Horse on the World

Chapter 304 Morale (2)

Tens of thousands of slaves walked through the defense line in front of the east gate with difficulty, and appeared in front of the two armies. On the position of the defenders, the cold light flickered, and the horseshoes burst out. Wang Qinian's infantry battalions also marched forward more than a hundred meters in neat steps, shouting and rattling, and led by the chariot, they quickly formed a spear formation, and the slaves who had just escaped from the cage were quickly formed into a spear formation. They guard behind.

The slaves first supported each other and strode forward, slowly turned into a trot, and finally turned into a gallop, forward, there is the hope of life.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help frowning. It would be a joke to let them disrupt the army, "Leave two passages, let these comrades pass, and warn them to disrupt the army formation!" At this time, Nuoqia, who picked up Neufu, did not leave, but stood in the middle of the defensive position, staring at this side with piercing eyes.Li Qing sneered, even if these slaves disrupt my army formation, if you want to fight back, you have to break my pawns first.

"Stop, stop!" Dozens of soldiers with loud voices shouted in unison, and as the soldiers set up their spears, a forest of guns appeared on the road ahead of the slaves, "Stop all, go back from the passage, or you will be killed!" Wuhe!" The shouts of dozens of soldiers still had an effect, and the rushing slaves finally slowed down. Taking this opportunity, a group of Dingzhou soldiers rushed over and began to organize the formation of the slaves. Identify whether there are spies mixed in. Dingzhou army killed Han Ningqi in the chaos. Now this kind of thing can't happen to Dingzhou people, even if it doesn't threaten Li Qing, even if they assassinate a General, it is also a very annoying thing.

"Thank you for your life, Marshal!" I don't know if the slave opened his voice and howled desperately. All the slaves turned their heads together and looked at the bright red Li character banner in the distance, sitting on the horse. That mighty general.

"Thank you for your life, Marshal!" Countless people shouted after him. The people in the first row knelt down and kowtowed again and again, and the people behind followed suit. Pound the garlic.

Seeing the tears on the face and the fanatical gratitude in the eyes of these disheveled and haggard slaves, Li Qing couldn't help but feel deeply. These people were exiled in a foreign land and suffered all kinds of torture. In the final analysis, they were the people in power It was caused by inaction back then, but now, you just saved their lives. Their youth, their health, and their wealth have all been turned into fly ash, but these simple people are still very grateful.

Li Qing rode his horse and wanted to go among these slaves, but Tang Hu immediately reached out and took his rein, "Commander, you can't go there!"

"Why?" Li Qing said angrily, "Didn't you see my people kowtow to me? I'm going to have a few words with them!"

"No!" Tang Hu couldn't say anything, but held the rein tightly, "You can't go over."

Wang Qinian on the side also said: "Commander, you can't go there, these slaves haven't been identified yet, maybe there are barbarian assassins hidden in them, Commander, you forgot how Han Ningqi was assassinated by Director Qingfeng Is it?"

Li Qing let out a sigh of hatred, "I'll say a few words, and you let the soldiers shout out together."

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Qinian immediately recruited a group of soldiers with loud voices.

"Comrades, you have suffered!" Li Qing said loudly.Dozens of soldiers immediately acted as megaphones, roaring out Li Qing's words.

"We are here, you are saved! Don't worry about your future, Dingzhou will give you land, cattle for farming, houses for you, and help you find your relatives!"

Every time Li Qing said a word, the soldiers roared loudly, so that tens of thousands of people in the army could hear clearly.

"Thank you for being able to survive until our arrival. You are very important to Dingzhou! Your relatives need you, and I, Li Qing, also need you. Dingzhou needs you to contribute your own strength. Let us make Dingzhou Build it so powerfully that it will be impossible for anyone to plunder and enslave you again!"

"Long live the Marshal!" the slaves shouted ecstatically. It was beyond their surprise to be able to come back alive. Now the Marshal actually promised to help them rebuild their homeland. Is there anything happier than this!I don't know who it is, but as soon as this sentence of long live is spoken, there is a roar of long live like a tsunami, first from the slaves, then from the soldiers.

Li Qing frowned slightly, was Long Live just shouting nonsense?Princess Qingcheng is still in the camp now!

"The Dingzhou army is mighty! The Dingzhou army is victorious!" Li Qing raised his arms and shouted!
In an instant, the voice of Long Live turned into the roar of Wan Sheng under Li Qing's leadership.

"Is the order to pass through the army in an orderly manner, and are the preparations for the slaves behind?" Li Qing asked.

"Don't worry, Marshal, everything is ready. This group of slaves will be repaired today, and will return to Dingzhou tomorrow together with the slaves who arrived earlier!" Wang Qinian said.

Seeing batches of slaves leave the battlefield orderly along the passage, Li Qing couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Looking back at the enemy's position at the east gate, Nuo Qi'a had disappeared without a trace.

"Father, dad, is it really you?" A voice suddenly came out from the fortified army formation, a young soldier suddenly howled loudly, dropped the spear in his hand, and came out more and more, hugging a The skinny old man fell to his knees and cried loudly.

The old man opened his cloudy eyes, and after only one glance, his eyes shone with light. He shook the armored soldier in front of him, "Little Leopard, it's really you, you're not dead, you're still alive! Oh my god, Little Leopard , you will never see your mother again!"

The father and son cried with each other in their arms. At the same time, dozens of Dingzhou soldiers recognized their relatives between the two passages.

"Iron Leopard, return to the team!" a captain shouted angrily.Iron Leopard hugged his father and cried bitterly, ignoring the captain's order at all.

"Iron Leopard, what crime should I have for disrupting our army formation! Take it down!" Two soldiers came out in response. Although their eyes were red, they still cut the Iron Leopard's arms back without hesitation, and twisted it to the ground .

"Master Jun, Lord Jun, please spare my leopard!" The old man looked at the school lieutenant in panic, knelt down and begged.

"Master, the state owns the laws of the country, and the army has military regulations. The iron leopard violated the military law and disrupted our army formation. If you don't punish him, how can you stop our military discipline in Dingzhou? Please go over quickly, sir!"

Li Qing watched the dozens of scenes of tragedies and comedies that took place in the passage, and asked in a low voice, "Huzi, how should these people be punished?"

Wang Qinian said: "Commander, this is the rule you set back then. Before the battle, those who disrupt our army formation and do not obey orders will kill Wuhe!"

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Today is a day of great joy, the murder is unknown, bring them here!"

"Yes!" Wang Qinian issued an order, and in a short while, dozens of soldiers who violated military discipline were turned away in front of Li Qing, and the dozens of slaves who came with them were probably their relatives.

"I have seen the commander!" Dozens of soldiers were pushed to the ground, and the accompanying military judge strode forward and bowed to Li Qing, "Commander, 32 soldiers who seriously violated military discipline have been brought here."

"Well, military judge, how about their crimes according to the law?" Li Qing asked.

"Return to Commander, before the big battle, go out without authorization, disrupt our army formation, and be executed according to the law!" The military judge said loudly with no expression on his face.

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of slaves who had just found their loved ones were overwhelmed with joy, their knees softened and they fell to the ground, "Marshal, please spare me!"

"What do you have to say?" Li Qing looked at dozens of criminal soldiers.Most of the faces of dozens of people were ashen. They had just experienced the great joy of finding their loved ones, but in an instant there was great sorrow, and they went through heaven and hell all over the place in a short time.

"Commander, Commander!" Iron Leopard struggled to raise his head: "Iron Leopard violated military discipline, dare not ask Commander for mercy, but Commander, please let me be the first to rush up to kill the barbarian, and die on the battlefield! Even though the iron leopard dies, he has no regrets!"

"He's a good guy!" Li Qing clapped his hands, then turned to ask the military judge, "Military judge, these people should be punished for their crimes, and their feelings are pitiful, can you forgive me!"

The military law army bowed and said, "Commander, kindness comes from the top. The commander wants to forgive them, and the last general has nothing to say. It's just this example. In the future, people will inevitably follow suit. It will not benefit our military discipline in Dingzhou!"

Li Qing nodded, jumped off his horse, pulled out his waist knife, and said loudly: "Brothers, although these soldiers have violated our military discipline and should be punished for their crimes, they are pitiful. Today, I, Li Qing, will beg for mercy for them! He reached out and grabbed a strand of his hair, swiped the knife, the knife broke through the hair, and stretched out his hand to sprinkle the broken hair in the air, "I will cut the knife to replace them, and let them perform meritorious deeds, okay?"

"Master, be merciful!" The soldiers around Li Qing bowed and shouted loudly.

"But it's just today's case. If there is another offender, he will never be forgiven lightly. Do you have any objections?" Li Qing said solemnly.

"It's all according to the command of the commander-in-chief, and we have no objection!"

"Very good!" Li Qing choked, returned the saber to its sheath, and said loudly: "Death is inevitable, but life is inevitable. Come here, give each person twenty lashes, as a respectful example!"

The prisoners who knelt on the ground narrowly escaped from death. They were so pleasantly surprised that they couldn't help crying, and their relatives even cried bitterly. There were two soldiers who served one, and stripped off the jackets of the prisoners in twos and twos. , shouted: "Kneel down!"

The 32 soldiers knelt on the snow and straightened their backs.Behind them, 32 soldiers held long riding whips and shouted: "Brother, hold on, don't get down!" With a flick of their wrists, there was a crisp snap, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on the backs of the 32 soldiers. , the body trembled, but immediately straightened again.

"Willing to die for the Marshal!" Iron Leopard gritted his teeth and held back the pain, and shouted loudly.

There was another crack of the whip.

"Willing to die for the commander in chief!" This time the 32 soldiers howled together.Their relatives clenched their fists tightly and held back their tears.

There was another snap, this time, not only the 32 prisoners, but even the surrounding soldiers shouted together.

"Willing to die for the commander in chief!"

The call signs quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers once again roared in unison.

After the twenty lashes were over, the 32 people had turned into blood gourds, and the medical soldiers on one side rushed forward to apply medicine to the offenders and bandage their wounds.Li Qing galloped to the front of the group, looked at the iron leopard leading the way, and said with a smile, "Well, you are very good. If you can survive this battle, come to me and be your personal guard!"

　After taking the medicine, I still feel quite uncomfortable. I may only be able to maintain the speed of changing once a day for the past few days. Forgive me, children's shoes!Wait for your body to heal before bursting out!
