Chapter 435: Change

Han Sui has seen elite soldiers, whether it is Huangfu Song or Dong Zhuo back then, all of them are elite soldiers who have been fighting for many years. But Han Sui had never seen such an elite soldier, an elite soldier who was still fearless under the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

In the past few years, Jiang Dongbing has been constantly growing and getting stronger. Yuan Shu's monarchical talent combined with the development speed of Shangjiangdong is simply the supreme weapon of the royal road, and the army under his command is getting stronger and stronger. The current Jiangdong soldiers are far stronger than ordinary soldiers not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of combat experience and willpower. It is mainly due to the existence of two sharp weapons, "medical soldier" and "political commissar" under Yuan Shu's command.

Veterans are the most valuable asset in the army, and Yuan Shu's "medical soldiers" can reduce battle losses to about 20% of the original. In addition, Yuan Shu was cautious in his operations and rarely fought uncertain battles, which made Yuan Shu's army's combat strength rise instead of decreasing after each battle, and the more he fought, the stronger he became. The existence of the "political commissar" and ideological education made the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command have a spirit of treating death as if they were at home for Jiangdong and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu also understands a thing or two about how terrifying brainwashing is, and it is even enough to reverse a person's worldview and values, and completely change a person. Whether it is a certain cult that committed suicide in the square or a notorious pyramid scheme, the horror of brainwashing is fully displayed to us.

In fact, there is also brainwashing in this era, and in a way, the dead soldiers under the command of the family are the initial products of this brainwashing. But no one uses it for the military, some ignore it, and some selectively ignore it. Because large-scale brainwashing is too terrifying, if you don't pay attention, you may play with fire and set yourself on fire.

To put it bluntly, the Shang Yang reform back then could be regarded as brainwashing to a certain extent. He made the people under his command understand that as long as there was a war, as long as they joined the army and fought bravely, they could obtain a series of things such as status, land, slaves, etc., thus completely building the entire Qin State into a war machine, and everyone was warlike. Even if the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, it was difficult to change, which made the war machine of the Qin State unable to stop at all, and many internal problems arose after the expansion was stopped.

Yuan Shu didn't know the twists and turns, but he also understood the horror of brainwashing. So he didn't dare to do too much, just publicized his wisdom and the beauty of Jiangdong, and read it several times a day. Don't look at the slogan just howling a few times a day, but under the repetition of a long time, these soldiers will form a subconscious. This subconscious mind will play an important role when they are flustered, as it is now.

In the face of the baptism of the Xiliang cavalry, the Jiangdong soldiers behaved very calmly, retreating and fighting under the leadership of the generals, and counterattacking in an orderly manner. Although they were completely at a disadvantage, they inflicted a lot of damage on the cavalry under Han Sui's command.

However, the hard work of the Jiangdong soldiers could not reverse their unfavorable situation. Under the attack of more than 20,000 iron horsemen on both sides, a gap was quickly broken through at the mouth of the valley, and then under the charge of the Xiliang iron horsemen, this opening continued to expand.

"Lord, let's withdraw quickly!" After Yang Qiu greeted Han Sui, he said anxiously.

"Why? Aren't we still able to defeat these Yuan troops under the attack from both sides? Han Sui frowned.

Yang Qiu pointed to the Southern Barbarian soldiers under the command of Tai Shi Ci in the distance: "Those soldiers can't be killed at all with heavy armor, and they also have good archery skills, we can't win at all!" ”

Han Sui looked back, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command was driven away like sheep by a group of "iron cans", and he had no power to fight back. In an instant, Han Sui understood the reason for the defeat of Yang Qiu and the others.

"What about Yan Xing?"

Yang Qiu looked at Yan Xing, who was fighting with Wei Yan in the distance, hesitated slightly, and said without changing his face: "General Yan Xing is deep in the enemy camp because of the light enemy. We were weak, and we wanted to go out first to ensure that the back road was clear before we turned back to the rescue. Since you have arrived here, Lord, why don't we hurry up and rescue General Yan Xing!" ”

Han Sui frowned when he heard this, his face became gloomy, and he glanced coldly at Yan Xing, who was embarrassed and parried under Wei Yan's attack in the distance, and after being silent for a moment, he said in a low voice: "No! We withdraw our troops! ”

When Yang Qiu heard this, he was overjoyed. Really! On the surface, he asked with an anxious expression: "Lord! Why is that? I'm afraid General Yan Xing won't last long! ”

Han Sui glanced at Yang Qiu deeply, and looked at him with a furious heart, and then said slowly: "Yan Xing's disrespect for a certain life, causing the army to fall into a dangerous situation is an unforgivable crime. What's more, a long time has passed now, presumably Yuan Shuzhongjun is about to rush to hear the news, if we continue to entangle, when it arrives, I am afraid that all of them will be buried here! ”

"No!" Yang Qiu's heart was weak, and he didn't dare to continue to speak.

Han Sui turned around and shouted and ordered to the army under his command: "Withdraw!" ”

On the other side, Yan Xing thought that Han Sui was here to save him, and he was already desperate and exhausted, and he regained his confidence and kept wrestling with Wei Yan. Even in order to hide his embarrassment, he had a few hard hits with Wei Yan. Wei Yan was surprised where he got his strength. But hearing Han Sui's shout, Yan Xing was stunned.

"It seems that this lord of yours doesn't care much about you!" Wei Yan sneered with disdain.

He really looked down on Han Sui's behavior. The monarch's behavior is really despicable, if it was Wei Yan's position in Yan Xing, he would be reversed at this moment.

Yan Xing's heart was cold, and he didn't answer in the face of Wei Yan's ridicule, but chose to be silent.

The corner of Wei Yan's mouth hooked: "I see that you are also a man, how about you surrender our army?" Your lord has abandoned you, what are you doing for him? ”

Yan Xing was speechless, but the strength in his hand was a little heavier. Wei Yan also wanted to make up for his mistakes at this time, Han Sui broke his wishful thinking, no matter how he explained, it was because of his mistake that he let go of nearly 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and also caused serious losses to the soldiers under his command. He didn't want to be punished by Yuan Shu after he went back, especially when he thought of Jia Xu's old fox, he felt cold. He even felt that all his actions might be within the other party's calculations, and if he went back like this in his current situation, he was afraid that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

And if he persuaded Yan Xing to surrender, not to mention being rewarded, at least if he surrendered with more than 10,000 cavalry, the punishment he received was estimated to be much lighter.

At this time, it was impossible to stop Han Sui from escaping, he was now deeply trapped in the army, and he could only start from Yan Xing. Therefore, Wei Yan simply ignored the fighting in the rear and directly concentrated on dealing with Yan Xing.

"General Yan, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, is such a chilling lord worthy of a heroic man like you to be loyal? My lord personally led more than 100,000 troops to Xiliang, which was already unstoppable, Ma Teng had surrendered, and Han Sui could not support it alone, how long could he last? This Xiliang will eventually fall into the hands of a certain master, and surrendering to a certain master is abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, is General Yan really willing to die for a villain like Han Sui? If you surrender to a certain master, with the mind of a certain master, even Li Dao can tolerate it, not to mention that a hero like a general will definitely be reused, and he will not live up to the general's martial arts. ”

Wei Yan's words were like a sledgehammer, striking Yan Xing's fragile insistence. Yan Xing is not a hard bone in the first place, in history, he also betrayed Han Sui because Han Sui treated him poorly, and also assisted Cao Cao to defeat Han Sui and pacify Xiliang. Faced with Wei Yan's persuasion, Yan Xing's heart was moved.
