Chapter 527
"......" Tang Yue looked at the soldiers who were assembling and standby, there was not much expression on his face, but he was not very happy in his heart.
It's normal to say that anyone who sees their elite soldiers about to be thrown into a battlefield like a meat grinder will feel bad in their hearts.
It's just that Tang Yue's mood can neither be said nor prevented or violated.
As the courtiers under the current Empress Zhao Min, when faced with the need for sacrifice, no matter from which point of view, Tang Yue is not easy to refuse! After all, even if they have other thoughts, at this time, they must hide and serve wholeheartedly.
What's more, it was not only his subordinates who were sent out to consume, but also the soldiers under Zhang Wuji.
It's just that Tang Yue didn't know that although these people belonged to Zhang Wuji, they didn't belong to Gu Yi! Fundamentally, these people were the real cannon fodder, and they were abandoned from the beginning.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji was standing on the platform, looking at the soldiers below who were ready to go, and his face was not very good-looking.
Those who achieve great things are not informal!
In Gu Yi's mind, unless it is those who really belong to him, the rest of the people really don't care much about life or death!
To put it nicely, we will make a great achievement, and if we do great things, we must make sacrifices! To put it mildly, we are selfish! It is okay if others die, as long as our own people do not have much to lose!
Zhang Wuji knew Gu Yi's attitude very well, and he knew even more clearly what the final result would be for those people he brought out from the 'Blue Dragon Gang'!
From the very beginning, these people were defined as cannon fodder! Beings destined to be sacrificed for the sake of Gu Yi's future events!
Zhang Wuji knew this from the beginning, and he was powerless to change and stop anything!
As the leader of these people, Zhang Wuji considered himself incompetent. Because he never really thinks about them, everything on the surface is just a cover-up, and his real mind is to make these people become cannon fodder for the Lord Gu Yi, sacrificing and abandoning when necessary!
For this, Zhang Wuji felt guilty for them, but this guilt couldn't do anything at all except for the seemingly considerate care and compensation as much as he could!
As mentioned earlier, when it comes to doing great things, the necessary sacrifices are indispensable!
Compared with Gu Yi's descendants and the recognized team, these people who have not sincerely convinced Gu Yi either in name or substance naturally cannot be treated best!
It can be said that the existence of these people is to a large extent for consumption and sacrifice! Because the sacrifice of such consumption is exchanged for more and greater benefits!
At this moment, Zhang Wuji, these elite soldiers who are about to be sent to the battlefield are like this!
As nominally Zhang Wuji's cronies, the sacrifice of these people is to silence the rest of the people! Let those who are suspicious and questioning have nothing to say!
With the passage and conclusion of this great war, it can be believed that after the great war, the strength of Zhang Wuji's command will drop by a large margin! Naturally, the reassurance and trust in Zhang Wuji from the top down will follow! After all, after cutting off their own strength, Empress Zhao Min and the 'heavenly general' Zhang Zhuofan naturally have more and deepened their trust in him.
Not only that, but along with Zhang Wuji's subordinates, there are also those elites of the newly joined 'Northwest Army'!
Under Zhang Wuji's very hot persecution, Tang Yue now has to send his most elite manpower to Zhang Wuji's command to face the tragic war of attrition!
In this way, it will be difficult for the 'Northwest Army' to restore the strength of the previous 'Shanchuan Hall' at least in the short term, and it will be more 'loyal' to serve Empress Zhao Min in the future!
And Zhang Wuji's ultimate goal is to deplete the potential of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', so as to lose its potential and heritage in future battles!
"Brother Mowgli. Zhang Ling walked to Zhang Wuji's side and looked at Zhang Wuji with concern on her face.
As Zhang Wuji's closest person, Zhang Ling can see the grief hidden under Zhang Wuji's seemingly calm face!
Zhang Ling didn't know what Zhang Wuji's grief came from, but only guessed that he was unwilling and angry because he had to let his elite subordinates consume. It's just that Zhang Ling didn't know what to say, she could only comfort her softly.
Although Zhang Ling is smart, she has been reluctant to get involved in too many things since she was very early on. Especially for the sake of profit calculations and all kinds of despicable means, Zhang Ling is even more afraid of it!
But that doesn't mean she doesn't know that!
In Zhang Ling's thoughts, this war seems to be Empress Zhao Min's trust in Zhang Wuji, but in fact, it is to suppress and weaken Zhang Wuji through this battle!
After all, from the very beginning of the war, except for the initial assistance, the rest of the battle was almost a matter under Zhang Wuji's command. Whether it is to encircle and exterminate Wu Wuji's army, or to face the attack of the rebels led by Liao Zhenbang, many times it is up to Zhang Wuji to solve it himself!
No matter what the final outcome is, Zhang Wuji's strength will inevitably be greatly weakened, thus consolidating the authority and power of Empress Zhao Min!
After the fusion of Liao Zhenbang and Luo's this time, leading the army westward showed the empress Zhao Min's methods to the fullest!
Let's take a look at these troops who came with assistance, all of them are the newly surrendered Northwest Army, and none of Empress Zhao Min's real descendants have been sent over! It can be said that Empress Zhao Min's plan is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it---- of course, this is not the Purple Gold Continent!
This is the reason why Zhang Ling is becoming more and more unwilling to interfere in anything within the 'Hidden Dragon Society' now! Even if she is now in charge of the entire 'Heavenly Soldier', Zhang Ling only throws everything to the people below, and does not directly command.
When Zhang Wuji was defending the area under Wu Wuji's command before, when he adopted the strategy of killing and delaying, Zhang Ling also turned a blind eye, tried her best to help Zhang Wuji cover up everything, and helped him resist the pressure from Empress Zhao Min at the right time, which was also the key to seeing clearly!
Anyway, in today's Zhang Ling's mind, Zhang Wuji's position is definitely the highest!
To get back to the point, the most elite soldiers gathered below were already on standby, and everyone was standing there in unison, waiting for the order from Zhang Wuji on the point general platform in front of him.
"Brothers!" Zhang Wuji glanced at everyone below. Half of these people are Zhang Wuji's 'descendants', and they followed his team when they were in the 'Blue Dragon Gang'. The other half are the soldiers of the Northwest Army who came with the Northwest General Tang Yue, the elite warriors of the original 'Shanchuan Hall'.
"Listen, the sound of fighting there has been going on for four hours!" Zhang Wuji pointed to the location of the battlefield not far away, with a solemn expression, "From the very beginning of the battle to now, we have been fighting with the rebels for four hours!"
"This commander doesn't want to say anything big!" Zhang Wuji lowered his arm, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "What is loyal and patriotic, what is famous in history, this is all bullshit!"
"To put it bluntly, this war is whether we will continue to survive with glory in the future, or survive under the fence!"
"Among you in power, there are brothers who have followed me Zhang Wuji since the beginning of the 'Green Dragon Gang', and there are also brothers who came to help from the Northwest Army! This commander does not shy away from saying that we are not descendants from the roots! At least not the real descendants of Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Although it is not very certain to say, but the facts are the facts, and there is no need to avoid some things!" Zhang Wuji saw that the people below were a little commotion, and his voice increased a little, "We want to survive! We want to survive with glory! We want to seal our wives and sons, and we want to get ahead! What does everything depend on?!"
"If we win this battle, we will be Her Majesty's true cronies, because for Her Majesty the Empress and the Purple Gold Empire, we have defeated rebellion and forged glory! In the future, we can use this victory to make our wives and sons and get ahead!"
"But if we are defeated! We may be able to survive for a long time, but we will no longer have a future, and there will be no hope! We will be regarded as mud that cannot be put on the wall! We will also be regarded as cannon fodder with no future! What kind of wife and son will get ahead? When the time comes, it will be good if we will not be oppressed and exploited, and we will not be robbed of our glory and interests!"
"The eldest husband is born in the world, and he must stand up to the heavens and the earth and do his own career!" Zhang Wuji raised his voice a few points and shouted, "This battle! Victory, glory and wealth! Defeat, nothing!
"Victory, victory, victory!" "Everyone below clenched their right hands and shouted in high spirits.
"Very good!" Zhang Wuji waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Let's go!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!" After three shouts in unison, the lower part of the line approached the front line in an orderly manner.
"You're a grandson-in-law, you're not bad!" Hiding on the side, Mizumu Hawk, who came to observe, looked at the Dianjiangtai not far below and whispered.
"Ling'er chose it herself. Zhang Zhuofan didn't say anything, but said softly. However, it can be seen from his look that he is still very satisfied.
"Heh!" Rui Mu Ying looked at Zhang Zhuofan and said with a chuckle, "But from those words just now, it can be seen that your grandson-in-law is not the kind of person who is loyal to the king! I'm afraid that the empress Zhao Min is not very important in his heart!"
"......" Zhang Zhuofan was silent for a moment, looked at Ruimu Eagle and said, "You and I have lived for such a long time, can't you see some things clearly?"
"Haha!" Hearing this, Mizumu Hawk laughed, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect your 'Heavenly General' Lord to have such a mind!"
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, on the playground of the Chinese army led by Liao Zhenbang, Liao Zhenbang also started to mobilize in front of the station like Zhang Wuji.
"Brothers, victory is just around the corner!" Liao Zhenbang stood on the high platform and shouted excitedly, "As long as we break through the enemy's defense, we will definitely win the final victory!"
"I, Liao, swear here, as long as you win, all of you will be glorious and rich! Money, status, and beautiful women, all will not be lacking!"
"After this battle, all the towns that are occupied, and you are allowed to sweep away the fleeing enemy in one day......."
"Hooray! Hooray!" all of them had red lights in their eyes and their faces full of excitement and excitement.
In Liao Zhenbang's words, the promise of glory and wealth did not cause too many repercussions, but allowed them to set up troops for one day to 'sweep away the rebellious enemy', which made everyone excited.
Although the words are very righteous, it is 'to sweep away the hidden enemy', in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to give up military discipline for a day and let everyone below burn, kill and loot!
This is the most common way in the Purple Gold Continent to motivate one's subordinates, and it is also a method that is rarely used!
As mentioned earlier, the battles between the various forces in the Purple Gold Continent before did not disturb ordinary civilians very much! Even if the fighting was very fierce and cruel, the common people should still do what they should do, and at most they would change to the other party who paid taxes later.
Sometimes, in order to let the warriors under his command exert their strongest combat effectiveness, they desperately gave up the tacit understanding that did not involve the common people before, and instead indulged their subordinates, plundering and bullying the civilian people in the newly occupied areas like bandits after victory.
This method is generally not used, because once it is used, it will definitely make the victorious side full of bad comments, and it will be followed by resistance and non-cooperation from all sides! It will take a long time to recover from this evil!
Of course, once this method is implemented, your combat effectiveness will be greatly improved in a short period of time!
The so-called people have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat!
Middle- and low-level warriors don't actually have much wealth, even the most valued elites, they can't talk about wealth. Once they are allowed to indulge in plundering, it is tantamount to giving them a chance to make a fortune! You know, even if the common people no longer have money, every household has at least some savings! Not to mention the shops and rich people in the towns!
Not only that, but the root of human inferiority is hidden in the deepest part of human nature! Once the infinite indulgence is achieved, those who usually behave very mildly may become beasts in an instant!
Not to mention, low-level martial artists are not very good by nature, cruel and murderous, and possessive of women will be infinitely magnified under this kind of order, so ......
In any case, the elites of both sides soon entered the battlefield, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the most ferocious battle began!
One side is for the sake of faith for himself and his family, and the other side is for the sake of his own desires, for the desire that is about to be cast. It doesn't matter if it's high or low, it doesn't matter if it's high or low! Both sides have their own persistence and have begun to fight for life and death!
Compared to the previous battle, the battle after the elite warriors joined was more brutal and fierce, with flesh-and-blood limbs and tragic shouts resounding in the sky!
It's just that after all, there is a high and low will, and Zhang Wuji's more appropriate motivational words than Liao Zhenbang made the warriors under his command gradually take the initiative.
Man is such an interesting creature, when he is for himself, even if he insists on his thoughts, he can easily be defeated by selfishness, and when he is for others, selfishness that has long been discarded will not be an obstacle at all!
Soon, the rebels under Liao Zhenbang's command were afraid and gradually spread......
