Chapter 188: The Grass Warbler Flies to the Green
The so-called poplar willows are drunk with spring smoke, but now it is not the grass warbler flying in February, it has become a serious spring April day in the blink of an eye, and the Feng family army outside Yazhou City has not been able to disappoint the good weather in this spring April, under Lin Feng's order, they have traveled together, and outside Yazhou City, a good picture of the grass warbler flying to the green has been formed.
In the snap of a finger, the Feng family army has been under the city of Yazhou for more than two months, but the war has made no progress, under Chen Jingxuan's "dead eye" general strict defense, the Feng family army organized several sieges have not succeeded, and even several of the night attacks have not been successful, including a sudden attack that wants to enter the city by digging tunnels has also ended in failure.
Although it was a failure for the whole group, it had almost no impact on the overall morale of the Feng family's army, and it was even a few points higher than when he first arrived. After all, the Feng family army is 40,000 troops, and the rebels who are more than twice as high as themselves are scared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, no matter what the real situation is, anyway, the surface situation is that the Feng family army occupies the initiative in this war. As far as away battles are concerned, being able to completely take the initiative in the war into one's own hands is an absolute boost to the morale of the officers and men of the whole army.
In contrast, the rebels in the city were much worse, although on the surface they were outnumbered and had more than enough food and grass. But the morale of the city soldiers was not high, after all, they now had a very heavy hat on their heads, rebels.
However, according to the current situation, even if it is kept for three or two years, there will be no problems. Of course, the premise of all this is that the Feng family army does not have any reinforcements, after all, it is impossible for anyone to attack the fortified city of Lichi with 40,000 defenders. Whether it is Chen Jingxuan and others in the city, or Lin Feng and others outside the city.
And the biggest gap between the two sides lies in the morale of the two sides and the mentality of the commander, although he is very sure of his plan in his heart, but Chen Jingxuan is still worried every day, he doesn't think that the Feng family army outside the city is the master of vegetarianism. For more than two months, he would personally inspect the city almost every day, and would personally boost the morale of the soldiers of various departments, and even sometimes gnaw bread and drink boiling well water with his subordinates at the head of the city. Regardless of whether Chen Jingxuan wants to show off or does it sincerely, this has indeed made a lot of contributions to Yazhou's persistence for more than two months.
For more than two months, Chen Jingxuan, who couldn't eat or drink well every day and even slept uneasy, was tired from his body as if two or three years had passed, and even the beard under his chin was white, and the whole person looked much older. In the face of the advice of Gongsun Yun and General Wang and others, Chen Jingxuan always made a very indifferent posture, smiling and telling everyone that he was out of the way, but only he knew that he was completely forced to do so, and he was also relying on his inner perseverance to support himself.
In contrast, Lin Feng and the others outside the city were simply free, after several sieges and sneak attacks in February and early March, Lin Feng seemed to have given up the plan to attack, ordered people to strengthen the camp, and then ordered everyone to train in the camp.
Since the failed sneak attack on the tunnels nearly a month ago, so far, Lin Feng has not only not sent troops to attack the city in any way again, but also hung up a solid wood free battle card of six or seven square meters outside the camp. This move had no impact on the soldiers of the Feng family's army, but the rebels in the city were a little eager to try, and several impatient generals asked Chen Jingxuan to fight several times, saying that the Fengjia army was almost at the end of the crossbow, and while the morale was not high, only two or three elite cavalry were needed to break up the camp of the Feng family's army, and then they would be able to retreat from the enemy.
For these impulsive and somewhat funny theories, Chen Jingxuan did not scold the generals who proposed to go to war, but comforted them with kind words, anyway, it was a result, stick to the city, and never go to war. The commander gave the order to die, and no one dared to order troops out of the city without permission, even if he was anxious and unconvinced, so he had to continue to be indignant in the city as they considered to be a 'turtle with a shrunken head'.
In fact, the idea of 'shrinking turtle' was only thought up by those belligerent generals themselves, and the Feng family army had not even sent people to scold the formation under the city before, and every time they showed up, they began to attack, and when they saw that the opportunity was not good, they immediately collected their troops and returned to the camp to rest.
And this time, it is even more completely rested, within a radius of ten miles from Yazhou City, there is not even a scout team of the Feng family's army, which is convenient for the rebels in the city to explore the horses, although they dare not scatter the scouts too far, but within five miles of the city, any movement will be reported to Chen Jingxuan's desk as soon as possible, which is also one of the aspects that makes Chen Jingxuan's people a little relieved, after all, this can learn more information, and there is less risk of being suddenly attacked.
But the scout industry is really not easy to do, even if the current danger is not as good as the previous two months, but there will still be a certain squad of scouts wiped out every once in a while, whenever it is found, each corpse will be inserted with a steel three-edged arrow carved feather arrow, although the position is different, but all are neck, heart and other vital positions, as long as the arrow, it is definitely a kill.
It can be seen that these things are definitely not the bandits and bandits nearby, as early as two months ago, when the Feng family army arrived, the bandits who occupied the mountains and fell into the grass had already fled, and they had already smelled the smell of blood, and they took their brothers and migrated to other places in a hurry.
And the "murderer" who killed the rebel scout team was Lin Feng who rode the silver-white purebred sweat and blood BMW 'Exx Nine' and Li Xiaofeng who had a messy coat on his crotch, of course, as well as Zhou Chen, Mao Hao and others, every time they appeared, it was Lin Feng who took the lead, and selected a few generals who wanted to follow him to "fight the autumn wind", and they would leave the camp after breakfast early in the morning, and go around the entire Yazhou City, and by the way, those unlucky rebel scouts who were inadvertently met by themselves were killed one after another, every time before the lunch started, Lin Feng and the others will ride back in the dust.
After nearly a month's effort, Lin Feng and the others totaled the number of scouts they had killed, and there were more than 100 people, and on average, every time they went out, there were fifteen scouts' of 'harvest'. Although the average is not much per person, and these generals are now basically sealed in front of the palace, they naturally don't care about this little credit, so they have given it to the pro-soldiers under their command, although it will not make the official level of the pro-soldiers increase instantly, at least it can make everyone's monthly salary increase by one or two halves.
The duties of the pro-soldiers are mainly responsible for the safety of the generals' lives, and generally as long as it is not a decisive battle, the pro-soldiers basically have no chance to make war achievements, and only in this case can the pro-soldiers get some war merits. However, in contrast, although the promotion is slow, there is no danger, and the status is extraordinary, so the position of a pro-soldier often does not reflect anything.
Just like Lin Han, who has just been appointed as the captain of Lin Feng's personal soldier squad, his official position is only from the sixth rank at the moment, but even if he is a general of the fourth or fifth rank in the army, he is polite and respectful after seeing it, after all, the identity is different, and the third rank official in front of the prime minister's door is also said!
