Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 847 Not mature enough
The troops were on their way normally. From Pingyuan City to Yuancheng, the journey took almost three and a half days if the direction was clear.

However, because the soldiers and civilians who escaped from Pingyuan City had little food with them, the further back they went, the hungrier and more tired they became, and the efficiency of the entire journey also declined. This situation made them suddenly After walking for five days, we successfully arrived at Yuancheng.

In comparison, the soldiers responsible for the message were riding fast horses all the way, and their movement efficiency was much higher. Even moving from Pingyuan City to Daliang City only took four days.

In other words, almost at the same time that these soldiers and civilians fled to Yuancheng, Shi Lei, who was in Daliang City and Hehe Liancheng, had already set off with a large force.

Less than a day and a half later, a messenger with military orders arrived here with two fast horses taking turns riding day and night.

At this point in time, Yuancheng's garrison general had learned the specific situation from the Pingyuan City soldiers who had fled to his side.

At that time, the soldiers who escaped from Pingyuan City on horseback rushed to Daliang City to report. They only told them that "Pingyuan City was attacked by green-skinned monsters and has fallen." Other than that, they did not know more details. .

But now that he had learned about the tragedy in Pingyuan City, he no longer had the slightest doubt about their colonel's order.

"Pass my order and notify the entire city to begin an orderly evacuation!"

If nothing unexpected happens, Yuancheng will soon become a battlefield!

Regarding this order to evacuate, the people of Yuancheng, who had not lived a peaceful life for a few days, showed full dissatisfaction.

But Dazhou's troops had clearly told them that a war was about to begin, leaving the people of Yuancheng with no choice but to do anything.

No matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't make fun of their own lives, right?
Even to a certain extent, Zhou's troops were more conscientious by letting them evacuate before fighting.

Four days later, the large army led by Shi Lei successfully arrived in Yuancheng.

The entry of two thousand troops into the city gave the Yuancheng garrison some confidence.

After Shi Lei entered the city, the command of the Yuancheng garrison naturally fell into his hands.

"Have those green-skinned creatures been around lately?"

"Report Colonel, no show!"

After that, the garrison officer told the story about some survivors from Pingyuan City who fled to Yuancheng and were taken in and settled by them.

"According to the information provided by the brothers in Pingyuan City, they burned the map before evacuating. The green-skinned creatures on the opposite side should not know the specific location of Yuancheng."

For them, this is undoubtedly good news and can buy them more time.

After understanding the situation, Shi Lei directly called the garrison officers of Pingyuan City for questioning.

After arriving in Yuancheng, after a period of training, his entire state has improved a lot compared to the beginning, but even so, when he mentioned those green-skinned creatures, he still couldn't control his face. of fear.

Images of his comrades being eaten by the green monster flashed through his mind, causing his breathing to become rapid uncontrollably.

This situation is not normal no matter how you look at it.

"Take a deep breath, don't be nervous, you are safe." Shi Lei, aware of this, directly held the other person's hand and comforted him in a calm tone.

As a general, Shi Lei had seen similar situations in many retired soldiers.

His Majesty said that this is a mental illness. Generally speaking, soldiers who have such symptoms can no longer stay in the army.

This also put a lot of pressure on Shi Lei.

This performance of the other party undoubtedly proves in disguise how terrifying the enemy is this time!
Invisibly, his mood also began to become a little anxious.

The garrison officer in Pingyuan City didn't know if he noticed his anxiety, which made his comfort not have much effect, but made the garrison officer even more uneasy.

Shi Lei was slightly startled when he noticed this, and then something his Majesty once said to him came to mind.

"Shi Lei, remember, don't panic when you encounter anything. Even if you panic, you can only keep it in your heart and cannot show it. You are the commander of an army. If you panic, what will you do to the soldiers below? manage?"

"For the soldiers, you are their spiritual support. Only when you, the commander, remain calm and collected can the soldiers below feel at ease."

Zhou Xu's words that warned him at the beginning were echoing in Shi Lei's mind, which made Shi Lei clearly realize that he was far from mature enough.

Indeed, he had been leading the army alone for many years, integrating tribes, and later followed His Majesty to fight in the New World. He had fought many battles, large and small, and basically had no mistakes, which made His Majesty trust him very much.

But looking back carefully, it seems that he has never fought a tough battle in the true sense.

Even when Yan Sheng's large forces pressed outside Huangsha City, His Majesty was there to tell the truth.

To them, His Majesty's presence was like a needle that stabilized the sea. As long as His Majesty was around, there seemed to be nothing that could not be solved. This made him not panic at all!
It was only now that their majesty was far away in Xianyang City and could not come to support, and that they had to rely on themselves to deal with the powerful enemies that might appear at any time, did Shi Lei realize his immaturity.

Thinking of this, he himself took a deep breath and gradually returned to calm.

"I need you to provide me with some information to verify some of my guesses and analysis, so as to formulate the next plan."

At this moment, Shi Lei's voice was calm and peaceful, which made the garrison officer's eyes show a hint of surprise. Invisibly, even his emotions seemed to be affected and somewhat calmed down.

Facts have proved that just as His Majesty said, as a commander, his state can directly affect the state of the soldiers. As long as he is calm enough, the soldiers can feel at ease.

The rest of the conversation went smoothly.

Although the description of the situation by the garrison officer in front of him was basically the same as that of the soldier who brought the information before, he still had great value to Shi Lei.

From his personal point of view, no matter how many strategies he thought about in his mind, he had never really faced the green-skinned monster, so he didn't know whether these methods would work on the green-skinned monster. It worked.

Therefore, he needed a soldier who had faced the green-skinned monster head-on as a staff officer to provide him with some ideas and judgment.
