The fire was extinguished, but its impact could not be eliminated in a short time. The entire camp was still filled with a strong smell of smoke.

Of course the most important thing is the losses caused.

The grain and grass in the five major grain storage areas were all burned to the ground, not counting scattered burning, which directly caused a shortage of grain and grass.

When the fire broke out, it was late at night when they were sleeping. Many soldiers had no time to escape and more than 100,000 people were burned to death.

These burned soldiers were no longer able to continue fighting, causing Liang Jun to suffer serious attrition.

A large number of tents, luggage, etc. were also burned down... It was a huge loss.

Of course, the most important thing is that the morale of the entire army is also greatly affected.

The morale built up by the increase in troops was burned away by this fire.

At the same time, various negative remarks began to circulate in the military camp.

The main problem is the damage to grain and grass.

Although the extent of the losses has not been publicly stated, no one is stupid.

Is there anything more serious than the shortage of food and grass? Is it possible to go to war on an empty stomach?

These issues were summarized and placed on Yang Shihou's desk.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer!

"Commander, we have a shortage of food and grass. Do you want to reduce the cost?"

The right deputy commander Xia Hong asked for instructions.

Reducing costs means changing the original two meals a day to one meal a day, and the supply will also be reduced accordingly.

"No less!"

Yang Shihou said: "We need to add more to feed the soldiers!"

"But if this is the case, our existing grain and grass may not be able to sustain the next supply shipment."

"That can't be reduced!"

Yang Shihou said in a deep voice: "Because we are going to attack the enemy!"

"Send the order to give the soldiers more food, and at the same time mobilize the entire army to launch an attack on the enemy tomorrow."

Hear this.

All the generals stood up.

They understood the commander's intention.

Boost morale with victory.

There is another reason that cannot be explained, war kills people.

When a person dies, there is no need to eat.

Yang Shihou also stood up.

"Our army suffered some losses due to an enemy attack the day before yesterday, but compared to the huge strength of our Liang Army, this loss is just superficial. Our army still has a strength that far exceeds that of the enemy!"

Yang Shihou took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I believe that you, like me, are filled with overwhelming anger. I hope that you can turn this anger into murderous intent!"

"Fight the enemy bravely and win!"

As expected of a handsome man, he certainly has a way of encouraging people.

These words also touched the hearts of everyone.

These twists and turns of intrusion have already made them extremely annoyed and angry. At this moment, they are focused on fighting.

yes!

What would happen even if he was attacked?

Their military strength is still far superior to that of the enemy, and they will still be overwhelming on the frontal battlefield!

"This time we will dispatch all our troops to attack the enemy, wave after wave, until the enemy is defeated!"

Yang Shihou said loudly: "We must let the enemy understand that sneak attacks and arson are just trivial actions. Victory still belongs to our Liang Army!"

"Liang Jun will win!"

"Liang Jun will win!"

A deep voice sounded in the camp!

Another pre-war mobilization begins!

In order to boost morale, Yang Shihou really showed a desperate spirit.

The soldiers thought that the food would be reduced due to the burning of the grain and grass, but they unexpectedly added more food.

This is also an unexpected surprise.

Taking advantage of this, the entire army began to refute the rumors, saying that the loss of food and grass was not significant, only small stores were burned, and that our army still had sufficient food and grass.

Looking at the fire, it turned out that only some tents were burned.

The overall principle is to avoid the important and trivial, exaggerate hatred, and arouse fighting spirit.

Yang Shihou was indeed quite good at commanding troops, and his morale was really boosted.

Of course, Liang Jun's elite soldiers are also one aspect.

These are regular troops, not civilians recruited at will.

This time Yang Shihou didn't dare to delay any longer. He knew that he would have to do it again and again, not again and again, otherwise his morale would be really hard to improve...

It's just getting light.

Liang Jun's camp was in a state of excitement.

The army has begun to gather!

The soldiers lined up neatly and walked out in front of the formation in square formations.

Nearly 800,000 troops will be dispatched this time. There should have been more, but they were unable to participate in the battle because of the heavy damage caused by a fire the day before.

But this is enough.

Pre-war preparations also take some time, and the mobilization of such a large-scale army is not an easy task.

Following the orders given at all levels, each square formation arrived at the designated position and was deployed in front of the battle line.

The battle line is so long that it is difficult to see the end at a glance.

As the saying goes, if a person passes a hundred people, the driving pillar will turn around; if a person passes a thousand, the clouds cover the sky; if a person passes ten thousand, the sky will be boundless; if a person passes a hundred thousand, the sky will be covered by clouds; if a person passes ten thousand, the sky will be boundless; if a hundred thousand people will pass, it will be a sea of ​​mountains and seas of people.

But now it’s more than 100,000!

At first glance, it is as dark as a huge dark cloud, and the dense crowds give people a sense of dizziness.

Preparations for the war are in progress.

Yang Shihou's handsome platform is in the center.

The handsome platform is made of wood. It is large in area and quite high. Standing on it, you can have an overview of the whole situation.

This is the core of the entire army.

After the war begins, all war orders will be issued from this point on.

Because the front is extremely long, in order to achieve unified mobilization.

Three battle platforms were built on the left and right sides of the commander's platform to communicate with the commander's platform and achieve the purpose of commanding the armies.

The delivery of battle orders shall be based on war drums, trumpets, trumpets, and flags.

Commanding such a large army is not easy.

This requires rich experience in command and combat. In fact, the larger the force, the more difficult it is to command.

Because it can easily cause confusion.

Once there is chaos, it will not be able to take advantage of its military strength, but will cause great trouble to itself.

There were only a handful of generals in the Liang Kingdom who could command such a large force.

Yang Shihou is one of them.

The Yang family is a family of martial arts in the Liang Kingdom, and the Yang family is a famous general, which is well-known in the Liang Kingdom.

At this moment he has ascended to the handsome stage.

There are three generals on the left and right sides of the platform, and the center platform is commanded by the left and right deputy commanders.

On the left is the left deputy commander-in-chief Zong Yuhai.

The Zong family is also a martial arts family of the Liang Kingdom, and its status is roughly the same as that of the Yang family.

Zong Yuhai was also a famous commander of the Liang Army. He went on many expeditions with Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, Zhu Wen, and made great achievements.

If Yang Shihou hadn't taken the initiative to take charge this time, Zong Yuhai would have been the commander-in-chief.
