Chapter 393: Ghost Soldiers

Although he understood that the newly formed four thousand Mo sword soldiers were not enough to take the initiative to attack the Yuanren cavalry, as long as he practiced his sword technique and formation a little, there was no problem at all to stabilize his position. When counterattacking, if you use it well, you can use one as ten.

Soon Shi Bin was faced with a question: What kind of knife technique is suitable for the Mo Dao Array?

This time, Shi Bin didn't dare to talk nonsense about 'Full Moon Scimitar' and 'Xiao Li Flying Knife', but humbly asked Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou.

After an afternoon of careful consideration, the two came to a conclusion: any sword technique is not suitable, because there is no room for it.

Indeed, the Mo knife is nearly a zhang long, once it is formed into a knife formation, where can he perform other moves besides slashing and stabbing? Therefore, Shi Bin ordered the Mo Dao soldiers to practice only two moves: slashing and stabbing.

Since the Mo Dao soldiers were not familiar with the sword technique and formation, Shi Bin was not in a hurry to fight with Meng Ge, he just buried himself in training, but instead came to a tactical defensive posture, just wanting Meng Ge not to fight because of too much pressure, even if he didn't grind his sharpness, it was not bad.

Due to the reduction of pressure in Zhengzhou City and the timely supply of grain and grass, Lu Wende no longer urged, but only strengthened the city defense and appeased the people.

After holding each other like this for half a month, the Modao Soldier Formation had a prototype and could advance slowly, which made Shi Bin excited. However, before he was happy, Sai Zhangfei sent someone to deliver a bad news: he and Chen Yan were secretly attacked by 2,000 yuan people transporting grain in the Xuchang area, losing 8,000 stone grain and grass, and killing and wounding nearly 5,000 soldiers, of which 800 were the elite of Shi Bin's family.

One sneak attack will lose eight hundred elites? This news slapped Shi Bin hard and woke him up.

He has always been a person with eight hundred elites and thousands of yuan, but now that he has turned around, Shi Bin has a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

This frustration was unprecedented, and I deeply felt how advantageous the plains were to the cavalry. You must know that although there are up to 5,000 soldiers and horses carrying grain, there are still 40,000 soldiers who can support at any time around, and within two quarters of an hour, the Yuan people will be entangled and almost impossible to escape. But Meng Ge dared to give this kind of order, which was too indifferent to his own infantry, and made Shi Bin suddenly feel that the world was too unfair.

So no matter what the old book is, Shi Bin immediately ordered all the 10,000 cavalry repaired in Sichuan to be transferred to Zhumadian, and Shi Bin planned to fight with Meng Ge.

Xie Qiangbing, Li Ergou and Xu Feng knew that Shi Bin was so angry that his brain was hot that he gave such a crazy order, where was there a way to fight for the Zhao family's world? Naturally, Shi Bin was repeatedly dissuaded from doing this, but Shi Bin didn't care about this, and gave an order in the form of a military order.

Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, Xie Qiangbing had no choice, so he could only play a small trick in the process of delivering the letter: he instructed the messenger not to run 600 miles to expedite, as long as he traveled 300 miles a day. In the end, let Wang San delay the preparation time.

This incident stimulated Shi Bin a lot, making him feel that although his infantry was strong, they could only defeat Meng Ge on the battlefield at most, but it was impossible to wipe them out, so he didn't sleep well for several days in a row, and his brain was groggy.

If the cavalry can't beat it, as long as a strong man breaks his wrist, he can escape, and his own infantry can't beat it, so he can only be slaughtered...

While walking in the camp, while thinking about these times over and over again, suddenly a guard on night duty came over and kicked away a large stone at Shi Bin's feet.

I'm glad the guard did that, after all, a man can be so dutiful to be so dutiful. Shi Bin looked at the guard, and when he was about to praise the guard, he blurted out not 'You are very good' but a howl with fear.

Such a howl put the camp tents around Shi Bin completely on first-level alert, and all the soldiers rushed out of the tents with weapons ready to fight.

However, what I saw was not the scene of Shi Bin's bloody fight, but the picture of the guard kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and Shi Bin squatting comfortingly. The guards were already covered in blood, but they still refused to stop, and finally Shi Bin said that he would behead without stopping, so he stopped.

What an embarrassing scene, Shi Bin said secretly. Xu Feng, the head of the guard, immediately ran out to reprimand the guard for being too useless, and was so frightened that he howled when he was frightened by a centipede, disturbing the peace in the camp.

Of course, the guard didn't dare to defend himself, but he only 'admitted his mistake' and said that he would never dare again.

When Shi Bin returned to the tent, he immediately issued two orders: treat the guard's injuries and reward him with fifty taels of silver. Call Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou to see him.

was called by Shi Bin in the middle of the night, and the two understood that there must be something important, so they quickly arrived at the handsome tent.

"Did you hear that howl?" Shi Bin smiled awkwardly.

"I hear you." Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou said in unison.

Isn't it just a useless guard who is scared and screams? Need to call these two generals in command of the army at night? After thinking about it for a while, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou immediately understood that the howl was most likely not the guard but the big brother in front of them. So they cast inquiring glances together.

"It's me, hehe." Shi Bin smiled, "But you shouldn't believe that I'm so useless, scared to scream by a centipede, huh?" ”

Of course not, if the battlefield is scared out of a centipede, it will be a big joke.

"Then why is the adult so out of shape?" Xie Qiangbing asked very carefully.

"I really want to know?"

"Of course." The two replied in unison.

"Hehe, it's actually a little funny, but you are not allowed to laugh. It's because the guard is too ugly and has two lines of tattoos on his face. ”

Hearing this reason, although the two of them couldn't help laughing on the surface, they couldn't stop laughing in their hearts, and Li Ergou even choked because he couldn't hold back.

"Don't laugh!" Shi Bin said viciously. But there is no way, this laugh can't be stopped, Shi Bin regrets why he said this reason, his brain is too melon.

After a while, when the two calmed down, Shi Bin said, "After laughing, don't you want to laugh?" ”

Of course, you can't answer, 'I don't want to laugh when I'm done laughing', Li Ergou kept silent, and Xie Qiangbing said: "Both of them have a little cold and a little cough, please forgive me." ”

Of course, Shi Bin asked, "Since I was scared by that guard, tell me if we can use this to scare the Yuan people?" ”

Use ugliness to scare the meta people? That Yuan people can see, how close... Isn't the Liyuan cavalry so sent to death?

Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou felt that he was going crazy when they heard Shi Bin's idea, even if they could get so close, how many soldiers could be ugly enough to scare everyone? I'm afraid it's a one-in-a-million wonder.

"Don't believe me?" Shi Bin smiled disdainfully.

Of course they didn't believe it, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou smiled back disdainfully.

Shi Bin didn't explain, and gave the two of them a backward look. Look after you look at it, and you're afraid of what moths will come out of the back? The two of them turned their heads to look without fear.

As Shi Bin expected, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou also screamed, perhaps because they had Shi Bin's words as a foreshadowing, so their voices were not loud and did not come out of the tent.

"How's it going, how does it feel?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

Of course, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou would not admit defeat openly, but tactfully protested that Shi Bin should not treat them like this.

Since the two members have followed him for several years, the generals who are no longer so superstitious about ghosts and gods can be scared like this, and it is conceivable what will happen to those Yuan people who have not been civilized so far.

"I'll tell you a story." Shi Bin smiled and continued, "You know General Di Qing. ”

"Of course, who doesn't know Di Qing? He was nicknamed 'General Mask' because he had a tattoo on his face for committing crimes, and he wore a ghost mask when he fought with the enemy..." As he spoke, Xie Qiangbing's voice lowered.

Li Ergou, who was on the side, quickly understood what Shi Bin meant, and immediately asked, "Your Excellency, do you plan to let our soldiers also wear ghost masks to fight with the Yuan people?" ”

Shi Bin smiled and nodded.

This strategy is of course a great strategy for attack, but it also has its flaws, how can those elites retreat after the battle is won? Is it possible to make the Yuan people collapse with just one mask, and they will not be considered clowns? Thinking of this, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou immediately said this.

"Let's not talk about retreat, as long as we win, we don't have to worry about retreating. It's a bit troublesome to make those Yuan people not think that our soldiers are clowns. Shi Bin nodded and said.

"My lord, I think this trick must be performed at night, and it is better that there is no moon, so that the more gloomy it feels, the better." Xie Qiangbing said immediately.

"Reasonable, Master Xie is very reasonable. He thinks that this alone is not enough, and that it is better to work on something else. Li Ergou smiled gloomily.

As soon as he saw Li Ergou's appearance, he knew that he had a bad move, Shi Bin and Xie Qiangbing glared at Li Ergou and signaled Li Ergou to speak up quickly.

The military situation is urgent, Li Ergou didn't dare to deliberately put on a show, and said: "It's best to have a cloak and a dish, the clothes must be tattered, and the weapons can't be unified in a variety of ways, the key is not to let the Yuan people see that we are Song soldiers, and we must be regarded as the souls of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

After such a call, Shi Bin and Xie Qiangbing gave Li Ergou a look of admiration, and sure enough, he had been the leader of the bandits, and this crooked trick must be effective.

"Yes, yes, Li Ergou didn't expect you to come up with such a brilliant trick! Once the war starts, how can the Yuan people be undefeated? Xie Qiangbing laughed wildly.

Shi Bin was also very happy that Li Ergou could make his strategy so perfect, and his evaluation of him was much higher, and he immediately praised him without hesitation.

Who knew that the more Shi Bin and Xie Qiangbing praised Li Ergou, the tighter his brows locked, and suddenly he spoke: "Lord Shi, Master Xie doesn't need to praise anymore, I feel that this plan is not perfect enough, and there may be big flaws." ”

"Big flaws?" Shi Bin didn't believe it.

"My lord, this flaw is not difficult to make up. You just can't speak human words, you can only scream, and the weirder the better. Li Ergou said with a smile.

It turns out that this is to make the Yuan people more afraid, and the fear of the unknown is always the greatest. Shi Bin immediately accepted the suggestion.

Soon Shi Bin issued an order: gather all the soldiers who can paint their faces to come and obey orders, and those with strong individual combat ability come to obey orders. After they all came, those soldiers with strong individual combat ability became Shi Bin's 'ghost soldiers'.
