Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 976
The [-] troops set out from the camp in the northern suburbs, and after leaving the gate of the camp, they went east and then turned north.

The so-called 1 army does not mean that only [-] people set off, but also a mighty logistical supply, as well as a team of civilians who transport food, grass, and military equipment.

In fact, there are more civilians than soldiers. The entire team has about 3 to [-] people. The [-] army refers to those who can participate in the battle.

The army set off for a day, and they only traveled tens of miles. When it was getting dark, Li Qinzai ordered the whole army to camp by the water, and the cooks buried pots to make food.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Li Qinzai didn't have to personally arrange such detailed arrangements. The commander-in-chief strategized in the commander's tent and decided the outcome of a war.

As the lieutenant general, Wang Fangyi had full power to deal with many trivial matters.

The trilogy chose a place suitable for advancing and retreating and set up a handsome tent, and the Chinese army set up a tent around the handsome tent in the shape of a plum blossom. With the handsome tent as the center, the camps of the whole army extended along the riverside, stretching for several days. ten miles.

At the same time that the camp tent was set up, the meal was also ready. Liu Asi carried a meal into the handsome tent, and Li Qinzai leaned over to take a look.

Of course, the coach’s meals are different from those of other soldiers. Li Qinzai’s meal consists of two baked pancakes, a bowl of oily broth, a chicken leg, and a small piece of deliciously grilled lamb chop. .

It's not that Li Qinzai is extravagant. As a powerful person, such meals are just his daily operations. Liu Asi knows how tricky Wu Shaolang's mouth is. The first meal after today's departure, Liu Asi arranged it very thoughtfully .

But Li Qinzai was obviously not very satisfied.

"Do the soldiers also eat so much?" Li Qinzai asked.

Liu Asi grinned: "How is it possible? Our Tang treasury can't afford such a construction. Wu Shaolang is the commander-in-chief of the first army, so it's only natural to eat a hearty meal."

Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "Of course, the commander of the first army has to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The soldiers will use their lives in wartime. They eat wild vegetable dumplings outside, and I live in the commander's tent. Do you think it's appropriate?" ?"

Liu Asi immediately stood in awe, clasped his fists and said, "Fifth Shaolang loves soldiers like a son, and he has won the spirit of the old man leading the army. It's a villain's mistake. We shouldn't let Wu Shaolang dirty his innocence with the food. The villain Throw away the food and replace Wu Shaolang with the same food as the soldiers."

Speaking of which, Liu Ahsi picked up the food plate and was about to go out, but suddenly felt his arms tighten, and turned his head to see that Li Qinzai's hand was holding him tightly.

Liu Ah Si looked at him puzzled.

Li Qinzai sighed: "Little comrade, how can you be so impulsive in doing things? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning if you throw away a good meal?"

"Uh, Wu Shaolang means..."

"Let's put down the food. If you waste food, you will be struck by thunder. Give me another meal that is the same as that of the soldiers. I will go out and eat a few bites in front of the soldiers..."

Liu Ahsi pointed to the sumptuous meal in front of him: "This..."

"Keep this for me. It's tiring to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. This sumptuous meal will be my salary."

Liu Ahsi still blinked puzzledly.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to explain patiently: "To be handsome, one must share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but the commander of the first army must work hard and must keep up with nutrition. face……"

"Don't let others see me when I'm eating big fish and meat. When it's time to perform to share joys and sorrows, my acting skills will definitely move people to tears. I won't delay the two, understand?"

Liu Ah Si understood, and became more and more respectful: "Fifth Young Master, in this respect, the old man is not as good as you."

"Although this move is a bit teasing, it's both right and wrong, but there is no conflict between serving the country and supplementing nutrition. After fighting for a lifetime, can't you enjoy it?"

"Uh, for a lifetime..."

"Shut up, bring the same food as the soldiers, and I will go to the soldiers' camp for a while."

…………

There is one thing to say, the meals of ordinary soldiers are really unpalatable.

Two wild vegetable rice balls, a bowl of soup that smells like rags, take a sip, and you will spit out the overnight meal.

If the cook of the Li family made the food like this, Li Qinzai would probably hang him up to dry in the air, and then cut off the cook's meat to improve the food.

Li Qinzai couldn't eat anymore after one bite, no matter how superb his acting skills were, he couldn't perform to the state of feasting.

So Li Qinzai got into the camp of the soldiers with wild vegetables and rice balls in his hand.

Like all the routines of being a commander, when you enter the camp, you will chat about family affairs, gossip, boost morale by the way, and then eat rice balls in front of the soldiers to show that the commander shares weal and woe with everyone.

After going through more than a dozen tents, the rice ball in Li Qinzai's hand only suffered a little skin trauma.

I have to say that although the old-fashioned routine of making camp and chatting about homework is really effective.

People are simple these days, whether it’s acting or expressing their true feelings, the soldiers will eat this, and they like to see the coach talking and laughing with them intimately, and then take a bite of rice balls in front of them, life is complete, this coach is worthy of me Work for him.

Not only that, but Li Qinzai was also blessed with a halo. This halo is that he once led [-] Tang soldiers to destroy the Japanese kingdom.

This time I went to the Wa country again, the proper king returned, and ten thousand soldiers followed the coach, once again set foot on the land he had conquered, it was a radiant face.

In the camp, many soldiers formed a circle, and a bold inspector asked: "General Manager, when you destroyed the Japanese country, was the battle difficult? Did we suffer a lot of casualties?"

Li Qinzai looked at him with a smile: "Call General Li, or Li Shuai, and then call me Chief Manager, and I'll kill you."

The soldiers burst out laughing.

Li Qinzai paused, and then said: "To be honest, destroying the Japanese kingdom is not as difficult as I imagined, thanks to the firearms in the hands of the six thousand soldiers..."

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai pointed to dozens of three-eyed guns that were placed on the tent weapon racks. Under Li Qinzai's insistence, the ten thousand soldiers under his command held a three-eyed gun, as well as countless gunpowder, projectiles and mines, which could carry He unceremoniously took the firearm on his back.

"Don't underestimate the role of firearms on the battlefield. Compared with swords, guns, swords and halberds, firearms have crossed more than one level. In the face of those enemies with swords, guns, swords and halberds, we can completely crush them. Therefore, you must fully trust the weapons in your hands. Firearms, it won't let you down."

The soldiers nodded again and again. Before the expedition, every soldier was proficient in the use of the three-eyed gun, and since the three-eyed gun was installed in the Tang army, the soldiers have been training for firearms for two or three years.

It can be said that today's [-] soldiers are much better at marksmanship and firearm proficiency than the [-] soldiers who landed in Japan.
