There are many ways to boost morale, and some generals are born with a kind of personality charm, which can make the soldiers under their command unconditionally willing to die for him. There are not many people who can really go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for him, and die without regrets, and there are not many people who have this kind of charm, and they often achieve the fame of a generation of famous generals, leaving a strong mark in history.

Some generals rely on winning the hearts and minds of the soldiers, eating and sleeping together, sharing weal and woe, strict military discipline, and doing things fairly, and this kind of general can also quickly win the respect of the soldiers and soldiers, so that they are willing to serve him.

Of course, the fastest, most direct, and simplest and crudest way to win the hearts of the army and improve morale is to throw money, like Xu Mingzhu.

Whether you are an official or a soldier, it is difficult to be rejected after all, especially for those soldiers whose family backgrounds are generally not good, money is a good thing for their families to eat and drink all their lives.

Xu Mingzhu is not deeply involved in the world and lacks many life experiences and experiences, but she was born in a businessman, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows the importance of money, so today, she made a very decisive decision, tens of thousands of family fortunes were scattered, in exchange for the cheers and encouragement of all the soldiers, and the morale that was extremely low was instantly pulled to a boiling peak.

An army can only win a battle when it has morale, looking at the jubilant appearance of the soldiers and listening to all kinds of words of gratitude, the corners of Xu Mingzhu's mouth finally showed a long-lost smile.

The military heart is available, which means that the husband is saved, these people will definitely go to the risk, with the determination to risk their lives, Xu Mingzhu is only meaningful to run back and forth thousands of miles, because she has brought a real tiger and wolf army to her husband.

The front is only a hundred miles away from Xizhou, and this reinforcement army that has been rushing for thousands of miles is finally full of vitality and murderous spirit when it is about to reach its destination. Towards the city of Xizhou, march.

***************************************************************

Xizhou City.

Li Su didn't know that a reinforcement army was very close to him, on the contrary, Li Su felt that he was in a desperate situation.

A real desperate situation, with scorched earth and corpses in front of you, look ahead. Outside the city, there were still countless enemy troops, lined up three miles outside the city, quietly watching the city where the flames were not extinguished.

The city was burned with fire, and it was neat, and the main general of the enemy army was really not a vegetarian.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers in the city, and the fire burned for two days and two nights, and in these two days and two nights, less than five hundred of the three thousand defenders remained, and all of them were wounded of varying severity. It can be said that this is a remnant army with low combat effectiveness.

As far as the eye can see, there are corpses, the city was burned for two days, countless brothers were burned alive on the head of the city, the enemy army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, the attack was unprecedentedly fierce, and countless robes and the enemy fought and died exhausted. In the end, there are fewer and fewer people, and the combat power is getting weaker and weaker. Even scholars like Li Su and Cao Yu had to pick up arms to kill the enemy in person, Cao Yu suffered more than 20 large and small injuries, Li Su was lucky, but he was cut with two long knife cuts on his back, and his left hand was smashed by a stone, which may be a little cracked.

said that Li Su was lucky. It is better to say that Li Su's life is good, there are Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou around him desperately to protect him, Wang Zhu's Da Mo knife of more than 20 catties has already rolled the blade, Rao is natural strength is infinite, and he is too tired to raise his hand after an attack and defense. His face was pale, lying on the head of the city, and he was asleep.

As for Zheng Xiaolou, at this life-and-death moment, Li Su finally saw the real kung fu of the ranger, up and down, jumping left and right, the move was cold and ruthless, and the shot went straight to the enemy's vital point, and the knife went out and immediately retracted, and the other party had fallen to the ground with a bang, and after watching it for a long time, he gradually saw some tricks, Li Su finally found that Zheng Xiaolou practiced the kind of assassin knife technique, one move and one style are like thunder, the shot will be fatal, and the knife is shot, there is no boring idea of separating the winner from the loser, but directly taking people's lives, either you die or I live.

Jiang Quan was injured even more seriously, because he had been on the front line of command, and when there was a crisis at any battlement, he was often the first to rush up, and then fought regardless of life and death.

The city was burned for two days, and the uninterrupted siege was also two days, and the three thousand defenders became five hundred, and the city was covered with corpses, some of the enemy, and some of the robes, and sadly, the living people had no strength to carry the corpses of the robes down the city, because they were too tired, and because of despair to numbness, it would not be long before they would become one of the countless corpses in a day or two, and their lives would be over.

It was so tragic that Li Su couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he recalled the offensive and defensive battles of the past two days. Countless robes fought with their lives, biting with their teeth, and even holding the enemy and planting them from the city, rather than being broken for the jade.

This lifeless style of play not only shocked the enemy soldiers, but also deeply shocked Li Su. Therefore, after two days of burning the city, Xizhou has not yet fallen, the enemy is more and more frightened, and the morale is getting lower and lower, and the defenders of the Tang Dynasty seem to have become a madman who does not want to die.

The inside and outside of the city were so dilapidated that all that should have been burned was burned out, and when the fire was extinguished, all that was left was devastation and desolation.

After another difficult offensive and defensive battle, the enemy retreated like a tide, throwing down corpses all over the ground, and on the head of Xizhou City, Li Su squinted his eyes and glanced at the living robe, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

People, many less, fewer people, will never appear again.

I don't want to pretend to count the casualties, Li Su knows that the counted numbers will definitely make him even more sad, only by personally experiencing and participating in this tragic offensive and defensive battle do he know that the casualty figures in the war are not just cold and ruthless numbers, each number represents a person, a person who can talk and laugh, this person may be ordinary, or cowardly, with all kinds of shortcomings of ordinary people, and also has a shining light that ordinary people do not have.

Looking up, the flag representing the Tang Emperor in the middle of the city is still fluttering in the wind, and a golden flying dragon on the flag is dancing with its teeth and claws, coldly watching the joys and sorrows of the world.

Wang Zhu and Jiang Quan were lying on the road, snoring one after another, the blood from the wounds on their bodies had gradually dried up and condensed, but their faces were frighteningly pale, Li Su couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and then relieved for a while.

In fact, the battle has reached this point, and there is no suspense about the ending, including myself, and the days on the road are only in these days or two.

A cold wind blew, Jiang Quan suddenly shivered, then woke up, sat up straight, turned his head and slowly looked around at the living soldiers, his eyes showing a little pain.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Quan called in a hoarse voice: "Chen Fulai, Wang Siliu, come over to me!" ”

Li Su became more and more sour, these two names were Jiang Quan's personal guards.

I called three times, but no one answered.

Jiang Quan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared unwillingly: "Feng Laosan, Liu Gong, come here!" ”

These two names are his fellow countrymen, the fire captains of the cavalry camp, but unfortunately no one has answered.

Jiang Quan finally burst into tears, unwillingly pulling his throat and shouting familiar names one after another.

Li Su hung his head very low and sighed weakly: "General Jiang...... Forget it, they can't answer you. ”

Jiang Quan was stunned, let the tears flow for a long time, and after a long time, he lowered his head calmly: "Oh, I can't respond, then...... Forget it. (To be continued.) )
