Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119
Sacrifice the flag, point out the generals, and select soldiers to go to battle, which can be regarded as a common war ceremony in this year.

In fact, this is a means of boosting morale, clarifying the position of the general to the entire army, and letting the army's government orders pass. For example, offering sacrifices to the flag is a sacrifice to the gods. .

In this day and age, this is also a necessary superstitious means.

If there is a change in the sky when the flag is sacrificed, such as rising clouds and smoke, or shining light on the handsome flag, it means good luck, and the troops will be blessed by heaven, and the battle will be won.

If there is a sudden wind that breaks the flagpole of the commander-in-chief flag, or even blows the commander-in-chief flag away, it will be a bad omen, and the morale of the entire army will be shaken. This seems to have happened in history books, especially in novels There are many performances.

After the flag sacrifice, the ordering of generals is the process of formally appointing the leading generals. It is necessary to distribute the general flags of the leading generals and deputy generals to them, so that on the battlefield, soldiers can follow the general flags and fight.

This time Zhu Wei sent troops, mainly to give Pang Yan, Ling Cao, Mu Lan, and Wang Yuyan under his tent the general flag of the army. Pang Yan and Ling Cao are the chief and deputy generals who can lead the [-] soldiers alone. , is the main force to lead troops into battle.

And Mu Lan was the commander of the guards next to Zhu Wei and the deputy general of all the auxiliary troops of the rear army, while Wang Yuyan became the chief general of the rear army, in charge of all the auxiliary troops and various logistical affairs.

As for the allied forces of clan soldiers from various families in Lingyang County, Zhu Wei just sent a general flag to the county lieutenant of Lingyang County. The result of the discussions in the county government temple.

As for the magistrate of Lingyang County, he was ordered to be in charge of the logistics support work. It was regarded as a helper for Wang Yuyan, and he still stayed in Lingyang County, delivering supplies to the front line at any time.

The ceremony of sacrificing the flag and pointing out the general went smoothly.

Although Zhu Wei failed to find a few thorns who could kill chickens and monkeys to sacrifice the flag, he still slaughtered three animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep to sacrifice the flag. After that, the handsome flag with the word "Wei" was officially hoisted, and then began Beat the drums and order the soldiers, and distribute the flags.

After all the general flags were distributed, Zhu Wei began to read out the military law before the battle, but he referred to Jiangdong's Seventeenth Prohibition 54 cuts. Army, cheating army, obscene army, slandering army, treacherous army, stealing army, exploring army, backing army, ruthless army, chaotic army, deceitful army, cheating army, mistaken army, as for 54 cutting too many, I won’t go into details here up.

Although these military laws are very cumbersome, it is estimated that few people know what the Seventeenth Ban and the 54th Cut are, but Zhu Wei has no choice but now, his subordinates are all soldiers and new soldiers, so there is no need to scare them with strict laws, they may appear at any time What's happening.

And Jiangdong's 54th ban and [-] beheading should also be the military law inherited by the Sun family from Sun Wu, the sage of soldiers, so it is okay for Zhu Wei to use it temporarily.

Let's start with strictness. Of course, the first time to officially send troops to fight must be more serious.

Anyway, every time Zhu Wei read a sentence, some loud guards around him shouted a sentence, which was transmitted to the ears of all the soldiers under the city wall like a loudspeaker. Trembling and trembling.

After the 54 prohibitions and 7000 beheadings were finished, Zhu Wei could clearly feel the [-] to [-] people below from the top of the city gate, as if they all stood up straight, and there seemed to be an awe-inspiring aura in the sun that made the sun become Dazed.

After finishing these ceremonial things, Zhu Wei appointed Ling Cao as the vanguard in advance according to the strategy discussed with Wang Yuyan, and led two thousand soldiers to set off first, to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, to find the way for Zhu Wei's army Meet the enemy.

So Ling Cao answered "No" loudly under the city wall, waved his general flag and commanded two thousand soldiers, walked to the temporary barracks, brought all kinds of supplies that had been prepared, and took the lead in dispatching troops.

Then Zhu Wei ordered Pang Yan to command the remaining [-] soldiers on Zhu Wei's side as the left wing, and the county lieutenant of Lingyang County to command the [-] soldiers of the private coalition army in Lingyang County to be the right wing, and each returned to the camp to carry the corresponding supplies before dispatching troops.

Pang Yan and the county lieutenant of Lingyang County also promised "No" under the city wall, waved their flags, and led the troops to leave under the city wall.

Then Zhu Wei appointed Wang Yuyan to go down to lead the rear army composed of all the auxiliary soldiers to prepare to send troops. Wang Yuyan agreed and went down the gate tower first, waving the general flag and pushing the more than 5000 auxiliary soldiers who transported logistics supplies, and more than 1000. All the soldiers of the tiger chariot were taken away.

In the end, there were only about a thousand personal guards led by Zhu Wei and Mu Lan on the gate tower of Lingyang County.

Zhu Wei took Mulan down the city gate tower, found the Magistrate Lu of Lingyang County, and told him a few words, let him lead the county soldiers of Lingyang County to guard Lingyang County and so on. He took his personal guards, held high Zhu Wei's "Wei" flag, and went to the temporary coalition camp outside Lingyang County.

Of course, groups of soldiers in this coalition camp at this moment have already lined up and marched along the official road to the east of Lingyang County.

More than 1 people marched forward one by one, and the relatively neat formation of the army reassured the common people in Lingyang County. It spread throughout Lingyang County.

However, although Zhu Wei has officially dispatched troops now, there is no official news about the location of the Zulang Mountain Yue bandits he is going to face.

Although Zhu Wei knew through various news channels that there were at least 5 to [-] Shanyue bandit soldiers dispatched by Zu Lang initially, at least [-] to [-] Shanyue bandit soldiers were elite Shanyue soldiers under Zu Lang's account, and the other three About [-] people are composed of thieves from the Yue sect, large and small, who followed Zu Lang.

And Zu Lang came all the way from Jing County to Lingyang County, and he also raided all the way, so many villages have been attacked by Zu Lang's Shanyue bandits, and the people in the villages were coerced by Zu Lang into rebels. Most of the wealthy households have also been robbed of their wealth.

Judging from the latest news, Zu Lang's army strength seems to have reached as many as [-], and the Yue bandit soldiers at Zulang Mountain, which is the closest to Lingyang County, may arrive in about a day's journey.

However, Zu Lang, as the Shanyue bandit army, these tens of thousands of people did not directly follow the official road to Lingyang County to kill them.

Most of the time, Zu Lang's army seems to have gone over mountains and mountains to hide their tracks, so to discover their movements, sometimes it is a bit of a hindrance.

Even if the local families in Lingyang County searched for the whereabouts of the Zulang Mountain Yue bandit army through various connections, it was not so easy to get accurate information.

Zu Lang's army is huge, and it seems that he started to divide his troops not long after he dispatched, so it is difficult to know where Zu Lang's main force is...
