For soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.
Facing the upcoming war for the first time, I must be nervous.
Especially for generals, you must be careful and pay attention no matter what happens.
Therefore, a general who is able to fight a battle, or even win a war, needs to be excellent in all aspects.
This is especially true for psychological quality.
Because the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing.
Not many people can have everything in their hands.
If there was any unexpected thing, the outcome of the war would be completely different.
This is what every new general needs to face, and it takes some time to adapt.
But Song Hongzhi was different. The moment he wanted to join the army.
Just know that you can win no matter what.
Even among the many powerful generals in the Wei Dynasty, he will be the most shining one.
Therefore, Song Hongzhi rode on a fierce horse, holding a silver spear, with no other emotions in his eyes except confidence.
He especially knew that his next opponent would be just a small queen from Gaoyang Kingdom.
There was not even a hint of panic.
There is only one thing in mind.
What exactly should we do to achieve the greatest results in this battle?
"General?"
At this time, the deputy general next to him saw that the other party didn't speak, and immediately reminded him.
As for the others, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at this moment.
From leaving the capital to the Liaodong region.
They followed the new Liaozhen commander all the way and had already gotten to know him in a preliminary way.
This little uncle of the king in front of him is not only unrestrained and impulsive, but also talks big every day, as if as long as he comes to Liaodong, he can decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop and defeat the Gaoyang army in one fell swoop.
To be honest, people didn't believe it and even looked down on it.
The Gaoyang Kingdom was not strong, but it at least had an army of hundreds of thousands.
But what about the troops under the control of the other party?
The total amount is only 50,000.
More importantly, this little uncle was very picky about his life and couldn't get used to the dry food he had along the way.
Did he order them to go hunting, insist on eating meat, and then complain in the end that the taste was not good enough?
Especially in the past few days, everyone saw it with their own eyes.
The other party directly wrote a memorial for this matter, saying that he would report to His Majesty and ask several restaurants in the capital to get a few chefs to come to Liaozhen.
Several of them have served in the army for many years and have experienced many bloody battles and have suffered all kinds of hardships.
But I have never seen a general so picky.
Remember, the war hasn't started yet.
If a fight breaks out, don't you still need to have a few chefs with you?
After all these events, several deputy generals unanimously agreed that the chances of winning the battle against Gaoyang State were definitely not high, and a draw would be good enough.
At the same time, they finally understood why His Majesty insisted on sending them here, which was to provide escort.
In other words, this battle is to gild the young uncle's reputation.
Otherwise, who else can we ask?
All of a sudden, they felt a lot more pressure.
At this time, Song Hongzhi also came back to his senses, nodded immediately, and said: "Okay, let's enter the city."
After saying this, he ignored everyone's reactions and rode ahead alone.
Everyone dared to stand behind him and said nothing.
And soon after entering the city.
Officials of all ranks in Liaozhen also arrived late to greet them.
Especially the officers and soldiers of the Commander-in-Chief's Office, they did not dare to be negligent. They lined up in a long queue and held a grand banquet to welcome the guests.
Because they knew that this was not just their immediate superior, but also the current uncle of the emperor, the younger brother of the empress, and the son of the second assistant minister of the cabinet, and they could not afford to offend him under any circumstances.
However, Song Hongzhi did not care about this. He rejected the suggestion of welcoming him and handed over the seal.
He began by inspecting the Commander's Office, and then spent most of the day inspecting the garrison camp outside the city.
He also sent his lieutenants and personal guards to collect information on all aspects, from small matters like weapons and food to big matters like situations outside the border.
In short, he wants to know everything, no matter how big or small.
And wait until he returns to the city again.
It's already midnight.
now.
In the Liaozhen Commander's Office.
Song Hongzhi had taken off his armor and was sitting in the main seat with a frown on his face.
Right in front of him were the deputy generals and personal guards who had followed him.
Just now, he had heard everyone's report on the current situation in Liao Town.
The first is the news that the imperial court has declared war. The Gaoyang Kingdom has already learned about it and is now starting to gather a large army outside the border.
During this period, he sent envoys to negotiate peace, saying that he did not want to go to war with Wei.
But this matter was decided by Wei Yunyi.
The Liaozhen officials did not dare to have too much contact and simply drove the envoy from Gaoyang Kingdom away.
Therefore, although the two sides have not yet officially started the war, they have already begun preparations.
However, it is not clear yet how many troops Gao Yang has assembled.
Of course, Song Hongzhi frowned not because of these.
Rather, it was because he had learned from reports from his subordinates that the soldiers of Liaozhen had not fought for many years, lacked training, had loose discipline, and their overall morale was somewhat poor. They also seemed to be seriously lacking in bows and crossbows and other equipment.
You know, what did the Wei Dynasty rely on to sweep across the world and establish its rule in the Central Plains? It was the bow and crossbow!
Especially later, when facing the grassland cavalry, bows and crossbows played a huge role.
Therefore, if the Wei soldiers lacked bows and crossbows, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
