058 Officers and Soldiers
"Sir, the big thing is wrong. The rebels in Gaoxiang County have crossed the wilderness and arrived in Dashi Town!"
Han Li, who was reorganizing the surrendered troops of the government office, selected several "reliable" scouts to be released under the order of Richard, and inspected several major official roads near Gaoxiang County in Dashi Town.
The army of thousands of people could not hide it at all, so the news quickly came back.
Due to the overflow of green skin, in this world, humans have formed a circle of living around each town. Except for areas with fertile land and transportation hubs, large areas of wilderness are rarely crowded, and even inns are rarely set up.
The green-skinned orcs that grew from somewhere are the best cleaners, allowing the lives of widowed humans to be threatened at any time.
Although this makes the connection between different towns more expensive, and makes humans have to rely on key transportation points and fertile arable land and pastures to live, it also allows people to passively join each other to keep warm, which is more conducive to the imperial court's population management.
This is why the construction of villages and towns is relatively close.
Of course, in order to feed as much as possible, there is often a large wilderness between towns. Except for the built official roads, the rest of the areas are basically deserted, and it is a paradise for wild beasts and green skins.
When the army advances, whether for the convenience of logistics transportation or safety, they will choose to go on the official road, otherwise it will be very painful to encounter a bunch of green-skinned people while walking. Those scattered green-skinned orcs have no brains. If they are allowed to discover humans, no matter how big the gap in strength is, they will launch a brainless Waaaaaaaaaagh~~~!
Faced with these unreasonable green-skinned orcs who have inexplicable pleasure in fighting and killing, even the human army felt a headache.
This time Gaoxiang County came to pacify Dashi Town, so naturally he didn't want to be consumed by the small green skin along the way before he could reach Dashi Town...
Since the arrival of Green Skin in this world, few human generals are willing to use tactics such as mountain ravine attacks. Any behavior that does not follow the official road is likely to cause the human army to encounter the green-skin tribe that emerged inexplicably. As a result, before facing the enemy, they would consume each other with the brainless green-skinned ones.
If you pass by a large mountain jungle, you may even encounter a mature green-skinned tribe. If the army is not strong enough, you may be destroyed by the green-skinned tribe that suddenly appears before you see the enemy!
This leads to the fact that human army often likes to follow the rules and follow the rules and walk on the official road, and would rather risk being easily controlled by the enemy than choose an unfamiliar wilderness road...
Therefore, even though the scouts sent by Han Li were relatively amateurs, they discovered traces of the army in Gaoxiang County in advance and rushed back to report in time.
Han Li reported at the "routine summary meeting" led by Richard. After Qian Sen and Hao Jianren heard the news, their legs became weak and they sat down on the ground with a loud bang...
The two on the ground looked at each other with tacit understanding under the gaze of everyone...
Well, he is the one who shares the same illness!
However, these two people are both very thick-skinned. They each found an excuse for being uncomfortable and stood up again with their weak legs...
The expressions on the other people were not much different from Qian Sen and Hao Jianrenqiang. Even Han Li, who had seen many fights, had a sad expression on his face, and he almost spoke directly to Richard and suggested to "run away quickly"...
Among these people, Song Zhicheng was the calmest. He was the first person to clearly realize how "Niu Bi" Richard was, and he also watched all the way up close to how Richard overturned the once giant, Dashi Town, in just a few days...
Because of this, Song Zhicheng is now numb and is full of confidence in Richard's ability to create miracles. Therefore, no matter how serious the situation is, he just needs to look at Richard's light and calm eyes and feel at ease!
Since Richard, a perverted Taoist priest, did not say anything discouraged, he would definitely win.
From defeating a hundred patrols to taking Taoist soldiers alone to pacify the werewolf tribe, and finally defeating all the main field forces in Dashi Town, even if Richard now says that he can take over the Tang Dynasty and replace him, perhaps Song Zhicheng will believe 80%...
It can be said that only Song Zhicheng is truly considered to be Richard's own people now, and the rest are just forced by the situation, and Richard has to obey with a knife...
"Everyone is on the same boat now, and it is time to work together to resist foreign enemies. Otherwise, when the army in Gaoxiang County arrives, do you think there is still a way out?"
Richard said to those who looked erratic.
The assistants selected by Song Zhicheng from Lijia Village are fine. Although these villagers who have no knowledge know that Gaoxiang County is terrible, they do not have a specific concept.
But whether it is a veteran like Qian Sen who has been in the patrol camp for several years, or a rich child like Hao Jianren, whose father is a gentry in Gaoxiang County, he knows how terrible the mobilization ability of Gaoxiang County is, let alone Han Li, the former patrol camp leader!
Therefore, Richard wanted them to know that no matter what happened, they had already had a "criminal record" in the government. Ordinary soldiers might not be held accountable, but these three people are already among the few managers under Richard. As long as the government is not blind, it is impossible for the government to see it!
How many of the bandits and rebels who have been suppressed have ended up well?
After hearing Richard's words, Hao Jianren and Qian Sen's legs became soft again. Fortunately, they had the experience of throwing in for the first time and finally did not fall down...
Han Li sighed helplessly and said to Richard: "The soldiers' emotions are very unstable, and their morale is probably not enough to fight.
Moreover, we have no city to defend. Once the army in Gaoxiang County arrives, we can only fight hard!"
Richard naturally knew how sluggish the morale of the "Ming Army" adapted from more than 800 government soldiers, and he knew how resentful he was in his heart when he was forced to do so.
However, Richard did not intend to use them as the main force in combat at all. What are he afraid of?
Richard glanced at Hao Jianren and Qian Sen, whose face was paler, and comforted him: "Don't worry, when fighting, my Taoist soldiers are naturally the main force, and the rest of the troops can just help on the battlefield.
Han Li, your team is mainly responsible for guarding those newly reorganized sergeants. If there is a chaos on the battlefield, I will ask you to take your troops to take over the sergeants with your subordinates!"
Han Li's face turned pale, he bowed and said, "I will receive the order!"
"Okay, everyone go out and prepare. I guess we will be able to decide the winner with the officers and soldiers entering Dashi Town tomorrow."
