Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 211 Wen does not love money, Wu does not hesitate to die
Yan An's rude behavior was stopped by Wu Jie, but this is a military camp, and most of them are rude, so no one blamed Yan An or even said a few words about him, but everyone was staring at Liu Wei, after all Yan An spoke out the aspirations of everyone.

"We are generals, we have soldiers!" Liu Wei knew that he could not do without saying a few words at this time, so he opened his mouth slowly and read the opening remarks in a heavy tone.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses are already all our capital, and the life of every soldier is worth cherishing! The ancients said that it is not good for one general to be successful. We are not standing here to meet the Jin army to become peerless. Famous generals, not for the sake of being famous in history, we are for—resistance!"

"Resist the invasion of foreign races, resist the bullying and humiliation of our compatriots by foreign races, protect your family members, protect your compatriots! Are the soldiers compatriots? Are their lives not worth our protection?"

"Yes! I admit that if we attack now, it is possible to defeat the Golden Wushu, and it is possible to win, but what is the price? You may say that any war will pay a price. I admit this, but what I hope is that this The less expensive the better!"

After Liu Wei's words came to this point, Wu Jie and the others were very moved.

He was right, for a general like Wu Jie, sometimes a soldier is just a number in his heart, whether injured or dead, they are just pawns in the chess game.The phrase that kindness does not control soldiers has become a catchphrase for people like Wu Jie, a fig leaf in their minds,

Now, Liu Wei's words sounded like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, ringing everyone.

Isn't the life of a soldier a life?Isn't the soldier a compatriot of blood?Since it cannot be denied, why can't we think more about the soldiers when calculating?
Sacrifice is a respectable thing, but Zhuangzi once said that the story about the tortoise and the mud was told to the envoy of the king of Chu, and Liu Wei knew that deep in everyone's heart, they would actually choose the one that died in the mud. A tortoise with a dragging tail, so Liu Wei admires sacrifice, but he does not approve of casual sacrifice.

Just like what he said to Yan An just now, it's not that he doesn't hesitate to die, but that he dies for nothing!

"Since you said that, are you sure you can defend Monk Yuan without causing heavy casualties?"

Wu Jie's mood at this time is actually very complicated. He felt a little fever on his face, because he felt that what Liu Wei said just now seemed to be talking about him.

"My lord, I have already said about whether we can keep the monk, and I don't need to repeat it here. I, Liu Wei, am not an indomitable hero. I am also afraid of death, because I am afraid that after death, I will My relatives, they will be bullied and humiliated, so I can't die! Fighting the Jin people, fighting the Xixia people, fighting any enemy who may hurt my relatives, this is my way of being a man Responsibility! If it is said that I did not have the determination and confidence to keep Monk Yuan, then I am not standing here to talk to the adults and the generals, but to take my family and run as far as I can!"

"This."

It is very difficult for Wu Jie and others to accept Liu Wei's words and thoughts immediately.After all, they have been educated to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to dedicate their wealth and life to the emperor.

So when Liu Wei finished speaking, everyone was silent. This kind of ideological shock was even stronger than the physical shock, and it was difficult to dispel.

After a long time, Wu Lin said weakly: "Then should we discuss how we can do what you said Liu Wei?"

Nodding his head, Liu Yi cast a approving look at Wu Lin, and then said: "In my opinion, Jin Wushu will never waste the opportunity, he will definitely think that we are also suffering in the heavy rain, so he sent troops to attack! "

"Ah? If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?" Wu Lin's startled look made Wu Jie frown. If it wasn't his biological brother, he really wanted to kick Wu Lin away.

"What's the use of saying it earlier? Didn't the scouts confirm that the golden soldiers were still three days away before the heavy rain? Today the heavy rain has just stopped, and now it's time to prepare!" Liu Wei smiled lightly and said calmly : "The rain is almost over now, and the stones outside are really smoother. My lord, the general thought, let the soldiers move around, go to the ditch next to it, and dig the silt!"

"Dig mud? Liu Wei, do you still want to repeat the old trick?" Wu Jie was experienced and his brain was easy to use. Hearing Liu Wei's words, he asked.

"Jin Wushu is not a fool, doesn't he know how to be on guard?"

Regarding Liu Wei's tactics of killing Wulu, everyone present felt that it was very mysterious, but everyone also knew that such things have always been inseparable.That Jin Wushu is not a fool, with Wulu as a lesson from the past, could he still be fooled?
That fellow Yan An raised his chin high, and said to Liu Wei: "General Liu, you can't be...so poor in skills, right?"

"Donkey, General Yan, let me complete it for you. It's a donkey." Liu Wei didn't get angry because of Yan An's sarcasm, "Yes, Jin Wushu is such a smart person. When he knows that a road is paved with Which road will he choose when there is mud and the other road is clean?"

"Of course it's the clean one! Needless to say!" Yan An said with a puff from his nostrils.

"Liu Wei, you are really smart! This is really not a repeat of the old tricks, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

Wu Jie had already understood when he stopped here. Poor Yan An, his face was discolored and his mind was cramping. He was thinking about a question: what is so wonderful?

"Brother, what's so wonderful about Liu Wei's silt?"

"The good thing is that the mud is not in your mind!" Wu Jie glared at his stupid brother, and signaled him to shut up with his eyes, not to be verbose, and then turned to Liu Wei and said, "Then what paths should be paved?"

"Of course it's the roads we don't want Jin Bing to take, my lord, generals, look at the map..."

With Wu Jie's consent, Liu Wei now fully assumed the role of the number one military adviser of the whole monk, standing alone on the edge of the map, using wooden sticks, small flags, etc., to tell his plan one by one.

In the end, even Yan An, who had been arguing with Liu Wei, had to bow to Liu Wei's plan. After all, Liu Wei at least did what he said in the plan-to minimize losses.

The so-called reduction of losses is nothing more than trying not to directly engage in close combat with the golden soldiers, and make full use of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows to effectively kill the golden soldiers.

Now in Heshangyuan, in the hands of Wu Jie, there are dozens of defensive weapons that even Liu Wei is jealous of-the bed crossbow!

This kind of large crossbow, regardless of its range or power, is comparable to that used by ordinary single soldiers. Of course, it requires a lot of manpower to skillfully use the bed crossbow.

A device like the bed crossbow can shoot a crossbow arrow as thick as an arm [-] paces away. Even if it is a strong horse, it will only lead to death, let alone a human?

Wu Jie still had sixty or seventy such sharp weapons in his hands, so that Liu Wei was so jealous that he wanted to trick him into commanding him personally, but Wu Jie would not let go, no matter what Liu Wei said, he would not Take the move.

It took almost an hour and a half before Liu Wei explained the overall battle plan.In the eyes of Yan An and other generals, this is already a very complicated battle plan, but Liu Wei himself is not very satisfied, but limited by the technological level of this era and the fighting literacy of the soldiers under his command, he can only That's it.

"Everyone understands? If there is no problem, start according to the work that General Liu just assigned to you! After this battle is won, I will personally ask for credit for General Liu, the first credit!"

"Your Excellency is too good! The first achievement is naturally your leadership, and the second is that the generals commanded soldiers and heroes to kill the enemy. The last general is just a verbal effort, and it is worthless!"

Although Wu Jie valued it, Liu Wei also knew that he should be humble, otherwise, wouldn't it make Yan An and others even more dissatisfied with him?Under the current environment, Liu Wei didn't want to be the target of public criticism, especially during the war, if he really offended some narrow-minded generals, and if he couldn't do it secretly, then he would really die.

In fact, Liu Wei was too worried.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, and the generals who can succeed under Wu Jie's tent are almost without that kind of small-minded people, even if it is Yan An, just because he likes to argue does not mean that he is a bad person.

Although Liu Wei was arranging the entire battle plan, it doesn't mean that he will assign the easiest work to himself.In fact, the combat mission of Liu Wei's team should be the most difficult and dangerous, because they are the first wave to contact the enemy, and they are also the first wave to try to use trenches to attack the Golden Cavalry from a distance.

In a sense, Liu Wei's arrangement is not only a manifestation of his confidence in his plan, but also a proof to other generals who have doubts in their hearts. If Liu Wei's own plan is not the first to implement If so, how did the other generals believe that Liu Wei's plan would succeed?
That's why Liu Wei arranged such a task for himself. He believed that he would be able to complete it, and that Wu Anbang and others could understand it.

However, when he went to talk about it, the reaction of Wu Anbang and others was quite unexpected.

"What? The first team to fight against the golden soldiers?"

"You don't need to dig mud? My lord, this arrangement of yours is really selfish!"

Liu Wei couldn't believe the elation shown by the two of them. Could it be that they don't have to worry, what if the plan fails?

"How could it fail? My lord, this subordinate has followed you since Xianyang City, and I have never seen a time when your master's plan failed!"

Wu Anbang answered Liu Wei confidently, and Chai Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's get ready. The rain has stopped. We will set off in the afternoon and go to the ambush site!"
