1192: Vaxu Pei, the first kill of the princes (sixty-two)
Xu Pei's mood is indeed terrible.
A few months ago, he forced Xu Fei to a desperate situation, forcing the other party to hang himself in despair, and now that it was his turn, Xu Pei deeply felt the despair. He was like an old beast wounded, clawless, and tooth-pulled, fearing his future and even more so of death.
He Xu Pei has been the pride of the sky since he was born, the eldest grandson of the Xu family, and the existence that everyone envies.
Although there are occasional disappointments, but he has survived the old man who is biased and biased, and he is still the patriarch of the Xu clan.
It should be the standard for a winner in life, but now it has been reduced to the appearance of a lost dog.
People say fate, Xu Pei doesn't believe it, but now he has to believe it.
He forced his cousin Xu Fei to death, so in the dark, he was also forced into the mountain urn city by others, and followed in Xu Fei's footsteps?
Xu Pei seemed to be stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was fate.
However, instead of becoming passive, he became more and more irritable, and many of his servants were beaten.
Looking at Xu Pei's current appearance, Han Yu couldn't equate the "madman" in front of him who couldn't withstand setbacks with the gentle and humble young man with great ambitions, as if that young man was just imagined by Han Yu. This made Han Yu extremely disappointed.
Han Yu and Cheng Xun couldn't persuade Xu Pei, and Xie Ze, as a brother-in-law, also came forward to persuade him, but he also returned in vain.
Now Xu Pei has drilled the tip of the bull's horns and entered a dead end, except for his own desire to open, others can't help him at all.
Han Yu sighed lightly, his warm eyebrows stained with sorrow, but he quickly adjusted, revealing his usual expression.
"Captain Xie, have the soldiers and horses in the city been counted neatly?"
Xu Pei picked a son, but Han Yu couldn't slack off, he was responsible for the soldiers in the city.
Xie Ze said, "It's been counted neatly...... However, the public's morale was sluggish, and the mood for war was very strong. Even if a few deserters were killed to set an example, the effect was not great. Outside, the enemy generals still shouted all day long, clamoring for rebellion against the soldiers, and now there are more and more deserters. ”
If the city is attacked quickly, Xie will not have such a headache.
But the enemy deliberately played tricks on them, attacked the city without attacking it, and held a strangely shaped horn all day long, and roared at the city gate.
I don't know what these people ate and grew up, and their voices are loud, and Xie Ze can't hear them if he stays in the city.
In fact, the soldiers who were responsible for shouting and provoking were loud, but not to this extent.
Jiang Pengji tossed out a big horn a long time ago, a thin copper sheet besieging the city in the shape of a cone, with a round mouth at the top, although the shape is simple, but the ability to transmit sound is not weak. If it is used to shout before the battle, the effect is even more leveraged, and now it will come in handy?
The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.
Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the army is the bottom.
Jiang Pengji didn't think about attacking the city, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and Xu Pei's remnants of the army were not dough, let alone how others could pinch it. If the city is forcibly attacked, with sufficient equipment in the city, Jiang Pengji and Yang Tao will have to dig up a piece of meat and put some blood in order to take the mountain urn city. After thinking about it, Yang Si, a wilted guy, came up with this trick.
Three shifts a day, 12 hours take turns to shout and shout, drums and trumpets in front of the formation, instigating the enemy's army.
Xu Pei suffered successive defeats, the morale of the army was shaky, and the soldiers had no opinions, a little provocation could make them shake, and the effect was immediate. There were more and more deserters, even if Xie Ze slaughtered them in public and stabilized the morale of the army a little, the soldiers were still panicking.
Xie Ze was too busy to tidy up his appearance, and his stubble had already appeared with a short head, looking much haggard and depressed than usual.
Han Yu had a headache and said, "Just killing deserters, it can still be effective for a while, but it will only backfire over time." ”
Killing one or two deserters can have a deterrent effect of killing chickens and setting an example, but if you kill a hundred or ten deserters, the soldiers below will not only not be obedient, but will feel that the generals are cruel, further consolidating their desire to escape.
Xie Ze also knows this truth.
Deserters can be allowed to overflow, and sooner or later the mountain urn city will be left without soldiers to defend.
"If the Lord could ......"
Xie opened his mouth, but swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach for a while.
If Xu Pei, as the main public, can take the initiative to stand up and boost morale, it can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also arouse the determination of the soldiers to fight to the death.
But -
Han Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't say a word.
"What's going on over there with Huang Song?"
Huang Song is their ally, although the relationship between the two parties is not very close, but without Huang Song's help, Xu Pei would have knelt a long time ago.
As soon as Han Yu asked, Xie Ze clenched his fists with a sad and angry face as if he had been humiliated.
"He, Huang Song left some people, but what use can those people have?"
Self-preservation is everyone's instinct, but as the discarded party, it is impossible for Xie Ze not to be angry and resentful.
Han Yu's tightly knit eyebrows became more and more entangled.
“…… Finally, is there any news from Zhejun?"
The morale of the army fell to the bottom, and the fall of Zhejiang County and the loss of the lives of relatives were one of the main reasons.
Han Yu is also worried about his family and his children, but he can't show it directly.
If he hadn't trusted Xie Ze, he wouldn't have dared to ask.
Xie Ze sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, "There is no news yet, I don't know if I live or die." ”
Han Yu said, "Yu and Liu Xi have several relationships, although I dare not guarantee it, but according to her temperament, she will not attack the old and young women." ”
The real strong are never achieved by suppressing and bullying the weak.
Xie Ze said with a sad face, "I hope so-"
His family is also in Zhejiang County, so it is impossible not to worry.
Han Yu looked in the direction of the city, his eyes shining with a bit of remembrance.
"Don't worry, she won't do that. Han Yu was determined.
Recently, the war has reached a stalemate, and Han Yu has limited what she can do, so she has a lot of time to reminisce about the past - Liu Xi in her memory is a high-spirited and somewhat rebellious teenager, if she really has the ambition to be in the world, she will not dig her own grave at such a time.
Xie Ze was surprised, "Why?"
Han Yu said, "Slaughtering the relatives and children of the enemy army, if she dares to bear such a notoriety, she will completely lose her qualification to win Kyushu." Not to mention, do you know how many family forces there are in this small mountain urn city? How big is the network of contacts between each other? Even if she Liu Xi has opened a lot of cold doors, her people are still related to other forces, just like Gongluo and Cheng Yuan under her account. In doing so, she not only cut off her own back road, ruined the foundation of her business for several years, but also buried a fatal hidden danger for herself. ”
Chasing the world has never been a one-man game, let alone a game of killing with a rod.
Jiang Pengji wants to absorb Xu Pei's power to strengthen herself, so it is impossible for her to completely offend people.
Xie Ze gasped.
He looked around and asked a very perverse question.
"Military advisor, if the mountain urn city is broken, the lord is unfortunate...... Then you ......"
Is it death, surrender or retreat?
Han Yu's pale eyes swept over, and Xie Ze's heart jumped.
