"Are you really scared?"

Yang Xin looked at Lu Xiangsheng in front of him with interest.

The latter looks like a lot of vicissitudes, and it is no longer the original little fresh meat.

After entering the military in the second year of the Apocalypse, Lu Xiangsheng first worked in charge of the military department, and then was transferred to Liaodong to counsellor military affairs, and later served as the Shenyang military reserve road as a judge in Shandong.

His promotion was indeed very fast.

However, considering his background as the first and second class in cavalry archery, it is not too prominent, and the imperial court has promoted a lot of people who have been on the rise in the past few years, Sun Yuanhua, Chen Yujie, and of course Yang Xin. Hong Chengchou also governor Xuanda at this time, how can others not say it, there is definitely talent, in addition, Yang Sichang is also promoted quickly, the emperor is young, after all, he prefers younger officials.

Lu Xiangsheng is very dazzling, and it is only because of his military exploits in Liaodong.

But after deducting the factor of military merits, it is only two years of promotion and preparation, which is not too dazzling.

It is said that Chen Yujie has only been two months from Dr. Qipin to Bingbei Dao!

Facing Yang Xin at this moment, Lu Xiangsheng nodded calmly.

He was indeed afraid.

The fiasco in the battle of Xuyi completely makes people feel like they want to scold their mother.

The Jingnan Army's face-to-face is indeed terrifying, but that is not the key to the almost total annihilation of an army, at this time, firearm shooting is never the key to determining the outcome of the victory, and in the end, it is still necessary to use cold weapon fighting as a means of victory. Moreover, the Liaodong Army does not lack fighting ability, with countless zhangba spears, axes and guns, as well as two-handed Miao knives supported by the shield wall, and even throwing grenades across the shield wall, which have been tested in actual combat.

They used this tactic to fight with Jiannu many times, and it can be said that they did not fall behind at all.

In the last decisive battle against Jiannu, there were many cases of hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, and many of the Jiannu who fled desperately were stabbed to death by Zhangba spears in the bloody battle across the shield wall, and were hacked to death by axes and guns, and the enemy rushed to the shield wall, which quickly threw a wave of grenades, and then put on a long-handled cold weapon, and the Miao knife hand cut and rushed through the shield wall in the back, this set of tactics has long been very skillful.

But what about this time?

There is no cold weapon fighting at all!

After being shot in the face, everyone gave up the battle, and then raised their hands to surrender as if it was none of their business, waiting for the Jingnan army.

And the four armies of the Liaodong infantry are all of the same composition.

In Xuyi, if they can directly give up the last and most critical cold weapon fighting, then the other three armies can do the same, and it can even be said that they will definitely do so, and there is almost no suspense.

It's going to be fatal in the decisive battle.

In the real decisive battle of the whole army, a group of people suddenly surrender in battle, which will collapse the entire battle situation, and he would rather not use such subordinates.

"Then you don't think anyone else will be like that?"

Yang Xin said.

At this moment, they were on the bank of the Hun River, surrounded by trampled wheat fields in the early summer, although the population had been relocated, but their crops were still a lot, but they had been trampled by the previous cavalry. This is the most important post station from Suzhou to Fengyang, and it was prosperous in the past, Guzhen Bridge is the main bridge to cross the river in this area, as for the land belongs to Lingbi County, there are even a few squires who would rather die than leave, looking at these with sad and indignant eyes......

These traitors!

This area is said to be the battlefield of the decisive battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and the exact location is disputed, but in general, Xiang Yu's army was destroyed on this vast plain.

"Ying Guogong, the lower officials can't surrender, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng said lightly.

"Then it's up to you!"

Yang Xin said.

"Actually, you know why you can't beat me.

Because my soldiers are not fighting for me, even if I declare that I will retire to the mountains and forests and never ask about the world, you will not be able to defeat these soldiers behind me.

They can walk up to the bullets and shells and shoot your soldiers in the face, only to turn around and walk away before they can fire. They can take 20 or even 30 percent casualties, and then regroup after being swept away by the cavalry, drowning all the enemy like a swamp, while your soldiers will collapse in less than two percent of casualties.

How about we do a trial?

We went back and found a battalion for each of them, and let the soldiers come out one by one, aiming at each other and firing at a distance of seven feet.

After one group is finished, the next group will be replaced regardless of life or death.

I can guarantee that not a single person in one of my battalions will not dare because they are afraid of death, so can you guarantee that your battalion will dare as well?

If you don't even have the courage to win?

It's a joke. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Whether you can win or not has to try to know, the lower officials are favored by the emperor, and they should be loyal to repay Your Majesty, whether the Duke of Yingguo is strong or not is not for the lower officials, the lower officials only know to fight for Your Majesty to the end!

As for victory or defeat.

Do your best and let God do your best! ”

Lu Xiangsheng said somewhat gloomily.

He was obviously lacking in confidence, and he was indeed full of confidence when he did not go to war.

After all, at that time, he had a real elite team of 100 battles, and the army still had an absolute advantage, and the battlefield was the most suitable environment for his subordinates, as long as Yang Xin did not take action in person, there was no reason not to win. But since the beginning of the war, he has not won a single victory, whether it is the Mongol cavalry or the chariot infantry that is regarded as the pillar, all have been defeated, and Yang Xin does not seem to have any clever tactics.

It's just a trick to get a face.

No matter what happens here, that side is to go to Qizhang and shoot a salvo.

Then none of his men resisted.

This feeling is really embarrassing, but he has nothing to do, because Yang Xin's tactics cannot be replicated at all......

Let the soldiers endure and not fire?

Let them fire again when the Jingnan army is ready to fire?

That's impossible!

His soldiers did not shoot to kill the enemy, but to prevent the enemy from getting close enough to kill him, so even in the past, when the bird gun was used, it was normal for the soldier to start shooting from a distance of thirty feet. Looking at so many musketeers, constantly approaching the distance where they could shoot themselves, it would be a fool not to run away, and the Jingnan army on the Xuyi battlefield had already begun to rout before they could shoot, because the soldiers knew that if they shot themselves, they would die. Just like Yang Xin said, now that one person is looking for a battalion to let the soldiers shoot at each other one by one, I am afraid that none of his subordinates will be able to find anyone who is willing to do it.

The reason why a soldier held out on the battlefield was that the chances of a musket killing him were not high.

When he was going to die, he ran away early.

But Yang Xin's subordinates are different, they are for the land that the family has just divided, for the good life that the wife and children have just gotten, and they have one purpose, to prevent the imperial court from regaining control of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Even if it is stopped with life.

And what about his soldiers?

It's nothing more than for that bit of military salary, whether the imperial court regains control of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the soldiers', the soldiers come to fight for three taels of silver a month, and they have only one principle for fighting, save their lives and then continue to receive three taels of silver a month!

As for faithfulness, hehe.

"You also think I'm unfaithful?"

Yang Xin said.

Lu Xiangsheng did not answer him.

"I'm really sad, it's just that others misunderstand me, even you misunderstand me, my heart is really going to break.

Why do you all think I'm unfaithful?

I did take the gentry's land, but I turned the gentry's land into His Majesty's, and I did abolish the military households of the guards, but I turned the military households of the guards into His Majesty's militia along with the tenants. I did establish another set of government, but this government is still loyal to His Majesty, the first thing the Four Peoples Assembly did when it met was to worship Taizu, and the first thing I did when I went to Fengyang was to worship the imperial tomb.

I will continue to pay a lot of taxes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the past when the imperial court collects from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Who am I dealing with?

Corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry!

Of course, this may include your family, but your property was not confiscated, but the land was distributed to your tenants, and your slaves and maids were released.

But not all of them were released.

After all, there are still a few old people who are loyal to your family, according to the Taizu system, you, the earl, can also have more than a dozen slaves, and I do things according to the teachings of the Taizu. My Majesty and I are like brothers, Your Majesty also regards me as a brother, Your Majesty is so good to me, how can I be a disgrace to Your Majesty? ”

Yang Xin said.

"How can Your Majesty be able to bear Zhou Shizong?"

Lu Xiangsheng said lightly.

"Huh?"

Yang Xin was speechless.

"Yingguo Gong, Xia Guan doesn't care about his family business, Xia Guan is not one of those squires, he hasn't taken the little field at home too seriously, I want the fields to be everywhere in Liaodong, Chen Yujie is reclamation of hundreds of thousands of acres in the plains, although it is not as good as the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but these sorghum, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other harvests are not less than those in Beizhili. Not to mention that there are still thousands of miles of fertile fields on both sides of the Liaohe River, and then build dams and canals to divert water for irrigation, just like Yingguo Gong in Tianjin, it is not impossible to grow rice in eastern Liao.

But the subordinate thinks that he has to be a loyal minister.

So the lower official really wants to ask Ying Guogong, on the day of the yellow robe, do you still want to continue to be your self-deceived loyal minister?

Your Excellency and Your Majesty are brothers?

The Zhao brothers are still compatriots!

Even if you don't want to be Zhao Da, no one under you wants to be Zhao Er? Ying Guogong, don't deceive yourself anymore, you still want to turn back when you come to this point? Even if you want to turn back, your subordinates have to push you forward, Lu does think that he is not your opponent, you are too ruthless to defeat, but Lu is a minister, he should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he can't beat it, he has to fight! ”

Lu Xiangsheng said.

After speaking, he stood up and did not salute Yang Xin again, but turned around and left directly.

"Alas!"

Yang Xin let out a long sigh in the back.

"Lord, this guy is too rude, just do him here!"

Zhang Xianzhong said.

"Don't mess around, they are all old brothers, the battlefield is on the battlefield, and you still have to be righteous under the battlefield, pass on the order, and the whole army will attack, he is right, this battle will always be fought."

Yang Xin said.
