Chapter 417: The First World War

Yang Feng led the Lu family army into the gap in the ruined city wall, and a street battle began.

The 15,000 Lu family army pressed on, in front of Yuan Shao's army without the city wall as the backing, the strength of the Lu family army was fully displayed, layer by layer of guns and three stacks of arrays, rows of guns telescopic in front of the enemy who could not be blocked, the enemy in the distance kept rushing over, wanting to block with bows and arrows, but the giant arrows and longbows of the Lu family army were powerful, and batches of giant arrows penetrated the relatively thin shields, penetrated those archers, nailed them to the streets, and could not shoot people, and they could not get to the side of the street battles, this battle was actually no longer able to fight, The morale of Yuan Shao's army collapsed in a blink of an eye.

In order to increase the momentum, Xu Jie drove all the 20,000 people outside the city into Zhuojun City, and did not want them to go to the battlefield to fight, just to cause countless psychological pressure on the enemy's army of the Lu family, so that the enemy would collapse quickly.

Then standing in the gap in the city wall, Xu Jie ordered the people to shout to the city: "Surrender and don't kill, and each soldier who surrenders will be rewarded with 1,000." "Now Xu Jie has understood Lu Peng's idea that the problem that can be solved with money can be solved with money.

Yuan Shao's army was originally forcibly conscripted by the people, or desperate outcasts, and they had no loyalty at all. At this time, the army's morale was scattered, and the surrender not only did not die, but also could have a thousand dollars to take, so what kind of strength did it have, simply surrendered, or simply joined the Lu family's army, it is said that the treatment of the Lu family army is outrageous, not only the battle has double money and food, but also gives land, how to calculate and how to calculate, so everyone immediately threw away their swords and guns, knelt on the ground and shouted surrender, and some also bargained with the Lu family army who received the surrender: "I am a military candidate, and my surrender fee can be higher." ”

Seeing some of these faces, the soldiers of the Lu family army really couldn't cry or laugh, do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables? And with a bargain, it's ridiculous.

As soon as the three fathers and sons of the Lu family saw that the general trend was gone, they did not love war, so they took advantage of the chaos to entangle the footsteps of the Lu family's army, directly packed up the gold and silver that they had looted over the years, and went directly out of the West Gate with 500 personal soldiers, and fled in the wilderness.

Xu Jie walked on the bloody long street, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, thanks to the whimsy of the lord, these catapults were created, thanks to the rich money and grain in Youzhou to hire these loyal people, and finally took down this Zhuo County.

Taking Zhuo County is equivalent to ensuring the safety of the main father's back road, but at this time, Zhuo County has also become the front line in the face of Yuan Shao's merger and the two counties of Youzhou in the north that are still in Yuan Shao's hands, and the pressure is even greater.

It was too late to inspect the Zhuoxian treasury and count the number of prisoners, so standing on the long street, Xu Jie said to Yang Feng: "Now you immediately disassemble the trebuchet and load the car, take 10,000 troops and 20,000 people to the south to reinforce the lord, and I will take 5,000 soldiers to guard this back for you." ”

Yang Feng knew that Zhuo County had just arrived, and the enemy's forces had not been completely cleared, especially in the face of the oppression of the two counties in Bingzhou and the north, leaving only 5,000 men and horses to guard here, which was almost a dead place, especially for a literati to stay here, which was absolutely impossible, so he resolutely said: "The task of leading the army south is still carried out by Mr., I will stay here, I promise, as long as I still have a breath, your back will never be exposed to the enemy." ”

Xu Jie smiled: "As soon as I heard your tone, I didn't have the slightest confidence in you to defend here, so I was even more worried, so let me stay here." ”

"No, Mr. is a literati, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, not to mention that the lord needs your advice, and you can better reflect your usefulness in the lord."

Xu Jie was very touched by Yang Feng's concern, but still insisted: "War is no longer like the original Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which paid attention to the fighting generals of the two armies, and now it is about how to command, a commander has no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so I, a resourceful person, is here, but I am more able to cope with all kinds of changes, just your brainless bones, you can only shout and kill, how can you reassure us?" ”

Seeing that Yang Feng was still arguing, Xu Jie shook his hand and put forward his reasons: "A city is in hand, the people need to be stable, the captives need to be stabilized, the place needs to be restored, the city wall needs to be repaired, and the grain and grass need to be continuously mobilized, let me ask you, can you do these things well?" Then he was quite obviously contemptuous of him: "I doubt that you can count ten numbers, these things are in your hands, it is simply a mess." ”

Yang Feng opened his mouth, he had no ability to refute Xu Jie's contempt for him, after all, he was a rough man, fighting and killing was his strong point, and if he really wanted to hand over the city he had just occupied to himself to manage and stabilize, it would be an impossible task.

"Otherwise, I will leave 10,000 soldiers to my husband, and I will take 5,000 soldiers and 20,000 people to the south."

Xu Jie retorted: "Going south is like fighting a fire, how can it be done when there are fewer people?" Originally, this time, our lord made a serious mistake in the tactics of adding fuel, and if he couldn't concentrate his full strength, it would be a mistake within a mistake. Then patted Yang Feng on the shoulder: "If you die in battle, it doesn't matter at all, but our lord must have three long and two short, then the ideal world that we all yearn for will collapse, we hope that we can achieve that ideal world, but looking at the world, only the lord knows how to achieve it, so even if all our soldiers are killed, as long as the lord is safely withdrawn to Youzhou, our ideal goal will be achieved." Then he said firmly: "People live for a lifetime, but they are just for a goal ideal, the ideal of the lord requires countless blood and lives to achieve, so let's start with us." ”

Yang Feng's nose was sour, and his voice couldn't help choking, but he also knew that this was not the time for his mother-in-law, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Just follow Mr.'s instructions, but I want to leave 10,000 people, although these 10,000 people don't have any combat effectiveness, but they are all loyal and commendable, and they will definitely become Mr.'s right-hand man, please don't shirk Mr. no matter what." ”

This is very necessary, now the people recruited in Youzhou, everyone is towards Youzhou, if in a critical moment, use righteousness to inspire them, and then arm them, let them charge into battle is impossible, but if they rely on the city wall, guarding the city is definitely more effective than those enemy troops who have been forcibly recruited.

So the two broke up on this long street, and Yang Feng took 10,000 troops, 10,000 people, and all the catapults to the south in the starry night.

Looking at the back of the distant army, Xu Jie silently said to the south: "Lord, your back will be handed over to me." ”
