Wei Mu, the general of Nanyan, is also a very good general, there is no reason why he can't see what Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, can see. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, just when Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was becoming more and more jealous of the Su Wang Army, Wei Mu, who was beside Zhao Hongrun, also praised the soldiers of the Shangshui Army on the battlefield without hesitation.

And for the performance of these soldiers of the merchant army on the battlefield, Zhao Hongrun is also quite satisfied.

For example, the vanguard of the Shangshui Army advanced slowly, and after the first arrow attack of the Han Army in Ji County, it suddenly changed the rhythm of the battle, put on a fierce attack posture, and exerted psychological pressure on the Han Army in Ji County; Another example is the 3,000-strong general Xu Jiong, who led the crossbowmen to suddenly enter the battlefield after the first arrow attack of the Korean army, seized the gap between the crossbowmen of the Korean army in Jixian County to load arrows, and suppressed the wall of Jixian with a salvo of second-stage shots.

These things were all figured out by the generals of the merchant and naval armies themselves.

Although it is just a little trick to make it clear, it is undeniable that it is quite a practical little trick.

Looking at these soldiers of the merchant and naval army, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Whether it is the Shang Shui Army or the Yanling Army, these soldiers from the Pingxuan Army, after more than four years of battlefield tempering, have finally been sharpened from a rabble to an elite division, and have become an indispensable military force of the Wei State.

Who would have thought that this army, which had not yet won a single defeat, was almost killed by a certain His Royal Highness King Su in the first place?

"No, no, no, there are still many deficiencies in the merchant army."

Zhao Hongrun pretended to humbly respond to Wei Mu's praise, but in fact, he was very satisfied with Shang Shuijun in his heart.

He felt that the cooperation of the various departments within the Shang Shui Army was becoming more and more tacit, so that there was no need for the heralds to deliver orders, and the generals of each department could also understand their responsibilities and make the most reasonable judgment in a timely manner - in terms of the scene of the sudden change in the rhythm of the battle of the Shang Shui Army on the battlefield, if the various departments were contacted through the heralds, it would definitely not be so fast, in other words, this was the judgment of Ran Teng, a special thousand-man general, and Xu Jiong and Lu Zhan, the three thousand-man generals.

This is very good, this means that the middle-level generals of the Shangshui Army have also begun to know how to 'think', instead of waiting for Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, to deliver orders to them.

It may be that when the middle and low-level generals of an army know how to "think" and gradually make their own judgments, there will be some changes in this army that I don't know whether they are good or bad, so that the strength of this army will have some unstable fluctuations, but one thing is certain: an army that understands and gradually gets used to thinking is far more difficult to deal with than an army that only knows how to follow the orders of the general as long as it is run-in.

"If Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, doesn't send cavalry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover ......"

Looking at Ji County in the distance, Zhao Hongrun simply looked at the battle from the standpoint of a bystander.

I have to say that as Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Sun Shuke, Zhai Huang and others gradually showed their talents in on-the-spot command, Zhao Hongrun became more and more relaxed.

Because once upon a time, it seemed that this kind of siege battle must have been personally commanded by him, because at that time, no general could take the lead alone, but now, he can already lose the command to Qu Cheng, Zhai Huang and others, which is convenient for him to rationally analyze the performance of the enemy and our armies on the battlefield from an objective point of view, absorb the good aspects of the enemy army, and eradicate the bad performance of his own army.

Even, from time to time, you can ridicule the enemy general on the opposite side.

"Maybe after a while, I don't even need to go out with the army, just command remotely in the girder......

Looking at the soldiers of the Shangshui Army who performed well on the battlefield, Zhao Hongrun thought happily.

In all fairness, if it weren't for his worries, in fact, Zhao Hongrun didn't like to go out to fight at all, because the conditions when he was out of the war were too difficult, he didn't have the opportunity to take a bath once in ten days and a half months, and he had to run to a secluded corner of the barracks when he squatted in the pit, and the food was almost always pickled meat and pickled vegetables, which could compare to his life in the palace of King Su of Daliangsu.

On the side, Wei Mu noticed Zhao Hongrun's happy expression, and he was mistaken, mistakenly thinking that His Royal Highness King Su was in control, so he also showed a faint smile.

But it is undeniable that at this moment, the merchant and naval armies on the battlefield do have a formal advantage - it is simply unimaginable that a besieging army can actually have the advantage and dominate the battle.

"Whoosh-"

Another rain of arrows shrouded the western city wall of Ji County, and when the Han soldiers on the city wall subconsciously dodged the arrows, under the city wall, the infantry of the Shangshui Army were already climbing the ladder.

The posture of these merchant soldiers climbing the ladder is very interesting.

The usual posture of climbing the ladder is nothing more than grasping the layers of crossbars with both hands, but in this way, the soldiers do not have a third hand to grasp the shield to resist the threat from above.

Therefore, these merchant soldiers came up with a solution, that is, to hold the shield above their heads with their left hand, and with their right hand, or right arm to be exact, hold the right vertical pole of the ladder and fix their bodies, while their legs quickly stepped on the layers of crossbars.

Zhao Hongrun didn't know if it was that clever soldier who came up with this trick, otherwise, he would definitely give this person a special reward, because climbing the cloud ladder with this posture is indeed very applicable, especially suitable for Wei sword and shield hands equipped with shields.

It's just that in this way, the Han soldiers on the city wall are a little dumbfounded: you hold the shield with one hand, and climb the ladder with only the other hand and legs, why can you climb the ladder faster than a monkey? Could it be that you have grown a third hand?

Before these Han soldiers could figure out the reason, the Shangshui saber and shield soldiers had already attacked the city wall of Jixian.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, it was a special thousand people who took the lead in Ran Teng and took the lead in killing the city wall.

"Bang! Bang"

With two muffled sounds, the heavy shield in Ran Teng's hand, after shaking away the long sword cut by the Han soldier, first slammed it against the chest of the Han soldier, causing the latter to stumble and involuntarily retreat, and then, Ran Teng swept the shield in his hand backhand, slapped it heavily on the cheek of another Han soldier, and smashed the teeth in the opponent's mouth.

While making the above movements, Ran Teng quickly pulled out the combat knife on his waist, slashed out a knife, and slashed at the chest of the third Han soldier who attacked his attack range.

The sharp sword easily cut through the weak light armor of the Han soldier, so that blood burst out and splashed Ran Teng's face.

Just a face, the Han soldiers were killed and wounded, this is the force of the thousands of generals of the Shang Shui Army.

Immediately, only to hear a strange cry of "aha", Yang Wu, a soldier of the Shang Shui Army, also climbed the city wall, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and took the initiative to rush to the Korean soldiers on the city wall, killing several Korean soldiers one after another.

"This kid ......"

Ran Teng looked at Yang Wu not far away with some headaches.

For this fierce soldier under his command, who is no less than 500 generals in terms of force, and can even be compared to 1,000 generals, Ran Teng has always felt a headache, after all, this guy is completely a thorn, he does not obey orders on the battlefield at all, and every time he kills the most enemies.

If it weren't for the strength of this guy, Ran Teng would have hung this guy and strictly enforced military discipline.

"Ran Teng is a thousand generals, just leave it to me over there."

Just as Ran Teng gritted his teeth and was secretly annoyed, a merchant soldier came to Ran Teng's side and pointed to the location of Yang Wu.

Strangely, after seeing this soldier, Ran Teng, the special thousand-person general, showed a rare look of respect, and said in a calm tone: "Then please." ”

Ran Teng, a special thousand-person general who is comparable to the level of an ordinary 3,000-person general, would be so respectful to a soldier?

It turned out that this soldier was Gan Mao, the former chief general of the Donglai Army of Qi State.

"One, two, three, kill with me!"

After shouting an order, Gan Mao led dozens of soldiers who had forcibly climbed the city wall and killed in the direction of Guanlou.

It's also a bit strange, obviously Gan Mao is only a soldier, but those commanders and army commanders are willing to listen to this person's dispatch, and even a hundred generals followed.

And looking at Gan Mao's back in the distance, Ran Teng's expression became very strange again.

"This ...... It seems that he has adapted to being a soldier......

Once upon a time, Ran Teng had little affection for Gan Mao, the general of Qi who had insulted their merchant army, so much so that after following the order of His Royal Highness King Su and throwing him to the bottom of his command, Ran Teng didn't care about Gan Mao's life or death.

But then, things changed a little.

Because after several common births and deaths, the generals of the Shangshui Army gradually accepted Gan Mao, the only Qi person in the army, and developed a love for each other, and Gan Mao gradually adapted to the identity of a non-commissioned officer of the Shangshui Army, and fought for the Shangshui Army every time.

Since the initial setback at Wangwu Mountain, Ran Teng realized his own inadequacy in command, and under the coincidence of karma, he suddenly remembered that he still had Gan Mao, the "hidden" general of the Qi State, so he asked Gan Mao for advice.

And Gan Mao was not stingy, imparting all kinds of experience to Ran Teng, and once again narrowed his relationship with the Shang Shui Army, so that even if Gan Mao is still a soldier, even if he is still a soldier, even if he says something, even if there are hundreds of generals, some people will listen to him.

"His Royal Highness King Su won't have forgotten this 'General of the Qi Kingdom', right?"

Ran Teng speculated secretly.

In view of the various experiences that Gan Mao had imparted to him, Ran Teng gradually realized that the talent of Gan Mao, a Qi general, would never be inferior to General Zhai Huang, the deputy general of their merchant army, but such a great general's talent is still in the ranks of soldiers so far, which makes Ran Teng inevitably feel a little sorry for Gan Mao.

Of course, he didn't dare to rashly promote Gan Mao's military position, after all, this former Qi general was originally thrown into their merchant army as a soldier because he offended a certain His Royal Highness King Su.

At first, Ran Teng thought that after they withdrew their troops from Qi and Chu, His Royal Highness King Su would let Gan Mao return to the Donglai army of Qi.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Su has not pardoned this general of Qi so far.

With Ran Teng's understanding of His Royal Highness King Su, it will not come to this point, then the only explanation is that His Royal Highness King Su may have forgotten about this matter a long time ago.

"Or...... Mention him a hundred people will take a look?'

Ran Teng pondered secretly.

I have to say that from a selfish point of view, he was very reluctant to let Gan Mao return to Qi State, after all, Gan Mao was obviously a general, and he had adapted to the military camp life of the Shang Shui Army, in this case, how could he let such a general return to Qi State in vain?

You must know that in terms of commanding generals, their merchant army has been compared to the Yanling army - the Yanling army originally had the talents of Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, and Sun Shuke showed his prominence a while ago, but what about his merchant army? Only the adjutant general, General Zhai Huang, can take charge alone.

Therefore, Ran Teng very much hoped that Gan Mao could become the second general of the Shang Shui Army who could take charge on his own.

Of course, this matter ultimately depends on the attitude of His Royal Highness King Su.

And for this matter, Ran Teng guessed really right, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, really forgot that there was such a person as Gan Mao.

Although Zhao Hongrun has a vivid memory, but as we all know, memory is based on association, is inducing, for example, whether you see an apple, or hear the word apple, this is a capture of information, in this case, you will think of information about the apple, such as what it looks like, how it tastes to eat, etc.

It's impossible to concentrate halfway through your work and suddenly want to nibble on an apple unless there's one at the table.

And the same is true of Gan Mao's situation, although Zhao Hongrun remembers this person, but so far, Gan Mao, as a low-level soldier, has no contact with Zhao Hongrun at all, and Zhao Hongrun has never heard of anything about Gan Mao, in this case, where can Zhao Hongrun think of such a person?

Even at this moment, when he saw several thousand-person teams of the vanguard army of the Shangshui Army fighting vigorously on the wall of Jixian County, advancing and retreating, Zhao Hongrun was still wondering: Among those thousand-person generals, are there any talents in commanding generals?

"Boom boom boom—"

The well cart of the merchant water army was finally pushed to the outside of Ji County.

The crossbowmen of the merchant army outside the city immediately boarded the well car and climbed to suppress the Korean army on the wall of Ji County.

Among them, some of the crossbowmen of the Shang Shui Army held sniper crossbows and began to snipe the generals of the Korean army who commanded the battle on the city wall, and took the lives of those generals with cold sniper crossbow arrows.

At the same time, Lu Zhan, a general of 3,000 troops, led his infantry to launch a second wave of offensive on the western city wall of Jixian County to aid the vanguard of his army.

I have to say that the army under Lu Zhan's command joined the battle for the city wall, which made the original stalemate on the city wall immediately tilt towards the side of the Shang Shui Army.

Seeing this scene, many Korean generals jumped like thunder, roaring and scolding the Korean soldiers under their command, trying to take back the city wall.

But as soon as these people emerged, they were killed on the spot by snipers who were mixed in with the crossbowmen of the Shangshui Army, so that the battle on the west city wall of Jixian County gradually showed a one-sided trend.

Faced with this situation, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, turned pale.

Although after listening to Storm Kite's story, he had realized that the Su Wang army on the other side might be the most elite Wei army he had ever encountered, he still did not expect that his own army would behave so badly in front of this Wei army.

In fact, in all fairness, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, does not need to be so resentful, because the weapons and equipment and combat capabilities of the Su Wang Army are more than one step higher than the South Korean infantry, and there is no shame in losing, after all, the South Korean army is not famous for its infantry in the first place.

"Put a signal and call the cavalry to raid the Wei army!"

After some deep thought, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, suddenly ordered.

Hearing this, the violent kite's face showed a little consternation: "Lord Dangyinhou, you ......"

Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, raised his hand to interrupt Storm Kite's words, looked at the battlefield and said, "Maybe you are telling the truth, but no matter what, it is unacceptable for me to let this city change hands so easily." ”

The kite opened his mouth and stopped talking several times, but eventually, he closed his mouth.

He knew that there was some fear, which he would only understand if he had experienced it himself.
