Chapter 476: Morale is like a rainbow, and the heart is determined to die

For Li Zide's radical method, Zhu Wu naturally will not be fooled.

In fact, if he really wants to fight, with Zhu Wu's understanding of the Goryeo people and his confidence in the combat strength and morale of the Liangshan army, he is still confident that he will defeat several times the enemy head-on.

After all, the battlefield here is not open, even if the Liangshan army takes the initiative to attack, too many troops cannot be lined up in front of the battlefield, and he sent two thousand sword and shield soldiers from Xiang Chong's department to break the four or five thousand infantry troops on the opposite side.

After breaking the enemy, the Liangshan army only needs to drive the routed troops to counterattack the enemy's large formation, which can cause an avalanche-like morale loss and formation chaos, followed by a mountain of defeat.

In fact, most of the battles of this era, and even the previous battles, such as the Jurchen army's many defeats of the Liao army, which was ten or even dozens of times that of the Liao, belonged to this situation.

Take the battle of 20,000 to 700,000 to protect Dagang, which the Jurchens are most proud of, for example, the Jurchen army only ran a long distance and defeated the Liao Chinese army, which was less than 80,000 and was preparing to withdraw.

In addition, the 700,000 Liao army had no intention of fighting again because of civil strife, so the whole army collapsed in an instant, and then the Jurchen army chased these routs all the way without a knife or a gun, and surrendered 200,000 or 300,000 troops, and captured countless baggage.

To put it bluntly, on the battlefield, there is a competition for the advancement of weapons and armor, the strength of the organization and execution ability, and the use of strategy and tactics, the most important thing is to compete for morale and the courage to fight to the death.

After the Liangshan army surrendered tens of thousands of Liao troops, it investigated and studied why the Liao army could not defeat the Jurchen army, and finally came to the most important conclusion, that is, the Liao army did not have the heart to die while the Jurchen army did, so the Liao army was the first to collapse at every critical moment, achieving the invincible prestige of the Jurchen army.

In fact, many times, as long as the Liao army did not collapse, the Jurchen army would have been destroyed I don't know how many times.

In terms of morale and the heart to the death, Zhu Wu was confident that the Liangshan army would not be worse than the Jurchen army; On the surface, the morale of the Goryeo army is like a rainbow, but in fact, it is not able to fight at all, and it is far worse than the Liao army.

It was the Yangsan army that broke four or five times the Goryeo army head-on, but in fact, it was not a problem at all.

However, although he was confident, Zhu Wu did not agree to Li Zide's challenge request.

"Rumors, Goryeo Dongyi is scared? What are you afraid of? Aren't you invincible Goryeo Army? Haven't you always looked down on our Chinese Celestial Empire, thinking that we Han people have no blood, weak females and are not good at fighting?

Your Goryeo chief's hometown is under siege by us, and once the city is broken, the Goryeo clan and the nobles in the court will all die tragically or become slaves and sluts. Now there are more than 30,000 of you, and we only have 6,500 of them, but we dare not send troops to attack the battle, and we will not save you when we die! You're scared, a bunch of bastards! ”

Several Liangshan secret agents raised their throats to repeat Zhu Wu's words, and in the end, they just kept repeating loudly: "You guys are scared, a bunch of soft eggs!" ”

"You're scared, a bunch of bastards!"

Li Zide's heart sank slightly, originally he shouted before the battle to provoke the Song army to fight, so as to reduce the casualties here; If the Song army does not fight, it can also severely defeat the spirit of the Song army, hit the morale of the other party, and boost the morale of its own side.

Aren't you ordered to crusade against rebellion and recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties? Don't you pride yourselves on being brave and good at fighting? So dare to hedge before the battle and decide the winner?

But I didn't expect this group of Liangshan thieves to be completely indifferent, but instead attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son - Licheng Port is in danger, don't you look down on us and think that we are weak and not good at fighting? Now your army of more than 30,000 people is facing more than 6,000 of us, and you are so scared that you don't dare to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing that the officers and men of the three armies were all angry and angry, and they asked for battle again, Li Zide's face was pale, and this time he didn't think much about it, and immediately waved his hand.

Well, shouting before the battle this time, you Song people were not fooled, nor were you frustrated by me; However, you have succeeded in provoking the three armies of Goryeo, so wait to accept the wrath of my invincible Goryeo army!

The next moment, I listened to the final mobilization of the two generals who led the troops from Sanpin: "The Gaoli sons of the Eagle Yang Army, the time has come to prove you, rush up for me and kill them all-"

"The sons and daughters of the Divine Tiger Guard, kill all these Song people, kill a Song general and reward a hundred taels of silver, and be promoted to three levels in a rowβ€”β€”"

The drums sounded, and the infantry of the five thousand Divine Tiger Guards began to charge the battle with shields and crossbows in their hands, and behind them, there were three thousand cavalry of the Eagle Yang Army, and the eight thousand people advanced together, and the earth began to shake violently, and the crowd of people was surging, and the momentum was amazing.

On the side of the Liangshan Army, since all the sergeants officially became soldiers of the Liangshan Army, similar combat drills have been carried out almost every day.

In addition, military discipline is strict, and those who dare to look around, make loud noises, or make small movements after standing in the queue will be beaten with a hundred military sticks at least and directly beheaded at worst.

Before receiving the officer's order, each sergeant just looked ahead solemnly, slightly nervously clenched the shield, spear, bow and arrow in his hand, silently took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down his mood according to the method taught by the instructor, suppressing the fear and bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

But no matter how hard they tried, many people's heartbeats were still getting faster and faster, and the whole person was excited, and even the blood could be heard rattling in the blood vessels, and many people trembled slightly.

This is the war in the era of cold weapons, hand-to-hand combat, face-to-face fighting for life, distorted faces, corpses and stumps and broken arms all over the ground, cruel and bloody to the extreme, the pressure can be imagined, so it is also the most test of the soldier's blood and bravery.

In the original historical time and space, the reason why the Song army was repeatedly defeated in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty was that most of them were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and even the Jin soldiers fled from the wind when they were still hundreds of miles away, that is, they lost their blood and bravery, and they could not withstand such great pressure and collapsed in advance.

Fortunately, in this time and space, the same group of Han family children, Liang Shanjun is completely different from them.

At this moment, in the face of the angry charge of the Korean people, it is not for nothing that they are timid, but most of them are extremely excited.

The opportunity to accumulate military exploits and obtain honors has arrived.

The Koreans were still rushing into battle, the pace was getting faster and faster, and soon they were at the land of a stone's throw, in order to boost morale, but also by the emotions of the battlefield, everyone was tearing their hearts and screaming, and the momentum became more and more amazing.

Immediately, a sound of gold sounded, all the leading soldiers and guards shouted, and the five thousand Goryeo infantry stopped one after another, and then in the roar of officers at all levels, the front three rows erected shields, and the sergeants behind began to bend their bows and arrows.

Li Zide was full of excitement, and at the same time he was a little unsteady, and saw that the Goryeo infantry army had stopped advancing and was about to release arrows, and the soldiers of the Song army were still standing stupidly as at the beginning, so he couldn't help but say: "These Song people are not scared stupidly, why are they still not moving?" ”

He started his head, and naturally he was indispensable to praise, and many Goryeo generals around him immediately followed his words and began to laugh at the Song army opposite.
