Song Dynasty

Chapter 15 Morale
"One day and one night, we only need to guard for one day and one night." The team assembled, and Wang Shen and Lu Can each stood on a chair.He put his hand on the handle of the horizontal knife and shouted loudly: "Everyone must know that my name is Wang Shen. Thanks to Lu Yuhou, I am respected. I am currently the deputy commander of the logistics battalion of the rear army and is in charge of this battle."

He sneered: "In this battle, Lu Yuhou and I will be the first soldiers, and we will live and die together with all the brothers in Paoze. However, when the ugly words come to the fore, whoever dares to take a step back in a fight, these people are your role models. Marquis Yu is generous and generous, but I, Wang, dare to kill people."

As he spoke, he pointed to the four bloody heads on the desk. No need to ask, they were of course Yi Jie and his soldiers.

Just now, Wang Shen claimed to be the new Deputy Commander of the Supply Battalion, and the soldiers felt strange.Isn't this man a refugee captured by Yi Jie? Why did he become an official in a blink of an eye?I didn't think so in my heart, but when I saw the head on the table, I felt a chill in my vest.

Everyone has seen this person's archery skills just now, it is really amazing and ruthless.Thinking that Yi Jie is Li Qiong's nephew, he usually acts like a bully and everyone fears him like a tiger.Wang Shen killed him as soon as he said he would, and even brought his own soldiers along with him.If we get into his misfortune, we won't end up much better than Yi Jie.

Wang Shen: "Do you understand?"

The tongue burst into spring thunder, everyone trembled and shouted in disorder: "Understood."

Wang Shen put his hands on his ears: "I didn't hear what you said clearly. Didn't you eat? Speak up, do you understand?"

"Understood!" This time, the voice was much louder and more orderly.

Wang Shen pointed to the sackcloth piled up next to him, and shouted: "These things are your rewards. After this battle is over, I will give you both Lu Yuhou and I, and you can take it yourself."

In the war-torn era when supplies were scarce, food and cloth were harder currencies than gold, silver and copper coins.In many places, you can't buy these things even if you have money.In the early years of the establishment of the small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the high prices, the court used food to distribute salaries to officials.Due to the financial collapse, the full amount could not be distributed, and there was even a strange incident of giving half a piece of cloth and a shoe.

In today's world, a piece of linen is enough to exchange for a big girl.

The soldiers guarding the warehouse hadn't seen their military pay for almost a year. Most of the soldiers of the Huaixi Army were with their families. If they couldn't get the money, they wouldn't go hungry.

Seeing so much cloth, everyone's eyes were red.

However, the strength of this battle is really different.Although the rewards are generous, they are still life-saving.Thinking of this, everyone hesitated.If it wasn't for Wang Shen's forceful suppression of the troops, everyone would be terrified, and the troops would have collapsed long ago.

Seeing the cold scene below, Wang Shen frowned unknowingly: "Why, you don't have the guts to accept my reward, and want to watch your wife and children starve to death? Are you still men?"

"Fuck, I haven't seen my wages for a month. People die for money, and birds die for food." At this moment, a man with the appearance of a commoner boldly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, how much can I get?" How much do you take?"

Wang Shen chuckled: "Of course, a certain person will not renege on his promise and get fat. You can take as much as you can, but you can only use your hands, and you are not allowed to use a car or a belt."

The man was overjoyed: "Of course, thank you sir, thank you sir, there is nothing to say, I leave my life to you." After finishing speaking, he rushed forward.His arms were long, and he hugged six bolts of linen with both hands.

As soon as someone started, someone shouted: "I also entrust this life to the officer, son of a bitch, hurry up, or you won't even be able to get the soup any later."

Hearing this cry, everyone woke up suddenly, and stepped forward one after another: "I am willing to fight to the death, seeing that the cold weather is coming, at least the children at home have winter clothes to keep out the cold."

"Yes, yes, afraid of a bird."

For a time, the crowd was raging.Lu Can was overjoyed: "Everyone, don't be chaotic, line up well, line up well. There are a thousand bolts of cloth, and one person can get at least five. Gu Dutou, why don't you come, but the commander who dislikes the king and my reward are not enough. Hou, can't you see it?"

Hearing his question, Wang Shen followed the voice and saw that there were several soldiers in the crowd who did not move.The leader was a short and strong man in armor, with his arms folded and his eyes piercing, with a hint of arrogance in his brows.This person has a face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is mighty.It's a pity that a scar was cut obliquely from the left forehead to the right jaw, making him look extraordinarily fierce.

Presumably this person is another head of the supply camp, surnamed Gu and named Lie.All the troops under his command have been greatly reduced in previous battles, and now they are only in their early thirties.

Gu Lie stepped forward, ignored Wang Shen, just clasped his fists at Lu Can, and said casually: "How can that be, Lu Yuhou, you know me, but if you have any money, you eat and drink, and I am so poor There are lice left. With so much cloth, I can be happy with my brothers for a few days. However, if you have a life to get money, you have to have a life to bear it. This battle, we are doomed, what do we need these dumb things?"

"That's right, what do you want these things to do? It's in the way." Several soldiers under Gu Lie also shouted.

The soldiers and peasants who were going forward to receive the reward also hesitated.

For a while, the pre-war mobilization meeting went cold.

Lu Can was furious and was about to explode.

Wang Shen grabbed his hand, signaling to calm down.

Then he nodded towards Gu Lie, grinned and said, "Gu Dutou, brothers Paozhe, I know you are all worried. That's right, the enemy army is at least [-] people, but we are in the early [-]s. Speaking of which, it's okay. Elephant is a job to die. I have never imagined that I am possessed by a god. I have imagined that one of you can be worth a hundred. With our small number of people, it is hard to say that all the balls will be dead in one day. You are going to die, I Wang People will die. You are afraid, and I, Wang, are also afraid."

Hearing him bluntly stated this matter, Lu Can next to him was shocked and couldn't help but whisper: "Dao Si."

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.

"But...but..." Wang Shen raised his voice: "But, gentlemen, don't worry, although Li Yu's bandits are powerful, I just came from there, and I know the situation of the Jinan bandits, they're just a group of beggars. It is not difficult to win him a game. Marquis Yu has sent people to Tianchang for help, and the reinforcements are expected to arrive tomorrow evening. The bandit army will arrive around tomorrow afternoon, that is to say, we only need to win for a while. Wait until our army As soon as the main force arrives, we will remove Tianchang, there will be hot water and clean quilts. One day, we only need to guard for one day.”

"I assure you, I will bring my brethren back wholeheartedly,"

Gu Lie still looked lazy and unscrupulous, but this time he turned his attention to Wang Shen: "Brother Wang, you said that as long as you win a game, the reinforcements will come, but how to win this game? Come out with a charter, so that the brothers can feel at ease. Brothers, don’t you think so?”

"That's right, that's right, what Gu Dutou said is very true." The group of soldiers under him broke out at the same time.

Wang Shen: "I have my own opinion on how to fight this battle. Someone, bring me that thing."

"Okay." An Niang's voice came from the warehouse.

Wang Shen asked Lu Can next to him in a low voice that could only be heard by two people: "Brother Ziyu, what is Gu Lie's origin?" He vaguely felt that this Gu Dutou seemed to be different from other Huaixi soldiers.

Lu Can: "Qin Fengjun, who fled from Shanxi in the second year of Jingkang, used to be the head of the infantry. Because of his bad temper and unreasonable accidents, he offended his boss and was sent to the supply camp."

Wang Shen smiled faintly: "So it's a soldier of Xiaozhong, so it's no wonder, it's a bit interesting."

Xiaozhong's Qin Fengjun is a first-class elite in the Western Army, and his eyes are higher than the top on weekdays. He is just a newcomer, and it may not be so easy to make him admire him.

A soldier came out of the warehouse and put something on the case.

Wang Shen pointed at the thing, and asked with a smile: "Gu Dutou, do you know this thing? If I equip everyone with one of these weapons, maybe I can beat Li Yu's thief for a while?"

Gu Du looked intently, and suddenly took a breath.

Surprised: "This, this...isn't this a god arm bow? There are many dismantled crossbows in the warehouse. You pretended it. How do you know this thing?"
