Chapter 138 Desperate Morale Boost

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you fall behind, I will kill you." A sentry officer in Nie Guilin's subordinate army urged his soldiers loudly.

"Li Shao, where are we going?" one of his confidantes asked panting as he hurried forward.

Fortunately, although it was late at night, the snow had not melted, and there were cavalrymen lighting torches every few meters, so the road could not be seen clearly.

"How did I know where to go? There was a death order from above. If anyone lags behind by one step, he will be shot immediately." The sentry officer surnamed Li said angrily.

Needless to say, ordinary soldiers simply couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. Although the sentry officer surnamed Li knew that the general direction was Xiangximu City, he didn't think that his commander would get hot-headed and lead himself and others to die.

It is estimated that I will turn back at that intersection, and then flee to the rear. I heard that the Japanese are almost at Yijun's defensive position.

Not only in the Feng army, but also in Jiang Xiyi's Xizi army and Xu Bangdao's guard army, a similar scene is happening. While countless soldiers are hurrying on their way, a big question arises in their hearts. Are we here? Where are you going?

Could it be that they are going to retreat? Most of the sergeants think so. After all, they are used to retreating. It's just that this time the situation is special. They retreated after fighting the Japanese a few times before. This time they didn't even fight. About to retreat.

Could it be that the friendly army stationed at Xujiayuanzi had already been defeated by the Japanese, so we fled in a hurry.

Regardless of what the soldiers think, Wei Jichen sent messengers to keep in touch with the commanders of the various armies all the way to communicate with each other and keep abreast of the progress of the various armies.

"Report, the Xizi army is about one kilometer away from our army, and General Jiang promises to arrive at the designated place before dawn."

"Let Jiang Xiyi work harder, I want him to maintain this speed, and he can't be more than one kilometer away from our army." Wei Jichen said immediately with a frown.

Before dawn, damn it, I said that I can’t arrive before dawn at the latest, so you are pinching that point.

"Yes, Wei Shuai!"

The messenger hurried down.

Before a wave of messengers left, another wave came forward to report.

"Report, General Xu is not far away from our army."

"Oh, this old Xu is quite fast, let him take it easy, don't be in a hurry, otherwise the sergeant will be so tired after arriving at the designated position, will he still have the strength to kill the Japanese?" Wei Jichen said seriously.

Wang Huaiqing next to him was speechless, and looked at Wei Jichen blankly, wondering why Wei Jichen issued two completely different orders.

Wei Jichen seemed to understand what he was thinking, and also intended to cultivate him. He explained a little: "Jiang Xiyi is slow-tempered, and Xu Bangdao is quick-tempered. We can't treat different people in the same way. Even if you don't rush him, Xu Bangdao will do his best. Go forward, Jiang Xiyi, if you don't rush him, he thinks there is no rush, so he will walk slowly."

"My lord's opinion!" Wang Huaiqing gave a thumbs up, and then asked, "What about Nie Guilin?"

"Although Nie Guilin is a bit timid and timid, it is precisely because he dare not disobey any of my military orders, and he is more afraid of me, because he knows my temper. If anyone dares to disobey the military orders, I will show no mercy. He will only complete my orders verbatim." Wei Jichen said with a noncommittal smile.

Wang Huaiqing admired: "Wei Shuai's analysis of human nature opened the eyes of his subordinates."

"Okay, you'd better save your flattering words for later." Wei Jichen saw that Wang Huaiqing wanted to say more, so he couldn't help but glanced at him lightly, and said impatiently.

Wang Huaiqing touched his forehead embarrassingly, and thought in his heart: Wei Shuai even knows my character clearly, and the days will be sad in the future.

"Report!" A messenger came back from the front.

Wei Jichen reckoned that Huzi's army from the former battalion had already joined up with the sergeant Ma Jinxu came to greet him.

Sure enough, as Wei Jichen expected, the messenger galloped to Wei Jichen's side, pulled the reins, and reported loudly: "Send to Commander Wei, Mr. Ma sent someone to fetch our army."

Wei Jichen nodded, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Brother, work harder, the destination is not far ahead, and where you are, brothers can take a breather."

When the soldiers in the middle battalion heard Wei Jichen's yelling, they all cheered up and quickened their pace consciously.

Two hours before dawn, Wei Zijun's artillery battalion, under the leadership of Wang Shizhen, arrived at the designated position.

A few days ago, Wei Jichen sent someone to find out the terrain around Xujiayuanzi, and Wang Shizhen's artillery battalion had also chosen a location early on, setting it up on the mountain peak to the left of the valley entrance.

Wei Jichen arranged a pocket formation, with Xu Bangdao's arch guard at the bottom of the pocket to prevent the Japanese from escaping forward.

On the high mountains on both sides of the valley, Nie Guilin's Fengjun and Jiang Xiyi's Xizijun, who were not strong in combat, were deployed respectively. They only needed to condescend to shoot the Japanese.

And it was Wei Zijun who tied his pockets tightly.

After most of the Japanese stepped into the encirclement, the artillery battalion would bomb first to cut off the retreat of the Japanese. At the same time, the Wei Zijun ambushing at the entrance of the valley would quickly gather from both sides, and firmly surrounded the 3rd Division in one fell swoop. Within the encirclement, the 3rd Division cannot retreat.

The Gongwei Army, Feng Army, and Xizi Army arrived one after another, and Nie Guilin and others arranged an ambush according to the pre-designated positions.

It wasn't until this time that the sergeants of the various armies realized that the five-way army had gathered here without knowing it, and the cleverer sergeants immediately realized that it must be here to ambush the Japanese.

Just let them think about it, and they can't think of anyone who has such a great prestige that all the commanders of the armies obey orders, and they dare not neglect in the slightest.

The sergeants were all lying in the snow on both sides of the valley. Although they were shivering from the cold, none of them dared to speak out, because the order to die had just been sent from above. , Even the family will be affected.

In addition to strict orders, the officers at all levels also sent news that a total of 3 troops set up traps and ambushed here, preparing to annihilate the [-]rd Japanese Division in one fell swoop. After winning, promotion and fortune are easy.

The sergeant was surprised when he heard this, and his heart became a little excited.

After Wei Jichen arranged his affairs in the army in an orderly manner, he rode on a horse, took his own soldiers with him, and began to inspect the various armies.

Wei Jichen spent a lot of money this time, preparing more than a dozen Baihua Yulu pills, and prepared to use his military skills during the battle - to boost morale.

Wei Jichen did a rough calculation. Using the second level of military division skills to boost morale requires 6 points of mental power. The upper limit of the number of people is 200, and the morale is increased by 10 points. Now the total number of the five armies is more than 2000. , he will consume at least 60 points of mental power.

More importantly, this effect lasts only half an hour. Even if the ambush is resolved quickly, it is impossible to achieve it in just half an hour, so he can only use it continuously to boost morale.

Let the five armies maintain high fighting spirit at all times.

Entering the system, Wei Jichen found that in the Army item of his army system, there were not only Wei Army, but also Ren Army, Xi Army, Gongwei Army, and Feng Army.

These troops are temporarily under his control, and the system recognizes them as his troops. That is to say, after the battle, the sergeants of the Five Route Army will continuously provide him with merit points.

Of these five armies, it goes without saying that Wei Zijun's morale is the highest at 90, and he hardly needs to use his military skills to boost morale.

And Nie Guilin's army had the lowest morale, only 51 points. Morale is a mysterious thing. Wei Jichen guessed it after so long groping. The morale is lower than 50 points, which means that this army is not good. As long as it suffers a slight setback, it will collapse and flee. .

Between 50 and 70, you can fight a smooth battle, if it is higher than 70, you can fight hard, and when you reach 90, it goes without saying that everyone in the army is going forward without fear of death.

Wei Jichen reckoned that when the sergeants of all armies knew that he was not dead, and ordered them to set up ambush against the Japanese, their morale would automatically increase.

Wei Jichen immediately stopped wasting time, thinking that he should quickly spread the news that he was not dead, and when the battle started, he frantically launched the military master skill, and must raise the morale of each army to more than eighty.

Starting from the mountain peak on the left, Nie Guilin's Fengjun was in ambush. When Wei Jichen arrived at the Fengjun's position, the sergeants had already taken their positions and were lurking everywhere.

When Nie Guilin learned of Wei Jichen's arrival, he hurriedly brought several staff officers to greet him.

"Wei Shuai, this place is indeed an excellent ambush terrain. As long as the Japanese dare to come in, they will definitely suffer heavy losses." Nie Guilin said with a red smile.

Wei Jichen knew what he was thinking, nothing more than getting promoted and getting rich after victory.

Fortunately, although both sides have what they need, their goals are the same.

"Let's go, let's go check on the situation of the sergeant." Wei Jichen said directly without being too lazy to talk nonsense.

Nie Guilin had no choice but to ignore the severe cold and follow behind Wei Jichen to visit those bitter people.

No wonder the morale of Fengjun was low. Seeing Nie Guilin's reluctance, Wei Jichen could think of how he treats the sergeants on weekdays. If you don't treat the sergeants as human beings, of course others won't work for you.

In the forest about 500 meters away from the valley, countless soldiers were trembling and prostrate on the ground. They did not dare to make a sound, because Nie Guilin set up a prison army behind them. If anyone destroys his dream of getting promoted and getting rich, you will not die In the hands of the enemy, it will die in my hands.

Deterring soldiers with force is the most inferior method of controlling the army. A good general will make soldiers willing to go through life and death for themselves without complaint.

When the sergeants heard the footsteps behind them, they turned their heads and looked secretly.

"This is not General Wei, he is not dead."

Seeing their own commander following a young man like a follower, countless soldiers screamed in their hearts.

The sergeants of the Feng army were more shocked than the sergeants of the Wei Zi army.

After all, some of the sergeants of Wei Zijun knew that Wei Jichen was not dead, while the sergeants of Fengjun knew for sure.

At this time, seeing the living Wei Jichen standing behind them, they couldn't help but be amazed, and then some smart soldiers understood why their own commander had the guts to set up an ambush here.

It turned out that General Wei was in command in person. That being said, General Wei pretended to be dead in order to lure the Japanese into being fooled. Now that the Japanese are really being fooled, doesn’t that mean that we have always been in the upper hand, and it seems that we want to win this battle? Maybe.

The sergeants are not fools, after the initial ignorance, they all reacted with a little smile on their faces.
