Chapter 328 (1/2)
Soldiers have been fighting all the year round. They have been fighting in the blood. Naturally, they have accumulated violent emotions. Therefore, many American soldiers who have experienced the Vietnam War and the Gulf War have had psychological problems.
There are only two ways to solve the psychological problems of soldiers. The first is to reward them. When the soldiers were rewarded and satisfied with their psychology, they naturally would not commit more crimes. For example, the Beifu army of Jin Dynasty was such an army, especially during the period of Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty, Liu Yu paid more rewards to the Beifu army. Therefore, Liu Yu was invincible in the South and North.
The second way... Is to kill the city. Emotions can be resolved by the spring breeze and rain, or simply expressed directly. If the soldiers are not able to enjoy their emotions at this time, the simplest way is to indulge and let the soldiers do what they want.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Guo Wei, a great general of the later Han Dynasty, was established as emperor by his army. He led his troops to kill the capital city. Before leaving, he promised that the soldiers would only break the city and plunder them for three days. After hearing this, all soldiers were brave. After the city was broken, it was burning, killing, looting and robbing, and supporting Guo Wei.
However, this method is not advisable, because once such a precedent is made, all soldiers know that they can burn, kill, rob and rob. It is inevitable that the military discipline will be corrupted and they will not obey the management. However, the first law in the army is absolute obedience. How can we take it?
The simplest example is the Qingzhou soldiers that Cao Cao later took over. They were originally the elite of Qingzhou yellow scarves, and they were organized by Cao Cao as the main force. The soldiers of Qingzhou were originally valiant bandits. They fought bravely, but the military discipline was not flattered.
Qingzhou soldiers lost the battle, and the armies retreated. As a result, they did not forget to take advantage of others when they ran away. They even robbed Cao Jun, the top general under Cao Cao's account, and even kidnapped Xia Houdun, the top general under Cao Cao's account. These are all recorded in historical records.
An army, robbing fellow soldiers, hijacking generals, is that ok?
Therefore, Liu Ye is strict with his jaw. He must not hurt the old and weak women and children among the white wave thieves. This will be the key to his recovery of the white wave thieves.
The Liangzhou army entered the white wave valley and pursued after the white wave thieves.
”Big boss! Liangzhou army broke the city. Let's run away. ”
”What?”
Guo too can't believe to turn around, a grasp of the Scout's collar, arms hard to lift him, toes off the ground, a pair of red eyes staring at him.
”What does Han Siam do? How did the enemy invade? ”
”The army of Liangzhou attacked fiercely, and the arrows rained like a tide. They smashed the city gate with siege vehicles.” The messenger was trembling.
”Damn it!” Guo Tai almost fainted in the dark.
Xu Huang was laughing.
”Have you heard our drums and horns? The general has broken the city
Xu Huang's more than 200 men were scarce. They suddenly killed the enemy by ambush, and they were unprepared. Only then did they gain the upper hand. Later, the white wave bandits gradually reacted, but fell into the downwind.
However, hearing the thunder of the Liangzhou army's drums, the morale of the army was very high.
Guo Taizhen wanted to order Xu Huang to be hanged, but the enemy suddenly had strong morale and couldn't take it down for a moment. Moreover, the sound of the drums and trumpets of the Liangzhou army was more and more exciting, so he couldn't help sighing.
”It's all right. Go back and keep your family small. Prepare to retreat!”
According to Guo Tai's order, more than 2000 white wave thieves breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left. They also missed their home in the valley. What if they were caught and killed by Liangzhou soldiers?
However, Xu Huang refused to let go of Guo Tai and others. Seeing the white wave thief escape, he immediately led more than 100 ambush soldiers to pursue and kill for a while, and cut down more than 50 heads.
