In the army, Cheng Mao was always known for loving his soldiers as his own son. After every battle, Cheng Mao would patrol the army, comfort the injured soldiers, and register the dead soldiers.
It is true that the soldiers are willing to believe Cheng Mao.
It was just like this. The granary was burned. Although the soldiers were panicked, they did not mutiny.
This is Cheng Mao¡¯s prestige.
Cheng Mao's eyes were sharp and he said again: "Soldiers, we still have four days of food. For the time being, we will not be short of food, and our only chance is to directly attack Lu Shengqi and break Linzi within these four days."
"There is plenty of food in Linzi City."
"As long as Linzi City is broken, we can get food and reverse this unfavorable situation."
"As long as we defeat Linzi City, we will be equivalent to defeating Lu Shengqi. Although our granary was burned, we have still made great contributions and are still heroes. The burning of the granary will not be held accountable again."
"As long as we break Linzi, we don't have to withdraw our troops and we won't be held accountable."
"We will gain a foothold again."
Cheng Mao's voice became more and more passionate, and he said: "Of course, many people also said that we have no food and are in a disadvantageous position. Yes, we do not have a large amount of food, but in four days, for us, it has been enough."
"We have a hundred thousand people."
"The reason why the attack was blocked yesterday was because only 8,000 elite troops were sent to attack."
"And today, once we attack again, we will go all out without any hesitation. We will kill them all and attack Lu Shengqi's Linzi City."
Cheng Mao¡¯s words were beguiling, saying: ¡°As long as we break Linzi City in the end, we will win. In this battle, we will stabilize the situation.¡±
The current situation is actually very unfavorable.
But in order to reverse the defeat, Cheng Mao had to take surprise and make dangerous moves.
Cheng Mao said seductively: "Our military strength far exceeds Lu Shengqi's military strength. Lu Shengqi's military strength has always been insufficient. Especially after the continuous fighting, Lu Shengqi's military strength is now only 30,000 or 40,000."
"There are a hundred thousand of us."
"It can be said that we have many soldiers and generals, and we are strong. Just imagine, are three or four of us unable to win even if we kill one of Lu Shengqi's soldiers?"
"In the past, it was for the sake of stability that we kept fighting and suppressing Lu Shengqi. Since it doesn't work now, let's change our strategy. Now, we will kill directly and determine the outcome in one battle."
Cheng Mao said: "We can definitely win this battle. Therefore, I will fight to the end."
"Fight to the end!"
Liu Xun stood in the crowd and shouted loudly.
Generals like Liu Xun are all direct descendants of Cheng Mao, so they can only follow Cheng Mao.
Cheng Mao fell, and they had a hard time.
So when Cheng Mao fought to the death, they also fought to the death. Therefore, when Liu Xun started shouting to fight to the death, all the generals also followed suit. Immediately afterwards, many soldiers began to echo and shout.
"Fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
More and more soldiers kept shouting.
The shouts came and went.
Cheng Mao saw this scene in his eyes and nodded slightly. Many of the current soldiers, in fact, there are still quite a few soldiers who actually have doubts and worries in their hearts.
Even some soldiers will definitely retreat and be unwilling to continue fighting.
Cheng Mao was already prepared.
He is confident that he can persuade this group of soldiers to stay and let all the soldiers fight with all their strength.
Cheng Mao waited for a while, then raised his hand and lowered it to signal everyone to quiet down. At this moment, no one spoke anymore, and everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Mao again.
Cheng Mao was full of energy and shouted: "Soldiers, I know that if you stay and fight, there is indeed a considerable risk; if you stay and fight, you may even die on the battlefield."
"However, there are no immortals on the battlefield. On the battlefield, only by fighting can one achieve meritorious deeds."
"I promise that as long as Lu Shengqi is captured, I will let you and others loot Linzi City for three days. The entire Linzi County will also be allowed to be looted by you. All the money and items stolen will belong to you. .¡±
"This is the promise I make to you."
Cheng Mao's face was extremely cold and solemn.
Such an order is actually extremely rare. For the government, giving such an order to the soldiers was tantamount to selling out all the local people. Because once officers and soldiers turn into thieves and loot, countless people will inevitably die tragically, and countless people will be massacred.
This will lead to tragedy in the world.
Cheng Mao is now forced into a desperate situation.
It is impossible for him to retreat. Once he retreats, he will definitely be questioned by the court, which may range from dismissal from office to, at worst, beheading to serve as a warning to others.
So Cheng Mao was unwilling to retreat.
Cheng Mao also knew that soldiers in the army must have selfish motives. Many people were already panicking because of the food and fodder matter. Now, if he wanted to retain this group of soldiers and inspire the fierce nature in the soldiers, he could only do this.
At this moment, all the soldiers suddenly became excited.
Every soldier was excited.
Linzi City is the administrative seat of Qingzhou and the most prosperous area. Even though the city of Linzi is gradually withering away, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so at least it is still relatively wealthy.
When they enter the city, they will definitely be able to rob countless good things from Linzi City.
So the soldiers were excited.
Liu Xun and other direct descendants of Cheng Mao frowned one by one.
Because the current situation is not good, if the soldiers are allowed to rob the people, once the news gets out, it will affect Cheng Mao's reputation on the one hand, and on the other hand, if the court really wants to accuse him, this is the reason for the inquiry.
However, after Liu Xun and others thought about it, they also sighed.
They have no choice.
At this point, Liu Xun and others could only follow Cheng Mao all the way.
Cheng Mao noticed the change in the expressions of Liu Xun and others, and he also knew why Liu Xun and others looked worried. But Cheng Mao couldn't care so much. He looked at the excited soldiers and finally calmed down.
Military spirit is still available.
The army can still fight.
Cheng Mao relaxed and let the soldiers cheer loudly and let the soldiers shout loudly. After a short time, the soldiers gradually calmed down, and many people looked at Cheng Mao again, waiting for Cheng Mao to speak.
Cheng Mao said quietly, waited for everyone to be quiet, and then ordered: "Now, the cook starts to bury the pot to make rice. He took out the meat and cooked it. This morning, the soldiers had a full meal, and then the army set off and headed towards Linzi. Today. , break Linzi and kill Lu Shengqi."
"Break Linzi and kill Lu Shengqi!"
Liu Xun and others began to shout.
"Break Linzi and kill Lu Shengqi!"
"Break Linzi and kill Lu Shengqi!"
The soldiers¡¯ shouts kept coming one after another.
The entire army became completely noisy.
All the soldiers were very excited.
All the soldiers have been stimulated by the conditions given by Cheng Mao. Everyone thought that after breaking Linzi, they would loot the city and let off some steam. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
