Chapter 255: Big Defeat
Li Yue not only wanted to kill his people, but also wanted him to die in an upright manner.
From another perspective, Ma Chun is quite good at getting things done.
As soon as I dozed off, someone gave me a pillow. This adaptation really couldn't work without some blood embellishment. I always felt that it was lacking in weight.
Li Yue held the Huanshou knife in his right hand, took out a kitchen knife with his left hand, and looked at him coldly, "Do you know your guilt?"
Ma Chun knew that things were going to be difficult today, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he stabbed directly with the knife, "I don't accept it!"
One-on-one duel is just like fighting, the first thing is to pay attention to the momentum.
Li Yue used the power of the Lord of Black Cloud Mountain to suppress him, firmly standing on his moral principles and reputation, while Ma Chun's momentum seemed to weaken.
Although this knife was fast and cruel, it completely lost the ferocity of the past when he died with the enemy.
Without ferocity, there was no murderous intent. In Li Yue's eyes, he only felt that it was surprisingly slow and devoid of any threat.
"Death!" Li Yue shouted violently. He didn't dodge or evade, and bumped into him sideways. The long knife was placed across his right arm, and he used the power of his entire arm to block the lost momentum.
The kitchen knife in his left hand had already been prepared, and he suddenly swung it out...
Ma Chun was timid in taking action, but Li Yue moved forward without hesitation.
At that moment, Li Yue saw the desperate look in Ma Chun's eyes.
But there was no mercy in his heart, and he chopped with the kitchen knife harder and harder.
There was a "poof" sound, which was the sound of a knife cutting open the skull. Ma Chun was hit by a knife in the middle of his forehead, blood flew out, and warm blood spurted onto Li Yue's face.
Then Ma Chun fell softly.
There was silence in the military camp.
In terms of force, Ma Chun was also ranked high on Heiyun Mountain, but he was cut down to the ground in one round.
Of course, if the situation were different and there were not so many people supporting us, today would probably be a fight to the death.
But as a general, you should take advantage of the time, place, and people's support for your own benefit, so Ma Chun's defeat was not unjust.
In the silence, Li Yue glanced at everyone. In an instant, Li Yue's momentum rose from the ground, towering over everyone, even Bo Wu pales in comparison, "Ma Chun disobeys the order, I will kill him today!"
Those who follow will also be killed!"
A dozen people who followed Ma Chun to cause trouble were pushed out.
All of them were crying.
It's not that Li Yue didn't give them a chance, but it's a pity that they didn't take it seriously. If you commit an evil act committed by God, you can still violate it. If you commit an evil act by yourself, you won't be able to survive.
Military law is like a mountain and cannot tolerate any mercy, and prestige needs to be watered with blood.
More than a dozen people were sentenced to military punishment.
Killing is not the purpose, but to establish prestige.
This is what people in this world do.
"The general is mighty!" the people behind him cheered loudly.
Then everyone in the military camp also shouted: "General, you are mighty!"
Li Yue stepped on Ma Chun's body and said, "From now on, you must abide by military laws and cannot disobey them!"
"Follow the order!" Everyone subconsciously agreed.
In the past, military law was just a slogan, and not many people took it seriously. Now it has gained prestige after seeing blood.
This is the first step to strengthen the army.
After this incident, Li Yue obviously felt that everyone's respect for him had increased. No one dared to object to the adaptation, and all orders were carried out without compromise.
In the military camp, there are no more beggars, refugees, tribesmen, etc. Everyone has become a fighting soldier.
Obediently, Li Yue asked them to go east, but they would never dare to go west.
Even Wei Shan was a little polite and started calling Li Yue "general".
It sounds much more pleasant than the previous village owner.
The entire Heiyun Mountain also began to truly integrate.
After the integration, Li Yue began to eliminate the old and weak in the army.
There are only five or six thousand people in Heiyun Mountain, and the scout battalion and combat troops are nearly three thousand. This ratio is obviously wrong. Besides, there are only so many equipments on the mountain. Some people are equipped with spears, but they cannot wear armor, and some people are equipped with bows and arrows.
knife.
More people carried a stick with a piece of iron wrapped around it, which was the so-called spear.
The gray-haired old man and the half-grown child were all soldiers carrying sticks. They were the ones who suffered the most deaths in the last bloody battle with the Jie people.
Soldiers are more valuable than their numbers.
Li Yue felt really bad about letting these people go into battle to fight against the well-equipped Jie people.
Anyone over fifty and under fifteen will be laid off.
These days, ten-year-old children are going into battle to kill people with knives. Fifteen-year-old is not considered too young. Many fifteen-year-old boys have given birth to children.
If it had been before, it would have been a lot of twists and turns, but after the military camp established its authority, no one objected.
The combat troops were cut in half, leaving only more than 1,100 people.
But everyone can wear armor, and most of them are iron armor.
Each person has a spear and a ring-headed sword, and half of them are equipped with bows and arrows.
Those who were promoted to corps commanders, sergeants, and bosses were not demoted, but were trained rigorously as reserve officers.
The whole military camp started to get lively.
The soldiers wore more than fifty kilograms of armor and wielded swords and spears all day long.
Li Yue inspected the soldiers during the day, and summoned the officers at night to summarize the day's training, and then talked about everything from the Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms, the battle between Han and Hungary, to the battle of Chiguandu and the battle of Chibi.
Li Yue was also considered a fan of the puppet army in later generations. He was especially fond of ancient wars. After reading so many posts and articles, he naturally had some skills and could at least explain the causes and consequences of each war clearly.
You need to keep a certain distance from ordinary soldiers, but you also need to close the relationship with officers.
These talents are Li Yue's real strength.
"If there are any difficulties in the army, tell them all." Li Yue encouraged.
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them cupped his hands and said: "General, any military training requires flags and golden drums. The soldiers can identify their positions by looking at the flags, and advance and retreat after hearing the golden drums. Now... everything is lacking on the mountain..."
The difference between the regular army and the rabble lies in these things.
On a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, you can't just rely on shouting for everything.
Li Yue remembered that this man's name was Xu Cheng. He was two years younger than himself, less than twenty years old. He was a refugee from Yongzhou who followed Zhou Qian. During the battle of guarding the mountain, he killed three Jie soldiers and was also hit by an arrow.
He was pulled back from the gate of hell by Li Yue.
However, he was less than six feet tall and extremely ugly. He had an upturned nose, a big mouth, and slanted eyes. His face looked as if someone had pinched it in the womb.
It was precisely because of his ugly appearance that Li Yue was deeply impressed.
Those who can kill Jie people these days are all heroes, and no one cares too much about their appearance. Xu Changcheng is ugly, and the others are not very good-looking, except Cui Jin, who is good-looking.
I don’t know what happened to him in Xuanyuan Mountain. It has been seven or eight days and no news has been sent back.
But no news is the best news.
"You are right. There is no golden drum now, but the flag can be set up first. The suggestions are very useful. I will remember you for your contribution!"
Xu Cheng's face flushed, "Thank you so much, General!"
The fact that he can say this shows that he is quite familiar with military affairs.
Li Yue secretly noted this person down and trained him as a confidant in the future.
With Xu Cheng's beginning, the others talked about many problems, such as too much physical exertion, not enough meat, insufficient food, and most importantly, lack of salt...
Without salt, there is no physical strength.
The Central Plains is neither close to the sea nor to deserts. It has been short of salt since ancient times. This is why many of the private salt dealers in history were born in the Yanyu generation.
Food is also a big problem.
Although Zhao Guang's private cache of grain was seized, it only amounted to a thousand dan. The number of people on the mountain continued to increase, and the crops replanted in the fields were just pulling out.
Food for Chen Liu's begging army was delivered, but it only amounted to more than 400 dan.
For some unknown reason, Guangzong's thousand shi of food never arrived.
Guangzong was in Hebei, the heartland of the Jie people, so it was naturally impossible for him to openly send food to Heiyun Mountain. However, almost a month had passed and they still hadn't arrived. Li Yue felt that something must have happened.
