Zhao Junchen is a man who cherishes his life. Unless it is a last resort, he would never have the courage to take risks himself. All of this is just a scene played by Zhao Junchen and Zhao Dali, and naturally he has ulterior motives.
It's a pity that Zhao Dali has only been following Zhao Junchen for a short time, and he has not yet learned Zhao Junchen's cheeky and superb acting skills, so his facial expression was quite stiff during the performance.
If it were Xu Qingyan, his performance at this time would definitely be much better, and the performance would definitely be lifelike. Unfortunately, Xu Qingyan is currently guarding Liang Fuchen and is not with Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen can only make do with Zhao Dali for the time being. .
Fortunately, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were shocked by Zhao Junchen's shocking statement and did not notice Zhao Dali's clumsy acting skills. Otherwise, Zhao Junchen's ulterior motives would have broken up the gang!
After hearing Zhao Dali's strong opposition, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo also quickly expressed their opposition.
Zhou Bo said anxiously: "The Imperial Envoy has a noble status. It is already extremely risky to stay here to observe the battle situation. How can you personally risk yourself and enter the battlefield? There are no eyes on the battlefield. The Imperial Envoy, you are now If something unexpected happens to the backbone of the soldiers on the three sides, I am afraid that the morale of the frontline soldiers will soon collapse, let alone the imperial court's future accountability... No! This is absolutely impossible! "
Wu Qifan also advised: "Yes, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! The situation on the battlefield is gradually getting better. It is not an exaggeration to say that the victory has been determined. Why do you need to do anything more? If you appear on the battlefield, the soldiers on the front line will certainly It will boost morale, but you must also allocate troops to protect your safety. The already stretched troops on the battlefield will become more and more focused on one thing and the other. On the contrary, it will increase the possibility of the Mongols successfully breaking through... I hope the imperial envoy will think twice. Then go!"
Zhao Junchen's expression was full of determination and awareness. After looking around at the people around him, he slowly said: "Do you really think that our army's victory is already determined? You don't need me to personally enter the battlefield to boost morale? You're wrong! Big mistake!" That’s wrong! In fact, our army’s battlefield situation seems optimistic, but in fact it is already full of crises!”
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Zhou Bo and Wu Qifan were stunned again.
Wu Qifan asked in astonishment: "As time goes by, our army's advantages on the battlefield will become more and more obvious... Isn't this exactly what you said just now, the imperial envoy? The official also carefully observed the changes in the battlefield situation, I also find that what the Imperial Envoy said is very reasonable. As the battlefield space gradually narrows, the Mongols are gradually exhausted, and our army is gradually gaining the upper hand. If this trend continues, our army's chances of winning are indeed very high..."
Before Wu Qifan could finish speaking, Zhao Junchen had already waved his hand and interrupted: "I did say these words, but only now and then! Haven't you, gentlemen, noticed that our army's casualties are close to 40%?"
Zhou Bo nodded and said: "The casualties on the front line are indeed a bit serious. If it were any other army, the whole army would have collapsed at this time. However, because of the imperial envoy's clever methods of boosting morale during this period, the soldiers on the front line are currently We can continue to persevere, and even become more courageous as we fight. There is nothing to worry about, and there is no need for the imperial envoy to come to the battlefield to boost morale... What's more, the casualties of the Mongolian army are not much better than our army..."
Zhao Junchen waved his hand again to interrupt Zhou Bo's statement, and said with a serious expression: "It's still wrong! Our army's casualties are far from simply losing nearly 40% of our soldiers! You have not discovered the hidden dangers in this! I Let me ask you, the total strength of our army that entered Gongchang Mansion this time is more than 60,000, what are the main components of these troops?"
Before Wu Qifan could talk to Zhou Bo, Zhao Junchen had already asked and answered himself: "These more than 60,000 soldiers and horses can be roughly divided into three parts! The first is the new army of soldiers I formed in Huamachi Camp, with a strength of 10,000 people. They have the strongest combat power, the highest morale, and the richest combat experience. They are the elite of our army;
Followed by the border troops in Guyuan Military Town, there are approximately more than 20,000 people. They have gathered all the combatable soldiers in Guyuan Military Town, and their combat power is equally impressive! In particular, most of them are natives of Shaanxi and Gansu. They have suffered from the evil deeds of the Mongols for many years. After my repeated instigation these days, their hatred has been completely aroused. Their desire to fight is the strongest. It is me. The main force of the army;
Finally, there are the Forbidden Army troops supported by the imperial court in Shaanxi and Gansu, with a strength of about 30,000. They are the largest in scale and the most well-equipped... However, the Forbidden Army has not experienced war for a long time, and has long become idle men hanging out with nobles and nobles. Where they are, you also know what their true combat power is! Moreover, most of them are not from Shaanxi and Gansu, do not have much hatred for the Mongols, and have seen a lot of people in the capital. The military reward I promised may not seduce them... It can be said that they are not only the worst in terms of combat power, but also the most powerful. Even the fighting spirit is the worst. These 30,000 soldiers and horses cannot be entrusted with important tasks, they are just used to strengthen their momentum! "
Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo are not stupid people. After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, they had vaguely guessed Zhao Junchen's worries, and their expressions changed slightly!
Zhao Junchen continued: "During this period, not only the Mongols have repeatedly divided their forces, but our army has also divided its forces many times! After retaking the Zhenning Acropolis, in order to ensure the defense of the Zhenning Acropolis, I garrisoned the Zhenning Acropolis The three thousand troops are all the elite of the new fighting army! When Fang Zhenshan led the troops to support Zhenning Guard City, he not only took away 12,000 Guyuan border troops, but also took away 3,000 new fighting soldiers!… ...In other words, although I still have more than 35,000 soldiers and horses under my command, most of them are forbidden troops that cannot be reused! The new warriors and the Guyuan frontier army can be used There are only about 10,000 people in total, and the current war is divided into two parts by the Xiaochuan River. There are only six or seven thousand combatable soldiers left on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River!"
At this point, seeing the expressions of Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo gradually turn bad, Zhao Junchen pointed to the battlefield down the mountain and asked in a cold voice: "In the current battlefield on the south bank, about seven or eight thousand people have been killed! These dead people Are there more soldiers from the frontier army who are eager to fight? Or are there more reinforcements from the Forbidden Army who lack the will to fight? And among the remaining armies, are there more soldiers from the frontier army who are brave and good at fighting? Or are there more reinforcements from the Forbidden Army that cannot be reused? ?
No need to think about it! When the Forbidden Army reinforcements join the battle, they must huddle back. Most of the soldiers rushing in front are the new soldiers and Guyuan frontier troops! Therefore, don't think that our army has only lost seven or eight thousand men, but in fact, our army's combat troops have been exhausted, and the main force on the battlefield has quietly turned into Forbidden Army reinforcements!
In the current battle situation, our army is still in an advantage, just because the Mongols are also exhausted, but the Forbidden Army is not as full of fighting spirit as the border army. They are in the battle situation and cannot keenly realize that they have become the main force on the battlefield. The injuries were getting more and more serious. They thought that their own army had gradually gained the upper hand, and they were just thinking about taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. Their fighting spirit was stronger than usual, but sooner or later they would find that the situation on the battlefield had changed. When that time came, At this time, the seemingly dominant battle situation will be reversed again at any time! "
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo's faces gradually turned pale, and they finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed: "I was originally optimistic about this war and thought that our army had a great chance of winning, but that was because our army had a huge advantage on the battlefield on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River, and its military strength was six times that of the Mongols. Many times! As long as the ambush on the north bank can promptly wipe out the Mongolian rear forces and quickly support the friendly forces on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River, our army will once again form a pincer attack situation, and the strength advantage will be consolidated again. Who knows the battle on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River? It has not ended yet, nor can we support the South Bank battlefield in time. On the contrary, the combatable troops left by our army on the South Bank have gradually been exhausted... This is one of the reasons why I want to risk entering the battlefield to boost morale and lure the enemy with my own body. 1! The army on the north bank clearly has an absolute advantage, but it has been unable to solve the Mongolian rear-end forces. Something unexpected must have happened, so I must end the war on the south bank as soon as possible to prevent accidents, and I must take a risk! The fighting spirit and morale of the Forbidden Army reinforcements can only be stimulated by me personally taking risks and joining the battlefield!"
Zhao Junchen's various reasons can be said to be very sufficient. Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo also understood the necessity of Zhao Junchen's risky actions, but they still did not dare to allow Zhao Junchen to take risks himself and enter the battlefield!
After all, Zhao Junchen's position was too important. Once an accident happened, no one could bear the responsibility.
As a result, both of them were silent for a while. They did not dare to agree with Zhao Junchen's risky approach, and they also did not know how to refute Zhao Junchen's decision.
But at this moment, Zhao Dali, who was next to him, shouted loudly again: "I still don't agree with the imperial envoy personally taking risks!"
