In a thousand words, whoever can lead everyone to victory will be the boss.
As for whether he can charge into battle, and whether he can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, it doesn't matter at all!
Ordinary soldiers just want to survive on the battlefield again and again;
Middle and low-level generals want to earn some merit and make a little fortune on the basis of surviving;
Middle and high-level generals want to be promoted and make a fortune, and they will be granted the title of marquis immediately.
The N generation directly surpassed the first two because of their background.
They just want military success.
And Gu Qingcheng's strategizing can help them achieve their goals.
Therefore, from top to bottom, in the eyes of everyone: he is as weak as the Ninth Prince, he has to ride in a carriage when traveling, and he is very particular about food and clothing... These are not problems.
As long as "he" can lead everyone to victory, ordinary soldiers can survive, middle and low-level generals can live and share the spoils of war, and N generations can realize their dreams, "he" is the best coach.
"Everyone, we have arrived in Xizhou!"
"The spies I sent to the front sent back news that there is an earthen fortress sixty or seventy miles northwest."
Gu Qingcheng opened the map and said to everyone in a dignified manner, "On the surface, this place is occupied by a group of ruthless bandits. In fact, these ruthless bandits are all Xirong's cavalry."
"They are like a pack of vicious wolves roaming around, plundering a village or harassing a border town from time to time."
"If the main force in the border city goes out to fight, they will flee. If you go back and forth like this, the border troops defending the city will be exhausted."
"This small group of cavalry may seem inconspicuous, but it has caused great trouble to the border town..."
Gu Qingcheng told all N generations in detail about the discovered situation.
After this journey of experience, there are more than thirty boys and girls, and now there are still thirty.
Those who left were mostly seriously injured and were sent back to the capital by Gu Qingcheng.
After all, he is a son of a powerful person. If he is seriously injured, he must return to Beijing to recuperate.
Gu Qingcheng didn't really have a special regard for the N generation. Ordinary soldiers who were injured could also receive the best medical treatment.
Gu Qingcheng has a principle for the N generations: they can die on the battlefield in the border town, but if they die because of the suppression of bandits, it is somewhat unacceptable.
The N generations, after fighting again and again, experienced the tempering of blood and fire such as being charged, injured, etc., and grew up rapidly.
They are no longer the ignorant, fearless and wanton arrogance they were when they first came out of Beijing.
Having seen so many deaths with their own eyes, the N generation was not afraid, but rather in awe.
People are really very fragile.
No matter whether they are powerful or untouchable, they all have to face fighting and death when they go to the battlefield.
If the blade cuts into the flesh, it will bleed and hurt.
The N generation even feels how naive they were when they were young and frivolous.
They seem to be less sharp-edged and more calm and capable.
But once on the battlefield, they will be extremely fierce.
Gu Qingcheng knew that the N generation she brought from Beijing had initially completed the transformation from playboys to warriors.
Why preliminary?
Because although they experienced death, they did not suffer too much pain - it was the bandits who died, not their companions.
When they actually have such an experience——
His companions, who ate in the same pot at night, slept in the same trench, and wore the same shirt when sleeping, died in front of him.
That kind of impact is the strongest.
Cruel, but inevitable.
Because this is the real war, not a game where a group of N generations play to gain merit.
Gu Qingcheng had a hunch that the earthen castle she chose might be able to allow the N generations to complete the second round of transformation.
The tough bandits in the castle are no longer the ordinary thieves that Gu Qingcheng used to train the N generations, but the fierce and cunning Xirong cavalry!
Although these people are only
There are more than a hundred people, but its lethality is definitely not inferior to Gu Qingcheng's army of less than 600 people.
Sure enough, when the battle started, the N generations rode horses and charged forward, followed closely by five hundred soldiers. Only one of them met, and there were casualties.
"Zheng San!!!"
The blood of his comrade spattered on his face, but he fell off the horse without making any sound.
The blood all over Li Si's body rushed up, and his face felt warm and cool.
He couldn't tell whether the liquid was his companion's blood or his own tears.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to kill those damn Xirong cavalry!
"Kill! Avenge your brothers!"
"Cui Si! Sisters, Cui Si is dead, let's avenge her!"
The N generation experienced real cruelty, and the crowd was excited and passionate.
On the battlefield, it was extremely tragic.
In fact, the N generation is okay, they have horses.
Ordinary soldiers would be miserable. Infantry is naturally at a disadvantage against cavalry.
At the end of a battle, two members of the N generation were killed and seven wounded, while one-third of the ordinary soldiers suffered casualties.
Even the bravest and most experienced Huo Wuniang had her arm scratched by a Xirong cavalryman.
"Quick! Clean the battlefield!"
"Rescue the wounded and collect the bodies!"
Gu Qingcheng held the hand of a young eunuch and slowly came to the battlefield.
That's the earthen fort.
The dilapidated earthen fortress was not very large, but there were many people or corpses lying everywhere.
There were Xirong cavalry and Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers.
A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
This is war, and there are bound to be casualties.
The previous suppression of bandits cannot be compared with real war.
This can only be felt most intuitively by standing here in person.
Gu Qingcheng issued orders one after another.
The soldiers followed the orders one after another.
Gu Qingcheng came to the two sacrificed N generations, a boy and a girl, both fifteen or sixteen years old.
He was once a young and frivolous man in bright clothes, but now he died heroically on the border of Xizhou.
"Sanlang! Zheng Sanlang, you bastard, why are you blocking my arrows! Oh, I owe you a life!"
Li Silang knelt down next to Zheng San's body, cursing, but he was crying.
When he said "I owe you a life", a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
From now on, he will be Zheng Sanlang's half-brother. He will be filial to his parents and take care of his younger sister in Zheng Sanlang's place.
When I have a son in the future, I will adopt one to Zheng Sanlang and never let him die without incense.
"Si Niang! Si Niang!!"
A dozen little girls surrounded Cui Siniang's body and cried uncontrollably.
Unlike most young girls who join the army, Cui Siniang was not born into a noble family.
Her family comes from an aristocratic family, and she grew up reading the classics of saints.
She is the most elegant among the tough little girls.
However, she is very strong at heart.
My father has been missing since I was a child, and my mother still has no son.
If my grandfather's family hadn't still had some power, their whole house would have been wiped out by the Cui clan.
Even so, the Cui family has been urging Cui Siniang's mother to adopt an heir.
Cui Siniang's mother was not willing. She had a biological daughter, so why should she pass on the family business that she and her husband had worked so hard for to an unrelated person.
Just because that person's surname is Cui and he is a man?
There was a stalemate between Cui's mother and the Cui family.
Cui Siniang is the eldest daughter. She saw with her own eyes what happened to her mother and daughter after her father died, and she felt very sad and angry.
What happened to the woman?
Could it be that the daughter is not the flesh and blood of her father, and her surname is not Cui?
If the father's property is an inherited ancestral property, it will be fine if the clan forces him to adopt an heir.
But it's not.
The father was a concubine and was kicked out early on the grounds of dividing the family.
My father was smart and hard-working, and his abilities were appreciated by a great scholar.
First he became a disciple, and then he married his husband’s beloved daughter.
With the care of his in-laws, Cui's father was good enough to buy a huge family property.
As a result, just because they had no children, the Cui family forced them to become orphans and widowers on the grounds of so-called etiquette and rules!
Why? !
Cui Siniang refused to accept it!
It happened that at this time, Gu Qingcheng created a girl soldier, and many young girls participated enthusiastically.
Cui Siniang gritted her teeth, and she, who was always elegant, also signed up.
Along the way, they exterminated bandits and hunted down bandits... Cui Siniang also transformed from a bookish daughter of a wealthy family into a brave female warrior.
I thought I could prove myself with real military exploits and protect my mother and sister, but I didn’t expect——
When Gu Qingcheng heard the cries of the little girls and thought of the gossip he heard from Huo Wuniang, he couldn't tell how he felt.
She came closer, took off her cloak, and covered Cui Siniang's body.
Seeing this, Huo Wuniang imitated her example, taking off her cloak and covering Zheng Sanlang.
"Cui Siniang bravely killed the enemy, beheaded three Xirong cavalry, and made three rounds of Ce Xun;"
"Zheng Sanlang was brave and not afraid of death. He killed two Xirong cavalrymen and made two moves!"
Gu Qingcheng said in a deep voice.
Her voice was not loud, but all the N generations present heard it.
Ce Xun?
This is a serious matter of registering military exploits and reporting them to the imperial court.
The court will provide rewards or compensation according to regulations.
That's it for Zheng Sanlang. He is a man. It is normal for him to remember his military exploits and be rewarded after his death. It is normal for Yu Yin to have relatives and relatives.
However, Cui Siniang is a woman, and she can actually do honors.
This this--
"Why not?"
A certain young lady wiped away her tears and said loudly, "Cui Si killed three Xirong cavalry! He is stronger than many men!"
"Yes! You must be able to achieve success!"
If some rotten people in the court talk about gender, let the father and brother at home spray them to death!
Today is Cui Siniang, maybe they will be the ones who die tomorrow!
They are not speaking for Cui Siniang, but for themselves!
Not to mention, the Ninth Prince is also on their side.
Didn't you hear that the person who just said "Three Transformations of Ce Xun" was the Ninth Prince.
"Don't worry, everyone, I always reward meritorious deeds during the Qing Dynasty. Among the many meritorious deeds, military exploits are especially outstanding!"
"What's wrong with the woman? If anyone says that women shouldn't do honors, then come to Xizhou yourself and kill a few Xirong cavalry to show the world!"
"He can't do it as a man, but a woman can do it, and he doesn't feel ashamed?"
If you are not as good as a human being, you have to know shame. How can you still have the face to show off?
All the little girls nodded in unison, oh, they felt more and more that the Ninth Prince was wise.
If he can become emperor, it will be a blessing for the women of Qing Dynasty...
