Chapter 419: The First Defeat in the Psychological War (Part II)
The so-called military spirit is often not so simple to grasp, but if you really want to quantify and summarize, there are actually a lot of things, and there are enough universality.
From ancient times to the present, the battle of a large army, the real collapse of the army is never a physical blow, a person's consciousness is bound by the will of tens of millions of people, what they think, has never been the point, what really determines the outcome is often each person's view of the entire group, if you can comprehensively summarize, and then take one of the averages, is the strength or weakness of the army.
Strict training, everyone around him has a strong physique, a reason not to retreat, strict military regulations, and every drill that is forbidden by order. All these things go to the bottom, in fact, they are all adding a bargaining chip in people's hearts, "we are very strong", "we will never retreat", the heavier the chips, the stronger the army, the so-called military heart, to the most is such a simple thing, and to achieve it, you need to temper a thousand times.
The people of Liangshan were originally an army with such beliefs when they went down the mountain, but their "very strong" cognition did not come from training, military regulations, etc., but in every robbery and killing, watching the enemy's fear gradually formed. It's a pity that this kind of self-confidence that there is no rival in Shandong is really pressing down too many hidden dangers.
When these things are detonated once in a matter of days, and the battlefield killing begins, not many people think they will retreat. They are still hungry to win, hungry to win. It's a pity that the so-called military spirit has never been on this, but when the other side shouts such rumors, everyone will feel "impossible" or "possible" in their hearts.
The psychology of only being separated by a line, when it converges into the heart of the army, determines the ownership of tens of millions of lives.
The sun shines on the clouds, rendering the afternoon scene bright, and on Zhujiazhuang, the shouting and killing continues, and it has not stopped. Shonai's shouting continued excitedly. Wave after wave of people rushed up the stone wall and were killed again. Only the middle and high-ranking generals of Liangshan can understand that the casualties on their side are continuing to increase, and as time passes. The fighting spirit of the soldiers of Liangshan. It's still decreasing.
In just one hour. The number of casualties on Liangshan's side is probably close to 3,000, which is a huge damage caused by the desperate attack of many leaders on Liangshan. Countless flags poured over and were pressed back. The stone wall of Zhujiazhuang is constantly becoming strong and tall in the eyes of everyone in Liangshan.
At this time, the rate of casualties on Liangshan's side had begun to slow down. When the initial frenzy passed, in the midst of the constant shouting inside, the morale of the army was shaken, and after the brothers who rushed to the stone wall were drowned one by one, the soldiers who were charging head-on were already somewhat hesitant, and even some small and medium-sized leaders began to weigh whether the withdrawal of troops was the right way, and no one thought that 15,000 people would have to fight a war of attrition with 3,000 people after reaching the peak.
"What is there to say! Didn't you know the truth from the beginning! If we can't beat this Zhuangzi, we won't be able to go back! On the side of the battlefield, Lu Zhishen bandaged the wound, lifted the Zen staff and began to organize the next wave of attacks. ”
On the other side, Lin Chong and other generals were also continuing to cheer up their subordinates, when the brothers or subordinates who were familiar with each other in the mountains hesitated to come over and ask if they wanted to retain their strength, and if they would want to retreat after fighting like this. However, it was also these leaders who had more or less opposed the strong attack before Song Jiang was mobilized, and chose the most resolute attack at this time.
The army's heart is in turmoil, and if someone comes to ask them, they may be able to suppress it, but in such a military formation, I don't know how many people in Ludao may already have this kind of idea in their hearts, but they don't want to say it, that's the problem.
But the bow was opened, and there was no turning back at this time.
For the people of Liangshan, bearing the huge casualties that have been accumulating, feeling the collapse of the army's morale and the shaking of morale, this is an extremely huge pressure. But for the people of Zhujiazhuang, with only 3,000 people to resist such an attack, even if the combat strength of the Liangshan soldiers at this time has been depressed to an outrageous level, they will never be without pressure. The casualties of the number of people are also accumulated on their heads, and the attacking side, no matter what, there are still tens of thousands of people, can continue the saturated offensive, but the defending side is also saturated.
When they can't maintain a saturated defense, the real opportunity will come.
Being in Zhujiazhuang, Ning Yi, who had always been guarded by a shield, could also clearly feel this. The cries of the wounded and the dead, the women and children in the Zhuangzi who were constantly being carried down, also spread anxiety on everyone's heart, and even some people rushed over and cried and asked, "Where is the army of the imperial court!" Where is the army of the imperial court! ”
Zhu Biao and others have been cheering up the people in Zhuangzi: "You saw it! Liangshan's gang of miscellaneous people is getting weaker and weaker! They're going to be out of the fight! If we hold on today, they'll die-"
It is true that the people of Liangshan are getting weaker and weaker, but the charge led by the leader is still not to be underestimated. Ning Yi had already split the crossbow bows around him in two, specifically to deal with these elite chargers, and at the same time, the various shouts that had been arranged before were also constantly playing a role, but as for how the battle situation would develop and how far Liangshan's people would hold out before they could collapse, he actually couldn't see it because of his lack of actual combat experience.
The fact that there are many mountains on Liangshan is the biggest drawback, but when many of the leaders on the opposite side are still sane, they are able to maintain the control of their subordinates at a bottom line, and constantly lead some of their subordinates to attack with their own charm.
At this time, if there is really a big leader who defects on the battlefield, it may determine the direction of the war. It's a pity that even though many people can see that Liangshan may be defeated, if they want to simply surrender, they still can't give the other party such confidence, and they will only choose to preserve their strength at most, and then withdraw their troops and run away.
Able to play scheming. At this time, it was already over, Ning Yi led the people to run around the village, trying to fill in the loopholes he could see, and repelling the attacks one after another. At the same time, at the moment when the battle situation has reached a fever pitch, there are some things quietly happening in the cell in Zhujiazhuang, and several men who are being held here have used the tools to unlock the door of the cell.
For a few days. Ning Yi gave the prisoner a task to put back. And after they are done, they can come back and accept the protection of Zhujiazhuang. Such asylum, of course, will not be immediately entertained as a guest, but will remain in a cell and given something to eat and drink. Wait until after the war. so as not to have accidents. Also because of such a pattern. Before this, Wu Yong deliberately chose some people and returned to Zhujiazhuang to prepare for the rebellion. Just in Zhujiazhuang, he was already too busy to take care of himself. At this time, when even the guards of the cell were no longer enough, they cleared the obstacles and quietly rushed out of the cell.
They were greeted by chaos and smoke on all sides, and Zhuangzi was like an island in a storm, constantly shaking under the huge offensive......
***************
The firewood that was still burning was knocked down by the stone wall.
Zhang Shun rolled on the ground, jumped past a half-charred corpse, and rushed to the crowd on the side.
"Brother Zhang......"
"Up—"
During the attack, he shouted hoarsely, and he also knew the little leader who led the attack. In Zhang Shun's shouting, he grabbed the ladder and rushed up, and Zhang Shun followed closely. However, before he could climb the stone wall, blood flew out from above, and a spear stabbed at the body of the little leader, stabbing him down, and several Zhujiazhuang households appeared on it, and a person took the blood-stained spearhead and stabbed it down, Zhang Shun waved his knife to block, and saw more people coming, so he had to retreat again.
The sea of soldiers is intertwined, and the point of choice to attack on Liangshan's side is also constantly changing, Zhang Shun ran in the battle array, and after a short time, he joined Yang Zhi, seized an opportunity, set up three long ladders, and led his soldiers to attack headlong. They killed a few people on the city wall, and after gathering more than a dozen brothers, they saw that Zhu Biao over there led people to kill them, and immediately abandoned this place on the wall and rushed into the village with a dozen or so people.
The wave-like attack had already overwhelmed Zhujiazhuang's defense, as long as their side caused chaos in the village, the other party must send more people to surround them, and they could completely rush to kill any point on the stone wall. Although Zhang Shun is nicknamed "Baitiao in the Waves", he is strong in martial arts and has a brave temperament, and with Yang Zhi, even if there are only more than ten people, he is not afraid of anything, and rushed to the other side of the stone wall in a blink of an eye. They rushed past several houses and slew two of the villagers who passed by, and suddenly they saw an iron shield flash on the other side of the road that separated the houses from this side.
"Ha Luha, Hybrid Thunderbolt!"
Yang Zhi ran all the way, pointed over there and whispered to Zhang Shun, "Kill him." ”
More than a dozen people rushed over, reached the intersection in front of them, turned and rushed to that side, on the road on that side, the figure finally appeared, the iron shield, the crossbow wielder, the noble son who was surrounded in the center, turned his head towards this side.
"Kill-" Yang Zhi held the knife in both hands and rushed forward frantically, Zhang Shun was the same, the crossbow on the opposite side had already risen and aimed at this side, there was really no time for hesitation, but suddenly, Zhang Shun saw that face, and the other party stood there, tilting his head.
"Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt" Lei Feng, before this, even if Liangshan's side has been tossed and jumped, he also feels that the other party is a big trouble, but to be honest, he doesn't have much feelings about this person, when Yang Zhi said to kill him, he also felt: Naturally, he wants to kill him.
But at this moment, mixed feelings rose in the heart along with the appearance of the man, who was ...... This man is ......
Remembering the blood and fire of that day......
The other party sighed, and said normally: "Ah...... ZHANG Shun. ”
****************
Outside the stone wall, some of the people who attacked Zhuangzi suddenly heard a hoarse cry: "Ahh
In fact, they can often hear such shouts, when everyone launches a desperate charge against the stone wall, mixed with courage, in order to fight the cry of fear, but outside the stone wall, a few people can still hear who this voice belongs to.
They just don't understand why Zhang Shun would shout such a voice in the village.
This side is closest to the dirt slope where Song Jiang and the others watched the battle. Xi Junyu and the others looked at the stone wall, and were still saying: "Brother Zhang Shun and Brother Yang Zhi have already been killed, and when they create chaos, maybe they will have a chance to ......" Vaguely, this shout came, and everyone listened with bated breath, and then, a little commotion really came out of the stone wall, and there was a fight in it.
"Assault! Call the nearby brothers to storm! Xi Junyu pointed there and shouted, asking the soldiers to send a signal, and the nearby leader Lin Chong led the people to surround him. The ladder has not yet been erected, suddenly, the figure appeared on the stone wall, it was a few backs that were forced back by madness, forced to go up the stone wall, and then stabbed off the wall, among which there was Zhang Shun's figure, they were all pierced with several crossbow arrows, at this time pushed over a few iron shields and spears that kept stabbing out from behind, Zhang Shun's body was pierced in the air by two or three spears, and then fell down.
Several iron shields stood by the wall, and the crossbow bows in the rear began to shoot down the wall, Song Jiang was tearful in his eyes, and he was about to crack, and at this time, another accident suddenly happened on the stone wall.
Several men came from the side and suddenly smashed into the shield array on the stone wall.
Wu Yong stood up with the trunk under the tree: "Ha Luha, it's a shot!" Shot! My arrangement worked! Kill him! Kill him! ”
The sudden attack caused a small area of chaos on the stone wall, and everyone watched intently, and even a spy came quickly from the rear and reported something to Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and Wu Yong waved his hand vigorously to tell him not to make a noise first. Xi Junyu looked at Wu Yong's performance and understood something: "Continue to attack!" Cooperate and continue to attack! ”
The battle on the stone wall was violent and fierce, and the people arranged by Wu Yong had a lot of experience in assassination, and they were unintentionally killed in the blink of an eye. The soldiers next to Gong Wei couldn't react, two people were killed, and an iron shield also fell, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others watched intently, and Xi Junyu also watched intently. Finally, the two men killed the hybrid thunderbolt Lei Feng, and after a few simple exchanges, Lei Feng looked embarrassed and flew back, and knocked down the person next to him, two assassins followed, one was pierced by a flying spear, and the other brandished a steel knife and slashed straight down.
Xi Junyu and Wu Yong gritted their teeth and took a step.
There was a thud on the stone wall, and blood spurted from behind the assassin.
Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to be empty, and Xi Junyu's words that had already reached his throat suddenly couldn't be said because he realized something.
Not far away, Li Kui, who was lifting the axe and preparing to rush to kill, was stunned when he heard this voice, and there were two people near the soil slope, each with different reactions, namely the injured "Sick Guansuo" Yang Xiong and the "Jinmao Tiger" Yan Shun who happened to come over.
On the stone wall, the noble prince pushed away the corpse of the assassin who rushed over, and under the tree here, Wu Yong's hand slowly patted the trunk: "Still...... Failed......" He muttered, but the frustration that didn't rise was much now. Thinking of the spies who had just come to report back, he seemed to say anxiously "Wurui Battalion", and when he turned around and wanted to ask, he suddenly found that the faces of several brothers were wrong: "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Shun looked over there, stretched out his finger, opened his mouth, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Junyu, his lips seemed to be a little dry: "That's ...... It's ......."
Song Jiang turned his head: "It's a pity that I still failed to kill the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt......"
"But that's ...... Bloody Hands Slaughter ......"
"That ...... from Jiang Ning," Yang Xiong muttered in a low voice.
Song Jiang was stunned: "What bloody hand slaughter?" Everyone more or less also had such doubts, after all, their minds couldn't turn for a while, but after a while, when everyone suddenly recalled something, an incomparably complicated and somewhat cold strange feeling came silently.
“…… He, he's ...... Yes? ”
Surrounded by smoke, the fighting continues, blood and life continue to flow, and on the continuous battlefield, a strange feeling has descended here.
