Xiao Cheng is a hero.
Lin Hai said this himself when he was offering sacrifices to him.
When facing a powerful enemy, Xiao Cheng summoned up the greatest courage in his life and actually faced it, which was not easy.
Speaking of which, the most courageous thing Xiao Cheng had done before this was, after drinking the Ten Whip Tonic Soup, he shouted to Yihongyuan's mother: I'm going to beat ten...
And he actually fought against ten of them, and the battle lasted for three days and three nights before the winner was decided.
So even Xiao Cheng probably didn't know that he actually had the courage to fight against the guards in the abyss.
Time goes back to the moment when Xiao Cheng rushed out of the anti-artillery cave.
The courage from Captain Xiao inspired many soldiers who were huddled and shivering in the anti-artillery caves.
Although the league's top management has tried every possible way to boost morale, the encouragement from the safety of the rear is far less than the bullets whizzing overhead at this moment.
Anyone would be afraid.
But no one would have thought that Xiao Cheng would be willing to rush out first. After all, the soldiers might not be very clear about how capable their regiment commander was, but everyone had more or less heard about the fact that the regiment commander had led his troops to repeated defeats without any victory in the past.
Some soldiers even made bets in their spare time, betting on how long it would take from the first gunshot to Xiao Cheng's escape from the battlefield. The most popular bet was: as soon as the gun was fired, Captain Xiao would definitely be kneeling in the rear.
So when the gunshots were getting closer and closer and Xiao Cheng was still staying in the anti-artillery cave, many soldiers of the Second Regiment had actually gone bankrupt.
It's a good thing the supplies at the Sin Barracks are rationed, otherwise even if we win, more than half of the soldiers will starve to death due to bankruptcy...
"I was actually very scared, especially when I heard that all 5,000 of the men who had fought in the first charge had died. I was even more terrified. After all, it was a prison camp, so being drafted in to fill the void was inevitable. That would mean I had no chance of survival.
The only one who could support me at that time was Captain Xiao.
Everyone in the regiment knows that Captain Xiao is a coward and has never won a battle. So if the fighting starts, he will definitely flee. Then I will follow him. After all, with him leading the way, the higher-ups won't say anything...
As far as I know, many of us think this way.
I just don't know what's wrong with him, why he actually charged forward.
When I heard him shout, I mustered up the courage to stick my head out and see him charging forward with the golden hammer in hand. My mind got hot and I just rushed forward...
What? Again?
I don’t know if I have the courage to charge again, but everyone in the second regiment is almost dead, and I am indeed a little lonely in my life.
This is what a survivor of the Second Regiment said in an interview with a Union reporter after the war. At that time, he had been pardoned and was no longer a soldier in the criminal barracks. He was transferred to the regular army.
As for Xiao Cheng, he probably couldn't even explain why he had such courage.
He only remembered that the leaders of the alliance had come to the Criminal Barracks the night before.
His Majesty Chen Xu left a sword for General Han.
His Majesty Lin Hai found Liu Da, thanked him for his contributions to Qinghe over the years, and even had a midnight snack with Liu Da.
His Royal Highness Xin Yuetu found the commander of the First Regiment and told him that no matter what the outcome, he was a hero of Cambodia.
I waited in the tent for half the night.
He ran to the gate of the military camp and guarded it for the rest of the night.
Even the soldiers on guard have been replaced several times, but His Majesty Xia Junao has never arrived.
I am a regimental commander, and I hold the highest position in the Criminal Battalion of the Daliang Empire. Of course, the commander of the Fifth Regiment is also from the Empire, but I have inquired and found that His Majesty did not go to his side.
When I couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep while sitting at the camp gate, I heard someone calling me.
Wake up.
In an instant, he completed the entire process of waking up from his stupor and paying homage. Amidst laughter, he was told that His Majesty Xia Junao had gone to see the commander of the Fifth Regiment, and then he left.
His Majesty doesn't want to see me, even though I used to be his captain and now I am his regiment commander.
This is probably the biggest disappointment.
A king doesn't even want to see his own subjects.
But he was truly a subject of the Daliang Empire, an absolutely loyal one.
Even though the prefect surrendered, he did not say the word "surrender". He just quietly disbanded the army and left the barracks with the money he had embezzled over the years. He never, never thought of surrendering to Qinghe.
What exactly is your Majesty dissatisfied with?
Is it because I am too greedy?
Maybe, but who isn’t greedy?
Being born in troubled times is a blessing for a warrior. Whether it is powerful martial arts or superior military tactics, it can allow a warrior who can only gain experience in peaceful times to rise rapidly.
But my martial arts skills are mediocre, and my military tactics...
Well, without help, I can't understand a book on military strategy. After all, there are many words I don't know...
But he was definitely not the most incompetent general in the Daliang Empire. After all, everyone's official position was bought, so who doesn't know who else's background?
Is it because I always lose battles?
Maybe.
I couldn't get any good results from the Qinghe people, nor could I defeat the Xia people, the Chen Dynasty people, the Khmers, and even the bandits...
But I have really tried my best. Although I have failed many times, I have kept fighting, right?
If I were Your Majesty, and had a minister like this, I probably wouldn't even give him the chance to enter the criminal barracks.
