You all listen to me, I will only say it once. "
After the three-way rally and the snare drum beat. At this time, there was a general in front of each team giving a pre-battle lecture.
"This time, Lord Dutong has issued an order. No matter how many casualties there are, we must attack Ma'anshan. The war supervisory team behind you are watching you. All of you are dead. Supervisory team. All of you are dead. General. If you dare, Anyone who takes one step back will be killed without mercy."
"So no matter how difficult the road ahead is, you have to finish it. If you are killed by a bomb, you will blame your life and your bad luck."
"Of course, in addition to this order, there are also benefits waiting for you. Lord Dutong said that as long as you can attack Ma'anshan, if you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver; if you kill two, you will be rewarded with twelve taels; if you kill three, you will be rewarded with 12 taels of silver. Twenty taels of silver; kill four and get thirty taels of silver...real gold and silver, no deductions."
"Then, sir, what if I can kill five or six?" After hearing that there was a generous reward for killing enemies, many of the Green Camp soldiers who were still looking bitter at first became enthusiastic.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't interrupt me, just listen to what I'm going to say next." The tame general said, mercilessly beating the green soldier who dared to interrupt him.
"Oh, okay, I know I was wrong. Sir, please continue." The green soldier quickly lowered his head, as if he knew his mistake.
"Just like this anxious little brother asked just now, what if I can kill the fifth or sixth rebel? Then the calculation will be incremented by two taels for each one I kill.
"That is to say, if you kill the fifth rebel, you will get twelve taels. Including the four you killed before, you will get a total of forty-two taels. And if you can kill the sixth rebel, , what you get is fourteen taels. Including the five you killed earlier, what you get is fifty-six taels of silver."
"In other words, the more you kill, the more you gain. If you have the ability to kill ten rebels, then congratulations to you. Mr. Dutong promises to personally report to the court and the emperor for you. I will act as a guarantor and guarantee that you will be allowed to carry the flag. From now on, you will be the bannermen."
…
As soon as the words of the admonishing general finished, the soldiers in the green camp below were in an uproar, and they immediately started talking.
"Tell me, is this true?..."
"I don't know, but it's not easy to rush up, and you have to kill so many people..."
"Didn't I just say that? If you can't rush forward, you can only blame your fate. If you rush forward, you can't kill the rebels. I can only say that you have no ability and deserve to be killed by the rebels..."
"That's right, I think these rebels are just a bunch of weaklings who hide and fire guns. The really capable people are the ones who dare to pick up a knife and fight to the death. I'll deal with the weaklings with one knife at a time..." a voice boasted.
"Just you? Come on, you can kill two at most, which means you only earn twelve taels..." Another voice struck him.
"If you have too much money, only one of you can survive. Oh, that means I will call you five taels of silver later. Liu five taels will be enough..."
"Ha ha…"
"Laugh, why are you laughing... Just wait, I want a man who can kill ten people. From now on, just wait and call me Banner Master! Hmph..."
"Okay...Okay...I'll call you the Bannerman Master now, okay! Haha..."
"Hmph..." Faced with everyone's teasing, the braggart snorted coldly.
…
It has to be said that the words of the general lecturer instantly enlivened the atmosphere.
The team, which was still lifeless at first, suddenly saw a surge in morale after hearing about the various rewards.
With the longing for rewards, the pressure of the previous war was instantly relieved. At this moment, few people cared about whether they could attack Ma'anshan, or how dangerous it was to attack. More people only care about whether they can get money and raise the flag.
Compared with the money gained from killing enemies and being able to carry the flag, being a flag bearer is really attractive to these green soldiers.
After all, as long as you can join the banner and become a bannerman, you can eat iron crops and your descendants can enjoy the benefits of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if it is just the Han military flag among the Eight Banners, with the humblest status, it is enough to make them yearn for it.
"Brother Ma, how many do you think you can kill?" He was affected by the people around him who were in high spirits and talking a lot. At this moment, Hong Zhen also asked Ma Wu emotionally.
"Brother, if it were me this morning. If you asked that, I would definitely tell you that I would kill ten. But now, I just hope that I can survive this attack on the mountain. I have already experienced I've had two brushes with death, so I don't dare to expect that my luck will be better, I just hope that my life is not destined to end." Ma Wu replied in a low voice.
"Brother Ma, are you too frustrated to say that?" Hong Zhen, who was thrown cold water on Ma Wu, said disapprovingly.
"Brother, you don't understand. If necessary, just follow me. Maybe I can save your life. Don't think about rushing forward and killing many rebels. If you can survive on the battlefield, you are a strong man." Ma Wu At this time, like a person who has seen through everything, he said instructingly.
"Same as you?..." Hong Zhen was a little confused.
But looking around, everyone was so inspired by the rewards that they felt like they were getting a shot of blood. Hong Zhen felt that Ma Wu was a little too cautious. He even felt that Ma Wu was scared out of his wits by the artillery fire.
How can these soldiers who dare not rush to kill people fight?
Hong Zhen couldn't help but think that it was too hasty to accept a weakling like Ma Wu as his elder brother. So, he moved a few steps away from Ma Wu, lest Ma Wu would hold him back when he charged, otherwise he would rush up to kill the enemy and earn the reward.
…
"Dong...dong...dong"
At this time, the sound of war drums urging the army to move forward sounded again.
No matter what the mood of the people below is, the sound of war drums means that the military order is issued and people have to move forward.
The Qing army attacking Ma'anshan this time was divided into two armies, the southwest and southeast armies, to attack at the same time.
The two Qing armies had the same thing, with the green battalions taking the lead.
Each formation of the Green Camp soldiers has about 2,000 people, divided into six formations. Each team is separated by more than ten feet and travels in separate directions.
The processions seemed to come one after another, stretching for more than a mile.
If there is a difference between the Qing armies on the southwest road and the southeast road, the main force of the southwest army behind the Green Camp troops is cavalry, with about 10,000 cavalry. Then came the armored soldiers, numbering about three thousand.
On the southeast road, on the other hand, the main force behind the green camp soldiers was armored soldiers, numbering about 7,000. There were only three thousand cavalry.
Both armies have the green battalion in front, followed by cavalry and combat supervisors, and finally armored soldiers.
The whole team lined up for nearly two miles, and everything seemed to be waiting for the green battalion soldiers as the vanguard to attack Ma'anshan and fight with those on Ma'anshan.
PS: Can you guys give me some reward tickets?
