Miserable, what is miserable?

Knowing that there will be a bad end, they must "do what they can't do", and many officers go to the military academy for further study, and they are often emphasized in one sentence, and the full text is not long -- for soldiers, what they need to do is to carry out the orders of their superiors, not to think about why they should carry out the military orders.

For a period of time, quite a number of officers who went to Nanling Military Academy for further study thought that sentence was extremely correct, after all, they were the ones who came to be promoted, and naturally hoped that their orders could be carried out unconditionally.

What now? Tang Jie, one of the twenty-eight lords, may continue to scold the bastard (Zhou Wen) who gave the order to die in a coma, and Zhou Kang, who took over the command of the West Bank, must have cursed in his heart. But what can be done, this is Lingnan, and there is a surging river behind it, even if you want to disobey the military order, where can you escape! As for surrender, you don't have to think about it, you will surrender if you have a sick brain, and you like to eat human flesh.

The hard days are finally coming to an end, but what is ushered in may not be "spring", it is very likely to be more cruel than the "harsh winter".

The number of casualties in the battle of Lu Zhe's army against the various ethnic groups in Lingnan was about 7,000, but this was only a part of the loss, and there were still more than 2,200 missing people on the statistical list of the troops.

After all, the barbarians are not stupid, they will not watch the follow-up troops leisurely cross the river, they will release human or unmanned rafts from the upstream, and there will always be losses every time the east bank reinforces the west bank.

Tens of thousands of casualties were produced in seven days, even against the legendary Qiang Qin army, there was no such a big loss, which time before Lu Zhe's army against hundreds of Yue people was not tens of thousands of victories, the cleanest is Changsha County, the first battle annihilated nearly 500,000 hundred Yue coalition army, how did the Lingnan campaign start all kinds of trouble?

The officers on the west bank of the Lishui knew that their unit had become a bait to hold back the allied forces of various ethnic groups in Lingnan, and they also knew that no matter what the outcome of this battle was, great merit would definitely be given. If it weren't for the fact that it was a great credit to be on the west bank of the water, he would not have thought of running away when he was tired of living.

"Wake up. The captain is awake! ”

Zhou Dang was still worried about how to arrange the retreat order, and the doctor who didn't know his name but was strictly ordered to stay in the big tent of the Chinese army to take care of Tang Jie came.

Tang Jie is awake, what he is not poisonous, it is said to be a kind of vine plant in Lingnan that can paralyze people and faint. Of course, there is definitely more than one poison in him, so the flesh in the injured area will appear blue and need to be cut off.

Zhou Dang and Chen Shao went to see Tang Jie who woke up, and what they saw after they entered the tent was Tang Jie, who seemed to be in a state of wandering in the world, and the two of them came in and didn't react.

I don't know how long it was, but it should have been a quarter of an hour or so? Tang Jie finally spoke. His voice sounded hoarse, and his volume was not high: "Tell me in detail about today's battle." Try to speak as slowly as possible, my ears keep ringing. ”

Zhou Dang had long been fed up with the heavy pressure, he took a deep breath and began to speak in a slow speaking rhythm, focusing on the battle situation after Tang Jie fell into a coma, and finally said in an unusually depressed tone: "Only less than 1,500 robes can still dance weapons. ”

After listening, Tang Jie digested for a long time before speaking: "I had a dream......", he paused and looked at Zhou Dang and Chen Shao in the tent, and the medical craftsman automatically ignored it: "The barbarians attacked at night." We all died on the West Bank," he smiled miserably: "But because of our delay, the tens of thousands of barbarians who came to attack were surrounded by the main general and annihilated. ”

The ancients were superstitious, very, very superstitious. As long as everything has something to do with ghosts, you will be convinced if you have a little evidence, especially for the "prophecy" of dreams.

Zhou Dang and Chen Shao, who listened to it, only felt a tingling of their scalps, and after looking at each other, Zhou Dang asked: "What does the captain mean?" The barbarians will launch a general attack tonight? ”

Tang Jie wasn't playing tricks, but he didn't quite remember what he dreamed about, so he would say that Zhou Dang introduced the battle situation as a subconscious hint. He supplemented the "script" of this dream based on some of the fragments he still remembered from the dream.

The army of Lu Zhe on the west bank has less than 1,500 combat strength left, and it can be said with certainty that it is already the end of the crossbow, as long as the enemy commander is not a fool, how can he see that the opportunity to launch a general attack has come.

In fact, there is no need to be so complicated, those barbarians in Lingnan are already attacking day and night, and according to the normal combat situation, the remnants of their remaining 1,500 combat strength will really be unable to withstand it if they support it twice more. So Tang Jie is talking nonsense at all, and he can treat his behavior as a kind of pretending to show off in front of his subordinates.

In ancient times, it was an inevitability to pretend to be X, either to maintain mystery or to enhance what was to be said next and let the ghosts and gods help "endorse" it so that the absurd thing had a good explanation, both to find an excuse.

Sure enough, I heard Tang Jie say again: "I want to launch an active counterattack to interrupt the deployment of the enemy's army, but also to be able to retreat smoothly tomorrow." ”

Lu Zhejun said that there is not much market for gods, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, and what they have learned is that the result must be because of what choice they made in advance, that is, there is a reason.

Unfortunately, Zhou Kang and Chen Shao are both military marquises, and they have learned the most obvious "logic", and they will soon be able to get around Tang Jie's specious ghost theory and rely on their IQs to understand.

To put it bluntly, Tang Jie just thinks that everyone may end up in passive defense, since it is to be finished, it is better to take a risk, anyway, the date of retreat has been issued according to the express military order, so the restriction of passive defense can be regarded as lifted.

"Lieutenant, please!" Zhou Dang and Chen Shao saluted together.

Tang Jie looked so weak that it was difficult to even speak, it was obvious that the candidates to lead the team on the adventure could only be Zhou Kang or Chen Shao, they agreed with Tang Jie's choice, but such a formal salute was not a race to sacrifice himself for the sake of most people. They were waiting for Tang Jie to offer a suitable price, after all, Tang Jie was not a military order, so what kind of military merit he would get from the risk must be made clear in advance.

Realistic? It is indeed very realistic, the army is a violent organization, and it is true that it can also be given a mortal task for the soldiers to complete, but everything must have a price code, and the price code is suitable for willing sacrifice, and the price code is not right, since they are all going to die, what kind of death is not, now there is no concept of national righteousness, and there is no "for so-and-so, you go to die", "live glorious, die great" and other flickering skills, talking about what your family will get after your death, and what kind of specifications will be grief. If the family members who die cannot be properly cared for, and the mourning is unsatisfactory, then whether they die or not needs to be considered in detail.

Therefore, Tang Jie understands, and there is no unpleasant affection for his subordinates to ask about the price code. He was willing to come over to command the decoy army on the west bank, and he also negotiated the price with Zhou Wen first, his price code and the price code of the soldiers participating in the battle, and also informed the participating troops what kind of military merits they would get in this battle, and used this method to enhance the resilience of the participating troops.

Don't get me wrong, just a casual army can bargain with the main general, that is the treatment that only the "army of the dead" has, the intention is to make these people willing to die in battle without burden, not only Lu Zhe has such a "convention" here, until the Han Dynasty and the Chinese ethnic groups were like this, and it was not until after the Wuhu Chaos that no such thing happened.

After negotiating the conditions, it was also the price that Tang Jie could offer, and Chen Shao, who was relatively bold, felt that it was cost-effective and took over the task of leading the team to attack.

There are only 1,500 combat strength left, which means that Chen Shao can only lead the troops to attack with less than 500 soldiers.

In a war of more than 10,000 people, 500 people can't afford to smash a ripple into it in many cases, but if used properly at a certain moment, 500 people can decide the outcome of a war.

The allied forces of various ethnic groups in Lingnan are observing the reality of Lu Zhejun's army on the west bank, how can the officers of Lu Zhejun, who have been educated in the regular army, be blind? Tang Jie had been paying attention to the enemy army for a long time, not only did he find that there was an armed force that did not belong to the Baiyue system, but also found the main position of the enemy's troops, if it wasn't for the fact that the head of the enemy army was too cunning, there was no doubt that the enemy army should be in the woods in front of him.

Since it is intended to disrupt the enemy's military operations, what could be more direct and effective than attacking the location of the enemy's leader?

It's not that Tang Jie looks down on the allied forces of the various ethnic groups in Lingnan that he wants to use 500 people to attack the commander of the first army, but that the ethnic groups in Lingnan really have no combat skills except for daring to fight for their lives. Dealing with such an enemy, if there weren't so many restrictions for that bastard, Tang Jie wouldn't have fought so hard if he said anything.

Now that the date for the retreat has been determined, Lao Tzu will not accompany him immediately, and it is indeed possible that he will not be able to survive the arrival of Tianming reinforcements if he does not take risks, so why not take a risk?!

"A complete set of rattan armor has been gathered, and there are also all kinds of crossbows, Pu knives and other things," Zhou Kang, who was busy for half a while before he could catch his breath, saluted Chen Shao and the murderous soldiers very cautiously: "Gentlemen, please!" ”

Tang Jie, who was so weak that he needed to be supported to stand firmly, also saluted solemnly.

Chen Shao and the other soldiers just nodded, did not make any other movements, and did not return the salute, and then helped each other check the armor.

The main thing is that there are no traditional nobles present, otherwise it is not such a scene, the army of the dead is not so simple, in addition to the need for the wizard to dance the "Dada" blessing, the commander also has to sing a certain poem in the "Book of Songs" as a farewell, and the talented can naturally inscribe poems in response to the occasion.

If there are traditional nobles present, if this battle is won or won by a big victory, then it will be a tragic historical chapter similar to "wind and sorrow".

It's a shame...... (To be continued......)
