Using slaves as cannon fodder to train the generals' siege command ability is the only time in the past that only Zhao Ziliang dares to think and do this!

After the twenty-second day of the siege, almost all the top-ranked generals in Zhao Ziliang's army took turns to command the siege, exhausted various tactics and means, but still did not capture Jerusalem, which made the generals of the Western Qin army very unconvinced, and the defenders in the city were just a group of rookies who had not experienced any battle.

April 12th.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the handsome seat in the golden armor and said to the generals: "Today is the twenty-second day of the siege, you still haven't broken the city, the time given to you by the lonely king has run out, you have the best equipment in the world, the sharpest weapons, the strongest horses, the sharpest siege weapons, the longest-range bows and crossbows, the most obedient soldiers, and the most complete logistics system, but you are still blocked in Jerusalem. Now you should know that you are not invincible, a group of recruits without any combat experience have thwarted your spirit here, they are not actually a regular army, they have not undergone systematic and strict military training, there is no excellent command of famous generals, there are not enough fortifications and materials, they are just farmers, traders, slaves, wanderers, grooms, blacksmiths, tailors, etc., who are randomly organized, it is these peddlers and pawns that make you invincible on the battlefield. The invincible generals have sunk into the sand! ”

The crowd lowered their heads in shame when Zhao Ziliang said this.

Xuan 13 was a little unconvinced, and said: "King, we used slaves to attack the city, and did not use the men and horses of our own department, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, let us command a group of rabble without any training to attack this fortified city, and it is reasonable that we can't break the city!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Xuan Thirteen, who lowered his head at him and didn't dare to say anything more.

"If you use your headquarters to attack the city, will the Lone King still need you generals to command the siege? The lonely king can capture it by appointing a small general, in the eyes of this king, you are all going back more and more, thinking that you have won a lot of battles over the years, and all the tails are raised to the sky, looking like the boss and my second, putting no one in his eyes, the person who really has the ability, even if he commands a group of rabble, he can win the battle! ”

"Wei Gao, what did you learn in this command operation?"

Wei Gao thought for a while, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Weichen really underestimated the enemy, thinking that they were just a group of rabble, the establishment, training, weapons and equipment and logistics were not comprehensive, the fish and dragons were mixed, and the combat effectiveness was uneven, but I didn't expect that they would be able to hold out for so long when they really fought!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Ma Sui again: "What about you?" ”

Ma Sui stood up and said: "After this time, Weichen understands that no opponent can be underestimated, and to despise the opponent is to despise himself!" ”

Zhao Ziliang also knew that it was a very difficult thing to let these generals organize those disobedient slaves to fight, and it was even more difficult to let them command the slaves to win the battle. To command these slaves to fight, the first test is not tactical command skills, but their organizational skills!

Zhao Ziliang looked at the generals and said: "In terms of command ability, you are all outstanding, you are familiar with all kinds of tactics, and some of you understand the influence of the laws of astronomical geography and weather changes on operations, and even use these to fight, so as to win the war, but you all have a fatal flaw, do you know what it is?" ”

The generals had blank expressions.

"You all lack the organizational skills corresponding to your position, and those who are strong in organization can organize a rabble into a rope in a very short time, and exert all their strength in one place, all of them are not afraid of death, and they command like an arm, pointing and fighting. Obviously, your organizational ability is not enough, if it is our Western Qin soldiers who are commanded, any of you will rely on your prestige in the army, the soldiers will obey unconditionally, and take the initiative to implement according to your ideas and will, but you are leading a group of alien slaves, they don't know any of you, and they don't know your glorious achievements, you are a group of strangers in their eyes, or strangers of different races, or even heretics, although they have to attack the city, But deep down, they are actually very resistant, and this resistance will manifest itself in action, so if your tactics are not well executed, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced, and the things that are safe and secure will fail because the tactics are not effectively executed. These days, the Lone King has been watching you command the siege, if you replace the siege slaves with our Western Qin infantry, any of you can easily break the city within three days, but you have not found that the slaves are not effective in carrying out the orders you have given, and even if they do, there is no way to solve it! ”

"That's right, I said how I command it is very awkward, so that's the reason!"

"I also remembered that sometimes when an order is given, it feels like a punch on the cotton, and it doesn't work at all!"

The general began to talk to each other, some thoughtful, others to realize.

Zhao Ziliang continued: "This is the reason for your lack of organizational ability, if you want to command a group of rabble to fight, you must first let them obey orders and actively carry them out, and the most important thing is to make them obey from the heart, not the surface!" There are both innate and acquired factors in the strength of organizational skills. Some people are born with a strong personality charisma, which can make people obey willingly, and can attract others to rally around them; There are also some people who have cultivated strong organizational skills through continuous training, such as learning knowledge, exercising eloquence, personally going deep into contact with them among the lowest personnel, mastering their thoughts, communicating with them, obtaining their recognition, and letting them take the initiative to cooperate, these are one of the manifestations of organizational ability, for example, some eloquent people can be convincing through language, eloquence also needs to be constantly practiced and exercised, no one can talk eloquently in the face of thousands of troops in life, Can say the words that make their blood boil······"

Zhao Ziliang's words made the generals suddenly feel that his knowledge was as vast as the sea, and even he understood and was proficient in all of these, no wonder he could be a king, no wonder he could support a huge kingdom, and no wonder he had the ability to turn the tide.

The generals clasped their fists and bowed in respect: "The king is wise and wise, and the ministers are dull!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked, "Chen Qing, how many slaves are left?" ”

Chen Qing clasped his fists and replied: "There are more than two thousand people left, less than three thousand!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Well, the Lone King also let you see that once the slaves are organized, they can also do great things." The order goes down, and tomorrow the rest is a day, and the king will go to train those slaves, and the next morning the king himself will direct them to attack the city, and you will also go and see! ”

The generals looked at each other, clasped their fists together, and said, "Obey!" ”

The next morning, Zhao Ziliang came to the slave camp. The original more than 19,000 slaves, now there are less than 3,000 people left, and the others are all lost in the siege process, and now the morale of more than 2,000 slaves is extremely low, and none of the slaves who went out from here have returned, even if they did not see it with their own eyes, they can guess that all those slaves died in the siege process, so they are now extremely resistant to the siege, thinking that this is a certain death. Now some of the more than 2,000 slaves have already sprung up on escaping, premeditating the death of the guards, snatching weapons and then escaping.

In this regard, the spies planted among the slaves in Dongchang have already reported the news, and Zhao Ziliang had already received the news two days ago, when he did not take action.

After breakfast, more than 2,700 slaves were gathered in a phalanx in the middle of the camp.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the platform that had been built, and all the slaves looked at this tall and powerful general, they didn't know his identity, they only knew that this must be a big man in the Western Qin army, because that golden armor was not something that anyone could wear.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the front of the stage with the handle of the war knife and glanced at all the slaves and said: "Maybe you don't know who I am, I am here to introduce myself, I am Zhao Ziliang, the king of Western Qin!" ”

The translator translated his words into four languages: Greek, Arabic, Roman, and Persian, but here in the Middle East, most of them are Arabic, after all, the Arabs have ruled here for more than a hundred years.

The slaves opened their mouths in astonishment one by one, and many of them knelt on the ground involuntarily, it was really the reputation of the King of Western Qin who was too loud.

"Get up, I allow you all to stand and talk to me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand as he spoke, "Because you are about to become warriors, warriors are people worthy of respect, every warrior has his own dignity, even if he wants to die, he can only die standing up!" ”

After listening to the few words, the slaves' emotions stirred uncontrollably, and the blood flow in their bodies seemed to begin to increase.

After everyone stood up, Zhao Ziliang said: "That's right, you all guessed right, you are about to attack Jerusalem, I know that you must be reluctant in your hearts, you must have a lot of questions, I will give you a quarter of an hour for you to ask questions, you can ask any questions, but I hope these questions are related to you!" ”

The slaves were silent for a while, and no one dared to ask the first question, but there were still bold people, and one of them raised his hand and said, "May I ask your majesty, are all the besiegers who have gone out from here dead?" ”
