Chapter 850: Incitement!

"Vice general, please report the status of our army!"

Chu Rui squinted his eyes, glanced at the adjutant who was wearing armor and kneeling on one knee, and asked based on the system prompt he just received.

Damn it, he actually restricted my strength to level 4, and even changed it all over his body. It was no longer his own equipment, but a set of gold-level armor, and none of the things in the backpack could be used. . This means that in the current situation, Chu Rui is completely a general in the cold weapon era. He only has a horse under his crotch, a sword at his waist and an army behind him. Without strong strength to destroy it by force, we can only rely on strategy and soldiers to attack the city.

"Report to the general, we have 73,564 soldiers, including 40,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and xxx crossbowmen..."

Chu Rui frowned and listened to the deputy general's report, quickly sorted out the information in his mind, and then thought about the attack strategy one by one.

"Report the situation of the enemy one by one. Don't miss any details."

After getting a rough idea of ​​his own strength, Chu Rui asked the deputy general to report the enemy's situation.

The city is eighty meters high and made of hard granite. It is also poured with molten iron on the outside, making it very strong. The city gate is thirty meters high and seven meters wide. It is made of fine iron and is difficult to damage with swords. It can only be hit hard with a door hammer made of birch iron wood. There are about 50,000 defenders in the city. The city lord has a virtuous reputation and strong command, and is loved by the army and the people. Moreover, the most important thing is that there is a large open space outside the city. Without the natural smoke, the archers on the city tower will cause a lot of trouble. …

Chu Rui analyzed this piece of information in detail, thinking about strategies that were feasible and relatively risky.

After standing quietly for three hours, Chu Rui remained motionless, his brows condensed together, and he fell into difficult thoughts.

There are only ten hours, and things like harassment battles and countermeasures are simply impossible. We can only use relatively safer methods to attack by force. Moreover, it was morning now, and ten hours later it would be evening and dusk, so even a sneak attack under the cover of night was impossible.

"What's wrong?"

A commotion sounded, disturbing Chu Rui's contemplation. Turning his head, he looked at the deputy general and asked with some anger.

"General, some soldiers have numb feet due to standing for too long, so..."

The deputy general was stared at by Chu Rui's violent eyes, and he was a little scared, but he still had the courage to explain everything.

"Behead those sitting on the ground!"

Chu Rui's eyes sharpened and he waved to the soldiers around him. Although the voice was soft, the cold murderous intention contained in it made the deputy general and the surrounding vanguards and captains break out in cold sweat.

An army must be full of good and bad. After all, this is not an elite soldier led by a leader. The test given to him naturally also included his ability to control. If you can't even manage your own army, how can you let them follow you to attack cities and seize territory?

There are many ways to condense it into a rope. However, at this moment, they can only use thunderous means, which are also bloody and cruel, making them fearful and afraid to make mistakes. A big stick with sweetened dates. This is the most basic strategy. He is a general, and soldiers have a sense of awe, but not everyone is like that. However, the words of the personal soldiers are 100% loyal. Therefore, no matter how ridiculous Chu Rui's military order is, they will execute it without hesitation.

Continuous screams!

The military camp, which had been filled with slight complaints, suddenly fell into silence, as quiet as a ghost.

"Report to the general, mission accomplished!"

The soldier captain's armor was stained with blood. He ran over and inserted the bloody sword on the ground. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists towards Chu Rui to return to the mission.

"how many people?"

Chu Rui glanced expressionlessly, and every soldier lowered his head under his cold eyes, not daring to look at him.

"Back to General, there are seven hundred and thirty-one people in total!"

The captain of the soldiers was very respectful, and there was no tremor in his voice. For veterans like them who were used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, killing hundreds of people was nothing.

"Seven hundred and thirty-one people? Oh, that's great. What? Your legs are already weak before you even go to the battlefield?" Chu Rui's cold voice spread throughout the three armies, making everyone silent.

"Since their legs are weak, in order to avoid embarrassing themselves on the battlefield and dragging down the entire army, it is better to kill them all to eliminate the moths in the entire army!... This battle is a tough battle, and absolutely no one will be allowed to do so. It’s a mistake. General, I don’t care what you are thinking, but as long as you do your job well, you will get what you deserve.”

"Throughout the ages, every soldier who fights on the battlefield has done it for eight reasons, either to make achievements or to defend his homeland. No matter what, since you are serving as soldiers under this general, then this general will be responsible for you. . On the battlefield, death is inevitable. This general can only consider the overall situation and try to protect you. Your blood will not be in vain. No one can take away a point of your merits, not even me. Your generals will not be greedy for the military industry that originally belonged to their soldiers and was exchanged for their blood and lives."

"You sacrificed on the battlefield, and your family members can receive generous pensions. I swear to God, no one can pay a cent for this pension. As many enemies as you kill, you will get as many rewards as you want. Squad captain, captain, Centurion, forward, lieutenant general, general! As long as your military merit is sufficient, then these positions are yours."

"Today, before evening, capture this city. I hereby assure you that as long as you can see and get everything in the city, then it is yours. However, there are two points. If you violate them, you will be killed on the spot. , Absolute forgiveness. First, you must not rape women, second, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and third, you must not rob your brothers’ finances. Apart from these three points, you can do other things as much as you like. Also, kill the city lord. , be directly named Captain of Thousands, and be rewarded with three thousand silver!"

The sonorous sound spread throughout the entire military camp and echoed in the valley, making the soldiers who were originally frightened by Chu Rui's iron-blooded and ruthless methods, and even those who were alienated and rebellious, have their eyes red.

Regardless of whether it is troubled times or peaceful times, poor people serve as soldiers just to have enough to eat. Perhaps some of them are ambitious and want to make achievements. Children from rich families join the army in order to gain merit and avoid being mixed up with the low-ranking merchants, so that they can take a high road. Now, Chu Rui puts such an opportunity in front of them. If the general takes an oath as proof, it must be true. If he doesn't take the merits of war, he will be promised the right to plunder. All of a sudden, the eyes of these soldiers turned red.
