The rapid march has been carried out for more than half of the time, and after a nap at noon, Gu Shenwei sat in the middle of a group of swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain to drink water and gnaw on dried meat, everyone was very silent, and from time to time someone raised their heads, and nodded when they met the eyes of the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei ate quickly, stood up, and signaled that Long Chuanyun and the others did not have to follow, and only took Chu Nanping to stroll.

Most of the newly recruited soldiers were from the Shule country, and they had heard much about the dragon king and seen little, and their hearts were full of curiosity, and their eyes followed the dragon king, and when they found him walking towards them, they all hurriedly lowered their heads and ate and drank violently.

Gu Shenwei had already noticed the reaction of the Shule soldiers, so he walked up to a small group of soldiers and said to one of them, "What's your name?"

The soldier was very young, and his face still had the childishness of a teenager, and he was very surprised to hear the dragon king's question, and he put down the food in his hand in a panic, wiped his mouth, and then did not know where to put his hands, and threw a look of help to his companions, and after receiving encouragement, he said loudly: "My name is Xie Dezhi, and it is not the ambition of ambition." ”

He probably often explained his name to others, so he said it casually in the face of the dragon king, but his face turned red after that.

"Good name. Gu Shenwei suddenly found that he no longer knew how to deal with simple people, what could he ask from the mouth of an ordinary soldier? Due to the lack of a clear goal, he was also at a loss as the other party, "Why do you want to join the Fu [***]?"

This is the advantage of clichés, Gu Shenwei used to hate clichés, and now he realizes how useful they are, they can open an unfamiliar door without a trace, and of course, it is very redundant for those who have opened the door or are determined to close the door and window.

"I ...... I do not know. Xie Dezhi was unprepared for this cliché, his mind was blank, and he almost forgot to open the "door", and when there was laughter around him, he pointed to a few companions around him and said, "I came with friends." ”

A more daring soldier interjected: "As soon as the Beiting people and the Jinpeng army come, there will be no way to plant the land, so it is better to be a soldier and drive them away, and everything will return to normal again." ”

This is a good reason, but Xie Dezhi regarded the Dragon King's question as a task, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he should tell the truth, "Everyone says that the Dragon King is blessed by the gods, and he will definitely win the final victory, and the Dragon King can share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates, and share the glory and wealth." ”

"Who said that?"

At the same time, the soldiers looked at the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain not far away, and the group of men who were bored eating never spared words of praise when introducing the Dragon King to outsiders.

"I will win. Gu Shenwei said with certainty, "Specifically, what kind of glory and wealth do you want?"

"Gold and silver", "great officials", "women", ...... Words pop up one after another,

"Land. Several soldiers spoke in unison, and soon this became the most popular answer, they were farmers before joining the army, and the most valuable thing in their minds was still land.

"I still prefer farming. Xie Dezhi whispered embarrassedly.

"You will get the land. Gu Shenwei said that this is his rare sincerity.

Cheers erupted, and the dragon king's promise spread rapidly, as more and more soldiers gathered, and the officers had to intervene to maintain order.

Gu Shenwei simply raised his voice, "Which of you has ever been on the battlefield?"

There were few people who responded, and Xie Dezhi found that the Dragon King was not as unapproachable as he imagined, and he was more willing to tell the truth, "We all got the first sword and gun two months ago. ”

"Do you know what is the most important thing in a war?"

"Go ahead. Xie Dezhi replied immediately.

"Eyes are fast. ”

"Together. ”

"Shoot hard"

......

More answers emerged, Gu Shen couldn't help nodding, and when the voices subsided, he said, "These are all important, but there is one thing you should never forget." ”

Countless eyes came, Gu Shenwei was not ready to say these words, but at this time he felt that it was very necessary, this army was different from the Beiting cavalry, it had not undergone complete training, and it had not been tested on the battlefield, and it was even inferior to the tens of thousands of dragon troops he left in the Easy Sea.

There are more than 20,000 people in total, of which 8,000 people have participated in the Battle of Xiaoyaohai, they form the main force, most of them are left in the rear by Gu Shenwei to stick to the camp, the 10,000 people he led are basically new soldiers, and only a small number of swordsmen in the Great Snow Mountain have experienced a hundred battles.

Gu Shenwei doesn't know much about the way to lead troops, but with experience, he knows that soldiers who are new to the battlefield are often flustered, and they can't play 12/12 in their usual training, and sometimes they can't even execute even the simplest tactics.

"Follow me. Gu Shenwei said, pointing to the nearby red crow flag, which was his symbol, "That is, following that flag, which is more important than anything else." ”

The dragon king's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, and his appearance was not majestic enough, but he had an unquestionable calmness.

The soldiers suddenly understood what the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were saying, "The Dragon King is blessed by the gods. ”

All of them clenched their weapons, many of them did not believe in the "gods", but still grew in courage and even began to yearn for a real battle.

The army continued to advance at a noticeably faster pace.

Han Fen heard this, and after that, she followed the Dragon King closely, if the Dragon King and the Red Crow Banner were not together, she would show a confused and struggling look, and through some kind of calculation that only she knew, sometimes following the Dragon King, sometimes following the flag.

Shangguan Yun was also there, praising the Dragon King's impromptu performance, thinking that there was only one shortcoming, "The Dragon King said it well, the morale is obviously high, but it's a little too early, and there is no enemy in front." ”

"No one knows when the enemy will appear. ”

Shangguan Yun just laughed, he had already proclaimed himself an idler, and he didn't want to talk more.

An hour later, Fu [***] was already not far from the agreed place, and Gu Shenwei was about to give the order to slow down, when the two scouts brought back unexpected news: a team of Beiting cavalry was rushing from the west.

"Thousands. The scout panted and said that this was an immature soldier who had not yet learned how to count the numbers quickly, "all with bows and arrows." ”

Gu Shenwei could feel the panic in front and back, it was no wonder that the Beiting cavalry had just annexed the Shule Kingdom, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the regular army of the Wang family was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and there was not even a decent resistance, how could this group of peasants, who had only picked up their swords and guns for a short time, not be a little afraid?

Miraculously, the whole team suddenly gathered in front of them, and the dragon king's reminder just now worked, and everyone was moving closer to the Red Crow Banner.

Gu Shenwei nodded to Long Chuanyun, "Fight." ”

Long Chuanyun immediately gave the order, and at the same time arranged the formations of each department.

Gu Shen adjusted his direction, first jogging, and after the whole army followed, he sped up.

This is not a qualified attack, if General Zuo Dugu Xian is here, he will point out many shortcomings, such as too rough understanding of the enemy army, too hasty preparations before the battle, etc., and the military advisor will point out that the Dragon King personally went into battle, and he also ran in the front, what an unsuitable risky behavior.

But Gu Shenwei felt that it had to be so, and the trip to Beiting told him a truth, it was not enough to just win the military power, but also to win the hearts of the people, obeying orders did not mean loyalty, the old Khan King vaguely saw through this, and Dotun was completely in the dark, and Gu Shenwei needed to do the opposite.

He doesn't care how many enemies there are, even if they are several times his own, he can't easily avoid them, this is the truth that Dugu Xian taught him: the Beiting cavalry is good at chasing and fleeing after defeat, and there is no tactic that is safer and more lethal than following the enemy and shooting arrows, and an inexperienced army will always turn a normal retreat into a rout.

Ascending a gentle slope, Gu Shenwei saw the enemy army in front of him, about three thousand people, and the other party obviously also learned about the existence of Fu [***] through the scouts, and was advancing rapidly, and his mouth emitted the whistling sound that the Beiting people often had in battle, and their tactics were the same as those of the Dragon King, and they also wanted to fight quickly.

The Beiting cavalry is one enemy and ten, this is the mantra of the Beiting people in the Western Regions, and they have never met an opponent in the Shule country, and they are not afraid of this mere 10,000 people.

Gu Shenwei blew the horn on his chest, and the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain sounded the horn at the same time, and the low and heavy voice immediately overwhelmed the whistling on the opposite side.

Gu Shenwei picked up speed again, and rode in the lead, behind him, the strongest swordsman was wearing heavy armor and holding the red crow flag, and the other swordsmen held shields and protected around the flag.

The soldiers also took out their shields, and their swords and guns did not move, this is the way Shang Liao came up with a fight, he believed that it was pointless to dance with knives and guns before rushing into the enemy group, and that not being shot was the most important thing.

Gu Shenwei could boost morale in a few words, but there was no way to teach the soldiers how to fight in a few hours, which was still the credit of other generals.

The two armies, without even knowing the identity of the other, charged each other in the wilderness, one feeling that victory was in hand, and the other insisted that he would not back down.

The first round of arrows came, and the roar of the people of Beiting and the trumpets of the swordsmen had already blended into one, and they collided in advance.

Gu Shenwei didn't have a shield, drew his sword and arrows, and found that there was someone around him protecting his flank, and he saw that it was Han Fen, and she was still cooing like a little hen.

Mounted archery is a little shorter than infantry, and the first round of arrows is usually a warning to scare the enemy back into the favorite state of chase of the people of Beiting.

This time their wish was disappointed, and the Shule people, who were usually as timid as rats, became not afraid of death, not only did not retreat, but charged faster.

The Beiting cavalry are also equipped with knives and guns, but unless they are forced to do so, they don't like to fall into close combat, and after the second round of arrows, the distance between the two sides is already very close, so close that the Beiting people are extremely uncomfortable.

The Beiting cavalry changed their tactics, turned their horses' heads to the right together, and galloped diagonally, while also not delaying the sideways drawing of their bows.

This trick is usually useful, but they ignore the fact that they only have 3,000 men on their side and 10,000 on their opponent, like a fish that swims fast and can avoid small nets, but cannot avoid huge nets.

Gu Shen was the first to rush into the enemy group, and then the blood basin composed of 10,000 soldiers closed their mouths and waved their hard shields, like rows of powerful molars, chewing the food in their mouths into powder.

It wasn't until the end of the battle that many soldiers realized that they had forgotten to use their weapons, and they only remembered one thing: follow the dragon king.

The name of the courage of Shule Fu [***] was established on this day.
