Originally, everyone suffered heavy losses as a result of this battle. It can be said that even though the victory was a defeat, they were depressed and morale was ruined. However, at this time, everyone felt Liu Ming's true feelings revealed and suddenly realized the pride of a soldier dying for his confidant. Especially Zhang Feigen.
It was Wa Wa who yelled: "Brother, don't be so sad. It's all because of my incompetence. I didn't lead these strong cavalry. Not only did I fail to relieve my brother, but I also caused the death of many brothers. This is definitely not my fault. If you want to blame, blame me.
.Please eldest brother to punish the younger brother!" Others also said: "Don't be sad, master of the village. If we, the people in troubled times, had not met the master of the village, we would have turned into resentful ghosts a long time ago! The time has come.
Today, they are all earned, and the brothers who died died to defend the manor and to make contributions to the manor. It can be said that they died well. They will only be happy under Jiuquan and will never complain to the manor."
Then Guan Yu also said sternly: "Brother, since ancient times, earthen pots have inevitably been broken at the wells, and generals have inevitably died in battle. What's more, soldiers, since they join the army, they must have the awareness to die in battle. The key is those of us who survive."
People must never let those who die die in vain. Brother, you must cheer up. As long as you can lead us brothers who have survived to make contributions and make our Tiger Roar Villa famous far and wide, then these people who have died will not have died in vain!
"
In fact, Liu Ming had nothing to do with it. He just couldn't control the sadness in his heart when he saw so many of his former partners died. But he didn't expect that these ancients were so reluctant to see men shed tears. They actually aroused such a big reaction.
Liu Ming still thought it was funny, and Zhang Fei's true temperament really moved Liu Ming. But later when Liu Ming listened to other people's words, he couldn't help but get angry. Why should others die for the sake of living people like you?
But then Guan Yu's words made Liu Ming realize in his heart: Yes! He is also a soldier. Since being a soldier naturally requires the consciousness of sacrifice to protect the family and the country. Although at this time, people have no thoughts about doing anything for the country,
But there are also thoughts of protecting the family and doing something for oneself. For the country, in this period when family is supreme, no one would think so. Anyone who talks about serving the country is just talking, under the guise of such a
It's just a banner. Now these people who follow them simply attribute death to helping themselves build a career. Although their ideas are narrower, if you don't let them think like this, then wouldn't they have no purpose at all?
? Then didn’t they die without any value? Such simple and honest people, just for helping them, they can repay them with death. And indeed, the deceased is dead, and the deceased can take nothing with them.
They won't feel anything. All the things done for the dead are just to comfort the living. Let them think like this! It can be regarded as giving them a meager value orientation. Liu Ming figured out the link and concluded
He had a sad face. (He lost his sad face when he wanted to get angry) and said loudly to everyone: "In order to prevent the dead brothers from dying in vain, I, Liu Ming, will definitely lead everyone to defeat the Yellow Turbans and make our Tiger Roar Villa famous far and wide.
I, Liu Ming, will lead you to make achievements together, and you must live tenaciously and work hard. You must know that from now on, you are no longer alive alone, and you must do a better job for those brothers who have died.
Stay alive, you are their hope, and you must not let down the high expectations of these dead brothers!!"
When these surviving soldiers heard Liu Ming's words, they suddenly felt different from usual. They seemed to have something to rely on and felt that their lives were meaningful. The morale of these soldiers was instantly boosted. It was not just who shouted loudly first.
He said: "For the owner of the village and for the dead brothers, we are invincible!!!" followed by shouts one after another that converged into a huge sound: "I am invincible!"
All the generals under Liu Ming were shocked, and Guan Yu also secretly admired him: "My eldest brother is really a human being! Not only did he recover from the blow so quickly, but with just a few words, the soldiers seemed to be completely changed. In fact, how could Guan Yu know?"
, the words Liu Ming said are almost overused in modern memorial services; as for the blow, Liu Ming even survived the reversal of time and space, and he understood the meaning of life and death. Of course, he can't do anything to it. But he didn't say it.
Nothing has changed about Liu Ming. At least Liu Ming has put on himself the shackles of leading the survivors to make contributions and not letting the dead die in vain.
Liu Ming saw that everyone was almost rested, so he ordered the troops to be gathered together, escorted the prisoners, and returned to the Huxiao Villa. When they arrived at the manor, they were rewarded based on their merits. Needless to say, Guan Yu was the first one, followed by Tuoba Ying. This Tuoba Ying
According to statistics after the war, the assault cavalry led by Ba Ying not only had no casualties, but also killed the most enemy troops among all combat units. Others also took credit for their contributions.
Liu Ming and the generals summarized this battle. Everyone felt that in this battle:
First of all, it is the shooting of the crossbowman. Since the Yellow Turban Army attacks in a vertical array, the projectile of the crossbowman can only shoot the soldiers in the front, which is greatly reduced in power. Moreover, due to the weight, one crossbowman can only carry three soldiers.
After the crossbow arrows are fired, the box crossbow can only be regarded as a light infantry. If it cannot be used on a large scale and becomes a group to kill the enemy on a large scale at one time, the power of the box crossbowman will not be great.
It is recommended to use it intensively in the future, and set up a crossbow regiment of at least 2,160 people before it can be used for large-scale use. Moreover, every time the crossbow shoots an arrow, the crossbow machine must be pulled to tighten the crossbow string.
To avoid the problem of letting the crossbow arrows in the box slide down, it is recommended that the phylactery crossbowmen stand in three rows. When one row is shooting, the second row prepares and the third row loads the crossbow; when the next row finishes shooting, the first row retreats and the second row
One platoon shoots, and three platoons prepare. At this time, one platoon turns into three platoons and begins to load the crossbow; this cycle repeats, forming an uninterrupted rain of arrows, which is called three consecutive shots. Of course, Liu Ming did not have the strength at this time to establish such a large
It should be said that when Liu Ming was at his peak, he only had the troops of the 11th battalion, one battalion short of two regiments. This was just a good wish of everyone at this time, but what they didn't know was that this wish was already close to being realized.
Far.
Secondly, although the Sword and Shield Soldier is indestructible, when it cannot reach its scale, especially when the number of people is very different, as long as it is pushed to the ground, although the enemy cannot hack him to death, the Sword and Shield Soldier in the armor can't.
It cannot bear the trampling and ravage of many people. In the same way, it is still necessary to expand the size of the crossbowmen and expand the number of legions.
As for the comments on strong cavalry and shock cavalry, let’s talk about them in the next chapter.
