Yang Hong shouted while rolling on the ground: "Shield protects me, go and catch the one who fires the cold arrow..."

From here, we can see that the commanded army is indeed quite different from the commanded army. When the commanded army encounters a cold arrow, everyone squats on the ground like quails and hides. But when someone commands, they know that they are protecting themselves while division of troops to fight back.

Yang Hong's servants protected him tightly, while the soldiers on the periphery raised their shields and rushed to the hiding place of Wang Er and Zhu Yuanzhang under Yang Hong's order.

Wang Er was startled by the rapid reaction of the soldiers, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already been prepared. He pulled Wang Er hard and jumped into a ditch next to him, and walked away quickly. Thirty-five elite soldiers were still scattered in the ditch. Everyone protected Zhu Yuanzhang and retreated quickly, and kept throwing down the beast clip along the way.

The soldiers ran a few steps in this direction and saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others fleeing in the ditch. Dozens of soldiers shouted and chased after him, but they didn't chase him far. Someone stepped on the beast clip and screamed and fell to the ground. Then there was a chaos in the pursuit group, and everyone stopped involuntarily. The pursuit person would even step on the clip. The risk was so great... The soldiers did not have such a fighting spirit.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er ran for a while. Seeing that the soldiers did not chase after him, Wang Er breathed a sigh of relief: "Soldiers are indeed troublesome, they react so quickly, and they are not comparable to those of the mob."

"Of course!" Zhu Yuanzhang was quite successful when he saw the soldiers, and he didn't know whether they were happy or excellent. The best was that the soldiers were enemies now. The happy thing was that his Ming Dynasty was not too bad. Although he was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers still showed considerable qualities.

Wang Er was a little depressed and whispered: "This arrow didn't hit Yang Hong. Oh, if it hit, the soldier would definitely retreat... It's a pity that he will be more careful in the future and it will be more difficult to hit."

"Don't think like this!" Zhu Yuanzhang comforted: "It is difficult to assassinate the opponent's general in this way. Look at how many times in the wars from ancient times, the general was assassinated and failed? Such cases can be counted out if you can't use up your fingers. The two arrows you have played a great role today, and you will soon see the effect."

Wang Er didn't understand very well, but in the next few days, he and the soldiers monitored the soldiers and finally understood what the two arrows played. The soldiers were walking very slowly now. Every few steps they took, they had to reconnaissance up and down, front, back, high and far, and near. They would raise shields and move forward like they were preventing some floods and beasts. Especially Yang Hong in the middle of the team, no matter what he was doing, he was following several servants around him, and the huge shields always supported in the direction where cold arrows could be shot.

Because of this kind of marching very slowly and nervously, the morale of the soldiers began to decline. No one could stand the worrying life all day long. Not only should we beware of whether there are traps under our feet, but we should also beware of cold arrows that may be shot from afar at any time. Not to mention soldiers, even the special forces soldiers of later generations could not bear such pressure for a long time.

The soldiers began to complain. The military discipline of the eight soldiers of Ziqiu was already very dispersed. When facing such pressure, the military discipline was even worse. Often, people did not listen to Yang Hong's orders and sat on the ground and refused to leave. They would stand up reluctantly with a whip. Sometimes when passing by a clear small lake, all the soldiers, even Yang Hong's servants, were unwilling to continue moving forward. Yang Hong had to stop and let the soldiers rest and camp by the lake.

Whenever Wang Er shoots a cold arrow from a distance, no matter whether it hits or not, all the soldiers will stop and stay in place for at least half a day. After confirming that there will definitely be no cold arrows around, they will slowly continue to move forward.

Whenever the morale of the soldiers was so low that they really didn't want to leave, Yang Hong was forced to say a few words to boost his morale. He probably had to turn around and there were only a few words: "Our enemy is a group of throng bandits, which are vulnerable at all. Our current difficulties all come from Huanglong Mountain. As long as we conquer the obstacles of the mountains and get under the enemy's village, we can easily wipe out the bandits, just like last year when we dealt with Zheng Yanfu, and after returning, we will be promoted and rewarded with a lot of silver. You can use them to marry a wife and have a full meal! Okay, get up and keep moving forward..."

These words had a certain effect. The soldiers were vigorously cheered up and continued to move forward under the temptation of promotion and wealth... Then, at the corner of a mountain wall, they were pitted twice by the trap set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wang Er shot a cold arrow. The soldiers' morale dropped back to freezing point again. Yang Hong was forced to stand up and give a passionate speech.

After much trouble, the soldiers' team went through countless hardships and hardships... After suffering countless grievances and bullies, they finally arrived at the foot of Zhu Yuanzhang's village after half a month...

The excited soldiers were excited when they saw the land coming, but the torture he suffered in the mountains for more than half a month was reflected in their bodies. Everyone's clothes were covered with mud and dust. Mud was condensed on the insteps of many people, and there were more than a dozen lifting frames behind the team, all of whom fell down after being plotted against in the mountains.

Even Yang Hong and Ma Qianjiu were covered in dust and looked miserable.

"Damn, I shouldn't have taken the initiative to invite troops to suppress the bandits this time!" Yang Hong couldn't help but curse: "This Huanglong Mountain is really not a place where people come. Build the camp for me. Damn, within five days, you will break the broken village and go home early."

The soldiers were actually quite happy. After working hard for more than half a month, they finally arrived at the land. They only hoped that the bandits would be as vulnerable as Zheng Yanfu, so they happily built camps.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Er, and 35 elite soldiers, including Ma Xiaotian, had already returned to the village. Like the soldiers, they were also covered in dust and exhausted. They had been playing in the mountains with the soldiers for more than half a month, but they had not had a good sleep. The clothes they had not changed for most of the month, and were covered with dirt and dust.

As soon as he returned to the village, a few soldiers fell to the ground so tired that they fell to the ground. With the help of their companions, they could return to the cave where they lived. Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to rest well, but he was still unable to rest. He quickly summoned Sanlang to ask how he was prepared for the defense in the mountains.

"Brother Zhu, when you went out to play hide-and-seek with the soldiers, the preparations in our village were completed! Look at the piles of stones over there, all of which were carefully selected, and each piece was just enough for our brothers to hold it up and smash it down. Look at the rolling wood over there, we cut down a large forest at the foot of the mountain and made nearly a hundred rolling wood up the mountain. If the soldiers dared to attack the mountain, they would definitely smash it to make them cry and cry for their parents." When Sanlang said this, he was very nervous. The soldiers had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. He would inevitably think of his last failure, so he was quite afraid of the soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but patted him heavily on his shoulder: "Don't worry, we will definitely win this time! You won't repeat the mistakes of the last time. You have to fight your spirits because you are a leader. If you are in this state of mind, the soldiers will be even worse. By the way... After the news of the soldiers coming dispersed, how are the villagers and soldiers in the village in the village in the mood?"

"This... the morale is OK. Everyone says that Brother Zhu is very good at fighting. You must be right with you." A strange expression appeared on his face, "But...hehe... it's quite strange. Single men are actively running around and proposing marriage to their families with daughters, especially the soldiers, all of whom are eager to marry a wife. And families with daughters are also rushing to marry their daughters."

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in silence: "Striving to marry a wife? Haha!"

It turns out that this is also a feature of ancient times. Whenever a war comes, the people will fight for marriage first and actively prepare for marriage. Men who are at the right age will be anxious to ask for their daughter-in-law, and the women's family will also be anxious to marry their daughter.

Why?

Because in ancient times, the consumption of males would be very large. After a war, the labor force would be greatly reduced. In addition, the Chinese ancestral teachings were three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants would be the greatest. Soldiers were worried that they would die in the war and not leave behind their descendants. They would actively marry their wives before the war, and strive to leave a little blood in their newly married wives before going to war, so that even if they finished playing on the battlefield, their bloodline could be continued.

As for the woman... it is because men are in a hurry to marry, the conditions will be relaxed, and the requirements for the woman are reduced a lot, such as dowry, which can be saved. Many poor families who "can't afford to marry" their daughters quickly take advantage of this opportunity to sell their daughters. Moreover, after the war, the number of men decreases, and women are even more worried about marrying, and their value will drop a lot... Well, in general, it's a bit like the stock market crash, and everyone is trying hard to sell together.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard Sanlang say this: "Haha! After this battle, those who are in a hurry to sell their daughter should regret it, because we will definitely not lose many males in this battle."

At this time, Wang Er leaned over with his tired body. Although he was tired, he was still in good spirits. He asked with a smile: "Brother Zhu, the soldiers are camping at the foot of the mountain. Should we take advantage of their camping and take the people down and rush down? Maybe the outcome will be decided in one battle!"

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively: "The soldiers finally arrived at our village after a lot of hardships. Now they have walked through the dawn. The moment they saw the dawn, their morale was extremely high. They should not be against them at this time!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the desperate Saburo at a very fast speed and said seriously: "And there must be many of our soldiers who are afraid of soldiers and must not fight directly with soldiers... Have a good rest today and let the soldiers camp. The first thing we have to do is only one word: guard!"
