Chapter 316: no cowards
Chapter 316 No cowards
Refugees are not laborers, and they must be paid higher wages, so that some people are willing to come to places like Juyongguan to do heavy manual labor. Ye Anlan said that she can help pay for this money.
She said to Bai Ruiwen: "I heard that your Dingbei Army even gave out military rations to help the refugees. I wonder if you give them for free every day, or let them do some work?"
Bai Ruiwen said: "Naturally let them do some work. Most of the arrows used by our Dingbei Army are made by those refugees."
Of course, due to the limitations of craftsmanship and materials, the quality and range of the arrows made by the refugees cannot compare with the ones they used to get from the imperial court.
Even so, the Dingbei Army, which is extremely short of military supplies, still cherishes it very much.
"After that, you can continue to hire these refugees. Don't worry, when I finish delivering this batch of military supplies, I will find someone who is not pleasing to the eye to do a vote. Before winter, I will get back the money needed to hire refugees. Come."
Such a gangster-style speech, to be honest, really doesn't have the slightest bit of leadership qualities, but compared to those high-ranking high-ranking officials who like to look at others from the corner of their eyes, Bai Ruiwen prefers Ye Anlan who can understand them and support them.
He bowed his hands to Ye Anlan and thanked him, "Thank you, Miss Ye, for your generosity. I will tell Lord Hou the truth about this matter."
The two of them were talking, but the accompanying chariots and horses did not stop at a single step, and they were always rushing to the location of Juyongguan according to the established rhythm.
Thanks to the lightness of the carriage and horses, they spent the night on this journey, and their speed was about three times faster than that of Li Jing and others.
When they arrived at Juyongguan, the other side of Juyongguan was busy fighting against the Hu people.
All the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army who guarded the closed gate on this side knew Bai Ruiwen. In just a short time after the team passed by the gate of the city, Bai Ruiwen had already inquired clearly about all the difficulties and tragedies of Juyongguan during this period.
Entering the pass from the city gate here, after a while, Ye Anlan and the others heard the screams of killing coming from the other side.
Hearing the shout of killing, Bai Ruiwen wished he could rush to the front line to fight immediately.
Seeing his fidgeting, Ye Anlan rolled her eyes, and eagerly urged him, "Why don't we find any grain and grass quartermasters, it's so troublesome and time-consuming to check and distribute supplies in and out of the warehouse. Why don't we immediately send bows, arrows, knives and guns to the city wall so that everyone can use them immediately."
Bai Ruiwen was moved, he gritted his teeth, "Come with me!"
Ye Anlan wanted to kill the barbarians, so wouldn't he, Bai Ruiwen, not want to? He wants to go more than Ye Anlan!
Anyway, it's wartime now, and it's the time to employ people. Even if he made such a small mistake, Bai Qingzhi will fine him half a year's salary at most, and then order him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. This kind of punishment is not painful at all. Itching, nothing.
He went all out!
"Then let's discuss how to arrange these supplies first." Ye Anlan patted his horse and followed Bai Ruiwen, "We can bring bows, arrows, knives and guns directly to the city wall, and medicinal materials can also be sent directly to the military doctor's tent, such as armor. You have to Find a place for us to store it temporarily."
Most of the first batch of emergency supplies they sent to the Northern Army were bows and arrows, armor, and medicinal materials, but there were also a small amount of knives, guns, cotton cloth, and food. , Temporarily let someone join in.
Especially the extra knives and guns, this road has always been hanging on Ye Anlan and her guarded horses _(:з」∠)_
Bai Ruiwen looked around, and made a decision after a while, "Then send the armor and the like to the side of the military doctor's camp. There is a big open space over there, you can borrow it for a while."
As he spoke, he called a ten-man team under his command to his side, "Take Ye Jiajun to the military doctor's camp. Remember to find a place for them to store the things they brought."
The young cavalry headed by the leader answered loudly, and then took a few of his subordinates, and Ye Anlan's close half of his bodyguards, to the military doctor's camp.
The remaining half of the guards followed behind Ye Anlan and Bai Ruiwen, their faces full of fighting spirit.
Bai Ruiwen noticed that Ye Anlan had brought nearly 3,000 people here, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. He asked Ye Anlan, "Who are you?"
Ye Anlan raised her hand with a smile and drew a semicircle in front of her, "Reinforcement."
Bai Ruiwen immediately became anxious when he heard this, "Miss Ye, a battle between frontier armies is a battle between two countries, and we always pay attention to the fact that one will never die, you guys"
Ye Anlan raised her hand to stop Bai Ruiwen, "I know what you're worried about, but none of my soldiers are cowards."
She knew that in the eyes of frontier soldiers like Bai Ruiwen, the various rebels fighting back and forth were nothing more than dozens of unfilial sons in one family fighting for each other's property even if they were fighting to break the dog's head.
For those unfilial sons who have become leaders, it is of great significance to win or lose the fight, but for the low-level soldiers who are just eating their own food, what about these unfilial sons who lose and who win? They are not the same to receive a share of the military pay and a share of food.
Soldiers who hold this kind of thinking are easily defeated, easily shaken in the army, and easily raise the white flag to surrender to the new lord, but those soldiers guarding the border are different.
They have long been mentally prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country, and it is their daily practice to fight to the death and never surrender.
It was precisely because of the fundamental difference between the two that Bai Ruiwen was worried that Ye Anlan's guards would not be able to adapt.
But Ye Anlan didn't think that her personal guards would lose the chain at a critical moment, especially her personal guards also included Yang Xiaotao and Zheng Fengshou.
As long as she and these two people are there, as long as they are not beaten by the barbarians, the soldiers of the Ye family army will never choose to flee or surrender because of the tragic battle, as Bai Ruiwen feared.
She was so determined, Bai Ruiwen couldn't say anything more.
He thought, anyway, this is just a battle to defend the city. Even if Ye Jiajun chooses to retreat after seeing the tragic scene with his own eyes, with the city wall as a support, the Dingbei Army will not be led into chaos by this group of Ye Jiajun who were originally non-staff personnel hands and feet.
With this in mind, Bai Ruiwen first followed the Bai clan who stayed under the city wall and was responsible for leading the team to support the city guards, and briefly explained his purpose of coming and the identities of Ye Anlan and others, and then under the guidance of the other party, led With more than 3,000 Ye family troops, including Ye Anlan, carrying bows and arrows to the city wall one after another.
Ye Anlan has no secrets about Dingbei Army Ye Anlan. Half of the batch of bows and arrows she sent to Dingbei Army are Xie's and Ye's unique crossbows and supporting arrows.
