Chapter 164: Step by step
(Recommended reading: Ji Ling found that his good luck seemed to run out, since he was ordered to lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Yuzhou, he easily took Liang County and Runan County in the south, just as he was about to wave his army north to continue to expand the results, he collided head-on with Xiao Yi, who was going south.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that 'Ghost-faced Xiao Lang' is leading the troops south, are we fighting? Is it keep? In the military tent, Ji Ling's fat face was about to wrinkle into a bun, he was no stranger to Xiao Yi, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he followed Yuan Shu and witnessed the whole process of the war, Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, Tiger Prison Pass fought against Lu Bu, and went west to chase and kill Dong Zhuo's ......army, these feats were all seen by his own eyes, so for Xiao Yi, he was both respectful and afraid!
There was silence in the big tent, who didn't know how powerful Xiao Yi was, even if he hadn't seen him, he had heard of his name of 'killing gods', and why they were able to take advantage of the situation to enter the city of the two counties, it was not because of the Yuzhou Thorn Shi - Kong Ling and his 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, and it was this 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang'!
"Are you scared when you speak?" Ji Ling roared angrily, although he was also a little scared in his heart, he never wanted to lose his prestige in front of his subordinates!
"The general is angry, now that the enemy situation is unknown, the army should not act rashly, it is better to reconnoiter first and then make deployments!" A smart person immediately proposed a way to mitigate, and the rest of the generals also said yes!
They are here to grab land, women, and make a fortune, not to die!
"It's okay, send more reconnaissance rangers, and you must figure out Xiao Yi's marching route and troops!" Ji Ling also didn't want to go to war, so he naturally took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, "In addition, the army will not move for the time being, and the battalions will hurry up to prepare for war, and the battalion must be firmly guarded, understand!" ”
"No! …… Hold your troops and defend the camp! ”
The Xuanjia army still went all the way south, swept all the way, and kept recruiting people and horses from all over the country to enlist, and when it entered the territory of Peiguo, the number was close to 40,000, which was a veritable army, but only God knows how effective this purely patchwork army was.
Xiao Yi is also helpless, this time he only brought 5,000 people into Yuzhou, and used this people to occupy dozens of cities, just like a handful of salt thrown into the sea, it will disappear without a trace in an instant, and in the end it can't be recovered, you know, there are not a few people who want to avenge Kong Ling and the 50,000 army!
But if there is no deterrence from the army, those cities that have just surrendered are likely to rebel again, so Xiao Yi simply used this method to bring all the forces that may rebel with him, monitor and control them at any time, and once there are bad signs, they will be extinguished immediately!
"My lord, I caught more than 200 escapees today!" Dian Wei walked over with a sweaty face, these people who were recruited were extremely unstable, and people were running away almost all the time, so they could only chase them around day and night.
"Kill all the deserters, and hang their heads at the gate of the camp to show the public, and see who dares to flee again!" Xiao Yi didn't even raise his eyelids before he directly gave the order to kill, as if he was going to kill not more than 200 lives, but more than 200 ducks!
"Ahh More than 200 people, all killed? ”
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! ”
"No!"
In order to make this patchwork army obedient, Xiao Yi issued the strictest military orders, using iron-blooded means to deter people's hearts!
"Escapee, kill!"
"Those who don't listen to orders, kill!"
"Slow on the march, kill!"
………………
In the end, even a guy who dropped a grain of rice after eating was tied to a tree and whipped fifty lashes, and he was hurt to death!
In short, under Xiao Yi's command, this army has undergone a radical change, everyone has forbidden, obedient and obedient, and has quickly changed from a rabble to a disciplined, brave and warlike army, at least on the surface!
But when it comes to the battlefield, how many people will be able to fight forward, how many will turn around and run away, and how many will fight back, then only God knows!
The strong outside and the middle cadre are the best evaluation of this army!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In this way, the two armies kept approaching, approaching, and approaching, and finally collided head-on in the field of Peijun!
Pei County, the core of Yuzhou, is not only densely populated, rich in land, but also has a very special political significance to the Han Dynasty, when the Han Gaozu Liu Bang was born here, rose here .......
Now there is also Liu Bang's temple enshrined in Peijun City, it can be said that Peijun is the hometown of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if anyone can take it down, the natural benefits are innumerable!
In addition, Cao Cao's hometown of Qian County is also here, a small county town in the northwest corner of Pei County!
So in public and private, Xiao Yi also has to take this land into his own hands!
"Report to the general, we are less than thirty miles away from Ji Ling's camp!"
"Order, the whole army will pull out the camp and march ten miles forward!" Xiao Yi still looked calm, and didn't seem to take the other party's 50,000 army in his eyes at all.
"Xiao Lang thinks twice, what we brought is a rabble, I'm afraid we will suffer if we rush into it!" Ma Liu hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, and only he and Da Niu dared to do this in the Xuanjia Army!
"I know, but now, we can only advance, not retreat, as long as we are a little cowardly, these tens of thousands of horses will immediately scatter, and even those cities that have surrendered may raise their banners and rebel!" Xiao Yi touched his little black face, all with a determined look, "So we can only gamble, just bet that Ji Ling won't dare to go to war!" ”
"This, what if Ji Ling really responds to the battle?"
"If that's the case, I'll have to take thousands of brothers from the Xuanjia Army to fight guerrillas everywhere!" Xiao Yi was ready for the worst!
On the first day, the Ji Ling battalion did not send troops, but only raised the barriers!
"Very good, advance ten miles further!" Xiao Yat touched his nose.
The next day, the camp of Ji Ling still did not move, but a few more trenches were dug!
"Okay, advance five miles further, and put the sentry under their noses for me!" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and ordered.
This is a psychological warfare, the two sides are like two ferocious beasts, constantly testing each other, whoever can't hold their breath first will lose!
"What? Xiao Yi's army has pressed over! Ji Ling finally couldn't sit still, he had been braking quietly for the past few days, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to be pressing step by step, it seemed that he really wanted to fight with himself!
"Let's go, let's see the reality of the other party!" Ji Ling and his generals hurriedly climbed to the camp wall and took a closer look!
Sure enough, the other party's battalion was about to pierce under their noses, and as far as the eye could see, the black military tents were next to each other, there must be at least forty or fifty thousand horses, and there were loud shouts of killing coming from inside, because it should be the army training, in the position of the opponent's front army, a big banner with the word 'Xiao' on a black background and red edges fluttering in the wind, this is Xiao Yi pushing his Chinese army tent to the front!
"It's really hard to find yourself!"
Seeing this, Ji Ling couldn't help but gasp, he originally thought that Cao Cao's army was still fighting under Xuzhou City, and the troops that could be allocated to Xiao Yi must be limited, and he had 50,000 elite soldiers, with many enemies and outnumbered enemies, even if he couldn't win, at least he could protect himself, but he didn't expect it to be the case at all, the other party's strength was not inferior to him at all, what did the reconnaissance rangers do? Go back and slaughter you all!
The enemy has pushed the battalion under the nose, and there must be a countermeasure!
"Why don't we fight first and try the depths?" Someone dared to propose.
"Idiot, as soon as the knife is pulled out, it will definitely fight to the death, and when ......the time comes, it will be our death? Or is Xiao Yat dead? ”
"This, naturally, is more likely to be our death!"
"Hey, how about that? If we start a war, we will die, and we will flee back, and it will be difficult for the lord to explain! ”
"Otherwise, let's make peace with Xiao Yi!" Finally, a smart man came up with a solution.
"yes...... Negotiate peace, send a messenger over, and bring another generous gift! Ji Ling patted his head, and finally came to his senses, no matter how big Xiao Yi's appetite is, he can't swallow the whole of Yuzhou, as long as he bribes well, there should still be a turnaround, it's a big deal that half of the city family can avoid the disaster of swords and soldiers, and he can also be regarded as having an explanation for the lord Yuan Shu!
"Okay, let's negotiate peace, then who wants to send an envoy to the camp opposite?"
"Whoa!" All the generals and colonels took a step back and went to the camp of the 'God Killer' to negotiate peace, who would want to take this kind of errand to find death!
In the end, after some heated discussions, everyone unanimously decided to draw lots!
