"Woo..."

A horn resounded across the school grounds in Liyang City, like a little fire, igniting the excitement in the hearts of the thousands of soldiers present.

Not long ago, they were just ordinary people in Yueyang City, but now they are standing here holding halberds.

The horns were playing in their ears, and their minds were gradually surging. The eyes of these newly promoted soldiers began to look forward with a sharp look.

Just above the school grounds, these soldiers were gradually infected by the surrounding environment, and two loud bugles suddenly sounded.

"The county magistrate has arrived."

"The county captain has arrived."

Looking in the direction of the sound, two figures came into view.

However, one of them was wearing a scholar's robe, while the other was wearing a red Wei army armor.

So, under the gaze of a thousand soldiers on the school field, Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling boarded the platform in front of them one after another.

When his steps settled on the high platform, Gongsun Yang's eyes slowly swept across a famous soldier in front of him.

"My soldiers of Yueyang."

Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Gongsun Yang's voice quickly spread throughout the school grounds.

If there were well-trained soldiers standing on the school field at this moment, he would be greeted with a neat, high-pitched, and powerful response.

It's just that the people standing in front of Gongsun Yang were a group of newcomers who had just been recruited into the army, so naturally there were only sparse words to greet him.

"Meet the county magistrate."

"I'll see the county magistrate later."

"Meet Magistrate Gongsun."

…

Hearing the responses that were not uniform, but even varied, Gongsun Yang, who was standing on the platform, immediately frowned.

However, Gongsun Yang did not say anything at this moment. He knew very well that if these people in front of him were described in nicer words, they would be a mob;

As for using unpleasant words to describe it, Gongsun Yang didn't know how to describe it.

How to train these rabble into elite soldiers is not what he is good at.

Glancing back at Sun Boling, who was concentrating on the front, Gongsun Yang continued to speak to the soldiers below: "Since ancient times, the military's responsibilities are nothing more than to open up territory and defend the territory and secure the people."

"The reason why our Yueyang government issued the "Recruitment Order" in accordance with the "Wei Law" this time is to build an army that belongs to me, Yueyang, and an army that can protect the people of Yueyang."

After he calmly stated the reason for issuing the "Recruitment Order", Gongsun Yang immediately changed the topic and his tone became extremely solemn in an instant.

"Soldiers, you are all from Yueyang."

"If someone with a sharp knife wanted to break into your home, seize your property, and kill your parents, wives, and children, what would you choose?"

"Do you choose to sit back and wait for death? Or pick up the weapons in your hands and fight to the death with the intruders?"

Almost at the moment Gongsun Yang finished speaking, a roar rang out from the soldiers below.

"Take up arms and fight him."

This roar seemed to awaken the fighting spirit in the hearts of the rest of the people. The warlike bloodline that had been passed down by the Old Qin people for hundreds of years was completely aroused at this moment.

"Yes, fight him."

"That's right, even if it means death, I will pull one down."

"I'm afraid he is not a man from Yueyang."

…

Noisier sounds than before continued to pour into Gongsun Yang's ears from the front, but this time his brows were no longer frowning, but instead there were bright lights in his eyes.

War in the Cold Weapon Age was fought not only on equipment and command, but also on the morale of an army itself.

If the morale is once exhausted, no matter how sophisticated the armor is or how superb the commanding general is, he will be unable to recover.

It is obvious that these people standing in front of Gongsun Yang at this moment have just become soldiers and have not undergone arduous training.

However, guided by the goal of protecting the city, they still had extremely high morale.

This army is like a long sword that has not yet been sharpened. It needs a master who is proficient in military strategy to reshape it and let it show its own edge.

Fortunately, such a master is standing behind Gongsun Yang at this moment.

"Well said, we are going to fight them."

"It's just that soldiers may wish to ask themselves at this moment, do they really have the ability to protect their families at this moment?"

If Gongsun Yang’s words just now ignited the flames of war in the hearts of the soldiers below;

The words he asked at this moment were like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing most of the flames of war.

"I……"

Just when hesitation and hesitation gradually spread among the soldiers, Gongsun Yang's words rang in everyone's ears again.

"Maybe the soldiers don't have this ability at the moment, but I know there is someone who can give you this ability."

As soon as Gongsun Yang said these words, the school grounds gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at him almost at the same time.

Facing countless doubtful and curious glances, Gongsun Yang had a solemn look on his face, "Where is County Lieutenant Sun Boling?"

"The official is here."

Accompanied by a loud shout, Sun Boling, who was standing behind Gongsun Yang, took firm steps and came to the front of a thousand soldiers on the school field.

His sharp eyes were like sharp swords passing over the soldiers below. Although they were all wearing red military uniforms at the moment, Sun Boling did not regard the people in front of him as an army.

At least now, if they set foot on the battlefield, it is very likely that their entire army will be destroyed in a short period of time.

Silently giving this evaluation in his heart, Sun Boling's expression gradually became calm, "The county magistrate just said it well, the duty of the army is to open up territory and expand territory, and to guard the territory and bring peace to the people."

"To successfully complete these two responsibilities is actually not that difficult. It is nothing more than defeating the enemy."

Sun Boling's words sounded like an understatement, but it made the thousand soldiers below immediately frown.

Defeating the enemy and winning can be said in just four words, but it is extremely difficult to actually achieve it.

You may not have seen it, but not long ago, in order to achieve this goal, Qin State could be said to have devoted all its efforts to the country.

If not, Gongsun Yang would not have only recruited a thousand soldiers because of Yueyang's poverty.

However, the Qin State had almost exhausted all its strength and built an army of more than 100,000 people. Has it achieved its goal of defeating the enemy?

Nowadays, the border line drawn along the Jing River between Wei and Qin, as well as the relocation of the Qin capital to its old capital Yongcheng, give a very clear answer.

It seemed that he did not pay attention to the changes in the expressions on the faces of the soldiers below. He only heard Sun Boling continue: "I think that if you want to defeat the enemy, you must achieve the following three aspects."

"First, soldiers must have superb battle skills and high morale;"

"Second, the general must have a correct grasp of the ever-changing situation on the battlefield and the troops under his command;"

"Third, the country behind it must provide sufficiently sophisticated weapons and equipment as well as an adequate supply of food, grass and baggage."
