Chapter 357: The Difficulty of Camp Roaring
Peng Yingyu stared at Wen Xuan with a solemn face: "Xuan'er, this move is very important, not only about the situation of the entire battle situation, but also determines whether my and your father's wishes can be successfully achieved." ”
Wen Xianzhong also echoed: "Yes, once we can take Hangzhou, then we can let the people of Wen and Taiwan also raise the banner of rebellion again as reinforcements, and then the entire Jiangnan will become our bag!" ”
Wen Xuan didn't expect that the idea he said on a whim would attract so much attention from the two elders, so he squinted and thought for a moment, and replied solemnly: "Since this matter is very important, I can't open my mouth to talk about it, tomorrow I will take someone to Hangzhou City to take a walk, and I will send someone to send a message back in the specific situation." ”
Peng Yingyu praised him again and again, and Wen Xianzhong was also happy to get his son to make meritorious contributions, and successively told him to pay attention to safety after the matter was finalized.
Wen Xuan knew that this operation was quite difficult, so he didn't dare to be careless, and after a good night's rest that night, he set off with two shadow guards before dawn the next day.
Although Peng Yingyu and Wen Xianzhong had a very good relationship, Wen Xuan still made all preparations, and a large number of the remaining shadow guards stayed to listen to Wen Xianzhong's dispatch and protect his safety in secret.
As soon as Wen Xuan left, Xiang Puluo's battalion received a military report, and Peng Yingyu and Wen Xianzhong were stunned when they saw this military report.
Answer: Badulu captured Xiangyang, and the power of the king of the red scarf in Beizuo fought to the death!
Wen Xianzhong was surprised and muttered: "What a good answer to lose Badulu, it is really like a flying soldier, he just took Guizhou before Xuan'er and I left Xiangyang, and it was only a little more than a month, and Xiangyang had already been lost!" ”
Peng Yingyu chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the people in the Jingxiang area are only afraid that they will suffer from the sword mountain and the sea of fire!" I only hope that the remaining Nanzuo Red Army can stop the lost Badulu for some more time, otherwise the Badulu will join up with the Weishun Wang's department again, and the Southern Red Turban Army will also be in danger! ”
After the two old men calmed down, they continued to plan Hangzhou, leaving aside for the time being, Liu Futong gradually gained the upper hand in the head-to-head duel with the Yuan court army after taking over the military power of the Red Turban Army in the north.
Although Timur and Lao Zhang regretted it a lot, they used 12 points of strength to lead the troops to fight, but the morale of their own soldiers was low, and the more they were defeated, the more they fought, the more they were defeated, the more they fought, and the remaining tens of thousands of troops also suffered heavy losses, leaving 20,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the north.
Liu Futong also received the news of the loss of Xiangyang at this time, and was worried that after the Badulu division had solved the remaining Meng Haima, he decisively ordered the all-out pursuit of the Yexian Timur department, and made sure to completely defeat this army nominally sent by the Yuan court!
Guan Duo, Pan Cheng, Li Wu, Cui De, Mao Gui, Luo Wensu and others readily agreed, some of these people dared to rush into battle, some were good at fighting alone, some were better than a hundred steps through Yang, and some were stronger than dispatching troops and horses.
Timur was also miserable, but he didn't dare to send a message to his brother for help, so he could only discuss with Lao Zhang to block these red turban thieves, and then join forces to attack this group of difficult thieves after the war situation in other places calmed down.
It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Timur said that he could not have imagined that a humiliating incident that would have him crucified in the annals of history had happened in the middle of a seemingly ordinary night.
On this day, the Red Turban Army launched a night attack as usual, and the Yuan soldiers also habitually relied on the camp for defense, and Guan Duo, who led the troops, led the troops to retreat when he saw that the Yuan soldiers were heavily guarded, and there was no large-scale conflict between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, a sneak attack launched by the Red Turban Army at will caused a roar in the Yuan Soldier Battalion.
When it comes to camp Xiao, we can't fail to talk about Jian Xiao. The so-called "prison howl" refers to the fact that the prison often erupts in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and then a large number of prisoners who have nothing to do with it go crazy, and suddenly start to fight with each other, and even bite each other, and all kinds of terrifying crazy things break out. After the prison whistle, the prisoners often died in large numbers, and even the prison officials did not dare to suppress this kind of thing, thinking that it was the anger of the prison god or the arrival of Tai Sui.
The situation of the camp is similar to that of the prison Xiao, and the camp rules in the military camp are strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even spreading rumors is life-threatening. Moreover, the military camp is a place of slaughter, and the military regulations have the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", and all the soldiers live in fear during the war, and the mental depression accumulated for a long time can be imagined.
In addition, the army of the Yuan court was very dark, the officers wantonly bullied the soldiers, the veterans ganged up to oppress the recruits, and the soldiers formed gangs and factions to fight openly and secretly, and the contradictions accumulated year after year, all relying on the military discipline bullets in wartime.
Regardless of the superiority of the two sides, it is fine if the two sides win and lose each other and are evenly matched, but once they fall into this situation of fighting and losing, and then losing and fighting again, the spirit of the soldiers of the defeated side is simply on the verge of collapse.
This kind of large-scale event caused by collective repression is called a camp roar, and a smaller one is called night terrors.
It was in this silent and dark night, after the Red Turban Army retreated, the Yuan soldiers began to fall asleep, they did not dare to fall asleep, they were afraid that they would be cut off by the Red Turban Army that attacked again when they woke up, and they could not sleep, if they did not rest well and were mentally decadent, they would also be unable to escape death on the battlefield the next day.
In this state of mind, people are naturally prone to nightmares, and even be haunted by nightmares, unable to wake up when they want to wake up, and extremely irritable and depressed when they want to sleep.
In a small tent in the center of the Yuan Bing camp, there were more than a dozen soldiers, and a new recruit fell into a nightmare, and the whole person suddenly roared, wah, wah, wah, wow.
If it was in normal times, the veteran in the account would definitely wake him up and comfort him, and the matter would have passed, but this day was also a coincidence, it didn't matter if the recruit shouted, the veteran who was asleep next to him was also shocked, and roared.
The veteran was already full of irritability, and suddenly lost his mind when he was so frightened by the recruit, and he opened his hand and choked the recruit's neck.
The recruit finally woke up, but he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or back to reality, he only thought that the Red Turban Army had come to kill him in a dream, so he touched his waist before he could open his eyes, grabbed a dagger, and stabbed the veteran in the lower abdomen.
The veteran was caught off guard, blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth, and his heart was ruthless, and he opened his mouth and bit the recruit's face.
The bite bit off half of the palm-sized piece of skin, and the recruit let out a hoarse cry.
