In fact, it was not only Gou Defu who collapsed when he heard Liu Lang's almost cruel order.

Even though there was a temptation of 30% of the military pay higher than ordinary troops, there was still a second lieutenant officer who took his sixteen soldiers into the mountains and took away all his weapons and equipment while camping that night.

As the saying goes, it means being a deserter directly.

When the news came to Liu Lang, it was already late at night. Lin Li and others, who were still discussing the next day's march arrangement, changed their faces.

Since Liu Lang announced the marching order in the mountains in the evening, Lin Li and others have felt that Liu Lang was a little anxious.

In their opinion, the morale of the troops that had been marching outside the field for several days was extremely sluggish, and it would be even worse if this happened. This desertion incident almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back. If the news spread, the morale of the army would probably be the best result. This was just the first night in the mountains, and a total of seventeen officers ran away. As time went by, there were probably more and more people running.

As for whether to recover the deserters overnight, Lin Lichi Dakui and others had never thought about it. It was almost half an hour before they found the deserters. More than a dozen people were like a drop of water in the ocean in the middle of the night. It was harder to find them than climbing to the sky. Unless they mobilized the entire regiment to light a torch to search, but according to the current situation, others did not find them, and more people ran away, which was called losing their wife and losing their troops.

The most urgent task is to stabilize the morale of the remaining soldiers first, and then talk about other things.

"Captain, see if we will modify the marching plan?" Lin Li still took care of Liu Lang's face and did not say it too directly.

But what surprised Lin Li and others was that Liu Lang's face was very calm, as if all this was as expected by him. However, the coldness flashed in his eyes could still make people feel his anger.

As a military chief, it is of course a shame for the soldiers under his command to become deserters. It is a huge shame, and anger is normal.

They didn't know that Liu Lang specially arranged the camping site on the first day of entering the mountain to more than ten miles on the edge of the mountain area. The first was to prepare for the six-day devil training in the future, and the second was to wait for the emergence of those with weak will.

To be honest, when it comes to "professional" soldiers, the kingdom's soldiers are really called "professional". The purpose of joining the army is very clear, just to get salary.

From the collapse of the government to the establishment of a kingdom to the nominal unification of the country, the war on the land has never stopped. In order to compete for territory and interests, it is normal for warlords to attack each other. Even in Qiu Tongzhou, now there are still wars, and the curtain of the dispute between the two Lius is beginning.

Most of the officers and soldiers went to that one family if they paid a lot of money. It was normal for the change of the king flag on the city wall to make a temporary turn against him for the sake of the white silver coins.

The kingdom army at this time was several times more powerful than the Duchy Army, which was equipped with far superior equipment, but still had no choice but to do anything. It was not that they would not fight, but that they were not motivated. If it were not for some senior leaders of the Duchy Army, the king would have to slap his forehead within a few years: It was not that our army did not work hard, but that the Duchy Army was too cunning.

In fact, the difference between the two armies is nothing more than the word "belief". A soldier without faith cannot be called a real soldier.

Foreign soldiers cherish their lives the most. Even the soldier manual specifically states that when encountering an irresistible crisis, they can put down their weapons. To put it bluntly, surrender to save their lives. But they pursue freedom and equality. For this belief, they can still go on one after another and tell the world their courage with sacrifice.

Of course, when the foreign enemy invaded, most of the soldiers of the Kingdom finally had their own beliefs. The four words "Defend the country" made the kingdom's most elite 800,000 army continue to face the artillery fire of the Black Hawk Empire Army in the sea, land and sky, and shattered the crazy words of the Black Hawk Empire Army to destroy the Kingdom in three months in Haicheng with 300,000 huge casualties. The entire kingdom war zone, whether in frontal battlefield or behind enemy lines, the kingdom army died in battle of 1.327 million, and the Duchy Army proved their courage with 160,000 deaths.

This trip to Tongzhou in Qiu is a furnace, a furnace that removes the drought and preserves the essence. Only soldiers with the strongest will have the right to go to the battlefield of confronting the Black Hawk Empires. It’s not that Liu Lang is too eager for quick success, but that March next year will be coming soon.

However, although he was prepared for deserters, Liu Lang was still angry. An officer, with all the soldiers under his command, became deserters in an entire system. This behavior exceeded Liu Lang's tolerance limit.

"The plan goes as usual, I will find them with deserters." Liu Lang waved his hand and said firmly.

"Sir, I will arrange how many people you need to search the mountains. If you dare to become a deserter, I will definitely kill them." Chi Dakui said with angrily open his eyes without hesitation.

"You restrain the soldiers, I'll just go alone." Liu Lang shook his head and refused.

"Captain, are you alone..." Lin Li still waited for advice. When he saw Liu Lang who had already started to organize his equipment, he swallowed all the rest of his words back.

Liu Lang's attitude has already explained everything. He wants to recover the damn deserters alone.

To be honest, from the perspective of safety alone, Lin Li is not too worried about Liu Lang. In such an environment, dozens of people are actually not much different from one person, and one person’s goal is smaller or even safer.

If deserters just become deserters, maybe the commander would run away too much, but if they dare to hurt the commander who pursued the fugitive, they would cause big trouble.

More importantly, in terms of individual soldiers' skills, no one in the entire independent group can surpass it.

A rifle, a wrench gun, and a bayonet Liu Lang was not sheathed at all. Xueliang's blade was inserted directly into the leggings. Liu Lang stuffed two base bullets into the bullet bag on his waist. Seventeen deserters who had experienced the bloody battle in Haicheng did not dare to take it lightly.
