All the generals in the tent were smiling and whispering to each other about this great victory.
Lu Wu slapped his palm on the table and made a 'bang' sound, which shocked everyone and quickly stood up - some people even almost sat down on the ground.
Lu Wu went on a killing spree today, which not only frightened the enemy, but also frightened his own people - this boss was simply not human!
After a big battle, the bravest general can kill a hundred people, which is an amazing achievement. But for this boss, no one will count how many people he killed.
Just look at the five bloody paths he left behind after breaking through three military formations on the battlefield - they were all paved with flesh and blood, and the ground was soaked in blood, leaving extremely clear traces.
No matter how good the work is, there is no way to put the pieces of meat on the bloody road back into human form. Let alone the injured, it is difficult to even find a whole corpse on these five bloody roads.
If we say that the victory of this war was due to three points of the credit for the army's fighting, then the boss alone had to take seven points of the credit.
Who wouldn't be afraid when Lu Wu's face dropped?
"Why are you laughing? Do you deserve to laugh?" Lu Wu looked around and everyone bowed their heads. Lu Wu asked: "Who gave the order today and ordered the entire army to press forward and fight to the death?"
Everyone in the Chinese army's tent bowed their heads, and no one spoke.
"Qiutong, is that you?" Lu Wu asked, his voice a little softer.
"No, my sisters and I rushed out to meet you at that time. I don't know who gave the order." Qiu Tong looked confused. Just now everyone was so excited about winning the battle that no one mentioned at all who was the one who gave the order in time. Give the order and let the whole army attack.
"Captain Guo, is that you?" Lu Wu asked again.
Guo Zhongyuan was injured in the previous battle, so he was the most likely person to stay under the general's banner. If he ordered an attack, he would have some commanding talent.
Guo Zhongyuan shook his head blankly.
At that time, he was only thinking about meritorious service and atonement. Regardless of the fact that he had suffered internal injuries, he rushed out with the generals - without even seeing who gave the order for the entire army to attack.
Lu Wu frowned and asked Miao Jiusheng, the leader of the camp, "Who gave the order for your entire army to attack?"
"General, I only saw the general waving his flag forward." Miao Jiusheng replied.
Lu Wu asked several more people. Including the soldiers who were guarding the central army at the time, no one heard anyone beating drums to give orders, and no one ordered the entire army to attack.
"The person who issued this order has meritorious service and is able to make decisions on the battlefield and grasp the opportunity of fighting. He will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to a captain!"
As soon as Lu Wu finished speaking, someone behind him said, "General, it's me."
"Huh?" Lu Wu looked back and saw that it was his flag officer, Lu Gan, who was born in the Lu family.
"General, everyone rushed forward at that time, and my horse also wanted to rush out. It took a few steps forward, but I stopped it in time - uh, General, do you still have the silver reward?"
Halfway through Lu Gan's words, he realized that the expressions on Lu Wu and everyone in the tent were not right.
"——Yes, but the captain is gone." Lu Wu said angrily.
I thought I had discovered a talent, but it turned out to be a mistake.
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, and the oppressive atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent became much more relaxed.
"What happened today is my fault. I didn't designate a person to take over the command when I left the flag." Lu Wu first reflected on himself, and then glared at everyone.
"But according to military regulations, the chief general is not under the command of the deputy general."
Qiutong lowered his head. Lu Wu was nepotistic, and her deputy was her.
"The deputy general is not under the command of the captain." Guo Zhongyuan and other five captains bowed their heads.
They were all captains promoted by Lu Wu from the grassroots officers selected by the soldiers themselves. It was hard to say who had a higher status. It was hard to say who would command whom if they stayed under the general banner.
However, this is obviously not the time to accuse the general of not arranging the command sequence.
"And you, Lu Gan."
"My subordinates are here." Lu Gan hurriedly turned to the front of Lu Wu's desk and bowed in a military salute.
"How important the flag officer is, but you can't control the horses and let the whole army misunderstand!" Lu Wu said in a deep voice.
"This subordinate deserves to die!" Lu Gan cried secretly in his heart. Is the young master reluctant to part with the one thousand taels of silver?
If I had known that this money would cost my life, I shouldn’t have asked for it just now!
Lu Gan's face, which had become rosy because of the huge reward, suddenly lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned pale.
"Don't worry, in the name of today's great victory, I will spare your life and go to the military judge to get ten batons - a certain family has done a great job, and this thousand gold reward is still yours." Lu Wu waved his hand angrily.
Lu Gan breathed a sigh of relief, and the color returned to his face: "Thank you, General!"
With these one thousand taels of silver, ten blows of the military stick seemed to be nothing.
"And you, all the battalions are at attention. When you are fighting, don't you look at the situation around you? Just looking at the three-acre land in front of you, the cavalry guarding the army formation on the side are almost killed by the opponent. You We are still moving forward bravely there - if the opponent's central army had not collapsed earlier, the outcome of today's battle would have been hard to say."
If Lu Wu hadn't defeated the three military formations in the middle one after another, causing the other military formations to give up the offensive and retreat, leaving Lu Wu on the two wings, the cavalry guarding the formation would have been completely defeated by the opponent.
The infantry phalanx is usually facing the front but not the sides. If it is suddenly flanked by the cavalry, it is almost impossible to fight back. It is not surprising that the chain reaction of being hit by the "Pearl Curtain" will cause the entire army to collapse.
If the military formation on Lu Wu's side collapses before the other side, then it is still undecided who will win and who will lose in this battle. At least the other side will not lose so miserably - even though Lu Wu killed thousands of troops, most of the casualties on the other side are still It occurs when morale collapses and the entire army flees for their lives.
Those prisoners were only captured after the Chu army collapsed.
When the two armies actually faced each other, the Chu army's casualties were probably less than those of the Lu army - if you don't count the people Lu Wu killed.
No matter how strong Lu Wu is, the killing speed of one person can never be compared to the killing speed of the opponent's entire military formation.
Moreover, without the pressure exerted on the opponent by a large army, Lu Wu may not be able to kill so easily among thousands of troops - crossbows, scratching hooks, horse slings, horse poles, fishing nets, stone ropes, etc. If used properly, it can cause certain troubles to Lu Wu.
It's just that those generals have to worry about the frontal battle in front of the army, and it's not easy to randomly allocate elite personnel to stop Lu Wu, let alone adjust their formation, so they are so easily beaten to collapse by Lu Wu's attack.
"Today's victory is indeed a bit of a fluke. Think about it when you go back. Tomorrow's military meeting will summarize the experience and lessons for me. In the future, you will all lead the army on your own. But at this level, how can I safely leave my soldiers in your hands? superior?"
"A certain family hopes that all of its soldiers will have a bright future. Even if they cannot become masters, they will at least be rich. If they are all led to death by you, how can the situation of a certain family be so miserable?"
Lu Wu sighed and said.
The captains of these battalions were all promoted from among the soldiers. When Lu Wu said this, everyone was ashamed.
