Chapter 061: Self-Proclaimed Commander (I)
At noon on the third day, half a day before the deadline given by Sumendar, Hu Wei had already pulled his men out of the city
Hu Wei can't help but go, he has to go faster, he has to leave Linggui City as soon as possible before everyone reacts to what happened.
Why did Hu Wei go in such a hurry?
This time, he scraped all the good soldiers in the army, and if he didn't go quickly, he wouldn't be able to leave when the other generals reacted. You got all the soldiers and kings away, and they still don't play with you?
It turned out afterwards that Hu Wei's step was too correct. Hearing about the selection of soldiers for Hu Wei, some generals and officers went to the commander of the regiment, Sumendal, to make trouble. But now that Sumentar has no choice, and the troops have already driven out of the city, do they still want to chase them back? Besides, Sumendar also wants to know what kind of things Hu Wei can do with these elite soldiers in hand.
As soon as Hu Wei left the city, he pulled all the troops to Mao'er Mountain, which was 50 kilometers northeast of Linggui City, which was a place he had already thought about.
Mao'er Mountain is high and densely forested, and the mountain is dangerous. Within 20 kilometers of the vicinity, there is no one inhabited. When Hu Wei came back from Tiande and was ordered to serve as a lieutenant in Huanglong Road, he once passed by this place. He remembered it then. So when Hu Wei received Sumendar's order, he immediately thought of this.
Many people will think that cutting off the grain road is actually an easy job to do. As long as you rush up, kill the escorts, and burn everything with a fire, that's all right.
But they don't know that it is not so easy to do something as simple as they resemble them.
First of all, if you want to burn other people's grain, you must first know where the grain and grass are and where they will pass. The grain and grass that were escorted were all moving, and the place where they were located was different from time to time. So, intelligence is a must. Of course, you can also do without intelligence, there must be food in Anrong's camp, but is this something that Hu Wu's 3,000 men and horses can do?
Once you have the intelligence, it's a matter of planning. Where to start, how to play, how to run after success, and how to gather and return to the team if you run in the wrong direction are all issues that must be considered.
Another one, these three people who are worried about Hu are all just drawn from various branches of the military. They didn't even know anyone among themselves. How should we communicate, how to cooperate, and how to play? 3,000 people are already small, and if they fight on their own, they will not be able to accomplish anything.
Therefore, the most important thing for Hu Wei now is not how to act, how to destroy the supply of food and grass for the Anrong people, but to integrate all these soldiers under him. To integrate the troops, there must be a place, there are no people near Mao'er Mountain, and there are no resources, and it is unlikely that Anrong people will come here, so this place is the most suitable for Hu Wei's requirements.
After a half-day march, Hu Wei pulled his new troops to Mao'er Mountain. I have to say that the method of waiting for three is really good, these three thousand people, all of them are in good health, and there are many of them, and they are veterans at first glance.
At this time, Hu Wei was standing on a temporary high platform, looking at the 3,000 soldiers under his command, plus the people of the original third column, to be precise, Hu Wei had 3,318 people at this time.
"Brethren, some of you know me, and some of you don't. But I think you all already know who I am. Yes, I'm just Hu Wei, and some people call me an immortal bird.
Before I get down to business, I want to ask you a question, are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid. One of the soldiers shouted.
"Whoever says he's not afraid, that's all a lie. Everyone has only one life, and no one wants to die, and everyone is afraid of death. Even though my nickname is the Immortal Bird, I'm just as afraid of death. Hu Wei looked at the soldiers and said.
Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As an ordinary citizen, it is normal to be afraid of death. However, as soldiers, we must not be afraid of death. Since we have eaten this bowl of military rice and become soldiers, we must have the appearance of soldiers. Soldiers must have their own honor and a sense of mission to protect their families and serve the country. We soldiers are afraid of death, so who will protect our parents, brothers and sisters, wives and children!"
"There are many of you who don't know what you're here for today. Now, I tell you that I am going to organize a force and go into battle. Go and fight against the Anrong people who invaded our land and killed our fellow wives and daughters. ”
"In war, people will die, there is no doubt about it. Before I officially announced the establishment of the army, which one is afraid of death, which one can let the Anrong people shit on their heads, but those who tolerate the Anrong people raping your wife and daughter and killing your parents and brothers can stand up. I don't want this kind of spineless soldier in my army, if you come out, I can personally send you back to the original army, and I will never pursue anything, and I will not count you as a deserter. Whoever fucking entered my army, and dared to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and if there was an order that was disrespectful, Lao Tzu cut him directly.
Are there any such people present who stand up. The last sentence of Hu Wei was almost a roar. Every soldier could hear it clearly.
"Lord Hu Wei, we'll do it all with you. ”
"We're going to kill Anrong with you. ”
"An Rong killed my brother in Golden Bone Mountain, and I want revenge. ”
“”
The soldiers in the audience made all kinds of noises, but none of them stood up in the ranks. Many years later, a general wrote in his memoirs. I was really scared of death, but I didn't dare to stand up. What Lord Hu Wei said at that time was too poisonous. If I really stand up, other people's saliva can spit me to death.
"Let me ask you again, you have to think about it, is there anyone who wants to quit. Do you have. ”
"Nope. ”
"Is there any?"
"Nope. ”
"Great! None of you quit, you're all real men. Hu Wei shouted.
This speech was arranged early in the morning. From finding 'support' to setting off the atmosphere, to using language, Hu Wei has already calculated. At this time, even if someone really wants to quit, they don't dare to stand up.
Hu Wei can't be regarded as shameless, in fact, all commanders throughout the ages have done such things. Hu Wei just used a little bit of the usual means of the Jianghu people. He did extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and he did not have time to use various methods to unify the hearts and minds of these people from various units in a variety of ways, as he did when he led the third column.
A famous general once said that soldiers are always ignorant, you don't need them to know why they do it, you just need to tell them what to do, and that's it. Soldiers cannot have their own thoughts, and with thoughts, the troops will not exist.
Hu Wei looked around at all the soldiers present and continued:
"The people we were here were all from different teams, some from the 1st Division, some from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 18th Divisions. No matter which division or regiment we come from, from today onwards, all of us here have a new belonging -- the Immortal Bird Special Combat Team.
We are all members of the Immortal Bird Special Combat Team, life and death brothers in the Immortal Bird Special Combat Team, and back-to-back comrades.
From today on, you are all soldiers of my immortal birds, I will lead you to fight together, one to be promoted to get rich and share gold coins, and one to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, you say, okay. ”
"Good!" This time, the soldiers burst into cheers that had never been more intense. Hu Wei's words really said that they were in their hearts. They had heard a lot of Hu You's stories, but it wasn't until they had experienced it themselves that they believed that Hu Wei was really different from other generals. At least when those generals were dividing the gold coins, they didn't come and didn't think about letting the soldiers share a share, even if it was a small share, but they had worries but said it very clearly. At this time, even the soldiers who had thought about leaving before no longer wanted to leave. With such a chief, there is a future!
"Immortal birds!"
"Immortal birds!
"Immortal Bird"
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and all the soldiers also shouted.
Don't think of soldiers as noble, soldiers are also people, among them, many of them come to be soldiers and live this life of licking blood with knives, just to eat their stomachs, just to get promoted and get rich, just to find women.
Don't you see that every army has a warlord? The warlords don't kill the enemy, they kill their own people. So don't always preach to them with some national righteousness, give something practical, that's the last word.
Hu Wei, a person born in the rivers and lakes, can be said to be too clear about human nature. Those who run the rivers and lakes rely on taking advantage of the weakness of human nature to mix and eat, which is Hu Wei's strength. He just did this, one soft and one hard, to integrate this scattered army spiritually. Give them goals, give them dreams, and that seems bright.
After the training, it was time to start the reorganization of the detachment. In view of the fact that this mission was somewhat similar to the nature of guerrilla, Hu Wei did not intend to make the whole army rush forward in every action, so after analysis, Hu Wei decided to use 100 people as a team to fight in detachments, and flexibly deploy troops according to the enemy's situation. Each team can play individually, or several teams can play together.
Of the 3,000 newly recruited, Hu Wei asked them to find their familiar comrades-in-arms first, form a team flexibly, and then help them protect and deploy each other, forming a total of 30 teams. The captain of each team is chosen by the soldiers themselves. It doesn't matter what method is used or how to choose, but after the election, after Hu Wei officially approves the appointment, the team members must listen to the captain. The captain has the right to deal with his own team members without asking for approval, and if he disobeys the order, the captain can be directly executed, and then reported.
