Chapter 653 Military Morality
Hide in the shadow in the corner of the school grounds, Xu Yuanyu secretly watches everything happening ahead.
The old man surnamed Jin who was loyal to the Marquis of Zhenxi was worthy of his name as a veteran of hundreds of battles. It was a huge project to gather the soldiers of the town to the government office in a short period of time.
Who will inform which music club, and who will lead the music club into the government office, and even the position of each music club on the school field requires meticulous coordination, but the other party actually made it within two-quarters of an hour. Keep it all organized.
But as each Qubu was led into the government office, the buzzing like flies gradually sounded in every corner of the school grounds. All kinds of discussions were raging. From the commanders of the battalions and armies to the grassroots soldiers, everyone was stealing. Whisper.
"Lao Zhou, how come your music department has been transferred back?"
A soldier's pace to rush to the front was interrupted by a familiar voice in the ranks. Looking back, he saw a soldier who had defied the iron mask and was looking at him with worry in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he stared at the opponent's iron face and hesitated for a moment:
"Are you Ai Renhua?"
"Old Chief, who else could it be besides me?" the iron-faced general replied angrily.
General Zhou glanced at the senior generals at the front and said in a low voice:
"Isn't this obvious? The entire second town should be transferred back to the government office."
The voice of the iron-faced general came out through the mask, and his worries were palpable:
"Didn't the pre-war meeting just now determine that the insect wave's first attack target will be your east city wall? If you withdraw now, who will defend the city? And along the way to this government office, my troops can see several groups of knights The group headed towards the east city wall in a mighty manner."
Zhou Xinglan stared at the other party for a few breaths:
"Just follow the orders, the general above has his own considerations."
After that, he passed the other party and continued walking towards the front.
And on this short road of only a few dozen feet, the general named Zhou heard various words that shook the morale of the army spread among the soldiers.
"Have you heard? Jiupingfang was rushed by the mob."
"That hook bar?"
"Well, the brothers over there in the sixth song said that the people inside are miserable."
"I've been to Goulan, and I actually think I'm a rough guy. I don't want to think about who will protect them from singing and dancing without me. Now that I'm gone, I can only say that I'll die."
"Okay, okay, a hook is nothing. I heard from General Zhou Ya's men that there are some large groups of knights on the east wall preparing to attack the city gate."
"The thief is so brave! But there is nothing we can do about it. Who asked us to be transferred back?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are transferred back or not. It's not like you haven't seen what happened today. It's easy to suppress these mobs. Who the **** among us can suppress those saints? I have been in the army for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have fought such an embarrassing battle. ”
"."
As soon as these words came out, the discussion suddenly fell silent, but the sudden silence here did not spread, but was infected again by the surrounding noise.
"There should be someone who can suppress that saint."
"Yes, I also heard from the people above that there are actually saints in the city, but they were unable to take action immediately out of consideration of the overall situation."
"I'm not talking about saints."
"Can you **** finish what you're saying in one go? You're hesitant to speak. Believe it or not, I'll chop you in half with a knife!"
"It's just you? You've healed the scar and forgotten the pain, right?"
"Okay, Zhang Xing, who are you talking about?" An old voice interrupted the dispute between the two.
Hearing this voice, the two angry soldiers curled their lips and said angrily:
"Didn't there be a large-scale rebellion on the east wall this morning? Dozens of arrows fired from there to suppress the army were all blocked by a female general."
"Female general? Are you kidding me?"
"Except General Wan from the first town, our Zhenxi Army should have no generals and women, right? But they have already gone on an expedition with the Marquis."
"Zhang Xing, are you thinking about women and having hallucinations?"
"Did you **** forget about the princess? She knows military formations and is a woman. Isn't there a princess in the mansion?"
"Pfft. Hahahaha."
"It made me laugh so hard, I can almost make up stories."
"Believe it or not, I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhang Xing turned away and looked up at the martial arts stage, trying to confirm whether the female general he saw this morning was the princess, but the stage was still empty at the moment.
The surrounding soldiers paid no attention to him and were discussing among themselves:
"Speaking of the princess, have you heard of that rumor?"
"What?"
"It was reported from the Xuanting Army that the princess secretly hid the desert goddess, and then was bewitched by the pretty boy from the third son of the prime minister's mansion. She was prepared to protect them regardless of the life and death of the 20,000 soldiers in our second town."
"ah?"
"It is said that the target of those saints is the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you hand over that pretty boy, they will retreat."
"Then why don't you hand the person over? The affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion have nothing to do with our Zhenxi Mansion."
"Because he didn't tell the whole story, those saints wanted to hand over the princess in addition to the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Tsk tsk. That's it. No wonder you have to stick to it."
"Liwu, what do you mean by this expression? Don't you really want to hand over the princess?"
"No, how is that possible? Princess Tianhuang, your life is so precious. The lives of us big soldiers and the millions of people in the entire city are not as valuable as others."
"One more thing, be careful of being chopped off for disturbing the morale of the army."
"Chop me? Just chop me up if you tell the truth. That's fine."
"I think Li Wu is right."
"Anyway, the Six Saints will die when they attack the city. At least choose a way to die. What scholars say, we can be regarded as clearing our minds by death."
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, many of the soldiers who had been silent suddenly spoke:
"Death to prove one's ambition? Aren't you insects just trying to incite everyone to force the princess to die for us?"
"I am following the Marquis, not that dandy princess!"
"Since you are loyal to the Marquis, you should not have any thoughts of hurting the princess."
"What Zhang Xing said before was correct. The rebellion at the West City Wall this morning was indeed resolved by the princess."
"If you're afraid of death, you're afraid of death. Why do you frame it so righteously?"
"I'm afraid of death? Did you **** forget when I blocked the knife from being stabbed through you, Zhang Xing!"
The soldier named Li Wu glared at the person in front of him and cursed sternly:
"When I was fighting for my life with those wolf cubs of Tarchao, that dandy princess was enjoying herself in Di'an City. When I was erecting the tombs of my dead brothers, she was playing with women. At this time, you asked me to fight for her. Why?! Ah? ?”
"."
"."
Li Wu's voice spread far away, and just when it was about to be drowned in the noise around him, the sound in the entire school grounds quickly fell silent like waves of wheat rolling in.
The tens of thousands of soldiers on the field subconsciously looked towards the starting point of the spread of silence.
With the midday sun behind them, two figures in heavy armor slowly walked into the wide entrance of the school grounds.
The heavy footsteps and the crisp friction of armor echoed in everyone's ears.
"clatter"
"clatter"
"Da" The index finger wrapped around his chest kept tapping his arms. Looking at her walking into the school from the shadows, Xu Yuan pursed his lips unconsciously.
Xu Yuan could hear the harsh words in the school grounds clearly, and Li Junwu, as the controller of the city defense formation, could naturally hear them more clearly.
Tianye's elusive figure suddenly appeared beside him, leaning against the shadow of the corner with him in the same cross-chest posture: "Since you don't trust her, why don't you do it yourself?"
"If I didn't trust her, I wouldn't be standing here." Xu Yuan looked back with a smile: "To say she is not smart is to compare with me."
"嘚丝."
There was a hint of disgust in Tianye's smiling eyes: "Since you're not worried about her, why are you showing such an expression?"
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, with a complicated look on his face, then he smiled and said:
"I just suddenly realized the importance of public opinion control. The reason why the Zhenxi Army was in such trouble was entirely because the public opinion channel was torn apart by the sect. After returning to Beijing, I have to pay close attention to the public opinion propaganda channel at the grassroots level. Don't take away my words from back then. The gossip has also spread to the grassroots level of the Black Scale Army."
"Duplicity."
Tianye stared at him leisurely, but did not delve into it, but followed his words and said:
"But your dandy deeds should have been spread all over the world, right?"
"It's very simple to clear my name. Just say that I was deliberately hiding my clumsiness in the past. In this way, the Black Scale Army will think that this young master is unfathomable."
"Tsk, tsk."
Tianye's clear voice was filled with a smile. His eyes passed through the layers of soldiers and fell on the woman who was constantly moving forward. He asked quietly:
"Brother Xu Yuan, how do you think your friend will handle this matter? From what I observed just now, one-third of these soldiers have the same mentality as Na Liwu."
Xu Yuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes hidden in the shadows, and whispered:
"Courage is always the rarest quality of human beings, but this quality is not lacking in the Zhenxi Army."
Tianye tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then whispered softly:
"These soldiers are like this, and you still have such a high opinion of them?"
Xu Yuan looked at the uniformed woman advancing in the procession with a smile on his lips:
"Because as Dayan's elite Zhenxi Army, it has never set up a close army to supervise the war."
Hearing this, Tianye frowned slightly, his eyes a little strange.
She didn't understand this kind of army.
Since the establishment of the martial arts hall for thousands of common people, the composition of the military resources of the Dayan Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes little by little.
From the beginning, children from aristocratic families accounted for sixty-seven out of ten people in the army, and now eighty-nine out of ten are former commoners.
This change not only did not reduce the quality of the army, on the contrary, it even brought a qualitative leap to Dayan's army, even worse than Xu Yuan's previous life.
They are all ordinary people who have chosen to join the army after many layers of screening. Most of them are brave and not afraid of death.
There is the stimulation of Dayan's military merit system, but there is also the most primitive loyalty to the person who gave him a new life.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at the rude soldier and the uniformed woman standing in front of him, and whispered:
"What they lack now is a leader who can stand up at this critical moment, whether it is for show or with true feelings, a leader who bravely and fearlessly leads these followers to continue to move forward and continue to fight.
"And now,
"Maybe this leader has emerged."
Looking at the uniformed woman standing in front of him, Liwu's cheeks twitched for a moment, but then he grinned with relief, mocking the death represented by the woman in front of him.
Li Wu did not choose to speak loudly enough for everyone to know, but smiled softly:
"Your Majesty, the princess has sacrificed my life to establish authority. I, Li Wu, can be considered as repaying the Marquis for his kindness."
Li Junwu looked at the young man with scars in front of his eyes, his slender beautiful eyes lowered slightly, and his voice was calm and slow:
"If you don't obey me, I can understand. When the Zhenxi Army was fighting on the front line, I was indeed enjoying myself in Di'an. What are the crimes of these facts? Why did I sacrifice you as a flag?"
The expression on Li Wu's face was obviously stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Li Junwu glanced at the surrounding soldiers.
In the silence, these soldiers looked at her with curiosity, confusion, ridicule, and a little respect.
The fists under his armor were slightly clenched. Li Junwu looked at Li Wu who was at a loss and said slowly:
“I stopped here just to tell you that since the moment the Zhenxi Army was established, there has never been any move to make peace.
"I just want to tell you that the purpose of the people outside the city is indeed me, Li Junwu, but it is also the entire Zhenxi Mansion, and it is also the hub of the city we are standing on now. What they want is not only my life, Li Junwu, but a life without Heir, Zhenxi Mansion is in chaos!"
The words fell,
Under Li Wu's uncertain gaze, Li Junwu slowly turned around and walked slowly towards the martial arts stage, with the veteran Jin Hengdao following closely beside him.
And her voice slowly spread to the entire school:
"I know that my ridiculous forgetfulness makes you not trust me easily. I also know that you want a leader like Princess Wuyuan more than me. I also know that you have disdain and disdain for me. Ridicule, so I now give you a choice. If you believe those words of peace, if you think this battle will be lost, I can voluntarily leave the city alone in exchange for the lives of millions of people!"
"Princess Princess."
Hearing this, the veteran Jin behind him wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Li Junwu raising his hand, and his cold voice was slow and calm:
"But I have no right to inquire about Xu Changtian in that condition, but I hope you won't touch him, because if he dies here, the retribution from the prime minister will be more terrifying than the six saints outside."
"." Some whispers spread, and chaos quietly grew in the shadows of the school grounds.
Xu Yuan glanced at Tianye beside him and whispered:
"It's time to wash the floor. Confucian scholars will definitely use parasites to cause trouble at this time."
"You know how to order me." Tianye was a little dissatisfied.
"They are all low-level cultivators, and it is not difficult. Tianyan can do it as well."
"Tsk, tsk."
Tianye clicked his tongue twice, looked at the crowd with brilliant golden eyes, and whispered one word:
"silent."
"."
The chaos of shadows stopped, and the school was silent for a moment.
At this time, Li Junwu had slowly walked to the martial arts stage, holding the handle of the knife tightly at his waist, facing the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes below:
"I know that your silence at this time is mostly due to your loyalty to your father, your fear of my identity, and your fear of the following criminals. But since no one has spoken out, you can only trust me now."
The words fell,
Xu Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows, saw determination in the slender eyes of the woman on the stage who often smiled, but her voice was still cold and hoarse:
"The Six Saints are attacking the city and rumors are spreading. At this moment, those aloof saints are jokingly watching us internally collapse outside the city.
"So now,
"I don't care whether you are afraid or not, we have no choice. Before the end of this war, many of you here will die. But once we step back, the Zhenxi Fucheng that our ancestors and their fathers built with their blood will be destroyed. The Monan Metropolitan Government established by the corpses will be destroyed in one day, just because of the fear and cowardice of their descendants!
"In the government office, form a military formation and follow military orders.
“I hereby pledge to you in the name of Zhenxi,
"Before the military formation is broken,
"Before I run out of strength"
in silence,
The skills are running, the skills are resonating, and the military formation is condensing.
The discussion in the military formation gradually spread, but was instantly cut off by a sky-grabbing sword light!
"bass-"
Li Junwu pulled out the long knife from his waist,
Stand before everyone,
The loud sound of swords swept across the school grounds with wind pressure, and a cold voice rose:
"Among the 20,000 of you, not one of you died at the hands of a saint before me!"
