Chapter 549 High Reward
The surrounding soldiers were also frightened and took a step back slightly, as if they were afraid of blood splattering on them. Ever since they were young, they had never fought in a war. How could they have seen dead people?
As for the idea of revenge for the centurion, they had no idea at all. At this time, they only felt deep fear and shock.
People who were fine just one moment were killed the next moment. Looking at Xiao Tiansheng's indifferent appearance, it seemed that it was normal for someone to die.
A little liquid flowed from the ground. Looking down, several soldiers looked pale and their legs were shaking.
They were the soldiers who were chatting with them just now. I thought that Xiao Tiansheng would not find out, and even if he found out, he would at best give them a lesson. But in the blink of an eye, the centurion died in front of him.
The centurion just gave them a few words of excuse and died on the spot. Can they still survive after doing this?
Thinking about it, some of them were scared to death.
Most of them who became the city guards relied on their connections and just wanted to earn a solid job. They never thought about killing people.
When news of the Sirius elite's attack came, they thought that people would die. But they have never seen a battlefield, so naturally they have never seen the cruelty of a battlefield. Only when the people they get along with day and night actually die in front of them do they realize the horror of the battlefield.
If they were given another chance, they would definitely not be willing to be the city guards, even if their life was a little harder.
"Anyone who violates discipline again will be dealt with by military law."
Xiao Tiansheng looked at everyone, knowing that his goal had been achieved, and did not go into details.
Zhang Darong was somewhat angry in his heart. No matter what the centurion said, he was still his. Although Xiao Tiansheng was given full authority to control the city guards, and even though Xiao Tiansheng had the right to kill people, he did not say hello to him, and even ignored his pleas, which inevitably made him feel resentful.
But when he saw the body lying in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, he swallowed, and most of the anger in his heart was immediately reduced.
Time passed by minute by second, and the cold winter wind blew in waves. Many soldiers shivered, but no one dared to move, not even small movements. He was afraid of being caught by Xiao Tiansheng's eyes and dying.
Xiao Tiansheng stood up and felt that the heat was almost there, so he asked them to move around and then practiced the formation.
After a morning and an afternoon of hard work, the soldiers improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, Xiao Tiansheng shook his head. This was still far from what he expected, not even half of the ordinary army.
After dragging on until now, the bodies of many soldiers were almost unable to bear it. Further training would be counterproductive, so Xiao Tiansheng was ready to disband.
Feeling many resentful glances, Xiao Tiansheng sighed slightly:
"In your current state, you are far behind the elites of Sirius. You are not even as good as ordinary soldiers. Don't blame me for being cruel. The people of Sirius are like untamed savages. Every time they attack a pond, they treat the local people as their own." Use it as food or as a toy. If Guangling falls, we will all be worse off than dead."
When many soldiers saw Xiao Tiansheng, a general who had always been aloof, he suddenly revealed his true feelings to them and spoke in a tone like a father teaching his son, which immediately warmed their hearts. The distance between the two sides seemed to be much closer at this moment.
The Sirius Kingdom was originally a tribe in the southeast corner, called the Sirius Tribe. The Tianlang tribe is barbaric by nature, with 30,000 warriors fighting everywhere. After conquering a city, they rob food and money, and enjoy killing people. They also set up a gladiatorial arena for local people to fight each other until they die. Massacres of cities are even more common.
These are all facts. Although the Sirius people have lost their feral nature and the Sirius Kingdom has prospered over the past few hundred years, the stereotype is difficult to change. Xiao Tiansheng's words also made everyone believe it subconsciously.
"I have already told Lord Xun that there will be enough meat for tonight. You should eat and drink well and have a good night's rest. The training is hard, and you must have a good rest to be strong. The life and death of the entire Guangling City will be left to you. "
"If you kill one enemy in this battle, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you kill three enemies, you will be promoted to one level. If you kill five enemies, you will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land. If you kill ten enemies, you will be granted the title of baron. Those who die in battle will receive pensions for their families." Twenty taels.”
Hearing this, everyone in the audience looked shocked, but there was no uproar.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaofan couldn't help but praise Xiao Tiansheng in his heart. The effect of this training is almost immediate.
"This battle is of great importance, and this is a tentative reward. After the battle, I will write to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to ask for it. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to give so much, then I will share my reward with you. In short, the reward is Definitely no less.”
Xiao Tiansheng added.
Hearing this, many soldiers were moved and convinced by Xiao Tiansheng's words. In just one day, Xiao Tiansheng has established his majesty, making everyone subconsciously convinced.
Lin Xiaofan also believed that Xiao Tiansheng would definitely do his best. In fact, after careful calculation, this reward is not much for Datang. There are 5,000 Tianlang elites in total. If a fight breaks out, at most 3,000 or 4,000 people will be killed or injured, and they will retreat in the face of difficulties.
Excluding the injuries, there were only about 2,000 dead, which worked out to more than 40,000 taels of silver. There must be very few people who can kill three or five people in a row. The one who killed ten people in a row... To be honest, Lin Xiaofan had never found such a warrior in this army all day long.
"Of course, if you don't want to fight on the battlefield, you can also choose to take off your armor, put down your weapons, and retreat to the rear. I will not hold you responsible. But you must understand that if the city is broken, no one can survive. That's it for today. Disbanded."
Xiao Tiansheng finally added that this was something he decided after thinking about it for a day.
After all the ideological work he has done, if he still doesn't have the heart to fight, then when he goes to the battlefield, he will probably run away at the sight of blood and be of no use at all.
Rather than doing this, it is better to leave armored weapons to those who want to fight. It is estimated that many people would like to fight for the extremely high reward, and they can definitely collect it with their own hands.
……
In the military camp, on the dining table, pots of meat were served, as well as fragrant white flour steamed buns. The soldiers who had been training for a day swallowed hard when they saw this sumptuous meal.
Their wages are just enough to eat, and they don't have much income on weekdays. This is the first time in their lives for most of them to have enough meat.
"I have enough meat and rice for today. Go back and have a good rest. There will be a fierce battle ahead."
Xiao Tiansheng came over and sat down casually. This move immediately frightened the surrounding soldiers to stand up and almost salute.
They were confused for a moment as to what Xiao Tiansheng was going to do.
"Sit down, don't be nervous, and eat together. Only when you are full will you have the strength to train."
As Xiao Tiansheng said this, he picked up a white-flour steamed bun, grabbed a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. If you ignore the armor and gray robes on your body, you will look like an ordinary soldier.
