Chapter 2880 Cheng Sablang, who is about to have a good time, has a good idea
This made Zhi Quan Yang Wangtian very distressed. He was not willing to lead a bunch of peasant soldiers who were not even miscellaneous soldiers.
Although the Japanese country hid its troops in farmers during peacetime, recruited them during war, and worked as farmers on weekdays, the problem was that most of the well-trained farmers and soldiers they had recruited died on the sea.
Nowadays, if you want to recruit a large number of soldiers in such a short period of time, naturally, regardless of whether they have combat experience, as long as they are alive, male, and can carry a bamboo spear, they will go to the battlefield.
Just like in this team, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people. Because they are all pure men, the group of pregnant women finally did not appear in this patchwork team.
But facing the murderous Zhongda brother, Zhongguyang Wangtian knew very well that if he dared not obey his orders.
This hysterical Chinese eldest brother will most likely chop himself into pieces with a knife, and then find someone to do it. Someone will always come here to die.
When we arrived at the Xiangyun Temple area, we found a rather long valley with dense trees in the mountains. The narrowest part of the valley was only twenty feet.
If elite troops are stationed on both sides of the valley, they only need to wait for the enemy's front troops to pass by and fight out from the mountains on both sides.
It can cut off the enemy's troops in the middle and cause chaos in their formation.
It's a pity that he only has 2,000 elite soldiers in his hands. The remaining peasant soldiers are not afraid of fighting when facing the enemy's swords and guns, and dare to stab the enemy with the bamboo spears in their hands. That is the limit.
As for how to use the two thousand elite soldiers, someone among the generals proposed that the two thousand elite soldiers should be dispersed among the peasants and soldiers, so that the old would lead the new.
In this way, it can at least boost the morale of the recruits and improve their fighting spirit. I have no doubts about this.
But in the end, five hundred elites were separated, and each of them was asked to lead twenty miscellaneous soldiers to obey orders. As for the remaining elites, five hundred generals were assigned by Zhiganyangwangtian to stand in the valley opposite.
He, on the other hand, commanded a thousand elites and stood on another side. Of course, his reason was also quite sufficient, that is, as a guard and supervisor of the battle team.
After all, these peasant soldiers don't have much courage. If a war breaks out, they will turn around and run away, even ambushing someone.
Just here, from early morning to dusk, someone finally came in a hurry to report that there was one that stretched for several miles.
I am afraid that there must be a large army of twenty to thirty thousand people coming this way, and it will take at most two quarters of an hour to arrive.
After hearing the news, the Zhiquan Yangwangtian ordered people to distribute rice dumplings stuffed with kelp silk, while loudly encouraging the peasants and soldiers.
"Listen to me, General. The enemy will be here soon. Everyone stuffs stones into their mouths, squats on the spot, and cannot move. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
"After the war begins, if anyone dares to retreat, kill him! If he stops, he will kill..."
"If you kill an enemy, you can get a dou of rice. If you kill an enemy general, you can get a dou of rice. If you win this battle, you will all be rewarded. You will get a piece of cloth and a dou of rice..."
This group of peasants and soldiers, who had turned their backs to the loess and faced the sky all day long, and who still had not enough to eat after a year of hard work, heard this.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he wolfed down the rice dumplings in three or five mouthfuls.
He tightened his grip on the long bamboo spear made of moso bamboo in his hand. This thing was related to the lifeblood of his family...
Even if he died, he would have to kill a few enemy soldiers and earn some food for his family before he died.

Jin Yuxin marched in the middle of the army, with 30,000 Silla elites, stretching for several miles, and the terrain of this Japanese island was mountainous, with few plains.
The large army could only move through these valleys with difficulty.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any unobtrusive Japanese attacks along the way. According to the guide, if we walk for two days, we can completely leave this mountainous area and enter the vast plain where Asuka Castle is located.
However, the closer he got to leaving the mountainous area, the more vigilant Jin Yuxin became.
The speed of the army was much slower than when it first entered the mountainous area. In front, there were more than ten cavalrymen clearing the way for the advancers.
Once something strange is detected ahead, a signal will be sent.
But today, we have been marching for a whole day, and except for a false alarm caused by a few wild beasts walking through the forest in the morning, it has been very safe.
Zhi Quan Yang Wang Tian was now hiding behind a big tree, looking at the dozen or so cavalrymen with vigilant eyes. These cavalrymen were walking slowly, looking here and there at the hillsides on both sides.
Fortunately, those peasants and soldiers had stone in their mouths, and they did not dare to move due to the vicious threats before. Finally, they went straight forward without being noticed by the group of scouts and cavalry.
A hundred steps behind them, there was the vanguard of this army, several people in a row, striding towards this side carrying their own weapons.
Seeing this scene, Zhi Quan Yang Wang Tian's big hand has been gently placed on the handle of the knife, his eyes fixed on the slowly advancing army, and then continued to move forward in the valley in front of him.
Zhi Quan Yang Wangtian watched silently, waiting for the best opportunity, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of something deflating.
Then a stench suddenly drifted from a not-so-distant place, making it nauseating.
As a general, he had a strong will and did not vomit, but others did not have such good determination and just vomited it out.
Just this moment instantly alerted the enemy soldiers who were walking below.
At this moment, Zhi Quan Yang Wang Tian, who was in an extremely depressed mood, pulled out the sword at his waist and roared to the sky: "Kill the chicken for me..."
In an instant, the Silla army, which was alarmed by the strange noise just now, saw the hillside covered with trees on both sides.
Thousands of ragged dwarfs rushed out, and green stick-like objects rushed toward them standing in the valley...

Cheng Sanlang, who had no martial ethics and let the Silla soldiers and horses set off early, waited until the fifty cannons hung from the battleships were installed and fixed on the vehicles and carried enough ammunition.
Leaving the defense of the dock area to the naval officers, Cheng Chubi finally announced the expedition.
From the very beginning, Cheng Chubi was certain that the Japanese would never surrender. After all, these Japanese, who had been doing well in their childhood, had always been those who would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the Celestial Kingdom’s army, one must have a high profile, and one must be courteous before attacking, to avoid being taken advantage of by others, and at least leave room for quibbles for oneself.
Although Cheng Sanlang knew very well that many of his operations in the Japanese country might become a source of leverage in the eyes of the censors who were trying to find faults.
But Cheng Chubi felt that only he could understand the consequences of these things.
As long as we can get rid of this ambitious country in this era, at least we can have clear ideas and enjoy ourselves.
