Song Zhong calmed down, considered it for a moment, and then said carefully: "General, actually I just remembered it. If I had remembered it earlier, I would have told the general!"
Li Wei immediately asked: "Then why didn't you think of it earlier?"
"Well……"
"Look, if you had thought about it earlier, wouldn't you have said it earlier? Or you're not careful enough! You must think about all the details clearly before fighting in the future. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, that's what the general criticized! My subordinates will remember it!"
Song Zhong decisively admitted his mistake.
Seeing him lower his head, Li Wei hummed slightly, then turned to the others:
"And you guys, don't think that winning this battle is so great. They are just a group of defeated soldiers. What is there to be proud of in defeating them?"
After everyone thought about it, they felt that what he said was right. Tuo Huochi and others were bent on escaping, and they were indeed a group of defeated soldiers.
"And even with such defeated troops, you were unable to eliminate them on the way to attack. If I hadn't been prepared and asked Lu Tang to deploy the flying thunder cannons, these Tatars would have definitely rushed in front of us. , even if we win by then, we will suffer heavy casualties. Tell me, can you call this a good fight?"
In fact, what Li Wei said is correct. If it weren't for the heavy damage caused by the flying thunder cannon to the Tatars, these Tatars were driven away by Mu Ying Lanyu from behind, and they could only rush over to fight them. By then, the casualties of the Shenji Battalion would have been There must be more than just the current number of people.
Of course, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion cannot be blamed for this. After all, the performance of the flintlock rifle lies here. These soldiers only received a month of training from a half-hearted military expert like him, and they were able to perform at their current level. , the key is to remain calm in the face of danger and really take advantage of firearms. This is not easy. It is impossible for non-experienced soldiers and generals to do this!
If Li Wei talked such nonsense in the past, these people would definitely cry out in their hearts without saying anything, but this time is different from the past. After this victory, Li Wei has initially established prestige in their hearts.
They achieved this victory by using these new fighting methods taught (copied) by Li Wei.
They were able to win so easily because of Li Wei's calm arrangements (who panicked) and wise command (who relied solely on blindness).
What's more, the flying thunder cannons brought by Li Wei made them even more respectful and fearful.
What is prestige? Prestige means that you can win if you listen to you, and you can survive if you listen to you. This is the most important thing. All other things about taking the lead are empty. If you can't win, no matter how much you take the lead, the soldiers will not. I am willing to follow you to death.
Today's soldiers don't have so many beliefs and beliefs. Apart from their military merits, all they want is to survive on the battlefield. Survival is the most important thing!
All prestige is accumulated in wars, under your leadership, through victory after victory and survival time after time. When this accumulation reaches a certain level, the soldiers in your hands will become braver as they fight. , the more courageous you are, the more you win, forming a virtuous cycle. On the contrary, the more you lose, the more timid you become, which is the same reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang has such great prestige in the hearts of military generals because he has accumulated victory after victory. When he defeated the many with less and the weak defeated the strong in the Battle of Poyang Lake, he has become a god in the hearts of everyone. , became the true destination of destiny, and then the Ming army swept the world with its unstoppable mighty combat power! So far, the morale of the Ming army is much stronger than that of the Bei Yuan army.
All in all, victory or defeat on the battlefield determines the hero. As long as you win, you are justified. Even if you say that shit can kill people, the soldiers will try it.
Of course Li Wei couldn't compete with Lao Zhu now, but he still had no problem suppressing everyone present. Of course, he would not let the soldiers hit people with shit. After all, victory or defeat was also related to his own life.
After everyone was scolded by him, they no longer had the excitement of victory just now. They all lowered their heads and began to carefully examine their "mistakes".
After Li Wei vented his anger, his mood finally improved a lot. Seeing them looking downcast, he felt a little unbearable.
In fact, he himself is still a bit weak. He is just a newcomer who has experienced war for the first time. None of the thousands of households under his command are better than him. If these firearms are given to these people to study for more time, then they will use them. Definitely much stronger than myself.
And if he was able to save his life this time, he must be very grateful to these soldiers for staying calm in the face of danger, fighting bravely, and not being scattered by the cavalry.
After thinking about it, Li Wei comforted him softly: "Of course, after all, your training time is still short, and it is already very good to be able to do what you are today!"
When everyone heard this, their confidence was rekindled and they looked at him with burning eyes.
Seeing this, Li Wei hurriedly said: "But ha, you must not be arrogant like this. As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated. There must be no negligence on the battlefield. Like this time, when the victory was guaranteed in the end, ten people were allowed to lose." Several brothers were injured, and this was caused by negligence!”
All the generals nodded, feeling that what the general said was true.
"But this time you were able to stay calm in the face of danger and bring out the power of the military formation I usually teach you to train to seven or eight points. This is also worthy of praise."
When the generals heard this, they were happy again and looked up at him excitedly.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, as if he had figured out something, and then said: "But, blah blah..."
The generals bowed their heads.
"But..."
The generals raised their heads again.
…
Li Wei treated him with carrots and sticks, and gave him a few words of praise and a few words of praise. These thousands of households were tortured by him, and they only felt that the general was wise and every word of advice was gold and jade!
"Well, this is what caused it. You must remember not to be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, especially to do a good post-war summary. In this way, everyone will write a 10,000-word post-war summary report for me when I go back today. In two days, Leave it to me!"
Li Wei issued the task with leadership authority.
"Ah? General, can you write less? Ten thousand words is too many!"
Sun Lei, who had the lowest level of education, complained with a grimace.
Li Wei immediately glared at him and scolded: "Is ten thousand words too much? You can't even write ten thousand words. Are you embarrassed to be a thousand households? Write, you must write!"
When Sun Lei heard this, he lowered his head in grievance.
Seeing this, several other people kept their opinions to themselves.
After a pause, Li Wei thought of those Tatars who kept killing him stupidly, and felt a little puzzled, so he asked softly: "By the way, what happened to those Tatars this time? Why do you have to hit our guns so stupidly? Won't they run away?"
Li Wei looked at Zuo Wei, who was in charge of the cavalry. Zuo Wei looked startled and then looked at Song Zhong.
These thousands of households all knew that Song Zhong had the closest relationship with Li Wei, and Song Zhong was usually the one to speak.
Song Zhong turned a blind eye to this, thinking about it, looking confused and ignorant.
Li Wei glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to look at Zuo Wei. Seeing this, Zuo Wei did not hesitate and said respectfully: "General, you don't know something. These Tatar cavalry are fleeing for their lives and are charging. The speed was very fast when they were heading towards our military camp. If we wanted to turn around, we would have to cover a long distance. The general ordered us to put out the lights and wait until they got close before suddenly shooting. By that time, the distance was already very close, and even more What’s more, General Mu and General Lan are chasing after us. It’s too late for them to slow down and turn, so they can only rush over, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.”
Li Wei suddenly realized that it turned out to be like this!
When Du Yuan next to him saw this, he seemed to have discovered Hua Dian, and immediately stood up and shouted at Zuo Wei: "Nonsense, how could the general not know anything? This is the general's test for you, do you understand?"
Zuo Wei: "..."
When Li Wei heard Du Yuan's words, he immediately realized, yes, he was just testing his subordinates, and it was definitely not because he didn't understand!
"Well, yes, that's what I meant."
Li Weitian placidly admitted it.
Zuo Wei quickly made up for his fault: "My subordinates are ignorant and failed to understand the general's profound meaning. I know my fault."
"Um."
Li Wei nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that Officer Du can see the deep meaning of this general. Just reduce your report by a thousand words. And Zuo Wei, it's also good that he can pass this general's test. Just lose a thousand words."
"Thank you General!"
Zuo Wei and Du Yuan were immediately overjoyed and thanked them in unison.
After Li Wei finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Song Zhong who looked like it had nothing to do with him, and said with a straight face: "And you, you can't even see this, add two thousand words!"
Song Zhong was confused again: "Ah? I, I..."
Song Zhong didn't know what to say for a long time. Of course he saw it. He was just pretending to be stupid because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing. In the end, Li Wei still didn't let him go. He would have said it if he had known it, even if he shot him like Du Yu did. It’s okay to be a flatterer!
"You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you can't tell, how can I entrust you with important tasks? Song Zhong, you are the person I value most. In order to promote you, I stepped on Yang Dayong. You have to work hard! You must think more about questions like these, and tell me as soon as you think clearly!"
Li Wei said earnestly, of course he asked Song Zhong to tell him earlier, just to test Song Zhong, not because he was afraid that he could not think clearly!
Yang Dayong, the deputy Qianhu at the back, immediately felt aggrieved when he heard this. He hoped that the general could replace him. For this reason, he was even willing to remove the big characters from his name.
"Well, I will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
Song Zhong agreed with a sad face. He understood what Li Wei meant, and he was also clear about Li Wei's thoughts. It was just that he couldn't get it right when he wanted to flatter him. Seeing what Li Wei meant, he couldn't do it without flattering him.
This is too difficult!
Song Zhong screamed in his heart!
But Li Wei was indeed good to him. His promotion to the rank of Thousand Households was mainly due to Li Wei's credit.
Just looking at Li Wei's appearance, he can almost predict what the future will be like. It must be reprimanding and promotion all the way. How should I put it?
It hurts and makes me happy!
I got up late from bed, so I will write another chapter in the afternoon, everyone will read it first, thank you for subscribing (シ__)シ
