"This is called attacking the heart first. Why is your heart so dirty?" Li Shiji glanced at Yu Chigong and was a little speechless. Could it be that everyone is like you and just rushes in?
Even if we can win the battle, won't the lives of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty be lost?
"Can they surrender after this?" Yu Chigong asked curiously.
"Eighty percent." Li Shiji thought for a while, "Even if they don't surrender, their morale has dropped to the point where they can't fight. By then, the sacrifices of our Tang soldiers will be greatly reduced."
"You are really confident." Yu Chigong shook his head.
"It's not that I'm confident, but His Highness told me that the thoughts of soldiers are very important. If you can let these soldiers know the righteousness and the road, the combat effectiveness they can unleash is far beyond your imagination. Can you think of a Is this an army that will never surrender even if it fights to the last man?" Li Shiji said.
"Is there such an army? If you can kill 50% of the troops without collapsing, you are considered the elite among the elite, right?" Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment.
"Ha..." Li Shiji chuckled twice without saying much. Although he had never listened to His Highness's lectures, he had read many books written by His Highness. The most important thing was that he had been exposed to the spread of His Highness's thoughts and ideas. political commissars and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who came into contact with these political commissars.
Li Shiji dared to say that there are several armies in the Tang Dynasty that can do this.
Of course, neither Li Shiji nor Yu Chigong knew what Li Ke was thinking when he took out these books.
When Li Ke taught these political commissars, he used differentiated teaching methods, which was to use some specious examples to make them believe that these things really existed, but these political commissars had no way to verify them.
After all, the flow of information in this era is too slow.
What examples did Li Ke use when teaching these political commissars?
At that time, Li Ke was referring to the example of the National Sixty Army that was responsible for the peaceful liberation of Changchun during the previous liberation war and was stationed in Changchun.
At that time, the 60th Army fought with our martyrs throughout the Northeast. It can be said that they were defeated repeatedly. They ran away when they saw each other. They had no fighting spirit. They were defeated all the time. They also stole food from the people and demolished people's houses to use as fuel. They did all kinds of things. .
But when the generals of the Sixty Army surrendered under the ideological work of our army, the entire Sixty Army was collectively reorganized into the Fifty Army of our army. The generals were still the same generals, and the soldiers were still the same soldiers.
But a year later, the Fifty Army defeated President Chang's elite head-on in western Hubei. Three years later, the Fifty Army was called the Fifty Army of the Volunteers. In the Fourth Battle of the Peninsula War, it fought alone Withstand the powerful attacks of the US First Army, the main force of the US ace.
The defense mission originally required by the headquarters to last for 10 days persisted for 50 days without leaving the position. This is an extremely critical battle.
The people are still the same people, the generals are still the same generals, but what caused this change?
"When they heard that the Tang Dynasty was going to fight Goguryeo, hundreds of thousands of people's representatives from the entire Hanhai Prefecture gathered in Hanhai City and personally requested Tian Meng, the governor of Hanhai Prefecture, to let them fight on behalf of His Highness and let them go to Goguryeo."
"When Tian Meng said that this was His Highness's order, these Hanhai Prefecture people even expressed the hope that Tian Meng could ask His Highness for orders. They were willing to come to Hanhai Prefecture to fight for His Highness."
"Do you think they will flee when they arrive at Hanhai Prefecture and how many percent of them will be killed in battle?" Li Shiji did not answer Yu Chigong's words, but asked instead.
Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment. There might be a special reason for asking for a fight alone. A village may ask for a war because they have received a favor.
When everyone in a country once asked for war, this represented an unprecedented faith.
"If His Highness is willing, the people who appear here now are not 300,000 elite Tang troops, but millions. The cavalry alone has a million Tang troops! It is still the kind of Tang army that prepares its own weapons and food, and has an extremely strong will to fight. Elite." Li Shiji said calmly.
"Hiss... no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince..." Yu Chi Gong subconsciously took a breath of cold air, but when he said this, several generals in the tent all turned their gazes over, and Yu Chi Gong turned around directly. He said, "...come here to comfort us in our battle and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
I was so scared that I almost told the truth.
Everyone else rolled their eyes and said that you and Cheng Zhijie wear the same pants and have the same temperament, but when did you see Cheng Zhijie blurting out such words? They are much more cunning than you.
"So, the Goguryeo soldiers will have no fighting momentum tomorrow. Hudar has to surrender even if he doesn't want to! If he doesn't surrender, the worst we can do is force him." Li Shiji said with a smile.
Now he suddenly liked His Highness's approach. This feeling of subduing others without fighting was so satisfying.
The point is, it doesn't matter how many enemies die, but our own sons of the Tang Dynasty can sacrifice a lot less.
In battle, even if the casualty ratio is exaggerated, we, the great Tang son, will still die!
…
"General."
In the city, Hudar was awakened by the sound of his men.
"What?" Hudar raised his head and looked at the general who came in and asked.
"More than a hundred people just died." The general paused and then said.
"Well, what's going on?" Hudar asked quickly.
"They were some soldiers who had just been a certain distance away from the Divine Thunder of the Tang Dynasty. They had nothing to do in the afternoon and no injuries. But for some reason at night, some of them suddenly began to have more severe stomach pains or vomit blood, and then they It won't work soon." The general said softly.
"There are more than 200 people with similar symptoms, but their symptoms are mild and they are fine for the time being."
"Have you seen it with the army doctor?" Hudar asked.
"Look, the doctor said it was caused by damage to their internal organs." The general said.
Hudar was a little weak. There were no injuries on the outside, but he didn't know why his internal organs were damaged? this……
"Let the doctor closely observe the soldiers near the divine thunder."
"yes!"
The whole night was silent. The next day, Hudar rested for a few hours and woke up early. He immediately went to see the injured soldiers. After seeing them, he was slightly relieved. There were no more deaths last night. .
It's just that the more than 200 people who showed up later were not in good condition, and Datang really kept his word. He actually didn't come to harass them all night, nor did he march in their direction.
Until daybreak, there seemed to be no movement in the Tang Dynasty. However, there was a curl of smoke in the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that people were cooking pots.
