Chapter 388: Outside Xiping Mansion, Blood and Fire Baptism Training Recruits (II)
The soldiers of the Song army who surrounded the missionary envoy did not react at first.
But soon someone understood the meaning of the missionary's words, and the person who understood first immediately took the lead in raising his arms and shouting: "If you dare to fight, you may not die, and if you are afraid of war, you will not live." I'd rather die on the way to the charge than be shot in the back! ”
Don't let the back be shot, among the total 300,000 horses of the army outside Xiping Mansion today, the veterans of the former dynasty who were scattered and followed Wu Jue and other generals to the Northern Dynasty accounted for 30%.
Xikang, Shaanxi, and Dongchuan originally occupied about 20% of the grass and horse thieves who originally occupied the mountains.
The remaining half are almost all recruits who have been recruited during these months and have just been sent into the army by their wives and mothers.
Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of horns, this is an extremely vivid mantra that Liu Xing heard in the army in his previous life.
As soon as the sound of the cannonballs whistling, the recruits, who have no combat experience, will be frightened, and will choose to tremble and cower, not daring to think about attacking the enemy again.
But veterans are different, the more years they have been in the army, the more combat experience they have. With more combat experience, those veterans usually hear the whistling sound of cannonballs, and they can predict the landing point of the cannonballs. So the veterans were not afraid of artillery, but they were afraid of the sound of horns.
The reason is simple, combat experience is grown by the refinement of blood and fire.
A veteran, if he didn't see his brother die in battle, he was not a qualified veteran.
A veteran, if he does not really fight with the enemy, exchanging the blood and head of the enemy for his own survival and glory, he is not a qualified veteran.
The more qualified the veteran, the more afraid of the moment when the horn sounds. Because when the horn sounded, it was as if death was opening its arms and embracing them.
No one knows if this time, under the call of the horn, he will rush to the battlefield and come back alive. No one knows. When the trumpet sounds, you will be greeted with glory or death.
Therefore, the vast majority of veterans do not want to hear the sound of the horn, and too many of the veterans are afraid of the horn......
Human nature is inherently evil, and human nature is inherently cowardly.
No one is born unafraid of death, unless that person is missing a string in his head.
There are no natural warriors, only people whose selfishness will always dominate this life.
I know that this inferiority in human nature is deeply rooted. Now in the entire Northern Dynasties, 36 towns in seven provinces and 200,000 troops, there is a group of special groups of people and inspectors that Liu Xing attaches great importance to.
The inspection team composed of all the top students of the military academy in various places, all the high-spirited and self-motivated young people, and the inspector team composed of all the hard-working style and absolutely loyal sons and daughters is the benchmark in the army of the Northern Dynasties today, and it is also the most feared place on the battlefield for those who are afraid of the sound of artillery and the horn and want to be deserters.
Because of the excellent quality of each of these inspectors, they were selected to serve as patrol officers in the army in peacetime.
If you dare to get drunk in the camp, the inspector will be caught with a month's salary gone, and you will be punished for several days to run ten miles in full armor.
In serious cases, drunk troublemakers often go back to the small black room and the place called the confinement room by the inspection team for half a month, and they have to run for another half a month when they come out. At the same time, they will also be deducted from military pay for three months or even six months.
You dare to violate military regulations to disturb the people. That's fine. As long as you are caught by the inspection team, don't say a word, get out of the house and go home.
You dare to make bigger mistakes, such as bullying people's daughters and plundering people's property. I'm sorry, as long as he is caught, an inspector from the ninth rank can kill a chief officer on the spot.
Such an inspection team that seems to be holding a sword in his hand has already made the officers and soldiers of various armies famous and fearful on weekdays. And when the army goes to the battlefield, whoever dares to disobey the order will be tightly closed and the military stick will be tightly closed, and the heavy will be directly taken out by the inspector team and cut down.
When the army charges. Whoever dares to retreat, who dares to be a deserter. Well, the ends of the earth. As long as you can't escape from this world, Tiance Wei and Wu Yingge will work with the inspector team to arrest you and take your coward's life......
It is precisely because of the existence of such a team with excellent quality and strict law enforcement that when the first soldier who reacted and understood the meaning of the missionary envoy's words shouted, he said an extra sentence, "Don't let you be shot in the back."
Such a sentence deters the cowardly and cowardly. It also knocked a hammer into the depths of the hearts of those recruits......
In the flamboyant team, someone shouted the words "Don't let you get shot in the back".
In Liu Qi's troops, another missionary walked into the crowd of recuperating recruits and immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, do you see that? The courage of those party members and the blood of those party members are the source of their cruelty. You say. Can we make the cruel and unkind recognize each other, and continue to be strong with us before we die here? ”
"Can't, can't!"
Although the thousands of recruits did not understand how to fight on this battlefield, they all understood that to defeat the enemy, they must first overwhelm the enemy in terms of morale. Only by overwhelming the morale of the enemy army can you kill the enemy and make contributions more calmly.
Hearing the echoing sound of a coral tsunami, the missionary smiled slightly, and immediately shouted again: "Then tell me, what should we do?" ”
"Kill, kill, kill......"
"If the enemy is strong, I will be stronger, and if the enemy is weak, slaughter the lamb......"
"If you dare to fight, you may not die, and you will suppress the enemy's will with my strong soldiers!"
In the entire Xiping Mansion, outside the three city gates are now battlefields.
But when such a shout sounded, the nervous minds of those recruits suddenly relaxed a lot.
This is all because of the atmosphere on the battlefield now, which makes them feel as if this is not a war against the enemy's capital, but is being practiced in the school field outside the camp on their weekdays.
The enemies looked fierce, but in fact they were just a bunch of paper tigers, which could be broken with a single stab.
The enemies shouted loudly enough, but when they rushed over, they were not all live targets under the guns......
Battlefield point soldiers, battlefield training.
In the past, if anyone dared to say this, Liu Qi would inevitably be the first to slap him hard, and then scold him, "Arrogant, Anzhi battlefield is dangerous." ”
Use recruits as vanguards and enemies as targets.
If it was before, if anyone said such a thing, Liu Xi was ready to walk in front of him immediately and give him a hard kick in the ass. Then he wittily told him: Son, wake up! The enemy is not so weak, and our army is not so strong.
It is to play the enemy as a puppet, and kill them one after another, group after group.
This kind of thing was borrowed from Zhang Zhang in the past, and he didn't dare to think like Liu Xing as arrogant to the extreme. But now, this scene is being unthinkable before, and it is presented on the battlefield outside the east gate of Xiping Mansion. (To be continued......)
