"How many deserters have appeared in the barracks by the end of the evening?" Zhang Suo asked gloomily.
"At the beginning, it was just dozens of deserters, but now there are more and more of them, just arrested another batch, there are hundreds of soldiers, and there are a few commanders among them, if it continues like this, I'm afraid that within three days, our deserters will be as high as four or five percent, after all, our soldiers are all mediocre children, such a threat, no one can stop it!"
Li Ye said bitterly: "The most important thing is that if we catch these deserters, we don't dare to kill a hundred people, once we kill them, it will inevitably cause a mutiny in the army, and our Shangyong military camp will be finished!" β
"What a trick!"
Zhang Suo sighed, his eyes flashed with a cold glow: "This is not like a method that the main general of the herdsman can think of, but it is ......"
"What is it?"
Zhang Wei asked.
"I know my mediocre soldiers so well, and I can still hit the key point with one hit, I'm afraid there are only mediocre people, Ye Ru of the Ye family, Ye Mingsheng, this guy is obviously taking revenge on a certain family!" Zhang Suo said coldly.
"If you want me to say, you dared to cut him with a knife in the first place!"
Zhang Wei said hatefully: "This guy will ruin our overall situation, break through the mediocrity, and I will destroy his Ye family!" β
"I could have killed him at the beginning, how could I keep him, even if I wanted to kill him now, I couldn't kill him, and now the situation is not that you are destroying him, but that he is the heart of our whole army!"
Zhang Suo calmed down: "If we continue like this, we won't be able to stand up for long, once the army's heart is broken, my eight thousand Shangyong soldiers will be defeated without a fight, and at that time, with your three thousand soldiers, we will inevitably encounter encirclement and suppression!" β
"How's that good?" Zhang Wei was also impatient.
He can't let the Shangyong soldiers collapse, once the Shangyong soldiers collapse, his three thousand soldiers and horses will be in trouble, this is a matter of cold lips and teeth.
"Attack!"
Zhang Suodao: "We have no way out, they are forcing us to attack Shangyong, if we don't fight, deserters will continue to appear, only by attacking Shangyong, can we have a chance to regain the heart of the army!" β
"But there are still a few days left for reinforcements from Xicheng!"
"Can't wait!"
Zhang Suo shook his head: "Don't say a few days, another day, I may not be able to control the military spirit of the soldiers, our foundation is in the mediocrity, lost the mediocrity, it has already affected the morale of the army, and now they are still coming to such a hand, I tell you, I don't even dare to sleep at ease, for fear that any of them will pick my head to ask for credit, so without further ado, we must attack and win the mediocrity!" β
"The last general is going to prepare!" Li Ye said with his hand and turned to leave.
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.
"Nope!"
Zhang Suo shook his head: "I fell into a passive, passive attack, how can I be sure, I just hope that my attack can stimulate the morale of the soldiers under my command and stabilize the morale of the army!" β
He thought for a while and said, "This time, I'm going to trouble your soldiers and horses to be the vanguard, after all, Shangyong City is their homeland, and it is difficult for them to exert their main combat effectiveness!" β
"Yes!"
Zhang Wei didn't shirk it, at this time he also understood that it was a troublesome thing for Shangyong soldiers and horses to attack Shangyong City, but the soldiers and horses under his command were not forbidden and could attack at will.
"In addition, you have to be careful, we are just feints, we can just put out the offensive momentum, and we must not attack!"
"Why?"
"They forced us to attack, it is nothing more than to damage our troops, we are forced to attack, there is nothing to do, but we can't let them lead the way, we should fight, but we may not fight as he wants!"
The corners of Zhang Suo's mouth outlined a cold smile: "They think they can pinch me like this, then they look down on me too much!" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Kill!"
"Attack!"
"Archer, cover!"
"Take the ladder and go up!"
"Sons, follow me to the city wall and kill in!"
Under the city, the battle suddenly started, Zhang Wei personally led the army to attack, and the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command were like wolves and tigers, and suddenly attacked the city wall in front.
"The gates are closed!"
Chen Zhi stood at the head of the city, looked at the black and oppressive heads under the city, and asked in a deep voice.
"Shut it off!"
Zhang Shi handed over his hand and reported: "Although we have prepared, but the enemy army is not fooled, the prepared tung oil did not come in handy, they are very shrewd, but they almost let them drill Confucius, from the left and right sides of the attack!" β
"If you don't fall for it, you won't be fooled!"
Chen Zhi smiled indifferently: "They are not so easy to deal with, it is already a good thing to force them to attack the city wall!" β
As he spoke, he arched his hand to Ye Ru next to him: "This is all the credit of Ming Shenggong!" β
"It's just a gesture!"
Ye Ru shook his head: "But I want to advise Captain Chen, Zhang Suo is not such a person who is so easily manipulated, he has no choice but to attack, but he may not have other thoughts in his heart, Captain Chen still has to be careful!" β
"Hmm!"
Chen Zhi nodded approvingly, the more he fought, the more he found that this Shangyong County Commander Zhang Suo was not simple, and now he didn't dare to have a little contempt for this Zhang Suo.
"Mo Bao, Zhang Shi!"
"In!"
"You personally sit at the head of the city, and the defense is the main thing, mainly to consume the soldiers and horses under the city!" Chen Zhi instructed.
"No!"
The two were commanded.
The battle should have been in full swing, but this battle seemed to be unhurried and impatient, the pace of the attack of the soldiers and horses outside the city was very slow, and the soldiers and horses in the city defended to a certain extent, but it became a stalemate battle.
A day later.
On the city wall, the battle of more than 100 dead and wounded on both sides is still ongoing.
Zhang Suo increased his troops, he pressed the Shangyong soldiers up, after he personally pacified the army, although these soldiers had the impatient heart to return to the city, but they still obeyed Zhang Suo's appeasement, and returned to Shangyong in an offensive way, but it seemed that the attack was a little fierce.
In the city, Mo Bao and Zhang Shi also pressed most of the troops.
It was like a close battle.
Above the county office.
Chen Zhi studied the topographic map: "Around Shangyong, it looks flat, but there are many rugged hills!" β
"Captain Chen wants to find a battlefield?"
Ye Ru's ability these days has allowed him to quickly rise to the top and become the first staff member under Chen Zhi now, Chen Zhi will discuss with him about big and small matters in the city, and he is also happy to do it.
"Hmm!"
Chen Zhi nodded: "I feel that the decisive battle is coming!" β
"A decisive battle?"
Ye Ru's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Lord Minghou's main force is here?" β
"It's coming!"
Chen Zhi nodded: "Before this, I want to have a hard fight with Zhang Suo!" β
Before the main force came, he didn't dare to do his best, for fear that his slightest mistake would cause the loss of Shangyong City, but now, he had received the news, at least one day, at most two days, Zhang Liao's main force would rush to Shangyong.
This is a good opportunity for him to strike.
"Hard-hitting?"
Ye Ru pondered for a while, pointed to one of the terrains, and said: "The southeast of the suburbs, less than ten miles, this is a suitable battlefield for a decisive battle, although the terrain here is a hill, you can go up and down the road, you can let go of your hands and feet!" β
"Here?"
Chen Zhi stared at the place where Ye Ru said: "Xiaoshan Town? β
Around Shangyong, there are many hills, but there are few plains, and there are not many rivers, but there is a moat, and this small mountain town is not built on the slopes, but the hills are vertical and horizontal, and the adobe city wall is regarded as a mountain city.
"That's right!"
Ye Ru said: "This is a small town, but the population is not large, the terrain is strange, the most important thing is that it extends in all directions, there are roads in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the terrain is also open, although the hills are undulating, there is no end to the horizon, there are few ambushes, suitable for a decisive battle!" β
"Then it's going to have to be planned!"
Chen Zhi squinted, and the thoughts in his mind turned: "How can we introduce them to this small mountain town?" β
"It's not that hard!"
Ye Ru thought for a while and said: "As long as Captain Chen sends some soldiers and horses out of the road, intending to attack them from their belly and back, they will naturally defend, their camp tents are crisscrossed by the city walls on both sides of the southeast, if they want to defend the back, it is nothing more than relying on the mountain city of Xiaoshan Town to defend!" β
"Good way!"
Chen Zhi smiled and said with appreciation: "Ming Sheng Gong is not only proficient in government affairs, but also familiar with military strategy, and a certain family admires it!" β
"My uncle used to be the master bookkeeper of Hanzhong!"
Su Xin stood next to him and added: "In the past, he was one of his uncle's advisors, but it's a pity that his uncle was too upright and refused to listen to his advice, otherwise how could Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's rebellion come!" β
"Definitely!"
Ye Ru was very modest and said: "Lord Su Gu has his considerations, he has not done anything wrong in the overall situation, he has already persuaded Liu Yan wholeheartedly, turn back to the shore, and be loyal to the imperial court, but Liu Yan's ambition has risen, it is difficult to collect the water, he can't tolerate him, he is unwilling to retreat, the land of Hanzhong, sooner or later, the army will be in chaos!" β
"Mingsheng Gong helped me, a great achievement, I will personally report to the lord, and when my lord attacks Hanzhong in the coming day, I will be entrusted with a heavy task!"
Chen Zhi said sincerely.
The importance of talents, Mu Jing is emphasizing all the time, so the Jingping army attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents, and the competition for talents is open and secret.
He met Ye Mingsheng with such a talent, how could he let it go.
"Now that I'm angry, I just hope that I'm okay!"
Ye Ru said indifferently.
After Su Gu's death, he once wrote to the imperial court, angrily denouncing Liu Yan's guilt, but the court was in chaos, and his recital, even Hanzhong, had been placed in front of Liu Yan's sitting, and the general trend had gone, and he couldn't help but be a little disheartened.
If it weren't for the Su family being killed, and the Ye family was oppressed and had no way to escape, he would not have gone out of the mountains to help the herdsmen enter the city.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Zhi laughed: "Ming Shenggong said this difference, such a good life, how can it be wasted in the wilderness, my father-in-law said, this is the worst era, but also the best era, my generation of men, make contributions, is at this moment!" β
"The worst of times? The best of times? Is this a description of the troubled times, Ming Hou is really an unusual person, it is rumored that Ming Hou entered Beijing as a young man after the battle of Runan, planned for the Lord Xiangguo, and crisscrossed various forces, and his performance was quite extraordinary. Ye Ru's eyes flashed with a gleam.
Today's Ming Hou is the former young master of the Mu family, who is a person who became famous all over the world at a young age, and he is naturally a little curious.
"The main princess will soon be mediocre, you will have a chance!"
Chen Zhi smiled.
He took a deep breath, his face became pale, he raised his head slightly, his tiger eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Come on, summon Zhang Shi immediately!" β
"Yes!"
The herald quickly summoned Zhang Shi back from the battlefield.
"The last general, Zhang Shi, meet the captain!"
"Zhang Shi, now I'll give you a task!"
"Captain, please!"
"You lead the fifth battalion out of the battlefield, out of the city from the north, detour to the east, to the southeast, and surprise the belly and back of the military camp outside the city, remember, you have to take this road, fight with one blow, retreat with one blow, and after the rear, go to this place, the small mountain town!"
Chen Zhi pointed to the map and carefully drew a marching route for him, including the route of the battle, which was clearly marked.
"When?" Zhang Shi asked.
"Now!"
"Now?"
"Yes, now!" There was a fierce aura in Chen Zhi's expression: "The main force led by Zhang Liao is already less than thirty miles away from Shangyong, even if you take the mountain road, it will be a day, and we have reached the time for a decisive battle!" β
