Ding Yi patiently analyzed him: "You can't panic, if you go like this, the people below are very courageous, but when I see you go down at this time, my heart is also empty, they are all old soldiers, you have to trust them!" "If the war has not yet started, the propaganda department will come to cheer up, and the recruits may be stupidly incited, and the veterans will be panicked when they see it.

Whether it is propaganda work or encouraging soldiers, it has never been done without regard to the occasion, just like reciting scriptures.

In the final analysis, this thing must also be scientific, and it must be carried out according to the psychological state of the audience to be effective.

But Liu Ji really didn't have any bottom about the military aspect, and he was quite restless there, Ding Yi looked dumb and smiled, and said to him: "Okay, you go to the military household, the 1,000 regular troops who have been issued with rifles, you organize it, if it really comes to them, then you have to have the courage to line up the queue in order to shoot a salvo." "Disciple obeys!" Liu Ji took it and went in a hurry, as if he had to find something to do in order to make his heart settle down.

Ding Yi looked at Qian Chujiu on the side of Su Li, and was a little surprised: "You're not afraid?" “

Could it be that this gentleman has really grown up overnight?

Qian Chujiu was also frank, and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to hide it from the boss, last night there was a romantic night, there were Greek girls in Smyrna, there were Ottoman slave girls, and there were also girls who were said to be French...... The child has no regrets! “

Ding Yi couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, what kind of person is this@?

But at this moment, it was not easy to hit him, so he had to say to him: "Go with me." ”

He did not go to the outer edge of Smyrna, where the fortifications had already been dug up, as he had said to Liu Ji. If you go down to the front line now, you will only teach the soldiers to panic. Ding Yi just strolled down the street casually. With only a communications corpsman and a platoon of escorts, amid the roar of four-and-a-half-inch howitzer fire. Stroll through the streets of Smyrna.

Looking at the civilians peeking at the long street in panic through the crack in the door, Ding Yi walked over, pulled out the guards and said to the people: "Don't be afraid, it's our troops who are firing artillery, don't go to the street if you have nothing to do, don't worry, nothing will happen." "But it's clear that the civilians of Smyrna. They were all frightened, they couldn't believe that anyone could be under the Ottoman army and be fine.

Especially after the majestic fleet under Ding Yi left the port, they felt even more helpless.

No one was optimistic about the side of the new Roman Empire, neither the European countries nor the people of Smyrna.

Of course, if it is a naval battle, then everyone has confidence in Ding Yi, and for ten years, the name of Poseidon in the East. It was also piled up one by one by one of the battleships that were sunk. But land warfare is different, as Charlie the Bold said, no matter how awesome the fleet is, it can't be driven to land, right?

It's as easy as the Ottoman Empire. Did Pius II still need to summon the monarchs of Europe, and everyone was reluctant to attend? They are all kings of a country, and they must really be cheap. Who is left behind? This is a hard bone, everyone knows that ninety percent of them will break their teeth!

"陛xià. You're a good person. "And a woman of Smyrna bowed to Dinh through the crack in the door. "You have declared us freedmen; You came and cut your taxes; Neither do the soldiers plunder...... But, Ottomans, they are beasts! You'd better hurry up and get out of the sea......" Before she could finish speaking, she was covered in the mouth, but her husband would not allow her to continue.

"Your Majesty, she is not sensible, she is not sensible, our new Roman Empire will win!" The man of the family, swearing in the door, even made a cross on his chest and said, "God bless Rome!" But where can he hide the fear in his heart with his pretentious demeanor?

Obviously, he was afraid that Ding Yi would think his wife's words were unlucky and blame him. Yes, they think that Ding Yi is going to be finished, but Ding Yi can let their family finish before it is finished. He had to be afraid not to say something against his will.

"Don't beat your wife, at least while the city is still in Rome." Ding Yi could understand the man's thoughts, and he didn't embarrass him, but just ordered, "If she denounces you and beats her, then you will be prosecuted, and the maximum penalty can be life imprisonment." So, whatever you think about the war, at least under my rule, domestic violence is not allowed. ”

The man of the house bent down and said, "Yes, yes!" Don't dare, don't dare! ”

Ding Yi bent down and saluted the hostess in the crack of the door: "Madam, thank you for your concern." Then Ding kept getting up and said with a smile, "Please believe that the army of the Roman Empire can protect your safety." That's my promise. ”

He left with the guards, but a quarrel broke out in this family.

The hostess almost couldn't believe it, no matter how she thought Ding Yi was about to finish, after all, it was the emperor, and an emperor saluted a peasant woman like her? After she reacted, she muttered in her mouth: "Your Majesty is a good person, may God bless him!" ”

"Shut up! Idiot! The man lowered his voice and scolded his wife, "Are you going to kill us?" After the Ottomans enter the city, we may be killed by your words! Killed, you know? Together with our children! Have you forgotten how sharp the butcher's knives of the Ottomans were? ”

The hostess said with tears in her eyes: "But this majesty is the kindest righteous person I have ever seen......"

"What's the use? On the battlefield, it is iron and blood that decide victory, not the kindness of some, or some righteous person! The man reprimanded his wife impatiently, so he finally gritted his teeth and put down his fist, and when Ding was leaving, he still didn't dare not listen.

There is no shame in the fear of power.

"Well, His Majesty is a righteous man...... But listen to the sound of the cannon! Damn woman, pack up and hide in the cellar. ”

The roar of the artillery grew stronger and stronger, which made the man lose his mind to quarrel with his wife.

"Gotta bring the brown bread, you and the children go to the cellar and hide first, and I'll find something to eat." The hostess said to her husband in a loud voice amid the sound of the cannons.

"Okay, hurry up!" The terrifying sound of the cannon made the man reluctant to stay any longer, as long as he hid in the cellar, he could feel at ease.

In the midst of the gunfire, she packed up her things and handed them to her husband in the cellar, and then she said, "There is still some milk, you close the cellar, and I will fetch it!" ”

"Stupid woman! Come down! Although he was not a hero, he still worried about his wife, even though he often quarreled with her.

But she did not listen to him this time, closed the door of the cellar, took out a turban that had been washed to the point of no discernment, tied her hair up, drank half a bottle of inferior wine, closed the door of the house, and raised the pitchfork. In the terrifying sound of cannons, she slammed the door of her neighbor across the street: "Alexia! Promise me to take care of my little girl! ”

She said this to her old neighbors, and her neighbors shook their heads, "Oh God! Are you really going? ”

"You don't want to persuade me?" Despite drinking half a bottle of inferior wine, she was sane.

"No, that good man, that majesty, I also saw it in the door!" Because of the sound of cannons, they had to pull their voices.

"He saluted me! He saluted a peasant woman! If I have to go to war for the emperor, I will go for him, go for him! ”

Her neighbor opened the door with a frying pan in his hand: "Well, let's go, for the emperor!" She burped as she spoke, apparently having just drunk a lot of wine.

"For the emperor! By the way, Alexia, the emperor is very handsome. She was smiling with a pitchfork.

Her neighbor gripped the handle of the pan and burped again: "Yes, handsome emperor!" ”

The door of this street was smashed open by them many households, and their ranks gradually increased, these middle-aged peasant women with big shoulders and round waists, naturally did not have any appearance or figure, most of them were half drunk, holding farm tools or kitchen knives, walking in a messy street, in the screaming of mortars, they shouted: "For the emperor!" Hey, handsome emperor! ”

Such a ridiculous team was something that Ding Yijia had never expected.

When Ding Yi got the report, it was said that the team composed of this aunt already had hundreds of people!

Ding Yi, who was preparing to take the guards to the front line to observe the enemy's situation, rubbed his face heavily, and then made a decision:

"The ninth day of the first month! I'll leave it to you, aren't you very good at women? Isn't it to hunt for beauties from all over the world? So decided! ”

Qian Chujiu was speechless, and when he reacted, Ding Yi had already walked away with the guards, and there were only two soldiers by his side: "Shizao, Your Majesty said, if you want to go, go to the front line and charge with Commander Wen." ”

"I ...... Alas, I'm not timid to charge, life and death, we all look down on it! What are your expressions? Am I like a person who is afraid of death? But you know what? It's just that it's rare for the boss to give orders, and as a junior, you can't shirk it! Qian Chujiu shook his head helplessly, he knew that he couldn't hide, if he really didn't go, these two soldiers would definitely drag him to Wen Fatzi's side.

Ding Yi had no time to take care of the affairs of this side, he took a guard company beside him, wearing a camouflage combat uniform, and had already touched the wall of Smyrna and arrived at the artillery position. Ding Yi did not intend to place the battle site on the city wall, the fortifications were all outside the city, and the vertical and horizontal ditches and fortifications were the first line of defense.

"Is there a response from the cannon detection point on the hot air balloon?" Ding Yi asked directly to the platoon commander of the four-and-five-inch howitzer platoon.

By this time the howitzers had stopped firing, and even the mortars had stopped firing.

"The results of the battle have been confirmed, and the opponent's huge artillery has been covered by our artillery fire." However, the platoon commander of the howitzer platoon reported with an ugly face, "From the two directions of Bursa and Konya, a large number of cavalry began to assemble, and in each direction, it seems that at present, there are at least 20,000 cavalry!" (To be continued......)
