Chapter 104: A little better

The news of the rebel army's failure to block reinforcements soon reached Ren Feng's ears.

Perhaps because he has won every battle since he took power, Ren Feng has the illusion that the regular army is nothing more than this.

Leng Bu was surprised to hear that his most well-equipped troops were directly defeated without blocking the opponent's charge for a round, which made Ren Feng difficult to accept for a while.

"Don't underestimate the Empire's army at any time. The ones you've encountered before aren't all useless rice buckets. At the very least, this army in Maershan has never been defeated. ”

The man in black who spoke was secretly helping Ren Feng plan, he not only secretly helped Ren Feng to give advice, but also sent people to mix in the chaotic army, taking advantage of Dai's unpreparedness to take advantage of his head.

After Daishu's reinforcements were destroyed, Ren Feng concentrated on encircling and annihilating Shen Xia, but Shen Xia was not the kind of second-hand man of Daishu.

The biggest advantage of the rebel army is its numbers, and if you leave out most of the people, the rebel army does not even have the level to fight head-on with the Yamaji battalion.

And Shen Xia also adopted the strategy of avoiding and not fighting because he considered that fighting hard with the rebels would increase casualties.

He showed his talents as a reserve general. On the premise that the whole army was trapped in Maershan and its own grain and grass were insufficient, they attacked the east and west to snatch part of the grain and grass of the rebel army.

Then he built fortifications according to the dangerous situation of the mountain, and stubbornly resisted until now.

And now that Han Ming's reinforcements are about to arrive, if Ren Feng can't come up with a countermeasure, Shen Xia's side will immediately take action as soon as he receives the news, and when the time comes, Ren Feng will definitely be defeated.

However, Ren Feng's biggest advantage is that he is calm and not anxious.

Although the man in black didn't like what he said, he knew that the other party was telling the truth. Although I don't know who the man in black is, since people are here to help me, even if they use it, they are always helping themselves, so whenever there is something to decide, I always ask his opinion first.

"Please sir teach me. Ren Feng lowered his posture and asked humbly.

"The one who led the troops this time was Han Ming from the defense camp in Shangjing, and this person was not an ordinary person. Now the army of Maershan cannot be defeated, and if it does not retreat, it will definitely be attacked from both sides. ”

Judging from the slightly old voice of the man in black, he should be relatively old, but he is full of middle qi, and he should be a person who has cultivated battle qi.

In fact, Ren Feng has always felt that being trapped here is not good for himself, and now the thoughts of the man in black coincide with his own, which is naturally the best.

So he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army and retreated to Plains City.

As soon as Ren Feng withdrew his troops, Shen Xia led the troops to rush out as soon as possible.

The rebel army was numerous, and Ren Feng's order to withdraw the army naturally made a mess.

Ren Feng's rear army was the first to leave. The rebel army that had been surrounding Maershan had just received the news after the rear army had left, and under the hasty withdrawal of the army, Shen Xia seized the opportunity to desperately pursue and kill.

The rebels threw away their armor along the way, and their corpses were strewn all over the field, with countless casualties. However, this loss is nothing to Ren Feng, he has nothing else now, just a lot of people.

As soon as Han Ming's scouts saw the rebels lifting the blockade, they immediately contacted Shen Xiabu. Han Ming also received the news as soon as possible, and he decided to make a change in tactics.

In the big tent, Han Ming, Kuang Yue, Zhang Dabiao, Xu Hua, Wang Xuan, Crazy Qi and others gathered together and discussed the next action.

The reason why Kuang Yue was also there was completely her own request, at first she thought it was fun to lead the troops, but after a long time, she felt bored, so she just hurried and didn't do anything, but Han Ming also told her that this is war.

If this was war, she would not believe it.

Every time someone came over to deliver information, he only saw Han Ming say a few words to the generals, command twice, and then sit there and look at the map, without the slightest move to go to the front line.

There is no Jin Ge Iron Horse she wants at all, and she is full of anger. In her opinion, it's just boring.

"How do you understand that this is called strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. Han Ming explained to her.

How could it be so easy to fight, she didn't believe it, so as soon as she heard that Han Ming was going to have a meeting to discuss, she immediately rushed over. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Han Ming was personally analyzing, and then everyone put forward their opinions, but under normal circumstances, no one would put forward opinions.

"I just received the news that the rebels have withdrawn to Plains City, what do you think? Han Ming asked.

"Chase, catch up, hit, just hit to the death. ”

You don't have to guess to know that it was Zhang Dabiao who said this, he had just finished an encounter before, and he was on the back burner at this time, so he naturally wanted things to be simple and direct.

But what was surprising was that Xu Hua didn't tease Zhang Dabiao, but thought silently there, which really surprised Han Ming with his change.

"You reckless man has to change his mind, if the rebels were so easy to deal with, no army would have been defeated one after another. Han Ming said.

Zhang Dabiao smiled when he heard Han Ming's words.

"I'm a big boss, I don't understand this, I'll fight wherever the commander tells me to fight, hehe. ”

"Commander, according to our subordinates, we don't need to rush forward, we just need to take it step by step, and after recovering the lost territory, we will consolidate our strength. The strength of the enemy army is inferior to ours, and if we come steadily, the rebels will naturally not be able to parry. ”

Unprecedentedly, Xu Hua actually said this with a straight look, which really made Han Minggao look at him, it seems that there was a big problem with Xu Hua's previous evaluation.

Han Ming nodded, "Well, General Xu is right, the reason why the rebels can win is that one is to rely on the terrain to sneak attack, and the other is the army's heart to light the enemy, now that we are fighting steadily, the enemy army is naturally anxious, and the enemy army is in a hurry, and it is bound to leak flaws." ”

"The commander analyzes it. Wang Xuan praised without losing time.

Kuang Yue listened to it in a fog, she didn't know anything about war, but when she saw Han Ming's confident eyes, she felt very relieved.

Then, Han Ming assigned the task, Zhang Dabiao was the vanguard, Wang Xuan led the new army to respond on the right, and Han Ming and Xu Hua led the Chinese army and slowly advanced.

Fifty miles away from Pingyuan City, Han Ming saw Shen Xia. Looking at the gray-faced Shen Xia, Han Ming greeted him.

"General Shen worked hard, this time General Shen was able to block hundreds of thousands of thieves with only more than 30,000 people, and he would have admired it. Although the general made mistakes, it is enough to see that the general's military talent is outstanding and his future is limitless. ”

Hearing Han Ming's praise, Shen Xia smiled awkwardly.

"Commander Han don't laugh, the general of the defeated army, how can he talk about being outstanding. Countless brothers have died because of me, and the sin general really has no face to continue to lead the army. In the future, I will listen to the orders of the commander of Han. ”

"In life, who can guarantee that they will be invincible? As long as we remember why we lost this time, it is not a good thing to eat a trench and grow wise. Han Ming comforted.

Shen Xia clasped his hands into fists, "Commander Han is right, the sin will definitely wash away the shame and give an explanation to the brothers." ”

"Well," Han Ming nodded, "Don't worry, as long as this battle is fought, Your Majesty, I will naturally intercede for you." ”

"Thank you, Commander Han. Shen Xia hugged his fists again and thanked him.

Han Ming looked in the direction of Plains City and said to Shen Xia, "General Shen, I have a very important task to hand over to you now. ”

......

It was a full ten days before Han Ming's army arrived in Plains City.

The reason why this short road has been walking for so long is because Ren Feng has not been idle, he took out the routine he is best at, and constantly sent people to harass him by taking advantage of the high mountains and deep forests on the side of the road, and the familiarity of the personnel with the terrain.

But Ren Feng didn't expect that his opponent was much stronger than him in terms of playing harassment.

The bandits scattered in the forest are like naked girls in the eyes of the scouts.

After a while, a scream sounded in the surrounding forests, and the soldiers who were marching on the side of the road heard it, thinking that it was a sneak attack by the rebels, and immediately set up a formation and waited for it.

It was Han Ming who informed the battalion generals to avoid such embarrassment.

Then the soldier became accustomed to it, and walked along the main road, screaming from time to time on the side of the road, but everyone was indifferent.

Although they looked expressionless, the soldiers were very excited in their hearts. No one wants to die, if they walk on the road and shoot a hidden arrow, although there are many people who don't get in the way, no one dares to guarantee that the next arrow will not be their own.

If this is the case, then the soldiers will have to be mentally tense when they are in a hurry, and the physical energy will be consumed too much, and they will suffer a lot in the next battle.

Shen Xia suffered this loss in the first place.

Now, as everyone walked on the road, listening to the screams of the enemy, they marched towards the enemy, and the morale of the soldiers was invisibly improved. I always feel that the battle has not started yet, and my side has already won the battle. Listening to this scream, all the soldiers felt that this sound was even more beautiful than the little song sung by the singers of the song and dance studio.

But Kuang Yue is an exception, her spirit along the way is not good, listening to the screams, but there is no figure, although she knows that it is the enemy but she is also panicked, it is estimated that she will have nightmares when she sleeps at night, she began to regret it a little.

Han Ming looked at Kuang Yue's appearance and shook his head, after all, this was a bloody battlefield, not a fairy tale in an epic, and it was not as beautiful as she thought.

He tore a small ball of cotton from his underwear and stuffed it into Kuang Yue's ear.

After being stuffed with cotton in her ears, Kuang Yue really couldn't hear the sound, but she didn't want to stay here any longer, and she regretted that she didn't listen to Han Ming's words and stayed in Zuojun.

Han Ming listened to the voices coming from time to time around him, and his heart was slightly angry. Come and don't be rude, since Ren Feng gave him these small means, he naturally has to pay some respect.

Plains City.

Ren Feng was discussing with a group of leaders how to deal with the enemy, and the people he sent out to harass him had not yet returned, and Ren Feng guessed that they were more than lucky. So he discussed with the leaders how to make some stumbling blocks for Han Ming's troops.

"Boss, it's not good, the granary in the west of the city is on fire. Suddenly, someone ran in and said.

"What? What do you guys look at? Are so many people all rubbish?" said a leader named Ma Zhuan.

"How's the fire?" Ren Feng asked.

"The brothers are putting out the fire, and judging by the form of the fire, it is estimated that most of it has been burned. ”

As soon as Ren Feng heard this, he immediately stepped forward to grab him and asked sharply, "What's the matter, didn't you send so many people?"

The man trembled and said, "Fire, the fire is lit from the inside, and some people mingle with the crowd of people who are getting food, and they set fire to the inner warehouse while the brothers are not prepared." ”

"Boss, it's not good. "Ren Feng was just about to have a seizure, and someone outside the door came to report.

"Boss, there is a brother in the north of the city who drank well water and was poisoned. ”

Ren Feng's eyes widened and he grabbed the man, "Did the person who poisoned him catch it?"

"It's not clear, the well water was fine before, but this afternoon there was a sudden problem, and some livestock also fell ill. ”

Ren Feng slapped the table angrily and roared angrily: "Send someone immediately to keep a close watch over the rest of the granaries and wells for me." Remember, don't let anyone do it again. Otherwise, don't come back. ”

His men trembled and left in a hurry.

Thinking of the series of things that had just happened, Ren Feng felt an unprecedented challenge. This time, the enemy he faced was more difficult than anyone before, and he had to think carefully about how to deal with it.

Every time at this time, Ren Feng felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Although there are many people under him, they are all narrow-minded, and as soon as they hit the plain city, they went to buy real estate, divide the land, and indulge in the gentle township every night, Ren Feng has criticized them more than once.

But it's useless, just come anyway. If this continues, it will not be possible.

And the man in black suddenly disappeared some time ago, and Ren Feng sent people to look for it for a long time but didn't find it. Now he is more like a loner.

Recalling the days when he was in the countryside and a family of three lived in harmony, Ren Feng was deeply saddened.

These days, all the way, seeing those scenes of his wife being separated, he was touched a lot, and his original anger disappeared, and he even doubted himself for a while, what is the purpose of doing this, is this really the result he wants?
