Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 81 Lose in one move
As nervous as Lu Xiaoxian, or even more nervous than him, was everyone except for the four remnant servants.
The four remnants had experienced too many of these formations, and the situation in front of them was nothing to them. Besides, they are old, and if they die here for their master, they won't have too many regrets, but the others are different.
There are countless choices in a person's life, but there are not many major choices. At this moment, the states of mind of the soldiers on both sides are different, and they are also faced with a choice.
Most of the soldiers on the rebel side didn't want to live, and many didn't want to rebel at the beginning, and they still had the idea of surrendering. But now they have no way out, their relatives have been slaughtered, and now the imperial court has sent a large army to exterminate them.
The courage and lineup of the rebels are alive and well. The wolves were right in front of them, grinning teeth and fierce eyes.
Most of the soldiers on the side of the Liuren Army didn't want to die, and Li Xun's passionate words still resounded in their ears.
After being a rook, their parents or grandparents were all high-spirited back then, and they all had a good family background at the beginning. Originally, they were all dead and ready to die in this deserted place, but now they suddenly have a chance, as long as they make meritorious contributions, they can return to Luoyang.
Before going to the battlefield, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, waiting to fight with the rebels and return home. But when you really get to the battlefield, your mood is different.
Chilling!
This is the first sense of the rogue soldier.
Lu Xiaoxian's face sank like water, whether in terms of numbers or momentum, the rogue army was much inferior to the rebels. If you don't break through the rebels' bucket formation as soon as possible, this monster-like giant bucket will be completely useless. Then they will have to wait for death.
Li Xun gave the order, and the Liuren army launched an assault, but it was in vain. The soldiers who are impacting are like buns beating dogs, not to mention that the other party is not a dog, but a pack of wolves with fighting qualities.
The situation is very unfavorable, and the rogue army has no way out.
If you retreat, you will be defeated, and if you advance, the enemy will be difficult to attack, and if you don't retreat, you will sit and wait to be killed.
As the commander of the First Army, Li Xun must make a choice in the shortest possible time.
Before, Lu Xiaoxian had persuaded Li Xun that it was not the best way to attack a war of attrition if the enemy was strong and I was weak. However, Li Xun was eager to make meritorious contributions, as if he wanted to swallow the rebels in one bite.
Now, facing the situation of the annihilation of the whole army, Li Xun is at a loss.
At the critical moment, the four remnants took the initiative to share the worries of their masters, and they thought of a solution. Back then, when they were fighting against the Western Turks, they tried this method.
"Looking for a group of people who are more afraid of death?" Listening to the strategy of the one-legged remnant, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Xun showed decisiveness in his temperament at this moment, and immediately agreed to send one person from the team to implement this plan.
The one-armed remnant smiled at the other three remnants: "We brothers, we haven't been separated for decades, and I have to leave today." I said goodbye to my three brothers, protect my master, and go first! ”
The one-armed remnant led more than 20 streamers, forming a death squad, lined up in three rows, shirtless, with swords in hand.
They walked up to the rebels and shouted in unison: "Today, we have formed an army to quell the rebellion, and we have the determination to die, so keep your eyes open and see!" ”
The words landed, and the one-armed remnant slashed his sword, blood splattered, and the corpse fell at the feet of the Wu soldiers.
None of the more than 20 people were timid, and they followed suit, and after a while, all the corpses were displayed in front of the battle.
This worked, and the rebel soldiers were terrified and confused.
This state is called "public fear", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Will Be Lost" says: "Public fear." Defeatable. ”
Lu Xiaoxian came from a later life, and although he did not agree with this method, he knew that this method was very effective. By exerting mental pressure on the enemy and increasing his psychological burden, the enemy will often fall into a state of "mass fear".
In the case of psychology, fear is an intense and repressed emotional state that is deeply felt by an individual or group in a real or imagined danger.
The rebels were originally an offensive operation, but they were intimidated by the feat of the Rogue Army, and the other party clearly stated: The Rogue is fearless, the Rogue is not afraid of death, and dares to fight to the death with you.
On the top of the hill not far away, next to Mr. Wang stood his two apprentices, Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian, who were condescendingly witnessing this scene.
"Are these rogues crazy?" Ouyang Jian said incredulously.
Mr. Wang sighed: "I don't know whose idea it was, it is estimated that Tan Ruyi will lose this time!" ”
The reason why Tan Ruyi's rebels have today's momentum is entirely because Mr. Wang is well-trained. But the violent demonstration of the Rookers was a fatal blow to the morale of the rebels.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and the bold are afraid of dying, this has long been overspoken. Many descriptions of wars blindly emphasize national hatred, conflicts of interest, politics, geography and other factors, but they forget the details and put people first. The most important detail on the battlefield is the influence of psychological factors on people.
War is a battle of wits and courage between people and people, and it is just a group of low-level animals piecing together a thrilling atmosphere and fighting scenes, which is called April Fool's Day.
One person's state of fear can also cause fear in others, contagious into a negative collective state of mind. This kind of infection does not require any contact, and it can be done with one eye without blood, mother-to-child, and sex. On the battlefield, this is very dangerous, often resulting in the weakening and loss of combat effectiveness.
Sure enough, while the rebels were panicking and confused, the Rogue Army lost no time in launching a charge.
In just a short moment, the situation of the two armies was completely reversed. The actions of the two dozen or so people who killed themselves boosted the morale of the other people, and the strong rebel army was disrupted, and they barely resisted, and fought and retreated.
The escape of the rebels was a greater encouragement to the Rogue Army, and the morale of the Rogue Army was even stronger, and they pursued and fought fiercely all the way. The rebels lost all the games in one move, and retreated one after another, and the more they retreated, the more miserable they became, and more than half of the more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded.
The first battle was won, and the news reached the city of Panzhou, and the people rejoiced, after all, they no longer had to worry about the rebels coming to bloody Panzhou in the future.
Also cheering were thousands of homeless families. Their sons fought against the rebels, and if they succeeded, their fate might be changed in the future. Of course, the only thing they can do in front of them is to pray to God to bless their loved ones safe on the battlefield.
Feng Man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the news, she didn't want her sweetheart to make much merit, she only hoped that he could return safely. As long as he can accompany him, he is better than anything else.
When Wan Guojun heard the news, although it was unexpected by him, he was not worried, whether they won or lost, they would definitely not be able to escape the palm of his hand.
When Li Qianli heard the news, he couldn't help but say to Murong Zhen: "I really didn't expect that he not only has strategy, but also understands the art of war, and is much stronger than me, and he will definitely become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”
Murong Zhen said disapprerovingly: "If I guessed correctly, he will definitely not be happy now, what he is thinking about now is how to jump out of the crisis!" ”
Murong Zhen's guess was right, Lu Xiaoxian was not happy that he had won the first victory, and the pit dug by Wan Guojun was still waiting for him. In addition to getting rid of Wan Guojun's control, he is now thinking most about the safety of the Rogue Army.
