Summer is hot, and the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, making people feel irritable.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
On both sides of the official road, cicadas on the trees kept chirping, making people feel even more irritable. It was summer, the weather was very hot, and the soldiers heard the ups and downs of the cicadas, as if they were listening to a melodious lullaby.
He was feeling miserable, he couldn't lift up any energy, and his whole spirit was very depressed.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
On the official road, messy footsteps kept ringing.
A group of infantrymen walked slowly and kept moving forward. These soldiers were wearing black armor and swords hanging from their waists. They were exposed to the scorching sun, and their cheeks were slightly red and hot, and fine beads of sweat continued to seep out on their foreheads.
His energy level was very low, and he staggered every step he walked.
At the front of the soldiers were three generals.
Among them, the general standing on the left is riding a horse. He is wearing black chainmail and an iron helmet. He is carrying a nine-foot-long sword. He has a chin and a tiger beard. His eyes are sharp and intimidating, and he looks majestic.
This general was none other than Huang Zhong, who was serving as the vanguard.
He led the 500 vanguard troops to leave Hanzhong first and rushed to Chang'an.
There are also two generals on the right side of Huang Zhong. One of them is holding a six-foot-long mace, and the other is holding a four-foot-long sword. These two people are Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang.
The three of them were the vanguard of the Yizhou Army, each leading five hundred men, and headed for Chang'an together.
Along the way, the army encountered no obstacles and went quite smoothly.
It's just that the hot weather is unbearable.
When Zhou Cang was riding on his horse, he kept paying attention to the situation on both sides of the official road. When he saw that there were no valley roads around, he said: "Captain Huang, the weather is too hot and makes people panic. Let's rest for a while before leaving."
Huang Zhong glanced at the scorching sun above his head and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while and drink some water before leaving."
When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately shouted: "Rest where you are!"
At the command, the soldiers stopped one after another.
In the army, each company commander is responsible for more than a hundred soldiers under his command, and quickly organizes the soldiers to stop and rest. Although the soldiers are very tired, the formation of the army is not chaotic.
Since the official positions in the army go from platoon leader, company commander, and camp commander in order, with a clear system in place, there will be no generals or partial generals. Soldiers will definitely be promoted as long as they have performed meritorious services.
, can also have corresponding rights, and will not only have a name but no military power in their hands.
Therefore, although the soldiers were tired, they were still full of energy and were waiting for the next battle.
Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang also stopped and sat together to rest.
Among the soldiers, a soldier said: "Company Commander, when will you be promoted to another level and become a battalion commander?"
Hearing this, the company commander smiled and said: "If you can kill an enemy captain, you can probably be promoted. Hey, this is all for the future. Who knows what it will be like on the battlefield. You all
Give it a try, kill one enemy to become a first-level soldier, kill two enemy soldiers to become a second-level soldier... You only need to kill six enemies to reach the sixth-level soldier, and above that is the army.
The generals in the army have official positions. This is your opportunity, so you must seize it."
The soldiers nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Because of the clear rules, these soldiers all know how to ascend.
At this time, the company commander said again: "Also, those of you who are platoon leaders and squad leaders must be careful if you have not performed meritorious service. The strongest in the army are respected. If you have not killed the enemy and performed meritorious service, you must be careful."
I was overtaken by the soldiers behind me, and when the time comes, I will be overtaken by others, but other people will be officials, and you will go down and become soldiers."
After the voice fell, a platoon leader said: "General, don't worry, brothers can kill enemy soldiers, so can I. Anyway, I have killed dozens of enemy soldiers."
…
A group of soldiers sat on the ground and kept talking.
Although they were tired, their eyes were bright and their spirits were high when it came to their own achievements. Especially when Wang Can lectured the soldiers, he told them, "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers." This sentence
The words made the soldiers feel itchy in their hearts, wishing they could kill more enemy soldiers so that they could kill the enemies and achieve meritorious service.
In fact, compared with the original military system, today's military system is more precise and clear, and soldiers have more room for promotion.
Therefore, the morale of the army became stronger.
In the army, what is needed is for soldiers to be brave and not afraid of death, and to have the desire to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. Only such an army can survive tenaciously. If the soldiers have no desire to compete and think about how to survive, such an army will not have morale.
Prosperity, after all, is difficult to achieve great success, so only when an army has a desire to win can it have room for upward development.
"Da da!"
While the soldiers were talking among themselves, a scout from the front of the official road quickly ran back.
"Report!"
The scout shouted loudly, with an anxious look on his face.
When Huang Zhong saw this, he immediately picked up the nine-foot-long sword lying aside, walked up and asked, "What happened ahead?" When Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang saw the scout running back, they both picked up their weapons.
, walked up to Huang Zhong and waited for the scout to report what happened.
Although Huang Zhong let the soldiers rest, he sent out scouts in a steady stream.
The Art of War says that knowing oneself and the enemy will lead to victory in any battle. When Huang Zhong leads his troops, he must of course inquire about the news from the front. Moreover, Huang Zhong has always been cautious in using troops. The scouts sent out will also have soldiers come back every quarter of an hour to report the news, so that Huang Zhong can be in the shortest possible time.
Know what's going on ahead of you.
Once no soldiers came back for a quarter of an hour, you knew something had happened.
Therefore, Huang Zhong can make judgments based on the situation.
The soldier turned over and dismounted, saluted Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, clasped his fists and said, "The Xiliang army has been spotted in front and is rushing towards us."
"gather!"
When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately yelled.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
After giving the order, the soldiers stood up one after another. Footsteps continued to sound on the official road, and the soldiers gathered quickly. These soldiers had just rested, and there were still beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Huang Zhong waved his hand to dismiss the scouts, and said to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao: "Old Zhou, Old Pei, the Xiliang army is coming towards us, and they must want to catch us off guard. If we stay here and wait for the Xiliang army, we will definitely not
It’s appropriate, but too passive.”
He rolled his eyes and said: "Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to retreat a certain distance and look for a place with woods on both sides of the official road. You can take a few soldiers to hide in the woods on the left and right sides of the official road. I will fight with the Xiliang army.
For a while, we pretended to be defeated and led the Xiliang army back. As long as they pursue, you will immediately rush out and cut off the retreat, leaving them with no way to retreat, and then wipe out the Xiliang army completely. What do you think?"
Zhou Cang clapped his hands and said, "Well said, that's it."
