The people of Sanqin are martial and fierce, and the folk private fighting has become a trend, and everyone is accustomed to it. Even those bare-bottomed dolls are accustomed to using force to resolve "disputes"; And when the adults of the family see their son, they will be beaten up with a face, and they will first complain that the children have embarrassed themselves, and then teach them some "family martial arts" to prepare in advance for a shame......

The veterans of the Northwest Army grew up in such a "harsh" social environment. They advocate force, are simple-minded, and have a short temper, and have the style of ancient heroes. Such people are born to be soldiers! Once the blood and qi swell above the head, all the stakes, life and death, will be left behind! Their battlefield philosophy is only an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; When attacked, you're bent on tearing the enemy in front of you to pieces!

And the reason why Pang Qingshan ordered the withdrawal of the army was precisely because he was frightened by a Northwest soldier who had to pull him on his back before he died......

What's more, Wang Baichuan himself is just a veteran who can tolerate sparse oil; But the soldiers under his command are not all incompetent! Those veterans of the Northwest Army who survived a hundred battles have been fighting bloody battles with the Mobei and Western Xinjiang armies all year round; Whether it is life and death experience or tricks, it is by no means comparable to these "Nankang Xinding".

With the assistance of this group of middle- and lower-level officers who have survived the battle, the mixed mode of "old with new" has been adopted; Therefore, the new soldiers of the Northwest Army who were recruited several times also quickly learned back the habit of "hob meat"; At least when it comes to tailwind, their performance is satisfactory enough!

If you are bold, even if you are a cowardly man in nature, you will become a cold-blooded and ruthless executioner!

On the other hand, Pang Qingshan, the general of the defeated army, is not a "traditional Confucian general" with no battlefield experience. Before he commanded the Liberation Army, he also had a few years of "apprenticeship" on the Huajiang battlefield. But due to the different battlefields, he served on the Nankang warship for many years, and he only accumulated rich experience in water warfare.

The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles.

Generally speaking, the tactics of water warfare are a rain of arrows from the crossbowmen on both sides, and after getting closer, the two sides shake the bats and attack each other; When the water is a little lower, there will be water ghosts fighting naked underwater...... As for the bloody and tragic "hand-to-board battle", looking back at the past examples of the "water battle between the north and south of the Huajiang River", the frequency of occurrence is simply outrageous!

And the Worry Relief Army under his command, although all of them are "expensive", have also undergone years of hard training; However, the Nankang Navy is the best in Huayu, and has always resisted the enemy north of the Huajiang River for many years; Even the local bandit gangs appeared in the form of water thieves, and the infantry army was not useful at all, and they could not accumulate combat experience.

Therefore, although the Relief Army has been in the army for many years, many soldiers have seen blood for the first time in their lives! There are even some soldiers who are kind in nature or have other beliefs in their hearts, and when they are fighting with the enemy, they look at the thick positions of the buttocks, thighs and other fleshy places to drop the knife to avoid "killing in vain......

Although the battlefield is large, there will never be room for the word "goodness......

General Pang, who had been meditating hard but had nothing to gain, finally gave up looking at himself completely at dusk and got out of the tip of the horns.

Yesterday can't be chased, tomorrow is still possible! Pang Qingshan, who "started anew", accidentally thought of a way to "win in defeat......

For the next three whole days, the army that had just experienced a defeat was as quiet as if all of them had died in battle; Ren Northwest Army slowly set up a stable camp, and even attacked the grain and grass camp several times; But Pang Qingshan just made up his mind, honestly being a turtle with a shrunken head, and didn't take a single step.

At this point, Pang Qingshan's attitude has been very clear. Or, you, Wang Baichuan, will take tens of thousands of infantry troops to attack that Xingzhou city with your bare hands; Or, you will gather all the soldiers and horses to pull out my worry-solving army Dazhai. Or, let's stop anyone and stare at each other.

Wang Baichuan was born as a pawn, he didn't know many words, and he only "hearsay, a little bit of knowledge" about the art of war and the art of siege and defense. But he at least understood one thing that the work of attacking the city and pulling out the fortress must be assisted by equipment; Not to mention anything else, the trench outside Xingzhou City and the arrow tower of the Dazhai of the Relief Army are not the moats that they can bridge by relying on their flesh and blood, morale and will......

From this point of view, Pang Qingshan was hurt by himself once, and he would not fight the unlucky idea of "white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat" if he said a big day. The Northwest Army suffered from the lack of armament, and it was naturally impossible to attack the city...... If the stalemate continues, the worry-relieving army, which has already gathered grain and grass, will not be a problem to help each other in one city and one village for at least two or three months; But on the other hand, once someone in the imperial court can't tolerate the Northwest Army and is unwilling to allocate grain and grass to reinforce the army......

Wang Baichuan knew that now the fourth prince, Zhou Chang'an, had recovered the land of Sanqin, and he could lead the army back to aid the Jizhou battlefield at any time; And their Northwest Army fought this battle in order to make meritorious service and kill a "way to live" for themselves......

The Northwest Army needs the imperial court, but the imperial court does not need the Northwest Army......

It must not be consumed any longer!

After Wang Baichuan made up his mind, he immediately convened his "staff group", that is, the old brothers of the Northwest Army, and launched a "pre-battle combat discussion."

The "old general", who had just taken his seat, had just taken his seat, but his body was muscular and burly, stood up from the stump, pointed to a topographical sketch on the table, and spoke eloquently to everyone:

"If you want me to say, this siege is definitely not as good as attacking the city! You think, if there is no camp, Pang Qingshan can still lead the army back to Xingzhou; But if there is no Xingzhou, then they can only go into the mountains if they run in the next direction! ”

"Erbei (Bo), you said that this guy also understands in his heart, but it's easy to say, just our family background, how can we fight? Go out and see, the wall is so high, and the ditch is so wide! The brethren can neither fly nor jump that far......"

"That's all! The brothers don't even have a long guy in their hands, and the forest has been burned clean by your fire, and there are no materials to make a ladder! I'll just say, when you had to set it on fire, I said you can't put it on fire, you can't put it ......."

", when are you going to say that? Net afterthought! In the future, like this tasteless fart, you smell it yourself......"

All of a sudden, the Chinese army tent of the Northwest Army turned into a lively vegetable market; These old brothers who have looked at each other for decades, at this time, you say a word to me, the scene is very lively, but there is not even a word of text, it is all nonsense attacking each other. Wang Baichuan, the organizer of this meeting, stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, slapped the table vigorously, pointed to the outside of the camp tent and reprimanded:

"Noisy, noisy, noisy? How much food do we have left? Are you not afraid of starvation? Didn't you just say that you were going to attack the city? So who knows how to attack this city? Don't say anything else! ”

The "old general" with mottled hair was taken aback by Wang Baichuan's sudden temper:

"Yay? You shout Sa! What's so hard about attacking a city...... Calling the array! Wait, Erbei will call someone who understands you! ”

Those who march in the army have always been vigorous and resolute. After the second uncle left, there was a quarter of an hour of hard work, and Wang Baichuan, who had no prestige at all, was listening to the ruffians of this group of veterans, and even his brains were about to be opened! I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a light in front of me; Wang Baichuan looked up and saw that the second uncle led a short man who was more than five feet long and lifted the curtain of the big tent......

"You... You... You're not the ...... that day."

"General Wang, see you again!"

From a tactical point of view, the main reason why Pang Qingshan suffered a big defeat that day was because this man's voice was loud and lasting enough! And Wang Baichuan did not forget this meritorious man, as soon as he saw the honest smile of the other party, he immediately took two steps forward and clasped his hands tightly:

"Brother, you did your best that day! Not to mention anything else, as long as I, Wang Baichuan, can go back alive, I will allow you at least a hundred little lambs! ”

"Then thank you General Wang first......"

The second uncle looked at the two people who were quite familiar, scratched his scalp that was a little itchy, and said in wonder:

"What? You two...... Acquaintance? ”

"Knowing ......"

"That's easy! Iron toad, after a full meal, let you go to Xingzhou City to call for battle, do you dare? ”

"Second uncle, dare I dare to ...... It's just that this mouth is too stupid, I don't know what to call it......"

Hearing the distress of the sheep herder, the veteran ruffians in the tent stopped arguing almost at the same time. Everyone turned their heads and stared at this man with a loud voice and an honest nature, and laughed evilly......

Wang Baichuan showed a wry smile, patted the "iron toad" who looked slightly panicked, and comforted:

"Don't be afraid, they don't bite. Brother Iron Toad, do you know words? ”

"Words? Didn't recognize ......"

"How's your memory?"

"Memory...... Anyway, I've been herding sheep since I was a child, but I haven't lost ......."

"That's it!"

In the early morning of the next day, under the instigation and encouragement of everyone, 20 long shield men of the Northwest Army returned to protect the iron toad that had been armed to the teeth, and slowly walked below the south gate of Xingzhou City......

"You bunch...... Ahem......"

As soon as he shouted four words, the iron toad's bronzed face immediately turned red, and his head almost hung down into the crotch of his pants; And Wang Baichuan and a group of veteran oilmen shouted vigorously in the back, boosting the morale of this shy brother......

The iron toad also felt the trust of the brothers, he gritted his teeth with a cross heart, and then he was lucky, closed his eyes and opened his mouth to shout......

The dirty streets with countless sentences of "both teeth and ears" fluttered in the sky above Xingzhou City along the good voice of the iron toad. Whether it was the ordinary people in the city or the soldiers defending the city of the Relief Army, they were stunned by this lame official talk with a slight Sanqin accent!

What is the origin of this loud Northwest Army under the city? Listening to the dirty street in his mouth that is full of tricks and meat and vegetables, even if all the shrews on Jizhou Road are tied together, it will be at most comparable to his scolding!
