......

The Maragobi Hu Wei jumped up and ordered the heralds: "Pass my order, all the troops, leave the city at once, and assemble in the open space in front of the east mén." ”

"Yes" The herald did not hesitate and immediately did as Hu Wei meant. As for why Hu Wei asked to sit like this, it was not a question for him to consider.

"Young marshal, what happened, why did you leave the city immediately?" Xuanri, who had just received Hu Youxin's order, strode over again, she had to know the severity of the matter, otherwise it would be difficult to make arrangements.

Hu Wei replied: "I suspect that Nan Rong is repeating his old tricks, and he wants to give me another fire attack." ”

Xuan Ri was surprised: "How can this be, there is not a single common person in the city, he can't do what he did last time"

Hu Wei shook his head and said: "It is precisely because there are no ordinary people in the city that we are easy to be careless. I don't know how Nam Ei did it, but now we have to leave Daejeon Castle. Hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late

"Yes" Xuanri ran away after hearing this, although she was a little unimpressed by Hu Wei's words in her heart. But she still did what she said.

The barracks, which had just quieted down, was boiling with some foul language. Many soldiers don't know what happened. Fortunately, the soldiers don't need to know why, they just have to carry out the order.

After Hu Wei gave the order to leave the city, he immediately prepared to leave the city. Although it is still uncertain, Nam Rong will do this. But one thing is certain, if Hu Wei capsized in the yīn ditch like Hou San this time, he would really not be able to treat the general public this time. People can't always fall into a river, Hou San was burned by someone, and Lao Tzu must also be burned by a fire?

Hu Wei also thanked Nan Rong a little before, but he scolded him again. It's actually used to use it, it's all this idea, it's too contemptible."

Without the people, there would be no obstacles, and the withdrawal of troops this time would be easier than the withdrawal of Hou San. After so much training to suppress bandits, the rookie has turned into an old bird. In particular, commanders at all levels were deliberately cultivated by Hu Wei. I also learned how to command in battle.

The troops that came out in the early stage were arranged to be the head of the defense, and a large number of spies would be sent out to keep an eye on the movements everywhere. At this time, more than half of the 170,000 people had already left the city, and in a maximum of ten minutes, the troops could receive orders to completely withdraw from Daejeon City.

"Strategist, let's get started. High on the mountain, Nan Rong looked at the Hu Wei military camp that suddenly moved below, and said to Honda Kameyu.

Honda Kameyu said: "Sacrifice to the lord, Hu Wei's troops have been alerted. If we force our actions now, the effect should not be very good. ”

Honda Kameyu was also a little puzzled in his heart, he thought that he had done everything perfectly, what kind of madness was this nonsense, and he suddenly wanted to evacuate all the people out of the city. Had he already discovered something?

Nan Rong was a little dissatisfied with Honda Kameyu's reply, and frowned: "Mr. Honda, I hope you can do what I want." Hu Wei is a very cunning person, although I don't know how he saw the mechanism, but I can be sure that if I don't do it this time, I won't have such an opportunity in the future."

"Yes, Lord Priest, as you wish" Honda Kameyu bowed and triggered the shutdown.

"Boom" With the fall of several houses, Daejeon Castle fell into a sea of fire. Hu Wei guessed well, Nan Rong and the others really wanted to give him another fire attack this time.

This is the idea of Honda Kameyu, who has been the enemy of Hu Wei for many years, and he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of Hu Wei's heart. He knew very well that Hu Wei was a person who did not believe in evil, and it was difficult for ordinary external forces to influence his decision.

The qiē that Hu Wei saw in Daejeon Castle was all made by Honda Kameyo. He didn't want to scare Hu Wei, but to attract his attention, so that he wouldn't pay attention to other things. For example, the houses where a lot of fire oil was placed.

However, things often backfire, and Honda Turtle calculated a qiē, but did not expect that Hu Wei would suddenly order the army to leave the city. Seeing that the victory that was about to come turned into defeat again, Honda Kamesuke of course felt very unhappy. ,

"Don't panic, everyone, it's not so easy to burn a big living person, come one by one, just withdraw from the city. It's all right. Weiwei, you don't have a problem," Hu Wei ran while comforting the people around him. His diction, although not so well-known, hits the nail on the head and is understandable to everyone.

"Boom Boom"

There were three more loud bangs, and the fire grew bigger. The soldiers, who had not yet had time to rush out of the city, hurriedly took out their máo towels according to their usual training, and after wetting them with water and niào, nòng if there was no water, they covered their noses to prevent inhaling the smoke of Dazato. This is something they have all learned in the army, and Hu Wei has personally lectured to them.

"Young marshal, ten miles ahead, we found a large number of aliens, who are coming towards us."

As soon as Hu Wei rushed out of the city, he immediately heard the soldier's report.

Hu Wei wiped the sweat on his head and said, "How is the situation now?" ”

The soldier replied: "General Chen Dali has already led people up, and it is expected that in ten minutes, the two armies will be on fire."

"Hmm" Hu Wei nodded with satisfaction, Chen Dali can't attack the city, but there is definitely a set of defense, and with him on top, Hu Wei doesn't have to worry so much. Nan Rong, this guy, is really bad, he ate it cheaply once, and this time he wants to repeat his old tricks, there is such a cheap thing in the world

Hu Wei ordered: "Pass my order, let the first, third, and fifteenth battalions set up a defensive body on the spot, and the other troops will be ready for battle immediately." Also, get General Xuanri and go."

"Yes. The soldier took the order and left.

Hu Wei turned around and glanced at Datian City again, at this time, the large army had already left the city, and only a small number of people were still in the city, but they would soon be able to come out.

Seeing such a situation, Hu Wei couldn't help but secretly rejoice. The reason why there was such a good result this time was naturally because he saw the opportunity early, and secondly, it had to be regarded as the credit of a few days. Their militia unit is really well-trained, and they have practiced this kind of fire prevention and sneak attack practice, so the soldiers can not panic in case of trouble, even if they don't get up, they also know how to save themselves.

"Young marshal, you're all right. "Xuanri was nearby, and after receiving the notice, he rushed over immediately.

"I'm fine, since Nan Rong is here, then we'll give them something good-looking. Got the gifts ready, our guests couldn't wait"
