Chapter 244 Boosting Morale
Under Liang Xiaoyong's sharp eyes, everyone became nervous for a while, and naturally stood in line with their heads held high, and their morale was boosted. In fact, they are all elites in the Xingtian Army, and they all have a tenacious will to fight. They walked all the way before
He also performed well and had strict military discipline.
But when Liang Xiaoyong faced the enemies rushing out of the city just now, he behaved very abnormally. He didn't even have the intention of fighting, and he actually ran away first. This had a huge impact on their confidence, and it was natural for them to muddle along.
Thoughts about the day, just now Liang Xiaoyong asked everyone to disperse and escape, but some soldiers who were not determined actually ran away.
After Liang Xiao glanced back and forth twice, he suddenly relaxed and smiled again. He patted the front soldier on the shoulder and asked: "I have a question for you. Do you want to fight next or do you want to hide with makeup like them to save your life?"
"Sir, I don't want to die, but I don't want to be a coward either." The veteran replied, and everyone nodded. After some contact, they also found that Liang Xiaoyong was different from those traditional generals. He was more humane, easy-going, and sincere.
friends, so they don't shy away from their true thoughts at this moment.
"That means you still want to fight. Since you are fighting, you must want to win this battle. But now do you think there is still hope? Why are you fighting?" Liang Xiaoyong asked again.
"Who knows if we can win if we don't fight hard? Besides, we can't afford to lose. Our families are all in Zhuozhou City. Only by defeating Zhou Taotian's army can we save their lives. Once Zhou Taotian attacks Zhuozhou City, what we have now
Everything will be gone, what’s the point of living if your home is gone?" the veteran said bitterly, shaking his head.
The other soldiers also had nervousness and worry in their eyes. As the most elite troops under Xing Tian, they originally had a good status and were firmly tied to Xing Tian's interests. Failure indeed meant losing everything.
"Okay! I'm just waiting for your words. You have the decision to fight and the motivation to win, so there is nothing to hesitate about. I declare that from now on, I will enter the first level of combat readiness. From here on, I will fight all the way. I
I cannot guarantee that each of you will be alive in the end, but I can guarantee that we will be the final winner of this war, and your families will receive the best care after the war." Liang Xiaoyong patted the veteran on the shoulder and announced loudly,
His eyes were once again filled with fierce murderous intent.
"Fight! Fight, fight, fight..." The fat man cheered, and all the soldiers cheered too. The fighting spirit that had been lost due to running away was rekindled and became even stronger.
What Liang Xiaoyong needs is such an elite army. This is the help he needs most at this time. After the previous retreat and demobilization, he finally has a complete and high-spirited team. In the next battle, he has
Capital on the offensive.
"Sir, which team are we going to fight with?" the veteran asked after cheering.
"There, as long as we assist General Wu in guarding the dock, we can guarantee the victory of this battle." Liang Xiao said confidently, pointing in the direction of the dock.
At this time, they were more than 20 miles away from the dock in a straight line, with hills, rivers, and swamps in between. The actual marching distance was far more than 20 miles. Moreover, they were entering and exiting the enemy's encirclement, and it was definitely not easy to rush through. On the contrary, they
Not only would it be only a dozen miles away to return to the city, but there would also be no direct confrontation with the enemy.
But no one opposed Liang Xiaoyong's decision. At this moment, everyone showed serious military discipline and strong confidence in Liang Xiaoyong. When he proposed to reinforce General Wu, they all accepted the order without hesitation.
There were 88 people with the fat man, but there were nearly 200 horses. This was the result that Liang Xiaoyong had prepared before. Although more than half of the horses were ordinary horses pulling carts, everyone had at least two horses at this time.
What's more, Fatty controls three tall war horses by himself.
Under the leadership of Liang Xiaoyong, everyone rode down the mountain and quickly approached the dock. At this time, they were riding ordinary horses. The fine war horses were all empty at this time and were used when they were needed most. Even Liang
Xiao Yong was not riding Li Mochou at this time, but was riding a strong carriage horse.
This team had strong soldiers and horses, but under Liang Xiaoyong's request, they kept the minimum movement at this time, and even deliberately walked on the bushes and grass, so that the team did not raise much dust when running. It could not be noticed from a distance.
This team exists.
Although he decided to fight, Liang Xiaoyong would not act recklessly. Instead, he would continue to conserve his strength and would not charge head-on with the enemy unless absolutely necessary. You must know that there were more than 100,000 enemies surrounding him at this time. It was almost as if Zhou Tao was naive.
More than 20% of the army's strength. Even if it is scattered to the southeast and southeast of Zhuozhou City, any fighting formation is a large force of more than ten thousand people. With a team of nearly a hundred people, they can almost attack with an egg against a stone.
Boom boom, the battle outside Zhuozhou City has begun in the distance. The troops sent by Xing Tian from the city have encountered Zhou Taotian's vanguard. This is a life-and-death battle. There is no temptation. When they meet, they rush to kill with all their strength.
Jump right into the bloodiest encounter yet.
At the same time, the battle in the city also reached a fever pitch. Although the more than 10,000 enemy troops lurking into the city were poorly prepared and their weapons and armor did not keep up, at the critical moment of life and death, they also showed the madness of the elite troops. They fought tooth and nail to block the Xingtian army.
Round after round of attacks, the two city gates were firmly guarded.
For them, as long as they persist until the army behind them arrives, it will be considered a victory. Otherwise, even if they retreat and escape at this time, they will be followed and hunted by Xing Tian's army, making it harder to survive.
"All teams must assemble immediately and report their losses," General Wu ordered loudly, covered in blood, at the riverside dock.
There had just been a brutal fight here. Just five minutes before the explosion at the East City Gate, General Wu keenly captured the opportunity and took the lead in launching a surprise attack on Fan Zeng's men. The killing caught Fan Zeng's side off guard and suddenly took the initiative.
But annihilating Fan Zeng and his gang also cost them a huge price. General Wu fought hard against Fan Zeng, and although Fan Zeng was eventually killed, one of his arms was chopped off by Fan Zeng and was seriously injured.
At this time, there were less than 1,500 soldiers still able to fight on the pier, and the rest were either killed or seriously injured. Before they could end the battle, the general offensive of both sides had begun. Zhou Taotian's troops rushed out from all directions and had already
Completely cutting off their retreat path back to the city. At this time, they have become a lonely force surrounded by the enemy. No reinforcements will arrive in a short time. At the same time, they can retreat before they can win. At this time, they are at the dock.
