But when they discovered that this was not the case, that the aliens would not be afraid when they saw you, and would rush towards you to take your life, then they realized how insignificant they were, and how insignificant they were in front of the enemy.
Extremely weak.
People die on the battlefield.
And they don’t want to die. So do they still want to stay?
This is just the outer perimeter of the northern line, and does not really go deep into it. The enemies there must be more ferocious and numerous. If we don't withdraw now, I'm afraid there won't be any chance to withdraw.
"General Zhongwu, I'm sorry, I will... quit."
Finally, after about dozens of breaths, the first person to leave appeared.
"There is no need to say sorry to me. You have not sorry for me. At most, you are sorry for your family, the honor you should bear, and your colleagues who trust you."
Su Shi looked at the soldiers who stood out, his eyes were light and cold, not mocking, not looking down on, but also without any emotion. Instead, he quickly turned his head, looked at the three thousand troops, and continued: "There are also
Anyone who wants to withdraw must stand up now, otherwise, after this moment, he will not have the chance again. Anyone who withdraws will be treated as a deserter, and military law will be ruthless at that time."
When talking about the latter part, Su Shi's expression became even colder, and among such gazes, people kept coming forward, sparsely. Although the number of people was not very large, after a stick of incense, about 500 people came out.
"Are there any more?" Su Shi didn't even look at the timid people. His eyes wandered around the 2,500 people who stayed.
No one answered, but so
answer.
No more, 500 of the 3,000 people left, and the remaining 2,500 people chose to stay, whether because they couldn't afford to embarrass others, couldn't lose face, or didn't want to live up to the family's expectations.
"Very good, if you all make a decision, then you will no longer be a member of the reserve imperial army, but now a soldier under my General Zhongwu. Next, you will follow me in the north and south; next, you will fight in the north and south with me;
, where my long sword points, you must move forward without hesitation. Even if there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of you, you must not give in. Otherwise, those who retreat without military orders will be treated as deserters and killed!"
"Did you hear clearly? Have you made your decision?"
When Su Shi's voice sounded, a group of people headed by Yang Wenguang and Hu Yanqing immediately replied loudly, "We have thought about it, we have decided. From now on, we will be a member of General Zhongwu. We will move forward indomitably as the long sword points.
.”
"Hahaha, okay, you are the real men of heaven and earth, worthy of people's respect. Lou Yang, bring the war horse."
"Yes." Lou Yang agreed and waved his hand behind him, and the two brothers Long Xingyun and Hu Xingfeng came over leading two tall Mongolian horses.
"Yang Wenguang comes out." Su Shi's voice sounded again.
"The general is here." Yang Wenguang, wearing a blood-stained armor, strode out of the team.
"In today's battle, Captain Yang Wenguang of Zhiguo performed outstandingly and fought bravely against the enemy. He was promoted to Captain of Zhenwu and was rewarded with a healthy horse."
At this moment, Long Xingyun also stepped forward and handed the reins of the tall Mongolian horse in his hand to Yang Wenguang.
"Thank you, General." Yang Wenguang said
With the excitement all over his body, he was promoted by another half level and became the sixth grade Zhenwu Colonel. This was something he never dared to think about before, but now it has become a reality.
"Hu Yanqing comes out."
"The end is here." Hu Yanqing, with a happy face, also stood up from the team.
"In today's battle, Colonel Renyong Hu Yanqing performed very well. He personally killed the Mengqi general and made great achievements. He was promoted to Colonel Xuejie and was rewarded with a healthy horse."
"Thank you, General." Hu Yanqing chuckled, his face blooming like a flower.
When Yang Wenguang came to see him before, he gave him a genuine ninth-grade general. Now he has become a genuine eighth-grade general, having been promoted two levels in a row. Naturally, he is overjoyed.
Su Shi rewarded two people and promoted them, which made other people feel envious and jealous.
But no matter how envious they were, no one would say it was unfair. Those two hundred Mongolian cavalry were intercepted under the leadership of Yang Wenguang and Hu Yanqing. Otherwise, I don’t know how many of them would die in the future.
people.
After the rewards were over, it was time to say the punishment. Su Shi looked at Lou Yang beside him, "Are there any deserters from the past among the people left behind?"
"Master, yes, there are two more people. The others have stood with the wounded soldiers." Lou Yang replied aloud.
At the beginning of the war, while others were observing the battle situation, Lou Yang and his men were keeping an eye on the deserters, and now they finally came up with a statistical result.
Su Shi felt angry when he heard that there were two deserters who did not choose to escape, but wanted to stay.
When the war came just now, he ran away faster than anyone else. How could such a person change his gender after just a while? Su Shi didn't believe it.
It is most likely that these two people want
They are the kind of people who are just trying to show off their tricks, who don't want to contribute, but also want to have a good reputation. Such people are the most shameful by Su Shi. In his eyes, such people are hypocrites, and they are even more despicable than real villains.
.
He took a breath and reached out to take a note from Lou Yang, with the names of those two people written on it.
"Sun Yi, Xu Yin came out."
The two men who were standing in the queue were suddenly called by name, and their faces instantly became very ugly.
They didn't want to stand up. Just now they didn't have the courage to fight and ran away.
But they don't want to just go back to Bianliang without accomplishing anything, otherwise they will be laughed to death.
So, they chose to stay and they wanted to give it a try.
Of course, if danger really happens again, it's not too late to escape. Anyway, there is always a chance to stay, which is better than walking back now and being looked down upon by others.
They just didn't expect that what they had done before would be recorded by someone. At the moment when their names were called, both of them had a bad feeling.
Taking unsteady steps, the two people walked out of the queue.
Su Shi didn't even look at them. Instead, he sat on his wheelchair and looked up to the sky and said: "It was your first battle just now. Some people were so scared that they didn't even have the courage to fight with the enemy. They turned around and ran away, which became a shame."
deserters."
"Such a person is extremely hateful, because it is very likely that the morale of the army will be affected because of your escape. Anyone who shakes the morale of the army during the war will be deemed a deserter and should be executed!"
Upon hearing the word "Dang Zhan", both Sun Wei and Xu Yin's faces turned pale, obviously frightened.
Su Shi continued, "General, I
I hate the deserters very much, but in line with your merits after all, I still give you a chance and a step so that some timid people can take the initiative to withdraw. Even if they lose some face, they are not you.
If one person is lost, there are still so many people, so it is a comfort at least."
Having said this, Su Shi's eyes turned to Sun Yi and Xu Yin, "But there are some people who don't know what is good and what is good. They always think that they are very smart and think that others have not seen what they do.
Even if you see it, you won’t care too much. Haha, are you really blind?”
Suddenly Su Shi exploded, pointed at Sun Yi and Xu Yin and said, "You two were the ones who took the lead in escaping in the previous battle. Now that I don't give you the chance to leave, do you still want to stay and be like rat shit?"
"If I really keep you here, are you still planning to continue to be deserters and disrupt the morale of the army during the next battle?"
"People like you have no repentance at all and are taking chances every day. How can I, the general, tolerate you? Come on, take them two and chop off their heads for desertion and enforce the strictness of military law."
.”
"Yes." Long Xingyun and Hu Xingfeng had been waiting for a long time. When they heard Su Shi finally gave the order, they couldn't be polite. They strode forward and lifted Sun Yi and Xu Yin up one by one.
, dragged to the side.
On the other side, Feng Yidao and Hu Tongtian were both executioners, laughing and holding a big knife in each hand. Their smiles made people panic.
Su Shi actually wanted to kill someone. Although he said he was killing deserters, many of the reserve guards' expressions changed drastically after seeing it.
Sun Yi and Xu Yin are their colleagues, and there are even many people who are familiar with them. They have played together since childhood. Now they see that they are not dying at the hands of Meng Qi, but at the hands of Su Shi.
When I was holding hands, several people wanted to stand up and say something.
Su Shi seemed to have noticed the strange movement in the crowd, and immediately said: "Anyone who intercedes on behalf of the deserter will be punished with desertion and beheaded!"
In that instant, several steps that were about to take suddenly stopped.
Are you kidding me? It's okay to intercede for me, but if you have to risk your life because of it, then forget it.
The crowd calmed down again, and now only Sun Yi and Xu Yin were left shouting for mercy.
I shouted for mercy so many times. I knew I was wrong, but Su Shi remained unmoved. Sun Yi turned and said angrily: "Su Shi, who do you think you are? You are just a loyal military general from the third rank.
My ancestors made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, and their official positions are much higher than yours. You can't treat me like this, otherwise my Sun family will not let you go."
"It's so annoying." Feng Yidao pulled Sun Xi who was being dragged in front of him, kicked him to the ground, then raised the knife and dropped it, a stream of blood flew out, and Sun Xi's shout was also
Stopped abruptly.
Hu Tongtian on the other side was not polite. He laughed loudly and then the same big knife fell. Another head separated from the body and rolled to the ground.
Sun Yi and Xu Yin died, killed in front of more than 3,000 reserved imperial troops.
Su Shi's voice also sounded again at this time, "All wounded soldiers and soldiers who want to stop fighting, return to Bianliang City immediately. You can also tell what you saw today
Spread the word, and you can also tell the Sun family and the Xu family that I, Su Shi, did this. If they are not convinced, they can come to me for revenge or file a complaint with the officials. But I still want to say that what I did
It was for the purpose of perfecting military law, and what I did was extremely legitimate."
