Chapter 134: Renewing the Dust Collection (2)
.After military orders were issued, the troops of each county retreated one after another, and of course some were unwilling to leave.
No matter when, there are patriotic and unpatriotic people, and now, Zhao Qian is considered one of the patriotic people.
After all, Zhao Qian was a famous general. He made achievements on the battlefield like his ancestors. He had been unable to succeed in Ba County for a long time and wanted to take advantage of this time that Hu*ju was invading, so he could also get a good background. Of course, he refused to miss this opportunity. He went up to Zhang Chi and said, "Governor, the last general is willing to follow the prince, conquer the Hu people, and recover the six counties."
"Don't you regret it?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
"I will never regret it!"
Zhang Chi nodded slightly.
Although the soldiers and horses in Yizhou lost most of the losses this time, there were also bloody men who were unwilling to leave: "Men should fight on the battlefield, defend their country, and wrap their bodies in their horses and horses, and the last generals are willing to follow the governor. But..."
"It's just something?" Zhang Chi asked.
The general replied: "It's just that the governor of Yizhou strictly ordered the generals of the counties in Yizhou to withdraw. I took my troops and horses to follow the prince. I also asked the prince to treat my subordinates like me well in the future. If he could recover the six counties and return, he would also ask the governor not to release the alive person to this county. Otherwise, the governor of Yizhou would be narrow-minded and these soldiers and generals would be held accountable."
The general was already determined to die. Zhang Chi was indeed feeling a little moved and asked, "What's your name?"
The general stood up and clasped his fists and replied, "The last general Gao Yan."
Zhang Chi nodded, not sure if he could do it, so he turned around and passed the order and said, "The three armies are in line, I have something to say!"
...
But in a moment, the three armies were finally arranged, and Zhang Chi came out on a white horse.
Zhang Chi originally had only 70,000 or 80,000 troops, of which 50,000 were Yizhou soldiers and horses. When he fought against the Hu people, most of the soldiers and horses in Yizhou were injured, but now most of them have been withdrawn. Now there are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses originally belonged to Yizhou.
Zhao Qian also had 5,000 troops from Ba County. In addition to Qin Bo's elite soldiers from Badong County, Du Ximing's Yuan Xinjun and the 10,000 refugees recruited after arriving in Shuzhong, and the total number of the original five dou rice roads brought by Hanxiang was only more than 30,000. It is indeed a bit unoptimistic to use these people to fight against the Hu people. No wonder Gao Yan had already made the determination to die.
At this time, these tens of thousands of people were waiting for the army, and before that, the army was the generals.
Zhang Chi rode on the snow and patrolled before the army before turning over and dismounting. He walked to the point and asked loudly: "Do you know where we are going to fight this time?"
More than 30,000 people said that there were no more or less, but Zhang Chi stood alone on the platform and spoke loudly, and there were only a limited number of people who heard it. Only the close generals replied in unison: "Warring on the battlefield, horses were wrapped in corpses, and the governor had orders, and everything was followed!"
What can the soldiers in the distance hear? They just know that they will shout in unison with the generals in front: "Everyone will follow!"
The sound was like waves. The sounds in the vicinity had just submerged, and another wave of sound came from afar, which was shocking the sky.
Zhang Chi was quiet for a moment and shouted at the top of his lungs: "This time we are going to attack the six northern counties occupied by the Hu people, and go deep into the enemy. We are going to attack the Hu people!"
"Beat the Hu people! Beat the Hu people!"
"Beat the Hu people! Beat the Hu people!"
"Beat the Hu people! Beat the Hu people!"
...Another wave of rushing.
Zhang Chi continued to shout loudly: "The Hu people killed my brothers, insulted my wife and daughters, seized my six counties, and forced them to suppress them for years, causing constant wars in the world. The dead were exposed to their bodies in the wilderness, and the living were separated. Now I want to take you to the national crisis, expel the captives, and restore China!"
"Expel the captives and restore China!"
"Expel the captives and restore China!"
"Expel the captives and restore China!"
...The voice is more intense than just now.
Zhang Chi liked this passionate feeling very much. The blue shirt moved in the wind. After a moment, the voice fell. Zhang Chi continued: "However, this trip attacked the six counties, and there were many crises. We must have the ambition to die as if we were home, but I can't give you anything."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chi's expression was dim.
"If someone doesn't want to go, I will never force it. If I choose to follow me, Zhang Chi, I can't guarantee anything else. I can only guarantee that I will follow me, Zhang Chi today, and from now on, I will be my brothers. We will work together to fight against foreign humiliation and never give up on life and death!"
Although there weren't a few words in total, when Zhang Chi finished speaking, his voice was hoarse and his voice was hoarse, which added a bit of tragic.
"If there are old and young people in the family, I will never blame Zhang Chi. Even if I am afraid of the dead, I will never stop him from leaving. I will not hear all the soldiers of the three armies saying this. Please let the generals at all levels in front convey it to me layer by layer! If anyone wants to leave, they can leave on the spot!"
After saying that, Zhang Chi sat in front of the stage.
Zhang Chi thought very clearly. Now it is not the beginning. Although the Hu people had an army of 300,000, they won because they had a battle site on their own territory, with cities to defend and land at the same time. It would be different when they went on an expedition this time. This time they had to attack the city. If they wanted to start like that, even if there were 70,000 or 80,000 people, the people were uneven, and not only could they not be able to exert their due combat power, but they would cause trouble.
The castle is easily breached from the inside.
The reason why Zhang Chi wanted to understand the entire army was clearly stated that all soldiers knew that the people who stayed were determined to die and were willing to sacrifice their lives to defend their country, so that they could become a army of tigers and wolves.
Soldiers are important, not many!
It took a lot of time for generals at all levels to convey it. Many soldiers had old and young families and left in a mess, but no one stopped them.
At first, these soldiers didn't believe that the Grand Commander could really be the same as what he said. Even if he was greedy for life and feared death, he would never stop him. Just imagine who would be willing to die if he could have lived? For a moment, the morale of the army was a little shaken.
To be honest, Ding Yizhi felt a little nervous at this time.
He didn't expect that Zhang Chi suddenly lined up the array and said this in front of the array. And now that the military order is over, it is too late for him to stop it.
Since ancient times, soldiers have been driven by generals. Even if they die, they cannot tell the soldiers. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to die? Isn’t this self-disrupting the morale of the army? No wonder Ding Yizhi is worried.
In fact, this is true. In the era of cold weapons, soldiers and generals were two classes. Only generals have always regarded soldiers as cannon fodder. Who has cherished the lives of these cannon fodders? Even those famous generals throughout the ages, the method used was nothing more than using both kindness and power, and no one dared to announce the truth to the three armies.
But Zhang Chi did the opposite, because he felt that people must save themselves before someone could help them.
I think that Zhang Chi was so cold in the Chengdu Palace today. Even the officials in Shu were like this. If they refused to save themselves, who could help?
If no one is willing to fight the Northern Expedition today, that would be fine. Such a country should perish and such a nation should perish!
But he just doesn't believe it. If he doesn't believe in this world, there will be no passionate man!
The army was not firm enough, and people kept moving. Du Ximing was patrolling the horse and saw an ordinary soldier standing in place without moving. Du Ximing immediately asked, "Why don't you move? Are you not afraid of death?"
The soldier replied loudly: "I'm afraid of death!"
"Why are you still standing straight when you are afraid of death? Do you don't know that the people who stayed will go to the Northern Expedition of the Hu people, and you will die for a lifetime?"
The soldier looked at him without squinting and replied loudly again: "I am afraid of death, but my parents were killed by the Hu people, my wife and children were killed by the Hu people, and all my relatives were killed by the Hu people! What's the use of living a secret life? I want to kill the enemy and take revenge, defend my country, and never regret death!"
The words were righteous and stern, and the soldiers lined up beside him started to shout loudly, but gradually, the sound became louder and louder. In the end, the whole army was shouting in a row.
Many soldiers already had tears in their eyes.
How many years have the war in the world? Who has few relatives died under the iron hooves of the Hu people? Many soldiers shouted this sentence in a crying voice, shouting loudly: "Defend the country, and don't regret it even if they die!"
Even some soldiers who began to leave intentionally stood back in the team and shouted in unison.
It took two or three hours.
What should be gone is gone, and what remains is the elite Zhang Chi wants.
Generals at all levels calculated the numbers at each level, and finally Du Ximing stepped onto the general stage.
"How many people are left?" Zhang Chi asked.
"There are still 23,731 people in total." Du Ximing was a little discouraged, after all, more than 10,000 people left.
Du Ximing was not satisfied, but Zhang Chi was already very happy. This number was much higher than the bottom line in his heart: "Okay, the rest of the people are reorganized. I am not familiar with military affairs. I appointed Du Ximing to command the entire army, and Qin Bo was his deputy general. I will rectify it for one day and go to the battle in two days!"
Seeing the current situation, Ding Yizhi let out a long sigh. The situation where the soldiers he was most worried about was scattered and shining did not happen after all, and Zhang Chi's performance also surprised him.
After experiencing these things, although Zhang Chi is still not very proficient in military affairs, he is able to do a good job of dispatching. Otherwise, he would not have been able to use a series of tricks to defeat the main force of the Hu people before.
Seeing Ding Yizhi smile, Zhang Chi also asked with a smile: "Cousin, why are you laughing at?"
Ding Yizhi replied: "Yizhi smiles because of his brother, who is becoming more and more like a heroic master."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel ashamed: "What kind of style do I have? If I lead troops to fight, I should rely more on Du Ximing and Qin Bo, and plan strategies, and rely more on you, cousin. I want me to say, you are the style, I am a fool who can't do anything."
"Brothers should know that Liu Bang and Han Xin are well-known for their experiences. Han Xin leads troops, and the more they are, the better, but Liu Bang can only lead a few soldiers. Why is Liu Bang the monarch, and Han Xin is just a general under his command?" Ding Yizhi smiled and said, "The difference between Han Xin and Liu Bang is that Han Xin can lead troops, while Liu Bang can lead generals."
"What's the difference?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
