Chapter 13: Five Thousand Sticks
At the moment of crisis when the Dragoon Legion suffered heavy losses, Xue Wanche stepped forward alone, led the 90,000 Demon Bull Warriors of his headquarters, and captured the Xiongguan Tiger Prison in one fell swoop.
However, he also had a very serious ...... And it's also very troublesome - bad luck.
"My lord, when the two armies face off, even if you are cautious, there will inevitably be casualties. Before the start of this battle, General Xue Wanche had repeatedly restrained his subordinates, and they had to point it out, and they must not cause casualties. Many people can prove that General Xue Wanche has definitely explained it repeatedly. The more than 500 Beisui brothers who have died now have been preliminarily found to be most of them accidental deaths. Only eighty-three of them died under the sword during the battle. Among them, forty-two people also killed more than a dozen demon bull warriors. So, I think...... This is the thing...... , nor can it be considered a ...... , the fault of General Xue Wanche. Guo Zihe secretly looked at Wukong, who had a gloomy face at this time, and said cautiously.
This is the unfortunate thing on Xue Wanche's stall, in yesterday's battle of Tiger Prison Pass, a total of five hundred and thirty-five soldiers from Beisui were killed, and sixteen demon bull warriors, although Xue Wanche himself did not kill a single person, but he brought people ...... , treat Guo Jing as a serious injury!
To be honest, if he hadn't injured Guo Jing, he probably wouldn't have been in such a big trouble.
After all, when the two armies were fighting, both sides were not holding burning sticks, but magic soldiers who could easily put people to death.
Therefore, before the exercise began, the North and the South had already worked out an upper limit on the allowable death toll - 20,000!
In other words, no matter which side of the soldier dies, as long as it does not exceed this upper limit, then it is absolutely not allowed to be investigated...... , the responsibility of any military general who leads the army in battle.
20,000 sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is a very harsh number!
The upper limit of 20,000 is the common allowable death toll of the North and the South, that is, after being divided into two, in fact, each side accounts for 10,000 people.
The allowable death toll of 10,000 people, after being evenly distributed among each army and every general, is actually less than a hundred people at all.
In other words, if a military general causes more than 100 deaths during a military exercise, then it will be dealt with in accordance with the military law of ineffective command, and vice versa...... , do not assume any responsibility!
In the hands of almost every general, there are at least nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, so in the battle of tens of thousands of people, it is obviously very harsh to set the death toll at the upper limit of 100.
Xue Wanche, as one of the three major generals on the Southern Front, the Northern Sui warriors who died in the hands of the Demon Bull Warriors in the Tiger Prison Battle yesterday were actually only eighty-three, even if he added the sixteen Demon Bull Warriors he lost, there were ninety-nine people in total.
Even if you don't count the 1,000 reasonable death quota in Xue Wanche's hands, and only evaluate him according to the standards of ordinary generals, then Xue Wanche can't be held accountable at all...... , any responsibility!
Xie Yingdeng, Zhang Gongjin, and their Beisui generals, the most fundamental reason why they want to make Wukong severely punish Xue Wanche is actually just one.
In order to keep the tiger safe, Guo Jing blocked the way of Xue Wanche's attack, and was finally seriously injured by Xue Wanche and his people, and now he is ...... , still not awake!
Why did Mao Wenchen let Guo Jing command 100,000 troops to be the general of the Tiger Prison Pass General who was bound to lose, Xie Yingdeng and Zhang Gongjin didn't understand, but since Mao Wenchen sent his own son, then they must try to protect Guo Jing...... , not lose half a hair.
It's good now, after Guo Jing was stunned by Xue Wanche's ten hammers, he was directly trampled by thousands of demon cows, and he was almost like a dead man afterwards, which made Xie Yingdeng, Zhang Gongjin and their gang, how to explain to Mao Wenchen?
Therefore, in order to make their responsibilities less, they could only pull Xue Wancheqiang into the water and let him share most of the responsibility for this matter.
The reason why Guo Zihe helped Xue Wanche was actually relatively simple, it was completely because after Xue Wanche was taken up, Dou Jiande immediately took the initiative to come to the door and beg Guo Zihe for help, and he must try his best to ensure that Xue Wanche is okay.
What the two of them said, outsiders didn't know at all, anyway, the next morning, Guo Zihe was the first to stand up and help Xue Wanche exonerate himself.
What the hell is going on in this matter, in fact, everyone sitting here knows very well in their hearts, although the Pei brothers and Guo Zihe are already like fire and water, but in this matter, they did not go against Guo Zi, and also took the initiative to get up to help Xue Wanche intercede.
Then, almost all the generals on the southern front got up and unanimously went to the outside world, only blaming the death of the soldiers on the northern line Xie Yingdeng, Zhang Gongjin and others, saying that they were simply making trouble unreasonably and deliberately framing their own bull beep general Xue Wanche, hoping that Wukong would behead these shameless villains on the northern front.
Looking at the generals from the north and south who were clearly distinguishing below, holding their sleeves and arguing loudly, Wukong was really annoyed...... , the head is about to explode!
At present, the entire military exercise has entered the stage of offensive and defensive stalemate, and basically even at the end of the entire exercise, more than 500 people have died at this most stable time.
This responsibility, of course, must be ...... , to the end!
Therefore, after slowly raising his head and clapping his hands gently, Wukong looked around, and the generals of the north and south, who had all quieted down, said slowly.
"Even before the decision was made to do this, there was a lot of strong opposition from the crowd. And until now, I think, they have not changed their opposition. However, I insisted on going my own way, and I forcibly let you engage in this exercise. Is the upper limit of 20,000 allowable deaths really very reasonable? Like me, you know very well that this cruel figure is simply ...... , not at all reasonable. Frowning at this, Wukong let out a long sigh, lowered his head and groaned for a while, and then continued to speak in a deep voice.
"At the end of the day, it's not a real war at all, it's just a ...... , costly exercises. No soldier has to pay with his life for this exercise, there is no ββββ!" After shouting in extreme annoyance, Wukong clenched his fists and continued slowly.
"But...... , but at the very beginning, I recognized it...... , the formulation of the 20,000 death toll. Let's be honest...... Until now, I don't know if this exercise is worth it or not. If the final results prove that this exercise, which I decided to carry out, did not lead to anything at all. After spending so much energy, so much time, so much money, and thousands of people have died, what is the good result in the end...... , but they didn't get it. So...... , this responsibility...... , Who should carry it?" Slowly speaking of this, Wukong slowly raised his head, pointed at Guo Zihe, Pei Xingyan, and Xie Yingdeng one by one, tightened his brows and continued to say with a wry smile.
"Can you carry it? Can you carry it? Can you carry it? Can you carry it......? You can't carry it, and you don't have to carry it at all. This responsibility...... It can only be carried by me, and it must be carried by meββ! So, what are you arguing about? What is there to be noisy about? Xue Wanche stepped forward at the moment of crisis and led his troops to capture the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop, what was wrong? Guo Jing, as the supreme defender of the Tiger Prison Pass, stopped Xue Wanche's attack, what was wrong? No, they just did what they should do. Speaking of this, Wukong slowly stood up, and said slowly and calmly while lifting the helmet and armor on his body one by one.
"What will happen in the future, those brothers who have died, whether it is worth dying or not, I Du Xiaodan don't know. However, since that bullshit death cap is what I personally recognize. Then, I have to accept this false recognition...... Yesterday there were five hundred and fifty-one brothers who died, so that's all right, beat me five thousand five hundred and ten sticks, and show no mercy! From now on, there is no longer any upper limit on the number of people who can die, and if one more soldier dies...... , for the general, cut ββββ!" After a murderous roar, Wukong was only wearing a single coat, and under the stupid gaze of all the big spike generals, he walked towards the door with his back hand.
