After yesterday's battle, the morale of the Star Army has improved again. It is even higher than when they attacked Aolan Pass. However, excessive expansion will only make the soldiers complacent. Although the saying that arrogant soldiers will be defeated has not yet been verified, Lan Wu He knew that he could not let his soldiers be too pampered, otherwise over time, that kind of mentality would definitely make the Star Army develop the habit of underestimating the enemy.
Perhaps until now, many Star Army still don't understand that the reason why Feng Army was beaten by them has a lot to do with the morale of Feng Army and the commander's command ability. If the number of Feng Army is larger, the commander's ability will be stronger. , maybe they are facing another ending now.
All in all, the Star Army must not develop the habit of underestimating the enemy. It was precisely to prevent the army from being impetuous that he made the plan to send troops as soon as possible. Instead of letting the soldiers talk about how bad the enemy army was and how powerful they were all day long, he It is better to keep the soldiers in a state of preparation for war than to lead the military's morale astray.
Having said that, Lan Wu's eagerness to fight did make many star troops dissatisfied. They had just fought desperately to win a victory, and many people did not want to join the war so soon. Therefore, many people were puzzled as to why Lan Wu was so anxious. Puzzled attitude.
The dissatisfaction on the faces of those soldiers was seen by Lan Wu, but he still had to do it, and he did it personally. He seemed to be determined to change the atmosphere in the army against the will of everyone.
"The main task of our army today is to clean up the battlefield and properly dispose of all the corpses of the enemy and our troops. Tomorrow the entire army will be in formation waiting for instructions to set off." Another majestic military order was passed on. On the high platform, Lan Wu faced He said to all the soldiers expressionlessly: "If any officers and soldiers have any doubts, they can express them to me as soon as possible."
"After a quarter of an hour, all personnel will be disbanded." After assigning the affairs to the generals, Lan Wu took the chariot directly back to the city.
For him, military affairs are heavy at any time, and he must make all preparations before sending troops.
On the chariot, Lan Ze was also a little puzzled by Lan Wu's eagerness to send troops, but in fact, Lan Wu had already told him last night about choosing a day to send troops, and also mentioned some reasons for sending troops, but in Lan Ze After seeing the reactions of the generals and soldiers, he had more doubts in his heart, and he was not sure whether Lan Wu's decision was right or wrong.
Of course, no matter what, he would not doubt Lan Wu's ability. It was Lan Wu who ordered the siege without waiting for the siege equipment to be delivered. During the battle, when the generals proposed to withdraw troops, it was Lan Wu who decided to continue despite all the opinions. Siege the city, and later it turned out that there was no problem with Lan Wu's decision.
Even though he was no longer present at the scene, through the information he received from other people afterwards, he still knew how difficult it was to win yesterday's victory. If it weren't for Lan Wu, they might still be discussing how to regain their reputation in the camp before going to attack the city. .
Lan Wu's strategy is far superior to that of other generals. He has no reason to doubt Lan Wu. As for the various problems currently existing in the army, if everything is correct, Lan Wu will definitely give an explanation to the generals below before sending troops, but what exactly is it? When the time comes, and how to do it, he still needs to wait patiently.
After Lan Wu left, the generals stayed behind to handle the battlefield according to the instructions. Except for Lan Xu and a few generals, many generals gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the purpose of Lan Wu's eagerness to send troops.
While those people were speculating about Lan Wu's intentions, Lan Xu and some generals who had no objections to Lan Wu's instructions were relieved to take charge of Lan Wu's instructions. Although they also had many doubts in their hearts, for them, carrying out Lan Wu's instructions was the key to their success. Military orders are the most important thing at the moment.
Below the soldiers, there were also people whispering about the dispatch of troops. Some expressed support for it, some expressed dissatisfaction, and of course some chose to remain silent. But overall, there were many soldiers who were dissatisfied with Lan Wu's instructions for dispatching troops.
"Why don't you ask the marshal to let us rest for a few days and wait for the injured brothers to recover before setting off? Are we really in such a hurry?" At Lu Yunyou's place, a person whom Lu Yunyou didn't know well was saying with a puzzled expression. , his voice was loud, causing Lu Yunyou and others to look in his direction.
"The marshal may want to seize these cities in the west of Feng Kingdom as soon as possible, and then rob things from each city to supplement military supplies and reward us, but I heard General Li said that it will be a matter of time to capture these cities. There is no army in the west of Feng Kingdom that can stop us."
"Having said that, if we capture these cities one day earlier, wouldn't we be able to get the reward one day earlier?"
"I don't think so. The marshal has already said that the three armies will be rewarded tonight, but there is no need to send out troops today. Besides, we have been eating and drinking well in the camp all day long. Who is in a hurry to get that extra reward?"
"Does the marshal want to pursue the deserters?"
"How is that possible? We have all killed the Feng army. How could the marshal send an army to hunt down those deserters? What use would that have?"
"Yes, those deserters are running around and they don't know where they are now. We may not be able to catch them if we chase them, not to mention it will have to wait for a while."
Several soldiers were talking one sentence after another. Sometimes, Lu Yunyou would feel that what one of them said was very reasonable, but after being overturned by the people behind him, he would feel that what the people behind him said was more reasonable. For a long time, he didn't understand what was going on. He only knew that everyone was talking about why Lan Wu was in a hurry to send troops.
In fact, he was also a little confused about the troop dispatch instructions issued by Lan Wu this morning. Yesterday, they had a battle with Feng Army. There were still many people who had not had a good rest after one night, not to mention there were so many wounded soldiers in the army. Soldiers need more time to cultivate.
In addition, they had not been stationed outside Lancheng for a long time. They were tired of traveling all the way, fought a hard battle in a hurry, and then had to continue marching in the blink of an eye. Not only could they not fully enjoy the victory, but this little time was not enough for him to rest. Like many soldiers, he was not only tired physically, but also mentally.
The various recent experiences have had a great impact on him, and he has not been able to completely calm down in his heart. Now that he has received instructions to go out to fight, he is physically and mentally exhausted and always feels like he is resisting going out to fight.
While Lu Yunyou was thinking about his own problems, the people next to him were still discussing wantonly. As a result, because each of them knew too little information, the more they talked, the more questions they had. In the end, each one of them made everyone else confused, and so on. The generals took them to clean up the battlefield, and those people were still confused by the discussion just now.
There were too many 150,000 troops, and there were only a limited number of people who could really clean the battlefield. Because the city gate was only a small place, the generals directly divided the 150,000 troops into five parts after discussion, and they took turns being responsible for cleaning the battlefield. There is no requirement for efficiency. Those who want to do more can do more, and those who want to do less can be lazy.
According to Lan Wu's instructions, they only need to clear the battlefield before dark. Some generals direct the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and some generals are busy counting the clothing and weapons of the soldiers. They need to collect the information needed by each battalion and each army. The number of armor and weapons was accurately counted.
In yesterday's battle, the Star Army suffered huge losses in weapons. Fortunately, the spoils obtained from the Feng Army can replenish military requirements. Now it takes time to calculate military requirements, and it also takes time to reorganize the army, so the Star Army still has a lot to do. .
In addition, some generals were interrogating the prisoners captured yesterday, trying to extract information from those people about other armies of the Feng Kingdom.
According to the results of the torture, the remaining 200,000 troops of the Feng Kingdom have been divided into four groups and are on the way to gather at Lancheng. Once they get the news of the defeat of the defenders, several armies may change direction and march towards Feng Kingdom's Kyoto. The capital of China, Pofeng City is where Feng Jun needs to hold on.
The Star Army tortured out a lot of useful information from the prisoners, and then the people below sorted out the information and passed it all to Lan Wu.
Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon in the blink of an eye. The Star Army was burning Feng Jun's corpses. When those corpses were burned into ashes, the Star Army would bury the ashes underground, and 50,000 Feng Jun would be buried outside Aolan City.
On the battlefield, the walls and ground around the city gate were stained with blood. The Star Army simply cleaned up the blood stains. Unfortunately, it was difficult to clean up the blood stains after they dried, so there were red traces in many places inside and outside the city gate. These blood stains could only be removed when it rained. Rainwater has washed it away, and it is difficult to clean it thoroughly by manpower.
I was busy from morning to dinner in the evening, and the battlefield was finally cleaned up. During the cleaning process, the generals gathered together to discuss how to reward the soldiers. According to Lan Wu's instructions, they needed to allow each soldier to receive a certain number of souls. Stone, but the generals are still negotiating the specific distribution plan. Many generals feel that rewards should be based on military rank.
