If this were not the case, Zhu Changwu would not use these new soldiers on the battlefield, because this would be irresponsible.
He didn't pay attention to everyone's private discussions, and didn't even stop them. Zhu Changwu also knew that these were just new recruits, and it would be a waste of time to talk to them about military discipline. What he has to do now is to boost the morale of the army and give them the courage to charge with him and kill the enemy.
"Think about your family. I think they will be proud of you joining the army, but what they want to see more is that you can achieve more military exploits and take back real money. I think your relatives will be You will show off to your neighbors, and then you will become the most handsome boy on your street."
Regardless of whether the people below could fully understand what he meant, Zhu Changwu continued: "If you can kill more intruders and go back to work as part-time officials, your family will surely be proud of you. , even the important task of your family's rise will fall on you. At that time, you will definitely thank yourself for choosing to fight bravely today."
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"
"No one is born to be a general in war, and I can't guarantee that each of you will become a general in the future, or even survive today's battlefield, but what I can do is give you a chance to win the war. . Moreover, as a general, I will always charge forward. All you have to do is follow me to kill the enemy."
"If, if the battle does not go well, then I allow you to be deserters. You can throw away your weapons and run away. I will not blame you, because I don't want you to die in vain. And the twelve taels of registration fee you received before will not be used." Someone comes to you to ask for it. However, if our war situation goes well and whoever becomes a deserter out of fear at that time, I will definitely settle accounts with you in the future. Being a deserter on the battlefield is a capital crime. You can take good care of it. Think clearly."
"Okay, the army will charge soon. Do you want to get money, get military honors, and be a brave warrior who protects your home and country? Or are you a coward and a deserter, and we will come to you later to punish you and let you go?" Your family will also be humiliated with you. You can choose for yourself later. Now I will lead my soldiers as the vanguard to attack first. Warriors, I look forward to your better performance on the battlefield, and I also believe in you. They are all men, they are courageous people, and they will eventually become the winners of this just battle."
I didn’t tell you any big truths, there was no need for that. For most people who don't even know the words, there is no use in talking about it.
What Zhu Changwu needs to do is to explain the stakes to everyone, tell everyone the benefits of winning the war, and the serious punishment that may be faced if you desert.
Comparing the two, I believe that as long as there is no brain problem, you should know how to choose.
"Dragon soldiers come out!"
While many Ming army recruits were still thinking about what Zhu Changwu said, after giving the order, a team of 252 people had already strode to the front of the team.
"Reporting to the General, the Quasi-Dragon Soldier Brigade is here to report. There are actually 252 people. Please give your instructions. Deputy Commander Ji Jinkai."
The loud voice sounded. After hearing this, Zhu Changwu just glanced at him and quickly uttered four firm words - follow me.
Zhu Changwu turned around and took the lead. Just as he said to everyone, he would always rush to the front of the team, and he would set the example that a general should have.
"Everyone, line up and start, look at each other, don't fall behind."
After Zhu Changwu set out, General Wu Linzheng issued orders to his one to two to five thousand new and old Ming troops.
Wu Linzheng was the first brigade, with 15,000 soldiers; Hu Yunfeng was the second brigade, with 20,000 soldiers; Liang Jun was the commander of the third brigade, with 15,000 soldiers.
There were three brigades, a total of 50,000 old and new Ming troops. After the general gave the order, they all walked towards the battlefield holding a sword or a spear.
Emotions can be contagious, and so can the environment.
When so many Ming troops moved together, even if the steps were not so neat, there was still a feeling of rustling wind and cold water.
And everyone standing in the team was also infected by this emotion at this moment. They just felt that the blood in the whole body seemed to flow faster. Then they followed the large team and marched firmly. The pace, keep moving forward and forward again.
At this moment, no one thought about being a deserter. After all, those who could take the initiative to sign up to join the army had their own pursuits and ideals.
And before encountering a tough battle, their thoughts will not waver. They just think self-centeredly that they will definitely be able to make new achievements in this battle, and even after this battle. , Guangzong Yaozu.
Zhu Changwu indeed walked to the front, and he didn't even look back.
In this battle, he did not originally count on the Ming army behind him. Most of them were new recruits who had not even had a single drill. He should not expect to fight a tough battle with them.
It was precisely because of knowing this that Zhu Changwu decided to take the lead. He wanted to turn himself into a sharp blade. The more than two hundred quasi-dragon soldiers were sharp knives. The tip of the knife would be indestructible and harmful to all directions.
As long as their vanguard team fights well, it can bring great encouragement to the Ming army behind them. Once the battle goes smoothly, it will become smoother and smoother until the final victory is achieved.
The Ming army moved. A full 50,000 Ming troops left the city and headed straight for Marco Polo Bridge.
At this time, the Dashun Army was still completely unaware.
This is not because they are lazy, nor is it careless, nor is it arrogant, but is the result of Zhu Changwu's misdirection.
Bai Bangzheng sent news that the Ming army would only choose to attack tonight, and most of the Ming army recruits would be left in the city. When the news came, it gave all the generals of the Dashun Army a reassurance. They chose to sleep during the day and prepare for the battle at night.
The so-called war never tires of deceit!
On the battlefield, you will not believe whatever the enemy says. But the problem is that the current capital of the Ming Dynasty really has no fighting power without foreign aid. That's why when the news about Bai Bangzheng came, no one questioned him.
But they have forgotten the old saying that after seeing each other for three days, they should see each other with admiration.
It has been exactly three days since the last time the Dashun Army was defeated in the attack on the capital. Zhu Changwu is destined to frighten the Dashun Army and let them know that sometimes, the ancients do not deceive me.
The quasi-dragon soldiers led by Zhu Changwu were very fast. They originally had war horses and even carriages, in which artillery and heavy machine guns were placed, which greatly accelerated their speed.
In order to defeat the Dashun Army in one battle and completely reverse the unfavorable situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changwu also exchanged a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the system this time.
It's not much bigger than an ordinary washbasin, but it has the function of transmitting images back in real time. This is the best scout. Once it takes off, nothing within a few dozen miles can escape Zhu Changwu's observation.
Ji Jinkai and Ling Xiaoyun stood on the left and right of Zhu Changwu, looking at their general as if they were looking at heaven.
When they first saw the screen in the general's hand, they were really shocked that the surrounding environment and landforms could be displayed on it.
They didn't know where these weapons were obtained, but what they knew was that as long as the general was around, there would never be a shortage of surprises, and they would never have to worry about what tricks the enemy would play.
In fact, let alone the Dashun Army playing tricks, they simply didn't know anything. At this time, most of the army was sleeping in the camps, having sweet dreams, and preparing to accumulate strength for tonight's action.
"There is a group of intruders fifteen miles west of us. Our first target is them." The drone took off and flew forward quickly, and soon found the first enemy force to deal with.
With the goal in mind, Zhu Changwu decisively gave the order to advance, and more than two hundred horses, plus two carriages, headed straight to the southwest.
General Guoyi Wu Ruyi was one of the twenty-two generals of the fifth battalion under Li Zicheng.
At this time, he was sleeping soundly in the military tent, completely unaware that danger had begun to approach him.
Most of the 20,000 Dashun troops were still asleep like him, and only less than 500 were patrolling outside.
Considering that it was daytime, even these patrols were all listless, and there were no secret sentries.
According to the military system of the Dashun Army, even if you are responsible for patrolling during the day, you still have to participate if there is action at night. Therefore, these 500-strong patrol team would only take a moment when they get an opportunity, and the so-called patrol would be in vain.
Riding war horses, when they arrived three miles away from the enemy camp, the dragon soldiers stopped and tied their horses to tree stumps one by one. Then each soldier had excitement on his face.
After three days of intense training, these elite veterans seemed to have been transformed. Now, it's time to test their training results.
"Deal with the patrol, don't make any noise, come on!" Zhu Changwu said, already holding a Type 191 in hand and looking for a place with a wide view.
This time, he had no intention of taking action directly, he was just filling in the shots. It's just five hundred patrols, divided among the dragon soldiers. One person only needs to deal with two of them to solve the problem.
The dragon soldiers took action. In addition to the gunners and heavy machine gunners, more than two hundred other dragon soldiers were dispatched. Under the leadership of Ji Jinkai, they bent down and touched the enemy.
The Dashun Army patrols, which were completely unaware, were decreasing one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye. From start to finish, it took less than a quarter of an hour, and during this process, Zhu Changwu didn't even have a chance to make a shot.
