Most people still think that Li Ye is deceiving them.
They are all veterans, either too old or disabled.
The reason why he remained in the army was that the Ministry of Revenue had not yet allocated any pension to him.
We can only continue to delay in the army.
A lifetime of fighting is of no use now.
But they didn't settle down properly.
The soldiers were completely disheartened.
If they were really sent to the battlefield, they would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
They have no hope and are abandoned.
Hearing that he was going to follow the Sixth Prince to suppress bandits made him feel extremely disappointed.
Everyone knows that the Sixth Prince only loves business and is greedy for money. How could he know how to fight a war?
Letting such people lead the suppression of bandits is like sending them to their deaths.
The soldiers in the army immediately had two opinions.
The first theory is that the Sixth Prince offended someone and was sent to die.
The first theory is that they wanted to take the opportunity to consume all these old, weak and disabled soldiers.
No matter which situation, there is no hope of survival.
All those chosen felt extremely desperate.
But the Sixth Prince praised them as soon as he opened his mouth.
I don't know what medicine the gourd is selling.
Li Ye said: "When this prince first received the imperial edict, I was quite worried.
But after arriving at the army and seeing all of you, I felt I was already 80% confident in suppressing the bandits.
With people like you here, we will definitely be able to suppress the bandits."
Some people have already given up.
He said with disdain: "Your Highness, do you think we are three-year-old children and so easy to fool?
How can we, the old, weak and disabled soldiers, fight?
I heard that the bandits in Vulture Mountain are very fierce, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The troops sent to attack many times failed and suffered heavy losses.
How can we possibly defeat them?"
Li Ye saw that the person who spoke had a determined look on his face.
Although he was of strong build, he had lost his left arm.
It was obvious that he dared to say such things and was mentally prepared to be punished.
Li Ye replied sternly, "Although veterans may not have strong combat capabilities, in my opinion, this just shows that they have rich combat experience.
No matter what tactics the enemy uses, the veterans will be able to discover them first.
As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure.
In this prince's eyes, all veterans are treasures of the army."
These soldiers had never heard of Li Ye's statement.
It feels very novel.
You have to know that veterans are old and can’t keep up with the progress of marching and fighting, so they will be despised.
Either you can be cannon fodder to consume the enemy, or you can only do some hard labor and auxiliary work.
Li Ye said they were treasures.
It feels so incredible.
"What about us remaining soldiers? We are already disabled. What use can we be?"
The soldier who spoke gritted his teeth and patted his broken arm.
Losing an arm greatly reduces combat effectiveness.
Already considered a burden.
Li Ye stared at the other party and said loudly: "This prince believes that all disabled soldiers are heroes in the army and heroes of the Dayuan Dynasty!
The fact that you survived the battle shows that you are extremely strong-willed.
Far better than being able to survive."
"Just because you have a disability, you can't think you are useless!
Even if one hand is broken, the other hand can still pick up a weapon.
Even if you break a leg, you can still ride on a horse.
Even if you can't fight, you can still continue to command.
As long as the battle continues, we can continue to defeat the enemy!"
Li Ye's passionate speech shocked everyone.
I didn't expect that a prince could actually see their value.
Regardless of whether what you say is true or not.
At least it has made them excited.
The originally lifeless eyes now have a glimmer of hope again.
Li Ye didn't wait for them to think about it.
He continued, “Next, this prince will lead you to eliminate the bandits.
This prince assures you that I will never ask you to die.
But to lead you to build a career.
When we come back, everyone will get the rewards they deserve.
Let everyone have a good future.
If you unfortunately die in battle, you will be given sufficient pension to ensure that your family has adequate financial security and no worries about food and clothing.
In the end, you want to give it a try, follow this prince to build a career and make a name for yourself.
Let everyone know that you are truly elite divisions and excellent soldiers and generals.
Or just continue to sink like this.
The decision is yours!"
Li Ye's words have completely ignited the emotions of all the soldiers.
"We are willing to follow His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to build a career!"
"As long as His Highness the Sixth Prince doesn't despise us, we are willing to repay him with our lives."
…
The soldiers shouted loudly.
Let out all the resentment accumulated over these days.
So what if he's a veteran? He has rich combat experience and can anticipate the enemy's moves.
It doesn’t matter if there are still remaining soldiers, as long as they can still pick up weapons, they can still kill the enemy.
I will never be willing to live in such a cowardly way, I must fight to make a breakthrough.
Mr. Xiao was extremely shocked. He never expected that Li Ye's words could arouse the fighting spirit of the old soldiers in front of him.
Lin Yue and Xiao Cui watched all this in amazement.
The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
It has been completely transformed from its previous state.
No one can underestimate this remnant army anymore.
Just listening to their shouts makes my blood boil. Only elite soldiers can have such power.
Mr. Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he muttered to himself while holding the wine gourd: "Good boy, I really underestimated you!
Even such an army can inspire the will to fight.
If you were to lead an elite army, it's hard to imagine how powerful its combat effectiveness would be."
The guards brought by Li Ye were also extremely shocked.
Originally, their mission was to protect Li Ye's safety.
If we lose the battle, we must fight to the death to protect Li Ye's safety and rescue him.
When they first saw the army, no one thought that Li Ye could suppress the bandits.
But at this moment, they felt that their chances of winning were extremely high.
He already looked at his own Sixth Prince with a different eye.
Even the most powerful general of the Dayuan Dynasty probably couldn't achieve this level of performance.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Ye had completely changed.
I became extremely adoring and no longer had any contempt for him.
Li Ye felt that the atmosphere was almost set, so he waved his hand and said, "Disband immediately and let the firemen light the fire and cook!
Wait until the whole army has eaten, then set out immediately!"
The soldiers excitedly shouted loudly for the Sixth Prince, and their momentum reached its peak.
Li Ye came to the military camp tent and met with the army commander.
Understand the details of the military.
These military commanders are relatively reliable, at least they are not disabled.
Li Ye issued his first order: "From now on, the soldiers must have enough to eat at every meal.
Everyone gets at least two pieces of meat!"
"Well! There's no problem in having enough food, but I'm afraid we can't provide two ounces of meat for each meal." said a commander.
"Don't worry about the future, just follow my orders first.
If it’s not enough, I will find a way myself.”
"Yes! If soldiers can eat meat for every meal, they will fight to the death." The commander said excitedly.
