Now I give you a chance to fight for your future life.
As long as you go through five battles, you will be pardoned and your charges will be washed away.
Even if you fail to survive even one battle, you will be treated as The warriors who died in battle will be buried with honors, you will receive honors, and your families will receive pensions.”
"There is a saying that everyone has his own ambitions, and there is another saying that a tough melon is not sweet.
Now, I will give you a chance to choose.
If you are a coward, come to the front, you will be sent back to continue serving your sentence.
Those who are not dead will be sentenced.
After reaching the age, you will be released.
The army led by Gu never wants cowards.
Only warriors.
Only warriors are qualified to fight with Gu.
If so, stand up to the front immediately.
Gu will never allow cowards to sneak into Gu's army and hold back. " Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone in the audience, and his eyes kept scanning the faces in the audience.
After a while, some people finally stood up and walked to the front, but they all lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
Although there are such people who have stood up, they are not many.
Among hundreds of thousands of people, there are only There are hundreds of them, and others remembered what Zhao Ziliang said just now.
Even if he is released after serving his sentence and lives a life without humans and ghosts, it is better to fight bravely to fight for a future.
There are still many people who have not stood up.
Come out because they don't want to be thought of as cowards and they can't afford to lose this guy.
The head can be cut off, but the face cannot be lost.
"Chen Qing," Zhao Ziliang shouted, looking at the hundreds of people who stood up and chose to continue serving their sentences.
Chen Qing stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'm here."
"Send people to escort them back to continue serving their sentences."
"Yes" Chen Qing agreed, and with a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers came over in neat lines, confiscated the weapons, armor and all other equipment of those who chose to continue serving their sentences, and escorted them away from the school grounds.
Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and asked loudly: "Those who choose to stay, although you have not yet gone to the battlefield to fight the enemy, you have at least proved that you are not cowards but warriors.
Warriors, are you ready?"
"I'm willing to listen to your Majesty's orders."
The shouts of mountains and tsunamis spread one after another.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and waved in the direction of the camp gate: "The assassination army, the prisoner army, and the slave army marched out in teams and set off."
The officers immediately turned to face their subordinates and shouted orders.
Hundreds of thousands of horses left the military camp in teams and marched south.
The hundreds of thousands of horses stretched for dozens of miles.
Along the way, flags were flying and horses neighed and people roared.
So lively.
In order to reduce the boredom on the march, improve morale, and maintain the marching speed at all times, Zhao Ziliang ordered all armies to sing in teams.
Some teams sang military songs and war songs, and some teams sang folk songs.
"How can I say that Wuyi and I share the same robe with you?
When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear.
I share the same enemy with you."
"How can I say that Wuyi and Zi are in the same position?
The king raised his army and repaired my spear and halberd.
I worked together with Zi."
"How can I say that I have no clothes and wear the same clothes as my son?
The king raised his troops and repaired my armor and soldiers.
I will go with you."

As they sang, the neighboring teams unknowingly started a singing competition, singing one song after another, with no one admitting defeat.
While camping at night, Zhao Ziliang also ordered the officers to organize the soldiers to participate in various activities, such as juju competitions, wrestling, fist and foot competitions, and riding competitions.
There were rewards for the winners.
If someone competed, others would naturally watch, and various activities were carried out.
Various activities made everyone forget about the upcoming battle, relax their mood, relax their nervous expressions, and boost their morale.
The road from Jerusalem to the Sinai Peninsula is almost all desert.
Fresh water can only be obtained by marching along the Mediterranean coast.
El-Arish is the largest oasis in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula and has the most fresh water.
Therefore, a town was formed here.
After the Western Qin army captured the Sinai Peninsula, Arish was made the capital of the Sinai Peninsula.
The army only stayed in El-Arish for two days before continuing to march west.
Since there were a large number of infantry, and Zhao Ziliang was prepared to let the soldiers retain sufficient physical strength after arriving at the front line, the army did not march very fast.
It started from Jerusalem and arrived at the front line.
It took eighteen days to garrison Manzala Fort, the most advanced place to station troops.
Manzala is a lake, one of the few freshwater lakes in North Africa.
The Western Qin Army built its cutting-edge garrison here because of this freshwater lake.
In the desert Gobi, everything is possible if there is a water source.
It is worth mentioning that the Great Eater also built a garrison on the west bank of Manzala Lake to monitor and prepare for possible attacks by the Western Qin Army.
The two sides built a fort between Manzala Lake and Timsah Lake.
Many forts, these forts are connected together to form two main lines.
The fort defense lines were lined up from north to south.
The remnants of the Dashi Kingdom and the Western Qin Army sent heavy troops to garrison on these two lines of defense.
Generally speaking, the Western Qin had the advantage, and the number of active attacks and sneak attacks was higher than that of the Western Qin Army.
There were far more cannibals and they took the strategic initiative.
The Great Eaters were originally an aggressive and offensive nation, but they were attacked several times by the Western Qin Army.
The Great Eaters not only lost a large area of land, but now only a small piece of land in North Africa is left.
Their strategic nature has also been defeated, and they have changed from an aggressive nation to a defensive nation.
They rarely take the initiative to attack the Western Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, their infantry accounts for the vast majority and only a few cavalry.
In recent years, they have sent people The technology of fortification and defense was learned from the Eastern Roman Empire.
In the large tent of the newly built military camp on the shores of Manzara Lake, Wan Qingming, the deputy governor of the East Factory, introduced to Zhao Ziliang and all the generals and officials accompanying the army the situation in the years after the Mahdi retreated to North Africa and what happened when they learned that the Western Qin had made a comeback again and sent ten troops.
The response when tens of thousands of troops attacked.
Wan Qingming briefed Zhao Ziliang and others on the situation and said: "Your Majesty, fellow generals, the news of our army's arrival in Jerusalem has been leaked long ago.
At that time, we had not yet carried out detailed operations on the Eastern Roman Empire and the Mahdi spies hidden in the Middle East. to clean up, Therefore, they began large-scale mobilization and preparations as soon as they learned of our arrival.
According to our inspection of the East Factory, Mahdi deployed 50,000 troops in Manzala and Lake Timsah, which was three-thirds of his total strength.
One of the areas now controlled by Mahdi has Almost all the people are soldiers, of course excluding women, children, the elderly and the weak.
Fifteen thousand people are already the largest force they can mobilize.
The youngest is only 14 years old.
The other 100,000 people are deployed on the banks of the Nile River, Mauritania, and Tripoli.
Started months ago, They mobilized, and now all those engaged in production are old, weak, women and children, and all men have been conscripted into the army.
More than 70% of them have not been drilled, and the other 30% are standing troops, about 45,000 people.
These are all trained troops. , the combat effectiveness is impressive.”
Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and observed it for a while, pointed at the city of Dumuat on the Mediterranean coast and said: "Chen Qing, give an order to our first and second Mediterranean fleets to assemble on the coast of this area."
Chen Qing promised: "I will obey my order"
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Where is Hun Yao?"

You will first undergo adaptive training and give you half a month to adapt.
After half a month, you will land here with the navy fleet and attack Dumyat alone."
