Chapter 242: Sending Troops to Fight Sanjiang City Again (continued)
Originally, in Ma Chao's opinion, because of Meng Youhe's brought, he brought 20,000 horses to pursue his side, but he mistakenly hit his own ambush and finally lost about 10,000 men and horses.
So in his opinion, this should affect the morale of the Southern Barbarian Army very much. But if you look at it this way, it's not like that at all. Isn't it, this group of Nanban soldiers guarding the city is definitely a little more powerful than those in Yutongshan.
Why do you say that, it is those Southern Barbarian soldiers who were in Yutong Mountain before, maybe because they have been defeated, they have been defeated, so in the end, basically many remnants of the soldiers have become frightened birds. But this batch is different, maybe they haven't seen their own strength before, and when defending the city, they still have the advantage. Later, although it was his own side, he also destroyed 10,000 of them, but now that he looks at it, this actually did not have much impact on them.
So this has to make Ma Chao think a lot, it seems that his own deterrent power is still not enough, otherwise how can it have no impact on them? ββ
When Lei Tong was forced to retreat by the soldiers at the head of the city, he had no choice but to let Meng Da go, but he retreated with his men and horses.
Because he also knew that even if he went up again, it would be in vain, and he would have to be beaten back. These people in the city today are eyeing themselves, and what else can they say.
After saying to Meng Da to take care, Lei Tong took the people back to the team. After seeing Ma Chao, he said: "Lord, the subordinates are not attacking well!" β
Ma Chao smiled. "General Lei Tong's watch today, I see it all. In fact, it is already very good, and as for the final result, it is actually not something you and I can expect. Let's see how Zijing is, I hope he can make some achievements. β
Regarding what his lord said, Lei Tong could only listen to it and didn't say anything more. Actually, he knows it. My lord is like this, these things are still very distinct-
As a result, Meng Da also learned from Lei Copper. In Shu Di's words, he shouted at the Liangzhou sergeant: "The whole army charges!" β
The soldiers flocked to Sanjiang City again. In Meng Da's view, today's thunder copper has been taken special care of. Then I guess it's even more like this. Isn't it? Let's just say that looking at the other party's posture now, this is not ready to let go of yourself.
Sure enough, Meng You repeated his old tricks again at the head of the city, and said the previous words to all the Southern Barbarian soldiers guarding the city, anyway, if he can injure and kill the enemy's main general, then his own king will definitely be rewarded.
This wealth is moving, the so-called "the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded. It's all for the sake of profit", in fact, I think about it. That's exactly what happened.
The Southern Barbarian soldiers are the same, and they are not beyond the world, so for the sake of reward, they can be regarded as doing their best. They also know that now that their own side has an advantage, they naturally have to fight back against the other party, or there are not so many good opportunities.
Meng Da on the ladder, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The heart said that last time, it was his own bad luck, but this time, he was unlucky with Lei Tong.
As a result, they were already halfway up, and in desperation, Meng Da still retreated. He also knew that this southern barbarian army, looking at the field battle in Yutong Mountain, they were not very good. But in such a siege war, they have become more powerful. Indeed, if the other party was a lamb when he was in Yutongshan before, then now, he is a wolf. But no matter what it is, you are a tiger, and in this case, it is not easy to do it whether it is a lamb or a wolf.
It's just that if the other party is like this when he is in Yutongshan, then Meng Da believes that his side will still win, but the casualties will be much more than before. Then there were more than 70,000 people who came to Sanjiang City before, but in that case, there would definitely not be so many.
Seeing that Meng Da was forced to retreat, Ma Chao once again asked the soldier to sing gold.
He also knows Meng Daqi's character, if he doesn't Mingjin, he will definitely attack again, but at this time, it is indeed very dangerous. Because he was not good at attacking cities, he was more dangerous than Lei Tong.
When Lei Tong went up, wasn't he also forced to retreat, so Meng Da was like this, which was expected by Ma Chao. As for not letting Meng Da attack again, whether there will be any misunderstanding among his people, this Ma Chao thinks it should not. Because no matter what you say, you are also for his good, and you don't mean anything else.
And with Ma Chao's understanding of Meng Da, Meng Da has a lot of ideas, so he should still be able to understand himself, otherwise he can think so much, can't he think of his intentions?
For this, Ma Chao thinks that it will not be, at least Meng Da will think of it, and he will understand. I don't favor one over the other, it's really Meng Da, in leading troops to attack the city, it's not as good as Lei Tongββ
Meng Da was very unwilling to retreat, because this time, he found that his lord let himself lead his troops to attack once, and after he had no choice but to retreat from the ladder, his lord let the soldiers mingjin.
Speaking of which, he was particularly unhappy with this. But he really thought about it, his lord did this, in the final analysis, he was still afraid that he would lose. Even if you admit it, you are indeed inferior to Lei Tong in this, and there is nothing you don't admit about it.
Then this is true of my own lord. I'm afraid that something will happen to me. However, I am indeed unwilling, but when I think of this. But it's not incomprehensible.
After leading the troops to retreat, when he came back to see his lord, Ma Chao said: "Zijing, don't blame me, I'm afraid you will lose, but you have to do it!" β
Meng Da hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lord's intentions, the subordinates understand, thank you for caring about the subordinates." It's just that the subordinates are for the lord and the army. Shame on you! βββ
Ma Chao laughed when he heard this, "Zijing is thinking too much, the art of war." "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers"! Now we haven't lost yet, it's just that the siege is unfavorable, so Zijing doesn't have to think about it, our victory is behind! β
"No! Subordinates obey the orders of the lord! β
"Good! Everybody. Let's go back to camp! β
"No!"
As a result, Ma Chao just turned the horse's head and wanted to leave. The head of Sanjiang City erupted in bursts of laughter. You don't need to look at it to know that this is Meng You's kid's idea. Especially after he was captured alive by his own side, he didn't know how to resent his own side in his heart. But for the rest, he had no way to take revenge, so he could only lead his troops to defend the city, and then watch his own retreat, and he asked his soldiers to laugh at him.
Although I can't understand what the Nanban soldiers are shouting, this is not difficult to understand. Everyone was upset.
Isn't it, who is this to blame? Who can be cool?
However, his lord had already ordered the whole army to retreat and return to the camp, so everyone would not say anything. Anyway, the so-called "out of sight, out of mind" is also like that.
But it's true, everyone went back with a stomach full of anger. And Ma Chao, as the main father, also saw something, but on the way back to the camp, he didn't say anything. But after looking at Lu Xun, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Really, can you not worry about this? That's impossible, this is already the third siege and there is nothing to take advantage of. Ma Chao really doesn't believe in evil, he doesn't believe it, this alien race, the stockade of the Nanban tribe, can actually block his own strong attack?
But what if you don't believe it, now this is the truth in front of you, whether you believe it or not, it's all a fact.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, Cui An shouted, "I'm so fucking angry, I must kill in Sanjiang City, kill!" Kill! Kill! β
As he spoke, he waved his gold-painted halberd and muttered something else, but everyone couldn't hear it clearly.
Ma Chao didn't care, in his opinion, his generals and soldiers actually need to vent. If it is said that he defeated the men and horses pursued by the Southern Barbarian Army before and captured Meng You alive, this can be regarded as venting the feelings of the soldiers for the strength of the previous attack on Sanjiang City. But now this defeat is another defeat, but how can the soldiers vent well.
Ma Chao glanced at Lu Xun at this time, Lu Xun smiled, he knew his lord's concerns.
So at this time, I heard Lu Xun say: "The lord's worries, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates think that our army can ......."
Then, Lu Xun told Ma Chao what he thought. Not to mention, after Ma Chao listened, he did nod, "Okay, in this case, just Yi Boyan!" βββ
At this time, when they arrived at the camp, Ma Chao took everyone back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after everyone sat down, Ma Chao said: "Today's attack on the city by our army is not good, but I don't blame Lei Tong and Zijing." But our sergeants are not allowed to vent, this is not good. I asked Bo Yan before, and came up with a solution, let's take a look, and that is to let ......"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads, because what their lord said was indeed good. The point is that Lu Xun's idea is very good.
So the people agreed and did so. Ma Chao finally decided, "Okay, since everyone agrees, then so be it!" β
"The lord is wise!"
Everyone spoke in unison, and then Ma Chao gave the order to let the soldiers of the big battalion start to set up straw men. That's right, this is Lu Xun's idea, because the soldiers want to vent, so replace the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Army with straw men, and then let the soldiers "kill the straw men." In Ma Chao's opinion, Lu Xun's idea is really unavoidable. At least he thinks it will do something.
As a result, many soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, although not all, but also the vast majority, began to carry out the activities of the grass people. But some of them knew the purpose of the straw man, and some of them didn't. But whether they understand it or they don't understand it, they all follow the orders and do things according to their lord's orders.
After more than 5,000 of them were finally pierced, Ma Chao said to the soldiers that these straw men were the Southern Barbarian soldiers guarding the city, and let all the Liangzhou soldiers and soldiers "slaughter" them as much as they wanted.
As a result, when the Liangzhou sergeant heard this, many people's eyes lit up, and then the grass man was unlucky. There is no way, as the imaginary enemy of the Liangzhou army, they have indeed endured the infinite anger of the Liangzhou soldiers. As a result, the last five thousand straw men, not long after, that is, let the Liangzhou army for a few rounds, and finally all of them were reimbursed.
Ma Chao looked at it, and said in his heart that this straw man is useful, but it is really not too forbidden. This straw man let the soldier for a few rounds, and he was all reimbursed, too. Not to mention a straw man, this is a little better than a living person. If it were a living person, it would have been stabbed to death at once. But the straw man, if you prick it, it basically won't be broken.
But for Ma Chao, he thinks that this is actually very good. Isn't it, this use of straw men to replace the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians has actually achieved great results.
At least he finally found out, it should be said that there were many soldiers, and they did vent a lot, and some of them also vented their dissatisfaction in their hearts. This is definitely not, Ma Chao is counting on all the negative feelings in his heart to vent, but as long as it is effective, it is actually good, isn't it. (To be continued......)
