Eight hundred and twentieth chapters grass (thirty-three)
"Duke Wei! No!"
In the Wagang Army formation, Xu Shiji knelt down on one knee and choked with sobs. He was anxious and a little bit of blame in his voice, and shouted at Li Mi.
Unlike Cheng Yaojin and Zhai Rang's rough and upright men, Xu Shiji has always been meticulous. He is not only cautious in military use, but also abides by his duties in his life and has never been unrestrained.
It is precisely because of this that he cannot get along with those men who act casually and treat willfulness as generous.
He had long seen that Li Mi had great ambitions and would sooner or later become an emperor.
No matter what your background is, once you become an emperor, you must have dignity and dignity and establish your own rules.
If you still rely on your past friendship and don’t take the emperor seriously, the result will probably be bad.
In order to avoid this, Xu Shiji paid attention to his sense of duty at this time and was always respectful to Li Mi.
When discussing the military, it is natural that it is said and refuted. However, as long as Li Mi makes a decision, Xu Shiji will obey and will never contradict or argue.
This is the first case of asking Li Mi to take back his life in public at this moment.
Li Mi was standing behind the drum beating stage at this moment, holding the drumsticks in her hand, and there was no joy or anger on her face. She just beat the drumsticks in her hand to the cowhide drum surface.
It seemed that I didn't hear Xu Shiji's words, and I ignored them at all.
Neither agree nor object.
Beside him, there were twenty-four big drums on both sides, behind each drum, one standing drummer and two sword-holder soldiers.
These are the command centers of the Wagang Army and the heart of the entire army's battlefield dispatch.
At present, the army mainly relies on drums, horns and flags to convey orders. Therefore, these drummers are extremely important to the entire army, despite their humble status.
In other words, once war begins, these drummers can affect the advancement and retreat of the army, and may influence the victory or defeat when they are close.
The army must prevent them from being captured by local spies and find out the secrets of the drum and horn from home.
We must also beware of these people's changing positions and deliberately beat the wrong drums and tricks to harm ourselves when we are in battle.
Therefore, behind every drum officer, there must be a military guard. If there is any mistake, it will be cut off as a spy and killed with one knife, and there will be no room for maneuver.
The basis for these drummers to convey military orders is the drummers in Li Mi’s location.
The drum officer at this position is the leader of all the officials. His drum beats represent the orders of the army. They advance and retreat and gallop left and right, and judge all by the sound of the drums. Others follow the example and pass on the drum horn of this person to dispatch the three armies.
As the chief general of the three armies, he should be in the command position to dispatch the three armies and deal with the situation on the battlefield at any time.
Furthermore, this is also a necessary means to maintain morale. After all, those who join the army are inevitably guilty and are always afraid of being thrown away by the commander.
Therefore, most of the time, the location of the flag flag and the position of the main general can directly affect the morale and fighting spirit of the frontline soldiers.
If the Lord and General are there, then everyone will have hope of sacrificing their lives to fight. At least the officials are there, and the situation will not be much worse.
On the other hand, if the main general is not seen, the soldiers will likely lose their confidence and even scatter.
So many times, as the head coach, you can be incompetent or not without courage. The minimum requirement is to stand where soldiers on the front line can see them and give their soldiers confidence and morale.
As a child of a martial arts family, Li Mi followed Yang Xuangan to rebel. He knew Taoluo and had seen the battle formation, so he naturally knew the importance of it.
Since he joined Wagang, he would basically go to the front line in the fight, and even took the lead in charge.
It is precisely because of this courage and the correct grasp of the changes in the battlefield that he was able to conquer the heroes of the Green Forest in a short period of time and sit firmly on the throne of the Wagang Monarch.
He ran to beat drums during a war, and it happened twice.
The last time he did this was when he fought against the Xiaoguo Army.
Previously, the Wagang Army was exhausted by harassment tactics. In the end, Li Mi personally promoted the morale, but in the end, the battle was successful and the Xiaoguo Army was removed from the world.
The old story is repeated today, but the retreat drum is ringing.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to advance and retreat even more difficult.
The battle between the two armies is not a competition. One side wants to retreat or not is a different story.
Many times the so-called retreat actually means abandonment and sacrifice.
With the determination of a hero to cut off his arm, he abandoned some of the troops in exchange for the retreat of the large troops. This is the best result.
Therefore, Li Mi’s withdrawal drum at this time was not as simple as retreating, but meant abandoning the troops who had fought before and letting them die. Who can tolerate this?
"Who dares!"
"Which birdman dares to beat the drum!"
Beside Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, and Pei Xingyan all glared at him and shouted, and several rude generals of Wagang Army had rushed towards the drum officers.
They dared not provoke Li Mi directly, but they still had a way to deal with these drummers.
However, before their bodies could rush over, the soldiers responsible for supervising the drum officer had already drawn their swords and glared at these generals.
"Do you want an order to resist the army?"
Li Mi spoke without looking back and said with her back to everyone.
The drumsticks in his hand stopped beating, but they still held them tightly and never relaxed: "I know that you are concerned about your life, so don't I think about the meaning of brothers and feet?
But now we have to think about the entire Wagang army and the lives of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers! Is it only Cheng Yaojin, Sun Changle's life is life, and the lives of others are not?
If you are determined to protect him, you will do whatever you want, kill the orphan first, and then let you do it!"
As soon as he said that, Li Mi stopped talking, but waved the drumstick and issued a second order to retreat.
The generals did not dare to move anymore, and looked at Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong and others.
When Li Mi said this, she actually expressed the bottom line.
It doesn’t matter how you get along with each other on weekdays, but there is no need to make a fuss on the battlefield, military orders are military orders.
Regardless of whether the following people agree or not, they must obey as long as they order it. This is the rule in the army.
If you come forward to stop it at this time, it will actually become enemies with Li Mi, and it can even be considered a rebellion.
These Green Forest people are lawless on weekdays, and they rely on their large numbers of people and power and do not involve the bottom line. At most, they will be punished and will never lose their heads.
It is precisely because they have this confidence in their heart that they dare to do whatever they want.
Now that it is time to die, everyone has to consider the weight.
At least for myself, I don’t have the ability to compete with Li Mi. If Xu Shiji or Qin Qiong comes out to take the lead, there may be something else to say.
But these people didn't say anything, just looked at Li Mi's back as he was beating the drum and was silent.
In fact, this matter cannot be simply blamed on Li Mi. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Just as Xu Le and others were fighting, new variables appeared in the entire Mangshan battlefield.
First, Xu Le and Han made a battle with Cheng Yaojin and Sun Changle, causing the two troops to lose their highest command.
This is actually very abnormal. After all, the troops have to rely on command to exert their combat effectiveness. The main general goes to fight with people. This is an irresponsible behavior no matter how you look at it.
At this time, it is a competition between military generals. It depends on which side has a high level of military generals and strong adaptability, and whoever is likely to win.
In this regard, Xuanjia Cavalry has innate advantages.
These soldiers were originally composed of Xuanjia generals. In other words, they were Xuanjia officers, and any of them had different numbers of soldiers under them. When it comes to changes in the face of the enemy and command and dispatch, they were definitely better than ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, in the melee, the inner army is actually the one who suffers losses.
Although the inner army generals fought to the death to resist the command, they were difficult to coordinate with each other and could only fight on their own and could not give full play to the advantages of the military formation. Instead, they were easily crushed by the Black Armored Iron Cavalry.
If this is the case alone, it would not pose too much threat to Li Mi.
But at this moment, another bad news came. Wang Shichong had already received news of reinforcements from somewhere and brought an elite force out of the camp to attack.
These people were brave and fearless in their lives. The inner army could not resist the battle and had already broken through two preset lines of defense.
Then another bad news came, and the scout found that smoke and dust were covering the sky in the distance, and there seemed to be a large group of people acting.
The direction of his action was not Beimang Mountain, but trying to cross the river to attack Jinyong City. This is why Li Mi was so panicked.
Jinyong City is the foundation of Wagang, where the wealth and family members of the army are all here.
Moreover, Jin Yong and Li Yang are mutually supportive, and once the two cities are lost, it is difficult to preserve them.
The capital that the Wagang Army relied on to dominate in troubled times was the grain of Luokou and Liyang.
If military rations are lost, Li Mi will become Yuan Benchu, who was the former Guandu, and will collapse without fighting.
Li Mi can ignore Wang Shichong's remaining soldiers, the elite soldiers of the Xuanjia Cavalry.
But he had to care about Li Yuan's 60,000 troops.
Since the Xuanjia Cavalry entered the battlefield, Li Mi was worried about where the 60,000 people were.
The more I can't find the trace, the more I feel uneasy, for fear that they will suddenly attack me with a fatal blow.
The appearance of this team gave Li Mi a fatal blow.
Obviously, he believed that this team was Li Yuan’s main force, so he hurriedly retreated and temporarily gave up Beim.
It’s not that his considerations are unreasonable. After all, grain is the foundation of the army, and the ones living in Jinyong City are the families of the generals of the entire army. Among them, Li Mi himself has not many family members, mainly the relatives of the generals present.
He led his troops back to protect everyone's food, and there was nothing wrong with this.
But the problem is that there are Cheng Yaojin, Sun Changle and two thousand inner army on the battlefield now.
There must be a statement about their life and death! Xu Shiji's figure remained unchanged and shouted loudly: "Mr. Wei thinks twice! The military situation is not accurate, and now he is too anxious to retreat! Li Yuan and his son are in harmony with Wang Shichong, and they cannot help each other.
The so-called army must be suspicious soldiers. With the order of Duke Wei, our entire army will rush forward and will definitely kill Wang Shichong and Xu Le!”
Li Mi did not answer and continued to beat the drum hard.
His drum sounds were not only transmitted to the inner army in front, but also to the entire Wagang army.
As the drums moved, the entire Wagang army began to move, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to Jinyong City.
The drum sounded the sky, but Xu Shiji's voice still penetrated the rumbling drum sound and sent it into Li Mi's ears.
Every sound is blood, every word is tears.
Words were like arrows, thrusting straight into the heart. Li Mi felt that the drumsticks in her hand were so heavy. Every time she hit, she would exhaust all her energy, and she had no choice but to stop.
I was afraid that the military order would be too late, and the nightmare of the past would happen again.
