Chapter 38

Li Xingzai was choked enough by Cheng Dalei, and he smiled awkwardly: "It seems that the big boss has any opinions?"

"In fact, the army that fights for honor is not the strongest. Cheng Dalei said casually: "A stronger army should be for faith?"

"Faith?"

An army composed of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, everyone has a common faith, and they do not hesitate to die, they are not afraid of defeat, and if one person dies, there are thousands of people, and such an army will naturally win all battles and be invincible. ”

"Is there really such an army in the world?" Li Xingzai couldn't believe it.

"Absolutely. Cheng Dalei remembered the history he knew in his previous life.

Li Xingya and Li Wan'er glanced at each other, and they were both a little shocked in their hearts. Is there really the army Cheng Dalei said in the world, and what kind of scene will such a force be when it is put into war?

Tonight, the two talked casually, chatting and chatting about a question that all famous generals have been thinking about throughout the ages:

How do you make a person willing to die?

In the battle of the age of cold weapons, you will face your enemies, with blood with bayonets, your comrades will fall beside you, internal organs will flow out of your stomach, and the next person to die can be you or anyone?

In this situation, people simply do not have time to think about the tactical moves they have mastered, and can only rely on instinct to fight. At this time, everyone will think, why on earth am I fighting?

There is only one life for anyone, and everyone wants to survive, but how can they survive? Turning around and running away, leaving the battlefield far away is almost an instinctive choice.

But once this is done, an army will become a rout, and the enemy will cut off his head like a pig, just like Blackstone City faces the toad village and is destroyed in the shortest possible time, so five people can win a thousand.

All commanders have to face this problem, the real battle is not that you wave a knife and say kill, and the soldiers will rush over like a machine, the real situation may be that you wave a knife and say kill, and the soldiers under your command have run out.

Then, every commander should think about this question: how to make your soldiers stop turning and charge, and pave a way with their own lives.

Survival, Interests, Honor, Faith...... Whether these can be real reasons.

Inside the earth house, Cheng Dalei and Li Xingya remained silent, as if they were both thinking about this issue. Li Xingya glanced at Cheng Dalei, and the other party's body was leaning against the wall, snorting and snorting......

Li Xingzai pondered in his heart: I think these things should be taken for granted, what are you thinking about as a thief?

"In fact, the army united by faith is not the strongest, the strongest army is for survival. Cheng Dalei broke the silence.

"Survival?" Li Wan'er said, "Isn't everyone a deserter?"

"But running away may not keep them alive. Cheng Dalei stretched his body slightly: "It's like the battle between the Rong clan and the empire, why can the Rong clan win many battles, but the empire has been defeated repeatedly?"

Li Xingzai is upright, this is also a problem that has plagued the empire for hundreds of years. The empire was far stronger than the Rong in terms of strength, equipment, and army organization, but it could not achieve victory in battle with a ratio of ten to one.

"What's the big boss's opinion?"

"I can't talk about it, just talk about it. Cheng Dalei was very relaxed, he asked, "Have you ever wondered why the Rong people want to invade the empire?"

"This ......" Li Xingya just wanted to speak, but found that this question was not easy to answer.

"The empire and the Rong are old enemies, they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, as long as the Rong want to invade the empire at the first opportunity, they are brutal, rude, and incivilized...... It's just a bunch of bandits. Li Wan'er interjected, and in the end, she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was also a robber, and closed her mouth in amusement.

"That being said, the empire feels that the Rong people are like demons, they have nothing to do all day long, and they want to fight the empire when they are full. Cheng Dalei shook his head: "In fact, the reason why the Rong people fought the empire was not because they were full, but because they were ...... I can't eat enough at all. ”

Li Xingzai held his breath and listened carefully to Cheng Dalei's words, every word in the mouth of this thief was like a key that opened a new world for him, making him think about those questions that he had never thought of.

"The Rong people live on the grassland, live on animal husbandry, and have natural and man-made disasters, but in fact, they have a harder time living than the people of the empire. A white-haired wind can turn the grassland into a desert, and cattle and sheep will die in large areas. On the one hand, they can't survive, and it depends on God's mood to eat the northwest wind, but on the other hand, not far from them, there is such a flowery world as the empire, where there is food, women, and silk and satin. Cheng Dalei yawned and said slowly: "What is death, anyway, returning to the grassland is also a death, so I simply tied my head to the belt of my trousers." Everyone in a unit is driven to a dead end, and in order to survive, they will naturally burst out with super combat effectiveness. ”

Li Xingzai was silent, and it took a long time before he said: "Thirty years ago, when the Rong people entered the empire, it seemed that there was a rare drought at that time, not only the Rong grassland, but also many parts of the empire. And over the years, if the year is good, the commotion on the side of the Rong people will be smaller, and if the year is bad, the scale of the Rong invasion will be larger. ”

Cheng Dalei continued: "The Rong people have the heart that everyone will die, but what are the defenders of the empire thinking? The frontier can't hold the Central Plains, and they can still run away after losing the battle. One side will starve to death if it can't fight, and the other side can't die if it escapes, so how can the empire not be defeated. Not to mention the internal causes of various intrigues in the military court. ”

Li Xingya chewed Cheng Dalei's words carefully, and suddenly received this fresh information, and he needed to digest it well. Since the founding of the empire, the Herong people have been fighting every year, but they have lost many times and won few victories.

Everyone is wondering why this is the case, but today, Cheng Dalei said a few words, but he pointed to the crux of the problem. But these words came from the mouth of a thief.

"Mr. Cheng!" Li Xingzai raised his head suddenly: "Are you willing to go back to Jingzhou with me?"

Cheng Dalei was taken aback: "What are you doing when you go back to Jingzhou?"

"Mr. has a splendid mind, hidden mountains and rivers in his belly, he really shouldn't be buried in the grass, if he goes back to Jingzhou with me, he will have a great future for him!" Li Xingzai grabbed Cheng Dalei's hand violently.

Cheng Dalei was looked at by Li Xingzai, and his heart was a little empty: This baby, could it be that he was fooled!

In the previous life, when the dormitory was talking, who didn't point out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, and the dung was the marquis of ten thousand households back then, as for whether it was right or wrong...... Hey, trolls are still responsible!

Today, Cheng Dalei also thought of where to speak, he didn't take it to heart, anyway, he didn't have to cut off his head if he said something wrong. You can see what Li Xingzai means...... It's serious.
