Zhao Junchen is a man who cherishes his life. Unless it is a last resort, he would never have the courage to take risks himself. All this is just a scene played by Zhao Junchen and Zhao Dali.
It's a pity that Zhao Dali has only been following Zhao Junchen for a short time, and he has not yet learned Zhao Junchen's shamelessness and superb acting skills. His expression was quite stiff when he shouted loudly.
If it had been Xu Qingyan, his performance at this time would have been much better, and the performance would have been lifelike. Unfortunately, Xu Qingyan was secretly guarding Liang Fuchen and was not with Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen could only make do with Zhao Dali for the time being.
.
Fortunately, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were shocked by Zhao Junchen's shocking statement and did not notice Zhao Dali's poor acting skills, otherwise Zhao Junchen's true thoughts would have broken up the gang!
After hearing Zhao Dali's strong opposition, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo also quickly expressed their opposition.
Zhou Bo said anxiously: "The Imperial Envoy has a noble status. It is already extremely risky to stay here to observe the battle situation. How can you personally take risks and enter the battlefield? The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. You, the Imperial Envoy, are now on three sides."
Once something unexpected happens to the backbone of the soldiers, I am afraid that the morale of the frontline soldiers will soon collapse, let alone the imperial court's accountability in the future... No! This is absolutely impossible! "
Wu Qifan also advised: "Yes, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! The situation on the battlefield is gradually getting better. It is not an exaggeration to say that the victory has been determined. Why do you need to do anything more? If you appear on the battlefield, the soldiers on the front line will certainly
It will boost morale, but you must also allocate troops to protect you. The already stretched troops on the battlefield will become more and more focused on one thing and the other. On the contrary, it will increase the possibility of the Mongols successfully breaking through... I hope the imperial envoy will think twice!
"
Zhao Junchen's expression was full of determination and awareness. After looking around at the people around him, he slowly said: "Do you really think that our army's victory is already determined? You don't need me to personally enter the battlefield to boost morale? You are wrong! You are wrong!
That's wrong! In fact, our army's battlefield situation seems optimistic, but in fact it is already full of crises!"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Zhou Bo and Wu Qifan were stunned again.
Wu Qifan asked in astonishment: "As time goes by, our army's advantages on the battlefield will become more and more obvious... Isn't this exactly what you just said, the imperial envoy? The official carefully observed the changes in the battlefield situation and also
I find that what you said, Lord Imperial Envoy, is very reasonable. As the battlefield space gradually narrows, the Mongols are gradually exhausted, and our army is gradually gaining the advantage. If this trend continues, our army's chances of winning are indeed very high..."
Before Wu Qifan could finish speaking, Zhao Junchen had already waved his hand and interrupted: "I did say these words, but only now and then! Haven't you gentlemen noticed that our army's casualties have approached 40%?"
Zhou Bo nodded and said: "The casualties on the frontline cannot be underestimated. If it were any other army, the entire army would have collapsed at this time. However, because of the imperial envoy's clever methods of boosting morale during this period, the soldiers on the frontline
At present, we can still continue to persevere, and even become more courageous as we fight. There is nothing to worry about, and there is no need for the imperial envoy to visit the battlefield in person to boost morale... What's more, the casualties of the Mongolian army are not much better than our army...
"
Zhao Junchen waved his hand again to interrupt Zhou Bo's statement, and said with a serious expression: "It's still wrong! The casualties of our army are far from being as simple as losing nearly 40% of our soldiers! You have not discovered the hidden dangers in this! I
Let me ask you, the total strength of our army that entered Gongchang Mansion this time is more than 60,000. What kind of troops are these troops composed of?"
At this point, without waiting for Wu Qifan to speak to Zhou Bo, Zhao Junchen had already asked and answered himself: "These more than 60,000 soldiers and horses can be roughly divided into three parts! The first is the new army of soldiers I formed in Huamachi Camp.
There are ten thousand people. They have the strongest combat power, the highest morale, and the richest combat experience. They are the elite of our army;
Next is the border army in Guyuan Military Town, which has about 20,000 people. This army has gathered all the combatable soldiers in Guyuan Military Town, and its combat power is equally impressive! Especially since most of them are from Shaanxi and Gansu, and have been subjected to military training for many years.
After all the evil deeds of the Mongols, and after my repeated instigation these days, the hatred in their hearts has been completely aroused, their desire for war is the strongest, and they are the main force of our army;
Finally, there are the Forbidden Army troops supported by the imperial court in Shaanxi and Gansu. They have about 30,000 troops. They are the largest and have the best equipment... However, the Forbidden Army has not experienced war for a long time and has already become idle men hanging out with nobles and nobles.
You know what their real combat power is in this place! Most of them are not from Shaanxi and Gansu, and they don’t have much hatred for the Mongols. They have seen a lot of people in the capital, so the military reward I promised may not tempt them.
...It can be said that not only do they have the worst fighting power, but they also have the worst fighting spirit. These 30,000 soldiers and horses cannot be entrusted with heavy use, they are just used to strengthen their momentum!"
Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo are not stupid people. After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, they quickly guessed Zhao Junchen's worries, and their expressions changed slightly!
Zhao Junchen continued: "During this period of time, not only the Mongols have repeatedly divided their troops, but our army has also divided its troops many times! After retaking Zhenning Acropolis, in order to ensure that Zhenning Acropolis was foolproof, I stationed at Zhenning Acropolis.
The three thousand troops are all the elites of the new fighting army! When Fang Zhenshan led his troops to support Zhenning Guard City, he not only took away 12,000 Guyuan frontier troops, but also took away three thousand people from the new fighting army!
In addition, the scouts and horses I sent to various places in Gongchang Mansion are all elite cavalry from the new army of warriors. There are six to seven hundred people in total... In other words, although I still have soldiers and horses under my command,
There are more than 35,000 people, but the vast majority of them are forbidden troops that cannot be reused! The total number of usable new soldiers and the Guyuan border army is less than 10,000, and today's war
, and was divided into two parts by the Xiaochuan River. There are only six to seven thousand combatable soldiers left on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River!"
At this point, seeing the expressions of Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo gradually turn bad, Zhao Junchen pointed to the battlefield down the mountain and asked in a cold voice: "In the current battlefield on the south bank, about seven or eight thousand people have been lost! These dead people
Are there more local soldiers who are eager to fight? Or are there more reinforcements from the Forbidden Army who lack the will to fight? Among the remaining troops, are there more brave and capable frontier soldiers? Or are there more soldiers in the capital?
?
Don’t even think about it! When the Forbidden Army reinforcements join the battle, they must huddle behind. Most of the soldiers rushing in front are new soldiers and Guyuan frontier troops! So, don’t look at the fact that our army has only suffered seven or eight losses now.
Thousands of people, but in fact our army's combatable troops have been exhausted, and the main force on the battlefield has quietly turned into a forbidden army that cannot be reused!
In the current battle situation, our army is still in an advantage, just because the Mongols are also exhausted, but the Forbidden Army is not as full of fighting spirit as the border army. They are in the battle situation and cannot keenly realize that they have become the main force on the battlefield, and the damage
It is getting more and more serious. They thought that their side had gradually gained the advantage. They just wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Their fighting spirit was stronger than usual, but sooner or later they would find out that the situation on the battlefield had changed, and they would also find out that their
The casualties gradually become serious, and by that time, the battle situation that seems to be in the ascendant now will be reversed again at any time!"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo's faces gradually turned pale, and they finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed: "I was originally optimistic about this war and thought that our army had a great chance of winning, but that was because our army had a huge advantage in strength on the battlefield on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River, and the strength belonged to the Mongols.
Six times as much! As long as the ambush on the north bank can wipe out the Mongolian rear forces in time and quickly support the friendly forces on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River, our army will once again form a pincer attack situation from the front and the rear, and the strength advantage will be consolidated again. Who knows what will happen on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River?
The war has not ended yet, nor can we support the south bank battlefield in time. On the contrary, our army's combatable forces on the south bank have gradually been exhausted... This is one of the reasons why I want to risk entering the battlefield to boost morale and lure the enemy with my own body.
1! The army on the north bank clearly has an absolute advantage, but it has been unable to solve the Mongolian rear-end forces. Something unexpected must have happened, so I must end the war on the south bank as soon as possible to prevent accidents, and I must take a risk!
The fighting spirit and morale of the Forbidden Army reinforcements can only be stimulated by me personally taking risks and joining the battlefield!"
Zhao Junchen's various reasons can be said to be very sufficient. Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo also understood the necessity of Zhao Junchen's risky actions, but they still did not dare to let Zhao Junchen personally take risks and enter the battlefield!
After all, Zhao Junchen is too important. Once an accident occurs, no one can bear the responsibility.
As a result, both of them were silent for a while. They did not dare to agree with Zhao Junchen's risky approach, and they also did not know how to refute Zhao Junchen's decision.
But at this moment, Zhao Dali, who was standing next to him, shouted loudly again: "I still don't agree with the imperial envoy personally taking risks!"
